The next day, before Chu Tianqi got up, his mobile phone rang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He took it and looked at the number, it was Liu Wentao's, so he quickly pressed the answer button: "Chairman Liu." ”

"Xiao Chu, just call Brother Liu, don't call me blindly. Liu Wentao's voice came, "Come to me for dinner." ”

"I ...... I'm going home soon. Chu Tianqi replied truthfully.

"It's not too late to come back after eating. Liu Wentao said with a smile, "Your driver is also coming, how can you go back?"

Hearing Liu Wentao say this, Chu Tianqi knew that Ning Junqi was also invited, so he was no longer polite and replied, "Okay." ”

"I'll be waiting for you at home. After speaking, Liu Wentao hung up the phone.

Chu Tianqi immediately got up and began to wash. I washed up and got dressed.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, Chu Tianqi looked at it and pressed the answer button. Ning Junqi's voice came from the phone: "Have you cleaned up?"

Chu Tianqi replied, "Okay." ”

"I'll be waiting for you in the courtyard. After Ning Junqi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After locking the door, Chu Tianqi walked towards the door.

As soon as I turned a few corridors, I saw Ning Junqi, dressed in white clothes and pants, standing in the courtyard. He walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ning, it's early!"

"It's early? It's past seven o'clock. I've been up early. Ning Junqi gave him a blank look, "It seems that your kid must have just woken up, let's go." With that, he took a step.

Chu Tianqi followed, and the two walked out of the township government compound together.

On the way, I met villagers from time to time, and I also met several colleagues from the township, and everyone greeted each other. After Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi walked away, people would generally stop and watch for a while, some people had a look of sudden realization, some people had envy in their eyes, and some people had a little doubt.

This is the first time that the two have walked side by side on Qingniuyu Street, and they have deliberately avoided this situation before, especially Ning Junqi said that "we must pay attention to the impact". And today, the two of them walked like this, compared to Chu Tianqi's slightly restrained, Ning Junqi was much more generous, talking and laughing from time to time, laughing and groaning.

An unmarried beautiful township secretary, a handsome unmarried executive deputy township chief, and a single person on the street will attract people's eyes and discussions. And today the two appeared together on the street, and they also behaved more intimately. In the small Qingniuyu, this is undoubtedly the biggest news, and it must also be a topic of conversation that people bring up from time to time after dinner.

"Junqi, aren't you afraid of the impact?" Chu Tianqi asked as he walked.

"Influence? What kind of impact? Aren't we just walking together? What's the matter? Besides, they are two free men, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, who can say anything?" Ning Junqi said indifferently, "Little comrade, Dante said it well, 'Go your own way, let others say go.'" With that, he winked at him playfully.

"Shibei for three days, impressive. Chu Tianqi teased.

In fact, Chu Tianqi knew in his heart that Ning Junqi was worried that he would not be able to figure out this transfer. So in this way, I am expressing to myself and others that my Ning Junqi and your Chu Tianqi's hearts will always be together. In order to support herself, she deliberately left the influence on her behind. Of course, as she leaves the township, the relationship between the two will not have any impact on her.

Then, Chu Tianqi said again: "Junqi, you have done too much for me. ”

"Don't, don't talk sour on the street. Ning Junqi joked, "There is a saying in the countryside that 'take a broom to occupy a mill', I am telling some people that I have a broom on this plate, so don't beat my idea." I tell you, you are not allowed to go out and take advantage of the mill. ”

"Of course, am I that kind of person?" Chu Tianqi said with a smile.

"You're not, who are?" Ning Junqi tapped his arm twice, "Everywhere you go, you attract butterflies." ”

"Secretary Ning, come here. A voice sounded, interrupting the laughter of the two.

The two looked up and saw a person standing in front of them, who was Liu Wentao, chairman of the presidium of the Township People's Congress. Just now, the two of them only cared about talking, and they didn't pay attention to the front at all, and they didn't expect Liu Wentao to come out to greet them in advance.

Thinking that the little fight just now was also seen, Ning Junqi's face was slightly red, she walked up quickly, stretched out her hand and said, "Chairman Liu is too polite, and I ask you to come out to greet him." ”

Liu Wentao shook Ning Junqi's hand and said, "Secretary Ning is here, this is to give me old Liu Tianda's face, of course I have to come out to greet him." ”

Chu Tianqi stepped forward and said, "It seems that I am a supporting role. ”

"In terms of age and position, you are all a junior, of course, you can only play a supporting role. Liu Wentao joked, and then said to Ning Junqi: "Secretary Ning, please." ”

Ning Junqi and Liu Wentao pushed and gave in, and then walked through the alley at the door together and walked towards the courtyard. The humility and laughter of the three of them just now fell into the eyes of many people, and soon became another topic of discussion among people. It has become a phenomenon that some people in the township pay attention to.

The yard was clean and tidy, with a small vegetable garden with cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, etc. Cucumbers with small yellow flowers and tomatoes and eggplants with sparkling dewdrops are fresh and have their own flavors.

Ning Junqi praised while watching: "The small courtyard is really good, those cucumbers and tomatoes are fragrant when they look at it." ”

Liu Wentao was very happy: "I planted it myself, it tastes." It's not like those things that come out of the greenhouse, which look big and eat little in your mouth. ”

A woman in her forties came out of the house and called "Secretary Ning" and "Township Chief Chu".

Ning Junqi took a few steps forward, grabbed the woman's hand, and said, "No wonder Chairman Liu is usually dressed so neatly and energetically, you can know the reason when you look at your sister-in-law." ”

Hearing Ning Junqi's praise, the woman was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Enter the house, the meal is ready." ”

Everyone entered the house together, and Liu Wentao accompanied Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi to the East House.

A dining table has been set up on the floor of the east room, and water glasses, chopsticks, drinks, liquor, and beer have been placed on the table. The three of them had just sat down on a chair at the dining table, and Liu Wentao's daughter-in-law had already brought a plate of raw cucumbers and a plate of tomatoes.

"Secretary Ning, these are more flavorful to eat, try them first. Liu Wentao smiled. And made a "please" gesture.

"Okay, okay, I'll start with one. Ning Junqi said, picked up a cucumber from the plate, broke it and gave it to Chu Tianqi. I took the remaining half in my hand, ate it, nodded frequently while eating, and said, "It's just flavorful, it's much more flavorful." ”

"It's good to eat, you can get some back later. Liu Wentao's daughter-in-law said, and put a few small pickles and a plate of peanuts on the table.

"I'm sorry to eat and take it. Ning Junqi joked.

Liu Wentao answered: "Secretary Ning, just eat delicious, take more in a while, the secretary said that the vegetables grown by my family are delicious, I have more face!"

The crowd burst out laughing.

Soon, the cut ham sausage and sauced beef were served, and the cold shredded potatoes and cucumbers were also served.

"Secretary, do you want to order white or beer?" Liu Wentao asked for advice.

"I'm not going to drink, I'll have to drive in a while. Ning Junqi excused himself.

Liu Wentao was very enthusiastic: "Then how can you do it? The first time I came to eat at home, I had to drink a little." If Xiao Chu is in a hurry to go home, let him take the shuttle bus back in the afternoon. ”

Now that the words have been spoken, Ning Junqi couldn't be polite anymore, so he said, "Then I'll have a little white." ”

Ning Junqi drank white, and Liu Wentao and Chu Tianqi were naturally liquor.

At this time, Liu Wentao's daughter-in-law also brought a plate of fried meat and celery and a plate of garlic broccoli to the table.

Liu Wentao stood up, held a wine glass in his hand and said, "Secretary Ning, you can come, my old Liu is really happy, the first glass is for you, Xiao Chu accompanies you." ”

Ning Junqi sprinkled the cup in his hand and stood up: "Chairman Liu, thank you for your invitation and hospitality." ”

"Secretary Ning, you two are sitting, just me standing, I'll stand this time. Liu Wentao gestured with his hand as he spoke.

Ning Junqi had no choice but to sit down.

The three of them touched their glasses and drank them all. Liu Wentao sat down, and then each ate a few bites of food.

Liu Wentao picked up the wine glass again and said, "Xiao Chu, you are going to work in the county, and my brother's glass of wine will be counted as a meal for you." The county is no more complicated than the township, especially the county party committee and government, and it is much more complicated than ours, so you must be cautious and guard against other people's plots. Speaking of this, Liu Wentao smiled self-deprecatingly: "I haven't worked in the county party committee either, so this is just my hearsay." ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu, I remember. Chu Tianqi picked up the sprinkling cup and nodded solemnly.

"You Xiao Chu is fine, you are good everywhere. Come, cheers, brother wishes you good luck. Liu Wentao said, raising his glass.

"Come, I will accompany me, and I wish our Comrade Xiao Chu a bright future. Ning Junqi also raised his glass.

The three of them drank another full glass.

A plate of meat fried daylily was served, followed by a plate of pickled green onion leaves and boiled tofu was also served.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, there are so many dishes, you can't eat them. Sit down and eat. Ning Junqi greeted.

Liu Wentao's daughter-in-law smiled: "Rural people don't have anything to eat, Secretary Ning don't laugh." You eat, you eat. With that, she walked out.

After eating a few bites of food, Liu Wentao picked up the third glass of wine and said solemnly: "Secretary Ning, Xiao Chu and I are good brothers, he is going to work in the county, and you have lost a right-hand man." Now some people in the township want to make small moves, and my old Liu also feels it. Although I don't have much ability, I have been in Qingniuyu for more than 20 years, and I have some connections. I make a statement, wherever you are useful to my Lao Liu, just ask. You can rest assured, they can't afford to make big waves. ”

After listening to Liu Wentao's words, Ning Junqi was very moved. Liu Wentao's meaning is very clear, that is, I support you Secretary Ning. Now with Chu Tianqi's departure, the next situation must be very grim, Feng and Wang are united, and if Lu Yong is added, his situation will be very difficult. Now Liu Wentao has such a statement, which is very commendable.

Ning Junqi understands that Liu Wentao is now equivalent to taking a back seat, and there is nothing to ask for as a township secretary. But although he is a secretary, he is facing many possible multi-way sieges, and with the help of Liu Wentao, the "old Qingniuyu", he has undoubtedly increased his strength. Although Liu Wentao no longer has actual rights, after all, he has been in Qingniuyu for more than 20 years and has been the deputy head of the township for many years, so he will definitely be able to help him a lot. Moreover, the chairman of the presidium of the township people's congress can still play a great role in the election of these matters.

Ning Junqi said sincerely: "Thank you for your support, Chairman Liu. ”

Liu Wentao smiled: "Just call me Lao Liu." ”

"Okay, then I will call you Brother Liu like Xiao Chu. Brother Liu, if there is something that needs your help, my little sister will definitely not be polite. Ning Junqi said solemnly.

Hearing the secretary call himself "Brother Liu" and call himself "little sister", Liu Wentao was very happy and drank the wine glass. Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi also drank the wine in their glasses.
