Chapter 232: No Appearance
Xiao Yi asked people to drive a military truck, and sent the three old men, Chengcheng, his daughter-in-law, and his son, along with a pile of luggage and daily necessities, to Liu Ping, and returned to Yan's house by himself.
On the first day he returned, he regretted it.
There were suddenly so many fewer people in the family, especially the daughter-in-law and son, Xiao Yi was very unaccustomed to it, and he ate two bowls less rice. When I went back to the house, I sat alone until midnight, and I still didn't feel sleepy.
Usually accompanied by Su Yi and talking to him, he felt that even the air in the house was sweet.
As soon as the daughter-in-law left, it seemed that she had taken away his soul.
Xiao Yi couldn't sleep, so he simply turned on the light, took out letter paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Su Yi. I wrote a lot of words and confessed a lot.
He asked Su Yi to take care of himself and his children, not to drink cold water, not to wash his face and feet with cold water, and to remember to exercise every day to take care of his body.
also said that she was too tired to cook and laundry, clean, take care of the elderly and children by herself, and asked Su Yi to ask a young daughter-in-law to help in the township, and she could also ask Professor Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, Fei Lao and the old man to help, don't do everything by yourself.
He asked Su Yi to call him every other day, go back to the city every Friday to accompany him, and bring his son back to show him. If I miss him, I'll write him a letter and show it to him when I get home on the weekend. You don't need to write too often, just write once a week.
At the end of the letter, Xiao Yi bluntly expressed his thoughts about Su Yi. Here's what he wrote:
Daughter-in-law, when you leave, I feel that the house is very empty, the bed is cold, the food is not fragrant, and I can't sleep well, I always call you unconsciously, turn my head to look for you, and always feel that you are by my side.
I can't see you, I can't hear you, I don't answer, it's a terrible feeling. Come back soon! I'd love to see you soon.
Xiao Yi wrote the letter, put it in an envelope, filled in the address, affixed the stamp, and looked at the time, it was only two o'clock in the morning. He stuffed the letter in his heart, lay down on the bed for a few hours, and when it was light, he got up and went to the post office to send the letter.
After sending the letter, he bought a bunch of stamps and waited for them to be used later.
Coming out of the post office, Xiao Yi went to the canteen of the Ministry of Armed Forces to buy three buns, and took a bowl of porridge back to the office to eat. To his surprise, Su Yi called him in the Big Bend Village Commune.
"Brother Xiao, did you have breakfast?"
Xiao Yi's appetite came at once, he took a big bite of a third of the buns, and replied while chewing: "I'm eating." What about you?"
His voice was soft and smiling, and the expression on his face was very gentle, which could drown people, "How did you think of calling me?"
"That's it...... Missed you. The last three words, Su Yi said very quietly, and replied shyly.
Into Xiao Yi's ears, he seemed to hear the sound of a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and unconsciously began to smirk: "I miss you too." I didn't sleep much when you weren't there last night. Stayed up late to write you a letter and just went to the post office to send it. I guess in two or three days, you'll be able to receive it. β
"Are you still writing to me?!" Su Yi jumped on the spot.
Seeing this, Liu Yuanqing had goosebumps falling to the ground, he couldn't stand her, saw Su Yi give him a look, and made an excuse to take the other two colleagues out of the office.
As soon as they left, Su Yi immediately closed the door and whispered loudly into the microphone, "I'm so happy." Brother Xiao, what did you write in the letter? I want to know right away. β
She felt that she had regained the throbbing she had when she was in love with Xiao Yi, her heart was trembling, her blood was boiling, her heart seemed to be rolling on the keys of the piano, and there was a faint sound of music in her ears.
"Ahem, it's a bit too much, and I can't tell it for a while. When you receive the letter, go back to the house and read it yourself, so that no one else can see it. "I was hot-headed last night, and I wrote those words, and now that I think about it, I am blushing and my ears are hot.
Xiao Yi took a sip of porridge and said in his heart: That kind of letter, it is best that only he and Su Yi know. It's so embarrassing!
"Oh, I see. Last night, Dabao and Xiaobao didn't see you and cried. I guess you'll drive over and see us this weekend. The child misses his dad so much. β
"Hmm. Do you have anything you want? I bought it for you to bring here. β
"Not for now. I came back with a cart of things. It's good for you to come. Yuanqing, they're back, don't talk about it......"
"Wait, Xiao Su, remember to call me the day after tomorrow. β
"Hmm. β
Xiao Yi's cheeks flushed, he held back his shame, smacked twice into the microphone, and hung up the phone abruptly without waiting for Su Yi to respond.
Early in the morning, it was late autumn, and he still felt very hot, so he grabbed the file fan and fanned it.
After marrying Su Yi, he has changed a lot. Three years ago, he could never have imagined that one day he would think of a woman so distressed that he couldn't sleep, that he would write a love letter to her on the first night of separation, that he would tell her his intense love and longing on the phone, and that he would even kiss her on the microphone and imagine that he kissed her on the face and between his lips.
Vice Minister Xiao felt that he had a wife's illness and that the time was too difficult, so he took the initiative to find work to do, such as: training recruits, holding meetings everywhere, and giving speeches......
Hu Zhengming saw that Xiao Yi's work was abnormal and worked very hard, and even the ideological study meetings that he usually hated the most were attended every scene, and even made wonderful speeches at the meetings.
He observed Xiao Yi for half a month, was particularly satisfied with his performance, and decided to give him some advice.
On this day, Hu Zhengming called Xiao Yi to his office.
"Xiao Xiao, you have been very motivated to work recently, do you have that idea yourself?"
Hu Zhengming didn't wait for Xiao Yi's answer, and said to himself: "You little comrade is good in everything, with strong ability, high quality, progressive thinking, and a decent background. I'm optimistic about you. It's just that you have a shortcoming, you're too young. The above may be biased against you because of this. β
Xiao Yi did not answer Hu Zhengming's words directly, but asked him: "What ......are you saying to me about this?"
"You little fox, you still want to pretend to me! Recently, our armed forces department has been working too hard because of you, and those old fritters can't sit still. Ran in front of me and said a lot of gossip about you. β
"Let me ask you, what's going on with your big house? Didn't it say that you should be frugal and save resources. Can you live in such a big house as a family?"
"It's not just one of us, it's several. The house is too small to live in. We just added a few more rooms, using old bricks and tiles, and only made up some newly burned bricks. Xiao Su was still shabby. β
"Now that the main frame of the house is largely erected, in a few days, when the workers have covered the tiles, I invite you and your colleagues in the ministry to sit in the new house and have a meal to celebrate. Let everyone take a closer look, lest someone make a fuss about it, saying that I am lazy in enjoyment and extravagant and wasteful. β
Xiao Yizao had already agreed with Liu Dawei and a few bachelors to let them move in as well. After the people of the armed forces department visited the new house, they slowly decorated the house, painted the walls, laid bluestone slabs, and replaced the old furniture with new furniture......
Hu Zhengming smiled and took a sip of tea, "It's good that you have a spectrum in your heart." Your Xiao Su can make money, and he runs a restaurant and a farm, and many comrades in the ministry are envious and jealous of you. If you are able to improve yourself, don't forget to help others. Don't be stingy with the benefits that should be given. β
"There will be a change of ministers in our ministry, and there will be open elections, and the opinions of the masses are very important. To put it bluntly, the more benefits you can bring to others, the more you will be embraced, and the more you can sit in the chair I am sitting on. Got it?"
"Thank you, Minister, for your advice. Xiao Yi approached Hu Zhengming inch by inch and lit a good cigarette for him, "Minister, I'm young and inexperienced, you can mention me again." β
"You are young and energetic, full of momentum, and the younger comrades in our department are very supportive of you, especially the two or three batches of recruits who have recently been selected, and they simply regard you as the goal of life. In addition, I heard that the director of the provincial bureau is your own uncle, and the head of the provincial armed forces department is your senior brother in college? Don't ask me where I found out. Your kid has a very hard background, as long as you don't die as a demon, it's not easy for others to squeeze you out. β
"But you have two obvious weaknesses, one is that your age and qualifications are slightly insufficient compared with the other two deputy ministers in our ministry, and second, you have no connections in the investigation team and inspection team newly organized above. And the other two deputy ministers have. β
"Don't underestimate the investigation team and the inspection team, if they make a fuss about your background and surrounding investigations, even if you have the highest mass support rate, you will not be able to sit in the position of minister. Organizationally, the background of our public officials is now very strict. β
"Only when the background and surrounding relationships are completely innocent can there be development. This innocence, of course, is the most popular background of workers and peasants. You don't have either. β
"The most tricky thing is that your daughter-in-law's business is too big, and your brother Yan Er is blocking the way of many people in our city, and the two of them are a big obstacle to you. What kind of face are you blackening? Am I not telling the truth?"
Xiao Yi's expression was cold, but his voice was a little smug: "I don't think they are my obstacles. On the contrary, they are my help. β
"Oh, that's a new statement. Why do you say that?" Hu Zhengming sat up straight and stared at Xiao Yi.
"I don't know if you've heard of it? Xiao Su and Yan Er gave up half of their shares to the state early on, and now they are all management talents hired by the state, helping the state take care of restaurants, department stores and farms, and they are considered senior workers. After a while, Yan Er will give the shares of the department store in his hand, along with his eye-catching mansion, to the state completely free of charge......"
Hu Zhengming sprayed Xiao Yi with strong tea on his face, "You, you...... Tsk, you young people, you are really willing. "So much money, just send it, it's really bold.
Xiao Yi's face was gloomy, and he wiped his face clean with a handkerchief.
Hu Zhengming suddenly slapped him hard, "Whew, you kid, you have made so many preparations in private, and you have kept it a secret." I didn't even hear a word of the wind. Feelings, you kid has been eyeing me for a long time. β
"You're all sure of this, and you still ask me what my idea is? You must have laughed at me in your heart just now, right?!" Hu Zhengming knocked on Xiao Yi's head twice, his face bulging, and there was a faint smile in his voice and eyes.
"Nothing. You're thinking too much. β
Hu Zhengming touched his chin leisurely, "Yan Er and Xiao Su have sent so many benefits out, and the people in the investigation team and the inspection team want to make a fuss about your background and interpersonal relationships, and the organization will not approve it." β
"Those old foxes of the municipal party committee have told you to dredge up, how can they not stand on your side? They are the ones who will finally review your background and interpersonal relationship investigation report. Haha, Lao Feng and Lao Yin, the two old boys, are busy again this time. β
"I'm just waiting to see their expressions when you become a minister, it must be very exciting!" Hu Zhengming was in a good mood, Lao Feng and Lao Yin had blocked him a lot in the past, so he would rather let Xiao Yi become a minister than cheapen those two old guys.
However, this Xiao Yicheng Mansion is also deep, and he has quietly set up a game, obviously a yellow finch, and pretends to be a cicada to confuse others.
He watched Lao Feng and Lao Yin jump up and down for a while, and he was afraid that he would die of laughter in his heart.
Those two and a half old guys with a pot of water, where are his opponents?
He still thought that this kid was a dull and solid eye who could only do things, and he sweated for him.
Those hearts are all in vain.
Thinking of this, Hu Zhengming's heart was in a hurry, he glanced at Xiao Yi obliquely, raised his foot and kicked him: "Dead boy, get out of here! β
"What I just said to you, please keep it a secret for me. Now that the matter has not been resolved, I don't want to make a noise. If it doesn't work out in the end, it will be a shame. β
"Hmph, even if our entire armed forces department loses face, it won't be your turn to lose face. Okay, when you become the minister, you have to treat me to a good meal. β
"Definitely. β
Su Yi and the audience in the live broadcast room, through the upgraded vision mode, saw the confrontation between Xiao Yi and Hu Zhengming, and they were all impressed.
Su Yi was particularly proud to post a barrage in the live broadcast room: 'Is my man particularly handsome, particularly smart, particularly prescient?! β
Yi in my heart: "Big, Brother Xiao is so insidious, aren't you afraid that he will calculate that there are no bones left in the future?" I didn't expect that the serious, old-fashioned and upright Xiao Gong'an was such a guy with a black belly. This world is so fantastic. β
Su Yi: "What is insidious, this is called wisdom! We use our brains and hands, complement each other, how perfect! He will not calculate me." We were on the phone just now, and he ......
Wild Meat: "Please stop showing off the anchor!" The whole interstellar world knows that your husband and wife are affectionate and slimy. It's a pity that Brother Xiao is such a superb product, and he was arched by the anchor's pig. β
Su Yi: 'Hehe, jealousy makes you ugly. β
The hacker is back: 'The anchor is a good man. I just gave her a perfect score under this subtask. Originally, I had watched the history of China, and I knew that there would be a storm here soon, and all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods would haunt me, and I was afraid that Vice Minister Xiao would not be able to protect the stupid and cute anchor. Don't worry about it now. @δΈ»ζ, you'd better pray that Vice Minister Xiao will not change his mind for the rest of his life, otherwise you will definitely end up bleak. β
Su Yi: 'Thank you for your concern. We're fine. He's certainly not going to change his mind. If it really changes, kick him and find another lover or live by himself. She's not the kind of person who hangs herself from a tree.
Yida is the most handsome: 'Brother Xiao is really unseemly!' Wait to see him take the anchor to the pinnacle of Chinese officialdom. Our big treasure and small treasure and Chengcheng baby, with such a solid and reliable pillar as him, it will be no problem to walk sideways in the future. β
Su Yi: "Dear, let me declare that my child will not walk sideways." Let's not talk about big and small treasures, how well-behaved our city is, so that we won't become sassy. β
Brother Lin: "Only I think it's scary for the anchor to hang up the phone on the front foot and open the live broadcast room to spy on her man on the back foot?" has such a wife who is anti-sky, and it is impossible to hide from the anchor to do something bad. β
Su Yi: 'I don't call it surveillance, I call it care and love. Our Vice Minister Xiao has written righteousness in his bones, so he won't do bad things. Dear, worry about yourself. β
