Power and Wealth

Just out of the county office gate, suddenly someone called Dong Xuebin's name. Looking back, it was Hu Shilian, the chief of the office. Hu Silian smiled and pushed an electric bike up, “Director, let's go home to the building, along the way.” She is still very careful. She knows that Dong Xuebin has just arrived. She doesn't know what's going on here. She may not be able to find a place. “Put her luggage in my car as well. This car is sturdy and durable. ”

Dong Xuebin laughed: “That's embarrassing. You can't walk with me on your bike. ”

Hu Shilian kicked off the car support and reached out to pick up Dong Xuebin's suitcase. “It's not far, it's okay, by the way, the director of the bureau is not even here to prepare your reception, otherwise my house will fit in at night? Oh, my love's cooking is still good.” As the chief of the office, Hu Silian's political wisdom was obviously higher than Dong Xuebin's. At the time, Dong Xuebin's position was similar to that of Hu Silian. He was mainly responsible for logistics. However, Dong Xuebin's temper was too strong and offended people everywhere, but Hu Silian was obviously contrary to Dong Xuebin. She was not offended by anyone. Eight sides of her life could pass with any leadership. Of course, there were certain advantages for women in it.

"Don't bother," said Dong Xuebin. "I have to visit my mother in Huitan Township at night. ”

Hu Silian was stunned. Chairman Dong's old house is also from Yantai County? She really doesn't know that.

The county bureau's family building.

It's a neighborhood that's been around for about a decade or two, and the house isn't new, but it's barely there. After Hu Shilian took Dong Xuebin upstairs to open the door, he discovered that there was no hollow sky in it. This two bedroom decoration and everything is very elaborate. The home is fully furnished, LCD TV, fully automatic roller washing machine, cabinet air conditioning, everything should be there, and it's almost up to the standard room of a hotel.

As soon as Hu Shilian left, Dong Xuebin put his luggage down and laid on the queen bed in the bedroom. The grassroots level is the grassroots level. A lot of things don't need to be as attentive as Jingli. I'm afraid my current life treatment is better than Xu Yan's deputy level leader. By the way, by then, I'll have to catch up with my mother. I've worked hard for most of my life, and it's time for my mother to enjoy herself.

Dong Xuebin picked up the phone and called the village.

“Hey, who are you looking for?” There was a woman's voice across the street and she didn't know who it was.

"I, Dong Xuebin. Is my mother there? ”

“It's you.” Sound, “... wait... Xiaoping... Xiaoping... your son's phone! ”

Soon, Ma Xiaoping's voice sounded, “Xiaobin? Why did you call home?” My son used to call her at the country high school and rarely called home.

Dong Xuebin frowned, “Mom, who was that? ”

“It's your aunt. ”

“Huh, it hasn't changed in years, that tone is like I owe her money. ”

“Bullshit, your aunt actually loves you. ”

“Mom, don't give them the bus. We both know what their last names are.” When Dad was sick and in danger, Dong Xuebin and his mother borrowed money from the family, but his uncle and aunt didn't even give them a penny. However, the second aunt, whose family conditions had always been poor, took out all their savings. This made Dong Xuebin feel cold about his mother's relatives at once. Plus, he never had much business with them, so the family relationship was very rigid. On New Year's Eve, Dong Xuebin, apart from calling the second aunt to worship the year, didn't even say hello to the other elders.

“Bin, can I help you? Mom's washing her vegetables. Why don't Mom call you back? ”

“Why are you washing your vegetables again? You've been working all day, my aunt. ”

“Whoever washes vegetables and cooks is not all the same, family, what do you compare to this. ”

“Mom, you're being too honest. You shouldn't have quit! ”

“Mom knows what to do, so leave it alone. ”

Every time he said something about his mother's house, Dong Xuebin got angry and sat up from the bed. "I'm in Yantai County. I'll take the car to your place later. ”

“What are you doing here if you don't work? ”

“Something's up. I'll talk to you when I see you. I'll be right there. ”

“Didn't you eat? Then I'll call your aunt's family too. We'll wait for you to eat.” Last New Year, Xiaoping told Dong Xuebin once. Now that his son is willing to go home, Xiaoping is happy. He thought his son had taken a special leave to come back and check it out.

Take a long ride out to Huitan Township on a bumpy ride.

When I got out of the car, I saw my mother, Xiaoping, waiting for me there. Dong Xuebin complained: “What are you doing here? Something else happened at night.” There's no better security here than in the capital. "Who's in the house? My second aunt, my second uncle and sister, are they here? ”

"'Your sister's working late today,' said Xiaoping. 'I'll be right back. Everyone else has arrived. ”

Dong Xuebin held Mom's hand, “Okay, then go over there and watch your step. ”

“Oh, Mom's eyes are fine, don't help.” Xiaoping was pleased to pat his son's hand and lead the way in the front.

When you can see the palm tree in the small courtyard of your hometown, a few young people suddenly sway and roll across the street, some carrying a cheap cigarette like a dollar or two, some humming a small mountain song, and others looking at Dong Xuebin and Xiaoping without hesitation to measure.

Xiaoping glanced and hurried to pull his son away and lowered his head slightly.

Dong Xuebin often looks at them coldly, “Mom, what are these people for? What are you afraid of them for? ”

“We make gold in Yantai County. These are the little gangsters hired in the mines. They usually live in the country, steal people's vegetable land, molest people's little girls, do anything bad.” Xiaoping was relieved when he saw the gangsters go far away. "Xiaobin, you can see them hiding a little further in the future. These people can't be bothered. I hear they have good relations with the police at the police station in the township. Our family has had several kinds of sweet potato eyes open to be dug by these people, but you can call the police, and the police don't care. ”

“Sweat, let me hide from them? ”

“Listen to your mother, your position is in Beijing, it's useless with this side, can't screw them up. ”

Dong Xuebin is a little funny. You want me to be the deputy director of the county bureau to hide from the punks? Are you kidding me?

Dong Xuebin, a small courtyard here, came here a few years ago. Other than the date tree, which grew a little taller, the others haven't changed much. Stepping on the yellow land, he pushed open the big iron door with red paint on it. Xiaoping and Dong Xuebin walked into the courtyard and walked into the house looking for a lighted Tova house. At a glance, the whole family is here. Older grandmothers, uncles and aunts, aunts and great-uncles, second aunts and aunts, only sisters and a few younger children are absent.

Dong Xuebin didn't like anyone except the second aunt's family, but his mother's face still had to be given, so he was screamed again.

Both my uncle and aunt's family were somewhat ignorant. After all, Dong Xuebin had photographed the table with them before, and several people were quite avenged. Only Aunt Second Aunt greeted him with a smile. Aunt Second Aunt held Dong Xuebin's hand and looked at him. She couldn't help but nod her head. "The longer Bin is spiritual, the bigger he is. Look, he is one year older than me. Come on, sit down. Sit down. Let's get ready for dinner. ”

Dong Xuebin really missed his second aunt. “Aunt, you are getting younger too. How are you feeling? ”

“Fine, huh. ”

“'Listen to your mother,' said Uncle Lian. 'Are you in charge now? ”

Dong Xuebin touched out a packet of Chinese cigarettes and let Uncle Er have one. "Hey, you smoke. ”

Uncle Er glanced at the cigarette box. “Yo, that's a good cigarette. ”

Uncle Dong Xuebin didn't give him a cigarette. He frowned. "The leadership on the side of Guo 'an is not worth a lot of money. He says he is the deputy director, but there is not much power. ”

Auntie laughed: "No, it's not. It's also a grass-roots official. ”

Dong Xuebin looked at them.

Xiaoping was upset to hear them so demeaning her son, but that was her brother's sister-in-law, and she couldn't say anything.

““ You can't say that, "said Aunt Lian." How big is Bin? There's no limit to the future. ”

Aunt Dong Xuebin didn't look good either. She left her mouth open. “The old lady is hungry too. If you don't want to wait for Jane, eat. ”

Uncle, the reason why they did this to Dong Xuebin, first of all, was that something bad happened, and second of all, Dong Xuebin's official position was in Guo 'an. In Jingli, where is Beijing? It is the political center, once the cadres grabbed a large number, plus it is a very closed department like Ann, the content of the deputy department is extremely low, out of their unit, basically nobody recognized it, so after hearing that Son Xiaoping mentioned the deputy department, it did not become much enthusiasm, still the same.

Dong Xuebin was very annoyed with this meal.

Not only because of the attitude of several relatives' elders towards themselves, but also because of their attitude towards their mother!

Xiaoping and her family seem to be babysitters, cook well, serve well, pour water, it's all about Mom, even after eating to brush chopsticks to brush the bowl is also the job of Mom and Second Aunt. Mother was not well, she taught a day of books with the village high school, and she came back to do this, but she didn't work all day with her aunt who was at home, but she didn't work at all. After eating and drinking enough, she watched TV with her aunt beautifully, and she was lazy like a pig.

Seeing his son was a little angry, Xiaoping chuckled. “Bin, you've been in a hurry all day. Go and rest in the house. ”

Dong Xuebin glanced coldly at Aunt Eye and the aunt's family. What he was about to say, Dang, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.

”Aunt Lian's second uncle's daughter, Dong Xuebin's cousin Tang Lin, ran into the room with tears on her face.“ Whoo... "

Long time no see, Dong Xuebin almost didn't recognize, “Are you... Xiaojin? Is that Jane? Who bullied you? ”
