1. In August, I posted a total of twenty-nine chapters. Alas, I owe my friends two more chapters. I’m really sorry.

2. Today is September 1st and Monday again. There are many things to do, and the new chapter can only be published at night.

3. Today I opened the classified monthly ticket list, and the classification ranking list was also unknown, which made Xiaoqiao, who was a little vain, feel very shameless. I hope my friends will continue to support it and use the monthly ticket to smash Xiaoqiao onto the classified monthly ticket list.

At night, Hou Weidong was still sleeping in the old room downstairs. He still saw the book "Half Moon Talk" at the head of the bed. Last time he saw many inscriptions in the book. Today, he read it again and realized that it was the handwriting of the former secretary. He thought to himself: "I have been admitted to Peking University graduate school, and I don't know if I will come back this Spring Festival."

After turning off the lights, he couldn't sleep for a while. In the dark, thinking about Zhu Mei painting in an empty studio, Hou Weidong felt inexplicably blocked and said to himself: "Secretary Zhu is in a very beautiful place outside, but he knew that there were difficult scriptures at home, and it would be very painful for anyone to do such things."

"Secretary Zhu has given gifts to many leaders. I should wish Secretary Zhu New Year in both reasonable and reasonable aspects." After racking his brains, he came up with an idea: "This year, I would just give Zhu Mei a laptop computer as a gift to Secretary Zhu. With a computer, Zhu Mei's life can be more colorful."

Then he thought: "Secretary Zhu's youngest son Zhu Jian will come back tomorrow, and his niece Zhou Jing will also come back. If you only give gifts to Zhu Mei, but not Zhu Jian and Zhou Jing. It seems unreasonable. Zhou Jing is in college and there should be no problem with sending notebooks. Zhu Jian is still in elementary school, so what else can I give?"

After thinking about it for a while, he decided: "From Secretary Zhu's expression, he must love Zhu Mei very much from the bottom of his heart. I only sent Zhu Mei, and if I send too much, it would be a show of it."

But when I arrived at Mr. Zhu's house, I didn't give me any gifts during the Spring Festival. It was a bit unreasonable. Hou Weidong thought about Mr. Zhu's house carefully and found two problems, one was that the washing machine looked a little worn, and the other was that there was no microwave.

He thought about it repeatedly and felt that these two gifts should be more appropriate. So he called Li Jing and gave Mr. Zhu the address to Li Jing.

The next morning, another car from the county party committee office sent Zhu Yan’s wife Jiang Yuxin and his son Zhu Jian over. Zhu Jian was eleven years old and was still in elementary school. He was so crazy that he got off the car and pestered his grandfather to fish. Zhu was in a very good mood and happily took the fishing pole. He took his grandson to the river to fish for clay carp.

Aunt Zhang shouted, "Old man, Meimei wants to sketch. You go to the river together." Zhu Yan saw Lao Liu sitting in the main hall and doing nothing, and said, "Lao Liu likes fishing, are you going?" Lao Liu followed Mr. Zhu to fish by the river.

Zhu Yan and Jiang Yuxin were helping with dishes in the kitchen.

"I'll have to go back to Yi Yang after lunch. There are still many things to do. You can stay with your parents for a few days at this time. I'll come back on the afternoon of New Year's Eve."

Jiang Yuxin habitually held up the gold-slide glasses and said, "You have a lot of things, but the earth is still the same as you." She said, "I saw a news on TV today. It was said that a new technology appeared in the United States, which only had a weak hearing. It could improve hearing several times through a special surgery. I remember that when Meimei was a child, she was awakened by Spring Festival firecrackers in her sleep. I think she should still have hearing."

In order to treat the disease, Zhu Yan took Zhu Mei to all the good hospitals across the country. He was already disappointed with the treatment and said, "I don't know if this new technology is reliable?"

"The TV said it was still the experimental period, but some results have been achieved."

Zhu Yan sighed and lowered his head to take care of the dishes.

The farmland outside Hou Weidong's yard was spinning casually, and he took the time to call Li Jing again, "I am Hou Weidong, haven't gotten up yet?"

Li Jing also walked comfortably on the bed and said, "The Seiko Group is on holiday. I sleep in every day. It's so comfortable to sleep in." She said, "Don't worry, Sun Houzi, I remember the matter in my heart. I asked Xiao Liu of the Administrative Department to do this and deliver it to the door of my house at 10 o'clock."

"Thank you."

"Thank you, you can't just talk. Last time you brag, you said it was three hits of the White Bone Demon. You only completed two hits. When will you make up for the third hit?"

Li Jing's voice was a little lazy, which made Hou Weidong's throat tight. He changed the subject and said, "How to arrange the Spring Festival?"

"I slept in today and went home in the afternoon." Thinking of the awkward family, Li Jing couldn't get up and said, "Going home means completing the task. After seeing my mother, I will go back to Lingxi."

After 10:00, the delivery truck of Lingxi Department Store was parked at the door, and the deliveryman was about to come to sign the order. Hou Weidong quickly followed, looked at Zhu Yan's confused eyes and explained: "The Spring Festival is here, I will give the elderly some gifts, a fully automatic washing machine and a microwave oven, mainly to facilitate the two elderly people."

Aunt Zhang said on the side: "Why did you buy things back silently? These are all very expensive things. You also make a living by paying wages, and you don't have much salary, so how can you make money?"

Zhu Yan watched the workers start unloading the goods, and said, "Xiao Hou, I won't be the case, just this is the case."

When the deliveryman put the washing machine and microwave in the items and did a debugging, Hou Weidong said: "Secretary Zhu, I'll go to the river to watch fishing. Lao Liu likes bragging the most. I'll see how many he can catch."

Seeing Hou Weidong leaving the small yard, Jiang Yuxin quietly said to Zhu Yan: "Hou Weidong has not worked for a few years, and the young man cannot save money. This gift is too heavy."

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Don't look at Hou Weidong's young age. He is a local rich man. When he was working in Qinglin, he opened a stone yard in the name of his mother. In recent years, Yang Da has made a fortune and has made a lot of money. I estimate that he has at least hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Jiang Yuxin said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Xiao Hou is still very economically wise. He is a party and government cadre. Would he be allowed to do business?"

Zhu Yan said disapprovingly: "In what era now, I still pay attention to these things. A gentleman loves money and makes it easy. I have investigated that Xiaohou's money comes clean and uses his mother's name. As long as no one deliberately causes trouble, it is not a problem. On the other hand, Xiaohou's financial conditions are good, so I feel more at ease when using it, so there is no need to worry that he can make money in my name."

"You have this view, and your life will be easier."

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. I don't want to be a hero in a peaceful era. I just want to be an official who can do something. If I can't get promoted in the future, I will never force myself. If I get promoted, I will do some practical things, and if I leave the second line, I will enjoy life."

Jiang Yuxin is the most famous gynecologist in Yiyang Hospital. She is a skilled student and has always been disdainful of officials' intrigues and said, "If everyone has the same idea as you, Yiyang's officialdom will be quiet." She thought again, "We also have to save some money for Meimei. Maybe we can have rehabilitation surgery that day, and the cost will definitely be not low."

Zhu Yan said: "There is not a single word about this matter yet, so I will talk about it later."

After lunch, Zhu Yan returned to Yi Yang. It was already half past five in the morning when he arrived at Yi Yang. He came to the county party committee auditorium without stopping to attend the Yi Yang group visit, which is also the annual routine program.

Those who can attend the group are elites from all walks of life and top leaders of various regions and departments. During the dinner, they sat for more than 40 seats. Hou Weidong is the deputy director of the committee office, and he also has a place to sit and toast. As soon as he sat down, many people came to toast. After drinking more than ten glasses of wine, Hou Weidong saw that the situation was wrong, quickly put down his bowl and ran to the lounge outside the restaurant to wait for Zhu Yan.

Su Ming searched a lot before finding Hou Weidong in the lounge. He pulled Hou Weidong outside, found a quiet corner, and whispered: "Do you have any arrangements for Secretary Zhu during the Spring Festival? I was the first year of being the town party secretary and I am not familiar with Secretary Zhu. I want to wish Secretary Zhu a New Year."

Hou Weidong thought about Zhu Yan's arrangement form and said, "Secretary Zhu is too busy, there will definitely be no time before the festival." Su Ming smiled and said, "I'll leave this to me. As long as Secretary Zhu is free, you will remember to notify me."

This was the first Spring Festival when Hou Weidong went to the commission office. He was not familiar with whether Zhu Yan had any hidden rules for celebrating the Spring Festival. He just heard Ji Haiyang say that during the Spring Festival, the party secretary of large towns such as Chengguan Town and Mengdong Town would have to have dinner at Zhu Yan's house.

When Hou Weidong was working in Qinglin Town, Su Ming attached great importance to him. Their personal relationship was pretty good and they cooperated well at work. Hou Weidong was unwilling to be a bad-faced Bao Gong and said, "Secretary Zhu has no specific arrangements tonight, and President Jiang has also gone to Lingxi. If there is no arrangement after dinner, I will call you."

Su Ming left in a hurry.

After the group meeting ended, several directors of the National People's Congress made a fuss and insisted on asking Zhu Yan to visit the National People's Congress' New Year's event, so Zhu Yan agreed.

The National People's Congress Auditorium was decorated with lights and all the staff were outside to greet Zhu Yan and others. Seeing that Zhu Yan was pulled by the No. 1 beauty of the National People's Congress and sang "Aobao Meeting", Hou Weidong quickly came out and called Su Ming. Su Ming was very disappointed on the phone and repeatedly told Hou Weidong to find the right time.

After hanging up the phone and getting ready to enter the National People's Congress auditorium, Zhang Yajun of the Construction Committee called and said straight to the point: "Director Hou, thank you for your support for the work of the Construction Committee. I went on a business trip to Beijing and brought you a leather jacket and put it in Lao Liu's car. You can try it home tonight, and if it doesn't fit, then change it."

The phone number of Zhang Yajun of the Construction Committee was just hung up, and the phone number of the Public Security Bureau Director Shang Guanghua called. He said: "The Public Security Bureau has been carrying the burden for a year this year. The case of the Procuratorate has not been solved. The whole situation is under great pressure. Director Hou is a law student and an expert. I hope to say a few good words in front of Secretary Zhu. Around the Spring Festival, the political commissar and I will invite you to drink separately."

At half past nine, Zhu Yan found an excuse and left the National People's Congress. Hou Weidong thought Zhu Yan was going home, but he got in the car, but he said, "Go to the transportation hotel."

The Transportation Hotel is located opposite the passenger station. Construction started last year and was put into use in August this year. It is an asset of the Transportation Bureau and is twelve floors high. It is the highest building in Yiyang. The decoration level is similar to that of Yiyang Hotel. Due to its good location, it has robbed a lot of business of Yiyang Hotel after its completion.

Zeng Zhaoqiang, Zhu Bing and others were waiting downstairs, surrounded Zhu Yan to the 12th floor, which was not open to the public.
