Chapter 21 new year news

Hou Weidong drove his newly bought Bluebird to Lingxi.The new car still needs running-in, and the speed is not fast. Nevertheless, at 5 pm, he still arrived at Lingxi Airport on time. Seeing the modern airport and the beauties flashing from time to time, Hou Weidong felt a little emotional.His most memorable trip to Lingxi was when he was eight years old: he used to live with his father in the villages and towns below Wuhai County. When he was eight years old, he was going to Lingxi, and Hou Weidong was excited for nearly a month.I can’t remember why I went to Lingxi now. I got up at 6:00 in the morning and took the bus from the village to Wuhai County at 7:00. It took me two hours to arrive at Wuhai County. The bus went directly to Lingxi, and the family took a bus to Shazhou in Wuhai. This trip took another three hours.

When I arrived in Shazhou, it was already lunch time, so I didn't care about eating, so I hurried to the bus station to buy a ticket, and finally bought the bus at 4:00 pm. After dinner, mother Liu Guangfen took Hou Xiaoying and Hou Weidong to the Shazhou Zoo.At that time, the zoo only had a few rambunctious monkeys, a group of unnamed birds, and a few turtles.However, these few animals have opened the eyes of Hou Xiaoying and Hou Weidong. After all, it is rare for the two siblings to see monkeys jumping around in the trees. When they arrived at Lingxi, countless stars were shining in the sky, and Hou Xiaoying and Hou Weidong had already fallen asleep on the bus.

Although Hou Weidong was still young at that time, this experience in Lingxi was deeply etched in his mind.Nearly two decades have passed, society has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Hou Weidong's family has also undergone drastic changes following the times. As an individual Hou Weidong, his changes have not been small: first, he was admitted to a university. Under the historical environment at that time, university education was still an elite education, and it was a great thing to be able to go to university; second, he married a Shazhou Girls are wives. Hou Weidong grew up in the countryside of Wuhai when he was a child, and grew up in Wuhai County as a teenager. Marrying a girl from Shazhou is something worth boasting for a boy in the county; the third is to have a car and a house. Leaving aside the house, in the late 1980s and mid-1990s, a private car was still an elusive dream for most families, but Hou Weidong already had a private car.It takes less than four hours to drive from Yiyang to Lingxi in a private car, accompanied by music all the way, stop whenever you want, and hurry up if you want, and you can get off at any time, which is more convenient than the sardine-like bus back then. Countless grades.

In the waiting hall, batch after batch of guests seemed to come out of the monster's mouth continuously.Hou Weidong also stared at the monster's big mouth, because Xiao Jia would also be spit out from here. After waiting for more than an hour, when Hou Weidong was a little slack, Xiao Jia walked out of the terminal hall in a windbreaker and dragging her luggage.At this moment, Hou Weidong suddenly felt that Xiao Jia seemed a little strange.After handing over the luggage bag, Xiao Jia held Hou Weidong's arm, looked carefully at Hou Weidong, and said, "Husband, why do I feel that your appearance has changed?"

Hou Weidong touched his face: "It's still the same, one nose, two eyeballs, didn't it become a monster?" After closing the car window and turning on the air conditioner, Hou Weidong pulled Xiao Jia to his side and bit Xiao Jia on the mouth.Xiaojia said "Mmhmh" twice, and was entangled by Hou Weidong's domineering tongue.This kiss lasted for several minutes. When the two let go, Xiao Jia's eyes were watery and tender, and she said, "Today we will live in Lingxi." Hou Weidong said: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, don't you want to go home?"

"We will spend the evening alone. Tomorrow we will go to Wuhai County to celebrate the New Year at your home. We will go back to Shazhou on the third day of junior high and spend it at my home." This is the first Spring Festival since we got married. Go to Hou Weidong's house, and then to his own house. Hou Weidong thought that after the Spring Festival, Zhu Yan would go to several leaders' homes to pay New Year's greetings, and he had little time to spend with Xiaojia, so he said apologetically, "Secretary Zhu will start activities on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and I have to follow then."

Xiao Jia didn't care about this, and said, "Just do what you should do, don't worry about me too much, I still have this ability to understand. You have grown so fast this year, there must be many people who are jealous of you , be careful of villains." After the random kiss just now and discussing some specific matters, the strangeness between Hou Weidong and Xiao Jia completely disappeared.Xiaojia took the time to touch up her makeup and said, "My husband, your mouth smells so bad of cigarettes. Smoking is bad for your health. You'd better quit smoking." She stretched out her hand and pinched Hou Weidong, "If you don't quit smoking, you are not allowed to kiss." I."

Pinching the arms is Xiaojia's signature action. Hou Weidong gasped for air in pain, and said, "We'll drive later, don't pinch randomly." After checking into the Venus Hotel and closing the door, Xiaojia was thrown on the bed. Hou Weidong got his head into Xiaojia's clothes, looking for peaks and valleys hungrily with his mouth. "Don't worry, I want to take a shower." "Let's wash together." "No, keep it secret." Xiao Jia carried a small bag to take a bath with a mysterious expression on her face. Hearing the sound of rushing water, Hou Weidong felt itchy, and tried to rush in several times, but Xiao Jia refused.After about ten minutes, Xiao Jia came out in her nightgown. She dodged Hou Weidong's pounce and said, "Take a shower first, and I'll give you five minutes."

Hou Weidong only washed the key parts that were about to be used in a hurry, and it came out in less than a minute.Xiao Jia smiled and made a pinching motion, not allowing Hou Weidong to approach, saying: "You are on the bed, wait for me." She picked a channel that was playing music, then stood by the bed and slowly took off her dressing gown.Hou Weidong's eyes straightened: Xiao Jia was wearing a transparent three-point style. During the Spring Festival of 1997, on New Year's Eve at the Jinxing Hotel, Hou Weidong and Xiaojia were having sex while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and they were happy.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hou Weidong drove to Wuhai County, almost at the same time as his elder brother Hou Weiguo and his sister-in-law Jiang Chu.Hou Weiguo drove a public security car, an ordinary Santana with the word "public security" printed on it.He is a car lover, and when he saw the shiny blue bird, he kept clicking his tongue, asked for the car keys, and drove the blue bird around the county town. Jiang Chu was holding a big bag in her hand, and she planned to make Liu Guangfen, Hou Xiaoying and Xiaojia, the female family members, all her customers during the Spring Festival.After entering the house, she dragged Liu Guangfen and Xiao Jia into the back room, took out the products, and introduced them earnestly.

In the second day of junior high school, He Yong and the pregnant Hou Xiaoying also came back.Seeing that all the children had returned home, Liu Guangfen was overjoyed. Together with Hou Yonggui, they occupied the kitchen and let the children play cards in the living room.Hearing the laughter from the living room, Liu Guangfen said softly to his wife: "It would be great if the boss had children." Hou Yonggui persuaded: "Don't worry, my wife, the children are still young, and it's time to start their careers." Liu Guangfen quickly put the stir-fried dishes on the plate, and said in a rambling manner: "Now that I am in good health, I can help them take care of their children, so they don't have much burden. Why is this kid Jiang Chu obsessed with pyramid schemes? The response to pyramid schemes is not good, I want to tell Wei Guo, and my daughter-in-law has to control it." Hou Yonggui took the plate and said: "You don't care about young people's affairs, just tell Wei Guo, and tell Jiang Chu behind your back. After all, a daughter-in-law is not a daughter, so don't speak harshly." After the first and second grades in Wuhai County, Hou Weidong and Xiaojia returned to Shazhou.Zhang Yuanzheng retired at home, and his salary was pitifully low, while Chen Qingrong had already been laid off.The ruthless reality has changed their understanding of this familiar world. Where the son-in-law works has become a secondary issue. The key is to have a career.Having money or power can be called having a career. The market economy easily shattered the values ​​established in the era of the planned economy. The laid-off workers were at the bottom of the wheel, and the young people could turn around in time. The middle-aged and the elderly suffered the great pain brought about by the transformation. Hou Weidong witnessed the whole process of change completely, and he had a good grasp of the mentality of his parents-in-law. After having lunch at home, he gave his mother-in-law Chen Qingrong 10,000 yuan for the New Year. While Hou Weidong and Xiaojia were still taking a nap, Chen Qingrong and Zhang Yuanzheng went out with a vegetable basket and bought a silver carp about three catties. Zhang Yuanzheng and Chen Qingrong were polite, and Xiao Jia felt this sensitively. This kind of politeness made her a little sad, pretending to be arguing about playing mahjong, and after setting up the battlefield in the living room, the atmosphere of the family was restored harmonize. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Hou Weidong's family life ended when he received a call from Zhu Yan. He continued to accompany Zhu Yan to fight in Lingxi and Shazhou, and visited many important people.Tired is a bit tired, and it also opened Hou Weidong's eyes. During the Chinese New Year, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to wish Zhu Yan a happy new year. As the deputy director of the office who presided over the work, Hou Weidong's mobile phone was almost exploded.Running around with Zhu Yan, paying new year greetings to leaders with higher positions, he fully understands the New Year greetings from various towns and departments, and often opens the door of convenience within his ability. Qin Feiyue, Su Ming and other familiar leaders, he They have all been carefully arranged. On the ninth day of the ninth day, Zhu Yan got drunk. Hou Weidong sent him home, Jiang Yuxin looked at Zhu Yan's blood-red face, and sighed: "Why bother!" Hou Weidong carried Zhu Yan to the bed.Jiang Yuxin placed the water delivery equipment in front of the bed, and delivered water to Zhu Yan in an orderly manner, saying: "Xiao Hou, you must always remind Lao Zhu. He is also very old, why bother to be a desperate Saburo, drinking less is not a big deal of." There was a hint of reproach in these words, Hou Weidong did not explain, and said: "Dean Jiang, I will remember it in the future." Jiang Yuxin knew in her heart that it was definitely not Yi Yang who could make Zhu Yan drink so much. She said again: "Young Hou is young, so you should drink less alcohol. When your liver burns out, it will be too late to regret it." After getting out, he got into Lao Liu's car. The air conditioner in the car was turned on very high. When the heat was overwhelming, Hou Weidong felt drunk and almost vomited.He called Xiaojia who was at home, and said, "Honey, I'm coming back soon, get me some juice, I'm drinking too much." Xiao Jia was turning on the home theater to watch the old movie "The Fugitive". After turning down the volume, she said, "Are you okay? I told you to drink less, but you didn't listen. Don't be so straightforward. If you can cheat, you will cheat." She knew This kind of statement is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow, but I still couldn't help complaining a few words. When we got downstairs, as soon as the car left, Hou Weidong ran downstairs into the woods, hid in the dark and vomited violently like a storm. He vomited out his stomach full of protein, fat, chlorophyll and a lot of alcohol, so that he felt better.Just as he flashed out of the woods, a light just happened to hit Hou Weidong's eyes so hard that he couldn't keep them open. "Director Hou, Happy Chinese New Year." Deputy Director Xiao Bing of the Organization Department of Yiyang County got off the co-pilot seat and extended his hand enthusiastically.Hou Weidong took the time to wipe his right hand on his trousers vigorously, wiped off the alcohol mixture, and said with a smile on his face: "Minister Xiao, happy Chinese New Year." Hou Weidong used to work in the General Cadre Section of the Organization Department, and Xiao Bing was directly in charge. Now the two are at the same level, but Hou Weidong's position in the county party committee is at its peak.Xiao Bing drank too much and lost his usual composure. He said, "We have produced talents from the general cadre department of the organization department. Wei Dong has become the director of the committee office. Guo Lan is also good. He was transferred to the Shazhou organization department." Guo Lan got off the car and nodded to Hou Weidong.The weather was cold, so she wore a half-length coat with no accessories, simple and clean. Hou Weidong was transferred from Qinglin Town to the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, with the purpose of using this as a springboard, and then transferred to the Organization Department of the Shazhou City Party Committee through Su Mingjun's relationship.Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. He rose up in Yiyang at a rocket-like speed. After thinking about it, he declined the proposal to be transferred to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Xiao Bing was already slightly drunk, and he chattered for a while, and when he got into the car, he said to Guo Lan: "Guo Lan, before you go to work in Shazhou, give me a call, and I will send a car to take you there." After the car drove away, Hou Weidong said to Guo Lan: "Transfer to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and move up to a higher level. Congratulations." Guo Lan cleaned Xiaokun's bag with her hands, and said, "I was seconded to the Organization Department a few years ago, and the formal transfer document has not yet been issued." She smelled the alcohol emanating from Hou Weidong, and said, "Have you drank it? Less?" "Drink a little bit." The alcohol circulated in Hou Weidong's body, making him more excited than usual, and said, "No wonder I haven't heard your piano sound for a while. I'm still wondering why you don't play the piano anymore. Let my Life has lost many notes." Guo Lan blushed slightly and said, "Do you like listening to music?" "I don't understand music, I just like to listen to it, and I'm just a layman watching the fun." The two talked while walking, went upstairs and stood at the door of their house. Hou Weidong said: "Vice Minister Su Mingjun of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is my friend. Next time I return to Shazhou, I will treat you two superiors to dinner." Guo Lan suddenly realized, and thought, "No wonder Hou Weidong was transferred from Qinglin Town to the County Organization Department. It turned out to be because of Su Mingjun's relationship." She took out the key, opened the door and said, "You are welcome to come to the department at any time." Hou Weidong hiccupped and lurked a word for himself, saying: "The Organization Department is the natal family of the cadres, and I will definitely come." Back home, there was a bottle of fruit juice on the tea table, and Xiao Jia was cooking soup in the kitchen, saying: "You drink the juice first, I'm making mung bean soup for you." "There are no mung beans at home, so you bought them?" "I know you want to drink, I went out to buy it in the afternoon." The home of Shazhou University has been deserted for a long time, and Xiao Jia walked up and down the house, and her popularity index suddenly rose.Hou Weidong drank the juice, lay on the bed, and said to Xiaojia: "It's better to have my wife by my side. I was drunk before, so how can I get this kind of treatment." Xiaojia said in the living room: "Don't be stinking, come out to take a bath, full of alcohol Don't sleep on the bed. I just changed the sheets, respect the fruits of my labor." Hou Weidong vomited under the woods and drank fruit juice again, feeling much better, but he still stayed on the bed and didn't move until Xiaojia waved his five fingers in a pinching gesture, and he rolled over from the bed.As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard the faint sound of the piano coming from the balcony. The tune was very familiar and the melody was particularly brisk. Xiao Jia said, "Is this Guo Lan playing? It's really good." "Guo Lan has been transferred to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and is now under Minister Su." When Xiaojia heard the news, she was a little worried about gains and losses, and said, "It's good to be Zhu Yan's secretary, but the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is a higher platform, which is a contradiction." "I wish the secretary can be the deputy mayor of Shazhou in all likelihood. Then I will follow and join the city government, which is similar to the organization department. A scholar dies for his confidant. I wish the secretary trusted me so much. I am embarrassed to say that I will be transferred away .” The next day, the magistrate Ma Youcai invited Zhu Yan to dinner. Hou Weidong always felt weird when he entered the VIP building of the small guest house of the county party committee.After he became Zhu Yan's secretary, Zhu Yan and Ma Youcai had never had a meal together alone. Today, Ma Youcai took the initiative to invite Zhu Yan to dinner, which was unprecedented. This is also a continuation of the previous political situation. The two wisely chose peace. In this sensitive period, fighting will lead to defeat, and peace will lead to win-win. Since it was Ma Youcai's treat, and the county government was in charge of arranging the living arrangements, Hou Weidong was happy to relax and became the shopkeeper.When Zhu and Ma began to drink revolutionary wine, several staff members of the county party committee and the county government opened a separate room for dinner. Without drinking, the atmosphere of the dinner was not lively, and everyone quickly ate dry meals.Putting down the bowl, Hou Weidong saw that everyone was sitting bored, and suggested: "Director Sheng, let's not stare at each other and double button." Sheng Kui is the chief of the general section of the county government office. He is 37 years old and has older qualifications than Hou Weidong. much.He was addicted to cigarettes, his right index finger and middle finger were so smoked, he walked slowly to the door with the cigarette in his hand, waved to the waiter not far away, and whispered a few words at the door. The waiter came in with tea and mandarin oranges, and quickly cleaned up the room. Sheng Kui said: "Director Hou, you decide the rules of the double buckle. Should you use the southern or northern style?" As for the highest, naturally he has to make up his mind.Lao Liu and the other driver were all sophisticated characters, sitting around the table, waiting for Hou Weidong to speak. Hou Weidong declined for a while, and said: "Let's use the Northern School's style of play, which is simpler. The Southern School has too many rules." Everyone unanimously agreed with Hou Weidong's proposal. During the Spring Festival, the gossip that Zhu Yan was going to be promoted to the deputy mayor of Shazhou City had spread. Sheng Kui had worked in the government office for several years, so he was very well informed.He had heard several versions of Zhu Yan's transfer from Shazhou City, but he was not too sure. When everyone was drawing their cards, he said, "Director Hou, I heard that your wife is working in Shazhou. Back then, he was a member of Shazhou College. school belle." When Hou Weidong was transferred to the county party committee office, it was the time when Zhu Yan and Ma Youcai had the most fierce fight. Against this background, there was always a distance and gap between the county party committee office and the county government office.He knew that Sheng Kui had a good relationship with Ma Youcai, so he was wary of him. He teased himself: "How can I get the school belle with my appearance? Besides, the cost of marrying a school belle is much higher than marrying an ordinary woman. I don't want to." Do something stupid like that." Sheng Kui's eyes flickered, and he said to the government driver, Old Tang: "Old Tang used to live apart from the two places for more than ten years. His wife was transferred from Linjiang County to Xicheng Elementary School the year before last. It's not easy to live apart. Director Hou was in the middle of the year. Why don't you think of a way to transfer your lover to Yiyang?" Old Tang didn't know the meaning of Sheng Kui's digression, and said casually: "It's not worth it to transfer from Shazhou to Yiyang. Just a Shazhou household registration is worth more than 10,000 yuan." Sheng Kui followed the topic and said: "Director Hou is young and promising. If he is transferred to Shazhou with Secretary Zhu, he will be the county leader after a few years. Why worry about small things like household registration?" Hou Weidong heard that Sheng Kui had made a big turn before he got to the point, and said in a perfunctory way: "Sheng Kui is very close to Ma Youcai, but there is a reason why he can't even get a deputy director. In the government How can there be no city government at all in office work, using this method to test the situation is too substandard." At 9:30, Zhu Yan and Ma Youcai finished their dinner and drank only half of a bottle of Wuliangye.The two walked out of the room with smiles. Ma Youcai stretched out his hand, shook Zhu Yan tightly, and said: "The day after tomorrow, the whole county will hold a heart-to-heart meeting, which is also a mobilization meeting for Xinyiyang Construction. After the meeting , Yiyang will let go of his arms and do a big job, and the county party committee's decision will be strictly implemented by the government." After getting into the car, Zhu Yan was a little silent, speechless all the way.Hou Weidong habitually chose silence. During the period of following Zhu Yan, Hou Weidong met many people, learned a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, gradually mastered the rhythm of the officialdom.Rhythm is something that cannot be seen or touched. It cannot be expressed in words but can only be felt.In Yiyang County, following the top leader of the county party committee was obviously the easiest way to be influenced, and he saw that Sheng Kui's impetuousness just showed his progress. At the gate of the building, Zhu Yan took the handbag, and suddenly said: "You sent Zhu Mei a laptop, more than ten thousand?" Hou Weidong nodded without denying it, just said: "I heard that Zhu Mei is very happy. I have a talent for drawing, and the computer is a drawing tool, which is very useful.” Zhu Yan glanced at Hou Weidong with his sharp eyes, which seemed to see through all his internal organs.Hou Weidong remained calm and did not explain too much. He knew in his heart: "Zhu Yan is a sensible person, and a sensible person does not need to talk nonsense." Sure enough, Zhu Yan's eyes softened quickly, and he patted Hou Weidong in a rare way. shoulder, turned and went upstairs. On Sunday, Xiaojia was going back to Shanghai. Hou Weidong asked Zhu Yan for a leave of absence. He drove the Bluebird back to Shazhou and booked the plane ticket at 6 p.m. in advance. At Xiaojia's parents' home, Chen Qingrong began to busy herself when her daughter was about to leave. She is a worker, and she has been in contact with hard iron objects for a long time. She is not good at expressing her inner feelings, and she is about to go out to buy vegetables, but Xiao Jia said: "Mom, we don't eat at home, we have something at noon, we have to eat outside. " Chen Qingrong's mood became gloomy, and she put the vegetable basket back into the kitchen, saying: "When you come to Shanghai alone, you should pay attention to your health and don't stay up late at night." Hou Weidong said: "When the spring opens next year, Mom and Dad can go to Shanghai for a while. You have never been to Shanghai, and Shanghai has changed rapidly in the past few years." Xiao Jia curled her lips, disdainful of Hou Weidong's statement, and said: "Mom and Dad have never been to Shanghai, so they won't be able to see the changes no matter how big they are." Looking at Xiaojia's expression, Hou Weidong understood that he was blaming himself for not going to Shanghai. Several people chatted in the living room, Xiaojia called Chen Qingrong to the back room, she took two stacks of RMB from the Kun bag, and said: "Mom, don't save us, buy more chicken, duck and fish, and eat less fatty pork .Let Dad go out for a walk every day, don't stay at home all the time. The house bought by Xinyue Building for you has also been renovated, open the windows, and you can move in after two months." Chen Qingrong is used to living in the family's house in the factory area. The upstairs and downstairs are all in the same unit. After leaving the house, everyone can stand on the stairs and chat for a long time, saying: "There are no acquaintances in the Xinyue Building, and there is no one to talk to. " Xiao Jia persuaded: "After living for a long time, you will become familiar with it. The facilities in Xinyue Building are complete, which are much better than this old building." Chen Qingrong said again: "It's far away from the market, so it's not convenient at all." Xiaojia saw that her mother was nostalgic for the old house, so she stopped trying to persuade her, and said, "Anyway, the house is finished, and you can live wherever you want." At 11 o'clock, the two went downstairs, drove straight to the Crescent Building, and stopped in front of the Water, Land and Air Restaurant outside the Crescent Building. In the private room, I ordered water, land, and air dishes, and ordered a bottle of high-quality Wuliangye, and the young couple chatted.After waiting for a while, Su Mingjun, Zhao Xiu and Su Tanger walked in.When Xiao Jia didn't go to Shanghai to study, Zhao Xiu liked to bring Su Tang'er over on weekends to play. They often played mahjong and Su Tang'er watched TV alone, so Su Tang'er and Xiao Jia were very familiar, and she was very affectionate. He warmly greeted Xiao Jia and sat between Xiao Jia and Hou Weidong. Zhao Xiu and Xiao Jia have long been close friends in the boudoir, she looked at the young couple and said with a smile: "Su Tang'er, why are you so ignorant, come sit here quickly." Xiao Jia didn't leave, everyone was happy, so Zhao Xiu gave up. Su Mingjun was wearing a leather jacket with a long fur collar, which is the most popular men's clothing in Shazhou.The air conditioner was on in the room, and he took off his leather jacket. Inside was a peach-neck sweater with a neat bow tie.He took the bottle and said, "Xiao Jia is on the plane at 6:00 p.m. You have to drive to Lingxi later. For safety's sake, don't drink." Zhao Xiu said from the side: "This Spring Festival, your Brother Su got drunk several times. It is not easy for Xiao Hou to be the leader's secretary. The alcohol is free, and a bottle of juice will nourish his stomach." Xiao Jia and Su Tang'er applauded this proposal. Su Mingjun is the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. He has the characteristics of an organization cadre. "This time, the Municipal Party Committee Office, the Government Office, the Organization Department, and the Propaganda Department all transferred some people from various counties and bureaus. The Organization Department transferred two people, and one of them was Guo Lan from the Organization Department of Yiyang. Some departments Taking the opportunity to overschedule and transfer people, Secretary Jiang pointed out this issue twice at the meeting, and made it clear that no matter who the relationship is, no people can be transferred to Shazhou this year." Zhao Xiu said from the side: "Xiao Hou, it's a pity that you didn't transfer up. This year, so many people have been transferred up, and it will be difficult to move in the future." Hou Weidong held up his juice cup and said, "Thank you Minister Su for your concern. Last year, the Ji Standing Committee was promoted to deputy secretary, and there was a shortage of people in the committee. I am really embarrassed to mention the transfer at this time." After lunch, Hou Weidong and Xiao Jia went back to Xinyue Building to pack their belongings.As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Jia hugged Hou Weidong tightly and said, "Let's go take a shower." Hou Weidong raised his wrist to look at his watch, but Xiao Jia whispered in his ear, "It's still early, there's still time." Hou Weidong understood, and said: "Quick battle and quick decision." Xiao Jia pinched Hou Weidong hard and said, "We must ensure the quality, and we must not be careless." At Lingxi Airport, Xiao Jia passed the security check, and his figure slowly disappeared. Hou Weidong's heart seemed to be emptied. He sat in the airport lobby, silently watching people coming and going.Xiaojia thought for a while, and his thoughts turned to Yiyang's political situation: "Now Yiyang has a harmonious government, and the secretary and the county magistrate join hands to seek common cause, but this alliance is too fragile and will fall apart at any time." Then he thought again, " I'm just the deputy director of the county party committee office, and I can't decide the overall situation, so what's the use of thinking so much? When I follow Secretary Zhu to Shazhou City, I won't have to worry about Yiyang's troubled waters." After sitting in the airport lobby for more than half an hour, Hou Weidong regained his mood and was about to get up. When he looked up, he saw Ma Youcai standing at the exit of the terminal hall with Gui Gang, director of finance. Ma Youcai kept looking at his watch.Gui Gang, the director of the government office, was recently transferred to be the director of the Finance Bureau. Zhu Yan nodded at this transfer. As for the director of the government office, there was no suitable candidate for the time being, so it was temporarily vacant. Hou Weidong knew that Ma Youcai must be picking up someone, so he picked up the newspaper folder beside him to cover his face, secretly watching Ma Youcai from time to time.About ten minutes later, another group of people came out of the airport in a single file. Ma Youcai stretched his neck and looked in. This further increased Hou Weidong's curiosity. He hid himself in the crowd waiting for the plane and played a guest role as a spy.Suddenly, both Ma Youcai and Gui Gang became excited. Ma Youcai stretched out his hand, and his straight waist also bent down.Liu Bing, the new mayor of Shazhou, suddenly appeared in the crowd. He shook hands with Ma Youcai and shook them vigorously.When shaking hands with Gui Gang, it was just superficial. Surrounded by Ma Youcai and others, Liu Bing and his group left the parking lot, and three Audi cars and a Crown slid silently in front of them.Hou Weidong's heart skipped a beat. This time, Zhu Yan paid a courtesy visit to Shazhou Mayor Liu Bing. Hou Weidong knew that Zhu Yan and Liu Bing did not have a close relationship. Judging from today's posture, Ma Youcai seemed to be He is quite familiar with Liu Bing. Watching the Audi slide away, Hou Weidong put the newspaper clip on the return column, walked out quickly, and quickly got on his blue bird.There were still about 20 kilometers from the airport to Lingxi City, Hou Weidong speeded up, overtaking all the way, and soon saw the Audi team with emergency lights on in front. Hou Weidong recalled his experience after buying the car again, and confirmed that the drivers of Ma Youcai and Gui Gang had never seen the Bluebird with Shazhou license plate, so they followed the convoy leisurely.Entering the main city of Lingxi, looking at their driving direction, according to Hou Weidong's intuition, Liu Bing and the others must live in the best five-star hotel in Lingxi - Jinxing Hotel.Sure enough, after entering Lingxi City, Liu Bing's convoy headed straight for the Venus Hotel. Hou Weidong then drove the car to the front of the hotel, and a well-dressed waiter came to help park the car.Hou Weidong hesitated for a while, and thought: "It's no fun to follow like this. It would be embarrassing if Ma Youcai ran into him by accident." He waved to the waiter and left the Jinxing Hotel. Driving on the wide road, pedestrians wiped the windows and passed by.Thinking back to the scene of Ma Youcai and Liu Bing walking out of the airport terminal, Hou Weidong secretly said: "If Ma Youcai and Liu Bing really have an unusual relationship, Yiyang's situation will be complicated." He thought again, " Zhou Changquan is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he is the top leader in Shazhou. Even if Ma Youcai and Liu Bing have a good relationship, Zhu and Ma will have the upper hand in the game, and Secretary Zhu should have the upper hand. You should disclose what you saw today to Secretary Zhu, so that he can feel it in his heart. There are also a few." When driving to the suburbs of Shazhou, I received a call from my eldest brother Hou Weiguo. On the phone, Hou Weiguo was depressed, and Jiang Chu's sharp voice was heard in his ears. Entering Shazhou City at 9 o'clock in the evening, Hou Weidong drove directly to Tingyuexuan. After entering the store, I asked for a small table in the corner, ordered a few home-cooked dishes, opened two bottles of Red Star Erguotou, and waited for my eldest brother Hou Weiguo. After a while, there was a sound of brakes outside the door. Hou Weiguo entered the door with air-conditioning. He sat down in front of the small table, put the car keys aside casually, and said, "Xiaojia went back to Shanghai?" "Well, I heard you arguing with your sister-in-law on the phone just now." Hou Weiguo looked frustrated, and said: "Your sister-in-law has been completely harmed by pyramid schemes. She has been fighting with me at home for the past two days. She is going to resign to do pyramid schemes." Hou Weidong always sneered at pyramid schemes, saying: "My sister-in-law has been a teacher since she came out of the normal school, she has not had much contact with the society, her thoughts are simple, her ears are very soft, she is easy to trust her, you should persuade her more." "Now your sister-in-law is completely poisoned and brainwashed by pyramid schemes. No matter how much I persuade her, she won't listen to her at all. The principal of the school knows me very well, and he specifically called her to say that her lesson preparation was not serious and the quality of her lessons had declined." The more Hou Weiguo talked, the more angry he became, "When we first fell in love, she looked like a little bird, how could she become like this!" After chatting with Jiang Chu for a while, the two brothers felt that the ideological problem was not easy to solve.Thinking of meeting Liu Bing by chance today, Hou Weidong asked casually, "What do you think of Liu Bing?" Hou Weiguo had a good impression of Liu Bing, and said: "Mayor Liu is very courageous. The issue of improving police equipment has been raised for several years, but has not been implemented. After Mayor Liu was elected mayor, he allocated 20 million yuan to the Public Security Bureau alone. , Improve the problem of public security vehicles. "When Mayor Liu inspected the Public Security Bureau, he made clear requirements to the members of the team. For Shazhou to develop, the environment must be relaxed. The Public Security Bureau is not allowed to issue fines, and it is not allowed to go to star-rated hotels to crack down on pornography and gambling." Hou Weiguo looked at the problem from the perspective of the public security, and he felt good about the new mayor Liu Bing, but Hou Weidong, as the deputy director of the county party committee office, felt that things should not be seen on the surface. He thought about Liu Bing and Ma Youcai walking out of the waiting hall together. The scene fell into deep thought. Monday morning was busy as usual, and Hou Weidong never found the right time to report to Zhu Yan what he saw at the waiting airport.Reporting this kind of thing should not be a too formal occasion, and it can only be discussed as it stands. At 10:30, the county party secretary Zhu Yan, the deputy secretary in charge of the organization, Ji Haiyang, and the head of the organization, Lao Liu, were closing their doors to study personnel issues. A phone call was made directly to Zhu Yan's confidential mobile phone. Zhu Yan looked at the number and said, "Wait a while." Then he went into the back room. "Old Zhu, I'm Huang Zidi. That day, Lao Kong was so screwed up by you that he was so drunk that he was hospitalized, and you were yelling to drink beer at night. Lao Kong will not dare to fight with you in the future." Zhu Yan knew that the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee was in Called on Monday morning, there must be something important, but he didn't ask, just waited for Huang Zidi to say. After a few jokes, Huang Zidi got to the point and said, "Old Zhu, Mayor Liu is coming to Yiyang this week. He is a leader from the province. He is well-informed. You must prepare carefully. Especially A few main indicators must be remembered accurately. Several department leaders couldn’t remember the main data of the departments they were in charge of, and Mayor Liu got angry on the spot, mercilessly, and made several leaders unable to step down.” Zhu Yan said: "Then I have to prepare well, thank the Secretary-General." But he said in his heart: "Huang Zidi is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary-General. What does he mean by saying this? It seems that there is another meaning in his tone. "This level of meaning cannot be pierced, it all depends on comprehension. Zhu Yan became the secretary of the county party committee after passing five passes and beating six generals. Naturally, his comprehension ability is not bad. Another real thing. "Mayor Liu's visit to Yiyang needs to be notified by the city government, as long as you know it. He has asked the city government office that no matter which department he visits, he can only issue a notice one day in advance at most." Hang up the phone Huang Zidi said again, "He probably wants to have a private conversation with you, so it can be regarded as a private investigation." After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yan pondered Huang Zidi's words over and over again. When he was in Lingxi Province during the Spring Festival, he got an accurate message: "Liu Bing has the support of a big leader behind him." At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Hou Weidong brought in Zhu Yan's speech materials. Seeing that Zhu Yan's teacup was empty, he took it to the water dispenser to refill the water. He said in a very ordinary voice: "I sent Xiaojia to the airport yesterday. When we arrived, County Mayor Ma and Director Gui met Mayor Liu Bing at the airport." Hou Weidong spoke lightly, but Zhu Yan asked seriously: "The two of them are picking up Mayor Liu at the airport, is there anyone else?" "It should be. Including Mayor Liu Bing's entourage, they have a total of four cars. I still remember the license plate numbers of County Mayor Ma and Director Gui." Zhu Yan put the pen on the table and said, "Please invite Minister Liu over, I have something to talk to him about." In the personnel list brought by Lao Liu of the Organization Department just now, Shengkui, the general department of the county government office, was originally on the list, and he was going to be promoted to the deputy director of the county government office. Ji Haiyang has been the director of the county party committee office for many years, and he doesn't like Sheng Kui very much. In addition, during the Spring Festival this time, Sheng Kui was playing cards and betting money with others in a teahouse, and was accidentally met by the Chengguan Police Station.At that time, Sheng Kui was drunk and had a dispute with the policeman on duty. It happened that the policeman was a new student in the police school and was very upright, so he insisted on bringing Sheng Kui back to the police station. It was Ji Haiyang who was on duty at the time, and he knew about it. This time when discussing personnel issues, he clearly expressed his opposition to Sheng Kui's appointment. Zhu Yan hesitated in order to take care of Ma Youcai's face.此时，由于有新情况，就得重新考虑这个问题。
