Chapter 648 Incarnate as a porter
"Yes." Shui Qingzhang said slowly: "Tomorrow is your sister Ye Qingrou's wedding day, and I will rush to the capital to attend. The Ye family didn't call you, probably for this reason."
Li Yuanlang suddenly realized that no wonder Chang Ming made that careless phone call. He must have thought that Li Yuanlang, as his mother's brother, would attend Ye Qingrou's wedding.
Li Yuanlang didn't care about Ye Mingren or the Ye family's attitude toward him. What he was angry about was why his sister didn't tell him.
Does she still have this brother in her heart?
Fortunately, I agreed to move my mother's grave in order to accommodate my sister and not make it difficult for her, but she...
I really didn't expect that as soon as I got home today, I would encounter such unsatisfactory things, and Li Yuanlang was in an extremely bad mood.
"Go call your sister. She shouldn't be asleep at this time." Shui Qingzhang said, picked up the tea cup and started drinking.
Li Yuanlang walked out of the study in despair and checked his cell phone to see if there were any missed calls from his sister.
He was disappointed.
I stood in front of the window with my mobile phone, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, and my mind was filled with thoughts.
Do you want to make this call?
Forget it, my sister would have called her if she had wanted to. What's the point of forcing her to agree to attend?
Li Yuanlang closed his eyes in pain, thinking about the past in his mind, feeling very sad.
He put away his phone and silently turned around and went upstairs.
There are more than a dozen steps. Every time Li Yuanlang takes a step up, he feels as if he is weighing a thousand pounds.
Tonight, he suffered from insomnia. He tossed and turned like making pancakes and couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Li Yuanlang drove straight to the Transportation Department and Highway Bureau. His mission was to deliver the local products brought from Daiding County.
The Comprehensive Planning Division of the Department of Transportation is responsible for highway development strategies and planning. There is also the Construction Management Division and the Highway Division, which are all docks that need to be visited.
Fortunately, the directors of these departments had had contact with Li Yuanlang before and knew Li Yuanlang's identity.
Of course it does not refer to his status as county magistrate. In their opinion, this position is not worth mentioning.
In their eyes, the county secretary or county magistrate below is no different from the village party secretary or village director.
At the same level, because of the different environment and power, they are naturally superior to others.
Therefore, Li Yuanlang's identity as Shui Qingzhang's son-in-law is the most important thing.
Just kidding, the top three leaders in the province, not to mention their junior division chiefs, even the director would not dare to look down upon Li Yuanlang when he saw him.
Thanks to these preparations, things went smoothly.
Li Yuanlang didn't need to move anything in the car. The three division chiefs all arranged for people to do it, so Li Yuanlang didn't have to worry too much.
At noon, he took advantage of the break to visit his father at the senior citizen center.
My father has been in a bad mental state recently. He feels dazed all day long, his hearing is also declining, and he ignores anyone who talks to him.
Even though his son came, the father didn't react at all. He only looked at one place and remained motionless.
The doctor said that these are all signs of serious symptoms. Currently, there are no good drugs to treat them, they can only be maintained.
Li Yuanlang was heartbroken but could do nothing.
What panacea can he have for a problem that cannot be solved by the world's medicine?
He patiently fed his father lunch and ate the rest of his father's food to simply fill his stomach.
Li Yuanlang didn't leave until he waited for his father to take a nap.
The Provincial Highway Bureau is a deputy department-level institution directly under the Department of Transportation, with 16 division-level functional departments.
Li Yuanlang was going to the local road management office.
This time, Li Yuanlang and Jin Sheng agreed to build not only provincial roads in Daiding County, but also county roads and village-level roads leading to various towns and villages in Daiding County.
Director Miao Songguang had just taken office not long ago, and Li Yuanlang didn't know him. Likewise, he wasn't familiar with Li Yuanlang either.
When Li Yuanlang walked into his office, Miao Songguang didn't even stand up. He just stretched out his hand symbolically, touched Li Yuanlang, raised his chin, and motioned for Li Yuanlang to sit on the chair opposite him.
"Miao Chu, my name is Li Yuanlang, and I am the county magistrate of Daiding County. I am here this time..."
Before Li Yuanlang could finish speaking, Miao Songguang raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll finish reading this document before talking."
Li Yuanlang had no choice but to stop and wait for Miao Songguang to read the documents slowly.
&n After about ten minutes, Miao Songguang took off his glasses and stretched.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and all offices in the Highway Bureau are busy doing New Year's goods and running personal errands, and Miao Songguang is no exception.
He had a social event tonight, and he didn't originally plan to receive anyone. However, he heard that the other party was a county magistrate, equal to him in terms of rank. If he was a deputy county magistrate, or even a standing deputy, Miao Songguang would not meet him at all.
After pinching his neck and turning his head, Miao Songguang finished flexing his muscles, took out a cigarette from the box on the table, lit it for himself, and then looked at Li Yuanlang.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, looking at how old he is, he is probably not even forty. At this age, he is the head of a county, which is really enviable.
I remember when I was this age, I had just become a deputy section chief.
It is absolutely true that people are more irritating than others.
"County Magistrate Li is so young." Miao Songguang was reluctant to say "Young and promising," which was enough to show how jealous he was.
Li Yuanlang smiled slightly and said, "Miao Chu looks very young too, he should be a few years older than me."
Miao Songguang naturally liked hearing this compliment. He was almost fifty, and anyone would be satisfied if he was said to be young.
He touched his sparse hair and said with emotion: "No, I'm old. Compared with you young people, I'm already an old man."
"Miao Chu, you are being polite. Anyone who looks at you will think you are young."
"Haha." Miao Songguang laughed and shook his head, stubbing out half of his cigarette in the ashtray, and then got back to the topic.
Li Yuanlang briefly described the construction of county roads and rural roads in Daiding County, and submitted the report to him.
Despite Li Yuanlang's nagging, Miao Songguang felt happy, but when the critical moment came, he started to speak in an official tone.
"County Magistrate Li, please leave the report here for now. I will take a look at it when I have time and do some research."
Anyone with a discerning eye will understand that Miao Songguang is just prevaricating.
When there is time, it all depends on Miao Songguang's mood.
Li Yuanlang was not in a hurry. This matter would not happen until spring anyway. It would be unrealistic not to expect anything to be gained from just one meeting.
"Okay, then please give Miao Chu a lot of trouble." Li Yuanlang stood up and said politely: "The county has prepared some local products. Please try Miao Chu and give your valuable opinions."
Miao Songguang was used to seeing this kind of thing, so it was no wonder that there were piles of gifts in his house. When he heard about local specialties, he immediately got dizzy.
He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to give it away. I don't lack anything at home. Take it back."
After finally getting him to the provincial capital, how could there be any reason why he couldn't be sent out?
Li Yuanlang tried to persuade him, but Miao Songguang finally accepted it.
He didn't ask Li Yuanlang to send it to his home, he simply sent it to his sister.
The conditions of his sister's family are not good, and the things he doesn't like will become rare items in his sister's house.
So, Miao Songguang told Li Yuanlang the address of his sister's home, and then contacted his sister to ask her to accept it.
Sister Miao Songguang was very excited when she heard that someone finally gave her a gift. This was a great thing.
She lives in an old building with a six-story top floor.
When Li Yuanlang arrived in the car, her brother did not mention Li Yuanlang's identity on the phone. She thought Li Yuanlang was his brother's driver.
In line with the mentality of not using anything in vain, she did not ask her husband to help, but ordered Li Yuanlang to move the things to her house in a commanding tone.
It would be fine if there were two boxes in one box. There were six items in total. Two boxes of rice, two bags of dumpling powder, and two boxes of mountain products such as fungus mushrooms.
Looking at the high sixth floor, Li Yuanlang gritted his teeth, took off his coat, and moved two items at a time, three times before finishing the move.
After working for nearly an hour, Li Yuanlang was so tired that he was sweating all over and his clothes were soaked.
There is no other way, you have to lower your profile when asking for help.
Shan Miao Songguang got into the car that picked him up for dinner after get off work. He smiled and said hello to the people in the car, "Director Hua, you are well."
This director Hua was none other than the director of the Guangnan Municipal Transportation Bureau, Hua Zhiyi. When the Shuiming Township Highway was being built, Li Yuanlang squeezed out road construction funds from him.
Obviously, Hua Zhiyi and Miao Songguang have an old relationship.
The two of them were chatting hotly in the car, and as they chatted, the topic of conversation came to Li Yuanlang.
In order to show off, Miao Songguang also specifically mentioned how County Magistrate Li transformed into a porter and moved things to his sister's house on the sixth floor.
