Hearing Lu Tao's nephew ask about his salary, a smile appeared on Zhang Cheng's face, which had become red from drinking: "Big nephew, you have to study hard, and this job will become more and more difficult to find in the future." Uncle doesn't hide it from you, I have been in the Water Conservancy Bureau for seven or eight years, and now I am the deputy director. “

Zhang Cheng's words before sounded to Lu Tao, there was some truth, but it was certainly not all. Don't look at the words that often say that the rice bucket is in the organ and the master is in the people, if you really want to talk about it, you can enter the system, and you have more or less your own ability, but it is not all about relationships and connections as everyone says. Besides, the times are advancing, and some of the problems left over from the past will be gradually resolved.

There must be an opportunity, but Lu Tao didn't plan to develop in that direction at all, the reason why he asked Zhang Cheng's salary was actually just a judgment in his heart.

The deputy director, that is, the deputy section level, does not have a large official position, and as for power, it depends on the specific division of labor. However, judging from Zhang Cheng's words, Lu Tao didn't think he had much real power.

"It turns out that my uncle is the director. Lu Tao pretended to compliment and said.

"Vice, vice. Zhang Cheng hurriedly corrected and said.

"The deputy is also the director, and I wish my uncle a high promotion in the future. Lu Tao toasted again.

On this occasion, being blessed with a promotion, Zhang Cheng was naturally happy in his heart: "Eldest nephew, it's not that you don't help you when you are an uncle, but when you enter our unit, you, you are indeed almost a little hot." “

Lu Tao nodded and said: "That's for sure, I didn't think I could enter a unit like my uncle, after all, the treatment is good, and it is an iron rice bowl." “

"Young people, you have to quit being impatient, and after graduation, you can honestly find a job and do it first, so that you can reduce the burden on your second brother. Zhang Cheng said earnestly.

"What the uncle said is reasonable, since the uncle is the director, presumably this salary is a lot a month, right?" Lu Tao made a look of great interest and asked again.

"Needless to say, I didn't see our family, so your uncle bought a car. Aunt Zhang Ju was showing off on the side, as if she was working in the Water Conservancy Bureau.

As soon as the salary was mentioned, the uncle's sense of superiority came, and in front of a group of poor relatives, he said that he had a good job and money, which was a happy thing.

He didn't show it on his face, and said a little modestly: "Not much, not much, it's about 1,000 in a month." “

"1000?" The eyes of the people at the table widened, with envy, surprise, and sigh.

"This job is different, we croppers, all year round, feeding pigs, chickens and farming, add up to three or four thousand yuan, and it can't withstand your four months' salary. “

"That's why I said let everyone go out and walk more, don't stay in this mountain. Seeing everyone's envious eyes, Zhang Cheng's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but say.

"It seems that I have to go out in the future, and I can't stay at home. It's hard work, and there's no money. ”

Lu Tao smiled, and said secretly in his heart: Hehe, a salary of 1,000, if the Jetta car is not second-hand, the market price is about 150,000, how much teenagers can afford to buy with this salary?

Obviously, what this uncle said was not true, and Lu Tao knew it in his heart. However, he just guessed what others were secretly doing, and there was no real evidence, so it was not good to say anything directly.

After eating, everyone had nothing to do, and they put together the table to play mahjong. Zhang Cheng, who was a little drunk, looked at Lu Tao and said, "Nephew, come and rub two handfuls with your uncle, there is no one in the village, what's the point of sitting there." ”

Now that the director has spoken, everyone can't miss other people's Yaxing. Lu Tao's parents strongly oppose him playing mahjong, after all, the student, and the family has no money, and playing mahjong yesterday was so unpleasant, and at this time they were even more reluctant to cause trouble.

"I said second brother, just now I was saying that Lu Tao has less knowledge, do you know what is popular in the provincial city now? Make friends at the poker table, if you really want Lu Tao to enter the agency or have a good development in the future, you can't stop these things. Zhang Cheng looked at Lu Tao's father and glared, and said drunkenly.

"Dad, Mom, just let me play with my uncle for a while. Because of yesterday's incident, Lu Tao has not been very happy. He is not a mud kneader, he has always been looked down upon by his relatives, and he is somewhat angry. If it weren't for the elders, plus the reliving of a lifetime, the temperament has also changed a little, and I would have to go back directly yesterday.

When Zhang Cheng said this, Lu Tao's father finally stopped stopping him, and just said, "Don't fight big." While admonishing in his mouth, he took out a handful of change from his clothes pocket, all of which were five yuan and two pieces, and he was about to stuff them into Lu Tao's hand as the capital for playing mahjong.

Lu Tao pushed back directly: "Dad, I have this." When he came back, he had already taken 3,000 yuan in the county seat, all of which were dark green and big, all of which were 100 yuan, and he had been carrying them on his body, in order to make some pocket flowers during the New Year.

He never told his parents about the business he did at school, and he had his own considerations. With his parents' personality and temper, they would not agree to him doing business at school under any circumstances. It's okay to do part-time work, but if you really want to do this kind of business of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid you will scare your parents enough to say it.

They have never seen so much money in their lives, and the picture is also a stable and safe, not rich and expensive, if Lu Tao really says it, I am afraid that they will have to worry all day long, what to do if they lose, what to do if they are deceived, etc. So when Lu Tao came back, he had already thought about it, and only said that if he worked part-time at school, he would be able to earn just enough living expenses for a month. I can wait for a while to go to school, take advantage of this year's development, and then talk to them about it when all of them are on the road.

"Sister, hurry up, when you don't play during the New Year, what are you going to clean up. Zhang Cheng shouted as he lifted the mahjong to the table.

So, Lu Tao and his aunt, as well as Zhang Cheng and a teacher in another town, Lu Tao wanted to call him his cousin, and a total of four people began to play mahjong.

"You say, how much to play?" The rules at the poker table, this must be set first, and it will not be clear when you can save it. Zhang Cheng directly took out 5 brand-new 100 pieces from his coat pocket and slapped them on the table with a bang.

"Take the 500 yuan first, and it's your ability to win. ”

Playing cards, this momentum can not be lost, although the other three people did not have Zhang Cheng so arrogant, playing mahjong directly threw out 500, but they still took out money from their pockets and put it on the table.

"I'm not as rich as my brother, I'm just 400 yuan, and I won't come if I lose. My aunt also took out the money from her butt pocket and said.

"You're all rich. The cousin lifted the glasses on the tip of his nose, looked at the money taken out by the two siblings, and said.

Lu Tao looked at him, there were change and whole money on the table, which looked like about three hundred yuan.

When it was Lu Tao's turn, I saw him slowly take out a hundred yuan from his pocket, and said to a few people: "Aunt, uncle, you have to take it easy, don't fight too much." “

"Young people, you have to have courage and courage, you are afraid of this and that when you play mahjong, what will you do when you go out of society in the future?" Zhang Cheng, who was so drunk, widened his eyes and was a little dissatisfied.

A few people roughly revealed their family background, and began to set the rules.

"In this way, let's not talk about playing well, we are all relatives, and it's not good to lose more and win more. Just hit 1 piece, fire 1 piece, cap 8 pieces, what do you say?"

"1 yuan? This is too small, how can I find so much change?" Zhang Cheng said with the strength of the wine.

"Uncle, how much do you say? Lu Tao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I play mahjong in the city, and the minimum is 10 yuan, let's not talk about that, just half of it, play 5 yuan, 20 caps. ”
