I never mentioned what happened to my relatives to anyone again, but now I couldn't help it in front of my grandfather's family.
It turned out that all this was bragging, saying that he knew a certain leader and had dinner with someone, but now it is true. His nephew, even if he is a nephew by marriage, is still a nephew.
Calling yourself uncle.
Everyone stared at the news broadcast on TV.
"Yun Yanchang, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and County Mayor, spoke cordially with the medical staff and highly praised their hard work and selfless dedication over the past year. The medical staff in these departments bear enormous pressure in their daily work, especially during holidays, and they safeguard the health of the vast number of patients with a spirit of selfless dedication..."
The news didn't take up too long, but it was of great significance to the people walking in the private room.
At that time, there was no self-media in the small county town, and not everyone could appear in front of the camera and be seen by others. If it could be on the news, it would be a big deal.
Song Liming even knew a friend who drove a coal truck. He was investigated in the provincial capital and happened to meet a reporter at that time. In fact, if this were put on TV, it would be a complete negative educational story.
Wang Moumou was driving illegally, and even the footage was blurred.
As a result, this friend would start bragging whenever he drank too much, saying that he had also been on the provincial TV station. No matter what he did, just tell him whether he had been on the provincial TV station.
You can imagine what it means to ordinary people to be on TV.
"So-and-so is on TV." Just one sentence like that means it's big news, no matter whether it's good news or bad news.
Now they were having dinner in a private room, and the TV was broadcasting the news about Xiuyuan accompanying the leaders on their Spring Festival visit to the grassroots level, although he was only a supporting role in the news, not even a supporting role.
Yun Yanchang was the protagonist, the medical staff were supporting roles, and Yu Xiuyuan was just a passerby, but it also appeared on the county TV station.
"Jianguo, Qiuhe, let me toast you. Xiuyuan has really made it." Song Liming picked up the wine glass and said to Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe.
Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe were also very excited. They didn't know much about Zhang Xiuyuan's work. A while ago, when Zhang Xiuyuan helped to take their grandson Zhang Mingxuan to school, he made a phone call to the director of the Education Bureau, which shocked them.
But they think that it is more impressive if it can be shown on TV and appear in the news.
Although he was happy in his heart, Jianguo still said modestly: "Brother-in-law, what's the point of being unsuccessful? You're busy all day long. Look, there's no one around on New Year's Eve."
"Jianguo, what you said is not right. Only those who have power and are in charge are busy. Only those who have no ability have time. Look at Yangyang. He has worked in this gas company for so many years, but he still has to do hard labor, whether it is maintenance here or digging ditches there. He can accompany me during the Chinese New Year, and he is also diligent when he comes home on weekdays.
But what's the point? I'd rather he didn't see anyone all day long. The point is, he doesn't have that much to do..."
As Song Liming spoke, Song Yang smiled bitterly with some helplessness. Aren't most people like this?
"No, Yangyang, I think he's pretty good." Jianguo said, but he couldn't help but think of what the young man named Huang Wei said last night, "Be lazy about trivial matters, and be diligent about big things."
Song Limin didn't dwell on the topic of his own children. Instead, he spoke enthusiastically, "Jianguo, let me tell you, to determine whether a person has power and status, you just look at how busy they are outside of their eight-hour workday. The busier they are outside of that, the more dinners they attend, and the more work they do, the more power they have. Someone like Xiuyuan, who was so busy he couldn't even come home on New Year's Eve, shows he's deeply trusted by his superiors!"
