Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top
chapter 24
Not long after Yang Caixia entered the bedroom, she walked out, handed a bankbook to Chen Wangyang, and said with some uneasiness:
"This is all the savings that your father and I have accumulated over the years, a total of 3 yuan, all given to you. Be careful when trading stocks. If you lose all the money as a gift to your future wife, you will lose it!"
"Don't worry, Mom, I will turn this money into 30 or 300 million!"
Chen Wangyang took the passbook, and a sense of mission emerged:
Although he couldn't even afford a larger bathroom in Qincheng City with this little money, he understood that this was really all his parents' savings for decades.
Although raising children in that era was not as expensive as it would be ten years later, and prices were also low, Chen Xianfian and Yang Caixia's incomes were even lower!
With the work of Chen Xianxian and Yang Caixia, it is really not easy to make some gray extra money.
But the couple are notoriously stubborn in the Shan'an County Public Security Bureau. Apart from their own wages and benefits, they really won't touch anything that doesn't belong to them!
Leaders of certain departments often take small steps to set up small treasury in their departments to use it to provide benefits to themselves and their subordinates.
In this way, they can get benefits themselves and win a good reputation among their subordinates. In their view, this is a win-win situation.
As the office director, Chen Xianxian never did this. This also made his few subordinates very envious of departments with more benefits, and naturally they also complained a lot about their own directors.
But Chen Xianfian didn't care about this, he still went his own way. Anyway, he had no desire to be strong and had no intention of getting promoted or getting rich. He really managed to be upright and breeze...
After hearing this, Yang Caixia and her husband looked at each other and smiled in unison. It was obvious that both of them felt that their son was bragging.
If stock trading was so easy to make money, wouldn’t everyone in the world start trading?
However, Ren Guihua firmly expressed her support for her eldest grandson and complained about her son who loves to drink:
"My eldest grandson is still ambitious. Unlike your father, he is satisfied with just a sip of wine every day. If the country hadn't stopped drinking and issued a ban on alcohol, I guess your father would have liked to have three meals a day!"
Chen Xian's old face turned red with shame, but he did not dare to refute because what he said was true.
Before the introduction of the prohibition on alcohol, Chen Xianzhen was really drunk every day. Three shows a day was a bit exaggerated, but two shows a day was commonplace. Fortunately, his drinking capacity was very good, so it did not affect his work.
The reason why he drank like this was partly due to the general environment at the time, and partly because he was full of ambitions and had nowhere to put them, and he was drinking to drown his sorrows.
One winter, Chen Xianxian went home alone after drinking too much. When the cold wind blew on his head, he lay down on the roadside and fell asleep.
If Yang Caixia hadn't been worried about going out to look for him in the middle of the night, he would have froze to death on the street.
As soon as the prohibition on alcohol was introduced, police officers were not allowed to drink on working days. Chen Xian, who strictly abided by all rules and regulations, calmed down a lot.
Only when I am on vacation after the weekend can I have a few drinks with my friend Zhou Zhengwu who is back in the county...
In this regard, Chen Wangyang is much better. Although he inherited Chen Xian's good drinking ability, he is not as addicted to alcohol as Chen Xian.
After all, drinking too much alcohol can easily harm your health and make things worse. It is really not a good habit for people in the officialdom.
Just when Chen Xianxian was feeling embarrassed, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. At the same time as the knock on the door, it was Chen Wangyang's second aunt Chen Meihua's loud voice:
"Brother and sister-in-law, open the door. Our whole family is here to see you!"
Chen Xianxian and Yang Caixia looked at each other and frowned:
They know their sister very well, and they say that she is "no beauty when she has something to do, but she welcomes spring when she has nothing to do." This is really not unfair to her at all.
This man chased him home just after we separated from Tianxiapin. He must have come up with something else, right?
As a junior, Chen Wangyang hurried over and opened the door.
Although he doesn't really like his second aunt and second uncle, who are both philistine, but for the sake of his cousin Wang Junjun, he is usually very polite to these two elders.
Outside the door, Chen Meihua and his wife, Wang Junjun, Wang Junjun's elder brother Wang Sanjiang, and younger brother Wang Sihai were all present, carrying large and small packages of gifts in their hands, all with smiles on their faces.
It's a pity that only Wang Junjun's smile comes from the heart, and the others' smiles are more like what people in later generations often call professional fake smiles.
Seeing that it was Chen Wangyang who opened the door, the smile on Chen Meihua's face became even brighter, and she said with great affection:
"Oh, my eldest nephew, you must have had a hard time entertaining so many people and drinking so much wine today, right?"
As she spoke, she raised the gift in her hand and said like a treasure:
"Auntie bought you sea cucumber, American ginseng and Neptune's golden bottle. They are all good things. They can relieve your hangover and replenish your body! Take it quickly!"
Chen Wangyang said in his heart that if you, aunt, had been nicer to me before, maybe I would believe you.
Although he did not reach out to accept the gift handed over by Chen Meihua, Chen Wangyang smiled very politely on the surface and stepped away:
"Thank you, aunt and uncle, come in quickly!"
Seeing that her nephew did not accept her gift, Chen Meihua felt a little unhappy.
But now that she was asking for help, it seemed that she was not having trouble getting angry. So she had to force a smile and enter the house with the whole family carrying gifts.
After entering the house, Chen Meihua and Wang Hailong first greeted the old lady Ren Guihua respectfully, and then greeted Chen Xianxian and Yang Caixia:
"Hello, brother, hello, sister-in-law!"
Their two sons, Wang Sanjiang and Wang Sihai, also respectfully greeted Chen Xian and his wife:
"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"
And Wang Junjun’s way of greeting is much more affectionate:
"Hi, Mom and Dad!"
She had been fostered in Chen Wangyang's home for several years when she was a child, and she had always called Chen Xian and his wife mom and dad.
Although Chen Xian and his wife didn't like to see Chen Meihua and his wife, they were not suitable for being cold-faced towards the children, so they both smiled and nodded.
Of course, the person who received the best treatment was Wang Junjun, who called her "Mom and Dad". Yang Caixia pulled her to sit down next to her very affectionately, and greeted her as if she were her own daughter...
Chen Wangyang's home was transformed from two rooms of 80 square meters into three rooms. The living room is very small and there is only one sofa.
Now that the old lady, Chen Xian, his wife, and Wang Junjun were sitting, there was no room left, and Chen Meihua's family of four could only stand awkwardly.
Seeing that his father had no intention of greeting his aunt and uncle, Chen Wangyang could only step forward again, took out a few small horses from the bedroom, and placed them in the living room:
"Auntie, uncle, sit down quickly!"
Chen Meihua looked at the little Maza in front of her and felt a little disgusted, but on the surface she immediately sat down and said with gratitude:
"Thank you, nephew!"
Chen Meihua and her family sat down one after another, but when it was uncle Wang Hailong's turn, they were a little embarrassed.
After all, Wang Hailong is 1.8 meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms. The difficulty level of the ponytail is a bit too high for him...
"This is all the savings that your father and I have accumulated over the years, a total of 3 yuan, all given to you. Be careful when trading stocks. If you lose all the money as a gift to your future wife, you will lose it!"
"Don't worry, Mom, I will turn this money into 30 or 300 million!"
