When I went out of the county bureau gate, someone suddenly called Dong Xuebin's name behind me. When I looked back, it was Hu Silian, the office director. Hu Silian smiled and pushed an electric bicycle to greet her, "Director Dong, let's go back to the building together, along the way." She was still very attentive. She knew that Dong Xuebin had just arrived and didn't know the situation here, so he might not be able to find him. When I get there, I say, "Put your luggage in my car too. This basket is strong and can withstand it." "
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "How can I be so embarrassed? You are still riding a bicycle. I can't let you walk with me."
Hu Silian kicked off the car and reached out to pick up Dong Xuebin's suitcase, "It's not far away, it's okay. By the way, the bureau leaders are not here and we haven't prepared your reception banquet. Otherwise, why don't you give me a favor tonight and make do with my family? Haha "My wife's cooking skills are quite good." As the office director, "Hu Silian's political wisdom is obviously higher than that of Dong Xuebin. At first, Dong Xuebin's position was similar to Hu Silian's." He was mainly responsible for logistics, but Dong Xuebin is too temperamental. "Chong" offends people everywhere, but Hu Silian is obviously the opposite of Dong Xuebin. She can't offend anyone. She can get along with any leader in terms of face. Of course, there are certain advantages of women in it.
Dong Xuebin said: "Don't bother me. I'll have a chance another day." I have to go to Huitian Township to see my mother in the evening. "
Hu Silian was stunned. Elder Dong Mei's family is also from Yantai County? She really doesn't know this.
County bureau family building.
This is a community that is about ten or twenty years old. The houses are not very new, but they are still passable. After Hu Silian took Dong Xuebin upstairs and opened the door, he was speechless and discovered that there was something special inside. The decoration of this two-bedroom apartment was very particular, and the home furnishings were all available, including an LCD TV and a fully automatic front-loading washing machine. Air conditioning, everything you need, almost as good as a standard hotel room.
As soon as Hu Silian left, Dong Xuebin put down his luggage and lay down on the big double bed in the bedroom. The grassroots level is the grassroots level. You don’t have to pay as much attention to the impact of many things as in Beijing. My current living conditions are probably better than those of deputy Xu Yan. The department-level leaders are even more superior. By the way, when the time comes, I will take my mother over to live with her. After working hard for most of her life, it is time for her to enjoy peace and happiness.
Dong Xuebin picked up the phone and called the countryside.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" A woman's voice came from the other side. "I couldn't tell who it was."
Dong Xuebin said: "I am Dong Xuebin." Is my mother here? "
"It's you." She said "..., please wait a moment... Xiaoping... Xiaoping... your son's phone number!" "After a while, my mother Luan Xiaoping's voice rang out, "Xiao Bin? Why did you call home? "My son always calls her at the rural middle school, and rarely calls her home.
Dong Xuebin frowned, "Mom," who answered the phone just now? ", "It's your aunt. "
"Huh, she still hasn't changed after so many years. Her tone sounded like I owed her money.
"What are you talking about?" Your aunt actually feels sorry for you. "
"Mom, please stop looking for money for them. We both know their different personalities." When his father was critically ill, Dong Xuebin and his mother had borrowed money from their family, but their uncle and aunt were still together. I didn't give them any money. However, my second aunt's family had not been in good condition and had spent all their savings. This incident immediately made Dong Xuebin feel cold to his mother's relatives. In addition, he never had much contact with her, so The relationship between the family was very tense. During the holidays, Dong Xuebin would not even say hello to other elders except calling his second aunt and uncle to say hello.
"Xiao Bin, are you okay? Mom is washing vegetables, or else I'll call you later?"
"Why are you washing the vegetables again? You have been working all day. My aunt and the others are all idle at home. Why do you do the washing?" What are you doing?" "Mom, you are too honest, you shouldn't do it!"
"Mom knows how to do it" just leave it alone. "
Every time I talk about something about my mother's family, Dong Xuebin gets angry." He sat up from his bed and said, "I'm in Yantai County. I'll take the car to your place later. ","Eh? Why are you here when you're not at work? "
"Something happened. I'll tell you when we meet. I'll go over now." "You haven't eaten yet? Then I'll call your second aunt's family and we'll wait for you to eat." Luan Xiaoping said during the last Chinese New Year I mentioned it to Dong Xuebin once, "Now my son is willing to go home. Luan Xiaoping is very happy, thinking that her son has specially asked for leave to come back for a visit."
I got on a long-distance bus and arrived at Huitian Township.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw his mother Luan Xiaoping waiting for him there. Dong Xuebin complained: "Why are you even here? What's going to happen at night?" The security here is not as good as in the capital. "Who is at home? Have my second aunt, second uncle, and sister arrived? "
Luan Xiaoping smiled and said: "Your sister is working overtime today. She will come back as soon as we talk. Everyone else is here."
Dong Xuebin held his mother's hand and said, "Okay, let's go over there." Look at your feet. "," Haha, Mom's eyesight is fine, she doesn't need help. Luan Xiaoping patted her son's Nian happily and led the way.
You can see the jujube tree in the small courtyard of your hometown. Suddenly, several young people came from the opposite side swaying and swaying. Some were holding cheap cigarettes that cost one or two yuan a pack, and some were humming. Humming a mountain song, some people looked at Dong Xuebin and Luan Xiaoping unscrupulously.
Luan Xiaoping took a look, quickly pulled her son away, and lowered her head slightly.
Dong Xuebin looked at them coldly, "Mom, what do these people do? Why are you afraid of them?"
"Our Yantai County produces gold. These are the hooligans hired by the mines. They usually live in the countryside. They steal other people's vegetable fields, molest other people's girls, and do all kinds of bad things." Seeing the hooligans walking away, Luan Xiaoping I was relieved. "Xiao Bin, stay away from them when you see them in the future." These people are not to be messed with. I heard that they have a good relationship with the [police] at the township police station. Our family has grown sweet potatoes several times in front of our eyes. It looks like I was dug up by this gang, but I called the police.” The police didn’t care. "
"Khan" wants me to hide from them? "
"Listen to mom, your job is in Beijing, so you are of no use here. You can't screw them."
Dong Xuebin is a little funny, calling me, the deputy director of the county bureau, hiding from the gangsters? Are you kidding me
Dong Xuebin, the son of the small courtyard here, has been here several times many years ago. "Apart from the fact that the jujube trees have grown a little taller, nothing else has changed much. I walked over on the yellow soil and pushed open the large iron gate hung with red paint." "Luan Xiaoping and Dong Xuebin walked into the courtyard, looking for a lighted earth-tile house and stepped into the house. They glanced at "The whole family is here, including the elderly grandma, uncle and aunt, aunt and uncle." The second aunt and uncle, only the younger sister and a few children of the younger generation were not there.
Dong Xuebin doesn't like anyone except his second aunt and his family, but I still have to give him my mother's face." He called them one by one.
The uncle and aunt were both a bit indifferent. After all, Dong Xuebin had slapped the table with them and glared at them before, and they all held grudges. Only the second aunt and uncle came forward with a smile. The second aunt took Dong Xuebin's hand and looked at him up and down. She couldn't help but nodded her head, "Xiao Bin is getting more and more energetic as he grows. Look, he is taller than me." He's got a big head, come on, "Sit down, sit down, let's get ready to eat."
Dong Xuebin really misses his second aunt." "Second aunt, you are getting younger and younger. How is your health lately? ", "It's okay, haha. "
The second uncle smiled and said, "I heard from your mother that you are now a leader in the agency?" Dong Xuebin took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and gave one to the second uncle, "Hey, you are fooling around, you smoke." "The second uncle glanced at the cigarette box with slanderous eyes. "Oh, these are good cigarettes." When the uncle saw that Dong Xuebin didn't give him a cigarette, he frowned and said, "The leaders of the National Security Bureau are not worth much. He is said to be the deputy director, but he doesn't have much real power. "My aunt smiled and said: "That's right, it's still the grassroots officials who benefit from it. "
Dong Xuebin turned his head to look at them.
Luan Xiaoping was very unhappy to hear them belittle her son like this." But those were her brother and sister-in-law, and she couldn't say anything.
The second aunt said, "You can't say that." Xiaobin is so young, and his future is limitless.
The aunt also looked down on Dong Xuebin and curled her lips, "The old lady is also hungry. Let's eat without waiting for Xiaojin." "
The reason why the aunt and uncle treat Dong Xuebin like this is that there was some unpleasantness at the beginning, and secondly, Dong Xuebin's official position is in Guoan after all, and he is in Beijing. Where is the capital? It is a political center, with a large number of cadres. In addition, it is a very closed department like the National Security Bureau, and the value of the deputy department is extremely low. Basically no one recognizes them outside their unit, so everyone is hearing about Luan Xiaoping’s son. After taking up the minor subject, I didn't become more enthusiastic. "It's still the same as before."
This meal made Dong Xuebin very angry.
"Not only because of the attitude of several relatives and elders towards me" but also because of their attitude towards my mother!
Luan Xiaoping seems to be a nanny in the family. Whether it's cooking, serving dishes, or pouring water, it's all her mother's job. Even washing the chopsticks and dishes after eating is the job of her mother and her second aunt. My mother was not in good health. After a day of teaching at the rural middle school, she had to do this and that when she came back. However, my aunt, who had no work and stayed at home all day, did not do any work at all and was content with eating and drinking. Watching TV with my aunt, too lazy to act like a pig.
Seeing that her son was about to get angry, Luan Xiaoping hurriedly smiled and said, "Xiao Bin, you've also traveled all day" and went to the house to rest for a while. "
Dong Xuebin said coldly, "Ziyan's aunt and aunt's family." Just as he was about to say something, bang, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
Tang Jin, the daughter of the second aunt and uncle and Dong Xuebin's cousin, wiped away her tears and ran into the house, "Woo hoo..."
"Long time no see." Dong Xuebin almost didn't recognize him, "Are you Xiaojin?" Is it Xiaojin? What's wrong? Who bullied you! ? ",
