Chapter 254

The dishes at his grandparents' house were not so exquisite, and even appeared a bit rough. The braised pork was in large pieces, and the fish was cooked in an iron pot. The dishes were not served on plates, but in large coarse ceramic bowls. The rice was not cooked in an electric rice cooker, but in an iron pot.

However, such meals made Su Xinghui eat very deliciously. He had eaten too many such meals at his grandparents' house when he was a child, and this was already the taste buried deep in his heart.

After drinking a bowl of pitch-black lotus root soup boiled in an iron pot, Su Xinghui sighed with satisfaction: "So fragrant!"

Guo Changqing said: "Fragrant, right? This lotus root soup doesn't look as good as the one pressed in a pressure cooker in the city, but it's fragrant."

Su Xinghui laughed: "I hope that when I come next year, I can drink the lotus root soup made from the lotus roots you planted yourself!"

Guo Changqing looked at his two sons, nodded, and laughed: "We will definitely try to let you drink it next year."

After staying at his grandparents' house for one night, Su Xingyun's family and Su Xinghui returned to Shangjun County on the morning of the third day of the New Year. After he returned, he learned that many things had happened in Shangjun County yesterday.

County Party Secretary Comrade Ji Tao convened a temporary Standing Committee meeting to discuss the emergency of Tao Yan's car accident.

Tao Yan held three positions: Secretary of the County Political and Legal Affairs Committee, member of the County Party Standing Committee, and Director of the County Public Security Bureau. No matter which one, these three positions were very important and could not be missing for a day. He was now lying in a hospital bed and would have to lie for at least a few months, obviously unable to perform his duties normally.

From another perspective, Tao Yan was drunk driving and had a car accident while alone in the same car with one of his female subordinates on the first day of the New Year. The impact of this incident was too bad, and Tao Yan was no longer suitable to continue to hold his current position.

Of course, Tao Yan was a county-level leader, and whether he could continue to hold his current position was not up to the county, but at least the county could designate someone to perform Tao Yan's duties on his behalf, so Comrade Ji Tao convened this temporary Standing Committee meeting.

At the Standing Committee meeting, Shan Guozhi couldn't wait to throw out his candidate, the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Zheng Jianan. Zheng Jianan was also a person he promoted, and Shan Guozhi was relatively at ease letting him temporarily preside over the work of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Public Security Bureau.

However, Zhang Kaishan proposed another candidate, another Deputy Director, Xu Shixie.
