Aunt smiled: "Xiaoya has been married to you for so many years, can I not understand you?" The house here is like a birdcage, how long can it keep you? It was already set up last fall, and when you went out at 10?1, your uncle and I got the kitchen in order, and we have brought some of the wine that we have sent over these days, and when it will pass, we will wait for you to speak. ”

Wuyang smiled and hugged Jingjing and said, "Auntie, don't you say it earlier, otherwise this beauty will stay in the new house." ”

Chang Jingjing scolded with a smile: "Stinky Wuyang, this kind of thing is also shouted everywhere." ”

"There are no outsiders here, this is my own uncle and aunt."

My aunt said: "What kind of atmosphere is it now, it is a rare thing that Miss Chang can leave to you." Wuyang, Xiaoya and they will come over after the Lantern Festival, isn't there a Xiaoyan girl at that time? ”

Wuyang knew that his uncle and aunt didn't know English, so he couldn't communicate with Aiping and them, and he didn't know about them, otherwise he would have pushed them out.

"After the Lantern Festival, I went to the capital for a meeting, I don't know if I can meet it. Xiaoyan still has to keep it and wait until her martial arts are practiced. When the time comes, you go first, the Tibetan mastiffs are going to give birth, and it's time to let them roam freely outdoors for a while. ”

My aunt said, "You just need to take care of your own work, and don't worry about things at home." Wuyang, where do these girls live? ”

Wuyang pointed to Aiping, Aihe, and Aitang, "The three of them go upstairs, and you take the rest downstairs and live in the one below you." I'm going to work tomorrow, so I'm going up and resting. ”

Back in the room, Chang Jingjing said, "Wuyang." Is there any new bed linen at home. Gotta change. ”

"Which cabinet should be in. Let's find out. ”

"I'll look for you, you go to sleep with a few black girls."

"What, scared?"

"Who is afraid of whom, you are not afraid of snubbing the black girl, let's just come."

"They've been going on for a few nights, and I asked them if they were motivated." Turning around, he asked in English, "Aiping, are you going to have fun or sleep first?" ”

Aiping said: "I drank wine just now and wanted to sleep." ”

"Good. Go to sleep and have a good dream. ”

"Where to dream, you're not coming soon. Today is at home, I discussed with Aitang and them, and I don't wear clothes when I sleep. ”

Wuyang smiled: "You still know the rules of the family, not bad." ”

Turning around and stepping into the room, he saw Jingjing lying on her back at one end of the bed, her legs resting on the floor. Wuyang said, "Jingjing, where did you learn this?" ”

"I'm flying internationally, and there are pay channels in many places. I haven't seen anything. Now that I have the opportunity to practice, it's natural to give it a try. ”

"Okay. Anyway, I'll just cooperate. ”

On the morning of the seventh day of the first month, I was supposed to be notified to go to work at 9 o'clock, but I arrived at the office at 8:30 in the afternoon and saw Cui Deping filling the red envelope with money.

"Secretary, New Year's greetings to you." Cui Deping said that he had changed his mind.

Wuyang also hurriedly said, "I wish you a better business and work in the New Year." Isn't this opening red envelope issued by the Finance Department, why did you pretend to be money? ”

"Secretary, this is not a red envelope, this is for New Year's visitors. After the economic situation in our city improved, red envelopes were issued, and last year, our municipal party committee and municipal government did not issue them, and everyone still had opinions, so Mayor Liu and Secretary Chai decided to send them too. ”

"Who are you giving so many red envelopes to?"

"It may not be enough. Our plan is to assign to the principal posts below the secretary general of the municipal party committee, to the leaders of the government, the people's congress, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the military sub-districts at or above the deputy level, and to the top party and government leaders in all districts and counties. I prepared 70 red envelopes, which is just enough to count, and if some extra people reach out, they will have to be increased. ”

Wuyang smiled: "How can there be an extra person reaching out?" ”

"Our custom here, adults give candy to children during the New Year, children have no scruples, the more they want, the happier everyone is."

"Then you will close it and send it according to the regulations."

"Secretary, I can't do it. For example, if 3 people enter the door, I can't just send it to 2 people. The most I can do is register the names of the additional people, and I'm not greedy for a small amount of money. ”

"It's going to be a big party soon, and of course you can't take advantage of this little profit. If it's not enough, then go to the finance office, don't embarrass you. How is the work arranged? ”

"In the morning, I went to various departments of the municipal party committee, in the afternoon I went to the government, the people's congress, the CPPCC, then the armed police internal security detachment, the border defense detachment, the fire brigade, the public security bureau, and finally the military sub-district. Dinner in the military sub-district. The government has prepared condolences and condolences money. ”

"How much is the government's condolence payment?"

"The military subdivision is two million, because we don't go to the border regiment, but the condolences and condolences cannot be less, and the others are all 1 million. So many years ago. ”

"Has the problem of the fire brigade been solved?"

"I heard that a unit chief and the captain of the Southern District Fire Brigade were arrested, and we didn't receive any documents or letters, so the specific situation is not clear."

Wuyang said: "Forget it, it's also me who is too talkative, mainly because they are too carried away." I guess the root is still on top, as long as it's safe. ”

"That's what the secretary said. Who doesn't want to make money these days, like so many bosses in the Southern District, they are all fat, and when they get rich, they desperately want to make a reputation and status, and they are willing to spend as much as they want. When you become a representative or a committee member, you will be the one who is cheap and win over this one. Secretary, do you know what the common people say about deputies and committee members now? ”

"I don't know, let's hear it."

"One is to be an official, the secretary, you are a representative of the National People's Congress, and you must represent the will of the official; the other is rich, which represents the interests of the rich; There is also a kind of stupid Laba, who only knows how to applaud and raise his hands, just like the 'smiling brother' in the Spring Festival Gala. ”

"That's exactly what happened, Deping, what if you don't? The United States advertises itself as a democracy, and which of those senators and representatives is not rich? Which one does not represent the interests of their respective groups? Our committee members and deputies should choose a person with good character at the grassroots level. People called him stupid. Bad character, right? soon became a village bully and a street tyrant, and he was the one who caused the disaster. Forget it, I can't tell. Happy New Year, Maoyou, come and put a ticket for De Flat. ”

He Maoyou said: "Secretary, I wish you every step of the way and the happiness of the whole family." Why didn't you get a tan this time when you went to Africa? ”

"How dark can I be. You think I'm really African. The climate in Ethiopia is actually similar to ours, and it is not particularly hot. This bag contains coffee, and the teeth of a lion, and you can take it back and find someone to carve it and put it on the child, which is said to ward off evil spirits. ”

"Thank you, boss." He Maoyou said.

Cui Deping said: "The secretary brought us things from so far away, thank you so much." Secretary, I've been following you for more than two years, and I'm suddenly leaving. I'm really reluctant, I don't know who will pick me up. Can you let me go with confidence? ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "Deping, you can't just leave, you have to come back often to chat, and when you drink a lot in the future, drink with me." The candidate for the new secretary has not yet been decided, and I think it will be up to Tian Zhihe for the time being, and then decide if there is a suitable candidate. Tian Zhihe is older than you, he has not worked in the municipal party committee for a long time, and he has not worked as a secretary, and his writing is very good. If there's something unfamiliar, you're still going to help. ”

Cui Deping said: "Secretary, what you didn't say, as long as you can use me, let him speak up." ”

He Maoyou smiled: "Boss, I can't take care of anything, otherwise I'll give him a little money." ”

"Don't give anything at first, let's talk about it later. Maoyou, you can't drive me for the rest of your life, I was transferred to a civil servant last year and set a deputy section level, are you considering taking up a position this year? ”

"Boss, what level do I have to be a leader, you just let me drive safely."

"To be a leader, you have to be level, right? If you don't embezzle, don't take bribes, just care more about the masses, and if others don't bully you, you don't bully others, and I promise that it will be well received. ”

Cui Deping said: "Secretary, what unit are you going to arrange for Maoyou to go to?" With his current deputy section level, what position can he arrange? ”

"The deputy section level can also be arranged, Maoyou, how about you look at the traffic police detachment vehicle management office? This is your old business, and now there are a lot of driver's license testers every month, reflecting that they also receive a lot of gifts. During the exam, I gave two packs of high-quality cloud cigarettes, which were sold to the commissary immediately after that, and then asked the students to buy them, and they all became props. Recently, the Provincial Traffic Police Corps is preparing to rectify in the province, and then you can go over and help me find a successor before that. ”

"Boss, I'm really not going. If you dislike me, I'll quit, and if it's about my future, I'll thank my boss. ”

"Okay, if you don't want to go, just keep driving, and when you figure it out later, you can leave at any time, but when you get old, if you complain about me again, I won't listen."

"No complaints. In the future, if you are promoted and transferred, I am willing to go with you. ”

"Secretary, Happy New Year." Chai Rong walked in.

Wuyang also hurriedly said, "Secretary Chai has a good New Year." I wish you a happy family and all the best. Have a seat. ”

Chai Rong said: "Secretary, Chai Wei got married in the third year of junior high school, and the red envelope you asked Director Cui to send was not received, not for any person, not a single one, sorry." ”

Wuyang smiled: "It's just a little meaning, why should Secretary Chai be so serious." Over the years, you have sent out a lot, and everyone should return the favor with peach. But when you do this, everyone is unanimously praised. ”

"Secretary, it doesn't matter to me whether it is good or not, I am afraid that it will affect Chai Wei. In the past two years, the secretary has promoted him from the deputy section level to the deputy department level, and people have already discussed it, and if he is not careful, if he posts on the Internet, he will be full of mouths and can't say clearly. Secretary, my in-laws are a middle school teacher, I want to invite you to dinner, can you enjoy it? ”

"Okay, you can set a time."

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about noon today? In the afternoon, when the work schedule is full, I don't drink at noon. ”

"That's not good, you have to let the bride and groom toast each other. It is better to call Comrade Shang Canhui, and after dinner, we will study the work. The arrangements made by the provincial party committee and the provincial government should be finalized before I go to the meeting. ”

"Secretary, Mayor Liu should come to the municipal party committee, can you please talk about it?"

"Okay." As soon as Wuyang's voice fell, Liu Canhui had already come in.

"Secretary, Happy New Year, I haven't received the message for Chinese New Year's Eve, have you?"

"Happy New Year, Mayor. Yesterday after getting off the plane, I turned on my phone. The message rang for an hour. People are sleepy. I didn't look at it. You may be seated. ”

"Don't sit down, you have to receive New Year's greetings over there, let's go."

"Secretary Chai's son is married, isn't there no wine, I'm going to take you to bother at noon, and there is another thing to discuss. It is necessary to solve the problem of urban transportation, and you can discuss it with the comrades of the relevant departments later. ”

"Okay, it's time to fix this." Liu Canhui said and walked out.

"Director Cui. Give the mayor a red envelope. Wuyang said with a smile.

"Secretary, this matter is decided between me and Secretary Chai, you give me a red envelope, didn't I set it for myself? Don't, I got it. ”

Liu Canhui left, followed one after another, Guo Wenjie, Li Guihe, Wang Jianmin, Dai Guohua, He Jinbo, Wang Yinqing, and their deputies all came, chatted a few words, and left.

It's past 12 o'clock. Chai Rong and Wuyang went downstairs, and He Maoyou said, "Boss." I have a party at noon, I'll send you over, when will I pick you up? ”

Wuyang knew that He Maoyou didn't want Chai Rong to be embarrassed, and he had a private treat, and it was not good for the driver to serve the table, and it was not good to not serve it. "You have to control the time, anyway, you have to rush to the city hall at half past two, you can't delay the time, otherwise the work in the afternoon will not be completed."

"Secretary, since Master He has something, you can deign to take my car and let him go to the entertainment with peace of mind." Chai Rong said.

The location of the treat was chosen in the Education Hotel, which is a small hotel that has not participated in the rating, and the food and beverage department is located on the lower 3 floors of the front building. Looking at the exterior decoration and the styleless and chaotic appearance of the first floor, I really suspect that it is Chai Rong's in-laws, the old teacher, who is entertaining.

In the middle of the stairs on the first and second floors, a red carpet began to appear, but it was the lowest acrylic carpet. When I entered the box, it was a thick wool carpet, clean and clean, and the beautiful pattern was clearly visible. The area of the box is more than 60 square meters, half of which is a dining table, half is a mahjong machine, and it is full of sofas.

Secretary Chai's wife and Chai Wei both knew each other, and after shaking hands, Chai Rong introduced his in-laws and mother-in-law, and his daughter-in-law did not wait for the introduction, and called "Uncle Li" with a smile.

"Secretary, please take a seat, I'll go down and pick up Mayor Liu." Chai Rong said and went out.

Wuyang looked at Chai Wei's father-in-law's thin and thin appearance, covered with frost and snow, "The old gentleman has worked hard all his life, it must be all over the world." ”

Secretary Miao praised. I have been teaching since graduating from university in '63 and have been the head teacher of the graduating class of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and I also teach mathematics. There are countless people who have been admitted to college, but unfortunately it is this Chai Wei who came to see me after graduation. ”

"You're going to recruit him as the son-in-law of the East Bed?"

The old teacher smiled: "Secretary, my daughter is here, although I dare not say that she is particularly outstanding, she should still have the posture of Pu Liu." Chai Wei graduated from college and came to see me at school, and I guessed his purpose. At that time, my daughter had just been admitted to university, and I told him: If you can wait for her for 4 years, I will let you take her. At that time, his father was the deputy mayor, and later he became the deputy secretary, and I am sure he will not wait. ”

Wuyang said: "Now you let him take his daughter, it means that he is sincere?" ”

"Yes, it should be."

"Dad, in fact, he has been sending me messages, calling, 5?1, 10?1, New Year's Day or something, and going to school to see me."

"I don't care about it now, you're already married to him, but he hasn't broken his promise, and he hasn't interfered in my work problems, right?"

"Chai Wei, what is your lover doing now?"

"Teaching, or in the city No. 1 middle school, teaching English, she graduated from Beijing Normal University with a master's degree."

"Oh, are there many teachers with such a high degree in No. 1 Middle School?"

"There are not many, mainly concentrated in a few majors that used to be popular and are unemployed after graduation, and English majors are the most foreign-language majors."

"How many other foreign languages did you learn?"

"French and Japanese."

"Then I'm going to ask a few questions." Wuyang himself felt as if he was pretending, and asked questions in Japanese and French, and then asked again in German and Russian, and the other party just shook his head.

The old teacher said, "Secretary, are you so knowledgeable?" ”

"Sir, a foreign language is not a knowledge, it is a tool. I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't asked you for your surname. ”

"Your surname is He, He Shude, my daughter's name is He Ying. Secretary, Chai Wei told me that his promotion in the past few years has nothing to do with his father, and you are all responsible for it, isn't that so? ”

"Teacher He, am I so wrong?"

"I don't care if it's wrong, I just want to know if he's lying."

Wuyang was completely overturned by him. The secretary of the municipal party committee promoted your son-in-law, and if you don't say thank you, you don't even care.

He Ying said: "Uncle Li, don't be like my father, he has this temper. He was a college student before the Cultural Revolution, and his classmates are now either university presidents or academic leaders, and no matter how poor they are, they are also county education directors, and he is a class teacher in the end. ”

"Teacher Xiaohe, I'm going to criticize you, in a big way, you are violating filial piety, specifically, our education is not supported by thousands of such unknown gardeners?"

Chai Wei said: "The secretary's teachings are right, filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it cannot be lost in our hands. ”

"Chai Wei, is the work still smooth?"

"It's okay. The secretary and head of our development zone are relatively united, and the funds are relatively generous, so those of us who do specific work are more handy. ”

"Okay, if you have the opportunity to apply for graduate school, academic qualifications are quite important, and if you want to go further than your father, you must get a doctoral diploma. By the way, the Municipal Agricultural Committee is going to organize a delegation to Europe to learn grape planting technology a year ago, and the Foreign Affairs Office does not have a qualified French translator. ”

"Thank you for your concern, He Ying definitely agrees, and we don't have any opinions. Why hasn't my dad come up yet, I'll go down and see. After Chai Wei finished speaking, he got up, afraid that his father-in-law would say a different opinion.

"Here we are." Liu Canhui and the voice entered the box together. "Secretary, everyone, I'm sorry, there are a few old classmates over there who haven't seen me for many years, I really can't shirk it, so I went to make a show and ran over quickly."

Mrs. Chai Rong said: "Secretary Li chatted with everyone very happily, we didn't know that Secretary Li was so knowledgeable, my in-laws listened to it just now, and they were full of praise." ”

Chai Rong said: "Just kidding, the secretary is a doctor, guess who his mentor is?" (To be continued......)
