morning.
County Party Committee Family Court.
The Discipline Inspection Commission records the Pu An family.
"Dad! Come here!"
"What are you doing Taotao?"
"Come on down! Let's talk in the house!"
"We have to leave now, what are we doing?"
Father and daughter Pu An and Pu Tao entered a small bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, Pu Tao, who was wearing a wedding dress, said unhappy: "Dad, your daughter is thirty years old this year, and she will only get married once in her life. Can't you make it grander and more beautiful for me? I know. You are the leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so you must pay attention to the influence. I am not an ignorant person, but I don’t care about anything else. I can make do with a hotel wedding dress, but at least find me a good car as the first car to welcome the bride. Look at Zhang Wanshui Is the car in front of my son a Lexus? The two cars behind are also Audis, but what about ours? A lot of my friends and classmates are here. Where to put the face?”
Pu An frowned and said, "What kind of cars are not the same?"
Pu Tao said: "Of course it's different. The scene is far different. How many people in the county are paying attention to it now? Are you still not being compared to Zhang Wanshui's family?"
Pu An said: "But where is the regular wedding company in Zhenshui County?"
Pu Tao said: "If there is no wedding company in the county, go to the city. How many days have you been preparing for it, and you still can't find a good car with your connections?"
"These are the cars found in the city."
"Just an Audi? Even a domestically produced BMW and Benz will do!"
"Let's make do, you are getting married today. Be very happy."
"Am I happy? I get upset when I see that Audi!"
"Taotao, don't be angry, go and stay with your in-laws quickly, don't leave me alone."
Pu Tao had a straight face. She opened the door and left while holding on to the skirt of her wedding dress, still looking very angry.
Pu'an was helpless and did not go out. In a bad mood, he lit a cigarette in the room and smoked it one puff at a time. The expression is not good either.
The door opened.
The one who came in was Jian Xiangrong, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department. Like Pu'an, both of them were free centrists in the county. Although they did not take sides, their lives were not that difficult. After all, the majority of the votes on the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee It is still in the hands of Secretary Meng, so their votes are not harmful, and can actually balance the situation appropriately. This environment resulted in the two of them not being dissatisfied with each other, and gradually forming a balance with the situation in the county. As centrists, Pu An and Jian Xiangrong had always had a good relationship and were very supportive.
"Lao Pu, what's wrong?"
"It's okay."
"Is everything okay? I think Taotao is angry?"
"Oh, she was angry with me because of the wedding car."
Jian Xiangrong looked at him, "I've always wanted to ask. Why did you get an Audi? Did the man prepare it?"
Pu An shook his head and said: "I set it all up, but you also know the conditions in the city. There are only two serious wedding companies. I only contacted them after booking the hotel. But they actually said that the cars are rented out. There are no cars left. Today is an auspicious day and there are many weddings, so it is normal for cars to be tight. Some people ordered cars half a year ago. As for other wedding companies in the city, they are similar, and I contacted them later. There were a few, but people thought our Zhenshui County was too far away, so they didn’t even come out with the car. Finally, after asking someone for a long time, they reluctantly found this Audi. "Although in Zhenshui County, the energy of a standing committee member of the county committee is definitely not small. , but the conditions in Zhenshui County are really bad. Not to mention wedding companies, I can count all the luxury cars in the county on one hand. It’s so poor. If you look at other cities and other places, Pu’an’s reputation It's not big enough, so that's why it's like this.
"There are quite a lot of people getting married today. I saw quite a few of them on the way here. Well, where are they in the province?"
"The cars over there won't even come. It's too far. It's useless if I add money. And you know our family's financial situation. I can't afford to rent a good car."
"Oh, I can't help with this matter. We don't have a good car there either."
"It doesn't matter, that's it."
Pu'an's integrity is well-known in Zhenshui County.
If it were anyone else, Jian Xiangrong might have thought it was just a show, but he has known Pu An for so many years that he naturally knows who Pu An is and that his family is really poor. In this regard, Jian Xiangrong is similar to him. , which is one of the reasons why the two are very close. Alas, Jian Xiangrong has always felt that Lao Pu should not break up with Zhang Wanshui. He has never said this because Jian Xiangrong knows Pu An's temper and is very stubborn. He probably can't persuade him, so he doesn't. said.
Now that this is the case, we can only rush the ducks to the shelves.
…
Half an hour later.
Family courtyard, downstairs.
I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but the wedding reception teams of the two families upstairs actually came out together. They were in the same building, but not the same unit. The two families walked out of the building almost at the same time, with the groom holding the bride. Followed by a large group of people cheering.
Crackling!
Firecrackers sound again!
"Zhang Shuji! Congratulations!"
"Xiao Zhang, I wish you a happy marriage!"
"Have a son sooner than later, have a son sooner, haha!"
Everyone in the family courtyard also came to congratulate him.
Most of the people present came to congratulate Deputy Secretary Zhang Wanshui's son, and there were several county committee members standing around to help out, such as Cheng Fuguang, Liao Haiwei, Jiang Hai, Ci Boyang and other bureau leaders. On the other hand, Pu'an and On Pu Tao's side, there were very few people congratulating him. This is one, and the other is the wedding convoy parked downstairs. Zhang Wanshui's family has a luxury car worth a million dollars, and there are many good cars behind it, and there are many, a long and dense series, and there are many The space in the family courtyard was so full that it was hard to get in. They were all parked outside. They were all organized voluntarily by the county cadres. If Zhang Wanshui's family's fleet was included together, there would be at least twenty vehicles. However, there are only six or seven of the Pu'an family's cars parked in the courtyard. Even if there are some outside, there must not be more than ten.
One positive and one negative.
One is strong and one is weak.
The contrast is obvious.
Later, Zhang Wanshui and Pu An also went downstairs one after another.
"Thank you for coming, thank you." Zhang Wanshui was very high-spirited, and without looking at Pu'an over there, he said to everyone: "Everyone, please get on the bus."
Zhang Wanshui's son also looked very proud. He had already carried his daughter-in-law, who was wearing a wedding dress, into the car. He also said hello to the elders and friends around him.
The car has to go to the hotel.
Everyone got on the bus one by one.
Zhang Wanshui and the woman's family have many relatives. After all, Zhang Wanshui's daughter-in-law is also a retired leader of Zhenshui County, and they have been living in the family home. Fortunately, his family has many cars, and it is still easy to accommodate dozens of people. After entering, the firecrackers were set off again. Zhang Wanshui glanced at the deserted motorcade in Pu'an and the others, then chatted and laughed with the four county committee members behind him, and then let them get on the bus.
Mr. and Mrs. Pu An looked not very good and glanced at the cadres who were congratulating Zhang Wanshui's family.
Pu Tao also had a dark face and felt uncomfortable. After being carried into the car by her husband, she did not give him a smile. Her husband seemed to have a good temper and just smiled bitterly.
The gap between the two parties is a bit big.
You don’t need to look at this to know this.
But just when the Pu Tao family felt a little embarrassed, a young woman wearing an elegant suit slowly walked out of the corridor.
"County magistrate?"
"County Magistrate Jiang!"
"County Magistrate Jiang!"
Jiang Fangfang nodded to them lightly.
Zhang Wanshui was stunned, but he didn't expect Jiang Fangfang to come down. Even though they were not from the same faction, County Magistrate Jiang was a level higher than him. Zhang Wanshui couldn't help but went up to meet him.
Jiang Fangfang also returned the greeting and congratulated Zhang Wanshui and his son and daughter-in-law.
But after saying that, Jiang Fangfang suddenly turned around slowly and walked towards Pu'an, "Pu's Secretary, congratulations."
Pu An immediately said: "Thank you, County Magistrate Jiang. I share the same joy. Xiao Tao, why are you still sitting in the car?"
When Pu Tao saw Jiang Fangfang, he immediately pulled his husband beside him and got out of the car with him to greet County Magistrate Jiang.
However, Jiang Fangfang waved her hand and said with a smile: "Today the bride and groom are the oldest, don't get out of the car. Mr. Pu, can you leave me a seat in the car behind? I just want to go with you."
Pu An was stunned and said deeply: "County Magistrate Jiang, thank you."
"Xiao Tao is getting married, so of course I'm going to go. Why are you thanking me?"
"...Please get in the car." Pu An said with some thanks.
Jiang Fangfang nodded slightly and sat in the second car.
Zhang Wanshui frowned and looked deeply at Jiang Fangfang.
Many people did not react. Although they knew that Secretary Meng and County Magistrate Jiang would definitely attend the wedding, they were the top and second-in-commands in the county after all. How could they wait until the wedding banquet was about to start? Only in order to show his identity as a leader, why did County Magistrate Jiang come out so early? And also going to Pu'an's daughter's wedding? Do you want to go with the motorcade to welcome the bride
The identity of the county magistrate is naturally different.
With Jiang Fangfang's involvement, Pu An's family gained some face. Although it was not as good as that of Zhang Wanshui's family, at least it was not that shabby. As soon as some cadres who had not expressed their opinions saw Jiang Fangfang getting into the car, many people from the Jiang family also got on the Pu An family's motorcade.
The same goes for Yao Cui and Ma Bin.
Pu'an knew that County Magistrate Jiang had always wanted to win him over, and he had never expressed his opinion. But today, Magistrate Jiang gave him such face, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.
But today, the situation seems to be messier than everyone imagined.
I don't know whether Secretary Meng had been preparing to go downstairs a long time ago, or whether he was deliberately going against County Magistrate Jiang. A few seconds later, Meng Rui and his wife also walked down the corridor.
"Meng〖Book〗!"
"Uh, Monkey Book!"
"Meng [Book] records that you are here?"
"Well, congratulations." Meng Rui congratulated Pu'an and Zhang Wanshui respectively, then turned around and got into Zhang Wanshui's car.
