Chapter 1286: What are you doing? Call me sister-in-law!
Lijia Village, Li Dewen’s old house on the rice field.
An octagonal table had been set up outside, with melon seeds, peanuts, candies and dried sweet potatoes on the table, and a huge brazier was burning brightly under the table.
There were already four people sitting around the table.
Li Dewen, County Party Secretary Jiang Weifeng, and County Public Security Bureau Director Wu Peng.
There is also Li Fuqiang, the eldest son of the Li family.
County magistrate Qu Jie was in the neighboring county studying the speech on learning agriculture from Dazhai and could not make it here today, so he had to ask Deputy County Magistrate Wu Peng, who is also the Public Security Bureau Chief, to come over on his behalf.
The four people were chatting here, while the main room and the kitchen were already busy, making final preparations for Li Xiangnan's family to return.
"Fuqiang is now in the district discipline inspection commission. Is the work intensity high?" Jiang Weifeng took out a Zhonghua cigarette and handed it to three people including Li Fuqiang.
"After the congress the year before last, the Commission for Discipline Inspection resumed its work functions, and I was transferred there by chance. The organization cultivated me and trusted me, and I will overcome any difficulty! The main reason is that the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection was neglected for a few years, and I was suddenly caught up and temporarily resumed it. I am still a little unfamiliar with it, and I am also actively learning from the organization!"
Li Fuqiang's words not only showed his attitude of not being afraid of difficulties, but also directly stated the current status of the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It is a standard answer.
Wu Peng lit cigarettes for the two of them and smiled slightly.
Seeing him happy, Jiang Weifeng started laughing too. He patted Li Fuqiang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Fuqiang, you, you, we are old partners. I am not asking you to do the test now! It's as if I am testing you! From now on, I will be supervised by you when I work in the county. It's you who is testing me! Why are you so nervous!"
"I think Old Li is used to it!" Wu Peng grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them down in front of him, saying carelessly, "In Hongshan County, or in your Lijia Village, we are nothing today, we are just your friends, eating a hot meal here, joining in the fun, and chatting. You take it so seriously, I admire you!"
Li Fuqiang laughed, scratched his head, and his face showed a slight bitterness.
"I spent half of the four quarters of this year studying outside! It really has become a professional habit!"
He turned his head and laughed, "Old Jiang, especially you, when you ask me questions, I still unconsciously go back to the time when I was listening to your orders outside your office!"
"You!" Jiang Weifeng laughed again, "Don't be nervous! Work hard in the future, follow Secretary Liu, and your road to success will be smooth!"
"Ok!"
Li Fuqiang agreed and felt much more relaxed during the conversation with the two of them.
It's not mainly his fault. During the change of leadership last year, he went directly from a secretary position to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The content of his work changed dramatically, and he moved from an auxiliary position to a formal supervisory position, forcing him to be cautious at all times.
For Li Fuqiang, this opportunity also helped him realize his great ambition at this stage of his life.
Li Dewen, who was standing aside, looked at his nose and thought about his heart, not daring to say a word.
He knew that the reason why Li Fuqiang was able to get a job at the Wanling District Discipline Inspection Committee so quickly was, on the one hand, due to his outstanding abilities, and on the other hand, it was also related to the current prosperity of the Li family in Yanjing.
Everything is coherent and connected!
There are only four of us here. If even a little bit of the content of this afternoon's conversation gets out, everyone will know that it was Li Dewen who spread it!
So he acted like he didn't hear it.
"Grandpa, it's coming, it's coming! The car is coming!"
At this time, Li Tuanjie ran in from outside in a hurry and anger.
Hearing this, all four of them stood up and looked at each other.
Li Dewen asked: "Has the car entered the village?"
"Not yet. We're climbing the Slope of Hope. We agreed that as soon as the car arrives, Jianshe will wave the flag on the ridge! Huh, huh!" Li Tuanjie said breathlessly.
"I understand. Go ahead! Tell Nan Nan's uncle to drive his tractor to help. In case the vehicle can't get up..." Li Dewen quickly reminded him.
"Hey!"
Li Tuanjie agreed and ran away.
"Then let's go and welcome them?" Li Dewen looked around with a smile.
"It's my duty!" Jiang Weifeng nodded and called Li Fuqiang and the other two to follow him.
……
at this time.
Li Xiangnan drove a Shanghai brand car slowly on the mountain road leading into the village.
In the past, it was a blessing to have bicycles coming and going in the village. Now, occasionally people who work outside are brought back by tractors. Later, the mountain road was widened by the villagers together.
There was thick snow on both sides of the forest. Li Fugui in the car kept saying that the snow this year was heavier than in previous years.
But the road is easier to travel than many dirt roads from north to south.
Zhu Qiuju looked at the fresh yellow mud and snow piles on both sides of the road and said with emotion: "Knowing that we were going back to the village, they dug out a road for us!"
Everyone in the car was deeply moved by these words.
Chi Chi Chi.
We were happily chatting when the car wheels started spinning, making a strange squeaking noise, and the whole car began to shake.
Li Xiangnan gently stepped on the brakes, slowed down, and apologized: "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, the car skidded. I'm afraid we have to rest for a while before we can go!"
He opened the car door and got out. He took out the shovel he had prepared in advance from the trunk, and squatted in front of the car with his father to look at the wheels.
At this moment, the fenders were already filled with black mud, and the tires had already sunk into the ground, and it looked like the car could no longer move forward.
I looked around and realized that I still had to walk a mile or two along the mountain road to get home, so it wouldn't be a big deal to leave the car here.
"What happened? Did you slip?"
The jeep driven by Hu Yubin and others just caught up at this time. After getting out of the car and seeing this situation, they wanted to come over and push the car out.
Li Xiangnan used a shovel to dig up the mud and decisively said to the people who were looking for big stones to fill the road: "This road is too bad. We don't have enough tools and can't fix it... Dad, I'll go to the village to find someone to help..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard his grandfather Li Dequan laugh and say, "I don't think we need to go back!"
Li Xiangnan looked in the direction of his finger and was suddenly shocked.
Then, on the high mountain ridge, a tractor came rumbling down, filled with villagers from Lijia Village. They were all familiar faces, and each of them was holding a shovel and hoe in his hand.
Li Xiangnan was delighted and ran to the front and waved at the tractor.
"Third Uncle, Chaodong, Jianshe, Tuanjie, Ergou... I'm back!"
"Hahaha!"
Hu Yubin and others were also happy. So many people came to help. It seemed that the people in Lijia Village attached great importance to Li Xiangnan's family, and they were also quite united!
The tractor came closer in a flash with joyful laughter, and then familiar figures jumped down from it one by one.
"Big nephew!"
Third uncle Li Fuqin rushed over first, hugged Li Xiangnan around the waist, and lifted him up to the sky with a laugh.
"You miss me so much!"
"Hahaha!" All the villagers and young men around laughed.
“Uncle San, put me down quickly. I’m already a grown man, but you’re still holding me!” Li Xiangnan felt warm in his heart. He struggled to land on the ground amid people’s laughter. He reached out and rubbed his brother’s head who was squeezed in nearby. He smiled and said, “Chaodong, you’ve grown taller again!”
Li Chaodong wiped away his tears of excitement and shouted, "Brother, I told my dad that I want to be admitted to Yanjing in the college entrance examination this year!"
"Oh! You've made progress!" Li Xiangnan grinned and patted Li Jianshe, Li Tuanjie, Wang Ergou and others on the shoulders, "Long time no see, brothers!"
Li Tuanjie stepped forward and hugged him, and said with red eyes: "Brother Nan, let us help you get the car out first!"
Everyone called for help, but when they saw the unfamiliar face Qin Ruobai standing next to the car, they were all stunned.
When I saw her today, I found that she was even more beautiful than she was during last Chinese New Year. I was so envious!
"What are you doing? Call me sister-in-law!" Li Xiangnan laughed and pinched Li Jianshe's shoulder.
"Oh oh oh, hello, sister-in-law!" Li Jianshe shouted quickly.
"Hello!" Qin Ruobai giggled, and when she laughed, the young men of the same age around her laughed embarrassedly.
"Xiangnan, let them work on the road first, and you should take a rest! You must be exhausted after driving for two days." Li Fuqin pulled him aside and handed him a cigarette.
"It's not bad, Third Uncle," Li Xiangnan smiled and handed Ruobai a pack of cigarettes, asking her to pass them out to the villagers as a favor. When he noticed that Third Uncle was winking at him, he followed him to the side of the road and asked, "Third Uncle, do you have something to say?"
While lighting his cigarette, Li Fuqin whispered, "Secretary Jiang from the county is here. He's at your great-grandfather Dewen's house. I think he wants to ask you something!"
"Oh? Secretary Jiang from the county is here?" Li Xiangnan exclaimed in surprise.
