As a person, you must know how to advance and retreat, and you must not be arrogant because of favors.
——Long Ruohai’s approach gave him a good night’s sleep. Of course, the young couple was loving and sincere. They were endlessly lingering and longed for each other. After daybreak, Long Ruohai still wanted to stay in bed. Ye Chanjuan would not agree.
, forcefully pulled him up.
After breakfast, Ye Chanjuan was busy assigning work tasks to Long Ruohai and said: "Brother Long, today is Sunday. We don't want to go anywhere. We will just go to mother's place to have a meal. I told my mother yesterday that they
I also gave myself a day off today, saying that I won’t be working in the teahouse. Let’s go to the market to buy vegetables first, and then make dumplings with them. Do you think it’s okay for the whole family to have a reunion dinner of dumplings together?”
Of course, Long Ruohai would not object to his wife's arrangement, and he would resolutely implement it without any dissatisfaction. After a while, the young couple took advantage of the fact that the sun was not very hot and took a stroll around the market. After completing their shopping,
The two of them took a bicycle together and went straight to Long Ruohai's parents' home.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the dormitory area of the flour mill, I met a man who was nearly forty years old but had already put on weight. He had a square face and wore a pair of wide-rimmed glasses. You could tell at a glance that he was a man of status.
.
Before Long Ruohai had time to react, the other party had already spoken a little flatteringly: "Captain Long, hello, hello. Haha, come back to see dad, mom?"
"Yes, yes. Director Wu." Since the other party took the initiative to speak and rushed forward to shake hands, Long Ruohai had no choice but to get out of the car quickly, shaking hands and responding.
He secretly complained in his heart, why did he run into this Wu Xiaojun again? This guy who did not recognize the relationship between master and apprentice once he became an official, because of the intercession of He Yingxia in the "rich club" last time, both parties were unhappy.
Not long after this, why did his face change to a nonchalant expression again?
He didn't know that Wu Xiaojun already hated him to the core because of the failed intercession. He originally wanted to use this incident to win the favor of the organization minister and allow himself to re-enter the official career. But he didn't expect that the Long family would
The boy refused to give face and let his good deeds come to nothing. Since then, he has vowed never to visit the Long family again.
It was only when the situation changed that he became so kind again. A few days ago, he heard someone say that the boy from the Long family became more and more promising as he got around. It was not only the captain's business, he was also sent to the capital for further study.
. As soon as he came out, he was a cadre at the county level. How could he offend such a person? He had to be doubly flattering.
Everything is going smoothly for Long Ruohai's parents now. Carrying heavy responsibilities at the 'Sanjiang Tea House' is much busier than when he was the workshop director in the past. Usually, except for going home to sleep, he is basically busy working in the tea house.
The young couple knew that the old man would only go home and rest if he said hello in advance. Otherwise, he would definitely devote all his body and mind to the teahouse.
In the words of the old man, it is not all about a few dollars, the main thing is to make people live more energetically. Of course, money is also an important factor. If you have more money, your son and wife can live better.
One thing. You can’t always think about taking advantage of your in-laws.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law coming home with fresh meat and vegetables in their hands, Long Ruohai's mother's eyes turned into slits with laughter. She hurriedly came out and said scolding: "You kid, you are really ignorant.
How come Chanjuan is so tired?"
She kept blaming her son, and while talking, she rushed to take the items from her daughter-in-law. In the old man's mind, Chanjuan, a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, was not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable, courteous, and carried a lantern.
There was nowhere to look for it. The pain was still so painful that I was not willing to let my daughter-in-law suffer even the slightest grievance and fatigue.
Long Ruohai had no place to say when he was suffering, which family's manager was this? Obviously I was holding everything in my hands, but Sister Juan just picked up some ginger, onions and garlic as if to take the occasion, saying that I was ignorant. No.
The solution, my mother comes first. He had no choice but to shake his head and follow him home.
While supporting the old man's arm, Ye Chanjuan wrinkled her beautiful nose at Long Ruohai, and proudly raised her lips in a few charming arcs. It is natural for her to be a daughter-in-law if she can win the favor of her mother-in-law.
Very proud.
The four people, old and young, were choosing dishes together and chatting together. The family was lively and very harmonious. When talking to the old people, they only talked about a few words. If they didn't say a few words, they would just talk.
She will be concerned about when the young couple will have the next generation. The neighbor aunts who come to visit will also join in the fun and ask when they will be invited to eat red eggs.
Chanjuan was very simple. She blushed and said, 'I need to ask Brother Long about this.
My own husband.
Long Ruohai felt scratched when faced with his neighbor who spoke unabashedly. Coupled with the fact that he couldn't avoid his parents' questioning, he simply made a generous statement on behalf of his wife and said: "Mom, dad, don't worry. I and I
Chanjuan has already discussed it, and she will definitely let you have a grandson or granddaughter next year."
"Okay, okay. Xiaolong, with your words, I feel relieved. Your father and I are just waiting to be grandpa and grandma." As soon as these words were said, the two old people immediately beamed with joy and couldn't help but smile.
'Hehe' laughed.
It was a rare occasion for the family to meet together, and of course they talked and laughed. The aunts and sisters-in-law in the neighborhood all knew that life in Lao Long's family was very prosperous now. His son had been promoted to an official, and his wife was from a wealthy family.
The old couple earned high wages in the teahouse. They were no longer comparable to those in the past when they couldn't find a wife.
Of course, some people will be jealous, some will be jealous, and some will regret it. Why are you so blind that you let such a good son-in-law run away? That relative of Aunt Cao's family, because of this marriage, not only regrets it, but also everyone in the family
There was a fight because of mutual accusations. But what's the use of regret? It can only be a long sigh.
The family had just exchanged a few words when Long Ruohai's pager rang. When he saw that it was a pager from Chief Xue of the Cadre Department, he realized that it was about work and had settled the matter, so he quickly returned the call.
past.
"This is Long Ruohai, I am Xue Changda from the cadre department. Your work issues were discussed at the bureau party committee meeting last night. I will see if it is convenient for you to come to my office for a meeting and conversation."
Hearing Section Chief Xue's voice, Long Ruohai already knew that what he said yesterday had entered the implementation stage. This meant that a new test had come. What kind of road was in front of him? Really
It's unpredictable.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. In any case, in this situation, no matter how dangerous the future is, he has to make a breakthrough. He pursed his lips, and without thinking much, he replied: "Okay, Chief Xue. I have it."
Time, go to your office now."
Although they are not happy that their son is busy going out as soon as he gets home, his parents can still understand. Since they can't help their son with work matters, they can only try their best not to hold him back. Just when he is about to go out, he repeatedly
Watching should go home early. It’s rare for a family to make some meals at home, so of course it’s good to be reunited.
Long Ruohai went to the Public Security Bureau. Ye Chanjuan, who was going to continue helping to choose vegetables, was forced to go to the room to watch TV by her mother-in-law. She said that it was such a trivial matter and there was no need for her daughter-in-law to dirty her hands again. She couldn't do it no matter how hard she insisted.
, I had no choice but to accept my mother-in-law’s kindness. While watching TV, I continued my thoughts from last night.
Brother Long's work adjustment this time seems not to be very simple. It is not just a matter of distance. From the tone of grandfather and father, it seems that there are risks. What should I do? Ye Chanjuan feels that she is incompetent and cannot help at all.
Fuck your own husband.
"Comrade Long Ruohai, I have been entrusted by Director Xiang to talk to you. The bureau party committee has decided to let you serve as the security brigade captain in the Ningbei County Public Security Bureau. Tell me what your personal thoughts and requirements are."
In the small conference room of the Political Department, Section Chief Xue of the cadre section, who was usually very enthusiastic, was a little lonely. After a few pleasantries, he announced the decision of the bureau party committee to Long Ruohai in language without any emotion.
.
To be honest, even he himself couldn't figure out what was going on. Director Lu's flamboyant and high-level reception scene a few days ago was still in front of him. Why did there suddenly be such a huge reversal? In order to help a dude
When his son vented his anger, did Director Lu not care about his own reputation? On the contrary, Director Qi's attitude was worth pondering. He offered to punish this young man, but refused to let him take up a post in Ningbei.
Director Xiang of the Political Department was also very secretive about this and did not reveal it at all. Even today's meeting and conversation, he avoided participating in the meeting. This kind of situation without any explanation was a problem for Section Chief Xue, who has been in charge of the organization's personnel work for a long time.
It is the best explanation in itself. He knows that there must be a mystery in it, but he can only hide it in his heart and cannot ask more questions.
Captain Gu of the Criminal Police Detachment is already in his early fifties and is looking forward to Long Ruohai taking over his class. Seeing him return from his studies, he has always been happy. But he never thought that a cooked duck can fly.
This morning, I heard that he made a big fuss in the director's office over this matter. When he came out of Director Lu's office, he kept saying "old fool", "old stubborn", "suffering from Alzheimer's disease", etc., and he refused to stop.
mouth. He also accused Director Lu of only knowing how to flatter high-ranking officials and did not care about the political future and interests of the police.
As for the contents of those rumors, Section Chief Xue couldn't inquire or speculate. As for Long Ruohai's arrangements, he could only follow orders. Even the words of a senior person were useless. Of course, he could only do it as a matter of routine.
A few official words and that was the end. Of course, he didn't see Captain Gu laughing after he cursed, it was just a guess based on self-analysis.
"I don't have any ideas or requirements. Please rest assured, leader, and promise to obey the assignments and work with peace of mind." Long Ruohai could be amused with a playful smile in front of several big leaders. But in front of other leaders, he always had rules and regulations, and respected and subordinated.
Shi did not dare to be vague at all. In his own words, a person must know how to advance and retreat, and he must not be arrogant due to favor.
The conversation didn't last long. Section Chief Xue patted Long Ruohai on the shoulder. He said sincerely: "If you don't have any objections, you can take a week off and then go to Ningbei to report to work. I will help you in the next week."
You have to complete all the procedures. Don’t think too much. Working at the grassroots level is also a kind of exercise. Having more experience will also be a kind of wealth for your future work and growth. You are still young and there are plenty of opportunities.
, work for a few years and then come back.”
"Thank you, Chief Xue, thank you for your concern for me. I will definitely do my job well and will never bring disgrace on the leader's face." Seeing that Chief Xue cares so much about him, Long Ruohai felt a surge of emotion in his inner world.
I am so touched. This kind of concern is sincere concern, without any exchange of interests or impurities.
"If you say that, I feel relieved." Section Chief Xue held Long Ruohai's hand tightly and shook it vigorously a few times. To be honest, he was very satisfied with this young man. In such a situation, he still
It is really not easy to keep calm. I thought to myself that I must help Long Ruohai in the future.
