Since the beginning of winter last year, the ancestor of the Ruan family has been seriously ill, and after finally being rescued, he has become inactive. In previous years, as long as it was sunny in winter, I would go out to bask in the sun, but now I don't want to see the sun more and more. The health care doctor stationed in the Ruan family has already told the truth to several pillars of the Ruan family in private: At this rate, it is still unknown whether the old man will survive this winter.

Li Yundao couldn't help frowning slightly when he walked into the room that had been converted into a ward, vital signs monitors, oxygen delivery devices, and first-aid tables were all available, where was this like a room? It was even more outrageous than the intensive care unit. When he saw the listless old man lying on the hospital bed, Li Yundao was startled - where did the old man with a yellow face and sunken eye sockets still look like the spirited old lady he saw when he married a crazy girl?

"Old grandmother, I'm coming to see you!" Li Yundao squatted beside the old man's bed and called softly.

The health doctor on the side shook his head helplessly and said, "Mayor Li, the old man often sleeps during the day, but he is in good spirits at night. I guess I'm asleep by this time. But now the old man is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and sometimes he doesn't recognize anyone at all. ”

Li Yundao glanced at the old man on the hospital bed, sighed slightly, and said to the health care doctor: "Thank you for your hard work, working hard for your ancestors day and night!"

The health care doctor was flattered and hurriedly waved his hand: "It should be, it should be." ”

"Can you give me a little time to be alone with the old man for a while?" asked Li Yundao.

"Okay, if the old man falls asleep, try not to wake her up, sleep is also a process of repairing the body. The doctor gave two instructions, and then left with peace of mind.

When he heard the sound of the door closing, Li Yundao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the ancestor on the hospital bed with a smile: "Grandma, the doctor is out, you don't have to pretend to be asleep." ”

The old man on the hospital bed was still breathing evenly, there was no response, and the values on the sign monitor did not change even the slightest.

Li Yundao was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Grandma, these pedantic guys don't understand you, but I understand you, don't put me in the ranks of these idiots." ”

Sure enough, the heartbeat value on the monitor increased slightly, and the old man who was lying motionless on the bed slowly opened his eyes. The old man winked at Li Yundao, Li Yundao understood, and immediately stepped forward to help her remove the oxygen mask.

"One by one, they all treat me like old waste!" the old man muttered a sigh as he looked at the ceiling.

"Grandma, how can you be a waste? If you sneeze now, the financial circle in China will still have to tremble! It's just that your old man cherishes the market that has only become healthy with great difficulty, and also cherishes those apprentices and grandchildren who work overtime day and night for work, otherwise how can they live a comfortable life?"

Li Yundao's sycophant slapped the old man with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on him, but in an instant, the old man's gaze became serious again: "You are also a bad one!"

Li Da Diaomin looked aggrieved: "Grandma, I think about you every day!"

The old man snorted and said, "My obedient granddaughter, I have met once since I was born. You are really, you ruthlessly threw Fengju and Diandian's two children to the United States, aren't you afraid that the two children will grow up and won't even be able to speak Chinese?"

Li Yundao hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "Grandma, you are right. It is time for Fengju and Diandian to accept the traditional culture of our Chinese nation from an early age, and after this period of time, I will let the crazy girl send the two children back to China. ”

When the old man saw him obediently admit his mistake, his face softened, and he asked, "Fengju, that kid still refuses to speak?"

Li Yundao nodded, and said helplessly: "Since the name was given by the master, this closed-mouthed Zen material can't escape, but there is no need to rush for a while, Fengju is very smart, and not speaking will not hinder growth." ”

The old man let out a long sigh: "Your master Karma Pakhi is a real holy monk, since this closed-mouth meditation is given by him, it is also cultivated, at least a great lama who has cultivated a lifetime of world-class merits, and he will not want to ask for retribution in a child, just cultivate it, Saiong loses his horse, and he knows the blessings and misfortunes!"

Li Yundao said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, the two little rabbit cubs drink milk and eat beef in the United States, and they are very strong." It's you, it's worrying!"

The old man snorted very childishly and said, "Don't they think I'm terminally ill? ”

Li Yundao smiled bitterly: "Grandma, why are you so troubled?"

The old man snorted: "I'm not bitter, anyway, I'm not bitter at all! One foot has already stepped into the coffin, so I won't cause any more trouble to others!"

Li Yundao hurriedly said: "Who thinks you are troublesome? Who in this family doesn't treat you as an ancestor? If anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, you tell me, I will immediately repair and repair this guy, the family, the pain of skin and flesh can be avoided, but the filial piety scripture must be copied at least a hundred times." ”

The old man snorted again: "Do you dare? You dare to let your mother-in-law punish your mother-in-law for copying the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times?"

Li Yundao suddenly said with a bitter face: "Forget it, I still have to copy this scripture of filial piety by myself." "Give Li Yundao a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to let his mother-in-law punish him. It seems that the lawsuit of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is very mixed with it.

The old man was amused by his expression and laughed: "I know that you are a good boy, and your grandmother understands this heart." Say, if you come home today, you will have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, right?"

Li Yundao hurriedly swore to the sky: "Grandma, I really came to see you." As he spoke, he smirked, "In addition to looking at you, there are some professional things I want to ask you for." ”

The old man scolded with a smile: "I know that you are not well-intentioned, say it quickly, wait for them to come back in a while, and I have to sleep again." ”

Li Yundao described what happened in Jiangzhou to the old man in general, and finally talked about the issue of the free trade zone, but was interrupted by the old man: "They want to set aside a place in Lunan and Jiangbei to be a free trade zone?"

Li Yundao nodded and said: "Yes, if it is only Jiangbei or Lunan, the throughput of a single port is less than one-tenth of that of Shanghai, which is obviously not enough." I estimate that it is for this reason that some people will propose the overall consideration of the free trade zones in Lunan and Jiangzhou. ”

The old man nodded and said, "There are naturally pros and cons to overall consideration. It's just that only Lunan and Jiangbei are obviously not enough. ”

Li Yundao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Old grandmother, what do you mean...... Southern Anhui?"

The old man nodded and shook his head: "The amount is enough, but it can't take advantage and avoid harm." ”

Li Yundao was stunned, he knew that the old man's worries were exactly what he was worried about: "Grandma, are you also worried that even if the free trade zone is established, if you don't work in one place at that time, there will be problems at that time?"

The old man smiled and said, "This is actually only one aspect. In fact, the significance of the establishment of the free trade zone is not only to facilitate import and export, but also to derive financial reciprocity from the free trade zone. ”

Li Yundao nodded: "Grandma, you mean, let me do the work in the front?"

The old man said: "You go to Jiangbei, didn't the crazy girl ask someone to help you?"

Li Yundao immediately realized: It turned out that Ruan Yu had also guessed that Jiangzhou might be on the list of the third batch of free trade zones a long time ago, so he sent a member like Ning Ruomiao to Jiangzhou to assist him. Thinking of this, endless warmth swelled in his heart, and he smiled and said to the old man: "It seems that the crazy girl has already judged the financial matter." ”

The old man sighed and said: "My Ruan family seems to have many heirs, but the only one who can really inherit the mantle and be better than the blue is Ruan Yu." Silly boy, being able to marry such a wife is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes! You can marry the Cai family's girl and my family's crazy girl in one breath, how many good deeds you have done in your previous life, and how many merits you have cultivated to bear fruit!"

The two were talking, but they heard footsteps outside the door, and the old man put on an oxygen mask unhurriedly and slowly closed his eyes again.

Li Yundao couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, this stubborn ancestor was playing with a child's temper!

Pushing the door in, there was a noble lady fifty miles away, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a silk scarf, looking very intellectual. Pushing open the door and seeing Li Yundao there, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yundao came to see the ancestor?"

Li Yundao smiled and nodded: "Yes, auntie, I heard that the ancestor was sick, I don't worry, I finally went back to the capital, I can't do my filial piety!"

The noblewoman's name is Ding Yun, and she is one of the famous female economists in the country, that is, Ruan Xiaoliu's biological mother.

Ding Yun looked at the old man on the hospital bed, then looked at Li Yundao, and said with a smile: "Young people have filial piety, this is a good thing. Then you talk to your grandmother first, and I'll come back later in the evening." ”

Li Yundao was willing to miss this opportunity to communicate directly with Ding Yun, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, I just met you today, I encountered a little professional matter, and I want to ask you for advice." ”

Ding Yun looked at Li Yundao in surprise and asked, "Aren't you the director of the public security bureau?"

Li Yundao smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's still the same, but there is one more piece of work in charge." As you know, the local government is now also focusing on economic indicators, and if you want to make progress, you have to learn more skills. ”

Ding Yun smiled and nodded, "Okay, since you have a problem, then come to my study to talk!"

Before leaving, Li Yundao patted the old man's hand gently: "Grandma, I'll take the time to come and see you." ”

On the way to the study with Ding Yun, Li Yundao did not mention anything about the free trade zone, but kept introducing the basic situation of Jiangzhou and some conflicts between economic development and environmental protection to Ding Yun.
