Yesterday I was busy all afternoon, digging lotus roots, picking vegetables, catching fish and crabs, and stuffed Brother Rice Tong's Land Rover to the brim.
Mr. Cai left Wu Li's family in a flash with a box of colorful treasures, two treasure-grade medicinal materials, and a cart full of local products from Wu Li's family.
After seeing them off, Wu Li was busy stuffing the cars of Rich Man Wang and Manager Zhao. After eating and drinking, the two loving couples, Mr. Wang and Manager Zhao, drove home in a hurry.
went.
Enough fun over the weekend, it’s time to start working again tomorrow.
There were not many guests at home, and Wu Li had a lot less things to do. He had a good night's sleep. Early in the morning, he dragged Han Qiu and Yuan Fei, who were asleep, to the vegetable greenhouse to water and weed the vegetable seedlings.
Yuan Fei was a little emotional at the large section of vegetable seedlings and the densely packed weeds.
It’s true that this vegetable grows quickly, but if we don’t pull and weed diligently, I’m afraid the weeds will submerge the vegetable in just a few days.
Wu Lizheng and Yuan Fei were hoeing and digging in the greenhouse, talking and laughing together, when the phone in their pocket rang.
"Good morning, Director Xiao. I haven't been here to play for a while. If you call me so early in the morning, you must have some important instructions." Wu Li saw that the call was from Director Xiao, and it was immediately a joke.
The little flattery is gone.
"You are pretending to be one of my soldiers, right? You said you haven't shown your face to the Construction Bureau for how many days. But someone down below reported this situation to me."
"Hey, hey, I really haven't been to our unit to work that often."
"What do you mean, you haven't been to work in our unit much? Apart from coming to report and treating your colleagues to a meal, you have never been to the unit or showed your face even once.
Your colleagues have mentioned it to me, saying that it is understandable that you, a grassroots observer, do not work.
However, it would be too much to not receive salary, bonuses, benefits, etc.
They said if you don’t come over and treat them to a meal, they will use your salary to have a dinner, your bonus to have fun, and everyone will get a share of the benefits.”
Director Xiao was obviously in a good mood, and there was a hint of joy in his words.
"Wouldn't the leader call us, a small soldier under your command, to say hello early in the morning just for such a trivial matter? Could it be that the tea leaves have already been given away by the leader as a favor? So..."
"I treasure your tea leaves. Most people don't let them know that I have such a good thing. However, I have something to ask you today. Xiaoli came to the bureau today to give me the resignation procedures.
Go ahead and settle the salary, bonus and benefits for the past two months, and then you can get out."
"What? I'm being expelled from the civil service just like this? This is too soon. I still want to hang around for a few more years and become a director-level clerk, so that I can honor my ancestors."
Wu Li had always regarded this job as a civil servant as useless and tasteless, so he abandoned it because his sister-in-law would not let him resign.
"I'm kidding you. The Municipal Government Secretariat officially sent a document to the Construction Bureau, saying that Wu Li is a good comrade. This comrade's specialties are very outstanding. The country needs such comrades to be in more important positions so that their specialties can be fully utilized.
Come out and contribute more to the construction of a socialist New China. Therefore, Comrade Wu Li is specially seconded to the Municipal Secretariat to put a heavy burden on this comrade, hoping that Comrade Wu Li will grow into a more outstanding comrade."
"Leader, if this news is true or not, why did I go to the largest government office in our city so quickly? Is it okay if I don't go? I still think our unit is better."
"You're so free. You'll have no one to care about you when you're not at work all day long. At the end of the month, your salary, bonuses, and benefits will still be the same, right? You're stupid. When you get there, our leaders will protect you. You're not going to be like a fish in water."
Don't worry, the boss knows that you are a busy person who is even busier than him, so now he is going to give you a temporary job. At most, you will be asked to go to the boss a few times a month, and it is called reporting work. I'm afraid
Thinking about your tea souvenirs or something is the purpose."
"Looking like this, we might as well consider it. It's better to have a big tree at your back so you can stay cool."
"As long as you understand, come here early in the morning to go through the formalities. After completing the resignation formalities, someone will pick you up and report to the Municipal Government Secretariat. Boy, don't forget to support your old boss when you are successful in the future. Anyway, I have done both of you.
Where is the leader of Yue?"
"Director Khan, you are really kidding me about being a civil servant. You are the only one who always takes care of me. How can it be my turn to take care of and lead you?"
"As the old saying goes, don't bully a young man. I am in such a high grade, and I have already seen the road ahead very clearly. Unlike you, Xiaoli, although you became a monk by the wayside and came from a wild background, you have skills, and the leaders value you very much.
You, as you said, it is easy to enjoy the shade with the big tree at your back. As long as Xiaoli will study hard and figure out how to be a civil servant in the future, but if he can gain something, his future is limitless. If Xiaoli really succeeds, I wonder if I will ask for it that day.
It’s on your head.”
"The leader was joking. No matter what you say, I am just a waiter. Now that the leader is young, his future is unlimited."
"Come on, I don't know myself yet. Okay, that's it. Bring a bottle of tea with you when you come. If anything happens, we can chat while making tea." Director Xiao felt that his cell phone was a little warm.
, so he stopped talking to Wu Li and hung up the phone directly.
"That call from Director Xiao? Are you going to be transferred?" Yuan Fei had heard that Wu Li had taken a false position in the Construction Bureau. From what Wu Li had just said, it seemed that he was going to transfer his connections to the municipal government.
"Yes, everything is arranged by Mayor Zhou, so I should go to the city government and take a job as a casualty. In the future, he will ask me to stop drinking, so that my company's identity will not even be mentioned on the stage, and there will be no chance at all.
Hold back his drink."
"Comrade, please treat revolutionary work with a serious attitude. You can comment on your leaders casually even behind your back, and you can't say things behind your back that your leaders don't want to hear. Walls have ears, and you can't trust anyone except yourself.
If you don’t understand this bit of common sense, how can you do a good job in revolutionary work, and how can you be considered a competent worker?"
Yuan Fei put on a pretty face and pretended to be serious, but it turned out to be the real thing. Unfortunately, her smart eyes and the seriousness of the words she said were very serious, which made Wu Li very happy.
"Listen to the leader and follow the leader's footsteps, just to say bad things about the leader. I will keep it to myself from now on."
"As long as you understand, let's stop here today. I'll get you a bowl of noodles first and then we'll set off early."
Yuan Fei knew that Wu Li didn't care much about his job as a civil servant, but many people in his family cared about Wu Li's status as a civil servant.
For example, the eldest sister and brother-in-law next door.
For example, the village chief and others.
Another example: my own wife.
"Well, that's troublesome, Fei. I'm going to take a shower first and change into the clothes of a human model or a dog model. I can't go out to meet people wearing these big vests and pants."
"Although we are used to seeing you in this way, with your image, the gatekeeper would have thought you were a poor boy from the country who went to climb the branches of his relatives in the city."
"Hehe, with the equipment we have, we are not only poor country boys, but also extremely worthless little bastards."
"I can't help you, go and take a bath, I'll make some noodles for you."
The two of them held hands all the way to the front yard. Yuan Fei gently broke away from Wu Li's warm hand and went to the kitchen to make some noodles for Wu Li.
Wu Li tickled the briquettes and let them fall asleep on the thick legs of the fat man who was sleeping under the grape trellis.
Wu Li hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes. When he went to the kitchen, he saw that Yuan Fei was already filling the soup basin with noodles.
"It smells so good." Wu Li sniffed and praised it sincerely.
"It's only because your ingredients are so good that you can cook it with this aroma. Take it out and eat it yourself, I'll clean the pot."
"Why are you just cooking a bowl? Fei girl wants to eat with me. Then wash the pot quickly and come out and I'll feed you."
"I don't want to. I'll eat sweet potato porridge with everyone later. I'm cooking sweet potato porridge for the first time today. I want to leave my belly to them."
When Yuan Fei heard that Wu Li was going to feed her, she felt a bit dumbfounded. In the past, she could often see such loving young people at school or at the McDonald's, feeding her back and forth.
If you are not so superficial that you want to feed each other in public, it is a sign of love.
Love is actually not for show
For example, a big boss like Boss Wang always comes to Wu Li's house with his sister-in-law to eat and drink every weekend. Although they come here and do their own thing and don't interfere with each other, today my sister-in-law just picks up a few extra chopsticks to make stir-fried lotus root.
, he missed the big fat lotus root.
The same goes for Manager Zhao and his wife. They usually think about each other and serve each other soup and vegetables very naturally. They don't need to do anything deliberately to make others think they are very affectionate, such as feeding them.
"Come on, let's try your own cooking. If you don't try it first, I won't dare to eat it no matter how delicious it is."
Just as Yuan Fei was thinking about a bunch of philosophical questions about how love is not just for show, Wu Li took a chopstick and put his favorite eggs to his mouth.
"I'm not even hungry, you can eat your own."
Yuan Fei rolled her eyes at Wu Li, squeezed a little detergent and washed her hands.
"Fei girl, if you don't want to eat it, I really don't dare to eat it. Just one bite, just this one bite. If you eat it, I will eat mine right away."
Wu Li was so shameless. In order to achieve his goal, he even used the magical skill of shadowing and sending the golden-yellow hard-boiled egg in front of Yuan Fei's little mouth.
"Isn't it annoying? It's all over and you're not hungry."
"Just one bite, just this one bite"
"Well, this is the only bite."
Yuan Fei finally ate the fragrant eggs with her eyes closed.
So fragrant
"Here, have another bite."
"You're such a shameless person. You promised to take one bite but didn't eat it."
"It's just this one mouthful, such a big bowl, let's help eliminate some of it."
"Humph, seeing how pitifully you are begging me, I will give you some face."
Lao Peng died from exhaustion. Come and comfort me with some flowers.
