When I was about to leave work in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.

Li Xiaohe raised his head and looked in the direction of the door: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and a young man entered.

Seeing each other, Li Xiaohe said happily: "Xiao Cheng, when did you come?" ”

"Secretary, no, director, I'll be there at half past two." The person who came was Cheng Jianfeng.

"Why didn't you look for me when you arrived so early?" Xiaohe walked out from behind the desk, "How's it going?" ”

"All the formalities are done." Cheng Jianfeng explained: "When I first came, I looked for you first, and you went out. I happened to meet the deputy director above, and she found someone to help me get a meal card and arrange a dormitory. I came here after cleaning up the dorm. ”

"Deputy Director Fang is really enthusiastic." Li Xiaohe said, "It's okay now, everyone has got their wish." ”

On the third day after arriving in the county, Li Xiaohe received a call from Zhou Liang, saying that Xiao Haiyang had been looking for Cheng Jianfeng's problem for two days in a row, and he wanted to change people after listening to his words. Zhou Liang felt that Cheng Jianfeng was good, and suggested that Li Xiaohe transfer him to his side, otherwise Cheng Jianfeng would also be angry. In fact, Li Xiaohe also admires this veteran, but he didn't care about it for a while, and he couldn't just tear down the platform in the township. Understood what Zhou Liang meant, and asked Cheng Jianfeng's opinion, Cheng Jianfeng was a hundred willing. So Li Xiaohe helped transfer Cheng Jianfeng, Xiao Haiyang was also busy transferring his own people, and Xiao Yuan drove for the township mayor Zhang Quan, which can be said to be a happy thing.

"Thank you Director for helping me transfer work, thank you Director for your continued care, thank you!" Cheng Jianfeng bowed deeply.

Through this year's contact, Li Xiaohe knows Cheng Jianfeng very well, and knows that this young man is loyal and upright, but he is not good at expressing himself, and he is already the most sincere to be able to express himself like this. He waved his hand: "You're welcome." You sit down and listen to me about the precautions. ”

Cheng Jianfeng said that after Director Li sat back in his place, he also sat on the sofa.

Li Xiaohe said: "Xiao Cheng, this time I transferred you to the county, it was also due to various factors. You don't have to thank me, you have to thank the secretary and thank the secretary, if it weren't for the secretary's help, I wouldn't have this energy. The secretary is dedicated to the public, and he doesn't need your thanks, as long as you put your body and mind into your work and perform your duties wholeheartedly, it is a reward for the secretary. Now your working relationship is in the county party committee, under the management of the county party committee office, not the county leader chauffeur, usually drive the old off-road. The work environment of the county party committee has changed and the nature of work has also changed, so the work methods should also be adjusted, and attention should be paid to the following aspects: 1. 、......"

Cheng Jianfeng nodded while listening, and promised continuously.

It took more than ten minutes for Li Xiaohe to explain the precautions.

Just then, the phone rang on the desk.

Seeing the leader calling, Cheng Jianfeng left the house after saying goodbye.

Seeing the caller ID clearly, Li Xiaohe answered the phone: "Secretary Zhao...... It should be about ...... I'll take a look after work...... If there is any change, I will let you know in time. ”

……

Half past six in the afternoon, Xiaojuan Restaurant.

The restaurant is a street-facing façade with a courtyard gate on the north side of the restaurant and five bungalows in the courtyard. The bungalow is hidden behind the doorway and doorway, and only the red ridge can be seen outside.

Outside the courtyard gate stood a middle-aged man with pale temples, who was standing here before six o'clock, looking in the direction of the south and at the speeding cars. Every time I looked at it excitedly, I lazily withdrew my gaze.

Finally, the man's eyes flashed again, staring at a slowly approaching taxi, and greeted him.

The taxi stopped, the door quickly opened, and a capable man with a Chinese character face stepped out of the car.

"Secretary Zhao."

"Director Li."

The two men clasped their hands together. The two are none other than Zhao Qiang, the former secretary of the Shuangsheng Township Party Committee, and Li Xiaohe, the township head. Zhao Qiang waited here when he got home from work, and Li Xiaohe hurried over after confirming that Secretary Leng was indeed not sent.

A middle-aged woman came out of the restaurant at the right time and came to greet her: "Township Chief Li, come into the house quickly, you two wait, you two will have it soon." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for the trouble." Li Xiaohe said politely.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly waved her hands: "Don't bother, Township Chief Li, you ......"

"People are now the director of the county party committee office, don't always be the 'township chief and township head'." Zhao Qiang corrected on the side.

"I don't understand your set, I know that this is Township Chief Li, the eldest brother." The middle-aged woman choked Zhao Qiang back, and then said to Li Xiaohe, "Brother Li, go and wait inside, stir-fry quickly, it's fast." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law......" Halfway through the words, Li Xiaohe stopped talking, because the other party had already walked into the restaurant quickly.

Zhao Qiang pointed in the direction of the restaurant: "This Liu Xiaojuan doesn't pay attention to the rules at all." ”

"My sister-in-law is the real temperament and the real life." Li Xiaohe nodded frequently.

"Don't let her hear it, or it's beautiful, I don't know how many bowls of dry rice to eat." Speaking of this, Zhao Qiang's tone changed, "But my son's graduate studies all depend on her, if there is no her...... Don't say anything, go, go into the house. With that, Zhao Qiang pushed open the courtyard door.

Li and Zhao walked into the courtyard together and went straight to the main house.

The kang table has been set up on the kang in the east room of the main house, and the liquor and wine glasses are all ready.

The two took off their shoes and went to the kang and sat down at the kang table.

"Director Li, when I called me last Friday, I was still in Cao Gonglin, don't say it's really like that. This time the city spent money, let us eat and drink for more than ten days, walked six provinces and cities, I really didn't expect to encounter this beautiful thing for the first time. But it's also quite rewarding, I really don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, it really opened my eyes, and the Historical Archives Bureau can learn from some things appropriately. Zhao Qiang was very excited, "But what I didn't expect was that Township Chief Li became Director Li, which was like a thunderclap on the ground." When I first heard the news, I thought I was mistaken, but it wasn't until I heard you say it yourself that I realized that God had opened my eyes. ”

Li Xiaohe said: "Yes, I didn't expect it either, so I wanted to share it with Secretary Zhao, just in time for you to be there." I originally wanted to invite you to sit down, but in the end I had to trouble you and my sister-in-law. ”

"What is this called, and what is the trouble? The director of the county party committee office can come in person, that is the invisible advertisement of the small store, you don't charge advertising fees with us, this is already earned. Zhao Qiang smiled, in a very good mood, "There is a small shop at home, why do you go out to eat?" If you have a storefront, I won't go outside. ”

"You two drink it first, and two stir-fried vegetables will come out of the pot immediately." Liu Xiaojuan entered the house and put the fried soybeans, peanuts, side dishes, and ham in the tray on the table. "Big brother, our own family is cooking, if you don't come here, where are you going? If you have a cook, bah, look at my mouth. Patting on the side of her mouth, Liu Xiaojuan walked out of the house.

"If you see it, let it cool when you open your mouth." Zhao Qiang pointed in the direction of the door

Li Xiaohe responded: "What my sister-in-law said was originally the truth. ”

"Come on, let's drink first." As he spoke, Zhao Qiang had already poured two small glasses of liquor, and also picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Come, congratulations on Director Li's promotion." ”

Li Xiaohe waved his hand and interrupted: "Secretary Zhao, don't be 'director and director', it sounds awkward, and it seems too raw." ”

"You're a 'secretary', I'm not awkward?" Zhao Qiang asked rhetorically.

Li Xiaohe smiled "haha": "Come, Brother Zhao, thank you and sister-in-law." ”

"Here we go again, thank you, thank you? Brother Xiaohe, come, this cup is to congratulate you. Zhao Qiang stretched out his wine glass.

"Come, drink together." Li Xiaohe touched the other party.

The two of them drank it all.

"Stir-fried seasonal vegetables and sauce-flavored elbow flowers are here." Liu Xiaojuan sang and harmonized, and two plates of stir-fried vegetables were served.

"Come on, drink." Zhao Qiang picked up the wine bottle, and the two of them each filled a glass.

Putting down the wine bottle, Zhao Qiang continued: "Although you don't know why you were promoted now, there must be nobles to help, that's right." Judging from the current situation, Secretary Leng of the county party committee supports you, and this is a very rare opportunity. I usually work in the government building, and I can listen to some things in the compound, this cold secretary is not simple. Don't look at it as a woman, and she is young, this level is not comparable to ordinary people, just Qiao Cheng, who is an old and treacherous person, still makes people retreat. It's time for you to catch up, which is not only your glory, but also the glory of these officials in our Shuangsheng Township. Come, celebrate. After touching the other party, Zhao Qiang drank it directly.

Li Xiaohe also hurriedly drank a glass of wine.

In this way, Li and Zhao pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and drank them, and the drink was not lively.

The hot dishes were soon piled up on the table, and the cold dishes and side dishes had to be put on the kang.

The progress of the two drinking is also very fast, a glass of white wine has been dried, and the second glass has been drunk.

His face was already slightly red, and Zhao Qiang's words were more: "Brother." To be honest, your promotion this time is really unexpected, I didn't expect it to be you, and I didn't expect it to be promoted so quickly. Needless to say, this master is really high, and his energy should not be underestimated, and he must have discovered your abilities. But people haven't shown up, it's hard to guess, maybe when the time comes, people will show up, maybe people aren't ready to show up.

The apprentice leads the door, the cultivation is personal, and the next thing is up to you. When you were sent to the township, who would have thought that this would happen a year later? I didn't expect it anyway. At that time, I was not optimistic about you, but I didn't hit you, in fact, I just left you to fend for yourself. At that time, you seemed to me to be an ugly duckling. No, the ugly duckling may become a swan, you don't look like it at all, it's more like ......" Zhao Qiang ran out of suitable words for a while.

"Dry-fried stinky cinnamon fish." Liu Xiaojuan had a good voice and sent the dishes at the right time.

"Yes, at that time, just like this stinky osmanthus fish and salted fish, people were not optimistic about you, they all hid from you, and felt that your future was bleak. But now it turns out that I and everyone are wrong, even if you were really a salted fish at the time, now the salted fish has turned over. As he spoke, Zhao Qiang raised his glass again.

Salted fish turned over? Not bad, very vivid. So Li Xiaohe bumped into each other and chattered: "The salted fish is about to turn over." ”
