Hu Xiaoying and Liang Jian couldn't help but nod, "Master Zhikong's memory is really extraordinary!" Master Zhikong said, "Where, it's just a little trick." However, I have an expectation that if Secretary Ma's son really comes to the northern new city of Jingzhou City one day to develop, Hu Shizhu must also create good conditions for him, otherwise my monk will be a fool. Hu Xiaoying said: "Please rest assured, Master Zhikong." ”

Liang Jian thought to himself, Master Zhikong is too worried, after all, he is the son of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and the officials of the entire Jingzhou City probably want to take care of him, for fear that they will not be able to get the opportunity. However, what Master Zhikong said also shows that he has always had a knot in his heart. Today he said this, and the whole knot may be untied.

Leaving Hokkeji Temple, on the mountain road, the snow is heavier.

Hu Xiaoying said: "I'm sorry, I said I was going to invite you to dinner, but today's party is really ......" Liang Jian didn't need her to explain, so he said: "I understand." At this time, Liang Jian's mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be Huang Shaohua, the former leader who had not been in contact for a long time.

After receiving a call from the old leader, Liang Jian first felt guilty, since he came to work in the municipal government office, he had less and less contact with the old leader.

In the past, Huang Shaohua liked to drink, and arranged a lot of wine and dinners, and often called Liang Jian. Since the stroke incident, Huang Shaohua has made up his mind to quit drinking, and the number of times he asks Liang Jian to eat has also decreased. There are fewer opportunities for the two to meet. Eating is really the most important way for officialdom to connect with feelings, and if you withdraw from the drinking and dining party, a large part of the society will also withdraw from this social field.

Liang Jian didn't think much about it, his voice was full of joy, and he picked up Huang Shaohua's phone: "Secretary Huang, hello!" Huang Shaohua's voice was very familiar: "Liang Jian, I haven't seen you for a long time." What will this be busy with?" Liang Jian said, "Not busy. Huang Shaohua said: "If you are not busy and don't come to see my brother, come to my house for dinner in the evening, so be it!"

Liang Jian really didn't have much to do at night, not to mention that Huang Shaohua rarely called himself to eat, and he would find a way to go if he had something. He simply said, "Okay, I know." ”

Putting down the phone, Hu Xiaoying, who was sitting on the side, asked: "Has someone invited you to dinner?" Liang Jian did not hide it, now Hu Xiaoying is no longer his direct leader, and many things are easy to say: "Yes, it is from your district, my old leader, Director Huang Shaohua." Let me go to his house for dinner. ”

Hu Xiaoying said, "Oh, Director Huang, you should go." In addition, you can also help me say hello to him, the New Year will be over in a few days, and there will be no more meetings before. You can also sue him, and we will consider him going to the National People's Congress next year. Of course, the position of deputy director of the National People's Congress is unlikely, and we will arrange a most suitable position for him. ”

Liang Jian said, "Thank you." He felt that Hu Xiaoying asked him to bring this letter, which was actually a favor to Liang Jian.

The car sent Hu Xiaoying to the hotel first, and looking at Hu Xiaoying's wonderful back when she walked into the hotel, Liang Jianjian couldn't help but feel a little hot. Hu Xiaoying didn't mean to twist her waist, but she had a charm when she walked, which made men can't help but stare at her.

The driver then sent Liang Jian to the community where Huang Shaohua's house was located, and before Liang Jian got out of the car, the driver said, "Drink more." Liang Jian smiled and said, "You can also relax tonight." ”

Coming downstairs to Huang Shaohua's house, Liang Jian couldn't help but be excited, before the Spring Festival last year, he also came here for dinner, and it was Huang Shaohua's daughter Huang Yiting who sent him downstairs that night. Now it is here again, as if the time of more than a year has been compressed, and it seems very short.

"Tut-tut-toot-toot......" There is a car reversing.

This is a sky blue Volkswagen Golf, and judging by the bright color of the paint, this car is still a new car.

In recent years, the number of cars in various communities in Jingzhou City has surged, and parking difficulties have become one of the many livelihood problems. For example, this Golf is going to be parked, the car is parked in front and behind, and if you look around the community, most of the locations have been parked, some have simply rushed to the turf, and all the places where you can park have been parked. Only between this car, probably because the distance is too small, few people dare to stop.

Because of the small spacing, this car has been reversed and moved many times, all of which have ended in failure. Liang Jian stood on the side and watched for a while, thinking it was quite interesting. The owner of the small car does not seem to be a person who will give up lightly, and if he can't stop, he will come out again, and then stop......

Liang Jian estimated that if he went to park by himself, he would be able to park it about once, no more than twice, which was related to the experience of driving. Liang Jian guessed that the owner should be a novice. Thinking so, Liang Jian wanted to help. He stepped forward and knocked on the car door.

A long-haired girl inside heard a knock on the door, turned her head in a daze, and when she saw Liang Jian, a sunny smile instantly bloomed on her face, and her original gloom was swept away. She pushed the car door and got out of the car: "Brother Liang Jian!"

Huang Yiting was dressed in a white sweater, blue jeans, and a pair of high heels, which looked extremely eye-catching. I haven't seen her for more than a year, Huang Yiting is more youthful and sunny, shining with dazzling light in this winter evening.

Liang Jian took his eyes off Huang Yiting, looked at the car and said, "Have you bought a car?" Huang Yiting said with a sweet smile: "Yes, it's easier to go home." After graduating from university, Huang Yiting was admitted to the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission and worked in Ningzhou. Her parents are in Jingzhou, so they need a car to get around.

Liang Jian pointed to the car and said, "Do you want to pour in?" Huang Yiting was a little shy: "Yes, but my driving skills are too bad, and I still look like this after reversing a few times." ”

Liang Jian said with a smile: "Everyone has this time, open it for a while, and you will be familiar." That's it, I'll help you pour it this time!" Huang Yiting smiled: "That's great." ”

Liang Jian sat in the golf and smelled the unique fragrance of the girl in the car. Liang Jian concentrated, drove the car out first, then estimated the parking space from the rearview mirror, put it into reverse gear, turned right, released the brake, turned left, and the car easily entered the parking space, Liang Jian pulled the handbrake, closed the window and door, and handed the key to Huang Yiting.

Huang Yiting looked at the car that had been parked and boasted: "Brother Liang Jian's driving skills are really good!" Liang Jian smiled and said: "If you drive for another year, I'm afraid you will be better than me." Huang Yiting said: "Brother Liang Jian, let's hurry up, my parents are probably waiting." ”

"Good Ratcha. ”

Huang Yiting took out the New Year's goods from the trunk, maybe they were issued by the unit. She is a girl after all, so many things can't be held, so Liang Jian will help take them.

Liang Jian also brought some gifts with him, which will be big and small, and it feels a bit like a young couple going home for the New Year.

Sure enough, when she walked up the stairs, an aunt saw Huang Yiting coming back and greeted her very warmly: "Hey, Yiting is back?" Huang Yiting smiled: "Yes, Aunt Liu, it's almost the New Year, are you busy?" Aunt Liu looked at Liang Jian and smiled: "Yiting, have you brought your boyfriend back?"

Huang Yiting's face suddenly turned red: "Aunt Liu, it's not what you think." Aunt Liu smiled: "Yiting, don't be shy, everyone has this stage, it's good to have a boyfriend, don't be shy......" insisted on defining Liang Jian as Huang Yiting's boyfriend, didn't let her explain, and hurriedly went downstairs.

Huang Yiting and Liang Jian glanced at each other, speechless, and went upstairs.

Huang Shaohua and his wife Dai Juan had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them entering the door together, Dai Juan hurriedly let them in. Huang Shaohua was already opening the wine: "It's time for dinner, don't drink the tea first, eat a good meal and then drink it, how about it?"

Liang Jian said: "Listen to Brother Huang." When he arrived at home, Liang Jian was not polite, put his things down, and sat down directly at the table.

Huang Yiting went to the room and changed her coat and came out. The four of them sat down and gathered around a table of sumptuous dishes, such as clear water river shrimp, boiled fish, braised mutton, garlic spinach, and dry pot cauliflower...... Liang Jian said: "Today is really rich!"

Huang Yiting said: "Dad, I brought a bottle of good wine over today, why don't you taste it too?" Huang Shaohua had already opened a small bottle of Moutai: "I have already opened a bottle." Huang Yiting said: "We will drink this bottle, and I will bring you a little wine." ”

Huang Shaohua asked in surprise: "What kind of wine?" Huang Yiting said: "It was given to me by a friend, French wine, guaranteed authentic." When Dai Juan heard this, she said, "Yiting, you know that your father can't drink!" Huang Shaohua looked at the wine that Huang Yiting put on the table, and there was some hesitation in his eyes.

Huang Yiting said: "Aren't you happy today? Brother Liang Jian, do you say?" Liang Jian didn't know how to answer, just smiled.

Huang Shaohua took Huang Yiting's red wine in his hand and said, "Today, my daughter gave me wine, I am really happy." However, since I have promised your mother and you, I will never drink again. I won't drink it, but this bottle of wine, I will put it on my desk, I can see it at any time, and I will think of my good daughter. ”

Dai Juan on the side smiled happily: "Shaohua!" Huang Yiting looked at her father with blazing eyes: "Dad, I'm proud of you." I wanted to convince you to drink, but your insistence on not drinking made me think you were amazing. ”

Huang Shaohua stretched out his hand and nodded on his daughter's nose: "You mother and daughter don't praise me as an old man! I will pour you wine, you drink, I will do a good job of serving you today." Liang Jian smiled and said: "Let the director be our waiter, we also enjoy it too much." ”

Dai Juan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm the leader at home." Everyone laughed.

The food is good, the wine is good, and the people are better.

Although Huang Shaohua doesn't drink alcohol, Liang Jian's wine is not less drunk at all. One is because Huang Shaohua poured him a lot of wine, and the other was to drink with two women, and they persuaded him to finish drinking, but he was embarrassed not to drink. Liang Jian knew that they didn't want to get him drunk, they just wanted to show happiness and warmth...... Thinking of this family, once because of Huang Shaohua's illness, they fell into a haze, and now that the sun is shining, they must be full of gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

And the person who helped them get through those hazy years was Liang Jian. Therefore, they invite Liang Jian to dinner before the Spring Festival every year to show their gratitude to him!

When the wine reached seven points, Dai Juan suddenly said to Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, when will you help me persuade Yiting, she will find a partner." When Yiting heard her mother say this, she said, "Mom, you're here again." On the phone, you force marriage every day, and today you finally have an early Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and you also come to force marriage. Forced marriage is not right. ”

Dai Juan shook her head and said to Liang Jian: "Look, my daughter, why can't she listen to me like this! Liang Jian, you help me persuade you." Liang Jian smiled bitterly: "Sister Dai, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to persuade you! You see, I'm also single now!"

Hearing Liang Jian say this, Sister Dai was embarrassed and glanced at Huang Shaohua. Huang Shaohua nodded and said, "Liang Jian, you are single because the other party is not good, I understand all of this." However, I think that when it comes to talking about the object and marriage, let the daughter decide for herself, and the two of us will not interfere when we are old!"

Dai Juan glanced at Huang Shaohua in frustration, obviously dissatisfied with his words. Huang Yiting smiled and climbed on her father's shoulder: "It's better to be a father!" Dai Juan said: "Look at you." ”

Huang Shaohua said: "We won't talk back today, it's almost the New Year, let's have a good meal." Drink a little more. Liang Jian raised the wine in his glass and said, "I respect your happy family!"

Huang Yiting said: "You are also a member of our family, in fact, we have long regarded you as our own! Let's drink together!"

Huang Shaohua and Dai Juan glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised by Huang Yiting's words. Huang Yiting saw her parents' strange gaze and lowered her head shyly. Liang Jian also realized that there were some easily misunderstood elements in Huang Yiting's words, so he hurriedly said: "I still respect you and wish you a happy New Year and a happy family in advance!"

As usual, Huang Yiting sent Liang Jian down. Walking downstairs, the snow was flying, and Huang Yiting ran a few steps in front excitedly, leaving shallow footprints behind her. Huang Yiting turned around and opened her arms suddenly, her face flushed from drinking, and her snow-white clothes made Liang Jian, who was very drunk, feel that this girl was like a fairy.

Huang Yiting's voice was full of excitement: "Brother Liang Jian, why does it snow every time you come to my house?" This is obviously a little girl's question, Liang Jian is not easy to answer, so he said: "It's almost the New Year! There are many days of snow." ”

Huang Yiting slowed down and approached Liang Jian, who stopped. Huang Yiting said: "Brother Liang Jian, do you remember that on the rooftop of the city's first hospital, I told you a word?"

Of course, Liang Jian will not forget Jì, that time Huang Yiting said that she would marry him. There are some words that I have forgotten after hearing them, but there are some words that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Liang Jian said: "Of course I do. ”

Huang Yiting said: "Then tell me, what did I say at the time?"

Liang Jian is generally not too timid in front of girls, but in the face of Huang Yiting, he is really afraid. He was afraid of associating with her, and if he was not careful, he would hurt her, or hurt his old leader's family. So, he can't talk nonsense.

Huang Yiting will stand under a camphor tree, and the snowflakes are flying in the light, this is Huang Yiting, in his heart, she is the kind of pure snowflake-like existence. And he felt like mud in the snow, having experienced too much, and his heart became empty and muddy.

Liang Jian said: "I remember what you said at the time. Don't forget jì. Huang Yiting said: "I haven't changed, what I said at that time was not said casually, nor was it to repay your concern for our family, I really like you, Brother Liang Jian." I want you to marry me. ”

Liang Jian's heartbeat lost its steady rhythm.

Liang Jian didn't expect Huang Yiting to confess to him like this. He thought, how can I Liang Jian, how can I be virtuous, I am just a gangster in the officialdom, a man who is not emotionally focused, how can I be worthy of the love of a girl as pure as you like a petal? Liang Jian looked at Huang Yiting, his heart was surging, but he still said firmly: "The two of us are not suitable, I am a divorced man." ”

Huang Yiting also stared at Liang Jian firmly: "I don't care if you're divorced or not, what I care about is you." Liang Jian said: "But I think that a person is composed of the present and the past, I am like a stained piece of paper, and you are a blank piece of paper." ”

Huang Yiting smiled slightly: "I won't force you, but I will wait for you." ”

Huang Yiting has always been so understanding, she will tell you her thoughts directly, without the slightest tie, and at the same time she will not be too entangled, she has patience to wait for you. This is what Liang Jian is most afraid of, this kind of girl has an unquestionable confidence and tenacity, which makes you have to like it, admire it, and think about it, but Liang Jian still can't make any concessions.

To put it bluntly, he feels that he is no longer worthy of a girl like Huang Yiting.

Sitting in a taxi, Jacky Cheung's love song was playing soothingly on the radio, Liang Jian looked at the snowy street scene, and Huang Yiting's smile and Huang Yiting's eyes appeared in his mind from time to time......

"What Yiting said just now, is it her true words?" Lying on the bed, Dai Juan still couldn't sleep.

Huang Shaohua couldn't sleep either, owes a debt, and talked to his wife: "I don't know, maybe she just sees Liang Jian as a big brother, right?" Dai Juan said: "I don't think it, you say, she is always dragging her feet on the person she talks to, will it really have anything to do with Liang Jian?"

Huang Shaohua chewed slightly: "I think this possibility is not impossible, but it is not very big, after all, the two of them get along so little, and the age difference is so big." ”

Dai Juan said: "You are wrong. Today's little girls like men who are a little more mature than themselves, and even more so they just like uncles. Huang Shaohua said: "Liang Jian is still young, but the uncle can't reach it, right?" Dai Juan said: "But he is indeed much older than our Yiting, maybe Yiting just likes Liang Jian." ”

Huang Shaohua smiled: "Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. I think Liang Jian is also very good. He is my apprentice. Dai Juan said: "You, didn't you let him call you the eldest brother? If he is really with Yiting, the seniority is not messed up!" Huang Shaohua: "This is just a title, if you are really with Yiting, just change it." So, you also agree that Liang Jian and Yiting are together?"

Dai Juan said: "Of course. Liang Jian's child is really good! He divorced before, also because the woman was not good and too powerful. If Yiting can really be with Liang Jian, I think she should be happy. ”

Huang Shaohua said: "That's good." Let's not worry about it, just wait and see. The two elders made up their minds, and fell asleep after a while.

The Spring Festival finally arrived, and Liang Jian returned to his hometown to bask in the sun under the withered pomegranate trees in the yard. Except for the text messages on Chinese New Year's Eve, no one harassed him.

At lunchtime, her mother Shao Xiaoqin said: "Your cousin Cai Fenfen is much more down-to-earth now." She is doing a red wine business in Quzhou City by herself, and she seems to be doing well. Liang Jian asked, "He opened a store in downtown Quzhou?"

Shao Xiaoqin said: "There is no regular storefront, it seems that there is something to shop...... I can't tell......

Liang Jian couldn't help laughing: "What kind of Taomi, it's a Taobao store, right? It's that kind of online store." Shao Xiaoqin said: "Anyway, I don't know, do I want to make you a cup of smoked bean tea?"

The smoked bean tea in his hometown tasted very delicious, so Liang Jian made a smile at his mother and said, "Thank you, Mom." Shao Xiaoqin said: "Little lazy devil! I don't pour tea myself!"

"Our Liang Jian is already very diligent! Working hard alone, if you don't soak it, I'll go soak it!" said Liang Dongfang, who was repairing a wooden stool on the side, to his wife. Liang Dongfang is more skillful, and he also likes to do the tinkering work at home, on a sunny day during the Spring Festival, under the bright sun, he repairs a crooked bench there, while listening to the conversation between the mother and son, and interjects from time to time.

Shao Xiaoqin said to Liang Dongfang: "You will feel sorry for your son! Do you think I don't make you tea?"

"Those who know me, my wife too!" Liang Dongfang laughed, "Please, wife, bring me a cup of delicious smoked bean tea!"

Liang Jian said, "I can't stand you anymore!" he said, standing up and stretching.

Two relatively peaceful horns sounded at the door. Then the front of a small red car peeked out from the gate of the courtyard. Liang Jian wondered whose car was this?

Liang Jian walked towards the door and opened the courtyard door. A woman in a yellow coat and lake-green leather boots was getting out of the car. When Liang Jian saw it, he almost didn't recognize it as his cousin Cai Fenfen.

Today's cousin is without makeup, without grease and powder, and the skin on her face looks very thin under the sun. The cousin, who has always been greased and powdered, has a small and fresh appearance today, which makes people shine.

Cai Fenfen looked at Liang Jian's somewhat strange expression and said with a smile: "Cousin, you don't know me anymore?"

Liang Jian calmed down and said with a smile: "It's almost unrecognizable, the main reason is that you look plain, it's better than makeup!"

Cai Fenfen walked to the trunk to get the gift: "Thank you, cousin, for the compliment." ”

Cai Fenfen came to visit this time, and she really took a lot of things, including red wine, packages, and clothes. The clothes seem to have been given to Liang Jian's mother, Shao Xiaoqin. Shao Xiaoqin saw it and said to Cai Fenfen: "Fenfen, what are you doing, bringing so many things!"

Cai Fenfen said: "I am usually busy with work, and I don't respect my aunt enough! These things are nothing, they are not valuable!" Liang Dongfang also came out and said: "Fenfen, don't take anything in the future, just bring someone here!"

Shao Xiaoqin went in to make tea and said to her husband: "Let's put aside the matter of repairing the stool first, and hurry up and cook!" Liang Dongfang followed Shao Xiaoqin into the kitchen: "Yes, yes, hurry up and cook!"

Liang Jian and Cai Fenfen bask in the sun and drink tea on bamboo chairs under pomegranate trees. The sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is warm. Liang Jian said to Cai Fenfen: "I feel that after you came back from Jingzhou, your condition is much better." ”

Cai Fenfen smiled: "It's okay." Those days in Jingzhou made me understand a lot. In the past, I thought that in doing business, we must have a good relationship with the people in the officialdom, and I didn't mean that only by combining government and business could we make money? But in those days, I finally understood a truth, the combination of government and business, which is a sick relationship. After I came back, I was still dealing in red wine in a small book, but now I don't take the road of government and business, I take the road of the public. ”

Liang Jian nodded slightly and said, "I heard my mother say, you opened an online store?" Cai Fenfen said: "This is thanks to Taobao." I'm making red wine on Taobao right now. The wine I make is cheap and of good quality, and I sometimes go to France to import red wine, and although at the moment, I am earning about the same amount as the money I invested, and I don't make much, but I believe it will get better. The online business environment is much better, as long as you do a good job in price and quality, someone will naturally give you good reviews and promote for you. ”

Liang Jian smiled: "It seems that you have found a good way." Cai Fenfen said with a smile: "The main reason is that I feel too tired to engage in relationships, but now that I feel like I am doing business." ”

The two chatted for a while, Liang Jian felt that Cai Fenfen had really changed a little, she was more mature than before, the girl who was ambitious and had a strong material desire has now become very plain and insightful, Liang Jian is very pleased.

For lunch, Cai Fenfen took out the red wine, she said, this red wine is not a very expensive wine, only about 100 yuan, but the quality is okay, she bought it from a winery in France. "Sometimes, things don't have to be expensive to be good," Cai said. ”

After tasting it, Liang Jian really felt that it tasted good.

After a while, Liang Jian's mother Shao Xiaoqin asked: "Fenfen, you are doing well in your career now, how is your boyfriend talking?" Cai Fenfen glanced at Liang Jian, and said shyly: "Today, I also want to tell Uncle Sù, Aunt and Brother Liang Jian about something, I am about to get engaged!"

Shao Xiaoqin and Liang Dongfang looked at each other and said, "That's good, that's good, I really want to congratulate our Fenfen." With that, they toasted Cai Fenfen's wine together. Cai Fenfen told Liang Jian's parents about the date of the engagement, "You two always have to come, if Brother Liang Jian is free, you must also come." Liang Jian said: "Congratulations, congratulations, I, when you get married, it will be coming, and I won't be able to come when you get engaged." ”

Cai Fenfen said: "That's fine! However, if you want to toast me alone today, you should drink it for that day." Liang Jian said: "Okay, but you drove today, so you should drink less." Cai Fenfen said: "It's okay, I'll doze off here in the afternoon before leaving, the sun is warm in the yard, just right for dozing." ”

Shao Xiaoqin said: "Okay, no problem, you just doze off and go after dinner." Cai Fenfen was also polite: "Okay!"

Shao Xiaoqin said with feeling: "Fenfen is also about to get married, I don't know, when will we Liang Jian get married?" Liang Jian smiled: "Mom, I have already been married." Shao Xiaoqin said: "Aren't you already leaving? Liang Jian, do you have a new girlfriend?" Cai Fenfen interjected: "The girls chasing Brother Liang Jian are lined up in the back!"

Liang Jian said: "Don't talk nonsense!" Shao Xiaoqin said: "Liang Jian, mom and your dad are looking forward to being able to lead their grandsons and granddaughters!" Liang Jian suddenly felt a posture of forced marriage. He said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm looking for a better one." ”

Liang Dongfang said: "Xiaoqin, my son is right, he has already had an experience, and if he looks for it again this time, he must find a real one." Shao Xiaoqin also agreed: "The main thing is that people are good!"

Next, they chatted about some things that Liang Jian was not very interested in, but the homely chat was like this, and Liang Jian didn't care too much. Drink well, eat well, and bask in the sun in the yard again. In the evening, my cousin did not drink and left after eating. Liang Jian watched the headlights become smaller, but he blessed this cousin, hoping that her next road would be smooth and safe.

The Spring Festival passed quite quickly, and when he was about to return to Jingzhou, Liang Jian said to his parents: "Mom and Dad, in two months, you will all move to Jingzhou!"

Shao Xiaoqin glanced at his wife and said to Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, I have discussed it with your father. We won't move there for the time being. You see, the two of us have always been in the countryside, and although we are a little old, we are not even able to take care of ourselves. What's more, the air in the countryside is good, the water is good, the people are familiar, there is farm work to do, and sweating every day is also good for health. We were worried that we wouldn't fit in when we got to the city. Since you don't get married and have children for the time being, let's stay here, and when you have a baby, we'll think about it and take care of the child for you, what do you think?"

This is also the truth, the two old people have been living in the countryside, and they have to move them to the city, which reminds people of the truth that "oranges are born in the south of the Yangtze River and oranges are born in the north of the Yangtze River". Thinking of this, Liang Jian said: "That's okay, anyway, you can come over whenever you want." ”

On the first day of work, Liang Jian arrived at the administrative center earlier than ever. On the first day after the Spring Festival, city leaders must go down to the grassroots level, contact counties, districts, towns and villages, and offer condolences.

Among the five counties and three districts, the county contacted by Mayor Hong is Nanshan County, and the district contacted is Changhu District. This county and a district are far apart, but Mayor Hong wants to run there in one day, because he went to Nanshan County first, and it was already more than four o'clock when he arrived in Changhu District in the afternoon.

The mayor came, and the main leaders of the four sets of teams came out to greet him. Although the higher authorities have repeatedly stipulated that the grassroots level should be light and simple, and the accompanying personnel should be reduced, the county and district leaders are still "courteous and thorough", and they have not yet reached the point where they can completely streamline the process, at least when the leaders get on the car, they should show their eyes and shake hands.

Liang Jian was surprised to find that there was one less important person who came to the door to greet Mayor Hong today.

Missing Zhou Qitong.

Hu Xiaoying said: "District Chief Zhou is not in good health, so I asked for leave today." Mayor Hong just said "um". After that, nothing more was said on this topic.

After meeting with the members of the four teams, Mayor Hong asked Hu Xiaoying to accompany them and let the members of their team go separately. Mayor Hong went to the town contact point and the village contact point to see it, and then turned back to the city.

The next day there was an industrial economic meeting, Mayor Hong returned to the city, went into the office to read the materials, and revised the presiding speech for the next day, but Liang Jian was empty.

In the office, Chen Hui was called by the deputy secretary general to watch the venue together, and Liang Jian was left alone in the office. For a moment, Liang Jian suddenly remembered Xiong Yeli. Since the last night of passion in Ningzhou, he has not had much contact with Xiong Yeli.

It's also quite a strange thing, and if you were someone else, you might stick together all day. But they didn't. In Liang Jian's heart, Xiong Yeli is a married woman after all. There may be something in Xiong Yeli's heart. So after that day, the two tacitly did not take the initiative to contact each other.

Liang Jian picked up his mobile phone, found out Xiong Yeli's number, and made up a text message: "Happy New Year." Then, I pressed a send button. Then there was a silent wait.

Xiong Yeli's text message did not reply to Liang Jian as scheduled. Could it be that something happened to Xiong Yeli? Maybe she didn't care about Xiong Yeli too much during this time, and she probably didn't want to pay attention to herself anymore. After such a cranky thought, Liang Jian calmed himself down. He smoked a cigarette, drank tea, and looked out the window.

At this time, the voice of the text message rang out. Liang Jian took his mobile phone and looked at it, and it was really Xiong Yeli who replied: "Happy New Year." I'm a little busy today, so I'll call you later. ”

It wasn't until it was almost time to get off work that Xiong Yeli's call came. She said that as soon as the Spring Festival comes up, there is more work, and it is necessary to sort out the broken ideas first. Liang Jian also understands that as long as he serves the leaders well, the work can be regarded as complete, but the work of the organization department is very cumbersome, especially as the director, first of all, the line of the work must be sorted out, and then handed over to the people below to do.

Liang Jian said that he went to his hometown Quzhou once, and he didn't bother to contact her during the Spring Festival. This can be regarded as Liang Jian's apology. Xiong Yeli asked, are there any arrangements for the evening?

Liang Jian said that there is no arrangement. However, Mayor Hong has a meeting tomorrow, and I don't know what time he will be able to finish. I'll have to wait for him.

Xiong Yeli said, I know this. No problem, you wait for him, I'll wait for you. When you're here, call me, and I'll be in the office.

After answering Xiong Yeli's call, Liang Jian's doubts disappeared. Just waiting for Mayor Hong's side to end, he went to meet Xiong Yeli, who was originally in a little wooden mood, but became a little excited at the moment.

Liang Jian originally thought that Mayor Hong would be busy until at least ** o'clock, but he didn't expect that as soon as the time to get off work came, Mayor Hong said to Liang Jian: "Today is the first day of work, let's not be too tight, let's do it today, I'll go back to the hotel." Liang Jian asked, "Do you need to revise the presiding words?" Mayor Hong said, "I'll just make a note myself." ”

After sending Mayor Hong back to the hotel, Liang Jian asked the driver to send him to Hefang Street. Hefang Street, a famous old street in Gyeongju City, has a classical charm, and now there are many special restaurants, cafes and bars here, turning it into a place with a petty bourgeois atmosphere.

When he was in the car, Liang Jian had already sent a text message to Xiong Yeli. Liang Jian walked into a restaurant called Golden Kitchen and found a small box to sit down. Ten minutes later, Xiong Yeli walked in, with a plain silk scarf tied around her neck, which made her face look more delicate.

Probably because of the cold outside, Xiong Yeli, who had just come in, was a little pale, and after a few sips of tea, she slowly got better, and her face turned pink.

Liang Jian ordered a few simple dishes, most of them were big fish and meat during the New Year, Liang Jian thought that Xiong Yeli probably wanted to eat something lighter. Xiong Yeli saw the menu ordered by Liang Jian, but said, "I really want to eat some meat today, why don't you have some tender cowboy bones!"

Liang Jian asked curiously: "Haven't you eaten enough fish and meat this Spring Festival?" Xiong Yeli said: "This Spring Festival, I am in Jingzhou, I haven't gone anywhere, and my relatives haven't left." I cooked my own food every day, drank porridge for many days, and felt that there was no oil and water in my stomach!"

Liang Jian looked at Xiong Yeli, savored the meaning of her words, and then said, "Okay, let's order some big fish and meat today!" Xiong Yeli showed a sweet smile: "Okay, I can finally eat you today!"

When the food came up, Xiong Yeli had an excellent appetite, and even gobbled it up a little, she also clinked glasses with Liang Jian, took a big sip of wine, and then continued to eat. Liang Jian smiled: "You really don't know the taste of meat in October!"

Xiong Yeli said: "How could I lie to you! Liang Jian looked interesting, so he picked up vegetables and poured wine for her, it was hard to imagine that a director of the second cadre department would be hungry like this. Xiong Yeli said: "You're welcome, eat." Liang Jian poured her wine and said, "You don't care about me, I'll eat." ”

After Xiong Yeli was full of wine and food, she wiped her mouth with a tissue: "I'm full." Thank you!" Liang Jian smiled: "Seeing you eat like this, I feel that eating is a kind of happiness." Xiong Yeli said: "Eating is a kind of happiness." Liang Jian said: "Then don't you become a foodie?"

Xiong Yeli said: "What's wrong with foodies? Foodies are actually quite happy." Recently, I saw a book about foodies, about Savarran, the originator of foodies in France, and it is said that once Savarland fell ill, and the doctor advised him to go on a diet. A friend went to visit him, and he was eating a fat Le Mans chicken. The friend was furious, 'That's how you dieted as a sick person?' and Savaran replied, 'My dear friend, don't you see that I'm living on barley and buckwheat?', 'How do you explain this chicken?' 'It's been living on barley and buckwheat for two months, and I'm living on him now!'
