Chapter 018 is a guest

When I arrived at the Education Bureau of Jinshui County, my hometown, and just after reporting to work, my colleagues in the Letters and Visits Department rushed to convey to me the major events and small affairs of the day before I came to report - "You don't know Xiao Zhong, our crooked monk Fang Shiyuan, section chief, attaches great importance to you, a college student transferred from the provincial administrative organ." Nearly forty years old, divorced for more than a year, with a child born with her ex-husband, everyone is used to respecting "Sister Chen" middle-aged female clerk, Chen Suyun took the lead to speak. "If you don't believe me, ask a few of them."

"Not at all. Because he was going to the city on an errand that day, he entrusted me, the deputy section chief, to organize a welcome for you the next day. Hou Ye, the deputy section chief who is more than 40 years old and widowed two years ago, is still single, also confirmed one after another; Then he shook his head suspiciously: "Hmph, I said that I was going to the city on business, who knows what to do!" So, everyone added to each other the details before he came to report to the office two days ago -- this is in the northeast corner of the county, a county-level administrative organ covering an area of about four or five acres, the county's education bureau. In the past, it was said that this was the "Qingshui Yamen", and the net in charge was the "Stinky Old Nine" and the "Child King", which had no legal power, and no "oil and water" He Guang could occupy, so the organ was like a "flowing water seat" and "passing shop"; Those who are tired of teaching and have no status are transferred from primary and secondary schools to the Education Bureau, and they reluctantly make the transition first, riding a horse to find a horse; Once you find your next home, you will be transferred out immediately. This was the state of affairs in the early years. However, since the reform and opening up, education has been valued; The Education Bureau is also in charge of the power of teachers' entry and exit, professional title evaluation, etc., so it seems that "the bare-bellied baby wears a big cloth shirt - Hula stands up", and it has also become a good unit that people in the county yearn for and compete for transfer. Looking at its building facilities, it must be regarded as a first-class county. It was against this backdrop that I was transferred to the Education Bureau.

It was only eight o'clock in the morning in the autumn, and the big brothers and sisters who drove private cars and motorcycles "took the lead in getting rich" drove on the road, and did not forget to look out the window of the car and say hello to the younger brothers and sisters who were still too poor to ride bicycles.

At this moment, the staff of the huge office of the Letters and Visits Section located on the first floor of the north floor of the office were originally doing a thankless "bad water tank job", and under normal circumstances, they were much busier than other departments. I come to work earlier than other departments every day, and I leave work later than other departments; Overtime on weekends and holidays is also common. It seems that today is busier than ever. Because when he was about to get off work yesterday afternoon, section chief Fang Shiyuan explained to the deputy section chief Hou Ye and the staff members: "Everyone will strive to come to work early tomorrow morning, and clean up the office inside and outside in advance; We must be clean and tidy to welcome the arrival of our new comrades-in-arms; Strive to make a good first impression on your new partner. ”

"What, we're going to recruit new people in the Letters and Visits Section again?" Deputy Section Chief Hou Ye immediately asked with wide eyes. "Why didn't I know anything about this deputy section chief beforehand? The leaders and personnel section of his bureau don't look down on me too much, right? ”

"It was also told to me by Zhou Liang, the section chief of the personnel department, a little earlier." Fang Shiyuan squinted and said disdainfully. "Why, can't I have a section chief convey it to you? Do you have to tell you in person by the leaders of the bureau and the head of the personnel section? ”

"Ah, no. I didn't mean that. Hou Ye immediately changed his tone and said. I mean that the leaders of the bureau finally thought that the Letters and Visits Section was important, and they were busy with work, so they were willing to add people to us. Maybe someone else? Don't be a student with no work experience; Or a girl who can only be used as a vase. ”

"Deputy Hou, I don't approve of what you said." Ye Lan, a female clerk who was sorting out the files on her desk, immediately said dissatisfiedly. "What's wrong with the girl? Girls work less than you men? In addition to the 'center' or participating in voluntary labor, the contribution is smaller, and in the past, when we receive visitors or organize files, don't we always have female staff members? ”

"yes, yes. You monkey master is a manly idea. Sister Chen, who was a little older, said more harshly. To put it mildly: there is nothing in this world that a woman cannot do; But there are things that you men can't do. ”

"Yes, Hou Ke, wasn't your big brother also a student when he first entered the agency?" Hua Lianping, a college student who had just been admitted to the bureau for the civil service examination that year, immediately echoed and said. "Including many of today's big leaders, who hasn't beaten a student baby in the first place?"

"Ho, ho, ho! I just said that casually, and you all fired arrows at me together. Hmph, it's really flat and good, and the horse is good to be ridden. ”

"Forget it, forget it. I have to be so busy all day long that I don't even have time to fart; As soon as I have free time, I will file a lawsuit. Fang Shiyuan immediately waved his hand to stop him. Let me tell you the truth, the newcomers who are transferred in this time are not simple, and they are not girls who can only be used as vase decorations; It's not a student baby who has just left school; It is a cadre of an organ who has been transferred from an administrative department in a provincial capital; It is said that he is a graduate of a major university. Deputy Hou, don't take it seriously; You are responsible, come to work as early as possible tomorrow, and be sure to instruct everyone to tidy up the office, and strive to make a good impression on new colleagues. ”

"What, let me be in charge of commanding everyone?" Hou Ye was stunned and asked dissatisfied. "So-what are you doing?"

"I have an urgent business trip to the city." Fang Shiyuan said with a flicker. "I'll be in for a treat when I come back from the city tomorrow. It not only gives new colleagues a pick-up and comforts everyone. ”

Hmph, what is "an urgent business trip to the city"? Fool it! must still burn incense and pay tribute to a certain minister of the city government of his brother-in-law. His sister was a middle school teacher, divorced within the year, and was introduced by others to be the wife of a minister in her sixties; So far, it seems that the old man's quilt has not yet warmed up, and his brother-in-law wants to rush forward to incense and pay tribute to the relationship, and help him climb the mile. Hey, some people in today's society are really unscrupulous in order to climb up.

So, my colleagues were really obedient and came to work half an hour early the next morning. When everyone worked together to tidy up the office, under the command of Deputy Section Hou, Xiao Ye and Xiaohua carried a banner that "warmly welcomes new colleagues to join the Letters and Visits Section of our bureau", and went to the gate of the office together, ready to welcome new colleagues.

"Hey, I heard Fang Ke say, this new colleague is still a graduate of a key university?" Sister Chen asked contemplatively and curiously. "Ye Lan, you say, I don't know how old this new colleague is, is he married or unmarried?"

Everyone knows that this 30-year-old Sister Chen Suyun, divorced with her ex-husband a year ago due to mutual disagreement, in order to find a new partner all day long like ants on a hot pot, when a new colleague is transferred to the unit, as long as it is a man, she always has to actively pay attention to people's married and unmarried, and always wants to post to Lu when she has the opportunity. Hearing her ask like this now, it immediately caused ridicule and ridicule from everyone.

"Sister Chen, what do you mean by that?" Ye Lan deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb and asked rhetorically. "Do you want to-"

"Hey, it's not clear? If you know that the other party is not married and is of the right age, you don't want to make a match. Did I guess right, Director Chen? Hou Ye said mercilessly; But he was dissatisfied: "Hey, you comrade sister, what are you doing with me?" Just like those fake foreign devils who worship foreign countries, it seems that the moon outside is also rounder than their hometown. You put the widowed man who is my deputy section chief, and actively pursue you and don't accept it, but all day long, this mountain looks at that mountain high. ”

"your monkey! How do you know that I inquired about the other party's marriage or unmarried for myself? I can't worry about my aunt's cousin who is still waiting for the boudoir? Sister Chen was guessed about the matter for a while, and she blushed embarrassedly to divert everyone's attention and said; But he squinted at the other party and sneered: "You don't have any real power, what's so rare about being called a deputy section chief?" The thick black and low skinny monkey, the clam ant still wants to eat swan meat! ”

"Hmph, I'm a thick black and low thin monkey? Are you swan meat? Hou Ye also sneered at each other. I don't look in the mirror to see how deep the crow's feet are at the corners of my eyes. ”

"Hey, Sister Chen, I'm not short or bad, and I'm a dignified civil servant. I am currently unmarried. Hua Lianping immediately asked. Can you introduce your aunt and cousin? If this family matter is negotiated, won't we become relatives? I guarantee to vote for you next time. ”

"Ah, is it just you Xiaohua? The appearance is still acceptable, and the positions of civil servants in administrative organs are indeed good. Sister Chen said to herself while looking at each other seriously. Alas, but there are also some regrets. It's just that the college degree is still a bit low. My cousin graduated from the eighth-year school and is still actively preparing to apply for graduate school. The aunt and uncle-in-law have already released their words: The match chosen for her daughter must not be worse than herself. ”

"But I--But although I'm only a college student now, haven't I been taking the self-examination of the big book? All of them have officially passed the three gates. Xiao Hua hurriedly explained. As long as I work harder, I will be able to get a big graduation certificate by the next year at the latest. ”

"I'm sorry Xiaohua." Sister Chen said helplessly. "That's just until you get your diploma. But maybe my cousin will be in graduate school again. It's all a rising tide! ”

"Don't gossip, I see that the noodle is the new colleague we are going to welcome." Deputy Hou immediately reminded everyone. "Xiao Ye Xiaohua, hurry up and raise the welcome banner."

So, everyone immediately took action - when the new colleagues appeared in front of everyone, they were indeed surprised and surprised: they did not expect that a key university graduate and a cadre who had worked in the administrative unit of the provincial capital was so young, but he also seemed to be sophisticated, mature and steady.

"The section chief went to the city on a business trip and was not at home. I'm Hou Ye. He shares the surname of the late famous cross talk master Hou Baolin with the word 'Hou', which means the word 'Ye' of the bright Huohua. Today, I am temporarily in charge of the work of the Letters and Visits Section, and I am responsible for calling everyone to tidy up housekeeping and clean up. In the office of the Letters and Visits Section on the first floor, Hou Ye held the hand of his new colleague and first introduced himself; After that, he introduced his colleagues one by one and said, "This is Comrade Chen Suyun. Although everyone is recognized as the eldest sister, she is actually not very old, and she is only 30 years old; It is mainly experienced and heavy, hence the name. This is Ye Lan; This is Hua Lianping. Both of them are college students who have passed the civil service recruitment examination in the past two years. What we all have in common is that we are both single. I was widowed, she was divorced; Neither young man spoke to each other. Hey, hey, interesting, right? Before our Letters and Visits Section, except for the section chief, everyone had no family planning tasks. ”

"Interesting, interesting. From today onwards, I will also volunteer to join the 'Single Combat Team' of the Letters and Visits Section. My name is Zhong Jingliang. Department of Chinese of Provincial Comprehensive University, graduated in 2012. I introduced myself while shaking hands with my undergraduate colleagues. After graduation, I worked in the provincial archives; Because my hometown is in the countryside of Tongyuan Town, in order to take care of my family, I took the initiative to ask to return to my county to work. The Education Bureau is an important functional department of the county government; The Letters and Visits Section is responsible for the county's education system, thousands of teachers and staff, and tens of thousands of primary and secondary school students. The task is daunting and glorious. Jing Liang is young and inexperienced, and his ability is limited, and he lacks the practice of petition work; However, I hope that in the future, under the correct leadership of the two section chiefs and the help and guidance of my colleagues, I will be able to improve my professional level as soon as possible, fight side by side with my colleagues in the department, and successfully complete the petition tasks assigned by my superiors. Jingliang is willing to encourage all colleagues. ”

"Ah, Comrade Xiao Zhong, you are too polite and too serious. What is 'right leadership' and 'help and guidance'? Don't think that the Education Bureau and our Letters and Visits Section are so sacred. In fact, it is debunked and said: what 'state organs', 'government functions'? It's all nonsense, it's nothing more than doing errands and begging for money. Don't look at some people's positions are not low-key, but you owe him a month's salary? Guaranteed to complain more than anyone else. "Sister Chen has always been quick to speak, and she has been dissatisfied with not being promoted, and she has been in a bad mood recently, so she took the opportunity to welcome new colleagues today and complained." What else is 'the Letters and Visits Department is the home of the majority of faculty and staff'? Bullshit! In the Peking Opera "Shajiabang", what Ah Qing's sister-in-law sang, 'All who come are guests, all by mouth, meet and laugh, and don't think about it later; As soon as people leave, the tea will be cold, no matter what Zhou Xiang is not Zhou Xiang'! This is the truest portrayal of our educational petitions. Hee, hee-"

"Miss Chen, I said that the temporary person in charge would make full use of the authority that day, and without waiting for him, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Comrade Xiao Zhong at the Education Hotel tonight." Deputy Hou hurriedly intercepted the other party's words and said. "The food is full, there is no limit to tobacco and alcohol, so let's have a full meal and get drunk."

"But now it's six or seven hours before the evening, and you're drunk before you get drunk? It's all nonsense. Those who know the truth say that you have no intention of talking and playing, but if you don't know, they will say that you are dissatisfied because you have a complaint in your heart. Sister Chen also grabbed the conversation again with dissatisfaction. Without further ado, Xiao Zheng has just arrived today, so he will take advantage of his free time to cheer with everyone. ”
