Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Seeing Feng Sizhe admit it, Luo Anhai turned his body to the side and said excitedly, "It really is Secretary Feng. Come in."

As for Luo Anhai, although he had been the deputy county chief, that was a few years ago. At that time, because he was in that position, his home had a constant stream of visitors. However, after all these years, he has withdrawn from the political arena of Qiu County. There are fewer and fewer people who know him and can still remember him. Over time, fewer and fewer people come to visit him. This makes him, who always likes the hustle and bustle, a little uncomfortable. Sometimes he often sighs about the decline of times and feels what it feels like to be ignored. But today, the new secretary of the county party committee of Qiu County actually came here to visit him. How can he not be excited and excited?

Feng Sizhe was ushered into the house. As soon as Luo Anhai closed the door, he hurriedly shouted towards the kitchen, "Bing'er, come out quickly, Secretary Feng is here."

A graceful woman in an apron walked out of the kitchen, saying as she walked, "Dad, what Secretary Feng? Which Secretary Feng..." When Luo Bing's eyes met Feng Sizhe's face while she was saying these words, she stopped. She had never thought that the county party secretary would actually come to her home. It was indeed too unexpected.

"What's wrong? Deputy Director Luo, don't you know me? Haha, I think I still need to introduce myself. I am Feng Sizhe, the new secretary of the county party committee of Qiu County." Feng Sizhe looked at Luo Bing standing there, with a look of surprise, disbelief, and satisfaction. You, Luo Bing, wrote me an anonymous letter, which made me feel itchy and unable to sleep. So I will also make a surprise attack today to surprise you and make your heart beat.

"Bing'er, what's wrong with you? Secretary Feng is here to visit us. It's an honor for our family. Why don't you quickly invite Secretary Feng to sit down and prepare some good dishes. Haha, let me see what good wine Secretary Feng brought this time." Luo Anhai was very happy to see Feng Sizhe come to his home, just like a child celebrating the New Year. While instructing his daughter to greet the guests, he took the initiative to reach out and take the two bottles of liquor that Feng Sizhe brought with him. This is the wine that the county party secretary gave to him. It is of extraordinary significance. Besides, this wine looks very unusual, because its packaging is something that Luo Anhai, an old drunkard, has never seen before, because it is the state banquet Maotai that Guo Zhi took from his father and gave to Feng Sizhe.

There are many kinds of Moutai, and there is no doubt that the state banquet Moutai is a very high-specification variety. Generally speaking, these things are used by the state to entertain foreign guests, and occasionally only state ministerial officials can drink a few glasses of these things. However, because Guo Zhi's father is the Deputy Minister of Public Security, and has been doing some security work for foreign guests for a long time, he has the opportunity to get more of this kind of wine. Now it is used by his son to give to Feng Sizhe. Today he took out two bottles and gave them to Luo Anhai. No wonder he didn't recognize it, he had never seen it.

But not having seen it doesn't mean you haven't heard of it. I still remember that when Luo Anhai was the deputy county party committee member, he went to the provincial capital to attend a provincial education conference. He heard a cadre working in the province talk about this kind of wine. But at that time he thought he would never have the hope of tasting it in his lifetime. But he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today, and two bottles at a time. So when Luo Anhai took this wine and saw that it was clearly written on the outer packaging that it was for state banquets, he not only raised his head, but also looked at Feng Sizhe with wide eyes and asked, "Is this the national Moutai for state banquets?"

"Oh, Mr. Luo is really knowledgeable. I have given this kind of wine to my friends many times, but most of them don't know it. It's rare for someone to explain its origin clearly when we meet for the first time like you did." Feng Sizhe flattered Luo Anhai at the right time. Of course, this was not really flattery, because many people could not tell the origin of this wine when they saw it for the first time.

After hearing Feng Sizhe admit that this is indeed the Maotai for the state banquet, Luo Anhai was excited. He only likes two things in his life. One is books. It is precisely because he has read a lot of books and knows a lot of things that he can be qualified as the deputy county magistrate in charge of education. Another hobby is wine. Although he is not very good at drinking, he often gets drunk after drinking half a catty, but this does not affect his love of wine at all. As long as it is good wine, he wants to taste it. Today, Feng Sizhe caters to his preferences and brings him such good wine. How can he be happy?

"That's great. Secretary Feng, please sit with my daughter for a while. I will study this wine to see if it is really the genuine product." Luo Anhai was already impatient and walked towards the kitchen with a bottle of wine in his hand. He wanted to taste it carefully to see if the wine was as delicious as he imagined.

Luo Anhai left, leaving only Feng Sizhe and Luo Bing in the living room.

Luo Bing was still a little nervous when she suddenly had to face the county party secretary alone. This was different from last time. Last time, she didn't know Feng Sizhe's identity, so naturally she didn't have any psychological pressure. But now it was different. When she knew that the person standing in front of him was the county party secretary of Qiu County, it would be a lie if she didn't feel nervous. After all, even when her father was still in office, it was very difficult to be alone with the county party secretary.

Feng Sizhe noticed Luo Bing's nervousness. "Why, are you a little nervous? Don't be afraid. I'm not a tiger. Just treat me as a young man who came to petition."

When Feng Sizhe said this, Luo Bing actually laughed. Thinking back, she had thought of him as a young man who came to report a problem. Thinking back, her colleague Xiao Wang was unwilling to pay attention to him. Imagine if Feng Sizhe had revealed his identity at that time, she and Xiao Wang would probably serve him in another way.

Seeing Luo Bing smile, Feng Sizhe also smiled. What he wanted was to talk to people as a relaxed friend. He didn't want to use his status to pressure people, because the information he got might not be true. "Very good, it's good that you smiled. Come on, let's get to know each other again. My name is Feng Sizhe."

Seeing Feng Sizhe's right hand extended, Luo Bing also quickly extended his right hand, "Hello, Luo Bing, deputy director of the County Party Committee's Petition Office."

"Hello, isn't this good? You don't have to be so nervous. Although I am the county party secretary, I am still a human being, a young man who is not as old as you. Why should you be so nervous, right?"

"What? Do you mean I'm old?" After saying this, Luo Bing couldn't help laughing again, because only then did she understand that Feng Sizhe was just teasing her just to make her relax.

"Secretary Feng, do you have any official business when you come to my father's house this time?" In fact, after Luo Bing asked this question, he secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Of course, if a county party secretary comes to his place, there must be something. Otherwise, do you think he is really idle and has nothing to do, so he comes to the house of a retired deputy county magistrate like you to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?

Feng Sizhe didn't think too much about it, but answered directly, "Yes, I did come here for something, but I haven't eaten yet. I wonder if you guys would agree to have a meal with me?"

If a county party secretary wants to have a meal, there are countless people who would like to exclude him. How could Luo Bing refuse something that was delivered to his door? "Of course, it is our honor to have Secretary Feng come here for dinner. Please wait for a moment. I will do it right away. It will be ready in a moment."

Luo Bing went to cook, and Luo Anhai came out from the secretary's room, holding a small wine glass in his hand. He said with a very satisfied look, "Secretary Feng, the state banquet Moutai is indeed the best Moutai. Its taste is indeed much purer than the Moutai sold in shopping malls. I have to thank you for being able to drink such wine in my life. It is you who helped me realize such a beautiful and unattainable dream."

"Mr. Luo, you are too polite. Since you like wine so much, I am just taking advantage of your kindness. It is also an honor for me." Feng Sizhe nodded with a smile. Seeing how others love wine, and thinking about how I have never tasted Moutai so cherished, don't say, isn't it a bit of a waste of God's gift?

"Haha, Secretary Feng is very modest. Well, since I have already drunk your wine, you can just tell me what your purpose is. I, Luo Anhai, am not someone who doesn't know when to advance or retreat. Since you are praising me like this, I will naturally cooperate with you and will tell you everything I know about your questions."

Luo Anhai was a deputy county chief after all, and at such an old age, he had seen a lot of political ups and downs. This time Feng Sizhe came to his house in such a low-key manner, which was enough to show his sincerity. Otherwise, he could have summoned him to the county committee for a discussion as the county party secretary. Since he was given face like this, he had to give him face, which was the so-called reciprocity.

Feng Sizhe was very pleased with Luo Anhai's straightforwardness. He liked dealing with people like him. In fact, many things in a person's life are very simple, but some people like to complicate simple things to show their uniqueness, which makes many things that were originally easy to solve become complicated, and slowly, life becomes complicated.
