"Husband, today is your birthday, see what gift I bought you?" As soon as Niu Zhenjie got home, he saw his wife Feng Lixi coming over with a smile, holding a big gift bag in her hand.

"What gift?" Niu Zhenjie asked with a curious smile.

"Open it for yourself?" Feng Li said with a mysterious smile.

"It's all old husbands and wives, what are you selling!" Niu Zhenjie said with a smile, took the gift bag, opened the outside package, and his face was suddenly stunned, and then revealed a strong surprise!

"This is ......" opened the outer package and saw the exquisite mahogany box inside, Niu Zhenjie was stunned. He found that it was impressively printed with three strong and powerful golden characters of "Huayin Hall".

With some trembling shakiness, he opened the lid, and a pair of sets of flutes lay quietly inside.

Niu Zhenjie has worked in the Cultural Bureau for half his life, and he has no hobbies in literature and art, he just likes to play the flute. However, the best flute he had ever bought before was only the flute of the flute master Dong Xuehua, and there was only one flute, which was in E tune, which cost him nearly a thousand yuan. Because of buying that flute, his wife Feng Li complained to him for a long time, saying that it would cost so much money to dig out a few holes in a piece of bamboo, which was too wasteful.

But this time, his wife actually bought him this set of Huayin flutes that he dreamed of, and it was a high-end series that was more upscale than the boutique series! This set of two flutes has a national retail price of 10,000 yuan! No matter how extravagant it was, he never thought of buying this flute. Although he has talked to his wife more than once, it is just talking!

But Niu Zhenjie didn't expect that his wife Feng Li was willing to spend so much money today to buy him this set of flutes. Rejoicing. After calming down, he suddenly became puzzled again.

"Wife, you don't have a fever, this set of flutes is more than 10,000, you don't have a good life?" Niu Zhenjie said, touching his wife Feng Li's forehead, as if verifying his words.

"Oops. You're just having a fever! Haven't you liked this flute for a long time? It's just about to be your birthday, so I bought it for you, why are you unhappy. Feng Li said to her husband with a smile.

"Joy is joy, but this ...... This is not like you, this can't be eaten or drunk, according to what you said, buying it is useless, how can you give up ......" Niu Zhenjie said a little confused.

"Hee-hee, husband, you don't know yet. Today we have a meeting, and guess what? Feng Li said with a mysterious smile.

"What's the news? Is it a wage increase? Niu Zhenjie said half-jokingly.

He also knows that there is a lot of gossip in the bar in Zhongxian now, and Zhongxian's salary is going to rise sharply, but he, like his colleagues, thinks that this is another boring person who is playing a prank on the Internet.

"I really let you say it right, it's a salary increase, this time it's accurate news! I went to the Education Bureau for a meeting today, and Chief Jia said it. Three days to arrive! Guess how much it will go up this time? Feng Li asked with a grin. His face was full of excitement.

"Seeing how happy you are like that, I guess it has risen a lot. The country said that at the end of June, everyone could increase by 300 yuan, could it be that this money has risen by a lot? Niu Zhenjie asked.

"Husband, your imagination is too poor, guess harder?" Feng Li shook her head with a smile and said.

"Huh? Could it be that even the car subsidy was issued in advance? I've heard that there are 500 for each person! Niu Zhenjie said with some excitement.

"Husband. You're still too conservative. Forget it, I won't tease you, sue you, this adjustment, the county's administrative and public institution personnel have increased fivefold, and they will be reissued from January! The two of us have officially entered the ranks of the monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan! And one supplement is six months. The two of us can send 100,000 together! Feng Li said excitedly, and made up a cross with both hands, with an excited and proud look!

"It's over, I'm not lightly ill!" Niu Zhenjie heard his wife Feng Li's words, sighed and said, and then he was about to reach out and touch her forehead, but she opened it at once.

"Niu Zhenjie, you're really boring, you still don't believe it if you're honest, why don't we make a bet?" Feng Li saw that her husband didn't believe it, and said angrily.

"Hehe, what's the bet? Isn't it all our money? Forget it, just think about it, I like this birthday gift very much, wife, thank you! Niu Zhenjie said happily.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. But Niu Zhenjie, I sue you, this salary increase is real, you just wait and see. Today we will talk about it, and it will be in three days! If you don't believe it, just wait! Feng Li hummed and said.

"Hehe, okay, if you really send so much money by then, let's go on a trip with our family! How about we go to the capital for a walk around this time? Niu Zhenjie said with a smile.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'm going to visit Wangfujing, and I'm going to visit Xidan, and I'm going to buy a lot of clothes!" Feng Li said excitedly.

"Hahahaha, okay, as long as the money is in hand, you can spend it however you want!" Niu Zhenjie said with a smile. He thought that his wife was joking anyway, so it was better to be happy with her.

My wife is an accountant, and she said that the salary increase must have really increased, but she didn't believe the number she said, and Niu Zhenjie didn't believe it. Five-fold at once? Who has ever seen such a wage increase?

Not only Niu Zhenjie, but many office workers in Zhongxian County dare not think about it. Although the accountants of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Education Bureau and other relevant units have "spread" the news and said it with great certainty, this time it is unbelievable.

Air conditioning again and again has made people lose confidence in wage increases. A small rise of two or three hundred may fail, let alone a five-fold rise? This is also so unreal!

Office workers in other counties, including urban areas, also laughed at the braggadocio of Zhongxian people on the Internet, rising fivefold and earning more than 10,000 yuan a month? How much of a dream does this have to be? Do you really think you're from Yanjing? Civil servants in Yanjing can't earn so much.

In the midst of the ridicule and doubts around them, even the accountants who had held meetings and unified the tables were a little skeptical, they were afraid that the dreamlike meeting was really just a dream, and the dream would be empty again when they woke up.

Of course, there are also many people like Feng Li who firmly believe that it will rise. Even like Feng Li, she has already started to consume in advance!

On Wednesday morning, the municipal party committee held a meeting of the city's cadres, and the top leaders of the counties and districts also attended the meeting. Song Gaoliang, secretary of the municipal party committee, laughed and joked in front of the cadres of the city: "Mingzhe, I heard that your county is going to raise wages, and it will increase fivefold at once, which is amazing. ”

Secretary Song's words immediately caused the other cadres to laugh too.

Like the common people in the market, they don't believe that Zhongxian County's wage increase this time is so big. Again. If there is such a big move, you must report to the city first.

Besides, if it goes up, it goes up five times? This is also too unreliable! If they really dare to rise like this, it would be too nonsense, and they don't care about the feelings of other counties and districts?

However, even Secretary Song didn't expect that Zhongxian would really dare to do this. Because from the beginning to the present, Zhongxian has not reported anything to them. That's why he was sure that Zhongxian County was rumored to raise wages this time. It's completely fake.

After listening to Secretary Song's words, Li Mingzhe said with a smile: "Our previous salaries in Zhongxian have always been ranked behind. If you want to go up high, you should be. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately burst into laughter again. Everyone thought he was joking and ridiculing himself. The county's financial difficulties are obvious to all. Although Huayin Pharmaceutical, which now holds a golden doll and makes the whole world blush, has built a branch factory in their county. But that kind of factory, if you think about it, you know that it is definitely a key enterprise of the state. The background is bullish, although the place falls in their county, but it is estimated that in addition to the reputation, there is no real benefit. This kind of thing also exists in other counties and districts, which is called a big bullying shop. Like those state-owned enterprises and the like, even if they are on your territory, people, money, and things are not under your control, and they are simply independent kingdoms.

Even if Zhongxian County engaged in education construction some time ago, saying that it was the money sponsored by Huayin Pharmaceutical, but even if this is true, it is just a kind heart of people's enterprises, wanting to do good deeds and leave a name, but also in order to let the "landlord" get some benefits. However, investing in education is one thing, raising wages is another, it is a matter of county finance, and it has nothing to do with other people's enterprises!

Everyone thought Lee Ming-che was joking, but he also smiled and didn't explain. Facts speak louder than words, today is the third day of the head, it is estimated that he will receive a text message after the meeting when he returns from the meeting!

Lee Ming-che's organizational relationship is in the city, and it stands to reason that his salary should also be paid in the city. However, he insisted on putting his salary relationship in the county, saying that the county's economic conditions were not good, and he wanted to share weal and woe with the county cadres. He said it very nicely, but in fact, the reason why he would do this was entirely because of Chu Yang's relationship. The latter put the wage relationship in Zhongxian, and of course he had to follow suit. Anyway, it doesn't matter where he puts it, and he doesn't expect his salary to be spent.

But Lee Ming-che didn't expect that he was really on the right step. Now the salary income in Zhongxian County is really a non-negligible income for him. He is a county division-level leader, and his monthly salary income is seventy-seven eighty-eight counted together, and he actually has a small 20,000 yuan, and this time it is more than 100,000 yuan, although this is still not a lot of money for him, but at least it is not less!

Watching the young secretary of the county party committee of Zhongxian walk out of the conference room with a smile, the cadres of other counties and districts all showed disapproving smiles on their faces. But after a while, the smiles on their faces disappeared one by one.

The confirmed news is faster than Lee Ming-che expected!

As soon as he left, the news of the sharp rise in wages in Zhongxian County has been verified by countless people!

According to the plan, it was supposed to take three full days from statistical verification, then to calculation, and finally issued to the individual's card, that is to say, the money could not be released until Wednesday afternoon, but all the accountants in Zhongxian County have been working crazy for the past two days! Including the people of the Finance Bureau and the centralized payment center, they work overtime almost day and night, if nothing else, just for this breath!

Zhongxian County has not raised its wages for so many years, and it has always been suppressed by other counties and districts, let alone the city. Although the gap with the county is not big, that is, a few hundred yuan, they can't swallow this breath!

Especially after the news of the wage increase came out, there were still many people who questioned that they really fought hard this time, and they thought that the sooner they finished the work, the better. Wait for the money to hit the card, so that those people can envy it!

Tie Jiang, the director of the Finance Bureau, was also frightened by the enthusiasm of these accountants, and finally he also came to the long-lost passion, and with a stroke of the pen, he agreed to pay the subsidy salary in advance!

Accounts in centralized payment centers have long been in the pipeline. At the same time, several large state-owned banks such as the Agricultural Bank of China, the Construction Bank of China, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which are responsible for the payment of wages in the county, have also begun to be ready for battle! They also all know that this is a big event in Zhongxian. Although they do not have a direct subordinate relationship with the county government, the number of units in the county determines how much performance they can accomplish, which is not a bit sloppy!

And those employees who work in the bank are also emotional. They used to have an incomparable sense of superiority in this small county. When those ordinary office workers were still working hard to earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, they had already taken a high salary of 6 or 7,000 yuan and lived a rich life. But this time it went up. They are about to be surpassed by these office workers in Zhongxian! In addition to envy, they also secretly admired the two young new leaders in Zhongxian, how could they be so courageous? It's so daring!

At half past eleven o'clock in the morning, when he got off work in half an hour, Tiejiang gave an order, and the staff of the centralized payment center, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately started to operate busily. In less than five minutes, a sum of hundreds of millions. It was hit to the special payroll account of the relevant major banks!

And at this moment, the employees of the major banks. It also shows their professional routine, probably because the attention to this wage increase is too high, so they dare not have the slightest slackness when operating, even the Agricultural Bank of China, which has always been slow to handle business, has also shown rare high efficiency!

At eleven forty-five, fifteen minutes before the end of work. The mobile phone text messages of all office workers in Zhongxian County began to ring one after another!

"Tick! You have a new short message! Niu Zhenjie, who was about to get off work, heard the text message prompt sound in his mobile phone, took out his old Android phone, which was already worn out, and opened the unlock interface to look at the information content.

"Your ICBC account 6222020546256xxxxxx income yuan. The balance is RMB. ”

Looking at this simple instant arrival message, Niu Zhenjie thought he was wrong at first, he wiped his eyes, carefully read the text message again, read it word by word, especially the long list of numbers, he read it several times, and finally confirmed that it was true!

"This ...... This is the reissue ...... Wages? Niu Zhenjie looked at the text messages on his mobile phone in disbelief. Although his wife's words were still in his ears two days ago, he didn't believe it was true until this moment!

At this time, the colleagues around him also received SMS notifications one after another, and suddenly, cheers and exclamations came one after another, and the whole unit instantly became a sea of joy!

Situations like this are being staged in various units, schools, and townships across the county!

Office workers have never felt such happiness for a moment, all along, the embarrassment of rising prices and wages has made them unable to raise their heads in front of relatives and friends, even the most ordinary part-time workers can express contempt and contempt for their income, but from this moment on, a qiē has passed!

For them, this is not just a simple salary increase, it is for them to regain their dignity and be recognized!

After receiving a text message about a wage increase, a text message followed, still from major banks, but this time it was like this:

"Colleagues, I am Chu Yang, the county magistrate of Zhongxian County. For a long time, your work has been controversial, you have done too much, you have earned too little, and you have endured a lot of criticism. Here, on behalf of the central and county governments, please allow me to say to all the comrades working at the grassroots level: hard work! I know that when the money goes up, there will be a lot of people who will make irresponsible remarks, it doesn't matter, I'm here! My words are put here, as long as everyone works hard and is worthy of this position, the central and county governments will definitely be worthy of everyone, this salary increase is just the beginning, and a more exciting life is still to come! June 1st is here, I wish you all a happy Children's Day! ”

A long paragraph, full of several, apparently sent through the bank's SMS system. At this moment, more than 10,000 ordinary office workers in Zhongxian County were silently reading this text message, they read it word by word, reading and reading, and many people's eyes were moist.

If you say, a large amount of income has arrived before. It just made them ecstatic, and at this moment, this passage touched the softest string in their hearts.

Especially the sentence "If the money goes up, some people may say irresponsible things, it doesn't matter, I'm here!" This is a rather domineering sentence. In an instant, many people burst into tears, and many young girls saw this and screamed directly: "Chu County, you are too master!" ”

They cried, laughed, screamed, and shouted, not just for the extra money, but for the great happiness of being understood. It's more important than money!

And the last sentence of this text message also made many people laugh. This Chu County is so funny, I actually wish the people of the county a happy Children's Day, and treat everyone as children?

But speaking of which, having a Children's Day is also a good choice, no matter how old you grow up and how many people don't want to be like children. What about playing carefree? It's just that the weight of life has made them lose this idea.

As if to cooperate with this text message. Before getting off work, all units in the county received a unified notice from the county party committee office: all units in the county will have a half-day holiday in the afternoon!

There is no reason, but this notice is enough to make all office workers cheer loudly again! That's amazing! There is money and holidays, and the happiness index is rising!

Minsheng Street in Zhongxian County is a famous street for catering and entertainment. On this street. There are many large and small restaurants, baths, KTVs, etc., which are very popular. However, due to the impact of the eight bans of the central government, the business of many large hotels is not good, but the business of those snack bars is more popular.

However, the scene at noon today. But it completely made the owners of those hotels dumbfounded. As soon as it was time to get off work, I saw one car after another driving here, and slowly the streets were full on both sides, but they still couldn't stop, and some cars even stopped in the middle of the road. There are a lot of people who just walk here. These people are dressed in ordinary clothes and look like ordinary office workers, but they all have the same expression on their faces at the moment: happy!

"Boss, two catties of lobster!"

"Sir, I'm sorry, no."

"This can be there."

"Not really."

"Forget it, no kidding, let's get everything delicious!"

……

Conversations like this abound in major hotels and restaurants!

Finally, I don't have to think about the shyness in my pocket, I can finally let go and get together with my friends, and I can finally stand up in front of my lover!

This afternoon, many people were drunk, and when they were drunk, they began to sing and dance, venting their emotions to their heart's content......

In the afternoon, all the large and small shopping malls in Zhongxian County were full of people! Countless office workers either lined up in groups of three or five, or dragged their families with their mouths, and began to sweep the goods frantically! This scene can make those operators happy, and many merchants have exceeded the previous month in terms of operating income in this afternoon alone!

And the carnival on the Internet is a different scene.

The website of the central county government, which has always been deserted, suddenly saw a surge in the number of visits! At the bottom of the county magistrate's message board, messages are constantly swiping the screen.

"Chu County is mighty!"

"Chu Da is so powerful, you can buy a beautiful skirt now, thank you!"

"Chu County knows the people's hearts and understands the people's opinions, and is a good leader!"

"Upstairs is so anxious to praise the stinky feet of the leader, do you want to be promoted?"

"Upstairs, the dog is not on a leash and is running to bark, hurry up and someone will take it away!"

"I'm sorry, I mean it's my family, I'm sorry I forgot to take my medicine!"

"Chu County is a good leader who really understands the grassroots, you don't have to listen to those who can't eat grapes and say sour, I support you!"

……

In the post bar in Zhongxian County, it was even more noisy, and countless people poured into the bar, expressing their excitement in various ways! Of course, there are also many people who say strange things and sarcasm, and even scold Chu Yang for raising wages indiscriminately, regardless of the lives of the people. Of course, it can't be the real people who say this.

This day is destined to be a difficult day for Zhongxian to be calm. At the same time, this day is also the beginning of Zhongxian's legendary mode! (To be continued......)
