Chapter 113: One Step Away
Sister Xiaoru smiled and said, "I thought our family was going to change the dynasty, and you want to be the head of the family?"
Katsuko had a smile on her face: "How dare I? I'm good at being a hotel manager at home, responsible for making money for you, my son and my father's mother, and I don't have the ability to be the head of the family." ”
Sister Xiaoru looked at her husband's expression, laughed out loud and said, "I heard half of what you said just now, do you want to raise a dog or something else?"
Shengzi said that Uncle Ball and his own thoughts, Sister Xiaoru said that this is a good thing, find a companion for Da Le, and let Da Le walk around, and said that if you can't buy two, you can also train one for Uncle Xiao.
Sister Xiaoru told her grandparents about this idea, and as a result, there were different opinions: grandpa agreed, grandma disagreed.
Grandpa's point of view is that the child will still have to go out of the mountains in the future, and he doesn't want the child to nest in the mountains for the rest of his life.
Grandma said: You said that Dale is so small, now use a guide dog, how long is the life of the dog? In the future, the road of Dale is still long, I don't mean to say that it is not good to use a guide dog, but I am afraid that after the child has dependence in the future, he will not be able to do without, or rely on himself, exercise more.
In the end, it was Da Le's own idea: Grandparents don't worry, I don't need any guide dogs, I only need the radio, doesn't my father don't use guide dogs? Isn't it good for me to follow my father? The radio is my paradise, and storytelling is my favorite thing to listen to, I think about it, I want to accompany my father for a lifetime, and I will go wherever my father goes, and I will never be separated.
After listening to the radio, Dale's speaking level has improved greatly.
The second brother-in-law came back to fish in the lake that day, and when he heard about it, he went back and bought the latest walkman in the market, plus a lot of CDs of famous storytellers: Shan Tianfang's, Liu Lanfang's, Yuan Kuocheng's, etc., which were very famous storytelling artists at the time, and there were many unknown ones, almost all of which were on the market were bought, so that the second aunt was sent home the next day. I'll tell you when I learn it!
After waiting for Da Le to sit happily and listen to the book, the grandfather asked the second aunt with a solemn face: "What's wrong with Dachengzi this year, why are you still obsessed with fishing? The work of the unit is not busy? I don't think the attitude of the past year or so is wrong, it seems that there is something on my mind." You tell my father, I asked him a few times, and he said that there was nothing wrong, saying that he was the third-in-command in the unit, and he didn't have much work arrangement, and he liked fishing when he was free, and he also quit smoking, which is a good thing. ”
The second aunt also had a sad face when she saw her grandfather mention her husband's affairs: "Dad, you still don't know Dachengzi?" I never talk about things at work, and he doesn't let my colleagues go to the house. I also asked tentatively, he said that I should not intervene in the work matters, and whoever comes to the house with things is not allowed to stay, don't leave a handle for others, Dad, I think so, it is estimated that eighty percent of the work is not going well, do you think, now the Land Bureau is more popular, can he do less? But his temper ...... Alas, I don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid he's going to get sick. ”
After hearing this, Grandpa said: "I guess it's too, Dachengzi has a straight temper, I'm afraid that he won't come to the leader, so Erya, I'm asking him when he comes back next time, and I can't keep it in my heart if I have something." ”
The day the second aunt came back happened to be the day when Aunt Yan was going to go for a prenatal checkup, and Aunt Yan didn't listen to the second aunt, so she continued to check in the hospital in the town.
The second aunt said that I will accompany you to the town hospital.
The second brother-in-law came back every time he drove his motorcycle, with a fishing bag tied to the car, sometimes it was one person, sometimes it was two or three people, it started early on the weekend morning, and went to the lake to fish for a day, sometimes it was too late and lived at home, and when the weather was warm, there were more people who came back, and sometimes they came back on weekdays.
At breakfast that day, the second brother-in-law came again, this time alone, he went into the house and talked to his grandparents, and the grandfather asked him to have breakfast. He said that he had eaten on the way, and that the fish in the morning were good for fishing, so he hurriedly got on his motorcycle and left.
Grandpa looked at the back of his second brother-in-law and thought: It's time to talk to him today.
When it was almost noon, my grandfather dialed the second brother-in-law's mobile phone: "Dachengzi, I've been fishing all morning, come back at noon, and drink with my father." ”
The second brother-in-law on the other end of the phone seemed to be very happy: "Okay, Dad, it just so happens that I am fishing for two big carp, and I will make braised carp when I go home." ”
Half an hour later, the second brother-in-law came back and cooked the fresh carp himself.
When the children finished eating, grandma and they also finished eating, and there were grandfathers and second brothers-in-law left on the dinner table, the two of them chatted and drank casually.
Grandpa didn't think about how to speak, just thought of something and chatted, grandpa said: "Dachengzi, you drive a motorcycle from the city back to fish, slow down on the road, now there are more and more cars." ”
The second brother-in-law said: "Dad, it's okay, it's only a few dozen kilometers away, and besides, I have a special vehicle driver's license, not to mention driving a two-wheeled motorcycle, it's a three-wheeled one, an armored personnel carrier, and a tank, it's no problem, this dad can rest assured." ”
When the second brother-in-law began to speak, his eyes were still bright, but when he talked about the life of the army in the second half of the sentence, his eyes were a little dim, and his speed of speech was a little slower.
Grandpa finally seized the opportunity to speak: "Dachengzi, I found that you have changed more than a year in the past year, and you have become silent and unopen. You weren't like this before, there must be something difficult to entangle you, stumped, don't be too long-winded, you said nothing when I asked you a few times, although my father has not participated in the work, but my father is not confused, today we have no outsiders, why not open the skylight and say bright words, can you open up and talk to your father, and save the second girl to worry about you. ”
The second brother-in-law looked at his grandfather's sincere face and did not refuse again: "Dad, it's just the two of us today, it's okay, since you asked here, I have nothing to hide, I told you all the difficulties I have encountered recently, give you a good chatter, and you can also help me with the staff officer." ”
The second brother-in-law said: "Dad, you know that I came back from the army, or my fellow villagers and leaders helped to find a resettlement unit, and I entered the Land Bureau as a relatively low-ranking deputy director, when I first came, I was afraid that I didn't understand the business, so I worked overtime to study the business, and I also signed up for the business training class, and I was basically handy in less than half a year.
The old boss was very happy and said that he was not wrong about me, I was a general who did something like something. The encouragement from my old boss made me even more determined to work hard. Just when I was about to cooperate with my old superiors to make a big deal again, the old leader was unexpectedly transferred, not only was not reused, but went to a less important department to be the leader, in fact, it was idle, and soon a new director took over his position.
When I went to see my old boss, the old boss said more than once that the new director had spent a lot of money to replace him, and I had long known that this person was good at drilling, scheming, and sycophant, so I asked me to be careful of this new boss.
The old boss was depressed, his talents could not be brought into play, alas, it is a pity that not long after taking office, he died in a car accident on the way on a business trip, I was very sad for a while, I lost a mentor and friend who shared weal and woe, life and death.
When the new director first came, he was very good to me, saying that the quality of the people who had been a soldier and on the battlefield was different, and he also adjusted the work I was in charge of, which seemed to be not a promotion, but in fact, he had a lot of power in his hands, and he had a heavy voice in the meeting, and he was still ranked high. I didn't send him a penny, I didn't even invite him to dinner alone, and he really took a fancy to my ability to work?
Later, it turned out that the old superior did not wronged him at all, and why I reused it was only later that I understood.
After he took office, all aspects of the bureau began to change slowly, there were more meals at noon, more entertainment activities in the evening, more movement during the New Year's holidays, fewer daytime visits to the bureau to handle land business, more meetings in high-end hotels than to the office, more gifts of all kinds, and more and more high-end things.
Dad, do you remember what my fourth brother wrote to me last year? I told everyone a lie that day, and that was the first and only time I lied at home, and the reason was very simple, I had begun to join the crowd before I knew it.
At first, I was very disgusted with this way of working, I would do something in the unit, and appropriate entertainment was not unavoidable, after all, everyone worked together, after all, they also accepted our services, I really thought so at the time, and began to accept all this slowly with peace of mind.
After I was reused by the new director, more and more people came to me, just like a joke said, basically around the plate at noon and around the skirt at night. That is to say, I drink during the day and have fun at night, I can't dance or play mahjong, and those who ask me to do things try their best to win me over and echo me, so that I can't say a word in all aspects.
As the saying goes: eating other people's mouths is short, and taking other people's hands is short, that is, if there are any inappropriate and illegal procedures, I have to turn a blind eye. On New Year's Day, my desk drawer was stuffed with cash and all kinds of shopping cards, I didn't think about it, I was breaking the law, this was a point of no return, but I was really shaken at the time, it was a lot of money, my salary for several years! Not including shopping cards and gift cards that I don't know how much money I have. ”
When the second brother-in-law said this, he looked at his grandfather's surprised appearance, raised his wine glass and said, "Come, Dad, don't just listen to me, I'll talk about it after a drink." ”
Grandpa said worriedly, "So much money, then ...... you?"
The second brother-in-law picked up the wine glass for his grandfather and handed it to his grandfather, and touched it with his own wine glass: "Dad, don't worry, don't be afraid, I haven't finished talking yet, let's drink another one, and I'll talk about it after drinking." ”
After speaking, he drank slowly, and grandpa held the wine glass, and after thinking about it, he drank it, and there was a lot of excess.
