Comrade Wang Jianguo expressed his opinion: "What kind of gift should you give a penis during the Dragon Boat Festival? It doesn't matter whether it is a festival or not. All the bells and whistles are just a waste of money."

Wang Zixu apologized to Mr. Qu Yuan behind his back. When he turned around, he saw Comrade Wang Jianguo walking out fifty meters away with cigarettes and wine, and got lost in front of his own house.

From the Banpo basement next door, a powerful voice floated out:

"Old Wang! What good things are you carrying?"

Wang Jianguo raised his head and said, "How did you know that my son came to see me and brought me two bottles of Chinese wine?"

The voice said: "Doesn't that mean we are going to have a big drink at noon today?"

Wang Jianguo shouted: "Together!"

The voice said: "Okay! I've packed the cold dishes!"

Wang Zixu covered his face in pain from behind.

He forgot that Comrade Jianguo was an extremely hot-tempered character. If he brought his friends to eat with him at noon, it would be difficult for him to talk about the signature at the dinner table.

When his father came back with cigarettes and wine, Wang Zixu made an insinuation: "I plan to have a meal at your place for three people. Is the food okay?"

Wang Jianguo waved his hand: "Just enough wine and food! What are you afraid of? I can still make you hungry when you come here?"

Wang Zixu had a headache and whispered: "I originally wanted to come and talk to you about something."

Comrade Wang Jianguo also lowered his voice and said: "Lao Zhang is not an outsider. He has done things with me."

Wang Zixu wanted to say something else, but Comrade Jianguo became anxious. He told him to shut up by talking about genitals, and went into the house with cigarettes and wine.

He had no choice but to follow her into the house.

Comrade Jianguo is in his early fifties, and is far from retirement age. However, since his wife ran away and he was laid off, he has never worked for more than two months since then.

Fortunately, Wang Zixu's grandfather is more capable. The old man's monthly retirement salary is several thousand, so Jianguo has been supported by the old man intermittently. He occasionally works up the energy to do some odd jobs, but he can't do it for long.

Grandpa Wang Zixu's partial support for his eldest son has caused some dissatisfaction among his brothers and sisters, and there seems to have been conflicts. But that was a matter of the previous generation, and Wang Zixu had no control over it, and he didn't want to know about it.

Lao Wang said he wanted to show off his skills to Xiao Wang and prepare some dishes. Wang Zixu stayed in the basement for a few minutes, covered in sweat, and immediately understood why Lao Wang was shirtless in the early morning.

He asked Lao Wang why he didn't turn on the air conditioner, but Lao Wang didn't answer. He rummaged through the cabinets and found the remote control, only to find that the air conditioner was broken.

After Lao Wang brought the food to the table, Wang Zixu mentioned the air conditioner again, and Lao Wang said: "It's been broken for two months! It broke right after winter. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Wang Zixu said: "If it breaks, tell me and I will ask the landlord to repair it."

Lao Wang said: "I told the landlord that I got into a quarrel with him for some reason and let it go."

Wang Zixu felt a headache again, but when he thought about the contract, his headache stopped: "Forget about buying an apartment."

Lao Wang stared at him, and Wang Zixu said: "I have saved up to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in provident fund, and I can't take it out even if I put it in, so why not buy a house?"

Lao Wang continued to stare at him: "You are stupid. Everyone knows that the property market bubble is about to burst. What kind of house are you buying now?"

Wang Zixu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who did you listen to? How can the average price of six or seven thousand in Xihe be reduced to that?"

Lao Wang said: "It will definitely collapse anyway."

At this time, Lao Zhang from next door came in with cold dishes and said, "Come on, come on, what kind of wine are you bringing?"

My father came up to me and said, "Daohua Fragrance Vitality. All their civil servants drink this grade."

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "It's good to have a son who is a civil servant. This small class will keep rising."

My father sat down and said carelessly: "Old Zhang, please don't use the official reception standard?"

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "When will Xiao Wang be promoted to director, so that I can enjoy being received by the director?"

My father said: "He was promoted to director. What kind of director do you accept?"

"Haven't you heard? As for the department, department, and bureau, the department chief is the department chief's father, and the director is the department chief's father!"

Wang Zixu listened with embarrassment. He didn't know whether Lao Zhang was sincerely stabbing him or speaking out of his mind. He was not even at the department level, so didn't that mean he was a grandson in the workplace? He was everywhere.

It seems right.

Wang Zixu said: "Uncle, civil servants are all cadres of the people. They are not like feudalism, where superiors and subordinates are personally dependent. Besides, I am just a business editor, not a civil servant."

Wang Jianguo glared at him: "What's wrong with business editors? Business editors also work for the government, and I don't know how many people are trying to do it. Don't look down on business editors, do your job well."

Lao Zhang drawled: "Professional staff also eat public food, don't use bean buns as solid food!"

Wang Zixu couldn't laugh or cry: "I have always used bean bags as dry food..."

The three of them sat down. The basement was small, the folding table only reached knee height, and the stools were even shorter. The three of them sat on the small stools as if they were squatting, with their waists hunched over. Fortunately, they were all men, with their legs spread apart.

It is quite comfortable and full of the atmosphere of small citizen life.

Lao Wang opened the rice flower fragrance with a "snap", and first took a whiff of the fragrance, and then poured it into the paper cup. Lao Zhang took the paper cup and took two sips.

, praised:

“It’s worthy of a business reception.”

"That's not the case."

Lao Zhang looked at Wang Zixu: "Where did you get it? Are you reimbursed?"

Wang Zixu said: "How can I be reimbursed for this? I bought all this with my own money."

Lao Zhang said: "Then you haven't gotten ahead yet. When will you get enough to be reimbursed?"

The prince said anxiously: "No matter what I do, I won't have to eat and drink with public funds!"

Lao Zhang said: "Then you don't understand. My son has a company of his own. Every time he takes cigarettes or drinks, he has to go to the public account for reimbursement."

After saying this, he laughed mischievously, full of the treachery of a small citizen.

The prince had nothing to say in reply.

Wang Fu said: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Eat vegetables.

There was a plate of three hot and three cold peanuts on the table. While chewing, Lao Zhang stared at Zixu and pointed with his chopsticks: "Is your son married?"

The father did not answer, but turned to look at Wang Zixu and said, "By the way, how is Xiaoqian doing lately?"

Wang Zixu said: "It's not like that."

"Xiaoqian is a good girl, with a good personality and a good job." Comrade Lao Wang sighed, "You have to treat her well."

Wang Zixu said: "I have a very good relationship with her."

Lao Zhang said in a rough voice: "To find a partner, you must quickly create a fait accompli! My daughter-in-law is the one who conceived the baby first and then got married. At home, she obeys my son's words..."

Wang Zixu interrupted him, raised his glass and said, "Let's have a drink together."

"Okay, be particular."

The three of them had a drink together. After one drink, Lao Zhang and Lao Wang started to brag.

Lao Wang said that when he was in a state-owned enterprise, he was an advanced model for three consecutive years and wore a big red flower every year. He is now the boss of Hengsheng, who was his younger brother at the time. Without Comrade Lao Wang's encouragement, he would not have been able to marry the factory director's daughter, and then he

It is not possible to obtain the entire factory during corporate restructuring.

Lao Zhang said that when he was in the south, he could write letters to his family, and he could fly over eaves and walk over walls. He was known as the Jade-faced King Kong. Those comrades in arms back then are now scattered all over the country. They have big families and big businesses. Each one is more powerful than the other. When you meet him, you will be more powerful.

Honor him as the old squad leader.

The two were chatting animatedly when suddenly there was a knock on the door. The three of them looked back and saw a man wearing a red armband standing at the door, holding a booklet in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. Just now he

Just knock on the door with a pen.

"Do you three live here?"

Comrade Lao Wang raised his hand and said, "I live here alone. Comrade, what can I do for you?"

The man said: "What are the other two doing?"

"One lives next door, and the other is my son who comes to see me. My son is also in the system."

The man said with a cold face: "This is an order from the committee. This year we are going to build civilization. The whole city is a game of chess. No matter where you are, no one can live in the basement because it does not comply with fire safety regulations."

Comrade Lao Wang said: "But I have lived here for two years."

The man said: "Then you didn't meet the regulations for the first two years."

The three of them looked at each other, and the man said, "This time I just came to inform you that I will move out within a week."

Lao Wang blushed and said, "How can you move this stupid thing in a week?"

The man said: "If you are angry, don't vent your anger on me. I also follow the rules. I will just talk when I come today. Next time, the firemen will come."

Before leaving, he gave one final reminder: "Move early!"

Lao Wang looked back at Xiao Wang: "Didn't I lose my temper?"

Wang Zixu said: "I know, please stop using uncivilized language. My comrade is right, it is really not safe to live here. You can move to my place first."

Lao Wang suddenly turned red with anger: "If I don't go, I won't go. I'm making land for my son. How can I occupy my son's land?"

Wang Zixu knew that he would definitely not go. This conversation had happened countless times, so he said calmly: "Then I will find a suitable place for you to rent."

Lao Wang didn't know why he was so angry, he said if you find someone else worth three hundred and a month, I would live there.
