Chapter 2178 As in the past
Chapter 2178 Just as before (quickly ask for monthly tickets)
Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou were ashamed of amnesty, and they couldn't help but get off the car quickly and jogged all the way to Xia Xiang.
"Governor Xia, what you see today is that I and Ai Zhou are not considering it. Please criticize me."
Xia Xiang waved his hand: "Okay, don't say anything useless. Since we are all here, let's go home together."
"Okay, okay." Wang Duanjie and Wu Ai Zhou were overjoyed.
Xia Xiang said again: "Accommodating to the countryside is a custom. From now on, I am not a governor. I am just an ordinary person who goes home to visit relatives. How to arrange it depends on the family, and the old man has the final say."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xia has the final say." Wang Duanjie looked at Xia Tiancheng with an urgent look.
A sentence that Xia thought about today made Xia Tiancheng, who has been called Lao Xia or Lao Xia all his life, enjoyed the title of "old man" that only people with a certain status have for the first time. Xia Tiancheng smiled happily and calmly: "Secretary Wang and Mayor Wu are my parents' officials. I will listen to whatever the parents' officials say."
In the past few years, the secretary and mayor have changed a lot. When each secretary and mayor took office, they would visit Xia Tiancheng at the beginning of their term. Although Xia Tiancheng was simple and unpretentious, he had seen many secretary and mayors. In his indifference, he also had a calmness that ordinary people could not achieve.
Xia Tiancheng waved his hand: "Go home first. Since Secretary Wang and Mayor Wu are here, how can you sit at home if you don't have a seat?"
At this time, the entire community was sensational, and almost half of the residents in the community walked out of their homes to see the style of Governor Xia. Although the villagers have known Xia Xiang for decades, in their minds, County Mayor Xia, District Mayor Xia, Secretary Xia and Governor Xia are not the same person. They all want to see what is the difference between Xia Xiang, who served as Governor and Xia Xiang when he was the mayor before.
What disappointed and relieved the villagers was that Xia Xiang was still as handsome as Xia Xiang, and her style remained the same back then. She did not increase her official position, nor did she gain a little weight, nor did she have a big belly and a bald head, a friendly smile, and approachable attitude. Just like back then, she was the boss of Xia Tian’s family in the eyes of the villagers.
Many people muttered in their hearts that the governor could be like this.
Xia Xiang shook hands with the villagers one by one, greeted all the enthusiastic greetings, and responded one by one. Without a trace of the governor's airs, he was as ordinary as Xia Tian's eldest son, who regarded neighbors as relatives.
The villagers who were rushing like a tide made Xia Xiang feel the enthusiasm and sincerity that came to his face. They were the cutest people, without hypocrisy and prejudice, nor desires or conspiracies, and just wanted to say hello and shake hands with him.
Xia Xiang was in a very comfortable and relaxed mood. After being in the officialdom for a long time, family, friendship and homesickness seemed to be far away and unfamiliar. Now he put aside all his affairs and went home to visit relatives wholeheartedly, reunite with his family, and get close to his fellow villagers. He felt the long-lost touch and happiness.
This kind of happiness is stronger than the happiness of promotion and more lasting than the excitement of defeating the opponent.
Xia Xiang walked around the villagers for half an hour before entering the house. He deliberately slowed down because he knew that perhaps from now on, he would go home and shake hands and talk with the villagers and have a close opportunity, and would never have any more.
When people are in the officialdom, there are always some things that need to be abandoned. Since Xia Xiang has chosen a wider sky, some important or unimportant things in life must give way to the big plan and the blueprint in their minds.
But Cao Shuyan was as gentle as a woman next door. She greeted Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou with grace and whispered to Zhang Lan, and then sat in the inner room with Xu Ning, joking about some topics between sister-in-law, which was not as proud as the governor's wife.
In ancient times, Cao Shuyan must have been treated by Mrs. Gao Ming!
Xia An specially rushed back to Dancheng from the charter - he was on duty, but when he learned that Xia wanted to go home, he immediately asked the municipal party committee for leave to return - he has now faced the promotion in the career and his destined future. After years of hard work in the officialdom, Xia An finally felt relieved and gained weight, gained a little weight, and his mood became much broader, and he became more open-minded in many things.
He knew that his career would inevitably make way for Xia Xiang's bright road, but he was very pleased, without any complaints. He was tired of the intrigues in the officialdom and believed that he was not a good job. In the past ten years of officialdom, he had evaluated himself as "no merits and no mistakes, no corruption, and no great achievements." Fortunately, he did not cause major losses to the country due to mistakes.
In fact, Xia An evaluated himself too modestly compared to Xia Xiang. Based on what he did and according to the current officials' standards, he was already a rare good official. He gave way to Xia Xiang's future, which was actually a loss to the country. At least if he was in power, he could not let a corrupt official take the opportunity to sit in his position and harm one side.
Xia An used to not believe that Xia Xiang would be the candidate for the reserve force. He always felt that if his brother would be the highest leader of the country one day, it felt very unreal. However, as time went on and Xia Xiang served as the governor at the age of 36, Xia An had no political mind and clearly realized that the Xia family was finally about to produce a great man.
Yes, for the first time he used the title of great man to his own brother!
Regarding Xia Xiang's return home on National Day, Xia An saw that Xia An grew up more than Xia Tian. He knew that the reason why Xia Xiang led the whole family back and stayed for two days was because after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xia Xiang might have accelerated his pace of progress, and he might never have a few days of leisure time to reunite with his family.
Xia An cherishes the two days he spent with Xia Xiang very much.
The whole family gathered together. Seeing the lunch time, Wang Duanjie carefully expressed his request to Xia think of the banquet at Dancheng Hotel. Xia Xiang didn't say anything. Xia Tiancheng pondered for a while and agreed to Xia Xiang: "Secretary Wang's affection is hard to refuse, so it's not good not to go."
If it were before, Xia Xiang might have hesitated for a moment, but today he said that he would do it. Since he had said before that he would listen to Xia Tiancheng's arrangement, he said: "Okay, that's it."
Wang Duanjie was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way. A group of four or five cars drove to the Dancheng Hotel in a mighty manner.
When he arrived at the Dancheng Hotel, Wang Duanjie observed his face and secretly paid attention to Xia Xiang's face. Seeing Xia Xiang's eyes falling on the dishes at the banquet, his eyes flashed, and he was not unhappy or dissatisfied. His heart finally came to fruition.
Wang Duanjie guessed correctly. Xia Xiang saw that the food arranged by Wang Duanjie was affordable and not wasted. Finally, he became more fond of Wang Duanjie, which affirmed Wang Duanjie's character.
After sitting down, when the banquet was about to start, Xia Xiang's phone rang unexpectedly.
As soon as he saw the call, Xia Xiang suddenly had a strong premonition that his trip to visit relatives in a single city would not be able to calm down.
ps: I'm eager to recommend votes, there are too few recommendation votes, brothers!
