Chapter 694: Unplanned Pregnancy 21

1.

At 8:55, Qu Aiying appeared at the gate of the Hushan Town Government on time, Feng Shu was already waiting there, and he had already prepared candy, melon seeds and cigarettes in advance according to Qu Aiying's instructions last night.

Qu Aiying smiled sweetly, reached out to hold Feng Shu's arm, and the two of them stepped into the town government compound.

One is a chic talent as gentle and elegant as Yushulin, and the other is a beautiful woman with an outstanding demeanor like a hibiscus out of the water, Qu Aiying and Feng Shu appeared hand in hand in the town government compound, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Feng Shu kept smiling and greeting the people he knew well in the government compound, while Qu Aiying kept smiling and handing out candy and cigarettes on the side, and the people who ate candy and smoked cigarettes certainly did not skimp on the blessings in their mouths. Especially when Liu Weicai, director of the Letters and Visits Office, appeared, and when those people in the government compound learned about the relationship between Liu Weicai, Qu Aiying, and Feng Shu, the congratulations and compliments kept echoing in the ears of Feng Shu and Qu Aiying like a goddess scattering flowers.

In the sound of everyone's blessings, Liu Weicai led Feng Shu and Qu Aiying to the civil affairs office.

On the last row of houses in the town government, close to the wall of the government compound, there is only one room in the office, and there is a mottled white long wooden sign hanging at the door, which reads "Hushan Town Civil Affairs Office of Huxian County" in several black Song characters, which looks inconspicuous.

The furnishings of the office are also very simple, with two desks, two office chairs, a telephone, two filing cabinets, and two long wooden bench chairs for the reception of the public, and nothing else, but even so, the small space seems slightly cramped.

There are only two staff members of the Hushan Town Civil Affairs Office, one is an old director in his 50s, and the other is an accountant and clerk in his thirties. The bereavement allowance and preferential treatment for the families of active-duty soldiers, as well as the support work for the town's five guarantees and subsistence allowances, as well as the funeral management work and the handling of marriage and divorce procedures (after 2000, the handling of marriage and divorce procedures was transferred to the county civil affairs bureau), the workload can be imagined.

It's just that because the social security system was not perfect at all in the 90s of the last century, the township grassroots civil affairs offices seemed to have to manage a lot of things and involved a lot of business scope, but in fact, the work that the civil affairs office staff had to do on weekdays was to handle marriage and divorce certificates, and as for the other work, they were just regulations and plans that were empty on the wall.

Even those who apply for marriage certificates and divorce certificates are not available every day, so these two staff members of the civil affairs office are sometimes really uncomfortable.

Just like now, when Liu Weicai led Qu Aiying and Feng Shu into the office of the Civil Affairs Office, the old director of the Civil Affairs Office was sitting boredly in the office with the clerk and bragging and drinking tea.

Someone came to the door, and the old director and clerk naturally welcomed it, especially those who came to go through the marriage formalities.

Because according to the usual practice, the newlyweds who come to the civil affairs office to go through the marriage formalities will bring a little candy, melon seeds, peanuts and cigarettes and other things, these things have invisibly become the hidden benefits of the civil affairs office, anyway, it is a happy thing, it is not considered to be a bribe or a gift, the person who gives it is willing, and the person who receives it does not need to be polite, and the discipline inspection and anti-corruption departments will not take these small things seriously. Although things are inconspicuous, don't underestimate this bit of melon seeds, candy and cigarettes, but the same can add up, and the old director and the clerk's family almost don't have to buy this kind of thing for a year. If you encounter a generous local tyrant, the cigarettes are given one by one, and sometimes two people can't finish smoking and send them to the commissary to sell on behalf of them.

Now, when the old director saw Qu Aiying and Feng Shu who came to the door carrying large bags and small bags, their eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and they were naturally happy when a newcomer came to the door, not to mention that the newcomers were personally brought over by Liu Weicai, director of the Letters and Visits Office? Although the Letters and Visits Office and the Civil Affairs Office belong to the same unit-level units, the director of the Letters and Visits Office is a low-level and high-level cadre, and Liu Weicai is a serious deputy bureau-level cadre with an unlimited future.

Liu Weicai gave a brief introduction to Qu Aiying, Feng Shu and the old director, and after some greetings, the old director instructed the clerk to make a special case, immediately stop all the work in hand, and immediately go through the marriage registration procedures for Feng Shu and Qu Aiying.

The old director said it in a way that sounded high-sounding, and the clerk held back a smile, took out the registration book and began to go through the marriage registration procedures for Feng Shu and Qu Aiying.

Liu Weicai was chatting with the old director while drinking tea, and the old director flattered Liu Weicai very much and coaxed Liu Weicai to the heart.

Under the flattery and flattery of the old director of the civil affairs office, Liu Weicai took the initiative to invite the old director and clerk to a banquet at the "Longquan Restaurant" at noon.

Compared with other government departments such as the Family Planning Office, the Police Station, and the Letters and Visits Office, the Civil Affairs Office belongs to the Qingshui Yamen, and there are not many opportunities to accept banquets from fraternal units on weekdays. Seeing that the wind was making the rudder, the old director immediately thanked Liu Weicai for his generosity, and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum with wrinkles on his face.

"Even if it's a friendship activity between the Civil Affairs Office and the Letters and Visits Office..." This is what Liu Weicai said to the old director in the conversation. There is no doubt that this banquet must have been public funds again.
