Xiao Fei heard Xia Ying ask when the meal could start, so he pointed to the kitchen behind him with his finger and said with a smile: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." All the dishes have been stir-fried and stewed, and the rice is cooked, just waiting for the guests to arrive. Why don't you go to the kitchen and try my handiwork! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the raffite in Xia Ying's hand, put it on the dining table, and then led her into the kitchen.

At this time, Xiao Fei's steamed "taro pork ribs" had just been unveiled and placed on the stove, emitting bursts of sweet fragrance, which caused Xia Ying to sniff greedily with her nose, and said again and again in her mouth: "Fragrant, really fragrant!" What kind of dish is this? Why is it so sweet? ”

Xiao Fei proudly brought her to the pot of taro pork ribs, picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a piece of pork ribs from the pot and gave it to her. Xia Ying put the ribs in her mouth, chewed them carefully, and then gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Wow, this taste is amazing, fragrant, sweet and smooth, there is a melt-in-your-mouth feeling, awesome!" ”

Then, she swallowed the pork ribs in one gulp, and couldn't wait to take out a piece from the pot and put it in her mouth, chewing the body odor while continuing to praise vaguely: "Xiao Xiaozi, your cooking level is really not bragging, this is the sweetest pork ribs I have ever tasted." No, I'll have to try something else! ”

Next, she began to try the taste of "chopped pepper fish head", "large slices of beef", "stir-fried meat with green peppers", and "seaweed egg soup......

Just when she was feasting, there was a sudden knock on the door, Xiao Fei smiled and said: "Political Commissar Xia, my guest is here, I suggest that you wipe the oil and water from the corner of your mouth first, so as not to be said by the guest that you are a good person." Hahaha! ”

Xia Ying glared at him, and while hurriedly pulling a tissue to wipe her mouth, she shook her hand and said, "Don't open the door first, I have to tidy up these dishes, so as not to be seen by your guests, I tasted them first." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks and carefully smoothed the dishes she had eaten in the bowl, looking as if she hadn't moved, Xiao Fei almost laughed out loud, thinking that this beautiful female political commissar usually looks cold and reserved, but she didn't expect her words and deeds to be like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, which is really incredible......

Xiao Fei walked to the living room, opened the door, and saw Zhou Chengjie standing at the door a little uneasy, although there was a smile on his face, this smile looked stiff.

Xiao Fei hurriedly found him a pair of slippers and invited him into the living room. At this time, Xia Ying also dealt with the "remaining problems" in the kitchen, walked back to the living room, and saw Zhou Chengjie standing face to face with Xiao Fei, her face sank suddenly, and she asked Xiao Fei with a straight face: "Little Xiaozi, what do you mean?" Why did you invite him? You've learned to curry favor now, haven't you? No wonder I asked you who your guest was just now, and you kept being vague, it turns out that you are acting together! ”

Zhou Chengjie saw Xiao Fei scratching his scalp in embarrassment, blushing and unable to answer, so he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Xiao Ying, don't misunderstand Xiao Xiao, I took the initiative to come to his house for dinner, and by the way, I asked him to invite you to dinner together." You may not know: Xiao Xiao's father was my old platoon commander when I was in the army, he saved my life on the battlefield, and he is the son of my life-saving benefactor.

"Today I happened to go to Xiao Xiao's village to inspect the work, and when the two of them chatted after meeting Xiao Xiao, they learned that he was the descendant of my benefactor, so I decided to come to his house for a meal and talk to him about his father and his family. As for him not telling you that I will come to dinner first, I also told him, because I am afraid that you will not come to eat when you learn that I will come. The responsibility for this concealment lies with me, don't blame him! ”

Xia Ying couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard Zhou Chengjie say that Xiao Fei was his life-saving benefactor and the son of the old platoon leader, she looked Xiao Fei up and down a few times, the look on her face eased a little, but she was still a little angry, and said to Zhou Chengjie: "Didn't I tell you last time?" I don't want to see you again in the future, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, and you agreed at the time, why did you go back on your word? ”

Zhou Chengjie showed a painful expression on his face, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Xiaoying, don't you want to be like this, okay?" In front of Xiao Xiao, there are some things I can't say, and I will explain them to you well in the future. Now let's not talk about these things, let's have a meal and a few drinks together, shall we? ”

When Xiao Fei heard his pleading tone, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: What the hell is going on? Could it be that Xia Ying was not willing to be Zhou Chengjie's lover at the beginning? Does she want to leave Zhou Chengjie and live a good life now? If that's the case, what about her divorce from her husband?

Xia Ying saw that Zhou Chengjie said something that was difficult to say in front of Xiao Fei, so she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Fei and said, "Little Xiaozi, you go to the shopping mall downstairs to buy a bottle of Sprite, I don't like to drink pure red wine, it tastes better with a little Sprite." ”

Xiao Fei knew that she wanted to go out and talk to Zhou Chengjie about secret things, so she quickly agreed, then got up and walked out of the room, took the elevator downstairs, and walked to the community supermarket between buildings three and four.

When I walked to the entrance of the second unit of the third building, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me: "Xiao Xiao, why are you here?" Do you also live in this neighborhood? ”

Xiao Fei looked back and saw a middle-aged man walking towards the second unit, and after a careful look, it was Fu Huafeng, the head of the organization department of the county party committee.

Xiao Fei hurriedly smiled: "Hello Minister Fu, I am now living in a friend's house of mine, which is in the fifth building of this community. Do you live here too? ”

Fu Huafeng nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Don't you live in the village today?" Rushing back to something? ”

Xiao Fei didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "Yes, I want to invite a guest to dinner tonight, and I temporarily asked the village for leave, and I will rush back to the village early tomorrow morning." ”

When Fu Huafeng heard him say, "I want to invite a guest to dinner", his heart couldn't help jumping, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Fei thoughtfully, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Xiao, take the liberty of asking: Is the guest you invited tonight Secretary Zhou?" ”

Fu Huafeng's question is indeed presumptuous, but there is a reason for it.

It turned out that Luo Guichang, secretary of the county party committee, instructed the county party committee office to book the largest box in the Qingyuan Hotel, and notified all members of the standing committee of the county party committee, the director of the people's congress, and the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to go to the box at half past five to greet Secretary Zhou, and prepare to hold a grand dinner to welcome Secretary Zhou to Qingyuan to inspect and investigate the work.

However, after Secretary Zhou entered the hotel, he told Luo Guichang, Fu Huafeng and other people accompanying the inspection: He had an important guest for dinner tonight, so he could not attend the welcome dinner held by the county party committee.
