When I arrived at Deng's house, it was already dark at night, and the villagers who were farming were rushing to their homes. When the villagers saw Lan Xinrui, they all greeted her politely.

"Lan Zhishu, it's so late, why are you still running out?" A woman's voice came from behind.

Lan Xinrui stopped, looked back, and saw that it was the mother-in-law of the old branch secretary Deng Biao, and couldn't help but be happy: "Aunt Deng Biao, I'm rushing to your house, the old branch secretary is at home?" ”

"He, where can he go if he's not at home?" Aunt Deng Biao picked a load of freshly picked white lotus, and she looked a little lacking in confidence when she spoke.

Lan Xinrui reached out and grabbed her burden: "Aunt Deng Biao, let me come!" ”

Aunt Deng Biao grabbed the burden and didn't let go: "This can't be helped, this can't be helped." ”

Lan Xinrui saw that she couldn't resist her, so she let go and followed closely behind her.

"Lan Zhishu, you are really a good person, our Deng Biao brother made such a big incident, not only did you not pursue it, but also helped so much."

"It's not all your brother Deng Biao, I, the branch secretary, are also responsible."

"What is your responsibility?"

"I didn't do a good job as the branch secretary, and the villagers were still living a tight life."

"The life of the villagers is a little cold, but this is not your fault, in a huge village, even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't control the food, drink and Lazar of thousands of people in the whole village. If you want me to say, you are already qualified enough as a branch secretary, you see, you have only been in office for a few months, and the blade has made our peach blossoms lively and prosperous, and even foreigners have sent us money. I heard Zhonghu say that you also asked the boss Bao to buy 100,000 catties of watermelons at once, which helped the villagers a lot, and the villagers said that you are really the Bodhisattva fairy of our peach blossoms, and you bring good luck to the peach blossoms. ”

"Auntie, look at what you said, am I so godly?"

The two of them talked and went to the door.

Deng Biao, the old branch secretary, was sitting on a bluestone slab in front of his house smoking a cigarette, and next to him stood a fat black wolf dog, with a huge mouth, blue light in his eyes, and barking vigorously with his head held high. Deng Biao picked up a broken brick under his feet and threw it at the wolf dog: "Go, go, don't bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people." ”

The wolf dog was so frightened that it fled far away, smashed the broken brick on the ground and jumped up, and hit the basket on Aunt Shi Biao's shoulder impartially, and landed at Lan Xinrui's feet.

"Dead old man, are you crazy?" Aunt Deng Biao unloaded the basket and said angrily.

Deng Biao hurriedly laughed: "Accident, it's pure coincidence, we didn't expect that this basket would become a substitute for the wolf dog." He bent down, touched the basket with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

"Lan Zhishu sees that you are here." Aunt Shi Biao patted Deng Biao's bare shoulder, and her tone became very soft: "You greet, I'll cook." Lan Zhishu, I'll have dinner at our house in the evening, and I'll get you lotus seed porridge. ”

"No, auntie, I've already eaten it."

Deng Biao raised his head, and the person standing in front of him was really Lan Xinrui, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Why, the old branch secretary is not welcome!" Lan Xinrui smiled faintly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I... I just felt a little surprised. Deng Biao said a little slurred.

Lan Xinrui walked to the stone bench, leaned down and wiped it lightly with her hand, and sat down with a twist of her buttocks: "There is something to discuss with the old branch secretary." ”

"Is that morning?" Deng Biao's face showed embarrassment.

"That's over, don't mention it!"

Deng Biao wondered when he heard it, and muttered in his heart, what kind of medicine is sold in this mother-in-law's gourd, listening to Zhonghu said, he didn't mention anything about making a big fuss about the house when he came to his house at noon, and he sent money, and helped Xiaohu solve the problem of treatment, and bought Zhonghu's watermelon at a high price, which moved Zhonghu so much that he almost called his grandparents, could it be that I was also moved by it tonight. Thinking like this, he really had a good impression of the woman in front of him who was admired by the villagers. He peeked at her a few times, slowly crouched down, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and inhaled it one puff after another.

Lan Xinrui glanced at him a few times, patted the stone bench, and said, "Old branch secretary, sit here, it's very tiring to squat." ”

Deng Biao moved his gaze to her and said, "No, squatting is more accustomed and comfortable than sitting." After a moment's hesitation, he said, "What's the matter with me?" Let's get straight ahead! ”

Lan Xinrui cleared her throat lightly, sighed again, and said, "The sky does not live up to the peach blossoms, but it is a pity that the peach blossom people themselves have lost themselves." ”

Deng Biao heard it quite vaguely, blinked his eyes and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"In terms of natural conditions, peach blossoms have unique advantages, strange mountains, strange waters, strange stones, strange caves, strange forests, strange dwellings, as well as high-quality agricultural and sideline products, all of which are God's gifts to the peach blossom people. It is a pity that we did not seize these advantages to promote the development of Peach Blossom, so that Peach Blossom is still very backward, and the life of Peach Blossom people has not even been solved. ”

Deng Biao drooped his head and blamed himself from time to time: "I'm so sorry for the old folks of Peach Blossom, if I could be like you, ten years ago to attract foreign investment to develop Peach Blossom's tourism resources, how could Peach Blossom fall into such a backward situation today, maybe it has already become a rich star in the county and even the whole country." ”

"Old branch secretary, don't blame yourself too much, can you blame you, you haven't caught up with the good era of tourism development, if you do, you will also lead the peach blossom people to take the road of tourism to strengthen the village and enrich the people."

"Old man, I can't do anything to catch up with you young people!"

"You don't look old at all, in fact, you are in the prime of your career."

"Don't exalt me, even if I want to do it, no one can ask me."

"You're too humble, it's not that no one wants you, but that people want you, I'm afraid you won't agree."

"As long as it's for our peach blossoms, whoever wants me, I have no reason to refuse."

"If I wanted you, would you refuse?"

Deng Biao sneered: "Are you kidding, can you want a half-old man like me?" ”

"What I'm missing is a half-old man like you."

"That..." Deng Biao scratched his head, stunned for a long time, and said, "I... I don't believe it. ”

Seeing that the time had come, Lan Xinrui got up slowly, took out the letter of appointment from his pocket, handed it to Deng Biao, and announced solemnly: "On behalf of the company, I would like to announce the appointment of Comrade Deng Biao as the president of the Peach Blossom Tourism Development Company's Special Agricultural Products Association. ”

Deng Biao didn't believe his hearing, and looked at the letter of appointment over and over again through the faint light in the room, and said with a smile: "Thank you for trusting me, but this burden is very heavy, and if you hand it over to me, I'm afraid it will disappoint you." ”

"I can't find a better fit than you. The old branch secretary, for the sake of peach blossoms, for the peach blossom agricultural products to rise to tourism products, to promote the synchronous development of peach blossom agriculture and tourism, and to improve the living standards of villagers, please accept the company's invitation. Lan Xinrui looked at Deng Biao with a begging gaze.

Deng Biao kept rubbing his hands and muttered: "That, then I, I'll try it!" ”

Aunt Shi Biao came out of the house with a grin, walked straight to Deng Biao's side, pointed at him, and said sharply: "Try? You still squatted in the pit before and didn't, this time you didn't have to try, you have to work hard to make some achievements, otherwise how can you be worthy of the trust of the blue branch secretary in you, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of Peach Blossom Village? He turned to Lan Xinrui, and his tone softened, "Lan Zhishu, don't worry, if he doesn't do something serious for Peach Blossom, I will never spare him." Let's go, go into the house, and drink some lotus seed porridge. ”

"Auntie, thank you, I've eaten, you can eat!" Lan Xinrui held her hand and said earnestly: "The old branch secretary is at work, and the work in this house will tire you!" ”

"It's okay, as long as he does more good deeds for Peach Blossom, it's a pity that I'm tired."

Deng Biao was full of gratitude, stepped forward, held Lan Xinrui's hand tightly, shook his head, and sighed: "Alas, Mr. Lan, don't say anything, from today onwards, I will listen to you, what you say, let's do anything, never say anything." ”

"Thank you, old branch secretary, you will go to work in the company tomorrow, and the office will still be your original one. Okay, you eat, I'm leaving. She beckoned to Aunt Deng Biao, turned around and left.

"Lan Zhishu, walk slowly, be careful on the road." Aunt Deng Biao greeted politely.

Deng Biao didn't say a word, and watched Lan Xinrui leave. When her figure completely disappeared into the night, he sighed and said to himself: "Hey, this girl, a good person!" measured, courageous, and kind-hearted, but he is my nemesis Deng Biao! ”

Aunt Deng Biao glared at him: "The Lan branch secretary of the family not only arranges your work but also gives you an official position, I warn you, in the future, you have to support her work with your heart and lungs, if you do something unfavorable to her again, see how anxious I am with you." ”

Deng Biao glanced at her: "You stinky, why do you always turn your elbows out!" So saying, he went back to the house with his hands behind his back.
