Chapter 102: Love on the Eve of the Little New Year (1)
As soon as the power-on ceremony ended, Guo Wei announced the ribbon-cutting for the road.
The road from Chunshan County to Suxi Township had been repaired, and the sand and gravel road surface was wide and flat. The County Highway Bureau invested a large amount of engineering machinery and manpower for this. The road surface was repeatedly rolled by a roller, drainage ditches were dug on the side of the road, and a cement bridge was added next to the small stone bridge entering the township government, and everything presented a scene of prosperity.
As soon as Guo Wei announced, the gong and drum team struck the gongs and drums vigorously. Following the sound of gongs and drums, a passage was made in the crowd. At the end was a brand-new minibus, the front of the car was tied with red silk cloth, a line card written "Chunshan—Suxi" was placed by the front windshield of the car, and Sun Demao, the biggest boss in Suxi Township, stood by the car with a smile, inviting the villagers to get on the car.
I didn't know about this play in advance, so I could only look at Guo Wei blankly.
Guo Wei announced that from today, the passenger transport line from Suxi Township to the county town will be officially opened, ending the era of having cars but no roads, and completely changing the situation of walking instead of cars.
Six primary school students stood at the front of the car, each holding a plate in their hands, with a large red silk flower in each plate, connected by a long silk ribbon, waiting for Secretary He Zhi to cut the ribbon.
The big square was bustling with noise and excitement, laughter continued, and waves of cheers hit the eardrums.
Guo Wei invited Secretary He, Secretary Huang, Secretary Guan, County Magistrate Liu, the County Highway Bureau Chief, and the County Power Supply Bureau Chief to stand in a row, picked up the new scissors in the plate, and cut the silk cloth amidst cheers. Sun Demao's minibus started with a bang, carrying a carload of men, women, and children, and headed toward Chunshan County.
Applause rang out, and another climax surged.
Next was the report performance. Not a single person left the big square in the freezing cold. The villagers automatically formed a circle, using their thin bodies to block the cold wind from invading the leaders sitting in the middle. Some people were already chattering their teeth, but they still insisted on standing into a wall of flesh.
Xue Bing didn't know when she left me and was busy directing the stage performance. In Suxi Township, the only person with artistic cells was her, the music teacher of the middle school.
My hand was pinched. Looking sideways, Pan Xiaoqin was standing beside me, tilting her head and looking at me.
"Your Teacher Xue is so beautiful today." She praised sincerely, her eyes never leaving Xue Bing's busy figure for a moment.
I said, "You are also beautiful today."
Pan Xiaoqin was wearing a black woolen coat that reached her knees, a fluffy scarf around her neck. She changed her past straight hair style, tied her hair into a bun behind her head, tied it with a white gauze scarf, a pair of high-tube leather boots on her feet, and a pair of black fitness pants tightly wrapped around her strong calves. The whole person looked mature and capable, making people look brand new. My heart moved, and I said, "Hmm, like a woman."
She rolled her eyes at me unhappily and said, "When was I not like a woman?"
I laughed and said, "Weren't you small before? Now you've grown up."
She covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Sister-in-law Jin Ling asked me to tell you, you go to her house for the Little New Year's Eve."
I firmly refused and said, "Don't go."
She stared in surprise, looked at me incomprehensibly, and said, "Why don't you go?"
I smiled and said, "Don't go means don't go."
"Then come with me?" She probed and laughed at herself, "How could you come with me? You still have Teacher Xue."
I said, "You know and you still say it."
She puffed her cheeks and said, "With your Teacher Xue, you don't need to eat?"
I looked at her and said, "Little girl, what kind of vinegar are you eating?"
She defended, "I didn't eat vinegar. Why should I eat vinegar? My brother Shurong picked up the children tonight, and my mother is there. We are preparing to spend the Little New Year's Eve together. I saw that you have nowhere to eat, so I kindly asked you to come together."
Once I heard this, my heart moved. This Pan Shurong is not bad, honest and practical. I still have four oil presses sleeping in the auditorium.
"Is there anything delicious?" I pretended to be drooling.
"Of course there is, come if you want." She twisted her body angrily and wanted to leave.
I pulled her hand and said, "Why are you angry? If there is something delicious, of course I will go." I pointed to Xue Bing on the stage and said, "Teacher Xue will go together."
She nodded and turned away.
Xue Bing happened to sing "Good Days." On the stage, she was high-spirited, her eyes flowing, her gestures were like a master. After all, Xue Bing was a professionally trained person, and the song she sang could completely rival Song Zuying.
Although some people blocked the wind for the leaders under the stage, some cadres were still shivering with cold. He Zhi, sitting in the middle, watched the program with great interest, his full beard shaking in his smile.
The big cadres didn't move, and the small cadres could only endure it. Little did they know that He Zhi came from a place of ice and snow, and this little cold wind was just a side dish for drinking.
It was hard to wait until the program was finished. The heads of various bureaus, offices, and committees found Guo Wei one after another to say goodbye, climbed into the car one by one, and refused to come out even if they died.
Guo Wei accompanied Secretary He to the canteen for dinner, and no one left the big square. Zhu Shizhen kept patting the car windows one by one, begging the heads to get off the car.
I waited for Xue Bing to come over, grabbed her hand, and said, "Wife, you are so beautiful."
She smiled shyly and said, "I haven't sung in front of so many people for many years, I didn't sing well."
I laughed "hehe" and said, "Wife, if you are not good, you are not my wife, Chen Feng."
She reached out to hit me shyly, I held her hand and said, "Wife, I'll take you to see someone."
She tilted her head to look at me and said, "See who?" I said, "Someone you didn't expect." I pulled her and walked to the canteen.
Zhu Shizhen saw me from afar, waved for me to go over, and said aggrievedly, "Committee Member Chen, what should I do? These big masters refuse to get off the car."
I smiled and said, "Township Head Zhu, our own one-acre-three-cent land, you have no way?"
Zhu Shizhen said with a worried face, "I have no way. If I don't come down to eat, it's not me who is hungry. I don't care anymore."
I said, "You go to the canteen for a turn, and when you come back, say Secretary Guan is waiting for everyone."
He really ran over. Before I walked away, he ran back, patted open a car window, said a few words, and then saw the head in the car rolling out, running to the canteen in small steps.
One after another, he patted open several car windows. Every time he patted open a car window, he would see someone rolling out of it.
Xue Bing was happy and said, "Chen Feng, your bad ideas are really many."
I hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I have worse ideas, but those ideas are only suitable for use between us."
Her face turned red and she said, "Bad person."
I laughed "hehe" and said, "Husband loves wife, how can it be called a bad person. Let husband serve you tonight."
After the people in the car all went to the canteen, Zhu Shizhen came over with a smile and said, "Committee Member Chen, why haven't you gone in yet?"
I said, "The township head is still treating guests, how can I be embarrassed to go in, I am waiting for you."
He laughed and said, "Your method is really useful. Young man, not bad." Saying that, he stretched out a thumb at me.
My mouth grinned and said, "With Secretary He and Secretary Guan here, no matter how big their guts are, they dare not listen to the greeting."
The three of us walked to the canteen together. On the way, we met Sister-in-law Yue Bai. She looked at us, stopped, and said, "Township Head Zhu, Secretary Guo is looking for you." Zhu Shizhen heard this, left us, and ran away in small steps.
Sister-in-law Yue Bai looked at Xue Bing and said, "Teacher Xue, you are so beautiful."
Xue Bing smiled shyly, and I hurriedly introduced, "This is Sister-in-law Yue Bai, from the Township Enterprise Office."
Xue Bing smiled and said, "I know, from Laoyingzui Village."
Sister-in-law Yue Bai nodded hurriedly, seeing that Xue Bing didn't like her very much, so she said she was busy and left first.
As soon as Sister-in-law Yue Bai walked away, Xue Bing pinched my hand and said, "This woman is so sao."
I was startled and looked at her incomprehensibly. She smiled and said, "A woman's intuition."
I couldn't say anything. A woman's intuition is really terrible, just like Sherlock Holmes, who can find traces in subtle places.
"Look at the way she looks at you, she can't wait to eat you." She giggled, "But I understand, a widow, looking at a pig is like looking at a handsome man."
I couldn't laugh or cry. Xue Bing's words were obviously very vicious, and I couldn't accept it.
I said, "Don't talk about others, okay. Tonight we go to Pan Xiaoqin's supermarket to spend the Little New Year's Eve."
Xue Bing stood still, looking at me with her fluttering eyes.
I said, "I am a shareholder of the supermarket."
She was even more surprised and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
I said, "Reporting to you now." So I told her simply about Pan Xiaoqin opening the supermarket. After listening, Xue Bing said faintly, "I don't know how many things you haven't told me."
I hugged her shoulders tightly and said, "Wife, I am like a piece of white paper, any ink will leave traces." ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
