Riverside police

At 4:27 p.m., Xiao Gong paid homage to his bride at the new house in accordance with the customs of his hometown, and took a wedding car to the Sailors Club.

The young couple went upstairs to say hello to Secretary Miao, Chief Zeng and other leaders and elders. Surrounded by colleagues and comrades such as Xiaoyu, Guo Weitao, Chen Jian and others, they returned to the lobby on the first floor to prepare to welcome the guests.

Wu Heng, wearing a suit and leather shoes with flowers on his chest, served as the best man.

Wu Heng's fiancée was also dressed up carefully today and served as the bride's bridesmaid.

Xiao Gong's cousin and cousin-in-law, as well as the bride's cousin and cousin-in-law, sat behind a long table covered with red velvet and became "Mr. Accountants". They were responsible for collecting gifts from the man's relatives and friends and the woman's relatives and friends respectively. Who contributed how much? The money must be recorded so that Xiao Gong can repay the favor in the future.

As soon as everything was ready, the leaders, relatives and friends from my hometown arrived.

In order to invite relatives and friends from his hometown to Binjiang for a wedding banquet, Lao Gong specially rented a luxury bus from the bus station.

Deputy Minister of the County Armed Forces Department, Deputy Director of the County Transportation Bureau, the deputy mayor of his hometown, Director Huang of the police station, the leaders and colleagues of the traffic control station, the village party secretary, village director, security director, accountant, women's director, and the small Gong's principal, teachers, and relatives from school, a total of more than fifty people came!

Xu Haoran, Jiang Shengqi, Guo Weitao and other colleagues from the smuggling crime investigation branch quickly helped greet the guests and invited the guests from afar to come in and sit down.

Xiaoyu hurriedly ran to the private room on the second floor, looked at the list of the man’s relatives and friends provided by Xiao Gong’s father, or to be precise, the list of leaders from his hometown, and said with a smile: “Zeng Guan, Bureau Zhang, Xiao Gong’s hometown has a deputy director!”

Chief Zeng, who had just played two cards under the humility of Political Commissar Jiang, raised his head and asked: "Which bureau is the deputy director?"

"Deputy director of the Dujiang County Transportation Bureau." Afraid that the elders would not understand the situation, Xiaoyu thought about it and explained: "Xiao Gong's father works at the traffic control station, so he invited the leaders of the Transportation Bureau and the town leaders."

"Deputy Director of the County Transportation Bureau..." Chief Zeng looked at Lao Ge subconsciously.

How could Lao Ge not know what Chief Zeng was thinking? He put down his cards and said with a smile, "So we are colleagues. I'll go down to help receive them."

He is just the deputy director of the Transportation Bureau. Not only did you serve as transportation director, but you were also promoted to deputy director after leaving office. You must be flattered when you go down to receive her.

Chief Zeng held back his laughter and asked: "Besides the deputy director of the Transportation Bureau, who are the other leaders?"

"The deputy minister of the county armed forces department and the deputy mayor of their hometown." Xiaoyu looked at the list again and couldn't help but ask: "Zeng Guan, is the deputy mayor considered a leader?"

"Of course, he is the parent officer of Xiao Gong's hometown." Chief Zeng smiled and asked: "Xiaoyu, did Xiao Gong invite Yang Jianbo from the Linghai Armed Forces Department?"

"Definitely please."

"Has Yang Jianbo arrived?"

"Just arrived. I came with Li Jun from the border inspection station. They are talking to Xiao Gong in the lobby."

"Ask Yang Jianbo and Li Jun to accompany the man from the Armed Forces Department."

As soon as Zeng Guan finished speaking, Liu Degui stood up on his own initiative: "Dear leaders, Ge Tiao and I will go down together to accompany you. I happened to be the deputy mayor before."

Xiaoyu always noticed that the leaders in the man's hometown should also pay attention to reciprocity, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "The principal of Xiao Gong's junior high school is also here."

"Xiaoyu, I'll go down with Ge Diao and Director Liu." Principal Gao realized that something was going on, and he chuckled: "Even though I have been working in the education system for decades, I really haven't had much communication with my colleagues in Yangzhou. .”

"The village cadres from Xiao Gong's hometown are also here."

"Village cadres... village cadres..."

Chief Zeng was immediately troubled. The administrative level of the "woman's relatives and friends" was generally higher, and even Xiaoyu was a serious official. It was not easy to find an equivalent village cadre.

Principal Gao was happy and said quickly: "Zeng Guan, Liu Zhishu from Bailonggang is also here."

"Where are the others?"

"He has never been to the city before. He just said he was going out for a walk. He couldn't have gone far. He should be nearby."

"Xiaoyu, go look for him quickly and ask Party Secretary Liu to come and accompany him."

"No need to look for it, I have Party Secretary Liu's pager number."

"Hurry up." Zeng Guan smiled, raised his head and said, "Teacher Li, Ge Diao is going downstairs to help Xiao Gong accompany the guests. Don't sit there. You help Ge Diao fight, and we will continue."

You are both leaders, and leaders who are just starting out. What’s the point of playing cards with you?

Before retiring, Li Weiguo wanted to give face to the leader. Now that he has retired, he doesn't want to accompany the leader anymore. He stood up and said with a smile: "Zeng Guan, Bureau Zhang, let Lao Zhang accompany you to fight. Isn't the chief of the police station from Xiao Gong's hometown here? I'm going downstairs. Go and accompany the police station chief in Xiao Gong’s hometown.”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, come here, we have reached 4!"

Xiao Gong is an anti-smuggling policeman in the customs system. As the top leader of Binjiang Customs, Zeng Guan must help make arrangements.

While shuffling the cards, he asked in confusion: "Why is the deputy minister of the Armed Forces Department from Xiao Gong's hometown also here?"

Lao Zhang watched Han Yu grow up and also watched Xiao Gong grow up. He knew Xiao Gong's situation very well and explained with a smile: "Didn't Xiao Gong go to Beihu with Xianyu to fight the flood? He made great contributions during the flood fight. , and it was a military merit. Ge Tiao asked the head of the army who was in charge of our Linghai Reserve Battalion to send a letter to the Armed Forces Department in Xiao Gong’s hometown. After receiving the letter, they beat gongs and drums to send the good news to Xiao Gong’s family. "

"It turns out it's because of this invitation. This guest is a good one."

…

My son got married, and the biggest thing was finally accomplished.

Although he owed a lot of debt for helping his son buy a house and hold a wedding, Comrade Gong was still very happy.

While he asked the leaders of his hometown to sit down, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Minister Ding, Director Wang, Mayor Qian, I'm sorry to have you come so far to have a wedding banquet."

"What's the point of being embarrassed? It's an honor for us to come and drink your Gong Jian's wedding wine. Besides, we've never been to Binjiang, so we just came to see what Binjiang is like."

"Minister Ding, this is the Binjiang Port Authority. There are docks in front, east and west. The dock here is larger than our Yangzhou Port, and all the ships that come here to load and unload are tens of thousands of tons of seagoing ships!"

"Binjiang is close to the entrance to the sea, and the channel is deeper than our side. Large ocean ships can only drive here, not our side." Deputy Director Wang of the Transportation Bureau lamented.

Just as he was talking, Xu Haoran and Xiaoyu came over accompanied by Lao Ge and others.

Lao Gong had been to Binjiang more than once before and to Bailong Port more than once. He knew Lao Ge and quickly stood up to greet him: "Ge Diao, can you please drink my Gong Jian's wedding wine? My family is really prosperous!"

"It's not like he's an outsider, but he's still thriving. Is it that exaggerated?" Lao Ge held Lao Gong's hand tightly, looked at the leaders Lao Gong invited from his hometown with a smile, and said with a smile: "Stationmaster Gong, we I was entrusted by your Gong Jian and Township Chief Li to accompany guests from Yangzhou, please introduce me."

Xiao Gong's father-in-law had been the deputy mayor of the township and was very familiar with Lao Ge. Lao Ge not only wanted to help Xiao Gong save face, but also wanted to help his former colleagues save face.

Lao Gong didn't know why, so he was really flattered and quickly introduced him.

The deputy researcher of a county-level city is the city leader of a county-level city!

Deputy Minister Ding, Deputy Director Wang and Deputy Mayor Qian were immediately in awe. Lao Ge lost no time in introducing Yang Jianbo, Li Jun, Li Weiguo and Principal Gao who were accompanying them.

One-on-one, we are all colleagues, and we quickly chatted together.

Although the Fourth Factory is not as far from the city as Yangzhou is to Binjiang, it is still some distance away.

Like Lao Gong, Xiao Gong's father-in-law rented two buses from Linghai Bus Station and brought his relatives and friends over for the wedding banquet.

With the arrival of the woman's relatives and friends, there were more and more guests in the banquet hall.

Xiaoyu, Xu Haoran, Guo Weitao, Jiang Shengqi and others helped arrange the seats. Deputy Minister Ding and Deputy Director Wang looked more and more strangely.

Logically speaking, they are relatives and friends of the man, and they are all cadres. Even if they are not arranged to sit at the main table, they should be arranged to sit in the front seats next to the main table. But the anti-smuggling police officers who helped had no arrangements, and the tables in front were actually empty.

At this time, Han Xiangning arrived with her parents and little Hanhan in her arms.

Xiao Gong said happily: "Mayor Han, Worker Han, Aunt Xiang, you are finally here, please come inside!"

The bride and Xiao Gong have been paying New Year greetings to Han Yu every Spring Festival for the past two years. She is very familiar with Han Xiangning. She smiled sheepishly and said: "Hanhan is so beautiful and cute. Mayor Han, let me hug you."

"You are the bride today, how can you hold a child? If you really want to hold a child, give birth to one yourself!"

"Mayor Han, why are you laughing at me?"

"I'm not laughing at you, we are just here to wish you a happy wedding and a baby soon."

Han Xiangning was teasing the bride, when Han Gong smiled and asked, "Xiao Gong, where is the salted fish?"

"The Korean Bureau has gone to invite Mayor Ye."

"Which Mayor Ye?"

"That's our former Secretary Ye from Linghai."

"Xiao Gong, you can do it. You can even invite Mayor Ye!"

Han Gong was surprised, and Xiao Gong quickly explained.

Han Xiangning saw that everyone paid their share of the money before entering, so she simply walked to the "sign-in desk", looked through the account book, and asked in a low voice: "Hello, has my Han Yu 'signed in'?"

She does not know the bride's cousin, but the bride's cousin knows her.

Just when the bride's cousin didn't know what to say, Xiaoyu came out to greet him: "Sister Ningning, hurry over and take photos with the groom and the bride. After taking the photos, go inside and sit down."

"Did Xianyu give you any red envelopes?"

"He went to pick up Secretary Ye. When he left, the table hadn't been moved out yet."

"So he doesn't have a bag?"

"No."

How can you go in to drink wedding wine and eat wedding candies if you don’t have the money?

Besides, her status is different. She can be called the master's wife, so she can't express it.

What's more important is that a maximum of two people can come to have a wedding banquet. If your own family doesn't come, you will be a family and occupy half of the other person's table.

Han Xiangning felt that she couldn't just go in like this, so she happened to have money with her, so she found a piece of red paper and wrapped it, handed it to the bride's cousin, and said with a smile: "This is a little bit of our thoughts, just write Han Yu and Han Xiangning on it."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"It should."

Xiao Gong, who was talking to Han Gong, saw Mayor Han handing out money and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Han Gong.

The banquet hall was full of people, and Han Xiangning was about to ask where to sit. Xiaoyu said that Secretary Miao, Zeng Guan and Director Zhang were all upstairs, so he went over to say hello to Lao Ge, Lao Li and others to accompany his father. Mom first went upstairs to say hello to the old leaders and elders.

"Who was the city leader just now?" Deputy Director Wang asked in surprise.

"Mayor Xiao Han is the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee of Changzhou." Lao Ge smiled slightly and said lightly: "Mayor Xiao Han's lover is Han Yu from the Changhang Public Security Bureau who supports Xiao Gong. If Han Yu is Xiao Gong, Gong’s master, Mayor Xiao Han is Xiao Gong’s master wife.”

Xiao Gong is quite capable, and he actually has such a relationship with the city leaders of Changzhou.

Deputy Director Wang and others were secretly frightened, and it was even more lively outside.

Yang Jianbo looked back and said with a smile: "Everyone, Mayor Shen of Linghai is here. You guys sit down while I go say hello to the city leaders."

"Let's go together."

"There's no need to be so polite. Besides, Mayor Shen can't control you no matter how high his position is."

As soon as Yang Jianbo stood up, Shen Fan raised his hand to greet Lao Ge: "Ge Diao, Chen Jiang just called and asked about Xianyu. Secretary Ye will be here soon. You guys sit down first and I'll wait at the door."

"Let's go together. I'll go too." There are so many leaders in Linghai and even Binjiang. The one Lao Ge respects the most is Secretary Ye. After all, a man must appreciate his kindness. If Secretary Ye hadn't given him the opportunity, how could he, a cadre who had been relegated to the second line, be able to Bring up the secondary tune.

Lao Ge stood up and walked towards the hall, and Yang Jianbo quickly chased after him.

Deputy Minister Ding and Deputy Director Wang were confused and asked curiously: "Director Liu, which leader is Ge Tiao and Mayor Shen of Linghai?"

Liu Degui smiled and said: "Wait for our former Linghai City Secretary W, who is also your Vice Mayor Ye of Yangzhou."

Vice Mayor Ye is not only the deputy mayor of Yangzhou, but also a member of the Standing Committee of the Yangzhou Municipal Party Committee!

Vice Minister Ding, Deputy Director Wang and other Dujiang cadres couldn't believe that the city leaders would come to drink Xiao Gong's wedding wine. They stood up hurriedly and said: "Director Liu, you sit down first. Our Yangzhou city leaders came to drink the wedding wine, so we also I have to go out to pick him up."

The county magistrate is better off taking charge now!

No matter how old Vice Mayor Ye is, he is still separated from you by Dujiang County.

Mayor Shen and Lao Ge went out to greet him. That was because Vice Mayor Ye was their old leader. What does it have to do with you guys? Is it so exaggerated?

Seeing that every cadre in Yangzhou was too busy to leave, Liu Degui, Li Weiguo and others looked at each other and found it difficult to understand the actions of Deputy Minister Ding and Deputy Director Wang. You must know that if you were in Linghai, everyone would not be so eager to curry favor with the city leaders. For most department-level cadres in Linghai, only the city leaders in Linghai are leaders.

"Director Liu, Teacher Li, what should we do now?" Principal Gao asked, scratching his neck.

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since we don't need to accompany them, let's go find our place and come over later to toast them with a drink."

"Okay, our location seems to be over there."

…

What happened next shocked the cadres in Xiao Gong's hometown.

The entire wedding was like a conference. First, the leaders of Xiao Gong's work unit came on stage to introduce the leaders and guests attending the wedding today. Then they introduced the officiant tonight and invited the former vice chairman of the Binjiang Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference to the stage.

The leaders who came to have a wedding banquet each had higher positions than the last. There were more than a dozen major and deputy departments, and the majors and minors were not ranked at all.

The person who presides over the marriage is the deputy director, and the witness is the actual deputy director!

After a series of ceremonies, Secretary Miao raised his wine glass, announced the start of the meal on behalf of the bride and groom and their parents, and invited talented relatives and friends to sing on stage.

As soon as Deputy Minister Ding and Deputy Director Wang recovered, leaders from various units in Binjiang lined up to toast them and thank them for cultivating such a good young man as Xiao Gong in Binjiang.

Those who come to toast are all leaders who can only look up to them at ordinary times. This wine must be drunk.

As a result, just three hot dishes were served, and before the bride and groom came over to toast, everyone from Vice Minister Ding to the village cadres was drunk.

Han Yu didn't know how to drink, so he sat at the table of women and children as usual.

Xiao Hanhan was full after eating for a while, so she jumped off the chair and ran around.

Lao Li gave her wedding candies, as did elders such as Lao Zhang and Lao Ding. She came back with a box of wedding candies and unknowingly took dozens of boxes, so that Han Xiangning had to find a convenience bag to put them in.

Han Yu looked at his daughter's happy look and whispered: "Ning Ning, I'm busy picking up Mayor Ye in the afternoon, and I haven't given the bride a red envelope yet."

"I gave."

"Did you give it? How much did you give?"

"Same as Xiaoyu and the others."

"Then I don't have to give it anymore."

"If you have money, you can also give me another red envelope."

"I have no money!"

"That's it." Han Xiangning looked forward and then leaned into his ear: "Xiao Gong is your apprentice, and I helped you with the favor. I won't ask you for the two hundred yuan, I'll keep it for you. New Year flowers.”

Just when I was thinking about "earning" two hundred, I was happy for less than three seconds, but the New Year's pocket money was not given to me.

Han Yu subconsciously touched his pocket and said angrily: "There are two hundred, which should be enough for the New Year."
