Chapter 134 Dinner
Just when he was about to get off work, Huang Guotao walked to the door of Lingyou's office and knocked on the door with a smile.
Ling You looked over and said with a smile: "Mayor Huang is here, come in and sit down."
After saying that he also walked over, Huang Guotao sat on the sofa and said: "Today's matter is enough for Jia Wanxiang to drink a pot. The comrades from the country have gone to the mine in the afternoon. Jia Wanxiang and Liu Liang have not returned to town yet.
.”
Ling You poured a glass of water for Huang Guotao: "After all, paper can't cover the fire. The safety hazards in the mine should not last for a day or two. No one was killed today, so Jia Wanxiang should burn incense."
Huang Guotao said at this time: "Thanks to you, mayor, for today. Your medical skills really shocked me."
Ling You smiled and said, "Oh, I graduated from a medical university."
Huang Guotao had actually read Ling You's information before, so he had no doubts, so he said: "Deputy Mayor Yuan and others have already told me about the mayor's treat tonight, and everyone can't wait to eat your meal.
"
Ling You smiled and glanced at his watch: "I'm getting off work soon. I'll buy some food later, but I don't know how to cook."
Huang Guotao chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, there are some cooking experts among us."
Ling You said: "Really? Who is it?"
Huang Guotao stretched out a thumb and pointed at himself: "Me."
Ling You laughed: "Then I'm going to have a taste of Mayor Huang's craftsmanship today."
The two chatted for a while, and then it was time to get off work, so Huang Guotao said: "Mayor, just go home first. All comrades will be there in a while."
Ling You nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll be waiting for you all to come to my humble home."
After Lingyou walked out of the town government compound, he walked towards a small fruit and vegetable supermarket in the town. At the same time, he called Li Xiang and asked him when he would arrive.
So I went to the supermarket and bought some ribs, fish, vegetables, etc., and some condiments. I have pots and dishes at home, but I don’t know how to cook, so I haven’t prepared condiments. It’s my first time to start the fire today, so I want to buy some.
There were a lot of things, and I didn’t know exactly what I needed, so I bought two big bags on the recommendation of my boss, so it was really not light.
I had just walked out of the supermarket and was walking home when I heard a voice from behind: "Mayor Ling?"
There was a hint of temptation in his tone, not daring to confirm.
Hearing this, Ling You stopped and turned around to look over, only to see that this person was none other than Ding Le from the Finance Office, the young man who gave him the suitcase.
Ling You smiled and said, "It's Xiao Ding."
When Ding Le saw that it was indeed Ling You, he walked up to pick up what Ling You was holding: "Mayor, let me do it."
Ling You refused: "It's okay, it won't sink."
Ding Le scratched his head and said with a smile: "My aunt said you would treat me tonight, and I was thinking of buying something before I came to visit you. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ling You smiled and joked: "Thank you for meeting me here, but you are not allowed to buy anything. Aren't you making me make a mistake?"
Ding Le smiled awkwardly: "I didn't mean that."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the thing in Lingyou's hand: "Mayor, I'll do it."
When Ling You saw this, he gave him a bag: "One bag for each of us."
Ding Le smiled: "That's fine."
So the two of them walked home together. Ling You chatted with him on the way. According to his two contacts with Ding Le, Ling You found that Ding Le was a relatively introverted person, a little shy, so he wanted to
Whether you make friends with him or open your heart to him, you need to establish a friendly relationship with him little by little to make him talk more.
As soon as he walked to the door of the unit in the family building, Ling You saw Li Xiang standing in front of his bicycle waiting. Ling You smiled and said, "I thought I had to come back earlier than you did."
Li Xiang heard the sound and looked over, and hurriedly came over to take the things from Ling You's hand. Ling You was polite to him, but still did not argue with Li Xiang. So he took out the key and opened the door of the unit, and the three of them walked in tandem.
Went upstairs.
After entering the house, the two put down their things. Ling You said, "This is Secretary Li Xiang from Taoyuan Village, and this is Comrade Ding Le from the Town Finance Office."
Li Xiang then said: "Oh, we have met before, but we have not met each other before, so we are not familiar with each other."
So Li Xiang took the initiative and stretched out his hand: "Just call me Li Xiang."
Ding Le also shyly stretched out his hands: "My name is Ding Le."
Ling You smiled and said, "It just so happens that you two arrived first. Let's wash the vegetables first. When Mayor Huang and others arrive, let them start cooking directly."
The three of them were just halfway through getting ready when there was a knock on the door. Ling You opened the door and saw Yuan Meng and Ji Min arriving first.
Ling You smiled and welcomed them in: "Mayor Yuan, Director Ji, come in quickly."
Then he said, "I don't have that many slippers, so just wear your shoes and go in." So the two of them entered the house.
Ji Min took a look around the room and said, "I didn't expect that the mayor, a grown man, lives in a pretty clean house."
Ling You smiled and said: "I have nothing to mess with. When I come back from get off work every day, there are three places where I stay the most: the sofa, the bathroom, and the bedroom." He pointed to these three places.
Yuan Meng and Ji Min both giggled. Ji Min covered her mouth and said with a smile: "That's because the mayor himself is a clean person. Like my house, if I don't clean it up in one day, he can make the house look like a pig's nest.
"
Yuan Meng smiled and said: "Aren't all the gentlemen like this?"
At this moment, Ding Le heard a voice and stuck his head out from the kitchen, holding a fish: "Auntie."
Yuan Meng saw Ding Le and smiled and said, "Well, I performed well today. I knew I would come over early to help the mayor."
Then he said to Ji Min: "Let's stop being idle and take over the kitchen. I don't know about others, but I'm afraid that my nephew can't even scrape off the fish scales."
Ling You was not polite to everyone at this time. This was the first time since he came to Liushan Town that he felt such a lively atmosphere. There was no false flattery from everyone, and everyone showed their true character and appearance, making it much more comfortable to get along with them.
.
After Ji Min and Yuan Meng entered the kitchen, they greeted Li Xiang and "kicked" them out.
So Li Xiang and Ding Le washed their hands and returned to the living room. Ling You pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and have a rest."
After a while, Huang Guotao, Li Zhuo and others also arrived, including two or three young people.
At this time, Huang Guotao took over the control of the kitchen and started cooking.
In a blink of an eye, it got dark and the meals were all ready. Everyone put the dining table in the living room and sat around the table on simple plastic stools.
After everyone was seated, Ling You raised his tea cup and said: "First of all, I just arrived in Liushan Town today, so I want to have a meal with you, chat, and get familiar with each other. Secondly, I believe that Mayor Huang will also meet with you all
I talked about my future development plan for our town, so I won’t drink alcohol today and have tea instead of a bar.”
Everyone smiled and said nothing after hearing this, but Huang Guotao, who had become closer to Ling You in the past two days, joked: "The mayor just wants to drink with us, but we don't dare to drink. We know how good you are at drinking."
It was so terrible."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but then they all picked up their teacups, and Ling You drank the tea with everyone.
Then he said: "Everyone eats the food, and I will also try Mayor Huang's cooking."
