Chapter three hundred and forty fourth happy events
After dividing the things, Xu Shiyan showed the title certificate of the assistant engineer of the Tonghua Regional Foreign Trade Bureau and the appointment letter of deputy director and consultant of the County Ginseng Research Institute to his parents and wife.
"My God, have you been promoted?"
Xu Chenghou didn't know a word of Chinese characters, but he turned over the two documents and looked at them carefully.
The old man kept smiling happily, and the wrinkles on his face became much deeper.
"Then where will you go to work in the future? Tonghua or the county?"
How did Xu Chenghou know this? He just thought that his son had been promoted and had to change his job.
"Dad, I don't mean that. Assistant Engineer of Tonghua Regional Foreign Trade Bureau is a professional title.
Wasn't I a technician before? Logically speaking, I have to work for at least four years, have good skills, and pass the exam before I can be rated as an assistant engineer.
The boss felt that I had real talents and made outstanding contributions, so he directly gave me a professional title. Then my salary would be increased."
It was only after Xu Shiyan inquired with others that he realized that co-authorship was a professional title. In the future, salary increases and job promotions would require a professional title.
"As for the county ginseng research institute, it is actually just a name, an honorary consultant, and they give talks about the development of ginseng industry technology every year.
I guess they can provide some benefits or something? I was too embarrassed to ask at the time, since I wasn’t going anywhere anyway, I was still working at Yishen Field.”
For now, Xu Shiyan doesn't want to go anywhere.
He just wanted to get down to business and lead people to figure out the entire ginseng industry.
He only thinks about ways to make money. As for whether he gets promoted or not, he doesn't care.
"Father, mother, and wife, there is good news. This fall, I am going to the Provincial Agricultural University."
The last one is the bombshell.
"What? Going to university? Or the Provincial Agricultural University?"
Xu Chenghou felt that his brain was a little exhausted at the moment. Today's surprises came one after another, and he was a little confused.
"You don't need to take the college entrance examination to go to university? Is this true?"
The fifth son had taken the Tonghua Agricultural School exam and took the exam twice. How come the third son can go to university without even taking the exam? Is it reliable?
"It's true, this is an adult university specially set up by our province to improve the quality of cadres.
Basically, those who can be selected to study must be deputy county-level cadres or candidate cadres, with a two-year schooling period, a college degree, and a nationally recognized academic qualification."
If Xu Shiyan hadn't made great achievements this time, it would have been at least three or four years before he had the chance to study.
"Oh, you got so many benefits from going out this time?
It's a color TV and a washing machine, what kind of professional title is it, and what kind of deputy director is it? How can I still go to school?
Oh my God, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves of the old Xu family. This is the true glory of our ancestors."
As Zhou Guilan spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Who would have thought that the third son who almost died of illness and seemed like he couldn't feed him all day long would be so promising now?
"Old lady, look at you, your son will be rewarded for his meritorious service. This is a great event. Why are you crying?"
Xu Chenghou tried to persuade his wife, but actually there were tears in his eyes.
The old couple never dreamed that their third son would be as successful as he is now.
They didn't see the grand welcome ceremonies in the provinces, cities and counties. If they had seen it, how could Bao Qi be so excited?
Seeing his parents so excited, Xu Shiyan felt very excited with mixed emotions.
There seems to be a saying like that before, how did it come about?
The three major goals of a man are to make his parents think he is a good son by the time he is twenty-five years old.
At the age of thirty-five, he made his wife feel that he was a good husband.
At the age of forty-five, let your children feel that you are a good father.
Xu Shiyan is thirty-two years old this year. I dare not say anything else, but now, he can be said to be a good son in the eyes of his parents and a good husband in the heart of his wife.
As for what the children think, we have to wait until they grow up to evaluate it.
If you achieve two of the three major goals, that's okay. If you have one remaining, keep working hard.
Xu Shiyan didn't come back from his trip for more than a month. There wasn't much work on the mountain in the afternoon, so Su Anying didn't go either. The family just sat together and chatted.
At noon, I was too busy to buy meat to make dumplings. Now Zhou Guilan said, hurry up and buy some meat and make dumplings stuffed with leek and meat to eat in the afternoon.
Xu Shiyan was really tired from all the hard work these days, so he simply didn't go home and just lay down on the kang in his parents' room for a while.
"Oh, I've been out for the past few days and my body feels stiff just by sleeping on the bed. The hot kang at home is still more comfortable. When I lie down on it, my whole body feels refreshed."
We were cooking at noon and the kang was very hot. Xu Shiyan lay on the head of the kang and felt his sore waist. He felt much more comfortable immediately.
"Don't lie like that, your neck hurts. Give you a pillow." Zhou Guilan quickly got a pillow for her son and let him lie down comfortably.

To be honest, Xu Shiyan was indeed very tired. Lying on the hot kang like this made his whole body feel comfortable.
At first, I could chat with Xu Chenghou for a while, but fell asleep after a while.
When Zhou Guilan saw that her son was asleep, she quickly closed the north window, found a thin quilt, and put it on Xu Shiyan's body.
"Well, outsiders only talk about how many awards he has won and how glorious he is. Who knows how tired and miserable he is outside?
Look at me, I'm much thinner when I come back than when I left."
The old lady was so distressed that she looked at her son who was sleeping soundly and murmured in a low voice.
"Well, just cook more delicious food these days, invite them to come back for dinner, and feed them for a while."
Xu Chenghou is a big man with a rough heart, but he doesn't seem to be fat or thin, but his wife said that he must be thin and must make up for it.
"Tomorrow I will kill our big rooster and make a pot of stew for my son to eat."
Zhou Guilan was amused by her husband's words. She rolled her eyes at Xu Chenghou, put on her shoes and went to the garden to cut leeks.
At the beginning of spring, Xu Chenghou set up a small plastic shed in the leek field and put the leeks inside. They grew earlier than other people's leeks and were still tender.
The first leeks have been cut long ago, and these are the second leeks, which are more than half a foot tall. Because they have not seen the wind, their bright green color makes them look strange.
After cutting the leeks, sorting and cleaning them, Su Anying happened to have bought some meat, so she kneaded the noodles, chopped the meat, cut the vegetables, and mixed the stuffing.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Guilan led her daughter-in-law and sisters Su Anhua to start making dumplings.
When Xu Haiyuan and others came home from school and shouted that they were hungry when they walked in, most of the dumplings were already filled.
So I went to light a fire and boil water. I finished making the dumplings and the water in the pot was boiling. I quickly cooked the dumplings.
Before Xu Haiyuan finished his homework, the first pot of dumplings was already cooked.
The unique fragrance of the leek stuffed dumplings permeates the whole house, and you can even smell the fragrance in the yard.
"Come here, let's eat some dumplings. These dumplings are stuffed with leeks and meat. Today's dumplings will satisfy your cravings."
I said this to Xu Haiyuan, Xu Jinping and other little kids.
The children who were already hungry could not hold back when they smelled the aroma of dumplings.
One by one, they quickly washed their hands and sat at the table, waiting for their meal.
