Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

During this period, Tao Tao ran to his parents' place every three days, came here alone, and lived there for a few days.Tao Fan and his wife felt strange.My mother said: "You have to pay attention to the influence. If you don't go to work all the time, Yinda is not a good person in the county." Tao Tao said: "I took personal leave and took sick leave. Whose business is it to do if I take sick leave and take public leave?" Seeing her daughter speaking so steeply, the mother guessed that the young couple might have had a conflict.When asked, Tao Tao became even more angry: "What's wrong with me wanting to rest when I'm tired? He's busy with work, so he still has time to argue with me?"

Tao Tao usually acts coquettishly in front of her parents, and never speaks like that.Today, Tao Fan and his wife looked at each other in dismay. The family was unhappy, and the old god came and told Tao Fan that he found out that several units had replaced the signboard written by Secretary Tao, and he was very indignant.Tao Fan said with a smile: "Old Shen, old Shen, what a big deal, I thought there was an earthquake." After the old god left, the wife was very upset and said, "This old Shen is really an old god!" Tao Fan didn't say a word, just drinking tea.Madam knew that he was not feeling well, but she didn't know how to enlighten him.The room seemed so still that the air was thinning out.

Tao Tao suddenly started a discussion at the side: "Dad, don't worry about it. You are still a virtuous and talented person, and you have a clear conscience after serving as an official for more than ten years. In fact, ordinary people treat officials like three-year-old children. Three years old As long as a year-old child can speak a few articulate words and do something unexpected by an adult, he will immediately be appreciated and regarded as a child prodigy; as long as an official can speak a few words, as long as his handwriting is not too bad, everyone Let’s just say that he has a level. In fact, among ordinary people, there are too many people who are eloquent and superb in calligraphy, and their level is also higher than those who are officials. Officialdom, that’s how it is!”

The lady's face became serious, and she stopped her daughter: "You are too outrageous!" Tao Fan waved his hand at his wife, and said, "Don't blame Tao Tao, she makes a lot of sense. Especially the comparison of her three-year-old child really shocked me! If I had heard such words a few years earlier, I would have benefited a lot. " What Tao Tao revealed was his contempt for officialdom, but what Tao Fan got was another kind of insight.Yes, our people are indeed too generous, and they don't have high demands on our leading cadres.But some of us can't even meet our not-so-high expectations of the people!Thinking of this, Tao Fan seemed to think that his personal grievances were not important anymore, so he didn't take the matter of the inscription replacement to heart for the time being.

In the evening Guan Yinda came to pick Tao Tao home and said, "Tongtong is arguing for his mother at home, and I'm too busy to greet my son." Tao Tao said: "Dad is retired, it's boring to be idle, and you are busy, so I have to come back to see more. You have only come back for a few days, and you are eager to pick it up." When the two met, they were peaceful and there was no flaw. .The two elders couldn't persuade each other, so they only greeted Guan Yinda for dinner, talked for a while, and then let them go. It turns out that Guan Yinda has been in a bad mood recently.Liu Peilong is about to be transferred to the deputy commissioner of the administrative office. According to the routine, Guan Yinda should take over as the secretary of the county party committee, but the news that spread is not good for him.He was in a bad mood, and he was struggling outside, so it was inevitable that he would look a little pale when he returned home.Tao Tao thought that her husband blamed her father for affecting his future, and felt angry.Guan Yinda was afraid of misunderstanding, so he didn't bother to explain.So both sides were bored and angry.

After Tao Tao returned home, Tao Fan's place was quiet for quite some time.It was too quiet, and a little panicked.He often went for a walk on Taoling.Walking and walking, unexpectedly went to the direction of Taoyuan Hotel.As soon as I saw the pink building, I was startled like a dream, and immediately turned around and went home. For some reason, there was a discussion outside, saying that Tao Fan always looked around the Taoyuan Hotel foolishly, maybe he was still thinking about the old Huwei.This word reached Tao Fan's ears, and he was so angry that he had nothing to say.I thought Tao Fan really became Zhang Xueliang?Lost the freedom to go for a walk?

I don't want to invite this kind of discussion again, so I have to stay at home, smear, and chat to masturbate.Feeling lonely one day, I thought of a phrase "moss invaded the courtyard in the autumn wind", but I couldn't remember who it belonged to, but I just sighed with emotion.So because of its artistic conception, I drew a picture: the courtyard is desolate, the autumn leaves are falling, and the moss is dyed in the courtyard.When Madam came back from get off work, she saw Tao Fan pointing a few dead branches and leaves with a pen.She felt that her husband's brushstrokes were somewhat bleak.That night, the wife said, "I want to retire early."

Tao Fan saw Madam's thoughts, was very moved, and sighed softly: "Okay."
