Chapter One Thirty-seven: Who Says An Inch of Grass Will Reward Three Chunhui (1)
On New Year's Eve, it was just dawn, and Chen Yangmeiye had already gotten up and washed up. He simply packed up the few pieces of clothes he had changed with him and tidied up a small bag. He carefully checked the room and saw that there was nothing missing, so he carried the small bag and went downstairs easily.
But when he had just turned the corner of the stairs on the first floor, his relaxed mood disappeared immediately. Zhou Chengde, Luo Wenting, Cheng Xuguo, Zhang Liansheng, Wan Quanshun, Luo Wenda, Fan Lizhi even had the hotel owner Liu Yishou, and a few people who seemed familiar but could not call their names were in groups of three, five, standing or squatting, guarding the hall on the first floor. Looking at the cigarette butts underground, it was obvious that these people had arrived for a while.
Seeing so many people huddled in the hall, Chen Yangmei couldn't help but frown, Wow! The people came in very neatly! Basically, all his direct descendants in Qingshan Town were present. As for those who couldn't name many people, Chen Yangmei remembered that they seemed to be the leaders of some marginal departments in the town, because they had only met each other once, and Chen Yangmei really couldn't remember their names for a while.
Chen Yangmei decided to go home for the New Year early, so this matter was not a secret. He didn't want these people to come and see him off, so he got up early in the morning, but he still underestimated the determination of these people.
At this time, these people also saw Chen Yangmei who was slowly walking down the stairs. They hurriedly threw away the cigarettes in their hands, rushed forward, and greeted him with a smile, "Secretary Chen, you are old" and "Hello Secretary Chen!"!
Although Chen Yangmei doesn't like the way she welcomes and sends her off, this is exactly
Part of the officialdom is that even though they know that these people are coming for the "black hat" on his head, everyone has their own opinions. However, if they are in a different place, it is also impossible to avoid the commonplace if they are in a different place. This is a human nature. If you can avoid such things, you can avoid them. Since you cannot avoid them, there is no need to be pretentious. Especially in this group, there are many cadres he is optimistic about. If they really don't come this time, Chen Yangmei might have some thoughts in his heart. People are actually so strange!
Chen Yangmei smiled at everyone and nodded, took out the cigarettes from her pockets and scattered them one by one. Zhang Liansheng stepped forward and lit them diligently for him. Chen Yangmei said slowly, "Why, are you all here to greet me?"
"Yes, I wish Secretary Chen a happy New Year and a happy family!"
"I wish Secretary Chen a surplus every year and a step-by-step promotion!"
"I wish Secretary Chen happiness and all the best!" Everyone naturally agreed and spoke auspicious words of greetings to New Year!
"Okay!" Chen Yangmei smiled and nodded repeatedly. After almost everyone finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and said, "Okay, I have received all my blessings. At the same time, I wish you all a happy New Year and a happy family." Everyone also bowed their hands and said, "Thank you Secretary Chen" in the same way as Chen Yangmei!
"Okay, I've been greeted this year, and I've received everyone's blessings. It's almost time for me to leave. Anyway, thank you for getting up so early to see me. Thank you everyone. Today is New Year's Eve, let's go back to your house and find your mother."
Chen Yangmei's words made everyone laugh, and he thought to himself that Secretary Chen was not as serious as they thought! But after laughing, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one wanted to get up and leave first. They naturally came with the same purpose, but no one expected that there would be so many people here, and they didn't know how to send out the things they took.
Chen Yangmei looked at the awkward look of these people, and burst into laughter and said, "Since you still want to chat for a while, I can't accompany you anymore. I'll go first. There is still a long way to go home, which is not comparable to you!" As Chen Yangmei said that, he was about to leave.
Everyone had no choice but to look at Zhou Chengde, who had the highest position here and the closest relationship with Shen Yangmei. Zhou Chengde naturally understood what everyone was thinking. There was no way. Who made him closest to Shen Yangmei? Under the pressure of everyone's eyes, he could only pluck up the courage and said, "Secretary Chen, please stay a little. That's right... Everyone knows that you are going home for the New Year, so they rushed over to see you off. Of course, it's not easy to come to the door empty-handed, so they brought some small gifts at will. They are not expensive, but just some specialties in their hometown. They are all the wishes of everyone. Do you think you are..."
"Well! That's it, okay, everyone should take out the things!" Chen Yangmei said with a smile.
Obviously, Chen Yangmei's words were a bit unexpected. Everyone thought that Chen Yangmei would refuse sternly. After all, judging from what Chen Yangmei did during his time in office, he was definitely not an easy person to deal with. No one expected that things would go so smoothly today. Among them, there were those who were secretly happy, those who sarcastically laughed, and those who were stunned and disappointed, but no matter what they were thinking, everyone took out the gifts they had just put under the stairs and behind the gate and held them in their hands.
Back in front of Chen Yangmei, these people looked at each other's things in their hands. When they saw that the bag smaller than the one they carried, they looked contented and secretly complained that they could take it out. When they saw that the bag slightly larger than the one they held, they cursed shamelessly in their hearts.
Among them, the restaurant owner Liu Yi's hand holds the most complicated things. He is carrying a few dried pheasants and hares, and half a piece of bacon, and a woven bag behind him. He is so bulging that he can't tell what he is putting. But I think it's probably some mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains. Everyone looked at Liu Yishou with disdainful eyes, thinking that you can take such things, do you think this is an ordinary visit to relatives and friends? If you are not in the market, you are not in the market. You, the owner of a small rural shop, said that you came here to join in the fun!
Chen Yangmei smiled and looked at the things in everyone's hands. Although they were all wrapped in thick newspapers or calendars, they looked bulging and took a lot of them, especially those cadres who had not yet remembered their names. Obviously, they had not yet figured out Chen Yangmei's temperament. Although they didn't mention much, they did something to cover up. Maotai liquor, Chinese cigarettes, and I don't know where these things were brought from, are they real or fake?
"Secretary Chen, give me the car keys and I'll drive the car over to you. So many things are still put directly in the trunk." Fan Lizhi looked at Chen Yangmei and said.
"No need, no need!" Chen Yangmeiruo swept his eyes over these people with deep meaning, then laughed "hehe" and said while smiling: "Okay, I have accepted all your things. It's not easy for you to come here, so I'll give you a gift too! I'll give you all the things you brought back. If anyone doesn't accept my things, he will look down on me!"
Chen Yang's eyebrows suddenly made everyone present stunned. This is...what is this? Secretary Chen, aren't you cheating on it?
"Secretary Chen, this is not suitable! This is all the wishes of everyone, and not any valuable things." As he said, Zhou Chengde glanced at the people who were holding Maotai China. This sentence was a bit unconfident. "Secretary Chen, if you just go home empty-handed and let others know, you won't laugh at our Qingshan Town cadres who don't understand the rules, this will never work."
Zhou Chengde's words attracted everyone's consent. Zhang Liansheng even thornedly peeled off the packaging, showed the gift in his hand, and pointed at: "Secretary Chen, look, I brought some supplements to the elderly in your family. This thing is not expensive, it is the wild ginseng dug out of the mountains. This was sent to me by my brother-in-law a few days ago. I didn't need it at all at a young age. I left a portion for my parents. You have to take this portion back no matter what. It is very beneficial to your body to make wine and tea. It is not a rare thing. You have to accept it no matter what, right?"
Luo Wenda also said anxiously: "If you want to say that, you should have accepted what I brought. I brought you a few boxes of liquor from our winery. This is the thing produced by our winery. If you take it back to visit relatives and friends, you can also take a few bottles of it for advertising to our winery. Do you think this is the reason?"
With Zhang Liansheng and Luo Wenda in front, the people below naturally followed suit. Immediately, many people tore open the newspapers outside the gifts in their hands, pointing at the things they brought, racking their brains to fabricate the reason that Chen Yangmei should accept his gifts. The scene was filled with excitement, and a group of people recommended the things they brought to Chen Yangmei. Only those few people with a few faces subconsciously shrank back and thought that they were really confused. They didn't know Chen Yangmei's preferences and just carried the things to the door. What's this empiricism that killed people?
Chen Yangmei had no choice but to wave his hand and signal everyone to be quiet. Then he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't yell, let others see what they look like. Lao Zhang, you are old here, so you say you are joining in the fun. I will never accept the things you bring!"
Hearing Chen Yangmei's tone was decisive, everyone had no sound for a moment. Luo Wenting smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, I don't think so. If you take some specialties from our mountain, you will bring them back, which means the wishes of everyone present. As for other things, let them take them back, how do you take them back? Is that okay?"
Everyone also knew in their hearts that it was impossible to let Chen Yangmei accept their things today. Instead of doing this, it would be better to settle for the second best. Luo Wenting said it was reasonable and nodded in agreement.
