Xiaoxue wanted to go home by herself, but Teacher Chen insisted on sending her back, because it was dark early in winter, and when she returned to Gaotupo, it was already a light of thousands of homes, and through a little light, fine snowflakes fluttered in the air, which was particularly crystalline.

When they returned to the courtyard, Xiaoxue and Teacher Chen's heads and shoulders were white, the two stood at the door and stomped their feet, shook off the mud on the soles of their shoes, and slapped the snow on their clothes, suddenly the door opened, and a warmth came out, Xiaoxue's father was actually at home.

"Dad, why are you back, aren't you in the hospital?" Xiaoxue was surprised.

"Tomorrow there is a big event in the neighborhood committee, and my father is afraid of delay, so he will come back first, hey, isn't this Mr. Chen, please sit in the house." Lao Wen warmly invited.

Teacher Chen hurriedly said, "Don't bother, I'll go back for the Chinese New Year." As he was about to leave, a man came behind him and stopped his bicycle.

Teacher Chen looked at it fixedly, it was Liu Ziguang who went to the meeting on behalf of Xiaoxue's parents last time, Liu Ziguang said enthusiastically: "Teacher Chen finally came here, let's not let him go, let's have a drink together." ”

Teacher Chen wanted to refuse, but at this time, the neighbors in the courtyard came out, and the three old and four young greeted Teacher Chen warmly, giving him a feeling of hospitality, Liu Ziguang also shook his head and read: "Green ant new wine, red clay small stove, late day snow desire, can you drink a cup of no?" Mr. Chen is also a cultural person, and if you don't have a drink, you will be sorry for the heavy snow. ”

Teacher Chen is not a layman, when he heard Liu Ziguang say this, he laughed and said: "I like Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen" the most, I originally wanted to have a drink when I went home, since everyone has similar interests, I will stay for a drink." ”

"Let's go, go to the second meat shop." Liu Ziguang pulled Teacher Chen, and beckoned Brother Wen and Xiaoxue to go with him, and the four of them came to the small restaurant in the alley, and the boss saw Liu Ziguang coming, and said happily; "Director Liu is here, hurry up and please, the pot is ready for you."

The pot is the special diet of Jiangbei City, it is a small stove made of red mud, put a shallow iron pot on it, stew on the chicken or fish, and then paste a thin dough cake in a circle, there are vegetables, soup and rice, there is charcoal heating in the hearth, it is most suitable to eat the pot in winter, if you have a cup of wine, the taste is simply immortal.

The four of them sat down, and Liu Ziguang shouted: "Boss, let's serve the wine, first come two bottles of Huaijiang Daqu." ”

"Okay." With a hearty answer, two pots, two bottles of liquor were served, as well as fried peanuts and dry-cut beef slices necessary for drinking, there was snow outside, the house was warm like spring, although the heavy wooden tables and chairs were rough and clumsy, but clean and firm, although the dishes were simple, but delicious, although Huaijiang Daqu was the cheapest liquor, it was the favorite liquor of generations of Jiangbei men.

Xiaoxue is very well-behaved to help the adults pour wine, Lao Wen has a chronic disease and can't drink, just look at the cup in front of him, the main force is still Liu Ziguang and Teacher Chen, don't look at Teacher Chen is a literati, tobacco and alcohol are very powerful, sit down to smoke, but took out a deflated cigarette case from his pocket, smiled helplessly and threw it away, Liu Ziguang quickly took out his Zhongnanhai and said: "Teacher Chen is used to this?" ”

Teacher Chen said, "I can smoke anything." ”

The four of them laughed for a while, Liu Ziguang helped Teacher Chen light a cigarette, raised his cup and said: "Today we have a fate, I salute everyone, I wish Brother Wen a speedy recovery, I wish Teacher Chen a peach and plum all over the world, and I wish Xiaoxue to learn and progress." ”

Lao Wen smiled: "Ziguang is becoming more and more a leader. ”

The owner of the tavern also came over and said: "Director Liu was originally the leader, the director of our Gaotupo neighborhood committee, and there are thousands of people under him." ”

"Really? Xiao Liu, are you the director of the neighborhood committee? Teacher Chen was surprised.

Liu Ziguang smiled: "Thanks to everyone's love, let me be a small official with a sesame mung bean, in fact, I don't want to be this director, because it involves too much energy, but now Gaotupo ** is imminent, in order to help everyone seek justice, I can live in a fixed place, this director, I will not let it!" ”

"Well said!" Everyone applauded together, and at this time, a few more people poured in outside, Uncle Bei, Deng Yunfeng, and a few neighbors, Liu Ziguang hurriedly said: "Add a bench, add hello, and take two bottles of wine." ”

The tavern was in full swing, everyone poured a small wine cup full of liquor, saluted each other, smacked, and discussed the matter of tomorrow's election, the election work of the director of the Gaotupo Neighborhood Committee was placed on the afternoon of New Year's Day, and this day was specially selected for the convenience of counting votes, and everyone was at home during the holidays, so that the election was fair.

In fact, the position of director is none other than Liu Ziguang, but the necessary procedures also have to be taken, the street office has said hello, and now Zhou Wenshui is rising, and he is already the acting mayor's secretary, he made a phone call to arrange a trivial matter, and the director of the office is not going to do it well.

Liu Ziguang first salutes everyone, and then everyone salutes back, after three rounds of wine, the depth of the wine is separated, some comrades' faces are red, some people are white, some people remain unchanged, Mr. Chen is the kind of person who does not change color, and this person drinks wine and does not eat vegetables, takes a sip of the wine glass, throws a peanut into his mouth and chews it, enjoying himself.

After drinking for a while, the neighbors all dispersed, Lao Wen's physical strength was not good, and he went back to rest, and Liu Ziguang and Teacher Chen were left in the tavern to drink, Xiaoxue sat on the side and listened to the braggings of the two men she admired the most.

Four bottles of Huaijiang Daqu have bottomed out, except for the neighbors who drink, Liu Ziguang and Teacher Chen always have eight taels each, but the two are still unsatisfied, and they ordered another bottle of liquor, and the conversation went deeper.

Teacher Chen said very frankly: "Xiao Liu, you are not a simple person, when I first saw you, I knew that you were not idle, but I still looked away, not only are you not idle, you can even be called not a thing in the pool." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Teacher Chen laughed and drank wine. ”

Teacher Chen said: "I drank a lot, but I didn't get drunk, now in this society, the whole lack of faith, everyone is mercenary, even the school is such a sacred place is difficult to spare, if this continues, the school will become a place to collect money, I think that is when I return." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "This is even more necessary for people like you, Mr. Chen, to transmit the correct values, outlook on life, and worldview to them, if we let go, this generation will be ruined." ”

Teacher Chen sighed and said: "No. 1 Middle School has a long history, a long history, my father was teaching in No. 1 Middle School, now it is me, my daughter is also a graduate of No. 1 Middle School, our family is full of feelings for No. 1 Middle School, I don't want it to deteriorate and degenerate, but it backfires, if I guess correctly, it won't be long before No. 1 Middle School will become a private school......

Liu Ziguang was keenly aware that something should have happened today, which stimulated Teacher Chen, so he asked Xiaoxue: "What news is there at school today?" ”

"Classes in the morning, theatrical performances in the afternoon, and in the evening, the principal's secretary and the director of education arranged for a few of us girls to have dinner, and before I started eating, I was picked up by Teacher Chen."

Liu Ziguang suddenly understood, and sneered: "Combined with the white play I made some time ago, which damn is so big that you actually let students accompany you to drink?" ”

"The rich Wang Ba Junior, he thought I wouldn't recognize him if he changed his name, hum, Nie Wenfu! The commander of the No. 1 faction of the **period, my father was tortured by him and committed suicide. Teacher Chen seemed to have drunk too much, but Liu Ziguang believed that he was pouring out his heart with the strength of wine, which he usually didn't dare to say and didn't want to say.

"Teacher Chen, don't worry, these eight calves dare to do this, I will definitely teach them a lesson." Liu Ziguang said.

"Forget it, Xiaoxue is still in school and is facing the college entrance examination soon, I don't want her studies to be affected, if necessary, I will directly report to the leaders of the Education Bureau."

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and the smart Xiaoxue quickly changed the topic and asked, "Teacher Chen, when will your daughter come back?" ”

When it comes to her daughter, Teacher Chen's face is filled with happiness and she says, "She will come back during the winter vacation." ”

Liu Ziguang asked, "Teacher Chen, you still have a daughter." ”

Teacher Chen said proudly: "I have a son and a daughter, my son is now at Harvard University in the United States, he is on a full scholarship, I don't have a penny, my daughter is a graduate student of the Academy of Fine Arts, my wife went to the United States last month, and now I am the only one in the family, otherwise I would not dare to drink like this." ”

……

Although Mr. Chen drank nearly two catties of liquor, his thinking was still agile and his steps were steady, but Liu Ziguang still drove Mr. Chen and his bicycle to his home.

When he came back, Liu Ziguang went directly to Binjiang Jinguancheng, and the hard disk taken out of the resplendent monitoring room included a lot of video images in the private room, all of which were unsightly men and women messing around, but most of the people in the lens Liu Ziguang didn't know, and he could only see that he was not young and his belly was not small.

Yan Jinlong is such a shrewd person, he won't collect useless things, although these small videos are quite clear, but the artistry is too poor, and they are too inferior to similar programs in Japan, so there is only one result, the male protagonist in these videos must be a person with an identity, a person worthy of blackmail.

It's a matter of confidentiality, of course, it can't be leaked at will, so Liu Ziguang thought of Li Kun, her social level is relatively high, and she has dealings with some big people in the city, so it is most suitable for her to identify these characters.

Yesterday, Liu Ziguang copied the backup to the mobile hard drive and handed it to Li Kun, I don't know how many she has identified now.

In the Jinguancheng mansion, Xiao Cheng had already fallen asleep, and the maid had also gone home, wearing a nightgown and pulling wool slippers, and Li Kun, who was lazy and delicate, helped Liu Ziguang make a cup of tea, shrugged his small nose and said, "How much wine did you drink?" ”

"I drank two glasses with the old teacher of No. 1 Middle School, but I didn't expect intellectuals to be able to drink, by the way, how many people did you recognize in that video?"

Li Kun's face flushed, and he said angrily: "I just watched the beginning, I don't dare to read it anymore, it's too embarrassing." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "How can this be done, this is a big deal, you have to do it." ”

Li Kun said: "Or...... Will you watch it with me? ”
