At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Junqi arrived in the provincial capital, and instead of asking the driver to take her home, she got off the bus on the side of the road. Her identity, including her relationship with her father, needs to be kept secret, and she naturally can't let the driver of the unit know. After arranging for the driver to "rest for one night and return by himself tomorrow", Ning Junqi took a taxi and went back to his second-story villa.

After putting the things into the house, Ning Junqi immediately went out again, went to the nearest vegetable market to buy some vegetables and non-staple food, including seasonings, and carried them back to his home in large bags.

Entering the kitchen, Ning Junqi put on a small apron and began to pick vegetables, wash vegetables, wash rice, cut vegetables, and cut meat. She had to make a hearty meal, greet her father, and greet what he said was a "good thing." Although the content of "good deeds" is still unclear, Ning Junqi hopes that filial piety will move the heavens and the earth and make his dreams come true.

Last night, Dad told Ning Junqi on the phone that there was a "good thing". and asked her to rush back early in the morning, and said that he would discuss some things with her. Therefore, she got up early and asked the driver Xiao Meng to send him back to the provincial capital.

The meat, vegetables, green onions, ginger and garlic have all been cut, and the rice has also been scooped and put in the pot. Ning Junqi came to the living room and called his father again. Dad told her to be home in another hour.

Putting down the phone, Ning Junqi looked up and saw a girl appear in the mirror, a haggard girl. Who is this? His cheeks are fleshless, his eye sockets are deep, his eyelids are black and blue, and even his face is blue. Ah, it's me.

Ning Junqi hurriedly jumped upstairs, entered the bedroom, faced the mirror, and made up his makeup. She can't let her father see her like this, so dad is worried, and it also affects his father's mood.

At six o'clock, Li Weimin went home. Ning Junqi, who was waiting in front of the door, immediately took the briefcase, put the slippers at his father's feet, and then helped his father take off his coat.

"Qiqi, the stewed fish tastes so fragrant, your craftsmanship is good. Li Weimin said as he walked to the sofa.

"That is, to entertain the secretary of the municipal party committee, of course, you have to show the best craftsmanship. Ning Junqi hung his coat in the closet, approached Li Weimin, and smiled: "Secretary Li, what's the good thing?"

"How can you entertain the leader like this? Before you eat, you ask about things first, there is no such rule. Li Weimin pointed to his daughter, "When the leader is satisfied, he will say it, and he will be in the mood to say it." ”

Ning Junqi's face darkened, a little disappointed, but he still said obediently: "Got it, leader." With that, he went into the kitchen and went to stir-fry.

After about half an hour of busy work, the dishes and a dish of assorted mushroom soup were served. There are four dishes, one stewed sea bass, one garlic broccoli, one fried daylily with meat, and one cold shredded potatoes. There are also two small pickles, a pickled cucumber strip and a pickled mustard shredded mustard greens.

"Daddy, have a drink. Ning Junqi said as he opened the liquor.

"I don't drink it, I drank several cups at noon, let's eat more food, it smells good." Li Weimin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Qiqi, have you been in the countryside for a few years and started eating pickles? ”

Ning Junqi "giggled": "Don't worry, Secretary Li, the saltiness of the dishes is made according to your taste." That's why I want to have some pickles. If it's not too light, I can't get used to it. ”

"Okay, I'll try it. Li Weimin took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's good, it's moderately salty, smooth and tender and refreshing." Come, you eat too. As he spoke, he sandwiched a large piece of fish meat for his daughter and put it in a bowl.

The meal was very harmonious, and the father and daughter served each other's dishes, courteously to each other, and told jokes from time to time. Especially Li Weimin always picks vegetables for his daughter and watches her eat, while he eats very slowly.

Under the care of his father, coupled with the good expectations in his heart, Ning Junqi had a good appetite, ate a bowl and a half of rice, and ate a lot of dishes. This is still a bowl of mushroom soup in advance, or I may have eaten more.

After eating, Li Weimin went straight to the living room. Ning Junqi was just about to chase out, but was blocked by Li Weimin's sentence of "talk after washing the pot". She had no choice but to pout and go to work.

When he finished washing the dishes, Li Weimin had already finished reading the news of the central and provincial stations, and was looking at his oncoming daughter with a smile.

Sitting on the sofa, Ning Junqi sat down next to his father and turned his head to stare at him.

Li Weimin stretched out his hand, opened the briefcase, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to his daughter: "Qiqi, look at this." ”

Seeing the content on the paper, Ning Junqi's face changed: "Provincial Party School training? Dad, this is the good thing you said?"

"There will be good things in a while. Li Weimin said, "This training class is a department-level cadre promotion class, which is temporarily added, and the number of places is limited, so it is not easy for you to get it." It's ......"

"Dad, you better tell me, what's the good thing?" Ning Junqi interrupted the other party.

"Qiqi, why are you so unruly, I have to say it one by one. Li Weimin reprimanded lightly, and then said, "Those who can participate in this class are all outstanding young cadres who are about to be promoted or have just been promoted. After you study, you will be immediately transferred to the second director of the Cadre Division of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. ”

"Is this what you said about a good thing?" Ning Junqi asked rhetorically, his eyes already full of tears.

Li Weimin's tone suddenly became much more severe: "Isn't it a good thing to be transferred from the countryside to the city, and the rank is promoted from the main department to the deputy department?

"I see, I see. Ning Junqi shook his head slowly, "You deliberately asked me to come back with the word 'good thing', which is actually a pretense, that is, to let me leave the township and let me leave Yuchi County, so as to achieve the purpose of breaking us up." Promotion is a good thing for most politicians, but I'm not a cold-blooded politician. In addition to work, I also have feelings, and I am still a girl of flesh and blood, and a girl in the flower season. ”

"You ......" After a pause, Li Weimin's tone softened, "Qiqi, you can't stay in the countryside for the rest of your life." You are also a big man, you have to think about your future family, for your future children. ”

"Think about your children, let your children listen to my arrangements, and let me beat mandarin ducks?" Ning Junqi stood up and smiled miserably, "You don't need to say it so high-soundingly, in fact, you just look down on the countryman, and you think he is from the countryside, this is the real reason why you broke us up, right? Then let me ask Secretary Li, aren't you also from the countryside, and aren't my grandparents also farmers?"

"Don't be vexatious. Li Weimin shouted and reprimanded, "It is precisely because I am from the countryside and know the hardships of the countryside that I am not willing to let you suffer like that again, and let your children also suffer with it." ”

"You've finally confessed, you've finally confessed. Ning Junqi cried, "Then you can change the appearance of the place through your own efforts, and you can make the life there richer and richer like the city." ”

Li Weimin said in a deep voice: "Don't say stupid things, put aside unrealistic idealism, and be more realistic." How much energy do you think a person has? That's so small. To do things well, a person needs the cooperation of the right time, place and people. Speaking of this, he changed the topic, "There are many ways to do things for the countryside and change the face of the place." I am also doing a lot of work to change the status quo in the countryside, but I am doing a lot for the vast number of farmers in the city, not for the narrow villages and towns as you said. In the same way, when you take up a new post and select more outstanding talents to devote themselves to rural construction, you are also making contributions to the rural areas, which may be greater than the contribution of a township party secretary to the entire rural areas. ”

"I can't explain the big truth, I'm just a small civil servant, and who are you? You are Secretary Li who has been up and down in the sea for many years. You can adjust my work as you like, it's your secretary's right, but I also have the freedom to choose not to accept it. Ning Junqi sneered, "Secretary Li, I'm afraid you already have a candidate for Chenglong's quick son-in-law, which minister's son, or which provincial governor's young master?"

Li Weimin smiled bitterly: "Qiqi, don't speak so extremely, is Dad such a snobbish person?"

"Any quibble pales in the face of facts. Ning Junqi said hatefully, "Secretary Li, I won't go to that training, I won't be a director, I will go back to the township to work." I'd rather not work if some people insist on stopping it. Also, I'm not going to part with him, never. With that, she hurried upstairs.

"Ning Junqi, stop. Li Weimin's face turned pale and shouted.

Ning Junqi didn't care about this at all, ignored it, and ran into the bedroom quickly.

Li Weimin's face changed sharply, and after taking a few breaths, he picked up his briefcase and went up to the second floor.

The crying from his daughter's bedroom broke Li Weimin's heart, but he still knocked on the door and said sharply: "Qiqi, you heard, listen to me." ”

The crying in the bedroom was not small but loud, and turned into a loud cry.

"Qiqi, I have something to say, if you don't listen, don't regret it. Li Weimin's voice was cold, "Don't regret that I didn't treat him well." ”

The crying stopped abruptly and turned into bursts of sobbing, obviously Ning Junqi heard his father's words.

Li Weimin sighed secretly and said in a deep voice: "If you don't listen to my arrangement, or do something that shouldn't be, I'll trouble him." If you don't cut it in two, I'll still be in trouble with him. With his character, it is very easy for him to make some mistakes and directly cut his post for the people. If you go too far, he'll be punished more severely. ”

"You, you're too ruthless. Ning Junqi's voice came out.

Li Weimin snorted: "What do you think, feel free, but I'm not trying to scare you." I am for your good and for his good. Are you willing to follow him and become a farmer for the rest of your life? If you are willing, can he do it? He has managed to jump out of the peasant gate, and he carries the happiness and hope of the whole family on his shoulders. Speaking of this, his tone softened, "As long as you completely listen to my arrangement, I can even help him appropriately without violating the policy." Think about it. With that, he walked away.

A heart-rending cry came out: "You're so ruthless, Mom......"
