Counterattack in the chronology

When Gu Lichun returned home, everyone was waiting for him before dinner was served.

There are a lot of people today. There are three tables in total, two for adults and one for children. The living room is full of people and it is very lively.

Uncle Tian Hongjun asked with concern: "Lichun, how is your worship this year?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Fortunately, I chatted with Secretary Zhu for more than half an hour."

Zhao Zhijun asked with interest: "What about Lao Deng? He didn't say he would keep you for dinner?"

Gu Lichun said the truth: "Deng Zhang said he didn't have time, so I didn't go to his house."

Hearing what he said, Tian Hongjun on the side couldn't help becoming nervous: "Oh, isn't Director Deng angry because you went to Secretary Zhu's house first?"

Zhao Zhijun said indifferently: "Nothing, Old Deng is not the kind of narrow-minded person. In previous years, few people went to pay him New Year's greetings, and he was happy and quiet."

Tian Hongjun didn't think like Zhao Zhijun. He told him: "Lichun, don't go anywhere tomorrow, go to Director Deng after breakfast, and explain to him carefully. Don't make the leader feel uncomfortable. You are his one hand. Those who are promoted, according to relatives and distances, you should go to his house first."

Not only Tian Hongjun said so, Yang Aiguo also agreed.

Gu Lichun did not expect that a simple New Year's greeting event would attract so many people's attention.

He had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow. Come and eat."

There are three chefs sitting in charge today, and the food tastes better than the New Year's Eve dinner.

There are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, but Gu Lichun is tired of eating fish, so he has a soft spot for some cold dishes made by his grandma, especially pork skin jelly and cold preserved eggs. The color of pork skin jelly is crystal clear. , It tastes rich in taste, the more you eat, the more you like it.The same goes for the preserved eggs, which are cold and smooth, and taste very good.

Seeing that he likes to eat, Grandma Tian smiled and said: "I brought a lot here, you eat slowly. It's cold, don't eat cold food all the time, be careful to freeze your stomach, come, have some hot food."

Gu Lichun responded, picked up another chopsticks of meat jelly, and then started to deal with other dishes on the table.

He ate slowly, chatting with his uncle and uncle as he ate.

The others are not as refined as Gu Lichun, they are more fierce than the other.Needless to say the two bottomless pits of Lidong and Lixia, there are also brothers Yang Zhonghua and Tian Xiaogang and Tian Xiaohu.

Gu Hongyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and said in a slightly disgusted tone: "Zhonghua, eat slowly, the loss is at your aunt's house, if it's at someone else's house, people can't laugh at you for not seeing delicious food." of?"

Yang Zhonghua laughed and said, "Isn't it because the dishes at my aunt's house are so delicious?"

After finishing speaking, he whispered again: "Why didn't you learn more tricks from grandma and aunt?"

Gu Hongyu heard it, raised her chopsticks, and made a gesture to hit him, and everyone hurriedly smiled and persuaded him to make peace.

Gu Hongyu glared at Yang Zhonghua, and then said: "This kid Zhonghua is with their old Yang family. He is clumsy in speech and tongue, not smart enough. Look at our Lichun again, he can beat Zhonghua by more than ten miles."

Although Yang Aiguo was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything on his natal territory, so he could only laugh without saying a word.

Yang Zhonghua, however, looked hopeless: Here we go again, here we go again.

Gu Lichun quickly dissuaded Gu Hongyu: "Gu, if you say that again, the relationship between our brothers will be broken. He said it last time, because you kept comparing him to me, he was so angry that he wanted to hit me."

Yang Zhonghua quickly explained: "It was a joke, don't take it seriously."

Gu Hongyu smiled and said, "I gave him ten guts, but he didn't dare."

Everyone laughed, and the air was full of joy.

After eating, Tian Hongjun sat for a while and said he wanted to go back.

Tian Sanhong held Grandma Tian's hand, and said reluctantly, "Mother, you can stay for a few days, there is a place to live, and there are still vacancies in Zhijun's place."

Zhao Zhijun also enthusiastically persuaded him to stay: "That's right, there's not much to do during the Chinese New Year anyway, so I'll come back after a few days of fun."

Grandma Tian said: "There is no work, but there are no relatives. Others will come to our house to visit relatives. There is no one at home."

Tian Sanhong thought so too, her own relatives had finished coming, and she forgot that there were still a bunch of relatives leaving from her natal family.

Grandma Tian's family went back in a donkey cart. Before leaving, Tian Sanhong and Zhao Zhijun forced a bunch of things into the cart.

Grandma Tian held Gu Lichun's hand, exhorted her for a while, and then reluctantly let go.

Tian Hongjun still remembered what happened in Dengchang, and before getting into the donkey cart, he did not forget to remind Gu Lichun: "Lichun, remember to go to Deng's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."

Gu Lichun smiled helplessly: "Okay, uncle."

Sending off the Tian family, Tian Sanhong said: "I haven't responded yet, it tastes delicious, and it doesn't take much trouble to go back to my mother's house."

Zhao Zhijun said: "Mother has reasonable scruples. The road is far away, and there is a section of mountain road that is not easy to walk. When the weather is warmer, if you want to go, I will take you there."

Tian Sanhong could only think about it like this.

As soon as the guests leave, the adults and children in the family clean up the housework together, sweeping the floor, cleaning the table and washing dishes.Gu Lichun also went to help clean up the leftovers.

When grandma came this time, she brought a lot of food and drink, including three sacks of peanuts, melon seeds, snacks, vermicelli, and dried sweet potatoes.There is a big piece of pork skin jelly, and it can hold it in the cold weather.

Gu Lichun thought the meat jelly was too delicious, so he couldn't help sharing it with others. He cut a plate and took a few preserved eggs to send to Uncle Lu. These two things are very good for dinner, and Uncle Lu really likes it.

After breakfast the next day, he went to pay New Year's greetings to Deng Chang as promised. In addition to taking a New Year picture, he also brought a lunch box of pork skin jelly and a box of fried jelly. Considering that there was a big black dog in his family, Gu Lichun also brought Two big bones were broken.

Gu Lichun knocked lightly on the door with something in his hand, and the big black dog barked twice.

Deng Chang heard the sound and asked, "Who?"

"Deng Chang, it's me."

Deng Chang opened the courtyard door, and looked down at Gu Lichun condescendingly.

Gu Lichun smiled: "Deng Chang, I'm here to give you New Year greetings, is it convenient today?"

Deng Chang replied in a low voice, "It's not convenient."

Gu Lichun: "..."

Could it be that Lu Jinjin guessed it right and got angry because he didn't come to his house first?No, this doesn't match Deng Chang's personality.Regardless of whether he is a sign or not, he has to pay New Year's greetings today, even if he is not allowed to do so.

Gu Lichun forced his way in through the crack of the door, and threw down two bones to the big black dog. The big black dog was not polite, and gnawed away with the bones in his mouth.

While admiring the big black dog gnawing on the bone, Gu Lichun said, "Deng Chang, I actually advocated coming to your house first yesterday, but Xiao Fang met Secretary Zhu on the road and told him about the New Year's greetings in advance. We can only go first." Go to his house. I didn't explain it to you yesterday, because I thought that such a grand and well-mannered person like you would definitely not take such trivial matters to heart. If I explained it, it would seem that I thought you were stingy. "

Deng Chang hummed, not arguing about his happiness or anger.

He suddenly asked, "Did you ask Lu Jinjin to come with you?"

Gu Lichun smiled helplessly: "Why did I call him? He called me at my house. I originally planned to come today, but yesterday my grandmother's family came. I didn't want to talk to him, but I was afraid that he would talk nonsense in front of Secretary Zhu. , causing unnecessary trouble to our future work, so we had no choice but to go with him."

Deng Chang seemed a little satisfied with this statement, and said, "Come in."

Gu Lichun: "..." I've already entered, and those who co-authored and squeezed in don't count?

Gu Lichun entered the living room, and found that the living room was empty and empty, with only a square table, a coffee table, a few chairs, no stove or brazier, and it was cold, just like the outside.

Deng Chang looked at Gu Lichun: "Afraid of the cold? I'll go make a fire."

Gu Lichun asked strangely: "Deng Zhang, are you not cold?"

Deng Chang shook his head: "I'm not afraid of the cold, it's too troublesome to make a fire."

Gu Lichun didn't know what to say.

After all, Deng Chang still lit a brazier, and the room was slightly warmed up.

Gu Lichun remembered the New Year's gift he brought, and took out two lunch boxes from his schoolbag, "Deng Chang, these are pork skin jelly and fried jelly made by my grandmother. I really like them, so I bring a box to share with you. And This New Year picture."

Deng Chang unfolded the New Year picture and took a look, only to see a piece of red on it, the name is "Wanli Jiangshan Wanli Hong".

He said, "The one yesterday was better."

Gu Lichun: "I think this one is more festive and has a better meaning."

Deng Chang put away the painting, "That's fine if you agree."

After collecting the paintings, Deng Chang casually poured Gu Lichun a large teapot of boiling water. Gu Lichun used the time to drink the water to think about what to say in New Year's greetings.

In fact, it is easier to chat with Secretary Zhu. As long as you grasp the ideological and political center and praise him implicitly as the basic point, you can talk nonsense, which is not the case with Deng Chang.

Gu Lichun didn't open his mouth, but Deng Zhang spoke first, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "What happened today? Wasn't it easy to talk yesterday?"

Gu Lichun said solemnly: "Deng Chang, you are standing on a wall, you can be strong without desire, and people have no way to attack."

"You are also wearing a high hat when you say that."

Gu Lichun pretended to be helpless and said: "For people who are not afraid of the cold, wearing a tall hat is useless. Then let me talk about the work after the year?"

Deng Chang doesn't even want to talk about work: "Don't worry about work beforehand, let's talk about it after the year. After the new year, you can't always be tense, and relax when it's time to relax."

Gu Lichun said: "It's rare to see a leader who is so sympathetic to his subordinates."

Deng Chang smiled slightly: "Letting you relax now is to make you busier in the future."

Gu Lichun stopped talking.

Not allowed to report to work, but also not allowed to talk nonsense as one likes, this day is really difficult to talk about.

After chatting a few words, Gu Lichun offered to leave.

Deng Chang glanced at Gu Lichun unexpectedly: "It's only been 15 minutes, and you're in a hurry to leave? Have an appointment?"

Gu Lichun hurriedly said, "No appointment."

Deng Chang nodded, and then made arrangements: "I sorted out the materials I went out to study years ago, you go and have a look. Stay for lunch at noon."

Gu Lichun didn't expect that Deng Zhang would keep a meal, so after thinking for a moment, he politely refused, thinking that the other party would just stop there after being polite.

Unexpectedly, Deng Chang said: "During the meal, I will tell you about two relatively big things in the field. Let me talk about one first: we will have a personnel change in five games in the next year."

Gu Lichun froze for a moment, then sharply asked: "Deng Chang, you are not going to transfer, are you?" It has been at least three years since Deng Chang has been transferred for five games, and it is not impossible to transfer.

Gu Lichun's dignified expression pleased Deng Zhang, and he became even more amiable: "It's not me, it's someone else."

Gu Lichun breathed a sigh of relief.

Deng Chang returned to the topic just now: "That's the deal, stay for lunch at noon, my cooking skills are not as good as your mother's, but much better than Old Zhao's."

Gu Lichun: "..."

He couldn't think of a suitable word, so he could only laugh without saying a word, what do you mean you taste it yourself.

In the end, Gu Lichun agreed to stay for dinner, his appetite was whetted, and he wanted to know what was going on with this personnel change?Did someone transfer it or did someone fall from it?He also wanted to know what the next thing was.Sure enough, curiosity is human nature.

But Deng Chang stopped talking at the crucial point.He started to prepare lunch.

Gu Lichun watched as he cut the radish into large irregular pieces, then threw the radish and crispy meat into the water to cook together.

After Huo Huo finished the carrots, Deng Zhang once again extended his palms to the potatoes.

Gu Lichun stopped him: "Deng Chang, I'll cut it. Let's make hot and sour potato shreds."

Deng Chang hesitated for a moment, and gave the chopping board to Gu Lichun. Gu Lichun washed his hands, first peeled the potatoes quickly, and then cut them into even filaments.

Deng Zhang looked surprised: "As expected of Gu Xiaodao, even the knife is so good."

Gu Lichun: "..." He wanted to kill someone.

Gu Lichun fried potato shreds and vinegared cabbage, and Deng Chang made fish. This fish was fried into fish pieces by the second grandmother years ago, just throw it in the pot and stew it.

Six dishes for two people, including fish and meat, hot and cold.

Deng Chang opened a bottle of wine, but Gu Lichun didn't dare to compete with him, he restrained himself and only drank a glass.

During the meal, Deng Chang finally said those two things.

One is Secretary Xie, who is next to Secretary Shi, the party secretary of the head office. He will be transferred to five games after the next year. The position has not yet been determined, but it is definitely not low.

Another thing is that Dongfeng Dairy Farm in the provincial capital wants to buy a large amount of alfalfa from the main farm. They called and communicated, suggesting that Wuchang expand the planting area next year, and promised that as long as the quality is the same as before, they can submit a contract and pay in advance. gold.This matter requires five cadres above the department level to discuss in the past.

Deng Chang said: "I plan to entrust this matter to you, and you may have to go on a business trip in the next year."

Gu Lichun pondered for a while, the provincial capital, he still has a lot of things to do, so it's good to go there.He had to ask for leave and asked the venue to issue a letter of introduction, so he had to have a legitimate reason. He really didn't have one for a while, so he couldn't say he was going to visit Zhao's relatives, could he?

Gu Lichun said sincerely: "Thank you Deng Chang for giving me this opportunity to learn."

Deng Zhang raised his glass and said, "Come on, have another drink, drinking doesn't actually affect your growth."

Gu Lichun said, "I'm almost drunk."

As a master of experience, Deng Chang ruthlessly exposed his lies: "Only people who are not drunk say they are drunk, and those who are really drunk say they are not drunk."

Gu Lichun immediately changed his words: "Then I'm not drunk yet."

Deng Chang said slyly: "I knew you were not drunk, so have another drink."

Gu Lichun cursed in his heart: Are you playing tricks on me?

He drank another half a glass, and firmly stated that he could not drink any more, and Deng Zhang did not persuade him any more.

Gu Lichun took the opportunity to say goodbye, Deng Chang stood up and said, "Okay, I'll see you off."

Gu Lichun pointed to the sun outside: "It's noon now, so there's no need to send it off."

"Oh, forgot."

Gu Lichun stood up resolutely and said, "Goodbye."

He walked briskly, and he left the yard in a blink of an eye. When Deng Chang followed him out, there was no one there.

Gu Lichun didn't take the main road, but took a shortcut and took a small road.

Unexpectedly, he didn't go far when he saw Lu Jinjin with a gloomy face.

Gu Lichun pretended not to see him, treating him like air.

Lu Jinjin suppressed his anger and said, "Your surname is Gu, your methods are really clever. You actually got Deng Chang to keep you for dinner." But he and Xiao Fang didn't even enter the door.

Gu Lichun looked at Lu Jinjin in surprise: "Comrade Lu, why do I feel that something is wrong with you recently? If you were a lesbian, I would reasonably suspect that you have a crush on Deng Chang. Could it be that you..." Thinking of the current social situation, Gu Lichun It stopped abruptly, without saying the second half.

Lu Jinjin was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the unfinished meaning of Gu Lichun's words, his face flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Gu Lichun, you are slandering the revolutionary cadres, I warn you, if you say that again , I will report you, real name report!"

Gu Lichun looked at Lu Jinjin calmly, and suddenly said, "Did you hear Deng Zhang?" Lu Jinjin was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look.

Gu Lichun took the opportunity to sneak away.

In order to prevent Lu Jinjin from following, Gu Lichun changed another route.Fortunately, Lu Jinjin didn't keep up, but he met Chen Yu again.

Gu Lichun wondered: "Why do you two form a group every time?"
