"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Zhang, hello, my name is Duan Zetao, and I am Xiaoxue's classmate." After Duan Zetao put down the gift, he came to the middle of the room and respectfully introduced himself.

The middle-aged couple held hands and sat on the sofa solemnly, although they did not refuse Duan Zetao to enter the house, they did not give him a good look, after Duan Zetao introduced himself, the couple still didn't say a word, so he stood awkwardly. The air in the room was condensed, oppressive.

Jiang Xiaoxue watched her beloved lover being hung up by her parents, and her heart ached, she pulled the corner of Duan Zetao's clothes and said, "Zetao, you sit down and say." ”。

Duan Zetao sat down on the sofa on the side, and when he saw an ashtray on the coffee table, he hurriedly took out the Furong King and handed one to Jiang Zuoliang, "Uncle Jiang, you smoke." ”。

Jiang Zuoliang glanced up at Duan Zetao, the boy in front of him was still good in terms of appearance and conversation, not as bad as he imagined, but unfortunately he had no family background and worked in the remote Shannan, just because of this, it was impossible for him to become his son-in-law.

He waved his hand and refused the cigarette Duan Zetao handed over, but picked up a pack of soft China from under the coffee table, smoked one and put it in his mouth, although Duan Zetao was a little embarrassed, he quickly took back his cigarette and took out a lighter to help Jiang Zuoliang light the fire.

It's quite good at things, his action made Jiang Zuoliang's impression of him slightly better, and after spitting a puff of smoke from his nostrils, Jiang Zuoliang finally said the first thing Duan Zetao said when he entered the house: "Young man, where is home?" Who are some of the people in the family? What do you do? ”。

This is the beginning of the household registration check, Duan Zetao answered one by one without humility or arrogance, Zhang Xiaoxian, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help it, and snorted coldly: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, and a poor boy from the countryside still wants to marry our Xiaoxue, joke!" ”。

Although Duan Zetao had been mentally prepared, he didn't want Zhang Xiaoxian to say so ugly when he opened his mouth, so he held back his anger and said: "Uncle, aunt, the emperor will have nothing to do, please give me a little time, I will definitely make some achievements to prove that I can give Xiaoxue happiness." ”。

Zhang Xiaoxian glanced at Jiang Xiaoxue, who was in tears on the side, and her heart was a little soft, but thinking of Jiang Xiaoxue's future, she hid a trace of warmth in her heart again, and her facial expression became as hard as a walnut again, "Hmph, proof?!" What proof do you take! I can't bet my daughter's happiness for the rest of her life on this illusory proof of yours! ”。

Jiang Zuoliang pulled Zhang Xiaoxian, who was a little excited, and said: "Xiao Duan, although your aunt's words are ugly, but we only have one daughter, Xiaoxue, of course, I hope she lives a happy life, and it is impossible to give her happiness under your current conditions, so we can't agree to you being together, I believe you can understand." ”。

In this case, Duan Zetao had long expected that it was under the pressure of Jiang Zuoliang and Zhang Xiaoxian in his previous life that he broke up with Jiang Xiaoxue, but when this scene reappeared, his heart was like being crushed by a big hand, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he glanced at Jiang Xiaoxue, who was pale and grief-stricken next to him, and her tragic experience in her previous life came to mind, is the tragedy going to happen again? Never!

His thinking became clear, he stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, looked directly at Jiang Zuoliang with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, aunt, although you don't agree with me and Xiaoxue to continue to have a relationship, I don't blame you, because you are wholeheartedly for Xiaoxue, I can understand this." But if Xiaoxue breaks up with me and finds someone she doesn't love to marry, do you think she will really be happy? ”。

Jiang Xiaoxue burst into tears and stared at Duan Zetao affectionately, just like a school-wide debate at Jiangnan University three years ago, she also watched Duan Zetao make a final statement in front of thousands of people, turning the tide with a wonderful argument, moving the judges and everyone present, becoming the best debater in that debate, and also opening her heart, will there be a miracle this time?

Jiang Zuoliang and Zhang Xiaoxian were also intimidated by Duan Zetao's momentum, and were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, Zhang Xiaoxian opened her mouth, and just wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Duan Zetao's powerful gesture, "Auntie, please listen to me, my requirements are not high, please give me three years, if I can't prove that I can bring happiness to Xiaoxue within three years, then I will take the initiative to give up and never pester Xiaoxue again!" Trust me! ”。

Jiang Zuoliang and Zhang Xiaoxian exchanged glances, frowned and said, "Okay, I'll give you three years, if you can become a county-level cadre or earn more than 10 million assets within three years, I will marry Xiaoxue to you, but in these three years, you can't meet Xiaoxue again." ”。

In Jiang Zuoliang's view, it is impossible for Duan Zetao to fulfill these two conditions, Duan Zetao is now 23 years old, and three years later, that is, he will become a county and department-level cadre at the age of 26, which has no precedent in the entire Jiangnan Province, and even does not conform to the rules for cadre promotion at all.

Jiang Xiaoxue obviously understood this, and said hurriedly: "Dad, this is not fair, you also became the director in your thirties, what... Duan Zetao shook her hand hard, looked at her with firm and confident eyes and said, "Xiaoxue, please believe me!" After speaking, he turned his head to Jiang Zuoliang and said, "Uncle, I promise your conditions, you are all busy, I won't bother, goodbye!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

"Zetao! I'll send you! Jiang Xiaoxue screamed and hurriedly chased her out, Zhang Xiaoxian wanted to stop her, but was persuaded by Jiang Zuoliang, "Let them go, some things can't be pushed too hard, I think that young man is also a measured person, but unfortunately his background is a little worse, otherwise it would be good to be my son-in-law!" ”。

Duan Zetao and the teary-eyed Jiang Xiaoxue said goodbye, the two agreed never to give up, but they still seemed to be blocked in their hearts, so they didn't have the heart to stay in the provincial capital anymore, called Tan Hong and said it, and hurried back to Shanglin Township in the car that day, and joined the craze of organizing villagers to pick citrus.

Fortunately, Duan Zetao established a certain prestige because of the family planning work, and personally went to the front line to do the persuasion and organization work, and finally picked and packed more than 8 million catties of citrus within half a month, and stacked them in the large playground of Shanglin Township School.

When the large convoy of red banners of Sinopec with the red banner of "Love Citrus Student Aid Action" drove into Shanglin Township, Zhong Hanliang and the village cadres finally let go of most of the hearts that had been hanging.

Duan Zetao took Li Wenxiu and a group of citrus sales volunteers to the provincial capital with a convoy full of citrus, and before that, the major media had pre-hyped the event a week in advance as agreed, and after the event began, the traffic radio station and the economic radio station reported on the event for eight hours a day, and the TV station also reported on the event during the prime news hour.

"Love citrus student action" in the provincial capital caused a sensation, the response of the public is very warm, come to buy citrus to give love to the car owners in an endless stream, once caused traffic congestion, there are many citizens to come to offer love, many citizens do not ask the price at all, drop a 100 yuan bill to move a box of citrus to run, and many citizens after reading the publicity board at the event site, have expressed their support to support out-of-school children in mountainous areas, and two caring enterprises said to help build two hope primary schools in Shanglin.

The whole activity has been a great success, more than 8 million catties of citrus sold out in less than three days, the sale price of more than 5 million yuan, far higher than the normal market sales income, in addition to the on-site love donations of about 800,000 yuan, more than 200 out-of-school children have been supported by caring people, Li Wenxiu also got the support of a caring person, to bear all the tuition fees of her four years of college, and fulfilled her college dream.

Duan Zetao may be regarded as the busiest person on the scene, he not only has to coordinate the work on the scene, but also personally joined the team of citrus sales, patiently explaining to the citizens who came to consult, his throat was hoarse for three days, and he couldn't bother to wipe the beads of sweat dripping from soybeans.

Xie Na took Yuan Xidong to the scene, looked at Duan Zetao, who was too busy to put his feet on the ground, and said that the man at work was the most handsome, a different look flashed in her eyes, and she quietly pressed the camera shutter to take a photo of Duan Zetao sweating profusely and selling citrus.

The next day, the Jiangnan Provincial Metropolis Daily published a special report on the front page "The Township Chief Who Sells Citrus", and the photo of Duan Zetao sweating profusely selling citrus was also distributed next to the report.

Zhao Xiangyang, secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, pointed to the report of the Jiangnan Provincial Daily and said to Liu Dongsheng, director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee: "This township chief named Duan Zetao is very good, very good at using his brains, doing things and working hard, we lack such grassroots cadres now, and your Organization Department should focus on cultivating such cadres!" ”。 Liu Dongsheng nodded again and again, and remembered the township chief who sold citrus.

Sun Xianglong, secretary of the Shannan Prefectural Party Committee, also read this report, and immediately found Zhang Xiaochuan, director of the Organization Department of the Prefectural Party Committee, and happily pointed to the report and said: "Xiaochuan, the Duan Zetao mentioned in this report is from our Shannan, it's very good, it has won glory for our Shannan, and just now Minister Liu of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee specially called me to praise this Duan Zetao." ”。

Zhang Xiaochuan was also very happy, and said: "Secretary Xianglong, this Duan Zetao is the young cadre recruited by our Organization Department from Jiangnan University last time, and it is a bold attempt by our Organization Department to train young cadres, and now it seems to be very successful. ”。

Sun Xianglong nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, many of our cadres are aging, their education level is not high, and their thinking is also rigid, so they know that they need to wait for it, so we must enrich more young fresh blood, and we must focus on cultivating and boldly appointing young cadres like Duan Zetao." ”。

Ma Fugui, secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee, smiled from ear to ear when he read the report, and said to Xiao Lin on the side: "Good Duan Zetao, I know that this kid is not simple, even the provincial newspaper has reported it, and now our Gulin County is also famous, hehe!" ”。

Some people are also unhappy, Liu Mingzheng, the magistrate of Gulin County, looked at the newspaper with a cloudy face, and said to himself: "This Duan Zetao will be grandiose, isn't it just selling some citrus, and his tail is cocked to the sky!" ”。

Liu Yi, who was recuperating at home, read the report and was so angry that he tore up the newspaper, but he couldn't stay at home anymore, and if he continued like this, his position as the head of the township would not be able to be kept in a few days, so he hurriedly took his leave and went back to work in Shanglin Township.
