After eating, Chen Shaoping went to pay, but Zhang Junming grabbed Chen Shaoping, and Li Guodong ran over to pay.
"Shaoping, Mayor Li and I have something to do. It will take about an hour or so!" Zhang Junming took Chen Shaoping's hand and said, "During this time, you and your family should have a good talk. We will pick up your uncle and aunt in an hour!"
After he finished speaking, he said to Chen Shaoping's father, Chen Zhongshi, and his mother, Li Yufang: "Uncle, aunt, I will take you home in an hour!"
Chen Shaoping knew that Zhang Junming was a caring person. He didn't really have anything to do, but he deliberately made time to talk to Chen Shaoping's family.
"Shaoping, I heard Secretary Zhang say on the way that you are working as a secretary for the county magistrate now?"
Father Chen Zhongshi’s dark face was covered with ravine-like wrinkles, and he asked with a smile from ear to ear.
Chen Zhongshi was only fifty-three years old, but his hair was already gray.
"Yes, Dad, the document was issued just yesterday morning!"
Chen Shaoping saw the smile on his father's face and felt happy in his heart.
My parents have been honest farmers all their lives. They never asked for food or clothing. Their biggest wish is that their children will have a future.
Now that Chen Shaoping has done it, they should be happy.
"Okay, great, my son has a future!" With a smile on his face, Chen Zhongshi excitedly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and started smoking.
Seeing his father's happy look, Chen Shaoping had a sudden idea and said, "Dad, do you want to come to my office and have a look?"
"I'm not going, I'm not going!" said her mother, Li Yufang, shaking her head quickly.
"Go, go and have a look!" His younger brother, Chen Shaoan, couldn't wait to say.
"I don't dare to go. I'll meet the county magistrate then!" said his father, Chen Zhongshi, while smoking a cigarette.
"The county magistrate is having a meeting in the city, and you won't be able to meet him even if you want to!" Chen Shaoping said.
"No, no, it's not good to meet other leaders..." Li Yufang said quickly.
Chen Shaoping's parents are both out-and-out farmers. In their simple and kind hearts, they have a natural fear of officials.
Not to mention going to see the county magistrate's secretary's office, even if they were allowed to walk through the gate of the county government, they would still feel uneasy.
Chen Shaoping understood their thoughts, and precisely because he understood their thoughts, he was more determined to take them in to have a look.
Chen Shaoping took his mother's hand and said, "Let's go and have a look. You are going to see your son's office. What are you afraid of when meeting other leaders?"
"That's right! We are going to my brother's office, there is nothing to be afraid of!" said his younger brother Chen Shaoan with great excitement.
The 23-year-old younger brother Chen Shaoan was not born to study. After graduating from junior high school, he helped with farming at home.
Chen Shaoping walked into the county government with his parents and younger brother. It was around one o'clock at noon and it was lunch break. The county government was very quiet, and almost all offices were closed.
"Oh, why does the county government look like a large parking lot..."
Chen Zhongshi looked left and right, but saw no one, only densely parked cars, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Now there is almost one per person, so there are naturally more cars!" Chen Shaoping said.
I took my parents to the government office building. As soon as I reached the stairs, I happened to meet the deputy director He Yanlai coming down from the stairs. When I saw Chen Shaoping, I immediately greeted him with a smile: "Shaoping, how come you are resurrected with full health so quickly? What on earth is it?" Young man!"
"Director He, you defeated me once, and I will never dare to show off in front of you again!" Chen Shaoping replied with a smile.
"Shaoping, who are these?" He Yanlai looked at Chen Shaoping's parents with a smile and asked.
"My parents and a younger brother..." Chen Shaoping answered.
"Dad, mom, brother, this is my leader, Director He!" Chen Shaoping hurriedly introduced He Yan to his family.
He Yanlai immediately stretched out his hand to shake hands with the three of them, and then said: "Shaoping, your leader is the county magistrate. I, a small deputy director, dare not say that I am your leader!"
After He Yanlai left, Chen Zhongshi couldn't help but sigh: "The leaders of the county government are still of good quality. They speak well and are warm to people..."
Chen Shaoping took the three of them directly to the third floor and opened the door of his office.
"This is my office, how about it?" Chen Shaoping said proudly.
Chen Zhongshi looked around, stretched out his hand to touch the leather sofa, sat on it boldly, and asked, "You are the only one working in an office as big as Shaoping?"
"Yes!" Chen Shaoping pointed to the opposite side and said, "My office is nothing, the county magistrate's office is the big one!"
After hearing this, Li Yufang hurriedly said to Chen Shaoping: "Shaoping, you don't dare to compete with the county magistrate..."
Chen Shaoping nodded, opened the door of the inner room again, and said to his parents: "Look, there is a sleeping room with a bathroom inside!"
Chen Zhongshi and Li Yufang walked over and nodded when they saw the bed, wardrobe and bathroom inside.
"Shaoping, the country has created such good conditions for you, you must work hard and serve the motherland well..."
Li Yufang said earnestly. It could be seen that there was joy and excitement on her face.
Chen Shaoping is her eldest son and her most beloved child. Now that her most beloved son is promising, she is the proudest mother.
However, she has a reserved character and keeps all her joy deep in her heart.
"Brother, can this bathroom be used? I want to go to the bathroom..." asked my younger brother Chen Shaoan.
"It can be used, go up, go up..." Chen Shaoping waved his hand and said.
Chen Shaoan firmly made a large size on the toilet inside.
During this period, Chen Shaoping also took out the key to the county magistrate's office and proposed to take the two elders to visit the county magistrate's office.
This time, the two elders' opinions were surprisingly unanimous, and they refused to say anything.
"Shaoping, you are my son. It's okay for me to come and see your office, but who is the county magistrate? Can we see his office?"
Mother Li Yufang said seriously.
"That's right..." Chen Zhongshi lit another cigarette. His fingers holding the cigarette were trembling and he said, "Your office scared me. I don't dare to look at the county magistrate's office anymore..." "
Chen Shaoping stopped insisting and went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water for his two elders. They talked together. At about two o'clock, Zhang Junming called, and then they drove directly to the county government to pick up Chen Shaoping's parents.
"Son, you have such a good opportunity today because of God's blessing and the appearance of Bodhisattva. You must cherish it, work hard, and never make mistakes..."
Mother Li Yufang is a typical rural woman, kind and superstitious.
"Mom, I understand. You and Dad should take care of yourselves at home and don't work too hard..."
Chen Shaoping warned his mother and watched them get into the jeep driven by Zhang Junming and leave the county government.
