Chapter 103: Love on the Eve of the Little New Year (2)
The canteen was quiet, and dozens of people were sitting around the table, holding their breath. The hot food was already on the table, and a bottle of Yuntou Daqu was on each table. Everyone put their hands under the table, lowering their eyebrows and bowing their heads.
I can fully understand the cadres. The Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is sitting there, who dares to be presumptuous? Even Secretary Guan Peishan, how many opportunities does he have to eat with the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in a year?
I took Xue Bing to find an empty table and sat down. Huang Qishan saw me, moved a table over, sat beside me, winked, and said, "Beauty, Chen Feng."
I smiled conceitedly and introduced to Xue Bing, "County Youth League Committee Secretary, Huang Qishan. Brother."
Huang Qishan reached out to shake hands with Xue Bing. Xue Bing looked at me, I nodded, and she reached out. Huang Qishan was very unhappy and cursed me, "Chen Feng, you kid is too selfish, right? Shaking hands still needs to ask for your opinion."
I laughed, "Secretary Huang, you don't even have the tongue to fall off when you speak. Teacher Xue shaking hands with you is her business, can I advocate it? Besides, you are still a secretary, shaking hands with women, how can men be active?"
"You are a selfish ghost." Huang Qishan cursed, "You found a beauty without a sound, hid it and didn't take it out. Otherwise, I tell you, Teacher Xue, Chen Feng, this person, everything is good, just selfish."
I stared and said, "Secretary Huang, you are slandering."
He laughed "hehe" and said, "Just kidding, Teacher Xue. We are brothers, speaking very directly." Then he said mysteriously to Xue Bing, "Looking at you singing under the stage just now, I thought Suxi Township invited a star. Didn't expect, didn't expect."
I asked, "Didn't expect what?"
He pretended to be serious and said, "You kid took the advantage of the near water tower to get the moon first. If you, Chen Feng, hadn't inserted a foot in the middle, I was planning to chase Teacher Xue." He said to Xue Bing with full sincerity, "Teacher Xue, what a beautiful flower you are, how did you insert it into this cow dung of his."
I reached out and patted him, and said to Huang Qishan word by word, "Why don't you go die."
After speaking, the three of them laughed. I know Huang Qishan is purely joking. He is now holding a dead knot in his heart, and this dead knot is Huang Weiwei.
He came to Chunshan County at the suggestion and arrangement of Huang Weiwei. He thought he could enter the Huang family's house from now on and be a happy son-in-law of the minister. Didn't expect that a mountain village Cheng Yaojin, Guo Wei, killed halfway. He analyzed it several times, and the conclusion was that Guo Wei took advantage of his time in Chunshan County to take advantage of the vacancy and won Huang Weiwei's heart.
Although Huang Weiwei never expressed that she loved him, and never talked to him about love, since she could recommend him to be the Chunshan County Youth League Committee Secretary, it shows that she has his position in her heart!
Huang Weiwei's indecisive attitude made him suffer in the days after Guo Wei took office.
He once tentatively called Huang Weiwei. Huang Weiwei on the phone was still the same, asking him about work without haste, not mentioning her own affairs, that is, Huang Qishan talked about Guo Wei in a roundabout way, and Huang Weiwei also lightly said it was the organization's arrangement, she didn't know the content and situation.
I have been to Minister Huang's house. Huang Qishan listed me and Guo Wei as his rivals in love for a period of time. For enemies, he adopted the strategy of making friends from afar and attacking from near, pulling me over and attacking Guo Wei. He knew that with my current situation, there was no chance to compete with him for Huang Weiwei's love. Only by killing Guo Wei, the remaining me would be a piece of cake.
Now that he saw the beauty Xue Bing beside me, his originally not very stable heart was completely relaxed. Therefore, he teased us proudly, untied a knot in his heart, and looked relieved.
Secretary He Zhi originally didn't want to eat in Nonggu Township. His plan was to go to the County Martyrs Cemetery to see after the ribbon-cutting, and then return to the government. He couldn't stand Guo Wei's persistent retention, plus Minister Huang Shan also said to let Guo Wei fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and Secretary Guan Peishan said a thousand words to ask Secretary He to sit for a while, even for a few minutes, which was considered to give Suxi Township a face.
In fact, I and County Magistrate Liu Qimeng knew clearly in our hearts that Secretary Guan's so-called face was because he was afraid that He Zhi would go to the Martyrs Cemetery.
Secretary He Zhi came to Suxi for ribbon-cutting, which is an unprecedented thing. Logically speaking, such a small thing, a municipal party committee deputy secretary doesn't need to come out in person at all. Besides, the municipal party committee generally doesn't participate in the activities of the county below, unless it is a national project.
Since you are here, you are safe. Secretary He Zhi first raised his glass, showing his high-level leader's attitude of being polite to the virtuous and condescending.
As soon as the Yuntou Daqu was opened, the wine fragrance permeated like rotten red sweet potatoes. The country cadres who were used to drinking Yuntou Daqu were happy, and the county cadres who were not used to drinking Yuntou Daqu were worried. The sharp contrast between the two, the strong contrast.
I don't care, good wine can be drunk, and inferior wine can also be drunk. Thinking back then, Liu Quan and I each held a bottle, and a dish of peanuts could drink with high spirits.
Guo Wei gave a toast, then Minister Huang Shan put forward requirements for cadres, Secretary Guan talked about his insights, and finally Secretary He Zhi delivered a speech. A meal, eaten for two hours before it came to an end. Everyone was red-faced and thick-necked. Huang Qishan, who didn't drink, also drank a few cups, swayed to my side, hugged my shoulder and said, "Brother, I... I...."
"I" for a long time without a follow-up, spitting rough air and rolling his eyes.
I said, "Secretary Huang, you are drunk."
He said with a red face, "Who... who said... I'm drunk? Old man... not drunk." He used the glass to hit my glass hard, and the spilled wine splashed on Xue Bing's clothes. He smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry... sorry, Teacher Xue."
I helped him back to his seat, smiled at the cadres at his table, looked back at Huang Qishan, and he was already lying on the table like a puddle of mud.
Tonight is the Little New Year's Eve. After eating this meal, it enters the time to send off the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God will collect the joy and sorrow of the world tonight and go to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor. Country folk attach great importance to sending off the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God is the god who reports to the Jade Emperor in heaven and comforts the people on earth. He is the closest god to every household.
I remembered that my mother also sent off the Kitchen God every year at this time. Although my father, who was an atheist all his life, sneered, he would also be in fear and trepidation at this time.
Secretary He Zhi was obviously very happy. He took Minister Huang Shan, followed by Secretary Guan and County Magistrate Liu, and came to toast at each table one by one. Toasting by leaders is also a culture. The toaster stops at the point, and the toasted must drink it in one gulp.
A burst of collision of chairs and stools, when the leader arrived at this table, the people at the table hurriedly stood up, said three or five bland words, expressed one or two determinations, the glasses touched, immediately tilted their heads and poured into their throats, full of smiles, watching the leader speak.
Leaders generally rarely speak, swaying in the crowd like butterflies. When he arrived at my table, He Zhi looked at me with a smile and said, "Chen Feng, is it okay to drink?"
I patted my chest and said, "Leader, don't worry, still young, not afraid."
He laughed, looked at Xue Bing beside me, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
I hurriedly introduced, "Teacher of the township middle school, named Xue Bing."
He Zhi smiled and said, "The song is not bad."
Xue Bing's face turned red, she smiled shyly, and pulled my clothes quietly. Her action was seen by He Zhi, as if she suddenly understood something and said repeatedly, "Good, good, good, not bad."
After He Zhi left, Xue Bing asked me quietly, "Do you know Secretary He?"
I whispered in her ear, "He is my cousin."
Xue Bing was stunned, looking at me without blinking, a smile that could not be figured out appeared on her face.
Finally, the wine was finished and the people were dry. He Zhi walked out of the canteen quickly, stood in the big square of the township government, looked at the towering mountains, and said with infinite emotion, "Suxi Township, this place, is really a treasure of heaven and earth."
No one understood the meaning of his words. He said to himself, "Such a clean place is a paradise. Given time, the development of this place will definitely be extraordinary."
Guo Wei took the opportunity to express his position, "Secretary He, don't worry, I will recommend Suxi with my blood. If I don't change today's face, I will never give up."
Minister Huang Shan, standing on the side, praised, "Good, young man, should have such courage and responsibility."
A cold wind blew, poured into my neck, the body that was originally hot with wine shivered, and there was an urge to urinate.
Watching the leading cadres get into the car one after another, watching their motorcade set off in dust, I suddenly felt sour in my nose. The scene of my coming to Suxi four years ago appeared in front of me. The heroic secretary Liu Quan jumped out in my memory, and the sick township head Hao also jumped out. In just four years, everything has changed! ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
