Standing outside the door were Hao Desheng and his secretary, who came from the provincial capital to the county seat to purchase solid wood furniture and "by the way" urged Zhang Liping to report to the Provincial Sports Commission.

The secretary also carried a few beautifully packaged gifts.

Behind them, a group of children next door were curiously looking at and talking about the aliens.

This is the unique landscape of a small county:

On weekdays, there are few people in the family area, so no matter what time it is, occasionally a large group of children will gather around when a guest comes.

Sometimes, even the adults in the neighborhood will stand in the distance in twos and threes, pointing at the living, discussing and speculating.

"Excuse me, ——? you are"

Walking to the door and looking at the two uninvited guests standing outside, Zhang Xueru asked a little blankly.

"Oh, excuse me, you are Zhang Liping's father, Zhang Shifu, right? We are from the provincial capital. This is Director Hao of the General Office of the Provincial and Urban Government. I'm secretary Xiaohua. ”

The secretary greeted Zhang Xueru warmly and took the initiative to introduce his and Hao Desheng's identities.

"Oh, Director Hao? Quick, please sit in the room! ”

After listening to the secretary's introduction, Zhang Xueru's eyes suddenly widened, and it took him a long time to react, and he hurriedly turned sideways to give guests to the house.

"Zhang Shifu, everything is okay at home?"

After Hao Desheng entered the door, he thought that Zhang Xueru might become Vice Mayor Wang's in-laws in the future, so he said very modestly:

"You can just call me Lao Hao."

"Okay, okay, thanks to you, everything is fine in my family."

Although Zhang Xueru didn't know anything about the intentions of Hao Desheng and Secretary Xiaohua, he knew that he couldn't treat guests slowly, especially those from the provincial capital, so he hurriedly said to his wife:

"Quick, baby, mother, make tea for the guests."

Hao Desheng looked at the house that Zhang Xueru's wife had packed up in a hurry:

There are only a few old beds, old tables, and old wooden stools in the room, all of which are broken furniture that has not been painted, and even the old ceramic teapots and teacups are very incomplete.

Except for a few stools around the dining table, there was a bit of space, and the rest of the place, here and there, was full of clutter, making the whole room look crowded.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hao Desheng really couldn't believe that in such a dilapidated house, old furniture, and small ugly room, he would be able to produce a big beauty who captivated the country and the city!?

"Director Hao, my family is too cold, you, don't laugh, I really wronged you when I came to my house."

Zhang Xueru grabbed a little grandson's clothes and wiped the bench, and then asked Director Hao to sit down with a look of urgency.

It can be seen that there is still doubt in his eyes, and he can't figure out why he is in his broken house, why he came to the provincial capital today.

Hao Desheng was about to sit down on the stool, when he suddenly saw a few small cracks on the stool!

To sit, or not to sit?

Hao Desheng hesitated slightly.

But he quickly remembered the purpose of coming to Zhang's house today, the pursuit of Mengdu and Vice Mayor Wang's trust in him.

Mind you, this is a master you can't afford to slack off!

Sit down, at most you'll get a pair of pants dirty, why don't you just go back and wash them?

Hao Desheng immediately waved his hand to the secretary to sit down, and he was the first to take a seat.

After sitting down, Hao Desheng put his hands on the edge of the table, and then asked with a smile:

"Zhang Shifu, your health is good, right?"

Hao Desheng's words were easy-going, but the posture of the official was there, which made people have to be in awe.

Zhang Xueru had never seen such a big official in his life, and he felt at a loss at this time, he bent his back slightly, kept nodding his head, and said humbly:

"Don't dare, Director Hao, you call me Lao Zhang. This is my wife. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his wife, who had just brought the tea.

Hao Desheng smiled and nodded, took out a "Zhonghua" brand cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Zhang Xueru, and said:

"Zhang Shifu, I want to congratulate your old man!"

Hershey? Where does the joy come from?

Zhang Xueru looked at Director Hao blankly, and didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Xueru said vaguely with some perfunctory:

That is, now that the standard of living has improved, there are indeed many happy events for the people. You see, even an official as big as Director Hao deigned to come to my house today, this is really a great joy! ”

Why, he didn't know about his daughter's transfer to the provincial capital?

Listening to Zhang Xueru's answer, Director Hao immediately sensed that there might be a problem here, and immediately asked:

"Zhang Shifu, your daughter has been transferred to the Provincial Sports Commission's physical work brigade, isn't this a big event?"

"Huh——? What do you say? My daughter is transferred to the Provincial Sports Committee and the Sports Work Brigade? ”

Zhang Xueru opened his mouth wide, and asked for a long time:

"W-When was this?"

Well, it seems that he really doesn't know!

Director Hao saw that Lao Zhang's demeanor did not seem to be pretending, so he briefly introduced the fact that after Zhang Liping participated in the national diving competition in the province last time and won the grand prize, the Provincial Sports Commission decided to transfer her to the sports brigade, and at the same time, he also "incidentally" revealed some of the "work" he helped to do to Lao Zhang without a trace.

Haha, Liping's ghost girl is going to be transferred to the Provincial Sports Commission???

This is really a great thing for my Zhang family!

Old man Zhang suddenly became excited.

No wonder someone outside talked about it a few days ago, saying that his second daughter Liping was going to be transferred to the province! But Lao Zhang couldn't believe it, and asked Liping several times, and Liping said that she was not looking for anything. Now it seems that she is deliberately hiding from the two of us, and will only surprise us when the time comes!

"This girl, after coming back from the competition, she only brought some prizes and didn't say anything else."

Now, after verifying the news of his daughter's transfer to the Provincial Sports Brigade from Hao Desheng's mouth, Zhang Xueru said to Director Hao with a smile on his face:

"Oh, Director Hao, thanks to your help!"

Naturally, Old Man Zhang didn't know at all that in order to go to the Provincial Sports Brigade, his daughter and Li Gang had been together for more than half a month and refused to go alone.

At this moment, in order to connect and deepen the relationship, Hao Desheng struck while the iron was hot, and said in a mysterious tone:

"I'm afraid there is more than this happy event, maybe, into the provincial capital, if the child of any leader takes a fancy to her, your old man will be happy in the future!"

"Really? Will there be such a good thing? If any of the leaders' children really fancy her, we really have to thank God! ”

Zhang Xueru looked at Hao Desheng in disbelief, but at the same time, he seemed to feel that there was something in what Director Hao had just said.

"Ho-ho, I mean maybe. But now what is possible. I've just heard people say that one of the mayor's children has taken a fancy to your daughter. ”

Hao Desheng smiled implicitly.

Ah——, is there really such a good thing?

That dead girl, wow, she has a great good thing and still hides it from her parents!

Zhang Xueru clenched his fists in surprise, and looked at Hao Desheng with a smirk.

But in my heart I dreamed:

If Liping really gets along with the mayor's son, then our Zhang family will be out!

At that time, in order to give birth to Liping, I was punished again and again, fined, and revoked from the cadre training object, and so on.

"Director Hao, is what you just said true? Which mayor's child did my Liping really get along? ”

At this time, although Zhang Xueru was very eager for Hao Desheng's "heard" to be a true fact, he still couldn't believe that pie would fall from the sky, and he couldn't believe that the pie falling from the sky would hit his head, so he couldn't help but stare at Director Hao and ask again.

"Ahem, young people now, what can't happen? You should quickly ask your daughter to report to the province. In my opinion, maybe one day the children will invite your second elder to drink a wedding wine, and you will know which one is your son-in-law! ”

Hao Desheng joked.

After speaking, he stood up steadily, patted his ass lightly, and said:

"Zhang Shifu, I have to go to the county to do something else, so I won't delay you. We'll see you another day. It's just that you have to remember that you have to ask your daughter to go to work in the province early. I heard that the Provincial Sports Commission is waiting for her to report! At the same time, when you go to the provincial capital, you are also welcome to visit my home! ”

Hao Desheng said to Zhang Xueru with a smile.

"Hey, hey."

Zhang Xueru saw Hao Desheng get up, and also got up and said:

"Director Hao, are you leaving? You see, you haven't even taken a sip of tea! However, my tea is not as good as the one in your city. Look, are you going to have a light meal at my house tonight? ”

"You're welcome, Zhang Shifu, we will have more opportunities to meet in the future! There are also plenty of opportunities to eat! I won't bother today. Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law. ”

When Director Hao was leaving, he didn't forget to say hello to Zhang Xueru's wife, and then went out politely.

To be honest, let alone eating, less than half an hour after sitting down just now, Hao Desheng picked up flies at least a dozen times with his hands, which is why he didn't drink tea.

Of course, he is a very well-cultivated person, and this inner thought of disliking the environment in the house is impossible for others to detect.

Zhang Xueru knew that his family was shabby, and it was impossible to invite Director Hao and his secretary to eat at home.

Well, since you can't keep guests, find a way to be a guest!

At this time, Zhang Xueru remembered the invitation that Director Hao had just said, "You are also welcome to come to my house as a guest".

For Liping's future future, especially in order to implement what Director Hao said just now, which mayor's child took a fancy to Liping's great news, for a while, he borrowed guts and courage from somewhere, and actually chased out the door and said to Hao Desheng:

"Director Hao, can you leave me a home address and phone number for ——,?"

Zhang Xueru thought to himself, listening to Director Hao's evaluation of Liping just now, it seems that he has a very good impression of Liping!

As for whether Director Hao said that the mayor's son will take a fancy to Liping, that matter is not concerned for the time being. If-if the director's family has a son, if his son can take a fancy to Liping, then it can be regarded as the blessing of the Zhang family!

"No problem, Xiaohua, you give me a business card to Master Zhang."

Director Hao immediately instructed the secretary briskly.

Secretary Xiaohua immediately took Zhang Hao Desheng's business card from his backpack and handed it to Zhang Xueru.

"Oh, thank you, thank you!"

Zhang Xueru respectfully took Hao Desheng's business card handed by Xiaohua, thinking:

That's a good sign!

"Director Hao, please wait a moment."

After Zhang Xueru got Hao Desheng's business card, he was so happy that he danced a little happily.

He stretched out his hand to stop Director Hao and the secretary, turned to his wife and ordered:

"Ping's mother, hurry, you go and bring the 'Furong King' cigarette sent by Lianfu."

"Okay, please wait."

The wife ran into the back room tremblingly, hurriedly opened a box, and took out a "Furong King" cigarette from under the box, which was sent by the eldest son-in-law Chen Lianfu last month to honor his father-in-law.

"Zhang Shifu, you're welcome, I'm not a smoker."

Director Hao smiled and waved his hand to Lao Zhang, this will, he doesn't think that "Furong King" is not high-grade enough, mainly considering that this Zhang Xueru will really become the in-laws of Vice Mayor Wang in the future, and it is too late to give him a gift!

Hao Desheng thanked him again and again, and finally got out and left.

Zhang Xueru sent the guests enthusiastically and loudly all the way, and sent them out more than 100 meters away.

On the way to send off the guests, his eyes quietly looked around, and found that the neighbors were looking at himself and his guests curiously with all kinds of surprise, envy, and scrutiny, and even Yang Shufang, who had always been arrogant, would also stand at the door of her house, secretly looking at Zhang Xueru and the guests of the Zhang family.

Zhang Xueru suddenly felt full of ambition and was full of energy!

Mom, I've had enough of your idleness and bullying on weekdays, and today is a turnaround!

When breaking up with Hao Desheng and his secretary, Zhang Xueru deliberately raised his head and shouted loudly:

"Director Hao, go slowly, come to sit at home next time!"

When he came back from sending off the guests, he saw that Yang Shufang was still visiting, and he shouted loudly into the house:

"Child, mother, hurry up and pack your luggage, tomorrow I will send Liping to the province to report, and I will go to Director Hao's house as a guest!"

That demeanor: triumphant and refreshed - it's really a bit like Lu Xun's description of Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q", just after defeating the little nun, Ah Q held his head high, no one in his eyes, full of pride!
