One Thousand and Fifteen, No Morals
"Have you worn a suit?" Yang Xiaojin asked across the room at night.
She and Ren Xiaosu both lived on the second floor. The house was made of brick and wood. There were only a few layers of wood between the two houses, so they could hear each other clearly.
Ren Xiaosu lay on the bed with his arms under his head: "I don't have a chance to wear that kind of thing. It's interesting to say that when I was in the market town, Wang Fugui whispered to me that people who come out of the barrier should never wear a suit." Don't mess with it, because it must be a big shot."
At that time, Ren Xiaosu secretly made up his mind when he was young, thinking that he would also get a suit to wear...
Of course, this is just thinking about it. After all, suits are not convenient for activities and hunting.
Now that times have changed, he has seen many, many people in suits, but those so-called big shots have gradually become worthless in his eyes.
Yang Xiaojin smiled and said: "Then you are going to become a big shot. Sister Hu told me to go to work next week, and her husband will take you there. There are no other requirements, except that you have to order a formal suit. It’s decent to work there.”
Ren Xiaosu asked doubtfully, "Does the administrative center still have such regulations?"
"It's not a rule," Yang Xiaojin explained with a smile, "It's because Sister Hu thinks that if you don't wear formal clothes, you might be looked down upon in that place."
At this time, Yang Xiaojin imitated Miss Hu's tone and said: "You don't even know that the people who work in that place are all good people. If you don't wear formal clothes to go there, you don't know how they will arrange you in private!"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that they will arrange me."
"That's not allowed," Yang Xiaojin said, "Although I don't care about rules and regulations, I don't allow them to look down on you."
"Okay, then let's tear up the cloth and make a suit," Ren Xiaosu said with a cheerful smile, still a little sweet in his heart.
"No, I need two sets," Yang Xiaojin said, "Change them."
The next morning, the two stopped selling potatoes, and they took the No. 48 tram to the center of the barrier.
When the tram starts, it still makes a humming motor sound, and the car staggers through the city. There are passersby walking and reading with newspapers, and some students are running to school while chewing on buns.
Because they ran so fast, the schoolbags behind the students fell off their shoulders and hung on one arm.
Their boarding location was the departure station, so they picked the best seat in the middle as soon as they got on the bus.
After a few stops, an uncle came up. Seeing that there was no room in the car, he aimed his eyes at Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. This young couple seemed quite friendly.
He walked up to Ren Xiaosu and coughed twice: "Ahem."
As a result, Ren Xiaosu raised his head in surprise: "Are you sick, please stand far away so as not to infect us."
Yang Xiaojin was overjoyed all of a sudden, and she said in a low voice: "When taking a tram inside the barrier, young people have to give up their seats to their elders. This is a traditional virtue."
Ren Xiaosu was unhappy: "This guy with arms and legs, I think he is in his forties, why should I give up my seat to him?"
The uncle saw that Ren Xiaosu had no morals at all, so he gave up the moral kidnapping and went looking for other young people who might give up his seat...
"By the way, where are we going to order suits?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I asked clearly. There is a very famous store in the center of the barrier. It is said that the big shots in the barrier go there to order," Yang Xiaojin said.
"You don't have to order such a good deal," Ren Xiaosu muttered.
"That won't work, the one I will give you must be good," Yang Xiaojin said while looking out the window with a smile.
The tailor-made suit shop said it would take two weeks,
But Yang Xiaojin couldn't wait that long, so he just added money to rush the work in three days. I have to say that the power of money is extremely great. It took two weeks to complete the construction period, which was miraculously shortened to three days...
On the third day, after Yang Xiaojin went to get the suit back, she pushed Ren Xiaosu into the room to put the suit on, and then tied the tie for him with her own hands: "It's pretty good."
Ren Xiaosu felt a little awkward: "Really?"
"It's pretty," Yang Xiaojin looked at it carefully, and then helped Ren Xiaosu smooth out the wrinkles on the clothes: "But don't wear it like this at home, it's better if you don't wear a suit."
On Monday, Sister Hu shouted outside the door early: "Little Jin, quickly call your family to go out, and go to work with my family."
As soon as Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu went out, the sharp-eyed sister Hu saw Ren Xiaosu's decent suit at a glance: "Hey, isn't this the suit of Jin Button's family? Look at the buttons on the sleeves, only his family has them."
Yang Xiaojin explained with a smile: "You said you wanted to wear formal clothes, so I took him to order two."
Sister Hu raised her voice: "Ordered two suits!?"
But she knew that the suits from Jin Button's family were very expensive, and this little Jinkou girl was too kind to Lu Xiaomi, right?
This Lu Xiaomi is real, it's fine to eat and be lazy at home every day, but she even made Miss Xiaojin spend money on such an expensive suit!
Young people are too ignorant of the seriousness, how will they live in the future with such a big spendthrift?
Since Wang Yuexi worked in the administrative center, their family is now a bit rich, but Sister Hu is still not willing to order such expensive clothes for Wang Yuexi.
I thought to save some money and change to a better house as soon as possible, which is a serious matter.
Wang Yuexi looked at Ren Xiaosu, and felt a little awkward, thinking that this kid was dressed much better than himself.
But Wang Yuexi and Hu Xiaobai are not mean people, so think about it and let it go.
On the way to work, Wang Yuexi explained to Ren Xiaosu: "This time, you will be assigned to the civil affairs department. You will have your own direct supervisor. When you arrive there, you will follow the leadership's arrangement and do whatever you are asked to do. Don't be stubborn."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Wang," Ren Xiaosu agreed with a smile.
At this time, Wang Yuexi hesitated for a while before suddenly saying: "Well... If you have any troubles, you can find me in the Policy Research Office."
Although Wang Yuexi didn't want to have too much to do with Ren Xiaosu, this was his neighbor after all, so he had to take care of it.
At this time, there were already people queuing up outside the administrative center waiting to go through the formalities, but they couldn't go in because it wasn't working hours yet. .
Wang Yuexi led Ren Xiaosu inside: "In the early years, taxation was in one office building, marriage and divorce civil affairs were in one office building, and house deed transfer was in another place. It was very troublesome for ordinary people to go through the formalities. , it’s very convenient to gather all together. The slogan of the administrative center is that ordinary people can do things here, and they are absolutely not allowed to go to other places, and they don’t have to make a second trip. This is one of my main achievements, and it is widely accepted by ordinary people. We support."
When Wang Yuexi said this, there was still a bit of arrogance in his words.
