1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Xiao Liu, do you know what it is? It can't be the Hongmen Feast, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

"Manager Chen, how can I know what it is? Anyway, I've been looking for you for a long time, and finally found you." Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Uncle, is there meat to eat?" Doudou asked curiously.

"There must be meat, I know there is pork elbow." Xiao Liu said.

"Dad, eat meat." Doudou said with determination.

He had been thinking about it for a long time, and after saying that, he stuffed the half-eaten roasted sweet potato into Chen Tiezhu's hand.

"Hehe, no matter what it is, let us eat it. Comrade Lao Li, do you want to eat meat with us?" Chen Tiezhu asked cheerfully.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the county bureau to eat stewed cabbage." Li Yinglin said hurriedly.

In this occasion, how could he dare to get involved.

"Okay, Yingzi, let's go eat meat and let him eat cabbage." Chen Tiezhu joked.

"What did the leader ask you to do?" Han Xiuying asked curiously.

"If it was another leader, I could still guess, but I really can't figure out our leader. He is always startled, but he is also very motivated." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes. This guy is always talking nonsense. Although she is so familiar with him, she has not fully adapted to it yet.

The area of ​​the county town is not large now, and it is not far from the county government. Chen Tiezhu and his family of three followed Xiao Liu directly to the cafeteria.

Looking at their group, the comrades who were eating in the cafeteria were very surprised.

Although this is a place for eating, basically no outsiders will come here. And today? Secretary Liu led the way personally.

Thinking of some things that happened some time ago, it is unexpected that the one holding the child is Chen Tiezhu.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

"You have been hiding in the village for so many days in a row. I guess you can come here today." Gao Xiaoguang, who was waiting in the private room, said with a smile.

"Leader, if you miss me, why don't you just call our village directly?" Chen Tiezhu said carelessly.

"Nonsense, if you don't want to come, you have to find a thousand reasons?" Gao Xiaoguang rolled his eyes at him and opened the Wuliangye on the table himself.

Chen Tiezhu didn't dare to let him pour the wine, so he quickly grabbed it and filled the glasses of the three people.

At this time, the waiter also started to serve the dishes.

Seeing a plate full of steaming braised pork elbows, Doudou was so happy that his eyes were full of smiles.

"This little guy is still so obsessed with meat?" Gao Xiaoguang asked with a smile.

"That's right. I don't understand. Even if she craves meat, she should eat enough every day, right? But she won't. She has to eat some every day, and the more she eats, the more picky she becomes." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Children are growing up." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Dad, the meat is so delicious. Uncle Gao, is the meat delicious?" Little Doudou looked at Gao Xiaoguang.

"It must be delicious. I know you like meat. There is also a chicken stewed with mushrooms." Gao Xiaoguang said with a smile.

"Leader, you prepared two such hard dishes at once, and this bottle of Wuliangye. It can't be a Hongmen Banquet, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a wry smile.

"Oh? Weren't you quite calm just now?" Gao Xiaoguang joked.

"Leader, I was just holding on." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Let's drink this glass of wine first. I wish your company a good start and can also drive the development of our agricultural production." Gao Xiaoguang raised his glass.

Chen Tiezhu looked at him helplessly. What can he say? Just raise your glass and drink.

After drinking this glass of wine, Han Xiuying picked up the bottle and filled it for the two of them. In her glass, she poured the same orange soda as Doudou.

"This glass of wine, I wish your company can sell agricultural products abroad in the future." Gao Xiaoguang raised his glass again.

"Leader, what are you going to do? It's scary. Why don't we eat some food first?" Chen Tiezhu was a little confused.

Based on Gao Xiaoguang's work style, he toasted two glasses of "pre-congratulations" today. What he wants to say must be very important.

But Gao Xiaoguang was unmoved and still raised his glass.

What else can Chen Tiezhu do? I could only raise my glass and gently clink it against Gao Xiaoguang's glass, then drink it all in one gulp.

Han Xiuying refilled the glass at the right time.

"Yingzi, we are a family." Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

"That was at home, but now I'm at work." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"Hahahaha..., that's right. The third glass, I wish you a happy next time.A success. How is it? "Gao Xiaoguang laughed and raised his glass.

Just this hearty laughter startled the comrades who were eating outside.

It was really because Gao Xiaoguang's work style was vigorous and resolute. When he first came to the county, he was just trying to understand the situation. Recently, he really showed his knife.

Usually, he has a cold face, and the cadres of various units in the county have been adjusted.

Today, he can laugh so happily. Maybe something big will happen again.

"Hey..., no words, I'm willing to sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman. I also get along well with you, so can't I drink with you? "Chen Tiezhu sighed and drank the third glass of wine.

Gao Xiaoguang, who also finished his drink, smiled and nodded, and picked up a chicken thigh for Doudou who was watching eagerly.

He was very fond of Doudou's obedience.

He was obviously drooling with greed, but he could not move his chopsticks. If it were an ordinary child, he would not be able to do this.

"Leader, it's time to talk about serious things, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"I wanted to discuss the paper mill with you earlier, but you slipped away with a bunch of difficulties." Gao Xiaoguang said.

"Now I treat you to wine and meat, and you have also cooperated with the machinery factory. Do you have to throw some dry goods to me? Can you just watch Director Cui get embarrassed?"

"I guess it's also about the machinery factory." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"The main thing is that I really don't know much about the work at the machinery factory? If you say I grow crops..., leader, what are you going to do? "

He hadn't finished speaking when he saw Gao Xiaoguang holding up his glass again.

"If you don't say anything, let's drink. I'll also risk my life to accompany you." Gao Xiaoguang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I said it's not okay. We are all leaders, how can we act rogue?" Chen Tiezhu was really worried and helpless.

"We have to act when we have to. I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't find a clear way for the machinery factory, so I have to ask you for advice." Gao Xiaoguang said seriously.

"It's sad at the end of the year. When Director Cui reported to me yesterday, people of such age cried like children. I couldn't stand it."

"Yes, and then you came to torture me." Chen Tiezhu complained, and picked up a piece of elbow meat for Doudou.

"Oh, hurry up and tell me, I'll take care of Doudou's meals." Han Xiuying urged.

"What's the plan?" Gao Xiaoguang added hurriedly.
