Farming and Bend the National Husband

Xia Jiusheng led them into the banquet hall and sat down in the special seats originally prepared for the town leaders.

Since it is prepared for the leader, the location must not be bad, very close to the chairman.

Zhao Zezhong and the others all sat down, the three empty tables were exactly half occupied, and a dozen more people would do.

"Zhao Zezhong, where are the others?" Xia Jiusheng took out his mobile phone and saw that the time was close to eleven o'clock. In 10 minutes, the ceremony would start. If they didn't come, it would be too late.

"It should be here soon! My second brother brought someone here." Seeing Xia Jiusheng's distraught look, Zhao Zezhong patted Xia Jiusheng on the shoulder to comfort him.

The second brother works in the Construction Bureau, and it is very close to here. Even if he walks, it will not take long. My people have arrived from Brother Qi, and they should be there soon. It may take some time to convene people temporarily.

Brother Zhao is coming?Xia Jiusheng was taken aback, stood up quickly, and hurried to the door to greet him.

A car had already stopped at the door, and Zhao Zenan, dressed in a navy blue suit, got out of the car energetically and looked up.

"Second brother." Xia Jiusheng rushed to meet him.

The second brother is already the head of the city bureau at a young age, and Xia Jiusheng felt that it was really rare that he could come here to help because of his help.

"Xiao Xia, the second brother is not late." Zhao Zenan walked over with a smile, held Xia Jiusheng's hand, and asked jokingly.

"It's not too late, it's not too late." Xia Jiusheng said excitedly.

From the time I called Zhao Zezhong to when they came over, it took only ten minutes, which was really fast.Xia Jiusheng thought in his heart, then looked around him, where are the others?

"All come from behind." Seeing that Xia Jiusheng was looking for someone, Zhao Zenan stopped teasing him and pointed to a group of people who came from afar.

Why are there so many people?Xia Jiusheng looked at the group of people, at least twenty years old, what if they can't sit down later?

But of course it's inappropriate to ask someone to go back at this time, Xia Jiusheng is a little helpless, should we add another table to the banquet hall?

"Second brother, let me introduce today's bride and groom to you first." Since you are inviting someone to a wedding, you can't just talk to yourself and leave the bride and groom aside.

"Xiaozhu, Xiaoqian, I wish you a happy wedding, a happy marriage for a hundred years, and an early baby." Zhao Zenan waited for Xia Jiusheng to introduce him, and stretched out his hand, saying enthusiastically, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for coming." Zhu Binyu is also a member of the system, listen to the watch My younger brother introduced that this is the director of the Construction Bureau, and he came up cautiously, and couldn't say clearly how to thank him.

Qian Xiaoli seems to be dreaming at this time, just now some second-generation and rich second-generation officials are nothing more than that, but now even such a big leader has come, and the cousins ​​of the aunt's family should not be proud now, right?

As she thought, her cousin was completely dumbfounded now.

What happened to my cousin's husband's house?The colleagues in the town just refused to come to cheer, why even the deputy director-level cadres came to congratulate now?

He secretly said in his heart that it was very dangerous, if he showed his disdain just now, it would really be embarrassing.

Putting aside the ease with her cousin-in-law's family, she greeted Zhao Zenan with a smile.

Although the family has some money, they don't have the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with such a young deputy director-level leader.

Xia Jiusheng brought these people in, there were really not enough places.

The second uncle discussed it with the bride. Fortunately, there were more or less vacant seats on the bride's relatives' side. Everyone adjusted and finally sat down all the people.

The second uncle, Zhu Honggao, was very happy at this time. Although his colleagues in the town couldn't come, which made him lose face, but Zhao Zenan, the director of the construction bureau, was sitting on the main stage.

"Dear guests, dear friends—" The host has begun to take the stage to preside over the wedding ceremony.

※※※

If a few regiment-level armed police officers entered the wedding scene, the mayor Xu and the others began to feel a little bit hard to laugh, but when Zhao Zenan appeared at the wedding scene, everyone began to regret it.

Who is Zhao Zenan?Everyone here is an old institution, and no one does not know him.

That's the Zhao family from the capital!What does the Zhao family represent?No one understands.

In Chinese official circles, a person with a special background who is transferred to a local agency will always be remembered as quickly as possible, no matter whether his performance is good or bad.

As for Zhao Zenan, it is estimated that most of them remember not only his tall and handsome appearance, his calmness that does not match his age, but also his alienation and politeness towards colleagues around him.

For such a proud son of heaven, there are naturally countless people who want to get close to him, no matter if they are men or women, and no matter what purpose they have.

But they soon discovered that it is really more difficult than going to heaven to get into his eyes, make him have a good impression of you, and get close to you.

That's right, the people of the Zhao family, as long as they work hard and make achievements, they are not afraid of having no one to support them.Unlike them, they need to find ways to expand their social circle, and work hard to let the people above see themselves.

Mayor Xu's background is a deputy mayor of Yucheng City, who is desperately trying to follow Zhao Zenan's path, hoping to use the strength of the Zhao family to climb a step higher.

But until now, he still hasn't received Zhao Zenan's nod, maybe his performance is not good enough, the Zhao family is still investigating him.

Thinking that he was singing against them, Mayor Xu only felt chills on the back of his neck.

Zhu Honggao must hate himself to the bone now. When he sees Zhao Zenan, will he tell Zhao Zenan about himself, and will it affect the old leader's plan?

At this time, he wanted to control himself and stop thinking so wildly, but he couldn't do it anymore.

what to do?what to do?what to do?Mayor Xu was troubled and uneasy, and there was a thin line of sweat on his forehead.

I was only in my early thirties, and compared to the top leaders in other villages and towns, I was considered young and promising. Could it be that I was kicked out so quickly because of this mistake?

The director of the office quietly glanced at his boss, then quickly retracted it, not daring to look again.I felt so regretful that I wanted to hit the wall.

I am really thankless now, and I am not a human being on both sides.

Originally, Mayor Xu didn't go to Mayor Zhu's wedding, it was just a trivial matter, if he didn't pretend to be smart, at worst he wouldn't go, anyway, some people would go anyway.

I just want to flatter my boss, so I deliberately spread this matter, which is tantamount to secretly warning others. If you go, it means that I and Mayor Xu are not on the same side. You should think carefully before deciding whether to go or not.

The consequence of this is that, except for a few direct subordinates of Mayor Zhu who ignored their threats and went, no one else went.

This is tantamount to self-assessment without Mayor Xu's permission, forcing the people present to tear their faces together with Mayor Zhu, and not to give Mayor Zhu face.

If there were no accidents like just now, Mayor Xu would definitely appreciate his loyalty.

After all, Mayor Xu has not been wanting to deal with Mayor Zhu for a day or two. Today's incident is also an opportunity.

But if something happened, his own behavior would definitely become someone else's scapegoat.

Looking at the meaningful eyes of the deputy mayors around him, the office director's heart sank little by little, and dense sweat broke out on his forehead.

When the dishes were served, the waiter put the dishes on the turntable and swiped lightly to transfer the dishes to Mayor Xu. He gave the name of the dishes and asked them to take it slowly.

"Slow down." Mayor Xu stood up abruptly, and angrily slapped the table, startling the waiter.

"Mayor Xu—" the office director stood up silently, his voice was as soft as the whimpering of a dog abandoned by its owner.

He is really scared now. If Mayor Xu really takes out his anger on him and makes him lose this position, what should he do?

Mayor Xu ignored him, walked quickly to the window, took out a cigarette and lit one, and exhaled slowly, feeling very uncomfortable.

※※※

The NUS wedding is still going on.

Witnessed by relatives and friends, the well-dressed bride and groom put on wedding diamond rings symbolizing marriage and hugged each other happily.

When the bride threw the bouquet, all the unmarried girls crowded forward, and some rolled up their sleeves exaggeratedly, ready to grab it.

I don't know if the bride was too strong, the bouquet actually flew over the girl and flew towards Xia Jiusheng who was chatting with Bai Qishun and Zhao Zezhong in the distance.

"Xiao Xia catch it." Bai Qishun next to him was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he pushed Xia Jiusheng, and the bouquet fell on Xia Jiusheng's chest.

Xia Jiusheng subconsciously caught something that fell on his chest, only to realize that he had picked up the bride's bouquet.

The girls angrily went to find the bride to settle accounts, blaming him for throwing them so far on purpose, but no one was ashamed to blame Xia Jiusheng.

"I'm a man, it doesn't count if I take it, the bride will throw it away again." Xia Jiusheng picked up the bouquet, waved it to Qian Xiaoli, and shouted embarrassedly.

"Are you kidding me? How can you throw this away again?" Bai Qishun glanced at Zhao Zezhong and teased with a smile. "Xiaoxia is lucky, you will be the next one to marry."

"Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense." Xia Jiusheng said angrily as he stuffed the flower into Bai Qishun's hand.

I am a pure man, not that kind of coquettish little shou.

He didn't like being treated as a girl by Zhao Zezhong's friends at all.

Mother Xia saw her son receiving the bouquet from a distance, and her smile suddenly faded when she was talking with relatives around her.

※※※

If ordinary people knew what happened at the wedding, they would just talk about it, and it passed quickly.

But the officialdom is a special place, and there are quite a few people with seven orifices and exquisite hearts. This matter, whether it is big or small, quickly spread in Yucheng officialdom.

Those who spread the word must have their own positions.Some people do it purely to make matters worse and confuse the water so that they can fish in troubled waters.Some people just like to watch good shows, and they feel comfortable watching others make embarrassments.

Deputy Mayor Hong, who was having dinner with his family, heard his cronies tell him the incident vividly, and was so angry that he couldn't eat anymore.

This little Xu is still too young!

I thought that although he was only in his early thirties, he had been by his side for a long time, and if he was sent to the town and honed for a few years, he should be able to stand alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I put it down, without my own teaching and discipline, the frivolous side and self-willedness of my temperament were all exposed.

Doesn't he understand that politics is the place where compromise is the most important, and no one can act arbitrarily.When getting along with colleagues, you must maintain a minimum of etiquette. Even if you don't like the other party, you can't tear your face and leave no room for it.

Well now, he thought he was smart enough to slap someone in the face, but instead he was slapped severely.

The most troublesome thing is that this matter is still related to that Zhao Zenan.

Xiao Xu brought it out by himself, I don't know if he thought that he was instigating Xiao Xu to do this, as revenge for Zhao Zenan not helping him.

If you let him think like this, then he will be in big trouble.

It is very difficult to make Zhao Zenan like himself, but it can be done every minute to make him hate him.

If he was really angry, the Zhao family would stretch out his hand casually, and he would be finished.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, took out his phone, and cursed at him.

※※※

Mayor Xu didn't expect the old leader to know about this so quickly, and he was so angry with himself.

He was a person who was prone to anger, and at this moment he wished he could kick the office director out of the door.

It was this person who thought he was smart and self-assertive, and turned his behavior, which had no special meaning, into a purposeful collective boycott.

"Yes, yes. I'll go right away." He responded repeatedly.

He didn't dare to argue in front of the old leader, that would only make the old leader think he was shirking responsibility.If the old leader is given the impression that he does not take responsibility, then his official career is really over.

Seeing that Mayor Xu hung up the phone with an ugly face, none of the people present dared to speak out, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.

Mayor Xu glared at them angrily, stood up and walked out.

Although Zhu Honggao would make fun of him if he went now, he had no other choice.

If he put down his face and said more good things to expose this matter, he would admit it.

It would be too late if people went to make amends after the wedding banquet was over.

Seeing Mayor Xu leaving in a hurry, the driver ran out to follow behind, not daring to ask him where he was going.

Seeing Mayor Xu walking away, the rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The hotel's dishes were still being served on the table. The last courageous deputy mayor moved his chopsticks first, and everyone reacted and started to eat together.

That's right, it's all like this, and it's too late to regret it now, since Mayor Xu has left, they eat as much as they want, and drink as much as they want, and if something happens, there will naturally be a tall man to take care of it.

※※※

When Mayor Xu got into the car and said blankly to go to National University, the driver heaved a sigh of relief, closed the door silently, started the car, and headed for National University.

The wedding venue was easy to find. The names of Zhu Binyu and Qian Xiaoli were hung at the door of a large banquet hall.

After getting off the car, Mayor Xu waved the driver to leave. He stood at the door to collect himself, rubbed his hands and rubbed his face, then pursed his lips to calm his face, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

In Fuli's magnificent banquet hall, the banquet had already begun. Mayor Xu walked towards the rostrum with a smile on his face. When he saw Zhu Honggao from a distance, he shouted loudly: "I'm sorry, Lao Zhu, I have something to do today. late--"

Zhu Honggao had already toasted Zhao Zenan with a glass of wine, and had another drink with his in-laws. At this time, his face was flushed and he was chatting with his in-laws about their children, when he was suddenly interrupted by exaggerated laughter. He looked up and saw Mayor Xu, and suddenly Standing up, his expression changed.

Didn't you say that you don't want to come and embarrass yourself?It's already this time, what else is he doing here?

Zhu Honggao is not a fool. What the other party did today was to slap him in the face without any disguise. No matter how good-tempered he is, it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened.

Now that his face has been torn apart, what does it mean that he is still here now?

"Your mayor has a lot of work, so we can't hire your boss?" Zhu Honggao said sarcastically, now that he was angry.

"Old Zhu, it's your fault for saying that. My eldest nephew is getting married. How can I not come? Although there is a temporary delay, I have to come here no matter how late!" Mayor Xu said while taking out a red envelope , with a sincere face and stuffed it into his hand. "The red envelope for my eldest nephew has already been prepared, don't be too little—"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhu Honggao didn't know what to do with the opponent's posture so low.

Although he knew that the other party wasn't telling the truth, he couldn't say harsh words if he stretched out his hand and didn't slap the smiling face.

Besides, this is my son's wedding, and it's not auspicious to be noisy.Parents want to have a harmonious and beautiful wedding, and it goes smoothly.

After receiving the red envelope, Zhu Honggao stood up helplessly and asked the waiter to add an extra seat.

Mayor Xu was relieved to see that Zhu Honggao didn't throw himself out.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu is a real person. If he changes his personality to be a little more extreme, he will not let him down, so that he can't step down, it will be really troublesome.

Zhao Zenan already knew what happened here when his cousin called him to save the scene.It's just that his city will not show it easily. Seeing Mayor Xu looking at him and greeting him with a surprised look, although he was disdainful in his heart, he greeted him with his expression unchanged.

But the bride and groom hated him. After seeing him coming, they didn't come over to toast him.

※※※

The wedding finally passed without any risk.

After the banquet was over, Xia Jiusheng's family left Mother Xia here to help, and the others went home first.

With so many things going on at home, Wen Yue is the only one taking care of it, so I don't know how busy he is?

Although Xia Jiusheng wanted to be lazy, Xia's father kept talking about it, and he was embarrassed to keep doing it, so he had to go home and honestly go to Da'ao to help.

After Da'ao was cut into several large pieces by the excavator, the approximate distribution can be seen clearly.The first step is naturally to build roads and courtyards.But the orchard should also be started early, and the fruit trees should be planted before spring.

He had already entrusted Nie Hongjun with buying fruit tree seedlings.

Because the quantity required is relatively large, and I hope the variety is better and the price is more reasonable.Only Nie Hongjun, a professor at the Agricultural University, can be invited to act.

He has dealt with various large seedling bases for a long time, so he has the way and relationship network in this area, which is easy to do.

In order for Xia Jiusheng to promise to give him wine, Nie Hongjun also worked hard. He personally went to several seedling companies in the past few days. After careful comparison, he picked the one he was most satisfied with, negotiated the price, and personally pressed the seedlings. come over.

The wine with the most health-care effect can only be brewed with a good variety. Nie Hongjun dare not be careless about these details.

As soon as the seedlings in several large trucks were transported to Da'ao, people had to be arranged to plant them immediately. There must not be enough people in the family, so Dad Xia had to go to the village to ask for help.

Anyone can plant trees, and there are a lot of laborers in the village who stay at home during the Spring Festival. I heard that Xia Jiusheng's family pays [-] yuan a day.

With a lot of people and a lot of power, the thousands of grape seedlings moved back were planted in two days.

So Nie Hongjun continued to look for kiwi seedlings, and the foundation of the courtyard was dug, and finally started construction.

※※※

Xia Jiusheng was very busy here, and Mr. Zhao in the capital was not idle either. He called Zhao Zezhong every day to ask about the progress of the Da'ao project and when the courtyard house would be completed.

Because I will often live there in the future, the old man cares about it no less than Xia Jiusheng.

There is such a large open space inside the courtyard. The old man is also very concerned about what kind of flowers and trees to plant. He told his son and grandson to go outside to find a few thick old trees and transplant them in the yard over there. .

As for the decoration style of the room, what materials and furniture to use, he also gave a lot of opinions, and urged them to hurry up and order it.

The size of the courtyard house is so large and there are so many rooms. Naturally, it is impossible for the family to live in all of them. At least half of them will be reserved as guest rooms and rented out to guests who come to Da’ao for sightseeing. As long as the decoration is simple and healthy, the speed will be much faster. .

Due to the private care and support of the Zhao family, the progress of Da'ao was very fast. Before we knew it, all the roads had been built and the stone slabs were paved, which looked ancient.

The structure of the courtyard has also been set up, waiting for the decoration and room separation.

As for the vineyards, kiwi orchards and strawberry orchards, the outer walls have been built, leaving only the bayberry orchards, cherry orchards, and blueberry orchards planned to be built on the mountain, which have not yet started construction.

By this time, Xia Jiusheng and Wen Yue were not in a hurry anymore. Anyway, their original plan was to get the ground part done first, and the mountain part could be taken slowly.

Looking in from the outside, the rudiment of Da'ao has already emerged, but it's a pity that it's not spring yet, and the trees haven't sprouted yet, so the effect can't be seen.

When the spring blossoms and the planted seedlings grow leaves and bloom, Da'ao must be a thriving, vibrant and beautiful scene.

In order to prevent the seedlings inside from sprouting early and being seen as flawed, Xia Jiusheng didn't dare to water them.

I can only wait for spring to come, and then water it when everyone is not paying attention.

However, Xia Jiusheng hopes to plant beautiful bougainvilleas, vine roses and other plants on both sides of Qingshi Road, and then build an arched flower bridge.
