During this year's Spring Festival, Chu Tianqi continued last year's habit and did not go door-to-door to greet the New Year, but accompanied his parents and relatives at home with his daughter-in-law. However, many people from the village came to the house to greet Chu Yuliang and his wife, and also greeted Chu Tianqi and others.

In the interval between dealing with the New Year's greetings, Ning Junqi played poker with Liu Xuanzhu, Chu Lirui, and Niu Niu, and the loser stickered a note. It didn't take long for Ning Junqi to stick more than a dozen on his face, and the three of them also had on their faces, but they were much less than her.

Since the Chinese New Year's Eve, especially on the first day of the New Year, Chu Tianqi's mobile phone has not stopped, and he has replied one by one with pre-programmed text messages. In the past two days, Chu Tianqi also made special calls to several elders, and also sent special New Year's greeting text messages to Secretary Chen and several others.

The eldest sister Chu Lijuan is still the backbone of the busy everyone's food, and her mother You Chunmei helped her. Chu Yuliang teased his grandson for a while, watched the four of them play poker for a while, or chatted casually with his eldest son.

The family celebrated the New Year in a simple way, and time passed quickly, and it was the third year of junior high school in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, after breakfast, under the advice of You Chunmei, in the farewell of everyone, full of hometown souvenirs and the friendship of relatives, Chu and Ning embarked on a journey to the provincial capital.

As soon as he came out of the house, Chu Tianqi's mobile phone rang, and it was Liu Wentao who invited him to dinner. When the other party knew that he had left, he expressed regret vigorously. The next phone calls for dinner came and went, and Chu Tianqi thanked the other party and apologized. Hearing Chu Tianqi's reply, most of the people expressed their understanding while regretting it, and hoped to come back next time to get together. But what Lei Peng wants to say is direct, saying that a good buddy fools him, which is escapism.

When he returned to his home in the provincial capital, Li Weimin was at home.

Seeing the instant noodle bucket in the garbage basket, Ning Junqi knew that his father's so-called "two-person world" was a pretense at all, and Aunt Yang still watched the children for her son and never came back at all. She couldn't help but have a sour nose, and immediately went downstairs to sell a lot of vegetables and non-staple foods, and then fried them "jingling".

From the moment they met, Weng and his son-in-law talked about work, not only about Chu Tianqi's work, but also about Li Weimin's own work. It can be seen that the father-in-law is specifically speaking to his son-in-law, otherwise he will never leak his mouth.

Four dishes and eight bowls were piled up on a full table, and Weng and his son-in-law sat down on the dining table and drank each other. Ning Junqi looked at the two of them stupidly, staring at the two most important men in his life.

The two chatted while drinking, Chu Tianqi was in charge of pouring the wine, and Li Weimin calmly waited for it.

At this time, there was no member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, no deputy ministerial-level leaders, and no county party secretary or county magistrate. Some are just a half-hundred-year-old man, a young man, a young woman, and some are just the most simple relationship between Weng and son-in-law.

Looking at the empty bottle of liquor, Li Weimin smiled: "Tianqi, you are very good at drinking!"

"Dad, where is this, people's nicknames are 'Chu Sanjin' and 'Director of Wine'. Ning Junqi picked up the stubble on the side.

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "Dad, don't listen to her nonsense, it was the stinky that the opponent sold me at that time." Actually, I don't drink so much, but I was slammed by those boys, so I used some means to force the wine out at any time. ”

"Stretch out your hand and see if there's any wine in your hand?" Li Weimin knocked on the table.

Chu Tianqi stretched out his hands: "It's dry." Dad, do you want to look at your feet?"

Ning Junqi laughed: "Giggles...... Looking at the whole province, no county magistrate has dared to say that to his father, right?"

Li Weimin snorted: "There hasn't been a little county magistrate who has abducted my daughter." ”

"Dad, I'm doing this to you, why are you still squeezing me......? I don't know the hearts of good people. Ning Junqi muttered.

"Look, turn your elbows out, and learn to scold your dad for not wearing dirty words. Li Weimin "scolded" his daughter, and then looked at his son-in-law again, "Boy, you are not allowed to play tricks when you drink today." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "Don't worry, you will never dare to deceive the minister, if I don't count what I say, I will be a puppy." ”

"Listen, both of them speak so similarly. After a ridicule, Li Weimin said again, "I want to see how much 'Chu Sanjin' is, whether he will get drunk, and whether he will get drunk and run away." ”

"Don't mention it...... It was a thing of the past, when I was young and ignorant. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi raised his wine glass, "Old Taishan, son-in-law respects you!"

"This guy is flamboyant. Despite saying this, Li Weimin still picked up his wine glass and touched his son-in-law.

As they spoke, they drank half of the second bottle, and the two of them drank faster.

Looking at this posture, Ning Junqi picked up the wine bottle and said, "One person has drunk seven or eight taels, it's almost." ”

"Where's this? Leave it alone. Li Weimin said, reaching for the wine bottle.

Ning Junqi flashed, and then said, "Dad, if you drink it like this, how much is enough for you to drink? You two say okay, how much more will you drink? At most, drink this bottle, okay?"

"It depends. There is nothing to do with drinking. Li Weimin stretched out his hand again, "Give me the wine bottle." ”

"If you don't give, you don't give. Ning Junqi shook his head.

"Junqi, listen to Dad, Dad is happy today. Chu Tianqi spoke.

"you, don't make a fuss. Ning Junqi didn't buy it.

"Okay, listen to you, it's all right. Li Weimin stretched out his hand again.

"Okay. Ning Junqi emphasized and handed over the wine bottle.

Li Weimin took the wine bottle, but changed the hexagram: "Drink and talk, don't drink more." ”

"You...... I'm so angry, talking doesn't count. Ning Junqi pouted.

Weng and his son-in-law ignored the angry person and continued to drink.

As he spoke, Chu Tianqi suddenly said, "Dad, I've been thinking about it all this time, and I always feel that you seem to have something to hide from me." ”

"Hide it from you? Li Weimin said, and picked up the wine glass again, "Come, drink." ”

After clinking glasses with his father-in-law and drinking, Chu Tianqi said again: "I think I should be the secretary of the county party committee......"

"Don't talk about work, don't talk about work, come, Xu Dashao, drink. Li Weimin took the cup again.

"Good, good. Chu Tianqi responded, clinked glasses with his father-in-law, and drank it all.

Chu Tianqi tried to bring up the topic a few more times, but was led away by the other party.

Just when the second bottle of wine bottomed out, Chu Tianqi said with his tongue wide open: "Don't drink it, I, I can't drink it." ”

"Don't drink it?Okay, since you're soft, forget it. Li Weimin generously put down the wine glass.

Ning Junqi put away the cold color on his face and pulled up his husband: "Dad, he drank too much, I'll take him upstairs first." ”

"Go, go. Li Weimin waved his hand.

Ning Junqi took her husband's arm, left the dining table, and walked upstairs step by step.

Coming to the bedroom on the second floor, Chu Tianqi turned his head and squeezed his eyes at his wife.

Ning Junqi smiled slightly, her lips were imprinted on her husband's face, and she said softly, "Honey, thank you!"

"You can't just thank you with words, right?" Chu Tianqi said, reaching for the other party's collar.

"You're going to die, Daddy is downstairs. Ning Junqi reprimanded in a low voice, quickly broke away from her husband's "clutches", and ran out of the house.

……

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, in the evening, Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi appeared in the Xu family's old mansion and appeared in the living room of Xu Dazhuang's room. The two of them had just returned from Yanyun City, and instead of going home, they went directly here.

After greeting his grandfather, Chu Tianqi brought up the topic at his father-in-law's house two days ago: "Grandpa, I have served as the secretary of the county party committee for nearly a month, the party and government have been shoulder-to-shoulder, and I have worked overtime day and night, and I finally survived smoothly until the Spring Festival, my task is complete, right?"

Xu Dazhuang smiled: "You have no head and no tail, what do you mean?"

Chu Tianqi also smiled: "In December, Junqi was kidnapped, I personally involved in danger, and with the help of all parties, we finally escaped smoothly." In the subsequent battle, he also put down the bandits' nest and arrested all those thieves. However, at the same time, the secretary of the district political and legal committee was involved, and the secretary of the municipal legal committee was introduced, and then the secretary of the county party committee was also arrested. So far, a total of two deputy departments and nine deputy departments have been arrested. Although several people were not involved in this case, but were arrested for other things, people have all counted this account on my head, and some people have already called me 'Xinhe officialdom broom star' behind my back. I guess you know these things, and you can think of them, right?

After taking office as the secretary of the county party committee, it seems that I am quite beautiful, and the party and government grasp together, and my popularity seems to be very strong. The city said that I was the best choice, fully trusted me, and asked me to recommend some people. Originally, I had already aroused the disgust of the people in the Xinhe officialdom, and now I am still asked to recommend a candidate for the deputy department, which is completely beyond the scope of my authority, and it is equivalent to prying the power of others, so can those people not hate me? Most of the people in the county are not in the same line as me, and the relationship is usually just that of ordinary colleagues, and no matter who I recommend, other people will have opinions, and they will offend a large number of people. If I don't recommend it, or if the recommendation is not appropriate, I can't explain it to the municipal party committee.

I think that when the city makes such a statement, when giving me some rights, it must be mainly to show favor and woo, and it is also the so-called reuse and high look. But the consequence was to put me on fire, leaving me in a dilemma, and not pleasing inside and out. I think you can't think of these questions, and my father-in-law can't think of them, but you didn't stop them at the time, and you didn't prompt me, that is, let me complete some tasks. Now, the relevant case has advanced to the judicial stage, and it is not affected by whether the red-haired Qin Bozhao wakes up, and the county has basically stabilized, I think my task has been completed. If I stay any longer, I have to wait until the vacancies have to be filled, then I will offend everyone, and it will be difficult to carry out my work, and I will become more and more passive. ”

Xu Dazhuang said "oh": "The task is completed?" paused for a moment, and then said, "It's not early, you two are tired, go back and rest early." ”

"That'...... All right. Grandpa also rested early. Chu Tianqi didn't continue to ask, stood up, and walked out of the house with his wife.

"This kid. Xu Dazhuang chuckled and pointed in the direction of his grandson's departure.
