1267: What Does Song Lao Like (Plus)
Tang Hongen laughed: "What do you want to pay attention to? Don't be smart, what are you usually like, and what you will be like in front of the old man tomorrow. No matter how you hide it, your true thoughts are invisible in front of the old man. "
Xia Xiaolan was said to be embarrassed.
Yes, a person like Song Lao has ups and downs in his life, and he deals with equally powerful people. Xia Xiaolan also thinks that she is not careful enough.
She thought about it for a while. The focus of tomorrow is Lao Tang and her mother, and she may not have a chance to speak.
No need to hide it, Song Lao must have agreed to this marriage from the beginning, Lao Tang is married, and will show the old leader a look?
Maybe, I will see the Song family... that doesn't matter, the Song family is all dumbfounded, and Xia Xiaolan will go to the theater by herself.
"Uncle Tang, I already know, I promise not to embarrass you tomorrow!"
Xia Xiaolan did not continue to be a light bulb, leaving the space for the newlyweds.
Liu Fen was a little worried, "You didn't tell me last time, it was because of Mr. Song, did I embarrass you?"
Last time, Tang Hongen tricked her into going to Xiangshan for an outing, but he took her to the other courtyard where Song Lao cultivated.
Liu Fen didn't have the sharpness of Xia Xiaolan, thinking that it was an elder in Tang Hongen's family who was confused after seeing the person.
She felt that she was not generous enough, and Song Lao must have seen it.
Did Song Lao really not object to her and Tang Hongen?
Liu Fen was very suspicious.
Tang Hongen took her shoulders:
"Afen, I'm in my forties, and I know exactly what I want. It's my choice to pursue you and marry you, so why would Elder Song speak out against it? What are you thinking about? , Don't you have self-confidence and feel that you are not good enough. How can you be so stupid that you can't see that Song Lao likes you very much?"
ah?
do you like her?
Liu Fen remembered that she was a very kind old man. Knowing that she was from the countryside, she had a chat with her and asked her how the annual harvest was in the fields and how her life in the countryside was.
Liu Fen didn't think too much about it at the time, so she just told the truth.
I used to eat a big pot of rice and I was really hungry and wanted to eat the bark.
A few years ago, after the farms were distributed to the households, each household farmed and harvested their own food. The hard work was sure, but there was no time to eat the bark when hungry like before.
Although you have to pay public food and leave money, you have little money in your hands, but you can fill your stomach.
Even when they lived in the Xia family, the family had enough food to eat. After all, the Xia family had a lot of labor, and they took care of the fields. There was no reason for a bad harvest!
Liu Fen was not doing well at the time. It was Mrs. Xia who held the financial power of the family. The rations and savings earned by the whole family were in the hands of Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia herself was not doing well, and all the money was posted to Xia Ziyu's family.
But this is the special situation of the Xia family. From the perspective of the general environment, the life of the farmers is indeed better than before, and Liu Fen has gone through the years of the great famine.
She just told the truth, Song Lao listened with relish.
Now that I think about it, it is not easy for a person like Song Lao to have a real peasant around him.
Just like when Tang Hongen first arrived in Pengcheng and a new official took office, in order to understand the situation in Pengcheng, he had to take Xiao Wang to the grassroots to visit and investigate.
The higher the position, the more so. If you don't pay attention, you can only see the truth after the people below.
Liu Fen is not good at these, but she quite believes what Tang Hongen said:
"Elder Song really likes me?"
Tang Hongen put his arms around her shoulders, "Why doesn't he like you? Old Song has seen many people who tell lies in his life, and he likes others to tell the truth to him."
It's ridiculous that some people always try to be smart and try to make up nice lies, but they don't know that Song Lao hates this the most.
Tang Hongen can feel the same.
Not to mention Song Lao's position, even if he is just a mayor, there are fewer and fewer people who can tell the truth to him.
Xia Xiaolan is the one who tells the truth.
What help she wanted, she said plainly.
I don't want it clearly, and I have to make up lies to deceive people. Tang Hongen first walked with Xia Xiaolan and felt that this was reassuring.
The truth might not sound very nice. If he wasn't the mayor, Xia Xiaolan wouldn't have bothered to please him at first... But without the ridiculous performance in front of him wearing a mask, Tang Hongen already felt a breath of fresh air.
Looking at the people approaching them from the perspective of the superiors, it is like a teacher standing on a podium. The students below think that their small movements are seamless, but in fact they are all seen by the teacher.
What can the teacher say?
If it's not too much, don't be too lazy to expose it!
Tang Hongen didn't fool Liu Fen, but smashed it a little bit and told her:
"So Song Lao has no reason not to like you, like me, the special work environment determines that I have to think about what other people mean all day long. My boss scolded me, is it really disappointing to me, or is it inspiring me My subordinate is smiling at me, does he really think my idea is good, or is he just flattering me? I don't understand other people's ideas, and I have constraints everywhere when I want to do things... So A Fen, I have to guess other people's ideas when I go to work. Mind, can you not ask me to guess your mind when you get home in the future, if you are happy or unhappy, just tell me directly, okay?"
Is it good to be mayor?
Scenery!
The mayor has become like Tang Hongen, and he is even more powerful, and the green light goes all the way wherever he goes.
Tang Hongen complained to Liu Fen for the first time.
How can Liu Fen distinguish between such a mixed-truth routine, of course, what Tang Hongen says, she believes.
"Okay, no one of us is allowed to tell lies in the future."
Tang Hongen smacked these words and smiled meaningfully:
"Afen, you are learning very fast."
Liu Fen blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
She was using a little bit of caution.
Why coax her to swear to tell the truth and not to cheat? It should be both husband and wife.
But once these words came into Tang Hongen's mouth, it seemed to be a bit more ambiguous.
...
Song family.
Sister-in-law Song saw that her husband respectfully hung up the phone, and couldn't help but pouted.
It seems that through the telephone line, her father-in-law can see the situation here. Do you want to be so careful?
That being said, when it was Song Er's turn to go on her own, she was more respectful than her husband.
In the face of absolute power, family affection will become weak.
Sister-in-law Song suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to reason with her husband:
"Axuan called back from Pengcheng and said that Tang Hongen and that country woman got a marriage certificate, and they gave Axuan the wedding candy, and also told Axuan to get married early! Tang Hongen did such a thing, is he crazy? A Xuan has waited for him for so many years. Whether he is blind or deaf, he just thinks he can't see A Xuan's heart...A Xuan is 30 years old this year, and he turned around and married another woman! Does he look down on A Xuan? I look down on me, I look down on you..."
Her man is distraught:
"Shut up! Do you know what the old man said on the phone? Tell us to go to Xiangshan tomorrow if we have time, and Tang Hongen will bring his new wife to the door!"
