"I wish Yun County a happy new year, good health, and all the best!"
Everyone raised their glasses together.
On New Year's Eve in 2006, Li Xiuyuan was like a butterfly, flitting around the banquet, helping Yun County entertain the leaders who came to pay New Year's greetings. He was so busy that he didn't eat much food, but he drank a lot of wine and said a lot of nice words.
His figure was as humble as a minion. This year, Li Xiuyuan was 24 years old.
We were all busy together and had no time to eat, including Li Boyang, but we all had a bright future.
On the other side, in a restaurant in Huangyuan County, Song Limin and Li Simin brought their family, as well as Li Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe, and they all booked a private room in the hotel.
In this kind of occasion, Song Liming, who is the brother-in-law and the one who is treating guests tonight, should sit in the host seat.
But as soon as he came in, Song Liming put his wife in the main seat and said with a smile that his wife had the final say in his family.
Only then did he pull Li Jianguo over and sit down beside him, saying that he wanted to have a couple of drinks with his brother-in-law.
The private room was still very lively. Song Liming and Li Simin had two children, the eldest, Song Yang, and the second, Song Yao. The eldest was already married and had his wife and children.
The second child, Song Yao, also has a boyfriend and is planning to get married next year. Everyone was chatting and drinking tea.
The TV in the private room was also on. Although the Spring Festival Gala had not started yet, everyone was already waiting. At this time, the program playing on the TV was the local TV station in Huangyuan County.
Leaders often come to this restaurant for dinner. This TV station is usually tuned to local news. There's nothing we can do about it; the leaders love to watch it.
Anyway, the Spring Festival Gala would be broadcast soon, so there was no need to change the channel. We just watched it and chatted while eating.
At this time, the TV was broadcasting Huangyuan News.
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, the TV broadcast the following: "The New Year has arrived at the grassroots level, the festive atmosphere is strong, and the streets and alleys are filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere.
Recently, Yu Hongyu, secretary of the county party committee, and Yun Yanchang, deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, led teams to visit various units to express their condolences to the frontline cadres who stayed at their posts during the Spring Festival, and conveyed the care and warmth of the Party and the government to them. "
The host was reporting, and then it was time for everyone's own scenes to appear. In fact, ordinary people wouldn't be interested in such news at all, until Song Yang suddenly shouted, "Look, is that my cousin Xiuyuan on the TV?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at the TV.
The TV in the private room was not big, but the picture was still very clear. At this time, the picture inside was a scene of Yun Yanchang leading a team to visit the people at the Xixian People's Hospital.
On TV, Yun Yanchang cordially shook hands with the medical staff who stayed on the front line during the Spring Festival to express their condolences. Li Xiuyuan was standing next to Yun Yanchang, but the camera was not on Li Xiuyuan.
But everyone present was familiar with Li Xiuyuan and recognized him at a glance.
"Yes, it's Xiuyuan."
Before Li Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe could speak, Song Liming excitedly said that he had been bragging to people all his life, but none of them had any real connection. However, after Li Xiuyuan really became a leader, Song Liming actually kept a low profile.
