There's no problem that Li Xiuyuan and Li Qingqing are siblings. Li Xiuyuan will indeed help Li Qingqing when she needs something, especially while his in-laws are still alive. But what about in the future?

Once Li Xiuyuan gets married, or if he goes further and further away, will we still be able to control him?

In addition, the intensity of the control is different, so I thought I would take the opportunity to connect with them.

When Li Xiuyuan returned home, his parents had already started packing. It's customary to prepare something when visiting one's in-laws. Li Xiuyuan looked at the things his parents had deliberately bought and said with a smile, "Dad, why buy anything else? I already have things at home, so I can just take these."

Last year, when I was Yun Yanchang's secretary, I received quite a few gifts during holidays. Although he didn't take a single penny, I brought back a lot of gifts, and most of them were hard currency items like cigarettes and alcohol, so there was no need to worry about them expiring.

Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo shook his head: "Keep your things for your own social interactions, so you don't have to spend money. Now that you've moved down to the lower levels, there will definitely be fewer people giving gifts, and you'll need to make more visits to different places."

Li Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised by his father's words. He raised an eyebrow and looked at his father, saying, "Dad, it seems your political awareness has improved as well. You even know this."

Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo raised his chin slightly: "Your father has at least a lifetime of life experience, how could I not understand this? You used to be a secretary to a leader in the county, so when people gave you gifts, it wasn't for you, it was for the leader. Now that you've gone to the town, you need to run to the higher-ups instead of the higher-ups running to you."

Li Xiuyuan chuckled. His father's words made a lot of sense. There was always someone running from below to above, never someone running from above to below. When his father mentioned this, he remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching.

I should prepare in advance. Actually, it doesn't matter what holiday it is. The key is to use the holiday as an opportunity to show my loyalty to my superiors.

Around 10 a.m., Li Xiuyuan drove his parents toward the central town. Zhang Qiuhe, sitting in the back seat, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Son, when we get to your town government, drive slowly. Mom wants to see where you work."

Zhang Qiuhe had no intention of going in to visit her son's workplace, after all, it was a government department, and not just anyone could go there; it wouldn't have a good impact. But she still wanted to take a look while passing by.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Mom, if you want to see it, I'll take you inside. It's Saturday today, so there aren't many people around."

He currently holds four votes at the town's Party committee meeting, so he speaks with considerable confidence.

What's wrong with your parents coming to your workplace on the weekend to take a look at your work environment? In some rural areas, the relatives of leaders even interfere in the affairs of the workplace.

"Never mind, if possible, I'll just stop the car and take a look. I always feel uncomfortable going into government offices." Zhang Qiuhe shook her head. Many ordinary people don't like dealing with government offices.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and, after arriving at the central town, stopped the car in front of the town government building, letting his parents get out and take a look.

There weren't many people at the town government building on the weekend, but when the gatekeeper, Old Huang, saw Li Xiuyuan's car, he immediately opened the gate. Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was just standing at the gate and didn't seem to be coming in, he even came over to greet him.
