Because Du Chunhua wanted to invite Zhou Tianhao to dinner, Kong Youquan also made a decision to postpone his return home for a day. Although he said he might leave here soon, in any case, Du Chunhua was also his benefactor. What is important in officialdom is However, Zhou Tianhao disagreed and asked Kong Youquan to go home. There was not much time to go home in a year. Besides, Du Chunhua invited himself to dinner and did not invite anyone else. He also wanted the two of them to get together alone. Kong Youquan If you want to pay New Year greetings to Du Chunhua, you need to go alone. When the two of them go to dinner together, it will be difficult to talk about many things. After Kong Youquan thought about it, he thought it made sense. I'm afraid he wanted to leave here, so it didn't matter. However, Kong Youquan still said , came back on the second day of the first lunar month, mainly because Bingqian had a child at home, which was not very interesting. The Spring Festival in the county town cannot be compared with that in big cities. There are basically no entertainment activities, and children cannot stay.
Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Kong Youquan drove off in an off-road vehicle and took Zhou Tianjie and Kong Weikun away. Before leaving, Zhou Tianjie repeatedly said that he would be back a day later to spend time with Xiang Lin.
Zhou Tianhao is also very tight on time when he returns home this time. New Year greetings are indispensable, and he will definitely go to relatives' homes. Moreover, after this Spring Festival, his parents are likely to go to Jianghan City, and they may not have much time to come back. I must have spent the Spring Festival in Jianghan City, so this time I will go to relatives¡¯ homes to pay New Year greetings.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Du Chunhua called again and said that he was hosting a banquet for Zhou Tianhao at noon. The venue was arranged in the hotel. During the Spring Festival, other restaurants would not be open. The hotel had been notified in advance and specially prepared it. A table.
Reservations for Spring Festival reunion dinners have already appeared in Jianghan City. Many families don't want to cook, so they book a banquet in a hotel and have a family reunion dinner in the hotel. But in the small county town of his hometown, this kind of business has not yet started. Everyone is accustomed to having family reunion dinner at home during the Spring Festival. Zhou Tianhao also knows that a few years later, the same will happen in his hometown. No one can stop the tide of market economy.
Naturally, the family went to eat.
The county town is not big. Zhou Tianhao, Xiang Lin and Bing Qian slowly walked to the hotel.
At the door of the restaurant, a young man is waiting. Seeing Zhou Tianhao come in, he quickly stepped forward and introduced himself, saying that he was Mayor Du's secretary and was waiting for Director Zhou here.
Entering the private room, Zhou Tianhao was a little dumbfounded. Except for Du Chunhua, the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate in his hometown. Everyone including the organization director was present. Du Chunhua shook hands with Zhou Tianhao first, followed by the county party committee secretary, county magistrate, organization director and others.
Before Zhou Tianhao could speak, everyone took out their red envelopes and handed them to Bing Qian.
Bingqian looked at Zhou Tianhao, and when her father nodded, she was not polite. She said thank you in her mouth, and took the red envelope with a smile. Everyone praised her. Said that children are so cute.
Du Chunhua was very proud. He first made a statement to Xiang Lin, saying that Zhou Tianhao was the pride of his hometown and he would definitely have a good drink after he came back. Brothers and sisters, please don't complain. In such an occasion, Xiang Lin also knew that it was impossible not to drink, and it was impossible to drink too little, so she didn't say anything.
A bottle of Moutai was placed in front of everyone.
The atmosphere at the meal was very lively, but when everyone was chatting, the focus was still on Du Chunhua. After all, Zhou Tianhao worked in another province. If it weren't for Du Chunhua's face, the county party committee secretary and county magistrate would not have participated. In this regard, Zhou Tianhao also He fully understood that while drinking, he took the initiative to target Du Chunhua.
Du Chunhua was in a good mood and would not refuse anyone who came. Zhou Tianhao also knew that Du Chunhua was a good drinker.
After each person drank a bottle of Moutai, Du Chunhua waved and asked the waiter to bring him a bottle of Moutai, and took the initiative to toast Zhou Tianhao. This time, everyone present toasted to Zhou Tianhao. Fortunately, the wine glasses in the hotel were not very big. Zhou Tianhao, who was in a relaxed mood, did not feel drunk. He was a little surprised that he didn't feel drunk after drinking so much wine.
Two hours later, the banquet was over. In fact, no one had much to eat. During the Spring Festival, there was not much to eat. In addition, our daily life was getting better, so no one looked forward to the Spring Festival to improve their lives.
After the meal, the county leaders all left. Du Chunhua¡¯s family had long moved to the city. He was an old leader here and was very familiar with everyone, so he didn¡¯t need too many polite words.
Du Chunhua suggested that he and Zhou Tianhao go for a walk on the street. On the first day of the first lunar month, there were very few people on the street. Many cadres and workers in the county went home to celebrate the New Year. Many people working in county-level units, In fact, my family is all in the countryside. In recent years, it has become inevitable for your village to surround the city. People who were born and raised in the county town are less likely to work.?That's a lot.
"Director Zhou, I still want to thank you."
At the wine table, Du Chunhua didn't mention anything about this matter. Presumably no one in the county really knew about Du Chunhua's relationship, let alone thought that Du Chunhua's promotion was inextricably related to Zhou Tianhao, let alone Zhou Tianhao. As mentioned, this is Du Chunhua's ability.
"Mayor Du, you're welcome, I don't have that much ability. This is all the result of your own efforts."
"Stop talking about this, just keep it in mind. You work out of town. This year the county is planning to create an address book. The main purpose is to see who is working out of town in the county. We need to have a harmonious relationship. This is a small place. The leaders of the county reported this matter. I think it is very necessary. This relationship still needs to be established. The county may have to hold a ceremony by then. Also, it is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the county No. 1 Middle School. It¡¯s a celebration. I don¡¯t know if you have time then. If you do, I hope you can participate. I know you are very busy with work.¡±
"Mayor Du has arranged it. I will definitely make time to participate. No. 1 Middle School is my alma mater. I have to come back to see the 60th anniversary of Daqing."
The two of them walked and chatted, and gradually, Du Chunhua began to talk about his own feelings.
"Director Zhou, I can't compare with you. I have always worked at the grassroots level, from the countryside to the county, and from the county to the city. I am used to doing things according to the requirements from above. When it comes to doing this, in the township and county, The problems were not big, but when we got to the city, the situation was different. The above policies and requirements were basically principled. When I first started working in the city, I was in charge of transportation, so I was still a little anxious. I led the team several times. I went out for inspection and study, and even thought about going to Chunshan City again. I was afraid of causing trouble to you, so I didn¡¯t go. I¡¯ve already been in trouble once. I¡¯m sorry to go all the time. I just said that I¡¯m a deputy, working in the city and county. It¡¯s all different here.¡±
Zhou Tianhao's heart skipped a beat. When Du Chunhua mentioned these feelings in front of him, he did not say them casually. This may be to impart his own understanding. I am afraid Du Chunhua also thinks that he, Zhou Tianhao, will go to the city in a short time. Already working.
"It goes without saying that when doing things in the township, you just have to do it according to the requirements of the superiors. Here, it is basically impossible for the township to do big things. The main reason is that there is no funds, so you can't do things. The county is the financial source of food. , it is impossible to have a lot of money to carry out large-scale construction, and it is better to be in the county. Even the deputy county magistrate in charge does not have much funds at his disposal. If it is allocated, it will be like spreading pepper. Without money, it¡¯s impossible to get anything done.¡±
"When you work in the city, the feeling is completely different. The management is bigger. If you have a sense of responsibility and always think about the results of the area you are in charge of, then you need to calm down and work down-to-earth. When doing things, we not only follow the unified requirements above, but we also need to constantly think about it, combine it with the actual local conditions, and carry out work creatively.¡±
"I have been the mayor for more than a year. During this time, I basically have no time to rest. Once I am responsible for all-round work, the pressure is extremely high. Enterprise restructuring is ongoing, and more and more employees are laid off. It is necessary to The jobs created are closely related to local economic development. I have tried many methods, but finally found that the only way to attract investment is to attract investment. Only when companies move in can the real solution be solved. Employment issues.¡±
"Nowadays, I often think about why the south can attract so many companies. In addition to their transportation and location advantages, are there other aspects? If we don't have such advantages here, wouldn't we be able to develop? This is definitely not possible. Yes, the work of attracting investment is very difficult, I am anxious every day"
Hearing Du Chunhua say this, Zhou Tianhao secretly admired him. Regardless of Du Chunhua's work performance, at least he thought of these things and all he thought about was work. There was no need for Du Chunhua to sing praises in front of him. The two were so far apart, and he knew It won't have much effect. Besides, Song Gonglun has already gone to work in Jiangnan Province. To a certain extent, it is impossible to help Du Chunhua.
Until about two o'clock in the afternoon, Du Chunhua got in the car and left. He talked a lot with Zhou Tianhao. The two chatted for more than an hour. Du Chunhua basically talked about work.
After Zhou Tianhao returned home, his parents had already prepared. They went to his uncle's house for dinner in the afternoon. His uncle's house was also ready. He called several times and asked when he went there. Bingqian looked at Zhou Tianhao and was very dissatisfied. , when setting off, Zhou Tianhao must hug her, and say in Zhou Tianhao¡¯s ear that the red envelope he just received contained more than 20,000 yuan, and he gave it all to his mother. Zhou Tianhao was very surprised. In total, five Red envelope, every dayThe red envelope is basically five thousand yuan, which is not a small amount of money. (To be continued.)
