This is a conversation that the Wang family is very familiar with but Lin Hai is very unfamiliar.

After listening to this conversation, Lin Hai couldn't help but respect Wang Yongde, a simple rural teacher. Regardless of whether the future father-in-law is justified or not, at least he can see the subtleties and put forward extremely long-term considerations for his son. At this time, he could understand why Wang Xiao, a woman who came out of the countryside, was so smart and kind.

Wang Yongde was not only reasonable, but also made an important decision, he said to Wang Qiao: "I, your mother, your sister and Lin Hai will fly to Guangnan the day after tomorrow, so you don't want to go, just let us represent." ”

Wang Qiao felt that his father's decision was too domineering, and said, "Why don't you let me go?" ”

Wang Yongde said: "Actually, if you want Guangnan to go over at any time, no one can restrict your actions, and neither can I as a father." However, this time I went to Quang Nam to go to relatives, and I am your father, so I have the final say. You are the mayor of a town, how can you go so far before going to work, and you have to guard in the town, otherwise what will Brother Guodong think of you? They will think that you are keen on running relationships rather than doing things down-to-earth. ”

Wang Qiao and Wang Guodong had a separate conversation, the content of which was confidential, and the two agreed not to talk to other members of the family. Wang Yongde has been paying attention to his son's actions and has not asked a word. He felt that his son had become anxious for quick success, which is why he had today's serious conversation.

"Then I will go back to Chengguan Town tomorrow, after the beginning of the year, all the work will be pressed up, and it will be very busy." His father's last words reminded Wang Qiao that he no longer insisted on going to Quang Nam. He remembered something and asked, "Didn't you agree to leave tomorrow, how did it become the day after tomorrow?" ”

Du Zongfen said: "We are going to An Jian's grandparents' house. See your grandson and meet your in-laws. ”

Wang Qiao sighed. Draw your eyes to see my sister. Wang Xiao had a lot of helplessness in his expression, and he lowered his head and played with the keychain.

Finished talking about my son. Wang Yongde said to his daughter again: "Tomorrow we will go to meet our in-laws together, this matter can't be avoided, don't open your mouth tomorrow, I will talk about you and Lin Hai." ”

"If you really want to talk about it, let's talk about it after the Spring Festival." Wang Xiao has always been afraid that his relationship with Lin Hai will hurt the Li family, and he can't make up his mind.

Wang Yongde said: "This is a major matter for the two families, and it is not a way to hide it." After talking about it today, no matter what the attitude of your in-laws is, you will get along with Lin Hai generously. Get married when the time is right. ”

Wang Xiaodao: "I'm worried that if the relationship is stiff, it will be inconvenient for me to see An Jian in the future." ”

Wang Qiao interjected: "From a legal point of view, if you really want to get stiff, you should be the one to raise An Jian." Uncle Li is a wise person, and he is also reasonable, so he will not stop here. ”

Wang Yongde nodded and said: "I agree with Erwa's opinion, the Li family is a good person, tomorrow we will put things on the table together to discuss, what era is it now." The eldest sister can't keep her father for a lifetime. ”

Wang Xiaodao: "Grandma Anjian is a bit temperamental, I'm afraid she will put her unhappiness on her face and embarrass everyone." ”

For the happiness of his daughter, Wang Yongde, a teacher from the countryside, wants to have a showdown with his in-laws in the provincial capital. said: "If you are embarrassed, you are embarrassed, you have to make your words clear, I have been thinking about this for more than a day." Your mom lost a lot of hair for this. ”

Wang Xiao's heart is complicated at this time, on the one hand, she still has a deep relationship with her ex-husband. Every year during Qingming, Spring Festival and wedding day, she must take her son to sweep the grave; On the other hand, she does need to start a new life.

The more supportive your family is. The firmer her attitude, the more Wang Xiao remembered her deceased ex-husband for no reason. Meeting at Li's house tomorrow means the beginning of a new era, and she will have to say goodbye to the previous one for the time being, which makes her sad.

After everyone reached a unified opinion, the conversation in the provincial capital came to an end. Wang Xiao and Lin Hai left the Huarong community and went to live at Lin Hai's house. Wang Qiao went to bed early, and tomorrow he will finish the Spring Festival rafting mode and return to work.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Wang Xiao drove to Huarong Community, picked up Wang Yongde and Du Zongfen, and the three of them went to Li's house together.

Since the direction was opposite, Wang Qiao did not take his sister's car, but took a taxi to the long-distance bus station. When he got up in the morning, Wang Qiao initially wanted to call the driver, Lao Zhao, and ask Lao Zhao to drive to the provincial capital to pick him up. Picking up the phone, he remembered what his father said about his original intention, so he didn't call Lao Zhao, but went to take a long-distance bus.

Wang Qiao sat with ordinary citizens on the long-distance bus, and always felt a little uncomfortable. He reflected: "Before I didn't have a job, it was natural to take a long-distance bus, why did I feel very uncomfortable taking a long-distance bus when I became a small leader. It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity, this old saying is too true. ”

After the long-distance bus started, because the people were not loaded, the bus turned out again at the highway intersection and loaded passengers everywhere. After tossing for more than an hour, the guests were finally loaded in a complaint, and then they officially entered the highway, and it was already half past ten at this time.

The car drove to the outskirts of Jingzhou, and the driver got off the car and went to the service area for lunch.

Tossing until three o'clock in the afternoon, the long-distance bus came to Changdong. In order to keep his heart, Wang Qiao ended up spending more than five uncomfortable hours on the bus, making him discouraged and embarrassed.

Walking on the familiar road in Chengguan Town, Wang Qiao walked unhurriedly, digesting the impetuousness brought by the busy Spring Festival and making himself calm. During the walk, he made a decision to go to Song Hongli's house on the last day of the Spring Festival. In terms of seniority, age, prestige and other aspects, he and Song Hongli are too far apart, and they must take the initiative. He brought a cigarette that Lin Hai stuffed into his hand, which was just right as a guest gift.

"Secretary Song, are you at home, I'll come over and take a walk and look for the door." When Wang Qiao was on the phone, he heard a noise in the house.

Song Hongli did not refuse, and said: "Wang Zhen is back, can you find my home, I will ask Guo Da to come downstairs to pick you up." ”

Song Hongli's family lives in the family home of Changdong Middle School. Changdong Middle School is an old middle school, which has been built for a long time, with green trees and a beautiful environment. Wang Qiao used to play basketball in Changdong Middle School a lot, and he was quite familiar with the campus environment, so he came to the family home with ease.

Guo Da, the director of the office, saw Wang Qiao from a distance and hurriedly greeted him, and the first thing he did when he met was to stuff a red envelope in Wang Qiao's hand. said: "Wang Zhen has not been at home, and I have no chance to come to pay New Year's greetings." ”

Wang Qiao did not want to receive these red envelopes. The Changdong red envelope is only two or three hundred yuan. After accepting, it is inevitable that you will be affected by red envelopes at work in the future. This is using red envelopes to kidnap yourself. But there were several teachers at the door, and it was indecent to push them around at the door, so they temporarily put the red envelopes in their pockets.

Guo Da has been looking for an opportunity to give Wang Qiao a red envelope, and he did not give out the red envelope to the mayor during the Spring Festival, which made him feel very uneasy. Today, Wang Qiao received the red envelope, and his hanging heart finally fell.

The Song family was very lively, and almost all the people present were cadres of the town government organs, some played poker and some played mahjong. There are also those who sit in front of the sofa and chat, except for a few ordinary cadres, most of them are second-level teams and team members, which is somewhat similar to Qiu Dahai eating in the villa back then, except that the Qiu family is large and the Song family is small.

Li Lingqiu sat opposite Song Hongli, played double buckles with him, and when he saw Wang Qiao coming, he put down the poker. said: "Wang Zhen came over to play double buckles, Secretary Song was too good at counting cards, and I couldn't keep up with the rhythm." ”

At this time, playing cards was a good time, and Wang Qiao stood beside Li Lingqiu and said, "You finish this game." I'll pick it up again. ”

Song Hongli raised his head and smiled: "Wang Zhen, when did you come back?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "I just got out of the car, and I thought that there was no place to eat at night. went to Secretary Song's house to have dinner. He handed the cigarette to Song Hongli and said, "My brother-in-law just came back from abroad." brought an authentic cigarette, and Secretary Song changed his taste. ”

Song Hongli put the poker down. opened the outer packaging of the cigarettes, took out a box of cigarettes, and said: "This is Wang Zhen's cigarette, it's rare to smoke, come, everyone comes to smoke one." ”

The smokers came to pick up the cigarettes. If there are seven or eight small chimneys in the house that smoke at the same time, there will be a miasma of smoke. Li Lingqiu hurriedly opened the balcony door to let fresh air clear the room, which led the smoke away.

Then it was a game of cards and a drink, and after nine o'clock, the people gradually dispersed.

Wang Qiao was the last to leave. Song Hongli put on a military coat and personally sent him outside the house, and the two walked and chatted on campus. Song Hongli sighed and said: "If I were a bachelor, I would have walked away and ended up quiet." I have a family and a business, and I can't get out, so I have to drink a few more times a year at home. ”

Wang Qiao said with a smile: "According to the tradition of Changdong, if there are no guests at home during the Spring Festival, the family is not prosperous. I don't have a home, so I have to run around, otherwise there is no place to eat. ”

Song Hongli said heartily: "Someone will definitely come to greet you after work, and you must not be quiet before the Lantern Festival." In fact, you can't completely eliminate guests, otherwise it will be called impersonal, and it will be detrimental to future work. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I understand, thank you Secretary Song." ”

After chatting a few words, Song Hongli said again: "We have an important thing to do after work, this is the practice of Chengguan Town, I guess you may not be clear, so let's get a wind first." ”

Wang Qiao saw that Song Hongli was speaking solemnly, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Song Hongli said: "Chengguan Town has to readjust its personnel according to the work situation of the past year after going to work during the Spring Festival every year. Some comrades also want to change posts, some comrades really need to be transferred to posts, and some vacant positions need to be filled. Every year, there will be a few unemployed people, and some punitive measures should be taken against the unemployed personnel, and basic living allowances will be paid to those who are waiting for their posts, or temporary jobs will be arranged by the party committee and government. Using this method is also a kind of mobilization of everyone's enthusiasm for work, and if you do a good job, you will have a position, and if you don't do a good job, you will be cut off face and suffer economic losses. ”

Wang Qiao had been the deputy secretary of the party committee and had heard about this matter, but because he had been the deputy secretary of the party and the masses for too short a time, he had not gone through the whole process, and asked: "Do it every year?" ”

Song Hongli said: "This work has become a routine, and everyone is waiting for it." After this is done, I will get rid of the list and do this year's work. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Which people are hired, and whether the party committee and government have any reservations." ”

Song Hongli said: "We are engaged in great democracy, there is no preset candidate, purely by voting, the leader is a vote, other comrades are B votes, A votes are more important than B votes, this is actually for the leaders to grasp, our team is ventilated, give a low score to a certain person, he will inevitably be hired." ”
