Chapter 52 The Unexpected Phone Call

Nanzhou City, Jiangling District.

In a faculty dormitory of Nanzhou Normal University, a family of three was eating New Year's Eve dinner.

"Mom, it's really not that I won't come back to see you two. It's just that I'm too busy with work to spare any time."

While his mother was picking up food for him, he was nagging and complaining about himself. Jiang Yunhao was also very helpless.

It was his plan to go home for the New Year this year.

Since I entered the military academy, I have been able to take longer vacations to accompany me even every two years.

But during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yunhao never went back, and he really felt sorry for his parents.

"It's okay to be busy in the army, but why are you so busy when you return home? I don't believe it!"

My mother, Lin Gujuan, is forty-eight years old this year, but she only looks like thirty people.

Although the dress is not ostentatious, it is very elegant.

Especially the gold-rimmed glasses he wears, he looks like an intellectual at first glance.

His father, Jiang Hengduo, understood his son very well and helped smooth things over from time to time.

"I told you to listen to your mother and study law, but you didn't listen, so you went to the military academy instead. Otherwise, you would have graduated with a doctorate now!"

Lin Gujuan is still a little bit worried about her son's choice back then.

"Juanzi, let's not talk about the past. My son is doing well now. He is already a county magistrate, and he is almost at a higher level than the two of us..."

Jiang Hengduo and Lin Gujuan are both intellectuals. One is the deputy director of the Political and Educational Office at Eastern Polytechnic University, and the other is the director of the Law Department of Nanzhou Normal University.

Eastern Polytechnic University is a 985 university and belongs to the deputy ministerial level structure.

The deputy director of the Political and Education Department is roughly equivalent to the local deputy department level.

Nanzhou Normal University, where Lin Gujuan is located, is a 211 university with a department-level structure.

As the head of the department, she is roughly equivalent to a local division-level cadre.

Of course, the administrative levels of colleges and universities are relatively complex and cannot be simply compared with local governments.

My parents are both high-level intellectuals, which probably makes many people envious and jealous.

However, being born into such a family is sometimes not a good thing.

Like Jiang Yunhao, he feels tortured at home, being lectured all the time.

I originally thought that the situation would improve after I changed my job and returned to my hometown.

But now it seems that it is just my own beautiful vision after all.

Sighing secretly, Jiang Yunhao could only take out his mobile phone and look through it.

"What are you looking at on your phone while you're eating?"

Lin Gujuan slapped his hand and took away the phone.

"I have a text message from a colleague, I need to answer it."

After hearing this, Lin Gujuan immediately stopped talking.

Although she kept criticizing her son, she was actually quite proud of him in her heart.

County magistrates in their twenties are rare even in Nanzhou City, which promotes younger cadres.

As the head of the department, she is somewhat familiar with some matters in the officialdom.

The son is now the county magistrate, and one of his parents is an official.

There must be many cadres below sending blessing text messages.

He must still reply to the text messages that should be answered, so as not to make others think that he is arrogant.

When Jiang Yunhao replied to the text message, Jiang Hengduo couldn't help but glance at his wife.

When Jiang Yunhao came back in the past, his wife kept clamoring for him to go on a blind date and start a family as soon as possible.

But this time when her son came back for the New Year, she didn't mention it at all.

Could it be said that my wife has changed her temper?

Jiang Hengduo's doubts were answered after eating.

He asked his son this question while he was out for a walk.

When Lin Gujuan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband.

"Are you stupid? Your son is now a county magistrate, how can you let him go on a blind date again? If people know about this, we still don't know how to spread it."

After hearing this, Jiang Hengduo was stunned.

If you think about it carefully, what my wife said is by no means alarmist.

According to local rumors, it is not an exaggeration to say that "three people become a tiger".

At the end of the day, my son failed to go on a blind date, but he got the title of "Blind Date County Magistrate". That would be embarrassing.

"Yes, yes, Juanzi, you are right, but I didn't take it into consideration."

Seeing that her husband admitted his mistake, Lin Gujuan snorted with satisfaction.

"However, we are really concerned about our son's marriage."

Glancing sideways at her husband, Lin Gujuan said disdainfully, "Forget about your school, they are all rough guys. I'll keep an eye on you later. We don't go on a blind date, but we must know the basics."

Of course, Jiang Hengduo would not argue with his wife about this kind of thing, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Looking out the window, Lin Gujuan vowed: "In short, I must see my grandson within five years!"

Nanzhou Normal University has a higher proportion of women, and many of the new batch of teachers are students taught by Lin Gujuan.

With such an innate advantage, she should be able to find a daughter-in-law easily.

Jiang Yunhao didn't know that his parents had secretly set a "five-year plan" for him. He was currently answering the phone on the path outside.

The call was from Gong Xiaoqin.

Firstly, it is to wish the New Year in advance;

Another one, I also reported to Jiang Yunhao on some work after the New Year.

Jiang Yunhao highly recognized Gong Xiaoqin's work ability.

This propaganda minister is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and has strong organizational and coordination skills.

Whether she is engaged in party affairs or economics, she is a good hand.

After communicating with Gong Xiaoqin, Xu Guohong also called.

As for other cadres, they basically just send a blessing text message.

After communicating with Xu Guohong, Jiang Yunhao felt that he would not receive any other calls tonight.

It happened that the time for walking was almost over, so Jiang Yunhao planned to turn around and walk back.

Before he could move, the phone rang again.

I picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number.

Jiang Yunhao pressed the connect button, and a deep voice came from inside.

"Are you County Magistrate Jiang? I am Dai Zhigang of Jiangling District."

Dai Zhigang?

Executive deputy director of Jiangling District?

As a native of Jiangling, Nanzhou City, Jiang Yunhao certainly knows who the local officials are.

Dai Zhigang is the second-ranking figure in Jiangling District Government and one of the popular candidates to be the next district mayor.

Jiang Yunhao was not surprised that his parents in his hometown knew about him.

After all, he has won first-class merit twice and is a first-class meritorious official.

Here in my hometown, not only can I receive letters, but a grand commendation ceremony will also be held.

However, it is usually enough for a deputy director of the district's Civil Affairs Bureau to take action in this kind of matter.

I guess I just registered with the district government.

Jiang Yunhao didn't expect this sudden call from the deputy district chief today.

"District Chief Dai, hello, hello, I'm Jiang Yunhao."

Jiang Yunhao didn't have time to think too much and quickly revealed his identity.

"Ha, County Magistrate Jiang, you should be back for the New Year this year, right?"

Dai Zhigang asked.

"Uh, yeah."

Jiang Yunhao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I just had New Year's Eve dinner with my family and was walking around the door."

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
