In the room, everyone was digesting Dong Xuebin's appointment as deputy director.
Seeing Tang Jin hugging him and spinning around, Dong Xuebin pulled her away in a funny way and rubbed the hair on her head, "You were naughty when you were a child. You climbed houses and trees. You were more of a boy than a boy. Now you are so old. Why are you so naughty? "Tang Jin never went to college. She started working after high school. Now she works in a factory that makes leather bags and schoolbags in the countryside. She is not much younger than Dong Xuebin.
Tang Jin chuckled, "I'm just happy. When has our family ever had such a big official?" "
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "With only a department level, he is still the last deputy director in the county bureau. How can he be considered a high-ranking official?"
Tang Jin said with a playful smile: "Isn't this big? How many people have you seen who became deputy directors in their early twenties? Cousin, you won't leave in the future, right? Just develop in Yantai? Great! "
Dong Xuebin said: "I guess I won't be able to move in a year or two. I don't know in the future."
The second aunt saw her daughter chirping and pestering Dong Xuebin, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Jin, your cousin has had a hard day, don't be ignorant." Let your cousin rest for a while. By the way, your cousin helped you punish those little gangsters. , why can’t you even say thank you? "Knowing that Dong Xuebin had become a big leader, the second aunt suddenly became a little cautious. Seeing that the water in Dong Xuebin's cup was empty, she picked up a green plastic thermos and went to fill it with water.
Tang Jing said: "Thank you, cousin."
"You're welcome." After saying this, Dong Xuebin quickly stopped the second aunt who was about to pour water, grabbed the thermos, and poured a glass of water for her and the second uncle respectively, "Second aunt, don't be polite to me. As a family, if I don’t stand up for Xiao Jin, who will stand up for her? When my father was critically ill, you took out all your savings and lent them to my family. I will remember this for the rest of my life. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. ”
The second aunt felt warm in her heart and smiled happily: "It's only tens of thousands of dollars." Dong Xuebin deliberately brought up the old things. The uncle and aunt looked a little embarrassed. When Luan Xiaoping's family reached out to them, they knew that Dong Xuebin's father's illness was a bottomless pit, and no amount of money was enough to spend, so they didn't lend them a penny.
Za Xiaoping was kind-hearted and didn't want her son to get into trouble with his family, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Xiao Bin, you don't have a place to live in the county, right? Then you might as well live in the countryside. Anyway, the county is not far from here. When the time comes, You buy a motorcycle and work from here. It’s not worthwhile to stay in a hotel.” Dong Xuebin pulled his mother to sit down, “Mom,” I’m a leader after all. How can I have no place to stay? I just went to report in the morning, and the house came down in the afternoon. It's a two-bedroom apartment with all the furniture and electrical appliances. It looks better than an average hotel. "
The aunt exclaimed, "Have they all been allocated a house?", and the eldest uncle glared at her, "What a fuss, Xiaobin is such a big official, of course the higher ups have to arrange a house."
Dong Xuebin didn't want to deal with anyone except his second aunt's family, but his mother's face was still there after all, so he said absently: "I live here temporarily. If the position is changed, the house will have to be taken back." Tang Jin looked at him enviously, talking to the villagers She was tired of staying there for so many years and even dreamed of buying a house in the county town.
After chatting for a while, Tianza Xiaoping suddenly remembered that the dishes had not been washed yet, so she said: "You guys chat, I will wash the dishes first."
When the uncle heard this, he kicked his wife calmly.
Only then did the aunt react, glance at Dong Xuebin, and hurriedly go up and grab Za Xiaoping, "Xiaoping, go sit and have a rest, drink some water and eat some fruit. How can I let you wash the dishes after a busy day? , I’ll go, I’ll go.”
Za Xiaoping quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, "No, no, no, I'm not tired. "My aunt pretended to be unhappy and said: "Quick, sit down and have a rest and talk to Xiaobin and the others. I will take care of all the housework in the future. "
The aunt also came up and said with a smile: "Xiaoping, you and Xiaobin haven't seen each other for a long time. Go and accompany your son. Your sister-in-law and I will do the rough work."
Za Xiaoping was a little embarrassed, "Sister, sister-in-law, how can this be done? I'll do it.
"Usual housework is done by Za Xiaoping or Dong Xuebin and his second aunt, the two youngest members of the family.
The old lady spoke at this time, "Xiaoping, you are not in good health. You don't have to worry about this anymore. Let them go."
Za Xiaoping is already the mother of the deputy director, and Dong Xuebin is watching there with squinted eyes. Of course, aunts and uncles can no longer let Za Xiaoping do such rough work, now and then. Luan Xiaoping obviously felt the sudden change in her status in the family, and was a little uncomfortable. After all, the attitudes of her sister-in-law and eldest sister changed too quickly. Za Xiaoping understood that these are all relationships between sons, and the mother is more valuable than the son.
Seeing that his family's attitude towards his mother had completely changed, Dong Xuebin felt quite comfortable.
The uncle also came over at this moment, took out a pack of red plums and handed one to Dong Xuebin, "Xiao Bin, have a cigarette." "
People gave him face, so Dong Xuebin also gave him face, took the cigarette, lit it, and gave one of the Chinese cigarettes in his hand to his uncle, eldest uncle, and second uncle respectively. He could see that his mother was staring at him closely. Dong Xuebin realized that he had not smoked in front of his mother. He smiled and said, "Mom, I don't usually smoke." "
In the past, Za Xiaoping would have scolded him and said that smoking was harmful to health. But now that her son has become a high official, Za Xiaoping's mentality has changed unconsciously, and she does not blame him. Son, on the contrary, I think it is normal for my son to smoke. How many leaders do not smoke
Soon, my aunt came back after washing the dishes, "Xiaoping, I bought some clothes when I went to the county two days ago. Come on, let's try them out. If you like any of them, you can wear them." Za Xiaoping Knowing this, Aunt Xiaobin even showed off when she got home that day that the clothes were not cheap, "Sister-in-law, I have clothes here, thank you."
Her aunt held her hand affectionately and said, "Why are you so polite to me? Let's go and give it a try."
When the aunt looked at him, he, who had just come back from the kitchen, followed her, "Xiaoping has always had a better figure than me. You can't wear my clothes anymore. I'll buy you some someday." It seemed like Xiaoping was the only one. She is like the eldest daughter of the family. In fact, first of all, they felt that their previous attitude towards their sister was a bit cold. Now that their son has become an official, they wanted to make up for it quickly. Secondly, their aunt and aunt knew that Dong Xuebin was angry, and they acted like this deliberately to Dong Xuebin. watch.
9 p.m.
Small courtyard and west house.
Dong Xuebin, who was getting ready to go to bed, still wanted to tell his second aunt and his family something, so before going to bed, he dragged them to his mother's room. As soon as he entered the room and sat down, Qin Xiaoping wore the first son's clothes given to her by her aunt Xiaobin. The coat is back.
Tang Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "You are so beautiful."
The second aunt also said: "Yes, this dress suits you well." Za Xiaoping smiled bitterly, "You are almost fifty years old, how can you still be beautiful?" In fact, she felt quite comfortable.
Dong Xuebin also smiled and praised his mother a few words, and then he calmed down. He grabbed his purse and said to Tang Jin: "Xiao Jin, I didn't bring you anything today. Come..." Dong Xuebin took out a bag that he had prepared early. A good red envelope. The red envelope is so thick and bulging that it can't even seal the sticker. "..., you can take this. It's only a few days into the year anyway, so just treat it as lucky money."
Tang Jin waved his hands hastily, "No, no, I don't want it."
The second aunt also stretched out her hands and said, "Xiao Bin, how can I ask for your money? Take it back quickly."
Dong Xuebin forcibly opened Tang Jin's hand and gave her the red envelope, "Sister, take it as you are told." Or will I fall out? "Za Xiaoping nodded secretly, thinking that her son was really sensible, and said: "Xiao Jin, just take it if your brother gives it to you, don't be polite to him. "
"There is such a pile of money being pushed around." Suddenly some money in the red envelope squeezed out from the mouth. Everyone was stunned when they saw the thick pile. "Everyone thought it was ten yuan or ten yuan, but they didn't expect it." They were all red and colorful hundred-dollar bills, a total of ten thousand yuan!
The most the New Year's money Tang Jin receives every year is 100 or 50. When has he ever received 10,000? At that time, he was dumbfounded, "Cousin, this, this is too much!"
The second uncle was dumbfounded and said: "Your sister's salary is only ten thousand a year. You can't do it..."
Dong Xuebin couldn't help but give the money to his sister, "I said it's fine, just pretend, this girl is about to find someone to talk to. Then I'll buy some more beautiful clothes." Although Za Xiaoping felt that the money was too much, But he still said: "Take it quickly, your brother's salary is high."
The second aunt sighed, patted the back of Dong Xuebin's hand, and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Tang Jin looked at Dong Xuebin gratefully, "...Thank you, brother." "You're welcome, haha." Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "When you get married, I will prepare a big gift for you." In fact, Dong Xuebin has always lived with Beijing, and his sister has always lived with the countryside. The two played together several times when they were young, and their relationship is not very close. However, because of the relationship between the second aunt and the second aunt, Dong Xuebin also feels pain in his heart. Tang Jin.
The second aunt and uncle understood that Dong Xuebin was repaying his kindness, and they felt very warm in their hearts.
When the second aunt and his family were leaving, Dong Xuebin whispered in Tang Xi's ear: "If you are short of money or have something to do in the future, just call my mobile phone. Do you remember the number?" Tang Jin nodded heavily. ""Thank you, Biao Department"
As soon as they left, Qin Xiaoping took her son and sat down on the bed, looked at him, but hesitated to speak.
Dong Xuebin said: "Mom, just tell me if you have anything to do. Um, do you think I gave my sister too much money?"
"That's not true." Za Xiaoping glanced at her son carefully and spat, "Your uncle and your aunt's family did...",... But they are not rich, and they don't have that much money to lend us, so they can't. It's so weird. Look, you gave your sister so much money, and you haven't been home for many years, right? Give your grandma and uncle a little too. Seeing her son's frown, Za Xiaoping quickly said: "It doesn't have to be as much as ten thousand, just give me two hundred or three hundred." "
Dong Xuebin snorted and said nothing.
Za Xiaoping stabbed her son in the arm and said, "You are also a big leader in the county. You haven't come back to see me in these years. Now you don't even take anything. This etiquette... is not considerate. Son, just treat it like a mother." To save face, I can buy some cigarettes for your uncle and uncle, and give your grandma some money, okay?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Mom, I just gave you face. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even bother to talk to them."
Za Xiaoping actually didn't want to embarrass her son and didn't want to give them money, but Za Xiaoping was a child of this family after all, and she had to have this face. In addition, Aunt Xiaobin was so enthusiastic just now, pouring water and giving her money. It's really unreasonable that her son came all the way and didn't show any sign of her clothes. Seeing Dong Xuebin sitting there without saying a word, Za Xiaoping pursed her lips and deliberately squeezed her eye circles red. A few tears.
Dong Xuebin was frightened at once, "I'm dizzy, why are you crying again? Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, can't I go buy cigarettes? I'll go now! Stop crying! I was wrong. I Wrong!" Luan Xiaoping snorted and wiped away her tears. She knew that her son was filial, and he would definitely be obedient when she cried.
There were no Chinese cigarettes in the canteens in the village, and there were only a few Yuxi cigarettes left. Dong Xuebin bought them all. After going to the West Room, he put the cigarettes into his chest and took out a thousand yuan and said, "Mom, can you give me the stuff?" Just give it to them and say I bought it." After that, Dong Xuebin took out a bank card from his wallet and put it into his mother's hand.
Luan Xiaoping was stunned, "What is this for?", "There are nearly 300,000 yuan in it, just take your money and buy whatever you want.
"What?", Za Xiaoping said in surprise: "Where did you get so much money!", "Khan, don't be excited, don't be excited, listen to me and tell you slowly." Dong Xuebin smiled and hugged his mother's shoulders, " , I didn’t dare to tell you before, for fear that you would think that I had taken bribes. In fact, I earned these by myself. I had been working in an antique shop when I was in college, and my eyesight was also improved, but I later picked up a lot of leaks. I’ve made about five million, and now I’ve opened an auction house in partnership with my aunt, so I can start it soon.”
Za Xiaoping almost fainted from the figure of five million, "Are you serious? You didn't lie to mom?" Dong Xuebin said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, ask Aunt Xuan, the auction company will be launched soon. "
"Five million... Five million..." Za Xiaoping was worried, fearing that the money was not genuine. She held her son and asked for a long time before finally believing it.
Dong Xuebin gave his mother the bank card in Aunt Xuan's name, told her the password, and then said with a smile: "I don't know how to spend so much money, so you must take this money and buy something." Clothes, buy an electric bicycle, just go for it, I’ll give it to you if you don’t have it.”
Za Xiaoping hesitated for a moment, "didn't refuse anymore, and wrote down the password on a piece of paper." But as she wrote, her tears couldn't stop falling. Today is probably the happiest day in Za Xiaoping's life. Her son became the deputy director and earned five million yuan. Finally, the old Dong family will no longer be looked down upon! !
