Chapter 1080: test each other

Chapter 1080 Mutual Test

Although Gao Xinhua and his wife kindly asked him to stay, Xu Chunliang did not stay to eat because he did not want to cause trouble to others.

Gao Xinhua chased him all the way to his car and forced him to stuff two bottles of wine and four boxes of mooncakes into his car and ask him to take them back to Mr. Xu.

Xu Chunliang said: "Uncle Gao, I really don't lack this at home."

Gao Xinhua said: "I know you are not in need. 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 hesitated.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Uncle Gao, if you have anything you want to explain, just tell me."

Gao Xinhua shook his head and said: "I originally had something to say, but suddenly I forgot it. As I get older, my memory is not as good as before."

Xu Chunliang said: "It doesn't matter. Let's wait until you think of it. Our old Xu family has some secret recipes to soothe the nerves and strengthen the brain. I will prepare the medicine and send it to you another day."

Gao Xinhua said: "What kind of medicine should you take? None of us in this industry know the principle of three parts of medicine and poison." He patted Xu Chunliang on the shoulder and asked him to go back quickly.

Xu Chunliang's next stop was Wang Tong'an, the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Although he had not officially gone to work at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wang Tong'an had already treated him to a meal and helped him solve the problem of the Lu family's graveyard. If you don't express your feelings, you will look ignorant.

Xu Chunliang said: "Wang Ju, let me handle this matter. I have trustworthy friends in this regard."

Xu Chunliang came to his house according to the address Wang Tongan gave him. What surprised Xu Chunliang was that Wang Tongan lived in an old community. He lived on the first floor with three bedrooms and one living room. The yard in front was not small, with about two rooms. More than 100 square meters.

Wang Tong'an didn't hide anything and said with a smile: "It's my parents' house. I've been persuading them to move in with me, but they can't bear to leave the yard at the door. Moreover, it's convenient to enter and exit from the first floor, and the surrounding facilities are also very mature. The most important thing is They are familiar with the surrounding neighbors and are reluctant to move. The house is indeed a bit old, so I am thinking of helping them paint the walls in a few days."

Actually, this is the home of Wang Tongan's parents. Both the parents are still alive and in good health.

At work, if the person in charge knows you are coming to give gifts but does not refuse, that means they treat you as one of their own, or at least are prepared to treat you as one of their own.

Wang Tongan nodded with satisfaction: "No rush, no rush, just go to work after the holiday."

Xu Chunliang took a sip of tea and took a look at the interior furnishings. It must have been decorated for a long time, and the furniture had long been out of date. Because of the floor, the lighting in the house was average. There were leaks in many places around the windows and the walls were thick. Peeling everywhere.

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

Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "It won't be an example next time. It won't be an example next time."

Wang Tongan smiled and welcomed Xu Chunliang in. When he saw the gift from Xu Chunliang, he said lightly: "Xiao Xu, it won't be good for others to see you doing this."

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

Wang Tongan said nothing more and led him to put the things down.

Xu Chunliang said: "All the procedures have been completed. I can take up the post at any time as long as the Wang Bureau needs it."

Xu Chunliang took it with both hands.

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

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

Xu Chunliang said: "Wang Ju, your house is old."

Wang Tong'an said: "Has the handover of the original work been completed? I'm waiting for someone to hire here."

The two old men couldn't figure out who he was. Anyway, in their opinion, most of the time he came here to seek help from their own son, and they didn't show much enthusiasm towards Xu Chunliang.

Wang Tongan has prepared tea and invited Xu Chunliang to sit down and drink tea. Xu Chunliang first went to the yard to say hello to the two elderly people.

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

The reason why Wang Tongan handed this matter over to Xu Chunliang was because he wanted to use it to test him. Even if it was just a simple renovation, it was definitely a test of Xu Chunliang's ability. Decorating a house well was not a skill, how could he put this thing to work? The most important thing is that everything is done smoothly and beautifully. Wang Tongan never thought of giving Xu Chunliang a chance to bribe him. He has been in the system for many years and has never seen anyone, so he will not take the initiative to give the information to others. in hand. Xu Chunliang followed Wang Tongan's words and said, "Bureau Wang, is our bureau very busy recently?"

Wang Tongan nodded and said: "We are busy. The old funeral parlor will be completely decommissioned by the end of the year. The construction progress of the new funeral parlor is somewhat delayed. We must open it one month in advance. The decoration and greening project of the farewell hall has not been completed yet, and there is still another The thing is to provide condolences to the poor during the holidays. The reason why I didn't ask you to come and report before the holiday was because I was afraid that the burden I had just put on you would be too heavy and frighten you."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Thank you, Bureau Wang, for showing me concern." If he had come to the Civil Affairs Bureau before the holiday, as the chief of the Social Relief Department, he would have to go around to offer condolences. Poverty alleviation alone would be enough for him.

Wang Tong'an said: "Others in the Civil Affairs Bureau think that we don't have any heavy work, but only those who actually work in this field know how heavy the responsibility is. Xiao Xu, you used to work in the health system, and you are not familiar with the work of the civil affairs system. In the future, If you don’t understand something, just come and ask me.”

Xu Chunliang said: "Okay."

Wang Tongan chatted with Xu Chunliang for a few words, and Xu Chunliang took the initiative to bring the topic back to house renovation. Wang Tongan mentioned his requirements, and Xu Chunliang kept them in mind, and went to ask for the elderly's opinions.

Wang Tongan regarded this incident as a test for Xu Chunliang, but he never expected that Xu Chunliang would be so efficient. On the same day, he arranged for someone to measure the house and design it, and asked Wang Tongan to take his parents home for the festival. The second The construction was arranged in the morning to ensure that the project would be completed during the National Day holiday.

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

Although Xu Chunliang needs to have a good relationship with Wang Tongan, he does not need to curry favor with Wang Tongan. After all, Wang Tongan cannot control him going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Wang Tongan's attitude toward him is not because he likes him, but more out of respect for him. concerns about his background.

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

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the Xu family was quite lively. Xu Jiawen and his daughter Zhen Chun came, and Zhou Deming also came with them. On the surface, he and Zhen Chun had already established a relationship, but if he didn't accompany his parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would be a waste to go to the Xu family to celebrate the festival. There are reasons for this.

Xu Chunliang knew very well that Secretary Zhou’s intention behind this was that Secretary Zhou knew that Mr. Ye was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at Xu’s house this year, so he encouraged his son to go to Dongzhou.

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

 Mr. Ye has already understood everything, but he likes this lively feeling. Chatting with young people can make him temporarily forget some of his worries.

Xu Changshan called his eldest daughter, Xu Jia'an, hoping that she would come over. He could hear his daughter's strong nasal voice on the phone. Xu Jia'an used the excuse that he had a bad cold again and that he would definitely not be able to survive this year.

Xu Jiaxuan knew very well what had happened to his sister recently, and advised his old father not to force his eldest sister anymore. After all, the eldest sister was already married, and the Liang family also had parents, and they had to be reunited.

Xu Changshan felt that what his son said made sense and gave up the idea of letting his daughter back. However, there were also a lot of 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 dedicated chef. Ye Qingya and Xu Jiawen are responsible for helping. Xu Jiaxuan and Zhen Chun play mahjong with the two old men.

Xu Chunliang and Zhou Deming were sitting in the living room chatting.

 Zhou Deming told Xu Chunliang that he went to his aunt's house to see his grandma a while ago, and the old man was still thinking about Xu Chunliang. Only then did Xu Chunliang realize that Mrs. Zhou did not go to the capital with Secretary Zhou and his family.

When Zhou Deming mentioned his father's work, he sighed and said, "It's much busier now than in the province. Disasters have occurred frequently recently. He goes wherever there is a disaster. My grandma watches the news every day now, for fear of something happening. After all, ..." He didn't go on. In fact, since the Disaster Reduction Committee's inspection team had a plane crash in Juzhou last time, the nature of the Disaster Reduction Committee's work has become high-risk, especially in the minds of the families of the Disaster Reduction Committee staff.

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

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

Zhou Deming said: "Xiao Chun and I are a little confused. How could your character choose to work within the system?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Not everyone has the conditions to do a certain job. I belong to a certain profession and love a certain profession."

Zhou Deming smiled and said: "There is something in your words. I don't like to work in one profession. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. I still haven't figured out the direction of my life."

Xu Chunliang said that with your family background, you don’t have to worry about work at all. Generally speaking, children like Zhou Deming will most likely choose an official career. With the political foundation of their parents’ generation, they will usually have a much smoother journey than most people on this path. Of course, You can choose to go into business, but based on Xu Chunliang's understanding of Zhou Deming, he doesn't like doing business either.

Xu Chunliang said deliberately: "I really don't know the direction. 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. At worst, I can come back and become a Chinese teacher."
