Compared with the Jiangnan region, Yanjing in June is still relatively cool, Chen Mingyuan woke up in the morning, looked at the morning sun on the horizon, remembered the fog that covered the sky a few years later, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

After washing, Wei Rongrong knocked on the door on time, said hello, and invited Chen Mingyuan to the restaurant for dinner.

When I came to the restaurant, as soon as I sat down, the waiter walked in with a steaming tray, and Wei Rongrong said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, don't look at you staying in Ruining for so long, you must have never tasted this." ”

Looking at the new tender and delicate chaos in the tray porcelain bowl, Chen Mingyuan smiled, "I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

Big bone soup and small wontons are traditional snacks in the south of the Yangtze River, in the Wenhai area, you can often see hawkers shoulder-picking, carts pushing along the street to sell, whether shoulder-picking or cart-pushing, there must be two cabinets. A cabinet is equipped with a stove, on which is placed a round belly pot, a few pork leg bones are boiled in the pot, the boiling water is boiling, the soup color gradually turns from milky white to clear, the lid of the pot is opened, the fragrance is fragrant, and the hungry worms in the stomach of diners can be awakened through a few alleys. Another cabinet is divided into several compartments, one of which contains various spices: minced chives, sesame oil, fresh spicy powder, salt, monosodium glutamate; There is a small pot of whole meat filling and a large plate of wonton wrappers in one grid; One compartment is full of washed white porcelain bowls; In the remaining large compartment, there are several thermos and a small pot.

As soon as the diners arrive, the vendor stops the load or cart, asks how much the price of the small wontons is, chats with you, takes the wonton wrappers and spreads them in the palm of his left hand, and scrapes the wonton wrappers in the meat filling with a wooden spoon with his right hand, and when he closes and shakes his left hand, a small wonton flies into the empty bowl in front of him. In a few words, the empty bowl was full, the vendor moved down the round belly pot, replaced it with a small pot, poured water into the thermos, put down the wontons, took out the white porcelain bowl from Xiaogery, and asked again, want green onions? Want to be spicy? Salty taste? Ask clearly, put the seasoning, scoop a spoonful full of broth in the round belly pot and pour it into the white porcelain bowl, at this time the wontons are also cooked, scoop up a pink water chestnut like floating, diners hold the bowl must be even the wonton with soup to eat a clean, it is three or nine days, but also sweaty, the whole body is comfortable.

Wei Rongrong said on the side: "Secretary Chen, this chaos is different from those sold on the street, this is our family's ancestral craft, people boil soup with one leg bone, add water to the soup, a pot of soup is full from morning to night, I am boiling soup with two leg bones, one time, you can eat it while it's hot." ”

Chen Mingyuan picked up the spoon and scooped a chaos, blew it cold, and took a small bite gently, and suddenly the aroma was overflowing, and he couldn't help but secretly praise, the people in Ruining's Beijing Office still have a very good way, eating Jiangnan special flavor dishes in this kind of courtyard, the cost is not much and it is full of characteristics, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that he was satisfied with eating, Wei Rongrong's anxiety was mostly dispelled, although she was quite unimpressed with her father-in-law's opponent at first, but the things she experienced yesterday witnessed Chen Mingyuan's clever methods of grace and power, as well as his duty to defend himself.

"By the way, Rong Rong, how long has it been since you and your lover went back to see Secretary Liu?" Chen Mingyuan suddenly asked, smiling, "Just to talk about family life, last time my colleagues and I went to pay a birthday to your mother-in-law, your two sons and daughters were not there." ”

Wei Rongrong's face was a little unnatural, but when she met Chen Mingyuan's friendly smile, she still let go of her scruples and said with a wry smile: "I also said that I would go back that time, but Xiao Nan was not happy to ......"

Xiao Nan is Liu Yuli's only son Liu Xiaonan.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Rongrong whispered: "The relationship between Xiao Nan and his father has not been very good, how to say it, Xiao Nan always thinks that his father is too strict with him, from school to work, everything has to be arranged, after a long time, Xiao Nan can't stand it, at the end of the year, in addition to going back for the New Year, I would rather stay here on ordinary holidays, I can't persuade him, like a cow, I can't persuade him!" ”

Seeing the helplessness on Wei Rongrong's face, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, thinking about it, this father and son really have something in common, they both like to be self-centered, but the son can't resist Lao Tzu, so he simply can't be out of sight and out of mind.

This is other people's housework, and Chen Mingyuan is not good at putting his beak too much, so he casually mentioned a few words: "Secretary Liu is certainly stronger, but in fact, his character is not bad, and doing these things must be for Xiao Nan's good, maybe the way is extreme, but as a son, how can you guarantee that you are always right, the key is to communicate more, the family understands each other, and there is no dead knot that cannot be untied." ”

Seeing Chen Mingyuan's such a pertinent evaluation of her father-in-law, Wei Rongrong couldn't help but admire him a little more, and said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, you really should talk about Xiao Nan in person, he will definitely listen to you." ”

Chen Mingyuan laughed, and then the mobile phone rang, glanced at the number, and then looked up and said, "You are busy with your going first, and I will arrange today's itinerary myself." ”

Wei Rongrong knew that it was inconvenient for her to listen to the phone, nodded, got up and left.

After the phone was connected, before Chen Mingyuan could speak, Mu Jiayin's bright crisp voice came from the other end: "Secretary Chen, I have gained a lot from visiting relatives and friends in Yanjing City in the past two days, and I don't have time to call me back?" ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled, listening to the gentle voice as light as a bell, looking at the light outside the window, and his mood was even more happy, "I'm afraid that my head will be sharpened everywhere, and it will not be as good as the door opened by you with a few phone calls." ”

Mu Jiayin burst out laughing, and it could be seen that she was still in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "Okay!" Just for your sweet mouth, this girl is kind today, and I will give you a generous gift with the icing on the cake! ”

Chen Mingyuan suddenly remembered yesterday's short message.

"I made an appointment for you yesterday, you can go over and talk directly, I think, as long as you don't have a wine bag or rice bag, you should be able to negotiate." Mu Jiayin's voice on the other end of the phone was fast, and her tone was also very light, "You know, it's Wang Xiuquan." ”

Wang Xiuquan.

Chen Mingyuan suddenly remembered the boy who wore gold-wire glasses, and was a little confused, not that he had doubts about Wang Xiuquan's business, but according to his previous understanding, he knew that the Wang family had good energy in the propaganda mouth, Wang Xiuquan's father was the director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, of course, this was last year, with the change of office, it is estimated that the work will be adjusted separately, but it will not be out of the ideological field.

However, he came to seek industry to revitalize the economy of the county's Xishan District, and he really couldn't think of what role the cultural project could have on that barren and barren land.

At first glance, it sounds like two unbounded realms!

Mu Jiayin also noticed his confusion, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, it's a waste of brain cells, you will know the Tao when you go, anyway, I won't be idle and fool you." ”

Chen Mingyuan sighed: "My thinking is getting more and more unable to keep up with your flash. ”

"That's, I don't have the ability to have a three-board axe, how can this girl be embarrassed to give advice behind you."

Mu Jiayin snorted a little proudly, and after speaking, the two laughed in unison.

Chen Mingyuan thought of this proud and intelligent beautiful woman, who repeatedly selflessly made suggestions for herself, and felt both moved and guilty in her heart.

The other end was silent for a while, and then a gentle and deep voice came from the phone: "By the way, I don't have time to accompany you this time, I made an appointment with Qu Lao today, and I have to go to Yuquan Mountain to visit him." ”

Chen Mingyuan knew that her affairs had reached a critical stage and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

When it comes to the political decision-making of the Mu family, it is inconvenient for Chen Mingyuan to ask more, but he has a foresight for the future, and he still hopes to give Mu Jiayin some help in this matter as much as possible.

Mu Jiayin sighed and said eloquently: "It's still difficult to say, the family has their own opinions, but my second brother prefers to continue to follow the old path." ”

Following the old path, Chen Mingyuan knew that Mu Dingyin meant to continue to stand on the side of the old regime's power, after all, in addition to the situation in the middle of the sea system, on the other hand, the new monarch still did not control the military power, as the saying goes, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, without the allegiance and support of the army, how can the waist pole be straight?

In fact, not only Mu Dingyin, but also Chen Guoliang, Cen Ruiwen, and even Lu Bonian and other princes probably thought in their hearts that the faction headed by Comrade He Xiangdong would still be vigorous for a long time, and the new monarch would not be able to do much in the first few years.

As a person who has come over, Chen Mingyuan also knows that this prediction is not unreasonable, in fact, the residual power of the old ruling group will indeed continue for many years, but everything is only temporary, and those who can ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan will not be mediocre people, and perhaps it will not be long before the arrival of a storm will bring about drastic changes in China's political map.

"Your brother's choice is still very well-founded, and whoever it is, nine times out of ten will make this choice." Chen Mingyuan pondered the wording, and reminded as openly and honestly as possible: "However, the words left by the great man of the founding of the country should not be ignored, don't cover your eyes for floating clouds, and the scenery should be long-term, and the prosperity in front of you will be prosperous, but it is difficult to guarantee that when a gust of wind blows, everything may become a passing cloud." ”

"What do you mean......"

Rao is Mu Jiayin is extremely intelligent, and he was also surprised for a while, you must know that the position of the Chen family has always been closely followed by the Zhonghai Department and Comrade He Xiangdong, but as the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family, Chen Mingyuan would actually say such an earth-shattering statement, which is to tell himself, if it spreads out, it may set off a big political storm!

"I don't mean anything else, it's to advise you on big things, it's best to take a long-term view, sometimes the left and right are a bit inferior, but at the same time, it is also the most appropriate way, there is no harm in taking a steady step." At this point, Chen Mingyuan quipped: "Okay, let's go ahead and act in two ways, and strive for double flowering, so that the two of us can make a name for ourselves in Sijiu City." ”

Mu Jiayin was so amused that she couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "Who wants to make a name for himself with you, it's a shame!" ”
