Yongliang asked Li Honglin to hold a box of "Old Village Chief" high-end liquor produced by Harbin Military Liquor Factory, and he took two Chinese cigarettes and entered Liu Jiashu's house.

Liu Jiashu's home is in the family courtyard of the town government, it is a small courtyard with a brick and wood structure, the yard is not big, the north-south span is about ten meters, the east-west span is about seven meters, there are two south houses, one is a bathroom in the west, and one is a house in the east, there is a bed in it, a writing desk, and some textbooks on the writing desk, which should be the child living here. The east room is the kitchen, about three or four square meters, and to the west of the main house is a pool with a clump of bamboo planted next to the pool.

Liu Jiashu saw Yongliang and Li Honglin coming in with cigarettes and wine, and hurriedly let Yongliang to the main house.

The furniture in the house is very simple, just a couch, a coffee table, and a color TV, but everything is very clean and orderly.

Liu Jiashu said to Yongliang: "Mayor Wang, you come for the first time today, you don't know my rules, I will definitely not charge a penny of gifts, you can take back the wine and cigarettes for a while." ”

"Secretary Liu, this wine and cigarettes are neither a gift from me, nor the proceeds of corruption, absolutely clean. Yongliang said.

"That's not going to work either. Mayor Wang, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, no matter what the source of the things you brought, I will not accept them. I took a bottle of wine from you today, and tomorrow I will accept a case of wine from someone else, and over time, greed can't be contained. So, please understand me, okay?" Liu Jiashu said sincerely.

Hearing his words, Yongliang was shocked: Is it really fake? In this materialistic era, there are still such honest people? Wouldn't it be pretending to be a clean official in front of me?

Seeing Liu Jiashu's words, he couldn't help but believe Yongliang. He tore open the box, took out two bottles of "Old Village Chief", and said: "Let's each have one bottle of these two bottles of wine, and I can take the rest, okay?

"Okay! Supposedly, when you come to eat with me, you should not drink wine. Liu Jiashu agreed.

In desperation, Yongliang had to let Li Honglin take away the remaining wine and cigarettes.

"Shopkeeper, come on. Liu Jiashu saw that Yongliang was not as dead-faced as others, so he had to accept it himself, and he was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly shouted.

"Hey, it's coming!" As Liu Jiashu shouted, a middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen and came to the main house.

"Mayor Wang, this is my shopkeeper, Qi Guiqin. The shopkeeper, this is Mayor Wang, who just came. Liu Jiashu introduced.

"Hello, sister-in-law. Yongliang hurriedly stood up and said hello.

"Mayor Wang, hello. Is it so young? Mayor Wang, do you have a daughter-in-law? If you don't have a daughter-in-law, your sister-in-law will introduce you to one?" Qi Guiqin was dressed very plainly, but she was very neat.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm already married, and your brother and sister's maiden family is in the capital, so it's just a New Year's time since I returned to my parents' house, and I haven't come back yet. Wait for her to come back and let her get to know you. Yongliang said.

"That's a good idea. You sit, and your sister-in-law cooks two dishes for your brothers, and then makes dumplings for you to eat. After Qi Guiqin finished speaking, she motioned for Yongliang to sit down and go back to the kitchen to work.

"Secretary Liu, where does my sister-in-law work?"

"There is no work, rural women. ”

"Oh, that's not like that. My sister-in-law is a person who has seen the world at a glance. ”

"Mayor Wang, you're really right. My family is not simple, I was a famous 'Iron Girl' in the village, and when I was a daughter, I became the village women's director, and I was received by Taizu and his old man. Liu Jiashu talked about his wife's past with a proud face.

Oh, no wonder this Qi Guiqin looks fiery and speaks heartily, not at all like ordinary rural women, who have had such a glorious history.

"Are you classmates?" Yongliang became interested in Liu Jiashu and his wife, because Yongliang had great reverence for the advanced people at that time. At that time, the advanced was really advanced, and the absolute impartiality was impartial.

"We are a village, growing up in a small area. Later, I became a soldier, and my family got us engaged. She worked as a farmer at home, and kept writing to me to encourage me and compete with me to see who could improve faster and contribute more. It was this kind of encouragement that allowed me to make meritorious contributions in the army and turn into a non-agricultural household registration. Liu Jiashu said.

"After being promoted in the army, many people have become Chen Shimei. Yongliang said.

"Yes, the situation you are talking about is very common. But I just like her strong character, and I can't get used to that kind of demonic lady. Besides, what's wrong with the peasants? I don't feel that the peasants are inferior to others! To tell you the truth, Mayor Wang, I still have land at home, and your sister-in-law and I have to go home and work for a few days when the wheat passes in autumn. ”

"Although I am poor, I have a deep relationship with your sister-in-law, our happiness, you may not understand, the iron girl who was received by Taizu and his old man became my daughter-in-law, and it is very beautiful to think about. Liu Jiashu talked about his wife, and that kind of pride and pride was written all over his face.

At this point, Yongliang is full of respect for Liu Jiashu. This is a group of cadres who were born in the countryside, grew up in the army, and were deeply influenced by that era; they were willing to be poor, but they had strong convictions, and this was the noble sentiment of an old Communist Party member. Although it is difficult for them to integrate in the current materialistic situation, the shining points of their humanity and party spirit are so admirable.

Yongliang feels lucky to have such a partner, and at the same time, he is also full of confidence in the foreseeable future, and the struggle with some people and things.

While the two were talking, there was a knock at the door, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old entered, pushing a broken bicycle and carrying a military backpack on his shoulder.

The young man went into the yard, put the bicycle on the wall, and shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Hey, it'll be fine right away. Qi Guiqin came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound, and when she saw the young man, she said, "Look at you, are you playing basketball again?"

"This is my son Liu Zhe. Liu Jiashu introduced to Yongliang. Then he shouted at Liu Zhe: "Liu Zhe, come on." ”

Liu Zhe came into the house, Liu Jiashu pointed at Yongliang and said, "This is your Uncle Wang." ”

"Uncle Wang is good. Liu Zhe has a slender figure, green cloth pants, a green military uniform, and a pair of pull-back sneakers on his feet, which are slightly damaged in front. The eyebrows are clear, refreshing, and the face is like Xiao Qi's mother.

"Hello Liu Zhe. Yongliang said hello to Liu Zhe.

Liu Zhe picked up the thermos and refilled the water for Yongliang and Liu Jiashu, and said generously: "Uncle Wang, you sit down first, and I'll go eat." ”

Liu Zhe not only looks like Xiao Qi's mother, but also inherits Qi Guiqin's hearty atmosphere, and knows how to be polite, Yongliang has a good impression of him.

"How tall are you?" Yongliang asked Liu Jiashu.

"Senior year. I went to university this year. ”

"How's the result?"

"It's quite competitive, and I'm always the first in the class. ”

Speaking of his son, Liu Jiashu's face was full of a smile of relief.
