Excellent little farmer

Pang Xiaoli lowered her head, smiled timidly for a long time, then curled her lips and said coquettishly: "Who told you to hit someone so hard? My butt hurts for more than ten days. I thought at that time, as long as the pain lasts for one day , I will harass you for just one day.”

I chuckled, lit a cigarette, and said softly: "Xiaoli, my godfather beats you for your own good, but you are not allowed to hold grudges."

Pang Xiaoli chuckled, shook her head and said, "Godfather, I don't hold any grudges. At that time... I thought it was quite fun."

I snorted, frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be too playful, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later."

Pang Xiaoli made a face, smiled, took the checkers from the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Godfather, let's play checkers for a while."

I nodded and played two games with her. I didn't play seriously, just casually and perfunctorily.

Pang Xiaoli won two games and was smiling from ear to ear. She opened the drink, poured a glass, and handed it to me. With a sly smile in her eyes, she said sweetly: "Daddy, don't you feel bad after losing? Drink Order a drink to defeat the fire."

I hummed, touched the cup, took a sip, shook the chess pieces in front of me, shook my head and said, "No more, Xiaoli is too smart, my godfather can't beat you."

Pang Xiaoli'Oh! With a sound, I stood up from the sofa, turned around, walked around the room, and then entered my bedroom. I looked around for a while, and my eyes suddenly fell on the bedside table, where there was a thick book. , she couldn't help but feel a little curious, so she walked straight over, looked down, and saw the words "Qing Palace Beauty. History" written on it.

Pang Xiaoli was startled for a moment, covered her mouth with her hands and snickered for a long time, then turned around, walked to the door, quietly looked out, and found that I was sitting at the table writing materials. She felt relieved and went back to bed. Next, I sat down and hugged the book "The Romance of the Qing Dynasty." I opened the pages and looked over with a frown. Within a few minutes, I was attracted by the content inside and read it with concentration.

I finished the materials, threw the pen aside, raised my eyes and looked out the window. Seeing that the sky was already dark, I turned around and shouted: "Xiaoli, come out quickly, my godfather will take you back."

Pang Xiaoli responded, put the book in its place reluctantly, walked out with a blushing face, sat next to me and muttered: "Godfather, it's not even eight o'clock yet, why are you rushing so early?" People leave.”

I smiled and said softly: "I went back late because I was afraid your parents would be anxious."

Pang Xiaoli shook her head repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, godfather, don't worry. Mom and dad went to my uncle's house and won't be back until after ten o'clock in the evening. I'm bored at home, so I might as well stay here for a while." .”

I sighed, pointed to the laptop on the table, and said softly: "Then you go and play with the computer. My godfather will take you back later."

Pang Xiaoli nodded, but did not go to get the computer. Instead, she touched the empty cup, tilted her head and looked at me, and whispered: "Daddy, do you feel that your eyelids are heavy now and you really want to sleep?"

I was slightly startled, shook my head and said, "No! My godfather usually sleeps very late."

Pang Xiaoli scratched her head and said hesitantly: "Daddy, have you ever felt hot, that, um... burning feeling?"

I frowned and asked doubtfully: "Which one is on fire?"

Pang Xiaoli nodded slightly and said a little shyly: "It's that...evil fire!"

I couldn't help but dumbfounded, and waved my hands and said: "No, there is no fire at all. You little girl, your mind is full of thoughts!"

Pang Xiaoli touched the drink with some confusion, frowned and said: "It turns out there is no medicine in it! I thought of the nervous look on that person, and thought there was something in the drink?"

I immediately rolled my eyes, slammed the table, and yelled in a low voice: "Xiaoli, you are getting more and more presumptuous, and you dare to test your godfather."

Pang Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Godfather, don't be angry. I won't dare to do it next time."

I frowned, grabbed the drink bottle from her hand, looked at it for a few times, threw it into the trash can, stood up and said, "Okay, my godfather will take you back, so that you don't make trouble."

Pang Xiaoli stood up reluctantly and said with a grimace: "Godfather, there's no need to trouble you. I'll take a taxi back myself."

I smiled slightly, sent her out of the yard, and whispered softly: "Xiaoli, go home quickly and stop wandering around."

Pang Xiaoli nodded, took a few steps forward, but stopped, looked at me with a complicated expression, and said coyly: "Little godfather, I like you."

I stiffened, sighed softly, walked over slowly, patted Pang Xiaoli on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoli, stop thinking nonsense. You are still young. You should focus on your studies. Don't To think about those things.”

Pang Xiaoli pouted, lowered her head and said, "I know, godfather, I will definitely listen to you."

I patted her back gently and said softly: "Go back quickly."

Pang Xiaoli stood on tiptoes, raised her chin, opened her mouth and blew on my face, then she chuckled, turned around and ran away. Not long after, her figure disappeared into the alley.

I shook my head helplessly and murmured: "This little girl is even more willful than Xiaohui."

After Pang Xiaoli returned, she settled down and no longer harassed me with text messages. She also stopped thinking and focused on her studies. She studied late into the night with her books in hand every day. She seemed like a different person. This surprised Pang Jun and his wife. I couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly glad that my precious daughter was finally sensible.

Time flies, and it’s been another week in the blink of an eye. The notice finally came out. According to the arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, I will gather in the provincial capital in the middle of this month and set off with five other cadres to attend Nanyang Technological University. One-year training course for master's degree in public administration for young and middle-aged cadres. But because of my special situation, the leader of the organization department specially told me that I should learn first and come back directly when something happens.

I have heard about this training class for a long time. It is known as the "Mayor's Class" among the people. The main contents of the Mayor's Class are Eastern and Western public management theories, the experience of East Asian countries, and Singapore's public management model.

Since the problems and contradictions encountered by Singapore in its development are very similar to the current situation in China, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has made Singapore the first choice country for overseas training of leading cadres and has cooperated with Nanyang Technological University for many years.

Since the establishment of the Mayor's Class, it has trained many department-level cadres in China. However, due to differences in national conditions, the vast majority of officials have no way to apply Singapore's management system in China after returning to China. After a few sessions, this training activity gradually became tepid. Many people knew that due to various complicated factors, most of the so-called Singapore model would not work in China.

After receiving the notice, I convened a standing committee meeting to arrange the work of the county committee during the study period. In the next year, Tang Yaowen, deputy secretary of the county committee and county magistrate, presided over the work in an all-round way. He adhered to the established work ideas and determinedly Make progress and strive to successfully complete various work goals.

After the meeting, I had an in-depth talk with Tang Yaowen and communicated with several members of the Standing Committee alone. After arranging some important matters, I left Lingtai County on Friday night and returned to the provincial capital.

After dinner, Fang Yunxi handed me a piece of material, then sat across from the coffee table and said with a smile: "Xiaoquan, this is the mining company's operation plan and a list of some equipment that needs to be purchased. It includes a new automated production line. It can significantly increase production capacity and minimize environmental pollution, but the cost is higher."

I took the materials and turned them over carefully. After a long while, I put the materials on the coffee table with a smile, nodded repeatedly and said: "Aunt Yunxi, the plan is very thorough, there are no omissions, but I am now We are still a little undecided, whether to transfer the mineral deposits or invest in it ourselves.”

Fang Yunxi smiled and said softly: "Xiaoquan, although the final analysis results of the survey company have not come out, according to the preliminary judgment of the experts leading the team, the copper resources in that area are conservatively estimated to be more than 2.5 billion. This is not even Including the added value of the associated gold and silver, it would be a pity if it were transferred. If the copper ore could be circulated in our metallurgical equipment, the profit would be multiplied several times."

I smiled slightly, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and muttered: "Well, Aunt Yunxi, since you are sure, we will set up a mining company, but it will be too hard for you."

Fang Yunxi smiled and shook her head, and said softly: "Xiaoquan, you don't have to worry. I am familiar with this project. After all, my father has been working at Yagang for so many years. I have learned from him since I was a child. Many things are similar. , and during this time, I also contacted some of my father’s old colleagues. As long as the factory is built and the equipment is in place, a group of professionals will come to help. There is no need to worry about production matters. I will only focus on sales. "
