Male wife from the Republic of China

Chapter 12 Mrs. Xu's Calculation

"Isn't this the city's civilized construction this year? Although our community is full of retired old men and women, they were also important members of the government. The country needs it, so how can we hold back. In fact, our community is a total So, let a few old ladies who like to dance in the square dance to participate.

Oops, as a result, you don't know, some units are really messing around now.In order to show their faces in front of the leaders, they actually flocked to participate.How many state-owned and private administrative units are there in the entire X city?Let me tell you, at least five hundred.There's no way, the organizer can't just pick and choose to keep people from participating. In the end, they simply say that they want to hold some kind of competition. Only those who win the competition can participate in the X city party on the night of 28.

Alas, you say.This was originally a good thing to respond to D's call, but it turned out....It's not a big deal if we lose the game, but if there is no program from our unit at the party, it would be so embarrassing.I heard that in the end, the provincial leaders will be invited to come and see...

I heard from your grandma Xu that you went to the Art Academy. Let's see if you can prepare a show and go there with your grandma Gu and the others.Even if they can't be selected by then, you must be fine. "

With black lines on Wang Ze's face, he said after a while, "Grandpa Lin, you really think highly of me."

"Hey, there's no other way. In fact, the old man Kong also wants to go, and he's going to sing his Beijing opera, but what level is he? His voice is broken, and he likes to sing Farewell My Concubine. Okay. Even if he goes, and he sings King of Chu, who the hell will match him with Concubine Yu? Tsk, one more unit will allow the two shows to participate in the competition. If we let him go, wouldn't that be a waste of opportunity?"

"..."

"Xiao Wang, Grandma Xu is also optimistic about you." A voice came in from a distance, and Wang Ze knew who it was without turning his head. Xiang Quanquan. If you go up and sing a song casually, you are better than old man Kong. It will definitely make our No.

"Yes, yes, yes." Old man Lin agreed. "Young people are energetic, and we old people can't compare to this alone."

Wang Ze lowered his eyelids, feeling depressed, when will he have trouble with this old lady, why does this person always have trouble with him?Although he didn't spend much time here, he also knew that in the entire community, only Old Man Kong held the highest official position.What the hell, this is trying to frame him to offend people.

"Xiao Wang, you just agree, you are the only hope for our community." Mrs. Xu continued to bewitch.

Old man Lin continued to nod.

Wang Ze pretended to be helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Lin, it's not that I don't want to help you. You think the game will start soon, right? I don't have time to prepare at all! And I'm planning to use the winter vacation I can work a child's job in my spare time to earn some living expenses. You know, I'm the only one in my family..."

"You last year..." Mrs. Xu just wanted to say, 'You stayed at home for a month last year', but was interrupted by old man Lin: "Then you should participate even more. Let me tell you, this competition is due to the There are many levels of units in all aspects of the city. In order to reward everyone for their active participation, the relevant departments have specially allocated funds to set up awards.

The first prize is high. There is 10 yuan. If you can get it, your tuition fees for the next and next year will be covered.The second prize is 1000, which is a lot.The third prize seems to be [-].As for other awards, it seems that there are only [-] yuan.Let's not talk about anything else, as long as you are in the top three, you can earn a lot more than working part-time.

Also, look at the weather, it's going to snow soon.For a part-time job that doesn't run around, how can you stay at home to practice skills and get money easily? "

Wang Ze: Sure enough, he used to work in the Propaganda Department, so he really has a thorough understanding of young people.

Mrs. Xu's complexion was a little bad, she looked at old man Lin: "Is there any reward?"

Old man Lin said: "Of course there is an award, otherwise how can it reflect the country's emphasis on creative writing. Let me tell you, this award will be awarded after the competition. After the party, the city leaders will be invited to issue honorary certificates and It's a trophy. It's glorious. Otherwise, you think Old Man Kong is so active."

Mrs. Xu frowned: "Then, this is an activity of the unit, and this award should not belong to everyone?"

Old man Lin glared: "How can this belong to everyone? Of course, whoever participates belongs to whom, but the trophy and certificate of honor must be placed in our community office in the end. Do you have any objections to this little Wang?"

Wang Ze ̄□ ̄||: I didn’t even agree! ...Of course, if you can get the top three, as long as you can get the money, the rest really doesn't matter.

Mrs. Xu murmured: "No wonder Gu Xinhua is so active. It turns out..."

"Then it's settled. Prepare yourself. Time is a little tight. Today is the 23th of the twelfth lunar month. The competition will start on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. The finals will be shown on TV at that time. Our September [-]st organ family courtyard Glory is up to you. Well, I think of one thing, you should do it first." Old man Lin turned around and left without giving Wang Ze the slightest chance to refuse.

Mrs. Xu saw old man Lin leave, and hurried to catch up.Wang Ze heard the old lady say from a distance: "Director Lin, this is not good, why should we give him the glory of our community. If he wins the award, everyone must share it equally."

"Okay, you go to participate." Old man Lin said loudly.

Mrs. Xu suddenly became anxious: "I am an old lady with old arms and legs, so I have to be watched by someone?"

Old man Lin stood still and said, "Then what are you talking about? Xu Lanying, let me tell you, don't mess around with me, I won't follow your example. Old man Kong has already said before, if you have an accident in our community again Once, your whole family got out. Why do you think old man Kong is going to sing an opera? It’s not that no one in our community wants to go. If you mess with me or something, in the end Xiao Wang doesn’t want to go, no matter it’s your reason or not. This Every time I asked Old Man Kong to find someone to invite your family out."

Oh……

Wang Ze was stunned. He said why Mrs. Xu's IQ suddenly improved, and she could calculate so methodically.It turned out that they originally wanted to plot against old man Kong.Deliberately wanting the former director of Kong to not be able to participate in the competition, to save the opponent's face.It happened that I offended her old man again, and the old man used the waste directly.

"However, Farewell My Concubine!" Wang Ze curled his lips. "It's been a long time since I sang."

04: 30.

After cleaning and scrubbing, fumigation of medicinal materials, and ventilation, Wang Ze returned all the things that had been dried out to their original positions one by one.The windows were then closed, leaving only a small window ajar for ventilation.Then turn on the heat.

In the entire city of X, only government agencies and a small number of public institutions have heating benefits. Whether it is other units or private households, they either install air conditioners themselves, or they live in the cold.However, the winter in City X, although not as cold as in Longcheng and the north of Longcheng, is more than ten degrees below zero, tens of degrees.But winter is either cold or damp. When the sun is out, unless you lie under the quilt, it is simply torture.

In the memories Wang Ze inherited, when he was a child without air conditioners or electric ovens, he used tree roots to burn braziers to keep warm.As he is now, he only needs 100 yuan a year (20 yuan for veteran cadres) to keep him warm throughout the winter.

While the heating was heating up the house, Wang Ze stewed the lamb ribs he bought at the vegetable market at noon, and prepared to have a meal of stewed lamb ribs with carrots and rice in the evening.

He doesn't like too light, nor does he like too much meat. When conditions permit, he prefers to prepare some nourishing and nourishing medicinal materials, and cook medicinal meals to warm and nourish the body.Like today's seemingly ordinary stewed lamb chops with carrots, it is based on medicinal food.

After finishing the pre-seasoning work, Wang Ze poured the lamb chops into a clay pot filled with golden concoction and put them in a coal basket to simmer slowly.Because the house was closed, he deliberately took the stove into the garden.

The lamb ribs need to be stewed for an hour. During this period, Wang Ze took his mobile phone and wallet and went out to buy some daily necessities at Jiuding International next door to the community.

Before 2011, the September 600st organ compound belonged to the edge of City X. Across the road from it was a botanical garden with an area of ​​2011 million square meters that separated the city from the suburbs, as well as large and small messy buildings. processing plant.But since the end of [-], Jiuding International signed a development agreement with the X city government.

This ancient city, which seems to have been forgotten by the entire developing Dragon Kingdom, came alive together with this dormant institution compound.

Now, less than 1000 meters to the right of the government compound, crossing a road, you will find Jiuding Square with millions of square meters, Jiuding Stadium, Jiuding Science and Technology Exhibition Hall, and after that, Jiuding International Building Area covering an area of ​​millions of square meters , such as Jiuding International Hotel, Kyushu Shopping Center, Vientiane Commercial Street, Vientiane Office Building, Macro Supermarket, high-end Linjiang residential area and so on.

As for the adjacent Jiuyi Organ Compound, there are several street-facing buildings blocking it on the opposite side, forming a quiet environment amidst the hustle and bustle.

Wang Ze crossed the zebra crossing, walked along the edge of Jiuding Square and the road, walked through the square grove, Jiuding International Hotel, Vientiane office building, and arrived at Jiuzhou Shopping Mall.As for the Macro International Supermarket he was going to, it was on the first floor of the shopping mall.

The shopping mall on a cloudy day is similar to the night, and it is resplendent and brilliant under the decoration of various lights.

Probably because the New Year is coming soon, the toughened glass walls of every store in the mall are pasted with festive red paper-cuts, red lanterns and so on.

At the corner of the shopping mall not far from the entrance of the supermarket, there seemed to be some kind of activity again today. There were many couplets hanging from the dome, and many people gathered there.The applause and applause continued.

Wang Ze's time was limited, so he didn't go to watch the excitement, and went directly to the elevator to the supermarket.

"...that kid is really good, he is nine years old. Tsk tsk tsk, Gai'er will enroll our two children in a brush calligraphy training class." On the elevator, a young father said to a young mother.

The young mother pursed her lips: "Come on, your son and daughter don't have that talent at all. They write like dogs crawling, just like you."

"Well, art cells also need to be cultivated. If you don't cultivate them, you will always be a dog. Maybe you can cultivate them..."

"Isn't it just a few hundred dollars, I see you are envious."

"Do I care about the hundreds of dollars? I care about the glory. If my son writes well and wins an award, people will say, don't you just look at it, this is the father of so-and-so, the son of so-and-so The calligraphy is well written, and it looks like it's from a scholarly family."

"Pfft, see if you can."

Writing calligraphy to make money?Wang Ze blinked his eyes. He is very short of money now, so he is very concerned about things that can make money, no matter what it is.
