In Beijing, the traditional courtyard houses are elegant and profound.
On this hot summer day, there were cicadas chirping loudly on the elm trees in the courtyard.
In a capital city that is now full of steel and concrete cages, to have such an elegant courtyard house means that this family must be rich or noble.
However, in fact, this courtyard is the residence of Fang Lujian, the second eldest son of the Fang family.
Fang Lujian lived in this courtyard and usually took care of flowers, plants and bonsai. Whenever he encountered something he was proud of, he would often move it to his father's place for Old General Fang to appreciate it, and the father and son would discuss it together.
On a hot day like today, a sunshade net had already been set up in the yard, and Fang Lujian was wandering around the yard with his hands behind his back.
On a very conspicuous high platform in the yard, there is a pot of ordinary orchids.
To say plain and natural actually means that the pot was not professionally made. The orchid growers did not bring out the essence of the orchid, did not comb it, and did not provide enough fertilizer. Even this pot is so crazy.
Catching him is really a waste of natural resources.
In the scorching hot weather, Fang Lujian's face and neck were covered with sweat, and his clothes were soaked through.
Standing not far from him, two garden workers were waiting quietly, waiting for his instructions.
"Zhu Si, what do you think of this pot of grass? In your opinion, how valuable is this thing?" Fang Lujian pointed at the orchid pot.
The worker known as Zhu Si was in his forties, with dark skin, strong arm muscles, and broad, rough hands. He looked like someone who had worked hard for a long time.
In fact, Zhu Si was a flower worker. It is said that his ancestors worked in the flower and wood room of the Forbidden City. His skills were passed down from generation to generation, and he was especially good at growing orchids.
Zhu Si smiled naively and said with a mouthful of Beijing movies: "Mr. Fang really has good eyesight. This pearl orchid is extremely rare. It must be the Qianyan orchid from the Central Plains. The so-called Qianyan does not refer to the variety, but to the growing environment.
!Based on the variety, this should be Gladiolus.
But because it has been growing on steep rocks for a long time, perhaps for thousands of years, its species has undergone unique mutations and has become the extremely rare 'Thousand Rock Orchid'."
Fang Lujian frowned and said, "What? Is it so expensive?"
Zhu Sidao: "Last year at the Beijing Orchid Expo, a Thousand Rock Orchid cost hundreds of thousands." He pointed to the orchid pot, "This orchid pot has not been well served. Now we can divide it into three. There should be three grasses."
It’s worth it! It’s worth a lot of money!”
Fang Lujian said nothing and walked around the basin with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he saw this pot of orchids, he felt that this thing was extraordinary. Because most people who love flowers have a natural sensitivity. This feeling is very subtle and can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
It was for this reason that Fang Lujian called Zhu Si over. When an expert asked, it turned out that this thing was very extraordinary.
"Zhu Si, I leave this grass to you! Raise it according to your ideas. If you raise it well, your wages will be doubled!" Fang Lujian warned.
"Yes. Mr. Fang, I will not disappoint you!" Zhu Sidao, his eyes glowed with surprise. As an orchid grower, it is very gratifying to be able to raise a good orchid. It is more expensive than labor.
Even more gratifying.
But Fang Lujian didn't pay attention to Zhu Si's expression. He turned around and entered his living room with some worries.
Entering the living room, his wife Xu Lian came over to wipe his face with a towel. Fang Lujian wiped his face. Xu Lian said:
"I said, Lao Fang, don't think about that Orchid! I've seen that kid. He's very good. He can be appreciated by the leadership at a young age. He's already working in a department now, and it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted. In the future, we
My daughter will follow him. He will not wrong Wanqi!"
Xu Lian babbled, then she paused and said: "Anyway, I am satisfied with this child. Even Xu Ziqing from Chujiang praised Chen Jing and said this child is amazing!"
Fang Lujian chuckled and said: "Honey, don't talk about orchids! This orchid is a rare plant, and its price is at least one million. The gift you brought back this time is not light!"
"What? A million? Isn't it just a broken basin? Is it really worth that much money?" Xu Lian said in surprise.
Immediately, a smile appeared on her face and she said: "Oh, I just said that Xiao Chen is an amazing kid. He is playing a right and wrong card to me. I gave this kid a painting, and he turned around.
Come and give me a pot of exotic herbs like this.
The prices of my paintings are displayed there, but I was almost kept in the dark about what this kid gave me, and I almost didn’t understand its value!”
She enthusiastically came over and pulled Fang Lujian and said: "I mean Lu Jian, I think this kid is serious. He must have mastered your little hobby, otherwise he would definitely not send orchids here!"
Fang Lujian snorted and said: "You, I don't know if you were given a **** soup, but now you say yes every day, it makes my ears prickly!"
Xu Lian was stunned for a moment, then became happy and said: "So what's the point of it? You are like a duck with a tough mouth. Your son-in-law is an amazing talent. You have picked it up. In the future, he will be in our Fang family."
, together with our Lian Jie, he will definitely hold up the lintel."
Fang Lujian said: "Such a good son-in-law, why haven't you brought Wanqi home for so many years? Don't tell me what I did. Before you went to Chujiang, your attitude was much better than mine. Aren't you just as resistant?"
"
Xu Lian smiled and said: "Okay, as long as I don't resist now! I told Wanqi that no matter what happens during the New Year this year, he must bring Xiao Chen back. He must let the old man see it, and also let the uncles and brothers at home see it.
Let's see, he and Wanqi are also quite eldest.
Establishing a relationship as early as possible is beneficial to both their careers, especially for Xiao Chen. As a politician, now is the time to solve personal problems!"
Fang Lujian said nothing, holding a cup of tea and drinking it silently.
The heat outside was unstoppable, but it was very cool inside the house. Fang Lujian sat for a while, then stood up and walked to the window to watch the gardeners working outside.
Zhu Si was taking care of the pot of orchids. He had already called a few assistants over. Everyone was cautious and extremely cautious. Several people were shouting loudly in the yard.
Fang Lujian looked at it for a while, then suddenly turned to Xu Lian and said:
"Just now Zhu Si told me that this pot of orchid can be cultivated in three plants, each of which is a rare and exquisite exotic herb. I was thinking, I will send one of these three plants to the old man, and the other one to the old man.
Third child, what do you think?"
Xu Lian rolled her eyes at him and said: "You look so beautiful. My son-in-law gave you a gift, and you couldn't wait to give it away. I think you are showing off! You also said that I was drunk, and you yourself were too
She's not much stronger, she's very tough on words, but I don't know why I love Xiao Chen in my heart!"
Fang Lujian coughed awkwardly and snorted: "Nonsense..."
In the middle of his words, he stopped abruptly and suddenly shouted out the window: "Oh, be careful, be careful! Be especially careful when dividing the plants, don't get hurt. Wait a minute, I'll be out soon, Zhu Si, you
First, let someone prepare sterile soil. It must be the kind of soil that comes from Beishan..."
Fang Lujian shouted and ran quickly to change his shoes. Regardless of the unbearable heat outside, he rushed out again.
Xu Lian pursed her lips behind her back and said: "Looking at that arrogant look, Xiao Chen has long been interested in your weakness. A pot of orchids is sent over and you become like this. How can you repay it in the future?"
…
Chen Jing did not know that his pot of orchids was so valuable, nor did he know that his future father-in-law, who was far away in the capital, would have a great change in his opinion of him because of the pot of orchids.
He has been busy arranging the work in Hengzhou these two days, and is planning to personally lead the working group to Hengzhou on a certain day.
This time the working group is composed of the Cadre Supervision Division and the Cadre Division Two. The Cadre Division Two is led by Deputy Director Luo Chunlin, but the entire working group is in charge of Chen Jing. In terms of specific work, Luo Chunlin can arrange it, but in
Regarding the overall situation, Luo Chunlin must consult Chen Jing, who is the leader of the working group.
During this trip to Hengzhou, Chen Jing was ready for a protracted war. The time given by the provincial party committee was three months. When Chen Jing mobilized the working group internally, he requested that the set tasks must be completed within one and a half months.
Task.
Don’t go home until you complete the task, don’t let go until you understand the situation, put in all your efforts and make great efforts to solve the problem well and properly!
However, even though everything was prepared, Chen Jing's schedule was delayed again and again.
There was no way, as the work scope of the Supervisory Office expanded, many tasks were difficult to operate without Chen Jing. In terms of personnel relations, some units and individuals below knew that Chen Jing was leaving Chucheng, and all the things that had to be done were piled up.
.
There are also some people who are looking for connections, go through the back door, and get close to each other. Some people from the following cities and counties go to the provincial capital to give gifts and report. There is an endless stream of people of all kinds, and Chen Jing is very annoyed.
In the end, Chen Jing could only order Zhao Dalin to be fully responsible for the current work of the Supervisory Office. Except for communicating with him on important and key matters, he could directly sign and make decisions on everything else.
In addition, Chen Jing closed the door to thank the guests who came to give them gifts, and did not see anyone who came. He was determined to make people reject him.
However, it is difficult to save some people's face after all.
Chen Jing made all preparations and rushed to Hengzhou the next day. On the night when Meng Hu from the Lihe Forestry Bureau entered the provincial capital, he had to see Chen Jing. Chen Jing had no choice but to arrange a restaurant outside his home community.
, met with Meng Hu.
When they met Chen Jing, they realized that Meng Hu was here for something.
Lihe will soon hold a public election for deputy county magistrate. This public election is sponsored by the Organization Department of Degao City. The selected cadres will serve in Lihe as county standing committee members, standing committee members and deputy county magistrates. This news has been announced. In Beisan County
The area has exploded.
Meng Hu was also eyeing the deputy county magistrate with great ambition.
In the past two years, the Menghuqian Forestry Bureau has become popular in Lihe, especially in terms of forestry support for economic construction. Menghu has found several ways to get rich through several forestry development projects, and its reputation in Lihe has greatly increased.
This time, he was very excited about the public election of deputy county magistrate... (To be continued)
