The following is my dad's diary about Xiaoshui - Xiaomu:

"That day, Lao Ma brought a little girl, saying that she was a fresh graduate of the provincial exposure secondary professional school, who studied landscape architecture, and wanted to serve the iron rice bowl of your garden.

"Lao Ma can really joke, there are a lot of people who want to serve our iron rice bowls, including the children of the city's brains who want to squeeze into our unit, but how can we make it up?

"I explained the situation to the old horse, and joked with him, 'If you can ask for a subordinate, I'll take it.'" ’

"The old horse said, 'That's what you said, don't deny it when the time comes.' ’

"I said, 'Then what are you not admitting? The Personnel Bureau will come up and make it up, and you will come in on the back foot!'

Then I went to see the little girl, seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a white dress, which made her look very white, and a necklace of pearls around her plump neck.

"The pearl necklace sold on the market is fake, and the one she wears, I think it is real, the pearl is round and full, with a precious luster.

"The little girl has a high breasts, a firm and slender lower abdomen and waist, and a crooked hip.

"I thought to myself, this figure is blind in our garden, go to the 'super girl', go to be a model.

"The little girl's appearance cannot be applied with the beauty of the Chinese, she should look very strange: the distance between the eyes and the eyebrows is a little large, giving people the impression of being surprised all the time, the bridge of the nose is very straight, but the tip of the nose is somewhat round, and slightly upturned. Her chin was round, always leaning forward and upturned, and when I remembered it, she looked a bit like a Russian ceremonial soldier.

She was a little nervous when she entered the room, and sat there as if she were looking at something.

"Laughing, it's a little stiff, but I think she must look good when she laughs, so when I saw her and Lao Ma out, I pointed to the technical department and said, 'If your Uncle Ma can ask the editor, you will work in this house.'" ’

And she smiled, so sweet, so charming, that I had her smile in front of me from time to time throughout the afternoon.

"Two days later, this compilation was written, but after I learned about this letter, two people called me, and they both said that this compilation was invited by themselves, including Lao Ma and Section Chief Sun of the Organization Department.

"I went to the editorial board and asked, who is this editor for, and why don't you wear a 'cage'?

"Lao Yan, the member of the editorial board, said, 'You, don't blame the nickname for hard work, it's so real, if you want to put down a cage and say that this editor is for whom, what is the matter? Isn't that a public instrument for private use? No one will say that. ’

"Li'er is such a li'er, but these three monkeys grab a peach, who is this peach for?

Lao Ma said that he found Mayor Wu, and Mayor Wu called Director Yang of the editorial board in front of him, and Section Chief Sun of the Organization Department said that he directly found Secretary Zuo, and Secretary Zuo promised him personally.

"What Section Chief Sun said is unreliable, the secretary of a city, can you specially arrange a compilation for your family?

"Another one, a small section chief, wants to get close to the big secretary, several generations away!

"Secretary Zuo will take care of him, but it's hard to say, whether Section Chief Sun has a backer in the province or not, it's hard to say, the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee is surnamed Sun, and a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is also surnamed Sun, whether they are the third uncle, the second uncle, the aunt or something, it's hard to say.

"Our city is like this, some time ago the traffic police stopped a drunk driver, that kid said that he is the younger brother of Deputy Director Liu of the Provincial Public Security Department, don't move him as soon as possible, he will be unlucky.

"If the traffic police thought it was a drunk, they didn't care about it and punished the kid according to the rules. However, who would have thought that the drunk man was drunk, but he was not drunk, he was really Deputy Director Liu's cousin, and the traffic police were really 'off the egg'.

"It's all pulling ears and cheeks now, so Section Chief Sun's words are not groundless.

"Besides, although Secretary Zuo is the big secretary, he also works in the municipal party committee building, so Section Chief Sun is easy to meet, and he may run into each other when he pees, and he chatters about homely things, so he will tell the editor. Let's think it's a big difficulty, but it's a small thing the size of a sesame mung bean in the secretary's place. Secretary Zuo made a wish, maybe he agreed with a big mouth.

"It's going to kill me.

"While saying that I found the deputy mayor in charge, I said that the secretary agreed, who do I believe?

"The editorial board still pushed 625, and refused to even point a word and hint at it, so let's just take the exam!

"Isn't it 'a must take the exam every time you enter'? There is also an old monk who also has a person to enter, so the three of them will take the exam together - you say, why are so many people in our city applying for the garden examination?

"It's okay to apply for the garden, after graduation, you don't choose a tree to hang, go to private enterprises, go to the provincial capital, and even walk in the south, I heard that this is a popular discipline in the south, there are many private garden design institutes, design and planning companies, and the salary is also good.

"At present, we are an iron rice bowl here, and sooner or later we will have to manage the enterprises of public institutions, and get rid of this burden, otherwise, the 'capitation fee' alone will be more than one million a year, and 'weaning' is not a matter of time or time?

"Go through the motions, convene a party committee, and tell them all about this, or think I'm doing something famous in private.

"I decided to take the test, I chose the 27th, it happened to be a Sunday, I made the question, who scored high, who was admitted, and no one complained.

"I really act impartially, and I will never waste my public office for personal reasons, and besides, I have no selfishness.

"On the evening of the 25th, Section Chief Du of the Construction Committee said that two of his classmates had come and asked me to have a treat. I don't have anything to say, hurry up.

"The construction committee is our higher-level competent department, don't look at their big doors, but their small section chiefs can't take any advantage, and even come to invite a guest, and we have to help Zhang Luo with our subordinate units.

"But, having said that, Lao Du is interesting enough to our unit and to me personally, so I just spend one or two thousand yuan to invite a guest, what can I do? Besides, there are not a few times like this throughout the year.

"I asked him where he arranged it? Lao Du said that it would be at the 'dinner'.

"I said, 'Is it okay to have dinner?'

"Actually, I think the dinner is too expensive, and if you want a table for five or six people, you will have to pay 3,000 yuan.

"Lao Du said, we all sit down, come here.

"Hey, I've sat down, so what are you talking about?

"I'll hurry up and take the money over, and quickly let our unit's car take me to the 'dinner'.

"According to the room number that Lao Du said, I found them. At first glance, Lao Du and two other people.

"These two people are locals when they hear the accent, and they seem to have seen them somewhere, but they can't remember, what's even more strange is that before they can drink, Lao Ma and Xiaomu walked in and said that they heard me talking, and came to toast, they were in the next room, what a coincidence, right?"
