"Are you serious?" Zhao Kuifa's tone was filled with excitement and a hint of surprise.

Zhou Xiangdong nodded and said excitedly: "I was shocked when I received the call in the duty room just now."

"Then I'll go get ready. I," Zhao Kuifa adjusted his clothes subconsciously. He was worried and asked Bai Liu beside him, "Liu'er, show me quickly. Are your clothes clean? Are there any wrinkles..."

Bai Liu looked at it and smoothed Zhao Kuifa's collar: "No problem, uncle, you can just go to the National People's Congress now."

She was close and could hear clearly, so she naturally heard the news that the county magistrate was coming down for inspection.

This is a big deal, no less than allowing Zhao Kuifa to attend the National People's Congress.

"This kid," Zhao Kuifa nagged subconsciously, but when he thought about it, it made sense.

Except for Song Jiaying and Bai Liu, everyone at the table is one of the most prominent people in the village. Everyone knows some tricks. What does it mean to attend the National People’s Congress?

Is there someone important coming down?
Zhao Kuifa thought that his clothes were okay and left out. Zhou Xiucai certainly couldn't let him leave like this.

Zhou Xiucai didn't hear it clearly just now. After all, he was old and hard of hearing, but he was curious.

"Brother, you are... eating first," Zhou Xiucai held Zhao Kuifa's hand and turned to his eldest son Zhou Xiangdong and said, "You are ignorant, what are you doing here now?"

Zhou Xiangdong was a little embarrassed, and he was also a little cautious, but he didn't know what to say or not.

When I received a call from Zhou Xiangdong just now, he told the county magistrate not to make any noise or neglect when he came.

"It's not Xiangdong's fault," Zhao Kuifa thought and explained, "If the leader comes down, I will prepare food for them at noon."

He didn't explain that it was inappropriate. He was invited here, and he seemed to have a problem with leaving suddenly. Rural people are more particular about this kind of thing.

Zhou Xiangdong took the opportunity to interject: "Otherwise, let's eat here. We bought a lot of ingredients today and I don't have time to cook them. Why don't we ask the leader to come over and have a simple meal."

This was his plan from the beginning. The county magistrate would have a meal at their Zhou family, saying that going out would give him face, and that by showing his face in front of the county magistrate, he would remember them for good things in the future.

Zhao Kuifa glanced at him.

Zhou Xiangdong added: "I called just now and said that the car has come down and may be here soon. We can't keep the leader waiting."

He deliberately didn't say what he told him not to say on the phone. It was useless.

Since I have informed you that the boss is coming, I am telling you to be careful and not let the boss see bad things. Some of their words should not be taken seriously.

Zhao Kuifa really didn't move. He felt that there was really no other way today.

The old woman and daughters-in-law were all eating at the Zhou family's table, and now it was too late to cook.

Zhao Kuifa did not hesitate anymore and immediately sat down and told Zhou Xiucai the seriousness of the problem.

Bai Liu looked at Zhou Xiucai with brighter and brighter eyes. He thought to himself that Zhou Xiucai would fight for any opportunity that came under his leadership, not to mention that it was a good time to hold a banquet, even if there was no banquet.

But whatever, it has nothing to do with her.

The two old foxes Zhao Kuifa and Zhou Xiucai immediately decided to let the leader come over for dinner.

In addition to convenience, Zhao Kuifa also wanted to give Zhou Xiangnan a moderate opportunity. He hoped that Zhou Xiangnan would get up and help the villagers in the future.

But I have to make everyone wait a little longer. Fortunately, the banquet has not started yet.

"Xiang Dong, hurry up and call Xiang Nan over. You tell the chef not to serve the food yet." Zhou Xiucai couldn't directly say that the county magistrate was here, so he could only tell everyone not to worry.

Zhao Kuifa thought that this was the right thing to do. He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. The leader saw everyone eating happily, which showed the spirit of their Xiangyang Village.

This is better than greeting and preparing in advance.

Zhou Xiangnan had a smile on his face when he was called over. This was really unintentional. He was just setting up the banquet to show off the Zhou family's face, and he actually met the county magistrate coming down.

It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current administration. The county magistrate has absolute say in Yongning County.Bai Liu and Song Jiaying seemed to be outsiders. They could understand everyone's joy and excitement, but they were not touched.

There are too many leaders in the capital. They have left Yongning County to develop, and they do not have much emotional fluctuations in the arrival of the county magistrate.

Song Jiaying touched the corner of his mouth and muttered: "I'm affecting the appearance of the village, otherwise I'll leave first."

Zhou Xiangnan turned around immediately when he heard the voice: "I can't do it without you." His voice became lower, "The old man is afraid of being an official. I will count on you to talk to the leader later."

Bai Liu: ...

She didn't think it was a good job. When talking to the leader, she not only had to answer questions, but also showed high emotional intelligence and good temper. She didn't think she was good at it.

"I had a serious knock yesterday and couldn't sit still at all." Song Jiaying did not forget his wife and added, "Bai Liu will go back and apply medicine on me."

They don't want to stay here for a minute.

But Zhou Xiangnan really didn't let them leave. As a few people were pulling at each other, there was a sudden noise outside.

"A car is coming!"

"It must be the leader who is here. There are several cars!"

Zhao Kuifa immediately walked out, almost holding hands and feet, and muttered: "There is only one car in our county, and it is a broken car. How come there are several cars coming? It can't be that there are several leaders."

Zhou Xiangnan thought about it and looked at Zhou Xiangdong with a frown: "Brother, did you hear that right?"

Is it the county magistrate?Isn't it the mayor?

Zhou Xiangdong said anxiously: "That can't be wrong, I am listening to the county magistrate."

Zhou Xiangnan felt a little strange, but he should be polite and even more solemn, so he walked out immediately.

Bai Liu and Song Jiaying saw the opportunity and left from the side door. They didn't want to climb high, they just wanted to be clean.

The place where the banquet was set was at Lao Zhou's house and Zhou Xiangnan's house. If there wasn't enough yard, it was placed directly in the alley. Rural people are not so particular.

Everyone was busy going to the alley to look at the cars and greet the leader. The two of them escaped home smoothly through the gap.

"Mom saw me when I left just now, but she didn't say anything." Bai Liu's first thought when she returned home was to laugh. If she had been a few steps late, she would have been caught by the old lady.

Who knows, she is over 30 years old.

There are not many people who are as "indifferent to fame and fortune" as she is.

Song Jiaying breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's strange to have a bruised face."

He doesn't care about face, he mainly wants to save face.

They said they were going to have a meal, but they didn't get the meal after walking all the way, so they looked at each other in confusion.

"You go cook." The two said in unison.

Bai Liu/Song Jiaying: ...shut up, thank you

Bai Liu thought about it for a while and felt a little hungry. He got up and went to the kitchen to look: "How about making clay pot rice with the wax goods sent by Zhou Xiangnan? We don't seem to have a casserole here - why did I hear someone calling me?"

"Bai Liu, Song Jiaying!"

Hearing this sound clearly, Bai Liu and Song Jiaying turned around at the same time.

"Someone called us? Do you want to sit with us?" Bai Liu listened to the calls getting louder and louder, becoming more and more confused, "Are we that important?"
