A few ordinary jokes that looked at the Internet in the previous life sound very novel and funny now, Li Rui pops up a few from time to time, Xu Xiyuan giggles non-stop, it is estimated that Aunt Fang, who lives next door, must be curious to inquire.

"By the way, you just said that you are going to find a difficult place to practice socially, where are you going?" Li Rui asked casually while pouring Xu Xiyuan's coffee cup full of coffee.

"I'm going to go to my uncle's coal mine." Xu Xiyuan said.

"Your uncle is still the coal boss? Rich enough! Li Rui said with a smile, there are more than 80 coal bosses in Nanqiao, and Xu Xiyuan's uncle is one of them, and Li Rui is not surprised.

"It's just a small coal kiln." Xu Xiyuan said with regret: "It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier, or I would have gone to your unit to practice in society, what are the jokes in your stomach, I must be very happy to work with you." And you've designed your house so well, I can still ask you for advice. Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Li, where do you work? ”

"I'm a companion with your uncle, and I'm from the Coal Management Bureau." Li Rui said with a smile.

"Coal Authority's?" Xu Xiyuan said unexpectedly, and at the same time, the expression on her face became a little complicated.

"yes, what's wrong? It's normal for me to work at the Coal Authority! Li Rui said.

"But...... However, I heard that none of the people in the coal management bureau are good people, and they are looking for coal mine bosses to take advantage of them. Xu Xiyuan looked at Li Rui and said with an embarrassed expression, and then hurriedly said: "Brother Li, I didn't mean you, you must be a good person." ”

Li Rui was surprised, he didn't expect the Coal Authority to have such a bad reputation in the eyes of a little girl, he thought it was caused by the nude photos incident and Du Jinsong's incident, and said with a smile: "Then I'm really a little flattered, but I want to tell you that there are still a lot of good people in the Coal Authority, and you can't say that the whole pot of porridge is full of rat feces just because a grain of rat feces fell into the pot." ”

"I listened to my aunt say that, and she said that my uncle was ordered to stop production and rectify because he didn't give benefits to the people in the Coal Authority."

"And this?" During this time, many coal mines were ordered to stop production, but they were all because the safety facilities were not up to standard, and they could only resume production after completing the rectification and acceptance, "Where is your uncle's mine, I will help you ask about the situation after going to work tomorrow, if this is indeed the case, I believe that the leaders of the Coal Authority must deal with it seriously." ”

"Yes, that's great, my uncle's coal mine is in Xujiaji Township, called Xiaogou Coal Mine, my uncle is an honest man, after my aunt came to my house last time and said this, my father was also very angry, Brother Li, you must help reflect it." Xu Xiyuan said happily.

Xiaogou Coal Mine, uncle, surnamed Xu, after a long time, this girl is actually Xu Hao's daughter, Li Rui finally understood why Xu Hao had such a big opinion about himself, it turned out that someone had beaten his own little report.

Looking at Xu Xiyuan in front of him, Li Rui was worried that he didn't have a chance to explain to Xu Hao, and it was a good idea to pass through his daughter.

"You're talking about Xiaogou Coal Mine, I'm afraid you will misunderstand the Coal Management Bureau, because I made the decision to stop production and rectify."

"You made my uncle's coal mine shut down and rectify! Is there really a problem with Xiaogou Coal Mine? Xu Xiyuan was surprised.

Li Rui nodded, and said with a straight face: "Xiaogou Coal Mine does have potential safety hazards, and it must be stopped for rectification." You may have also heard that some time ago, there was a water penetration accident in the Changshan Coal Mine, and more than 40 miners were trapped, and if it wasn't for the timely rescue, so many people's lives would be in danger. Coal mines are no better than the industry, deep underground, gas explosions, water penetration, and landslides may occur, all of which will kill people! Therefore, we must pay attention to safety and not leave the slightest hidden danger. Xiaogou Coal Mine does have problems in this regard, and if this coal mine is not allowed to stop production and rectify and meet safety requirements, it is not responsible for the miners, and it is also irresponsible for your uncle. I dare to say with my conscience that it is not beneficial to let Xiaogou Coal Mine stop production? I don't know why your aunt has such a big misunderstanding of our Coal Authority? ”

Li Rui's words were very sensational, and Xu Xiyuan, who listened to it, couldn't help nodding and said, "Brother Li, I believe what you said is true, there must be some misunderstanding here, anyway, I'm going to the mine tomorrow, and I'll know when the time comes." ”

In fact, Xu Xiyuan knew that although her uncle was an honest person, her aunt was a powerful person, but she couldn't say that she was not a person in front of Li Rui.

Then, Li Rui struck while the iron was hot, and talked about the necessity of safe production and various potential safety hazards similar to those in Xiaogou Coal Mine, and at the same time deliberately emphasized the consequences that such potential safety hazards are easy to cause. He didn't care if Xu Xiyuan understood it or not, as long as he could reach Xu Hao's ears.

Xu Xiyuan listened very seriously, interjecting from time to time and asking some questions she didn't understand, coming and going, and unknowingly she stayed with Li Rui until ten o'clock in the evening.

"Yikes! Brother Li, I'm going back, otherwise my family will be worried. Xu Xiyuan hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Li Rui drank some wine today, he was already excited, and he forgot to look at the time for a while, "Okay, anyway, I have already explained the matter to you clearly, I hope your uncle will not misunderstand us." I'll send you out. ”

Li Rui has been sending Xu Xiyuan to the alley, watching her ride a bicycle into the family courtyard of the county party committee before turning back, thinking about today, it is really a coincidence, the girl who happened to meet on the bus was actually Xu Hao's daughter, and happened to talk about it, I don't know how Xu Hao should feel when he heard what he said to Xu Xiyuan.

Xu Xiyuan came home, Xu Hao and Bai Mei hadn't slept yet, they were sitting in the living room watching TV, and when they saw Xu Xiyuan entering the door, Xu Hao said with a straight face: "You girl, you go out once and come back so late, a girl's family, it's not safe on the road, do you know!" ”

Xu Xiyuan said with a smile while changing her shoes: "If the road is not safe, it means that you, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, are not qualified." ”

"How do you talk, girl? Come back so late, why don't you let the adults worry at home? Although Xu Hao said that he was strict on the surface, he actually hurt this daughter to the top of his heart, so Xu Xiyuan was not afraid of him at all.

"Okay, Lao Xu, it's also time for my daughter to come back and get together with her classmates. Yuanyuan, are you hungry? I boiled red dates and white fungus soup, and I'll serve you a bowl. Bai Mei hurriedly said.

"I'm not hungry, Auntie, I have something to say to my dad." Compared with talking with Xu Hao's hippie smile, the relationship between Xu Xiyuan and Bai Mei is very stiff.

Bai Mei's face changed, and she said embarrassedly: "Okay, you talk, I'll go back to the room." ”

Watching Bai Mei walk into the room, Xu Hao frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "You girl, how many times have you told you, how can you talk to your mother like this." ”

Xu Xiyuan walked to the sofa and sat down, and said coldly with the same face: "My mother died a long time ago." ”

Hearing Xu Xiyuan say this, Xu Hao could only sigh, he had always felt deep guilt for his deceased wife, in order not to let Xu Xiyuan be wronged, so that he did not have children after marrying Bai Mei. Bai Mei is a good person, and she has always taken good care of Xu Xiyuan, but this girl has always been lukewarm to Bai Mei, just like an outsider. Bai Mei secretly didn't know how many times she had cried, and Xu Hao was also deeply helpless about this.

I wanted to say a few words, but looking at my unhappy daughter, Xu Hao could only sigh secretly and said, "Say, what do you have to say to me." ”

Xu Xiyuan was also thinking about the things that her aunt said at home that day, and said with a frown: "Dad, I always feel that there is a problem with the things that my aunt told you when she came to our house that day. Besides, my uncle's Xiaogou Coal Mine does have potential safety hazards, and what my aunt said was stopped without giving benefits, which is not reliable at all, Dad ......."

"Wait, wait! Where did you hear all these words? Xu Hao felt very puzzled in his heart, his daughter would never care about this, and if she could say this today, someone must have said something to her.

"I heard from a friend of mine that he works in the Coal Management Bureau, and his uncle's Xiaogou Coal Mine was ordered to stop production and rectify." Xu Xiyuan said.

"What does the Coal Authority work for? Who? How I've never heard you talk about it. When Xu Hao heard that this was the case, he hurriedly asked.

"His name is Li Rui, and he lives in the Li family compound next door to our family home, and he is the grandson of the original Dean Li of our College of Engineering."

Li Rui? This name Xu Hao is too familiar, not long ago he just vetoed the proposal to nominate Li Rui as the director of the Coal Supervisory Bureau at the Standing Committee, on the one hand, it is true that because of his uncle's wife's words, Xu Hao is usually low-key, but if someone really bullies him, then he will never give up. On the other hand, it is a reason that is not humane, one of his comrades-in-arms was assigned to work as a security cadre at Yenching University after changing jobs, and when he went to Yenching on a business trip to drink with this comrade-in-arms at the beginning of this year, his comrades-in-arms inadvertently talked about Li Rui, who was transferred from the Youth League Committee of Yanjing University to the Pengcheng City Planning Commission, and was very shameful about his behavior of playing with female students at Yanjing University. Now this Li Rui has been transferred to Nanqiao County, although Li Rui was very brave in the Changshan Coal Mine rescue operation before, but his preconceived impression made him not have the slightest good impression of Li Rui. Hearing that his baby daughter was actually friends with Li Rui, Xu Hao suddenly felt very nervous, and hurriedly asked, "How did you know him?" Is it with him to come back so late today? ”

Xu Xiyuan didn't realize it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I happened to meet him at the intersection when I came back from my classmates, so I stopped by his house and sat down." Dad, don't you know, his house is beautiful, he designed it himself, and I will ask him for advice in the future......"

Before Xu Xiyuan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xu Hao with a frown: "Yuanyuan, this person is not a good person, you have to pay attention, don't contact this person in the future, especially not to go to his house like today." ”

"Why? Why isn't he a good guy? Xu Xiyuan wondered.

For the bad things Li Rui did, Xu Hao really couldn't open his mouth in front of his daughter, and said angrily: "I told you that he is not a good person, I know him this person." It is also for your own good that you are told not to have any connection with this person. What kind of social experience do you have as a girl? Don't be fooled by the superficial appearances, some people are very dirty inside. ”

"Dad, I don't understand why the friends I know aren't good people? Why is it dirty inside? What people told me was that the reason why my uncle's coal mine was shut down for rectification was for the sake of safety, for the miners who went down to dig coal, and even more so for my uncle. "Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls are all rebellious, Xu Hao set Li Rui's sex without giving a reason, Xu Xiyuan was very unconvinced, not to mention that she had a very good impression of Li Rui.

Even if he is right in this matter, it does not mean that there is no problem with his character. By the way, you haven't answered me yet, how did you know him? When did you meet? In addition to being annoyed, Xu Hao was also worried that his opposition on the Standing Committee would not reach Li Rui's ears, and if he deliberately approached his daughter for this reason, this matter must be taken seriously.

"I met on the bus." Xu Xiyuan said quietly.

"When? Wasn't it when you came back this time? Xu Hao asked nervously.

"Oops! I met during the summer vacation, and I was not feeling well that day, so he took the initiative to give me the seat, and later got off the bus and called a tricycle for me with my luggage. Xu Xiyuan said impatiently.

Xu Hao had an impression of this, on the day Xu Xiyuan came back from summer vacation, she was really uncomfortable lying in bed and didn't even eat dinner, and when he came back from work, he wanted to take her to see a doctor after hearing about it, but Bai Mei said that she didn't need to go to the hospital for the woman's business, and he knew what was going on.

Xu Hao thought that Li Rui was only transferred to Nanqiao in September, and Xu Xiyuan and his acquaintance should have been purely by chance, but he was still not at ease, and continued to ask: "Then do you usually contact him a lot?" ”

Facing Xu Hao's constant questioning, Xu Xiyuan was very angry, she looked at Xu Hao and said word by word: "Dad, please don't bring your professional habits to the house in the future, don't see my friends as bad people." I'll tell you now, I've never been in contact with him, and I happened to meet him today. Couldn't I express my gratitude for helping me last time? There are also people who don't know that I am the daughter of the secretary of the political and legal committee of the county party committee, and you don't have to worry about what people want to use me to beg you to do. I just want to tell you today, what my aunt said is unreliable, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I will go to Xiaogou Coal Mine tomorrow, and I will understand when the time comes. ”

Xu Xiyuan turned around and left in a huff, returned to her room and closed the door heavily. Xu Hao sat there and let out a long sigh.
