It’s Chinese New Year.
Today is New Year's Eve, and people in Beijing are used to calling it New Year's Eve.
The crackling firecrackers outside were deafening, and the streets were filled with the joy of the Spring Festival. Dong Xuebin's mood was also like the Chinese New Year. Ever since he learned that his deputy department was appointed yesterday, he couldn't wait to sleep happily. That was so happy. He posted a red couplet on the door of his house and corrected the word "Fu" on the front door. Dong Xuebin turned around and went back to the house. After washing his hands, he started making dumplings stuffed with bread and chives in the living room.
The only regret is that this year’s Spring Festival is still so deserted.
Aunt Xuan is not married yet, so she will naturally have to go back to her parents' place during the Chinese New Year. She seems to be going to her grandparents' house. Because her family is relatively large, Aunt Xuan went over to prepare meals yesterday morning and will probably come back after the Chinese New Year. Mom was on her way to Beijing, and the car hadn't arrived yet, so Dong Xuebin could only rub his face alone.
Ring, ring, ring, the phone rang. Dong Xuebin didn’t recognize the number, so he picked it up and said hello.
"Director Xiao Dong, I am Lao Yan, haha, I wish you a happy new year and wish you a better career."
Dong Xuebin was stunned, "...Have a good New Year. Have a good New Year."
Lao Yan said a few words and then hung up. Dong Xuebin then remembered that he was no better than before. Not only did people pay New Year's greetings, but he also had to pay New Year's greetings to the leaders. People who entered the National Security Family Hospital were not just casual. He had just been promoted to deputy department. There must be a lot of gossip, and it is impossible to go there carelessly with things. The situation here is a bit different from other agencies, so after thinking about it, Dong Xuebin quickly picked up the phone and called Zhen Anguo, Xu Yan and other leaders pay a New Year call.
"Director Xu, Xiaodong wishes you a happy New Year. Thank you for your constant care and concern. I will continue to follow the leadership's footsteps in the next year. If you go east, I will go east. If you go north, I will go. Go north…”
"Happy New Year, Director Zhen. I wish you success in your work and advancement, and all your wishes come true..."
In the end, Xie Huilan even called Xie Huilan, and there were no surprises. Xie Huilan's phone number was the most difficult to call among all leaders. Director Xu was called twice, and Director Zhen was called four times. But what about Xie Huilan? ? I called eighteen times, all of them were on the phone. It was the nineteenth time that Xie Huilan's magnetic voice came over there. You can tell me how many people were wishing her New Year's greetings, and it's not the time yet. The peak of New Year greetings on the phone.
After paying New Year's greetings to his leaders, Dong Xuebin continued to roll out dumpling wrappers.
Ring ring ring, the phone rang.
It was Tan Limei calling, "Hee hee, Happy New Year, Director Dong. I sincerely wish you happiness every year."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Thank you, and I also wish you and Comrade Sun Zhuang happiness." As a native, he spoke more casually.
"Thank you, Director Dong, for your blessing. Hey, why is it so quiet over there? Are you alone?"
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Tan, which pot are you not picking up? Haha, my mother is coming soon, and we are the two of us this year. No, I am a big man making dumplings. "
"Oh, how can that be done? Then Zhuangzi and I will go over and help you."
"Come on, I accept your wish."
"Our family just got together for dinner in the evening. It's okay now. If there is no inconvenience to you, I will go over there? Ahem, actually, Zhuangzi and I have something to ask you. We planned to go there on New Year's Day."
When Dong Xuebin heard this, he did not refuse, "Okay, come and eat."
As soon as I put down the phone, ding dong, ding dong, the doorbell rang softly.
Dong Xuebin thought his mother had arrived, so he walked over and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it was Guo Panwei standing outside the door. He was holding two large bags and said with a smile on his face: "Happy New Year, Director Dong. I brought you something. I won't go in. You are busy with your work." , you are busy with your work." Logically speaking, New Year greetings to leaders usually take place on the first, second, or third day of the lunar month, but Guo Panwei knew the situation of Director Xiao Dong's family. There must not be many relatives in the family to celebrate the New Year, so he wanted to come and see what was going on. Can help.
Dong Xuebin chuckled and said, "Come on, come on. What else can you get? Come in quickly."
Guo Panwei looked inside hesitantly, "Is this... appropriate?"
"It's suitable. I'm the only one at home. My mother won't be here until later. Let's sit in the room."
"Hey, I'll interrupt you then."
…
Outside the building.
Mom Luan Xiaoping walked into the community in a dusty way, looking at the red lanterns hanging high on the windows of every house, and watching several children laughing and lighting firecrackers. Luan Xiaoping showed a knowing smile, since her son entered the institution In the next few months, she didn't bother to go home. Now that she could finally see her son, she was naturally happy. However, there are worries. Luan Xiaoping knew that she had a weak temper and couldn't help but burst into tears whenever something happened. Her son was sensible, so she didn't tell her many troubles, for fear that she would miss him. Alas, she didn't know what Xuebin was doing with the agency. Well, I always say it's very good, very good, but I don't know if it's really good or fake.
"Hey, isn't this Sister Luan?" An old neighbor said hello: "Have a good New Year."
Luan Xiaoping smiled at her and said, "Happy New Year. How is the child? Has he graduated from college?"
The man said: "I graduated and found a job. The salary is not high, so I can just do it. It's not as good as your Xiao Bin."
Luan Xiaoping felt very satisfied, but she still said: "Our family Xuebin's salary is not much. He is a small section member, and three thousand yuan is too much. He just gets something for energy saving during the New Year."
The neighbor's eldest sister exclaimed, "That's not right. Didn't your Xiaobin get promoted?"
Luan Xiaoping was stunned and said amusedly: "What kind of official position has he been promoted to? His probation period as a civil servant has not yet passed."
The eldest sister said: "But I heard everyone said that? Oh, maybe there is a mistake, haha, then Xiao Bin is also capable. He took away Section Chief Xu with his nostrils in the sky and entrusted the house to him. The agent rented it out, and now the couple living with Lu Bei, who sells clothes, was stunned again, Section Chief Xu? That high-ranking official who lives upstairs in her house? Xiao Bin was taken away? What's the meaning? How could Xiaobin take someone away? But before she could ask anything, the neighbor's eldest sister said, "My relatives are here. I'll go out to pick them up at the door. I'll drop by when I have time."
Full of suspicion, Luan Xiaoping walked into the corridor of a unit, and the sound of firecrackers shook her eardrums.
Click, click, Luan Xiaoping took the key and opened the door, "Xuebin, mom is here."
"Mom, why are you so late? Is there a traffic jam?"
"The train is late."
"Are you an aunt? Hello aunt, I wish you a happy new year."
To Luan Xiaoping's surprise, there were two people sitting in the room. In addition to her son, whom she had not seen for several months, there was also a man in his thirties. His expression was not sharp and he looked like he worked in an agency. Luan Xiaoping took off her coat and hung it aside, then entered the room and said, "Are you Xue Bin's colleague? Happy New Year to you too." She didn't understand why a colleague from her son's work unit came to visit today. When she saw that the man didn't even have a cup on the table, Luan Xiaoping looked at her son reproachfully and said, "My colleague is here, but I don't know how to pour him tea." She went over to pour water as she spoke.
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "He also just entered the house."
Guo Panwei stood up hurriedly and said: "Auntie, please stop being busy. I will do it by myself. I will do it by myself."
Guo Panwei rushed to pick up the electric kettle and filled it not only for Luan Xiaoping but also for Dong Xuebin.
Luan Xiaoping was startled when she saw this, and thought to herself, this person is too polite. You are all clerks in the same office, why are you pouring water for my son? You are much older than my son. After taking the tea cup and thanking him, Luan Xiaoping looked at him and said, "... How should I call you?"
Guo Panwei sat half-assed on the sofa and said respectfully: "Guo Panwei, auntie, just call me Xiao Guo."
"Oh, you also work in the General Office?"
"yes."
Seeing his cautious look, Luan Xiaoping was a little speechless, thinking to herself, am I so scary? The children in the rural middle school always said that I looked gentle. Why were you so reserved when I came here? Luan Xiaoping sat down next to the sofa, "Don't be so polite. When you get here, it's just like coming to your own home. Are you busy with work recently?" She asked, having nothing to say.
Guo Panwei straightened his back and said, "It's the Spring Festival, so I'm busier than usual."
Luan Xiaoping said, "How is our Xuebin doing with the unit? He didn't get scolded by the leader, right? He's such a kid, he won't tell me anything."
Guo Panwei was stunned, "... scolded? Auntie, who dares to scold Director Dong." Guo Panwei said to himself, someone dared to scold Director Dong, Zhou Guoan scolded, Guo Shunjie scolded, but in the end both of them were scolded. The Discipline Inspection Commission went to invite him to tea, but he never came back. From then on, who didn’t think carefully before scolding Director Xiao Dong
Now it was Luan Xiaoping's turn to be stunned, "Director Dong? What Director Dong?"
Guo Panwei exclaimed, "You don't know?"
"What do I know?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and patted the back of the old woman's hand, "Mom, you haven't come back to the village, so I didn't say anything. I thought I'd tell you face to face, so I already mentioned it to the deputy director of the General Affairs Office, and also entered Party, by the way, the appointment of the deputy department came down yesterday, and I can barely count as a cadre. "I didn't say anything just to give my mother a surprise. Seeing my mother's dumbfounded look, Dong Xuebin was very satisfied.
"What?" Luan Xiaoping asked in astonishment: "Did you take a minor subject?"
Guo Panwei hurriedly shouted: "Auntie, ever since Director Dong entered the agency, he has achieved so many achievements that he can't even count them. Director Dong can do everything that others can't do, and there is nothing that Director Dong can't solve." If you want to see the difficulty, Director Dong will not mention the deputy department, but directly mention the main department... No... no one will gossip if he directly mentions the deputy department. It's too normal. "
Luan Xiaoping still didn't react. What's the result? Doesn’t his son know it yet? He has been clumsy since childhood, what achievements can he achieve? It'll be good as long as it doesn't cause any trouble.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Mom, there will be people coming later. Let's make dumplings. The ones I made don't look very good."
"Let me come, let me come." Guo Panwei volunteered and ran to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he moved the dough and fillings rolled out by Dong Xuebin to the kitchen. "Director Dong, Auntie hasn't been back for a long time, don't bother me. While you two are talking, I’ll go to the kitchen to make dumplings.”
Dong Xuebin stopped him and said, "Panwei, stop being busy and sit down for a while."
"It's okay. I came here today just to see if there is anything I can do to help you. I may not be as good-looking as you and auntie, but I can barely make it."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Look at you, I came all the way here and still kept you busy."
"It should."
Mother Luan Xiaoping grabbed her son's hand and said, "Xuebin, are you really an official?"
"Of course."
"Didn't you find a colleague to collude with you to defraud ***?"
"Halo, why did I lie to you?"
Luan Xiaoping still didn't believe it. How could it be possible? How could his son be so capable? Just when she was about to ask him to take out his work permit and show it to her, the doorbell rang. Luan Xiaoping was closer to the door. She swallowed the words on her lips. She got up and went to open the door. Standing outside the door were a man and a woman. The man was Tall and fat, the female is small and exquisite.
"You are?"
Tan Limei said with a smile on her face: "Auntie, you must be Director Dong's mother. Hello, I wish you a happy New Year."
Sun Zhuang on the side also said naively: "Happy New Year, aunt."
Hearing them call her son Director Dong again, Luan Xiaoping now had to believe it even if she didn't believe it. She opened the door and let them in.
As soon as they entered the house, Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang put the things they had brought with them in the hallway. A few red Chinese knots and some fruits could be vaguely seen inside. Oh, and there seemed to be two Chinese cigarettes. Luan Xiaoping was shocked when she saw it. Even if he didn't smoke, he knew the price of Zhonghua and wondered how much it would cost. Then Tan Limei smiled and said to Dong Xuebin on the sofa: "Director Dong, I'm here to make dumplings for you."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Pan Wei is working with the kitchen."
Tan Limei sighed, "Brother Guo is here too? Then there is no chance for me to show off? How can this be done? No, no, no, I have to find something to do." She stretched her neck and looked around, and finally she was generous Fang Di took Luan Xiaoping's hand and said, "Auntie, I just learned some massage techniques from my mother recently. Let me rub your shoulders."
Luan Xiaoping had never been treated like this before. She waved her hands hastily: "No, no, no."
"Hey, I guarantee that you will be satisfied with my skills. Auntie, can you give me a chance to show off?" Sun Zhuang is not very good at talking, and Tan Limei has a sweet mouth. With a few words, Luan Xiaoping was coaxed to sit on the sofa. Tan Limei started to pat her back and squeeze her shoulders like a biological daughter. While squeezing, she praised her: "Auntie, your skin is so good. We young people can't compare to you."
Luan Xiaoping smiled and said: "No way, I am almost fifty, how can I compare with you?"
"Oh, you are almost fifty? It doesn't look like that. I think you thought you were forty."
Luan Xiaoping had never been complimented like this before, and the smile on her face suddenly grew, "Girl, are you tired? Sit down and drink some water, and Auntie will make you tea."
Tan Limei worked very hard, "You're not tired, I haven't beaten your legs yet."
Sun Zhuang was not idle either. He took a broom and started cleaning his house.
Dong Xuebin doesn't know what's going on with these two today. Is this too enthusiastic? And just to say New Year's greetings and still get so many things? By the way, they said on the phone that they had something to ask of themselves. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin didn't stop them. My mother has worked hard for most of her life. Now that she has little power, it's time for her to enjoy the blessings.
Luan Xiaoping's back was squeezed very comfortably by Tan Limei, not only physically, but also psychologically. Only now did she believe that her son was really a leader. Look, there were people bringing things and tea. Some people are making dumplings for them, others are squeezing their shoulders, and others are sweeping and mopping the floor. When has their family ever enjoyed this kind of treatment? Alas, my son is promising, his son is capable
Half an hour later.
Guo Panwei walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, "Director Dong, Auntie, the dumplings are ready."
Luan Xiaoping apologized and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come and sit down and eat some fruit." She lowered her head and glanced at Tan Limei, who was beating her legs. Luan Xiaoping quickly helped her up and said, "My dear, you are tired, so stop being busy." , get up, Auntie will cook for you, and you’ll have lunch here.”
Guo Panwei said: "No, if you don't have any other work here, I won't bother you."
Tan Limei looked at Guo Panwei and said, "We are going back too."
Luan Xiaoping was so happy to know that her son had been promoted that she would not let them go. "It's time to have lunch soon. Stay here while Auntie cooks two dishes."
Guo Panwei and Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang both looked at Dong Xuebin. Of course they also wanted to stay. This is not a matter of a meal, but an attitude. Only people who the leader absolutely trusts will be invited to dine with their families. What’s more, What's more, it's lunch on New Year's Eve. What kind of trust is it to be able to celebrate the New Year with the leader's family
Dong Xuebin waved his hand, "If there are people having dinner at home, it's okay. Family is more important during the Chinese New Year. If you have nothing to do, just stay and eat. We are all our own people, so there is no need to pay attention to it." After saying this, Dong Xuebin I feel a little complacent, hey, my buddy is becoming more and more leadership-like.
Seeing her son behave like a superior person, Luan Xiaoping was extremely pleased and felt a touch of pride.
Guo Panwei was a little confused by Dong Xuebin's words that he was one of his own. He knew that the original grudge between himself and Director Xiao Dong had been eliminated, so there was no way he could leave. "...Then I'll help auntie wash the vegetables."
Tan Limei also said: "I will help auntie."
Sun Zhuang said stupidly, "I... will also help auntie."
Dumplings were eaten in the evening, and we made some home-cooked dishes at noon.
After the meal, Guo Panwei helped Luan Xiaoping clean up the bowls and chopsticks before saying goodbye and going back. This time Luan Xiaoping did not stop her, knowing that no one was idle during the New Year, but Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang did not leave, waiting for Guo Panwei As soon as he went out, Sun Zhuang hesitated as if he wanted to say something. Tan Limei opened her mouth but said nothing. She simply ran to Luan Xiaoping again and beat her on the back and squeezed her legs very hard.
Luan Xiaoping, no matter how stupid she was, could see it, "Daughter, do you two have something to do with Xue Bin?"
Tan Limei coughed awkwardly, "Well, we...we have something to ask Director Dong, but we are too embarrassed to ask. It's the Chinese New Year, so we shouldn't talk about this in the first place. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for the leader?" Chinese New Year means giving gifts and asking for help. When doing business, I usually don’t say anything at this time, unless it’s urgent.
Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "Just tell me if you have something to say. When did you become so coquettish?"
Tan Limei glanced at Sun Zhuang and winked at him. Sun Zhuang's face turned a little red. After holding it in for a long time, he still didn't feel embarrassed to speak, so he winked at Tan Limei again. Tan Limei was so angry that she glared at him, and then said to Dong Xuebin: "Director Dong, Sun Zhuang and I have to separate the department because we are in love. The staff was tight a while ago, and there was no allocation from above. But Director Li Qing just talked to Sun Zhuang yesterday and said that he was going to be transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission. "
Dong Xuebin blinked, Discipline Inspection Commission? It's not bad, at least it's better than the archives.
Tan Limei looked at Dong Xuebin's face and said tentatively: "You also know the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission... I'm afraid..."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Okay, just tell me which department you want to go to."
Luan Xiaoping and others were shocked as they listened. What do you mean by this? Can he be transferred to any department you want to go to? Is his son so capable
Sun Zhuang finally said: "I think the work of the Political Department... um... if it can be done there..." The Political Department is of course a popular department in the branch. It is responsible for inspecting cadres. Everyone wants to go, but not everyone wants to go. Can get in.
Dong Xuebin thought for a while, "Okay, I'll ask you after the New Year. The problem shouldn't be big." He now has a good relationship with the leaders above, so this matter is not a big deal.
When Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang heard this, they hurriedly thanked them.
Before leaving, Dong Xuebin rummaged through the things they brought in the aisle and said, "Keep the fruits, keep the Chinese knots, and take the cigarettes back."
Tan Limei hurriedly said: "Director Dong, you have done Sun Zhuang such a big favor, how can we..."
Dong Xuebin waved his hand, "Isn't it just a small thing? I don't smoke? For the New Year, take it home and give it to your elders. By the way, you two wait." Dong Xuebin took out a bottle of Maotai from a cabinet. When the wine came, he put it into Sun Zhuang's hand with a smile, "I don't drink this as a gift. You two can take it back and think of it as helping me solve the problem." When I had no status, I was depressed about why no one gave me gifts. , now that he has status, Dong Xuebin is depressed about what to do with so many gifts.
Tan Limei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Director Dong..."
"Stop inking and go home to celebrate the New Year."
Luan Xiaoping looked at the bottle of Maotai distressedly and said, "Take it, Xuebin doesn't drink."
"Then...thank you, Director Dong." Helpless, they both had no choice but to accept it.
After exiting the corridor of Dong Xuebin's house, Tan Limei glanced at the Maotai in Zhuanzi's hand and sighed: "We asked Director Binzi to do something, but not only did he not take the gift, but he also took his things. What do you call this? What’s the matter?”
Sun Zhuang said: "Binzi is a very nice person."
Tan Limei sighed and said: "Yes, I have never seen such a good leader. I don't know how Director Binzi treats others. I know that he really doesn't talk to his subordinates. I still remember that time when Guo Shunjie framed Binzi. What's the matter between the director and me and Sister Chang? If Director Binzi hadn't taken over all the responsibilities of me and Sister Chang, we would have suffered. Alas, where can we find such a good leader? "
