Chapter 17 New Year's Eve

  February 14th is the New Year's Eve of 1991, goose feather snow boiled down a day, Yan Shan County silver, a northern scenery.   Looking at the window fluttering down the snowflakes, Tang Yi gently sighed, some indescribable melancholy, probably because of loneliness, right?   "Secretary Tang, you're really here ah, didn't go home for New Year?" The office door was pushed open, and Liu Jiashun walked in with a smiling face.   The cannery thing has long fallen into the dust, and finally Tang Yi did not really press Liu Jiashun in what the party group leader's seat, but in the town party committee discussion, appointed him as the town construction management service station director, do not look at the town government, in fact, it is a small sparrow, all the organs, what the rural economic service station, social security office, land and resources, family planning service station, and so on more than a dozen departments, of course, each hangs the title of leadership, under the leadership of a few people actually do not have a few Of course, all the leaders with the title don't have many soldiers under them.   Liu Jiashun on Tang Yi is a thousand thanks, after the meeting specifically to find Tang Yi thank you, really involved in the township committee meeting, he realized that now the town, Tang Yi can speak louder than Liu Dazhong much, he had thought that in this lopsided meeting of his own certainly by Tang Yi to take advantage of the opportunity to be removed from office, appointed why canned food factory party group leader, but Tang Yi did not do that, but a strong advocate of re-arrangement of work for him, when he would look for Tang Yi to express his gratitude when Tang Yi just lightly When he looked for Tang Yi after the meeting to express his gratitude, Tang Yi just said faintly, "Your ability to work is still there, I have always been on the matter not to the person. Liu Jiaxun made some gratitude, this is not, heard that Tang Yi to stay in the town over the New Year, he rushed to greet Baba.   Tang Yi smiled: "No, just a few days off, not enough to toss back and forth on the road." There was some bitterness in his heart, home? Mother is far away overseas, the old man there how to feel a little rusty, that Xiangshan villa is not like a home, but like a cage.   "How can that be, the New Year's Day you here alone, or not, New Year's Eve dinner to my home to eat, I asked my daughter-in-law to make a few dishes!" Liu Jiashun words have not fallen, the office door was pushed open, a burst of bone-chilling wind blew in, Chen Fangyuan chubby body drilled in, back to close the door hard, rubbing the frozen wooden hands, shaking off the snowflakes on the body, only then smiled to Tang Yi said: "Tang Secretary, I am invited to eat New Year's Eve dinner, Huh? Station Chief Liu is also here?" He said before seeing Liu Jiashun.   Liu Jiashun anxiously said, "Old Chen, we have to have a first come first served, Secretary Tang is my first invitation, to row, you also have to row behind me."   Chen Fang Yuan Yuan face piled up a smile, said: "words are not so right? Listening to my family Ke'er said that you have invited Secretary Tang to eat, I am a big girl on the sedan chair for the first time, you have to let me is not it?"   Tang Yi laughed: "Come on, as if I became the meat and potatoes, today I go to the old Chen's home to eat, Liu stationmaster's meal well after the New Year I invited you back."   Stepped on the snow creaking, outside the cold wind knife general sharp, Chen's not far from the town government, is a neat yard, Chen Fangyuan commissary earned some money in the past few years, the small yard cleaned up like, iron fences, concrete ping before a cluster of pines and cypresses, the house is not the usual farmhouse three rooms, but the front three after the three of the six duplex building bungalow, the living room in the hall of the East Room, decorated very beautiful, light yellow tiles, black sofas, and the house is a very beautiful. The living room is in the east room of the hall, decorated with beautiful, yellowish tiles, black sofa, tea-colored coffee table, yellow combination cabinet, elegant layout, take pictures and say it is the city's living room will not be doubted.   Tang Yi sat down on the soft sofa and laughed, "Old Chen, you're the God of Wealth of Chen Jiatuo, but it's true to its name!"   Chen Fangyuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "In front of Secretary Tang, where is my old Chen's business? Secretary Tang, if you do business, then my old Chen dare to say that you are sure to have a big fortune, just that you have high ambitions and don't care about a small business."   Chen Fangyuan face is sincere admiration: "Secretary Tang, pineapple cans all sold, your ideas are absolutely! You know what? The workers in the cannery are all calling you a benefactor behind your back. You'll have to give me good advice on business matters in the future."   Tang Yi smiled and waved his hand. When it came to business, he was far inferior to Chen Fangyuan, only that he had seen the marketing strategies of the twenty-first century, and he knew that in a few years' time, the first thing to be emphasized was packaging and publicity, so he was more open-minded than Chen Fangyuan, but he didn't really have a business mind.   Chen Ke mom served fruit plate, cigarette plate, and melon candy plate, laughed: "Tang Secretary, you don't and old Chen modest, I or the first time to see my old man so admire a person, you don't look at him all day smiling, in fact, very proud of it, who used to say are not convinced, don't think that not as strong as he is, but these days, but every day to read you Tang Secretary, you really need to be more careful, more You really need to be more attentive and give more guidance to my old Chen."   Chen Ke's mom has been almost five, but half an old woman, charm remains, the corner of the eye, vaguely see the beauty of the year, it seems that Chen Ke is inherited from her genes, fortunately, Chen Ke did not have her dad's half a shadow, Tang Yi heart of nonsense, mouth smile: "Big mom you do not busy, I do not understand the polite, here and at home, as well."   Chen Ke's mom laughed brightly, "That's good, I'm afraid you won't take this as your home."   Tang Yi lit up a Red Tashan, surveyed the layout of the house, and asked, seemingly offhandedly, "Where's Chen Ke? Why don't you see her?"   Speaking of Chen Ke, Chen Ke's mother's face darkened and sighed, "This child, these days can't eat, doesn't she want to participate in this year's examination for tertiary education? A few days ago, the practice test seems to have not done well. She's been crying every day for the past few days."   In fact, Tang Yi came to the Chen family also want to see Chen Ke, a few days before the New Year, Chen Ke asked for a vacation, has not seen her silhouette, for has been accustomed to her this little rash around Tang Yi, these days do not see, but also really feel that the lack of something.   Tang Yi knows that the godmother's university is to know the adoptive father only after reading, as if a few years later, read the adult college, but did not expect her original just work not long ago has begun to prepare to participate in the examination of junior college to college.   "I'll go and take a look at her! Isn't it just a mock exam? And it's affecting work? I'll have to criticize her!" Tang Yi said justly, Chen Fangyuan and Chen Ke mom looked at each other, are dumbfounded, only then remembered that his daughter is his subordinate, especially in the past few days in order to mock exams for the matter of the class did not go on, their own old couple of fast-talking, but broke into trouble.   Accompanied by Chen Ke's mom, came to Chen Ke's boudoir, the room is elegantly decorated, with the unique fragrance of the young girl, Chen Ke lying straight on the bed, head covered with red satin quilt, quilt trembling, seems to be in a small voice sobbing.   Chen Ke's mother was a little worried about Tang Yi whispered: "Tang Secretary, or not, a few days before criticizing? You see that she is ...... afraid that she won't be able to listen to it ...... now."   Tang Yi waved his hand and raised his voice, "Chen Ke! Get up!"   The sobbing in the quilt suddenly stopped, then the red silk was violently lifted up, Chen Ke sat up straight, exquisite little face full of tearstains, see Tang Yi in front of him, he did not hear wrong, Chen Ke a little confused, dumbfounded, "Tang ...... Tang Secretary, you, how did you come? "   The snow-white sweater wrapped tightly around her slim figure, the curve of her breasts beautiful and alluring, Tang Yi's heart skipped a beat, he busily turned his gaze away and coughed, "Xiao Chen, isn't it just a mock exam? Why are you crying? This is the second most important thing, what are you going to do about your mom and dad? What are you going to do about your mom and dad, shedding tears with you on New Year's Eve? Can't you let them have a peaceful year?"   Chen Ke was already aggrieved and used to being arrogant at home, but when she was reprimanded by Tang Yi, tears fell down her face and she gambled, "What's it to you if I cry at home? You, you're too broad-minded! I'm quitting my job, I'm quitting my job! I'm quitting, aren't I?"   Chen Ke's mother was shocked, how did not expect her daughter to dare to talk to Tang Yi like this, in fact, this is also Tang Yi, nothing to do like to tease Chen Ke, over time, of course, Chen Ke is not very afraid of him.   Tang Yi did not expect to really make her anxious, and said that it seems that the college entrance examination is really quite heavy in her heart. Scratching her head, Chen Ke's mom gently pulled him, "Tang, Tang Secretary, let's go out first, and I'll give her a good scolding later. ......"   Tang Yi waved his hand, looking at Chen Ke's miserable appearance, a burst of laughter, reached out and said, "Mock test papers sent down yet? Which subject didn't do well, let me take a look?"   Chen Ke wiped her tears and ignored him. Chen Ke's mother went over to the desk drawer and took out a stack of papers, handing them to Tang Yi, "Would you like to see if this is it?"   Tang Yi flipped through it, it was the language and math simulation questions, the other subjects were fine, math 56?   "56?" Tang Yi couldn't help but giggle, his godmother turned out to be a straw man in her studies, this was a hundred and fifty point question. Chen Ke was so angry that she bit her lip and glared at him, looking like she couldn't wait to bite Tang Yi.   Turning over the math paper, the more Tang Yi looked at it, the more he found it funny. She didn't even seem to understand the principle of a simple function.   "What are you laughing at? As if you know everything and are good at everything!" Chen Ke did not know how, from Tang Yi came in, the tears gradually stopped, as if the heart of the aggression in the top Tang Yi when a brain are spit out, just to see Tang Yi's smile is more and more angry.   Tang Yi laughed: "I do not know much, but? This study I know a little, do you know, I am the top student of the college entrance examination." Tang Yi was talking about his last life.   "Snort, bragging, your party school and the college entrance exam are two different things!" Chen Ke bristled.   "I took the college entrance exam before I went to party school!" Tang Yi laughed and took the math paper and walked over to Chen Ke, pointing to one of the symmetry of the function to find the value of the question, smiled and said, "Let's just say that this question, you simply do not understand the concept of the range of the function to take the value of the function, you are so ......" said took a pen and gestured on the paper to explain for her Chen Ke began to be full of anger, gradually turned to amazement, and finally patted his head: "Ya, why did I not think."   Tang Yi laughed: "Still shooting, the more you shoot the more stupid."   Chen Ke gave him a blank look, then her eyes lit up, but her big eyes turned up, Tang Yi smiled, "I can help you make up your lessons, but your attitude has to change, no bumping into me in the future, and, when no one is around, call me teacher!"   Chen Ke's mom smiled with her face blossoming, "Aiyo Tang Secretary, you are really magnanimous, not only do you not care, but you are also willing to teach her, this can be good, Chen Ke's this university has counted on it, Tang Secretary, you can really be a capable person!"   "Go on, why don't you get up and fry a few small dishes for Secretary Tang?" Chen Ke's mom lovingly reprimanded Chen Ke, and said to Tang Yi smilingly, "This kid can't do anything, but he's good at stir-frying."   Tang Yi smiled and nodded, "What else can I say about my godmother's cooking skills?   Chen Ke smiled and got up, Tang Yi and Chen Ke's mom returned to the living room, Chen Fangyuan heard Secretary Tang want to be Chen Ke's teacher, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "Secretary Tang really cares about his subordinates, worthy of being a model leader."
