Chapter 2547

~4 min read 734 words

This cute little grandson could only be seen once a year. Seeing him today, they naturally couldn't get enough of him.

Watching the old couple chasing after Niuniu, their hands holding all kinds of delicious things, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya both shook their heads and smiled.

Lu Xiaoya greeted Zhang Kaishan and Zhang Cheng, then went into the room she shared with Su Xinghui, while Su Xinghui sat down with the Zhang father and son.

Su Xinghui asked, "Uncle Zhang, your work here has been going well this year, right? Do you need me to help you with anything?"

Zhang Kaishan smiled and said, "You've already helped me a lot. My situation here is good now, and all aspects of work are on the right track."

Su Xinghui asked Zhang Cheng again, "Zhang Cheng, when did you come?"

Zhang Cheng gave the same answer as he had for years: "I came before the New Year; I've been here for ten days or so."

Su Xinghui said, "You should bring the child to see Uncle Zhang more often, so he can also enjoy family happiness."

Zhang Cheng said, "Yes, that's what I was thinking."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "When you have time, come to the capital to play. I'll take your family to see the capital properly; there are too many places to see in the capital."

Zhang Cheng said, "Sure, as long as you have time. Anyway, my work is relatively leisurely."

Zhang Kaishan said, "That won't do either. How can you just be greedy for leisure? You still have to work hard."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I know, Dad."

Zhang Cheng said so, but he clearly didn't take it to heart. Seeing Zhang Cheng like this, Zhang Kaishan also shook his head helplessly. This son of his didn't have much ambition, just enjoying his wife, children, and warm bed every day, never tiring of it. Even if his leaders wanted to promote him, there was no reason to.

However, this was also fine. Zhang Cheng didn't make any mistakes, could complete the work assigned by his leaders, and managed his family well, which could be considered not bad.

There was a saying in Shangjun County: "A hundred people, all kinds of colors." This society was originally composed of all kinds of people. Zhang Cheng's personality was harmless to others, so as long as he liked it himself, what was wrong with that?

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Zhang, I've already persuaded my dad to retire. He has already agreed. He said he would go back after the New Year to file a report, handle the procedures, and then come to the capital with my mom to live with us."

Zhang Kaishan said in surprise, "Your dad is willing to retire early?"

Su Xinghui said, "I persuaded him several times. This time, I guess he also missed his grandson."

Lu Zhenghong heard Su Xinghui's words. He put down the grandson he was holding and let him go play with his grandmother. Lu Zhenghong also walked over and sat opposite Su Xinghui, saying, "Your dad is going to retire?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, he'll go back after the New Year to handle it."

Lu Zhenghong said, "Hmm, his retirement is also a good thing. He has worked hard for you for a lifetime, and now it's good to enjoy the happiness of children and grandchildren. Sigh, we probably still have to work for the revolution for a few more years."

Hearing Lu Zhenghong sigh, Su Xinghui asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Tired?"

Lu Zhenghong said, "Being an official is not easy. It's exhausting, and relatives can't reunite."

At Lu Zhenghong's position, it was indeed very tiring. In the imperial court, there was infighting, and it was impossible to live like an ordinary person. After work, there were many social engagements and meetings. If things went wrong, an emergency meeting would have to be held all night. The more festive the holiday, the busier it was. Wanting to be with children and grandchildren to enjoy family happiness was truly a luxury.

It could be said that this was the feeling of being cold at the top!

Su Xinghui knew that this wasn't Lu Zhenghong being pretentious. The pressure of being an official was indeed very great. When Su Xinghui himself was fighting with others, he often had this feeling. ===== CHAPTER 2549 =====
