"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Zhang, hello, my name is Duan Zetao, I am Xiaoxue's classmate. [ ]", after Duan Zetao put down the gift, he came to the middle of the room and introduced himself respectfully.
The middle-aged couple held hands and sat solemnly on the sofa. Although they did not refuse Duan Zetao to enter the room, they did not give him a good look. After Duan Zetao introduced himself, the couple still said nothing and left him standing awkwardly.
The air in the room seemed to have condensed, making it so depressing that one could hardly breathe.
Jiang Xiaoxue felt heartbroken when she saw her beloved lover being fucked by her parents. She tugged on Duan Zetao's clothes and said, "Zetao, sit down and talk."
Duan Zetao sat down on the sofa nearby and saw an ashtray on the coffee table. He quickly took out Furong Wang and handed one to Jiang Zuoliang, "Uncle Jiang, you smoke."
Jiang Zuoliang raised his head and glanced at Duan Zetao. The boy in front of him was pretty good from appearance to conversation. He was not as bad as he imagined. It was a pity that he had no family background and worked in remote Shannan. For this reason, he could not
Become your own son-in-law.
He waved his hand and refused the cigarette Duan Zetao handed him, but picked up a pack of soft Chinese from under the coffee table, smoked one and held it in his mouth. Although Duan Zetao was a little embarrassed, he quickly took back his cigarette and took out his lighter to help Jiang Zuoliang.
The fire was lit.
He was quite good at things. His action made Jiang Zuoliang's impression of him slightly better. After blowing out a puff of smoke from his nostrils, Jiang Zuoliang finally said the first words Duan Zetao said when he entered the room: "Young man, where is my home? Home.
Who are they? What do they do?".
This was the beginning of the household registration check. Duan Zetao answered one by one in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Zhang Xiaoxian, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help it anymore and snorted coldly: "A toad wants to eat swan meat, and a poor boy from the countryside wants to marry him."
Our Xiaoxue is a joke!".
Although Duan Zetao had been mentally prepared, he didn't want Zhang Xiaoxian to speak so harshly when he opened his mouth. He suppressed his anger and said: "Uncle, aunt, emperors and generals have nothing to do with each other. Please give me some time, and I will definitely do some results to prove it."
It can give Xiaoxue happiness."
Zhang Xiaoxian glanced at Jiang Xiaoxue, who was crying and felt a little soft in her heart. But thinking of Jiang Xiaoxue's future, she hid the warmth in her heart, and her facial expression became as hard as a walnut again, "Huh, proof?
!What proof do you have! I can’t possibly bet my daughter’s lifelong happiness on your flimsy proof!”.
Jiang Zuoliang pulled Zhang Xiaoxian, who was a little excited, and said: "Xiao Duan, although your aunt's words are unpleasant, we only have a daughter, Xiaoxue. Of course we hope that she will live a happy life, but with your current conditions, it is impossible to give her happiness.
Yes, so we cannot agree to you being together, I believe you can understand this."
Duan Zetao had expected this situation. In his previous life, it was under the pressure of Jiang Zuoliang and Zhang Xiaoxian that he broke up with Jiang Xiaoxue. But when this scene happened again, his heart felt like it was being crushed by a big hand.
, was speechless for a long time. He glanced at Jiang Xiaoxue, who was pale and grief-stricken next to him. Her tragic experience in the previous life came to his mind. Will the tragedy happen again? Absolutely!
His thinking became clearer, he stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, looked directly at Jiang Zuoliang, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, aunt, although you don't agree with me and Xiaoxue continuing to date, I don't blame you.
, because you are wholeheartedly for Xiaoxue, I can understand this. But if Xiaoxue breaks up with me and finds someone she doesn’t love to get married, do you think she will really be happy?"
Jiang Xiaoxue had tears in her eyes and stared at Duan Zetao affectionately, just like at a whole-school debate at Jiangnan University three years ago, she also watched Duan Zetao make his final statement in front of thousands of people, turning the tide with his brilliant argument and moving him.
She won the judges and everyone present, became the best debater in that debate, and opened her heart. Will a miracle happen this time?
Jiang Zuoliang and Zhang Xiaoxian were also overwhelmed by Duan Zetao's momentum and were so surprised that Zhang Xiaoxian opened her mouth and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Duan Zetao's powerful gesture, "Auntie, please listen to me, my
The requirements are not high, please give me three years. If I cannot prove that I can bring happiness to Xiaoxue within three years, then I will give up on my own initiative and never pester Xiaoxue again! Please believe me!"
Jiang Zuoliang and Zhang Xiaoxian exchanged glances, frowned and said: "Okay, I will give you three years. Within three years, if you can become a county-level cadre or earn more than 10 million in assets, I will
I will marry Xiaoxue to you, but within these three years, you will not be able to see Xiaoxue again."
In Jiang Zuoliang's view, it is impossible for Duan Zetao to fulfill these two conditions. Duan Zetao is now twenty-three years old. In three years, when he is twenty-six, he will become a county-level cadre. This has no precedent in the entire Jiangnan Province.
It is even completely inconsistent with the rules for cadre promotion.
Jiang Xiaoxue obviously understood this and said anxiously: "Dad, this is not fair. You only became the director in your thirties, why..." Duan Zetao shook her hand firmly and said with firmness and confidence
He looked at her and said: "Xiaoxue, please believe me!" After saying that, he turned to Jiang Zuoliang and said: "Uncle, I agree to your conditions. You are both busy, so I won't disturb you. Goodbye!
", after saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Zetao! I'll see you off!" Jiang Xiaoxue shouted and hurriedly chased her out. Zhang Xiaoxian wanted to stop her, but was persuaded by Jiang Zuoliang, "Let them go. Some things can't be pushed too hard. I think that
The young man is also a measured person, but it’s a pity that his background is a bit poor, otherwise it would be great to be my son-in-law!”.
Duan Zetao and the tearful Jiang Xiaoxue said goodbye. They agreed to never give up on each other, but they still felt like something was stuck in their hearts. They no longer wanted to stay in the provincial capital, so they called Tanhong to tell him.
After getting off the bus, I took the bus that day and hurried back to Shanglin Township, where I joined the craze of organizing villagers to pick citrus.
The villagers were a little hesitant about selling citrus. Fortunately, Duan Zetao had established a certain prestige due to his family planning work, and went to the front line to do persuasion and organization work. Finally, he picked and packaged more than 8 million kilograms of citrus in half a month and concentrated them.
Stacked in the large playground of Shanglin Township School.
When Sinopec's large motorcade with red banners bearing the words "Love Citrus Student Aid Action" rolled into Shanglin Township, Zhong Hanliang and the village cadres finally let go of their worries.
Duan Zetao brought a group of citrus sales volunteers such as Li Wenxiu to the provincial capital along with a convoy full of citrus. Previously, all major media had pre-hyped the event one week in advance as agreed. After the event started, the Traffic Radio Station and Economic Radio Station
The event was covered for eight hours throughout the day, and TV stations also reported on the event during prime news time.
The 'Love Citrus Student Aid Action' caused a sensation in the provincial capital. The response from the citizens was very enthusiastic. There was an endless stream of car owners who came to buy citrus to express their love, which once caused traffic jams. Many citizens also took taxis to express their love.
Many citizens did not ask about the price at all, dropped a hundred-yuan bill, loaded up a box of citrus and ran away. Many citizens also expressed their intention to support out-of-school mountainous children after seeing the promotional display boards at the event. There were also two caring enterprises.
He stated that he would assist in building two Hope Primary Schools in Shanglin.
The entire event was a huge success. More than 8 million kilograms of citrus were sold out in less than three days, and the sales amount was more than 5 million yuan, which was much higher than normal market sales. In addition, on-site donations were also received
More than 800,000 yuan in goods and materials were donated, and more than 0 out-of-school children received support from caring people. Li Wenxiu also received support from a caring person, who paid all her tuition fees for four years of college, fulfilling her college dream.
Duan Zetao was probably the busiest person at the scene. He not only had to coordinate all the work on the scene, but also personally joined the citrus sales team and patiently explained to the citizens who came to inquire. After three days, his throat was hoarse.
Big beads of sweat dripped down and I didn't even bother to wipe them.
Xie Na brought Yuan Xidong to the scene. She looked at Duan Zetao who was very busy and said that men at work are the most handsome. A special look flashed in her eyes. She quietly pressed the camera shutter and took a picture.
A photo of Zhang Duan Zetao selling oranges with sweat all over his head.
The next day, the Jiangnan Provincial Metropolis Daily published a special report on the front page "The Township Head Selling Oranges". Next to the report was a photo of Duan Zetao, sweating profusely, selling oranges. Shi Tao, a reporter from the daily, felt that this article
The news report sold well, and the full text of the report was reprinted on the second page of Jiangnan Daily the next day.
This report made Duan Zetao famous and entered the attention of upper-level leaders. Zhao Xiangyang, secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, pointed to this report in the Jiangnan Provincial Daily and said to Liu Dongsheng, director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee: "This township head named Duan Zetao is very important.
Not bad, they are good at using their brains and are practical in their work. We currently lack such grassroots cadres. Your organization department should focus on cultivating such cadres!" Liu Dongsheng nodded repeatedly and remembered this town selling citrus.
long.
Sun Xianglong, secretary of the Shannan Prefectural Committee, also read this report and immediately called Zhang Xiaochuan, head of the Organization Department of the Prefectural Committee. He happily pointed at the report and said: "Xiaochuan, the Duan Zetao mentioned in this report is from Shannan, right? It's very good.
Well, it has brought glory to Shannan. Just now, Director Liu from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee called me specifically to praise Duan Zetao."
Zhang Xiaochuan was also very happy and said: "Secretary Xianglong, this Duan Zetao is the young cadre our Organization Department recruited from Jiangnan University last time. It is a bold attempt of our Organization Department to train young cadres. It seems to be very successful now."
Yes, this Duan Zetao is now the deputy township head of Shanglin Township, Gurin County. He has achieved remarkable results and has received very good responses from the masses and cadres. We are preparing to focus on training him."
Sun Xianglong nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, many of our cadres are aging, their education level is not high, and their ideas are rigid. They know that they have to wait and see, so we need to enrich young fresh blood, such as Duan Zetao, who is highly educated and highly educated.
We must focus on cultivating hard-working young cadres and boldly appoint them.”
Ma Fugui, secretary of the Gulin County Party Committee, smiled from ear to ear after reading the report and said to Xiao Lin on the side: "What a Duan Zetao. I knew this guy was not simple. Even the provincial newspaper reported it. Now our Gulin County is also famous.
hehe!".
There were also people who were unhappy. Liu Mingzheng, the county magistrate of Gulin County, looked at the newspaper with a gloomy face and said to himself: "This Duan Zetao is good at sensationalizing. Didn't he just sell some citrus and his tail is raised to the sky!".
Liu Yi, who was recuperating at home, read the report and was so angry that he tore up the newspaper, but he couldn't stay at home anymore. If this continued, his position as the township head would be unsafe in a few days, so he hurriedly
I canceled my leave and went back to work in Shanglin Township.
