Li Ningyong grew up being held by others since he was a child, and he has never experienced the situation of surviving in a difficult situation, and said: "Don't be too honest, the team members should take turns on duty during the Spring Festival, why should you be on duty more." The more the administration does, the more mistakes are made, and if something happens while on duty, whoever is on duty will be punished. ”

Wang Qiao said: "On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the county magistrate of Gong will lead a team to inspect the safety of the whole city, and I am a member of the inspection team. I was on duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the second was Director Le, and the third was Wang Zhenghu, and then I took turns on duty. But in the class of the director of the second junior high school, he has to go back to his hometown, so I help him with his duty. ”

Li Ningyong said angrily: "You are actually on duty in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the first and second years of junior high school, and Lebin bullies people. ”

Wang Qiao persuaded: "I'm a newcomer, what's the big deal if you suffer a loss, the old saying in Changdong is called to fight a lot when you suffer a loss." ”

Li Ningyong advised: "You can't be on duty anymore on the third day of junior high school, our whole family has to eat together, and you, the hairy son-in-law, have to participate." ”

On the twenty-fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Qiao took Li Ningyong back to his hometown and walked into 414 at the foot of the mountain.

The car stopped on the road not far in front of the old township, Wang Qiao pointed to the small hillside with the red flag fluttering, and said: "That is the children's school before 414, where I grew up." All the plum trees planted in the middle of the hillside are plum trees, and most of them are famous Jiangan plums, and they taste very good. He pointed to the small river that loomed in the distance and said, "The water of that river is very cool, and in the summer I spend my days fishing, catching crabs, and swimming." ”

Li Ningyong excitedly pointed to the green mountains and green waters: "This year, we will take public holidays together, and if we don't go out to travel, we will come to our hometown." There is the artistic conception of picking chrysanthemums in the east and seeing Nanshan leisurely. ”

Wang Yongde and Du Zongfen stood at the door, watching their son and girlfriend walk up the bluestone ladder together. Li Ningyong took the initiative to carry two large bags of gifts. Among the gifts are imported milk powder, candy, and two down jackets. Although it looks like a large two packs. It's not actually too heavy.

"This is my father, my mother, this is Li Ningyong."

Li Ningyong saw her in-laws for the first time, and said shyly: "Uncle Wang is good, Aunt Du is good." ”

Du Zongfen was really happy when he saw his son coming home with his girlfriend, and complained: "Erwa, why do you let Xiao Li carry so many things, you carry a small bag yourself." ”

Wang Qiao said: "This is Xiao Li's intention. The first time I saw you, I bought two down jackets. ”

Du Zongfen took the two big bags and took Li Ningyong into the small courtyard where he lived.

The family members of the 414 factory are divided into different areas, in fact, different compounds. The compound was cleaned and cleaned up. The diligent family members also planted kraft cabbage, pea tips, scoop white and bamboo shoots in the corner, which was full of green and vibrant. There are also four yellow-haired chickens encircled by bamboo fences, and they are happy to look for insects in the grass.

Li Ningyong was full of curiosity about the place where Wang Qiao lived, walked around the compound, and returned home to chat with Wang Yongde and Du Zongfen.

Li Ningyong grew up in Jingzhou City. The family conditions are superior, and there is no experience in living in the factory and the countryside. Wang Yongde and Du Zongfen have lived in the factory all their lives, and the spiritual world is mainly concentrated in the factory, and the three have no common topic at all. But sitting together must chat, chatting makes Wang Qiao feel extremely boring.

"Dad, Mom. I took Xiao Li to the new house to have a look. Wang Qiao really couldn't bear to torture his ears, so he took Li Ningyong to see his sister's house.

"Wang Qiao. I don't know what to talk to your parents. ”

"There's really no topic to talk about, just talk about my childhood and youth."

Li Ningyong slapped his forehead. said: "I'm a little nervous, I didn't think of this trick, the biggest thing that I, Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu have in common is you." ”

At the window, Wang Yongde looked at the two distant backs, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression was heavy. Du Zongfen said: "Old man, what do you think of this girl? Wang Yongde said: "I think Xiao Li is a little pampered, I'm afraid I can't endure hardship." ”

"You often say that a man cannot be seen, and the sea cannot be measured."

"Xiao Li's father used to be the secretary of the county party committee, and now he is the director of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Congress, and I am worried that the second child is interested in this. Over the years, the second baby has been alone outside, and I am not sure what has changed. Wang Yongde's hair was mostly white, and there were a few more wrinkles on his black and thin face.

Although 414 is an independent system, you can also see the programs and newspapers of Changdong TV, and you still know about the secretary of the county party committee in previous years.

Du Zongfen said confidently: "When I see my old age at the age of three, my second baby will not become a bad person." ”

Wang Yongde said worriedly: "Their family is a county leader, our family is an ordinary worker, the door is not right, and the life of the second child may not be easy in the future." ”

Du Zongfen's hair was blown up by the wind and became a mess. She looked at her son's small figure and said proudly: "The second baby became the deputy director of the urban management committee at a young age, and I don't know what kind of official she will be in the future, the Qiu family must have taken a fancy to this." I know the temper of the second baby, and he must not suffer. ”

Wang Yongde said: "I want to take time to talk to the second baby, otherwise I will not be sure." ”

After dinner, Du Zongfen accompanied Li Ningyong to look at Wang Qiao's not too many children's photos, each photo can arouse Li Ningyong's great interest and look at it with great interest.

Wang Yongde and Wang Qiao found a quiet corner to talk.

Wang Yongde said in a soothing tone as much as possible: "Erwa, are you trying to take a shortcut and see that Xiao Li's father is a city leader?" Although the Wang family is poor, they still have backbone. ”

Wang Qiao knew that his father was going to start ideological and moral work again, and explained: "Xiao Li followed his mother's surname, grew up in Jingzhou since he was a child, and worked in the county TV station after graduating from university. ”

Wang Yongde put his hands behind his back, looked at the distant peaks, and said: "I have spent most of my life working and living in the factory, and I don't have much knowledge. But after reading some books, I understand some truths. The ancients said that once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, and the eunuchs are different from us. They talk about interests, and we talk about friendship. ”

Wang Qiao said with a smile: "What era is it now, where is there any official house, I am in free love, and it happens that my girlfriend's father is an official." Dad, don't worry, I'm not a person who tends to be inflammatory, and I won't rely on the Qiu family relationship to climb up, and if I want to go up, I will rely on my own efforts. ”

Wang Yongde said with satisfaction: "If you can clearly realize this, I have nothing to worry about, the road of life is very long, and every step must be steady." ”

The north wind crossed the Bayue Mountain and swept across the vast land, and the Wang father and son stood in the leeward corner, still shivering by the north wind. Wang Qiao said: "It's going to freeze, let's go back." Wang Yongde said: "Now that you are a cadre, read more history books, and reading history makes people wise." From childhood to adulthood, Wang Qiao's ears sounded calloused by his father's moral education, and he ended the conversation with his father disapprovingly and returned to the warm home with the lights on.

This time, Li Ningyong came to the door, adding a trace of anxiety to Wang Yongde's heart. He always felt that the delicate Xiao Li was not a good match for his son, but there were not enough facts to support this view.

Du Zongfen persuaded: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, this is an old saying that everyone says, let's not care too much." Now it's just a relationship, and it's hard to say whether it can succeed. ”

Wang Yongde said: "If it is the daughter of an ordinary family, it will be forgotten if you can't fall in love." Now I am the daughter of a leader, and if I can't fall in love, it will affect my future, which is what I'm most worried about. ”

Du Zongfen gave his wife a roll of his eyes and said, "You worry too much and have a pessimistic attitude. Let's think differently, if the talks are successful, the daughter of the leader will be better able to help his son. ”

Wang Yongde said: "It's better not to let this person help." ”

For Wang Qiao, he knew exactly what his father would think. These thoughts are also hidden in my heart, but they are not exposed at all. He occasionally sighed in his heart: "It would be nice if Li Ningyong was the daughter of an ordinary family." ”

He reflected: "In fact, it is my taste for mate selection that guides my choice, and I like girls with similar temperaments very much. ”

Lu Qi's father is a public security leader, Yan Lin's father is a factory leader, and Li Ningyong's father is a local leader. These three people really have some similarities in temperament, type and figure.

As he drove back to the city, Wang Qiao pondered these questions.

Li Ningyong kept asking: "What is the attitude of your parents, I always feel that they are a little too polite to me, and politeness is rustiness." ”

Wang Qiao said: "The first time we met, it must be unfamiliar, and it will be good after getting acquainted." ”
