weekend.
After finishing his work in the village, Zhao Jie returned to his home in the county town.
He is not married yet and lives with his parents.
His father, Zhao Yicheng, is an old cadre who retired as a fourth-level researcher.
His mother Cheng Caiyun is also a retired employee of the County Finance Bureau.
Zhao Jie also has an older sister who is now taking over his mother's job and also works at the Finance Bureau.
His brother-in-law is a member of the town committee and deputy mayor of Tuanjie Town, Shannan County.
It can be said that their family is a genuine cadre family, and Zhao Jie is a true cadre's son.
Although he grew up in an economically underdeveloped county town, Zhao Jie, when he was young, enjoyed a material life that was incomparable to that of his peers.
When other kids were still wearing cloth shoes that cost a few yuan a pair, he was already wearing brand-name sneakers. When other kids were dreaming of riding motorcycles, he was already riding in cars. Although cars at that time are worthless now, there were only a few in the entire county at that time...
When Zhao Jie dropped out of junior high school, his sister used her connections to get a job and earned a stable salary every month. She also worked in a specific position and made a lot of extra money... Because she was nine years older than Zhao Jie, she doted on him very much and could always satisfy him regardless of what he wanted.
In short, when it comes to material life, his family has never disappointed Zhao Jie. What he has enjoyed is definitely out of reach for many children from ordinary families.
After Zhao Yicheng retired, he basically stopped asking about government affairs. Apart from the occasional visits from his former colleagues and subordinates to chat and drink tea, he rarely socialized.
In his own words, "After running all my life, it's time to take a break." So he is enjoying his retirement life now.
Take a walk in the morning, drink tea in the afternoon, watch TV series in the evening...Life is rich, without any pressure, and very contented.
If there is anything that worries him now, it is Zhao Jie's marriage and his work.
Because of his good family background, many prominent figures in the county introduced Zhao Jie to potential partners.
According to the laws of nature, if you meet many people, there will always be one who is suitable...
But the strange thing is that every time someone introduced a partner to Zhao Jie, he would refuse. He would also actively meet the partner and have a good chat after meeting them. However, each relationship would not last long and always ended in failure.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people introduced him to girls. It was not because he was old, but because he had dated so many girls but none of them worked out. Everyone suspected that he was either sick or was just being a hooligan under the guise of dating...
Later, old man Zhao Yicheng was also worried about whether Zhao Jie had some problems, so he asked him worriedly, "Xiao Jie, did you have any reaction when you woke up in the morning?"
Zhao Jie was stunned, and immediately understood the old man's concerns, so he smiled and said, "Dad, I was a soldier, and I have excellent physical fitness. I have to set up the tent seven or eight times every night, and I can wake up in the morning."
"Oh~" The old man let out a long sigh, thinking that as long as there is no problem in that aspect, he can talk to as many girls as he wants. It is a waste of one's youth if he does not indulge in romance.
But he still reprimanded him twice in a serious manner. Zhao Yicheng said with a stern face, "You are not a child anymore. You have had enough fun, right? It's time to find a suitable partner to get married... Your mother and I are retired and have nothing to do at home. We can help you take care of the children. If we wait a few more years and our health is not good, we will have difficulty taking care of ourselves and we will not be able to help you..."
Although Zhao Jie is naughty, he still listens to his parents and never refutes them. He can also understand the hardships and difficulties of the older generation, so he has made up his mind many times to find a good partner so that his parents can have grandchildren as soon as possible.
But things don't go as planned, and I can't always find the right...
It's not that he has high standards, because he always likes to compare the girls he goes on blind dates with the girl he has in mind, and once the comparison is made, he completely loses interest.
As his reputation as a "playboy" became more and more famous, fewer and fewer people took the initiative to introduce him to a partner, so the plan of finding a partner and getting married had to be put on hold for the time being.
Zhao Yicheng was also helpless, but he believed in fate, and he always comforted himself by saying, "Let it be, sometimes destiny will eventually give you what you want..." However, this comfort meant that there was no news for more than a year.
If marriage doesn’t work out, then focus on your career first.
The father and son had the same idea on this point. Zhao Yicheng also encouraged Zhao Jie to make further progress in his position, and also provided firm support in terms of finances and connections.
When they got home, the first words the father and son said when they met.
Zhao Yicheng asked Zhao Jie, "Does your township's Secretary Li Lin have that money? Why didn't you mention it later?"
Zhao Jie was changing his shoes at the door. When he heard what Zhao Yicheng said, he didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he had to slow down the pace of changing his shoes to delay time.
Zhao Yicheng didn't rush to ask, and sipped his tea leisurely. It wasn't until Zhao Jie changed his shoes and walked into the living room that he asked, "Did he confiscate the money? Where is the money now?"
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Zhao Yicheng knows his son's temper very well. As long as he dodges and dares not to face the questions you ask him, then this matter will definitely not succeed!
Zhao Jie quickly changed the subject and said with a chuckle, "Dad, you have some tea first. I have some work to do in the village. I'll go back to the house..."
"Stop!" Zhao Yicheng frowned slightly, with the dignity of the former head of the county bureau, and scolded, "What's wrong with you? Are you a man? Tell me what's the problem. Even if you really spend the money, can I beat you up? How did you deal with it in the end? Tell me!"
