gn "Liguang Tea Shop". 。It seems like this is the place. 。Xiao Zheng walked into the antique-style door, able to smell a faint fragrance wafting towards him. Immediately, a waitress in a plain cheongs...Chen Hong's reaction surprised Xiao Zheng a bit. 。As they went downstairs, Chen Hong's shoulder bag was slung over her shoulder. She held a bag in each hand, which seemed quite heavy. 。Upon seeing Xiao Zheng, Chen Hong shoved the two bags into his hands and said, "Take these. Let my parents know that you bought them." 。“That's not good, is it This was bought by you originally.” 。"Aren't you stubborn" Chen Hong playfully glanced at Xiao Zheng, "It was bought for you anyway, take it!" Xiao Zheng glanced into the two plastic bags. One large bag contained a box of "roasted duck," and the other contained a large durian. 。As they walked upwards, Chen Hong whispered in Xiao Zheng's ear: "This 'Beijing Roast Duck' was bought by a female colleague from our school from the International Grand Hotel in An County. Her sister works there as a manager." 。The chef who makes Peking duck at their hotel is said to have been hired from Beijing with a high salary, and the taste is especially authentic. 。My dad has been there twice, and every time he comes back, he says the 'Beijing Roast Duck' tastes good. 。

And this durian, is also a fruit my mom especially likes. 。This durian was transported from Hainan, and it's not easy to find fresh ones here. 。Because we already have some at home, my parents aren't too interested in the cigarettes and alcohol you used to buy. 。Xiao Zheng didn't expect Chen Hong's parents to like such high-end things. 。This is the gap between his commoner background and a family of officials. 。’s own parents, with three meals of coarse food and plain rice, were content. 。Ke Chen and Sun Wenmin apparently have higher material aspirations. 。Before, Xiao Zheng was a small clerk in the town. When he looked at Chen Guangming, his prospective father-in-law who was a senior official, he inevitably felt a sense of awe. Therefore, he always tried his best to satisfy and please them by figuring out what they liked and disliked. 。

Now, something is changing inside him.

He has daily contact with Guan Wenwei, who is also a正科 cadre and currently oversees the overall work of the town's Party Committee and government. His status in the county is no lower than that of Chen Guangming, the County Agricultural Bureau director. 。But when Xiao Zheng got to know Guan Wenwei, he didn't have the same sense of distance from him as he did with Chen Guangming. Instead, the two could call each other brothers. 。Thus, gradually, he also subconsciously felt that he didn't actually need to please Chen Guangming. 。That kind of ingratiating feeling is always not good. Even if the other party is your prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law, if they don't treat you as an important person, if you have to please them everywhere, it's too tiring. 。This kind of exhaustion is psychological, draining a tremendous amount of mental energy. Xiao Zheng gradually doesn't want to attend these types of events or deal with this kind of situation anymore. 。Perhaps it was this psychological shift that made Xiao Zheng less enthusiastic about visiting Chen Hong's parents. 。Chen Hong's parents had already heard the footsteps. Sun Wenmin opened the door early and shouted down: "Chen Hong"

Chen Hong tightened her grip on Xiao Zheng's hand and replied, "Mom, we're back" 。"Sun Wenmin said: 'Good, your father is also back, waiting for you.'" 。"Xiao Zheng, why don't you stay with me"

"I'm already coming with you." 。Chen Hong chuckled at Xiao Zheng and said, "See My mom cares about you so much!" This was the first time Xiao Zheng had heard Sun Wenmin ask him about himself on the stairs. 。Before, Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin both hoped that Xiao Zheng would not go, and it was best that Chen Hong wouldn't walk with Xiao Zheng. 。Now it seems their attitude towards him is indeed changing. 。When they reached the door, Chen Hong deliberately said, "Mom and Dad, look what Xiao Zheng brought for you" Sun Wenmin took the things from Xiao Zheng's hands. At a glance, she smiled and said, "Beijing roast duck and durian These are the things my husband and I like most! Chen Hong, this must be what you asked Xiao Zheng to buy, right Next time, don't let Xiao Zheng spend so much money!"

Chen Hong smiled and said, "I just mentioned it to Xiao Zheng, and he went to arrange it. I can't help it..." 。。"Xiao Zheng, did you specially go there and buy them"

Seeing the joy in Chen Guangming's eyes, Xiao Zheng felt a little strange. After all, these weren't bought by himself, but he couldn't deny it to embarrass Chen Hong, so he had to say: "Yes" 。Chen Guangming said: "Xiao Zheng has a good heart." 。Here, the wine is already poured. 。The two bottles of wine had indeed been opened and were placed on the table, one bottle of Moutai liquor and one bottle of red wine. 。Sun Wenmin said: "I'll go plate the roast duck." 。When the roast duck arrived, Chen Guangming had already poured himself and Xiao Zheng some Maotai wine. Xiao Zheng couldn't refuse, so he poured red wine for Chen Hong and Sun Wenmin as well. 。Four people sat down. Chen Guangming raised his cup and said, "Today we're reunited again, come, let's have the first drink!" 。"Chen Guangming is also a good drinker. Sun Wenmin said, “Drink slowly” 。“There’s good wine and delicious roast duck, no problem,” said Chen Guangming. 。You ladies do as you please, Xiao Zheng, come, let's have a drink. 。Today, this family of three seemed to be particularly good to themselves, and Xiao Zheng couldn't help but drink. 。He wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but they were kind to him, and it seemed to awaken his favor towards them. Xiao Zheng also said: "Aunt, Uncle, I'll drink this first one with you, and then we'll take it slow." 。Sun Wenmin then said, "Look, it's still Xiao Zheng, the director..." 。Okay, here's to the first one. Let's not drink this fast from now on. 。Chen Guangming seemed to have a real preference for the roast duck at An County International Hotel. He ordered several pieces that night and stuffed them into his mouth. 。Chen Hong saw that Xiao Zheng didn't eat much, and specially wrapped a piece for him, handing it to Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng told her to eat it herself, but Chen Hong insisted on stuffing it into Xiao Zheng's mouth. Xiao Zheng had no choice but to open his mouth and eat it. 。This made Xiao Zheng slightly embarrassed. He was afraid that Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin would have opinions. 。Xiao Zhe saw smiles on Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin's faces, rather than any displeasure. 。It seems that Chen Guangming and Sun Wemin have truly accepted themselves. 。And there's Chen Hong, who is truly kind to herself. 。Xiao Zheng's originally somewhat listless heart seemed to be warmed again. 。Xiao Zheng also raised a glass with Chen Hong to toast Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin. 。After they had finished most of their drink, Chen Guangming spoke up, "Xiao Zheng, things haven't been peaceful in your Tianhuang Town lately, have they" 。“That’s right,” Xiao Zheng thought to himself, “A lot has happened.” 。Chen Guangming said: "Song Guoming was actually put under 'double regulations' This is really unexpected." 。Unexpectedly, Song Guoming did so many outrageous things behind his back. It's really hard to tell. 。“That's what it means to know someone's face but not their heart.” 。Chen Guangming said, "Indeed, Song Guoming used to be arrogant and overbearing, but now his political career has come to an end." 。So, as a person, it's still important to be low-key. 。Chen Guangming previously had a mediocre relationship with Song Guoming, so there was an undeniable hint of schadenfreude in his words. 。

Xiao Zheng didn't respond. 。Chen Guangming asked again, "Now, is Guan Wenwei temporarily presiding over the work of the town Party committee" Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Mayor Guan is temporarily in charge." 。"Chen Guangming looked at Xiao Zheng and said, “You and Guan Wenwei have a good relationship, don't you” Xiao Zheng didn't deny it: "Yes, we do." 。"Chen Guangming then said, “I heard that recently, the County Magistrate of Fang County has been quite unhappy because of something related to Wen Wei.”

There was no doubt that the matter Chen Guangming was referring to was the County Magistrate's dissatisfaction with the 'Rich and Beautiful Countryside Construction' plan."> 。Why did Chen Guangming suddenly ask about thist that suggestion we made together last time to advance 'Green Rural Construction' in Tianhuang Town, has the mayor seen it What do they think” Li Haiyan still cared about this matter and hoped to sta...
