Chen Qingdong walked over and said with a smile: "No need, Minister Chu, I've finished eating." [Latest chapter reading.]"

Chu Mingyuan was not reluctant, took a pair of chopsticks and pickles, and said, "Qingdong, sit down, you're welcome." You don't mind if I talk to you while eating, do you?"

Chen Qingdong didn't want to be too restrained by Chu Mingyuan's side, so he sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "Don't mind! Don't mind! Minister Chu, you eat slowly." But, Minister Chu, your supper at night is simple enough!"

Chu Mingyuan smiled and said: "Now I eat out all day long, all of them are big fish and meat, plus I inevitably have to drink, it's really too greasy, to be honest, I'm really tired of eating." For me, this bowl of millet porridge is the most fragrant and comfortable to drink! Especially after drinking, I don't want to eat anything, I like to drink a bowl of millet porridge boiled by your sister-in-law. ”

Chu Mingyuan's "your sister-in-law" made Chen Qingdong quite happy, and this is a very good signal! Chen Qingdong believes that there will definitely be people going to Chu Mingyuan's office or visiting Chu Mingyuan's home every day, but when Chu Mingyuan mentions Sun Haiqing, there are absolutely not many people who will say "your sister-in-law"!

Therefore, this shows that in Chu Mingyuan's heart, the relationship between them is also relatively close, and these may all be because of Chen Zhongning's relationship.

In addition to being happy, Chen Qingdong also exclaimed: "Minister Chu, what you said is so right! I also feel that the things I eat now are really greasy, and with frequent drinking, no matter how good the delicacies of the mountains and seas are, I can't taste the taste, and this bowl of millet porridge is the most comfortable to eat." ”

Chu Mingyuan glanced at Chen Qingdong and said, "Qingdong, your figure is not bad, don't pay more attention to it." I know that now the grassroots cadres are sent to and from all kinds of parties every day, and there are a lot of entertainments, and after a month, in fact, they really can't eat a few times at home, soak on the wine table every day, and usually neglect to exercise, and many people's figures are out of shape, and their health conditions are not ideal. If you are not in good health, you naturally don't have the energy to work, right?

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "What Minister Chu said is that I will pay more attention in the future." ”

At this time, Sun Haiqing made a cup of tea and brought it to Chen Qingdong, and just heard the second half of what Chu Mingyuan said, so he said: "How many times have I told Lao Chu, don't bring work to his house, he just can't remember, he loves to teach people the most, Qingdong, don't mind!"

Chen Qingdong stood up and took the tea, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Director Sun! Minister Chu didn't teach me a lesson, but gave me some good advice." ”

Chu Mingyuan smiled: "Qingdong is right, I'm not teaching Qingdong a lesson, I'm just telling Qingdong something about experience, don't take it out of context!"

The couple was obviously very affectionate, Sun Haiqing smiled and said, "Anyway, you always have a point." Then he said to Chen Qingdong: "Qingdong, you can sit down, you're welcome." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and nodded, and sat down.

After Chu Mingyuan finished eating, Sun Haiqing came over very virtuously and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then said: "Mingyuan, otherwise you and Qingdong will go to the study to chat, "Mansion Gate" is almost here, I want to watch it, but I'm afraid of disturbing your chat." ”

Chu Mingyuan picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't disturb you watching TV, let's go to the study to talk." Let's go, Qingdong, let's go to the study inside. ”

After speaking, Chu Mingyuan stood up.

Chen Qingdong was a little reluctant, because looking at the time, Chu Jian should be coming back from school, Chen Qingdong still wants to stay in the living room to take a picture with Chu Jian, if he goes to the study, then he may not be able to meet Chu Jian, the bureau that was set up before may not work this time.

However, of course, Chen Qingdong was embarrassed to disagree, so he had to say in his heart, "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen", so he stood up, said "yes", and followed Chu Mingyuan to the study.

After entering the study, Chu Mingyuan immediately closed the door, walked quickly to the window and opened the window.

Chen Qingdong was a little stunned, and he didn't know what kind of trick Chu Mingyuan was doing.

At this time, Chu Mingyuan returned to the desk, opened the drawer with the key, took out a box of cigarettes from it, and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law controls me very strictly at home and resolutely does not smoke, so I can only secretly smoke one in the study, hehe, Qingdong, let's have one." ”

Chen Qingdong secretly laughed at himself that he was really suspicious just now, it turned out that Chu Mingyuan was also a smoker with a lot of addiction! In the information that Zhao Changbin gave him, he said that Chu Mingyuan didn't like to smoke, and it seemed that he didn't know the situation too well, or he just heard about it from Chu Mingyuan's wife.

After taking the cigarettes, Chen Qingdong immediately took out a lighter, lit a fire for Chu Mingyuan, and said, "Minister Chu, Director Sun is also thinking about your health!"

Chu Mingyuan spit out a puff of smoke and nodded: "Yes, Qingdong, what you said is that your sister-in-law is a doctor, and she pays special attention to health, and she usually has very strict requirements for my life, just that bowl of millet porridge just now, in fact, it was also because I used to get drunk a lot, and after I came back, your sister-in-law boiled millet porridge, and I had to force me to drink a bowl, and after a long time, I developed a habit, hehe......"

Although Chu Mingyuan kept saying "your sister-in-law", Chen Qingdong didn't dare to call it that, and still called "Director Sun" with a smile: "Minister Chu has such a virtuous helper as Director Sun, which is really enviable!"

Chu Mingyuan smiled and said: "Our old husband and wife, without the romance of your young people, all that is left is these firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”

After all, Chu Mingyuan is a leader and an elder, Chen Qingdong is not good to continue this topic, so he smiled with him, and then opened his briefcase, took out the inkstone wrapped in kraft paper, opened it and put it on the table and said: "Minister Chu, I know that you like calligraphy very much, and you are still the vice chairman of our calligraphy association, so this time I came to pay you a New Year's greeting, and I brought you an inkstone, I hope you like it." ”

Chu Mingyuan is worthy of being an expert, he picked up this inkstone and looked at it, knocked on it twice, and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Xu Gongyan!"

Chen Qingdong praised: "Minister Chu is really powerful, you can see it at a glance." ”

Chu Mingyuan said with a smile: "Xu Gongyan is famous, and he can't become famous very early, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are many senior national leaders who respect Xu Gongyan very much, and he once gave it as a national gift." Moreover, the stone of Xu Gongyan is produced in Xu Gongdian Village, Qingtuo Town, Yinan County, Shandong Province, which is the town's unique mineral resources, which belongs to the basalt layer, which is also the origin of the name of Xu Gong Yan. This kind of stone, the stone is hard, the density is extremely high, the knock is crisp, its sound is like a chime, the ink is like a frustration, the ink is like oil, the color is fresh and moist, and it is not damaged, it can be called the top grade of the inkstone. I love to write calligraphy, and I have been in contact with all kinds of inkstones, so it is not unusual to be able to recognize this Xu Gong inkstone. ”

Chen Qingdong praised again: "Minister Chu is really knowledgeable, when it comes to the source and characteristics of Xu Gongyan, it is simply a treasure!"

Chu Mingyuan stroked this inkstone and said modestly: "Hehe, it's just some superficial knowledge, people who are familiar with Xu Gongyan should know this." However, Qingdong, when you called, didn't you say that you wanted to bring some land property from your hometown? Why did you bring Xu Gongyan?"

Chen Qingdong said: "Actually, my mother's family has lived in Yinan in Shandong Province for a long time, and my mother went to primary school in Yinan when she was a child, so it is reasonable to say that this is our family's local specialty." ”

Chu Mingyuan said with a smile: "It turns out that there is still this layer of origin." ”

In fact, Chen Qingdong said that there are still a lot of nonsense elements, although his mother did live in Linyi, Shandong Province for a few years, but the place where she lived was not Yinan County, but Yishui County, and it was not his mother's family who lived there, but when Chen Qingdong's grandfather was young, when he followed the People's Liberation Army to make a revolution, he was seriously injured in Yishui, stayed and lived for a long time, and later settled there for more than ten years.

When Chen Qingdong said this, he just found a random excuse to give this Xu Gongyan used by Guo Moruo to Chu Mingyuan.

Just now, when Chen Qingdong saw Chu Mingyuan looking at this Xu Gongyan, his eyes suddenly showed some strangeness, but he didn't show anything. So, Chen Qingdong guessed that it was possible that Chu Mingyuan had seen that this inkstone had some origins, and it was not an ordinary Xu Gongyan, but he couldn't be sure for a while, and he didn't want to pick out the words, so he didn't talk about this.

Chu Mingyuan asked again: "Qingdong, this Xu Gongyan was also brought by your mother from Yinan?"

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but smile slightly, knowing that this was Chu Mingyuan inquiring about the origin of this inkstone! Of course, he couldn't clearly tell Chu Mingyuan that this inkstone was used by Guo Moruo, if it was said thoroughly, then this inkstone would become a cultural relic, and the price would be high.

However, Chen Qingdong also has to mention something to Chu Mingyuan, let Chu Mingyuan know that this inkstone is indeed a little unusual, and more importantly, he wants Chu Mingyuan to know that he also knows that this inkstone is unusual, but he doesn't break it, and both of them tacitly know it, which is the best state.

So, Chen Qingdong said in a mysterious way: "This inkstone was not brought by my mother from Yinan, but when my grandfather was young, he rescued a professor who passed by Yinan, and it is said that the professor's leg was broken, and my grandfather found him and cured him, and let him stay at home until he recovered. My grandfather also studied for a few years, and this professor and my grandfather became friends because of this incident, and we exchanged letters a lot. About ten years ago, before his death, this professor asked someone to send this inkstone to my grandfather, and my grandfather later left the inkstone to me. ”

After saying this, Chen Qingran was a little drumming in his heart, he was not worried that Chu Mingyuan would not believe his words, but that he felt that he was really not blushing and his heart was not beating when he was panicking now, and his "realm" was so high that he didn't even know himself a little.
