When it was almost dark, Chu Tianqi drove Ning Junqi to the station. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After having dinner at a restaurant outside the station, she boarded the train to the provincial capital at seven o'clock.

Of course, before leaving Chu Tianqi's office, Ning Junqi still went to the bedroom with him to talk about work for a while, but it was only the ones that he had before, and he was not out of line.

When I got back to the unit, it was already dark. Today's office buildings are exceptionally quiet, more deserted than quiet. In fact, at night, the whole building is just myself and the janitor, probably subconsciously thinking about the word "holiday".

After entering the office and talking to home on the phone, Chu Tianqi lay down. Although it was not too late to lie down, it was late at night when I fell asleep.

……

The next day, Chu Tianqi got up very early, and after washing up, he went directly to the bus station and took the morning bus from Qingniuyu Township. It may be the reason for rushing home for the New Year, there are a lot of people on the morning bus, and it is already full when it is at the station.

As soon as I got in the car, I received a call that Ning Junqi had "arrived home safely".

More than two hours later, the shuttle bus arrived at Qingniuyu, and Chu Tianqi took some big bags and small bags and got off the bus. Most of these things were given by Lei Peng, Gou Fusheng and a few other friends, and there were also other gifts given back by the leaders when they went to send dried mushrooms to several leaders.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw my younger brother Chu Lirui waiting on the side of the road, and a brand-new agricultural vehicle was parked next to my younger brother, and there was a small shed on the agricultural vehicle compartment.

"Brother, so many things?" Chu Lirui greeted him, took the things Chu Tianqi took, and put them in the carriage.

"It's all from a friend. With that, Chu Tianqi sat in the co-pilot's seat, "You are quite efficient." ”

"Brother, if it weren't for the 4,000 yuan you gave, I wouldn't have been able to buy it this year. Chu Lirui started the farm vehicle and smiled, "Hehe", "Eh, brother, don't you have a special car now?"

"As soon as I arrived at work in the development zone, I drove the car back, which was too much. Chu Tianqi lit two cigarettes, put one in his brother's mouth, and held the other for himself, "Now there is no driver, and the car can't drive back, so I have to park a car in front of the door of the house, so don't let people talk nonsense?"

"You're the same as Dad, and that's what Dad said. Dad also said......" Chu Lirui said, changing the subject, "Buying such a farm vehicle, let Dad criticize it harshly, and I don't know that he is wrong." ”

"Stinky boy, did you say that about Dad?" Chu Tianqi gently brushed his brother's long hair.

"I will also complain to you, and I will never say it to others, let alone say it in front of my father. Speaking of this, Chu Lirui put oil under his feet, "Brother, sit down and look at the speed of our new car." ”

More than half an hour later, the farm truck stopped at the door of the house.

As soon as the brothers got out of the car, Niuniu was the first to jump out, followed by her mother and eldest sister.

"Uncle, you have become a big official, and you let your uncle pick you up, don't you have a car?" Niuniu looked at Chu Tianqi suspiciously.

Chu Tianqi picked up his niece and kissed her little cheek: "Niuniu, that's the car of your uncle's unit, how can you drive back casually?"

"Then how can my aunt drive to our house?" Niuniu asked again.

"Uncle...... She came to the village to inspect the work, and came to our house by the way. Chu Tianqi said patiently.

Niuniu's eyes flashed: "You can also come to check the work?"

"I can't tell you, but I'll understand when you grow up. Chu Tianqi hugged Niuniu and walked towards the courtyard.

Niuniu* pouted: "It's the same as what grandpa said, isn't it just to pay attention to the impact! ”

Everyone was amused by Niuniu's words, and the family entered the house with a giggle.

As soon as he entered the east room, he saw that his father had already sat on the kang, and Chu Tianqi called "Dad".

"Let's eat. Father Chu Yuliang patted the kang mat.

Chu Tianqi said "um", took off his shoes, got into the kang, and sat down next to his father.

Every year in winter, rural people have two meals at home. It's not ten o'clock in the morning now, and the meal has been prepared, just wait for Chu Tianqi and the brothers to come back and eat together.

The family sat together, talking and laughing, eating breakfast, and Chu Tianqi also drank two glasses of liquor with his father. Only his father didn't laugh, and everyone was used to it and didn't care, but Chu Tianqi always felt that his father seemed to have something on his mind.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished eating, Niuniu was pestering her to play with her uncle, but Chu Yuliang said, "Tianqi, accompany me to the house and sit for a while." ”

"Hmm", Chu Tianqi agreed, and followed his father to the West House.

According to his father's request, after closing the door of the house, Chu Tianqi also took off his shoes and went on the kang and sat opposite his father.

The room was quiet for a minute, and Chu Yuliang said in a low voice: "Tianqi, Dad asks you something, you have to tell the truth." As he spoke, he looked at the door vigilantly, for fear of being heard by others.

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Well, I know, you ask." ”

Chu Yuliang let out a long sigh and stared at his son's eyes: "Tianqi, you brought back so many things in big bags and small bags, some of them are quite expensive, especially two cigarettes that can only be smoked by big leaders, and those bottles of wine are at least more than a hundred bottles each, where did you come from?"

"Dad, can't you still trust your son?" Chu Tianqi said calmly, "These things were given by Lei Peng and a few friends, and these friends have known each other for a long time, and they are not under my control." There are also a few more expensive cigarettes and alcohol, which are gifts from the leaders when I give those dried mushrooms to a few leaders. ”

"Oh, it's normal to have a good relationship. So is the money for mushrooms public, or is it yours personal?" Chu Yuliang questioned again.

"Dad, those mushrooms are my own money, so the gift they gave me back will be mine, right?" Chu Tianqi said, smiling, "I'm not taking advantage of the public, right?"

Chu Yuliang didn't answer Chu Tianqi's words, but looked in the direction of the door again, and his voice was lowered: "Most of your salary is given to your family, where did you get so much money to buy mushrooms?" Also, you gave Lirui 4,000 yuan at once, where did you get it?"

"Dad, don't you trust your son?" Chu Tianqi also stared at his father.

Chu Yuliang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Letter." However, with so much extra money at once, I am still not sure. ”

Looking at his father's tangled eyes, Chu Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Originally, I couldn't say it, but I can tell you, but you must not let anyone know about it, except for you and me." ”

Seeing what his son said solemnly, Chu Yuliang patted his chest: "Tianqi, I* have done it...... I promise not to say it, including everyone, including your mother. ”

"Good. Chu Tianqi said, leaning in front of Chu Yuliang, "Dad, do you remember the time I fell into the cave?" Chu Tianqi told about the discovery ......of the Xianbei cultural relics, and the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau gave him a reward of 5,000 yuan.

After hearing what happened to his son, Chu Yuliang's brows suddenly relaxed, and he immediately took the unopened box of cigarettes from the kang head and opened his mouth. He took out two cigarettes, handed one to his son, and said with a smile: "It's the New Year, come, let's smoke a good cigarette and enjoy the treatment of leaders." ”

Although he was "interrogated" by his father, Chu Tianqi fully understood his father's hard work, knew that his father cared about him differently, and was worried that he would not be able to grasp it and take the wrong path. He was very moved in his heart, took the cigarette, and said solemnly to his father: "Dad, don't worry, my son will definitely not do anything sorry for you, not for the organization, and for the people." ”

"Don't say it, Dad knows. Saying that, Chu Yuliang turned on the lighter, "Come, Tianqi, light it." ”

Seeing that his father personally "put on fire" for himself, Chu Tianqi hurriedly bowed down, aimed the cigarette at the flame, and lit it.

Then, Chu Yuliang also lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, a smell of high-grade cigarettes permeated. Chu Yuliang took another sip and said with satisfaction: "This guy is much easier to smoke than dry tobacco, but it's too soft, and I can't help but smoke." ”

"Dad, if it's all as hard as dry tobacco, how many days do you have to smoke it, then the tobacco factory must not collapse?" Chu Tianqi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, market economy...... Ahem, ahem...... This guy is choking too. It must be the reason for talking while smoking, and his father Chu Yuliang coughed several times in a row.

"Knock knock", the knock on the door sounded, accompanied by Niuniu's shout: "Uncle, uncle, what are you and grandpa whispering, how did you plug in the door......?"

The two of them glanced at each other, Chu Tianqi immediately got off the ground, ran to the door, and said in his mouth: "Don't knock, don't knock." ”

As soon as the door opened, Niuniu quickly broke in, crossed her waist with her hands, and shouted menacingly: "Two big men are muttering, like what are they talking about? Hmph!" she said, stamping her feet.

"Hahaha......" Chu Tian and Qi both laughed.

……

Today is the twenty-ninth month of the lunar month, because it is a small month, in fact, it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

I bought what I should have bought at home, the couplets were also pasted, the cooking was handled by my mother and eldest sister, Chu Tianqi was talking to my father, and I was pestered by Niuniu and playing with her.

In the afternoon, making and receiving phone calls also took up a lot of Chu Tianqi's time. There were many callers, including village cadres, former colleagues in the township, colleagues, subordinates, and friends in the county, and even many classmates from the party school of the provincial party committee. Everyone is nothing more than to pay respects to the early years, and some are also congratulating Chu Tianqi on his promotion to double director.

Chu Tianqi also made a lot of phone calls, some to teachers and classmates, some to county leaders, some to the leaders of related units, and some to professors at the party school of the provincial party committee. Of course, some of the people who helped him, such as Section Chief Zhong of the Municipal Agricultural Bureau, Section Chief Gong of the County Development Planning Commission, and Director Wang of the Provincial Party School Training Base, all called and sent blessings.

The phone calls answered, although some were not thought of in advance, most of them were reasonable, and the slightly unexpected one was Meng Yuling. Meng Yuling only said a few words of New Year's greetings and congratulations, but Chu Tianqi felt a trace of desolation from the other party's words, but he couldn't help it, so he could only bless the other party from the bottom of his heart.
