Because Du Chunhua wanted to invite Zhou Tianhao to dinner, Kong Youquan also made a decision to postpone his return home for one day. Although he said that he might leave here soon, no matter what, Du Chunhua was also his benefactor. In the officialdom, he was concerned about connections. However, Zhou Tianhao disagreed and asked Kong Youquan to go home. There was not much time to go home in a year. Besides, Du Chunhua invited himself to dinner, but did not invite others, and also thought that the two of them would gather alone. Kong Youquan wanted to pay New Year's greetings to Du Chunhua, so he also needed to go alone. They went to dinner together, but many things were hard to say. After Kong Youquan considered it, he thought it made sense, and he was afraid that he would think he would leave here, so it didn't matter. However, Kong Youquan still said that he came back on the second day of the first lunar month, mainly because Bing Qian was a child at home, and there was not much meaning. The Spring Festival in the county town cannot be compared with big cities. There are basically no entertainment activities, and the children can't stay.

Early in the first day of the lunar month, Kong Youquan drove an off-road vehicle and took Zhou Tianjie and Kong Weikun away. Before leaving, Zhou Tianjie repeatedly said that he would come back a day later and accompany Xiang Lin.

When Zhou Tianhao went home this time, time was very tight, and New Year's greetings were indispensable. Relatives must go to their homes. Moreover, after this Spring Festival, their parents are likely to go to Jianghan City. There is not necessarily a lot of time to come back. The Spring Festival must be spent in Jianghan City, so this time, we have to go to their relatives' homes to greet New Year's greetings.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Du Chunhua called again, saying that it was a lunch banquet for Zhou Tianhao, and the location was arranged in the hotel. During the Spring Festival, other restaurants would not open. The hotel also received notice in advance and prepared a table.

Jianghan City has already made reservations for the Spring Festival New Year’s Eve dinner. Many families do not want to cook, so they booked banquets in hotels, and all of them had a New Year’s Eve dinner in hotels. However, in the small county town of my hometown, such business has not yet been launched. Everyone is used to having a New Year’s Eve dinner at home during the Spring Festival. Zhou Tianhao also knew that in a few years, the same would be true in my hometown. No one could stop the market economy from storing it.

Of course, the whole family went to eat.

The county town is not big, Zhou Tianhao and Xiang Lin, with Bingqian, walked slowly to the hotel.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a young man was waiting. Seeing Zhou Tianhao coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself, saying that he was Mayor Du's secretary and was waiting for Director Zhou here.

When entering the private room, Zhou Tianhao was a little stunned. Except for Du Chunhua, the county party secretary and county magistrate of his hometown, including the Organization Minister, were present. Du Chunhua first shook hands with Zhou Tianhao, followed by the county party secretary and county magistrate, the Organization Minister and others.

Before Zhou Tianhao could speak, everyone took out the red envelope and handed it to Bingqian.

Bingqian looked at Zhou Tianhao and saw that his father nodded, so she was not polite. She said thank you in her mouth and took the red envelope with a smile. Everyone praised her. She said that the child was so cute.

Du Chunhua was very generous and first made a statement to Xiang Lin, saying that Zhou Tianhao is the pride of his hometown and that he must drink well after he comes back. Don’t complain. Xiang Lin is also aware of such an occasion. It is impossible not to drink alcohol, and it is unlikely to drink less, so he didn’t say anything.

There was a bottle of Moutai in front of everyone.

The atmosphere of the meal was very warm, but when everyone was chatting and talking, the center point was Du Chunhua. After all, Zhou Tianhao worked in other provinces, and if it were not for Du Chunhua's face, the county party secretary and county magistrate would not have participated. Zhou Tianhao also fully understood this. When drinking, he took the initiative to point his finger at Du Chunhua.

Du Chunhua was in a good mood and refused everyone. Zhou Tianhao also knew that Du Chunhua was very good at drinking.

After each person finished drinking a bottle of Moutai, Du Chunhua waved and asked the waiter to bring a bottle of Moutai and toast Zhou Tianhao on his own initiative. At this moment, everyone present toasted Zhou Tianhao. Fortunately, the wine glass in the hotel was not very big. Zhou Tianhao was in a relaxed mood and did not feel drunk. He was a little surprised. After drinking so much wine, he didn't feel drunk.

Two hours later, the banquet ended. In fact, no one ate much food. During the Spring Festival, we couldn’t eat much food. In addition, our daily life has improved, and no one is looking forward to improving our lives during the Spring Festival.

After the meal, all the county leaders left, and Du Chunhua's home had already moved to the city. He was the old leader here, and he was very familiar with everyone and didn't need too much politeness.

Du Chunhua suggested that Zhou Tianhao and Zhou Tianhao go to the street to take a walk. On the first day of the first lunar month, there were very few people on the street. Many cadres and staff in the county town went home for the New Year. Many people who work in county-level units actually live in the countryside. In recent years, it has become inevitable that your village will surround the city. There are not many people in the county town who are born and raised to work.

"Director Zhou, I still have to thank you very much."

At the dinner table, Du Chunhua didn't mention this matter at all. I believe no one in the county town really knew about Du Chunhua's relationship, and wouldn't have thought that Du Chunhua's promotion actually had a close relationship with Zhou Tianhao, and Zhou Tianhao wouldn't even mention it. This was Du Chunhua's ability.

"Mayor Du, you are polite. I don't have that much ability. This is the result of your own efforts."

"If you don't say this, just remember it in your heart. If you are working in another place, the county is preparing to set up a address book this year. It is mainly to see who are working in another place. It needs to have a harmonious relationship. This is a small place. The county leaders have reported this matter. I think it is very necessary. This relationship must be established. At that time, the county may hold a ceremony. In addition, the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the county No. 1 Middle School, I also need to celebrate it. I don't know if you have time at that time. If you have time, I still hope you can participate. I know that your work is very busy."

"Mayor Du has arranged it. I will definitely take time to participate. No. 1 Middle School is my alma mater. I have to come back to see Daqing for 60 years."

The two walked and chatted, and gradually, Du Chunhua began to talk about his own feelings.

"Director Zhou, I can't compare with you. I have always worked at the grassroots level. From the township to the county, from the county to the city, I am used to doing things according to the requirements above. If you want to do this, in the township and the county, the problem is not very big, but when you arrive in the city, the situation is different. The above policies and requirements are basically principled. When I first came to work in the city, I was still a little anxious. I led the team out for inspection and study several times, and even thought about going to Chunshan City again. I was afraid of causing trouble for you, so I didn't go. I had already had trouble once. I was embarrassed to always go, so I said that this deputy position is different in the city and the county."

Zhou Tianhao was moved. Du Chunhua said these feelings in front of him, which was not casual. This may be to impart his own understanding. I am afraid Du Chunhua also believes that Zhou Tianhao will not have to work in the city for very long.

"It goes without saying that in the village, it's just about doing things according to the requirements of the superiors. Here, in the village, there is basically no possibility of doing something big, mainly because there is no funds and you can't do things. The county is a finance for food, and it's impossible to have a lot of money to do big construction. It's better in the county. Even the deputy county magistrate in charge has little capital in his hand. If he is allocated, he has some meaning of sprinkling pepper. Without money, it's impossible to do anything well."

"Working in the city, it feels completely different. The management is bigger. If you are responsible and always think about the achievements you are in charge, you need to calm down and do things solidly. Not only according to the unified requirements above, but also constantly think about it, and carry out work creatively based on local actual conditions."

"I have been the mayor for more than a year. I have basically no time to rest. Once I am responsible for the full work, the pressure is very high. Enterprise restructuring is underway, and more and more laid-off workers are going on. We have to create jobs. The jobs for employment are closely related to local economic development. I have tried many methods and finally found that I can only take the path of attracting investment. Only when the company enters can the employment problem be truly solved."

"Now, I often think about why the South can attract so many companies. Apart from their transportation and location advantages, are there any other aspects? If we don't have such an advantage here, will we not develop? This is definitely not possible. The job of attracting investment is very difficult. I am anxious every day..."

When Zhou Tianhao heard Du Chunhua say this, he secretly admired him. No matter how good Du Chunhua's work performance was, at least he thought of these things, and he thought of work. There was no need for Du Chunhua to praise him. The distance between the two was so far, and he didn't have much effect on knowing it. Besides, Song Gonglun has already worked in Jiangnan Province. To a certain extent, it is impossible for Du Chunhua to help.

Until about two o'clock in the afternoon, Du Chunhua got in the car and left. He talked a lot with Zhou Tianhao. The two talked for more than an hour, and what Du Chunhua said was basically work.

After Zhou Tianhao returned home, his parents had already prepared. In the afternoon, he went to his uncle's house for dinner. He also made a call several times and asked when he had passed. Bing Qian looked at Zhou Tianhao and was very dissatisfied. When she set off, Zhou Tianhao must hold her. He said in Zhou Tianhao's ear that the red envelope I just received had more than 20,000 yuan in it, and he handed it to his mother. Zhou Tianhao was very surprised. In this way, the five red envelopes, each red envelope was basically 5,000 yuan, which is not a small amount. (To be continued.)
