Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, my parents are finally coming back, the train at 05:30 in the afternoon.

Wang Hongtao set off after lunch, and drove his nearest special car to Yanzhou to pick up his parents.

It's been almost two years since my parents came home for the first time.

With or "woo woo" entering the station, Wang Hongtao was also waiting anxiously at the exit.

With the surge of people, I finally saw the figures of my parents.

Seeing his parents wearing cheap clothes and carrying the New Year's necessities they brought home in big bags, with their haggard faces and exhausted bodies, Wang Hongtao felt sad in his heart.

He hurried over, snatched the luggage from his parents, and took it to the car.

Seeing her son skillfully opening the trunk with the car keys, the mother said in surprise, "Hong Tao, when did you learn to drive? Whose car is this?"

Wang Hongtao explained: "I learned to drive last year and got my driver's license. This is my unit's car."

Dad said with a look of disbelief: "The school will give you a car? Who did you lie to?"

There were too many people at the train station, so it was inconvenient to say more, so I asked my parents to get on the train first and left the train station.

On the way back, Wang Hongtao said seriously: "Mom and Dad, I changed careers last year, and now I am the secretary of the county magistrate of our Saibei County." After speaking, he waited for his parents to digest.

If not, the parents were stunned and looked at each other with disbelief.

Then, Wang Hongtao slowly explained his experience over the past year, including opening a barbecue restaurant and buying a house, everything he could say.

Hearing that Wang Hongtao bought two houses, his parents were dumbfounded again, feeling illusory.

I still couldn't believe it until I saw my new home.

However, after seeing the gentle and beautiful Liu Mengyao, she immediately returned to normal, and greeted her warmly, showing that she was very satisfied.

After going to the house his son bought for himself, seeing the house full of gifts, the two were shocked again and fell into deep worry at the same time.

Mom said impatiently: "Son, why did you accept so many presents? Don't you know what happened to your father?"

My father also had a sad face, hesitant to speak.

Wang Hongtao couldn't explain. He just said, "Mom and Dad, many things are not as you imagined. I can assure you that I have never collected any money. These are all human relations. I have a sense of proportion."

The changes at home are too great, too big to be imagined and unacceptable.

Wang Hongtao didn't say much, and let his parents figure it out on their own.

Fortunately, the family is finally reunited.The extra Xiaobin is also very natural. For three years as a teacher, Xiaobin came to the house frequently, and he is very familiar with him.

The dinner was prepared by my parents, very careful and serious.

The family sits together to eat warmly. Looking at the three sons, the parents feel very guilty.

In the evening, my parents went to live on the fourth floor, and I had to figure out many things by myself, so Wang Hongtao was not in a hurry.

The next day, the parents were much better, and they were slowly accepting the great changes at home, after all, they were all getting better.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family will work together to prepare for the New Year.

In the kitchen came the busy figures of parents, others were cleaning and pasting Spring Festival couplets, and the younger brothers went downstairs to set off firecrackers, and the whole family was beaming.

The New Year's Eve dinner is very rich. After all, the fourth floor is full of everything.

This was the most comfortable New Year's Eve dinner Wang Hongtao had ever had. Looking at the smiling parents, beautiful and lovely girlfriend, and obedient younger brothers, all the troubles seemed to dissipate, and nothing was important anymore. Happiness is the best.

After dinner, Wang Hongtao intended to have a heart-to-heart talk with his parents.

After they finished cleaning up, they said: "Mom and Dad, look, our house has changed for the better, and we don't need anything. I can take care of my two younger brothers, and I can take care of them. I don't want you to suffer, no matter what you do. Even if you don’t do it, I can take good care of you for the rest of your life.”

My parents have also discussed it for a few days, and I have to say something, and I have to say it.

My mother said: "Son, you have grown up and are capable. Parents are very pleased! But you have to go to the capital, otherwise you will not be able to explain to your uncle, and we have called your aunt and uncle down, so we will not be able to come back." Also, your dad can't get over that hurdle in his heart, even if we come back, we will go back to our hometown and not live in Saibei."

It seems that the test in Dad's heart is still not over, and this matter cannot be forced.

Dad also said: "Hong Tao, you are only 21 after the new year, you tell Dad to slow down, Dad really doesn't want to go back to Saibei. Also, you are promising, Dad hopes you don't take detours, and do things carefully , to be more promising in the future.”

The matter has come to this point, talking too much will affect the mood of the New Year, I can only say: "Mom and Dad, I respect you, no matter what, you can rest assured at home, I have everything!"

Parents nodded in relief.

The family lived happily for a year, and the two younger brothers became more like children.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my parents packed their bags and left, and Wang Hongtao drove them to Yanzhou Railway Station.

After returning home, feeling empty in her heart, Liu Mengyao took Wang Haohai's hand and kept comforting her.The two younger brothers also looked disheartened, very reluctant to leave their parents.

On the sixth day, Liu Mengyao also went back, only sent to Yanzhou, not allowed to follow home, Wang Hongtao did not force it, after all, he had to pay more attention to what should be paid attention to.

On the seventh day, take leave.

I followed Guo Mingxiong to two townships, three units, schools, hospitals, traffic police and other departments. It was not only for the inspection of counterfeit goods, but also for New Year's greetings.

In the past few days, everyone felt as if the New Year hadn't ended yet. No matter whether it was cadres, enterprises, or the masses, they rarely did anything. It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that students accepted false registrations that everything started to be normal.

Before going to work, the students got together again, and then those who should go to school went to school, and those who should go to work went to work. Except for Wang Hongtao, the other students were teaching in the township.

After work, colleagues seem to be reunited after a long absence, and there is one scene after another in the wine market.

My younger brother Haowei passed the entrance examination to Yanzhou Middle School as he wished, and we will continue to pay attention to and care about his study and living conditions.

As for the third child, he also entered the top [-] in the grade, which was a bit unexpected. After his brother left school, he did not retreat but advanced. It was all thanks to Xiaobin. Of course, he must have worked hard himself.

At the standing committee meeting, the secretary and the county magistrate once again had a disagreement, and the two communicated for a long time after the meeting.

When he returned to the office, Guo Mingxiong complained to Wang Hongtao with a dark face.Wang Hongtao felt that the two were purely in conflict of ideas, and the secretary was about to retire to the second line, so he tried to arrange his own people as much as possible, regardless of work ability and qualifications, and the county magistrate considered personnel arrangements more from work.

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, the county magistrate called Wang Hongtao to the city hall to report to Mayor Lin.

While chatting with Director Liu Feihu, Guo Mingxiong came out with a happy face. Wang Haohai guessed that the mayor had promised something.

Coming out of the municipal government, Guo Mingxiong invited a few friends to dinner, including the deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, the deputy director of the Finance Bureau, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and even Chen Dong, the chief of the third department of the municipal government office. Wang Hongtao was very surprised, and vaguely felt something. What.

Alcohol and cigarettes were always kept in the car, and Wang Hongtao made arrangements for logistics support.

During the dinner, everyone behaved normally, talking about work, talking about friendship, and making some indecent jokes.

Wang Hongtao took the initiative to have a few drinks with Chen Dong, and his attitude was very enthusiastic.

Chen Dong was actually a little surprised at today's gathering. Except for County Magistrate Guo, he was really unfamiliar. He didn't know why he invited him. He also wanted to get some clues from Wang Hongtao, so he warmly toasted to reminisce.

The two had worked together in the city government office for two months. Although they didn't speak a few words, they felt like they had become good colleagues.

Guo Mingxiong glanced at Wang Hongtao meaningfully, nodded his head, and Wang Hongtao immediately understood that the two had a tacit understanding.

After clinking another glass, Wang Hongtao said in a low voice, "Section Chief, maybe you're going to be promoted!"

Chen Dong was very surprised, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Hong Tao, what's the matter? Brother is confused, you can't let him be so annoying!"

Wang Hongtao said in a slightly mysterious way: "The secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Saibei has reached his age. The county magistrate Guo came to see Mayor Lin today, and the county magistrate specially asked you to come here tonight. Section chief, please think about it, but I can't say for sure. Can't count!"

In a few words, Chen Dong roughly understood the context of the matter, carefully considered the possibility of the matter, and was absent-minded even while drinking.

Before leaving, Chen Dong shook Wang Hongtao's hand vigorously and said, "Thank you, brother, I will remember it in my heart!"
