On New Year's Day, Xiao Zhengping used Wang Peng's car to do several things, one was to take Xiao Xiuye home on vacation, the second was to send Xu Xiaohui to the county seat, and the third was to send the first batch of bamboo shoots to Manager Wu of the state-owned hotel.

In the car, Xiao Zhengping said that he wanted him to transfer to the deer farm, and to Xiao Zhengping's surprise, Wang Peng agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh, Brother Pingzi, in fact, I thought so a long time ago, I wanted to tell you when you ran the contracting procedures, but I was worried about the appearance of the deer farm, and you refused to agree, so I never said it." Wang Peng said.

"If you really want to come, I can't be happy, why don't you agree! It's just that I'm worried about your father's side, how can I say that the forest farm is also a state-owned unit, so you don't want to take the national rice bowl, come to serve my small unit's rice bowl, can your father agree? ”

Wang Peng was silent for a while, "It must be a little difficult for you to let him accept it now, but I believe that my father will understand in a few years." ”

Xiao Zhengping wondered, "You are quite confident, so why can your father understand?" ”

Wang Peng glanced at Xiao Zhengping, "If others can't see it, you can't see it?!" Sooner or later, the forest farm will collapse, and it would be better to follow you now than to wait until that time to find a way out? ”

Xiao Zhengping laughed, patted Wang Peng's back and smiled: "You kid is very discerning!" Okay, I'll follow my brother in the future, and when the time comes, I'll ask Director Zhu and get you a compilation. Although collective units are not as good as state-run units, they are still public jobs. ”

After the agreement, Wang Peng asked Xiao Zhengping not to tell his father for the time being, saying that he was driving anyway, or driving in one direction, as long as the two of them didn't say anything, his father wouldn't know, he said that he wanted to give his father a little buffer time.

Regarding Wang Peng's request, Xiao Zhengping was noncommittal, and of course he did not refuse.

......

New Year's Day, for native-born rural people, nothing special, compared with the New Year, New Year's Day is like a festival that the country has forced on.

However, for Xiao Zhengping in the 21st century and Xiao Xiuye, who has been educated in school for many years, New Year's Day means a three-day holiday, which is a very important festival in the year for modern people.

In the entire Hejia Mountain, only the Xiao family celebrated this festival a little grandly, Xiao Zhengping and Jia Hongyue bought a large table of dishes, put on wine, and put on the orange-flavored soda that the supply and marketing cooperatives had only recently delivered.

After Jia Hongyue finished serving the last dish, Dai Xuemei began to greet her to eat, and after a while, the family sat neatly at the big round table.

Xiao Zhengping poured a full bottle of wine for the adults, poured soda for Xiao Xiuye and Xiao Liangqiang, and then raised his glass and said: "This year's New Year's Day is different from usual, today is 1984, this year Ye'er will take the college entrance examination, and our Qiangqiang will also enter primary school. ”

After that, Xiao Zhengping drank all the wine in the cup, then sat down and continued: "This year, our focus is on Ye'er, and we will provide Ye'er with the best learning environment with the strength of the whole family." But Ye'er, don't have too much pressure, treat it with a normal heart, as long as you work hard and take it seriously, the results of the exam are not so important. ”

Xiao Xiuye nodded, "Brother, thank you, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Xiao Zhengping frowned, waved at Xiao Xiuye, and said, "Ye'er, you can't think like this. You have nothing to disappoint your brother, even if you say now that you don't want to continue studying and don't want to take the college entrance examination, your brother will not be disappointed. You have to live for yourself, you should study for yourself, your efforts should be for yourself, not for anyone else, you know? ”

Xiao Xiuye seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and looked at Xiao Zhengping in a daze for a while, and then nodded, "I~~ I understand." ”

The day after the New Year's Day, a small word spread on the hill that the long-awaited merger of teams and villages will be implemented this year, and after the implementation is completed, only one village department will be set up on Hejia Mountain, and all other institutions will be removed.

It is rumored that there are only four positions in the village department - secretary, director, accountant, and women's director, and all other positions such as deputy party secretary and production team leader have been abolished. In addition, the original standing committee was changed to the village committee, and the original branch committee was also changed to the villagers' representatives, and the standing committee members of the villagers' committees and the villagers' representatives were elected. Of course, supply and marketing cooperatives, health stations, and schools were all transferred to the village committee for management.

The details of the grapevine can be so full, Xiao Zhengping judged that this news must come from someone with an "insider", that is to say, this news is not just news, there should be a mature plan.

But in the end, this news has nothing to do with Xiao Zhengping, he still has such a big mess of things, and he can't think about these things, not to mention that Xiao Zhengping is very sure that as long as this matter has a little bit of signs, Zou Shusheng will definitely come to him.

After the New Year's Day, Xiao Zhengping asked Chen Yan to send Xiuye back to school, and he took Dai Xuemei to the county seat by shuttle.

As soon as they got out of the car, Xiao Zhengping and his family went straight to the state-run hotel.

Wu Xiangyang is still always enthusiastic, in addition to the three dishes ordered by Xiao Zhengping, he strongly asked to give Xiao Zhengping another free dish.

Xiao Zhengping was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Manager Wu, you don't need to spend so much, is it possible that you are still afraid that I will not come to you for dinner in the future?" ”

"What's the matter, don't I like your joy, brother, saying that if you send bamboo shoots, you will send five hundred catties of bamboo shoots, you look at my restaurant, is there a lot more customers than usual? Let me tell you, at least half of the tables have your bamboo shoots. ”

"Huh, really? It's nothing, everyone does business together, and everyone makes money together. ”

"That is, my brother is a bright person, and he is also doing a bright thing, don't worry, I will help you vigorously publicize it, and I promise to help you win a good reputation."

"Thank you so much Manager Wu. Hey, by the way, how are the sales of alcohol? Do you want me to pull you some more? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiangyang's face immediately changed slightly, and his eyes were also deliberately avoiding Xiao Zhengping's eyes, "Uh~~ That wine doesn't seem to be very popular, and it hasn't sold much." ”

Xiao Zhengping had expected this result, but the change in Wu Xiangyang's application attracted his attention, "It must be difficult at first, but after a long time, everyone will know that it is a good thing." While speaking, Xiao Zhengping deliberately looked at the counter of the hotel, but did not see any shadow of deer antler wine, so he asked, "Isn't anyone willing to drink bulk wine?" ”

This time, Wu Xiangyang did not answer, but directly excused himself to entertain other guests, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

During the meal, Xiao Zheng usually looked at other tables from time to time, as well as the corners of the restaurant, but never saw the antler wine. Taking advantage of Wu Xiangyang's absence, Xiao Zhengping secretly called the waiter up and asked what kind of wine there was, and the waiter reported all kinds of wine, and there was no deer antler wine among them.

In the end, Xiao Zhengping and Dai Xuemei looked at each other, said goodbye and left after dinner.

In the evening, Xiao Zhengping settled Dai Xuemei in the guest house, and then went to the coal machine community alone.

After entering the community, Xiao Zhengping first looked outside to see if there were any lights, and then came to the door of Zhang Erzhuan's rental and knocked on the door.

Like last time, a frightened voice came from inside, asking who it was.

Xiao Zhengping replied: "I, Xiao Zhengping!" ”

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps, and then at the moment when Zhang Erzhuan opened the door, Xiao Zhengping pulled the door open, and almost knocked down Zhang Ershuo, who was still holding the doorknob, and then got into it in a flash.
