At noon on the weekend, Xiang Nuan asked Jiao Jinping to reserve a private room for seven or eight people.

Because it was the weekend, the two children also wanted to go with them. Xiang Nuan thought about it and asked Tang Heping to take them to the lobby to eat western food, and then go back together after they finished eating.

Tang Heping agreed.

She is no longer the boss of Antou, and a deputy mayor cannot be assigned a car. The bus can be used when working, but not normally.

The car I bought before was also bought in the name of Antou.

She has money in hand, so she can buy a car by herself, but at this time, government officials rarely buy cars, and if you buy someone else, you will feel that your money comes from an unknown source.

Now that she has just been transferred, she wants to keep a low profile, so she didn't buy it. The family of four took a taxi to the Yangtze River Hotel.

Most of the people who come here to eat on weekends are family gatherings, and there are quite a few people, especially in the lobby on the first floor, where many tables are filled with young men and women, and it looks like they are dating.

Xiang Nuan told Cheng Mingxu the number of the private room on the phone, so when she arrived, there were already seven or eight people in the private room.

Seeing so many people, Xiang Nuan was surprised.

Everyone stood up immediately, some calling for Deputy Mayor Tao, and some calling for Secretary Tao.

Xiang Nuan shook hands with them one by one: "They are all here, it's rare, I didn't know you were all in the provincial capital, if I knew earlier, I would have looked for you, come, sit down."

After speaking, he looked at the box again, it seemed a bit crowded.

Because Cheng Mingxu said that there were five or six people, she thought that a box for eight people would be enough, but now there are nine with her, so she said: "Let's change to a bigger one, there won't be enough room here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and called the waiter to ask her to change it.

Although she is not the general manager of Antou now, she is still the secretary of Antou.

The waiter immediately told the foreman, and they were immediately changed to the big box opposite.

After the group took their seats again, Cheng Mingxu introduced these future people to Xiang Nuan one by one.

"Deputy Mayor Tao, this guy also took your tractor to take the college entrance examination. His name is Lin Huai. He is currently working in the Finance Bureau. Lin Huai, tell me about your situation yourself."

Lin Huai looked a few years younger than Cheng Mingxu, stood up and said, "Hello, Deputy Mayor Tao, I'm in the Finance Bureau, and I'm a section chief."

Xiang Nuan nodded, "Yes, that's a good unit."

Lin Huai scratched the back of his head and laughed: "Well, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to pass the college entrance examination."

Xiang Nuan smiled: "I just gave you a ride. What you have gained today is the result of your own hard work."

"We are really working hard, but if you don't give us a kick at the door, no matter how hard we work, it will be in vain." Another small man said.

"Old Bai is right." Another person got up and rushed towards Nuan, "Vice Mayor Tao, I belong to Xinghua Commune, my name is Zhang Ping, and my family belongs to the Second Brigade.

Not only us, but even our parents, are very grateful to you. Every time I go back, my mother still talks about you and Secretary Tang, saying that Xinghua Commune would not be where it is today without you and Secretary Tang. "

After speaking, he said to the people sitting here: "You haven't been back for more than ten years, right? Our Xinghua Town has changed a lot compared to before. The gravel roads in the past have now become cement roads. Political and business interests Restaurants, hotels, skating rooms, dance halls, and street lights have been installed in the town, which is no worse than that in the county."

Hearing his description, everyone recalled all kinds of memories when they jumped in the queue, and then began to talk about the difficult years when they jumped in the queue.

Xiang Nuan listened quietly, and the scenes of the Xinghua Commune back then, along with the narration of these people, also flashed in her mind one by one.

She still remembers bragging back then, saying that no one in Xinghua Commune would dare to arrange her anymore, even when calling her by her name, she had to weigh whether to call her by her name directly.

When I said it at the time, I still felt very proud, but now that I think about it, I am quite a second-year student.

These people were nostalgic, Xiang Nuan was reminiscing, and she didn't come back to herself until someone called her.

"Ah...? What?" Xiang Nuan smiled: "I'm sorry, I heard you say that I also remembered something, and my mind was distracted."

"It's all right." Zhang Ping asked: "Secretary Tao... no, Deputy Mayor Tao, I heard that, that, that... you and Secretary Tang... then what, are you married?"

Not many people know about this.

Because Tang Heping stayed in Xinghua Commune for a year and then left, only some old people remembered that his presence in Xinghua Commune was not as strong as that of Xiang Nuan. Those young people knew Tao Xiangnuan, and few people remembered Tang Heping. .

In addition, during the years she was in the Xinghua Commune, she never had a relationship with Tang Heping or even had much contact with her.

So under the reflection of Xiang Nuan's light, there are even fewer people who know him.

Hearing what Zhang Ping said, the people who were talking quietly to each other just now became interested in an instant, and all of them looked at Xiang Nuan with bright eyes.

Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes speechlessly, and scolded with a smile: "...how can a group of elders gossip like this."

"Hey..." Zhang Ping laughed: "I also heard from my mother, who also said that I saw you go back with Secretary Tang a few years ago."

There is nothing undeniable about this.

"Well," Xiang Nuan said, "We lost contact after he was transferred away. Later, I went to study in the city, and I happened to meet him once. I was busy at the time, so I didn't have time to talk about personal relationships. Later, I was transferred to the city. , we got in touch with each other more, and then we became a family."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhang Pingdao: "Actually, when you partnered with Secretary Tang, we thought you were a good match."

Xiang Nuan smiled: "At that time people were so innocent, they didn't dare to go beyond anything, they only had work in their hearts, pure revolutionary comrades.

By the way, I haven't recognized all of you yet, come on, let's continue to introduce myself. "

So the topic was brought back again.

Besides Lin Huai, Lao Bai worked at the Taxation Bureau, Zhang Ping, who spoke, worked at the Planning Bureau, and another named Sun Li, who worked at the Public Security Bureau.

The highest level of these people is Cheng Mingxu, deputy director level, and the others are at the official level.

Except for Cheng Mingxu, five of them are civil servants, and two of them are currently doing business in the provincial capital.

One of them is Fang Zhao, who inherited his father's carpentry skills after failing the college entrance examination and repeating the exam for a year.

Now there is a small store in the Taohua Lane in the city, with his two senior brothers and two apprentices, to take on some custom-made furniture jobs.

Although he is not very rich, he still has a house in the city, and his family also comes to live in the city, so life is already very good.

The other is Jiang Shui, who is also from Xinghua Commune and belongs to the Fourth Brigade. Under the influence of Tao Dazhu, he is currently working as a contract worker in the city. He is a small contractor and the richest one among the people sitting here.

Of course, except Xiang Nuan.

While talking, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

The menu was directly arranged by Xiang Nuan and Jiao Jinping, mainly home-cooked dishes.

They mentioned Tang Heping. Although Tang Heping was downstairs, Xiang Nuan didn't intend to let Tang Heping come up. First, Tang Heping liked this kind of entertainment too much. Second, his job was special. These people Although she was the one who sent her to take the college entrance examination back then, who knows if it has changed over the years?It is better not to contact Tang Heping.
