readx; Tian Wenjian really wants to have a long-lost reunion year and feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but if there are too many people, it is another matter. With the arrival www.biquge.info of his father, sister and brother-in-law and Wu Bolan, the three-bedroom apartment lent to him by Chen Hongjun was overcrowded, and even two wire beds were put in the living room, otherwise it would be a problem to sleep.

It's not that he is reluctant to book a hotel, in fact, the passenger flow dropped sharply during the Spring Festival, and the room rates of major hotels are still very discounted. It's just that Wu Bolan's family insisted on refusing to go, saying that they wanted to come back to have a lively reunion year, and it was better not to come back if they went to the hotel.

There are more people to be lively, it is indeed a truth, but this Tian Wenjian is busy. You must know that arranging these old and young people is the first step, and tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve is the peak flow of people.

“…… The third family will arrive in the afternoon, and the fourth will not come back, but his daughter-in-law will definitely come. The eldest eldest eldest eldest ”

Professor Tian Da counted the number of people with his fingers, and at the same time rushed to the busy kitchen, and continued: "Not to mention Sister Chen and Yongjun, they actually moved all the New Year's goods here, and they are determined to stay here to accompany you for the New Year." ”

There are a lot of people, and if they all come, it is estimated that they will not be able to stand still. Old Man Wu scratched his head, and said with a wry smile: "I knew that it would be better to stay in a hotel, so many people come at once, not to mention that I can't stay, I'm afraid even eating will be a problem." ”

Wu Xiaoyan, who was chatting with Xiao Na on the side, couldn't help but look back and smile: "Dad, I thought you didn't regret it." But it's too late to say anything, I just walked around with Cortana, almost all the decent restaurants are full, and you won't want to book another Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

"What then?" The old man was anxious, with a worried expression on his face.

"Old Wu, isn't it just a meal?"

Without waiting for Tian Wenjian to speak, his father Tian Qianqian laughed and said: "There is no decent restaurant within a radius of dozens of miles from our hometown, what happened to Zhang Luo, who is not my own family?" Besides, it's not that there is no time to prepare, so many people are idle, so buy more chicken, duck and fish and come back to make it themselves. ”

"Dad, the Chinese New Year in the north is different from our hometown!"

Liu Yonghong, the brother-in-law who urged his son to do his homework, turned around and reminded with a smile on his face: "Let's just make a table of big fish and meat for the New Year, and people want to eat dumplings for the New Year." ”

"Then buy ready-made, it's not like there's nothing in the supermarket." Tian Qianqian is worthy of being the village party secretary for most of his life, and with a wave of his hand, he said categorically: "Go buy two more pots, right...... You have to have two round tables and tables, chairs and benches, otherwise you won't even have a place to sit. ”

After all, this is someone else's house, Wu Bolan pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Wen Jian, what do you see?" ”

Thinking that the junior brothers were not masters of eating and drinking, Tian Wenjian nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that you can't really book a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but I just don't want to trouble people because of this little thing." Since everyone has no opinion, let's do it at home. ”

The general direction is set, and the next step is action. The matter started because of Wu Bolan, Wu Xiaoyan naturally would not sit idly by, not only strongly asked to bear all the expenses, but also pulled her Singaporean Chinese husband who came to China for the first time, and went downstairs with Chen Yongjun and Liu Yonghong to urgently purchase New Year's goods; Father Tian, Mother Tian, Xiao Na, Xiao Ling and Chen Jie once again cleaned up the room so that the guests could have a place to sit; This does not mean that Professor Tian Da can be idle, he has a more important task - to accompany Wu Bolan to An's house to negotiate with Mr. An!

"Alan, was that afternoon shower comfortable?"

Alan, Wu Xiaoyan's son, Chen Jianian in Chinese, is 13 years old and is a first-time visitor to China, just like his father. The bathing industry is very developed in China, but it is rare in the United States, and he is full of curiosity about it, and as soon as he returns, he clamored for his grandfather to take him to take a bath, wondering what is the difference between it and the ancient Roman public baths in the history books.

He is the heart and soul of the old man, no matter where he goes, he has to take him with him, and it is no exception to go to Anjia to negotiate with his old opponent. Seeing that Uncle Tian raised this question, the little guy showed a disappointed expression, pouted and muttered: "The swimming pool is too small, there are too many people in it, and the water is very dirty, which is not comfortable at all." ”

The bathing city is a place for adults to have fun, and the beauty lies not in the bathing, but in the services outside of the bathing. There is no doubt that the old man will never take him to enjoy the kind of service that is inappropriate for children, Tian Wenjian reacted, and corrected with a smile: "The bath is not a swimming pool, and there is no comparison between the two. Besides, isn't there a shower besides the bath? ”

"I can wash the shower at home, why go to that kind of place? It's so unhygienic, it's easy to get infectious diseases, I really don't know what those people think. ”

Old Man Wu looked at the scenery outside the car window, nodded and said: "There are a lot of people, it's like sesame sauce boiling dumplings, can the water not be stolen?" ”

It's going to be the New Year, everyone wants to take a bath before the year, this is a custom and a habit, and it's strange that the bathing city is not overcrowded? The old man's metaphor is very chic and vivid, Tian Wenjian, who drove for the first time since returning to China, smiled, and Chen Jianian had neither eaten "sesame paste" nor seen "boiled dumplings", so he didn't feel that this metaphor was humorous, and showed a blank look.

The huge differences between Eastern and Western cultures cannot be understood by just speaking two languages. Let him describe it as crowded, overcrowded, and maybe say, 'stuffed like a can of sardines'. But this metaphor may not be understood by all Chinese, let alone appreciated its subtleties. Because there are so few people who have seen an open can of sardines, not many people have seen a small, flat canned box tightly stuffed with neat rows of sardines as long as fingers.

Just when Tian Wenjian was wondering whether to make up for him in Chinese, Xiao Jianian suddenly asked, "Uncle, I heard that you are not a professor." Is the new company good? Is it as big as my mommy's company? ”

The old man was happy, and immediately laughed and said: "Jianian, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is not a company, but an anti-corruption department of China's political axe. ”

What made Tian Wenjian laugh was that Xiao Jiannian actually shook his head and said with a serious face: "But he is a cadre, what Mommy said, I remember it very clearly." ”

The translation of cadres into English is cadre, and it is not a common word, which is easily reminiscent of the company's reserve cadres. Besides, foreign political parties only have political elites, and there are no party cadres in the strict sense of the word, let alone any power.

Officials, administrative personnel, and agency staff can be translated as official, functionary, or administrator, Tian Wenjian thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a word that was exactly the same as "cadre" in Chinese. What's more, he is still a party cadre, not a political axe official in the strict sense of the word.

"This question is a bit complicated, Uncle is going to drive now, and I'll explain it to you slowly when I get back."

Seeing that Tian Wenjian was haha, Wu Bolan, who had already been asked by his little grandson "100,000 whys", was speechless, sighed with emotion: "Alas, ......! With a Chinese face and fluent Chinese, he still knows nothing about China in the end. ”

"I'm not Chinese." The little guy was not happy anymore, and he had an indignant expression on his face.

The question had been debated countless times, and once again the grandfather and grandson raised the bar. Tian Wenjian didn't want to get involved, so he simply pretended not to hear anything and drove his car wholeheartedly. As he expected, all the way to the settlement of Xishan, the old and the young did not argue for a reason.

Xishan Villa, where the founding fathers of the Republic lived, enjoys the reputation of "Royal Plate". The scenery is beautiful, especially famous for ancient temples. "Three hundred temples in the West Mountain, ten are all over the scriptures" is the portrayal of the West Mountain. Reclining Buddha Temple, Biyun Temple, Ancient Xiuyun Temple and other places of interest are all over the mountainous area, but it is not at the right time, the red leaves all over the mountain have fallen, and it is not as beautiful as imagined.

An Xiaobin had already waited at the intersection, saw Tian Wenjian waving to him, and hurriedly ran to the side of the car to say hello to Old Man Wu, and then got into the co-pilot, pointed to a fork in the road marked with a military restricted area, and signaled Tian Wenjian to continue driving.

After three extremely serious security checks, the car slowly stopped in front of the small courtyard of Anjia. Two people in their sixties greeted him and greeted him enthusiastically to get out of the car. An Xiaobin's uncle, Zhao Zhengdong, former secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of J Province, and Tian Wenjian still know each other. The other should be An Xiaobin's father, An Ping, who has taken a back seat.

"Old Wu, knowing that you are back for the New Year, don't mention how happy the old man is. I have already set up the chessboard, saying that I want to compete with you. ”

"Playing chess? Does he still have the heart to play chess? ”

I didn't take Mr. An seriously more than ten years ago, and after staying in the United States for so many years, I won't take Mr. An seriously. Wu Bolan glared at the two of them as if he had changed people, and said angrily: "Old confused, old confused, the older you get, the more confused you are." He is confused, and you are also confused, and he can even do the thing of separating the mother and son! ”

The retired former official in front of him is not big, but his temper is not small at all.

An Ping didn't want to quarrel with him, not to mention that he was not wrong, so he hurriedly said with a wry smile: "Old Wu, you are right to criticize, we are not doing a good job in this matter, but this is also a helpless way." Think about it, this Chinese New Year, his old man's temper is so irritable, if something really happens, then we juniors ......"

"yes, yes, we have our problems." Zhao Zhengdong, who has also become an old man, nodded, with a deeply approving expression.

"Let's go, show me."

I couldn't tell them one, two, three, four, Wu Bolan walked towards the courtyard and instructed: "Xiao Jian, screw the box of things I brought him, so that he won't say that I am impersonal." ”

Before Tian Wenjian could react, an old man with white hair walked out with the help of a secretary-like person, pointed here and shouted, "What did you bring?" Take it and I'll take a look. surnamed Wu, I heard that your girl has a lot of money, don't fool me with two jujubes. ”

"It's love to give, if it's too much, I think you are getting more and more confused, and you don't accept the gift of your granddaughter-in-law, and you still want a gift."

The road is narrow, and the eyes are red. Wu Bolan was not so good at talking, so he immediately turned around, pointed at Tian Wenjian and said, "Put things away, for this kind of old fool, give it for nothing." ”

On the one hand, he regarded himself as his own master, and on the other hand, he was the famous founding father, although he knew that they were joking, he still put Tian Wenjian in a dilemma.

Looking at his hesitant look, Old Man An was happy, and suddenly laughed and said: "Old man Wu, in addition to your temper is more stinky, there is one more thing I have to be convinced, my daughter and apprentice are better than the other, and they are much stronger than my family's bunnies who are not angry." ”

"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, you are an old fool, what good juniors can you train?"

Wu Bolan glanced at An Ping and Zhao Zhengdong very facelessly, then turned around, pointed to Xiao Jiannian and introduced: "This is my grandson, alan, call Grandpa An." ”

"Hello Grandpa An." The little guy was still more sensible, and immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Okay, good, really sensible. Oops...... Grandpa really didn't know you were coming, and he didn't even prepare a red envelope. Anping, what are you doing in a daze? Don't welcome guests into the house yet? ”

The two old men who had reunited after a long absence, entered the study, Tian Wenjian breathed a sigh of relief, and after making a grimace at An Xiaobin, he hurriedly greeted Zhao Zhengdong, who was sitting on the side. And Anping ran into the courtyard and hugged his grandson Lele out to play with his American friend Xiao Jianian.

“…… The raw rice has already been cooked, so of course we don't have a problem with that. Besides, if a person is not a sage, who can do no wrong, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame the bad social atmosphere. ”

Zhao Zhengdong did not have the majesty of the feudal official four years ago, and he was no different from an ordinary old man, seeing that Tian Wenjian was a little embarrassed, he actually talked about housework in a soft voice.

Just because I didn't know it before doesn't mean I don't know it now. The reason why Xiao Ling became like that five years ago was because shortly after he reported to the provincial TV station, Director Wang, who was inferior to the beast, got drunk at a dinner party and lost his body. He is in a high position, and Xiao Ling, who has just walked through the school gate, has no way to ask for help. It's good that I met the villagers again, and they begged her for help with a handful of snot and tears...... With the first time, there is a second time, and in this way, I embarked on a road of no return for drunken fans.

The end of letting the An family take the green hat was tragic, and in the third month after Xiao Ling went abroad, Director Wang was sent to the class room for embezzlement. And Vice Governor Lin, who also had an unclean buttocks, was also investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection after being transferred to the vice chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference.

Time can dilute everything, An Xiaobin's hard work is obviously not in vain, at least the vast majority of the family has acquiesced to this fact. Thinking of this, Tian Wenjian sighed lightly and said with emotion: "Lele, this kid is very sensible, his father and his mother are busy with work, so he went to class with me, although he didn't understand what was said above, but he was very well-behaved and didn't make trouble at all." ”

"It's pitiful to think about."

Zhao Zhengdong nodded, looked at Lele, who was happily playing with his grandfather and Xiao Jiannian, and said lightly: "It is precisely considering that they are busy with work, we are going to leave him at home." Oda, what do you think? ”

Isn't this asking for Xiao Ling's life? Tian Wenjian's head is older, but this is a family affair, so it is not good to interfere too much, but he still said casually: "The child is still young, and it is the time when maternal love is needed." Secretary Zhao, are you doing Xiao Ling's work to see if she can stay? ”

Originally, I wanted you to do Xiao Ling's work, but in the end you played Tai Chi, Zhao Zhengdong secretly scolded the little fox, and then changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, the class in the party school is very good, it can be said to be thought-provoking." It can be seen that the decision to let you go abroad five years ago was right, otherwise how could you be at the height you have today? ”

A "public study abroad" with no money, is it embarrassing to say?

Professor Tian Da was made laughable, and couldn't help but say: "Don't forget to dig wells, to say something from the heart, without Secretary Zhao's cultivation, there would be no Wenjian today." ”

A leader is a leader, the city government is really not ordinarily deep, Zhao Zhengdong is like no one, he smiled and said: "The master brought it into the door, the cultivation depends on the individual, in the final analysis, it is your own efforts." After all, not everyone can get into Harvard University, and not all Harvard graduates can reach your current level. ”

What master brought in the door, isn't this putting gold on his face? Tian Wenjian was completely convinced, shook his head again and again, and said: "Working your own is one thing, but the main thing is your support." ”

Mature, no longer the stunned blue that he used to be, Zhao Zhengdong nodded slightly, and then his face straightened, and he reminded very seriously: "There is an essential difference between the rotation training of county-level cadres and the training courses for department-level and bureau-level cadres and provincial and ministerial-level cadres of the Central Party School. Not only the purpose of training is different, but also the height of the cadres is different. Oda, as the director of the Air Force Hospital, you should know what it means to prescribe the right medicine, so ...... In terms of the content and method of teaching, we must also know how to be flexible. ”

The speech at the Central Party School not only scolded people, but also violently attacked the stagnation of political structural reform. It is understandable to talk to leading cadres at the provincial, ministerial, departmental and bureau levels, but it is a bit out of place to talk to county-level cadres.

Tian Wenjian couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and quickly nodded: "Thank you, thank you Secretary Zhao for the reminder." In fact, the Theoretical Research Center also realized this, and even invited Vice President Hong of the National Supervision Academy to go out of the mountain and work with me to make this rotation training course on clean government. ”

"I'm relieved."

Zhao Zhengdong nodded with satisfaction, then took out a pen, left a phone number for Tian Wenjian, and said with a smile that although he took a back seat, he still had a few friends, and if he encountered any difficulties in the future, he would talk to him.

There is no doubt that his attitude is the attitude of An Jia, Tian Wenjian hurriedly put away the note and said sincerely: "Thank you, thank you Secretary Zhao for your concern." ”

The two old men played chess for more than an hour, and when they came out, Old Man An's face was blue, and he glared at An Xiaobin fiercely, then turned around and said angrily: "I'll go and pick up the child later, I don't want to be scolded by people for going back on my word." ”

Wu Bolan stretched his waist and laughed: "I am willing to lose the bet, that's right." ”

Lele is fine during the day, but he can't sleep at night, and he cries in the middle of the night. The old man listened to it in his ears and hurt in his heart, but the An family is not an ordinary family, and letting Xiao Ling enter the door like this will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of others. Wu Bolan sent up a step, can he not borrow a donkey from the slope?

The matter was settled, and everyone was happy. An Xiaobin ran out of the living room impatiently, ready to go to Professor Tianda's house to pick up his wife back. An Ping held the child and asked him to prepare dinner with his eyebrows fluttering.

To Tian Wenjian's surprise, Old Man An, who had never said a word to him, actually stared at his eyes and said meaningfully: "I am as close as a brother to An Zi, but in the end it is not as good as a word from others?" Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, so you can do it yourself. ”

No matter who mixes in the officialdom, they have to face a problem of taking sides. Tian Wenjian is Qiao Wei's person, there is no doubt about this. It is not completely unreasonable for Old Man An to say this. Tian Wenjian was very embarrassed, he really didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head heavily and stand beside his master without saying a word.
