Afternoon.
One o'clock.
"Second uncle and second aunt, I'm going back then."
"Sit down for a while, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Let's give it another day. You and my second aunt finally have a day off, so I won't bother you."
"If you want to leave, I'll find a car to take you back. You didn't drive when you came back, did you?"
"Don't bother me, uncle. I'm going to take a taxi. You can rest with my aunt."
"Okay, come and play when you have time. By the way, don't cause trouble recently. Do your job as deputy county magistrate in a down-to-earth manner. Your boy and the military have the same registration level as our old man. Now It was unheard of in the past, so just tell me how much noise you caused. People below may not know you, but there are many people above watching you, so be careful."
"Uh, okay, I'll try my best."
Mr. Xie also has the highest registration level
Khan, that's right, but Mr. Xie is at the highest level because of his previous status, while Dong Xuebin is also at the highest level because of what he has done, but the concepts are very different.
"It's better if you really listen. If there is anything you need to deal with, say hello to your second uncle next time. I'll do it for you if I can. You don't have to come forward." Xie Guojian might not have said this before. He would say that, but now that he has been transferred to the General Staff, Xie Guojian is more confident than before.
Dong Xuebin said: "Thank you, uncle."
Ci Lifen said: "Be careful on the way and don't bruise your wounds."
Dong Xuebin nodded, "I understand, Second Aunt, please go back too."
…
Dong Xuebin walked out of the family courtyard of his second uncle's house. After walking a long way, I finally reached a street. I grabbed a taxi and headed towards the one-bedroom apartment I rented.
North entrance of Heping Street.
Dong Xuebin's house, old building.
Opening the door with the key, Dong Xuebin pushed the door open and entered the house. He had not been to the house here for a long time. Aunt Xuan went to Fenzhou City to work again, and it had been too long since there was no one to clean up. There was dust everywhere in the house, and there was also a smell of moisture, which was not pleasant. Dong Xuebin quickly opened the window to smell it and looked at the familiar old furniture. Dong Xuebin simply rolled up his sleeve with one hand and held it. The rag tidied up the house. Dong Xuebin also has a villa in Beijing. With a swimming pool, it is very luxurious. But it's just luxurious. Dong Xuebin is a nostalgic person. After all, he and his mother have left too many memories here, which can never be left behind. Every time he comes back, Dong Xuebin will feel very quiet and comfortable in his heart. Thinking about himself The difficult days with my mother made me sigh with emotion for a while.
I'm cleaning the glass. The phone rang.
Shaking his dirty hands, Dong Xuebin looked at the number. It was Sister Xu Yanxu who called, so she pressed the answer button. and turned on the speakers.
"Hello, Sister Xu."
"Well, what are you doing?"
"Haha, I'm doing housework."
"You kid still knows how to do housework?"
"That's right. No one has lived in our old house for a long time. I came over to clean it up."
Then Xu Yan smiled and said, "I went to Port X and heard that you had a good time? Is this the case?"
Dong Xuebin sweated, "Do you know everything?"
"Lao Zhang arrived in Fuzhou and told me on the phone," Xu Yan said.
Dong Xuebin coughed and said: "I'm not too worried about Sister Zhang. You worried me so much when you wrote the threatening letter. That time, Sister Zhang cooked for me and provided me with a place to stay. She was so good to me. I'm so worried." People don’t like to owe others favors, so I went over without telling you.”
"Lao Zhang said that if you hadn't gone there this time, it would have been really dangerous. I heard that you were besieged by more than 20 people?"
"Well, they're all little punks."
"Have you also settled the funds for Lao Zhang's company?"
"Well, by the way, I won 'a little' in the casino."
"Sister, I won't say more. Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? Sister Zhang has already thanked me. It's a trivial matter."
"Lao Zhang is my old classmate. If you go to help her, you are also giving face to the elder sister. Of course, I want to thank you. Of course, I have to criticize you. Why are you running around with broken bones all over your body? Are you going to fight with others?" After listening to what Lao Zhang said to the eldest sister, the eldest sister was really worried about you. "
"Oh, I'm back." Dong Xuebin quickly changed the topic and boldly said: "By the way, you said you wanted to thank me, how can you thank me?"
"Haha, how do you want to thank me, eldest sister?"
"Ahem, thank you so much. Anyway, I will look for you when I get back."
"You are just as big as my eldest sister." Xu Yan said helplessly: "Don't talk about it being useless, how many more days are you going to stay with the capital? Are you leaving today?"
"No, let's talk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Then just wait for eldest sister, I'll be there soon."
"Ah? You're here? What are you doing here at this hour?"
"Already on the way. My eldest sister has a day off today and will take leave tomorrow. She just happens to go to the capital to discuss the custody issue of Chaochao with my ex-husband. My son also wants to follow me in the future. Let's go to the court then. I want to win over Chaochao’s custody.”
"Well, Chaochao should definitely follow you."
"So after eldest sister finishes her work, I'll stop by to see you."
"Sure, do you want to come to my place for dinner? If you want to eat, I will go there?"
"Okay, let's eat. Sister, I'll do some work first. I'll be there around six o'clock."
"Okay, then I'll text you my home address later."
"Okay, I'm driving the car, so let's not talk about it for now. See you later."
After hanging up the line, Dong Xuebin sent the address editing text message to Sister Xu's mobile phone. Then he put down the mobile phone and continued to work. This time he worked more seriously. Although one hand was a little slow, Dong Xuebin still moved the kitchen The bathroom, bedroom and other places are all kept clean. Xu Yan will be coming over soon. Dong Xuebin can't be dirty when receiving people at home. By the way, the quilt also needs to be changed.
Find a quilt.
Turn the sheets.
Dry the quilt.
Drying sheets.
Two hours have passed, and Dong Xuebin is busy with his work.
Looking at the watch, it was five o'clock in the afternoon. Dong Xuebin went out to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The old vegetable market was still there, and it looked very friendly.
"Hey, Xue Bin!" said a woman carrying a vegetable basket.
When she shouted like this, several old men and women who came to buy vegetables next to her also recognized Dong Xuebin, "Hey, isn't this a boy from Xiaoping's family?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, Grandma Chen, Grandpa Zhang."
They are all old neighbors in the past, and they are familiar with each other on the street.
Aunt Liu immediately walked up with a smile, "When did Xue Bin come back?"
"I just came back, why don't I go out and buy some food to cook myself, haha." Dong Xuebin said.
Aunt Liu said with a smile on her face: "I heard that you are a big leader now, why do you still cook by yourself?"
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "My wife is not around, so I usually cook it myself. Now the prices have gone up. Restaurants outside are too expensive, and buying food is a little cheaper." This guy still knows how to keep a low profile, and Dong Xuebin He is not the kind of person who can spend money. Even if he is rich, he still knows how to save money. He is fine with his mother and wife. Dong Xuebin doesn't feel bad about buying anything, but every time it is Dong Xuebin's turn to eat by himself, He rarely goes to big places. He always finds a small restaurant that is delicious and not too expensive. Otherwise, he cooks and eats by himself. He spends what he should spend and what he shouldn't spend if he can. Necessary, not because Dong Xuebin is stingy, he thinks it is an attitude towards life. As for buying a Mercedes-Benz, a Porsche or a Land Rover, it is actually just to save face.
Aunt Liu pulled him and said, "Xuebin, let's go to Aunt Liu's house to eat."
"Thank you Aunt Liu, how about another day?" Dong Xuebin couldn't resist Aunt Liu's enthusiasm.
"Let's go." Aunt Liu deliberately said sternly, "You don't want to give Auntie face, do you?"
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said: "No, I mainly have a guest tonight, otherwise I would definitely go."
Aunt Liu suddenly realized and said: "Oh, forget it if there are guests, they must be big leaders, right?"
Grandma Chen next to her said: "That's for sure. I heard Yunxuan's mother say, what kind of county magistrate is Xiaobin now? How old is Xiaobin? Will he be able to do it in the future?"
Dong Xuebin quickly corrected: "Deputy, deputy."
Aunt Liu said: "The deputy is also the county magistrate. I thought at the beginning that Xiao Bin was definitely not a creature in the pool. Did you see that? He is really capable."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Don't belittle me, I'm just a small cadre."
"Not young, not young. That old Xu who moved away before was a section chief after working all his life. He is already in his forties or fifties, right? What about you? You are only twenty-five or twenty-six and you are already the deputy director, and you are still the county magistrate. , Haha, this is a case of comparing people to death. If Section Chief Xu knows, he will be angry to death. "Aunt Liu relished, "Lao Xu and his child Xiaodong were also blind at the time, so they had to offend you. Look down on us Xue Bin, how about now? One is in the sky and the other is in the earth.”
"It's not easy for Chief Xu's family," Dong Xuebin said.
"Xuebin, please stop talking to them." Aunt Liu curled her lips.
"Yes, that family member is a snobbery. The leader looked at us like ants and regarded himself as the central leader. Then look at our Xue Bin, who is much higher than Lao Xu, but He has no airs at all, this man is incomparable!”
"Xuebin is sensible."
"Xiaoping is really good at educating children."
"That's right. I have to ask Xiaoping for advice tomorrow when she comes back. My child is disobedient. I don't expect him to be like Xuebin in the future, but at least he is a good person."
Xiaodong…
Section Chief Xu…
The past things are still vivid in his mind. Now thinking about the time when he just took the civil service examination, Dong Xuebin has no feelings for Chief Xu’s family. On the contrary, he finds it very interesting. He has experienced more things and is getting older day by day. You will always become more tolerant.
Neighbors are very welcoming.
Dong Xuebin was shopping for groceries while chatting with his old neighbors. He hadn’t been back for a long time. To be honest, Dong Xuebin missed everyone a lot. He felt very friendly when he looked at every acquaintance. This meal After wandering around the market, it took him more than an hour to chat. (To be continued)RQ
