Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Variety of Flowers and Fewer Thorns
Approaching the end of the year is the time when the township zhèngfǔ is relatively relaxed, although there is no holiday, but most of the cadres are in a state of herding sheep. Many people order a meal in the township at 8 o'clock in the morning, and then quietly go and go to do their own things.
After Cheng Jiemin returned to Kuanyang Township from the county, he drank two meals with Liu Tairan, and was dragged by Zhang Chu to sit at home again.
While drinking at Zhang Chu's house, Li Tonghuai rushed over halfway. In addition to having a few drinks with Cheng Jiemin, he also revealed a message to Cheng Jiemin: Lu Xiaoyang seems to have made arrangements for Cheng Jiemin's work.
However, Li Tonghuai is not clear about the specific arrangements. The reason why he knew this was because when the team gathered yesterday, the township mayor Yang Yuanchao mentioned Cheng Jiemin's work arrangement. Lu Xiaoyang said lightly after the New Year, and then stopped talking. According to Li Tonghuai's understanding of Lu Xiaoyang, he felt that Lu Xiaoyang must have a number in his heart in this matter.
Although I don't know what kind of job Lu Xiaoyang has arranged for him, it is definitely not to take care of him. Fortunately, Cheng Jiemin has enough psychological preparation, the situation is already like this, I am worried that there will be a fart!
Lu Xiaoyang, you wait, Lao Tzu has to let you know that I, Cheng Jiemin, am not dough, I can knead it at will!
While feeling sad and angry, Cheng Jiemin felt that life had taught him a lesson. When you get involved in officialdom, you must plant a variety of flowers and fewer thorns, don't underestimate someone, maybe one day you will soar, which will be a stumbling block on your way forward. A good word is warm, sometimes a kind act of you will make the interpersonal relationship more lubricated and harmonious. This Li Tonghuai is a proof of this.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the whole Kuanyang Township is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and every household is cooking meat, fried fish, steaming steamed buns, and preparing to welcome the arrival of the New Year with joy. Cheng Jiemin received the 200 yuan festival fee issued by the township, carried a pig's head and more than 20 fish, and set foot on the way home.
Although Cheng Jiemin's home is not in Yinbian City, it borders Cangliu County. Even better, there is also a direct train between the two counties. After getting on the bus to his hometown of Huagon County, Cheng Jiemin's heart was filled with happiness.
Do the math, it's been almost a year since I went home. originally planned to go home after graduating from college, but because of the assignment, he went directly to the Water Conservancy Department after graduation, and was favored by Chen Bingnan as a secretary, and he never had the opportunity to go home.
is getting closer and closer to his hometown, Cheng Jiemin's heart is full of eager expectations: how is his father's health, his mother should be busy preparing for the New Year's food now, is the little bell growing taller again, and ......
……
"Little pillar, come this way!"
"Xiaoling, the ice is thin over there, don't forget to go over there!"
"Oh, be careful, you almost knocked me to the ground."
Outside the village in winter, there is a large river crater with thick ice on the water. The countryside, where everything is in decline, has become a natural playground and sports ground for children. The children in the neighborhood were so unhappy that they were sliding around on the ice.
Wangshan Village is located on the north side of a hill, and a small river bubbles through the village, making the whole village present a feng shui trend of leaning on the river and leaning against the mountain. However, this seems to be a good geographical environment in feng shui, and it did not make this small mountain village catch up with any good luck, because there is not much land, and the people in the village are living a tight life.
The more this kind of environment, the more young children look forward to the New Year. For these children, the Chinese New Year not only means that they have new clothes to wear, but also that lumps of meat can be stewed into fragrant stews.
"Little bell, look at this bow of mine, this is what my sister bought for me from the county seat." A little girl in a new dress takes off the bow on her head and shows it to a little girl in a black jacket.
The girl named Little Bell took the bow made of jīng qiaohua cloth, carefully held it in her hand, looked at it for a while, and then reluctantly returned it.
"Little bell, you put it on first, and go back to me at night." Seeing the envious gaze of her companion, the little girl was a little unbearable, and took off her hairpin again.
The little bell was overjoyed, and just about to take it, he retracted his hand again: "Don't ...... Still don't wear it, you can put it on quickly! ”
Just as the two girls were pushing, a chubby little boy ran over and said, "Little bell, I just saw your brother and Tian Yu and her sister go to the grove!" ”
Little Bell's eyes widened suddenly, and he glared at the little fat man fiercely, pursed his lips and said, "Little pillar, let me tell you, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I beat you!" ”
Although the little pillar was a boy, he didn't dare to resist in the face of the fierce little bell, but just whispered: "I just saw it!" ”
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" The little bell was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed the little boy's ear, and pulled it hard. The pain made the little boy grin his teeth and begged for mercy again and again: "I didn't see it alone, several people saw it!" I don't want to say it's not okay! ”
"Alright, don't talk nonsense to them." The little bell rolled her eyes and said loudly to the little fat man.
Xiao Zhu agreed, and quickly ran away.
Tian Yu, the little girl in the new clothes, said worriedly: "Little bell, what can I do about this, my dad sued my sister last time, and if she looks for your brother again, she will break my sister's leg!" ”
Little Bell thought about it and comforted his little friend with a smile: "It's okay, I think your dad is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, he speaks more ruthlessly, who is willing to beat his own daughter." ”
Tian Yu nodded thoughtfully: "This is also true." By the way, my cousin asked me to ask, what ...... When will your second brother come back from the province? ”
"It should be these two days!" Little Bell turned his head to look at the grove behind him, and then whispered, "I hope I don't let your dad know this time!" ”
Deep in the woods behind the little bell's gaze, there was a pair of young men hugging each other tightly, no, it should be the woman clinging to him. This woman doesn't look like a rural girl at all, she doesn't look rustic at all, with a fair face and a slender figure, you can see at a glance that she must be a well-known handsome woman in this small village.
"Jieguo, you have found your ID card, and after the New Year, we will go to the township to get the card first."
The man was obviously hesitant: "Can your dad agree?" ”
"You are still a person who has gone to junior high school, marriage zìyóu is stipulated by law, what if he is unhappy, no one can stop me from marrying you!"
Cheng Jieguo looked at the lovely woman in front of him with some emotion, it seems that such a plan has been planned for her for a long time, the farmers in front of the village and behind the village only see her appearance beautiful, only he Cheng Jieguo can understand the gorgeous jīng divine brilliance on her body.
How he longed to live happily with this childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately her father was like a mountain between the two of them.
"Will this work?"
"I just say yes!" The woman didn't know how to feel sorry for this man, so she kindly pinched Cheng Jieguo and said: "You are really an elm head, my dad has me over there." ”
While speaking, the woman took out a small bag from her pocket: "I went to the county seat for a meeting this time, and it was good to see this small radio, you can listen to it more if you have nothing to do." ”
Cheng Jieguo opened the pouch and saw a palm-sized black and blue radio, stroking the jīng shell, and whispered: "What are you buying this thing for, I can't use it." ”
"Let you hear how good the outside world is." While the woman was talking, she affectionately stuffed the small radio into Cheng Jieguo's pocket, and said regretfully: "If you hadn't dropped out of school back then, you would be a college student now!" ”
The god in Cheng Jieguo's eyes flickered, and then said: "You don't know the situation in my family, I am an elder brother, how can I not help my father and mother share some of it!" ”
The woman didn't speak, but fell into Cheng Jieguo's arms softly. Feeling the smell of sweat stains on his body, the whole person actually had a feeling of intoxication. And in her heart, she was still thinking about what she had just said, if the person in front of her followed her to school, she would definitely be able to be admitted to university, and then the two of them would teach in the township together......
It's a pity that it's all imagination.
Pleasant times are fleeting like streamers. Two people who are intoxicated with love are reluctant to separate from the grove. Cheng Jieguo pinched the small radio in his hand and instructed softly: "Don't quarrel with your father when you go home, it's a big New Year." ”
"Okay, I got it." The woman glanced at Cheng Jieguo affectionately, and said mischievously: "I've been exercising recently, as long as my dad talks, I treat him as if he is chanting, hehe, no matter how much my dad nags, my left ear goes in, and my right ear comes out." ”
"You!" Cheng Jieguo reached out and pinched the woman's nose and said dotingly.
"Jieguo, when will your brother come back, I saw my cousin in the county seat the day before yesterday, and she asked me to ask. This year they may come back from the county for the New Year. After Tian Hua took two steps, he asked softly.
Cheng Jieguo's face is seven points similar to Cheng Jiemin, and he said with a smile: "I'll come back in the next two days, by the way, is your cousin interested in Jiemin?" ”
"What nonsense, do we sisters deserve to be bullied by your brothers." As Tian Hua spoke, he pinched Cheng Jieguo's shoulder fiercely.
Walking out of the woods, Cheng Jieguo walked briskly towards home. While thinking about Tian Hua's proposal in his heart, he was thinking about waiting for his younger brother to come back, whether to go to the township to cut a few catties of meat and come back, so as to have a good New Year.
"Jieguo, go home quickly, Tian Laosan is going to find your father!" An old man smoking a dry cigarette saw Cheng Jieguo and shouted loudly.
