Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 632 Surprise!

Chen Xiaojun accompanied Wu Aiyun to Bianyifang to eat roast duck, took Wu Aiyun back to the guest house by bus, and then took the bus to her mother's work.

"Isn't this Xiaojun? I heard from your mother that you were assigned to work in the Industrial Bureau. Is this true?" Chen Xiaojun walked to the gate of the subdistrict office. When the concierge of the subdistrict office saw Chen Xiaojun, he immediately followed him enthusiastically Chen Xiaojun said hello.

When Chen Xiaojun heard what the concierge said, he instinctively stopped. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the concierge, and said politely: "Uncle Li! You smoke, I was just assigned last week. I work in the Industrial Bureau, and now I work in the Light Industry Department.”

Uncle Li saw the cigarette handed over by Chen Xiaojun, reached out and took the cigarette from Chen Xiaojun's hand, then brought the cigarette to his nose and sniffed it, and said intoxicatedly: "This cigarette is worthy of being a cadre's cigarette. It smells delicious."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he took out a match, lit a cigarette, and then said to Chen Xiaojun: "Xiaojun! Deputy Director Zheng just finished lunch in the cafeteria. He must be in the office now. If you have anything to ask her, Just hurry in!"

When Chen Xiaojun heard what Uncle Li said, he smiled and said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li! I'll go in first, you're busy."

After Chen Xiaojun said goodbye to Uncle Li, he walked quickly into the courtyard of the street office, and then came to the door of an office with a familiar route. He smiled and greeted several people sitting in the office: "Hello Aunt Liu! Hello Uncle Zhang! Brother Zhong good!"

Zheng Li, who was chatting with her colleagues, heard Chen Xiaojun's greeting and subconsciously looked towards the office door. When she saw her son walking into the office from outside, she asked Chen Xiaojun curiously: "Xiaojun! This Time, shouldn't you be working at work? How could you come to me when you have time?"

"Xiaojun! I heard your mother say that you found a partner in Shanghai and will get married soon. Is this true?" Chen Xiaojun heard Zheng Li's inquiry and was about to explain. Aunt Liu took the lead and asked Chen Xiaojun.

Chen Xiaojun heard Aunt Liu's inquiry and thought of the reason why he came here. He smiled and replied: "Aunt Liu! Are you telling the truth? I dated a partner when I was studying in Shanghai, and now I'm waiting for my partner. After settling in the household registration, we will get the certificate and get married."

Uncle Zhang in Chen Xiaojun's mouth was the one responsible for allocating work. When he heard the situation introduced by Chen Xiaojun, he asked Chen Xiaojun curiously: "Xiaojun! You need a letter of introduction from your work unit to settle in. Your target is Shanghai." Yes, it’s very troublesome to transfer the household registration from Shanghai to Shanghai.”

Chen Xiaojun heard Uncle Zhang's reminder and thought of Wu Aiyun's work problem, so he quickly introduced: "Uncle Zhang! My partner's job has been clearly implemented. He works as an accountant in the financial department of a department store. The salary is based on the standards of a level 7 clerk. Each The monthly salary is 37 yuan and 5 cents."

When Uncle Zhang heard the situation introduced by Chen Xiaojun, he showed a surprised expression on his face and blurted out: "Xiaojun! That department store is a good unit! Your partner just started working, and he was graded directly according to the standards of a level 7 clerk. It seems that Your dad probably put a lot of thought into your partner's job!"

At this time, Zheng Li also had a surprised expression on her face when she learned that her future daughter-in-law's job was not as a salesperson in a department store, but as a clerk in the department store's finance department.

Faced with what her colleague Lao Zhang said to her son, Zheng Li immediately explained: "Lao Zhang! Xiaojun's work has nothing to do with our family, Lao Chen. It is Xiaojun's cousin, who is helping her through connections. Arranged." Liu Juan heard Zheng Li's explanation and asked Zheng Li curiously: "Zheng Li! Isn't your Xiaojun's partner from Shanghai? Does it matter that her family is in our Kyoto city?"

Zheng Li heard Liu Juan's inquiry and explained with a smile: "Liu Juan! Xiaojun's future father-in-law is from Kyoto City. He settled in Shanghai City because of work. However, her partner's uncle and aunt They all live in Kyoto City.”

"When the two children were discussing marriage, Xiaojun's uncle helped her partner arrange a job at the Fangshan Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Xiaojun's cousin thought that Fangshan was too far away, so he used connections to help her find a job in a department store. For a job, I originally thought it was a salesperson, but I didn’t expect it to be a clerk in the finance department.”

When Liu Juan heard the situation introduced by Zheng Li, she thought that Chen Xiaojun's partner would be able to receive the salary of a level 7 clerk as soon as he started working. She said to Zheng Li with envy: "Zheng Li! It seems that your future daughter-in-law's natal family , I have some connections in our Kyoto city, and I can actually arrange such a popular job for your future daughter-in-law."

When Zheng Li heard Liu Juan's words, she thought of Wu Aiguo's photos taken with Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji, and introduced to several colleagues: "Liu Juan! The cousin of Xiaojun's target works in the Government Affairs Council. He once took a photo with Mr. Zhi and Mr. Ji." Mr. Ji has taken group photos."

When Liu Juan heard the situation introduced by Zheng Li, she showed a shocked expression on her face, and said to Zheng Li with envy: "Zheng Li! I didn't expect that your Xiaojun is so good at studying, and he is so discerning even in finding a wife!"

Liu Juan's praise greatly satisfied Zheng Li's vanity. She looked at the envious expressions of her colleagues and asked Chen Xiaojun with a smile: "Xiaojun! You specifically asked for leave to come see me at this time. I don't know why. For what reason?"

When Chen Xiaojun heard Zheng Li's inquiry, he thought of the purpose of his trip and quickly explained to Zheng Li: "Mom! It's a coincidence that the leader of Aiyun's father's factory came to Kyoto on a business trip, and Aiyun's father I took the opportunity of a business trip to send Aiyun to Kyoto City. Aiyun’s cousin is going to treat me to dinner tonight, and I wanted to buy a few bottles of wine to take with me, so I ran over to you to ask for a drink ticket."

Zheng Li learned her son's purpose and said to Chen Xiaojun: "Xiaojun! I keep the wine tickets at home, in the drawer where living expenses are usually kept. If you want it, just go home and get it yourself."

"When you see Aiyun's cousin, you must remember to thank him. After all, he helped your future wife find a good job."

When Chen Xiaojun heard his mother's instructions, he immediately nodded and replied: "Mom! I understand. I will definitely thank my cousin properly when we have dinner in the evening!"

When Zheng Li heard Chen Xiaojun's answer, she did not forget to tell Chen Xiaojun: "Xiaojun! When you go, remember to bring more money with you. After all, this is a matter between you and Aiyun. You can't let Aiyun's cousin I’ll give you some money to help you and your wife do things.”

"In addition, when you see your future father-in-law, remember to say hello to your future father-in-law. We will treat them to dinner tomorrow night. When I get home in the evening, I will ask your father to book a restaurant for dinner tomorrow night."
