In the village chief's office, the heavy curtains have been drawn. Outside the window, it was pitch black and the wind was howling, but the interior was bright and warm like spring.

Chu Tianqi sat on the chair and fell asleep, mainly because he hadn't rested well in the past few days, especially last night, when he slept for less than two hours.

Ning Junqi put down the carbon pen in his hand, closed the notebook, leaned back, and stretched. She looked at Chu Tianqi who was staring at him in a daze, and she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart: It's good to have someone by her side, even if he doesn't say a word.

Maybe he felt something, Chu Tianqi suddenly sat up, looked at Ning Junqi and said, "Are you done?"

"I'm not asleep, I'm hungry, you see Harazi is still there. Ning Junqi said and smiled, and at the same time gestured with his hand.

Chu Tianqi smiled and did not speak.

"Sleep like that, go back to sleep. Ning Junqi said, yawning as well.

"I've been here for almost an hour, and I've been waiting here, and now you're done, and you want to drive me away without saying a word, and there's no door. "Chu Tianqi is playing a scoundrel.

"Raippy. Ning Junqi said angrily, "By the way, I can give you the answer to the question you just asked me." When you have a meeting today, the scent you smell is Huang Jingzu's body, the smell of the foundation he put on his face. ”

"Oh, no wonder, that's right. I saw that something was wrong around his eyelids, and it turned out that there was something wrong with him, which was that he was wearing foundation on his eye sockets to hide his black and blue eye sockets. Chu Tianqi suddenly realized, "How did he get his eye sockets? Could it be that he really drove the car, or was he really beaten?"

"The car was definitely not driven by him, didn't the traffic police team say that the two injured people had just been brought to the public security bureau from the hospital? As for whether they were beaten by someone, it is difficult to say. Ning Junqi said, "Why are you so gossiping now? ”

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "Lace news...... Maybe there will be a while, the content is, when the holiday is about to break up, the executive deputy township chief is still sitting in the township mayor's office late at night and does not return, what are they doing?"

Ning Junqi sneered: "you, it's actually arranged on me now, I hate it." Then, with a sigh, he said, "I'm going home tomorrow, and you should take care of this part of the township." This year's achievements have not been easy to come by, but don't fall short. In particular, we should pay attention to some unexpected events, not only to pay attention to the township, but also to remind the village and those enterprises to pay attention. So far this year, there has not been any snow, and the weather is very dry, so please pay attention to fire safety, including setting off firecrackers. ”

Chu Tianqi patted his chest and said, "Okay, don't worry." I have already said hello to the village, and I have also told Zhao Gang from the police station, and I will emphasize it to them tomorrow. After that, the topic changed, "What reward do you have......?"

"Rewarding you for your size? Ning Junqi scolded, and then changed the topic, "This time the time is urgent, I can't see the uncle and aunt, I'll go again in the next year." ”

"You're welcome, the family doesn't talk to each other. Chu Tianqi picked up the conversation.

"Hey, some people have such thick skin, thicker than the bends of the city wall. Ning Junqi sighed lightly, "It's not early, you go back and rest." ”

"Hey, after waiting for a long time, I didn't get any benefits, let alone rewards. Chu Tianqi said, stood up slowly, and walked out.

Ning Junqi looked at Chu Tianqi's funny appearance, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, only when Chu Tianqi was about to arrive at the door, did he say softly: "What if...... If you can make the township peaceful, the reward is not impossible to consider. ”

"What did you say?" Chu Tianqi turned his head excitedly and asked.

"I didn't say anything. Ning Junqi said mischievously.

……

On the morning of the 28th of the lunar month, all the staff of Qingniuyu Township arrived at the conference room in advance, saying that all the personnel were not strict, and some people who were far away had already asked for leave to leave first, and in addition, the secretary and the organization committee members were not present.

At half past eight, the meeting officially began, presided over by Ning Junqi.

Today's meeting is the holiday meeting, and the holiday time was clarified at the meeting. According to the regulations, the official holiday time is seven days, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the first lunar month. But in fact, the townships and towns will not officially go to work until the eighteenth day of the first month, and Qingniuyu Township is not exempt from vulgarity, but from the seventh day of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month, a few more people on duty will be arranged.

For the duty schedule during the holiday, everyone already knew in advance, but it was reiterated at the meeting. At the same time, it emphasizes the work responsibilities and discipline during the duty period, the responsibility of the shift leader, and the emergency response to emergencies.

In everyone's expectations, Ning Junqi said that everyone is most concerned about the thing - year-end benefits: "Comrades, the New Year's items sent to everyone during the Spring Festival this year are the same as last year. Speaking of this, Ning Junqi stopped and glanced at the people in the conference room.

Listening to what the township chief said, many people were somewhat disappointed, originally thought that the township's financial income had increased so much this year, and that they would give more for the New Year, but they didn't expect it to be the same as last year.

Especially individual people, their hearts are even more unbalanced. Yesterday afternoon, when the township issued a year-end evaluation bonus, the most received more than 2,000 yuan, and the few only received a pitiful more than 100 yuan.

Just when everyone had different ideas, Ning Junqi's voice sounded again: "In addition, on the basis of distributing New Year's items, each person will be given a New Year's fee of three hundred yuan." After the meeting, go to the party and government office to pick it up. ”

A lot of people think they've misheard, but that's more than half a month's salary. The conference room burst into applause.

"Comrades, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and here, I wish you all a family reunion and a happy New Year in advance! ”

……

As soon as the meeting ended, Ning Junqi left, and was driven by the driver Xiao Meng. She ran some errands in the county in the afternoon, and then took the 7 p.m. train back to the provincial capital.

Many people in the township also left one after another after receiving benefits.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Chu Tianqi has no heart to work. As soon as I got back to the office, I started making calls. He was worried that he might not have a mobile phone signal when he returned to the village, and that there was no landline phone at home, so he greeted everyone in advance.

took out the list when he was fine, and Chu Tianqi dialed them one by one. This year, there are a lot more people who need to pay New Year's greetings, in addition to teachers and classmates, there are also some leaders. Some leaders have already visited their homes in advance and do not need to call again.

Before lunch, I called the leaders and teachers. Immediately after lunch, I called my classmates again.

The phone calls to Yun Xiangyu and Yu Tao have already been made, and it's time to call Lei Peng.

After dialing twice, Lei Peng answered the phone: "Dude, there were too many people just now, I didn't hear it." Is there something wrong?"

Chu Tianqi quipped: "Captain Lei, look at you." I, a hillbilly, will give you a New Year's greeting to the captain of the city, and wish you a happy New Year, a family reunion, prosperous official fortune, and a group of wives and concubines. ”

"What's the mess, do you want to be promoted and make a fortune, and there are a bunch of beautiful women?"

"Let it go, I'll go back in the afternoon. Chu Tianqi replied, "What about you, did you put it or not?"

"Alas, don't mention it, it was supposed to be a holiday, who knew that there would be a temporary task tonight. I don't know if I can rest on time tomorrow. Lei Peng's voice was full of helplessness, "By the way, to what extent is the matter of your township modern car? Your secretary is too, it is not good to park the car in the yard, so it is strange if you have to put it at the gate of the community and not lose it." ”

"Wait, what are you talking about?," Chu Tianqi hurriedly asked.

"Yes, you don't know, but it's nothing, even if you really lose it, and the insurance company will compensate you, and it won't be lost in vain. Lei Pengle said hahaha, "Don't say it, I have something." Say hello to your uncle and aunt. After Lei Peng finished speaking, there was a "beep" hang-up sound on the phone.

Putting down the phone, Chu Tianqi thought of what Lei Peng had just said. Is it any wonder that the Hyundai car was lost? It turned out to be at the entrance of the community, so what is the difference between it and putting it on the street? Eighty percent is Huang Jingzu's business, he doesn't care about driving to the courtyard, and maybe he is going to go out in the middle of the night. Thinking of the black eyes on Huang Jingzu's face, he must have encountered something, and it is possible that what he dreamed of really happened. Forget it, don't think about it, what are you doing with such gossip, Chu Tianqi no longer thinks about Hyundai cars.

Looking at the last name on the list, Chu Tianqi hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dial the number above, which was Ouyang Yuna's.

After the call, I wanted to take a break. Who would have thought that the visit of several people would disrupt the plan.

First came Wenwu, then Zhao Gang, then Liu Wentao, and finally the senior director of the credit union. They brought a lot of things, either in the name of greeting themselves or in the name of visiting their father. These are normal human interactions, and Chu Tianqi accepted them politely. Anyway, he will return the gift in the name of giving the child New Year's money or something.

The current director Gao is no longer the director of the Qingniuyu Township Credit Cooperative, but has been promoted to the director of the office of the Yuchi County Credit Cooperative. Although Chu Tianqi did not provide substantial help in the process of his promotion, Director Gao always thought that his promotion had Director Ouyang to see Chu Tianqi's face. Therefore, he is grateful to this young man who can almost be his own son in terms of age.

In addition to bringing New Year's gifts, Director Gao also personally drove Chu Tianqi back to Liulinbao Village. He didn't stay to eat, he helped bring the things into the house, and left after going to Chu Yuliang's room to see it.

When Chu Tianqi entered his father's room, he found that there were two hundred yuan next to his father's pillow, needless to say, it must have been placed by Director Gao. He handed over the money to his mother, and made a note of this matter in his heart, and he must find an opportunity to make up for Director Gao's friendship.

Chu Tianqi said secretly: I don't want to, wait for the New Year.
