"On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, make cakes, steamed buns and add flowers."

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. The streets and alleys of Xishan County are filled with stalls selling New Year’s goods and gifts. The sparse sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time. People who went outside to work have returned one after another. Men and women carrying large and small bags are pouring out from time to time from time to time from time to time. The New Year is not only a festival for children to be happy, but also a day for family reunion. Many people are running around for their livelihoods and working day and night. Only in these few days can they breathe a little and spend a leisurely and comfortable time with their families.

After Bai Yanni got off work, she had just left the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau and saw a white van parked not far from the door. Lin Zhen was wearing a black leather jacket and a cigarette between his fingers. He was standing by the side of the car and watching from her. When she saw her coming out, she subconsciously walked forward a few steps, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Bai Yanni felt nervous, afraid that he would come and pester him, so she quickly speeded up and got into a taxi. After the car drove away, she looked back and saw Lin Zhen still standing in the original place in a daze. She couldn't help but sigh. Since moving to Laoxi Street, Lin Zhen has become peaceful, and the frequent harassing calls in the past have also stopped. County Magistrate Wang was at the peak of his life in Xishan County at this time, and he dared not have any inappropriate thoughts about himself.

After getting off the bus, Bai Yanni walked around the stall on the side of the road, bought a few words of Fu and Spring Festival couplets and put them in her bag, and slowly went into her yard, made paste, pasted a few words of Fu and pasted them on the doors and windows, and returned to the house to wash their hands. She was about to wash vegetables and cook, but she had just picked a strand of celery, but through the window, she unexpectedly found that Zhong's mother walked to the east of the yard with a basin of water and poured it under a poplar tree. After a long time, she didn't move. The old lady actually raised her neck and tiptoed to look at the poplar tree in the middle.

Bai Yanni's heart trembled, she hurriedly threw the celery into the plate, took off her apron, ran out of the kitchen, pushed open the door and walked behind Zhong's mother, blushed, Qiqiai Ai Ai Ai: "Mom, what are you looking at? What's the beauty of this bare poplar tree?"

Zhong's mother pointed at the broken branches on the tree and said in confusion: "Nizi, come and see, there has not been a strong wind these days. Why did the tree trunk such a thick one break for no reason?"

Bai Yanni was both ashamed and ashamed, her heart was pounding. She glanced at left and right with guilt for a few glances, then pulled the old lady's sleeve and said, "If it breaks, it's broken. What's so strange about it? Mom, don't always be suspicious, that's not good."

Zhong's mother frowned and glanced at her, shook her head and said, "What do you know? This is the New Year's trunk, it's not a good sign. Ni, go back to the house and get a red cloth strip to tie it. Tomorrow, I will put another whip to drive away evil spirits, for good luck."

Seeing that the old lady was so stubborn, Bai Yanni had no choice but to go back to the house to cut a piece of red cloth strip, erect a ladder and climb up, frowned, and hung the cloth strip on the broken branches. She remembered the beautiful scene of the two men entangled on the trees that night, and she was panicked for a moment, and a touching redness appeared on her pretty face.

After descending from the tree, Bai Yanni moved the ladder back to the west wall, then she let out a sigh of relief, walked gracefully to the old lady, and whispered: "Mom, your boss should be satisfied this time."

The old lady nodded, but squinted her eyes and looked out the door, and said in confusion: "Nizi, why has County Magistrate Wang not come back yet? Is there a banquet tonight?"

Bai Yanni said angrily: "Mom, he has already gone to the provincial capital. He stayed there for two days, and then went to the capital. He would not be able to come back after the seventh day of the lunar month."

Zhong’s mother said ‘oh’ this time and sighed: “Jiaqun is not back, and there has been no news about Jiazhong. County Magistrate Wang has left again. This year’s New Year is very deserted.”

Bai Yanni listened to her nagging, lowered her head and walked back to the door, stepped into the threshold, but stopped, turned her head and looked at the poplar tree, spat gently, and cursed quietly: "How happy you're going to die!"

Wang Siyu was sitting on the sofa in the study at the moment, looking at the Yuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Li Guoyong writing materials. His nose was itchy for no reason and could not bear it. Suddenly, a loud sneeze came out, "A sneezing!"

Li Guoyong frowned, snorted, looked up and glared at him, without stopping, and continued to write with a silence.

Wang Siyu rubbed his sour nose with some embarrassment, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and smiled awkwardly. He wanted to invite Secretary Li to dinner in the evening to thank him for his kind help, but unexpectedly, Li Guoyong actually asked him to come to visit his home. Wang Siyu hurriedly bought the New Year gift and visited him happily. However, since he entered the room, Li Guoyong did not give him any good face. His expression was as cold as ever. He greeted him on the sofa in the living room for a few words, then returned to the study to write materials, leaving him alone.

Li Guoyong's children were already old and had already started a family. They moved outside to set up a new home. Only the old couple lived together. The family hired a nanny to cook. A few days ago, because of trivial matters in life, Li Guoyong had a fight with his wife. His wife ran away in anger and moved to her daughter's house. Therefore, except for the nanny, he is the only one at home now. The huge house seems very deserted.

Wang Siyu ate a few teeth of watermelon, watched TV for a while, and felt bored, so he went to the study room to wait. It took more than half an hour until he sat down until his butt was numb. Li Guoyong finally threw the sign pen aside, slowly put the materials into the file bag, put them aside, turned to look at Wang Siyu, snorted in his nose, and frowned, "Why, are you impatient to wait?"

Wang Siyu smiled and shook his head and said, "No, Secretary Li was joking."

Li Guoyong rolled his eyelids, snorted, and said slowly: "Young people, their biggest problem is that they are frizzy and impatient. They always want to eat a fat man in one bite, but they don't consider how big their appetite they have and whether they can digest it."

Wang Siyu smiled, but did not respond, but just lowered his head to drink tea. He knew that Secretary Li had something in his words, but in fact he was still taking the opportunity to hit him. Maybe in his eyes, he just started a trouble with the county party secretary Qian Yunong because he couldn't wait.

In fact, when he was shooting the sword that time, he was really not very calm. Wang Siyu also operated it with the idea of ​​burning his boats. Afterwards, the idea of ​​killing was too strong and it would inevitably be taboo. Qian Yunong certainly would have been unquestionable, but he would not have any good results. If it weren't for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Li Guoyong resolved it, things would probably become out of control and it would be difficult for the good situation at this time.

At that critical moment, Li Guoyong's help seemed crucial, which moved Wang Siyu very much. He put down the teacup. He looked at Li Guoyong gratefully, but saw Li Guoyong pulling his chair and standing up, holding his hands behind his back, slowly walking to the window, looking somewhere outside the window, and whispered: "Have you called Governor Fang?"

Wang Siyu shook his head and whispered: "No, Brother Zhongliang mentioned a few days ago that Governor Fang is not in a good mood recently. I want to play better on the night of 30."

Li Guoyong nodded, was silent for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "It's so cheap to leave your hometown."

Wang Siyu nodded with a wry smile, played with the cup in his hand, drank it in one gulp, put the teacup aside, walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a book, flipped it out a few times, and put it back.

After a few minutes of silence, the knock on the door rang out. The nanny pushed the door and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, the meal is ready."

Li Guoyong snorted and turned around and said, "Let's go, I have a light taste and like to eat vegetables. I don't have big fish and meat at home to entertain you."

Wang Siyu smiled and said, "Fishes get heat and meat produces phlegm, so it's better to eat more vegetables."

The two walked to the dining table and sat down. They each picked up their bowls and ate the meal silently. Then they sat on the sofa and played two chess games. Wang Siyu had not played chess for a long time and was unfamiliar with his skills. He didn't win in one of the first two games. He recovered a little in the third game. He finally gained the upper hand when he reached the middle game. Just as he was about to take advantage of the victory, Li Guoyong threw the chess piece and shook his head and said, "You have a poor chess skills, and you know that it's useless to play chess with you."

Wang Siyu smiled and didn't say anything. Li Guoyong was self-righteous, but he was still so busy that he was killed by himself that he was not too high. Not only could he not match Zhou Songlin, but Ruhai's level was a little worse than that, and he was just a match for himself.

After a while of silence, Li Guoyong threw him a VIP card and said indifferently: "This is a VIP card for the Garden Hotel. Every once in a while, a few of our old friends will gather together and chat for a few words. You can come here too next time."

Wang Siyu touched the card and looked at it, then put it in his top pocket. He knew that those old friends should be the original backbone of Fang's family. His actions in Xishan probably attracted Li Guoyong's attention, so he was qualified to attend a party of that level. He smiled and nodded, "Thank you Secretary Li, as long as you call, I will definitely go there."

Li Guoyong snorted, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then touched his hair, frowned and said, "Jiao Nanting has a deep background. You should know that, don't fight him head-on."

Wang Siyu pondered: "It was a good option for him to come when he had dealt with Jiao Nanting before."

Li Guoyong said 'oh', looked at Wang Siyu in surprise, and nodded, "It's good that you have the idea in your heart. I dare to do something wrong next time, no one will wipe your butt."

This was a bit unpleasant, but Wang Siyu already knew that Li Guoyong was cold and warm. He was such a person, so he didn't care. He just smiled faintly, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few sips, and then sniffed the smoke ring and said, "Secretary Li, please rest assured. There shouldn't be too big problems in Xishan. The next step is to concentrate on developing the economy. He originally planned to make a stable layout, but Jiao Nanting could bring some major projects over. Xishan County's indicators next year should look good. If it is optimistic, the growth rate may exceed 30%.

Li Guoyong frowned, patted his knees gently with his hand, as if he was talking to himself: "Jiao Nanting should be able to do the full term. He is still very capable. If he does the full term, there is a great hope of joining the Standing Committee."

Wang Siyu smiled slightly and said calmly: "It should be a passing by. I guess I can work in Xishan for at most two years. He mentioned last time that he hopes to work at the Provincial Department of Finance. This time, in addition to enriching his postgraduate experience, it is also a buffering buffer."

Li Guoyong looked at him meaningfully, with a hint of satisfaction on his face. He snorted, then raised his hand to point at the fruit plate in front of him, and said in a gentle tone: "Eat fruit, Aunt Lin is not at home, no one quarrels with me. I am also very upset recently. It's great if you can come over and chat with me."

Wang Siyu laughed silently and chatted with Li Guoyong for more than ten minutes. Seeing that there was a hint of tiredness on Li Guoyong's face, he stood up and said goodbye.

Li Guoyong sent him to the door, pinched Wang Siyu's hand hard, and whispered: "Do it well, call in time if you have any difficulties."

Wang Siyu felt hot, nodded, turned around and went downstairs, got into the Audi car, slowly drove the car out of the yard, and flowed into the traffic flow, heading towards the TV station's family building.

I parked the car and went upstairs. As soon as I opened the door, Yaoyao, wearing a brown Mickey suit, ran over and shouted loudly: "Uncle, uncle, happy New Year, I want a big red envelope. Aunt Meier said you have prepared a big red envelope for me. Why are you back? People can't wait in a hurry!"

Wang Siyu smiled and hurriedly picked her up, kissed her again and again. Then he took out a heavy red envelope from his bag and stuffed it into her hand. Yaoyao held the red envelope and shouted, "Mom, mom, I have made a lot of money again."

Liao Jingqing was playing checkers with Ye Xiaolei and his daughter. At this time, he glanced at Wang Siyu, touched the chess piece and smiled, shook his head and said, "Xiaoyu, you still have more money in the future, don't give Yaoyao so much money."

Wang Siyu smiled, hugged Yaoyao and walked to the three of them, and whispered: "It's okay, it's the New Year, just to make the children happy. But when Yaoyao grows up, my uncle will definitely take all her dowry."

Liao Jingqing smiled and continued to lower her head to play chess. Ye Xiaolei greeted Wang Siyu and poked her daughter with her hand. Liu Meier snorted, with a cold face and refused to speak, and was still focused on playing chess. Wang Siyu went to the capital for the New Year, which made her jealous. Since he entered the house, Meier's little face has been stern, looking extremely aggrieved.

Yaoyao was the happiest person at this time. She held a pair of white and tender little hands, held Wang Siyu's face and kissed him again and again, put her mouth to his ear, and whispered: "Uncle, uncle, I want to buy a big ship and play house on the sea."
