Shen Youbin smiled a little smugly when he saw Ye Ming's surprised look, pulled him aside, and asked quietly, "Xiao Ye, how do you feel about the decoration of this house?" Satisfied! ”

It turned out that in order to decorate Ye Ming's house before Secretary Lu arrived, Shen Youbin assigned the director of the county party committee office to sit in Donggang Village, and mobilized three construction teams, divided into exterior wall group, interior wall group, ground group, and cleaning group, and worked overtime day and night, and it only took five days to renovate the house.

Ye Ming couldn't help but admire Shen Youbin's efficiency at this time, nodded and said, "Secretary Shen, from the outside, this decoration is very good: high-end atmosphere, beautiful but not luxurious, but I don't know how it is inside." ”

Shen Youbin said with confidence: "The inside is more beautiful than the outside, and all the furniture is the latest one." I just went in to see it, and it was very neatly furnished, and there was no smell of new decoration - I repeatedly explained this to the decoration team. If you leave a pungent smell during the renovation, the decoration will be in vain and will be counterproductive. ”

Next, Xu Lizhong, Wei Zhong, Shen Youbin and the relevant security personnel of the Xinleng County Public Security Bureau held a short meeting in the hall of Ye Ming's house to make arrangements for the security work during Secretary Lu's inspection.

Although Ye Ming did not participate in the security work, because Secretary Lu lived in his house, and Wei Zhong heard Xu Lizhong say that Ye Ming had super good kung fu, so he took the initiative to invite Ye Ming to attend the security work consultation meeting.

At the meeting, Wei Zhong informed everyone that Secretary Lu set out from the provincial party committee at two o'clock at noon on the Chinese New Year's Eve and arrived at Donggang Village at about five o'clock, where he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the villagers. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Secretary Lu would visit several farmhouses in Donggang Village, watch local folk performances such as dragon dances and "dancing plus officials", and leave Donggang Village after lunch to inspect a poor village in another city.

During the inspection, because it was the Spring Festival, there were not many people accompanying the inspection, only Director Xu Lizhong, Secretary Guo Zhijun, several cadres of the security department, and a few reporters from the provincial television station and the provincial newspaper. As for the local escorts, they will have to wait for Secretary Lu to arrive in Donggang Village, and then make a temporary decision according to the situation......

At the meeting, Tao Yong, on behalf of the Xinleng County Public Security Bureau, said that the county public security bureau will attach great importance to the security work inspected by Secretary Lu, and will be divided into 11 security teams for political work, legal system, public security, criminal investigation, traffic police, command center, national security, police security room, police station and other police types. All departments and groups perform their duties, coordinate and linkage, cooperate tacitly, implement various tasks and measures in place, ensure the absolute safety of Secretary Lu's inspection and inspection activities and the safety and smoothness of the road, and ensure the successful completion of safety and security activities.

On the morning of the next day, Qing Tao, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of K City, took Shen Youbin, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Minister of the Propaganda Department, and Secretary of the Xinleng County Party Committee, and others to Donggang Village to make specific arrangements for the preparation of receiving Secretary Lu's inspection.

Secretary Qing took everyone around Donggang Village, learned in detail about the situation of several poor families, and advised these families: Secretary Lu is likely to come to their home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and when the time comes, everyone must pay attention to what they say, and don't always complain and complain. If you really have any difficulties, you can directly find the county party committee and county government to solve them, and try to put forward specific difficulties and requirements to Secretary Lu as little as possible, so as not to affect Secretary Lu's mood for the New Year......

Next, Secretary Qing also held a meeting in Wantou Town Middle School and made several decisions: first, the K Civil Affairs Bureau allocated money to each household in Donggang Village according to the per capita calculation, and each person issued 200 yuan of New Year's condolences; second, arrange a few guest rooms in Wantou Town Middle School for the entourage and reporters brought by Secretary Lu to stay; Third, the Xinleng County Civil Affairs Bureau will pay for the distribution of 5,000 firecrackers to every household in Donggang Village, which will be set off on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, in an effort to make the atmosphere of the New Year stronger......

That night, Ye Ming slept in his newly renovated house, waiting for the arrival of Secretary Lu the next day.

At about nine o'clock, he received a call from Lu Nianzi. On the phone, Lu Nianzi first asked him about some recent situations, and then told him regretfully: Although she, Zhang Linjiang and Zhang Yan have all arrived in Zinan City, because there is something temporary in their hometown, they can't come to the new cold.

By that, Zhang Yan also called him, wishing him a happy New Year in advance, and said that she couldn't come to Xinleng this time, she felt very sorry, and hoped to have the opportunity to see him next time.

Of course, Ye Ming couldn't have imagined that Lu Nianzi and the others couldn't come to Xinleng, in fact, it wasn't that there was anything wrong, but Secretary Lu resolutely opposed their family coming over for two reasons: first, he went to Donggang Village to inspect as the secretary of the provincial party committee, and if his daughter and son-in-law also followed him there for the New Year, it would leave a handle for people; Second, and the most critical point, Secretary Lu was afraid that Lu Nianzi would reveal some flaws when she was in a relationship with Ye Ming and expose their sister-brother relationship, which would be very difficult to do......

At about five o'clock in the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Secretary Lu arrived at Donggang Village on time with Qingtao, Xu Lizhong, Guo Zhijun, Shen Youbin and other entourages and accompanying personnel.

As soon as he arrived in the village, Secretary Lu didn't have time to take a breath, so he went to several particularly difficult families he learned about last time to offer condolences and send condolences money. After the condolences, he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the last house, and around seven o'clock, he came to Ye Ming's house.

Before entering the house, he took advantage of the hazy skylight to take a closer look at the renovated house, with a relatively satisfied look on his face, and turned to Shen Youbin who was following him and said, "Secretary Shen, trouble your county!" Actually, I haven't been here many times, and you haven't made such a big move. However, this decoration looks quite atmospheric, and it shouldn't be expensive, right? ”

Shen Youbin hurriedly smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, this decoration is very simple and cheap, but it is just a little porcelain plate and tile, a little whitewash, not a few dollars." ”

Secretary Lu nodded, walked into the room, and saw that a steaming Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was already on the table, and Ye Ming was standing there with the girl from the local tax bureau he had seen last time, looking at him a little crampedly.

It turned out that Ye Ming considered that Secretary Lu liked to eat Chen Yi's cooking, and Chen Yi also wanted to celebrate the New Year with him, so he called her over, and the excuse was to invite her to come over to cook for Secretary Lu, so as not to be suspicious of others.

Secretary Lu was worried that Ye Ming would see any flaws, and Chen Yi was present, so this time he didn't show too much enthusiasm, and after drinking a few glasses of wine with Ye Ming, he began to talk to Qing Tao, Shen Youbin and others, and talked about going to bed at one o'clock in the morning.

The next day, Secretary Lu left Donggang Village after lunch.
