Chapter 81: New Year's Day

Bao'er had already taken off her small red fur coat outside, and was wearing a red lace skirt, a white knitted sweater, white wool pants, and little red leather shoes.

Tang Yi suddenly remembered and said to Bao'er: "There is juice in the refrigerator, go get it yourself." ”

Bao'er smiled and said, "I'll juice it, uncle, do you have oranges at home?" ”

Tang Yi Nunu mouthed, "Go to the kitchen and ask your mother." ”

Bao'er slid down from Tang Yi's arms, jumped into the kitchen, and after a while, a little head popped up and called Xia Xiaoice, "Sister, come, help me get the cup." ”

Xia Xiaoice is the daughter of Boss Xia, one year older than Bao'er, born very beautiful, but since entering the house, she has shrunk beside her sister-in-law, and has not dared to speak.

Xia Xiaoice heard Bao'er call her, but she still didn't dare to move, so her sister-in-law pushed her hard, "Go quickly, listen to Bao'er!" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Don't be, look at how well-behaved your daughter is, listen to Bao'er's words, then you will know that you are naughty." Having said that, anyone can tell how much he loves Bao'er.

Ten minutes later, Bao'er walked out of the kitchen with a big plate, on the plate, there were a few glasses of juice in transparent glasses, the juice was shaking, and people were scared, Tang Yi smiled: "Don't fall." ”

The sister-in-law glared at Xia Xiaoice, who was following Bao'er: "Why don't you help your sister get it, it's really not sensible!" ”

Bao'er put the plate on the coffee table, and handed another cup to everyone, Tang Yi, Xia Boss, and sister-in-law all shared.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, try the juice squeezed by our family Bao'er." He took a sip and exclaimed, "It's delicious." Bao'er who looked at Tang Yi jumped up with joy, looked back, and saw Xia Xiaoice holding the juice without squeaking, so she smiled and said: "Sister, it's delicious, you drink it!" ”

Xia Xiaoice sighed, picked up the juice and drank it down, because of jealousy of Bao'er today, the strength of quarreling with Bao'er has long disappeared.

Tang Yi took two sips and asked Bao'er, "Have you made a few cups of juice for your mother and grandmother?" ”

Bao'er sat next to Tang Yi, flattened the little lace skirt, sat down very ladylikely, and counted with her fingers: "Grandma doesn't drink juice, and my mother doesn't drink either, I squeezed five cups, Uncle is the best drink, Uncle and Aunt are the second best, and my sister and I are the third best." ”

Tang Yi smiled dumbly, this can also distinguish the first best taste and the second best drink? He didn't ask about the child's psychology, so he smiled and said, "Bao'er is very capable, can you squeeze five cups of juice at once?" ”

Bao'er grinned and said, "I can squeeze six cups, Sister Yun'er has one cup, Sister Xiaoxia has one cup, and Xiaoli and I have two cups each." ”

Tang Yi was stunned, frowned and asked, "At home, do you squeeze the juice by yourself?" ”

"No, no, it's all squeezed by me!" Sister Lan didn't know why her ears were so long, so she suddenly poked her head out of the kitchen and glared at Bao'er even harder.

Bao'er looked at her mother innocently, pouted and stopped talking. Tang Yi was a little annoyed, this Sister Lan is too lazy, although children should do what they can by themselves, but squeezing juice requires electricity, which is still a bit dangerous for children.

But in front of Sister Lan's eldest brother and sister-in-law, Tang Yi couldn't say anything, lit a cigarette and smoked.

"Uncle, my name is Xiaoli, don't tell your mother." Bao'er suddenly mysteriously leaned into Tang Yi's ear and said, Xiaoli is Xiaoxia's sister.

Tang Yi smiled and glanced at Bao'er, isn't it, Bao'er also has many little tails around her now, right? No matter how unsociable they are, there should be a lot of children who like to hang around with Bao'er.

However, Tang Yi remembered Captain Park again, so he asked Bao'er in a low voice: "Do you know where Sister Yun'er is going for the holiday today?" ”

Bao'er nodded her little head: "She went to Xiaoli's house, at first she said she wouldn't go anything, but later her mother and Sister Xiaoxia persuaded her that her uncle told her to go, and she agreed." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, his eyes looked at the handbag under the coffee table, Bao'er squeaked to the ground, squatted down and took out the bag, turned around and handed it to Tang Yi, and said, "Uncle, do you want to call Sister Yun'er?" ”

Tang Yi pinched Bao'er's little nose funny, and said that children's minds are really difficult to figure out, sometimes they are very naΓ―ve, and sometimes they are very ghostly, and they are big ghosts.

Tang Yi was still hesitating, but since it was Bao'er who handed over the bag, he took out the phone and called Captain Park.

"Chief?" Captain Park's voice was extremely low, but it couldn't suppress her surprise.

"Happy New Year, have fun for a few days, I have a lot of people, so I'll hang up first, and I'll see you in a few days."

"Yes!" Thinking about it, Captain Park nodded vigorously over there.

After hanging up the phone, Bao'er obediently helped Tang Yi put the phone into his handbag and put it in the bottom compartment of the coffee table.

……

The dinner is extremely rich, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea gather on one table, Sister Lan smiled and divided the half-pound Taihu Lake hairy crabs into two each, and even more knowledgeable, and said to the sister-in-law: "The crabs eat the most delicious in the lake, followed by the flowing water river crabs, and the crabs in the sea, taste, this is the Taihu Lake hairy crab, and the crabs we caught in the Xiaochun River when we were children are not the same taste." ”

The sister-in-law took it respectfully and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I never saw such a big crab." To Sister Lan, she became more and more respectful.

Tang Yi gave his crabs to Bao'er and said, "Four, eat them and become a little fat pig to show your uncle." ”

Bao'er naturally took Uncle Tang's words seriously, with a bitter little face, and looked at the four big crabs in front of her in a daze.

Tang Yi smiled: "Eat half of it, and give the rest to Xiaoli to eat." ”

Sister Lan hurriedly said, "Secretary Tang, leave it for them, you can eat." "It doesn't matter to others, Sister Lan can guess that the relationship between Tang Yi and Miss Park is very unusual, so naturally she has to think about her in everything, and she can't bend her.

Tang Yi smiled: "Let's eat." "The first one picks up the dishes, and the others follow suit.

Boss Xia has seen a little bit of the world, and while peeling the crab shell, he asked with a smile: "This crab, it costs dozens of yuan a piece, right?" The sister-in-law also nodded in agreement: "If you want it, I think you want it." ”

Sister Lan smiled: "One hundred and forty or fifty yuan." ”

Boss Xia and sister-in-law were stunned for a while, sister-in-law had just finished gnawing on a crab, and was reminiscing, listening to Sister Lan's words for a while, she was stunned for a while, and in a few minutes, she ate more than 100 yuan in her stomach? glanced at Sister Lan, who behaved naturally and didn't take it seriously, sighed in her heart, this little fox is really good, too, her face is so good that she can eat everywhere, who asked her father-in-law and mother-in-law to give her a handsome appearance? The mayor's family chooses a nanny, and naturally chooses a beautiful one.

After eating, Aunt Li went back to the room to rest, Tang Yi and Boss Xia sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, and Sister Lan was busy bringing out snacks from the oven, putting them on the coffee table, and said to Xia Laodao: "After dinner, after dessert, after eating Napoleon cakes, I will send you to the guest house." ”

In fact, the north is not like the south, the more particular people in the south still retain the tradition of making some snacks and desserts at home, but there are very few such people in the north, but Longfengju has an oven, and Sister Lan often makes some desserts such as hibiscus cake, pumpkin pie, bean paste cake, etc., but the Western-style Napoleon cake is still the first time.

Tang Yi smiled: "Napoleon cake, well done, there are more than 1,000 layers of crispy skin, look at what you made." ”

Sister Lan hurriedly used a small dish to help Tang Yi clip a piece, the yellow-orange-orange puff pastry exudes a mellow fragrance, and it looks good, Tang Yi took a bite lightly, and nodded approvingly: "The outside is scorched and the inside is tender, it melts in the mouth, not bad, plus points." ”

Sister Lan smiled beautifully, how could Boss Xia and sister-in-law eat well or badly, but they still praised Sister Lan for making it delicious.

After eating a piece of cake and a few mangoes, Boss Xia and his sister-in-law hurriedly got up to say goodbye, Tang Yi said to Sister Lan: "Send it to Xinhua Hotel, just say it's my guest, you send your eldest brother and sister-in-law over, I'll call them now." ”

Sister Lan was busy thanking Secretary Tang.

When I came, there were a lot of people, and Sister Lan didn't like to drive people, everyone came by taxi, Sister Lan led the eldest brother's family out of the community, waving and waiting for the car.

Boss Xia asked: "Xinhua Hotel, is it the tall building in the city center?" How much does a night in a big hotel? ”

Sister Lan pouted: "Secretary Tang's guests, who live on the eleventh floor, are all high-level leaders, how much money do you have, and you can't live there!" ”

Although the eleventh floor is dedicated to the municipal party committee and municipal axe, the entertainment is not all leaders, Sister Lan brags, how can Boss Xia and sister-in-law know? But he was even more frightened.

The sister-in-law smiled and said: "Xiaolan, you have survived, you can see that Mayor Tang trusts you very much, look, because you still entertain us with these dirt buns, you can guess that Mayor Tang can't do without you, what about Bao'er, Mayor Tang is spoiled like a daughter, and it is the household registration of Spring City, can you be wrong in the future?" Xiaolan, your life has not been in vain. ”

Sister Lan listened to it in her heart, although she had heard these words a lot, but she had always looked down on her sister-in-law when she said it, and Sister Lan was unspeakably happy in her heart.

The sister-in-law said again: "Xiaolan, you said that our family can be neat, your eldest brother is an honest man, so he had a little idea of getting rich, and he lost all his savings over the years, if it weren't for you, I would have to carry a famine, how the two of us have nothing to live by, that is, Xiaoice, has always been the heart disease of me and your eldest brother, sister, you see, can you ask someone to find a relationship, and help Xiaoice also get a city hukou." ”

Boss Xia frowned and pulled the sleeve of his sister-in-law's shirt and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the city hukou is so easy to get?" ”

The sister-in-law said unconvinced: "Forget about your pocket, it's not easy for others to get it, can Xiaolan still get it?" ”

Sister Lan knew her sister-in-law's tricks, but she was still a little proud in her heart, at this time a taxi stopped in front of the four people, Sister Lan pulled the car door and said with a smile: "Get in the car first, sister-in-law, I really can't solve Xiaoice's household registration, but you can rest assured that she should study hard, even if she goes to a technical secondary school, I will be responsible for finding a good job when I come out, okay?" ”

The sister-in-law hurriedly smiled: "That's not enough, then thank you so much, Xiaoice, don't you thank your aunt soon?" ”

Sister Lan waved her hand majestically, full of another black-faced god, and then bent over to get into the car.

Help Xiaoice find a good job, Sister Lan is still very sure, and there is no need to trouble the black-faced god, just talk to Junzi or Xiao Na.

……

Tang Yi listened to Bao'er's chirping, and felt funny, Bao'er probably hadn't talked to herself for a long time, and she had saved it for more than a year, and the chatter never stopped.

Small chatter! Tang Yi pondered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, the relationship with Bao'er had just thawed, and Tang Yi was afraid that she would ignore her again.

"Uncle, I don't know a few words in the political axe work report you did, can you teach it to me?"

Tang Yi looked at Bao'er in amazement, and said helplessly: "That's the newspaper from ten days ago, uncle can't find it." ”

Bao'er jumped off the sofa and said, "Bao'er wrote it for you." "I trotted to my room and came out with a beautiful ballpoint pen and white paper, and although the bag was not here, there was still a pen and paper in the desk.

Tang Yi scratched his head for a while, but seeing that Bao'er was looking forward to it, he could only nod.

Bao'er wrote stroke by stroke on the white paper, frowning from time to time to think, Tang Yi smiled: "Wait for tomorrow, will Uncle find that newspaper tomorrow?" ”

Bao'er couldn't write, and she was afraid that her uncle would think that she was not smart, so she was very anxious, so she listened to Tang Yi's words, and immediately grinned and said, "Okay, then tomorrow my uncle will teach me." ”

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door, Sister Lan came in from outside, Tang Yiru was amnesty, looked at the clock on the wall, and said to Bao'er: "It's eleven o'clock, go take a bath and go to bed." ”

"Yes." Bao'er nodded obediently and ran to the bathroom.

Sister Lan came over and reported: "Secretary Tang, my eldest brother and sister-in-law live in room No. 5 on the eleventh floor, I told them, don't talk nonsense, don't talk with the guests on the eleventh floor." ”

Tang Yien sighed, and said to Nunu in the bathroom, Sister Lan said: "Bao'er will take a bath by herself, she doesn't like to sleep with me in her arms now, so why would she ask me to help her take a bath?" There are some grievances in the words, after all, when children grow up, there will always be some subtle changes in the hearts of parents.

Tang Yi smiled: "Also, in ancient times, in a few years, you can get married." ”

Sister Lan entered the kitchen, and after a while, she came out with a white food bag, a transparent food bag, you can see some pieces of meat inside, Sister Lan hesitated to put the food bag on the coffee table, and said: "This is what Xiaoxia entrusted me to bring you, she knows that Secretary Tang can eat anything, and it is not rare, this bag of raccoon dog meat is a local product, and her relatives raise raccoon dogs, isn't this the month of peeling?" I sent a few to Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia's own stewed meat, put enough chili peppers, and said that she would give it to Secretary Tang to try. ”

Sister Lan looked at Tang Yi's face, and said: "I, I'll say you eat it when I go back, alas, you don't usually like to eat meat, raccoon dog meat, no matter how much chili pepper you put it, it will smell fishy, and Xiaoxia is also messing around." ”

Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't waste people's minds, I'll eat a leg." ”

Sister Lan was stunned, and hurriedly said yes, so she went to the kitchen to get food plates and chopsticks.

As Sister Lan said, no matter how much chili pepper is put in, the smell of raccoon dog meat still can't be suppressed, but Tang Yi gnawed the meat pieces clean with relish, Sister Lan sighed in her heart, the black-faced god is really particular, but he is not specialized in faΓ§ade work.

Sister Lan hurriedly boiled a bowl of white fungus soup to help Tang Yi get rid of the peculiar smell in his mouth, then made tea, sat down carefully, and asked, "Secretary Tang, do you want me to help you press your head?" ”

Tang Yi waved his hand, slowly drank the white fungus bird's nest soup, and asked Sister Lan: "How about the price of raccoon dog skin this year?" Do farmers make money? ”

Sister Lan complained in her heart, how could she care about this? But he said with a smile on his face: "The price is good, it's all profitable, and the policy of praising the political axe is good." ”

Tang Yi smiled and glared at Sister Lan, knowing that she was making random arrangements, no matter how much money farmers make, people also think that they have a high vision, what do they have to do with the political axe?

Sister Lan's charming Danfeng eyes rolled, and she smiled: "If you want to say, the raccoon dog skin of the farmers is selling well, but the raccoon dog meat is miserable, especially the farmers in Kuancheng, some people bully the market and maliciously lower the price of raccoon dog meat, and the people of Kuancheng are all complaining."

Sister Lan naturally doesn't care about the life of farmers, but she likes gossip the most, and when she heard Xiaoxia's relatives talk about how the price of raccoon dog meat was depressed this year, she was extremely curious and inquired about it. At this time, he naturally wanted to show off in front of Tang Yi, and it seemed that he also cared about the people's welfare.

Tang Yi frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" "Although raccoon dogs, mink and other farmers are actually raising skins, raccoon dog skins, the price of mink skins is what they are most concerned about, as for the sale of skins, how much can the raccoon dog meat be sold, it really doesn't hurt, a raccoon dog skin is two or three hundred yuan, a raccoon dog meat is only ten yuan, no matter how low, there is no impact on the income of farmers, but the problem is that if the ruffian hooligans are not curbed, the impact is really bad, and the people will lack trust in the political axe.

Sister Lan said: "I heard that the owner of the Kuancheng Hotel is buying raccoon dog meat, and the raccoon dog meat in the entire Kuancheng has been reduced by three or four yuan. This time I made hundreds of thousands of dollars. The tone was very angry, but it sounded as if he was angry because such a beautiful thing had nothing to do with Sister Lan.

Tang Yi was a little incredulous: "He is so capable?" Can you control the price of raccoon dog meat in the entire wide city? Besides, with such a big movement and the squeezing of so many farmers, will the local political axe not care? ”

Sister Lan pouted and said: "He has a way, he doesn't talk to the farmers directly, but sends a lot of little hooligans to wander around, those who collect raccoon dog meat, and finally have to sell to his meat collection point, those who dare to sell the neighboring county will definitely be beaten, the price of his meat collection point is so low, and the second-way dealers have to lower the price, so as to make money." Therefore, the price of raccoon dog meat in Kuancheng has been suppressed. Besides, I heard that he was quite comfortable in Kuancheng, so the political axe and the public security turned a blind eye. ”

Tang Yi shook his head, but his wrist was very clever, which would not make the farmers feel bullied, after all, it was those second-class dealers who were directly threatened, and the price of raccoon dog meat was pressed down.

Kuancheng Hotel, Tang Yi faintly had the impression that it was originally a state-owned enterprise, a hospitality hotel for the Kuancheng County Party Committee and County Political Axe, but a few months ago it was reported that there was a young lady, and the city bureau went directly to investigate, and really found out the problem, which made the Kuancheng team very disgraced, so they contracted out the hotel, and those who could get the contracting right were naturally also characters calling for wind and rain in Kuancheng.

Tang Yi glanced at Sister Lan and asked, "Your gossip can't be fake, right?" ”

Sister Lan swore and said: "No, Xiaoxia's relatives said that the farmers in Kuancheng know it, but they can't do it, besides, the raccoon dog meat can't be sold for a few dollars, and no one is willing to offend people for this little thing." ”

Tang Yi didn't squeak, picked up the teacup and drank water, yes, raccoon dog meat is not worth a few dollars, no matter how much the price is lowered, the farmers will not have a big loss, even if they raise hundreds of raccoon dogs, they will only lose 1,800 yuan, but the surname of this matter is bad, what is this? To put it more seriously, organized and disciplined destruction of the social and economic order and oppression of the masses is the essence of the underworld.

It's Kuancheng again, Tang Yi frowned, the two cities and one county under Anton's jurisdiction seem to have a lot of problems.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, and said to Sister Lan: "Tomorrow, you drive, accompany me down to have a look, go to Kuancheng to have a look, I want to see what they do to reduce the price." ”

Sister Lan was stunned, and immediately nodded excitedly, she likes the fox fake tiger the most, and the mayor went down to "Weifu private interview"? Maybe there will be another chance to play prestige, of course Sister Lan can't ask for it, so she nodded vigorously.

After the excitement passed, Sister Lan cautiously proposed: "Secretary Tang, now that the price of raccoon dog meat in Kuancheng has stabilized, even if we go down, we won't see anything, it's better to ask my eldest brother to pretend to collect raccoon dog meat, set the price high, go to a few villages, and I think I can lure those guys out." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, let's either go to investigate the case, or go down, talk to the vendors who collect raccoon dog meat, understand the situation, if it's really like what you said, transfer it to the inspection office and the city bureau to handle it." ”

Sister Lan was busy saying yes, but she didn't hear that she was going to handle the case, and her joy disappeared.

(To be continued)
