Gou Sigang was quite emotional, looking at the little girl who had followed his ass and ran barefoot became the deputy mayor, and then thinking about his past over the years, Da Gangzi felt that his current life was like a world away.

Qiao Xiaoqiao looked at his cousin, and he also felt as if he was in a dream, and the kind of surprise when he was the deputy mayor was relatively dim compared to now. This is her only relative in this world other than her parents, and her vague impression as a child is getting clearer and clearer, and finally she successfully focuses in her mind and becomes the image in front of her that is so clear that it can't be clearer.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's tears couldn't help flowing, for the reunion that she had never imagined, for the family affection that had not been seen for a long time, but it was so strong that it could not be dissolved, and for the grievances that she had accumulated for many years but could not be revealed, after determining the relatives in front of her, she found a reason and outlet to rush.

"Jojo, why are you still crying. You remember your cousin, and your uncle is okay. "There is a saying in the north, called aunt and cousin, kiss and kiss, break bones and tendons. Qiao Xiaoqiao's every tear knocked on the tip of his cousin's heart, shocking and distressing, how could he not, the girl in front of him was his only relative in this world, the girl who used to be coquettish in his arms and had a runny nose on her back, like a sister, like a daughter, when he was a teenager, he didn't feel it, but now when he recalls it, he has mixed feelings and sorrow.

Looking at his helpless cousin, Qiao Xiaoqiao, who had finished venting his emotions, suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, snorted, and burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, cousin, you're back. "Deputy Mayor Qiao usually looks like he is invincible, who would have thought that he could see Deputy Mayor Qiao crying with his own eyes, all the people in the room were a little stunned, even Chen Jinnan didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to look at Xia Weiren helplessly, spread his hands, and kept quiet. Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao speak at this time, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly lively, Qiao Xiaoqiao's laughter was like a spring breeze, and the ice and snow on the earth melted in an instant. At any time, don't underestimate the influence of beauties, if it was Da Gangzi crying, it is estimated that Liu Yalong would have kicked him out of the door a long time ago.

"Haha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Mayor Qiao and Si Gang are relatives, so let's talk about it, we're also relatives, aren't we, brothers?" Gou Chunxiao, as the owner here, must shoulder the responsibility of adjusting the atmosphere and taking care of the guests.

"Yes, Xiao Qiao, this is my canned brother, no, no, no, it's pure filial piety. "Da Gangzi is calmer than Qiao Xiaoqiao on the surface, but in fact, he is also incoherent with excitement.

Everyone laughed at Da Gangzi's words, and none of these people knew that Gou Chunxiao, who was usually unsmiling, still had such a nickname.

"Principal Gou, then I will also climb high, and I will call you big brother in the future. Qiao Xiaoqiao saw Gou Chunxiao's embarrassment and came out to relieve the siege.

"Haha, then I don't dare, Mayor Qiao, you just call me Lao Gou, come, everyone sit, everyone sit. "What should be introduced, all introduced, should recognize the relatives are also recognized, a table of sumptuous peasant dishes has been served, although the appearance is not so sultry, but the fresh out of the pot with its own aroma, will be everyone's gluttony are seduced, in the hook pure filial piety beckoning, everyone sat around the table.

Naturally, Qiao Xiaoqiao sat next to Gou Sigang, and soon found the feeling of being a relative, and took very good care of Da Gangzi.

"Director Xia, Boss Liu, Boss Huang, and the Sigang brothers, all the brothers here, today was supposed to be Principal Gou to invite the brothers to dinner, I and Director Xia, I also came to eat, but when I saw so many friends, I couldn't help but want to take the lead, through the Principal Gou's wine, I would like to toast everyone, thank Director Xia for his attention and support to the education cause of Chuhongwan Town over the years, thank Boss Liu and Boss Huang for their dedication to the town's education, and also welcome the Sigang brothers home. Actually, as the mayor of Flood Bay Town, it was most appropriate for him to mention this first glass of wine, but he didn't know much about the situation, thinking that Gou Sigang just came back to recognize his relatives, so he didn't mention Gou Sigang in his thanks.

Xia Weiren also knew that Chen Jinnan didn't mean to, but he deliberately touched the wine glass with Gou Sigang, and cleared his throat after putting down the wine glass, everyone knew that Director Xia had something to say. The chopsticks were all stopped, especially Gou Chunxiao, who showed that he was ready to listen to the opinions from a high position, and made a state of listening attentively, so he almost took out the small book in his bag and took notes word by word.

"I don't want to delay everyone's meal, I also know that everyone is hungry, but I must add the information that Mayor Chen missed, Gou Sigang boss, this time not only for the town of Flood Bay, but also for the entire North Bay District primary and secondary school libraries, as well as sports facilities, donated sufficient funds to improve the school environment of primary and secondary schools, this point, as the person in charge of the North Bay District Education Bureau, I also borrow Gou Principal's wine, toast three glasses, thank you for your selfless dedication to the cause of education in your hometown. After Xia Weiren finished speaking, he stood up and clinked glasses with Liu Yalong, Huang Dong and Da Gangzi, and then drank it all.

When Chen Jinnan heard this, it turned out that Gou Sigang was also here to donate, blaming himself for not understanding the situation, he was a little abrupt, and quickly got up and said, "Brother Sigang, I will call you a brother if I climb so high." ”

Da Gangzi hurriedly got up, "Mayor Chen, you are polite, you are trying to torment me." ”

"No, no, brother, you sit. Chen Jinnan asked Gou Sigang to sit down and continued, "You are the person who went out of our Chuhongwan Town, you come back, we are doing the brotherhood ceremony, and you have contributed to the education of your hometown, you come back, we should be the honored guest, just now the brother was abrupt, I will respect you alone." Chen Jinnan raised his glass.

Gou Sigang hurriedly got up again, picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink with Chen Jinnan, but at this time, Qiao Xiaoqiao said to Chen Jinnan, "Mayor Town, everyone has an empty stomach, and they have drunk several glasses, do you want to get everyone drunk." On the surface, this sentence is to blame Chen Jinnan, but in fact, it is also to help Chen Jinnan alleviate the embarrassment just now, everyone laughed, the atmosphere was more harmonious, Gou Sigang and Chen Jinnan still had this cup together.

"Don't drink, don't drink, eat first. Chen Jinnan put down his cup and beckoned everyone to eat first.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's heart was very comfortable, listening to the conversation of others just now, it seemed that his cousin was still a big boss and had donated a lot of money to the North Bay District. It's not that Qiao Xiaoqiao dislikes the poor and loves the rich, it's just that when I saw my relatives at first glance and heard that he was living a healthy and prosperous life, I was naturally happy for him.

The cold wind outside the window is still there, the table is happy, because it is a working day, no one drinks more, no one fights for wine, the farmer's dishes of Gou's family are authentic, and the craftsmanship of Gou's filial piety is also unique, this meal, everyone is full of praise.

"Qiaoqiao, is your uncle okay?" Everything that should be said on the table was said, and the rest was to pull the family routine, Gou Sigang asked his cousin again.

"It's not bad, but now the factory is not doing well, and I retired early, so it's nothing. Qiao Xiaoqiao replied in a low voice, his eyes looked at his cousin's face from time to time, and saw that his cousin did have a calm and relaxed temperament, and he could see the superiority of life.

If Qiao Xiaoqiao had seen his cousin in the Beihua era, he would definitely scoff at him, even if he kissed him, he would not recognize such a "scum", Gou Sigang at that time, relying on women and gambling to anesthetize himself and find self-confidence. Fortunately, he lived again, and the current Gou Sigang is really like two people compared to the previous one.

"Do you have time? Can you take me back to see my uncle? "Gou Sigang decided not to go back to Mongolia Province first, take a few days to see his uncle, he has been to Hui'an once over the years, but his impression of Hui'an, is no longer what it used to be, the changes can be described as earth-shaking, it is no longer what it used to be, he is not familiar with life, basically just collided, and did not find his uncle's residence.

"Come on the weekend, we'll go back when I'm on vacation, my dad must be happy to death. Qiao Xiaoqiao's smile is very sweet, in Gou Sigang's eyes, it is as sweet as when he was a child.

"Mayor Qiao, don't wait for the weekend, I'll give you a few days off, Yu Gong, the Sigang brothers have contributed to their hometown, you entertain on behalf of the town, Yu Private, you haven't seen each other for so many years, you should also go home to see." Chen Jinnan, who was sitting next to Qiao Xiaoqiao, heard the conversation between the two and happily decided to give Qiao Xiaoqiao a few days off.

Gou Sigang hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen made me embarrassed for saying this, I should do something for my hometown, besides, my dedication is nothing compared to Brother Long and Brother Huangdong, Mayor Chen really lifted me." I toast Mayor Chen. "Gou Sigang behaved very modestly, speaking on all sides and exquisitely on all sides. Liu Yalong smiled at his performance and scolded in his heart, "Is this really the big gang?"

After dinner, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, the three cars from Beihua City, all ready to return, when they came together, when they left, Huang Dong's car, with Liu Yalong and Da Gangzi, wanted to go back to the residence with Qiao Xiaoqiao to get some things, and then go back to Beihua to pick up the car, and go back to Hui'an together tomorrow.

Huang Lin's car and Xia Weiren's car were originally all the way, but Huang Lin's character, driving is more fierce, and after a while, Xia Weiren's car was thrown away from him, Xia Weiren's driver glanced enviously at the tail lights that the BMW was about to disappear, and lowered the speed of the car to ensure that the vehicle drove smoothly to ensure that the leader was in the back seat and slept comfortably.

Huang Dong's car, the last one drove out of the town of Chuhongwan, the car was full of rural specialties, frozen tofu, stupid pork, domestic chickens, sticky bean buns, many, many, this is all prepared by Gou Chunxiao for the three people, in fact, it is mainly prepared for Gou Sigang.

There was an extra beautiful lady in the car, and the atmosphere was a little dull, and the three men couldn't talk about some useless things and make some meat jokes like when they came. Huang Dong didn't drink, he drove seriously, Liu Yalong leaned on the back of the seat, thinking about the changes in Da Gangzi, and always felt a little incredible.

In the back row, the brother and sister each talked about what had happened to them over the years, of course, Da Gangzi did not mention the experience of Beihua, only said that he was doing business in Mongolia Province now. And Qiao Xiaoqiao, no matter how big or small, from school to graduation, got out of the police system, to how to hang this paragraph, he and Gou Sigang made it clear.

Huang Dong and Liu Yalong also listened to Qiao Xiaoqiao's self-complaint, not because they were impolite and eavesdropping, because Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't want to carry them behind their backs at all, Gou Sigang told her before getting in the car, they were all their best brothers in the car, and it was easy to speak, so Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't hide anything.

After listening to Qiao Xiaoqiao's self-description, Huang Dong glanced at Qiao Xiaoqiao from the rearview mirror, the beauty was comparable to Sun Bing, and he couldn't help but ask, "Mayor Qiao." ”

"It's called Little Joe. Qiao Xiaoqiao immediately interrupted when she heard Huang Dong call her Mayor Qiao.

"Okay, Xiao Qiao, I don't understand something, you were assigned to the flood bay at the beginning, why didn't you go back to the city or district in the end, and stayed in the flood bay?"

This sentence was asked to the point, Liu Yalong and Gou Sigang didn't realize it, Qiao Xiaoqiao's heart moved, there were some things, she was not easy to say, and she didn't want to lie, she hesitated for a moment, looked at her cousin, that means, "Do you want me to say?"

Gou Sigang didn't think too much about it, and he also wanted to know what was going on, so he chased after it, "That's right, Xiao Qiao, why didn't you go back to the district, do you want to find someone to help you transfer?"

Huang Dong saw Qiao Xiaoqiao's performance from the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiao, we are just chatting, if we don't do it, there is no need to talk about it." ”

As soon as Huang Dong said this, Qiao Xiaoqiao was embarrassed to hesitate any longer, "Actually, it's nothing, I told you just now, I helped Sister Peng Jiahui, so Secretary Peng took good care of me, and asked me if I was going to be transferred back to the district, I said at the time that I would listen to the organization's arrangement." ”

"Secretary Peng also revealed to me a piece of information, the city and the district will develop the tourism resources of the town in recent years, if you stay here, there will still be a lot to do, especially if you ......"

Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't go on, but several people understood that it would be better if he became the mayor of Flood Bay Town.

"Well, I think Floodwater Bay should be developed as well, and it's really good here. "Liu Yalong is a native of Beiwan, he has been to Flood Bay before, and he has a good impression of this place. From a bystander's point of view, he felt that the flood bay was better than many well-known scenic spots.

Huang Dong is not a bystander, he got the most important information from Qiao Xiaoqiao's words, the government has a development plan for Flood Bay Town, maybe because of funds, maybe because of something else, it hasn't moved yet, he doesn't have much idea about this place at the moment, because it is impossible for his ability to participate at all, but Cong Deyuan and Cong Shanshan should be interested here.

"Is there a time set for development?" asked Huang Dong.

"I didn't say that, but it seems that I decided to focus on tourism. Specifically, the leader will not tell me much, telling me these things is also so that I can think about the future direction of my work. Moreover, there have been rumors recently that Secretary Peng is likely to be transferred to work in the city, and it is estimated that if this matter is promoted by the city, it should not be too far away. ”

The vehicle drove into Beihua City and plunged directly into the underground parking lot of the five-star hotel Sheraton.

Qiao Xiaoqiao asked her cousin, "Brother, do you live here?"

"No, but it's not far from here!" Gou Sigang probably understood Huang Dong's intentions in his heart, and before Huang Dong made it clear, he didn't speak, parked the car, and Huang Dong said to Da Gangzi, "Brother Gang, when I came out, I asked Xiao Ying to help me book a room here, and I will arrange for Xiao Qiao to live here today, okay?"

Before Gou Sigang could answer, Qiao Xiaoqiao immediately objected, "No, no, no, I just book a fashionable hotel, and I don't need to live here." ”

Liu Yalong also saw what Huang Dong meant, and also said to Qiao Xiaoqiao, "Xiao Qiao, don't refuse, Huang Dong is decided, so be it." ”

"Not really. Qiao Xiaoqiao's current income is not high, she knows Sheraton's consumption standard, one night is almost enough for her half a month's salary, if it is Gou Si just set, she may still accept it, but she is not so familiar with Huang Dong, I am really embarrassed to let people spend money to stay in such a good hotel.

"Okay, Xiao Qiao, let's live here, I'll open another room, I'll live here at night, and Brother Long and Huang Dong, you're welcome, they're all your own people." "Gou Sigang is sincere in wanting to befriend Liu Yalong and Huang Dong, and he doesn't care about this money.

"Okay, then thank you, Mr. Huang. ”

"It's called Huang Dong. Huang Dong also corrected Qiao Xiaoqiao's name.

"Brother Gang, don't bother, your room is also booked, when you arrive in Beihua, I am the landlord, just listen to my arrangement." Walk up to check in. "Huang Dong has indeed ordered two rooms, and he will not let Qiao Xiaoqiao live here by himself.

"Haha, okay, I'll listen to the arrangement. ”

A few people went up to check in, and Gou Sigang called the driver to tell him that he would not go back tonight and would pick him up at Sheraton tomorrow morning.

"Brother Gang, Brother Long and I will go back first, and we will come back in the evening, let's have some more drinks. In Flood Bay, I didn't drink it, and I was a little hungry. Before leaving, Huang Dong and Gou Si had just made an appointment to pick them up for dinner at seven o'clock. In fact, Huang Dong was not gluttonous, but wanted to learn more about the development of Kouhongwan Town with Qiao Xiaoqiao, and he felt that Cong Deyuan should be interested in this matter. If Cong Deyuan can intervene in the development, then he and Liu Yalong's company will also come to business.

Gou Sigang was fine anyway, so he agreed, saying that he would arrange it in the evening.

When Huang Dong's BMW drove out of the parking lot, Liu Yalong asked curiously, "What, are you really hungry?"

"Uncle Erlong, I think this is an opportunity, if the town of Flood Bay is really going to be developed in the past two years, if Uncle Cong is willing, with his strength, he will definitely be able to participate, then we also have work to do." ”

As soon as Liu Yalong heard that Huang Dong had such an idea, he suddenly realized, "You're right, if this news is true, then we should really find a way to get involved, or give Brother De a call to communicate?"

Huang Dong thought about it for a while, "It's okay, then you can call and tell me about the situation and see what Uncle Cong thinks." ”

When Cong Deyuan heard the news, he didn't show the slightest surprise, "You both know the news, it seems that the matter of developing the flood bay is basically decided." In fact, Cong Deyuan knew about the news for a long time, but before it was implemented, he didn't say much, and he was also considering whether to get involved in the development of the flood bay. Because the government wants to develop, it must attract investment, and will not pay for construction out of its own pocket, so such a project will have a large investment and slow results, and it is a long-term project. He was not very interested.

Huang Dong listened to Cong Deyuan's analysis of the project, and only then did he understand the truth, and he also knew that Cong Deyuan's interest was not high, so he said to Cong Deyuan, "Uncle Cong, I have heard about this project, I will consult you, it seems that this project is not suitable for us." ”

"Haha. Cong Deyuan knew that Huang Dong was now very concerned about the company's business, of course he was very pleased, and continued, "However, you can rest assured, the government will definitely invest in the construction of some facilities, I can take it down, and you will do it when the time comes." ”

When the two of them heard it, they might still have a job, so they were naturally happy.

"Also. Cong Deyuan continued, "Actually, there are still many things to do in Flood Bay Town, because of the ecological theme created there, the original ecological food, fruits and vegetables in Flood Bay Town will have a big market in the future, if you are interested, you can try to try, start now, and when it is developed in the future, it will also form a certain scale." This upfront investment is not too large, so you can try it. ”

Cong Deyuan's words, let Huang Dongmao suddenly open, come to the height of Cong Deyuan, much higher than the two of them, and look at things at a deeper level.

"Understood, Uncle Cong, then let's think about it. After speaking, the two of them briefly told Cong Deyuan about the school and hung up the phone.
