Chapter 1042

Actually, Old Zhu and the others have been retired for many years, and their health does not allow them to work anymore.

But... the tiger father has no dog sons, and the descendants have also made great achievements in different fields.

It's a coincidence, Old Yang's son led troops, and the one being cared for by Secretary Wang was once under the other's command, and by chance went up the mountain and had the honor of seeing him once.

Honestly, if it were an ordinary person, that meeting would have been the end of it. After so many years, it's estimated that the person wouldn't be able to recognize him clearly at all.

But...

The leader is the leader because he can remember everything he should remember!

The one chewing pork cracklings "crunchily" in front of him is none other than the much older Old Yang?!

He would never recognize the wrong person!

No wonder the fire and armed police came—no, that still doesn't have anything to do with them!

And even if there were arrangements, there's no way to bypass him to do things. There's no such rule!

Those few coughs were truly heart-wrenching, and the known conditions were pitifully few. But in the coughing, the leader's brain was still turning fast, and at this moment, he had quickly grasped the core—

A large family farm, hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

He couldn't help but feel happy—although those who do practical things won't openly ask for credit, he, a strong-willed practical person, also hopes that the higher-ups can see his efforts.

Not to mention anything else, is the newly paved asphalt road easy to use, old leaders?

The leader's coughing gradually stopped, and Secretary Wang, who was like an ant on a hot pot on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a deep worry—

What's going on? How could he fail to grasp the leader's needs just a moment ago?!

He looked at the group of fire and armed police on the side, then looked at the group of old and young behind him, and then looked at the smiling leader—

Hey, this expression only appears when the leader makes major decisions!

But what major decision can there be just by eating a piece of pork crackling? It can't be splitting sweet and salty!

Just as he was pondering this, he saw the leader suddenly take a step around him, and finally came to the group of old and young with a smile, his voice low and soft, as if afraid of scaring people:

"Old Yang, I really didn't expect to run into you here—"

Old Yang was enjoying the taste of the last piece of pork crackling by himself, when suddenly a stranger stood in front of him, but it felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

So much so that he was stunned: "You are..."

"You forgot," the leader's expression at this moment was very much like a nervous and close distant nephew: "I'm Little Cong, I once had the honor of going up the mountain with your family's Leader Yang..."

That posture, even Secretary Wang felt inferior!

Let's just say, with the leader's current status, how can he put down his status so easily and naturally!

"Oh oh oh!" Old Yang remembered.

Politics is deep. Since his son could bring people up the mountain, it proves they are his own people, so Old Yang relaxed a lot:

"Cong Yun, right? I remember you—how did you come here? And..."

Old Yang keenly looked around, convinced that he had only come alone with the secretary beside him, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Still hiding your identity?"

The leader laughed: "At the beginning of the year, Wang Qing beside me accidentally bought some tea, which far exceeded all varieties in Ning Province, and even had its own characteristics compared to the top ten famous teas."

"You also know that Ning Province doesn't have any pillar industries. Now that there is such an excellent economic crop by accident, I have paid more attention to it later..."

He seemed embarrassed: "I have been here once before, but at that time I was afraid that the information from below was not clear enough, so I came secretly."

"This family thought I was doing municipal procurement, so they invited us along this time, and I thickened my face and came again."

"Good, good, good!" Old Yang was beaming, and at this moment, he became proud in front of the other few old men!

Look, your sons don't have this fate, right?

Look, the former subordinate of my son is a local parent official, but he can see people's livelihood from small things, and is willing to come and inspect in person, not doing those vain things... he is indeed a practical person!

Face-saving, really face-saving!

He then also enthusiastically said: "Well done! Take a good look and see if you can learn to promote it. If it really doesn't work, don't hurt the farmers' hearts."

"Any results? Come up the mountain for a cup of tea during the New Year and tell me slowly."

The leader was instantly overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the aunt and the eldest sister rush into the living room:

"Are you all done eating?"

If they were done eating, they would have to work. At this moment, the two of them were nimble, collecting plates and wiping tables, and even the vases on the table had to be rearranged, what a solemn appearance!

The chatterbox Zhu Xin finally had nothing to block his mouth, and hurriedly asked: "Aunt, I'll clean up, I'll clean up... when will the pork outside be cleaned up? You go be busy with that, we're not in a hurry here."

The eldest sister didn't know there were young guys like rooks in the world. Seeing them being sent into the living room, she thought they were Song Tan's friends, so she said happily:

"Wait a while, our city's leaders are coming. Someone called in advance to arrange it, telling us to tidy up decently, and there will be media taking pictures..."

Although there were many people holding phones and cameras in the courtyard, using such an official term as "media taking pictures," and following the city leaders, maybe they could see themselves on the local TV station in Ning Province?!

The eldest sister was very excited inside.

You know, as a wholesaler who earns hard money, her ultimate requirement for her son is to hope that Zhang Yanping can pass the civil service exam for an iron rice bowl!

Now that the leader has come in person, although passing the exam doesn't add points, she still can't help but be excited!

Fortunately, Zhu Xin is a down-to-earth young guy.

So what if he's excited to see local officials? He was even excited when he stood on stage to receive an award for meritorious service, it's just human nature!

Think about it carefully, if their city leader came to his house, his parents would definitely enlarge the group photo and hang it in the living room to be satisfied.

The focus of the problem at this moment is another thing:

"Then is your city leader a good person?"

The eldest sister thought for a while: "It's okay... I heard there are many rules. The signs of our wholesale market have all been changed to unified ones."

"Ah?" Taking advantage of the fact that no one had come yet, Zhu Xin boldly acted as a foil: "Then will this business environment be too rigid? Does it affect business?"

The eldest sister wiped the tea table in the living room clean, and at this moment couldn't help but laugh: "You young people talk about business environment, we just talk about practicality—people who buy things won't stop coming just because the signs are unified."

"But before the wholesale market was rectified, cars were driving around in a mess, and the road was full of potholes and broken, now it's all leveled, and many young people like to come and shop during the holidays, and business is better than before."
