Director Liu was so stunned by the two calligraphy strips spread out on the sheet that he forgot to greet Grandma.
After a long while, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the signature carefully again.
After confirming that he was not seeing things, Director Liu sucked in a breath of cold air with a hiss.
After this, who would dare to mess with Zhang Xudong's family?
Not to mention his own abilities and mysterious work, who else in the whole county and the whole region can be more red and expert than him?
Director Liu thought for a long time before he calmed down and said:
"Dongzi, you guys are getting more and more powerful!
Compared to you, I have really lived in vain for these decades.
What earth-shattering things did you do to make the leader praise you so quickly?
You have brought great honor to our county!
No, I have to report this to the county leaders right away. They need to know about this, too." Director Liu said, turning to leave.
Zhang Xudong quickly stopped him. Okay, if this gets out, how can the house be peaceful anymore?
"Uncle Liu, my dear uncle. You can't do this. If this gets out, how will our family survive?"
"Dongzi, you have to say it.
For our county, this is not an ordinary matter, it is something with political educational significance.
This is the glory of our county, and you are also the glory of our county.
Even if I don't say it now, I can't hide it.
It’s better to let them know as soon as possible so that they can make reasonable arrangements.”
Director Liu explained to Zhang Xudong.
"Grandma, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Xudong kicked the ball to his grandmother.
Grandma thought for a moment and said, "Director Liu, what you said makes sense.
But you see, we only have a few rooms in our house, so it wouldn't be appropriate to hang it anywhere.
Too many people coming here makes our lives inconvenient and makes the guests uncomfortable.
I mean, you should report to your boss, but forget about the others!"
"Auntie, I will report this situation to the leaders. The county will definitely have a reliable solution.
Auntie, think about it, the more people know about this, the better it will be for your Dongzi and his three children!" Director Liu advised.
“Old Shanjia, what Director Liu said makes sense.
Wearing fine clothes at night is not suitable for any situation.
What is revealed is not your money and wealth;
This is your credit, your honor, and the height of your thinking.
So there is no need to hide it, which would make us look stingy. We should just show it openly.
Even if someone wants to do something bad to your family in the future, he will have to think carefully before doing so."
The old Taoist stood at the door and said.
When Director Liu saw the Taoist priest, he quickly greeted him.
"Director Liu, Dongzi borrowed a truck from you.
For some reasons you stayed in Tibet, and I have asked someone to allocate a new car for you.
Don't bother yourself with the money to buy a car. I heard you've started borrowing money from colleagues and comrades."
The old Taoist said to Director Liu with a smile.
Director Liu said embarrassedly after hearing this:
"I figured Dongzi would have to travel four or five thousand miles, and the road would be difficult to travel.
It’s not known whether the old car can get to the destination, let alone come back.
But no matter how old the car is, it is public property.
I was thinking of gathering the money to compensate for it first.
Who knew the Taoist priest was so well-informed? You would have known about it before the money was even collected.”
"Uncle Liu, even if you scrape together enough money and use your salary to pay it back, can you still pay it back if you don't eat or drink for ten years?"
Zhang Xudong said with emotion after hearing this.
"If you can't pay it back, just pay it back slowly. Why should I urge all of you, old and young, to pay back the money?
I'll be relieved if you can come back safely.
Now, the problem has been solved by the Taoist priest.
We don't have to worry about it anymore, this matter is over." Director Liu said with a smile.
"Director Liu, I, an old woman, thank you in advance.
I know you mean well and are afraid that you will cause trouble for me, an old woman.
You can't do things secretly like this anymore. After all, I, an old woman, have some ideas when I encounter problems."
"Dongzi, is this car lost for business or personal reasons?
If it's a personal matter, we can't let the country suffer. We'll find a way to compensate ourselves."
When the old Taoist heard this, he quickly explained:
“Don’t worry, old lady, this car is reserved for the Tibetan team, it’s not gone.
Besides, the two of them couldn't bring the car back because they were working for the country.
The merits they have accomplished are worth much more than that broken car.
We can't disclose the specifics, but please rest assured that the country will not suffer any loss."
After hearing the Taoist's words, the old lady looked at Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian again.
Seeing that they both nodded, I stopped talking about the car.
Director Liu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "We were discussing the calligraphy issue, how did it get on a crooked car?"
Zhang Xudong thought for a moment and said:
"Uncle Liu, don't say anything. We will remember your kindness. Please report to the leader.
But I am thinking of building two more rooms facing the street specifically to hang my calligraphy.
Open two more doors on the street so that people can admire this calligraphy masterpiece without entering the house.
So, leaders, please wait until the house is built before making this public, is that okay with you?"
Director Liu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, your method is good. I'll go report it to the leader now."
