Rebirth as an official

"We are not afraid that the village will know that we have saved money again in the village." Sun Gouzi said.

"What do you mean? Tell me in detail." Li An became interested.

Sun Gouzi said angrily:

"A few years ago, Uncle Zhong made a report to the village, saying that the village was going to build a road. Then people from the village came down to conduct inspections. They went through a lot of procedures and the shadow of the road was not seen yet. The money in the village Most of it has been spent. Who will dare to report again in the future? The little money our village has saved is not enough for your township cadres..."

"That's enough, Sun Gouzi, talking nonsense." Tong Shizhong scolded Sun Gouzi's next words.

However, Li An saw that the timing of the old party secretary's scolding was very good. He waited until Sun Gouzi had finished saying what he needed to say before interrupting. What a smart person.

Li An turned to Xu Kai and said, "Remember this and remind me when I get back. I need to check carefully to see if this situation exists in other villages."

Xu Kai nodded and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a dark thing."

Li An thought for a while and said, "Secretary Tong, when you are preparing to build the road, just tell me directly that I will approve the note. This time I guarantee that no one will dare to come and ask for the card."

When the old branch secretary heard this, he was delighted and said quickly: "Head Li, I thank you on behalf of all the people in the village."

But at this time, Sun Gouzi was pouring cold water on him, "It's a beautiful thing to say, but I'm afraid that by the time Li Xiang's strip is approved, the people who come down won't be the same. We'll change the soup without changing the medicine."

Li An was not angry when he heard Sun Gouzi's slightly sarcastic words. He smiled and said to Sun Gouzi: "Director Sun, don't be resentful. I will give you a pat on the back for this matter. When you build the road this time, people from the countryside will It will definitely not be the same as last time.”

"Haha, I hope so." The corners of Sun Gouzi's mouth moved, his expression clearly unbelieving.

Li An patted Xu Kai on the shoulder and said, "I will arrange for the director of our Party and Government Office to personally supervise this time. There is absolutely no problem. If he dares to take advantage of the situation, tell me and I will deduct his salary."

When Xu Kai heard Li Anyou mention him, he looked like a black man with a question mark on his face.

Why did this happen to me again? I provoked you.

I am working as your driver and then as your supervisor.

The long-term workers of the landlord’s family didn’t do this, right?

The group of people walked for more than ten minutes and arrived at the old party secretary's home.

The old party secretary's house was built quite well, a two-story building, with a small courtyard in front of which two or three children were playing.

As soon as the old party secretary reached the entrance of the yard, he called out, "Mother, we have guests, please make a fire to cook."

"okay."

A person came out of the rightmost room on the first floor. She was an aunt in her 50s, who must be the wife of the old party secretary.

After Li An and his group walked into the living room and sat down, women in their 27s and [-]s walked out of the back room. They had dark skin and ordinary looks.

She came over with a tea tray and enthusiastically served everyone a cup of tea.

"This is our little daughter Honghong. She just returned to her parents' home these days."

"The old party secretary is so lucky. He has a son and two daughters, which makes others envious." Li An said with a smile.

"We country people don't have much knowledge, but we value having more children and more happiness, which makes the mayor laugh." The expression on the old party secretary's face showed that he was still very satisfied with his current life.

Qiu Yating quietly asked Xu Kai next to her, "How does Li An know that this old party secretary has a son or two daughters? I don't see anything like a group photo in the living room to prove it."

Xu Kai explained in a low voice: "Generally in rural areas, it is necessary to have sons. It is best to have two sons. The old party secretary said that the three girls who just walked out mean that the old party secretary has three children. One of them must be Son, otherwise the old branch secretary would definitely have another baby."

Qiu Yating still didn't understand, "That could be two sons and one daughter. How come Li An is so sure it's two daughters and one son."

"Look at that little kid." Xu Kai pointed outside the house

Qiu Yating followed Xu Kai's hand and saw a child running wildly with an older child.

"Is there anything strange about him?"

Qiu Yating observed the child for a long time and found nothing different.

"Did you see the little braid on the back of that boy's head?" Xu Kai further guided.

"It's called Du Miao, which means to bless the child to grow up. This means that this child is at least three generations of a single generation. If this child is a single generation, it means that the old party secretary has only one son."

"That's it. I didn't expect to know so much." Qiu Yating looked at him differently.

"That's right, don't even look at who I am." Xu Kai was very proud when he heard this, and gently stroked his hair with his hand, with a handsome gesture.

"As expected of Mayor Li, he is so meticulous in his observations."

The words Qiu Yating added almost made Xu Kai's waist flash.

The co-author was just praising Li An, and it has nothing to do with him.

Li An smiled and said nothing. It would not be so hard to visit with these two people along the way.

"Mr. Li, let's try this tea. It's the wild tea we picked ourselves. It tastes pretty good." The old party secretary invited everyone to drink tea.

Although Li An didn't like to drink it, he still took a sip out of politeness. To be honest, Li An couldn't taste any difference from other teas, except that it was bitter.

However, seeing the old party secretary looking at me eagerly, it would be inappropriate not to comment.

When Li An was searching for words to praise, he saw Xu Kai take a sip of tea first, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

After taking a few more sips, he tasted it and said, "Old party secretary, your tea is very good. I think it is no worse than Mao Feng and Biluochun."

"Hey~ you still know about tea?" Li An looked at Xu Kai with some surprise.

"Just kidding, I used to have someone teach tea art classes at home. Although this tea was overheated when frying, you can still drink the astringent, clear and fragrant tea. The quality is very high... ..”

Li An was dizzy after hearing Xu Kai's professional terminology. Although he didn't understand it, he had an unclear feeling.

"Director Xu likes it, take some back and drink it slowly when you leave." The old party secretary said smoothly.

This is tea roasted by the old party secretary himself and is not valuable. It is very cost-effective to please the leader.

"Then thank you, old party secretary." Xu Kai was very happy to hear this.

Li An said in a low voice, "You have to pay according to the market price."

Xu Kai: "..."

After a few people sat and chatted for a while, they saw the fat man carrying a large foldable round table to the center of the living room.

After Erpang unfolded the folding table and fixed it, Honghong, the daughter of the old branch secretary, put various dishes on the table.

The meals prepared by the old party secretary at home can be said to be quite sumptuous, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

"Chief Li, Chief Qiu, and Director Xu, please come and take a seat." The old branch secretary stood up and greeted everyone to take their seats.

Li An looked at the delicacies on the table and praised: "Old party secretary, your preparation is so grand."

The old party secretary said: "Just take a bite of the simple food in the countryside."

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, they began to eat.
