Although Gao Xinhua and his wife were kind enough to stay, Xu Chunliang did not stay to eat, not wanting to cause trouble to others.

Gao Xinhua chased him all the way to his car, so he had to stuff two bottles of wine and four boxes of mooncakes into his car and ask him to bring them back to Mr. Xu.

Xu Chunliang said: "Uncle Gao, there is really no shortage of this in my family. ”

Gao Xinhua said: "I know that you are not lacking, these are for your grandfather and not for you." ”

Xu Chunliang postponed but had to accept it, Gao Xinhua had something to say in his heart, but he couldn't stop talking.

Xu Chunliang smiled: "Uncle Gao, if you have anything you want to explain, just say it." ”

Gao Xinhua shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to say something, but I suddenly forgot about it, and my memory is not as good as before." ”

Xu Chunliang said: "It's okay, wait until you think about it, our old Xu family has some secret recipes to calm the nerves and strengthen the brain, and I will send it to you another day." ”

Gao Xinhua said: "What kind of medicine to take, who of us who is engaged in this business does not know the truth that medicine is poisonous." He patted Xu Chunliang on the shoulder and told him to hurry back.

Xu Chunliang's next stop went to Wang Tongan, the person in charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau, although he had not yet gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to officially go to work, Wang Tongan had already invited him to a meal, and also helped him solve the problem of the cemetery of the old man of the Lu family.

Xu Chunliang had already called Wang Tongan in advance, and Wang Tongan did not refuse, saying that he would wait for him at home.

In the workplace, the person in charge knows that you come to give gifts and does not refuse, that is equivalent to treating you as his own, at least ready to treat you as his own.

Xu Chunliang came to his house according to the address given to him by Wang Tongan, and what surprised Xu Chunliang was that Wang Tongan lived in an old community, living on the first floor, with three bedrooms and one living room, and the courtyard in front was not small, about more than 200 square meters.

In fact, this is Wang Tongan's parents' house, and the old couple are alive and well.

When Xu Chunliang arrived, the two old men were tossing in the yard.

Wang Tongan welcomed Xu Chunliang in with a smile, and when he saw the gift from Xu Chunliang, he said lightly: "Xiao Xu, it's not good for others to see the impact of doing this." ”

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example." ”

Wang Tongan didn't say anything more, and led him to put things down.

Wang Tongan had already prepared tea and invited Xu Chunliang to sit down and drink tea, and Xu Chunliang went to the courtyard to say hello to the two old men first.

The two old men couldn't figure out who he was, anyway, in their opinion, nine times out of ten they came over at this time to ask for their son, and they didn't show too much enthusiasm for Xu Chunliang.

Wang Tongan beckoned Xu Chunliang to go back and sit down, and handed him a cup of tea.

Xu Chunliang took it with both hands.

Wang Tongan said: "Has the original work been handed over?" I'm waiting for someone to be hired here. ”

Xu Chunliang said: "All the formalities have been completed, as long as the royal bureau needs it, I can take up my post at any time." ”

Wang Tongan nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, don't worry, just go to work after the holiday." ”

Xu Chunliang took a sip of tea, and observed the interior furnishings by the way, the decoration should have been for a long time, and the furniture has long been outdated, because of the floor, the lighting of the house is also very average, the edge of the window leaks in many places, and the wall skin is peeled off in many places.

Xu Chunliang remembered that the last time Wang Tongan invited him to dinner, he was also near this community, but he didn't expect that Wang Tongan's place of residence was so simple, because he didn't see Wang Tongan's wife and children, so he estimated that this should be where Wang Tongan's parents lived.

Xu Chunliang said: "Wang Ju, you have been in this house for many years. ”

Wang Tongan didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "It's my parents' house, I have been persuading them to move over to live with me, but they are reluctant to have a yard at the door, and it is convenient to enter and exit on the first floor, and the surrounding facilities are also very mature, the most important thing is that they are familiar with the surrounding neighbors, and they are not willing to move, the house is indeed old, and I am thinking about helping them paint the wall in two days." ”

Xu Chunliang said: "Wang Ju, I'll do this, I have trusted friends in this regard." ”

Wang Tongan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but we have a word in advance, I will bear the cost of how much it costs, you can't let me make mistakes in this regard." ”

Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will reimburse you for it, and I will definitely do big things with a small amount of money to satisfy the two old people." ”

The reason why Wang Tongan handed over this matter to Xu Chunliang is also to test his idea, don't look at it as a simple renovation and decoration, it is definitely a test of Xu Chunliang's ability, decorating the house well is not called a skill, how to do this thing to be complete and beautiful is the most important, Wang Tongan never thought about giving Xu Chunliang the opportunity to bribe himself, how many years has he been in the system, no one has seen it, so he will not take the initiative to give the handle to others.

Xu Chunliang followed Wang Tongan's words just now and said, "Wang Bureau, are we busy with the recent work in our bureau?" ”

Wang Tongan nodded and said: "Busy, the old funeral home will be completely deactivated at the end of the year, the construction progress of the new funeral home is a little delayed, we must open it a month in advance, and now the decoration and greening project of the farewell hall has not been completed, and one more thing is the holiday poverty alleviation condolences, the reason why I didn't let you come to report before the festival is afraid that the burden on you just came up will be too heavy to scare you." ”

Xu Chunliang smiled: "Thank you Wang Ju for showing mercy to me." "If he comes to the Civil Affairs Bureau before the holiday, as the head of the Social Rescue Section, he will definitely have to go around to offer condolences, and poverty alleviation and relief alone will be enough for him to be busy.

Wang Tongan said: "Others in the Civil Affairs Bureau think that we don't have any heavy work, but those who really do this line of work know how heavy the responsibility is, Xiao Xu, you are not familiar with the work in the health system and the civil affairs system in the past, and if you don't understand anything in the future, come and ask me directly." ”

Xu Chunliang said: "Okay." ”

Wang Tongan chatted with Xu Chunliang for a few words, Xu Chunliang took the initiative to return the topic to housing renovation, Wang Tongan said a request, Xu Chunliang firmly remembered it, and went to ask the old man's opinion.

Wang Tongan took this incident as a test for Xu Chunliang, but he never thought that Xu Chunliang's efficiency would be so high, so he arranged for someone to come over to measure the design of the house on the same day, so that Wang Tongan would take his parents home for the holiday, and arrange the construction the next morning to ensure that the project would be completed during the National Day holiday.

Xu Chunliang handed over this matter to Ding Si, and for Ding Si, the renovation of the old house could not be called a project.

Although it is necessary for Xu Chunliang to have a good relationship with Wang Tongan, there is no need for him to befriend Wang Tongan, after all, it is not for Wang Tongan to influence him when he goes to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Wang Tongan's attitude towards him is not because he likes it, but more out of scruples about his background.

Both sides are testing each other, and through this matter, they decide how they should get along with each other in the future.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of the Xu family is quite lively, Xu Jiawen and his daughter Zhen Chun came, and Zhou Deming also came with him, on the surface, he and Zhen Chun have already determined their relationship, but they don't accompany their parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are reasons why they go to Xu's house for the holiday.

Xu Chunliang knew very well that behind this should be Secretary Zhou's meaning, Secretary Zhou knew that Ye Lao was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at Xu's house this year, so he would promote his son to go to Dongzhou.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not too grand for today's young people, Zhou Deming's personal explanation is that his father just went to work in the Beijing Disaster Reduction Committee, and now he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat a reunion dinner.

Ye Lao had already understood everything, but he liked the lively feeling, and chatting with young people could make him forget some of his troubles for a while.

Xu Changshan called his eldest daughter Xu Jia'an, still hoping that she would come over, and he heard his daughter's heavy nasal voice on the phone, Xu Jia'an excused himself for having a serious cold again, and he would definitely not be able to get over this year.

Xu Jiaxuan knows very well what happened to his sister recently, and advises the old father to stop forcing the eldest sister, after all, the eldest sister is already married, and the Liang family also has parents, and the family has to be reunited.

Xu Changshan felt that what his son said was very reasonable, and dispelled the idea of letting his daughter come back, but there were many people in the family, counting Zheng Pei'an, there were already nine people in the family.

Zheng Pei'an, who has the best cooking skills, is the chef who is the best chef, Ye Qingya and Xu Jiawen are responsible for helping, and Xu Jiaxuan and Zhen Chun accompany the two old men to play mahjong.

Xu Chunliang and Zhou Deming sat in the living room chatting.

Zhou Deming told Xu Chunliang that he went to his aunt's house to see his grandmother a while ago, and the old man was still thinking about Xu Chunliang, and Xu Chunliang knew that Mrs. Zhou did not follow Secretary Zhou's family to the capital.

Zhou Deming sighed when he mentioned his father's work and said: "Now it's much busier than in the province, there have been frequent disasters recently, he goes wherever there is a disaster, my grandmother now watches the news every day, for fear that something will happen, after all, ......" He didn't go on, in fact, since the last time the inspection team of the Disaster Reduction Committee had an air crash in Juzhou, the nature of the work of the Disaster Reduction Committee has become high-risk, especially in the hearts of the families of the staff of the Disaster Reduction Committee.

Although Zhou Deming knew that his father had been reused, as a son of man, he was still worried.

Xu Chunliang saw through his heart and comforted him: "Don't worry, Juzhou is just an accident, generally speaking, there is no risk, by the way, you don't know yet, I also went to work in the civil affairs system now, although the level is not high, but the nature of my work is similar to Secretary Zhou." ”

Zhou Deming said: "Xiaochun and I don't understand, how can your character choose to work in the system?" ”

Xu Chunliang said: "Not everyone has the conditions to do a line of work, I belong to a line of love and love." ”

Zhou Deming said with a smile: "You have something to say, I don't like to do one line at a time, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, I haven't figured out the direction of my life until now." ”

Xu Chun's conscience said that with your family background, you don't have to worry about work at all, generally speaking, most children like Zhou Deming will choose a career and have the political foundation of their parents, they will usually be much smoother than most people on this road, of course, they can also choose to engage in business, but with Xu Chunliang's understanding of Zhou Deming, he also doesn't like to do business.

Xu Chunliang said deliberately: "I really can't figure out the direction to come back to Dongzhou, let's do civil affairs work together." ”

Zhou Deming said: "I'm not interested in the system, my current major is Chinese, and I will come back to be a Chinese teacher in the future." ”
