official journey ups and downs

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of the New Year in Dongquan County is getting stronger and stronger.The wanderers who worked, studied, and did business all returned to their hometowns one after another, and the county town suddenly became lively, and people could be seen everywhere.

There are also more small vendors on the street, some selling Spring Festival couplets, some selling clothes, some selling hairtail fish and other food, and some selling pots and pans, all kinds of things.The common people are not afraid of the cold, so they got on tricycles early and came to the county to buy some New Year's goods.After a year of work, I waited until the end of the year before I was willing to buy something for my family.

Shen Tong's family is no exception. This year can be described as double happiness for their family. Shen Tong's father, Shen Jianzhu, is delighted from ear to ear.The son has become a great talent, and became the secretary of the county party committee secretary. This is a blessing from the ancestors.In addition, his own farm is also in full swing.By the end of the year, all the pigs raised have been slaughtered, and this alone has earned more than 20 yuan.

In previous years, some departments lined up to ask for money at the end of the year. This year, it was strange that no law enforcement unit came to collect money. Shen Jianzhu guessed that this might have something to do with his son becoming the secretary of the county party committee.The benefits brought are far more than that. With a swipe of the pen, the Secretary of the Party Committee of Beizhai Township personally delivered a portion of the matching funds from the superior to the door, and designated Shen Jianzhu's farm as a key agricultural enterprise in Beizhai Township. In the coming year, we will continue to expand the scale and give full support.

This was before, I didn't even dare to think about it.The secretary of the party committee and the mayor personally came to the door to ask for warmth, and even some people whose names could not be named also came to the door to deliver rice noodles and oil, which made Shen Jianzhu's face bloom with joy.Besides, in the village, people in the village used to look down on this "outsider household", but after Shen Tong went to the county committee, many people came to visit his house, and the villagers greeted each other early, and they were a little embarrassed .In addition, let alone those who come to propose marriage.

Last time, the pigs raised by Shen Jianzhu ran out of the pigsty again, and the village chief yelled on his loudspeaker, mobilizing the whole village to search for pigs at his house. Within a short while, dozens of pigs were found without landing.

The son is promising, and Shen Jianzhu is much younger, nagging in front of his mother-in-law all day long: "What is Guangzong Yaozu, that's it! Look at my daughter, in Zhaobei City, look at my son again, he has given me a long face, beautiful. "

Shen Tong's mother, Liu Xiulan, was also very happy in her heart, but since her son went to work in the county party committee office, he didn't go home a few times, and the most time was to make a phone call. She sighed and said, "My son is promising, but this It's not a problem if you don't go home."

Shen Jianzhu ignored Liu Xiulan and said, "What do you know? A man should focus on his career and run home all day, so he can make a lot of money. You see, the son of Zhou Hailong's family in the village stays at home all day, either playing mahjong or wandering around , if Shen Tong does the same, are you happy?"

Shen Jianzhu lay on the kang and said, "I've done the math. After throwing away all the seed money for tomorrow, I still have 10,000+ left in my hand, which is enough to buy him a house in the county. As for the decoration money, I told my daughter She said, let her pay for it, but she still did. My son is going to get married soon when he grows up, and he will definitely not come back to the village, so we will give him a home in the county."

Thinking that her son was about to marry a wife and have children, Liu Xiulan suddenly wiped away her tears and said, "Hey! Time flies, I didn't expect my son to get married too. By the way, I don't know if he has found a partner? The first two days Aunt Wang from the next-door village told me that she wanted to marry his daughter to our son, I met her daughter, she looks good, she has a decent job, she teaches in a village primary school, why don’t you wait for my son to come back and talk about it?”

Shen Jianzhu gouged out Liu Xiulan's eyes and said, "Let me tell you, don't meddle in your son's affairs. He's such an old man that he has his own ideas. He knows exactly what kind of person he wants to find. You’ve already found it, so don’t worry about it.”

Liu Xiulan sighed and said, "It would be great for Shen Tong to get married earlier. I'm still strong enough to take care of his children. If it's a few years later, I'm afraid I won't be able to."

Shen Jianzhu ignored Liu Xiulan, dragged a pillow from a corner of the kang, covered it with a towel, and fell asleep soundly.Liu Xiulan made fun of herself and went to clean other houses with a feather duster.

Shen Tong is also very busy here, because he has worked overtime for several nights in a row because of the work report.Just as Shen Tong thought, when Guo Jiangang heard that Wu Jiangkai asked Shen Tong to draft the report, his heart was half cold. Since he was not allowed to participate, he simply ignored it.No matter what, just leave it alone, what should I do without you.

To Shen Tong's surprise, the newly transferred Nie Shaoxin showed a lot of enthusiasm. These days, he almost stayed with Shen Tong. If he needed any data, he was busy calling and asking for numbers from various units. Shen Tong worked overtime at night. He didn't leave, but also worked overtime together, which more or less made Shen Tong feel warm.

Nie Shaoxin was one year older than himself. He graduated from a normal school and was assigned to teach in the third county middle school.He is relatively simple and honest, and understands the ways of the world. He never pretends to be old and respects Shen Tong very much.The two have the same interests, but they didn't start a family and started a business. After going back and forth, the two became good friends.

In addition to drafting the report, there are still a lot of things waiting for Shen Tong to do.He usually accompanied Wu Jiangkai to meetings. The tea party held two days ago opened his eyes.

Since it was a tea party, the format of the meeting was relatively lively. Normally, the conference tables were formed into a circle, and some literary and artistic activists would perform in the middle. Shen Tong chose a corner and sat down.

Even though he was in the corner, he couldn't escape the eyes of some officials. After a while, an official came to shake hands with him.These faces are deeply imprinted in Shen Tong's mind, and he can basically be called by their names. He stood up and bowed modestly to show respect.

The key lies in the handshake.For example, the director of the Transportation Bureau sneaked over quietly and shook hands with Shen Tong naturally. When Shen Tong stretched out his hand to greet him, he felt a hard, card-like thing between his hands, and his heart beat suddenly, ready to stop.But the bureau chief shook hands tightly, nodded his head slightly, and quickly turned around and left.

Shen Tong's heart was beating wildly. When no one was paying attention to him, he quietly took out the card and took a look. It turned out to be a shopping card from a supermarket with a denomination of 500 yuan.Shen Tong didn't know what to do with it, so he put it in his pocket first.Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning.After the two-hour tea party, Shen Tong received more than 20 shopping cards and rice noodle oil coupons of different denominations.
