Although it was the first day he went to work, Han Xiaowu didn't get up early.

I got up at seven o'clock, finished washing up at seven o'clock, and was about to go to the noodle restaurant at the north gate of the community for breakfast, but my best friend Xu Haoran from college actually called me.

Han Xiaowu walked out of the elevator and answered the phone and joked: "Mr. Xu, why did you get up so early today? Did you not sleep all night? I still feel unsatisfied and want to find someone to talk to you."

"Are you early? It's only seven o'clock in the evening!"

"Seven o'clock in the evening..." Han Xiaowu suddenly reacted: "Fatty, have you gone to the United States?"

"Didn't you tell you last time? I asked my friend to help me find a business school here. I settled down in the past few days and went to school early tomorrow morning. After so many years, I remembered you and called you."

"Go to the United States to study for an MBA?" Xu Haoran is a rich second generation who is just a fake. His family has money, so he is not surprised that Han Xiaowu went to the United States to study.

"You can read it, why can't I?"

"Yes, I wish you a degree as soon as possible." Han Xiaowu thought about it and smiled, "It's a coincidence that you found a school and went abroad to live a life of life under the guise of studying. I also found a job. Today is the first day of work."

"When you go to work? Haven't you retired and retired? Why are you back to Donghai?"

"I'm not in the East China Sea, I'm in Anhai."

"Where is Anhai?"

Han Xiaowu suddenly realized that he was not familiar with Jiang Province and explained: "Anhai is a county-level city in the northernmost part of Tongjiang City. It borders Taitung City, where my hometown is. It takes an hour to take a taxi from my hometown to Taitung, but it only takes more than ten minutes to take a taxi to Anhai, which is very close to my hometown."

"County-level city, what job do you go to county-level city to find?"

"Others don't know, you know. I don't want to do anything else in the financial migrant worker. That industry is too tiring and stressful, and my body is depreciating too quickly. I don't want to die suddenly. I originally thought of resting in my hometown for a while and spending time with my parents, but they urged them to get married every day, and even the relatives, friends and neighbors looked at me, so I couldn't stay there, so I had to come out."

Xu Haoran reacted and said with some gloating pleasure: "Who told you that you were not married in your thirties, and who asked you to stay at home every day? If you guessed correctly, the relatives and neighbors in your hometown must have seen you not go home for seven or eight years. This time I stayed there for several months. I thought you were causing trouble outside and owed debts, so I ran back to avoid the limelight!"

"Absolutely, that family can't stay anyway." Han Xiaowu couldn't help laughing.

"If you can't stay in your hometown, you can come out and have fun, you are not short of money."

"It's too tiring to go out. I don't want to make trouble anymore. At least I won't go far in a short time."

"If you don't want to go out, you don't need to go to work. Besides, what good job can you have in the small eighth-tier county towns?"

"Who cares about whether the job is good or not, I just want to find something to do, otherwise people will be ruined."

"You are lonely, are you trying to make some friends and want to find someone to talk to?"

"Absolutely, I won't be late for work if I don't talk to you.

"I really take it seriously. I want to see how many days you can stay in that small eighth-tier county town!"

...

Han Xiaowu hung up the phone, walked into the noodle shop and asked for a bowl of fish noodle soup. He looked at the time on his phone that was almost eight o'clock. He got up and walked out of the noodle shop, crossed the road, and came downstairs of the new unit diagonally opposite the community.

This eight-story building is located at the end of Anda Pedestrian Street, next to Anhai People's Hospital. I don't know if there is no property or the key to the door is in the hands of the personnel on other floors. The door facing west is locked. Han Xiaowu could only follow the sign on the wall and walk in the alley in front of the three-dimensional garage of the People's Hospital. Pass the community police room with the same locked door, enter the main hall from the side door, and take the elevator to the eighth floor.

As soon as the elevator was exited, the large sign of "Yanggang Community" was particularly eye-catching.

The glass door of the open office area was open, and a female community cadre in her thirties was answering the phone with one hand and putting a red vest with the words "volunteer" printed on her body with the other.

"Hello, please wait, I'll answer the phone first." The female community cadre looked up and pointed to the swivel chair in front of the desk to signal Han Xiaowu to sit, and then continued to call: "Sorry, the person in charge of this matter is not here today. He went to the street for a meeting in the morning, and there is an event in the afternoon, or you can come tomorrow..."

She spoke in Anhai dialect. Although Fu'an Town, where Han Xiaowu's hometown is located, does not belong to Anhai City, and even does not belong to the same prefecture-level city as Anhai, because it is very close and has almost no difference in accent, Han Xiaowu not only understands it omnipotently, but also communicates without any obstacles. However, his current focus is not on the call content of female community cadres, but curiously looks at the future "work" environment.

The office area in the shape of the back is composed of more than a dozen desks. Judging from the number of computers and chairs, there are ten workstations. The windows are bright and the light is abundant, but it looks a bit messy. The table is filled with various documents and materials, and the floor is filled with folders, large cartons and other things.

The walls around are also full, either slogans such as "Don't forget the original aspiration, keep the mission in mind, and strive forever" or "Going into a new era, embarking on a new journey, and continuing to write a new chapter", or public notice boards for the "Standardized Construction Responsibility List", or publicity posters such as creating a national civilized city, health education and safety education.

Naturally, there will be no lack of socialist core values, such as prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality... The twenty-four words almost fill the small wall between the two large windows.

There is a large conference room on the west side of the office area, and the area on the east side is quite large. There are independent spaces on both sides of the aisle, all separated by tempered glass. At first glance, there are signs hanging, each with its own functions, which is dazzling.

Han Xiaowu couldn't help but remember the office on the bank of the Pu River. Although the area was not large, it was decorated very stylishly. You can pull down the venetian blinds, pour a glass of red wine, lean comfortably on the leather swivel chair, cross your legs, and overlook the river view and even the night view of the Bund.

But this is just a scene of imagination. Not to mention that he has resigned, even if he has not resigned, the tall office is useless to him. In the past few years, he had no time to sit in the office and overlook the river view.

He was just chasing the past, and the female community cadre put down the phone and asked, "Hello, what's wrong?"

Han Xiaowu recovered from his senses and subconsciously looked at the work sign on her desk: "Hello, my name is Han Xiaowu, I'm here to report. The street party and mass bureau asked me to come to find Secretary Wang and Director Zhang."

"You are Han Xiaowu?" asked the female community cadre in surprise.

Community cadres are just a name. In fact, they are neither civil servants nor professional staff, and their salary is low. Unless they take the civil servant or professional staff, there is no hope of promotion and salary increase. Not only at the grassroots level, it can be said that they are just a low-level society. If a young man does this, he will not even find a girlfriend.

The female community cadre heard yesterday that a newcomer would come today, and the director also heard the name of the newcomer, but he thought that the newcomer was a woman named "Han Xiaowu". He never thought that it would be a young man. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, thinking that although this young man was not as tall as a big man, he was probably 1.75 meters tall and had a good appearance and temperament. Where can people like him find a job, why would he go to the community to work?

Han Xiaowu was confused by her question and couldn't help asking: "I am Han Xiaowu, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing," the female community cadre recovered and directly thought that Han Xiaowu was probably here to make a transition. He couldn't work for a few days. He scratched his head and pointed to a workstation in the corner and said, "The secretary went to the city for a meeting, and the director was in the street. Today you can't see them anymore, but they told me that you would come to work. My name is Xu Dongmei, welcome."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Xu Dongmei walked to the corner and quickly packed her desk: "The secretary and the director said yesterday that if you come, just sit here. Be responsible for the united front, the Youth League Committee and care for the next generation, and wait until these things are done, and then adjust according to the situation."

"If I come... this is interesting. Are the secretary and the director still worried that I will not come?" Han Xiaowu walked into the office area and asked.

"I have had this situation before. I won't talk about it anymore. I'll get your cell phone."

“I have a cell phone.”

"I mean working mobile phone. I only remember that the short number is 5088, and the trombone will be logged in later. Remember to change the WeChat name and some WeChat groups' business cards should also be changed. For example, I have the real name in the group Xu Dongmei, otherwise others will not know who you are and what to call me." Xu Dongmei ran to the opposite side, opened a drawer, flipped out a mobile phone, turned around and handed it to Han Xiaowu, and added: "You first get familiar with the environment, the computer password is 3030, I have a few forms to fill in, so I won't help you clean up."

Han Xiaowu didn't want to delay her work, but he still asked, "Sister Xu, what do I have to do next?"

"United Front, Youth League Committee and caring for the next generation, didn't you just say it?"

"What does the united front work do? How should the Youth League Committee work? I have never even heard of the next generation. Do you have any job responsibilities or something?"

"No."

Han Xiaowu didn't want to sit like a fool and asked, "Is there any induction training?"

Xu Dongmei was busy filling out the form and said without raising her head: "The director said you have trained in the street, and it seems that Secretary Chen from the street trained you."

"I had a meeting on the street yesterday afternoon, but I was talking about... all the spirit of the Party Central Committee, which is similar to political learning."

"You guys at least had a meeting, we didn't even hold a meeting at that time."

"But I don't understand these things, how can I be responsible for them if I don't know?"

"Don't worry, it's not that complicated. You will notify whatever you want. You will do whatever your superiors ask you to do. You will be familiar with it after working for a few days. We don't have internship training here, and there is no transmission or help. It's not that you don't send or help, but that there is no transmission or help. Otherwise, you can first look at the folders on your computer and the groups on your phone, and you will know what to do after reading it."

Han Xiaowu wanted to ask something else, and with a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and an old couple in their seventies and eighties came. They were energetic and dressed simply and refreshedly. Especially the old lady, who was fair and gentle, humble and polite.

Xu Dongmei quickly put down her work and stood up to receive her. It turned out that they were once residents of Yanggang Community. When they were demolished and moved, the party organization relationship was transferred to Sanlizha Community. Now they moved back to the city area and wanted to transfer the organizational relationship back, and had already agreed with the secretary of Sanlizha Community.

Xu Dongmei took the ID cards and party member certificates of the two elderly people, turned on the computer to log in to the system for inquiries, and then called Secretary Wang, who was in a meeting in the city.

"The address on their ID card is in our community, but their current address is not there. The place where they live now belongs to Wangchi, and there is no letter of introduction. I remember what they should have..."

Han Xiaowu was thinking that she might be a newcomer, otherwise she would not be so unfamiliar with the business. The old man couldn't help but interrupt: "Little girl, Secretary Chen said there was no need for an introduction letter, he said he could transfer it online."

The old lady pulled the old man's sleeve, as if it had caused some trouble to others, and explained very embarrassedly: "The Sanlizha is a bit far away, and the office and conference room are on the third floor again, and there is no elevator. Every time I go to a meeting, I have to run so far and climb the stairs, so I want to ask you to help us transfer the organizational relationship."

"I know, please wait." Xu Dongmei nodded and then called for instructions: "Secretary, is it OK? Although the place they live now is not in our community, the address of their ID card is... OK, I know."

"Can you do it?" the old man asked expectantly.

Xu Dongmei put out the phone and looked up and smiled, "The secretary said there is no big problem, so I will help you transfer it."

"Thank you, please."

"No trouble." Xu Dongmei sat down and clicked the mouse, looked at the computer screen again, then looked up and said, "Grandpa, grandma, you should pay the party dues. In addition, the activities of our community party branch are arranged on the afternoon of the 25th of each month. At that time, I will send you two messages in advance, and I have your phone number on it."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much." The old lady picked up her wallet and hurriedly paid.

"The minimum monthly party dues in our community is 30. How much do you two pay there?" Xu Dongmei took out the account book for registering party dues.

The old man was stunned, hesitated for a while before saying a little embarrassedly: "Little girl, I... I used to be the secretary of the brigade, but later I went to the brick and tile factory, and later transferred my household registration to the city. I didn't have a retirement salary, so I got 16 per month. I...I..."

Before the old man finished explaining, the old lady took the conversation timidly: "I used to be a private teacher in the countryside. Later, my family was in trouble and I had too many children to take care of it. I stopped working for 72 years and had no retirement salary just like him. Now I get 162 a month, and it used to be 125. This 162 has only increased in recent years, and I get it once a year. The party dues for our party at Sanlizha are five yuan per person, and two people add up to ten yuan."

The two old men kept explaining, not knowing if there were any rigid regulations, which made Xu Dongmei very embarrassed.

Han Xiaowu has never seen such a thing before. He thought that would be so important to open a community once a month? If you don’t come, you don’t have to pay. You are so old and your financial conditions are not good, so no one will come to ask them for it.

Seeing that the two old men finally took out a few wrinkled banknotes from their wallets and handed over the party dues, Han Xiaowu felt a little uncomfortable and really wanted to stand up and help them pay the party dues for one or even ten years.

Just when he wanted to check whether there were corresponding standards for paying party dues online, Xu Dongmei suddenly said: "Grandpa, grandma, now there is a policy. In the case of you two, you can apply for the honorary honorary money as long as you are over 80 years old. You two are both 79 years old this year and you can get it in April next year. Then you two bring your ID cards and we will help you two."

"There is also this policy?" The old man was surprised.

"Yes, each person costs 60 yuan per month, and you two can receive 1,444 yuan a year. Remember to do it when the time comes, don't forget it."

"Okay, little girl, thank you!"

"You're welcome, go back slowly."
