Chapter 338 [Two People Celebrate the Spring Festival]
Chapter 338 Two people celebrate the Spring Festival (two more)
New Year's Eve.
On the New Year's Eve, in the family yard of the county party committee, several children wore down jackets and ran to the yard to set off firecrackers in the morning. Xiong Zhiyong's son Xiaohua was also there. There were some bright and silent fireworks. Dong Xuebin was lying on the window on the third floor of his house, watching while smoking a cigarette leisurely. The children had a great time, thumping, crackling, laughing and laughing constantly, which did not drive the atmosphere of the whole family home. It was as serious and dignified as usual, and there was a festive joy.
It seems that everyone likes New Year's Eve. Dong Xuebin also liked it. Looking at his watch, he called the village.
On the other end, his uncle picked it up, "...Hello, Xiaobin? Happy Chinese New Year."
"Happy New Year too." Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Is my mother there?"
"Xiaoping and the others are making dumplings, maybe they can't get their hands on it, wait for me to call her?"
"No, I'm just saying, I may not be going back to my hometown for Chinese New Year today, there is something to do here, I'll go back tomorrow on the first day of the new year, I'm sorry, help my grandma, aunt, uncle, aunt and two Auntie they bring a good one." Dong Xuebin put out the cigarette butt.
"Okay, you're busy with your work, anyway, tomorrow is the New Year." Uncle knows that Xiaobin is not what he used to be now, and he is also the leader of the county. Although the government has a long holiday, when the leader's New Year's Day is comparable to the New Year's Day Still busy, giving gifts, receiving gifts, building relationships, and making friends are all things to do during the New Year, not to mention that Xiaobin has just taken up the post of Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, and all aspects of relationships have to be handled.
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin put on his coat and drove out the door.
A while ago, I didn't take care of the preparations. The affairs of Big Sister Yu, the move, and the party were all piled up together, so I had to prepare well today. He first drove to a nearby cigarette hotel, which was now closed. Helpless, Dong Xuebin had to go to a city on the commercial street, and moved a box of Maotai liquor and a box of Zhonghua cigarettes inside. After paying the bill, he asked someone to move the things. He got into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, and then went to the commercial street to buy some cosmetics and the like. These are not for him to use, but for the leaders.
In the thirtieth year and the first day of the new year, the organs generally pay attention to the New Year's greetings by phone and text messages.
When I was in the second, third, and fourth days of junior high school, I would come to my house to pay New Year's greetings.
The bell rang, the phone rang.
"Director Dong, Happy New Year." It was Liu Dahai, who was also the first to greet Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin took the mobile phone and said with a smile: "Thank you, and I wish you a happy family and rise step by step."
"Hehe, let me borrow your auspicious words..."
Then, many people called Dong Xuebin to say New Year's greetings.
Dong Xuebin was naturally not idle. After buying things and driving home, he started to check the Internet and downloaded some New Year's messages. For some colleagues who needed text messages, he found some different greetings one by one. , Some other leaders, texting New Year's greetings is disrespectful, and they must call directly, such as Mr. Xie, such as Xie Huilan's parents, such as Huang Ligengyu and others, Dong Xuebin all called one by one to pay New Year's greetings.
Who says being a leader is easy?
Answering the phone, making phone calls, Dong Xuebin has been busy all afternoon.
At six o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Dong Xuebin dialed Xie Huilan's number. She has no relatives or friends here. She will definitely be alone during the New Year. Dong Xuebin had planned to spend the Spring Festival with her, so she didn't Go home for New Years. However, no one answered the phone after a while. Dong Xuebin couldn't help but glanced at the building outside the window, and had to dial the number of her secretary, Hu Silian.
"Hey, Sister Hu, I'm Dong Xuebin."
"I don't know your number yet? Is there anything?" Secretary Hu was a little strange, because the two of them had just paid New Year's greetings by phone.
Dong Xuebin said, "Is Magistrate Xie at home? Why is no one answering the phone?"
"Oh, the county magistrate went to the county Spring Festival party today."
"...Hey, I remember that the party isn't tomorrow?"
"It was broadcast on the first day of the new year, but the party will not be broadcast live this year, so it was recorded in advance. I'm also waiting outside the venue now. It will probably end at an hour."
"That's it, yes, thank you Sister Hu."
"Hehe, look at you being polite."
Hu Silian is also the deputy director of the county government office. Although she is not as good as Dong Xuebin in terms of rank and position, her status as the secretary of the county magistrate is very special, so Dong Xuebin is still very polite to her even if she is promoted. Like Xie Huilan's driver, Lao Xing, although he has no rank, even Yao Yi, director of the county government office, will smile and say hello politely when he sees him. It's the same reason.
After hanging up the line, Dong Xuebin thought about it for a while, then immediately ran to the kitchen, tossed through the vegetables and fruits sent to him by the people, and finally found a bundle of leeks, and then took a box of minced meat and a box of Maotai, He walked downstairs quickly, looked around sneakily at the door, walked to another building next to him, took the elevator up, looked around, and only opened the door of Xie Huilan's house with the key after seeing no one.
An hour has passed.
Two hours have passed.
Suddenly, there was a clatter of keys, and the door opened.
After closing the door, Xie Huilan, who came in from the outside, bent over her slippers with a tired look on her face. Suddenly, she realized that there were more men's shoes on the shoe shelf, so she couldn't help but looked up and smiled, "Hehe, why are you here? ?" He continued to take off his shoes and put on a pair of cotton slippers.
Dong Xuebin, who was in the room, stood up, "It's so boring for you to be in your thirties alone. I'll accompany you."
"I'm fine, isn't your hometown in Huitian Township?" Xie Huilan held her shoes on the shelf gracefully, and the movement of putting them on the shelf was also very graceful, "Can you not go back?"
"It's okay, I called."
"...you have a heart, thank you."
"I've said it earlier, and we have to say thank you."
With a smile in the corner of Xie Huilan's eyes, she looked at him, "I don't know what to say, in fact, I'm very happy that you came to accompany me, hehe, I was still thinking on the way, it's a big New Year, I'll do it alone at night. What to order? Watching the Spring Festival Gala alone is a bit boring, right? Hehe, you, since we're here, let's get something to eat, um, I knew I'd come back with some frozen dumplings."
Dong Xuebin pointed to the kitchen, "I've finished wrapping the dumplings, you can put them in the pot when you're hungry."
"...all packed?"
"Just finished wrapping, stuffed with chives."
"Our Xiao Dong's dumplings, you have to have a good taste, hehe..." Xie Huilan glanced sideways at the kitchen and said with a smile: "But every time I ask you to prepare meals for me, why do I feel so inappropriate? Well, I will cook and make two appetizers myself, hehe, don't look that way, although I'm not very good at cooking, it's okay to mix cold dishes, you can't be busy alone, right?"
The phrase "our little Dong" made Dong Xuebin blushed, "Then I'll help you."
"No." Xie Huilan smiled and rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen. "I've been tired for a long time. You can watch TV and take a break. By the way, the Spring Festival Gala is about to begin. Check out CCTV."
"That's fine, just mix in a cucumber, don't make too much."
"Well, I'll take a look at it, don't worry about it."
Dong Xuebin knows that Xie Huilan is not that kind of gentle and gentle character at all, but these days, her attitude towards herself has obviously changed a little, which makes Dong Xuebin feel a little warm. For the first time after the fallout, Dong Xuebin held Sister Xie's hand and kissed Sister Xie's mouth before, but with the conflict over Aunt Xuan's affair, it disappeared. Dong Xuebin saw hope, maybe he could pull her little hand again after a few months.
Twenty minutes later, the dumplings were cooked and the cold dishes were mixed.
Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan watched the Spring Festival Gala with a smile while drinking and eating.
Most people in the north have the habit of watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as each year. Dong Xuebin's favorite sketches and cross talk are getting worse and worse. Fortunately, this year is not bad, and a few sketches are justified. , remarkable.
Xie Huilan looked at it with relish, "Xiao Bin, I saw your magic trick yesterday, it's fine to go to the Spring Festival Gala."
"That's it." Dong Xuebin was not humble when the two of them were there, "Uh, but I am a state cadre running up there, wouldn't it affect me?"
"Hehe, I just said that, are you serious?"
Dong Xuebin also laughed and took a sip of Maotai, "By the way, how do the dumplings taste?"
Xie Huilan looked at him, squinted and smiled: "Can our Xiaobin's craft be bad? It's delicious, how many have I eaten? Twenty-five? Thirty?"
"Then eat a few more, and there's still no pot left."
"No, it's time to eat." Looking at the watch, Xie Huilan smiled: "There are still two hours before the bell rings, so let's just watch TV like this? Then this year has been too poor. , isn't it?" Seeing him nodding, Xie Huilan took out a napkin and smeared the corner of her mouth, "I'm full, why don't we play poker? Just playing poker is boring, um, whoever loses gets a glass of wine? Okay. Create a god?"
Dong Xuebin quickly waved his hand, "I don't drink anymore, I can't drink anymore."
Dong Xuebin had lingering fears about his two drunken gaffes, and he didn't want to be embarrassed.
Xie Huilan smiled, "Then what are you saying if you lose?"
Dong Xuebin didn't have a brain, and then Jiujin joked: "Anyway, your heating is hot, you lost your clothes, right?" After that, I regretted it a little, sweat, what am I thinking about me!
Who knew it was a joke, but Xie Huilan glanced at him with a smile, "You're so rude to me, hehe, okay, who made me happy today, um, then take off your clothes if you lose." Under Dong Xuebin's stunned eyes, he stood up, "I didn't wear much when I went out today. I'll go back to the house and wear a few pieces first. It's not a foul, right?"
"No offense, no offense." Dong Xuebin was excited.
