Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

After sending Secretary Cui and others away, Xia Shuo did not go back immediately.

He wandered around the family courtyard for a while and found a place to sit next to the green belt.

It was only around 9 o'clock in the evening, and the windows of several residents were lit, and the faint sound of TV programs could be heard coming from the windows.

In this era, few families could afford a TV set. There were only 1 families in a community at most. Whenever a TV series was played, residents in the community would move their stools to watch it.

Although this is a county town, the customs are no different from those in rural areas. There are not many barriers between neighbors, and the relationship between them is relatively harmonious.

Xia Shuo sat next to the green belt, took out his lighter and lit a cigarette for himself.

When I raised my head and exhaled the first puff of smoke, I looked towards the houses with lights on, and happened to hear bursts of exclamations, which were obviously the exclamations of people watching TV.

The program being aired recently is said to be a newly filmed TV series called "Feng Shen Bang", adapted from four famous works.

This TV series is very popular and adults like to watch it.

Children also like to watch it, but they will not follow it all the time. For example, children only watch the plot where Nezha appears, and if Nezha is not there, they immediately sneak out to play.

That's exactly what's going on right now.

I saw a small lawn not far away, where a group of children were having fun without any parents watching over them.

In the early 9s, this was very common.

No matter in the city or in the country, everyone seems to be at ease with society. Children often play outside for most of the night, without their parents or grandparents accompanying them the whole time.

It is not until the children play too late, or the parents watch the TV series, that they discover that their children have sneaked away, so the parents come out to look for them.

But he didn’t look around anxiously, he just stood in front of his house or downstairs in the community and shouted loudly...

……

Xia Shuo finished smoking a cigarette and still had no intention of returning to his residence. However, he did not continue sitting and walked towards the group of children.

From a distance, I said hello first and asked deliberately and fiercely: "It's so late, who asked you to sneak out to play? Be careful when you get home, everyone will be spanked."

Since he had lived here for 78 days, the children were no strangers to him, so they all made faces and laughed and said naughtily: "It turns out to be Uncle Xia Shuo, why didn't you accompany your beautiful little wife? And you My eldest daughter-in-law, she is also at home today."

Xia Shuo's face was stunned, and he was very shocked. Suddenly, a sign of danger appeared in his mind, so he hurriedly walked to the children.

He leaned down, stared at a child, and asked, "Who taught you this? Who said I have a wife?"

"hey-hey!"

The child winked and said triumphantly: "Do you need to teach me this? We can understand it just by looking at it. You have two daughters-in-law at home, both of them are very beautiful. The eldest daughter-in-law doesn't come often, but she gives it to you every time she comes. Cooking. My daughter-in-law is here every day, but she is too lazy and doesn’t like to cook.”

Another child squeezed over and chirped and added: "I also know, I also know, your little wife is playful and often plays with us. We call her Sister Mingyue, and she often buys us candies."

The third child squeezed over, his tone was very strong, and he scolded the other children: "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Xia Shuo only has one daughter-in-law. Have you forgotten what Sister Mingyue said? The other sister is Sister Mingyue's sister. She She is Uncle Xia Shuo's eldest sister-in-law, not Uncle Xia Shuo's eldest wife."

This child was obviously the king of children, and his desire to show off was very strong. He scolded again: "My mother also said it, your mother also said it, have you forgotten all the things the adults talked about?"

The child was making strange noises like "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,""

Seeing this scene in front of him, Xia Shuo suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

Although his mind was still buzzing, the panic in his heart gradually subsided. He now understood that these words were just childish words.

Fortunately, it was just Tong Wuji's words and not the thoughts of the residents in the community. Otherwise, once such rumors spread, it would be very detrimental to both him and Mei Yu.

He stretched out his hand, touched the child's forehead, and praised him without hesitation: "You are so smart, you are the smartest among all the children. If someone talks nonsense in the future, just teach him a lesson with what you just said, okay?" "

It was a very embarrassing thing for a child to be taken seriously by an adult. The child flushed with excitement, nodded desperately to show his ability, and kept saying: "Uncle Xia Shuo, don't worry, I'm with you."

"Me too, me too..."

The children who were chattering just now all gathered around Xia Shuo and said one after another: "We are also with Xia Shuo. We like Sister Mingyue the most."

Looking at the longing eyes of the children, how could Xia Shuo not know their thoughts, so he reached out and touched each child one by one, gently rubbing the forehead of each child.

He did not hesitate to praise: "They are all great, they are all very good! We are the same team, we are all the same team."

The children were very excited and chattered around him.

Soon he took Xia Shuo to play and told him about the magic of Nezha Naohai. Xia Shuo pretended to be surprised and showed his surprise from time to time.

Naturally, they got together and had a great time playing with each other.

Only then did I know the reason. It turned out that tonight's plot was about vixens killing people. The children didn't like watching vixens, so they all sneaked out to play downstairs.

Xia Shuo played with the children, and time passed quickly unknowingly, as if he was just playing a few games, but in fact more than an hour had passed.

The TV series upstairs is over!

Suddenly the adults shouted.

"Tiedan, Niuwa, where did you die? Go home quickly!"

"Being out in the wild all day, breaking your dog's legs."

Even for children in the county town, their nicknames are also rubbish. This is because of the times, or because of Chinese tradition. It is always believed that children should be given a bad name to make a living. It is rare for a child to have an elegant nickname.

"Tiedan, Niuwa, where did you die? Go home quickly!"

The TV series ended upstairs and the adults had already gone downstairs. The shouts in the community became louder and louder, and they were constantly trying to break the legs of their own children.

Xia Shuo had experienced this kind of voice calling home a lot when he was a child. The voice in his memory was exactly the same as before him, which made Xia Shuo feel inexplicably warm in his heart.

He saw the little kids panicking and running towards their parents in a hurry. He couldn't help but think of how he seemed to be so afraid of his parents when he was a child.

It's just that these children live in county buildings, while Xia Shuo lived in a rural mud house when he was a child, and his living conditions were different. His family was really poor when he was a child.

The TV series is over!

The adults shouted to the children to go home!

The community gradually became quiet, and the lights of each house turned on briefly and then turned off.

In this quiet and peaceful night, an impulse suddenly appeared in Xia Shuo's heart. He had been working for more than half a year, and it was time to return to his hometown to see his parents.

But, should you take Gu Mingyue back?

Also, do you want to report to Mei Yu?
