night.
in the kitchen.
Both Father Su and Mother Su went to the kitchen, looked outside, and closed the door.
As soon as Su's father came in, he whispered to his wife, "Look at you, look at the good things you have done!"
Su's mother was a little aggrieved and knew she was wrong, so she didn't dare to get angry with her wife. "I didn't know he was the secretary of the county party committee. What do you think about his appearance and age?"
Su's father said: "Then you don't have the same attitude towards others."
Mother Su said: "I thought he was trying to curry favor with our son, and he didn't want to lose his dignity, so he was a bit arrogant. Aren't all the family members of leaders like this? What do you think I'm going to do? What's more? , Didn’t you see it too? Who would have thought that a county party secretary would come to our house when he was busy on his first day in office? Who would have thought that he just got lost and passed by? "
Su's father pointed out that he "is still leading the family, and you've already made a show of it before even writing your horoscope. What do you think when the director of the house reads it?"
Mother Su asked anxiously: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Father Su shook his head, "How do I know?"
Mother Su said: "Will this affect Secretary Dong's attitude towards our son? Oh, what should I do? The transfer of Xiao Yan has not been decided yet. What if there is a change... I just called At that time, we let it slip that our son would be the secretary of the county party committee, and we can’t take it back.”
Su's father thought about it and shook his head slightly, "It shouldn't be that serious. I can see that Dong [Secretary] Ji is young despite being young. He is quite kind. Anyway, I didn't see that he was angry. Think about it, he is You are such a high-ranking official as the Secretary of the County Party Committee. How can you care about this with you? Didn't you see that he didn't have any emotions when he spoke to you just now? That's a problem. It probably won't have any impact on Xiaoyan's affairs. Don't think about it so much. Just cook quickly. If Mr. Dong is willing to take a few bites later, it means it's okay. It's just what we want. It’s too much, do it quickly.”
Su's mother said uneasily: "Okay, alas. I am also a bad talker. I didn't help my son by talking about it. Instead, I caused trouble for our son."
Su's father was also happy. "You can really imagine that you treat people as people asking for help. If people find out about this, they will laugh to death."
Mother Su's face turned red and she spat, "Can you just stop talking?"
…
ten minutes later.
As soon as the kitchen door opened, the food was ready.
Mother Su called out: "Xiaoyan, hurry up and serve food to your leader."
Su Yan snorted, and went over to bring dishes to the table. They were not the remaining vegetarian dishes on the table before, but some meat dishes, or a combination of meat and vegetables. Finally, there was another one on the fire. It's soup. There's a gurgling sound in the casserole. I don't know what it's stewed with, but it's quite fragrant anyway.
Mother Su came over and said with a smile: "The soup is not ready yet. Secretary Dong, please eat the vegetables first. Eat the vegetables."
Dong Xuebin hesitated, then stood up and walked to the dining table to sit down. "Thank you for your hard work, auntie. In fact, I was really full when I came out. I ordered a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, but you have already prepared them. I can't eat it now." Okay, okay, then I’ll have some fun.”
When Su's mother heard this, she was extremely happy. Since Secretary Dong wants to eat the food she cooked, it means that she is not angry at all. She is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. It is indeed what my wife said. In that way, how could a county party committee secretary know the same thing as me
Everyone sat down.
Even if Su's mother and Su's father had just eaten, the same was true for them. The county party committee secretary was on the table, so they definitely had to accompany him, and they had to eat a few more chopsticks.
Dong Xuebin took a few bites and said, "Well, it's delicious."
Mother Su smiled, "Really? Then eat more."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and patted his stomach, "If your stomach is full, you must not eat much."
"It's okay. Let Xiao Yan eat the rest. He hasn't eaten yet when he comes back. This kid just came in when you came over." Mother Su said.
Dong Xuebin looked at Su Yan, "Come back so late?"
Su Yan was afraid that the director would misunderstand that he had started socializing with others or forming cliques before he took office. He was afraid of leaving a bad impression on him, so he quickly explained, "Well, I went to the library to buy some after get off work. I spent a long time picking out a lot of books and wanted to improve myself.”
Dong Xuebin asked curiously: "What book did you buy?"
Su Yan snorted, "This is academic."
Dong Xuebin was amused, "What else is there to say?"
Su Yan scratched his head and said, "There are some books about Beijing dialect. I want to study them."
Capital dialect? Why are you studying this? Dong Xuebin understood it as soon as he thought about it, and said with a smile: "Is my accent too strong? Sometimes I can't understand it?"
Su Yan said hurriedly: "No, I just want to learn and learn a lot. I have always liked the accent of Beijing dialect. It sounds nice."
Dong Xuebin understood in his heart and said with a smile: "It's okay, you have reminded me. I will try to keep my tone calmer in the future, so that everyone can hear it clearly." Dong Xuebin didn't speak Mandarin at all, and he didn't learn it. However, I have never had this awareness. In addition, the people in the capital are more selfish and generous. In the past, when Dong Xuebin took office, even if others couldn't understand some of the words he said, Dong Xuebin didn't care. He just listened if they understood. , even if you don’t understand, I don’t care about you! But now that I think about it, I still can’t do this. I always consider others. This is also the most basic respect for others. Not to mention respect, at least it makes it easier to communicate and work with others, right? Therefore, although it is impossible for Dong Xuebin to speak every word in Mandarin, at least he can speak slower and swallow fewer words that are different from each other, so that it should be easier for others to hear clearly.
Su's mother interjected: "Secretary Dong, you don't have to do this. Let Xiao Yan learn it by himself. It just adds another skill, right?"
Su's father also said: "Yes, the leaders are not allowed to accommodate the people below."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Auntie, uncle, you two still don't understand me. What kind of leader does not lead? I am not that particular at all. I like to speak directly and I prefer people with true temperament. I I wanted Xiao Su to come over and help me just because of this. Others may think that it would be too bad for a cadre or a civil servant to hit someone in public, but I don’t think so. Fighting has nothing to do with it. Hitting someone for personal gain, That is naturally undesirable, but beating people for the personal safety and legitimate rights and interests of ordinary people, I think this is worthy of respect. Of course, beating people should not be advocated. Everyone knows that this is not good, but obviously I know there will be problems, but I can still stand up for the people at critical moments and not be afraid of the rumors. Isn't this worthy of respect? I don't know what others think. Anyway, what I see is different from what others see. Same."
Mother Su was a little excited after hearing this, "You are right, our Xiaoyan has this kind of character, he is warm-hearted and particularly caring about others. Although sometimes people always say that he is nosy, I always think that my son is kind-hearted. , you said it very well!”
Su Yan sneered, "Mom."
Mother Su pointed at him, "You see how well Secretary Dong understands you. Let me tell you, you will work hard in the future, and you must not let down Secretary Dong's trust in you."
Su Yan immediately said: "That's for sure."
Dong Xuebin's words were already a bit heart-to-heart, and he really said what was in his heart. Only then did Su Yan and Su's father and mother understand why Dong Xuebin chose Su Yan as his secretary.
Su's father was also very excited when he heard "Secretary Dong, let's have some drinks?" He felt that what Dong Xuebin said was so right, and it was in line with his own evaluation of his son. At home, Su's father had always been He raised his son in this way. He felt that a person could live without money and power for the rest of his life, but he could never lose his conscience. Therefore, Su Yan's character was also a product of his education. Even though Su's father had been criticizing his son, He felt that he was incompetent and that he was too capable of causing trouble, but in his heart he was actually very proud. Now that he had met Dong Xuebin, a leader who admired his son so much, Su's father suddenly felt like he had met a confidant.
Dong Xuebin smiled and thought for a moment, "That's okay, just drink a little?"
Su's father ordered: "Xiao Yan, take out my bottle of Maotai." This is his stored wine, and he will not take it out for outsiders to drink easily.
Su Yan responded and immediately went to get it.
Su's mother was worried and said, "You have high blood pressure, can you do it?"
Su's father said happily: "I'm happy today, so I must drink some!"
Mother Su curled her lips and stopped trying to persuade her.
But Dong Xuebin said: "Uncle, from now on we are no longer outsiders, and you don't have to be polite to me. Let's just order until we finish it, and drink until we're ready. We don't care how much we drink." Unless it's someone who really offended Dong Xuebin, Dong Xuebin Xuebin never tries to trick people into drinking. He only cares about drinking well. If he drinks too much and makes people vomit, there is no point. When people in the capital drink, they are all about enjoyment, drinking, talking, and eating. He didn't care until he drank it down. Dong Xuebin felt that this was drinking, and the others were at best drinking.
Maotai is here.
Dong Xuebin also knows the goods, and he can tell at a glance that this bottle seems to be twenty years old, and it is definitely not cheap. Although he has drunk this kind of wine, he has not had the opportunity to taste too much.
Su Yan poured wine for them, but didn't pour it himself.
Dong Xuebin looked at him, "Xiao Su, don't you want to drink some?"
Su's father said for him: "Xiao Yan is allergic to alcohol. He has been like this since he was a child. He can't drink. When he drinks, red bumps appear all over his body. They are so dense that it's scary to look at."
"Oh, then don't drink it. Allergies are really troublesome." Dong Xuebin picked up the cup and said, "Uncle, let's do it together. I respect you and wish you and your aunt a long life, haha."
Su's father said hurriedly: "Farewell, it's our turn to respect you. Thank you for your appreciation of Xiaoyan." (To be continued.)
