one day…
Two days…
Three days…
In the following days, Dong Xuebin began to socialize from day to night.
Pu An, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Jian Xiangrong, secretary of the United Front Work Department, and Chu Peng, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, all had to visit separately, and they all went to the other party's home to eat home-cooked meals. As for some leading cadres of departments directly under the county government and some cadres of towns and villages, many of them took the initiative to contact him. Dong Xuebin didn't want to offend others, but he didn't refuse anyone who came. He had a meal with everyone and said goodbye. In addition, some investors and comrade Dong Xuebin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not forget to invite all those with good relations to the dinner. Finally, those with the best connections, such as Chang Juan, Yao Cui, Chen Xiaomei, and Dong Xuebin, were all left at the end.
this day.
noon.
County Party Committee Family Court, Dong Family.
In the kitchen, Dong Xuebin, who had bought vegetables home in the morning, has been busy washing and chopping vegetables. The chopping board and table are full of vegetable codes, which is very messy.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Dong Xuebin wiped his hands and opened the door, "Come on, come on."
The door opened and it was Yao Cui and her brother Yao Li who entered the room. "Xue Bin."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Why didn't your parents come over? I even told you specifically."
Yao Cui chuckled, "They were afraid that your home wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people, so they just said forget it and let us take care of it for you. Congratulations on your promotion."
"Okay, then thank you two for me."
"Dong, Brother Dong, congratulations."
"Thank you Xiaoli, come on, come in quickly."
"Hey, are you busy? Let me help you."
"No, just sit down, I'll cook today."
The door was not closed, and the sound of footsteps gradually came again. It was Chen Xiaomei and Chang Juan who were coming.
"County Magistrate Dong."
"Xuebin, we are here."
"Haha, Sister Chang, Sister Chen, please come quickly."
Dong Xuebin let them into the room, and several women moved closer. The Yingying Yanyan looked very eye-catching, and Dong Xuebin's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
After greeting each other for a while, Yao Cui and Chen Xiaomei took the initiative to go to the kitchen.
Chang Juan didn't move. She took Dong Xuebin aside and whispered, "Xuebin, you said you left as soon as my sister arrived. What will your sister do with you here?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "I have made arrangements. If you have anything to do in the future, you can contact County Magistrate Jiang."
Chang Juan felt a little resentful, "Sister, I definitely can't live in this remote country all my life. My child is still with the capital, so you can't ignore me."
"How could that be possible?" Dong Xuebin assured: "Isn't this what you are doing? Sister Chang, don't worry first, you have to stabilize your qualifications, and the investment promotion is going so smoothly. If you don't get political achievements, you won't get it for free. Wait for a while If you have enough seniority, tell me again and I will help you find a way to transfer back."
Chang Juan was happy when she heard it, "This is what you said."
"I said it, haha." Dong Xuebin said.
"Okay, it's really interesting." Chang Juan was happy and touched Dong Xuebin's hand when others were not paying attention, making Dong Xuebin's old face blush.
Boom, boom, boom.
Someone else is coming.
This time Yan Yizhi and Zheng Dayou came in, followed by Chen Yunsong, Cheng Yujie, Gong Na and others. They might have met downstairs and came up together.
"Lao Yan, Lao Zheng, Xiao Chen and Xiao Gong are here too? Come in quickly."
"County Magistrate Dong, I brought you something, a local souvenir."
"Look, I told you not to bring anything with me repeatedly, right? You still don't listen."
"Haha, it's just a courtesy. You should bring some of our local specialties when you go back to the capital. It saves you the trouble of buying them."
"Well, thank you very much."
"You're welcome. I've always been taken care of by you. It's not right to buy something."
"Stop talking outside. Come inside and sit down. Everyone is almost here. I'll go cook."
But in the end, Dong Xuebin was still busy. Chang Juan, Chen Xiaomei, Yao Cui, and Gong Na crowded the kitchen, and it was they who cooked the dishes. Zheng Dayou, Yan Yizhi and others took Dong Xuebin to talk on the sofa, with a few cups of tea and a few cigarettes, the room was very lively.
Twelve o'clock sharp.
The dishes were brought out by several women.
"It's time to eat." Chen Xiaomei said with a smile: "A few of us women fried it. Let's try it. We don't know if it is to our liking. If it doesn't work, we will cook it again."
"Sit down quickly, Old Chen."
"Director Chen, Director Chang, and Township Chief Yao, you guys have worked hard."
"Hey, this dish looks delicious when you look at it. By the way, I forgot to buy wine."
"It's okay, I have it here, and Moutai Wuliangye has it."
"It's better to have a meal with County Magistrate Dong to gain some advantage. There's good wine every time."
"Haha, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I won't take any wine or cigarettes with me. Remember to share them when you go home in the afternoon. Think of it as helping me solve my problem. Come on, come on, let's eat."
"I suggest that everyone first toast to County Magistrate Dong."
"That's right, first of all, I would like to pay my respects to County Magistrate Dong, and congratulations on your promotion."
"County Magistrate Dong, would you like to say a few words?"
At the table, everyone picked up their wine glasses and stood up, facing Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin also picked up the wine glass and stood up, looked at everyone, and said: "Everyone has left for dinner. Today is the last meal. Why did I leave everyone at the end to invite them together? Because everyone here not only supports I have helped my colleagues and they are all my friends, so I did not book a hotel or a private room, but invited everyone to my home." After a pause, "I will go back tomorrow, and I will come to Zhenshui County. It has been five months, and I have gained a lot of feelings and gained a lot. Of course, what I miss the most is everyone. I feel very lucky and honored to be able to work with you. Thank you for your continued support and trust. Thank you very much. I won’t say anything else, I’ll do it first out of respect!”
"We did it too."
"cheers."
"To you, County Magistrate Dong."
"I wish you success and success."
After a glass of wine, everyone sat down and moved their chopsticks.
Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "I'll try Lao Chen's cooking first, and I've never tried yours." He picked up a chopstick and chewed it, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It's delicious!"
Miss Chen smiled widely and said, "Then eat more."
"That's for sure. Hey, what are you waiting for? If you don't eat, I'll snatch them all up." Dong Xuebin has always paid attention to his dignity, and he is always energetic when he is with everyone. After all, he You are a leader, but today Dong Xuebin has obviously let go of all restraints. He rolls up his sleeves like a hungry wolf, frequently takes down his chopsticks and eats, and looks very ugly, because he does not regard everyone here as an outsider, but looks close to him. , Sister Chang’s craftsmanship is also good, um, Cui’er is always good at this dish, it’s delicious!”
"hehe."
"Mr. Dong, please eat slowly."
"Haha, let's start eating too, otherwise I don't think there will be anything left."
While eating, drinking and chatting, the atmosphere at the dinner table was great. (To be continued.
