┏ _┓ These guys in front are tall and big, squeezed in front of Li Yi, blocking the petite body behind

Li Yi didn't see her until now

She was a little timid, standing quietly behind the crowd, with a pair of big round eyes, staring at Li Yi greedily, her expression seemed to want to deeply engrave this long-lost face in her mind

She has never forgotten the appearance of this man, but she is afraid that she does not remember it deeply enough, so she wants to use this fiery gaze to engrave his image in her heart again.

She couldn't bear to blink, she was afraid, she was afraid that in the blink of an eye, he would disappear from her eyes, and she would never see him again

The cigarette in Li Yi's hand had burned to the end, and he still didn't feel it. The last remaining fire burned his fingers, so he shrank his hands in shock and threw away the cigarette butt

"Comrade Hua Xiaorui, don't hide behind! You came all the way here just to meet Secretary Li? Come here quickly." Xue Xue waved with a smile and said, "Li Yi, you have to praise Hua Xiaorui." Comrade Rui, in Liulin Town, she is the only one who still misses you and remembers your kindness. She just gave birth this time and is still breastfeeding. She heard that you are getting married, so she must come, and she is hugging you. children come"

When Li Yi heard the word child, he shifted his gaze from Hua Xiaorui's face to her chest. There was indeed a baby in her arms.

Li Yi closed his eyes, calmed down, then took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand, and said calmly: "Comrade Hua Xiaorui, thank you for coming to see me. Congratulations on becoming a mother. This is a very glorious and great lifelong career." "

Hua Xiaorui's nose was sore and the corners of her eyes hurt, as if something was tearing the muscles at the corners of her eyes, and there was something in her eyes that couldn't be restrained, and she was about to ooze out, but she still forced the unsatisfactory things out. forced back

She told herself that she must not cry when she saw him. She came to congratulate him. How could she cry on such a happy day?

"Secretary Li, hello," Hua Xiaorui called softly

"Hello, hehe, you should rest at home soon after giving birth. How could you travel so far to the capital? What if you get hurt?" Li Yi said gently

Hua Xiaorui said: "It's okay, I've been in confinement for a long time, my body is not so delicate"

Li Yi asked: "Where is Tang Jian? Didn't he come?"

Hua Xiaorui asked suspiciously: "Tang Jian? Oh, he didn't come, he may not know that you are getting married tomorrow"

Li Yi looked at the child and said, "This child has such a beautiful round face, yo, he is smiling at me, hehe, it seems that he likes me very much, is it a boy or a girl?"

Seeing Li Yi's teasing smile on the child's face, Hua Xiaorui's sadness passed immediately, and she said softly, "He's a boy"

Li Yi touched the child's face with his fingers, squeezed it lightly and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

Hua Xiaorui said: "I haven't chosen a name yet, Secretary Li, you are very knowledgeable, so why don't you choose a name for the child?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "That's not okay. The child's name is important. It's impossible for his own father to pick me up."

Hua Xiaorui said: "I specially brought him to the capital just to ask you for a name. Secretary Li, I know that you have a lot of knowledge, so you can choose a name for the child."

Hu Jichang said: "Secretary Li, Comrade Hua Xiaorui has brought children from such a long distance, so you can reward one of them."

Li Yi pondered: "This is not appropriate."

Hua Xiaorui said: "Sure, sure, as long as it's taken by you, it's fine."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Then I will give one?" After pondering for a while, he said: "How about taking the word Haoran? It is said in "Huainanzi? Yaolue": "If you are honest and understand your ambition, Haoran can be grand. In Yuan Dynasty Zhang Kejiu's "Jin Zi Jing? Kai Wang Gong Shi Xunmei" song: "The awe-inspiring heroism is filled between heaven and earth." Mencius also said, "I am good at raising my awe-inspiring spirit." I understand it as Haoran righteousness, which is conducive to boosting morale, stimulating vitality, strengthening unity, and condensing a reasonable and progressive spirit. To succeed"

A smile that Li Yi hadn't seen for a long time suddenly appeared on Hua Xiaorui's face. This kind of smile was often seen by Li Yi when he was in Liulin Town. Now he saw it again, as if he had returned to the days when he was in Liulin Can't help but stare dumbfounded

"Thank you, Secretary Li." Hua Xiaorui smiled sweetly, lowered her head and kissed the child's face, and said, "Haoran, Haoran, child, you will have a name in the future, and you will be called Haoran."

Hu Jichang smiled and said: "Secretary Li, you like this child so much, you named him again, why don't you recognize him as your godson?"

Li Yi said: "I don't have a problem with this, I just wonder how Comrade Hua Xiaorui agrees?"

Hua Xiaorui said: "No."

Hu Jichang said: "Hey, Hua Xiaorui, what's wrong with Secretary Li being your child's godfather? This is the child's blessing. Why don't you agree?"

Hua Xiaorui hugged the child tightly and said, "If you can't do it, you can't do it, there's no reason."

Li Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Forget it, forget it"

Sun Wei said with a smile: "Li Yi, we have agreed, you have given birth to your first child, and if you want to ask us to be your godfather and mother, you can't be foolish."

Li Yi smiled and said, "I'll talk about it after I'm born."

Several people sat down and said goodbye to each other

Li Yi talked about the gift again

Hu Jichang smiled and said: "Come on, that's good, we saved all the money."

Zhu Feng said: "This trend of gift-giving should have stopped a long time ago. Now whether it is in the officialdom or in the private sector, following people's money is a common practice. Some officials use this to amass money. these accounts

Li Yi said: "Human relationship, this is the link to maintain various interpersonal relationships, and it is also a treasure left by the ancestors. Think about it, how many feudal dross have been removed, but this is the only thing that has been preserved and carried forward. The reason also shows that in the lives of the people, the need for human relations is excellent in itself, but it has been used by some corrupt officials with ulterior motives, and it has become a tool for them to make money. The Commission for Discipline Inspection is now strictly investigating this trend. I think it's very good and we should take the lead in responding to the search for execution. Everyone is not an ordinary acquaintance, so I told you so bluntly, I hope you can understand me."

Yao Pengcheng said: "We all listen to Secretary Li. We will do whatever you tell us to do. Since giving gifts will harm you, then we will not give gifts."

Li Yi smiled and said: "This is my good comrade, good friend." Looking at the time, he said: "It's getting late, I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you all, I will talk about it first, When you come to the capital, I will take care of all the food and accommodation expenses here. There is one more thing, you must stay in the capital for a few more days, and I will take everyone to go shopping and have fun."

Xue Xue said: "Let's go now?"

Li Yi glanced at her and saw that there was some reluctance in her eyes, but because of Hua Xiaorui's appearance, Li Yi lost all interest, so he nodded and said: "Well, I will come to chat with you again when I have time."

Sun Wei said: "Li Yi, don't worry about us, you will get married tomorrow, and there are a lot of things waiting for you to take care of. Marriage and farming are busy."

Both Yao Pengcheng and Hu Jichang laughed and said, "That's right, that's right, Secretary Li, you just go to work, we will go shopping and have fun by ourselves, you accompany your wife well, and give birth to a precious son early."

Several people laughed, only Hua Xiaorui kept staring at Li Yi, as if she couldn't get enough of it

Li Yi nodded slightly to her, walked a few steps, and suddenly walked back, took out his wallet and took out a card to stuff in the child's swaddle, and said: "I saw the child for the first time today, and I didn't prepare any gifts. Think of it as the gift code for the child or the old code, should you still remember?"

Hua Xiaorui bit her lip and said in a low voice, "You are really generous—I thank Secretary Li on behalf of Haoran."

Li Yi nodded slightly, glanced at her, turned and left

When they came to the hotel where Zhang Zhenggui and others had collapsed, Li Yi went up to meet them, and after some pleasantries, he euphemistically expressed his idea of ​​not accepting gift money, and at the same time pointed out the inside information that the Disciplinary Inspection Commission was cracking down on such behavior

Zhang Zhenggui and the others are all veterans in the officialdom. Once they heard Li Yi's words, they knew the seriousness of the matter. They all expressed their understanding of Li Yi's approach. And limited by the custom, have to follow

Zhu Wen, Bao Jian'an and others naturally have a deeper relationship with Li Yi than others, especially when they came to the capital and heard Li Yi's true identity, they had an extra layer of goodwill and different feelings for Li Yi

As for other comrades, after learning of Li Yi's identity, they naturally have their own ideas, and at the same time understand why Li Yi was so awesome when he was in Jiangzhou

When Li Yi was about to leave, Zhu Wen sent him off and sent Li Yi to the car all the way, and then said in a low voice: "Secretary Li, I went to visit Chief Song, and Chief Song told me something, and asked me to pass it on to you."

Li Yi snorted and asked, "Comrade Song Zhengming, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhu Wendao: "He wants me to tell you only four words: beware of villains"

Li Yi twitched his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Wendao: "Master Song didn't say much, he just left these four words."

Li Yi hummed heavily and said, "I understand."

Zhu Wendao: "Secretary Li, I think it's obviously inappropriate for so many comrades to come to Jiangzhou this time."

Li Yi smiled and said: "You understand now? This is what the villain is doing. Huh, I want to see how big a storm they can cause" (to be continued)
