At midnight sharp, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala is over.
Everyone in the villa applauded to celebrate, and Xie Hao even went out to pull off a firecracker, which crackled outside. After the celebration, the Spring Festival Gala continued, and there were some programs. Taking advantage of this time, Xia Yanzhen and Ci
Lifen went to the kitchen to make dumplings. Although many people had eaten around eight o'clock and were not very hungry yet, it was like this every year, and they had to eat a few dumplings for the New Year.
Ring ring ring.
Ring ring ring.
The phone kept ringing.
Most of the people here are higher-level leaders. Even Xie Jing is a cadre. At this time, the most people are paying New Year greetings.
Everyone answered the phone one after another, and it suddenly became very busy.
Dong Xuebin was similar. He received New Year greetings from several old friends and subordinates with whom he had good relationships. Most of those who could make calls at this time had very good relationships with him.
For example, Luo Haiting.
"Director Dong, I am Lao Luo."
"Sister Luo, happy New Year."
"You too, Happy New Year, I wish you success in the new year."
"Haha, okay, then I will lend you some good advice, and you will take good care of your lover and children."
"Okay, I know you are busy, so I won't bother you for now. I will visit your home in the second grade of junior high school."
After answering a few phone calls, Dong Xuebin also made a few more calls, such as to the leaders of his own unit. For example, to his mother and Yang Zhaode, Yang Shuer, and finally found a deserted corner to secretly call Yu Meixia, Jiang Fangfang, Qu Yunxuan, Xu Yan, and Zhang Longjuan.
Geng Yuehua and others threw a phone call over to ask, and the call lasted longer. Everyone chatted for a while, and they were all the women with whom they had the closest relationship.
"It's time to eat."
"The dumplings are here."
"Come and eat, Xiaobin, stop making phone calls."
Xia Yanzhen and Ci Lifen gathered everyone together and put several plates of hot dumplings on the table.
Dong Xuebin responded, hung up the phone and sat over, waiting for the elders to move their chopsticks. Then he picked one up and tasted it. Well, it smells good!
Ci Lifen said: "Xiao Hao, eat."
Xie Hao pouted and said, "I'm not even hungry."
"Eat a few even if you're not hungry, hurry up." Ci Lifen said to her son.
Xie Hao snorted. "I just finished dinner. Just eat and leave me alone."
Dong Xuebin criticized and educated him. "It's not a question of whether you're hungry or not. It's tradition to eat dumplings during the New Year. It's also a sign of respect for the culture of our republic over the years. Even if you're not hungry, fill one up symbolically. Let's get together as a family."
It’s not easy, you’re the only one doing something special, right?”
Xie Guoliang smiled and said: "Xiao Bin is right, haha."
Xie Hao disagreed, "You are all superstitious."
"Superstition and culture are two different concepts." Dong Xuebin gave him a dumpling, "Hurry up and eat one. It's delicious. I'm sure you'll enjoy eating one."
Xie Hao reluctantly tasted one and swallowed it with difficulty, but after eating it, his eyes lit up, "Hey, it's really delicious. I'll have another one, hehe."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Let me just say it, my mother and my eldest and second aunt's cooking skills can't be any different. The dumplings are simply amazing."
Han Jing pointed at him with a smile, "This kid is always trying to flatter you, haha, but Mom likes to hear it!"
The family was eating hot dumplings, and the atmosphere at the table was lively and cheerful, with everyone chatting away, full of Chinese New Year flavor.
After meal.
Mr. Xie went to bed first. After all, he was still in poor health at such an old age and it was not easy to stay up so late. Han Jing and Xia Yanzhen pestered the old man upstairs.
Xie Hao still wanted to set off firecrackers, so he pulled Hou Ming out.
Xie Ran, Xie Jing and others continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala with several elders.
The same goes for Dong Xuebin. Sitting down there drinking tea and watching TV, he will definitely not go to bed so early because he still has something on his mind. Han Jing said before that he would ask Xie Guobang's opinion when the time comes. Dong Xuebin is still waiting for a letter.
Well, he couldn't care less about this matter. It was not a trivial matter, but related to Dong Xuebin's future development route and work form. Dong Xuebin was currently focused on work, and what he cared about most was this transfer.
If he can succeed, he will really reach the sky in one step. But the crux of the problem is that he can't tell his family about this kind of thing, and he can't explain it, so he feels very uneasy. He doesn't know if his family will agree, and he doesn't know if they will.
I won't help him move. After all, his reasons are not that good, but he really can't tell anyone.
Ten minutes later.
Han Jing came down from upstairs.
"Master, have you rested?" Xie Guobang asked.
Han Jing said yes, "I lay down and took an electrocardiogram and blood pressure. They are all fine. I have rested and the health care doctor is with me."
Xie Guobang nodded, "Thanks to Xiaobin this time, the old man's illness was cured, otherwise this year would not have been so comfortable."
Han Jing said: "Yes, this guy can always surprise people."
Xie Guobang looked at his watch, "I'm not leaving today, let's take a rest too?"
"Okay, but you come here first and I want to tell you something." Han Jing said.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xie Guobang looked at his wife, "Can't we say it here?"
"Just come here." There were many people here, so Han Jing didn't say anything, "It's Xiaobin's business."
Xie Guobang nodded and followed his wife upstairs. Everyone was still watching the Spring Festival Gala downstairs. There was no one upstairs. Xie Guobang said: "Tell me."
Dong Xuebin also noticed that side and looked up.
After walking upstairs, Han Jingcai smiled bitterly and said: "It's this guy Xiaobin. He told me before that he wanted to mention the deputy director. It seems that he wants to mention it this year."
Xie Guobang also shook his head, "Where did this go?"
"Yes, that's what I said. With his current qualifications and various aspects, he is still far from being a deputy director. It will be impossible in at least three years." Han Jing said helplessly: "But you are not this kid.
I don’t know, I’m just a petty official fan. Just now, Xiao Bin came to see me again, saying that he wanted to be transferred to some county. Well, by the way, Jiao Neighboring County. I don’t even know where I want to be a grassroots official.
What can I say?"
Xie Guobang thought for a while, "Jiaolin County? Where?"
"It's a small county in northern Shaanxi Province. That's what he said. I've never heard of it." Han Jing said, "Xiao Bin seems to have made up his mind to go there."
Xie Guobang waved his hand, "What did he do there in the past? He didn't make any big mistakes. The adjustments were all step by step. How could he go further down? Although a county party committee secretary and county magistrate are considered to be the same as his current position.
They are at the same level, but their positions are slightly different. It would be okay if their qualifications and environment were different. For example, Xiaoran and Xiaojing have no grassroots experience, so this transfer is okay, but Xiaobin has always worked at the grassroots level. In this regard
The accumulation is enough for the time being, so transferring him to the grassroots level won’t mean much, at least it’s not equivalent to his current position.”
Han Jing sighed and said, "I told him the same thing, but this kid refused to listen and kept thinking about it. He even said he could even be the county magistrate."
Xie Guobang asked: "What did he think?"
Han Jing shook her head, "Who knows, most people can't understand what our son-in-law thinks. This kid never plays his cards according to the routine. It's not like you don't know." After a pause, Han Jing said: "But every time Xiaobin decides
Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with the things that happened, such as the earthquake, and many things, but none of us believed it. In the end, Xiao Bin did it insistently, and in the end it was proved that he was right? So I
I knew it wasn't appropriate, but I hesitated for a moment and thought of discussing it with you, so I didn't reply directly to him."
Xie Guobang pondered, "You are right, this kid always has some mysterious abilities that cannot be measured by common sense."
Han Jing said: "Then what do you think we should do? Are we really going to transfer him?"
Xie Guobang said: "Well, let me talk to Xiaobin."
"That's okay, but don't criticize him, I'm telling you." Han Jing's face was serious, and she was very protective of her shortcomings.
…
After a while.
Xie Guobang waved from upstairs, "Xiaobin, come here."
Dong Xuebin snorted, knowing what was going on, "Dad, I'll go up right now."
Walking up the steps, Xie Guobang was already waiting for him, "I heard that you want to go to a county in northern Shaanxi? You've already thought about it? Are you sure?"
Dong Xuebin said hard, "Yes."
Xie Guobang said: "The grassroots level there does not have the same environment as the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it may affect your future development and delay your promotion. Are you sure you are ready?"
Dong Xuebin said: "I'm really ready, dad. I've worked in national-level poverty-stricken counties. What does this mean? I'm definitely fine."
Xie Guobang looked into his eyes.
Dong Xuebin looked back at his father-in-law without hiding at all.
After a while, Xie Guobang hummed, "Well, since you have decided, it is useless for us to say anything. Your character is not able to listen to other people's opinions. Well, you can go if you want to, but I can
Let's talk about it first. I can only contact you about this matter. If you want to go to northern Shaanxi, I or even the old man can't do it. You may not know that that is the boundary of the Fang family. If you want to
If the county party committee secretary or county magistrate of a county is transferred and replaced by you, I won't be able to help you much. The relationship between our family and the Fang family has never been very good, and it is also more difficult for the Organization Department of the Central Committee to operate.
, after all, you just promoted the Director of the Second Division, not even for a few months. It is very difficult for you to transfer now. Are you prepared for this? "
The Fang family’s territory?
Dong Xuebin really doesn’t know this.
There are also certain obstacles in the Organization Department of the Central Committee?
His mind was spinning, but Dong Xuebin still said firmly: "Dad, I have really decided. I must go down this time, otherwise I will not have this opportunity in the future."
Xie Guobang said: "Okay, then you give it a try. As long as there are vacancies in Jiao Neighboring County, as long as the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China nods, I will help you with other things." (To be continued...)
