When he went to deliver the plaque to the door of the Provincial Party Committee during the day, although Yuan Dapeng also followed him, Xiao Han was not conspicuous among a group of middle-aged and elderly people with high official authority. In addition, in the atmosphere of the barbecue stall, no one would think so. A senior official at the provincial and ministerial level would come to visit, so Yuan Dapeng only saw that Xiao Han looked familiar and didn't take it seriously, just treating him as a guest who had been here before.
Yuan Dapeng's business is now booming. At first, because he looked really fierce and had a criminal record, people didn't dare to patronize him. Later, after Lei Mingjie, a little old lady, was dedicated to receiving customers, people There are more things here. When you eat the food here, well, put aside the unskilled ones first. Just in terms of the authenticity of the ingredients, it is very rare. Therefore, the business is getting better and better day by day. Now, the small If the old lady doesn't come, no one will stop coming here because of Yuan Dapeng's bearish appearance.
Since business has gotten better and people are no longer afraid of his appearance, Yuan Dapeng's self-feeling has gradually improved. When he sees a customer, and he looks like an old customer, Yuan Dapeng hurries over to do business. Xiao Han led the three of them to a rectangular dining table and said with a big smile: "What do you guys want to eat?"
"Hmm I want to eat bear paws." Xiao Xiao saw that Yuan Dapeng looked really fierce, so she was not afraid of this, so she joked at Yuan Dapeng.
"Hey, even if I have to chop these two, how can I bake them for you after I chop them off?" Business was good, and naturally he was in a good mood. Knowing that this pretty girl was just teasing him, Yuan Dapeng was not angry and answered with a smile.
"Ten meat skewers, ten brittle bones and ribs, and" Xiao Han looked at the things on the case over there. It was already this month, so naturally there was no such thing as snails. He hesitated for a moment. I don't even know what to ask for.
"Old customer, the roasted leg of lamb here is very good. Now there are only a few left. Would you like two?" Seeing that Xiao Han couldn't make up his mind for a moment, Yuan Dapeng quickly recommended.
"Okay, just two legs of lamb"! Xiao Han nodded quickly.
There were only three of us, and we didn¡¯t order much food. Yuan Dapeng agreed and went to work at the oven.
"Xiao Lu, it's getting cold, let's have some white wine"! Xiao Luda has a good drinking capacity. Although he rarely drinks because of driving, Xiao Han decided to make an exception for him today, just don't drink too much.
After ordering a large bottle of sorghum, Xiao Han and Xiao Lu shared one cup each. Xiao Xiao ordered a bottle of drink and poured it into the wine glass. He accompanied them with a smile. Soon, the meat skewers came. , the three of them were eating meat skewers, drinking wine, and talking about interesting things.
The weather is not unbearably cold yet, so most of the people eating at the barbecue stalls are spending their time. There are so many people talking, so naturally some loud voices are inevitable, and there are also women who smile openly. To add excitement from time to time, in such an environment, Xiao Han simply put aside all his worries and just enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Unfortunately, sometimes it cannot be changed by personal will. Just after Xiao Han drank half a cup of sorghum, the mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly. In this era, not all people use mobile phones, but usually Currently, people who can afford mobile phones are those with some wealth or status. Such people rarely come to barbecue stalls to eat. Therefore, after the ringtone of the mobile phone rang, the voices of joking suddenly fell silent. Xiao Han quickly took out the phone and hid aside to answer it.
Due to technical reasons, even though mobile phones have made great progress compared to those in another time and space, they still do not have the caller ID function. However, due to scarcity, there is no risk of harassing calls or anything like that. Xiao Han came to On the other hand, he pressed the answer button.
"Is it Xiaohan?" When the call was connected, an old but powerful voice came from the receiver.
"Ah, I am, why did you call me?" Xiao Han listened to this familiar voice and had mixed feelings in his heart It seemed that it had been some time since this old man had contacted him. Although Xiao Han had been mentally prepared before the article was published, he How can the relationship between you and Mr. Zheng be represented by political harmony? You must know that Xiao Han's feelings for Mr. Zheng are derived from the fusion of experiences in two time and space. It is a complex emotion formed by a combination of worship, reverence and admiration!
"As people get older, they sleep less and less, and they can't fall asleep. How about I call you for a chat? Well, I heard that you are outside now"? Mr. Zheng smiled kindly and said to Xiao Han.
"Well, I'm outside and brought Xiao Xiao to have barbecue." Xiao Han told the truth.
"Oh? Hehehehe", Mr. Zheng was shocked for a moment, and then laughed. With his wisdom, he naturally would not think that Xiao Han was a heartless guy who was still in the mood to make such a big mistake. Eat barbecue and relax, "In the past, even though you were completely motivated, there was also suspicion on the Standing Committee. When the Anti-Corruption Bureau came out, some people commented that you had deep intentions. As soon as what happened today came out "Although we had different views before, we have reached a consensus after this incident, and no one can doubt your public conscience!"
"Uncle Zheng" Even if Xiao Han's heart is as solid as a rock, after hearing this husband's fair evaluation at this moment, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes and his voice choked up.
"I have no other meaning in calling you. Although I know that you are honest and have made the final decision, I also know your character. If such a big incident happens this time, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the current reforms. Influence, so, if nothing else, at least you little guy will feel guilty towards me, an old man" Mr. Zheng had already understood Xiao Han's temper and temperament clearly, "In addition to the previous I did have some misunderstandings about you for a while, and I didn't bother to talk to you for several days, so you must have some resentment towards me in your heart, right?"
"No, I'm not resentful, I'm just a little aggrieved" Although Xiao Han was not in front of Mr. Zheng, he was still a little embarrassed and ashamed. How could he hide his little thoughts from the wise old man? It seems that the reason why I have been cheated on myself for so many days not long ago is not necessarily a misunderstanding of myself, but maybe I have some serious thoughts."
"Okay, I know you are wronged. Didn't my old man take the initiative to call you and talk nonsense?"
"How dare I ask you to talk nonsense to me?" Xiao Han said quickly.
"Huh, what else do you dare not do? I don't ask about your affairs. Why did you come to my house earlier? I haven't invited you before. Could it be that you eat my food and bite the top of my chopsticks? Less? As you get older and get promoted to an official position, your reputation has also grown! You still have grievances, but what about me? Your aunt has never nagged me before!" Good guy, he was gentle at first, but he was just building momentum. Then the old man's unceremonious lessons came over there. However, listening to these nagging and lessons that were no different from ordinary old people, Xiao Han felt warm in his heart. Yes, he was giggling, but his empty heart was instantly filled.
Just standing on the side of the road, listening to the nagging talk of the old man on the other side, even if it was just some household chores, even if it was just some complaints with his family, Xiao Han couldn't get enough of it. It has been more than ten years. , coupled with the admiration he had in his previous life, Xiao Han's feelings for Mr. Zheng are probably similar to those of his grandparents.
"This should be a lesson. As the reform deepens and the economic environment becomes more and more relaxed, some people will naturally not be able to resist the temptation of money. In the past, although anti-corruption was repeatedly mentioned, in the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the work It has not been implemented. Liao Province has sounded the alarm to the whole country this time You don¡¯t need to consider the negative impacts. No matter what, the central government¡¯s determination to implement and deepen reforms will not change. However, you can do it for me. You have made such a big noise and caused such an impact. Don't think about taking it easy. The impact you have to find a way to save it for me! I don't care if you are embarrassed or not. The flaw has been exposed, so you have to use more force. Come and make up for my grades!" With the tempers of the old and the young, how could there be so much homely things to talk about? It didn't take long for Mr. Zheng to return to serious matters. His tone was as if he was lecturing a junior, but the meaning behind it could not be ignored by Xiao Han.
"Well, I will definitely use better results and positive influence to recover the losses caused by negative influence"! Xiao Han said firmly.
"Okay, it's time for me to go to bed. Your aunt has visited me twice, so I won't delay you and the little girl's relaxation!" Mr. Zheng hung up the phone.
Xiao Han closed the flap. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have jumped up and cheered. Just as he was about to lift his legs and walk back, the phone in his pocket rang again.
"Ah, is it Mr. Yun? It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Compared to the previous call, Xiao Han was even more flattered by Mr. Yun's call.
"I can't sleep. How can I sleep when I think about your actions over there? I just called you many times, but the line was always busy. Why, did Mr. Zheng scold you on the phone? "? Old Yun's warm voice came, and Xiao Han said quickly: "Well, I'll give the old man a scolding."
"That's for sure. Not only him, I also want to scold you. Didn't you predict that this matter would reach this level and such a huge number in advance? Don't say no, I don't believe it either. "! These old people, why do they always see things at their core?
"Well, although I had predicted it, I didn't expect it to be so many. It was more than expected.""Nearly twice as much!" Xiao Han said his unintentional words with great sincerity.
"You still hid something, but the numbers are beyond your expectations. I still believe this. Well, I don't like to speak tactfully. I'm just calling you to tell you that it's not terrible to reveal the truth. At the same time, this It's not your responsibility, so don't have any worries. Just do whatever you plan to do. If there is a basket like this in the future, then you should take care of it. We all Old Bones is still here, you have your backing!"
Unlike Mr. Zheng, Mr. Yun¡¯s conversation with Xiao Han was much shorter and more direct. Because he didn¡¯t have a normal conversation with Xiao Han, he had already expressed his intention and hung up the phone in just a few minutes.
Compared with receiving a call from Mr. Zheng, Xiao Han was moved by Mr. Yun's call, but it was much less moved. However, it was not difficult for Xiao Han to get information from the two phone calls. It seemed that he was making trouble this time. Unification has been reached above. No matter what kind of compromise this unification is, one thing is certain, that is, in a short period of time, I will be unable to leave Liao Province.
Thinking about this, Xiao Han slowly walked towards where Xiao Xiao and the others were. But who knew that in this short journey, Xiao Han actually received more than a dozen calls one after another, so that these few The walking distance took more than half an hour!
The calls come from all walks of life, including Xiao Xu's and his father Xiao Guohua's. These are all relatives, and the calls are just to comfort him. There are more or less people on Xiao Xu's phone who are on the other end of the phone from Mr. Xu. Unlike others, Mr. Xu is not worried about any negative effects. Instead, he unconditionally supports Xiao Han¡¯s anti-corruption efforts. The reason for this is also the same as what Xiao Han and Mr. Xu once said. They have been together for two years and are inseparable. Unlike some people who always have doubts about Xiao Han, this old man has long recognized and recognized Xiao Han's sincerity.
Afterwards, even Chen Xiaoshan made a special call. Of course, his main purpose was to get the news. After all, he and Xiao Han had been very close in the past few years, but he was afraid that Xiao Han would get in trouble this time. It was too big, which made the central government feel taboo. In that case, he and his father would have to make plans in advance.
After Xiao Han finished dealing with these calls, when he came back to the dining table, Xiao Xiao had already been pouting for a long time.
¡°It¡¯s already cold¡±! The little girl pointed at the meat skewers and lamb legs and said.
¡°Can you ask the boss to warm it up a little bit more?¡± Xiao Han looked at the little girl flatteringly, saying that he was here to accompany the little girl, but he was on the phone for nearly an hour. No wonder the little girl was unhappy.
¡°It¡¯s been heated once. If you heat it again, it will become dried meat!¡±
"It's okay, doesn't dried meat make you hungry?" Xiao Han said kind words to Xiaoyi and asked Yuan Dapeng to heat the meat skewers again. It was just as the little girl said. The meat on the lamb leg that had been heated several times became dry.
"Brother, here, this is one I saved for myself to eat. I'll give it to you too. There's really nothing left to eat with the two you ordered!" Yuan Dapeng was also free at this time, walked over with a freshly roasted leg of lamb and said.
"Well, thank you, Xiao Xiao, now, I won't give this to anyone, it belongs to you"! Xiao Han took the leg of lamb with a smile and handed it to Xiao Xiao.
"Brother, the one you were holding just now is a mobile phone, right? It's quite exquisite. I've seen many people use this thing, but I've never seen one as small as yours!" After all, Yuan Dapeng is still a young man, and he is inevitably curious about new things. However, in the circle he comes into contact with, no one can afford to use a mobile phone. By chance, he saw Xiao Han using it, and it was something he had never seen before. It¡¯s so exquisite that I can¡¯t help but want to come over and take a look.
"Haha, it's just a phone. It's small and it doesn't matter. It's just easy to hold." Xiao Han had a good impression of this fierce-looking boss. He knew that he wanted to take a look, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he took out the phone. came out and handed it to him.
"Oh, this is the first time I have held this precious thing in my hand and looked at it"! Yuan Dapeng quickly rubbed his hands that were not stolen on his apron, and carefully took the phone. The delicate phone looked even more delicate in his hands that were like bear paws.
"Brother! How beautiful are these precious things? Return them to others quickly and don't damage them by being clumsy!" His sister Yuanyuan also relaxed quickly, and then she had time to come out of the simple hut. When she saw her brother taking the mobile phone from Xiao Han's hand, she quickly called over there.
"It doesn't matter, this thing is actually quite solid"! Xiao Han smiled nonchalantly.
Yuanyuan just said that. In fact, she was also curious. She walked closer and leaned next to her brother to see the novelty.
"Dapeng, how is business today?" At this moment, Lei Mingjie's little old lady's voice came over. Xiao Han turned around and saw the little old lady standing on the roadside pushing an exquisite bicycle.
"ah"! Lei Mingjie saw Xiao Han at a glance. After exclaiming, she suppressed herself. As Xiao Han, coming here was more or less like a private visit. She didn't want to ruin the young governor's life. keen interest.
"Aunt Lei! Did you just get off work?" Originally, they had great respect for Lei Mingjie, but this time Lei Mingjie relieved the hatred of the people in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so when they met her, the attitude of the Yuan Dapeng brother and sister was more respectful.
"Well, I have too many things on hand. I don't have time to visit you these days. How is the business?" Lei Mingjie put down the bicycle ladder and walked to the stall tiredly. After sitting on a bench, she deliberately ignored Xiao Han and asked Yuan Dapeng.
"Aunt Lei, you are so busy and still thinking about uslook how tired you are? Don't worry, business is going well!" Yuanyuan felt distressed when she saw Lei Mingjie was so tired, and moved behind Lei Mingjie, kneading Lei Mingjie's shoulders with her hands, and said in a low voice.
"As long as the business is good, it's good. I seem to have to give up my words. I really don't have time to come to your side"! Lei Mingjie laughed and said to Yuan Dapeng: "By the way, I happen to have a colleague whose house is vacant, not far from here. I told him that you can go and live there!"
"That's right! That's great, Aunt Lei, thank you. What kind of house is it? Where's the rent?" After all, she was still a child. When Yuanyuan heard that she had a house, she happily asked questions.
"The house is an old house. It used to be that my colleague's parents lived here. His parents moved back to their hometown in the countryside a few months ago, so the house became vacant. It is a small bungalow with four houses in the front and back. Those two rooms are a bit small, but they are enough for your home, right? The rent is not much, it costs sixty yuan a month. If you can like it, I would like to say that it will be cheaper. After all, it is empty. It¡¯s also empty.¡±
