The summer is long with thick green trees and shade. In the summer evening, the floating clouds in the sky are still wrapped in their golden clothes and refuse to take them off. A car slowly drives out of the highway ramp and enters the toll station.
After paying the money and getting the invoice, Huo Qianli stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the prosperous Jincheng city.
The car drove straight home, and Jiang's mother, who was cleaning up the dishes, was stunned;
My son, who was sitting in a high chair facing the door with food all over his face and body, burst into tears when he saw a "stranger".
Jiang Qingyue turned her head in surprise, and then suddenly she was delighted. While comforting her son, she scolded him, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "I just want to see the surprise on your face! Mom, I'm here."
He quickly took the slippers from Jiang's mother and hung the briefcase on the wall in the entrance hall.
Jiang's mother, who had long since recovered from her illness, rubbed her apron and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make you two more dishes."
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "No need to bother, I can just make myself a bowl of noodles."
Jiang Qingyue, who was wiping her son's mouth, face and body, turned her head and glanced at him, "Go wash your hands, come and take your son. I'm going to buy some braised food and beer outside the community. You can have a couple of drinks with Teacher Han."
Huo Qianli smiled and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a leader, this arrangement is spot on."
Jiang Qingyue smiled and gently pinched his waist.
The table was filled with cold dishes, including braised beef, braised peanuts, braised dried tofu, diced rabbit in red oil, pig ears in red oil, chicken feet with pickled peppers, and cold vegetarian dishes. Jiang Qingyue was obviously reluctant to let her beloved, who was tired from working hard, suffer.
After everything was arranged, she, her mother and her son went out, leaving the space to the master and apprentice, or "father and son", who had not seen each other for a long time.
Huo Qianli and Han Zhiyuan sat opposite each other with beer glasses in front of them, eating, drinking and chatting.
That night, the two talked a lot.
When Jiang Qingyue and the others had played until they had to come back to tidy up the children for bed, Han Zhiyuan slowly stood up. His old face, slightly flushed from the alcohol, was full of relief. He patted Huo Qianli on the shoulder and left.
The next day, Huo Qianli took his whole family, mainly the children, to Jincheng Zoo.
It was a hot day, and except for the children who were staring with their big, black eyes at the strange things they had never seen before, full of energy, the rest of the adults looked a little wilted by the sun.
Jiang's mother couldn't help but sigh, "In the past, in Hushan Village, we had to work under the scorching sun. Now, we can't even walk a few steps with bare hands. We are really getting old!"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "You are not old, you are pampered and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!"
Jiang's mother laughed out loud, "What do you mean by pampered? You should be able to get a tan!"
She looked at her good son-in-law who was having fun with her good grandson, and said to Jiang Qingyue with a smile: "You are such a good husband!"
Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly and didn't respond.
Huo Qianli took the initiative to hold his son in his arms and legs all day long. Seeing his son's smile, he seemed to have endless motivation and was tireless.
In the evening, after dinner, the family washed off their tiredness, changed into clean home clothes and rested.
Jiang's mother "sensibly" took the child to sleep, and the child was also sensible enough not to cry and make a fuss for his mother.
Late at night, Jiang Qingyue leaned against Huo Qianli's arms with a blushing face, and whispered, "Have you decided?"
Huo Qianli lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from you."
Jiang Qingyue stood up and looked at him seriously, "No need to hide it. I will support you."
"Of course I hope you come back and we can be together as a family, but you have your mission and ambition. Hushan Village is also your youth and your hard work. You should give it and yourself a satisfactory explanation."
"The child is still young and doesn't need to go to school. When the time comes, I will bring him to Qianfu Town to see you often."
Huo Qian was touched, "Thank you, wife. I have another suggestion."
"Um?"
"Next time you say something so serious, put on your clothes properly."
"Ah!" Jiang Qingyue woke up as if from a dream, grabbed the thin quilt, but was knocked down by Huo Qianli.
.......
On Sunday, a hotpot restaurant in Jincheng was crowded with people and filled with fragrant aroma.
The red pot is boiling, all the flavors are melting away, and the spicy and fresh aroma will hook the appetite of people.
Huo Qianli sat in the private room and waited for the leader of the Organization Department.
Huo Qianli stood up to greet him, and the leader gave him a thumbs up, "Well done!"
Huo Qianli smiled and nodded, "Fortunately I have fulfilled my mission!"
The leader raised the bag in his hand and said, "I brought a bottle of good wine to celebrate your success."
Huo Qianli pointed to the bottle he brought on the table and said, "Then we'll have something to drink tonight."
The leader laughed and said, "You should drink it!"
For a leader of his level, he has drunk all kinds of wine. How can he not have drunk enough?
Being willing to drink this meal and a few more cups shows how much he values Huo Qianli.
From a justice perspective, Huo Qianli had done a good job in getting things done so quickly and had solved a hidden danger. This was also a sign of his ability to judge people, and he deserved to be congratulated.
If you think about it more pragmatically, even though he is in a high position and has great power now, he will have to retire sooner or later. A younger generation like Huo Qianli who is both capable and well-behaved already has such a deep bond with him. If he can maintain a good relationship with him, his descendants and relatives will also be able to have a good relationship with him in his later twenty or thirty years.
So, the wine was naturally drunk during this meal.
The leader picked up a piece of tripe, dipped it in red oil, and said with a smile: "How long will it take to finish? You can come back after two or three months! In half a year, your qualifications will be suitable, and there will be no problem for you to sit as deputy director of the department. It just so happens that there is a vacancy now, the time is right, the place is right, and the people are right."
