Besides, Wang Tui's words made everyone's faces smile, and their mood suddenly improved. After he accompanied the city leaders out, he walked out one after another, talking in a whisper.

Downstairs, Wang Tui said to Xiang Zhibang: "You go first, I'll go and ask Secretary Wen." ”

"Let's go together, maybe he scolds his mother at home, your face may not be given to you, and he will eat behind closed doors. He may be able to appreciate my old face," Xiang Zhibang said with a smile.

Wang Tui laughed, "That's fine." ”

Three people go together, please be warm. It was really guessed by Xiang Zhibang, the door of the warm house was strictly controlled, and it was locked, if it wasn't for Xiang Zhibang even slamming the door with shouting, he really couldn't open the door.

The old lady came out and opened the door with a gloomy face.

"Old sister-in-law, what's the matter, lost your temper?" Xiang Zhibang said with a smile.

"What old sister-in-law, is she so old?" the old lady seemed to be disgusted with him, and pointed to the house again, and whispered, "It's being tough." ”

The three of them cautiously entered the house, and saw Wen Wen sitting on the sofa, like a Buddha statue, motionless, but without the kindness of the Buddha, his face was sinking like water, frowning, the corners of his fat mouth were still slightly shaking, and there were broken cups on the ground.

When the three of them entered the house, no one spoke, and each found a seat and sat down. Warmth didn't react as if she didn't see them. Xiang Zhibang and Wang Tui's eyes met, each nodded slightly, and Xiang Zhibang opened his mouth tentatively.

"Old leader, don't be sad, I understand your feelings, I've worked all my life, and I'm reluctant. But the years are not forgiving, we are all old, and no one can escape this day. I'm also at the end of the New Year, and I'm reluctant, and so is Secretary Gao, and I have to retire in July next year. Alas, after working all my life, it may not be a good thing to retire and rest, so why bother. ”

Wen Wen let out a sigh of relief, couldn't help it, and actually shed two lines of tears, "I didn't expect this day to be so fast, it's uncomfortable," and pointed to his chest, "It's also cold, this is said to retreat, people go tea and cool, infinitely sad." ”

"Secretary Wen, the tea won't be cold, you are still the consultant of Ying County, and the consultant has no intention of retiring," Wang Tui said busily.

"Consultant?It's like coaxing a child with candy, if you retire, you will retire, what kind of consultant," he smiled warmly and self-deprecatingly.

"Old regiment leader, you can't say that, the Central Committee still has an advisory committee, and old comrades like us don't still exert their residual heat? You, the consultant, are the only one in Yingxian County, and they have a lot of weight. ”

"Yes, you're an old man, and you're still so good at talking. ”

"Hehe," Xiang Zhibang smiled, "Let me tell you, today, if the vice governor hadn't come to the city to inspect the work, Secretary Gao would have come, and it had already been said, and the province came early in the morning, and Secretary Gao couldn't leave." ”

"Don't explain, I'm like a mirror in my heart. ”

Xiang Zhibang smiled, "Then let's go, let's sit down, I haven't sat together for a long time, and when I get to your base, how can I enjoy a bowl of wine and eat." ”

"Don't say it so nicely, it's for me to see me off, right?"

"I know what you're thinking, if you don't want to go, sister-in-law, sister-in-law," Xiang Zhibang called.

The old lady hurriedly came out of the back room, "Prepare two dishes for us, we won't leave, just eat here." ”

"Okay, you wait, pork stewed vermicelli, I'm the best," the old lady was delighted.

"What a stupid woman, what age, who is still rare that, you, you haven't fought for me in your life, let's not serve," Wen Wen trained the old woman.

"Don't listen to him, just eat here, I'll cook you gnocchi and mix a few side dishes, this is Xiao Xiangzi's favorite food, and there is a bottle of good wine, but pure sorghum wine, very authentic," the old lady said with a smile.

"Okay, just eat pork vermicelli and boiled gnocchi, it's better to be a sister-in-law. ”

"Look at your mouth like honey, got, got, got, let's go, you guys have eaten a mouth here and left, we still have to work for a long time," Wen Wen said, standing up.

Xiang Zhibang smiled, also stood up, and deliberately whispered: "The old regiment commander is still so picky, do you remember, at the time of the fifth encirclement and suppression, I stole three peanuts from you, and you blew your beard and stared, and almost drove me out of the battalion headquarters." ”

"Who made you greedy, that's what you and I eat, that's reserved for the patient, I just sniffed it with my nose, you're good, you chirp and eat three of them," he said, with a smile on his warm face, and quickly disappeared, "What about you, I'm really convinced of you, the stinky problem still can't be changed, and you know how to please people." ”

Wang Tuguang was worried that Wen Wen would embarrass himself if he didn't give this face, but now he is relieved, he really lost Xiang Zhibang, otherwise, how could he get off this stage.

Cui Jie prepared two tables according to Wang Tui's requirements, both of which were powerful factions in the county, and he waited carefully, not daring to slack off.

Warm seems to be very nostalgic, three glasses of wine down, can't help the old tears, from time to time sighing nose, nose a handful of tears, just handkerchief with several pieces, uncomfortable he tears with wine to drink.

In this way, he made the atmosphere very dull, and even annoyed himself when he talked too much about persuasion. Besides, good words are not repeated, but if they are said three times in a row, no matter how good they are, they become derogatory words. The most embarrassing thing is Xiang Zhibang, he has said a lot of words of consolation, and a lot of words of compliment, and the warmth is either a sigh or an old tear, sighing secretly, and I understand, who is not greedy for power, although he is a county party secretary, he has a lot of power. is used to being an official, calling for wind and rain, making people accustomed to serving, and the cold and inappropriate is not an official, his heart is empty, and he doesn't want his life.

"Old leader, if you want to open up, they are all watching you," Xiang Zhibang leaned closer to him and whispered.

Wen Wen pinched a handful of snot, wiped a few handfuls, threw the handkerchief to the ground, and picked up the wine glass again, "I'm so sad, it affects everyone's emotions, come, let's have a drink, count me as aparation." ”

He said this, and whoever does not quickly bring up the wine glass, and a full glass of wine must be drunk even if he dies. Before I could eat a bite of the food, the three glasses of wine had already been eaten, and some of the small ones could not stand it anymore and slipped out crookedly; the large ones also had red faces and red ears, and they were panting for a long time, as if there was a lack of oxygen in the house.

Xiang Zhibang put down his wine glass, "The old leader's majesty has not diminished back then, and the old white man in his sixties can blow a bottle in one breath." But I can't, we can't drink like this anymore, if we drink like this again, I'm afraid I'll slip out under the table. ”

Wen Wen put down the cup, shook his head with a smile, "What old leader, now, I call you leader." ”

"Old leader, I'm really annoyed if you do this again," Xiang Zhibang's face changed a little.

Wen Wen also knew each other, and shook Xiang Zhibang's hand, "Don't you still call me the old leader, why are you still annoyed with the leader? ”

"No, no, no, don't say it once, you can call it whenever you want, I still feel rusty if you don't call it like that. ”

"Well, with your words, I will be content. I tell you, I have no opinion on you, I have never had an opinion, I remember what I told you when you left here, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, no matter how big an official you are in the future, I am happy for you. You also know my stinky problem, and I am very jealous. But, I'm jealous that no one will be jealous of you, we are true brothers, although we didn't come out of the same mother's womb, but it's no different, right?"

"Well, it's like a brotherly phrase. The old leader is right, I have worked under you for decades, the old leader has not treated me badly, and you still helped me marry my daughter-in-law, and I will never forget Xiang Zhibang for the rest of my life. ”

"That's how it should be, I don't help you, who will help you, do you want Gao Changhe to help you? Who is he, you don't know......"

Xiang Zhibang hurriedly intercepted his words, "Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, today is to risk my life, and I will also accompany the old leader to get drunk and rest," he said, pointing to the cup and asking for wine.

Wang Tui glanced at Qiuyue, Qiuyue understood, and immediately went to the wine table on the side and took two halves of wine and handed it to Wang Tui, Wang Tui took it and said with a smile: "I personally gave the wine to the two leaders." ”

"Okay, Xiao Wang, you have to behave, you have to count on Xiao Xiang to bring you in the future, I can't do it, I don't have enough spare energy, I can't help you anymore, he's okay, although he is a deputy minister, that's all work, Ji Tao is just a name, and he looks crooked all year round, and it's useless." This is the real Buddha, but don't burn the wrong incense and worship the wrong Buddha. ”

"Old Master, are you hurting me again?" he said, holding his glass.

He knows the most about the amount of alcohol he drinks, and even ten is no match for him. So, how can you put him in your eyes, his mouth is not next to the wine glass, he tilted his neck, a full glass of wine was poured into his stomach, and as soon as the cup was put down, he touched his mouth with his hand and looked at Xiang Zhibang.

Xiang Zhibang did not show weakness, and he also tilted his neck and poured it into his stomach, but he felt that something was wrong, faint, it was clearly water, and the moment he swallowed it, he glanced at Wang Tui beside him, his heart was full of gratitude, put the cup down, deliberately grinned, and quickly picked up the water cup and drank a few sips, "Old leader, you can't drink it, you can't drink it," he said and deliberately burped, as if he was going to vomit.

"Then it's up to you, Xiao Wang, pour it for me again," he said to Wang Tui, and took on the posture of being a family member again.

Wang Tui poured him wine and deliberately whispered: "Secretary Wen, I've drunk a lot, do you want to drink something else?"

"It's okay, pour it on, don't worry, you won't be embarrassed. ”
