Of course Shen Tong would not forget Zhao Yitang's instructions to him before leaving, so he said: "Uncle, I have just started working, and I still don't understand some people's ways of the world, especially the fights between officials. I can't even tell whether that person's words are true or not. That person's story is fake. Given the current situation, I can only take one step at a time and do my job well, without offending anyone."
"Yes, you are right, you must not participate in partisanship. Last time something happened to Zhao Yitang, I was worried about you. Although you are still a secretary now, your future will be bright. Secretary Wu of the County Party Committee is very grateful to you. These new cadres are very dedicated, so don’t worry about your future, just do your job well and honestly, that’s better than anything else. None of the people in your town are fuel-efficient lamps,” Liu Guozhi said earnestly. .
Shen Tong wanted to know the current situation in the town very much, hoping to get some valuable information from his uncle, so he asked curiously: "Uncle, can you tell me about the current situation in Shihe Town?"
When Liu Guozhi heard someone asking for advice, his heart was filled with joy. His excited eyes were reflected through the thick glasses. He put on his posture and talked endlessly... At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Guozhi, are you at home? Why don't you go to work?" Liu Guozhi's wife He Caiyue put her big bag in the yard, looked tired, and walked into the house with one hand on her hips. The moment she lifted the door curtain, she saw When Shen Tong was at home, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile, "It's Shen Tong here."
Shen Tong hurriedly stood up and called his aunt. Liu Guozhi was talking enthusiastically, but was disturbed by his wife. He felt very unhappy, so he said angrily: "Why are you coming back so early today? Have all the goods been delivered?"
He Caiyue was not in a good mood today. In addition, she was exhausted from delivering goods just now. When she was ridiculed by Liu Guozhi, she ignored Shen Tong's presence and said angrily: "Then you mean that I came back early. I You should be exhausted and go outside, then you will be happy, right?"
When Liu Guozhi heard He Caiyue's strange words, he felt extremely unhappy, so he stood up and said, "Why are you like this? I asked you a question, and you said a lot of things unreasonably. It's simply unreasonable."
He Caiyue became even more enthusiastic: "I'm unreasonable? Then you can send it to me if you have the ability. You still act like a cadre and can't let go of your old face. If you had the ability, you would have climbed up a long time ago. You wouldn't still be the boss now. Besides, If I hadn't worked hard from dawn to dusk to earn some hard-earned money over the years, this family would have been broken up long ago. I didn't buy the food we use. How much did you pay for your son's college education? Tell me, how much did you worry about this family? …”
After more than twenty years, He Caiyue is still so strong. Shen Tong watched the two people quarreling awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable all over. He stood up and said goodbye to them, preparing to leave. But in this scene, Shen Tong couldn't get a word in, and quietly left.
After leaving the gate, Liu Guozhi and the others were still quarreling. It was nothing more than some family disputes and trivial household matters. Shen Tong shook his head helplessly and thought to himself: "I don't know how my uncle got here all these years."
As soon as Shen Tong left the community, Liu Guozhi chased after him on his bicycle. He said with a bitter look on his face: "Shen Tong, I'm so sorry for making you laugh. Your uncle is just a wimp. Hey! Let's not talk about this anymore, so It has been many years since I came here, and let me tell you, Yan Dongxu is not someone to be underestimated, you must be careful."
Shen Tong looked at his uncle's face full of vicissitudes, and his heart was very complicated. His wife had not changed at all for so many years. He sighed and said: "Uncle, you also know my aunt's character. Just let her be. She is also forced by life. , if the conditions are better, maybe she will get better. Uncle, go to work, I will take your words to heart. "
Liu Guozhi nodded, took a long breath, and said: "Hey! I'm sorry for your mother after so many years, hey!" After saying that, he took off his bicycle and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
Shen Tong didn't want to bring up the past anymore, so he said to Liu Guozhi: "Uncle, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You should go to work quickly."
"Oh, okay, you go ahead and go back to your uncle's house when you get to the county town." Liu Guozhi warned.
"Well, okay. I'll leave first then." Shen Tong said goodbye to Liu Guozhi, feeling infinitely sad in his heart. When you don't succeed, everyone wants to step on you, including your own relatives. The person you love the most; and once you have power and wealth, those who step on you will immediately kneel to the ground and hold you up high. Even if you are a piece of shit, you will still be regarded as a delicacy. When I saw my aunt, I thought Thinking of your own family, why isn't this the case?
Since Shen Tong joined the work, he has understood at least two things: the first is that a person's weaknesses are not your capital to show off, but the shackles that are still trampled on by others; the second is that a person's strengths are not the fine wine you collect, but the precise It is the basis for your rapid rise. Only by infinitely magnifying your own advantages, always spurring on your own shortcomings, and hiding them, can you become a true wise man and a true warrior.
Shen Tong was originally in a happy mood, but his mood fell to the bottom after being disturbed by his uncle's family. He looked at his watch and saw that it was only 3:30 in the afternoon, so he ran to the mobile business hall and prepared to apply for a mobile phone card. The work of the business hall When the staff saw that Shen Tong was holding such a good mobile phone at such a young age, they immediately burst into smiles and even invited him to the VIP area, where the lobby manager personally served him.
Shen Tong received inexplicably warm service, and even other people doing business came over and praised his mobile phone. Only then did he realize that mobile phones are also a symbol of status. The unhappiness just now was swept away, and Shen Tong I couldn't help but feel happy to be treated like a distinguished guest.
After the business was completed, the lobby manager personally escorted him out the door, handed him a business card, and told him to call him anytime if he had any questions to ensure 24-hour service.
Shen Tong held the mobile phone and wanted to try it out, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know who to call. To Xu Xia? But what to say on the phone to her, Shen Tong quickly rejected the idea. To Cai Fei? Before Cai Fei It took him two days to show off his mobile phone in front of him. If he called me at this time, would he think that I was also showing off? He would definitely think that a farmer deserves to have a mobile phone? After denying the two people in succession, he decided to call one at home. .
Shen Tong communicated with his father on his mobile phone for a while, and was very excited. After making the call, he was about to put it on his waist when he realized that he had not bought a mobile phone case. After thinking about it again, it was better to keep a low profile, so he put it in his pocket. . There are nearly 3 hours until 7 o'clock. It's still a bit early to go now, but I really can't remember where I'm going now or what I'm going to do. There are also many high school classmates who stay in the county, but they haven't contacted me for a long time. It became much calmer. Besides, others were busy, so it was not appropriate to disturb him now. So he walked along the Bishan River for more than two hours, and arrived at the entrance of the hospital at 10 after 6 o'clock. He stared closely at the outpatient clinic building with people coming and going, for fear that he would be distracted and miss the blue moon.
