Rebirth as an official

"Let's go then."

Li An walked to the car, opened the door, and let several children sit in the back seat.

People in the Linjiang area like to eat mutton, whether it is winter or summer. There is a saying in summer, "A bowl of soup for sheep in summer does not require a prescription from a miracle doctor."

The most famous restaurant in Yangdong County is the "Houhe Township Mutton Soup" restaurant that has been open for more than [-] years. The mutton used here is from the sheep in Houhe Township, Yangdong County. It is said that the sheep in Houhe Township are very delicious. , once offered to the emperor.

Such an old shop is located in an inconspicuous alley, and the queue in front of the simple door is always full.

When Li An brought his children to this store, the store was already full, and there were more than a dozen people queuing up outside to get soup. It can be said that the business was quite booming.

Li An arranged for the children to sit in a pavilion set up on the street, while he went to queue to get the mutton soup.

“The boss’s haggis costs ten yuan, and pancakes cost two yuan!”

"I want fifteen pieces of mutton, no suet, and a piece of cake!"

"Boss boss..."

Li An couldn't help but swallow as he listened to the diners constantly mentioning their requests and the aroma of mutton wafting from the big pot.

After waiting in line for more than ten minutes, it was finally my turn.

Li An ordered four bowls of twice the amount of haggis soup and six pancakes.

He was afraid that these children would not have enough to eat.

As the saying goes, a man born under the age of [-] will live in poverty.

These children are still growing up and must have a lot of appetite.

Li An didn't let these children eat more this morning because he was worried that they would eat too much, which would lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and make them prone to sleepiness, which would affect their performance in the exam.

It's noon now, so I must be full.

Li An called Qin Fangfang and walked back to their table carrying four large bowls.

The two waiting children couldn't wait for it. They picked up the bowl and started eating.

Li An hurriedly said: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you. If there is not enough, there will be more."

When the two children heard Li An's words, they felt that their eating appearance was a bit ugly, so they slowed down their pace, but they still ate quite quickly.

In just 10 minutes, the two children ate more than half of the bowl. Li An gave them some more soup. The mutton soup here is refillable for free, and he also got a few pancakes.

Seeing these children eating mutton soup in front of him, Li An didn't feel satisfied, but he couldn't explain why he felt this way.

Has the aura of your Holy Mother exploded?

Just when Li An was thinking wildly, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

This time when he came back to his senses and took a closer look, he saw Chen Xingsheng and Xiao Mingbo standing next to him with smiles on their faces.

"What are you thinking? You didn't respond even though I called you twice." Chen Xingsheng joked.

Li An's first reaction was to stand up immediately.

"Book..." Before the word "note" came out of his mouth, Chen Xingsheng shook his head gently, signaling him not to stretch out.

Li An understood the meaning and changed his words: "The two leaders are also here to eat haggis soup."

Chen Xingsheng pointed at Xiao Mingbo and said with a smile: "Take this old friend of mine to try the special delicacies of Yangdong County."

Li An hurriedly came to open the stool, "You guys sit down and I'll hold it."

"No, we will do it ourselves."

Chen Xingsheng waved his hand to stop him, but it was too late, Li An had already queued up.

How could Li An miss the opportunity to show off at this time? As he was leaving, he did not forget to say to Qin Fangfang: "Fangfang, help greet the two uncles."

"This Li An is really naughty. Let's sit down, old Xiao." Chen Xingsheng asked Xiao Mingbo to sit down.

Xiao Mingbo saw Li An's very natural state when facing Chen Xingsheng, and said thoughtfully: "Old Chen, you and this Li An should have known each other before. Why are you pretending not to be familiar with each other at the meeting today?"

After Chen Xingsheng sat down and peeled garlic, he said: "I came here to investigate the case of arrears of wages to migrant workers before. I have been in contact with him at that time, so I am an acquaintance. Today at the conference, I said that to protect him. You should understand , the situation in Yangdong..."

Chen Xingsheng did not say anything further. After all, this was a public place and it was inconvenient to say more.

Of course Xiao Mingbo understood and nodded. "Old Chen, I understand your difficulty."

After finishing the conversation, Chen Xingsheng noticed the three older children on the table. They looked at him with timid eyes.

Chen Xingsheng asked with great interest: "Who are you Li An?"

The two boys were a little afraid to speak, but Qin Fangfang said boldly: "Brother Li An is a cadre in the village, and he sent us here to take the college entrance examination this time."

"Hey, it looks good. This young man Li An is very caring." Xiao Mingbo said.

"Brother Li An has been very kind to us. He not only sent us to take exams, but also arranged a place for us to live. And..." Qin Fangfang is a smart child. She just learned from Li An's attitude towards these two people. It can be seen that their identities are unusual.

She thought there would be no harm in saying more good things about Li An.

Chen Xingsheng chatted with Qin Fangfang for a while, and then Li An brought over two steaming bowls of haggis soup.

"I don't know what you two like to eat, but I'll have one each of all the mutton and haggis."

"Very good, very good." Chen Xingsheng brought the mutton soup to his side and handed a few cloves of garlic to Xiao Mingbo.

"Old Xiao, there is an old saying in Yangdong that if you eat meat without garlic, the taste will be half as bad. One bite of meat and one bite of garlic tastes delicious."

Xiao Mingbo waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, I can't stand the smell of raw garlic."

Then Li An brought over several small bowls with chopped green onion, coriander, chili noodles and mutton oil in them.

"I don't know what taboos you two have, so I didn't let you add any extra ingredients. You can add it yourself."

Xiao Mingbo glanced at Li An, smiled and said to Chen Xingsheng: "This young man has great potential to be a secretary. He is very thoughtful in his work."

Xiao Mingbo can tell a person's style of doing things from this little thing.

That is, don’t let the leaders think about anything, but give them plans and let them make choices.

Just like Li An, when he went to serve the mutton soup just now, he didn't ask them what their taboos were. Instead, he brought all the ingredients and let the leader choose. This approach will make the leader very comfortable. I want to choose with me. Later The latter is much easier to decide than the former.

Chen Xingsheng was also quite satisfied, but did not express any opinions.

Li An, who was sitting next to him, understood that if he didn't give any advice, that would be the best advice.

It was impossible for Chen Xingsheng to promise anything in front of him, but he immediately saw from his expression that he had approved of his performance, and that was all.

He just needs to seize the opportunity and accumulate goodwill in Chen Xingsheng's heart through every little thing. .
