We had lunch at Qi Jie’s house on New Year’s Eve. During the Northern New Year, all the good wine and food are served at noon. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we eat dumplings. My second uncle called me specifically a few days ago.

He asked Tang Yi to go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, saying it was the old man's wish, but Tang Yi refused after much consideration. It wasn't that Tang Yi didn't want to go home, he just hoped that one day he and Xiao Jinhua could reunite with the old man in Beijing, otherwise he would be in Beijing

It’s lively and bustling, and it’s a bit uncomfortable for my mother to be alone in a foreign land. And this year is indeed a bit busy. After the 15th, the construction of the new city will start, and the preliminary preparations are still in progress. The party committee has already held a meeting

, this year during the Chinese New Year, all departments of the county party committee and county government will have a three-day holiday, and the construction of new urban areas must be given top priority.

After playing a few games of chess with Qi's father and chatting with Qi's mother, the whole afternoon passed in a hurry. When it got dark, Tang Yi left.

When Tang Yi arrived at the downstairs of his house, he saw the red BMW parked at the entrance of the building. He was slightly stunned. The white figure appeared in his mind, lonely and proud.

After entering the house, I saw the beautiful and refined Ning Xiaomei sitting quietly on the sofa, quietly sipping tea.

Tang Yi walked over and politely picked up the exquisite sandalwood teapot on the table and popped a few pieces of shredded tea into his cup. He had long wanted to taste Ning Xiaomei's tea. He drank some wine today.

He was a little excited and didn't hide some of his ideas. However, Ning Xiaomei looked at him in slight surprise.

Tang Yi poured hot water into the tea cup and asked casually: "Why are you here?"

Ning Xiaomei sipped her tea and said calmly: "It's not good for you to be alone during the New Year."

Tang Yi smiled, how much better would it be to have a stupid person like you? But after all, she showed concern for herself, even though it was just a courtesy concern, Tang Yi was still somewhat grateful to her.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face. When I came back, I found that the tea cup on the coffee table had been covered with a lid. Tang Yi had forgotten it when he made the tea. I guess it was Miss Ning who did it.

"When did you arrive?" Tang Yi asked, sitting down lazily, picking up the tea cup, and drank the tea in the cup. He immediately felt refreshed, his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and he couldn't help but let out a surprised sigh.

"Noon." Ning Xiaomei's faint words reached his ears. Tang Yi was stunned and looked at his watch. It was already past five o'clock. In other words, Ning Xiaomei had been sitting here for nearly six hours?

No matter what, Tang Yi felt a little sorry. He said: "Oh, it's just a headache since there is no contact method. But after the Chinese New Year, the county post and telecommunications office will launch the 26,2 paging service, and will also start building mobile network cellular base stations.

Then communication will be much more convenient." With the construction of the new city and Swan Lake started, the county party committee also coordinated with the provincial and municipal post and telecommunications departments, and both parties reached a consensus that Yanshan's mobile communications business will be developed after this year. However, the municipal post and telecommunications bureau is really good at it.

Tang Yi was a little bit amused by the implication of selling cheap, and actually hoped that Yanshan County could provide appropriate financial allocations for mobile infrastructure construction, but the reality is this. These departments are clearly not directly under the county committee and county government, but they are the favorites.

Take advantage of local government finances.

Ning Xiaomei nodded slightly without saying anything.

Tang Yi frowned again and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Ning Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I want to have lunch with you."

If it were someone else, waiting for such a long time, the host would definitely feel guilty. He would also take care of the host's face and speak tactfully. For example, if the host asked if he had eaten, he would usually answer yes. Ning Xiaomei never pretended.

, the straightforward answer made Tang Yi feel a little embarrassed.

Ning Xiaomei stood up and said, "I'm going to cook."

Tang Yi glanced at her and said with a smile, "Can you cook?"

Ning Xiaomei nodded lightly. Tang Yi wasn't hungry at first, but thinking that Ning Xiaomei probably hadn't had any water or rice since the morning, he felt a little sorry and said: "Forget it, let me cook it. You haven't used my house before."

In the kitchen, you don’t even know where to put the condiments.”

Ning Xiaomei frowned slightly and finally sat back down. Tang Yi looked funny and knew that she thought the food she cooked was unpalatable.

This time, Tang Yi didn't deliberately spoil it. He carefully cooked two side dishes, fish-flavored eggplant boxes and cola chicken wings, and mixed with cucumber jellyfish and tiger skin peppers, which were both sour, sweet, spicy, and he used a

Thoughts.

At the dinner table, Ning Xiaomei was still picking up vegetables in a polite manner. It really didn't look like she had been hungry all day. Tang Yi sighed, picked up a chicken wing and put it in Xiaomei Ning's bowl, and said: "Eat a big meal, I don't want to eat it."

Laughing at you."

Ning Xiaomei was startled by Tang Yi's sudden behavior. Because of her personality, no one around her dared to show any concern for her. Even her family gradually got used to her indifference and put vegetables in her bowl.

?Probably a feeling she has never experienced before.

Ning Xiaomei glanced at Tang Yi and said softly: "Thank you." Then she put the chicken wings back on the plate, pointed to the sanitary chopsticks on the table, and said: "You must use sanitary chopsticks when helping others to pick up food."

Tang Yi was speechless again, thinking that my chopsticks didn't touch my mouth, but he was too lazy to say anything more. He picked up the sanitary chopsticks and put the chicken wings into Miss Ning's bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat it."

Ning Xiaomei frowned, but finally picked up the chicken wings and chewed them slowly. Tang Yi looked at her funny and shook his head.

"Bao'er and Sister Lan went back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year. They left yesterday, otherwise you would still be able to see them." She knew clearly that she had no feelings for her god-sister and god-daughter, so she still politely said it. As expected, Ning

The younger sister nodded slightly and said nothing.

After dinner, Tang Yi thought about it for a while and said, "It's too late. Let's stay here for one night before leaving. There is another house upstairs. I'll go sleep up there."

Ning Xiaomei looked at Tang Yi quietly and said, "No, I have to go back to the military area to do something.

Tang Yi nodded slightly, and didn't ask her anything, and sent her downstairs. Watching the red dust disappear, Tang Yi didn't know what he felt in his heart. As time went by, Tang Yi often even received several guests at the same time.

I called the officials, and after a few days, I collected a lot of cigarettes and alcohol. Fortunately, everyone in the Yanshan officialdom now knows Tang Yi's living habits, and there is no place to send money. The cigarettes and alcohol are only one or two hundred yuan. To say that getting along with the leaders is a skill.

A lot of knowledge. The living habits of leaders are the least offensive. Sometimes they are even more resentful than offending leaders at work.

Tang Yi knew that on the festive days of the New Year, he had to collect all the tobacco and alcohol. He should not be too honest. If he was too excessive, it would not be called incorruptible, and it would be called ignorance of current affairs.

On the night of the third grade of junior high school, just after seeing off Director Zhang of the Finance Bureau, Chen Fangyuan and Chen Ke came gracefully. When they opened the door and saw Chen Ke, Tang Yi was stunned. They had not seen each other for half a year. But Chen Ke was already tall and slim, wearing the most fashionable red in the south.

High collared windbreaker. Just like a beautiful city girl, she is no longer shy as before, and she shakes hands with herself and says hello generously.

Big cities train people. Tang Yi sighed and let the two of them into the house.

Chen Fangyuan held Tang Yi's hand and gave him local tea. He was a little cautious and said, "Secretary Tang is having a good time celebrating the New Year."

Tang Yi smiled, nodded slightly, and looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting on the sofa side by side with Chen Fangyuan. She looked at herself with a different look. She looked at herself curiously as if she had never seen him before.

"Old Chen, just tell me if you have anything to do. I don't think you just want to see me during the New Year, right?" Tang Yi smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Chen Fangyuan hesitated and asked Tang Yi tentatively: "Secretary Tang, I heard that there will be an open space near the Xincheng Pedestrian Street? Is it true?"

Tang Yi nodded, thinking that Old Chen was no longer what he used to be. He could also hear the news of the resolutions that had not yet been officially announced by the county committee. Businessmen and officials were really inseparable.

Chen Fangyuan seemed to be thinking about his words, and after a long time he said cautiously: "I have this idea. I want to invest in building a supermarket there. Do you think it's okay?"

Tang Yi smiled and said: "What's wrong with that? The land set aside is to be used to raise funds to build a commercial district. If you come to invest, it's not too late to welcome you." He paused here and said, "But Lao Chen. Then

Pian'er is the commercial center of Yanshan in the future. The building must not be small-scale, do you have any problem with funds?"

Chen Fangyuan smiled and said, "There should be no problem with a bank loan."

Tang Yi stopped asking and picked up the tea cup to drink water.

Chen Fangyuan started to wink at his daughter, but Chen Ke just pretended not to see it. He had no choice but to smile again and said: "Can Secretary Tang take care of that land and grant me a piece of land with a better location?

"

Tang Yi smiled and said: "The Urban Construction Bureau is responsible for this matter. If you come to me, you are looking for the wrong person. You should follow the normal procedure. I have written down your matter."

Chen Fangyuan laughed, "That's it, that's it." Chen Ke looked at Tang Yi a little distracted. After half a year, he had changed a lot. He was calmer and more capable than before, and he had more of an official temperament. However, his heart

Well, I could occasionally see through the center of the earth, but it was no longer hidden and could no longer be touched.

Chen Fangyuan said again: "Secretary Tang, without you I wouldn't be where I am today, Lao Chen. You helped me start the cannery. You helped me hold on to the most difficult period in the early days. I, I don't know how to be grateful."

You..." He spoke very emotionally, his eye circles were a little red, Tang Yi waved his hand and said: "That is my job, it is all my responsibility. If I want to thank you, I should thank the party for its policy of enriching the people."

Old Chen nodded repeatedly and said with some choking: "Anyway, you are also my benefactor, Old Chen. I don't know how to repay you. I just want to give you 20% of the shares in the new supermarket. You see..." "Dad

!" Chen Ke tugged Chen Fangyuan's sleeves hard to prevent him from talking any more.

Tang Yi stopped drinking tea for a moment, slowly put the tea cup on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, don't say such things in the future. I'm watching the Chenjiatuo cannery.

I don’t want to see it collapse again.”

Chen Fangyuan pondered the meaning of Tang Yi's words and was shocked. Was this a warning to himself not to make mistakes?

When Chen Fangyuan and Chen Ke said goodbye, Chen Ke walked behind. He couldn't help but said to Tang Yi: "Secretary Tang, you have changed and you have become very strange."

Tang Yi smiled and said nothing. People will always change, so why hasn't Chen Ke changed?

Tang Yi sent the two of them downstairs. Chen Ke looked back from time to time, looking at Tang Yi's figure gradually disappearing into the night. Chen Ke suddenly blushed, remembering his absurdity in the past, thinking that he was inhumane. When he arrived at the university

I was browsing information in the library whenever I had time. I later found out that it was a misunderstanding. But now that I think about it, all the interesting things that happened with Tang Yi in the past were so heartwarming. I really hope that he can still touch his head and laugh at me.

"Little girl's movie", but after looking at the figure that was getting more and more hazy in the night, Chen Ke knew that those days were gone forever.

Tang Yi stood in the night for a long time. He wanted to talk to Chen Ke. However, seeing Chen Fangyuan's demeanor today, Tang Yi knew that he needed to keep a distance from him. What about her? They would eventually become two parallel lines.

, is there no intersection anymore? The district has begun to level the land. When the land thaws in spring, we can start laying foundations. The entire county seems to have become lively with the start of the construction of the new city. After all, the two provincial capital construction companies are large

The construction team has already stationed in the new city, and there are many construction workers with foreign accents on the streets of the county town at night.

The construction team not only stimulates consumption, but also brings a series of unstable factors. No, there have been two group fights between Yanshan locals and non-local workers in Ye Menglong, which resulted in Ye Menglong being specially inspected.

He was arrested once and was ordered to close for three days for rectification.

Of course, this is Tang Yi's instruction.

As the date for Daxing Electronics to build a factory in Yanqing was approaching, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission specially sent a working group to investigate. Tian Qingbin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, was the team leader. After a few days of investigation in Yanqing, the working group made a special trip to Yanshan for inspection.

Managing the misty night is an instruction given in such an atmosphere.

It was a cold spring in Yanshan, and the afternoon sun was so bright that it could not bring any warmth to the earth.

Several cars slowly drove into Liuhe Village in the northern suburbs of Yanshan County. The construction of the new urban area occupied a large amount of cultivated land in Liuhe Village. The provincial research team, accompanied by the main leaders of the county party committee, came to understand the implementation of issues such as land occupation fees and resettlement fees in the village.

Tang Yi was sitting in the back seat of the third car. Sitting next to him was Director Zhou of the County Party Committee Office. Tang Yi looked at the two cars in front with a thoughtful expression.

At the lunch meeting to welcome the working group held at the county party committee guest house at noon, Director Tian held Tang Yi's hand and said affectionately: "Comrade Xiao Ri often mentions you, the youngest division-level cadre and the youngest county party committee leader in our province.
