The noon meal of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve was eaten at Qi Jie's house, the northern New Year, good wine and good dishes were all at noon at thirty noon, and on the first day of the new year, the second uncle called specially to ask Tang Yi to return to Yanjing for the New Year, saying that it was the meaning of the old lady, but Tang Yi thought about it again and again and refused, not that Tang Yi did not want to go home, he was looking forward to one day being able to reunite with Xiao Jinhua in Yanjing with the old lady, otherwise he was lively in Yanjing, and his mother was alone in a foreign land, how could it be a little unpleasant. And this year is indeed a bit busy, after the 15th Five-Year Plan, the construction of the new urban area will be started, the preparatory work is still in the process of intense progress, the party committee has already held a meeting, this year's New Year, the county party committee and county political axe departments will have a three-day holiday, to take the construction of the new urban area as the top priority.

Accompanied Father Qi to play a few games of chess, chatted with Mother Qi, and the afternoon passed in a hurry, and Tang Yi said goodbye when it was dark.

When he arrived downstairs at his house, Tang Yi saw the red BMW parked at the entrance of the building, and was slightly stunned for a moment, and the white figure appeared in his mind, lonely and arrogant.

When I entered the house, I saw the beautiful Ning Xiaomei sitting quietly on the sofa, quietly drinking tea.

Tang Yi walked over, honestly and unceremoniously picked up the delicate sandalwood tea pot on the table and popped out a few pieces of tea in his teacup, he had long wanted to taste Ning Xiaomei's tea, he drank some wine today, he was a little excited, and he didn't hide his armpits for some ideas, but Ning Xiaomei glanced at him in slight surprise.

Tang Yi poured hot water into the teacup and asked casually, "Why are you here?" ”

Ning Xiaomei tasted the tea and said indifferently: "It's not good for you to be alone during the New Year." ”

Tang Yi smiled, how good can you be if you are a wooden man? But after all, people showed their concern for themselves, although it was only the care of the etiquette surname, Tang Yi still thanked her a little.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and when I came back, I found that the teacup on the coffee table was covered with the teacup lid, but Tang Yi forgot it when he made the tea just now, thinking that Ning Xiaomei did it.

"When did you arrive?" Tang Yi sat down lazily as he asked, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and immediately felt refreshed, his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and he couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

"Noon." Ning Xiaomei's faint words drilled into her ears, Tang Yi was stunned, looked at her watch, it was already past five o'clock, which means that Ning Xiaomei had been sitting here for nearly six hours?

No matter how Tang Yi said it, he was a little reluctant and said: "Alas, there is no contact method and it is a headache, but after the New Year, the county post and telecommunications bureau will launch the 126,127 paging business, and will also start to build mobile network cellular base stations, and the communication will be much more convenient at that time." "The construction of the new urban area, the construction of Swan Lake, the county party committee and the provincial and municipal post and telecommunications departments have coordinated, the two sides have reached a consensus, after the year will develop Yanshan's mobile communication business, but the city post and telecommunications bureau is really a bit cheap and obedient, and even hopes that the mobile infrastructure can be given an appropriate amount of funding by the Yanshan County finance, which really makes Tang Yi a little ridiculous, but the reality is like this, these departments are obviously not directly under the county party committee and county political axe, but they like to rub oil from the local political axe finance.

Ning Xiaomei nodded slightly, and did not pick up the stubble.

Tang Yi frowned again and asked, "Have you eaten at noon?" ”

Ning Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I want to have lunch with you." ”

If it is someone else, after waiting for so long, he must feel that the master is ashamed, and he will take care of the master's face and say it tactfully, for example, the master asked if he had eaten? Generally, they will answer that they have eaten it. Ning Xiaomei never faked, and her straightforward answer made Tang Yi a little embarrassed.

Ning Xiaomei got up at this time and said, "I'll go cook." ”

Tang Yi glanced at her a few times and said with a smile: "Do you know how to cook?" ”

Ning Xiaomei nodded slightly, Tang Yi was not hungry, but thinking that Ning Xiaomei had not eaten water and rice since the morning, she was a little reluctant to go, and said: "Forget it, I'll cook it, you haven't used my kitchen, you don't know where to put the seasoning." ”

Ning Xiaomei frowned slightly, and finally sat back, Tang Yi looked funny, knowing that she felt that she had burned the food unpalatablely.

This time, Tang Yi didn't deliberately spoil it, and burned two side dishes very carefully, a fish-flavored eggplant box and cola chicken wings, and mixed a cucumber jellyfish, tiger skin pepper, sweet, sour, spicy, and spicy, but it took a lot of thought.

At the dinner table, Ning Xiaomei was still Si Swenwen's picket of vegetables, and she really couldn't see that she was hungry for a day.

Tang Yi sighed, took a chicken wing and sent it to Ning Xiaomei's bowl, and said, "Eat it, I won't laugh at you." ”

Ning Xiaomei was taken aback by Tang Yi's abrupt move, because of her surname, everyone around her didn't dare to show any concern for her, and even her family gradually got used to her indifference and put vegetables in her bowl? Probably something she had never experienced before.

Ning Xiaomei glanced at Tang Yi and said softly, "Thank you." But he put the chicken wings back on the plate, pointed to the sanitary chopsticks on the table, and said, "Use sanitary chopsticks to help people pick up vegetables." ”

Tang Yi was speechless again, and said in his heart that my chopsticks didn't touch my mouth, but I didn't bother to say more, picked up the sanitary chopsticks and sandwiched the chicken wings just now into Ning Xiaomei's bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat." ”

Ning Xiaomei frowned, but finally picked up the chicken wings and chewed them slowly, Tang Yi looked at her funny and shook his head.

"Bao'er and Sister Lan have returned to the countryside for the New Year, they left yesterday, or you can still see them." Knowing that she didn't have any feelings for that godsister goddaughter, she still had to say it politely, and sure enough, Ning Xiaomei nodded lightly and didn't speak.

After eating, Tang Yi thought about it for a while and said, "It's too late, stay here for one night and then leave, there is still a house upstairs, I'll go sleep on it." ”

Ning Xiaomei glanced at Tang Yi quietly and said, "No, I want to go back to the military region to do something." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, didn't ask her anything, sent her downstairs, and watched the red dust go, Tang Yi didn't know what it was like in his heart.

…… After the New Year, there are more officials who come and go, Tang Yi even often receives several groups of officials at the same time, a few days down, cigarettes and alcohol are collected, fortunately now Yanshan officialdom knows Tang Yi's living habits, there is no money, tobacco and alcohol is the grade of one or two hundred yuan, to say that getting along with the leader is a great knowledge, the leader's living habits are the most inoffensive, sometimes more hateful than offending the leader at work.

Tang Yi knew that the New Year's celebration was celebrated, these cigarettes and alcohol must be collected by himself, and honesty cannot be excessive, too much is not called honesty, it is called ignorance of current affairs.

On the evening of the third day of the first month, just sent off Director Zhang of the Finance Bureau, Chen Fangyuan and Chen Ke came suddenly, and when they opened the door, they saw Chen Ke and Tang Yi were stunned, and they didn't see him for half a year, but Chen Ke was already slim, wearing the most fashionable red high-necked windbreaker in the south, like a beautiful girl in the city.

The big city is all about exercising people. Tang Yi sighed with emotion and let the two of them into the house.

Chen Fangyuan held the tea sent by Tang Yi, a little restrained, and said, "Secretary Tang is very good for the New Year." ”

Tang Yi smiled, nodded slightly, and looked at Chen Ke who was sitting side by side on the sofa with Chen Fangyuan, she saw that she had another kind of spirit, as if she had never seen herself, and looked at herself curiously.

"Lao Chen, just say something, I don't think you just look at me for the New Year, right?" Tang Yi smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Chen Fangyuan hesitated a little, and asked Tang Yi tentatively: "Secretary Tang, I heard that there will be a vacant land near Xincheng Pedestrian Street?" Is it true? ”

Tang Yi nodded, and said in his heart that Lao Chen is not what it used to be, and he can also hear the letter from the resolution that has not yet been officially announced by the county party committee, and businessmen and officials are really inseparable.

Chen Fangyuan seemed to be pondering the wording, and after a long time, he said cautiously: "I have such an idea, I want to invest in building a supermarket there, do you think it will happen?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "What's wrong with that?" The land set aside is ready to raise funds to build a commercial area, and you can come to invest, but it's too late to welcome it. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, "But Lao Chen, that area is the commercial center of Yanshan in the future, so you can't make a small building, you have no problem with funds, right?" ”

Chen Fangyuan said with a smile: "The bank loan point, it should be no problem." ”

Tang Yi didn't ask anymore, picked up the teacup and drank water.

Chen Fangyuan began to look at his daughter, Chen Ke just pretended not to see it, there was no way, he had to smile again: "Can Secretary Tang take care of that land and grant me a land with a better location." ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "This matter is the responsibility of the Urban Construction Bureau, you are looking for me to find the wrong person, let's go through the normal procedure, I have written it down about you." ”

Chen Fangyuan smiled, "That's, that's." Chen Ke looked at Tang Yi a little distracted, he hadn't seen him for half a year, he had changed a lot, he was more calm and capable than before, and he had the temperament of an official eunuch, but his heart, which could occasionally be seen through by himself, was hidden and untouchable.

Chen Fangyuan said again: "Secretary Tang, without you, I wouldn't be the old Chen I am today, the canning factory was built by you, and you helped me support the most difficult period in the early days, I, I don't know how to thank you......" He said very emotionally, his eyes were a little red, Tang Yi waved his hand and said: "That's my job, it's all my job, I want to thank you for the party's policy of enriching the people." ”

Lao Chen nodded again and again, and said with a little choked up: "Anyway, you are also my old Chen's benefactor, and I don't know how to repay you, I just thought, the new supermarket will give you 20% of the shares, you can see ......" "Dad!" Chen Ke tugged hard at Chen Fangyuan's sleeve to prevent him from saying any more.

Tang Yi's action of drinking tea paused for a moment, slowly put the teacup on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, don't say such things in the future, I watched the canning factory in Chenjiatuo, and I don't want to watch it collapse anymore." ”

Chen Fangyuan pondered the meaning of Tang Yi's words, and was shocked in his heart, is this a warning to himself not to make mistakes?

When Chen Fangyuan and Chen Ke said goodbye, Chen Ke walked behind, and couldn't help but say to Tang Yi: "Secretary Tang, you have changed and become a very stranger. ”

Tang Yi smiled and didn't speak, people will always change, why hasn't Chen Ke changed?

Tang Yi has been sending the two downstairs, Chen Ke looked back from time to time, looking at Tang Yi's figure gradually disappearing in the night, Chen Ke suddenly blushed, remembering his absurdity before, thinking that he could not be humane, when he arrived at the university, he was in the library as soon as he had time, and later learned that it was a misunderstanding, but now that I think about it, all kinds of interesting things that happened with Tang Yi in the past are so warm, I really hope he can touch his head and laugh and scold himself for being a "little girl", but, Glancing at the figure that was getting more and more hazy in the night, Chen Ke knew that that kind of life was gone forever.

Tang Yi stood in the night for a long time, he really wanted to talk to Chen Ke, but seeing Chen Fangyuan's aura today, Tang Yi knew that he needed to keep his distance from him, what about her? Will they become two parallel lines after all, and there will be no intersection again?

…… Just after the fifteenth fifteenth year, the new urban area in the northwest of the county has begun to level the land, and when the land is thawed in the spring, the foundation can be laid. The whole county seems to have become lively with the start of the construction of the new city, after all, the large construction teams of the two provincial construction companies have been stationed in the new city, and there are many more construction workers with foreign accents on the streets of the county at night.

With the construction team not only stimulated consumption, but also brought a series of unstable factors, no, there have been two Yanshan locals and non-local workers group brawls in the night, so that the night hazy was specially inspected once, and was ordered to suspend business for three days for rectification.

Of course, this is Tang Yi's instructions.

With the approach of the construction of Daxing Electronics in Yanqing, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission specially came down to a working group for investigation, headed by Tian Qingbin, deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission.

Governing the night haze is an instruction given in such an atmosphere.

Yanshan is a cold spring, and the afternoon sun is dazzling, but it can't bring a little warmth to the earth.

Several cars slowly drove into Liuhe Village, a northern suburb of Yanshan County, and the construction of a new urban area occupied a large amount of cultivated land in Liuhe Village.

Tang Yi sat in the back of the third car, and sitting next to him was Director Zhou of the county party committee office, Tang Yi looked at the two cars in front of him with a thoughtful expression.

At the luncheon meeting of the welcome working group held at the guest house of the county party committee at noon, Director Tian held Tang Yi's hand and said affectionately: "Comrade Xiao Yue often mentions you, the youngest cadre at the department level and the youngest leader of the county party committee in our province, you are the pacesetter of grassroots cadres in our province." ”

Tang Yi didn't know the hidden meaning behind Director Tian's smile, but Tang Yi knew that in the political axe organs, the more heavyweight the department, the first and second in command usually have a gap, unless the first and second in command are an old man and a younger, and Tian Qingbin, the executive deputy director, can have a harmonious relationship with Xiao Yue?

In fact, Tang Yi and Xiao Yue have not been closely connected recently, only occasionally on the phone, but in the eyes of outsiders, he and Xiao Yue, who have jointly signed themselves, are undoubtedly sitting in the same boat, if they can't figure out their own details, most of them will misunderstand that they are Xiao Yue's people, and their own promotion will naturally come to a conclusion, Xiao Yue is a soldier in the army after all, and his comrades-in-arms are all over the world, and there may not be a strong relationship in the province or even the central government.

And the land resettlement and other issues in Liuhe Village were all handled by himself, so Tang Yi had to be a little cautious about Director Tian's arrival this time.

Director Zhou handed over a cigarette, Tang Yi didn't answer it, he didn't like to smoke in the car, Director Zhou smiled and stuffed the cigarette he had just held in his mouth into the cigarette case.

"No problem, right?" Tang Yi asked thoughtlessly.

Director Zhou said in a very affirmative tone, "No problem." He knew what Secretary Tang was asking, since yesterday after receiving the news that the research team was coming, Director Zhou personally came to Liuhe Village to arrange the reception, which was nothing more than finding someone to act in front of the research team, and everyone was happy.

Tang Yi knew that Director Zhou was thoughtful, and he said that there would be no problem, and basically there would be no mistakes, and nodded.

Accompanied by Secretary Tao Li County Magistrate Tang Yi and Director Zhou, Director Tian entered a farmhouse and kindly asked the owner if he knew that the county party committee and county government axe occupied the cultivated land in the village, the master looked like a very simple farmer, with a swarthy face, a smile showing yellow teeth, and he replied honestly and crampedly: "I know, our village has a government affairs open column, and we all know everything." ”

Director Tian looked back at Secretary Tao and said with a smile: "Open government affairs? Something new. ”

Secretary Tao smiled humbly, glanced at Tang Yi, and knew that it was his masterpiece.

Director Tian asked the master how much resettlement fee he had gotten, how much land occupation fee, etc., and although the master was restrained, he replied very decently.

Director Tian had a smiling face when he got on the bus, and Director Zhou was also relaxed when he got on the bus, just when the team was about to start, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared at the corner of the village, beat the ground with a cane, and scolded: "It's all a lie, it's all a lie!" It's been choreographed for a long time! ”

Director Zhou's face turned blue all of a sudden, the village and town cadres over there were busy pulling the old man, the old man was still chattering and scolding, Director Tian's car buzzed and started, and galloped out of the village quickly, and the rest of the vehicles followed as soon as they slipped up, Tang Yi looked at the back of the car with an expressionless face, and the village cadres were still entangled with the old man.

Director Zhou was so angry that he scolded: "Damn Chen Xiaoshan, I'm not done with him!" "Chen Xiaoshan is the secretary of the town under the jurisdiction of the village, and the play arranged with Director Zhou yesterday, who knows that it will be bad, of course Director Zhou will be angry with the local leaders, but Director Zhou, who is usually called Si Swenwen, is so anxious that he scolds it for the first time.

Tang Yi didn't speak.

The convoy returned to the county party committee compound, and as soon as he got out of the car, Secretary Tao fell two steps, and after Tang Yi and Director Zhou followed, Tie Qing asked Director Zhou with a blue face: "How did you do it?" Why did it go wrong? ”

Director Zhou had never seen Secretary Tao get angry, and he was a little nervous, "I, I didn't expect this to happen." ”

"Didn't expect that? Unexpectedly, that's the biggest problem! After Secretary Tao reprimanded, he flicked his sleeves, and caught up with Director Tian's pace with a blushing face.

Director Zhou looked at Secretary Tao's back, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Tang Yi patted Director Zhou on the shoulder and handed him a cigarette.

Tang Yi returned to the office, made a cup of tea, sat on the long sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.

The expropriation of land was grasped by him, and everything was carried out in strict accordance with the state's policy documents.

It's just that things are a little strange, Director Zhou knows how to do things, he is more than steady, not enough to develop, very suitable for office housekeeping work, and the things he explains are always done beautifully, and it is impossible to make such a big mistake.

The hidden door was pushed open, and the sound was not loud, but Tang Yi opened his eyes, and Secretary Tao walked in with some seriousness.

sat on the rattan chair opposite Tang Yi, looked at Tang Yi for a while, and sighed: "Secretary Tang, I have always been very relieved about your affairs." ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "I'll make you a cup of tea?" ”

Secretary Tao shook his head, and Tang Yi asked again: "What did Director Tian say?" ”

Secretary Tao said: "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything is the problem." ”

Tang Yi sipped the tea, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Secretary Tao sighed, rubbed his slightly bald head, got up and walked out, although Tang Yi was responsible for the whole thing, but when this happened, the Yanshan team was all disgraced, and people didn't necessarily have to find out what responsibility issues were, but when they returned to the province, it had a bad impact on the entire Yanshan team.

Director Zhou arrived at Tang Yi's office after a while, and there was still some red tide on his face, which may have been left by the traces of the anger just now, "Secretary Tang, the matter has been clarified, Chen Xiaoshan called, saying that the old man is a mentally ill patient, and he went to the hospital a few years ago, and there is a case certificate." ”

Tang Yi didn't pick up, and he was not interested in this kind of official explanation.

After pondering for a while, Tang Yi asked Director Tian, "What do you think of Chen Xiaoshan?" ”

Director Tian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Tang Yi meant, then he had to be very careful to express his opinion, after all, this is related to a person's reputation and even his future.

Thinking about the wording, he finally said slowly: "It's okay, I used to work with him, I worked hard, I worked hard, economically...... Nothing should go wrong. ”
