[334] How big an official
Meng Sisi's father Meng Guimin has a history of 81 years, under the hard work of six generations of Meng's people, Meng's silk village has been relocated several times, and finally took root on this Xiafei Road, which has been renamed Huaihai Middle Road.
Meng Guimin and his wife Kong Naiping have two sons and a daughter, the second son Meng Sicheng has just entered high school, the third son Meng Sixue has just entered primary school, and the eldest daughter is the most decent. Although Meng Sisi has never made a movie so far, Meng Guimin always says to people, 'My daughter is a movie actress'.
Meng Guimin is proud of his daughter, no matter who has such a beautiful and excellent daughter, he will be very proud.
What's more, Meng Sisi's academic performance has always been very good. When she was in college, it was the most embarrassing time for Meng Guiming's business, prices skyrocketed, the fiat currency issued by the Kuomintang government depreciated wildly, Meng's silk and satin village was in difficulty, and Meng Guimin couldn't even pay his daughter's tuition. If Meng Sisi hadn't won the scholarship with excellent grades, Meng Guimin would have to watch his daughter drop out of school.
Meng Guimin was very melancholy today, holding the telegram from his daughter in his hand, standing in front of the window in the attic of the store, smoking cigarette by cigarette.
"Why do you say that you are going to get married, this child is really ignorant. Since you are going to get married, why don't you bring the man to the house for a meal first, and let me check it. Meng Guimin thought dejectedly.
Kong Naiping was wearing a pale blue satin cheongsam, a pair of flat leather shoes under her feet, holding a feather duster in her left hand and a rag in her right hand.
"Old man, you're going to die! What if you smoke so many cigarettes and the smell of smoke gets on the fabric! Why are you still holding the telegram? Don't go downstairs soon, Mrs. Ma is going to come over today to choose the cheongsam material, she only recognizes your vision, you don't want to make a smell of smoke and make people suspicious. ”
Listening to his wife's chatter, Meng Guimin was full of unhappiness and said hesitantly: "What Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Niu, my daughter is going to be abducted by another man, I haven't even seen what that man looks like." This...... This...... This marriage cannot be consummated. ”
Kong Naiping, with the coolness and shrewdness of a Puhai woman, pointed at Meng Guimin with a feather duster, raised her voice and said: "Our daughter has gone to college, and she has more vision than you!" I believe my daughter won't be wrong, what is that Cao Xiaoqiang, didn't my daughter's telegram say that he works in a government agency? How good is the work of government agencies, unlike us who do business, we have to look at people's eyes, but also care about the quality of goods, and we have an endless heart every day. ”
Meng Guimin snorted, shook his head and said, "This stupid girl, I'm afraid that she will be deceived by others!" There are so many liars these days, all of them are oily, and they open their mouths and close their mouths, "I have someone above me", "I am a national cadre", "I have a money bank at home", so there are not too many people who are so tricky now, have you forgotten the two green worm lake silk that we were deceived last year? My daughter is smart and smart, but she has no experience, how can she compare with an old man like his father and me, the little girl is shallow, even her father and I have been deceived, how do I know that she will not be deceived! ”
When Kong Naiping heard Meng Guimin say this, she also panicked and hesitated: "What should I do?" We are not in the Northern Capital, and it is difficult to help her check the gates, so she has to choose it herself. ”
When Meng Guimin heard this, his wife also hesitated, and said more and more confidently: "Don't you?" Am I right? Marriage is a big event, and my parents have never seen it, so it can't be counted! …… No way! I want to go to Beidu in advance, I must see him first, as long as the man is not a liar, no matter how poor the family is, I will agree. If it's a liar...... I...... Then I'm going to the government to sue him for cheating on marriage! ”
Kong Naiping was also timid when her husband said it, her face showed worry, and she said hesitantly: "...... That's fine, it's always right to see each other. Old man, you go to buy a train ticket in the afternoon, hurry over and take a look, if the son-in-law is honest, then go over in advance to help the two of them Zhang Luo, this is also haode. You bring more money to go over first, they are young, where is the money, getting married always has to be done, shabby, my daughter will be wronged. ”
Meng Guimin said a little proudly: "This is natural, I have also saved some money in the past six months, especially listening to my daughter's words, the first batch of people to join Puhai Commercial Group, did a public-private partnership restructuring, and really made a lot of money from the new cloth granted by the government." I just want to leave it to my family Sisi as a dowry. Don't look at her telegram saying don't bring property, there is everything, in fact, I know that my daughter is afraid of our embarrassment, she has been sensible since she was a child. ”
Kong Naiping nodded, agreed with her husband's idea, and said, "That's right, you put 500 yuan out of the account first, and I still have 300 yuan in my private room, and you bring it to Sisi." Also, in my mother's jewelry, there is a pair of pearl earrings that I specially kept for Sisi, and you can bring them with you. ”
Meng Guimin glared and said, "What about your jade bracelet?" And what about the gold necklace? ”
Kong Naiping crossed her hands on her waist and said, "I always have to leave two things for our future daughter-in-law!" You're an old thing, and you're really eccentric. ”
Meng Guimin muttered softly: "I married and inherited the shop, what else do I want?" I have a daughter as soon as I stay on the melon seed......"
While the husband and wife were discussing, the guy downstairs shouted, "Boss, there are guests." ”
Meng Guimin estimated that Mrs. Ma had arrived, and hurriedly rushed downstairs while tidying up the folds on his clothes because he had been sitting by the window for too long.
When they met, it was found that this was two government cadres wearing yellow uniforms. The tall and thin middle-aged man looked like he was in charge, and a well-mannered scholar behind him looked like his subordinate.
As soon as the thin tall middle-aged man saw Meng Guimin, he said enthusiastically: "You are Meng Sisi's father, right?" Hello, my name is Jiang Gongwu, I am from the East China Military and Political Commission government, and this is Secretary Chen. ”
The scholar in military uniform also smiled: "Hello Mr. Meng." ”
When Meng Guimin saw a jeep parked outside the door, and when he heard that the person was a government official, he immediately panicked, and ordinary businessmen were most afraid of dealing with the government.
"Hello Chief Jiang! Hello Sir Jiang! Hello Secretary Chen! Tea in the house, tea in the house. Meng Guimin hurriedly greeted.
Jiang Gongwu hurriedly said: "Mr. Meng should be older than me, just call me Xiao Jiang." I have come here to inform you that the Puhai Municipal Government will fly to the northern capital tomorrow, and if you are willing, you will take this flight. The plane was very fast, flying in five or six hours. If you're not used to flying, I'll book a train ticket for you, any day, and tell me when you choose a date, and I'll send it to you. However, the train used to take two days and three nights, and it was certainly not as fast as the plane. ”
Meng Guimin stood there, his eyes kept blinking, he couldn't figure out that the Weishenme government was going to send him to the northern capital.
"Chief Jiang, this ...... This one? ”
Seeing Meng Guimin, he looked unclear.
Jiang Gongwu hurriedly explained: "Mr. Meng, don't be polite, just call me Xiao Jiang." That's the case, Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang informed the city of his situation, and Commander Chen instructed that you must send your second elder to the northern capital to attend the wedding properly and safely, we consider that your second elder has never been to the northern capital before, and probably will want to leave early to help the two of them take care of it, so we will not delay, and immediately come to inform your second elder. If you want to take a plane and can't go tomorrow, don't worry, Puhai has a flight to Beidu every three days, and you can take the 10th or 13th plane. ”
Kong Naiping, who had already rushed downstairs and stood aside and listened to the half-ring, asked tentatively and respectfully: "Comrade Jiang, how much is the plane ticket?" ”
Jiang Gongwu said with a smile: "That's a regular round-trip flight from the military region, and I'll bring it to you by the way, no money." This time it was specially approved by the chief, and others can't sit if they want to, hehe. ”
Meng Guimin is still like falling into the clouds, he can't say a word, he doesn't understand, Weishenme, the kind of big head who can use the plane to move, will deliberately use the plane to pick up their husband and wife to go to the northern capital to attend their daughter's wedding, is there something wrong here? Something must be wrong, right?
When encountering this kind of thing, women are the most realistic.
Kong Naiping's mouth couldn't close when she smiled, and hurriedly said: "That's great, the train is three days and three nights, it's really a dead person, this plane is good, it flew in a few hours, isn't it going in the morning and going back in the evening?" No wonder Chairman Chiang used to like to fly. ”
Meng Guimin immediately stomped his feet and scolded: "What nonsense is a stupid woman's family talking about! What sauce commissioner, oil commissioner, that's a former Kuomintang war criminal! It's a sinner! You listen to the radio every day, and you don't have this awareness! ”
After that, Meng Guimin hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Comrade Jiang, it's me who has no way to educate, my woman's family has never studied, and her consciousness is not enough, I will definitely urge her more in the future." ”
Kong Naiping also realized that her mouth was fast, and she hurriedly daoqian.
Jiang Gongwu hahadaxiao, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the people are used to it, and there are a lot of things that can't be changed for a while, now it's not the Republic of China, don't be so restrained, haha, why don't we call him Lao Jiang." But even if everyone calls him chairman, our supply-side government will not have this belly, because the people are to blame for this. Mr. Meng doesn't have to mind. ”
Kong Naiping hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the old man is timid, hehe, Comrade Jiang, Secretary Chen, you come in and have a cup of tea."
"We still have something to do, so we won't sit, I'll send someone over in the evening, if you book a time, I'll know, and I'll send a car to pick you up when the time comes."
With that, Jiang Gongwu and Secretary Chen said goodbye with a smile, left Meng's Silk Village and got into a jeep and left.
Meng Guimin, who had been sending the two to the door and watching the car drive away, looked at the jeep that had driven away in a little stunned, and said to his wife beside him in a trance: "Wife, Nong, Yi Cao Xiaoqiang, what kind of official is it?" ”
