1987: Sleepless Tonight

"You don't work here, do you?" Li Jinxiang looked at his son beside him and asked.

The sub-district office is also a government unit. In Li Jinxiang's eyes, it is the place where cadres work.

Originally invited by Liu Fen, she was embarrassed to come here and refused several times, but Liu Fen still insisted on bringing them here. At that time, she wondered why the people in the city were so enthusiastic, and wondered why Liu Fen It's not that she's enthusiastic on the surface, but behind the scenes, she actually wants to coax her to the street office and then take measures.

I heard that many peasants who work in the city are under control. They cannot go to the city to work casually. If they are discovered, they will be arrested.

As a result, Liu Fen was really enthusiastic, serving tea and cigarettes, and chatting with her.

Now, following her son into the sub-district office, and seeing that the cadres of these sub-district offices treat her son so well, she somewhat understands that it must be for her son's face, that's why she is like this.

But what exactly did my son do, and what was his status, that he would receive such attention from the street office cadres, and even bring her and his man, Lu Liexing, to receive such care?

It's not the first time she and Lu Liexing have come to Jiangcheng. There was nothing like this last time. This time it's completely different.

"I'm in business, so I don't work here." Lu Hao shook his head, "It's just that the place I live now belongs to the Hanshuiqiao Sub-district Office, and Director Liu is a very enthusiastic person. In addition, Xiao Min is pregnant. Some policies can be enjoyed, and Director Liu will come to my house to promote them, and I also occasionally come to the street office, so I am so familiar with them."

From time to time, some people came and went, and some of them especially liked to inquire about gossip. Knowing that he was coming, they ran out on purpose at this moment, and stood by and watched.

You have to be careful when you speak, and you have to take into account the street office and Liu Fen's face.

He didn't say that Liu Fen, including other people, was so polite to him because he made a lot of money now and gave some advice to the street office, but said that because Liu Fen was enthusiastic and knew there was a pregnant woman at home, That's why I'm so polite.

Face is worth money, and it is not worth money.

For people without money, face is the most precious thing, but for rich people, if face can be exchanged for more money, it is worthless.

Lu Hao wanted the street to establish this connection, so he was willing to give Liu Fen and others face.

"The cadres of the street office are really in charge," Li Jinxiang said.

She really believed her son's words, thinking that the staff greeted them with smiles, so polite, just like what Lu Hao said.

Lu Hao and Li Jinxiang arrived at Liu Fen's office.

Seeing his son, all of Lu Liexing's feelings were contained in just a few words, "Come here?"

"Yes." Lu Hao nodded.

Then he looked at Liu Fen again, "Director Liu, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, it's a small matter." Liu Fen said with a smile.

She looked at Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang, "Come here often when you have time. You two have raised a good son. There are few people in Jiangcheng who can compare to Boss Lu, and he has helped the street office a lot."

"Director Liu, you're being polite. Thank you for your hospitality." Lu Liexing only thought that Liu Fen was being polite, and didn't take it seriously.

He took out a lotus leaf from the snakeskin bag on the side, which contained a lot of lotus root, and handed it to Liu Fang, "Director Liu, this lotus root is brought from home, it is still fresh, so tender very."

"No, no, this is what you brought to your daughter-in-law, I can't take it." Liu Fen waved her hand quickly.

"I still have this. Director Liu is making tea and passing cigarettes. I feel really sorry for being so enthusiastic. If you don't take this lotus root belt, how can I have the nerve to come to drink tea again?" Lu Liexing said.

"Director Liu, just take it. My dad has contracted a lake in his hometown. The area is quite large. There are a lot of lotus root strips, which are very tender and delicious." Lu Hao said, "There is a chance, Liu The director can go to have fun, take the family together, row a boat, and see the scenery of the countryside."

Hearing what Lu Hao said, Liu Fen smiled and said, "Thank you so much, I will definitely go if I have the chance."

Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang carried two snakeskin bags.

A snakeskin bag contained some fruits and vegetables grown by the family, a snakeskin bag contained chickens and ducks, and a bamboo basket of eggs.

Lu Liexing carried two snakeskin bags on a shoulder pole, and Li Jinxiang carried a bamboo basket.

The three left the Hanshuiqiao Sub-district Office.

"My car is right there, put your things in the car." Lu Hao said.

The two snakeskin bags were put into the car. Worried that the eggs would break, Li Jinxiang still carried the bamboo basket containing the eggs.

The Hanshuiqiao Sub-district Office is not far from where Lu Hao lives, and he arrived downstairs in a short while.

Get your things out of the car and go upstairs.

Li Jinxiang only sighed, "The place you live in now is indeed much better than the place you lived in before, and this building looks new."

"This is for sure. The former building of the garment factory was a dormitory for employees, mainly for employees. There are many residents living in a corridor. There is no kitchen or toilet in the room. The building we live in now can actually It can be regarded as commercial housing, and it will be sold to those in need after being built." Lu Hao said.

"The former is to meet basic needs, and the latter is mainly for higher pursuits. One is equal to the line of food and clothing, and the other is equal to the line of comfort."

The time for chatting has already reached the door.

Lu Hao opened the door.

Turned on the lights in the house.

The originally dim vision immediately brightened.

The old couple were shocked when they saw the furnishings and decoration in the house.

"The ground is so clean, don't make it dirty when you go in." Lu Liexing took his foot back just now.

He didn't forget to remind Li Jinxiang beside him.

When they came to Jiangcheng, the two even tidied up specially. Their hair was washed and their beards were shaved, and their clothes were also very decent. Their feet were not the usual liberation shoes, but leather shoes.

But after all, the road was full of wind and dust, and there was still a lot of dust and mud on the shoes.

"It's enough to stomp your feet twice." Lu Hao said, "Nini is at school, and Xiao Min is at the department store. Put the things away first. We will go to the department store later."

Lu Liexing and Li Jinxiang stomped the mud on their shoes on the doorstep, and then entered the house curiously.

Put down the things in your hands.

Lu Hao took two bottles of soda and opened them, "Drink the soda before going to the department store."

"Your life is indeed easier." Lu Liexing said after looking around for a week.

Air conditioners, refrigerators, color TV sets, these few high-end home appliances are all available, and there is also a wine cabinet.

I know my son's life is good, but I don't know it's so good.
