Chu Boyang flattered Sui Changsheng, and at the same time, he changed the topic and mentioned Zhou Bin's matter: "Mayor Sui, since you are already here, I will tell you directly. Just now Mayor Zhou also

I was just about to ask for leave from you. This time, Yueyue Village held a memorial ceremony and moved the tomb. They told me that Mayor Zhou is really indispensable. You see..."

As soon as Chu Boyang said this, Zhou Bin's whole face turned red, as if he was anxious, but he didn't say a word.

Sui Changsheng looked at Zhou Bin, then at Chu Boyang, and said seriously: "These are all feudal superstitions! As civil servants, we should stop them! But... the country also said that such things are only

It can be channeled but not blocked. If the villagers of Yueyue Village really need Lao Zhou, then Lao Zhou, you should go there. I will ask someone to handle your work later. How long do you need to take leave?"

"One week! Just one week!" Of course Zhou Bin would not say this by himself, but the person who said this was Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou happily walked from behind Zhou Bin to Sui Changsheng, and said with a smile: "Mayor Sui, we have to organize these things in the countryside. The village is waiting for our old man to go back to organize things. After the matter is over, we will also

I can't come back until everything is sorted out, so it will take a week. You see..."

"This..." Sui Changsheng thought about it for a moment before replying, "One week seems a bit long, but since Lao Zhou hasn't asked for leave in the past two years, I agree with you to ask for one week's leave.

Just one week!”

When Sui Changsheng said the last part, he patted Zhou Bin on the shoulder and said to Zhou Bin: "Old Zhou, you can go with peace of mind this week. Although you are going back to the village, you must also think well of the masses."

"That's natural. The job of our party members is to serve the people. As the mayor of the town, we are always connected with the people. I should learn from you." Zhou Bin couldn't care less about being kept at a distance by two young men and spoke to Sui Changsheng.

Then Sui Changsheng laughed, waved his hand to Zhou Bin, and said: "Oh, since you have guests at home, I won't bother you. Are you leaving tomorrow? Well, I'll go back first, so you can prepare well."

Wait, we’ll talk about it later when you come back!”

After saying that, Sui Changsheng really happily patted his butt and left.

As soon as Sui Changsheng left, both Chu Boyang and Zhou Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Bin was furious, pointed at Chu Boyang and said: "Chu Boyang, you are so brave! How dare you lie to Mayor Sui and say that I want to move the ancestral graves in Yueyue Village, and I will not go back with you in the next two days.

, I would like to see how you explain to Mayor Sui!"

"Come on, Old Zhou!" As soon as Zhou Bin finished his angry words, Aunt Zhou immediately poured cold water on him, "If you really don't want to go back, why didn't you tell Mayor Sui just now?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, when we asked you to go home and move the tomb, you just didn't say anything. If you didn't object, you acquiesced. If you acquiesced, you agreed to move the tomb!" Zhu Jun also said.

Zhou Bin glared at Zhu Jun angrily, then rolled his eyes at Aunt Zhou, but said nothing.

Chu Boyang was also happy there, but he didn't dare to be too naughty: "Mayor Zhou, actually I know it too! You are a filial son..."

But who would have thought that Chu Boyang had not finished half of what he said. Zhou Bin waved his hand towards Chu Boyang, meaning to tell him to stop talking. Instead, he said: "Before my father died, I was already

I became the deputy mayor. At that time, my father thought that I could be promoted to a higher position and honor our old Zhou family. But who knew, I have been the deputy mayor for nearly twenty years."

"Alas! Back then, I was the child that my father was most proud of, but now..."

As Zhou Bin spoke, he slowly sat down and sighed, "You know I haven't gone back to the village to worship my ancestors in the past two years. I usually just go back to see my mother and then leave in a hurry. This is all because I have done ten

I have been the deputy mayor for several years, but I have not been promoted at all. I am too embarrassed to go back and face the villagers! Even though I am still the highest-ranking official in Yueyue Village, but..."

The more he spoke, the more Zhou Bin sighed. People in their forties are not actually old people. In this era, medical and scientific development are rapid and advanced. People in their forties are considered middle-aged. But now

When he started talking, Zhou Bin sighed and looked like he had aged many years.

Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Bin's appearance and naturally felt extremely distressed. She stroked Zhou Bin's back and shook her head and said: "Old man, after so many years, others may not know about your hard work. We are husband and wife, of course I can understand.

You have been working hard for our father's last wish for so many years, working hard and working hard all your life, but bad luck has not come your way, what can you do? You have worked hard for so many years!"

"Alas..." Zhou Bin let out a long sigh and held Aunt Zhou's hand.

Looking at the couple who had been husband and wife for decades, Chu Boyang suddenly felt a sore nose, thinking of his late father and widowed mother. But before he could say anything, he suddenly heard someone next to him burst into tears.

No need to think too much, this person is Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun is really affectionate. He cries when he wants to cry and laughs when he talks. Sometimes he is as stupid as a donkey. As he said himself, his head was really caught in the door when he was a child, but sometimes he is smart and shrewd.

Like a strategist who is strategizing, he is already a blockbuster without saying anything. A single word at a critical moment is like possessing supreme wisdom.

No one knows what kind of person Zhu Jun is, maybe not even himself. He is wise but foolish, or really sometimes stupid and sometimes smart. But there is no doubt that when he cries, he must really cry, because tears can be faked.

But feelings cannot be faked.

Zhou Bin's house was instantly filled with cries like slaughtering pigs. Zhu Jun was crying and talking at the same time. He was talking about what his father said to him before he died. He even included two sentences about the short life of his Zhu family,

Let him live well and find a way to save the Zhu family. As he spoke and cried, Zhou Bin and Aunt Zhou and his wife felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Chu Boyang also felt deeply.

But the ending of this originally touching scene was still very "Zhu Jun-like". Halfway through crying and half-way through speaking, Zhu Jun actually fell asleep on the dining table!

Chu Boyang already had an embarrassed expression on his face, but Aunt Zhou suddenly showed her maternal tenderness, caressing Zhu Jun's back, sighing and stroking: "Oh, this child is a good child, but it is a pity that he is also a poor child.

…”

Zhou Bin also sighed. After glancing at Zhu Jun, he paused for a while, then turned to Chu Boyang and said to him: "Being able to get rid of the current position of deputy mayor and be promoted is not only my own goal, but also my goal."

It's my father's wish below. And although my mother didn't say anything, she definitely hopes that I can no longer be the deputy mayor for ten thousand years, so if moving the tomb can... really get me promoted, I would be willing to give it a try.

, and our ancestors of the Zhou family will definitely agree, but..."

Zhou Bin had already said so much before, and he had already agreed to move the tomb, but in the end he even said "just". Chu Boyang was suddenly a little annoyed. How could so many things in this world go smoothly?

There must be a "just" at the end? Such a turn is really heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

But even if you feel uncomfortable, there is nothing you can do about it. Sometimes these turning points will inevitably occur. After they occur, instead of just complaining, you should figure out the turning point and see if there is any way to make a difference.

"Just what? If we have any problems, we can discuss them." Chu Boyang could only say this.

Zhou Bin looked at Chu Boyang and wanted to speak, but he sighed three times in a row, then paused, and then said: "The relocation of graves, especially the relocation of ancestral graves, is not something I can have the final say on.

In the Zhou family, or in our Sun and Moon Village, the hierarchy is very clear. For such a big matter in the family, the person with the highest seniority must give his approval."

"Isn't your family the one with the highest seniority?" Chu Boyang spoke quickly and spoke out immediately. After finishing speaking, he said with an explanation, "When I was in your old house, Director Zhou told me

of!"

Zhou Bin did not deny it, but just nodded and said to Chu Boyang: "You are right, our family is the senior one in the village, don't look at my little niece Su Tao... Have you met? It's good.

A child who is well-behaved and sensible. Su Tao, although she is young, but when walking around the village, half of those who are older than me only need to call her brother or sister. As for the younger ones, they almost all have to be separated.

Seniority! In our family, the one with the highest seniority and the most decisive voice is my mother!"

"I almost guessed it was Grandma Zhou!" Chu Boyang nodded and said, "I have met Grandma Zhou. Although she is old, she is very energetic, like... like one of those immortals.

Like a master of style, I admire Grandma Zhou very much!"

Zhou Bin still nodded and admitted, saying: "My mother is indeed a great person. More than 20 years after my father's death, my mother has been thinking about my father's last wish and wants to carry forward the Zhou family. It's just that my second child and I

Everyone is not up to par, and there are not many ambitious young people in the village. Sigh... Let’s talk about my mother, moving the ancestral graves is a very important matter, and I’m afraid my mother won’t agree!”

"Maybe Grandma Zhou won't agree? Is it that simple?" Chu Boyang was relieved when he heard that the problem was that Grandma Zhou wouldn't agree to move the grave.

Zhou Bin frowned and stared at Chu Boyang, and asked seriously: "Do you think you can persuade my mother to agree to move the grave?"

Chu Boyang was still laughing easily: "Mayor Zhou, don't even think about it, Grandma Zhou is a superstitious person. Now I can even persuade you, a non-superstitious person, how can I still not persuade Grandma Zhou?

Don’t worry! I already have a plan, and as long as you cooperate, everything will be fine!"
