Xia wanted to be too lazy to talk to them. Let's just say it! "It's Mayor Shan who came to visit Comrade Cao Qi, I came back from Yan City with Mayor Cao, followed by my parents, they are relatives of Mayor Cao, you'd better let us go up, otherwise Mayor Cao will be unhappy."

Seeing that Xia Xiang was young, the two policemen didn't believe him a little, so they said, "I'm sorry, we are on official business, and we can't just let people in." Do you have any documents, if so, please show them

Xia Cheng saw that the police's attitude was not good, so he said, "Xia Xiang, forget it, let's go back first, and come back when Mayor Cao is done." Now there are too many people, and it's hard to talk

Xia Xiang waved his hand, took out his work card and handed it to the police. The police opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a staff member of the Yan City Government. When I saw that the level was a deputy department, I was suddenly startled.

For a department-level prefecture-level city, the deputy department level has already initially entered the middle-level power circle, and the two of them suddenly shook their heads, knowing that Xia Xiang didn't talk nonsense, they saluted and saluted, and waved their hands to let them go, "Please go upstairs!" ，

Xia Cheng was so frightened that he asked while going upstairs, "Why did they salute you back?" How old are you, why did people salute you? ”

"It's nothing, Dad. If I drive a foul, the traffic police will have to salute first. In front of his parents, Xia Xiang didn't have anything to show off, but seeing that his father was so curious, he still told him the truth, "I just got promoted to the deputy department, maybe they think the deputy department is not too big or small, so they saluted."

"It's a deputy, really, son?. Xia Cheng was taken aback, the general manager of his unit, Shancheng Yijian, is the section level, and the deputy director is not at the same level as the deputy director of the Construction Bureau? Usually in his eyes, the general manager of Yijian is already angry, but he didn't expect that his son was bigger than his official, and his waist was straightened, "Don't lie to your father, my father has been timid all his life, and he is afraid when he sees a section-level cadre, if he has a son at the deputy department level, how can he sleep in the future?"

Unexpectedly, my father was also very funny when he spoke, so Xia Xiang showed him the documents. Fu Tiancheng rubbed his eyes for a long time before he believed that his son was really a deputy director-level leader. Shouted a few times in a row. Before I could say what's good, I arrived at the door of Cao's house?

Cao Shuhui had already heard the voice, opened the door, and enthusiastically let Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan in? Zhang Lan liked it when she saw Cao Shuji, and took Cao Shuhui's hand to ask for warmth, as close as a mother.

The room was full of people. Cao Yongguo was talking with a person, and the man who looked polite with glasses was obviously Shan Shiqi, the mayor of Shancheng.

Xia Xiang didn't have time to come forward to greet Cao Yongguo, but was stopped by Xia Cheng, Xia Cheng pointed at Shan Shiqi, and asked nervously, "That person is very familiar, I've seen it on TV, it seems to be the mayor of Shan City, I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

Xia Xiang nodded, "That's right." It's Mayor Shan

Xia Cheng was taken aback, "Mayor, what a big official, I don't dare to see it, why don't I go back first?"

Xia Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Cao is also the mayor, and he is the same level as Mayor Shan, why aren't you afraid?" Mayors are also people. When you don't talk on TV, you're also very amiable, so don't be afraid, dad. ”

Cao Yongguo also saw Xia Xiang and Xia Cheng here, so he took the initiative to stand up and greet him, "Old county, don't call me when you come over, I'm talking to Shan Fuchang, I didn't see you" Come on, sit down

Perhaps because he felt that Mayor Cao was close, Xia Cheng was not afraid of Cao Yongguo at all, and it was also because of his previous acquaintance. He and Cao Yongguo exchanged a few words, and as soon as he looked up, Shan Shiqi came to the front, and listened to Mayor Shan ask curiously, "Mayor Cao, who is this?"

Xia Cheng still has an instinctive fear of the mayor of this city, and he is about to retreat, Xia Xiang grabbed it, and said politely, "Hello Mayor Shan, my name is Xia Xiang, and I also work in the Yanshi Municipal Government, this is my father, Xia Xiang, director of the Office of the Summer Group Office, I have heard of your name a long time ago." When I saw me today, I was younger and more energetic than I imagined. Mayor Chen's urban village transformation team is very instructive, and the single-city government also intends to learn from the experience of the Yanshi Municipal Government, Director Xia, at noon, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I invite Mayor Cao to dinner, you must come, I still have questions to ask you for advice! ”

When Xia Cheng heard that the mayor was going to ask his son for advice, he felt boundless happiness and dizziness, and felt that everything was like a dream, and his feet seemed to be stepping on clouds, and he couldn't exert his strength lightly.

Unexpectedly, Shan Shiqi took Xia Cheng's hand again and said, "Lao Xia, you will also participate in a while, okay?" ”

The mayor opened his mouth to invite dinner. It was something that I couldn't think of before, Xia Cheng only felt that he had lost his ability to think, and he only knew that he nodded again and again but couldn't speak.

There was a chill for a while. Xia Xiangcai was even Ruohan a pound, and the person stayed in the corner. I didn't talk to anyone, and I looked depressed. He walked over and asked, "What's wrong, upset?" ”

Lian Ruohan had actually seen Xia Xiang a long time ago, but it was inconvenient for her to go over, so she stayed where she was, hearing Xia Xiang's words of concern. She suddenly felt a sour nose and almost burst into tears, "It's nothing, I'm not unhappy, I just feel that I'm so lonely and lonely, and I feel that the whole world is out of place with me."

Xia wanted to know that Lian Ruohan must have a sad past, but she didn't say it, he didn't want to ask, and she wasn't very gregarious, not as affinable as Cao Shuhui, and she could quickly gain the favor of others. Her coldness and pride. makes her both arrogant and alienated, in fact, thinking that she has to come back with herself for the New Year, why don't she want to experience the warmth and strong human touch of the family?

All of a sudden. Xia Xiangjue Lian Ruohan is so pitiful, he just wants to hug her into his arms and give her comfort and warmth.

But at this moment, it was obvious that he couldn't make such an outrageous move, so he smiled and comforted her, "Okay, don't be upset." It's a big deal to let you stay at my house at night, but you have to squeeze together with the Hui girl, okay? ”

"Hmm!" Lian Ruohan nodded obediently, obediently looking like a little girl who understood Zhuo, which was a gentleness that Xia Xiang had never seen before.

After the cold noise, under the invitation of Mayor Shan, Cao Yongguo had no choice but to agree to the banquet. Cao Yongguo's family, Xia Xiang's family, plus Lian Ruohan, a group of dozens of people followed the police car that opened the road and sped away.

Look at the car that has gone to the dust. Many people who built a family home were envious, and the mayor personally invited him to dinner, what kind of specifications and treatment is this? Everyone was jealous that Cao Yongwang had a good brother, and they were also jealous that Xia Cheng had a good son.

The banquet is arranged at the city hall guest house. Xia Xiang was arranged to share a table with Cao Yongguo and Shan Shiqi, and his immortals were separated by a screen and dined at another table. After Shan Shiqi delivered a speech, he also asked Cao Yongguo to say a few words. Cao Yongguo couldn't refuse. got up and said a few polite words, "Thank you Mayor Shan for your hospitality, between brother cities, there is no need to be so polite, everyone should eat, drink, and after the New Year, there is not so much attention." ”

After drinking three rounds, Xiao Shan Shiqi really talked about the setting, functions and working methods of the office of the urban village reconstruction team in Yan City. I consulted Xia Xiang in detail. Xia Xiang also knew everything and said everything, but he also saw that Shan Shiqi was a delicate person, and he consulted himself like this, which was actually a way to get closer to the relationship. The exhibition of a single city is too slow, and it is an old city, and there are not many urban villages that can be transformed.

However, for the enthusiasm of Shan Shi Temple, Xia Xiang also reciprocated with enthusiasm. He guessed correctly, Shan Shiqi's vision was very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that the relationship between Xia Xiang and Cao Shuhui was not ordinary, plus Xia Xiang was also a deputy department-level cadre of the Yanshi Municipal Government, young and promising, and his future was limitless, so it would not hurt to get acquainted with him as soon as possible. So he put down his body and took the opportunity to talk to Xia Xiang.

Xia Cheng and Zhang Lanke have never enjoyed the same table as the mayor, and they are panicked and nervous, let alone eating, and they can't sit still. Cao Shuhui saw the uneasiness of the two, so she leaned over to tell them some interesting things, and asked Xia Xiang about the troubles of small things, and as she talked, both of them relaxed.

Even Ruohan also came over to say hello to the two, Xia Cheng remembered Lian Ruohan's kindness, and greeted Lian Ruohan warmly. Even Ruohan was talking to the two with a smile, which was much more gratifying than the last time he came. However, it also made Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan look at each other, their eyes were full of questions and puzzles, why didn't such a good-looking girl go home during the New Year and come to Shan City? Don't be fine!

The meal was finally finished, Shan Shiqi enthusiastically insisted on sending Cao Yongguo home, Cao Yongguo resolutely refused, and finally Shan Shiqi did not insist, only sent a police car to open the road and send Cao Yongguo and his party back.

Back at home, Xiao Xia Chengcai can be regarded as talking to Cao Yongguo. While they were talking, Cao Shu vowed to pull Xia Xiang. Called Lian Ruohan, I want to go out to play. Xia Xiang said hello, drove on the Land Rover, and pulled the two of them to the street.

After an afternoon of crazy play, I came home. For dinner, Cao Shuhui and Lian Ruohan ate together at Xia Xiang's house. Xia An didn't forget to thank Lian Ruohan in person, Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan were also full of thanks, making Lian Ruohan blushing and waving his hand, "Don't thank me, uncle and aunt, don't always worry about a little thing, and I'm embarrassed to eat and live at home if I thank you." ”

Cao Shuhui came out to play a round, "That's it, uncle and aunt, don't be polite, Xia Xiang has already thanked Ruohan for you." Now Sister Lian is opening real estate in Yan City, and she happens to have a relationship with Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang helped her design a plan and, Sister Lian came to the house for the New Year, just because she felt that her uncle and aunt were amiable and like relatives. ”

Zhang Lan understood what Cao Shuhui meant, and said with a smile, "Okay, good, or Shuhui can speak, and Xiaolian can speak clearly, then Auntie won't be polite to you, live at home, don't be an outsider, just open your mouth if you want to eat, and Auntie will make it for you." My aunt gave birth to two stinky boys, and I have always regretted that I did not give birth to a daughter who knows cold and hot. For the next few days, I'll treat you as my daughter. ”

Lian Ruohan said "hey", and his eyes were red, "Then I will open my mouth if I want to eat." She deliberately glanced at Xia Xiang, her eyes were complex and profound, and she turned her head to Zhang Lan and said, "I want to eat eggplant-filled dumplings."

Lian Ruohan's tone was close to coquettishness, Xia Xiang's heart moved, he endured it, but he still couldn't help it, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. It was only now that Lian Ruohan really revealed the squeamishness and weakness that a girl should have, as if she was a little girl who longed for the pampering of her parents and told her little secret in her heart.

Zhang Lan was also infected by Lian Ruohan's emotions, and smiled lovingly, "Okay, okay, Auntie will give you a bag tomorrow." ”

When Xia wanted to withdraw his gaze. Inadvertently, Cao Shuhui's eyes were staring at him brightly, a little doubtful, a little confused, and a little ,... The taste of the small Qingdao is unknown. Let his heart, shocked. Hurriedly smiled at her, "slightly" publicly? Did I do well today? ”

Cao Shu smiled meaningfully, "Before just now, I have always behaved okay." Just now, it was a bit confusing

Oh no, isn't it true that the little girl has made eye contact between herself and Lian Ruohan, shouldn't it? The eye contact between him and Lian Ruohan just now. There is also no overly complicated meaning.

After the meal, Xia Xiang found a chance to be alone with Cao Shuji, and asked her what the meaning of what she said just now, and the little girl tilted her head, "It's nothing, you think too much." I actually just think that Sister Lian is quite pitiful, she doesn't go home, she definitely doesn't want to go back. We are her best friend now, we have to care for her more, take care of her, and yes, I have something I can't take care of, so I'll leave it to you. You seem to be quite attentive. Isn't it?.

As he spoke, the test came, and Xia Xiang hurriedly waved his hand, "I can only comfort and comfort her on the surface." Can't care deeply, after all, it's a bit inappropriate. Isn't it? I think you have to be closer to her, after all, they are all girls, and some things are easy to say. ”

Also, it seems to make sense Cao Shuhui sat on the bed. The calves kicked around restlessly, "You say, if you talk about every catty, a woman is a book." What it looks like in front of outsiders is the cover. How do I feel about my sister's appearance just now, as if I have opened the title page, you and she have more contact, have you entered her heart and read the secrets of her heart? ”

Xia Xiang immediately remembered the stamping theory he said when he kissed Cao Shuji, the little girl was still testing him, this reading has a profound meaning, and he had to guard against it, so he hugged Cao Shuhui, and first took a bite on his small mouth, and then said, "You mean, let me and Lian Ruohan get closer and closer, and then read her as if reading you?"

"What, the idea is so nasty." Cao Shuhui pushed Xia Xiang, but still didn't understand the hatred, and screwed him again, "Are men like you, who dares to fight with their ideas?" Men are so bad! Even my sister is so pitiful, you still want to harm her, it's really bad. ”

Xia Xiang screamed in his heart, he didn't take such a big beauty, and there were a few times when even Ruohan took the initiative to seduce him, but he didn't fall, he can be said to be a representative of an outstanding young man who resists beauty, of course, such a grievance has nowhere to tell, so he has to admit that he is unlucky, "It's not the idea of beating her, think about it, you have a pair of big eyes staring round next to you, I have a lustful heart and no lustful gall."

"Okay, you, admit that you already have dirty thoughts, don't you?" Cao Shuhui disagreed. pounced on Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang couldn't let her be bullied, turned over and pressed her under him, then up and down his hands, touched catty, enough, of course, his mouth was not idle, and he kissed enough, so close that Cao Shuhui begged for mercy again and again, "Don't make trouble, let me go." You make me salivate, how can you go out to meet people? You necrosed you

Cao Shuhui said that she had no face to see people, and when she went out for a while, she talked and laughed with Xia Xiang's mother. As if nothing happened, Xia Xiang secretly gave her a thumbs up and praised her for her ability. Cao Shuhui gave him a blank look, ignored him, but even Ruohan came to his side, "Did you kiss him?" It's a big person, what is the monkey anxious, I don't care".

Xia Xiang was stunned on the spot, and didn't say a word for a long time? It's amazing, if there are many women, there will be a lot of trouble. Whoever doesn't believe it, who has never experienced it personally!

The house is a three-bedroom and one-living room, and Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuhui are crowded together at night, next door to Xia Xiang. The soundproofing of the room is average, and you can hear the two of them chattering non-stop, but they can't hear what they are talking about, and there is laughter from time to time. Xia thought about it, if one day Cao Shuhui knew about him and Lian Ruohan, would he make a big fuss, or would he be angry and never pay attention to him again? I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so I fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Zhang Lan specially wrapped eggplant-filled dumplings for Lian Ruohan, and Lian Ruohan ate a lot and praised it. Zhang Lan saw that Lian Ruohan really liked it, and she was happy in her heart, so she asked Cao Shuhui what she liked to eat, and Cao Shuzhi said that she liked to eat fried pasta. Zhang Lan didn't say a word, so she fried the noodles, and Cao Shuhui, although she was not very skilled, learned decently.

Even Ruohan was not idle, and went to help. As soon as she made a move, she immediately showed Cao Shuhui's amateur Lian Ruohan, whether it was cutting vegetables or stir-frying, her skills were so high that even Zhang Lan was surprised. Xia Xiang looked at it from the sidelines, and thought in his heart, the big family really has rules, and the cultivation of girls not only has etiquette education, but also cooking skills, which is an all-round creation.

Cao Shudai was not convinced, found Xia Xiang and whispered, "I have been going to school and have no time to study, and I will finish my studies." In half a year, you can reach the level of a third-level chef, believe it or not? ”

"I believe it...... Bu Yatou is still quite interesting, she doesn't want to be left behind, she is a good seedling of a good wife and mother.

During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Cao Shuhui was called to her grandparents' house, and Lian Ruohan stayed. With Xia Xiang's family, she also felt unprecedented ease and happiness, and experienced the love and strong human touch of her family, Xia An followed Cao Shuji to call her sister Lian, Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan directly called her daughter, Lian Ruohan was very helpful to this kind of affectionate name, and answered happily every time.
