Farming and Bend the National Husband

I got up in the morning and went to the backyard. I saw that there was frost last night. There was a light layer of white on the grass roots by the ditch. It was not thick, but it gave people a particularly cold feeling. Looking at the weather forecast on the phone, the temperature was indeed below zero. up.

When talking, there will be a string of white gas out of his mouth. When An An talked to him, he deliberately exerted force, and then looked at the white gas he exhaled, and hehe himself was very happy.

In middle school, there were boys who were bored, and liked to take a breath of white air on the glass window of the classroom, and then write the name of the person they liked with their fingers.

That name exists for a very short time, and it is often short-lived and then disappears, just like a child at that age, who is very fickle. If he likes someone now, he may not like it the next moment.

But this kind of bold move can always arouse the exclamation of girls and the admiration of boys.

Xia Jiusheng was on the way to send An An to school, looking at the white windows of the car windows on both sides, thinking wildly like this.

At that time, he only liked Du Gaotian, but he never dared to write down his name.

Just like now, he likes Zhao Zezhong, but he also dare not say it out.

After sending An'an to school, he went back from the small town and stopped by the farmer's market.

Today has entered the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. In rural areas, some people have started drying bacon and stuffing sausages. Shops selling New Year’s goods have also begun to put on bright red festive attire, preparing for the best time of the year for business.

Xia Jiusheng's car turned around inside and drove to the most remote place.

In today's cities, it is difficult to find a place that sells vats and jars. A remote town like Zhangtang retains this traditional old ceramic shop.

I picked out a few medium-sized sauerkraut jars, and bought a few smaller porcelain jars. With the help of the boss, I packed them into the trunk of the car.

Turning around, I found that the store next to me was also a container store, but it sold glass products.

Zhangtang is rich in bayberry and grapes locally, and the locals also have the habit of soaking bayberry wine and brewing their own wine, so the store not only sells this glass wine bottle, but also sells soaked bayberry shochu.Xia Jiusheng went in and picked out several wide-mouthed glass bottles of different sizes, the ones with corks.

Coming out of the farmer's market, Xia Jiusheng's car drove casually on the street.

Xia Jiusheng used to work alone in Yucheng, except for being tired, he was rarely lonely. Now, for some reason, he always feels lonely on the street alone.

The people coming and going around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, he was just a transparent person hidden in the crowd.

After driving in the traffic for a while, the car finally stopped at the door of his cousin's shop. Xia Jiusheng thought it over and went to chat with his cousin, but found that there were a lot of customers coming in and out of the shop. On the glass of the window, there was a big notice, which read: The store is undergoing transformation, and all products will be sold at a special price.

oh.Xia Jiusheng remembered that his cousin's family had already planned to open a furniture factory to make high-end log furniture for the new store of National University, so these stocks had to be disposed of.

I stayed in the car for a while, and suddenly thought that if I parked the car here, it would affect my cousin's business, so I started the car and prepared to leave.

"Yangyang, why are you here?" It turned out that the brother-in-law helped a customer carry out the table he bought and put it on the tricycle parked at the door. He turned around and saw Xia Jiusheng who was sitting in a daze on the car, and greeted enthusiastically.

"Brother-in-law." Xia Jiusheng rolled down the window and smiled: "I took An'an to school, and I wanted to stop by to see you, but I didn't get out of the car when I realized you were so busy."

"It's okay, get out of the car and come in." Fang Peigen yelled enthusiastically: "My parents are here to help today, so I can take care of it. Don't look at the crowds in the store, most of them are here to join in the fun, not as busy as you think .”

Seeing what his cousin-in-law said, Xia Jiusheng got out of the car. If his brother-in-law saw him and didn't go in, he would be rude.

"Xiao Zhao didn't come!" Fang Peigen asked casually seeing that only his cousin got out of the car.

"Well, he's back in the capital." Xia Jiusheng replied casually, for some reason, hearing someone mention that person, his emotions still fluctuated violently.

Mr. Zhao stayed in the courtyard for one night, and after breakfast the next day, he asked Zhao Zezhong to accompany him, carrying the bottle of wine, and went back to the rest place.

Mr. Li had breakfast and was taking care of the vegetables in the vegetable field in the yard.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and thick ice has accumulated everywhere in the open air. He built a simple shelf for the vegetable field and covered it with film, so the vegetables grew well and were not frozen to death by the frost.

As he grows older, he doesn't eat much. Growing vegetables is more of a pleasure, and of course, a form of exercise.

Seeing Mr. Zhao approaching, Mr. Li put down the hoe in his hand and went back to the house to wash his hands.

"Grandpa, who's here?" Li Qiaowei heard the movement upstairs and asked at the stairs.

"Your Grandpa Zhao and Xiao Si are here." Mr. Li's voice was still firm.

"Understood, I'll come down later." Li Qiaowei was in the video chat with her old classmate at this time, and replied.

"What is this? Wine?" Seeing the poorly packaged bottle in Mr. Zhao's hand, Mr. Li suddenly became interested. He walked over to pick it up, looked it over and over, and asked curiously.

For them, what beautifully packaged things have not been eaten or drunk?On the contrary, this kind of crude packaging can arouse their interest even more.Simple packaging?Explain that it cannot be produced in batches, and it is a scarce good, so it is more attractive.

I once drank a bottle of wine brought back by my son. It was packed in a rough clay pot. It was said to be from a winemaking family in Yibin, Sichuan. The wine had been stored for hundreds of years. The color of the wine was amber. Can pull out long silk, look and smell almost drunk.

It's a pity that there are not many opportunities like this. Although some younger generations have done some filial piety, the taste is much worse.

"This is the wine that Xiao Si got. It's for my birthday. I'll share half of it with you today." Mr. Zhao saw that he was still holding it in his hand, and reminded: "This is a treasure, you must hold it tight. , It will be a big loss if you fall to the ground."

"Is it so precious?" Mr. Li swallowed, what Mr. Zhao said made his heart itch.

He checked the wine bottle again for confirmation, put it on the table, waved his hand and shouted to Zhao Zezhong: "Xiao Si, go to the kitchen and get two red wine glasses—"

"Are you sure you want me to drink with you? I hid the wine, and I don't even allow them to touch it—" Mr. Zhao glanced at Mr. Li and asked jokingly.

"Then bring two small white wine glasses." Mr. Li lost his composure and hurriedly changed his words.

The white wine glass weighs less than one or two pounds, and it won't hurt if you drink it for this old thing.Mr. Li comforted himself like this.

Impatiently pulling out the cork, Mr. Li took the wine under his nose and smelled it. It didn't seem to be as mellow as imagined. Could it be new wine?

Taking the wine glass, he carefully poured two glasses, which looked like ordinary wine no matter what. Mr. Li picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips, and took a sip, feeling that the wine was very light.

"You're not kidding me, are you? Old man." Mr. Li asked in a bad tone.

"You don't like it? Then I'll take it back—" Mr. Zhao shouted angrily.

"Wait." Unwillingly, Mr. Li drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp. Suddenly, a warm current rose. The feeling was very strange, like the comfortable warmth of suddenly being under the sun.

"Huh?" The old man yelled in surprise, took the glass of wine next to him, and drank it with his head up. The next moment, a gust of air flowed all over his body, as if his body had taken a sauna bath, and it seemed like the meridians all over his body were in a rush. After getting through, there is no place where I feel uncomfortable.

"Good wine." Mr. Li yelled, stood up, looked at Mr. Zhao in shock, and asked, "Old man, where did you get this magical treasure?"

In this regard, Mr. Li, like Mr. Zhao, understands the preciousness of this wine, so he shouted at once.

"It was given by a friend of Xiao Si's, saying it was for me as a birthday gift." Mr. Zhao said with a smug smile, "Now that you've been given half, Xiao Si, the master, doesn't even get a little bit?"

Mr. Zhao didn't reveal the real origin of the wine, not because he didn't believe Mr. Li, but the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

"Thank you, old man." Hearing this, Mr. Li straightened his face and thanked him solemnly.

This is really a treasure, especially for people of their age, it may be a life-saving thing.

As long as he drinks this wine for a few days, this old bone can be at least ten years younger. If someone is sick, as long as it is not an acute illness, this thing can even save someone's life.

"Which one of us is with whom! Why are you being polite." Mr. Zhao said generously.

He fully understands the benefits of this wine, but luckily Xiao Si brought back a lot, so he was willing to take some out, otherwise he would definitely have to enjoy it all to himself.

After all, the Zhao family and the Li family are now one. Their goal next year is to promote the boss of the Zhao family to the Government Affairs Council, and push the boss of the Li family to the position of deputy to the Military Commission. If they fight independently, it will be difficult to achieve this goal. , but the two forces are working together, basically there is [-]% certainty.

It is now the end of January in the Gregorian calendar, and the two sessions will be held in March, so time is running out.

"Then I won't be polite." Mr. Li stuffed the cork into the mouth of the wine bottle, watched his granddaughter coming down the stairs, and shouted: "Vivi, help me hide this bottle of wine, don't let your The alcoholic brothers saw it."

"What kind of treasure is so rare." Li Qiaowei rolled her eyes at her grandfather, obediently picked up the glass bottle, and walked into her grandfather's study.

The people in the family are all alcoholics, and they will find them wherever they are placed.Only the study room is the safest place, no one dares to go in without grandpa's invitation, except her.

"You guys are here this time because of Xiao Si's business." Grandpa Li said straight to the point.

"Yes." Mr. Zhao sighed.

Although Mr. Li was there yesterday and knew what happened, he had to apologize in private because it would hurt the face of the Li family.

Mr. Li wanted to joke a few words at first, but thinking of this incident, he couldn’t blame the Zhao family. Besides, he just received such a precious bottle of wine from Mr. Zhao. Four, just pay attention."

After lunch, Xia Jiusheng's uncle Chen Shaofeng came out of the house, got into the car, and was about to drive back to work.

The winter vacation abroad was early, and his daughter came back yesterday, so he went home today and made lunch for her.

His daughter is studying in the UK, and he rarely comes back once a year. Now he cherishes the time with his daughter more and more.

How time flies!It's obviously a little baby who needs to be held in his hands, why did he graduate from high school and enter university in the blink of an eye?After graduating from university and finding a partner, the daughter will belong to the family, and she will become a guest when she returns home.Every time he thought of this, he felt sore and sad.

Chen Shaofeng's hometown is in the countryside of Yucheng. His father is a chef with good craftsmanship. Whenever there are weddings and funerals in the countryside, his father is their first choice of chef.And under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also learned a lot of cooking skills. In college, he used this to catch up with his wife.

You must know that everyone didn't like him at that time. The reason is very simple. He was born in a rural area, his family was poor, and he looked very ordinary. , There are many people who pursue it.

He used to work in a planning and design institute, and he had more free time. He often cooked food for his wife. Later, he joined the land management office and had a lot of entertainment. It was difficult to go home on time, so he had to let his wife cook.

Now that his daughter comes home, he always wants to make something delicious for her. Alas, he sighed, after she goes to work, even if the father wants to cook for her, she may not have time to eat.

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting his cranky thoughts.

"Mom." Seeing that it was the mother-in-law's call, he pressed the answer button and called.

"Shaofeng, have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Xia said politely over there.After a pause, she said again: "This time, the matter of the second child's family has caused you trouble."

"Mom, you're too polite." Chen Shaofeng was a little ashamed. He only called his friends in Yucheng for this matter, but he forgot to follow up because of some things. Fortunately, he heard that Yangyang was arrested Released, otherwise his wife's natal family would know, and he would have no face to meet them.

"How can you be polite?" The old lady's voice was very excited. "If it weren't for you, how could Yangyang be released after being locked up for only one day? How could the second child's house be kept? ——Also, if it weren't for you, how could the village party secretary step down? Yangyang's second uncle How can you sit in the position of deputy mayor?"

"Mom, what did you say? Why don't I understand?" Chen Shaofeng was taken aback.

Why did the meaning in what the mother-in-law said was completely different from what he knew? Could it be that there were many things happening at home that he didn't know about?

"You don't have to play dumb, mom knows it well, if you didn't take action this time, the second family might not be able to overcome this hurdle." The old lady said, her eyes became a little wet.

This time the second child's family was in trouble, and they caused such a big trouble. Fortunately, she also has a son-in-law who is an official, the old lady thought happily.

When Chen Shaofeng saw that his mother-in-law believed that he was helping, he could only smile wryly, and he complied, talking with her for a while until she hung up the phone.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, he loosened the scarf around his neck a little and stretched his neck.But it still felt stuffy, so he opened the car window again to let the cold wind blow in.

Because of the cold weather, the car windows were closed tightly, but what the old lady said on the phone just now made his heart grow more and more eager.

He has been in the position of the land management department for several years, and he is no longer a young man who just joined the government agency. It is definitely not something ordinary people can do in such a short period of time. At least he is a department-level cadre. There is no such ability.

Could it be that the second brother's family really met a nobleman?

In fact, he has had this question for a long time, but he has not been able to confirm it, but now, he is almost sure.

Sitting in the car, he forgot to go to work, took out his mobile phone, found Xia Jiuqiang's number, and dialed it.

"Uncle." Xia Jiuqiang answered the phone over there.

"Jiu Qiang! How is the business in the store recently?" Chen Shaofeng didn't immediately ask about Xia Jiusheng's family, but greeted her first.

"We don't plan to open a store anymore, we are clearing the stock now." Xia Jiuqiang's voice was a little excited.

"Why? What will you do if you don't open the shop?" Chen Shaofeng asked strangely.

That niece and son-in-law can be said to be from a family of carpenters. If he doesn't work in this line of work, what else can he do?

"We are going to open a furniture factory, and the preparations are almost done now. In the future, we will specialize in high-end pure wood furniture and supply it to international hotels." Xia Jiuqiang said proudly.

"Oh, you actually managed the International Hotel?" Chen Shaofeng was very surprised.

International Hotel, of course Chen Shaofeng knows that there is also a branch in Yongcheng.If there are important guests to be received in the agency room, they will also choose to go there, and the environment is top-notch.The boss's surname is Zhao, the richest man in China, Zhao Mingkang.

"We didn't get it done, Zhao Zezhong took the initiative to tell us—" At this point, Xia Jiuqiang suddenly realized that he had slipped up, and quickly stopped talking.

"Zhao Zezhong? The youngest son of Zhao Mingkang? The boy who is called the husband of the people?" Chen Shaofeng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Uncle, don't ask, since Yang Yang hasn't disclosed his identity, I can't talk nonsense." Xia Jiuqiang said hesitantly.

"Well, I won't ask any more." At this moment, Chen Shaofeng didn't understand anything. "I'm going to work too, bye."

Before Xia Jiuqiang could reply, Chen Shaofeng hung up the phone hastily.

Now that his niece had slipped her mouth, he didn't have to ask about Xia Jiusheng's family anymore.It would not be surprising if Zhao Zezhong made the move.

There is only one voice left in my mind, Zhao Zezhong, is it actually Zhao Zezhong?

A little more doubt in my heart, what is the relationship between Yang Yang and Zhao Zezhong, why is he willing to help even Jiuqiang, a cousin, to this step?

Knowing that two people's identities are so different, it's really strange to be good friends.

Ordinary people may only know that Zhao Zezhong is handsome, and they only care about his father, Zhao Mingkang's status as the richest man, but Chen Shaofeng knows that Zhao Mingkang's ability to become the richest man in the country is only one aspect, a very important point, because of his background.

He was born in the Zhao family, the well-known Zhao family in the capital.
