"Who lied to you, my mother is a sanitation worker." Zhao Mengqi took off her coat, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen to help.

"I'll go, won't I? The mayor's wife works as a sanitation worker? This is too..."Huo Xiaotian just thought of this, and his eyes suddenly saw a photo on a wall in the living room, one of the photos was a photo of a middle-aged woman wearing a sanitation worker's costume, despite her age, she was also a beautiful woman with charm, but it was too incomprehensible to be a sanitation worker with such a temperament.

"Hey, Xiao Huo is here!" Zhao Xingguo walked out of the kitchen and greeted with a smile.

"Yes, uncle, hello." Huo Xiaotian retracted his chaotic thoughts, and hurriedly bowed respectfully to Zhao Xingguo and replied.

"Come, sit, how about trying my uncle's handiwork?" Zhao Xingguo beckoned Huo Xiaotian to the restaurant, and specially took a bottle of wine to entertain Huo Xiaotian.

Seeing this, Huo Xiaotian hurriedly stopped, "Uncle, don't, don't be so polite, just eat casually, don't drink." ”

Zhao Xingguo smiled and shook his head: "What kind of good wine do you think this is?" This is not '82 Lafite, it's just a regular red wine, twenty dollars a bottle. ”

Hearing this, Huo Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, it was indeed the kind of popular goods in the supermarket, so he smiled and did not refuse again.

"Don't be afraid of my uncle picking the door, in my house, you can't find it even if you want to drink good wine, and you are reluctant to buy it." Zhao Xingguo said with a smile.

Huo Xiaotian smiled and nodded, looking at the simple decorations around him, he was almost no different from ordinary families, and he didn't look like he was very rich, and the meals on the table, although delicious, were just commonplace, and then thought of Zhao Xingguo's usual behavior, he didn't seem to be lying, a well-behaved mayor actually didn't make much money in a month.

After being full of wine and food, Zhao Xingguo asked Zhao Mengqi to pack up the dishes and chopsticks and took Huo Xiaotian to his study.

"Uncle, are you looking for me alone, what's the matter?" Huo Xiaotian asked a little strangely.

"Xiao Huo, my observations of you these days, combined with your appearance in school, you are a very promising teenager, with brains, responsibility, and courage, if you are a good person, you will definitely get ahead one day in the future." Zhao Xingguo looked at Huo Xiaotian and said confidently.

Huo Xiaotian was a little embarrassed, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Uncle, actually, I'm not that good." ”

"I'm not putting a high hat on you, and you don't have to be modest, it's just that I want to sue you, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the better you are, the more people will envy you, the more jealous you will be, the greater your resistance, no matter at all times, be vigilant, don't get carried away by victory.

This is a world that is attracted by temptation all the time, and only people with a firm mind can not be disoriented by temptation and be a man worthy of his heart! Zhao Xingguo looked at Huo Xiaotian sternly and said, as if a stern father was teaching his son.

"Yes, I made a note of it!" Huo Xiaotian nodded and said.

"Xiao Huo, Qiqi is my only daughter, she has always been very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she has never disappointed me, I hope you will take good care of her for me in the future, I believe you have this ability and this responsibility!" Zhao Xingguo patted Huo Xiaotian on the shoulder and said.

"Uncle, why do you say that?" Huo Xiaotian felt that something was not quite right in Zhao Xingguo's words, and looked at Zhao Xingguo in amazement and asked.

"Xiao Huo, let me tell you a story, there is a person who has cancer, and now the cancer cells are spreading, if the surgery is done in time, it can be stopped, but this is to remove the good tissues that may spread in addition to the cancer tumor, at this time, what do you say the doctor should do? What would you do if you were a doctor? Zhao Xingguo looked at Huo Xiaotian and asked.

Huo Xiaotian looked at Zhao Xingguo strangely, and replied without thinking about it: "Of course, the good tissue that may be spread is removed together with the tumor, and only in this way can the recurrence of the disease be prevented." ”

"Yes, in this kind of thing that is related to the overall situation, there is no innocent and non-innocent, only the need and the need, although good organization has not deteriorated, but it has been cut out because of need, and this is the best choice." Zhao Xingguo said with a smile.

"Uncle, why did you suddenly tell me this story?" Huo Xiaotian asked strangely, faintly aware that something was not quite right.

"If Taishan City is compared to a person, then, it also has cancer in its body, and now it needs to remove the cancer in its body, and I am the tissue that has not deteriorated, but has to be removed together, so in order for Taishan City to continue to maintain the current pace, it has come time for me to make sacrifices." Zhao Xingguo said with a free smile.

"Mayor Zhao, you..." Huo Xiaotian was speechless in surprise when he heard this, and at this time, Zhao Xingguo took out a copy of the text from the bookcase and handed it to Huo Xiaotian.

"I think you have learned a little about Wang Changguo's investigation some time ago, but you don't know enough, these are the first-hand information I have mastered over the years, as well as the case records of other people involved in the case, as a sinner, I have no right to accuse others, this task will be handed over to you, and it will be handed over to the people of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and they will return Taishan City to a clean and peaceful side." Zhao Xingguo patted Huo Xiaotian on the shoulder and said.

"Mayor Zhao, no, I can't do this, in this case, won't you also be implicated?" Huo Xiaotian shook his head and said, "You ask for your life for the people of Taishan City, in order to let the people get benefits, you don't hesitate to carry the black pot for everyone, if you report it like this, won't you be ruined?" Let a good official who is really good to the people have his reputation damaged, I can't do this kind of thing! ”

"Hehe, Xiao Huo, I'll tell you one more thing, being a man is based on your conscience, as long as you are worthy of your conscience, the descendants of future generations will correct your name, which one of the Yue Fei Temple and Yu Qian Temple by the West Lake was not slandered and treasonous during his lifetime? But to this day, what descendant does not look upon them?

I asked myself, in Taishan City for so many years, I have never taken a dime from the people, I have not been greedy for a thread from the people, I have a clear conscience, this is enough. Zhao Xingguo said with a smile.

"Mayor Zhao..."Huo Xiaotian choked up, looking at the tall and majestic man in front of him, it was like a mountain, standing in front of him.

"Xiao Huo, take good care of Qiqi for me, in my lifetime, if I can watch you get married and have children, I will be satisfied." Zhao Xingguo said wistfully.

"Uncle, it will, it will, I promise you!" Huo Xiaotian said with an oath.

"Okay, let's go out, if we stay for a long time, Kiki will be suspicious, promise me, don't tell Kiki about this at any time, you know?" Zhao Xingguo's expression was solemn, and he said seriously.

"Yes, got it." Huo Xiaotian nodded, and hid the Wen Jiàn clip given to him by Zhao Xingguo into his arms. (To be continued.) )
