Chapter 76: The Chen Family's Scheme

aid: ‘No problem, Secretary Xie, Xiao Zheng should not be on the same flight as us. As long as his time allows, you can chat with him for as long as you like.’” 。"I'm on a late-night flight," said Xi...Chen Hong always spoke directly to Xiao Zheng. She said what she thought. 。As for this point, Xiao Zheng is also aware of it. 。Chen Hong said she "can't accept it," that's what she really thinks. 。Chen Hong had been spoiled and pampered since she was a child, her lifestyle adapted to the life of a "Miss" in a county town. Living with Xiao Zheng's parents who had always lived in the countryside, she would definitely not be able to adapt. 。And Xiao Zheng understood that too. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Chen Hong, my parents and I haven't always lived together. We just lived together for a while." 。The main reason is my father. His current situation isn't suitable for returning to Green Water Village. 。When we make more money in the future, we can buy a house. Then we can move into our new home. 。Chen Hong still disagreed: “Transition, transition, often it just expires.” 。My parents say that you should never live with your in-laws. They say you'll be constantly getting on their nerves and family relationships will suffer. 。Living separately, on the contrary, allows us to remain amicable all the time. 。“Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and tried to find solutions: “How about this, we buy two small houses One for my parents and one for us. Each house is around 50 to 60 square meters. If you prefer a new one, we can buy a new house for us.” 。Chen Hong glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, "I'll ask my parents if they have any better ideas Don't buy the house for now." 。"Well then, but let's try to be quick. I need to settle my parents as soon as possible." 。Xiao Zheng would ask his father about everything regarding Chen Hong, but he was actually quite unhappy about it. 。But Chen Hong's parents' attitude towards him has improved a lot recently, so Xiao Zheng also respects them. 。That night, Chen Hong went back home and told Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin about what had happened at Xiao Zheng's house at the dinner table. 。Upon hearing this, the mother, Sun Wenmin, immediately said: “This won’t do. You absolutely cannot live with Xiao Zheng’s parents, not even for a day.” 。Let alone whether you'll be bullied or forced to do things, just the hygiene and eating habits are not something you could adapt to. 。Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei had always been farmers. Their lifestyle habits were deeply ingrained and they couldn't change them even if they wanted to. 。Living with them is much like living in the countryside. 。Chen Guangming said, "But according to Xiao Rongrong's illness, she cannot go back to Lùshuǐ Village." 。It seems a bit harsh to insist on someone leaving, don't you think It would make us seem cold and unfeeling. 。"

“Light, you are right” 。Xiao Zheng's consideration for his father stems from filial piety, and it is understandable. 。

His parents shouldn't be so unreasonable.

"Sun Wenmin said, 'First, Xiao Rongrong is already sick. It's not appropriate to let her son-in-law live with a sick person. Second, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei have been farmers their whole lives, at most working in the mines. What skills or culture do they have to make a living in the county Are they going to rely on Xiao Zheng to support them for the rest of their lives at this age If that's really the case, won't our daughter have to live a life of frugality forever'"

Chen Guangming nodded upon hearing his wife's well-reasoned analysis. "Wenmin, you make sense." 。"As for Xiao Zheng's second proposal, do you think it's feasible Buying two houses"

Sun Wenmin said: "Buying two houses isn't a good idea either." 。You think about it, the house was originally 120 square meters, just right. Now it's become 60 square meters. You want me to let my daughter live in such a cramped space There's not even room for a sofa! 。And there's that old problem again, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei bought a house in the county town and live there now. Are they still relying on Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong for financial support That just won't work. 。Chen Guangming looked at Sun Wenmin and said, "Should we ask Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei to go back to the countryside It feels a bit inappropriate." 。"Sun Wenmin said: 'It doesn't need to be explicitly stated, as long as they understand the principle behind it, things should work out.'" 。I will go to the hospital tomorrow, buy some fruit, and chat with them by the way. 。Chen Hong had been listening quietly all along. At this moment, she said, "Mom, try to be more tactful. Don't embarrass Xiao Zheng's parents too much." 。"Sun Wenmin glanced at his daughter and said, "Don't worry about this. Your mother knows her limits." 。You should go and see the house with Xiao Zheng again tomorrow, the second-hand house next to the county government office. The decoration is very good and the location is also excellent. Also, I asked someone to inquire about it, and I heard that the family living there is very well off. The head of the Propaganda Department of the County Committee originally lived there, and now he has been transferred to the city government as deputy director of some department. 。Chen Guangming, upon hearing this, immediately said: "Oh, it's him then." 。That young man, I'm not very familiar with him, but I have some impression of him. 。It is said that you will be a leader's secretary in the future. 。"Sun Wenmin said, 'Look, if you really became the mayor or deputy mayor's secretary, you would be soaring to success in the future.'" 。I heard from someone that the feng shui of this house is good, you can buy it. 。Upon hearing this, Chen Hong's original determination to buy a new house also temporarily dissipated. 。If this house truly has such good Feng Shui, it could help Xiao Zheng climb to a higher level. Even if he bought it, it wouldn't be a loss. 。If it feels outdated in the future, as long as Xiao Zheng has money, just buy a new house. 。There's another question, that is how to explain it to Xiao Zheng.

Sun Wenmin gave her daughter advice: "Chen Hong, you just tell Xiao Zheng that buying two sets of 50-60 square meters isn't cost-effective. The houses are too small to live in, it's better to buy this bigger one." 。If Xiao Zheng's parents want to live here, then let them live together. 。Anyway, I definitely have a way to get Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei to go back to the countryside voluntarily. 。。The next morning, Chen Hong called Xiao Zheng and said she had decided to buy the bigger house. If Xiao Zheng's parents were willing to live there together, they could all live together. She thought it wasn't easy being a parent, and when the village environment improved in the future, they could move back then. 。Hearing Chen Hong suddenly changed her mind and became reasonable, Xiao Zheng was very happy and said in the phone: "My dear wife, you are so reasonable!" 。The next step for our town is to advance 'green rural construction.' In a few years, the appearance of the countryside will see a significant improvement. Once the air and water quality are better, my parents definitely won't want to stay in the city anymore; they'll go back home. 。Then, we can still have a world of just the two of us. No, then it's probably going to be a world of three. 。Xiao Zheng envisioned the future to be very beautiful. 。In the afternoon, the two went to see a second-hand house again. Because Chen Hong's attitude towards the house changed, they quickly determined their intention to buy it. 。The intermediary who accompanied us said that she would contact the landlord immediately to see which day was available to sign the contract. Once the payment for the housing fund is made, the transfer can be completed. 。Xiao Zheng let the intermediary handle everything, and both of them were in a good mood. 。Xiao Zheng sent Chen Hong to school. At the door, Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there a female teacher named Tao Fang at your school Do you know her"

"Tao Fang, of course I know her. She's the head of the Chinese department. She graduated and became a teacher at our school just three years ago, and she has already taught senior three classes. Her students' Chinese exam scores are also very good>>> 。Chen Hong said, "By the way, I heard she was transferred away." 。I haven't seen her recently. 。"Why did you suddenly bring her up"

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Do you know where she was transferred to" Chen Hong shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's all at the principal level." 。Xiao Zheng said: "She was transferred to the Party and Government Office of our town." 。Chen Hong was also a little surprised: "Really" 。I hadn't thought of that. 。However, I know her relationship is somewhat complicated, and she's a very capable person. In her everyday speech, she gives off the impression of being "not someone who belongs in this pond." To put it plainly, she's still a woman with ambition. 。Don't get too close to her. 。“Why would I go near her I just found out she’s from your school, that's all.” 。That afternoon, back in town, there was only one day left before the deadline for handing over the Tianhuang Town Implementation Opinions on Further Strengthening Safety Production Work. With no available troops under his command, Xiao Zheng could only work overtime. 。Xiao Zheng once served as the deputy director of the Party and Government Office. The director at the time was Tan Xiaojie, a second-generation official who always just needed to open his mouth. He would never touch on drafting documents, leaving that to Xiao Zheng, while trivial matters were handled by Li Haiyan. As for entertainment and socializing, Tan Xiaojie took care of it all. 。However, this also tempered Xiao Zheng's solid writing skills and ability to handle files quickly, while training Li Haiyan to play the piano well and efficiently handle documents and meetings. 。Unknowingly, it became a wealth of experience in the lives of Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan. 。The

county's "Opinions on the Implementation of Safety Production Work" has no substantial content and doesn't mention concepts like mine closure and ecological restoration. At first glance, it seems the county issued this document simply to respond to the previous mining safety accident, and the town is merely complying with the county's demands. 。But Xiao Zheng didn't think so. In the specific content, he incorporated many ideas of "green rural construction" into it, and then asked Tao Fang, the new female teacher from the Party and Government Office, to proofread it. 。Tao Fang is a Chinese teacher, and she is new to the school. Naturally, she is serious about her work. She carefully reviewed the wording and grammar, even correcting any typos. She also praised: "Xiao, the mayor, I heard that government work is often empty talk, but from this implementation plan, I see very practical measures. If they can be truly carried out, our An County's rural areas might undergo a major transformation, and safety production could take a step forward." 。"Xiao Zheng looked at Tao Fang, feeling that although she was only of average appearance, her mind was definitely capable. He said: "Our work, if we want it to be practical, it can be very practical; if we want it to be unreal, it can also be very unreal." 。"I think it's better to be straightforward," 。Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk too much with Tao Fang, nor did he want her to stay in his office for too long. He said, "Teacher Tao, you've worked hard today, helping to point out so many problems." 。Thank you. 。Tao Fang said, "What's this Mayor Xiao, if you trust me to handle things, you can call me anytime if anything happens in the future." 。Tao Fang's eyes were bright, and she dared to look directly at Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng avoided her gaze and said, "Okay, you said so. Then I won't be polite if anything happens." 。"Tao Fang gave a hearty laugh. "I'm your subordinate, you don't have to be so polite." 。"With that, she stepped out in her high heels, swaying her hips with every step. Her skirt swished rhythmically and energetically." 。Xiao Zheng signed his name on the document, placed it temporarily on the desk, and planned to handle the paperwork tomorrow. 。At this moment, Xiao Zheng's phone rang. He saw that it was Li Haiyan. 。It should be Xiao Shu who asked her to call, about the "Green Rural Construction" issue, there may be feedback now. 。d a bowl of zhajiang knife-shaved noodles at a small noodle shop in town. He added a poached egg and some vegetables. 。But it always feels a little bland. 。Xiao Zheng thought, at this moment, the ma...
