Chapter 39: Chestnuts from the Fire (I)
In the evening, Sister Lan received a call from Tang Yi when she was cooking, saying that she would not come back to eat, Sister Lan looked at the shrimp that was burned red, licked her lips, and she and her daughter could feast again tonight.
Yesterday's little turmoil has temporarily subsided, and Bao'er said that Xiaoyun had apologized to her when she went home, how much do you think the child has? It is estimated that she was obedient after being criticized by the teacher for a few words, and even listened to Bao'er talk about the scene where she and Xiaoyun played, Sister Lan couldn't help but be funny, the world of children should not be understood with the eyes of adults.
I met the green jeep again this morning, maybe I saw Bao'er and Xiaoyun greeting each other affectionately, Xiaoyun's mother didn't say anything except a few blank eyes to Sister Lan, probably a little afraid of this spicy village girl.
"Zila" the reddish prawns were fried happily in oil, Sister Lan patiently turned them over with a small shovel, the aroma wafting in the frying pan alarmed Bao'er, she secretly came to the kitchen, biting a finger and staring at the shrimp in the pot, Sister Lan inadvertently looked back at her, and scolded: "Go, go, do your homework, look at your gluttony, no wonder Uncle Tang doesn't look down on you!" ”
Bao'er returned to the living room aggrieved, but she thought to herself, does Uncle Tang really like me?
After the mother and daughter had eaten, Sister Lan cleaned up the dishes, drove Bao'er to the bedroom to study, lay on the sofa and watched TV as usual, and occasionally saw her lazy appearance from the mirror of the combination cabinet, smiling smugly, her skin seemed to be getting better and better.
The doorbell dingdong, Sister Lan pulled her slippers to open the door, and when she opened the door, she was stunned, and there was a man and a woman outside the door, the man was quite Sven, the suit and leather shoes, the key is the woman, know, Xiaoyun's mother!
Originally, Xiaoyun's mother showed a humble smile when she saw the door open, but when she saw Sister Lan's smile froze, she pointed at Sister Lan and said in a lost voice: "You, why are you here?" ”
The man pulled Xiaoyun's mother and said a little angrily: "How can you talk?" "Looking at the intimacy of the action, it should be a family of two.
Sister Lan saw that the man smiled flatteringly at herself, and she already had a bottom in her heart, and she was not a big leader in her posture, and she should be a little worse than Minister Li that day.
Sister Lan straightened her chest and said proudly, "Who are you looking for?" ”
The man was dazzled by Sister Lan's towering chest, hurriedly turned his gaze away, and said with a smile: "We are here to see Secretary Tang, and I am Zhou Haijun from the Political Axe Office." ”
Sister Lan squinted at Xiaoyun's mother, and saw that Xiaoyun's mother lowered her arrogant head, not to mention the happiness in Sister Lan's heart, and said in a pretentious manner: "Secretary Tang is not at home, you can come back another day." ”
Director Zhou was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't, can you let us go in and wait for him for a while, you see, it's not easy for us to come here." ”
Sister Lan frowned and didn't speak, Xiaoyun's mother was helpless, knowing that she was waiting for her to be soft, so she had to beg: "Sister, let's wait for Secretary Tang." ”
Sister Lan put on a smiling face, got out of the way, and said with a smile: "Come in, come in, I'm a hospitable person, especially if I have a temper, I like to make friends the most." ”
Director Zhou and his wife entered the house, Sister Lan used to make tea and send drinks to them, but she was really bored, and they chatted with each other, when Sister Lan introduced herself, she said that she was the sister of Secretary Tang's girlfriend, and she temporarily lived here with her daughter to take care of Secretary Tang.
Only after talking did he know that the man was the office director, and Xiaoyun's mother opened a clothing store by herself.
Sister Lan smiled at the moment: "No wonder Xiaoyun has a car to pick up and drop off from school every day, it turns out to be Director Zhou's daughter." ”
Director Zhou was shocked when he heard this, the Yanjing jeep was eliminated by the previous county political axe leaders, and it was assigned to the name of the political axe office, and after a long time, it became Director Zhou's private car, but if Sister Lan's words reached Secretary Tang's ears, the matter would be big or small, and he was busy laughing and said: "Xiaoyun sprained her foot a few days ago, so I picked her up a few times." ”
Sister Lan just said it casually, seeing Director Zhou's face change greatly, she hurriedly explained to herself, and couldn't help but laugh, and said in her heart These officials are really interesting, not to mention the leaders of the county party committee before, even the heads of the town themselves feel that they are full of style and unattainable, but now it's good, how do you feel that these officials are no different from clowns.
However, Sister Lan knew that if it weren't for Secretary Tang's banner, people would not show half a smile to her.
Anyway, Sister Lan's vanity was still greatly satisfied, Xiaoyun's mother had probably turned a corner, began to flatter Sister Lan, took Sister Lan's hand and sighed: "I've seen your sister, gentle and beautiful, not to mention how noble, I didn't expect my sister to be no better, sister, come to my clothing store another day, I'll help you change a few clothes, and you will be more beautiful when you are dressed up." ”
Director Zhou looked at the watch from time to time, a little impatient, and a little apprehensive in his heart, I don't know how Secretary Tang would reply to himself, he came this time because of the personnel transfer of the county party committee, a few days ago Secretary Yao suddenly resigned from the position of director of the county party committee office, this is a fat shortage, the director of the county party committee office is not only the big housekeeper of the county party committee, and the secretaries can have close contact, and as long as the qualifications are enough, there is a great chance to enter the Standing Committee sequence, Director Zhou immediately set his eyes on this position, of course, anyone with a discerning eye can guess the mystery of Secretary Yao's resignation, probably wants to promote his own people into the Standing Committee, who made Secretary Yao lose face in the Standing Committee a few years ago.
Director Zhou felt that he had a good relationship with Secretary Yao, and on the day he got the news, he boarded Secretary Yao's door, but Secretary Yao only said: "The director of the county party committee office is a very important position." Director Zhou has already realized that he is not on the list of Secretary Yao's search, but Director Zhou is not desperate, officialdom is like this, everything is possible, the key is operation, Director Zhou was active for two days, and finally landed on Secretary Tang's door.
Although Secretary Tang didn't sell his face at all last time, but discounted his nephew's arm, Director Zhou calculated that this matter would be beneficial to himself, and the officialdom didn't pay attention to what cheekiness or shamelessness, Secretary Tang treated himself like that, and he also climbed to the door, only showing his sincerity, which was a shame in the eyes of outsiders, and a plus in the eyes of the leader.
It's like there is a clerk in Director Zhou's office, who writes articles full of loopholes, and Director Zhou is a famous pen of the county political axe, and he is the most pursuit of perfection, and the clerk's articles will be scolded by Director Zhou every time, but this clerk is the most liked by Director Zhou.
Fortunately, Director Zhou and his family did not wait for a long time, less than nine o'clock, Tang Yi entered the house accompanied by Chen Dahe, and when he saw a guest, Chen Dahe laughed and left, of course, he did not forget to rub the two red pandas, and Director Zhou was confused.
Tang Yi sat on the sofa, took the black tea handed by Sister Lan, took a sip, and sighed: "Drinking tea is green in summer and red in winter, the laws summarized by the ancients over hundreds of years always have their own truth, just like being an official, the ancients said that learning and excellence are good, and it is said that it is Director Zhou who can really be a good official, and you who are scholars." "Director Zhou graduated from a secondary school, not the kind of diploma that he studied later, and he really had to be regarded as a scholar in the Yanshan leadership team at that time.
Director Zhou smiled humbly, wondering in his heart the meaning of Tang Yi's words, was he really praising himself? Or do you have a habit of being a scholar? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, and after so many years, he is no longer the teenager who shouted to work hard for the rise of China when he just graduated.
Tang Yi slowly sipped the tea and said with a smile: "Director Zhou doesn't have to be humble, I have read many articles written by you, and they all have one thing in common, that is, the combination of theory and practice, and a clear position, for example, your article "Three Don'ts in the Construction of Spiritual Civilization" The entry point is very good, starting from your practical experience in your daily work, it is very thought-provoking." ”
Director Zhou didn't expect that he posted a tofu-like article in the city morning newspaper Secretary Tang also noticed it, and even knew his pen name, and even more with Secretary Tang's warm encouragement, he felt warm all over, to be honest, he was still a little afraid when he came to Tang Yi's house, last time Tang Yi's gloomy face impressed him too deeply, and he was suddenly praised by Tang Yi, and his excited head was a little dizzy.
Thinking that Secretary Tang also writes articles, probably Secretary Tang prefers people who write articles. Thinking about it this way, Director Zhou felt that he had come to the right place today.
Director Zhou's face became more and more modest: "Secretary Tang has won the award, how can the few things I wrote enter your eyes?" ”
Tang Yi said with a smile: "Being too modest is pride, I think you are at your level, and being the director of the office is a bit bent." ”
Director Zhou was very happy in his heart, although he didn't say why he came, but he also had a score in his heart when he wanted to come to Secretary Tang, the meaning of Secretary Tang's words was at least recognized by his own level, and he knew that Tang Yi could not directly nod to himself.
After pondering for a while, Director Zhou said goodbye with a smile, and when Sister Lan sent them to the door, Director Zhou had an idea, secretly took out a red envelope and stuffed it to Sister Lan, and said, "Miss Xia, please take care of it in the future." ”
