When he returned to the office after the meeting, Lin Yuan met Pan Zhenlin, the director of the forestry station, in the corridor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hello Stationmaster Pan, come and sit in my room?" Pan Zhenlin rarely comes to the second floor when he has nothing to do every day, and when he appears in the corridor on the second floor at this time, he should be looking for a leader who has something to do.

Pan Zhenlin really followed him into the office. This old Pan, did he come to the second floor today to find him? Although the relationship between the two is very good, he is not in charge of forestry, and he will not report to him.

"Secretary Lin, I thank you on behalf of my hometown!" As soon as he entered the door, Pan Zhenlin said to him with a smile.

"Thank me? Thank me for what? Lin Yuan was a little inexplicable.

"You came to our village the night before yesterday to guide flood prevention and disaster reduction, and the results are so great, of course I have to thank you." Pan Zhenlin reminded him with a grin.

"Oh, that's it, you don't have to thank you, I didn't do any work, it was all done by your brother Pan Zhenye." Lin Yuan reacted at this time, Pan Zhenlin's hometown is from Dongshantou.

Pan Zhenlin said: "Secretary Lin, you are so modest, I heard my cousin say, the night before yesterday, I really lost you, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "That's your cousin's modesty, in fact, what do I know?" ”

When Lin Yuan said this, he was actually not just modest. That night, if it weren't for Pan Zhenye pressing him on the side, and after he made suggestions, he gave him timely support, he really didn't dare to give orders casually. He has little practical experience, although he has ideas, but he lacks confidence, if it weren't for Pan Zhenye by his side to cheer him up, he wouldn't be so bold.

Pan Zhenlin said with a smile: "Okay, Secretary Lin, don't be modest." Suddenly, he changed his words and asked, "Secretary Lin, are you free at noon?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What are you doing?" Do you want to invite me? ”

Because of the medium of Dongshan, the two became very good friends. Despite this, Lin Yuan rarely joked with Pan Zhenlin. Pan Zhenlin is more honest and honest, and his personality is more loyal and honest, Lin Yuan's creed is to try to joke with honest people as little as possible. The reason for this is also very simple, honest people are more sincere, and jokes are easy to take seriously. But today he was more happy, and he couldn't help but joke with Lao Pan.

Unexpectedly, Pan Zhenlin really said: "Yes! If you have time, I'd like to treat you to a meal. It's been almost two months since you've been in town, and I haven't treated you to dinner yet. ”

Lin Yuan laughed, "Lao Pan, since I came to town, you have always helped me, if you want to say please eat, I also invited you?" Well, I'll invite you at noon, and let's go to a quiet restaurant on the street and have a good drink. ”

Pan Zhenlin hurriedly said: "Secretary Lin, I came to invite you, why did you invite me?" Just give me face! I don't invite you to the restaurant, I invite you to eat at home. I'm living in the town, you've been in town for so long, you haven't been to my house yet, so go sit down today. I'll let your sister-in-law fry a few dishes, let's drink some casually, it's also a little bit of my heart, you have to let me do my best landlord's friendship. ”

Pan Zhenlin said very sincerely, for such a sincere person, Lin Yuan is not easy to shirk, so he said: "Since this is the case, then I am better to be respectful, and I just happened to go to meet my sister-in-law." ”

Pan Zhenlin immediately rejoiced: "That's it, when I talk to your sister-in-law about you, your sister-in-law always asks me to invite you to sit at home." I said you were too busy at work and didn't have time. Your sister-in-law said that no matter how busy she is, she has to eat, and she doesn't have time to have a meal? If you go today, your sister-in-law won't talk to me every day in the future. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then I have to thank my sister-in-law a lot, I have to give my sister-in-law a few more glasses at noon today." ”

Pan Zhenlin said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law doesn't drink, you don't have to respect her, just let her respect you when the time comes." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "You talk nonsense, isn't that not big or small?" ”

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Lin Yuan said again: "You tell me the house number, and I'll go over by myself later." He knew that although the town's family compound was full of bungalows, the houses were arranged very neatly, and they were all numbered like those in the city.

Pan Zhenlin knew what he meant, so he said, "It's going to be time to get off work soon, don't wait, let's go now." ”

Lin Yuan shouted: "I said Lao Pan, you just go with me, I can't go empty-handed, the first time I go to see my sister-in-law, you can't let me meet with my mouth only." ”

Pan Zhenlin said with a smile: "Just by greeting with your mouth, your sister-in-law will be happy to close her mouth." Besides, it was me and your sister-in-law who invited you to be guests today, and if you want to mention things again, won't the nature change? ”

When he met such a real person, Lin Yuan had no choice but to follow him obediently.

The town's family compound is only separated by a wall from the town government, and there is no store in the middle, Pan Zhenlin has been walking outside Lin Yuan to block him in case he turns around. Lin Yuan is a Sven person, and he didn't want to be dragged on the street with Pan Zhenlin, so he gave up the idea of buying things and honestly followed Pan Zhenlin to his home.

The town's family yards are all bungalows, and each family has a yard that is not too big or small. The courtyard of Pan Zhenlin's house was actually opened up into a vegetable garden by him, in which beans, eggplants, and cucumbers were planted, and a circle of loofahs was planted along the wall.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Lao Pan, your yard is still very tidy, it has the smell of a small farm yard." ”

Although Lin Yuan has been living in the city since graduating from university, as a peasant child and a literati, he has a soft spot for this kind of farmhouse-style courtyard full of life and vegetable garden atmosphere. However, his home is in a building in the city, and he can't experience the fun of a farmer's courtyard, and now when he sees Pan Zhenlin's small courtyard, he immediately feels very warm.

Pan Zhenlin said with a smile: "Other people's families grow some flowers and grass, but your sister-in-law and I think those things are flashy and unreal, and it is not as good as growing some vegetables." ”

Pan Zhenlin's wife heard the sound and hurriedly came out of the house.

Lin Yuan said to Pan Zhenlin: "Old Pan, this is my sister-in-law, right?" He had never met Pan Zhenlin's wife, and although it could not have been someone else who came out of his house, he still used this kind of inquiry-style greeting. The town's family courtyard is an open structure, what if it is a relative of Pan Zhenlin's family or a neighbor who comes to visit the house? Wouldn't it be a little embarrassing to say "sister-in-law is good" directly in that case?

Pan Zhenlin said: "Yes, this is your sister-in-law." ”

He introduced to his wife again: "This is Secretary Lin." ”

Pan Zhenlin's wife is in her forties, with a very kind face, she said to Lin Yuan very enthusiastically: "Welcome Secretary Lin, our old Pan often talks to me about you, saying that you are talented and good." I said that you only know what you say, why don't you invite Secretary Lin to come to your house to sit? He said you were too busy at work and didn't have time. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to Lao Pan's nonsense, he didn't invite me at all, he wanted to invite me early, I would have come a long time ago." ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he couldn't make such a joke with Pan Zhenlin, he was a real person and would take it seriously, so he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I joked with Lao Pan, usually I do have a lot of things." I have a good relationship with Lao Pan, and I always want to come over to meet my sister-in-law, but I can't find time. ”

Lin Yuan is not all an excuse when he says this, he is usually quite busy, and there are a lot of wine venues. Almost every day in the town, a higher department came to "inspect and guide the work", and he was often "arranged" by the office to accompany people to dinner.

Pan Zhenlin's wife said with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of things in the town, not to mention that you are the leader, even our old Pan, the big soldier, is often too busy to stay at home." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Sister-in-law, Lao Pan is the stationmaster of our town's forestry station, and he is the head of the department, how can he be a big soldier?" ”

Lin Yuan said this, obviously to let Lao Pan have face in front of his wife, but in fact, the head of the forestry station is a unit-level cadre, what kind of leader is it?

Pan Zhenlin smiled self-deprecatingly and didn't say anything, Lin Yuan felt that Pan Zhenlin's smile was obviously bitter and sour.

He could feel what was behind the sourness. There are few opportunities for promotion in townships and towns, and even more so for cadres like Lao Pan, who do not have a diploma, are even more slim. When he was young, he was a clerk, and he is still a clerk until he retires. This is the current situation of grassroots officialdom today, there are more monks and less porridge, and no one can do anything.

Pan Zhenlin's wife smiled: "He is a little stationmaster, what kind of leader is he?" ”

He hurriedly asked Lin Yuan to say: "On a hot day, don't stand outside, hurry up and come to the house to cool off." ”

Lin Yuan also reacted quickly, the topic that was inadvertently caused was indeed not too appropriate, he looked at the small courtyard, and immediately changed the topic, "Let me inspect your vegetable garden and see if there are any fruits that can be picked?" ”

Lin Yuan's rapid transfer of this topic was just right, and Pan Zhenlin was immediately aroused.

"There are cucumbers that can be picked, Secretary Lin, hurry up and pick one to taste. The cucumbers I planted were new varieties and tasted crisp and delicious, with a hint of sweetness. Pan Zhenlin watched with Lin Yuan and introduced him "proudly".

"That one can be picked, Secretary Lin, you can take it off quickly." Pan Zhenlin saw a cucumber that could be picked, and shouted excitedly to Lin Yuan. In his logic, picking fruits in the vegetable garden should be done by hand, so that it will be more interesting and sweeter to eat. Therefore, although he saw the target, he did not pick it with his hands, but shouted for Lin Yuan to pick it himself.

His idea is the same as Lin Yuan's, Lin Yuan also thinks so, what he pursues is the pleasure and comfort of picking by himself, and as for eating, it is secondary.
