Seeing that her parents' faces had changed one after another, Chen Jun didn't care, but just snickered on the side like a little funny, and then her mother said: "Xiao Liu, you are only 23 years old this year, have you ever considered when you plan to get married?" ”

Liu Siyuan said unusually honestly: "Auntie, I think I'm still relatively young now, and I should still focus on my career, and it should be unlikely that I will get married within two or three years." ”

At this time, her mother's face sank, and she said: "But our Xiaojun is already twenty-six years old, and her relatives and sisters are already married, won't she become an old girl in two or three years?" ”

Her father also interjected: "Our Xiaojun is still a department-level cadre, and this failure to have a family will also affect her promotion." There was clearly some hint in the words.

At this time, Chen Jun saw that someone was being 'besieged', so he had to stand up and say: "Dad, Mom, what are you anxious about, I am not in a hurry, by the way, Siyuan rushed over from afar, I must be hungry if I didn't eat well for lunch, let's eat first." ”

Her mother sighed, nodded, and said I'll cook, and you guys talk slowly.

While her father also walked away to go to the bathroom, Liu Siyuan secretly said to Chen Jun: "It seems that your parents are not very satisfied with me." ”

Chen Jun smiled and said, "Isn't that right? If they are too satisfied and force you to marry me quickly, aren't you miserable? ”

Liu Siyuan also had a certain amount of truth when he thought about it, and listened to Chen Jun ask: "You say, if I really marry someone else, will you be very jealous?" ”

Liu Siyuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her question, but fortunately, at this time, her father came out of the bathroom and inadvertently relieved him.

Chen Jun's father sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and asked Liu Siyuan if he smoked, and the latter quickly shook his head and said that he would not smoke. Her father sighed and said softly: "In this officialdom, it's not a good thing not to smoke...... As the saying goes, there is no separation between tobacco and alcohol. ”

Liu Siyuan didn't argue about this kind of issue, and said very modestly: "Uncle, no matter what, smoking is not good for your health......

Her father smiled and said that he couldn't quit, and then after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Xiao Liu, what are your plans for the future?" You don't plan to work in town all the time, do you? ”

Liu Si said frankly: "Uncle is right, I am indeed thinking about whether to return to Hanjiang City to work or continue to stay in Ziwei City in the future, but this is a matter for the future, my current work in Beixi Town has just started, and I hope to continue to hone it." We young people should take one step at a time to do our work, and we should step on it steadily every step. ”

Her father was stunned, and then said, "Xiao Liu, I'm also talking casually, you listen to it first." I think although what you said is good, but we should still take a long-term view, after all, Beixi Town is just a township, under the existing system, it is not easy to promote township cadres, and I know the work in the township, and there is a big difference from the county or city, if you can't return to the city or county for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a disjointed phenomenon, you should be cautious. ”

Liu Siyuan hurriedly said modestly: "What my uncle said is reasonable, the township work is indeed complicated, and the comrades in the township are all carrying multiple responsibilities by themselves, not only to write splendid articles, but also to learn to mingle with the masses, otherwise the work will not be carried out at all." Last time I went to the village to inspect the work, two villagers fought over a cow, but the director of our party and government office persuaded him in a few words, and the comrades in the city and county would definitely not be able to do this thing. ”

Her father listened well at first, but when he heard the word "inspection" at first glance, he thought of something and asked: "What is Xiao Liu's specific position in Beixi Town?" It can't be the deputy mayor, right? He was a little hesitant in the second half of the sentence, probably because Liu Siyuan was too young.

Liu Siyuan waved his hand and said: "Uncle misunderstood, I am not the deputy mayor, and my post is in the town party committee." ”

Her father did not give up and asked, "What position is in the party?" ”

Liu Siyuan hesitated for a moment, looked back at Chen Jun, and saw that the latter nodded before he said, "Take the position of secretary." ”

Her father's hand shook suddenly, and he said, "Secretary of the town party committee? ”

"Hmm."

"Then you are already at the same level as Xiaojun?" Her father asked, a little excited.

Liu Siyuan smiled slightly embarrassed and said: "Uncle, just a few years ago, I was just promoted to the deputy department level because I held a position as a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee. ”

Her father didn't say anything for a while, and finally came back to his senses before he couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Liu is twenty-three years old and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, it's not easy, it's not easy!" ”

After her mother came out of dinner, she learned that Liu Siyuan was already a deputy department-level cadre, and he was also a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and she was also shocked, and immediately said Chen Jun, saying that she didn't introduce it clearly in advance, and Chen Jun rarely showed a naughty look, stuck out his tongue and said: "You didn't ask ...... again"

When it was time for dinner, her parents were obviously a lot more enthusiastic, and they kept serving him food, and they were full of anticipation for him in their words.

It's just that her mother kept mentioning that our Xiaojun is not young, and said that Xiao Liu should also start a family first and then start a business, two or three years is too long, I think the two of you can get things done after getting along for a year and a half at most, and the meaning revealed between the words is that you agree to the relationship between the two.

After dinner, he politely refused her parents' invitation to let him live at home, and insisted on returning to the hotel to live, at first her parents wanted to insist, and then Chen Jun came forward and said that Siyuan is now a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and he was afraid that others would gossip a lot, so he persuaded the second elder.

Chen Jun sent him out of the door not far away, and as soon as he walked out of the community, he smiled and said: "I'd better go home early to be a good girl, you can recognize the way back to the hotel, right?" ”

Liu Siyuan nodded and said that there was no problem, Chen Jun pursed his lips and thought for a while: "But seriously, I really should get married, the question I asked you just now, you had better think about it seriously." There's really not much time left for the two of us. ”

Seeing that he was lost in thought, she didn't say much, kissed him on the cheek, and went straight home.

That night, Liu Siyuan also felt a little tired, thinking of Chen Jun's question was also in a dilemma, on the one hand, imagine that she was really married, she would definitely be jealous, but on the other hand, she didn't want to delay other girls like this, and she was still in the officialdom, which would not only delay her lifelong events, but also affect her development future.

In the middle of the struggle, I received a call from home again, and my mother said on the phone that many people I didn't know came to visit the New Year, but I didn't expect him to go out so early, leaving a lot of various gifts.

Liu Siyuan probably asked the name, only to know that it was basically some cadres in Beixi Town and individual county bureau cadres, so he said to his mother that they could go wherever they went, simple souvenirs could be collected, but don't leave expensive gifts, my mother said on the phone I understand this truth, you can rest assured.

Chen Jun came to him again the next morning, but he never mentioned the topic of last night, but just said that he would take him around Beiyang City. Liu Siyuan said helplessly, I haven't slept well in the past few days, let's go out later, let me rest in my room.

Chen Jun said: "Okay, then you have a good rest, I came early today, but don't blame me, I can't help it, I didn't wake up early in the morning, and my parents pulled me and asked me when I planned to marry you." I was so annoyed that I couldn't do it, so I took refuge in you. ”

Liu Siyuan smiled bitterly and took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Then what are you going to do?" If you can hide for a while, you won't be able to hide for a lifetime. ”

Chen Jun thought about it for a long time, and his face was also full of sadness, and he said after a long time: "Why don't we get married and fool around?" After saying that, he shook his head and said that it was really not feasible.

The two were silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at each other very tacitly, and for a moment, Liu Siyuan suddenly felt that there was an invisible gap between the two, which was insurmountable
