When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world.
Ahem....This is just Huo Qianli's beautiful hope and slightly naive imagination.
With the baby around, everything becomes chaotic and compact.
Only after the baby falls asleep, the young couple can do the things that two free young men and women like to do, while sighing that a sleeping baby is the best baby.
For example, eat something delicious, drink something, chat about life, talk about everything from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life, etc.
The next day, Saturday, Huo Qianli took his wife and children to the vegetable market at a leisurely pace.
The vegetable market in Qianfu Town was completely inferior to those in Jincheng. It was narrow and cramped, the air was filled with the smell of meat, and there was dirty water on the ground. Huo Qianli could only hold his son in his arms the whole time.
Farmers set up small stalls along the roadside or steps, wherever there is water that won’t get in the way. They put a snakeskin bag or a backpack on the ground and grab a handful of plastic bags.
Many old men and women who run stalls don’t even have scales. When they have business, they go to borrow one from the next door. It’s really helpless and sad to see this.
After visiting several stalls, Jiang Qingyue squatted in front of an old man and selected a few bitter gourds. The old man took out a handful of wrinkled and dirty plastic bags from his bulging pockets, selected a relatively clean one, shook it open, put the bitter gourds in it, hung it on the scale, then fiddled with the weight and squinted at the weight.
"Three catties and six ounces, I'll give you three and a half catties! One dollar and twenty cents for a catty, one and two times three equals thirty-six, and half a catty is sixty cents, so the total is four dollars and twenty cents."
Jiang Qingyue was already carrying a lot of things in her hands, so Huo Qianli smiled and stretched out his hand to take the bag. When the old man saw his face, he was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Is your last name Huo?"
Huo Qianli nodded.
"Are you Cadre Huo?!" The old man's face showed joy. "I'm from Mingfeng Village. I heard that you were back a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, old man."
Jiang Qingyue smiled proudly and handed the money over, but the old man didn't take it. "Old man, I don't have much money, but I can still afford these bitter melons. Officer Huo, can I ask you for a favor?"
A few bitter melons in exchange for a favor? This old man is quite calculating!
Such a thought flashed through Huo Qianli's mind, and he said calmly: "Please speak, old man."
The old man picked up another bitter melon and put it into Huo Qianli's bag. "Please be a good official and let the people live a good life, just like you did before. Then we will all burn incense for you. Don't learn from those corrupt officials, or your spine will be broken!"
Huo Qianli was stunned for a moment, then nodded at him seriously, "Okay!"
He did not insist on giving money. In this situation, giving money to the old man for any reason would be an insult to him. All Huo Qianli could do was to try his best to bring a better life to the people of Qianfu Town, including the old man, through his work.
After returning home with lots of bags, Huo Qianli called Cao Qingfeng and Xiao Yao and asked them to come to his house for dinner.
Although both of them are married, the transfer was sudden and there was a lot of things to do at home. Their family members haven't had time to come over yet, so now they are both single men who can't even cook.
When the two men arrived, they naturally started by flattering Jiang Qingyue to the point that she felt embarrassed and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Huo Qianli entertained the children while chatting with them.
I introduced them to the basic situation of Qianfu Town, talked about the team members, various units, etc., answered a few questions, and was busy changing my son's diaper. An hour passed in a flash.
The food was served, and because it was the weekend and this was the situation, everyone poured themselves some wine.
No feast is complete without wine. One glass to friends, one glass to leaders, one glass to sister-in-law. After three or two glasses, the atmosphere at the table becomes more and more lively.
For Cao Qingfeng and Xiao Yao, they already knew before coming that this trip was to fully cooperate with Huo Qianli, increase their abilities and knowledge, and accumulate political capital. This is a path that has been verified by Li Qiao, Guo Haoran, Zheng Qiang and others.
Huo Qianli's circle of friends now has quite a lot of power.
In addition, they had all had contact with Huo Qianli before and knew what kind of abilities and character he had, so, at least for the time being, they absolutely had no intention of competing with Huo Qianli for power and profit.
Jiang Qingyue finished her simple meal, cleaned up her son who was covered in food, and tactfully took him into the room, leaving the table completely to the three men.
They shared some of their experiences over the years with each other, combined with the current situation in Qianfu Town, and sparked new ideas.
Just as they were drinking and chatting in a happy atmosphere, Huo Qianli's cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller, smiled and raised the phone to his ear, "Hello? Gu Chao."
The caller was Gu Chao, the almost married son of Uncle Yong from Hushan Village. Now he and his wife from Minzhou have settled down in Hushan Village and have a very well-behaved daughter. They are living a pretty good life.
But at this moment, Gu Chao's voice did not have any happiness in it, and he said anxiously: "Secretary Huo, something happened in the village! I don't know who to contact, so I can only call you!"
Huo Qianli stood up quickly, his expression changed, "What happened?"
Gu Chao spoke very quickly, "Zhan Baoxing was arrested, and everyone knows that a new village chief must be elected. There are two groups of people now. They canvass for votes in the village every day, and they often quarrel. Then at noon today, a banquet was set up at Gu Yun's house in the village, and they gathered together again. Maybe they drank a little, but I don't know how they started quarreling! This guy looked like he was going to fight! It was a big scene!"
