In the room, everyone was digesting the news of Dong Xuebin's appointment as deputy director.
Seeing Tang Jin hugging him and spinning around, Dong Xuebin pulled her away in a funny way and rubbed the hair on her head, "You were naughty when you were a child. You climbed houses and trees. You were even more of a boy than a boy. Now you are so old.
Why are you so naughty?" Tang Jin never went to college. She worked part-time after high school and now works in a factory in the countryside that makes leather bags and schoolbags. Calculated, she is not much younger than Dong Xuebin.
Tang Jin chuckled, "I'm just happy. When did our family have such a big official?"
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "With only a department level, he is still the last deputy director in the county bureau. How can he be considered a high official?"
Tang Jin said with a playful smile: "Isn't this big? Have you seen a few people who became deputy directors in their early twenties? Cousin, you won't leave in the future, right? Just develop in Yantai? That's great!
"
Dong Xuebin said: "I guess I won't be able to move in a year or two. I don't know in the future."
The second aunt saw her daughter chirping and pestering Dong Xuebin, and said hurriedly: "Xiaojin, your cousin has had a hard day. Don't be ignorant and let your cousin rest for a while. By the way, your cousin helped you punish those little gangsters."
"Why don't you even say thank you?" Knowing that Dong Xuebin became a big leader, the second aunt suddenly became a little cautious. Seeing that the water in Dong Xuebin's cup was empty, she picked up a green plastic thermos and asked for it.
Go over and pour water.
Tang Jin said: "Thank you, cousin."
"You're welcome." After saying this, Dong Xuebin quickly stopped the second aunt who was about to pour water, grabbed the thermos, and poured a glass of water for her and the second uncle respectively, "Second aunt, don't be polite to me.
We are a family. If I don’t stand up for Xiaojin, who will stand up for her? When my father was critically ill, you took out all your savings and lent them to my family. I will remember this forever. If you have any difficulties in the future, just follow me.
explain."
The second aunt felt warm in her heart and smiled happily: "It's only tens of thousands of dollars."
Dong Xuebin brought up old things again on purpose. Both his uncle and aunt looked a little embarrassed. When Luan Xiaoping's family reached out to them, they knew that Dong Xuebin's father's illness was a bottomless pit. No amount of money was enough to spend, so they couldn't spend even a penny.
Didn't lend it to them.
Luan Xiaoping was kind-hearted and didn't want her son to get into trouble with his family, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Xiao Bin, you don't have a place to live in the county town, right? Then you might as well live in the countryside. Anyway, the county town is not far from here. When the time comes, you can buy
I only need a motorcycle, and it’s not cost-effective to stay in a hotel from here when I work from here.”
Dong Xuebin took his mother and sat down, "Mom, I am a leader after all, how can I not have a place to live? I just went to report in the morning, and the house came down in the afternoon. It is a two-bedroom apartment with complete furniture and electrical appliances. It looks better than ordinary
Hotels are better.”
The aunt exclaimed, "Are they all divided into houses?"
The eldest uncle glared at her and said, "What a fuss. Xiaobin is such a big official. Of course he has to arrange a house."
Dong Xuebin didn't want to deal with anyone except his second aunt's family, but his mother's face was still there after all, so he said absently: "I live here temporarily. If my position is changed, the house will have to be taken back."
Tang Jin looked at him enviously. After staying in the village for so many years, she was already tired of it. She even dreamed of buying a house in the county town.
After chatting for a while, Luan Xiaoping suddenly remembered that the dishes had not been washed yet, so she said: "You guys chat, I will wash the dishes first."
When the uncle heard this, he kicked his wife calmly.
Only then did the aunt react. She glanced at Dong Xuebin and hurriedly went up to hold Luan Xiaoping. "Xiaoping, go sit down and have a rest. Drink some water and eat some fruit. How can I let you wash the dishes after a busy day? I
Go, I’ll go.”
Luan Xiaoping quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, no, no, no, I'm not tired."
My aunt pretended to be unhappy and said, "Quick, sit down and have a rest and talk to Xiaobin and the others. I will take care of all the housework from now on."
The aunt also came up and said with a smile: "Xiao Ping, you and Xiao Bin haven't seen each other for a long time. Go and accompany your son. Your sister-in-law and I will do the rough work."
Luan Xiaoping was a little embarrassed, "Sister, sister-in-law, how can this be done? Let me do it." The usual housework was done by Luan Xiaoping or Dong Xuebin and his second aunt, the two youngest members of the family.
The old lady spoke at this time, "Xiao Ping, you are not in good health. You don't need to worry about this anymore. Let them go."
Luan Xiaoping was already the mother of the deputy director. Dong Xuebin was watching there with squinted eyes. Of course, her aunts and aunts could no longer let Luan Xiaoping do such rough work. Luan Xiaoping clearly felt the sudden change in her status in the family.
, a little uncomfortable. After all, the attitude of the sister-in-law and the eldest sister changed too quickly. Luan Xiaoping understood that these are the relationships between sons, and the mother is more valuable than the son.
Seeing that his family's attitude towards his mother had completely changed, Dong Xuebin felt quite comfortable.
The uncle also came over at this moment, took out a pack of red plums, handed one to Dong Xuebin, "Xiao Bin, have a cigarette."
People gave him face, so Dong Xuebin also gave him face, took the cigarette, lit it, and gave one of the Chinese cigarettes in his hands to his uncle, first uncle, and second uncle respectively. He could see that his mother was staring at him closely.
, Dong Xuebin realized that he had not smoked in front of his mother, and smiled, "Mom, I don't usually smoke."
In the past, Luan Xiaoping would have scolded him and said that smoking was harmful to health. But now that her son has become a high official, Luan Xiaoping's mentality has changed unconsciously. Instead of blaming her son, she feels that
It’s normal for my son to smoke. How many leaders don’t smoke?
Soon, my aunt came back after washing the dishes and said, "Xiaoping, I bought some clothes when I went to the county two days ago. Come on, let's try them out. If you like any of them, you can wear them."
Luan Xiaoping knew about this. When she got home that day, Aunt Xiaobin showed off that the clothes were not cheap, "Sister-in-law, I have clothes here, thank you."
Her aunt held her hand affectionately and said, "Why are you so polite to me? Let's go and give it a try."
When the aunt looked at him, he, who had just come back from the kitchen, followed her, "Xiaoping has always had a better figure than me. You can't wear my clothes anymore. I will buy you some someday." It seems that Luan Xiaoping is the one who owns this family.
Like their eldest daughter. In fact, they felt that their previous attitude towards their sister was a bit cold. Now that their son has become an official, they wanted to make up for it quickly and make up for the relationship. Secondly, their aunt and aunt knew that Dong Xuebin was angry.
The look was also deliberately made for Dong Xuebin to see.
9pm.
Small courtyard west house.
Dong Xuebin, who was getting ready to go to bed, still wanted to tell his second aunt and his family something. Before going to bed, he dragged them to his mother's room. Within a minute of entering the room and sitting down, Luan Xiaoping was wearing a piece given to her by her aunt Xiaobin.
The coat is back.
Tang Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "You are so beautiful."
The second aunt also said: "Yes, this dress suits you well."
Luan Xiaoping smiled bitterly, "You are almost fifty years old, how can you still be beautiful?" In fact, she felt quite comfortable.
Dong Xuebin also smiled and praised his mother a few words, and then he calmed down, grabbed his purse and said to Tang Jin: "Xiaojin, I didn't bring you anything today, come..." Dong Xuebin took out a bag that he had prepared early.
A good red envelope. The red envelope is so thick and bulging that it can't even be sealed with a sticker. "...You can take this, since the new year hasn't passed many days anyway, just treat it as lucky money."
Tang Jin waved his hands hastily, "No, no, I don't want it."
The second aunt also reached out and pushed, "Xiao Bin, how can I ask for your money? Take it back quickly."
Dong Xuebin forcibly opened Tang Jin's hand and gave her the red envelope, "Sister, take it as you are told, or else I'll fall out?"
Luan Xiaoping nodded secretly, thinking that her son was really sensible, and said: "Xiaojin, just take it if your brother gives it to you, don't be polite to him."
After pushing and pushing, some money in the red envelope suddenly squeezed out from the mouth. Everyone was stunned when they saw the thick pile. Everyone thought it was ten yuan or ten yuan, but they didn't expect it.
They were all red and colorful hundred-dollar bills, a total of ten thousand yuan!
The most the New Year's money Tang Jin receives every year is one hundred or fifty. When has he ever received ten thousand? At that time, he was dumbfounded, "Cousin, this, this is too much!"
The second uncle was dumbfounded and said: "Your sister's salary is only 10,000 yuan a year. You... this is not okay."
Dong Xuebin couldn't help but push the money to his sister again, "I said it's fine, just pretend. This girl is about to find a partner. Then I'll buy some more beautiful clothes."
Although Luan Xiaoping felt that the money was too much, she still said: "Take it quickly, your brother's salary is high."
The second aunt sighed, patted the back of Dong Xuebin's hand, and said nothing more.
Upon seeing this, Tang Jin looked at Dong Xuebin gratefully, "...Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome, haha." Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "When you get married, I will prepare a big gift for you." In fact, Dong Xuebin has been living in Beijing, and his sister has been living in the countryside. The two have been together since childhood.
We played together several times, but the relationship was not that close, but because of the relationship between his second aunt and second uncle, Dong Xuebin also loved Tang Jin from the bottom of his heart.
The second aunt and uncle understood that Dong Xuebin was repaying his kindness, and they felt very warm in their hearts.
When the second aunt and his family were leaving, Dong Xuebin whispered in Tang Jin's ear: "If you are short of money or have something to do in the future, just call my mobile phone. Do you remember the number?"
Tang Jin nodded heavily, "Thank you, cousin."
As soon as they left, Luan Xiaoping took her son and sat down on the bed, looked at him, but hesitated to speak.
Dong Xuebin said: "Mom, if you have anything to do, just tell me, uh, do you think I gave my sister too much money?"
"That's not true." Luan Xiaoping glanced at her son carefully and smacked her lips, "Your uncle and your aunt's family were indeed... But they are not rich either, and they don't have that much money to lend us, so we can't blame them too much.
You see, you gave your sister so much money, and you haven't been home for many years, why don't you... give your grandma and uncle a little too?" Seeing her son's frown, Luan Xiaoping said quickly: "It doesn't cost ten thousand.
If you want more, just give me two hundred or three hundred."
Dong Xuebin snorted and said nothing.
Luan Xiaoping stabbed her son in the arm, "You are also a big leader in the county. You haven't come back to see me in these years. Now you don't even take things. This etiquette... is not considerate. Son, just treat it like a mother.
To save face, can you buy a few cigarettes for your uncle and aunt and some money for your grandma?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Mom, I just gave you face. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even bother to talk to them."
Luan Xiaoping actually didn't want to embarrass her sons or give them money, but Luan Xiaoping was a child of this family after all, and she had to have this face. In addition, Aunt Xiaobin was so enthusiastic just now, pouring her water and giving her clothes.
It really doesn't make sense that her son came all the way but didn't show any signs of it. Seeing Dong Xuebin sitting there silently, Luan Xiaoping pursed her lips, deliberately squeezed her eye circles red, and shed a few tears.
Dong Xuebin was frightened at once, "I'm dizzy, why are you crying again? Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, can't I buy cigarettes? I'll go now! Stop crying! I was wrong. I
Wrong!"
Luan Xiaoping snorted and wiped away her tears. She knew that her son was filial, and he would definitely become obedient when she cried.
There were no Chinese cigarettes in the canteens in the village, and there were only a few Yuxi cigarettes left. Dong Xuebin bought them all. After going to the West Room, he put the cigarettes on the bed and took out a thousand yuan and said, "Mom, give them the stuff."
Just give it to me and say I bought it." After that, Dong Xuebin took out a bank card from his wallet and put it into his mother's hand.
Luan Xiaoping was stunned, "What is this for?"
"There are nearly 300,000 yuan in it. Just take the flowers and buy whatever you want."
"What?" Luan Xiaoping asked in shock: "Where did you get so much money!"
"Khan, don't be excited, don't be excited, listen to me and tell you slowly." Dong Xuebin smiled and hugged his mother's shoulders, "I didn't dare to tell you before, for fear that you would think that I had taken bribes. In fact, I earned these by myself.
When I was in college, I worked part-time in an antique shop, and my eyesight improved a bit. As a result, I picked up a lot of things and made about five million. Now I have opened an auction house in partnership with Aunt Xuan. After a while, I
It can be done."
Luan Xiaoping almost fainted from the figure of five million, "Are you serious? You didn't lie to mom?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, just ask Aunt Xuan, the auction company will be launched soon."
"Five million...five million..." Luan Xiaoping was worried, fearing that the money was not genuine. She held her son and asked for a long time before finally believing it.
Dong Xuebin gave his mother the bank card in Aunt Xuan's name, told her the password, and then said with a smile: "I don't know how to spend so much money, so you must take this money and buy something."
Clothes, buy an electric bicycle, just spend it anyway, I’ll give it to you if you don’t have it.”
Luan Xiaoping hesitated for a moment, did not refuse anymore, and wrote down the password on a piece of paper. But as she wrote, her tears couldn't stop falling. Today is probably the happiest day of Luan Xiaoping's life. Her son has become a baby.
The deputy director also made five million yuan. Finally, the old Dong family will no longer be looked down upon by others!!
