When I got to the third floor, I heard the sound of talking coming from the study with the door ajar open, and I walked over and pushed the door open, and sure enough, seven or eight people of all sizes were crowded inside, talking.

"Are you leaving?" Aunt Mao asked when she saw Zhang Xingming pushing the door in.

Zhang Xingming said: "No, I want to eat here, and I am preparing to make dumplings, I will come up and ask you to go down, meet and get to know each other, and make dumplings together." ”

Uncle Mao said: "No, okay? ”

Zhang Xingming was happy and said: "Isn't that right, Secretary Cong is also here, just solved the matter of your work, and get to know each other when you are done, before my brother and Sister Mao Lan get married, let these two secretaries get married one by one and the other marry, what do you think about when the time comes." ”

Sister Mao Lan glared at Zhang Xingming, Zhang Xingming raised her eyebrows at her, and her face turned red.

Uncle Mao and Aunt Mao glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of light, yes, that daughter's marriage is not an ordinary, so what else are you talking about, isn't it just making dumplings?

The group went downstairs, saying that Uncle Mao and Aunt Mao were still nervous, and the way to go downstairs was changed to a lady's step, but how long were the stairs?

The child was full of curiosity, running faster than a rabbit, and even the girl ran down after him, and when he got to the bottom, his face was red, and he ran directly to his mother's side and leaned on his mother's arms to find a sense of security, and looked at the old man and Secretary Cong curiously.

The younger brother was not afraid of anything, and even jumped to the side of the coffee table, holding the coffee table and looking at the old man, staring at the old man with dark eyes. The old mother said, "Little soldier, why is it so rude? ”

The younger brother immediately stood up straight and said, "Grandpa has a good New Year, Uncle has a good New Year, welcome to my house for the New Year, do you have a red envelope?"

The mother stretched out her hand and pulled the little brother to her side, slapped it, and said to the old man with a red face: "This is my youngest son, who has been used to it all day, no big or small." ”

The old man raised his hand and touched his body, and said, "Oh, I didn't bring any money, can I owe this red envelope first?

The younger brother said, "I don't believe it, how can an adult have no money?"

Mao Jun whispered on the side: "My father and your uncle have no money. ”

The younger brother suddenly realized, squinted at the old man and said, "Alas, okay, but grandpa, you have to save some private money, how can you do it if you don't have any money on you, my dad usually has no money, but he has private money." ”

Mom asked, "You see that your dad has private money?"

The younger brother said, "yes, aren't the ones he put in the safe?"

The old mother said to the old man with a smile and a smile: "His father's salary, he usually doesn't need him to spend money, so he bought all the treasury rolls directly in the unit, and I didn't care about it, so I let him collect it himself, but I was watched by these two little toys." ”

This is Uncle Mao and Aunt Mao came over, and my mother introduced: "Uncle, this is my in-laws, surnamed Mao, this is his daughter-in-law, this is her daughter-in-law, my eldest daughter-in-law, this is his son." Lao Mao, this is Erming's grandfather, Secretary Shen, you can also call him uncle. ”

Mao's father bowed down and shouted, "Uncle, you have a good New Year." Aunt Mao also shouted.

The old man smiled and beckoned, "Sit, sit, what a handsome girl, this head, you have done this preparation early enough." ”

The old mother smiled and said, "No, such a good daughter-in-law must not be raised early, and she will not regret dying if she runs away." Come to Lan, call grandpa. ”

Sister Mao Lan came over with a red face and bowed to the old man: "Grandpa, Happy New Year." ”

Immediately after that, the old brother, Mao Jun, and Xiaobing all came over to greet the old man and Secretary Cong, and the old man spoke one by one, and said with emotion: "This big family, it's so good." I envy you, this is life, this is happiness. ”

Zhang Xingming added water to the old man and Secretary Cong, and said: "People, they are animals that will never be satisfied, and their desires are endless, have you heard of that strange circle of envy, old man?"

The old man picked up the teacup and said, "What strange circle?"

Zhang Xingming added water to the person one by one, saying: "Those who walk envy those who ride bicycles, those who ride bicycles envy those who ride motorcycles, and those who ride motorcycles envy those who drive cars, but they don't expect that those who drive cars envy those who walk, because they are free and arbitrary, and there are no traffic lights."

The common people envy the rich, the rich envy the powerful, the powerful envy the powerful, and the powerful envy the common people, or free and arbitrary, without traffic lights. ”

The old man thought for a while, nodded and said: "It makes sense, it is very philosophical to compare, freedom is the most beautiful, and casualness is the most real." If you can't let it go, there's always something pushing you forward. ”

Dad came out of the kitchen with a basin and said, "Come down, it's just right, let's do it together, come on, make dumplings." ”

Everyone got up and pushed the table and took the chairs, and the dad and waiter brought out the mixed noodles and stuffing, and everyone went to wash their hands and open the bag.

While doing it, Zhang Xingming asked the second brother: "What do grandparents and grandparents eat at night?"

The second brother said, "I took the things and called the cook." ”

The old man asked the second brother, "Your parents, why don't you call here together, aren't they next door?"

My mother said, "Uncle, don't call it, you count how many of us there are?" They have a family of more than a dozen, and they can't put it down, and they have everything on that side, and the chef has also come." ”

The old man turned his head and looked around, shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm happy, I'm glaring, I'm ignoring, hey, this New Year, it's like this, it's like this, my heart is warm when I look at this big family." ”

Secretary Cong rolled up his sleeves to make dumplings, and said in a decent way, "Indeed, it feels different, it's much better than two or three of us going home." ”

Zhang Xingming interrupted and asked Secretary Cong: "Uncle Cong, which of your departments has a personnel transfer after the New Year?"

Secretary Cong turned his head to look at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xingming raised his chin at Uncle Mao and said: "My Uncle Mao, the head of the armed forces department of the concentrator plant, didn't he move here, I just thought about whether I could transfer his work over, so that I don't have to run on both sides all year round, and that time is all on the road." ”

Secretary Cong looked at Uncle Mao and asked, "How long have you been in the Ministry of Armed Forces?"

Uncle Mao said: "I have been in the armed forces department for the third year since the army came back and entered the factory, and it has been more than ten years now. ”

Secretary Cong looked at the old man, and the old man said, "Look at what I'm doing, I can't control the scope of your power." Besides, who doesn't have a three-relative relationship, this kind of job transfer is not illegal. ”

Secretary Cong said: "I think what you mean is that you may have to come forward in this matter." ”

The old man looked at him suspiciously, and Secretary Cong said: "Xiao Mao is a demobilized cadre, and he has been working in the Armed Forces Department since he came back, and he has a military membership. ”

The People's Armed Forces Department is a very complicated unit, it is jointly managed by the military, the provincial government, and the local government, and the people in the People's Armed Forces Department are local cadres and have military qualifications; generally the ministers of the people's armed forces departments of counties and districts are all with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the armed forces department of the enterprise depends on the level of the enterprise, but at worst it is also a major. The head of the armed forces department of Benxi Iron and Steel is a colonel with the rank of colonel, and the treatment of the department is at the level of the department, but later with the decline of Benxi Iron and Steel, the level has also been reduced again and again.
