"It's a pity that such a small garden has become a hermit's vegetable garden! It's a pity! As soon as Fang Xiang walked into the small courtyard, he shook his head exaggeratedly when he saw the yard furnishings and farm tools for work, and pretended to be surprised and said: "I have heard of the vegetable garden becoming a garden, but I have never seen a garden become a vegetable garden. ”

Because Qi Tianxiang had greeted him in advance and informed Deputy Secretary Fang Xiang that he was going to visit his home, Yan Bonian sat on the recliner in the courtyard early and waited, Fang Xiang's words attracted Yan Bonian's attention, stood up and greeted him with a smile, held Fang Xiang's outstretched hand, shook it up and down, and responded: "All the people who come to visit my small courtyard praise me for being old and strong, old and old, and having fun in old age, only you old man said that I am violent and ruined, it seems that you are not taking the usual path!" ”

A few innocuous conversations immediately dispelled the strangeness of the first meeting, and also shortened the distance between the host and the visitor, so that the atmosphere quickly became harmonious, and the small courtyard was also full of cheerful laughter. [Ran^Text^Library] []

"The old leader's small courtyard is very distinctive! Elegant, secluded, just a little farther from the city, it's not so convenient to go back and forth. Fang Xiang looked at the well-planned yard and the neat environment, and said to Yan Bonian with a smile: "This grape, and the casual rocking chair under the grapes, does have the meaning of being quiet in the middle of noisy!" I don't know if I don't see it, the so-called big hidden in the court, hidden in the city, and small hidden in the forest, what I said is true! ”

"What is hidden, there are not so many words, the ultimate goal of concealment is to be exposed, whether it is to emerge or to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, I am a small farm yard, the old couple grows vegetables, do what they can, and take care of the whole year." Yan Bonian responded to Fang Xiang with a smile, and then added: "When I chose this place, I took a fancy to the quietness and good air here. ”

"Someone still takes good care of it, and when you get older, someone should ask for warmth." Fang Xiang continued: "Lao Zheng is a caring person! ”

"As long as the old leader doesn't complain about my good intentions, it's good!" Zheng Ming echoed with a smile, looked around the courtyard with interest, and said with emotion: "The courtyard is not big, but the breath of life is very strong, and the old leader is a person who knows how to live!" ”

"What knows how to live, it's just an old farmer." Yan Bonian smiled modestly and said with concern: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and sit!" It's very cloudy today, I'm afraid it's going to snow. ”

As he spoke, Yan Bonian let Fang Xiang and Zheng Ming into the house, both of them were modest and unwilling to go first, Yan Bonian had no choice but to walk forward, led them into the house, and led them directly to the study. Qi Tianxiang walked at the end, and after seeing Fang Xiang and Zheng Ming sitting down separately, he looked at Yan Bonian, and wanted to introduce Comrade Fang Xiang to him, but Yan Bonian stretched out his hand to block it, and turned his eyes to Fang Xiang and said gently: "I have already explained on the phone that Comrade Fang Xiang wants to visit me, an old man, except for Lao Zheng and you, there is only Comrade Fang here, and you still need to be introduced?" ”

Qi Tianxiang was a little embarrassed by Yan Bonian's robbery, and was in a dilemma, just when Zhang Wanfen came in with a teapot, he hurriedly took it, poured tea for Fang Xiang and Zheng Ming respectively, picked up Yan Bonian's teacup, refilled him with hot tea, and gently put it in front of him, and then slowly sat down on the sofa near the door.

"Old sister-in-law, I'm causing you trouble." Fang Xiang smiled and greeted Zhang Wanfen who came in: "I have long heard that your Haidong cuisine is authentic, but I didn't have the opportunity to taste it, but I have to work hard for you today." ”

"What is hard, commonplace, and there is nothing expensive." Zhang Wanfen said bluntly and politely: "As long as you, Secretary Fang, can get used to this taste." ”

"See? What is this called, this is called lifting weights lightly, only a master who is familiar with it can be treated so lightly. Fang Xiang turned his face to Zheng Ming and praised: "The old sister-in-law is not only capable, but also modest, and her skills are really not to be underestimated!" ”

"He is a hero inexplicably, and he has not learned a few times, and he can take care of the old leader so well." Zheng Ming echoed Fang Xiang's words, his eyes quickly fell between Zhang Wanfen and Yan Bonian, and he sincerely admired: "What did Qin Se Harmony say, and what did he say when he raised his eyebrows, the two elders of the family are called wind and rain together, hand in hand for good health!" ”

"You two don't sing and praise in harmony, and you are embarrassed to praise your wife." Yan Bonian smiled and said to Fang Xiang and Zheng Ming, it can be regarded as a relief for Zhang Wanfen, looking at Zhang Wanfen's eyes full of kindness and satisfaction, but his mouth said: "It's all some Haidong home-cooked food, that is, what I told Lao Zheng, they are all things that have been eaten in the past years, and now they have become good things, not to say that things are rare and expensive, at least to say that people's tastes and lifestyles have changed now, becoming complex and picky, or more diverse." ”

"The old leader is right, now it's time to eat the taste, to eat the taste, to find the taste of innocence in the tradition, as well as the authentic things." Fang Xiang took Yan Bonian's words and said meaningfully: "Spicy and fragrant taste is enjoyable, but enjoyment cannot always be the mainstream, and after enjoyment, you have to return to your original appearance." Spicy in the west and salty in the east, sweet in the south and sour in the north, it is not only a traditional eating habit, but also especially the climate and regional characteristics, which is the wealth accumulated by long-term life practice. After all, life is still plain, simple accounts for the majority, spicy and fragrant no matter how delicious, no matter how fatty the Western steak is, it can't occupy the people's table forever, and the stomach is still steamed bread gruel and small pickles. ”

"It's a bit interesting to say that food is not just about food, and tradition is not just about the past, it's very deep and intriguing." Yan Bonian glanced at Fang Xiang deeply, smiled at Zheng Ming and said: "It seems that Lao Fang is not only here for cabbage and prawns today, but also to discuss the humanistic environment and historical origin of this dish, as well as the inevitable and driving significance of reality after innovation today, isn't that so?" ”

"I seem to have heard some off-string sounds, but I haven't had time to think about it yet, and the old leader is still quick and old." Zheng Ming said to Yan Bonian with a smile, turned to look at Fang Xiang, and said meaningfully: "Diet has come to this day, change is the norm, and what does not change will naturally die, this is the inevitability of history, and it is also people's choice." Whether it is the noble food or the wine pond meat forest, it is not the norm, nor is it people's choice, but the coke ring, bean juice, steamed buns, and pickles reflect life and are close to life. The spicy and fresh fragrance is popular all over the country, and there is an inevitable result, and the price increase of ramen affects the hearts of the whole city, which is the result of full participation, and it is also the public opinion that promotes the diet for a long time. Existence is not necessarily reasonable, but reasonable must have its reason for existence. ”

"The old leader and Lao Zheng are also very thoughtful, and they understand it very thoroughly! Seeing the essence through phenomena is a law repeatedly verified by materialist dialectics, and it seems that we have forgotten in a hurry, perhaps not really forgetting, but the selective forgetting of some people. Fang Xiang didn't seem to stop there, but continued along the lines of conversation: "We are too easily confused by phenomena, and too easy to be satisfied with the prosperity of reality, and the painful forgetting is like day and night, as if this page has been turned, and this page will pass forever." Is it really over? Is abandoning tradition progress? Innovation can't be a source of water, right? Is it guaranteed that you can eat a better meal from scratch? ”

"No one can say for sure, if you say it accurately, someone will definitely grab the credit, but unfortunately not." Yan Bonian seemed to be a little angry, and his words became eager: "No one knows what tomorrow will look like, but we can't know what happened yesterday, because tomorrow is not a continuation of yesterday, but we must not be separated from yesterday, this should become a consensus!" ”

"So while being pragmatic, you must have time to retreat, otherwise you may lose your goal by burying your head in a hurry." Zheng Ming thought and said: "Slowing down some speeds at the right time, not to stop, but to speed up the preparatory stage, there is no speed contrast, blindly running at high speed, whether it is a car or a person will not be able to stand it." ”

"This is true, and it is also the insight of those who have come before, and it is a scientific method that theory and practice complement each other." Fang Xiang looked at Zheng Ming approvingly, turned his face and said to Yan Bonian with a smile: "Comrade Tianxiang is very good in this regard, not only has theoretical thinking, but also practical exploration, which is really rare. ”

"Don't boast, beware of praising his tail too much." Yan Bonian glanced at Qi Tianxiang solemnly, turned to Fang Xiang and said: "He just did what he should do, and he should do it well, and more importantly, through experience, he gradually understood what he should do and how to do it." ”

"There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, this is true, the old leader still has higher requirements!" Fang Xiang looked at Qi Tianxiang with appreciation, and said to Yan Bonian with satisfaction: "Whether it is the transformation of the gold group, or the reform of the cadre system in Huayi City, or the rectification of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, Comrade Tianxiang not only has ideas, but also is rigorous and pragmatic, which is rare." ”

"Yes, there are some new things to do recently, and the response is good." Zheng Ming said briefly, with a deep sense of approval in his tone.

"The two leaders set up a dragon gate formation with my father-in-law today, but don't get involved in my little thing." Qi Tianxiang couldn't sit still, stood up and refilled Fang Xiang and Zheng Ming's cups with hot water, and changed Yan Bonian's cups for tea, and said to Fang Xiang with some restraint: "I just did what I had to do, and it is the most basic requirement to seek government in his position, and there is really nothing to boast about." ”

Qi Tianxiang's words seemed to remind Yan Bonian, and he smiled and relieved him: "Don't talk about him, after all, he is still young, and he still needs to be spurred on." ”

Yan Bonian's words ended Fang Xiang's praise of Qi Tianxiang, and the study fell into a cold field for a while. Qi Tianxiang guessed that Fang Xiang and Zheng Ming might have something to say to Yan Bonian, so he excused himself to help his mother-in-law and left the study.
