Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1115 To save money, huh?

Xiaowei's mom said, "Oh dear, you're both grown up now, you're capable of anything. Xiaowei and Xiaohong, other people are already married, don't you two have any thoughts about it?"

Xiaowei said, "Then let's get married. It's not a big deal. We'll get our marriage certificate after Xiaohong gets a job."

Xiaowei's mother came over and took Beibei aside to tie her hair, saying, "Let's calculate the dates, finalize the arrangements, and then inform relatives and friends. We need to think about who to invite. You two, do you think we'll still need to go back to the county if we hold it here?"

Xiao Wei said, "Our family members are all out here, and all the people I get along with are out here too. What's the point of going back? I'll get a car, pick them up, and then send them back after we've finished our business."

Xiaowei's mother thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. This courtyard can accommodate everyone. We can clean up the annex and make it more spacious. There are quite a few people living here."

Xiao Hong stood up and went to the kitchen: "Mom, why aren't you cooking? You're just chatting here. I'm starving."

Xiao Wei looked over and exclaimed, "Oh? You've changed your tune already?"

Xiao Hong: "Huh?"

Xiao Wei's mother laughed heartily, her little face flushed slightly: "What does it matter what you call him? Just call him whatever comes to mind. You traitor, hurry up and get down to business."

Xiaowei's mother asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wei sat up and shook the paper in his hand: "I'm looking for a workplace. She doesn't want to go to a public institution, so I'll ask around."

Xiaowei's mother said, "If I can get into a government department, I definitely won't go to a public institution. There's a huge difference in status, and it's hard to transfer there now. Your Uncle Wang's department has changed a lot of departments recently; many of them have become public institutions. You're all working for the government, so why are they different?"

Xiao Wei said, "It saves money. Civil servant positions are funded by the state, while public institution positions are funded by the local government."

Sitting there for a moment, looking at the list in his hand, Xiaowei went to his clothes and took out his phone. After thinking for a moment, he dialed a number.

"Hello, Director Wei, this is Zhang Wei. Does Governor Li have time right now?"

"Is something wrong? I'll ask around for you later."

A few minutes later, Governor Li's voice came through the phone: "Feeding? Xiao Wei?"

The plane crashed in November 93, and by August 94, compensation still hadn't been paid, mainly because wages were too low.

Xiao Wei walked to the edge of the living room and said, "Grandpa, we have something we'd like you to help us with. My wife and I are young and inexperienced, and we can't figure it out."

Vice Governor Li chuckled a few times: "I feel like you're setting a trap for me. What is it?"

Xiao Wei said, "Well, my wife graduated and is currently doing job interviews. The school is offering her positions in public institutions and state-owned enterprises, but she... well, she doesn't really want to go. There are positions available in the Construction Department and the Public Security Department, but... well, it's a bit awkward."

"You're the only acquaintance and elder I have in the province right now, so I'd like to hear your opinion."

Vice Governor Li thought for a moment: "Graduated? Northeast Institute of Technology, right? Oh, now it's Northeastern University. What did you study?"

Xiao Wei said, "She's in the Management Engineering Department, studying management-related things. She's a student union officer and interned at the Municipal Personnel Bureau for a year last year."

Vice Governor Li said, "I really haven't paid attention to this. Wait a moment, I'll have Xiao Wei ask him and tell you later."

"Hey, could you please compile detailed information on your province's livestock and agricultural support programs, as well as information on supermarket groceries, including product types, sources, hygiene and quality assurance, sales areas, and pricing? The sooner the better."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I'll have the office prepare it right away, and I'll bring it to you when it's ready."

After Vice Governor Li hung up the phone, Xiao Wei dialed the office: "Hey? Hao Juan? The province needs two documents, one about supporting agriculture through breeding and planting, and the other about supermarket agricultural products, including the current situation, development, and commodities. Make sure the data is detailed and thorough, and get them to me quickly."

Xiao Hong shook the water off her hands and walked over: "What are you up to now?"

Xiao Wei shook his head and put the phone away: "Didn't ask. Just give them what they want, it's pointless to ask. What do leaders always ask when they're doing things?"

Xiao Hong asked, "Then where should I go?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's wait and see what Governor Li says. Actually, I think you could go to the Public Security Bureau. You could transfer to the procuratorate or the courts later, which would be great."

Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "No, I'm not going. It's all about being exposed to bad things, causing me constant distress. Once that happens, I'll be stuck there for the rest of my life. I'm not doing that. I'd rather be happy every day."

Beibei shouted from the sofa, "Daddy, I want to ride the big horse too!"

Xiao Wei walked over and said, "Okay, Bei Bei will be the horse."

Beibei laughed and said, "No way, Beibei wants to ride a big horse."

Xiao Wei reached out as if to grab something: "You have to do it whether you like it or not. Let's see where you run."

Beibei screamed and jumped off the sofa, rushing towards Xiaohong: "Mommy, help! Daddy, grab me! No, I don't want to be a horse!"

Xiao Hong picked up Bei Bei, who was barefoot: "You're not wearing socks either. Aren't you going to the company today? Is everything alright?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm free today. I'll call if anything comes up. I don't want to move. I got obsessed with those meetings the other day."

This year, Xiaowei officially participated in political affairs, attending meetings continuously in March, April, and May, including CPPCC meetings, NPC meetings, research meetings, policy meetings, report meetings, and discussion meetings.

It made my head spin.

"I'm going to check on the brewery this afternoon. There's nothing important going on lately."

Xiaohong said, "Another batch of student grants is coming soon, aren't you going to apply?"

Xiao Wei said, "It doesn't really matter whether you follow it or not. Schools usually don't offer this kind of leave. Geng Hui can handle it."

Xiao Hong said, "The school won't. But usually, this matter ends up in the student council's hands, so it's hard to say."

Xiao Wei said, "We're investigating here too. How could the student council possibly extend their reach to our area? To Aunt Wang? Aren't you going back to the county?"

Xiaohong said, "I haven't decided yet. Elementary schools have already started, so I'm thinking of waiting until it's been running for a while before doing a crash course. As for the high school, it'd be good if it could be operational next year, so what's the point of looking at it?"
