Power and Wealth

New Year's Eve.

It's New Year's Eve, Kyori people used to call it New Year's Eve.

The crackling firecrackers outside are deafening and the streets are filled with the joy of the Spring Festival. Dong Xuebin's mood is similar to that of the New Year. Since yesterday, when he knew his deputy had been appointed, he couldn't help but be happy to sleep. That's a joy. A pair of red tongue was affixed on the front door of his house, and Dong Xuebin turned back to the house. After washing his hands, he started filling dumplings with bread and chives in the living room.

The only regret is that this Spring Festival is still so cold.

Aunt Xuan is not married yet. She naturally has to go back to her parents for New Year's Eve. It seems to be going to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Because of the larger family, Aunt Xuan went to prepare dinner yesterday morning. She is expected to come back after the New Year. Mother was on her way to Beijing, and the car had not arrived yet, so Dong Xuebin could only rub his face in private.

The bell bell, the phone rang, Dong Xuebin looked at the number and didn't recognize it, so he fed it.

“Director Xiao, I am strict, haha, have a good year, wish you step up! ”

Dong Xuebin stunned, “... good New Year's Eve. ”

Yan said a few words and then hung up. Dong Xuebin remembered that he was no better now than before. Not only did someone give him a worship year, but he also had to give a worship year to the leader. He didn't come in casually. He had just upgraded his second department. He must have had a lot of gossip, and it was even more unlikely that he would go there with something big. The situation here was somewhat different from that of other institutions. So he thought about it. Dong Xuebin quickly picked up the phone for Zhen An and Xu Yan and other leaders to worship the year.

“Director Xu, Xiao Dong has given you the New Year's Eve. Thank you for your constant care and attention. I will definitely continue to follow the leadership's footsteps in the coming year. If you go east, I will go east. If you go north, I will go north...”

“Director Zhen, have a good New Year's Eve and wish you all the best in your work...”

Finally, even Xie Huilan called there. There was no accident. Xie Huilan's call was the hardest of all leaders. He called Director Xu twice. He called Director Zhen four times. But Xie Huilan? Eighteen times! Eighteen times is already on the phone, the nineteenth time Xie Huilan's very magnetic voice came over, how many people told her to worship the year, and now this time is not the peak of the phone worship.

Dong Xuebin continued to pour dumpling skin after the year of worship.

The bell, the phone rang.

It's Tan Limei. “Hip-hop, Director Dong, have a good New Year. I sincerely wish you a happy New Year. ”

"'Thank you,' said Dong Xuebin. 'I wish you and Comrade Sun Zhuang every happiness.” One of us is more casual.

“Thank you Director Dong for your blessing. Why is it so quiet over there? Alone? ”

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly: "Tan, where can you not mention the pot? Oh, my mother is almost here. This year, we have been together. This is not true. I have a big old man talking about dumplings. ”

“Oops, how can that be, then I'll go with the pile to help you! ”

“Come on, I'll take it. ”

“We only had dinner at home at night. It's all right now. If there's nothing inconvenient about your place, I really should go there? Cough, actually me and the pile have something to ask of you, I was going to pass at the beginning of the year. ”

As soon as Dong Xuebin listened, he didn't refuse. “Well, come and eat. ”

Just put the phone down, ding-dong, ding-dong, the doorbell rang.

Dong Xuebin thought it was his mother, so he walked over and opened the door.

Who knew that standing outside the door was really Guo Panwei, with two big bags of things, he smiled: “Good New Year, Director Dong, I have something for you. This, I will not go in. You are busy, you are busy.” As a matter of principle, worshipping leaders is generally the first year and the second year and the third year, but Guo Panwei knows about the situation of Director Xiao's family. There must not be many relatives in the family for the New Year, so he wanted to see what he could do to help.

Dong Xuebin smiled. “Come and get something else. Come on in. ”

Guo Panwei hesitated to look inside, “Is this... appropriate? ”

“Suitable. I'm the only one in the house. My mom won't be here until later. Sit in the house. ”

“Well, I'm sorry to bother you. ”

… outside the building.

Ma Xiaoping Fengfeng Dusty servant entered the community, looked at the large red lantern hanging from the window of the house, looked at several children hip-and-glaugh location with firecrackers, Xiaoping burst with a smile. In the months after beating the son into the organ, she did not care to go home, now she can finally see the son, of course she is happy. However, there are also fears. Xiaoping knew his family name was weak. As soon as something happened, he couldn't help but love his tears. His son knew how to do things, so he didn't tell himself a lot of troubled things. He was afraid that he would think about him. Alas, he didn't know how Xuebin and the authorities were doing. He always said it was good, I don't know if it was really good or fake good.

“Yo, isn't that Sister Lun?” An old neighbor says hello: "Good New Year. ”

Xiaoping smiled at her. “Good New Year. How's the baby? Did you graduate from college? ”

"'Graduated,' said the man. 'I've got a job. It's not very well paid, so let's do it together. It's no better than your little bin. ”

Xiaoping's heart is very popular, but his mouth still says: “Our family doesn't have much salary. He's a small clerk. He has more than 3,000 yuan, which is to save energy and distribute something every year. ”

The neighbor's sister shouted, “No, isn't your little bin promoted? ”

Xiaoping was stunned and laughed: “What kind of officer is he promoted to? His probationary period as a civil servant has not yet expired. ”

"'But I heard everyone say that. Oh, maybe it's a mistake, huh, that Xiaobin also has the skills, that nostrils in the sky of Chief Xu was taken away by him, the house was entrusted to the agent to rent out, now living in a house and two people selling clothes with Lubei.” Qian Xiaoping is another Qian, Captain Xu? The officer who lives upstairs in her house? Did Bin take it? What do you mean, how did Bin get away? Without waiting for her to ask anything, the neighbor's sister said: “My relatives are here. I'll pick them up at the door. I have free time. ”

With a belly of suspicion, Xiaoping walked into a building, knocking, touching, the sound of firecrackers shook her eardrums.

Clicking and clicking, Xiaoping opened the door with the key, “Xuebin, Mom's here. ”

“Mom, why are you so late? Traffic jam? ”

“The car is late. ”

“Are you an aunt? Hello Auntie, it's New Year's Eve. ”

What surprised Xiaoping was that there were two people sitting in the house. In addition to their son, who had been missing for months, one was a man of about thirty years of age, his expression had no edge, and at first glance it was like working with an organ. Xiaoping took off his coat and hung it beside him. “Are you a colleague of Xuebin? Good New Year to you too.” She didn't understand why her son's colleague came to the door today. She looked at the person's desk without even a cup. Xiaoping looked blamefully at her son. “The colleague came home and didn't know how to pour tea.” Speak up and pour water.

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly: “He just got in the house, too. ”

Guo Panwei stood up hastily: “Auntie, don't be busy. I'll do it myself. ”

Guo Panwei grabbed the electric kettle and poured water not only on Xiaoping, but also on Xuebin Dong.

Xiaoping Xiao Xiaoping said that he was too polite. Why are you pouring water back to my son when you all work in an office? You're a lot older than my son. Thanks for taking the cup. Look at him, “... what's your name? ”

Guo Panwei sat half his ass on the couch, respectfully said: “Guo Panwei, you can call me Xiao Guo. ”

“Oh, you're an integrated office, too? ”

“Yes.”

Looking at his little discreet appearance, Xiaoping was a little speechless. Did he say I was this scary? The kids at the country school always say I'm gentle. Why are you so arrogant when I come? Xiaoping sat next to the sofa. “Don't be so polite. It's like going to your own house when you get here. Have you been busy?” She has nothing to say.

Guo Panwei straightened his waistplate: “It's Spring Festival, it's busier than usual. ”

Xiaoping Yi, “How are we doing with Bin and the unit? You didn't get scolded by the leader, did you? He doesn't tell me anything, this kid. ”

Guo Panwei was stunned, "... scolded? Auntie, who dares curse the director?” Guo Panweixin said that someone dared to scold Director Dong, Zhou Guoan scolded him, Guo Shunjie scolded him, but both of them were invited to drink tea by the Disciplinary Committee, and this trip never came back. Since then, who counted Xiao Dong's head without weighing in first?

Now it's Xiaoping's turn to be stunned, “Director Dong? What director? ”

Guo Panwei shouted, “Don't you know? ”

“What do I know? ”

Dong Xuebin smiled and patted his mother's back. “Mom, you haven't been back with the country. I didn't say anything. I thought about telling you in person. I already mentioned the Deputy Director of the Integrated Office and joined the party. By the way, yesterday's appointment of the Deputy Section also came down, barely counting as a cadre.” I never said it was just to surprise my mother, watching her gaze, Dong Xuebin was very satisfied.

“What!?” Xiaoping was stunned by the mistake: “Did you mention the deputy department? ”

Guo Panwei hurriedly fanned: “Auntie, since Director Dong entered the organ, the results can't be counted. If no one else can do what Director Dong can do, there will be no difficulties that Director Dong can't solve. Let me see, Director Dong don't mention the deputy department, it is just to directly mention the rectification department... No... No one can talk nonsense directly to the deputy office, it is too normal. ”

Xiaoping still hasn't responded, grades? Doesn't your son know yet? What did he do when he was a kid and mostly clumsy? If you don't start a mess, it's fine!

Dong Xuebin laughed: “Mom, someone will be here later. Bag dumplings. I don't like the bag. ”

“Let me do it! Let me do it!” Guo Panwei went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and when he came out, he moved Dong Xuebin's good face and filling to the kitchen. “Director Dong, Auntie hasn't come back for a long time. I won't bother you two to talk. I'll go to the kitchen to bag dumplings. ”

Dong Xuebin stopped: “Pan Wei, don't be too busy. Sit down for a while. ”

“Nothing, I just came by today to see if there's anything I can do for you. I may not look good without you and Auntie Bag, but I barely fit in. ”

"'Look at you,' said Dong Xuebin. 'I've come a long way to keep you busy. ”

“Should be. ”

Ma Xiaoping grabbed her son's hand and said, "Xuebin, are you really an official? ”

“Absolutely. ”

“You're not looking for a colleague to collude and cheat on Mom, are you? ”

“Dizziness, what am I lying to you for? Me. ”

Xiaoping still doesn't believe me. How is that possible, son? He was about to show himself his work permit again. The doorbell rang. Xiaoping was closer to the door. When he reached the mouth, he swallowed again. He stood up and opened the door. Outside the door stood a man and a woman. The man was tall and fat, and the woman was small.

“Who are you? ”

Tan Limei smiled with joy: "Auntie, you must be the mother of Director Dong. Hello, I have a good year for you. ”

Sun Zhuang also snorted: “Aunt Happy New Year. ”

I heard them call their son Director Dong. Xiaoping is now unbelievable and trustworthy. Leave the door open and let them in.

As soon as they entered the house, Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang put what they had brought into the hallway, where they could see a few red Chinese knots and a little fruit. Oh, there seemed to be two more Chinese cigarettes. At first glance, Xiaoping was surprised. Even if he didn't smoke, he knew the price of China. How much does it cost? Then Tan Limei smiled and said to Dong Xuebin on the couch: “Director Dong, I've come to wrap dumplings for you. ”

Dong Xuebin smiled, “Pan Wei is with the kitchen bag. ”

Tan Limei shouted, “Where's Brother Guo? So there's no chance for me to do it? I can't do this. I have to find something.” She reached around her neck and looked for it. She grabbed Xiaoping's hand in a generous way. "Auntie, I recently learned some massage techniques from my mother. Let me rub your shoulder. ”

Where has Xiaoping ever been treated like this? “No need. ”

“Hey, my craftsmanship is to your satisfaction, Auntie, just give me a chance to perform, will you?” Sun Zhuang can't talk much. Tan Limei's mouth is sweet. After a few words, she put Xiaoping on the couch and sat down. Then Tan Limei began to squeeze her shoulders on her back like her own daughter. She praised while squeezing: “Auntie, your skin is so good, none of us are younger than you. ”

Xiaoping chuckled: “How can I compare to you when I'm almost 50 people? ”

“Oh, you're almost fifty? Unlike, I think you thought you were forty. ”

Xiaoping has never been so complimented before. A smile on her face is enough, “Miss, are you tired? Sit down and drink some water. Auntie will make you tea. ”

Tan Limei worked hard, “I'm not tired, I haven't punched you in the leg. ”

Sun Zhuang was not idle, took a broom and started cleaning his house.

Dong Xuebin doesn't know what happened to these two today. Is this too enthusiastic? Besides, it's just another year and you take so much stuff? By the way, on the phone they said they had something to ask for themselves. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin didn't stop them. Mum worked hard for most of her life, and now she has a little power, so it's time for her to enjoy it.

Xuan Xiaoping was pinched by Tan Limei's back very comfortably, not only physically comfortable, but also psychologically. She now believes that her son is really in charge. Look, someone else is giving something away, someone is pouring water for tea, someone is pouring dumplings, someone is pinching their shoulders, someone is sweeping the floor, when has their family enjoyed this treatment? Alas, my son is good, my son is good!

Half an hour later.

Guo Panwei walked out of the kitchen with a smile, “Director Dong, Auntie, the dumplings are wrapped. ”

Xiaoping apologized a little. “Thank you for your hard work. Come and sit down and eat some fruit.” I looked down at Tan Limei, who punched her in the leg, and Xiaoping helped her quickly, "Girl, look tired for you, don't be busy, get up, Auntie will cook for you and eat here at noon. ”

Guo Panwei said: "No, if you don't have anything else to do here, I won't bother you. ”

Tan Limei looked at Guo Panwei and said: “We're going back too. ”

Knowing that his son had been promoted, Xiaoping was so happy that he couldn't let them go. "It's almost time for lunch. All stay. Auntie fires two dishes. ”

Guo Panwei and Tan Li Mei 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 leaders who have absolute trust will be invited to dinner with their families. Besides, it's lunch in New Year's Eve 30, and they can spend New Year's with their leadership family. What kind of trust is that?

Dong Xuebin waved his hand, “If you have a dinner party at home, it's all right. New Year's Eve is still important. If you don't have anything to eat, stay and eat. They're all your own people, not so much to talk about.” After that, Dong Xuebin is a little proud of himself. Hey, dude, he's getting more and more leadership.

Watching his son raise his hand and throw his foot in the room is a small look of a superior, Xiaoping is extremely comforting and rises a faint sense of pride.

Guo Panwei was made a little by Dong Xuebin's own people, knowing that he and Xiao Dong Director's original mustard had disappeared, so where else would he go, “... then I will wash the dishes for Auntie. ”

Tan Limei also said: "I will help my aunt fight. ”

Sun Zhuang's mouth was silly. “I... also helped Auntie to do it. ”

The dumplings were eaten at night and a few home-cooked dishes were made at noon.

After dinner, Guo Panwei helped Xiaoping pick up the bowl chopsticks and then quit. This time, Xiaoping didn't stop. He knew that nobody was free for New Year's Eve, but Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang didn't leave. When Guo Panwei went out, Sun Zhuang looked like he was going to say something. Tan Limei opened his mouth and didn't say anything. He simply ran back to Xiaoping to pinch her legs, very hard work.

Lun Xiaoping could tell, "Girl, are you two looking for Xuebin? ”

Tan Limei coughed embarrassingly, “Well, we... we have something to ask Director Dong, but we are ashamed to ask, New Year's Eve, we shouldn't have talked about this, didn't we?” New Year's Eve is a gift, and people usually don't say anything at this time unless it's urgent.

Dong Xuebin laughed. “If you need anything, tell me when it has become twisted and pinched. ”

Tan Limei glanced at Sun Zhuang and gave him a look. Sun Zhuang's face was a little red. After holding back for half a day, he still didn't feel comfortable talking, so he gave Tan Limei another look. Tan Limei was so angry that he stared at Dong Xuebin, hating iron and steel. “Director Dong, Sun Zhuang and I had to separate the department because we were in love. The staff was tight a while ago, but Director Li Qing had just talked to Sun Zhuang yesterday and said he was to be transferred to the disciplinary committee. ”

Dong Xuebin winks, discipline committee? Not bad, at least better than the archives.

Tan Limei looked at Dong Xuebin's face and probed: “You also know the work of the Disciplinary Committee... I am afraid..."

Dong Xuebin laughed: “Okay, just tell me which department you want to go to. ”

What's that supposed to mean? You can transfer him to any department you want? Is your son so capable?

Sun Zhuang finally said: “I think the work of the Political Office... well... if it is possible there...” Of course, the Political Office is a hotter department in the station. Anyone who manages cadres to examine cadres wants to go, but no one can go in.

Dong Xuebin thought about it. “Okay, I'll ask you something later in the year. It shouldn't be much of a problem.” He has a good leadership relationship with the top, which is still out of the question.

Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang listened and hurried to thank him.

When he left, Dong Xuebin turned over what they had taken in the aisle and said: “Fruit stay, Chinese knot stay, take the cigarette back. ”

Tan Limei quickly said: “Director Dong, you have helped Sun Zhuang so much, how can we..."

Dong Xuebin waved, “That's all. I don't smoke? Take it home to your elders for New Year's Eve, by the way, you two wait.” Dong Xuebin took a bottle of Maotai liquor from a cabinet and put it in Sun Zhuang's hands with a smile. “He gave it to me, and I don't drink it either. Take it back, both of you will help me solve the problem.” I was depressed when I had no status. How come nobody gave me gifts? Now that I have status, Dong Xuebin is depressed again. What about so many gifts?

Tan Limei couldn't help but laugh: “Director Dong...”

“Stop the ink and go home for New Year's. ”

Xiaoping looked painfully at the bottle of Maotai and said: “Take it, Xuebin doesn't drink. ”

“Well... thank you, Director.” Helpless, they had to take it.

After leaving Dong Xuebin's hallway, Tan Limei looked at the Maotai in the eye pile's hand and exclaimed: “We asked Director Bin Zi to do his business. Instead of confiscating the ceremony, he took his belongings. What do you call it? ”

Sun Zhuang: “The Binzi are fine. ”

Tan Limei sighed: “Yeah, I've never seen such a good leader. I don't know how Director Bin Zi treats others. I knew he didn't really say anything to his subordinates. Remember that time when Guo Shunjie framed Director Bin Zi and I and Chang Sister? If Director Bin Zi hadn't handed over all my responsibilities to Chang Sister, we would have suffered. Alas, where can I find such a good leader? ”
