"Minister Li sent it to you, you can keep it, and you are still curious about everything like a child." Yao Aiguo said.

Yao Xinli happily carried the starling and said to Li Zhengyi: "Then I'll take it"

Then he picked up the bird cage and went to his room.

"Secretary Yao, it's good for you to call me Zheng Yi, I'm still a junior in front of you, and you call me like this, which makes me very uncomfortable." Li Zhengyi said very seriously.

"Isn't this a child, it's not good to call you by your name, and you're a leader now." Yao Aiguo said.

"I'm a kid in front of you, what kind of leader?" Li Zhengyi's words made Yao Aiguo and his wife warm in their hearts.

"Zheng Yi, have you heard that Secretary Yao is leaving?" Han Ping asked.

"The grapevine has already come out, and I have long thought about it and asked it myself. Is this true?" said Li Zhengyi very solemnly.

"It's no secret anymore, I'm going to be in your organization department in a few days. I've already talked to me above, and I've been in this position for more than five years, so it's time for me to change places. Yao Aiguo suddenly felt a little emotional, paused here and said: "Zheng Yi, you are young and promising, I am very moved that you came to see me today, let's have a light meal at home at noon." ”

Li Zhengyi did not hesitate at all about the old leader's request, let alone politely push, and naturally said: "Then it will cause trouble for Aunt Han." ”

Then there is you and me, from the family to the work, and unconsciously to Yao Xinli's work.

"At this point in time, it's not easy to take this test or not. Now it's a person who goes to tea and cool, and there are only two places that can't be broken! Han Ping couldn't help but say to Li Zhengyi with some worry.

"Aunt Han, don't worry about this, this is the established policy of our county, and it will not change because Secretary Yao leaves. I am also a beneficiary of this policy three years ago, and everyone is very supportive of this policy, and no one dares to change it in this transparent way of hiring, and I can't get by. This application is still directly supervised by the organization department, direct interview, I can assure you, as long as Xinli has this strength, I think there is absolutely no problem. If you can't pass the written test, Aunt Han, it's useless for you to come to me! Li Zhengyi said very seriously, and at the same time had some embarrassed looks.

"Zheng Yi, do you think the two of us are that kind of people? Like Secretary Yao, he has been in the position of the grassroots level all these years, and there is no merit and hard work, that is, he goes directly to the city to ask for an index, and the leaders of the city have to consider it. In front of outsiders, Han Ping always calls her wife Yao Aiguo like this.

"Secretary Yao is not such a person, you haven't been working with him for a day and a half, if it weren't for his brainlessness, we wouldn't have let Xinli come back to take this position." He repeatedly said that if his own children don't take the lead in coming back for exams, how can he call on other people's children to come back? You say that you just don't turn around, but people think that this kind of exam is an excuse for the leader to arrange employment for his children. Xinli is still reluctant to come back, which was forced to come back by us. You said that Secretary Yao will leave immediately, if there is really a situation of being pushed down by others, how faceless! I was really relieved to hear you say this just now, as long as it is still as open and transparent as before, Xinli will not be able to pass the exam and we will not complain, don't you say? Han Ping said this, which made Li Zhengyi also very moved.

In the past three years of working under Secretary Yao, Li Zhengyi has truly felt the integrity in Secretary Yao's work. In today's society, there are really few such cadres, so he has always respected Secretary Yao. He heard the news of Secretary Yao's transfer half a month ago, but he was too embarrassed to ask. The other day he went to a meeting in the city and got definite information from the city party committee. Coincidentally, it was this time that he met a friend in the city who was in the business of rare birds, and this friend would give him a starling who could learn to speak. At first, Li Zhengyi didn't want it, but then he suddenly thought that Secretary Yao was leaving, and because he should send something to express his heart, he benefited from the policy led by Yao Aiguo, so that he went from an ordinary college student to the position of today's deputy director of the Organization Department. If it weren't for Secretary Yao, he would have to get to the position of deputy minister, I don't know how many years he would have to wait and how much it would cost. I have long wanted to thank Secretary Yao, but I don't know how to thank him, working under Secretary Yao, and the set of treats and gifts is completely missing in this process.

Now that he has a friend to give him this starling, which is a rarity, he rushed to send it over this weekend.

Li Zhengyi is 27 years old this year, but it has been four years since he graduated from college. He started school a year earlier and was only twenty-three years old when he graduated from college. And Yao Xinli is just the opposite of him, she went to school a year late, so she will be twenty-five years old when she graduates from college now.

In terms of age, he is only two years older than Yao Xinli, logically speaking, they should also know each other, but because of this simple morning and evening, they have less chance to get acquainted, and when Yao Xinli goes to high school, Li Zhengyi is already in his second year of college. Although the two do not know each other, the family background of the secretary of the county party committee has always put Yao Xinli in a psychological advantage, no matter what kind of occasion or what kind of person she faces, she never feels restrained and constrained. And Li Zhengyi also looks quite relaxed, and seems to be a frequent visitor to this house. When eating, sit around the table, like a family. But Yao Xinli was obviously not as interested in the young man in front of her who was wearing glasses, talking and good-looking, and was not as interested in the little starling next to her, and she didn't forget to tease it while eating: "It's time to eat, are you eating?" ”

"Have you eaten?" She said a word of starling and followed it, and her little head was still crooked, which was very funny, and from time to time it would make a few dog barks.

"What the fuck, what?" Starling suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made everyone laugh.

"This must have been taught by that friend of mine, it's only been in my hands for a few days!" After laughing, Li Zhengyi hurriedly made an explanation, afraid that the Yao family would misunderstand that he taught it.

After eating, except for Secretary Yao, who didn't do anything, several people were busy together, and soon the table was cleaned up. A few people sat down and started drinking tea and chatting, and Yao Xinli continued to play with the little starling.

At this time, Li Zhengyi suddenly found that Yao's mother was looking at him intently, and he didn't feel a panic in his heart, but he immediately realized something, and his eyes averted. He couldn't help but glance at Yao Xinli, who was still looking down and teasing the starling, Yao Xinli didn't pay attention to him at all, and he seemed to be much more settled in his heart.

"Zheng Yi, Aunt Han asked you something, but you have to tell the truth." Han Ping said kindly.

"Ask, Aunt Han." Li Zhengyi had already sensed what Han's mother was going to ask.

"Zheng Yi, do you have a partner now?"

"Aunt Han, not yet, don't worry, I'm only twenty-seven, and I haven't had time to think about this yet." Li Zhengyi guessed correctly, Yao's mother really asked this question, and Li Zhengyi continued casually: "Aunt Han asked me this, is she going to introduce me to someone?" ”

"You young people nowadays, how can you still be introduced by others, I'm just asking. You are like your own child in the eyes of me and Secretary Yao, can you not care? Judging from the tone and expression of Yao's mother's speech, Li Zhengyi has not yet answered the object, and she seems to be very satisfied.

Then he said to his daughter: "Xinli, don't keep playing with birds, talk together, you just graduated to the society, Zheng Yi is your teacher, learn from the scriptures and learn a lesson." ”

"Where did Aunt Han say, I still have to learn from you and Secretary Yao!" Li Zhengyi hurriedly said.

Yao Xinli also raised her head at this time, and said to Li Zhengyi with some embarrassment: "I can't interject when I hear you talk about work, I'll just listen." ”

"It's okay, I often come when you're not at home, and this place is almost half my home. Listen to Secretary Yao, you said that you are going to take the career test of our county? Li Zhengyi skillfully found the topic, breaking the somewhat restrained situation just now.

"At first, I didn't have this idea, it wasn't a phone call from the left and a phone call from the right, and they asked me to take the lead in supporting my dad's work and love my hometown, so they signed me up." Yao Xinli said with some complaint.

"What did you study in school?" Li Zhengyi asked.

"Chinese language." Yao Xinli replied.

"It's not bad, it's just the right match, do you know what the two business editors are that our county wants?" Li Zhengyi asked again.

"You know, isn't it the propaganda department?" Yao Xinli replied.

"Yes, from the Propaganda Department, it's really about your profession."

"yes, I really didn't think about it that much"

"Have you ever thought about it, what are you going to do if you can't pass the exam?" Li Zhengyi asked again.

At some point, the two of them were the only ones left in the living room.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I'm going to take the civil service exam, so I think my grades should be fine." Yao Xinli replied confidently.

"If you are so sure about the civil service exam, then our county will have no problem. I wish you every success! Li Zhengyi said with a smile.

"Who knows if there's anything wrong with this - my dad was transferred away again in this stall." Yao Xinli said with some concern.

"This has nothing to do with the exam, our organization department is responsible for this, you can rest assured."

The two young people narrowed the distance with a few words, and naturally chatted relaxedly.

"Have you talked about a boyfriend?" Li Zhengyi mentioned this first.

"No, you see my parents taking care of me like this, do you dare?" Yao Xinli said this, but she was still a little weak in her heart - she had never been in love publicly, but she had a secret crush, especially when she came back, she almost didn't give her first kiss.

This has nothing to do with the parents, or is it their own reason. Li Zhengyi said.

"So you talked about it in college?" Yao Xinli asked rhetorically.

"Hey, hey, no, we're the same." Li Zhengyi also looked a little embarrassed.

While the two were talking, Yao Xinli's college classmate Qin Huijuan suddenly came. Seeing that only Li Zhengyi and Yao Xinli were in the living room, he shouted: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't bother you two, right?" Shouldn't I shy away from it? Despite saying this, she took off her shoes and stared at Li Zheng intently, and without waiting for someone to let her, she sat directly between the two, looked at Li Zhengyi and asked, "Why do I see you so familiar, you can't be a classmate in high school and junior high school, right?" ”

Li Zhengyi politely moved his body to Yao Xinli's side, and asked suspiciously, "Which session are you from?" ”

Qin Huijuan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yao Xinli: "Huijuan, don't guess, let me introduce it first, this is my father's colleague, Comrade Li Zhengyi, deputy director of the county organization department." ”

"This is my college classmate, Qin Huijuan." After saying that, he laughed a few times.

At this time, the starling in the cage shouted in an urn again: "Qin Huijuan, Qin Huijuan." The starling raised his head and looked at Qin Huijuan as if he knew, Qin Huijuan was first startled, and then laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.

"Where did you get that? So interesting"! When he looked up again, he saw Li Zhengyi standing waiting to shake hands with him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello! ”
