This was a good thing. After all, the couple's life was a blessing. It was happy to have it and not painful to lose it. However, Li Rui felt pain in the next moment. What was it?
Little Bowen in the family! The little guy cried from time to time. He cried when he wanted to eat or when he peed or pooped. If he wanted to eat, Qingman had a natural milk source. As long as she put the pacifier into the little guy's mouth, the little guy would suck happily. However, if he peed or pooped, Qingman and Li Rui would have to get up to wash his crotch and change his diaper.
Some friends might ask, "What era is it now? Diapers are still used. Isn't it convenient and convenient to use diapers?" Li Rui thought so too. However, the problem was that He Suli and Qingman didn't think so. The mother and daughter never used diapers because they cared about the ventilation of the little guy's crotch. They only used old-fashioned diapers made by He Suli from old clothes at home. When he peed or pooped, he had to change them and wash them. Li Rui had to do all this. He had to get up two or three times a night. Every time he got up, he had to be busy for 15 minutes. This made him complain incessantly.
In addition, he had to wake up when the child cried. He woke up several times a night and almost didn't sleep for half the night. This made him go to work listlessly every day with dark circles under his eyes.
Qingman knew that he didn't have a good rest. She kindly suggested that He Suli accompany him at night and let him sleep in a separate bedroom. However, Li Rui didn't want his mother-in-law to be too tired, so he rejected the suggestion.
However, while this new life brought trouble to the young couple, it also brought them more happiness, and this kind of domestic happiness was irreplaceable by other kinds of happiness. Li Rui, who was a father for the first time, and Qingman, who was a mother for the first time, enjoyed this kind of happiness while experiencing more wonderful things in life …
Winter came and went, spring came and autumn came. One year passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
"County Magistrate Li, are you satisfied with this office?"
A middle-aged man in his forties who looked old but had the advantage of being simple and honest said respectfully to Li Rui. He did not dare to slight him because of his young age.
Li Rui nodded and said, "It's pretty good. Thank you, Director Ma. Actually, I don't have any requirements for the office environment. It's fine as long as I can work."
The room they were in was an office facing the sun on the fourth floor of the Shuanghe County Government Building. Although the area was not big, there was very little office furniture. There was only a table, two chairs, a cupboard, and a water dispenser, so it was quite spacious. Speaking of which, such a simple office was more than enough for a normal cadre to use. However, for a Deputy County Head, using it as the office of a Deputy County Head was really shabby.
However, Li Rui did not think so. His words had already expressed his inner thoughts. He came to work, not to eat, drink, and play. Therefore, no matter how shabby the office was, as long as he could work, he would not care.
He would not think too much about it. For example, was the local leader trying to intimidate him by giving him a shabby office to use as an example? For example, did the Deputy Director of the Government Office in front of him, Ma Yuming, want to use the opportunity of arranging an office to test the temper of the new Deputy County Head? He did not think too much about it. Now, he just wanted to settle down as soon as possible, gain a firm foothold, and then start a career.
14 months ago, Li Rui was promoted to Deputy Director by the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Song Chaoyang quickly arranged a new position for him, which was Deputy Director of the Political Research Office (part-time). This position allowed him to walk on the same path as his confidante, Ling Shuyao. Coincidentally, the office that the Political Research Office arranged for him was the same room that Ling Shuyao used to work in. When Ling Shuyao heard about this, she made fun of Li Rui for following her footsteps and shadow.
Just last week, Li Rui, who had been a Deputy Director for more than a year, was finally demoted to the lowest level by Song Chaoyang. He came to Shuanghe County, which he was most familiar with, to be the Deputy County Head. Now, the Organization Department and the National People's Congress had completed the procedures, and he was officially one of the Deputy County Heads of Shuanghe County. He was in charge of attracting investments, government services, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection. He was also in charge of the Investment Promotion Agency, County Comprehensive Administrative Service Center, Poverty Alleviation Office, and Environmental Protection Bureau. He was also in charge of major projects.
Li Rui had also become the youngest Deputy County Head in the history of Shuanghe County!
For other people, this might be an achievement worth bragging about. But for Li Rui, this was not worth mentioning. This was because this Deputy County Head was not the end of his career. On the contrary, this was only his starting point!
Shuanghe County Head Chen Kui had ordered the Deputy Director of the Government Office, Ma Yuming, to serve Li Rui. In other words, Ma Yuming had become Li Rui's "big secretary" for a long time. Ma Yuming had arranged accommodation for Li Rui at the County Government Guest House yesterday, and today, he brought him to the Government building to claim his office. At this point, Li Rui had finally settled down.
As for Qingman and his mother, they will stay in Qingyang for the time being. Li Rui's current plan was to work in the local office during the weekdays and return home on the weekends. Of course, if he was busy, he would not be able to take care of his family. But he had no other choice. After all, he was determined to work in the government and had to invest most of his time and freedom. As for what he owed his family, he could only find opportunities to make it up to them.
"In the afternoon, I will find someone to move a sofa and a coffee table over. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for County Magistrate Li to receive guests in your office."
Ma Yuming was very surprised by Li Rui's low requirements. He thought that as the youngest deputy county magistrate in the history of Shuanghe County and even Qingyang City, Li Rui should be proud and full of ambition. In terms of life and work treatment, even if he did not ask for the best, at least he should not suffer any grievances. However, he did not expect that in the face of such a simple and shabby office with such a bad configuration, he would be so content and did not have any complaints at all. This was really surprising.
However, the surprise in Ma Yuming's heart only lasted for a short while before it turned into admiration. Although it was normal for a Communist Party official and a government official to have such a hard and simple work style, it was admirable for such a young Deputy County Head to be able to do it. After all, many old leaders and cadres would fight to the death for a little bit of treatment even after retirement. It was really commendable that Li Rui could ignore such treatment at such a young age.
Because of this, Ma Yuming was very embarrassed. He felt that he did not do a good job in his service and neglected the Deputy County Head. He quickly said something to remedy the situation and offered to buy a set of furniture for Li Rui to receive guests.
Li Rui did not refuse and thanked him, "Then I will have to trouble you, Director Ma."
"It's no trouble, haha …" Ma Yuming replied with a smile, "This is what I should do. Uh … Also, the small team has prepared an official car for you. It's a Passat. It's been a few years, but it's still well maintained. I hope you don't mind. "
Li Rui heard him say "you" again and again and smiled, "Director Ma, you see that I'm younger than you. You don't have to be so polite. We'll be working together in the future, so you don't have to be so polite. I'm not that particular. As for the car, it's fine as long as there's one that can be used. It doesn't have to be too good. Also, a Passat should be one of the best in the county, right? Haha, County Head Chen still takes care of me. "
In fact, Chen Kui had to take care of Li Rui. Now, almost all the cadres in the county knew where Li Rui came from. Some of the well-connected people even knew that he used to be Song Chaoyang's favorite general. When he came down, the leaders of the departments in the city personally accompanied him to take up his new position. This was a treatment that most Deputy Division Leaders did not receive. As the county head, Chen Kui naturally knew about this important situation. More importantly, Song Chaoyang was still in office and could still take good care of Li Rui. If someone could take care of Li Rui properly, not only would they gain Li Rui's favor, they would also gain a good reputation from Song Chaoyang. Smart people naturally knew how to treat Li Rui.
As for Li Rui, when he first came to Shuanghe, he was most worried about Chen Kui, the head of the county government. Although he had his boss, Song Chaoyang, and his elder brother, Fang Qingyun, in Shuanghe, when it came to the county government's work, the two of them were not as good as the county head. Everything still depended on Chen Kui's attitude. If Chen Kui was convenient, his work would be smooth. But if Chen Kui was indifferent or even deliberately made trouble, then he would not be able to do a good job, let alone build up a career.
However, from his observations over the past two days, Li Rui found that Chen Kui was relatively friendly. This also showed that he was a person with political awareness. Working under such a person should be easier.
Speaking of which, Chen Kui was friendly to Li Rui on the premise that Song Chaoyang was still in office. Another issue that could not be ignored was that Song Chaoyang's term was coming to an end. When that time came, he would definitely be transferred. Once he left, Chen Kui's attitude might change. Li Rui could not help but consider this point. Before his boss was transferred, he had to make the necessary preparations. For example, he had to see if he could become friends with Chen Kui.
