The car drove down the highway and entered the city, it was already the beginning of the lights, Qi Tianxiang raised his wrist and looked at the table, thought for a while and said to Xiao Wang: "Let's go to Hebai Shopping Center and turn around, I'll go buy something." [Ran^Text^Library] []”

Xiao Wang didn't speak, but just adjusted the direction and drove to Hebai Shopping Center, Xiao Zhang turned around and said puzzledly: "It's already this point, let's send you home first!" If you need to buy anything, Xiao Wang and I will buy it and send it to you. ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, looking at Xiao Zhang without speaking. There is no way to say one, and the other is difficult to say. Tomorrow is Yan Li's fortieth birthday, and she was so busy that she almost forgot, but fortunately she came back today, otherwise she would have missed it.

Qi Tianxiang felt a little guilty, but also a little deeply frightened, worried about his carelessness, and uneasy about the recent changes. Over the years, Qi Tianxiang has always bought some small gifts on Yan Li's birthdays and holidays, and he can always surprise Yan Li and get some unexpected happiness. This is also Qi Tianxiang deliberately created the post-marriage environment and atmosphere, in Qi Tianxiang's view, women are used to pet, but also used to coax, the specific performance of love after marriage is pampering, is the creation of the atmosphere, whether it is a cardamom girl, or a young woman after marriage, what is needed is the romance of accidents and surprises, as well as a happy atmosphere.

It's just that recently, especially after becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the domineering brought by power and position, as well as various things that are busy and clueless, make my feelings gradually roughen, and the warmth is slowly driven away by the so-called official authority. Qi Tianxiang was a little frightened, always worried that he would be sharpened by officialdom and become unapproachable, or even become snobbish, or lose his heart of profit.

Fortunately, it seems that God has given Qi Tianxiang a hint today, he feels that he can't give up this opportunity, and he shouldn't ignore the opportunity to make up for it.

After the Audi car stopped in the square in front of Hebai Shopping Center, Qi Tianxiang got out of the car, and waited for Xiao Wang to park the car before slowly walking into the shopping center. Although I felt that it was a little redundant, I still consciously complied with the new security regulations recently issued by the provincial party committee. Since a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee was injured in an attack on a hotel in Hezhou not long ago, the provincial party committee has re-established security measures, and cadres at and above the standing committee level must be accompanied by two or more people when entering and leaving public places, and if necessary, the driver must be replaced by an active armed police soldier. Qi Tianxiang rejected the suggestion to change the driver and continued to keep Xiao Wang as the driver, which made Xiao Wang extremely grateful, more attentive and conscientious than usual.

Walking into the shopping mall, Qi Tianxiang walked straight to the precious metal counter, quickly chose a platinum brooch, asked the waiter to put it into the jewelry box, and carefully packaged it with colored paper and ribbons, and then calmly swiped the card, and turned around and walked out of the mall with the gift box with satisfaction.

Because he did not hesitate, it was because he accompanied Yan Li out to change the street not long ago, walked to this counter, and also saw and tried on this brooch, and looked very satisfied, but he was a little staggered by the price of more than 4,000 yuan, and he also resolutely refused Qi Tianxiang's persuasion, and he was reluctant to leave reluctantly, but his eyes clearly showed longing. Qi Tianxiang didn't insist too much, because he had already thought about this day and the surprise he wanted to apply to Yan Li.

But such a thing was almost forgotten, Qi Tianxiang still blamed himself a little, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhang's kind ridicule, he really wanted to take this apology home.

"It's still Secretary Qi, I don't forget to be romantic in my busy schedule, this person hasn't arrived home, the gift is ready, do you say that Teacher Yan can't be ecstatic, can he not be a happy mess?" After speaking, he sighed deeply, as if he sighed with self-pity, "It seems that Xiao Wang and I will never be able to match it." ”

"Don't say strange things, who is a weekend, and chickens and ducks, and fish to the home, personally cook a large table of delicious, the name of the baby to replenish the body, God knows that more than a year old baby needs to be supplemented by big fish and meat, and I don't know if it is for a small baby, or a big baby!" Qi Tianxiang responded with ridicule, saw Xiao Wang's uncontrollable smile from the rearview mirror, and said slowly: "There are also comrades, as long as they have time, they will accompany their daughter-in-law to go shopping on the street, and they carry it on their shoulders, which is harder than that of a porter. ”

A teasing ridicule with a gun and a stick immediately made the atmosphere in the car cheerful, Xiao Zhang has not eased up, Xiao Wang preemptively complained about his bitterness, "Secretary Qi can't be so eccentric, I'm a coachman, the lowest level here, so I can only do some hard work with big bars, and we can't do anything else!" ”

"Caring for daughters-in-law regardless of level, we are the level of big fish and big meat, at best, it is still subsistence type, unlike some leading comrades, elegant jewelry, but also exquisite packaging, from the inside to the outside are elegant, with emotion, this level is the example and model of young people!" Xiao Zhang's response was sour, full of envy, and with deep admiration.

"That's how it should be, you young people should study hard." Qi Tianxiang smiled with satisfaction and said softly: "A daughter-in-law is used to pamper, no matter how much she spoils, she can't spoil too much." You said that a big girl who is like a flower and jade, has worked hard in the greenhouse of her parents' house for more than 20 years, and when it is time to repay her mother's father's kindness, why do you have to come to serve us, I really think that we are Jia Baoyu, who is the changing waiter of Shenying, and wants Lin Daiyu to repay with a lifetime of tears. The Shenying waiter has also watered the Zhuzhu fairy grass, what have we done in the past 20 years, let the budding flowers come to give birth to our children and worship our parents, so let's not get carried away, we must take care of the flowers carefully, so that the flowers can be more delicious and the fragrance can be stronger. ”

"I really listened to some of your words, and I learned a lot from reading a book for twelve years, and I benefited a lot." Xiao Zhang shook his head and teased, laughing happily with Xiao Wang.

The atmosphere in the car is relaxed and cheerful, which is also the atmosphere deliberately created by Qi Tianxiang, especially the emotions of the people around him, not only need to be effectively mobilized, but also need to be created by the leaders with their hearts, after all, they need to communicate and relax after the tension of work.

Talking and laughing like this, they soon arrived downstairs in the family courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang got out of the car, watched Qi Tianxiang go upstairs, and then slowly drove away.

Because he called Yan Li on the way, he saw the lights on in his house downstairs just now, and believed that Yan Li was preparing dinner. Thinking about the warm dinner and the surprise of unexpected gifts, tonight must be a passionate night, Qi Tianxiang felt a warm current surging in his body, from his heart to his lower abdomen, he was about to move.

When I entered the door, I was changing my shoes in the hallway, and I heard a sweet call, "Brother-in-law, I'm back." ”

A brother-in-law immediately called Qi Tianxiang out, and then saw Hao Han's smiling face, as well as Yan Li's soft and warm smile, and the two came out of the living room together.

"Don't move yet, let me see." Qi Tianxiang waved his hand to stop Yan Li and Hao Han approaching each other, and looked at it with a slightly serious face: "Lack a little mist and rain, less spring green embellishments, if there are some props such as flower paper umbrellas and flower hoes, it is simply flawless, natural, regret, too confusing." As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang's expression became more and more serious, and his tone gradually filled with deep unease, making Yan Li and Hao Han stunned, looking at Qi Tianxiang in confusion, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Qi Tianxiang burst out into a hoarse laugh, and pointed at the two of them trembling with laughter and said, "Otherwise, otherwise it would be Qiu Shizhou's "Shuangshi Spring Tour". ”

"You, you hate." Yan Li first came to her senses, knowing that she was tricked by Qi Tianxiang, her face immediately flew into a blush, and she stretched out her hand to hit Qi Tianxiang coquettishly, but Qi Tianxiang dodged and walked quickly to the sofa in the living room and sat down, still laughing and leaning back and forth, and only stopped after a long time, and said proudly: "I just said that my left eyelid kept jumping today, and when I entered the door, I realized that I had changed from a senior brother to a brother-in-law, it turned out that Qiu Shizhou sent me a little sister-in-law, hahaha." ”

"Look at you, as for you, I see that Sister Yan is closer than you, isn't that okay?" Hao Han was fooled by Qi Tianxiang, and immediately felt both happy and aggrieved, and even more impressed by Qi Tianxiang's wit and humor, and couldn't help but ridicule him, "Such a big senior cadre, it turns out that this is how to bully women comrades at home, it seems that I have really increased my knowledge, and I will get a consultation from the Provincial Women's Federation when I go back, and see if they care about this matter?" ”

"They may be able to manage bullying housewives, but they probably won't be able to manage bullying sisters-in-law, and they may not be able to manage it." Qi Tianxiang said with a hippie smile, Qi Tianxiang's interest today is very good, not only because of seeing Hao Han, but also because of the smooth progress of this research work, and being able to rush back to compensate for Yan Li's birthday, I feel that I have returned to the wonderful moment when I was chic and handsome and full of economy in the college.

"Okay, okay, you two don't be poor, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Yan Li laughed and played in the round, she was happy to see Qi Tianxiang arguing with others, when she was in the academy before, she could often hear his witty and humorous ridicule, as well as jokes with teachers or students, no matter how big or small, she was happy to see his wit and sharpness, I hadn't seen him so happy for a long time.

Qi Tianxiang came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, Yan Li and Hao Han had already brought a plate of delicious food to the table, and immediately the deliciousness, food, and beauty complemented each other, Qi Tianxiang happily looked at the delicious food on the table, as if talking to himself, and as if he was proposing, he teased: "The best taste meets the beautiful woman, should you have a few drinks, so as to be worthy of this beautiful scenery!" ”

After getting the approval of Yan Li and Hao Han, Qi Tianxiang went to the storage room and took out a bottle of red wine, and boasted as he walked: "Domestic dry red, five-year oak barrel cellaring, although it is not as famous as Lafite, there is absolutely nothing to say about the taste and quality, and there is absolutely no risk of fake wine." ”

"You just blow it, my sister doesn't know, I don't know yet, you, a discipline inspection commission official who is as clear as water and as a mirror, no one dares to send it, it is estimated that it is only a few dozen yuan a bottle, and since Larafi, I also hugged a little bit before blowing, and I didn't make up for the leakage."

"This bar is almost the same, although the domestic red wine originated in the West, it has been brewed for more than 100 years since it was introduced to China at the beginning of the last century. Grape varieties, growing environment, brewing technology, and production technology can be completely comparable to famous French wineries. Qi Tianxiang said to himself: "Actually, as a domestic drinking environment, there are a few people who can taste the aroma of oak fruit wine, distinguish the degree of tannins, and distinguish between the brewing year and the storage year. ”

"Okay, will you just take the wine and explain it to us?" Yan Li interrupted Qi Tianxiang's eloquent conversation, and glanced at him with disgust, her eyes full of love, but she still couldn't hide her appreciation and approval for Qi Tianxiang.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept the two beauties waiting." Qi Tianxiang came back to his senses, and hurriedly poured a full glass of wine for Hao Han and Yan Li, and also got himself a glass. solemnly raised his glass and solemnly proposed, "For today's good day, for me to be promoted to the position of brother-in-law, and for me to have a beautiful sister-in-law, let's toast!" ”

After drinking the first glass of wine, Qi Tianxiang suddenly remembered something, looked at Hao Han and smiled slightly, first smiled, then laughed, and immediately smiled Hao Han, uneasily stretched out his hands to touch his face, and lowered his eyes to look around at himself, I don't know what was wrong that caused Qi Tianxiang to laugh, and his white face was as red as if it was smeared with pastel.

"No, it's not what you have." Qi Tianxiang hurriedly explained to Hao Han, turned his head and said to Yan Li, who was puzzled: "From the title of sister-in-law, it reminds me of the title of 'insider'. ”

Yan Li immediately understood what Qi Tianxiang said, and also heard Qi Tianxiang say that Hao Han made a joke when he was in Pingyuan County, so he couldn't help blushing slightly and slapped Qi Tianxiang's arm, and blamed him dissatisfiedly: "You are so annoying, which pot is not opened." ”

Hao Han finally understood the reason why Qi Tianxiang laughed, his already blushing face was more like a red cloth, and he also remembered the joke that Li Zheng made up a circle at the banquet in the plain, and couldn't help but be even more embarrassed and shy.

"Okay, okay, I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I'll punish myself." Qi Tianxiang apologized, poured a glass of red wine and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "No kidding, eat, eat." ”
