Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

As soon as Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai stepped into the gate, they met a middle-aged woman who was going out with a basket. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes fell on Li Weidong.

"Aunt Sun."

"It's Xiaobai who's back. Is this your date?"

"Ah."

Zhou Xiaobai nodded naturally.

The middle-aged woman in front of her was the neighbor next door to her new home. When she first moved here, she followed her parents to visit each other's house.

When the other party saw her, he became more interested and kept asking about her situation, as if he wanted to introduce her to someone.

However, she declined because she had a partner.

At this moment, the other party saw Li Weidong holding hands with her, and looked at Li Weidong with a scrutinizing look.

"Where does the young man work?"

"A place with Xiaobai."

"farm?"

"Yes."

"Come and play with Xiaobai at home when you have time."

Hearing Li Weidong's answer, although the other party didn't show anything on his face and even extended an invitation, his emotional feedback was a bit proud and even a little bit contemptuous.

After all, she had already known Zhou Xiaobai's job. Being an instructor at the Women's Farm sounded like a good job, but what was so good about a place like a farm?
How is working there, dealing with a bunch of prisoners all day long, any different from being in jail?
As long as someone has some background and some potential, who is willing to go there?

After saying that, the other party left directly.

However, when she walked out of the door, she saw a jeep parked there. Her eyes suddenly widened and her face suddenly fell.

At this time, Zhou Xiaobai had already led Li Weidong to his home.

"Dad, Mom, we're back."

"Uncle, auntie."

Because it was the weekend, Zhou Bingan was also at home. In other words, the two of them had known that Li Weidong was coming today, so they would wait at home specially even if it was not the weekend.

"We are all a family, so why bring any gifts?"

Su Peiyun couldn't help but complain.

"I didn't buy anything, just a couple of your favorite snacks."

"Then I'll keep one, and you can take the rest home to eat."

"it is good."

Li Weidong didn't say anything. After putting down what he was carrying, he followed Zhou Bing'an to the living room and sat down.

The small courtyard that the Zhou family was looking for had three north rooms, one wing room, and one east wing room.

It is definitely more than enough for three people and a nanny.

There is a sofa in the living room. Even though they moved to this small courtyard, the Zhou family's living standard has not dropped much.

After sitting down, Zhou Bingan took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong was obviously stunned for a moment.

In his impression, Zhou Bingan should not smoke.

Looking at the other party's appearance, he seemed to be much more haggard than before.

Although Li Weidong didn't usually smoke, he still took it, then picked up the matches on the table to light them for the other party, and then himself.

Next to her, Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but frowned, but Su Peiyun pulled her and said nothing.

"how's the work going recently?"

After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhou Bingan asked like an elder.

"Work is pretty good, but I may need to make some adjustments recently."

Li Weidong thought for a while and said.

Judging from Zhou Bing'an's appearance, it was obvious that something had happened, so he opened up to talk.

"Want to adjust? Where to go?"

Zhou Bingan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

He knew that Li Weidong had just been promoted to deputy captain not long ago, and he seemed to have to take over as captain later, so it stands to reason that there would be no adjustments in a short time.

Moreover, the adjustment Li Weidong mentioned would definitely not be to take over as captain, but to go to another department.

"The leader gave me two options. One is to lead a department in the ministry and supervise serious cases across the country. The other is to go to the public security cadre school for two years. During this period, he will no longer serve as the deputy captain of the training base. After graduation, there will be another arrange."

Facing Zhou Bing'an, Li Weidong did not hide anything, and there was nothing he could not say about this kind of thing.

"Then how did you choose?"

Zhou Bingan was silent for a moment and asked.

"I plan to go to school for two years to study. After all, I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry."

Li Weidong expressed his choice.

"Well, this is a good choice. At your age, there is no need to fight for a while. It is more important to lay a good foundation. It shows that the leader still values ​​you very much."

Zhou Bingan had some relief on his face.

Next to them, Su Peiyun and Zhou Xiaobai also listened with their ears pricked up.

Especially Zhou Xiaobai, she just found out about this.

However, she never said anything about Li Weidong's work. No matter what Li Weidong chose, she would support him.

"Uncle, are you encountering any difficulties here?"

Li Weidong took the opportunity to ask.

Hearing his question, Zhou Bingan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

If it were an ordinary young man, he would definitely not say that.

But Li Weidong, the son-in-law, is different.

Although he came to the city from the countryside less than a year ago, he has climbed to a jaw-dropping height.

Sometimes he still feels incredible when he mentions it to his wife.

Li Weidong seems to have created a legend.

So he didn't regard Li Weidong as an ordinary young man.

"Last time you asked Xiaobai to come back and tell you to hand over the small western-style building, I made a special trip to Uncle Xiaobai. His opinion was that I should withdraw from the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and then he would think about it again. Way, help me move around and find another job."

Zhou Bingan said bluntly.

"So the job change is not going well now?"

Li Weidong thought for a while and asked.

According to Zhou Bing'an, he obviously has no resistance to changing jobs. So now that he is worried, it can only be that there is something wrong with changing jobs.

"Well, originally everything was fine, but something went wrong at the last minute. Actually, it was the consequences of the original batch of medical equipment.

Although Zhang Qinhua's case has been determined and he was responsible for it in the first place, some people were punished because of this incident.

What happened this time was that those people were causing trouble. "

There was a trace of anger in Zhou Bingan's eyes.

To be honest, he is the victim, but some people don't think so, thinking that he is deliberately causing trouble.

In addition, Zhou Xiaobai's uncle has completely retreated, and it is very common for people to leave to cool down their tea. This also leads to a lot of weakness on his side, so that he is sniped by others, ruining the good situation.Now, the affairs of the Federation of Industry and Commerce have been handed over long ago, and there are problems with his new job. Recently, he has been idle at home.

Zhou Xiaobai did not know about these things.

She is usually busy with things on the women's farm. When she comes home occasionally, her parents won't tell her this.

If Li Weidong hadn't come over today and asked proactively, I'm afraid she would still be kept in the dark.

So after hearing this, I couldn't help but said: "Dad, something big happened at home, why didn't you tell me?"

"Is it useful to tell you?"

Zhou Bingan made Zhou Xiaobai speechless and depressed with just one sentence.

She can't always say confidently: I can find my boyfriend.

Even now Zhou Bingan is still talking to Li Weidong, but who says it and how he says it are completely different.

Even if Li Weidong hadn't taken the initiative to ask, I'm afraid Zhou Bingan still wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk about it.

With his pride, he couldn't bear to look like this.

"Uncle, it's my fault for this matter. If I hadn't asked Xiaobai to tell you to let the small foreign-style building go, you wouldn't have gone to your uncle to talk about this matter, and there would be no need to change jobs."

Li Weidong took the initiative to take over this responsibility.

"It has nothing to do with you. You also have good intentions. The main reason is that I was too optimistic before. I suffered such a big loss last time and I should have moved out of that small western-style building long ago before I have a long memory.

Moreover, it was Uncle Xiaobai and I’s idea to change jobs, but you didn’t know that before. "

Zhou Bingan shook his head, let alone saying that this was the case, even if it was really Li Weidong who caused it, he would not say anything, let alone blame Li Weidong.

As he just said, Li Weidong was completely out of good intentions and even found a place for them in advance.

This kind of thought is rare.

As for not living in the place Li Weidong was looking for, it was also due to his own considerations.

After all, Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai are not married yet, so what's the point of them running away to live together?

"Uncle, our family won't talk to each other anymore. Please tell me in detail about your new job. I still have some connections and see if I can be of any help."

Whether it was for the sake of Zhou Xiaobai or the fact that they were about to become a family, he could not ignore Zhou Bingan's affairs.

Moreover, Zhou Bing'an was somewhat different from his father-in-law, Li Shuqun.

What happened to Li Shuqun caught him off guard. Even though there was some discord between father and son, after the other party's accident, he tried his best to help him get out of the vortex.

Even if the method used was somewhat bad, it was the best method at the time.

After all, at that time, Li Weidong himself had just established his position, and both his status and energy were far from being comparable to what he is now.

Moreover, letting Li Shuqun go to the countryside is not a bad choice, at least it can provide some exercise.

The last time Li Shuqun came back, it could be seen from his mental outlook that he had changed a lot.

When the time comes in the future, Li Weidong wouldn't mind bringing him back.

However, he never mentioned this to Zhang Xiuzhen, let alone Li Shuqun.

Now, although he decided to help Zhou Bing'an, he still wanted to hear what was going on and the new job he wanted to run, so he couldn't guarantee it.

"This……"

Zhou Bing'an hesitated for a moment.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to trouble Li Weidong.

Su Peiyun, who was still on the side, said: "Weidong is not an outsider either. Just talk to him. If there is a way, you don't have to keep sulking at home."

"Yes, dad, tell me quickly."

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but glance at Li Weidong, and when he saw the latter smiling reassuringly at her, he persuaded her.

"Well, the job that Uncle Xiaobai helped me run this time was with the Federation of Trade Unions. He was at the deputy bureau level and was mainly responsible for some social welfare issues. After all, I have some experience in this area. It was supposed to be done. , but in the end it was destroyed by those people.”

Zhou Bingan said.

In fact, he still has some expectations for this job, because he used to be responsible for some work related to public-private partnerships at the Federation of Industry and Commerce, but this department is currently semi-private and semi-official.

The Federation of Trade Unions is completely official, and its level is relatively more formal.

Based on his previous contributions and the fact that this position is not so sensitive, it was basically stable.

Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen at the last minute.

Now that position has been taken.

However, although he told Li Weidong, he actually didn't have high hopes. After all, Li Weidong mainly had connections with the public security side.

It's too far away from the Federation of Trade Unions.

Of course, if Li Weidong can find the leader to come forward, it will definitely be a trivial matter, but even if Li Weidong wants to do this, he will resolutely stop it.

He values ​​Li Weidong's future more than his own affairs.

Li Weidong's impression among the leaders should not be ruined because of him.

"Where is the Federation of Trade Unions? I'll go back and find a friend to ask about the situation."

Li Weidong nodded.

In his opinion, Zhou Bing'an's matter was not a big deal, it was mainly about the position he sought.

Speaking of which, Li Weidong himself is just a deputy bureau-level cadre. He said that the affairs of the deputy bureau are quite simple, which sounds a bit too arrogant.

But in fact, the situation he had to face was much simpler than this.

Especially Zhou Bing'an was already running pretty well, but it was someone who made trouble that prevented him from succeeding.

In other words, excluding these interference factors, he is fully qualified for this position.

It's not that Li Weidong wants to send an ordinary person to this position.

The gap between the two can be described as worlds apart.

As for finding a relationship, Li Weidong is not lying now.

First of all, it’s not worth going to the leader for such a trivial matter.

As for his connections, he had Hu Jingcheng, Xu Wen, Zhen Jingting, and Meng Dongqing from the Investigation Bureau.

After much calculation, it was actually more appropriate to approach Meng Dongqing for this matter.

Although Xu Wen and Zhen Jingting have more backgrounds and extensive family connections, their relationship is mainly in the military.

And Meng Dongqing, despite looking at it, is just a first-level investigation specialist.

But don’t forget what the Bureau of Investigation does. It mainly targets internal investigations.

In other words, even if there is any problem with the Federation of Trade Unions, the Investigation Bureau will come forward.

Although the investigation bureau is a little bit sensitive, there is no problem if you just want to find someone and say a few words.

What's more important is that the people who caused trouble for Zhou Bingan this time were originally punished because of those medical equipment. They didn't honestly look for problems within themselves and even caused trouble.

What is this for?
At that moment, the leader reminded him that he was also from the Investigation Bureau and asked him to identify the gate if he had nothing to do.

This time I went over to mention it to Meng Dongqing and check out those guys jumping up and down.

What if the other party takes Zhou Bingan's position?

This is not the first time he has done something like this.

And this time, he was being reasonable.

He was originally responsible for that case, but he handed it over later, something would go wrong and he would sort it out. Who can say anything?
Who dares to say anything?
