Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 666 Chapter 665
Tang Zhitong hurried and worked himself into a sweat, and finally arrived at the escort office before three o'clock.

In order to save time, Tang Zhitong parked the bicycle directly in front of Fang Yuan's office. After getting off the bicycle and looking at the pedals, Tang Zhitong was still thinking: If only this were a Hot Wheels, I could get there in a flash.

"Oh, great man, I've finally seen you!" Fang Yuan was very happy to see Tang Zhitong coming in. His face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and he stood up to greet him.

"Brother Yuan, you know everything?" Tang Zhitong smiled. His name was not mentioned in the report, only his face was shown. If you didn't look carefully, it would not be easy to find.

"Nowadays, reading newspapers and studying are also necessary tasks for me every day. You don't have to sit here anymore. Let's go to the Municipal Bureau. Old Su has called several times to ask about it." Fang Yuan shook hands with Tang Zhitong, turned around, picked up his bag, and led Tang Zhitong out the door.

Okay, seeing this, Tang Zhitong didn't even take off his bag, pushed his bicycle and followed Fang Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, what instructions are there from the Municipal Bureau?" This time, Tang Zhitong didn't feel the nervousness he had the last time he was called over. With the group photo, he felt confident.

"Who has the nerve to instruct you now? You're so tight-lipped. There was no news at all before." Fang Yuan knew that Tang Zhitong participated in the compilation of the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" and had been to Director Hu's office for this matter some time ago.

"Brother Yuan, I didn't hear anything before I went there. Let me tell you this, before He walked in, I didn't know the standard of that meeting was so high." Tang Zhitong looked innocent, but he couldn't say anything careless. This matter involved confidentiality, and if he revealed anything, someone might lose his job.

"Okay, I know it's not up to you. Tell me quickly, what the scene was like?" Fang Yuan was also curious. He saw from the report a description of safeguarding the health of the general public, but the report also mentioned inventions and creations, which was a bit unusual.

"It was pretty much the same as in the report. We first shook hands, then sat down for a meeting, and finally came out." Tang Zhitong remembered the incident vividly, and what was said at the meeting. Due to his personality, he did not tell Fang Yuan about the praise, expectations, encouragement, etc. he received at the meeting.

"That's it? Then why are there other inventions and creations reported?" Fang Yuan was a little unconvinced.

"Hehe, this matter has something to do with me." Tang Zhitong didn't expect Fang Yuan to be unable to speak fluently, but he was very sharp-eyed and revealed a little: "I made some small inventions before, and then by chance, I earned some foreign exchange. Maybe the newspaper felt that this matter was not suitable to be told to the outside world, so they only mentioned it once."

Tang Zhitong estimated that he could guess about 70% of the actual situation. It was not only because it was not suitable to be made public, but also because Aunt Li probably gave special instructions for the purpose of protecting her. However, the newspaper could not help but mention it, so it was only mentioned briefly.

"Wow! You, you are omnipotent! I knew I was right about you!" Fang Yuan was very happy. After all, he had a keen eye for talent, and his subordinates were received and praised. This kind of thing would make anyone happy.

"Hehe, that's also inseparable from Brother Yuan's support. With my work habit of working for three days and resting for two days, I would have been punished in other units long ago. How could I have the time to invent?" Tang Zhitong said this as a compliment, but it was also what he thought. It is easy to find such a unit, but it is very difficult to meet a good leader.

"Don't flatter me, it's all your own fault." Hearing Tang Zhitong say this, Fang Yuan was happy and his face was filled with joy, but this is the trend of the times, and he has to be humble no matter what he encounters.

"Hehe, both, both." Regardless of whether Fang Yuan admitted it or not, Tang Zhitong felt that this was the right way to say it.

When the two of them arrived at the Municipal Bureau, Tang Zhitong also said to Director Hu: "My achievements are inseparable from the support of the Municipal Bureau and Director Fang's tolerance of me. If I were in another unit, I would probably be too busy to do anything, so how could I have time to invent something?"

"You're being too modest. What's more important in this matter is personal intelligence and talent." Director Hu understood the whole story and was very happy to hear Tang Zhitong's statement.

When it comes to the word "invention and creation" which was mentioned briefly in the newspaper, Director Hu has a deeper understanding than Fang Yuan.

Director Hu knew that Tang Zhitong participated in the compilation of the "Barefoot Doctor Manual", but he also didn't know about the invention to earn foreign exchange, so he asked Su Qingxiang to inquire about it after seeing the report.

This can be considered a code word that is said openly, allowing those who are qualified and want to know to obtain information from relevant personnel. For those who are not qualified, even if they ask around, they will not be able to find out, and they may not even know who to ask.

In fact, before Director Hu gave the order, Su Qingxiang also recognized Tang Zhitong. Originally, he asked his secretary Cheng Hai to contact Tang Zhitong first to find out the situation. However, after receiving Director Hu's order, the importance of the matter was raised, so he followed the normal process and asked Fang Yuan to find someone.

Su Qingxiang had dealt with Tang Zhitong several times and had a good impression of this young man.

Su Qingxiang also knew that Tang Zhitong was involved in compiling the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" because the ministry issued a document a few days ago, suggesting that each region provide a manual for postmen, especially rural postmen, in order to better serve the rural people.

Coming out of Director Hu's office, Su Qingxiang took over the initiative of the conversation: "Xiao Tang, you made a big noise. You have to tell me about it this time so that we can learn from you and make progress."

"Director Su, you're too polite. I'll go back and think about it and make good preparations. I'll come to report to you tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" After coming out, Tang Zhitong felt a little overwhelmed because Director Hu asked Director Su to write a manuscript and send it out within the postal and telecommunications system.

"Okay, then I will do nothing tomorrow and just wait for you to come. If you don't come, I will go find you." Su Qingxiang responded happily.

"Don't worry, I will come specifically, and I will come early in the morning." Tang Zhitong felt as if he had been pardoned. He planned to exploit Secretary Xiao Wang in the evening and ask her to work overtime. After all, she was better at writing interview drafts than himself.

While they were chatting, Jingmin returned home and found the photo frame and note wrapped in newspaper.

Jingmin was frightened by the threats on the note from his elder sister, but he was more curious about what was inside the newspaper.

Jingmin was very conflicted. He wanted to take it apart but was afraid to. He could only hold the rope and pull it gently. Before he could make up his mind whether to take it apart or not, the rope was pulled apart first.

Jingmin took a look and saw that the rope had untied itself, so why was he still hesitating? He quickly opened the newspaper and a huge photo frame appeared in front of him.

Jingmin was stunned when he held the photo frame upright. He knew everyone in it, but it was hard for him to imagine that these two people had any connection.

"What are you doing in the bedroom? Come out and do your homework." Seeing that her son didn't move, Ye Zhijuan pushed open the door and urged him.

"Mom! Look! Brother-in-law!" Jingmin had already forgotten the threats on the note and excitedly held the photo frame to show it to his mother.

"Ouch, hold on tight! You kid, you're so impulsive!" Ye Zhijuan took the photo frame after her son ran over. She knew the photo, but she didn't expect the young couple to enlarge it and install it so quickly.

"Is he praising my brother-in-law? When did it happen?" Jingmin asked like a curious baby when he saw that his mother was not surprised. "It happened two days ago. You should study hard and try to get him to praise you." Ye Zhijuan looked at the photos carefully and was very satisfied with the photographer's skills. She was also very grateful for Sister Li's care.

"Well, I will definitely learn from my brother-in-law!" Jingmin said excitedly, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Where is it?" Ye Zhijuan asked, then looked up and looked around the room. There was a pile of newspapers on the desk.

"It's on the desk, wrapped in newspaper." Jingmin looked back at the desk, his eyes resting on the note.

"Okay, go out and do your homework. I'll wrap it up for your elder sister." Ye Zhijuan knew at a glance that the reason the couple used so many newspapers to wrap the photo frame was to prevent it from being bumped. In order to make it easier to take it away later, Ye Zhijuan planned to wrap the photo frame up again.

"I'll help you!" Jingmin volunteered to run to the desk, spread out the newspaper, and at the same time covered the note left by his elder sister with the newspaper without leaving a trace. Then he reached his little hand under the newspaper, crumpled the note into a ball and held it in his hand.

"Good boy." Ye Zhijuan's attention was on the photo frame and she didn't notice her son's little movements.

"Hehe." Jingmin was very proud of his mother's praise. When his mother folded the newspaper, he retracted his hand and put the paper ball into his trouser pocket.

"Okay, go do your homework." Ye Zhijuan urged while wrapping the photo frame.

"Yes, yes, right away." Jingmin agreed readily and proudly. Looking at the photo frame that his mother had wrapped up immediately, he thought that as long as his mother wrapped it up, his elder sister would not be able to find it, and the threat on the note could also be removed.

But man proposes, God disposes. As Jingmin just walked out of the bedroom door, Xiao Wang pushed the door open.

Seeing his brother coming out of the bedroom with a beaming smile, Xiao Wang asked suspiciously, "What are you doing? Did you take down my photo frame?"

Jingmin's smile froze on his face, and he argued, "I just looked at it, so what? Is it against the law to look at a photo? Besides, my mother has wrapped it up, it's intact!"

"Hmph! You're so bold. You don't take my words seriously, do you? Where's the note? Don't say you didn't see it." Xiao Wang was very dissatisfied with his brother's answer. Not only did his brother not mention a word about leaving the note, he also dragged his mother into it, which was really evasive.

"What note? Don't accuse a good person." Jingmin subconsciously covered his trouser pockets with his hands and slipped backwards, intending to deny his guilt.

"Good guy? Come on, please be a good guy and tell me what's in your trouser pocket!" Seeing that the ugly younger brother not only refused to admit his guilt but also showed signs of running away, classmate Wang rushed to the younger brother, twisted his ear with one hand, and "helped" the younger brother take the note out of his trouser pocket with the other hand.

"Mom, my elder sister hit me!" Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Jingmin activated the "Great Summoning Technique". No matter whether it was useful or not, he just summoned first.

"How did you make your elder sister angry again?" Ye Zhijuan finished packing and came out. The two siblings were like enemies. Whenever they were at home, the house was much more lively.

"Mom, look, this kid is so bold that he actually dares to hide and pretend that he knows nothing." Classmate Xiao Wang handed the paper ball to Ye Zhijuan and held his brother's hand without letting go.

"Sister, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and let me go." Jingmin watched the situation develop in a direction beyond his control, so he covered his butt with his hands and decisively admitted his mistake.

"Child, how could you lie at such a young age?" Ye Zhijuan unfolded the paper ball and saw the message from her daughter. She understood what her daughter meant. The photos are very precious and if there is a mistake, it will not be a matter of re-printing them.

"Sister, I won't dare to do it again, this is the last time, the last time." Jingmin gave up his last bit of fantasy after hearing what his mother said.

"Humph, I don't believe your promise. You laughed at me yesterday morning. Let's settle both old and new accounts together." Classmate Xiao Wang grabbed his brother's ear and, while counting his "crimes", dragged him towards the sofa.

"Sister, be gentle, don't tire your hands. If you tire yourself, your brother-in-law will be heartbroken." Jingmin, whose ears were pulled, was like an old cow with a nose ring. Although he was stubborn, he knew what to do.

"Hmph, don't think you can escape this beating by saying nice things." Listening to his younger brother begging for mercy again and again, even taking out Tang Zhitong, Xiao Wang felt that his younger brother had made progress, but it was not an excuse to escape punishment for lying.

While Xiao Wang was talking, his hands were not idle. He dragged his younger brother to the sofa, stopped pulling his ears, and pushed his younger brother down on the sofa. He held his brother's neck with one hand, pressed his brother's legs with one leg, and prepared to take off his pants with the other hand.

"Sister, sister, we are doing this in front of Sister Fengzhen, please don't offend her. Can you hit me through my pants?" Jingmin was panicking, but faced with the overwhelming advantage in strength, he couldn't break free and could only find excuses in various ways.

"Jingmin is really sensible, but I pulled your sister Fengzhen around and turned her face so you can't see." Jingying understood her brother and was happy to see him get a lesson. Faced with her brother's excuses for avoiding education, she did not give him any chance to escape. She held Fengzhen's shoulders with both hands and turned the little sister's body 180 degrees.

Fengzhen was aroused by Jingying's actions. She turned her back to Jingmin and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing secretly.

Classmate Xiao Wang turned his head to look at his sister and sister-in-law, then quickly took off his brother's pants and slapped his brother's exposed buttocks.

"Ah! Second sister! You are so beautiful, how can you say such cold words!" Hearing the crisp sound and feeling the pain on his buttocks, Jingmin tried hard to "condemn" his second sister.

"Oh, it's come to this, and you still have the mind to criticize me? Big sister, step it up, step it up!" Jingying was fanning the flames and cheering for her big sister, almost clapping.

"Pa!" Xiao Wang lived up to everyone's expectations and slapped Jingmin, settling old scores with him: "You lied today, but you laughed at me yesterday morning. What were you laughing at? You've become bolder, haven't you?"

"Sister, I was wrong. Please be gentler. It's okay if it hurts a little. Don't hurt your hand!" Jingmin grimaced in pain, feeling the strength of the elder sister, but he couldn't struggle free. He could only start from other places, trying to get the elder sister to show mercy.

Ye Zhijuan saw all this, but she had no intention of interfering. Lying must be taught a lesson, but her son's performance today was somewhat beyond her expectations. He had become more savvy in his speech. Although he was still talkative, his words made people feel comfortable. She could see that the eldest son was much more gentle than before...
