The Xu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was lively and joyful, because it was a family reunion, and because of the joining of two big leaders. Especially for Xu Haodong himself, it was particularly meaningful, and later Xu Haodong's three talented friends Xia Fulin, Wang Weiming and Li Zijian commented that this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was a political meal.

The four little guys also set off fireworks and firecrackers on Bayi Road, not only the Xu family, but also every family on Bayi Road, and fireworks and firecrackers were being set off everywhere in the entire Yunling City.

Xu Haodong accompanied the two leaders, Li Zhihong and Dai Changming, as well as his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and watched the whole process of setting off fireworks in the city in front of the window with great interest.

Interestingly, the fireworks start at 6 a.m. on Chinese New Year's Eve and end abruptly at 6:45 a.m.

Li Zhihong and Dai Changming and the two professors were very curious.

Xu Yunjie instructed the four little guys downstairs to set off fireworks, and at this time they also ran back, and asked unsatisfactorily, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" I bought 2,000 yuan of fireworks, and half of them were not finished, and Uncle Liu, who was in charge of this security, said that he could not release them anymore, and if he put them again, he would have to deduct a fine. ”

Xu Haodong said with a smile: "This is called regular lighting of fireworks and firecrackers, which is a special regulation of our Yunling City. ”

Li Zhihong smiled and asked: "Xiao Xu, now the ban on fireworks and firecrackers is very strict, but you are open, you are so bold, aren't you afraid of fire or something?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Secretary Li, we also have no way, setting off fireworks is the first of the ten major customs in Yunling City, especially on Chinese New Year's Eve, in the words of the common people, it is better not to eat Chinese New Year's Eve than not to set off fireworks." If we ban fireworks, the people of the whole city will scold the government and dare to point their noses at their faces. ”

Dai Changming nodded and said with a smile: "The will of the people cannot be violated." ”

"So, we took a compromise approach and set off fireworks at regular intervals, for example, tonight, there are three periods when fireworks can be set off. 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., 11 p.m. to 1 p.m., and 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. on New Year's Day. Just set off fireworks, called to send the old year, fireworks and firecrackers at midnight, called closing the door cannon and opening the door cannon, fireworks and firecrackers on the morning of the first day of the new year, called welcoming the new year. ”

Dai Changming asked, "Xiao Xu, what precautions do you always have to take in advance?" ”

"Yes, two leaders, please see."

As he spoke, Xu Haodong first knocked a few times on the computer keyboard, then took out the remote control from the drawer and turned on the large-screen TV hanging on the wall. A picture of the Municipal Fire Monitoring Center appeared on TV, and the person standing there to command was Zhou Zhengan, political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Xu Haodong called Zhou Zhengan, "Comrade Zhengan, I'm Xu Haodong, you have worked hard, and I'm looking at you now." ”

Zhou Zhengan said: "The secretary is hard, report to the secretary, we are summarizing the alarm situation in the urban area and the townships, so far, more than 95 percent of our public security system attendance, the fire system and its volunteer fire brigade are all on attendance, and all the volunteer security teams are on duty, and we have not yet received a fire alarm call, and no fire has been found at 300 observation points. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Comrade Zheng'an, thank you, thank you, goodbye." ”

After that, Xu Haodong turned off the TV.

Li Zhihong said: "Xiao Xu, you are equivalent to a fire drill." ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said: "Yes, in the process of setting off fireworks and firecrackers just now, not only the public security system, the fire protection system and its volunteer fire brigades, and the volunteer security teams in various places, but I believe that the cadres of various departments and townships are also on the streets. Together with their families, they accompanied their families to set off fireworks while on duty, and most of them carried fire extinguishers. ”

Li Zhihong smiled, "Thoughtful." ”

At this time, the father-in-law asked beside him, "Haodong, you allow fireworks and firecrackers, not just because you respect customs, right?" ”

"Dad, you deserve to be a professor of economics." Xu Haodong said: "There is indeed an economic problem here, our fireworks and firecrackers industry in Yunling City has an annual output value of 3.2 billion yuan. Among them, exports account for more than one-third, the amount of tax payments reaches 550 million yuan, the number of enterprises is more than 830, and the number of employees is more than 21,000. During the Spring Festival, fireworks and firecrackers are set off, and the consumption of fireworks and firecrackers can reach more than 100 million yuan, and we are really reluctant. ”

My mother-in-law said: "I support Haodong's point of view, from the perspective of microeconomics, reform and opening up is actually a matter of having both a fish and a bear's paw, and economic problems are actually a question of how to have both a fish and a bear's paw." Reform and opening up has introduced new thinking and new technologies, and it is inevitable that we will make progress in the mud and sand, but we cannot stop reform and opening up because of this. Now is the Internet era, the Internet is changing the times, and the garbage on the Internet is also everywhere, but we can't stop the Internet world because of this. ”

Li Zhihong nodded and said: "This is dialectics, dialectical materialism." ”

Xu Haodong said to Xu Yunjie: "Xiaojie, you accompany your parents to the opposite door to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Secretary Li and Secretary Dai want to have a long talk with me, you can help us prepare tea and snacks." ”

Li Zhihong waved his hand, "Hey, it's not a state secret, the two professors and Comrade Xiao Xu stayed, Comrade Xiao Xu, I also want you to help me make a recording of the conversation." ”

Dai Changming also said: "Yes, Comrade Xiao Xu, I still want your big data technology and software. ”

And just like that, there were three more observers to the conversation.

Xu Yunjie brought a tea set, brewed high-quality Longjing tea, and brought two packs of Chinese cigarettes, a lighter and four ashtrays.

Dai Changmingqi said: "Xiao Xu, don't you know that Xiao Xu doesn't smoke or drink tea?" I heard that his office is not only strictly forbidden to smoke, but also only drinks water and not tea. ”

Xu Yunjie said with a smile: "Two leaders, don't you know, in fact, my brother-in-law can not only drink, but also smoke and drink tea. ”

Li Zhihong said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, then you will expose and expose, why Xiao Xu usually doesn't smoke, drink or drink tea." ”

"Hee-hee, brother-in-law, offended." Xu Yunjie said with a smile: "Two leaders, I have summed it up, my brother-in-law's biggest advantage is also a characteristic, that is, he is very tolerant, the reason why he usually does not smoke, drink or drink tea is because there is a law of about two and three rules." It was an agreement with my sister, my sister was sick since she was a child, and the doctor said that she would not live to be twenty years old, and my brother-in-law loved my sister, so my brother-in-law usually never smoked, drank or drank tea. Picking is picking the door, just to save money, the family burden is very heavy, he studied economics, you know. Discipline is self-discipline, my brother-in-law said, if you are not a cadre, you can occasionally open the sky, since you are a cadre, you have to suppress many personal desires. ”

Li Zhihong said: "One covenant, two and three laws, it is worth advocating. ”

Dai Changming asked with a smile: "Then this good smoke, good tea and good wine must be your own opinion, right?" ”

Xu Yunjie said: "The leader is right, I paid for it, but with his approval, the two fathers can smoke, drink and drink tea, they rarely come here, and he can't be generous if he doesn't want to." However, the two Chinese cigarettes cost 800 yuan, which made him feel distressed all night. ”

Li Zhihong and Dai Changming both burst out laughing.

In the laughter, the three old men began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, Xu Haodong asked Xu Yunjie to open the window and open the door to keep the indoor air unblocked, and at the same time lit a rare cigarette.

Dai Changming said: "Xiao Xu, you talk about those three articles, that is, the relevant regulations on the exchange of courtesies between cadres, the system of comprehensive talks between cadres before taking office, and the anti-bribery alliance of entrepreneurs. ”
