Chapter 406 It’s all Qingjiao’s fault
“By the way, Zhang An, I’m going to the provincial capital for a meeting next week. Do you want to come with me and just treat it like going out to have fun?”
< br>After making a cup of steaming tea, Zhu Yuliang blew it and put the lid on the cup before talking to Zhang An.
“Forget it, I don’t like the feasting life, why go to the provincial capital.”
Of course Zhang An knew the meaning of Zhu Yuliang’s words, and it was unclear whether he planned to take him there. It's a public trip.
But after thinking about it, he had nothing to do and had to go to the provincial capital, so he shook his head and rejected Lao Zhu's kindness.
Although he could go out for a walk if he had nothing to do, Zhang An didn't want to take advantage of such an opportunity.
Although he has a good relationship with Lao Zhu, to put it bluntly, he just has a good relationship with him through the back door.
This kind of free travel with the leader will definitely be watched by a lot of people in the Forestry Bureau.
If he really wants to go, he really doesn’t need to compete with others for this opportunity, as he will easily be jealous of others.
Another reason is that Zhang An doesn't want to go to the provincial capital.
Fat Lu had invited him many times before, but Zhang An still never agreed.
Although the provincial capital is indeed much more prosperous than this small county town, with bright lights and bustling traffic everywhere.
But in his previous life, he had lived a working life in a provincial capital for decades, and he had long since realized that those things did not belong to him.
In contrast, he still likes to stay in a small mountain village with a strong smell of fireworks.
When you go to the provincial capital and look at those familiar things, you will inevitably recall the life of running around for life and money.
Zhang An likes this kind of life now of guarding his family and living warmly at home very much.
Zhang An is not very willing to recall many things in the past.
"Besides, it will be Qingming Festival in a few days, so I definitely won't have time."
In the mountains, it is different from the city. People in the city may just go to visit the tombs during Qingming Festival.
But people in the mountains are different. They pay less attention to Qingming than the New Year.
Especially for people like Zhang An, who have many families, all gathered in one village, they will work even harder during the Qingming Festival.
"Since you don't want to go, then I will take the others."
Zhu Yuliang just asked, and he was not surprised at all if Zhang An didn't go.
After getting along for a long time, he got to know Zhang An quite well. This man rarely came to the county town, let alone the provincial capital further away from home.
"But I'm curious. If you can really stay in the mountains every day, is there really something precious about you?"
Other people in the city are sharpening their heads. In the city, I want to escape poverty in the mountains.
No matter in the past, present or future, most country people will think about moving to the city.
Whether it is the current job opportunities in the city, the speed of making money, or the future teaching resources and medical environment.
The trend of the times is forcing rural people to move to cities.
When he arrived at Zhang An's place, Zhu Yuliang clearly felt that this man was alienated from the people in the city.
"I'm just a mountain person. I wouldn't want to stay in the mountains. Besides, there are indeed treasures in the mountains."
Zhang An smiled, looking at the unexplored mountains behind the village. , is a huge natural treasure house.
It’s not clear how others see him, but for him, the mountains are full of treasures.
“Besides, without the pressure of life, mountain people will still choose to live in the mountains, because it is just like putting your feet in shoes, it is comfortable.”
Zhang An suddenly thought of that classic movie, that classic line.
When future generations saw it, they didn’t think it was anything. Now that I think about it, I find that there is some resonance in my heart.
“Maybe you are right, but that’s because you are in a good place like Changqing with green mountains and green waters. If you were in a remote and remote place, it might be a bit self-evident.”
< br>Although what Zhang An said did have some charm, Zhu Yuliang still disagreed.
In the many years he has been climbing up from the bottom, he has also been to many remote places in the mountains.
There are so many places without electricity, roads or water. How can the people living there be comfortable?
Zhang An did not continue to argue with Zhu Yuliang, what he said was indeed reasonable.
Although I say that because I want to stay in the village, I have been helping to change the environment in the village.
But that’s because there is space. If there is no chance to come back this time, there will be no space as a treasure.
He will still be like everyone else, drifting in the tide of the general environment.
"Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come over for a visit next time when nothing happens."
Looking at the time, I can still catch up with my family for lunch when I go back. .
"No, why are you leaving in such a hurry? You are considered one of us now. What does it mean to leave now."
Zhang An wants to leave, but Zhu Yuliang can He disagreed and immediately stopped him.
“I’m about to get off work, so I’ll have lunch with everyone so we can get to know each other before leaving without delay.”
"That's right, then I'll treat you all to a meal at noon and get to know me before I go back."
Zhu Yuliang was introducing someone to himself, Zhang An would not have known it.
Now he himself is considered one of them. If he doesn’t know anyone, it really doesn’t make sense.
“You don’t need to invite me, let’s have a look in the cafeteria at noon. You haven’t eaten in our workplace cafeteria, so you just come over to check it out. Although the food is not as good as yours, our cafeteria is not built. Yes, that is the envy of many units.”
The canteen of the Forestry Bureau has always been the most outstanding place among all units in the county.
After all, it is directly in charge of that area, and many harmless things are handled in this way.
Now that we have the ingredients, Lao Zhu’s previous predecessors were quite good at it, so they directly found a cook with good skills.
So, their canteen has become the most envied place by others.
Zhu Yuliang has arranged this, so Zhang An will naturally not refuse.
“By the way, Lao Zhu, I don’t come here often, why would you arrange a table for me? It’s a bit of a waste.”
Only then did Zhang An remember the workstation in the office.
"It's okay. Anyway, our place is relatively spacious. If it is empty, it will be empty. I will arrange one for you. You will have a place to sit when you come. And I have arranged it for you. I will come to you if I need anything in the future. , I won’t be embarrassed.”
Originally, Zhu Yuliang was still thinking about talking to Zhang An, but someone happened to knock on the door and had something to say.
Zhang An did not stay with Zhu Yuliang anymore and returned to his own place.
"Sister Zhuang, do we have any information about wild animals and plants here?"
It was more than an hour before getting off work. When Zhang An and Zhuang Shuying were chatting, they did not forget that the family was Huatou and the others brought back those lambs.
"Of course, but no one usually looks at those things. They are all piled up in the archives. I didn't expect you to like to see these. I will take you to them."
As a place Forestry Bureau, of course there will be no shortage of this information. Zhuang Shuying took Zhang An to the archives room. After rummaging for a while, she found seven or eight thick books.
“Sister Zhuang, that’s enough, that’s enough. I’ll finish reading this first before talking.”
Seeing that Zhuang Shuying continued to search, Zhang An quickly shouted to stop.
These few books of information alone have been stacked to a height of more than 20 centimeters. How many would there be if they were all searched.
No wonder Zhuang Shuying just said that people usually don’t like to read this kind of thing. Indeed, no one would like so much information.
Zhang An knew there would be these things here, but he never thought there would be so many.
When he was reading it in the county library, there seemed to be only two thin volumes.
As expected, the Forestry Bureau is indeed a relevant unit, and these information are much more complete than those outside.
"Nacheng, you take this book back and read it first. I will sort out the others later, and you can come and get it."
Zhang An originally just wanted to read it while he was here. Look, I didn't expect Zhuang Shuying to say this. Naturally, he wouldn't be polite. He would carry them all into the car and take them back.
Now at home, when I have nothing to do, I have something new to kill time.
Back in the office, seeing that Zhuang Shuying had her own work, he did not continue to disturb others.
Sitting on a chair nearby, he quickly flipped through the contents recorded in the book.
When it was half past eleven, it was time to get off work, Zhu Yuliang came over and called Zhang An, and followed everyone to the canteen.
Although Zhang An knew that the canteens of these units were always good, when he got the food, he realized that what Lao Zhu just told him was a bit too modest.
If you want to eat a meat dish outside, it will cost you at least six yuan at a roadside stall.
As a result, there are a lot of steaks, braised pork, and chicken drumsticks in this cafeteria.
It seems that the benefits are indeed better than other places. No wonder Zhang Ping always likes to come here for training.
During the meal, Zhang An also got to know all the colleagues in the unit through Lao Zhu’s introduction.
Although he is not familiar with them, based on his memory, he will have no problem calling everyone out the next time he sees them.
After dinner, Zhang An planned to go back, but before leaving, Zhu Yuliang called him into the office.
“Here, this is for you.”
In addition to a new camera, there is also a new camera.
"You are in the mountains, just like our rangers, so I applied to get one for you. This is your ID, but remember to use it with caution."
Zhang An did not expect that He actually has such a guy, and he still carries his ID.
Although I felt that I didn’t have much use for it, I didn’t refuse Lao Zhu’s kindness.
This thing will be placed in the space when the time comes, and it might come in handy.
"Okay, I'll go back first. When I'm not busy, I'll come down for a walk."
Zhang An was quite satisfied with this trip. Not only did he eat and drink well, but when he left, Even eating and taking it.
"Of course, you don't need to tell me that I will definitely go more often during the holidays. Hey, you also brought a basket of vegetables in the car. Can you eat green peppers and cucumbers now?"< br>
Zhu Yuliang personally saw Zhang An out. When he arrived in the yard, he saw the basket of vegetables in the car.
He thought Zhang An had brought it to him, and looking at the emerald-green little spiny cucumber, he couldn't help but get his hands on it.
Serving a fresh cucumber after the meal is simply a treat, not to mention that it was grown at Zhang An's home.
“Spring started early this year. My mom ordered the food a lot in advance, so it’s ready to eat now. But I can’t give it to you this time. My mom picked it for my mother-in-law. Yes, when I come in a few days, I will give you another basket."
Looking at Lao Zhu trying to unload the goods, Zhang An quickly stopped him.
Although it was just some vegetables, it was a filial piety to the mother-in-law, and Zhang An didn’t dare to touch it.
However, I still pulled out a few cucumbers and green peppers from the basket and asked Lao Zhu to take them back and eat them first.
"Well, I'll take these two to beat the teeth as a gift, but don't go to the city for several months. Then I will go to your house to pick them myself."< br>
Hearing that this was something Zhang An wanted to give to his mother-in-law, Zhu Yuliang had no idea of taking action again.
However, he was really uneasy about Zhang An's future.
This man always likes to stay in the village. He never knows how many days he will spend.
"Don't worry, I will accompany Su Ying over for a pregnancy test in a few days. It won't take long, and if you go by yourself, I will definitely welcome you."
Hearing that he was going to accompany Su Ying for a pregnancy test, Lao Zhu finally felt relieved. It shouldn't be too long this time.
After Zhang An left, he held the cucumber and green pepper in one hand, picked up one with the other and put it in his mouth.
"Director, these are cucumbers and green peppers? I didn't expect you can eat them now. Where did you buy them? I'll buy some too."
Now is not the future, there are no sheds yet. Planting green peppers, so for other people who haven’t eaten green peppers for most of the year, this is a new thing.
One looked at the cucumbers and green peppers in Zhu Yuliang's hand. Although he didn't think about asking for them, he kept asking about them.
"Haha, this is what Zhang An's family grew themselves, and they haven't sold it yet. I only have this much this time, so I won't share it with you."
Even the one just now The baskets all belonged to Zhu Yuliang, and he had no intention of sharing them with everyone.
After all, there are too many people, and even that basket is not enough, let alone what he has in his hand.
In line with the principle of worrying not about scarcity but about inequality, it is better to have a bowl of water that is flat and not divided by anyone than to offend others.
“Ah, I thought they were selling some. When I saw these green peppers, I suddenly wanted to eat fried meat with green peppers.”
"Yes, I also want to buy some to make scrambled eggs. It must be very fragrant."
"And the green chili peppers look tender and juicy. It will definitely go well with rice when cooked and mixed with them."
Cucumbers don’t matter, but green peppers are different.
It is well known that chili is the favorite of people in the southwest, and it is indiscriminate.
As soon as they saw the green peppers in Zhu Yuliang's hands, these people had already thought of countless ways to eat them.
"Director, why don't you ask Zhang An to see how many green peppers they have left? If there are more, sell them to us for a taste."
To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. , the glutton in his stomach has been aroused. If he can't ask for it from Zhu Yuliang, he can only ask for it from Zhang An himself.
So everyone gathered around Zhu Yuliang and asked him to help ask Zhang An.
"Okay, okay, okay, wait until tonight. I will definitely ask you tonight. Zhang An hasn't gone home yet."
The public opinion is so, Zhu Yuliang has no choice but to suffer. Face agreed.
He now regrets that the trouble caused by the green pepper this time would not have happened if he had not brought it in so arrogantly.
On the other side, Zhang An drove to his mother-in-law's unit.
He didn't go to Su Shaowen's place, because in comparison, Wu Qiuping's place was closer and more convenient.
