Seeing her parents' expressions changing one after another, Chen Jun didn't take it seriously. She just chuckled as if watching a good show. At this time, her mother said: "Xiao Liu, you are only 23 years old this year. Have you ever thought about when you plan to
marry?"
Liu Siyuan was unusually honest and said: "Auntie, I think I am still relatively young now, so I should focus on my career. Getting married within two or three years is unlikely."
At this time, her mother's face darkened and she said, "But our Xiaojun is already twenty-six years old, and all her relatives and sisters are already married. Will she become an old girl in two or three years?"
Her father also interjected: "Our Xiaojun is still a full-time cadre after all. Being unable to have a family will also affect her promotion." There were obviously some hints in his words.
At this time, Chen Jun saw that someone was being 'besieged' and had to stand up and said: "Dad, Mom, what are you anxious about? I'm not even anxious myself. By the way, Siyuan came all the way here, and I didn't even have lunch."
If it doesn’t taste good, I must be hungry, so let’s eat first.”
Her mother sighed, nodded and said, "I'll go cook, and you two can chat slowly."
While her father was walking away to the bathroom, Liu Siyuan secretly said to Chen Jun: "It seems like your parents are not satisfied with me."
Chen Jun chuckled and said, "Isn't that good? If they are too satisfied and force you to marry me quickly, wouldn't you be miserable?"
Liu Siyuan thought it made sense, and heard Chen Jun ask again: "Tell me, if I really married someone else, would you be very jealous?"
Liu Siyuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her question. Fortunately, her father came out of the bathroom at this time and inadvertently helped him out.
Chen Jun's father sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and asked Liu Siyuan if he smoked. The latter quickly shook his head and said he didn't smoke. Her father said oh, and said softly: "In this officialdom, not smoking is not a problem.
Good thing... As the saying goes, tobacco and alcohol do not separate families."
Liu Siyuan did not argue on this issue and said very modestly: "Uncle, no matter what, smoking is bad for your health..."
Her father smiled and said he couldn't quit, then after thinking about it for a long time he asked: "Xiao Liu, what are your plans for the future? You don't plan to work in the town all the time, do you?"
Liu Si said frankly: "Uncle is right. I am indeed considering whether to return to Hanjiang City to work in the future or continue to stay in Ziwei City. But this will happen in the future. At present, my work in Beixi Town has just started.
I also hope that I can continue to hone my skills. When we young people are engaged in work, we should take it one step at a time, and step on it steadily every step of the way."
Her father was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xiao Liu, I'm just talking casually. Don't blame me for listening first. I think although what you said is good, you should still take a long-term view. Beixi Town is just a town after all.
, Under the current system, it is not easy to promote township cadres, and I know that the work in townships is very different from that in counties and cities. If I cannot return to the city or county for a long time, I am afraid there will be a disconnect.
You have to be careful."
Liu Siyuan quickly said modestly: "What my uncle said makes sense. Township work is indeed complicated. Comrades in townships also have many jobs. They must not only write beautiful articles, but also learn to get along with the masses. Otherwise, the work in the townships will be complicated.
It was completely impossible to start. Last time I went to the village to inspect the work, two villagers got into a fight over a cow. As a result, the director of our party and government office broke up the fight with just a few words. Comrades in the city and county certainly can't do this."
Her father listened well at first. When he heard the word "inspection", he thought of something and asked, "What is Xiao Liu's specific position in Beixi Town? Could he be the deputy mayor?" He said the second half of the sentence.
I was a little hesitant, maybe because Liu Siyuan was too young.
Liu Siyuan waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I misunderstood. I am not the deputy mayor. My position is in the town party committee."
Her father persisted and asked: "What position is appointed in the party?"
Liu Siyuan hesitated for a while, then looked back at Chen Jun. Seeing the latter nodding, he said: "I will assume the position of secretary."
Her father suddenly shook his hand and said, "Secretary of the town party committee?"
"Um."
"Then you, like Xiaojun, are already at the undergraduate level?" her father asked excitedly.
Liu Siyuan smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "Uncle, just a few years ago, I was promoted to deputy director level because I also served as a standing committee member of the county party committee."
Her father was speechless for a while. He finally came to his senses and sighed with emotion: "Xiao Liu is a 23-year-old member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. It's not easy, it's not easy!"
After her mother came out after cooking dinner, she found out that Liu Siyuan was already a deputy department-level cadre and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. She was also shocked. She turned around and immediately told Chen Jun, saying that she did not introduce her clearly in advance, which was rare for Chen Jun.
With a mischievous expression, he stuck out his tongue and said, "You didn't ask..."
By dinner time, her parents were obviously much more enthusiastic. They kept bringing him food and looked forward to him as they spoke.
It's just that her mother kept mentioning that our Xiaojun is not young anymore, and that Xiao Liu should get married first and then start a career. Two or three years is too long. I think you two can get along for a year and a half at most.
After the matter was done, the meaning revealed in his words was that he agreed to the relationship between the two.
After dinner, he declined her parents' invitation to stay at home and insisted on returning to the hotel. At first, her parents wanted to insist. Later, Chen Jun came forward and said that Siyuan was now a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and was afraid that others would gossip too much.
Only then did I convince the two elders.
Not long after Chen Jun sent him out, he just walked out of the community and said with a smile: "I'd better go home early and be a good girl. You know the way back to the hotel, right?"
Liu Siyuan nodded and said there was no problem. Chen Jun pursed his lips and thought for a while and said: "But seriously, it's really time for me to get married. You'd better seriously consider the question I asked you just now. It's for the two of us.
Time is really running out.”
Seeing that he was deep in thought, she didn't say much, kissed him on the cheek, and returned home directly.
That night, Liu Siyuan also felt a little tired. He was in a dilemma when he thought about Chen Jun's problem. On the one hand, he imagined that she would be jealous if she really got married, but on the other hand, he didn't want to just delay this girl, and she was still in the officialdom.
, will not only delay her lifelong events, but also affect her development prospects.
In the midst of the dilemma, I received another call from home. My mother told me on the phone that many unknown people came to visit me to pay New Year greetings. Unexpectedly, he left home so early and left behind a lot of various gifts.
Liu Siyuan asked about the names and found out that they were basically some cadres from Beixi Town and individual county bureau cadres. He told his mother that they could go wherever they wanted. They could accept simple local products, but they must not keep expensive gifts.
My mother said on the phone that I understand, so don’t worry.
The next morning, Chen Jun came to see him again, but he never mentioned the topic of last night, and just said that he would take him around Beiyang City. Liu Siyuan said helplessly that he hadn't slept well in the past few days, so he should go out later, let him
Rest in my room for a while.
Chen Jun said: "Okay, then you have a good rest. I came early today, but don't blame me. I can't help it. I didn't wake up early in the morning, so my parents pulled me and asked me when I planned to go.
Marry you. I was so annoyed that I came to seek refuge with you."
Liu Siyuan smiled bitterly and took the initiative to raise the topic: "Then what are you going to do? If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for the rest of your life."
Chen Jun thought about it for a long time, with a sad look on his face, and then said for a long time: "How about we just fake the marriage and fake it?" After saying this, he shook his head and said that it was really not feasible.
The two were silent for a long time, and then suddenly looked at each other in tacit understanding. For a moment, Liu Siyuan suddenly felt that there was an invisible gap between the two, which was insurmountable.
