Chapter 501 Playing Chess, Regret

Secretary Guo had already bought some grain, vegetables, and meat early and put them in the trunk, waiting to deliver them to Deputy Mayor Huo when he picked them up.
If you don’t buy it in the morning, you won’t be able to buy it fresh.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Guo!" Huo Zhekun said with a smile, feeling quite happy when he saw Secretary Guo getting various things into the room. After all, doing so saved him and his wife a lot of trouble.
"You're welcome, it's not hard at all." Secretary Guo chuckled and said, "What other instructions do you have?"
"No more for now." Huo Zhekun said, "Come to my study and let's talk about the recent situation in Nanshi."
It has been almost 20 days since he left. Huo Zhekun is going to work tomorrow. It is important to understand some details today. These contents are undoubtedly known from Secretary Guo, which is more accurate.
Secretary Guo has been working under Huo Zhekun since he first arrived in Nanshi. He has grown from a young man to a young man in his thirties. When Huo Zhekun was promoted, he did not forget to promote him. It can be said that Secretary Guo was Huo Zhekun's confidant.
Secretary Guo was originally a small clerk with no family background and no experience. Somehow, he was assigned to work under Huo Zhekun, who had just been transferred.
It doesn't matter if you have no family background, the leader will respect you.
It doesn’t matter if you have no experience, just learn from the leader.
Over the years, Secretary Guo has experienced great storms with Huo Zhekun, and his abilities have greatly improved. He has rich experience in dealing with various things, and has become a well-rounded and qualified secretary with outstanding abilities.
"Yes!" Secretary Guo followed Huo Zhekun to the study to talk.
Jiang Lifang prepared various receipts, just a few more, and returned them to Secretary Guo later.
There are no privileges now. These are all obtained with tickets from Secretary Guo’s house. I am grateful for the help. Jiang Lifang cannot take up the rations of Secretary Guo and his family.
There has been no one living in the house for a long time. Before cooking, I quickly took out the bedding and mats at home to dry them.
He Tiantian returned home and took the chessboard, asking He Jingyu to play chess with Huo Yingjie. She wanted to help Jiang Lifang make a fire and cook.
With Tiantian's help, Jiang Lifang moved faster.
He Tiantian often hears the annoyed voice of his father He Jingyu in the kitchen1.
Huo Yingjie played chess without giving in to He Jingyu. Often less than fifteen minutes after a game of chess starts, He Jingyu is forced into a corner.
"I said you brat, did you give in to me before?" He Jingyu said angrily, even if you make rapid progress, you can't be so good. In the past, a game of chess could be played for more than an hour, but now it's better, just massacre.
Huo Yingjie blinked, half understanding. He seemed to understand that Uncle He on the opposite side didn't like him to win.
"I didn't give in." Huo Yingjie shook his head and refused to admit it.
"Then come again!" He Jingyu started over, not believing that he kept losing to this brat.
However, this time, Huo Yingjie was ignorant and made some concessions. However, it was so obvious that He Jingyu could see it himself.
He finally understood that Huo Yingjie had definitely let him down before.
Hey, but when you think about it, it makes sense to curry favor with your future father-in-law!
Although this kid has not yet regained his previous sanity, his IQ is still quite high in some aspects. I hope he can recover as soon as possible in the future.
It’s not easy to find another such a good son-in-law!
Hearing his father's annoyance from time to time while playing chess with Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang, you see that brother Yingjie has gradually improved. Don't treat him as a patient in the future."
Jiang Lifang now thinks about it. She is satisfied with her son, who is jumping around so much. He is still so good in some aspects.
"Yeah, I figured it out. I can't look miserable in front of Yingjie all day long. No matter what, life has to go through." Jiang Lifang said, "Look, Yingjie is so smart, but he doesn't look like a fool at all!"
A real fool, dumbfounded, drooling, and speaking incoherently.
But Huo Yingjie is not like that. He is just ignorant. He doesn't know how to answer some things, so he looks at you with those deep black eyes, making you want to take the whole world back to him.
"Yes, we as a family must have confidence." He Tiantian said, "Don't be stressed."
"Thank you Tiantian. If it weren't for you, Yingjie wouldn't be like this. If you hadn't often persuaded me, I wouldn't be able to think about it." Jiang Lifang said, "Now that we are back in Nanshi, we are our own home, and we can live a better life." Gotta feel more comfortable."
He Tiantian smiled and asked, "Aunt Jiang, you don't like being in Yanjing either?"
"Haha, although Yanjing is also the place where I grew up, after so many years here, I have gradually become unaccustomed to the climate there." Jiang Lifang smiled bitterly. In fact, people can adapt to the environment, but she does not like the atmosphere of the Huo family's old house. .
However, that was the Huo family's business after all, and it was not easy for Jiang Lifang to criticize the Huo family's old residence in front of He Tiantian.
"Yes, I don't like it there either, I just like Nanshi." He Tiantian said with a smile, "But, I also like Qijia Village now. It's so comfortable there! The environment is very good, and seeing that it's winter, There are hot springs there, oh my, it’s so nice to take a bath.”
"Listening to what you said, I kind of want to go visit Qijia Village." Jiang Lifang said with a smile, but this is just talk. She has already asked for so many days of leave, but she cannot ask for more leave.
"Okay, now that the road has been repaired, it will be easier to get in and out." He Tiantian said, "When the time comes, I will take you to take a bath."
After the meal was ready, it was already 12:30 pm, so we could eat.
Jiang Lifang called Huo Zhekun and Secretary Guo to come out for dinner.
"Let's go, we've almost finished talking, let's go out for dinner." Huo Zhekun said, "You've worked hard during my absence."
"Leader, please don't say such things. I, Guo Xingda, can be where I am today because of your support, and this is my job, it should be done." Secretary Guo smiled and thanked the leader for his cultivation at the right time.
Huo Zhekun nodded and said, "Work hard and be cautious, and we can go further."
"Yes, yes." Secretary Guo nodded repeatedly. If the big leader is promoted, he will also be promoted.
It's good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade!
"Let's go, go out, if you don't go out, your sister-in-law will probably come in and grab you." Huo Zhekun smiled and walked out of the study with Secretary Guo, one after the other.
Because Secretary Guo prepared a lot of things, the lunch was quite rich, and with He Tiantian as the chef, it tasted very good.
After dinner, Secretary Guo said goodbye, and Jiang Lifang quickly gave Secretary Guo all kinds of receipts.
"Sister-in-law, I still have some at home, so don't be polite to me." Secretary Guo refused, because not everyone has the opportunity to give gifts to the leader.
