Chapter 115: Deputy Director Chen Yazhi's Hint

A table of sumptuous wine and dishes made me feel uneasy.

Chen Yazhi pointed to several seafood dishes and said, "I made them myself, I don't know if they are authentic or not, just make do with it."

Huang Weiwei picked up her chopsticks, picked up a shrimp, looked at it for a long time, giggled and said, "Mom, I think your craftsmanship is higher than the chef of Jiangyang Seafood. Just looking at the color and fragrance, it's not the same grade."

Minister Huang Shan's interest was also unprecedentedly high, reservedly glancing at the table and saying, "Yazhi, it's hard to eat the food you made yourself now. It's rare that you cooked yourself today, come, come, Weiwei, pour a glass for your mother, let's reward her."

Chen Yazhi didn't care about their father-daughter teasing, but turned to greet me, "Come, Little Chen, try your aunt's craftsmanship."

Entering the minister's house and receiving such a warm welcome, I hadn't reacted for a while, staring blankly at the full table of dishes, smiling mechanically.

Once the fifteen-year-old Moutai was opened, the room was instantly filled with the mellow aroma of wine. The pale yellow wine in the transparent glass wine glass was like the clouds at dusk, vaguely, as if a landscape painting was unfolding in front of my eyes.

Four people sat on four sides, the old nanny insisted on not sitting at the table to eat, saying that she couldn't break the rules, and ate alone in the kitchen. Looking at the old nanny's already stooped back, looking at the layer of silver white in her black hair, I thought of my own mother, my heart ached, and I almost shed tears.

Huang Weiwei paid attention to my actions, her feet touched mine lightly under the table, gave me a wink, picked up the wine glass and said, "Mom and Dad, thank you for leading me on the road, thank you for letting me live happily. This glass of wine, wish Mom and Dad eternal youth, happiness and joy."

I didn't know whether to take the wine glass or not. Taking it would be the same toast as Huang Weiwei said, but I am an outsider, why thank her parents? Not taking it, there was no way to deal with Huang Weiwei's wink, I thought about it, still picked up the glass, and said my own words: "Minister Huang, Director Chen, thank you for your concern for me, in the future I will definitely work harder to repay the organization for its cultivation of me."

Once the words came out, I almost wanted to vomit myself.

Minister Huang and his wife looked at us with smiles, nodding and saying, "You young people, the road is still long, need to walk step by step."

I don't know what the subtext behind this sentence is, but I clearly feel that they didn't treat me as an outsider. If a family can accept an outsider to eat at the same table, it first shows acceptance, and there is a possibility of further development. I am an outsider, an outsider who cannot be more outside, and I have had no excessive contact with them, only in a social education in a county with Huang Weiwei, and this social education work, I still don't understand what I did until now.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, everyone was in a good mood. Chen Yazhi kept persuading me to eat, full of kindness and care. Huang Weiwei was jealous and dissatisfied, shouting, "Mom, look at you, you put so many dishes for Chen Feng, but you don't put any for me, you are turning your elbows out."

Chen Yazhi smiled and said, "He is a guest, you are the host. Your own friend, Mom helps you take care of, you don't come to thank me, but complain, really don't know a good person."

Huang Weiwei complained, "Chen Feng, look at my mom, is she biased?"

I smiled and said, "Director Chen is caring for me, a junior."

Chen Yazhi looked at me and said, "Little Chen, you can call me Aunt in the future. Don't call me Director, at home, be casual. Don't call me estranged."

I hurriedly agreed, changing my address to "Aunt."

She answered happily and said to me, "Little Chen, look, Aunt is going to work after the New Year, what is your opinion?"

I was stunned, Director Chen, whether you go to work or not has nothing to do with me. You are a deputy director of the Transportation Bureau, with high power and heavy responsibility, I am a small cadre, and still a township cadre who can't get on the stage, what opinion can I give you?

She stared at my eyes waiting for my answer, I looked at Huang Weiwei, she deliberately turned her eyes away and pretended not to hear. I looked at Minister Huang again, his calm face couldn't see half an attitude.

I had to say, "Aunt, it's a good thing for you to go to work. However, Minister Huang needs your care more."

"Old Huang doesn't need my care." Chen Yazhi said very casually, "After the New Year, the expressway project is going to be launched. The bureau's meaning is for me to be responsible for this matter. I originally wanted to decline, I'm so old, just do something easy. But the municipal committee's opinion is also for me to take this responsibility. Look, how should this matter be handled better."

I didn't dare to answer, waiting for her to continue.

"Since the leader trusts me, as a party cadre, I cannot shirk it, right. I also discussed it with Old Huang, and after the New Year, I will officially serve as the commander of the Expressway Construction Headquarters." She concluded her words, and finally said unintentionally, "The expressway is going to pass through your Chunshan County."

My heart moved, and I immediately remembered Guo Wei's plan to relocate the township government. Could it be that he knew about this long ago? I was still thinking about Guo Wei relocating the township government, not to mention the huge manpower consumption, where would the financial resources come from? Now I finally understood Guo Wei's grand blueprint, it turned out that the hope was all on the expressway construction.

I don't know if Chen Yazhi's words were conscious, in my opinion, she didn't need to mention these things in front of me. Does she have any plans?

Sure enough, Chen Yazhi paused and asked me, "Little Chen, do you have any relatives or friends who do engineering?"

My brain turned several circles quickly, flipped through it, and didn't find anyone. Except for my aunt, I couldn't think of anyone who could do engineering.

I shook my head and said, "No."

Chen Yazhi smiled slightly and said, "Also, companies that can do expressway construction are companies with qualifications. However, nowadays many companies engage in affiliation, and they do it quite well."

Minister Huang Shan coughed slightly, and Chen Yazhi immediately stopped talking, pointed to the dishes with chopsticks and said, "Come, Little Chen, eat more. Young people, only if you eat can you do."

I wanted to laugh, only if you eat can you do, I looked evilly at the curvy Huang Weiwei, indeed, only if you do can you be a man! Like Huang Weiwei, such a beauty, has a face, has a figure, compared with Xue Bing in the mountains, one is a rose, one is a peony. The rose is elegant and beautiful, the peony is rich and luxurious.

Huang Weiwei seemed to see my eyes, moved her body shyly, and stepped on my feet carelessly under the table, suddenly stepping hard, making me almost split my mouth.

Chen Yazhi looked at me inexplicably, I hurriedly covered up and said, "This vinegar, so sour."

Chen Yazhi smiled and said, "Authentic Jiangsu white vinegar, eat seafood, dip in a little vinegar, can sterilize, and add taste."

Minister Huang put down his chopsticks and got up to leave, walked to the stairs and turned back to urge Huang Weiwei, "Weiwei, you go to Uncle He's house to pay New Year's greetings these few days, don't let people say our family has no upbringing."

Huang Weiwei looked at her mother in embarrassment, Chen Yazhi pointed and said, "Ask Little Chen to accompany you. What are you looking at me for, you are so old, still need us to worry?"

Huang Weiwei turned to ask me, "Chen Feng, will you take me?"

I smiled and said, "I just came back from paying New Year's greetings to my cousin-in-law yesterday, the festival is not over yet, and going again is paying New Year's greetings to the young year (cannot go twice during the New Year, a tradition in the Xiangzhong area)."

Chen Yazhi said, "There are not so many rules. It's a new era, like the past, the old rules should be broken."

I had to say, "My cousin-in-law's house is just him alone, his wife and cousin didn't come home."

"Oh, is it?" Minister Huang and his wife showed a very surprised expression at the same time, Minister Huang said to himself, "What is Old He doing, all of China is reuniting, he is alone." He waved his hand to me and Huang Weiwei, "As juniors, you should care more about the life of elders at this time. How about this, take a piece of calligraphy from me tomorrow, Secretary He likes calligraphy, let him appreciate it."

Chen Yazhi said, "After you go, tell Uncle He, invite him to sit at home another day. Secretary He is alone, we give him family warmth." After finishing, she laughed first, and urged us, "Accompany Secretary He well to talk. He has lived in the north all his life, it is very difficult to adapt to our south."

Minister Huang went upstairs with a teacup in his hand, the door closed behind him, and didn't open again until I left.

"I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow." Huang Weiwei said, walked to the sofa in the living room with a napkin, and called the old nanny: "Aunt Deng, get me a hot towel."

She knelt on the long sofa with her legs bent, revealing a white neck under her long hair. She, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, had a layer of delicate rose red on her white face, as if a touch of rosy clouds in the morning sky, charming in every way. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
