The realization was not yet at the meal, and it was an hour away. However, Wufeng Forest Farm has > treated a central chief like Li Lao, and the highest-level leader he has received in the past is Mayor Liu, which is still unprecedented, how can a mayor have ever been on the mountain before? Therefore, it is normal to be a little excited and prepare in advance.

Li Lao was not hungry, but he was not good at touching people's hearts, so he happily came to the canteen on the first floor, which was also a very old-fashioned people's commune canteen style, and Li Lao liked it very much.

A group of nine people went up the mountain, plus the families of the workers of the forest farm, and sat at three tables. As soon as Li Lao took a seat, a large plate of dishes was served, all of which were large bowls, a bowl of top points, covered with red peppers, which made people have a great appetite at first sight. Only Aspen secretly spoke. Although she is a person who grew up in Daning, after all, she is a beautiful girl, and she is still sensitive to chili peppers.

This thing is refreshing to eat, and if you eat too much, your face is a lump, but it will cost Poplar's life.

I can't help with that, I can't eat the pepper first and then put the meat in her bowl. I had to fill her with a small bowl of soup first, and when it was too spicy, I took a sip.

Poplar smiled at me, like a lady, peaceful.

Speaking of the demeanor of the eldest lady, this one is similar to Fei, and she is a grade higher than He Mengying.

Every time I go to He Meng's place, I am a "master".

Doctor Song sat next to Mr. Li, picking up vegetables.

On it is the five peaks of the big song.

Li Lao didn't know that this wine was produced in his hometown. See the packaging is very expensive. I don't think it's weird.

"Huh. Five peaks of the Great Song. How can there be this wine? Where? ”

I smiled and said, "Elder Li." It is the production place of Wufeng Liquor Company in Xiangyang County. It is the original Xiangyang County Winery Renovation Site. At present, it is the first tax payer in Xiangyang County. ”

That's right. Although Tengfei Company far exceeds Wufeng Liquor in terms of total assets. But when it comes to profits and taxes. But it is still necessary to let Wufeng Liquor take the lead. Guy Wufeng Liquor is a state camp. Not only pay taxes. It is also necessary to solve the profit.

"Oh? Can Xiangyang County still produce such high-end wine? I'll taste it! ”

Dr. Song was a little hesitant.

Li Lao smiled: "It's just a cup." ”

It seems that he still has a lot of respect for this health care doctor.

Doctor Song didn't say much, so he nodded and poured a small cup for Li Lao.

Everyone looked at Li Lao.

"Come, I would like to toast you and thank the comrades of the forest farm for their hospitality!"

"I wish Li Lao good health!"

Everyone raised their glasses in unison.

Li Lao took a sip, and the others, except for the poplars, drank a cup of dry.

"Well, the wine is good, mellow in the mouth, and strong!"

Li Lao exclaimed.

"I'm too light, I don't drink with everyone, you are free!"

Hearing what Li Lao said, the forest farm workers who were originally going to toast also stopped, and they didn't dare to come forward, everyone drank quite modestly, and the atmosphere was a little dull. There are only four people and me, Liang Guoqiang, and the four of them, like a eating competition, one eats faster than the other, and the boss's sea bowl, everyone eats three or four bowls in one go.

After drinking the small glass of wine, Li Lao put down his chopsticks after eating only half a bowl of rice, and looked at a few of us eating with a sigh, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "It's good to be young!" ”

I grinned at Li Lao and said, "Li Lao, during your Long March, if you have such a good meal, it is estimated that everyone can eat seven or eight bowls." ”

Li Lao smiled: "You're beautiful, right?" Still want such a good meal? I can't get enough of wild vegetables. That is, you have caught up with the good years. O prosperous age! ”

I nodded again and again, and I deeply sympathized with Li Lao's evaluation, the most glorious prosperous era in the history of our nation has come.

After eating, Liang Guoqiang wiped his mouth, stood up, looked at Li Lao, and waited for his instructions.

"Hehe, everyone's eaten, right? Walk! ”

Boss Li waved his hand and strode out.

Cao Chang trotted all the way to catch up, and said with a smile: "Li Lao wants to hunt, I'll introduce you to a guide." ”

"Okay, who is it?"

Chief Cao hurriedly waved back, and a sturdy man about forty years old strode forward and bowed slightly to Elder Li.

"Li Lao, this is Cao Sanwang, an employee of our forest farm, a member of the forest ranger, and he is most familiar with the roads in the forest area. The marksmanship is also good, and the lower cover is even better. ”

Seeing that this person was also carrying a 79-type rifle, a long circle of hemp rope was wrapped around his waist, and a three-clawed iron hook was tied to one end of the hemp rope, ** a small knife was pinned to the back, and he was also holding three hunting dogs in his hand, and it was really an old hunter dressed up.

Li Lao nodded appreciatively: "Yes, there is a bad spirit!" ”

Liang Guoqiang looked at Chief Cao, and his eyes revealed sternness. Naturally, that means asking, is this man reliable? He has the heavy responsibility of ensuring the safety of Li Lao, but he does not dare to be sloppy.

Chief Cao nodded again and again, and the current meaning was to tell Liang Guoqiang to rest assured that the person he recommended must be reliable.

"I'll lead the way!"

Cao Sanwang didn't say much, but simply said three words, shook the rope in his hand, and the three hounds rushed forward. Cao Sanwang followed closely behind.

At present, Wang Bochao is following behind Cao Sanwang, and he can be regarded as two pioneers.

He was followed by Lai Lao and Dr. Song, then the driver and secretary, and Leung Kwok-keung was behind the secretary. Bai Yang and I are behind Liang Guoqiang, Xiao Wu and Cao Chang are behind the palace.

The mountain road is narrow, and only such a long snake formation can be placed.

There are four rifles in total, Cao Sanwang's skills are unknown, and the four of our masters and apprentices can be called hard-handled, so there are fierce beasts, which are enough to deal with. What's more, there are three hunting dogs, although they are all earth dogs, their bodies are not stout, and they can also cheer. Cao Changchang was careful, and seeing that Li Lao didn't eat much at noon, he carried a basket with some dry food and drinking water in it.

I also straddled a backpack with dry food and the like, but it was for the aspen.

Don't look at her older than me, but she is a big lady who needs to be taken care of.

It's a cold winter, and it's not suitable for hunting. It is estimated that Li Lao just wants to find a feeling. Who knew that he couldn't go far, Cao Sanwang raised his hand, stopped, and the three hounds also stopped, and their forelimbs fell to the ground, making a "whine" sound.

I looked at Cao Sanwang's fingers, but I saw a brown hare, very fat, eating the roots of an unknown plant a hundred meters ahead, and he didn't notice us.

Liang Guoqiang raised his rifle, loaded it with a bullet, and handed the rifle to Li Lao.

Li Lao smiled, lowered his voice and said, "It's a bit far away, and I don't know if it's okay......"

As he spoke, he took the gun and raised it in a standing position.

Seeing this posture, I secretly put my mouth to Poplar's ear and asked, "Bet no?" ”

A sweet breath went straight into the nostrils, and it almost stuck to the flesh without holding back.

Bai Yang glanced at me and lowered his voice, "What bet?" ”

"To be or not to be hit?"

Aspen narrowed

looked at the ignorant hare, flattened his mouth, and shook his head: "

"Then you can't win the bet?"

"Hmm!"

"Okay, I'll win!"

I'm sure.

"What's the stake?"

"Next time I go to your house, cook for me to eat, I lose, I'll cook it for you. Anyway, if you lose, you will work, and if you win, you will be the master! Don't go to the restaurant! ”

Poplar pursed his lips and smiled, nodding.

As he spoke, the gun rang out, and the hare was killed without the slightest struggle.

"Good marksmanship!"

I cheered loudly.

As soon as Cao Sanwang let go, a hunting dog galloped over, picked up the hare and ran back.

Li Lao smiled and handed the rifle to Guoqiang, a little proud.

Bai said: "Xiaojun, how do you know that you will definitely hit?" ”

I smiled: "You know the posture, a hundred meters, there are not many who dare to shoot in a standing position...... Li Lao Yi must be a sharpshooter! ”

Li Lao smiled and said, "Little guy, you know." During the fourth anti-encirclement campaign, I killed seven enemies with ten bullets, one of which was the deputy battalion commander, and I was still a recruit at that time! The Hanyang-made one used is almost smoothed out! ”

No wonder I was so excited to fight, it was really the tiger who was heroic!

I applauded.

Cao Sanwang wrapped the bloody hare in a piece of plastic film, threw it into the back basket behind his back, and continued to move forward. Then the luck was not so good, and after wandering around for more than an hour, there was not a single shadow of the wild thing.

"Take a break!"

Coming to a relatively wide meadow, Dr. Song suddenly said.

But it turned out that he was already a little out of breath now.

In fact, not only the old, but the secretary and Poplar have long been panting.

So everyone sat down on the grass looking for a stone, and Dr. Song took out a cotton cloth cushion from the satchel he was carrying, put it on the stone for Li Lao, and helped Li Lao to sit down this time.

Poplar and I sat together, took biscuits out of our satchels, and shared them among everyone.

Poplar was really a little tired, took two sips of water with a kettle, and leaned softly on me, Ben Yanei naturally had to straighten up and give her a "solid shoulder", but the righteous gentleman didn't pretend to be a few minutes, so he lowered his voice and said to her: "When I go down the mountain, I'll carry you!" ”

Poplar reached out and grabbed the muscles in my waist and slammed them hard.

Miss Bai has a tendency to be violent, and originally liked to beat chestnuts, but in front of everyone, it was not good to be so "arrogant", so she came up with this "trick". Yanai had to "grit his teeth and resist".

Alas, it turns out that there will be a price to pay.

"Chief, we have to go back after the break, you've overdone your activities today!"

Dr. Song kept a straight face and was businesslike.

You've fired your gun anyway, and you've hit the rabbit, so it's time to go back!

Mr. Li has been engaged in organizational inspection work all the year round, and the organizational discipline is particularly strict, don't look at Dr. Song as just a health care doctor, the level is far from him, but the central government stipulates that he is responsible for the health care of Mr. Li, and in this kind of matter, Mr. Li must obey Dr. Song's arrangement.

"Okay, good, according to you!"

Li Lao said with a smile.

Chief Cao was a little anxious, thinking that Li Da had come all the way to Wufeng Forest Farm to hunt, so he went around in the mountains, and he was so tired that he caught a little hare, which was really unreasonable.

Actually, this is already considered lucky. This is not to hunt, but to climb the mountain. can hit a hare, he is already the "land grandfather" of the forest farm, and he gives Li Lao face very much.

"Sanwang, didn't you get off the trap yesterday? Let's see, what wild things have you covered? ”

"There are still seven or eight miles to go."

Cao Sanwang said in an authentic manner.

"Forget it, let's go back. I come, that is, to scatter my mind, and I don't care if there are many wild things. ”

Seeing that Chief Cao was still about to speak, Li Lao stopped him with a smile.

Sure enough, it's everyone's demeanor.

Liang Guoqiang naturally wouldn't persuade him much, Li Lao returned to Baozhou City early, and the burden on his shoulders was lighter.

I didn't think it was a good idea, but I glanced at the aspen leaning on my shoulder, and I had to swallow back the words that came to my mouth. Even if Li Lao is enduring, Miss Bai can't hold on.

Naturally, I still hope that Li Lao will rest for a while, after all, such a pretty beauty leans on her shoulder, and the taste is still very good, although there is probably a large bruise on her waist, but it is also very worthwhile.

……

After returning from Wufeng Forest Farm, in the following days, Li Lao inspected Baoxi County and Weining County, and everywhere he went, there was a thriving scene. The day before leaving Baozhou, Li Lao summoned Long Tiejun and his father alone at the Baozhou Hotel.

"Comrade Jincai, the work of Baozhou City is still very successful, and it is worthy of recognition."

Li Lao got straight to the point and affirmed his father's work.

Dad secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy to get this comment, and his mouth was humble.

"Comrade Jincai, I'll go back to the capital tomorrow, is there any place where you need my old man's help?"

After talking about the gains and losses of some work in Baozhou City for a while, Li Lao asked.

Dad was a little shocked, when Li Lao said this, he was not only affirming his work, but also appreciating it. Dad couldn't help but glance at Long Tiejun, who nodded slightly to show encouragement.

Li Lao noticed his father's uneasiness and smiled: "Jincai, you don't have to be nervous, as a Baozhou person, I also want to do my best for my hometown." ”

Dad sighed for a while and said: "In this case, Elder Li, then I have a reluctant request, we in Baozhou City, we urgently need to strengthen the theoretical level of party members and cadres, especially the theoretical level of leading cadres, first occupy the commanding heights of opposing peaceful evolution and anti-bourgeois liberalization in theory, and only under the guidance of the correct ideological outlook and world outlook can we better carry out economic construction work......

Li Lao frowned slightly: "Hmm, I know about this matter." ”

……

Shortly after the Spring Festival, my father received an enrollment notice from the Central Party School for a theoretical seminar for cadres at the department and bureau level, and the study period lasted for three months. During the study period, the work of the Baozhou Municipal Party Committee was temporarily presided over by Mayor Shi Rongxuan.

Based on past experience, after the seminar, the position of the participants is usually changed, and it is usually used for half a level. Dad is now at the department level, and he is the secretary of the municipal party committee of the prefecture-level city with the highest gold content in the main hall level. If you are promoted to half a level, there is no doubt that you will be promoted to a deputy department.

Li Lao's inspection of Baozhou City turned out to be such a result, which was really unexpected by many people.

But just when everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, suddenly another unexpected thing happened, which suddenly set off waves.
