Chapter 70: Confession

After negotiating the donation, Xia Weiren was in a good mood, he took the opportunity to report his work in the name of telling Song Jiacheng the good news for the first time, Song Jiacheng was also very happy, with the help of these people, what he wanted to do, he could really achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The happy morning is fleeting, the time has passed 12 noon, Gou Chunxiao asked Xia Weiren, "Leader, it's already noon, let's eat in the town today, although there is nothing to eat, but get some local chicken and stupid pork, stew in a big pot, it's also quite delicious." ”

Xia Weiren was worried about whether eating here would make Liu Yalong and others feel that they were being treated slowly, so he asked Liu Yalong, "Mr. Liu, why don't we go back to the city to eat, the conditions here are much worse than those in the city." ”

"Haha, Xia Ju, another purpose of our coming today is to come here to eat farmhouse food, we don't want to leave, just eat here, just find a random one." ”

"Yes, yes, just find one, I haven't eaten here for many years, and now I'm a little hungry. Da Gangzi also said that he ate in the town of Flood Bay today.

"Nonsense, when you get to the door of the house, how can there be any reason to go out to eat, I have already told your sister-in-law, prepare at home, go to my house, brother, you can also meet your sister-in-law. Gou Chunxiao glared at Da Gangzi and took out his brother's style, but said with great warmth.

"Brother?" Xia Weiren came late, and he didn't know the relationship between this Mr. Gou and Gou Chunxiao.

"Yes, Xia Ju, Brother Chunxiao is the elder brother who grew up with me. Da Gangzi explained to Xia Weiren.

"Haha, pure filial piety, then you are entertaining brothers today, and we will borrow the light to have a meal. Xia Weiren felt that since he had the relationship with Gou Sigang, it was natural to have a meal at Gou Chunxiao's house. So, everyone got in the car under the leadership of Gou Chunxiao, slowly drove towards his house, Gou Chunxiao insisted on not taking the car, and rode his own small electric car to lead the way on the street, he just wanted others to see, so many bosses and leaders are going to his house for dinner, if you hide in the car, who will know the people on the street.

On the main street of Flood Bay Town, there was such a scene, a second-hand electric car, slowly moving, followed by three cars, two of which are brand-new BMWs, the owner of the electric car saw someone on the street, and took the initiative to get out of the car to say hello. The speed of the car was slow to turtle speed, even Xia Weiren could see that Gou Chunxiao was deliberately showing off, shook his head with a wry smile, and did not stop it, things went so smoothly, Xia Weiren was also happy in his heart, so let Gou Chunxiao go, tell the driver to drive carefully, and follow slowly.

Principal Gou was originally a celebrity in the town, almost everyone knew him, and he had to say hello when he saw it, but he didn't think that Principal Gou, who usually had a serious face, was very kind today, and got off the electric car to greet everyone.

"It's all good, it's all good, right, there are leaders in this district, and Sigang has just come back to donate money to us to build a school, I'll take them home for some food." ”

Principal Gou is like Xianglin's sister-in-law, this sentence is repeated over and over again, every person says, such a delay, five minutes of the road, driving stunned for almost half an hour, and when he arrived at his door, Principal Gou did not forget to shout, "Daughter-in-law, is the meal ready, the district leaders and Sigang have arrived home." ”

Huang Dong looked at Gou Chunxiao's performance and remembered his father, this generation, they all like to "show off" like this.

Gou Chunxiao's home is a small courtyard, with five main rooms and two side rooms in the courtyard. Gou Chunxiao led everyone to drive the car into the courtyard, because there was nothing in the courtyard in winter, and Zheng Hao was empty as a parking lot.

Huang Dong and Huang Lin are still guests in this kind of northeast bungalow for the first time, and they feel very fresh, especially the fire kang in the north is hot, and it is very comfortable to lie down, and Gou Chunxiao's daughter-in-law is as enthusiastic as Gou Chunxiao, and she is cooking in the kitchen of the wing room with a few neighbors who came to help.

"In the countryside, there is nothing delicious to eat, but they are all home-made, original, and you are welcome. Gou Chunxiao beckoned everyone to come into the house and sit down, went to Xia Weiren's face, and whispered a few words, Xia Weiren did not shy away from it, and replied loudly, "Principal Gou, you have a treat today, as for who to invite, you decide, I am here to eat." Gou Chunxiao heard that Director Xia did not object to his proposal, so he happily walked out of the house and went to the yard to make a call.

Actually, it's not a big deal, Gou Chunxiao just asked Xia Weiren, do you want to invite the mayor and the deputy mayor in charge of education to come over, he thinks that whether it is Xia Weiren or Huang Dong, Liu Yalong or Gou Sigang, both have an identity, eat at his house, always find two people of sufficient level to accompany him, in the town of Kouhongwan, who is enough, of course, the two family members in the town, the secretary has been hospitalized and has not gone to work because of his poor health, only the mayor is at home, but he is afraid that he will be unhappy to invite the mayor, Xia Weiren will be unhappy, so he asked for instructions.

Chen Jinnan, mayor of Chuhongwan Town. There is a cloud in Jin Daxia's novel: I don't know Chen Jinnan in my life, and it is in vain to call myself a hero. That's right, this Chen Jinnan and the other Chen Jinnan have exactly the same name. It's just that this Chen is close to South Africa, Chen is near the south, and he has been immersed in officialdom for more than 20 years, and he always feels depressed, in his 40s, he has been in the position of the mayor for more than ten years.

There are not many things to do in the town of Chuhongwan, and Chen Jinnan is usually not very busy, but today, Chen Jinnan is very busy, and the women's directors of several villages seem to have made an appointment, and they all come to him to complain, and the deputy mayor in charge of planning business said, "He can't hold this group of old ladies, go to the mayor." So, the women directors came to him. He chattered silently all morning, saying that he had a headache, and he had seen noon, but he didn't mean to disperse. Originally, it was all a matter of nonsense, and it was difficult for the mayor to decide.

Chen Jinnan's phone is a copycat machine, the ringtone is scary, and when the phone rings, it is better than him, the mayor, and the room is quiet in an instant. Chen Jinnan took out the phone from his pocket, and the ringtone was an octave higher, Chen Jinnan saw that the phone was called by Gou Chunxiao, and couldn't help frowning. It's annoying enough today, is this group of people making an appointment, what kind of good day is today, they all come to him for trouble, this Gou Chunxiao has been talking to him about the expansion of the central school and the renovation of the central school, but he is a town mayor, and he is not the God of Wealth, where can he go to make money?

The women's directors in the room saw Chen Jinnan looking at the phone in a daze, and had no intention of connecting, and began to complain and complain again, all kinds of difficulties, Chen Jinnan heard it in his ears, like a bee burrowing into his ears, buzzing uncomfortably, but he really couldn't help it. After some ideological struggle, Chen Jinnan decided to answer Gou Chunxiao's call, anyway, he was annoyed, annoyed by a group of people, it was better to be annoyed by one person, how did that sentence come to this, everyone is annoyed and alone, who is annoyed?

Chen Jinnan coughed, made a downward motion with his left hand to silence everyone, and put the golden brick phone to his ear with his right hand.

"Well, I'm Chen Jinnan. This is the fixed phrase used by Chen Jinnan when he receives a call from his subordinates.

"Mayor Town, are you in town?" Gou Chunxiao and Chen Jinnan have a good relationship, and they speak casually.

Chen Jinnan pretended to lower his voice, "Principal Gou, I'm in a meeting, if there's anything, I'll talk about it later." While talking to Gou Chunxiao in an official tone, he walked out, he was going to escape from the office with Gou Chunxiao's phone call.

"Mayor Town, I can't talk about it later, important things must be reported now!" Gou Chunxiao is half-true and half-true, Gou Si just came back today, the school donation was implemented, and Xia Weiren came in person, it was a happy moment for him, and the tone of his natural voice was much higher than usual. Chen Jinnan also heard that Gou Chunxiao was in a good mood, and it was estimated that he couldn't talk to him about money today, and his tone was much more accommodating than just now. "Pure filial piety, what's the matter, you say. ”

"Mayor Chen, I would like to report to you two things, one is that the funds for the expansion and renovation of our school have been basically implemented, and the donors are all there, and the other is that Director Xia, who went to the Education Bureau, is also here. Gou Chunxiao spoke slowly and logically, and Chen Jinnan listened with joy. Not only did he not care about him asking for money, but he also told him that someone else had sent money, not to mention, Director Xia in the district was much cuter than the group of girls in the office.

"Great, Principal Gou, where are you now? You don't need to prepare food in the town, please invite the Xia Bureau and guests to come to the town to eat. Chen Jinnan's excitement is not pretended, as long as someone invests money in the town of Kouhongwan, no matter what industry it is, as long as the policy allows, he welcomes, welcomes, warmly welcomes.

"Then don't bother the town, one of the entrepreneurs who donated money is my brother, and they all came to my house to eat, and Director Xia asked me to invite you over. After showing off his brother, Gou Chunxiao added another sentence to himself, Xia Weiren never said that he wanted to invite Chen Jinnan over, but just said that he would not interfere with Gou Chunxiao's invitation, Gou Chunxiao said this, he was sticking gold on Mayor Chen's face, and he was also pasting gold on his face.

"Okay, okay, I'll call Mayor Shangqiao with you, and I'll be there soon. After Chen Jinnan finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but pretended not to hang up the phone, deliberately walked back to the office, and shouted loudly, "What, Director Xia is here, and he also brought investors, okay, okay, I'll come right away." After that, he put the phone in his pocket and said to the women's directors of several villages, "Okay, the district has a leader, let me hurry over, and you should go to Mayor Wang to talk about your matter, that is, let him solve what I said." After that, he picked up his bag and walked out.

The women directors of these villages vaguely heard that the director was coming, how did they know what bureau Director Xia was, not to mention, for these rural people, those who could be called directors were all big officials. Therefore, he didn't dare to say anything more, and watched Chen Jinnan leave the office in a hurry.

Chen Jinnan's appearance is a typical northern man, with big ears and a tiger's back, when he appeared at Gou Chunxiao's house, only Gou Chunxiao's eyes stayed on his face for the first time, and others, including Xia Weiren, all fell on the girl in a white down jacket behind Chen Jinnan.

said that it is a girl, in fact, the age is not young, everyone in Floodway Town knows that Qiao Xiaoqiao is Floodwan Town, no, it should be Beiwan District, or small, it should be a flower of the Beihua Municipal Government, because in the eyes of the people of Floodbay Town, they have never seen such a beautiful beauty, and this beauty has a heroic deeds that are widely spread.

Qiao Xiaoqiao is 28 years old this year, but whether it is skin or clothing, she looks like a little girl in her early 20s, there are many villages in Flood Bay Town, not as clean as in the city, except for Qiao Xiaoqiao, no one will wear a white down jacket in winter, with a white sweater inside, in this town, as long as you see a girl like a snowflake floating over, it must be Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Qiao Xiaoqiao is a native of Hui'an, graduated from the Public Security University, jumped out of the public security system by mistake, and was admitted to the civil service system of Beihua City. The heroism between the eyebrows, coupled with her tall posture, can attract the attention of most men on any occasion, and the reason why Gou Chunxiao didn't look at her was because the mayor was there, and because his wife was there.

"Director Xia, we are looking forward to it during the day and at night, and finally we are looking forward to Director Xia. "Chen Jinnan is good, Xia Weiren is an acquaintance, and when they meet, make a joke to get closer.

"I'm afraid that what you, Mayor Chen, is looking forward to is not me, but the God of Wealth, I brought you the God of Wealth today, so I came to see you. Xia Weiren introduced Chen Jinnan to the people present one by one, Da Gangzi went out to the toilet before Chen Jinnan came in, so Chen Jinnan opened his big hand, grinned, shook hands vigorously, and laughed vigorously, and Huang Dong, Liu Yalong, Huang Lin and others were close to each other. In front of these people, he didn't dare to hold it up, in case his attitude was not good, and these people withdrew their donations, it would be strange if the parents of the students of the Central Primary School in Chuhongwan Town did not push to the door of his house.

Chen Jinnan was busy shaking hands with everyone and handing out cigarettes to everyone, but he ignored Qiao Xiaoqiao, the deputy mayor behind him, Qiao Xiaoqiao had no choice, first greeted Xia Weiren, and then introduced himself to these people one by one, which made Chen Jinnan remember, there was still a person behind him, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm happy to patronize, I forgot to introduce, this is the deputy mayor of our town, Comrade Qiao Xiaoqiao." ”

Although Qiao Xiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he definitely couldn't show it on the surface, I heard that Chen Jinnan was okay a few years ago, he had a rush to do work, and he wanted to go up, but after a few opportunities he didn't grasp it, he gave up a little now, he was not energetic every day, he was active at work, he pushed if he could, he retreated if he could, and many things were forced to the deputy mayor, like today, he called himself here, and he forgot about himself when he got to the place, so that others could see it, as if Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't recruit the mayor to see him, didn't this also make others look down on him.

"I didn't expect there to be such a young mayor in Flood Bay Town?" Huang Dong didn't know how old Qiao Xiaoqiao was, but he would definitely not boast about the girl's youth, "It seems that the age is younger than us." ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao used to hate flamboyant men the most, but after being the deputy mayor for two years, he has become much more sleek, "Haha, women want to be younger, but I'm almost 30, when you're a sister, it should be okay." ”

Since the mayor doesn't want to offend these people, he can't be guilty of choking people to talk.

At this time, Da Gangzi came in from the outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Chen Jinnan, Gou Chunxiao hurriedly pulled Da Gangzi over, "Fourth, this is the mayor of our town, Chen Jinnan, this Qiao Xiaoqiao, the deputy mayor, the two mayors, this is the brother of my old Gou family." When introducing Chen Jinnan, Da Gangzi shook hands politely and said hello. When Gou Chunxiao introduced Qiao Xiaoqiao, Qiao Xiaoqiao took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Da Gangzi, Da Gangzi's eyes were fixed on Qiao Xiaoqiao, holding other people's hands, but he didn't let go. Qiao Xiaoqiao was a little annoyed when she saw this, but with so many people, it was not easy to attack.

Liu Yalong was also shocked when he saw Da Gangzi's performance, and thought, isn't it an old mistake again, but he is the deputy mayor, and this kid is dead. Therefore, Liu Yalong coughed vigorously and reminded Da Gangzi to pay attention to his image, but Da Gangzi turned a deaf ear and still stared at Qiao Xiaoqiao, at this time, Mayor Qiao had an urge to give the man opposite him an over-the-shoulder fall.

"Mayor Joe isn't a local. It was Da Gangzi who realized his gaffe, and quickly let go of Qiao Xiaoqiao's hand and smiled apologetically.

"Well, it's not. Qiao Xiaoqiao replied coldly.

Everyone felt that Da Gangzi was boring for himself, and Gou Chunxiao also felt embarrassed, so he secretly stabbed Da Gangzi, but Da Gangzi was quite persistent, and planned to continue to talk about himself.

"Mayor Qiao is from Hui'an County, Feng Province, right?" Da Gangzi actually said Qiao Xiaoqiao's origin, and everyone looked at Da Gangzi and Qiao Xiaoqiao in surprise, not knowing if he was right, and not knowing how Da Gangzi knew.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was very surprised, and looked at Da Gangzi for a while, "You are also from Hui'an?"

"No, I'm a local. Although Qiao Xiaoqiao did not answer directly, her words had confirmed Da Gangzi's guess.

"I'm a local, my name is Gou Sigang, my mother is from Hui'an, and my name is Qiao Yindi. Da Gangzi confirmed Qiao Xiaoqiao's identity and continued.

"Auntie, are you the fourth brother? are you really the fourth brother?" Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't believe it, in front of him was the fourth cousin who had no news for many years, the son of the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt was lost many years ago because of bad spirits, and his father also asked people to inquire about Qiao Yindi's whereabouts, but there was no news, and the only remaining Gou Sigang in the family had no news later.

Father often sighs about this, how did a good family end up so miserably, Lao Qiao's family and Lao Gou's family have never done evil in their lives. Later, after a lot of years, things faded, when I came to this town, I asked people a few times, and no one knew the whereabouts of Gou Sigang, and later became the deputy mayor, and this matter was never mentioned again.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's father Qiao Ding Wang is 8 years younger than Qiao Yindi, the elders of the Qiao family have a deep-rooted patriarchal thinking, the first child is a girl, so he named it Yindi, hoping that the next child will be a boy, but Yindi's mother has not been pregnant with the second child due to poor health, although he is anxious, but the elders of the Qiao family can't help it, girls are girls, it's better than nothing.

But what I didn't expect was that after my brother went to elementary school, my brother's mother became pregnant again, and his father couldn't keep his mouth shut all day long, and after 8 years, he finally came to one, and it must be a boy. As a result, in the words of his father, "The daughter-in-law's belly is really angry, and she gave birth to a big fat boy." ”

Yindi's mother's stomach is very competitive, but the body is not so competitive, after giving birth to a boy, it has not recovered, but Yindi's father is obviously not satisfied with a son, and named the child Ding Wang, hoping that the future will be prosperous and have more sons. Moreover, I have been working hard, but my daughter-in-law's health is not good, and she has never been pregnant again.

Less is less, or that sentence, it's better than nothing. Qiao Yin's younger brothers and sisters are very good at studying, but in an ordinary family, it is impossible for two children to study, especially girls, so Qiao Yindi dropped out of school after finishing primary school and stayed at home to help the family work, and when he was 19 years old, he was introduced by people from the same village and married her to a town in Beihua City, and the man in the town was surnamed Gou, that is, Gou Sigang's father.

Later, Qiao Dingwang was admitted to a secondary school, and after graduation, he went to Hui'an County as a worker.

Qiao Dingwang grew up on his sister's back, of course he was good to his sister, after graduation, he often went to see his sister and brother-in-law, and then became a family, so he rarely went, and then later, his sister and brother-in-law's family had accidents one after another, and in the end, only the sister who was not in good spirits was left, and the only "four nephews", Qiao Dingwang was very good to this nephew, one is to return his sister's kindness to him, and the nephew who reciprocated it, in addition, it is really pitiful for this child, the family has suffered frequent accidents, and the child's heart must have suffered a lot of damage. Therefore, as soon as the child is on vacation, he will take the child to live in Hui'an for a few days.

For the memory of childhood, Qiao Xiaoqiao is very vague in other aspects, but the impression of this cousin is very deep, although Gou Sigang is her fourth cousin, but in Qiao Xiaoqiao's memory, it seems that he has never seen other cousins, this cousin came to her house to play when he was a child, and only at this time, the cousin took her out to run wildly, and her father would not care about her.
