"Let's get married."

This idea flashed through Hou Weidong's mind, growing like a weed. He thought about it for a while and then called Xiaojia. On the phone, Xiaojia was obviously surprised and said, "Why did you suddenly think of getting married?"

"There is no reason, I think I should get married."

Xiaojia thought for a while and said, "It's good, and the reason for mobilizing is more sufficient."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Xiaojia, how did you think of transferring such a beautiful moment? Putting these mundane things aside. Let's talk about love. Are you going to buy you a diamond ring? Which one do you like?"

Xiaojia said: "In my heart, you have long been my husband. You don't need that piece of paper to prove it, nor do you need others to admit it. As for the diamond ring, it is something outside of the body, and our love does not need a diamond ring to prove it."

Hou Weidong was very happy by Xiaojia's confession. After calling, he sat at the desk and smiled foolishly. Fu Jiang, director of the Comprehensive Management Office, walked in with a slightly bald short man. Fu Jiang called twice, but Hou Weidong didn't come back to his senses.

Fu Jiang tapped the table with his finger and said loudly: "Hou Zhen, what kind of happy event did you encounter? I'm so happy."

Hou Weidong came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Director Fu, Secretary Yan, please sit down."

This short man is a famous and difficult person in Xingping Village. Yan Daoli, the famous branch secretary in Xiaqinglin villages. After he sat down, he took the cigarette handed over by Hou Weidong, and sucked it on his own with a black face.

Fu Jiang said to Hou Weidong: "Hou Town. Last year, half of the coordination of Tiliu Village was not handed over, and the town was urging it very tightly. Today, Secretary Yan came here and we will discuss a solution."

Hou Weidong thought to himself: "From Yan Daoli's appearance, he is also a scheming person. You must find a way to conquer him, otherwise it will be even more difficult to work in the village." He said quietly: "Secretary Yan, please introduce one of the specific situation."

"Xingping Village is a large village in Xiaqinglin. There are 2,826 people in the village. Six production teams are also the most remote village. There are no roads available so far, so it is also the poorest village."

Yan Daoli is good at speaking. He has a good grasp of the situation in the village. After introducing the village situation, he said: "Because the village is poor, the coordination is provided and the agricultural tax is not paid. It is the village with the most debts in history. Secretary Zhao just talked to me and said that Xingping Village was designated as a backward branch and sent Hou Town to get rid of the hat. On behalf of the village committee, I welcomed it. Hou Town is a college student, young and has many ideas. I will definitely find a way to make Xingping Village become rich."

Fu Jiang knew that the work in Xingping Village was difficult, so he thought to himself: "It seems that Zhao Yongsheng is giving Hou Weidong a difficult problem. I am so fucking wronged. I will suffer as a result. It depends on how Hou Weidong takes the initiative."

Fu Jiang was originally Xinglong Village near Zhuchang Town, and Xinglong Village has better conditions in all aspects. It is close to Chang Town, and the members are generally wealthy. The coordination of the funds to be paid for, agricultural taxes and other payments are owed to a small amount. He is already familiar with the village cadres, so he usually doesn't have to worry about the affairs in the village. Now he has been transferred to Xingping Village. Not only will it take more than an hour to go down to the village, but he will not be able to complete the task for a long time. He will inevitably be criticized at the conference and small meetings.

Fu Jiang also has opinions on this adjustment.

In the past two years, Hou Weidong has been in Qinglin for a long time and is not familiar with the villages in Qinglin. He has never been to Xingping Village and has no specific impression of this village. He said: "Since the town party committee arranged for me and Director Fu to come to Xingping Village, we both have an unshirkable responsibility for Xingping Village. Xingping Village was positioned as a backward branch, which is only temporary. I have no grasp of the specific situation and do not want to speak loudly. I just hope that the village committee and we both cooperate closely and throw away the hat of this backward party branch as soon as possible."

Yan Daoli disagreed with Hou Weijiang's statement, squinted his eyes and smoked.

Hou Weidong emphasized, "It's still the same old saying, it's a donkey or a horse. Just pull it out and you'll know it. You'll still know it in your future work."

After smoking, Yan Daoli said, "Hou Zhen said it well, so we won't talk about the specific work. There is still time in the future. We will go out for lunch together after a while. Director Liu and several other village cadres will also come."

Hou Weidong nodded and said, "Okay, everyone gathered together and wanted to get to know each other." He said to Jiang: "Is there any funding for the Comprehensive Management Office? Since I have arrived in the town, Fu Jiang and I will invite this meal."

The Comprehensive Management Office is a department that has a lot of trouble in the town government sequence, but basically has no funds. Fu Jiang, the director of the Comprehensive Management Office, has no confidence in his hands compared to the Social Affairs Office, Family Planning Office, Land and Resources Office and other departments.

Yan Daoli is an old man, so he naturally knows the situation of the Comprehensive Management Office. He glanced at Fu Jiang and said, "Although Xingping Village is poor, this meal is still affordable."

Fu Jiang wanted to say something, but Hou Weidong stopped him with his eyes. He said to Jiang: "Since that's the case, we are not polite, let's meet you first..."

When it was lunch time, Hou Weidong went to the first floor and called Shangfu Jiang and Fang Jin from the Comprehensive Management Office to come to the Zhangjia Restaurant together.

Director Liu Yong of the village committee, clerk Lao Tang, and director Qin Mei of the women were already waiting in the Zhangjia restaurant. As soon as Hou Weidong arrived, Liu Yong explained: "Secretary Yan delayed something and came over immediately." Director Qin Mei of the women quickly poured tea for Hou Weidong and said: "Master Hou, welcome to our village. My brother-in-law will go to Dushi Village. He is the president of the Third Society. He often sets your dragon gate formation with me."

The third president Zeng Zhaoyong and Zeng Xianqiang are distant relatives, and they can afford to be of seniority. Hou Weidong also knew him and smiled and said, "Qin Mei, you are Zeng Zhaoyong's aunt. I heard him talk about you." Liu Yong was a stinky middle-aged man, so he smiled and said, "Auntie, my brother-in-law, come to sleep."

Qin Mei is about thirty years old. She is very promiscuous. When she heard Liu Yong joking, she was not angry and said, "Director Liu, you have three aunts. Have you all slept? I want to ask my sister-in-law."

As a joke, the atmosphere became relaxed.

A few minutes later, Yan Daoli walked in, and Deputy Secretary Liu Kun followed him. When he saw Hou Weidong sitting inside, he turned to Secretary Yan and said, "Secretary Yan, didn't you say that there were only people from Xingping Village?"

Yan Daoli knew the situation during the election. When Liu Kun asked about this, he immediately confirmed the rumors that Liu Kun and Hou Weidong were in conflict, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Hou Zhen is in contact with the leader of Xingping Village, Director Fu and Brother Fang Jin are village cadres, of course they are all from Xingping Village."

After the new team was established, Liu Kun wanted to resolve the resentment accumulated during the election according to his father's opinions several times, but he tried many times, but it was difficult to face Hou Weidong calmly. The two formed a pattern of going halfways. Now, after being invited by Yan Daoli to the Zhang family restaurant, Liu Kun was not able to leave.

At this table, he and Hou Weidong were the highest in the ranks. They sat side by side in the upper head. Branch Secretary Yan Daoli and village director Liu Yong were divided into two sides.

The dishes served very quickly, and there were two kilograms of Laobaigan in Qinglin Town. This was a homemade liquor brewed by the winery. The degree was extremely high, exceeding 60 degrees. However, it is said that he would not get angry after getting drunk. Although Hou Weidong had a good alcohol content, he was a little afraid of eating this kind of wine. He smelled the strong smell of alcohol. He was also secretly scared. Liu Kun had a bad alcohol content. Now he was so scared that he had changed his qualities when talking about wine. He was blocked by Yan Daoli. He had no chance to escape in panic.

There are usually two types of wine glasses in the Zhangjia Restaurant, one is a small cup of about half a coin, and the other is a large cup that is close to one or two taels. Qinglinchang Town is commonly known as a good-seed cup, and there are good-seed cups on the table.

Yan Daoli poured wine himself, each person with one glass. He raised his glass and said, "Xingping Village is the backward party branch. If you can invite Secretary Liu and Mayor Hou, you two leaders gave Xingping Village face to the great Xingping Village. After drinking this wine today, our Xingping Village will start a year-long work to remove the hat. If you can't remove the hat in a year, I will write the word Yan upside down, everyone will raise their glasses and drink it."

He spoke nicely but his tone was not good. Hou Weidong said in his heart: "When Xingping Village was designated as the backward party branch, Yan Daoli was dissatisfied with it." Because he didn't understand Yan Daoli's personality, he didn't say much. He picked up the wine glass and drank it happily. A spicy feeling rushed from his throat to his lower abdomen. He couldn't help but say, "What a spicy wine."

Yan Daoli stared at Liu Kun and said, "Secretary Liu, you are the Party Secretary. The style of wine is to behave like a style. You have to drink this glass of wine."

Liu Kun covered the wine glass with his palm and said, "Secretary Yan, I don't know how to drink, and I'm going to have a meeting in the afternoon."

Yan Daoli said unyieldingly: "Xingping Village is a backward village, and Secretary Liu is the deputy secretary in charge of party affairs. In order to get Xingping Village to take off the backward hat, you must drink this cup. If you don't drink it, you just look down on Xingping, a backward party branch."

Putting yourself in a weak position, using words to the other party to blindly make him drink due to face. This is one of the most common tricks to persuade him to drink. Yan Daoli deeply understood this method and took Liu Kun and his army as soon as he started.

Liu Kun hated this kind of rogue behavior. Since the last election gave him a profound lesson, he could not really put aside his pride and reject Yan Daoli, he smiled helplessly: "I can drink at most a glass of wine today, otherwise I will have to go to bed in the afternoon. I have a shallow alcohol tolerance and I have no choice but to forgive me."

Yan Daoli watched Liu Kun drink it, scooped Liu Kun a bowl of chicken soup, and said, "Hou Town is the new leader of the village, that is, the cadre of our Xingping Village. Secretary Liu, you must have a drink with Hou Town. With the support of you two, our Xingping Village can successfully take off the hat of the backwards."

Speaking of this, Yan Daoli blinked at Hou Weidong. Hou Weidong understood his thoughts. He thought to himself: "We are both members of the team as Liu Kun, but we have been looking up for a long time and have a bitter face every day, which is also unpleasant." He knew that Liu Kun was indeed not good at drinking, and said: "Secretary Yan, change to a small cup to drink, you can drink two more cups."

Yan Daoli kept shook his head and said, "The new year is a new atmosphere, how can we still use a small cup? Hou Zhen is the leader of the town. You can't be so stingy. Although Xingping Village is a little poor, there is still money for this little wine."

Yan Daoli is famous among the village cadres in Qinglin Town. Hou Weidong finally learned a little bit. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll report to Xingping Village today, and I will listen to Yan Shuyun's arrangements, but I'll say here that I will listen to my arrangements next time."

He stood up and said sincerely to Liu Kun: "Secretary Liu, we two still have a cup of tea. We have been working together for four years now. It is a fate. It is not easy. I will toast you with this glass of wine and take care of Xingping Village in the future."
