Hearing someone calling him, Xu Jianguo turned around and found that it was Lin Xiangdong, the director of the County Public Security Bureau. Next to him was a woman and a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old.
"Director Lin?" Xu Jianguo called out with a smile.
"Why call me Director Lin? Just call me uncle outside!" Lin Xiangdong said.
"Okay, Uncle Lin."
"Jianguo, let me introduce you. This is my wife. You can call her aunt or uncle. This is my son Lin Zhan."
"Hello, auntie, hello, brother Lin Zhan, this is my sister Funiu." Xu Jianguo greeted the two of them and introduced Funiu to them.
"Hello uncle, hello aunt, hello brother." Funiu called out in a baby voice.
"Good, this girl is so pretty!" Lin Xiangdong's wife said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp "pop" sound.
Lin Xiangdong slapped Lin Zhan on the back of the head and said, "Are you mute?"
Lin Zhan touched his head, curled his lips, and said, "Hello, Brother Jianguo, hello, Sister Funiao."
"Hello, let me treat you to some candy!" Xu Jianguo said, then took out two pieces of fruit candy from his pocket, handed one to Lin Zhan, and put the other in Funiu's hand.
"Thank you, Brother Jianguo."
"You're welcome!"
Just as they were talking, the door of the post office was opened from the inside, and the work bell rang.
"Jianguo, how have you been recently? When will you come to the county bureau to help me?" Lin Xiangdong asked.
"I'm still the same. I can't go to the county bureau for the time being, but if you need my help, I will definitely do my best to help you." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"You, uncle really needs to say something to you. You have such great abilities, why do you insist on staying in the mountains? Wouldn't it be good to come out and contribute to the country?" Lin Xiangdong and Xu Jianguo said as they walked into the post office, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"Uncle, I am also contributing to the country now. Besides, I won't stay in the village forever. When Funiu grows up a little, I have to consider her schooling." Xu Jianguo said.
Lin Xiangdong thought Xu Jianguo was referring to farming in the village when he was talking about contributing to the country, so he continued, "I don't deny that farming is contributing to the country, but you clearly have greater abilities and can make greater contributions. Why do you insist on burying your talents?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Xu Jianguo quickly took out his work ID and showed it to him, saying, "Uncle, I'm not talking about farming. You'll know after looking at this."
Lin Xiangdong stopped, took the work ID and opened it to look at it, but after just one glance, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Jian...Jianguo, is this true or false? I tell you, you must never do anything illegal. Impersonating a state agency employee is a serious crime." Lin Xiangdong said in a serious tone.
Seeing his nervous expression, Xu Jianguo said with a bit of a smile: "Uncle, how could I possibly do such a thing? I am really an employee of the National Compilation and Translation Bureau now, and I get a salary. I came to the post office today to collect my manuscript fee."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, just come with me later."
"Okay, I'll go with you and take a look. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy. Don't blame me. I'm really afraid that you'll make a mistake." Lin Xiangdong returned the work permit to Xu Jianguo and spoke, his tone softened a lot.
"How could that be? I know you're doing this for my own good."
Several people came to the counter. Xu Jianguo took out the remittance slip from his pocket and handed it to the staff along with his work ID. He said, "Hello, comrade, I'm here to withdraw money."
The staff member looked at Xu Jianguo's young face, took the documents and remittance slip he handed over with half belief and half doubt, opened them and took a look, the look of surprise on his face became even stronger, and he said, "Comrade, please wait a moment!" After that, he left the counter and hurried to an office not far away.
A moment later, a man in his forties came over with the staff member.
"Young comrade, is this work permit yours?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, it's mine. Is there any problem?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Well, we need to verify your identity with your superiors, so please wait a moment."
"Okay, how long will it take?"
"It won't take too long. I need to report to my superiors, and they will call your unit to verify. Once they confirm that everything is correct, we can process the withdrawal for you." said the middle-aged man.
"OK!"
At this time, Lin Xiangdong said to Xu Jianguo: "Look, I just don't believe it. No normal person would believe it."
Xu Jianguo touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Uncle, haven't you heard the saying, 'A man of ambition is not old, and a man without ambition is a hundred years old.' This is New Longxia, you can't look down on people with old eyes."
"Go away, stop quibbling with me. So far, you are still a suspect!" Lin Xiangdong said indifferently, but Shi Meilin, who was standing next to him, had her eyes lit up and looked at Xu Jianguo with some admiration.
Shi Meilin is a teacher at Fu'an County Middle School. She had just been transferred from the administrative office. Her parents were both educators, so she could be said to come from a scholarly family. Originally, she didn't care about Xu Jianguo, thinking he was just the child of her husband's friend. But it wasn't until Xu Jianguo took out his work ID from the National Compilation and Translation Bureau and heard him say, "Ambition is not about age," that her interest was completely aroused.
Shi Meilin couldn't imagine why there would be such an outstanding young man in this small county town of Fu'an.
