Xiuyuan was not sure whether Deputy Director Luo could come back, but what he knew was that even if Deputy Director Luo came back, he would not have the same influence as before. Ordinary clerks in this system just worked there. It didn't matter. As long as you had a legitimate reason to take leave, even if it was only for a year or half a year, you could still go to work and work as usual when you came back. Don't worry, no one would take your job away.
But leadership positions are different. There is one job for each person. If you have been away for a long time, there will definitely be a power vacuum. There will always be someone to fill the position, especially for someone like Luo Yi who was taken away for investigation. Even if he comes back with nothing wrong, he will still be marginalized in the unit in the future and will basically be excluded from the core of government offices.
After the meal, everyone went home. On Sunday morning, Xiuyuan had nothing to do, so he slept in and got up at ten o'clock in the morning. After tidying up, he went to the noodle shop to help his father.
"The store isn't busy. It's not easy for you to have a weekend off. Why don't you go home and rest?" Li Jianguo said to Li Xiuyuan.
Xiuyuan shook his head: "No, I haven't come to the store to help for a long time since I started working here."
"Your mother and I can handle it." After a few words of advice, Jianguo gave up. It was almost noon and people were coming in. With Xiuyuan's help in the store, Jianguo could obviously feel much more relaxed.
During the busy lunch hour, he could hear noises coming from outside even when he went into the kitchen to cook.
"Come and get some water."
"Come get some paper."
"Clean up this table."
"I'm here, can you hurry up?"
His wife Zhang Qiuhe was busy running around outside by herself, and from time to time she had to come to the kitchen to urge him to hurry up because the customers were waiting anxiously.
But things were different after his son Xiuyuan came. Jianguo and the kitchen staff listened and realized that this was all just a greeting.
"Hey, Xiuyuan is at the store. It's really filial that you came to help out at the store even though you have a day off this weekend."
"Yeah, this is nothing like my kid. I can't find him during the holiday."
As for those odd jobs, it seemed as if they disappeared all of a sudden, and no one came to the kitchen to urge them. Jianguo was surprised. Don’t these guests today need services such as tea, table clearing, paper towels, tableware, etc.?
When Jianguo came out of the kitchen, he was stunned when he saw it. Xiuyuan was about to add tea to a neighbor in the community, and the other party quickly took it.
"Okay, Xiuyuan, you take care of this little thing, I'll take care of it." The guest took the tea and not only refilled it for himself, but also helped to refill water for the people he knew at the neighboring table. When Xiuyuan wanted to clean up after one table had finished eating, the new guest also helped.
As for napkins, cutlery and the like, everyone went out to find them themselves; no one asked Xiuyuan to serve them.
There were quite a few people sitting in the restaurant, but no one was rushing for their meal. It seemed as if no one was in a hurry, and no one came hungry.
At this moment, Jianguo had a deeper understanding of what his son Xiuyuan had said before.
"Dad, if you want to open a big restaurant, you have to wait a few more years. When I can become a county leader, you can open a big restaurant and make money. For now, this small noodle shop is the limit."
