It was a notice issued by the Human Resources Bureau, Huangyuan County Civil Service Admission Notice. It said:
Comrade Xiuyuan: According to the XX Law, after passing the examination, physical examination and investigation, you have been hired as a civil servant. Please report to the Huangyuan County People's Government Office on May 11, 2005.
Then there is just the official seal of the Huangyuan County Human Resources Bureau and the date below.
But even with just these few simple words, Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe read it over and over again, until their eyes turned red. Only then did they carefully return the report to their son, Zhang Xiuyuan.
"Dad, Mom, why do you look like you're about to cry?" Xiuyuan asked jokingly.
Jianguo scolded with a smirk, "You little brat, you're teasing your dad. What are you crying about? It's just the strong wind and sand that's making your eyes squint. Dad's washing the vegetables and getting ready to cook. Let's have a couple of drinks tonight."
After saying that, Jianguo stood up and went into the kitchen.
His mother Zhang Qiuhe also followed him into the kitchen. The couple talked and chatted in the kitchen. From time to time, bursts of hearty laughter could be heard. His father Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the living room, also laughed.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. Xiuyuan got up and opened the door. It was his sister's family. His sister Qingqing was holding her little niece, and her brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao was holding his eldest nephew with one hand and holding a few gifts in the other.
"Sister, brother-in-law, come in quickly. You're just here, why are you still taking things? This is too polite." Xiuyuan said, reaching out to rub his eldest nephew's head.
The boy's name is Zhang Mingxuan. He is in the last year of kindergarten and will be going to elementary school in the fall. The little guy is very chubby.
"Uncle." Zhang Mingxuan called out in a baby voice. Uncle Xiuyuan bent down and picked him up. The little guy was quite heavy, so he put him down immediately.
At this time, the grandmother also heard the noise and came out from the kitchen. Seeing the things brought by her daughter and son-in-law, she complained that they were too polite and did not bring anything and did not spend money indiscriminately. As for the two children, when they went to school in the future, there would be more places to spend money.
My brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao is a relatively honest person. At this time, he just smiled foolishly and didn't say anything.
My brother-in-law's family lives in a central town near Huangyuan County, which is considered the richest town in the entire Huangyuan County. My brother-in-law's family does some small business and is considered to be well-off.
My sister and I were classmates in junior high school. Neither of us got into high school, so we went to a vocational high school and later got together.
"Mom and Dad, why did you call us here out of the blue? Is there something good happening?" My elder sister Qingqing was quite straightforward. After handing the child to her husband Zhang Zhihao, she followed him into the kitchen.
When Jianguo called his daughter, he did not explain clearly what happened.
"Haha, let's talk about it when we eat later." Jianguo said with a hearty smile.
Xiuyuan went to the living room to pour a cup of tea for his brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao, and then got a bottle of drink for his nephew Zhang Mingxuan.
"Thank you, uncle. I want to watch cartoons." The little guy didn't recognize it at all. He made another request after getting the drink. Uncle Xiuyuan agreed with a smile and turned on the TV for the little guy to watch cartoons.
Then I started chatting with my brother-in-law.
