Chapter 942: Father and Son (1)
Song Bingsheng was in charge of agriculture and went to Huaishan to inspect the work; Shen Huai and Hu Shuwei came to visit and inspect the work; apart from staying in the Huaishan Hotel, the two groups of people could not go to Huaishan together.
Although it is taboo to value the son over the father and the humble over the respectful, no rule can resist the temptation of practical interests.
Wei Fuming, as a member of the Huaihai Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Huaishan Municipal Party Committee, is an old man promoted by Tao Guoquan, the former secretary of the provincial party committee, but he has some contradictions with Su Weijun.
Wei Fuming also knew that Song Bingsheng and Shen Huai's father and son were very estranged, and Shen Huai almost always went to Xucheng without entering the house.
Whether to accompany Vice Governor Song Bingsheng, or to accompany Shen Huai and Hu Shuwei, Wei Fuming also struggled in his heart, and finally decided to accompany Shen Huai to Longshui Township to see the site selection site of the Longshui Hydropower Station with Yang Kai, the deputy mayor in charge of industry and electric power.
Not to mention the promotion of local economic development by the Longshui Hydropower Station and the thousands of jobs that the project can directly provide to the local government, the hundreds of millions of dollars that Dongjiang Power will pay to the local government for resettlement in the future alone are enough to make Huaishan city officials flock to it.
Wei Fuming also knows that once the construction of the Long Hydropower Station starts, a large number of building materials will be supplied by local enterprises, and some earthworks will be handed over to local enterprises to undertake, which will have a lot of benefits and opportunities for revitalization.
Although Song Bingsheng is the vice governor, he has only been in charge of agriculture for many years, and his authority is limited.
Anyway, if he accompanies his son or not Lao Tzu, Wei Fuming guessed that no matter how unhappy Song Bingsheng was, he couldn't open his mouth to count his mistakes.
*****************
The approach road to Longshui will not be officially opened to traffic until the end of July, but the roadbed has been tamped and can be used for vehicles.
It was raining lightly, and Shen Huai and Hu Shuwei, accompanied by Wei Fuming, secretary of the Huaishan Municipal Party Committee, and others, got up early to go to Longshui Township to see the preparations for the site selection of the dam and diversion weir.
Unable to rush back to Xucheng from Huaishan today, and returning to Huaishan City a little earlier, Shen Huai decided to rush to Tengyou Township with Hu Shuwei to take a look at the geological conditions of the Tengyou Power Station site.
Tengyou Power Station is the second large-scale cascade power station planned to be built in Huaishan City, and no preparatory work has yet been started.
However, as long as the ultra-high voltage backbone power grid between Jiangning and Huaixi is built, the power can be continuously exported to the coastal areas of East China, and the capital supply of Dongjiang Power is not a problem, and the construction of the remaining two large-scale cascade power stations in Huaishan City will be very fast.
It was not included in the itinerary, Shen Huai originally planned to go with Hu Shuwei and the two of them to go over at will, so that they could have a basic understanding of the situation in Tengyou Township; Wei Fuming was very enthusiastic and insisted on accompanying him throughout the whole process.
The road further upstream, Tengyou Township, is very bad, said to be a gravel road, but there is no sand and gravel left on the road, which is potholed and lacks necessary maintenance for passing vehicles. It caught up with the spring rain for several days, and the road was muddy.
Shen Huai and Hu Shuwei came out, accompanied by Wei Fuming, Yang Kai and other Huaishan City officials, all in ordinary cars, and they almost went all the way to Tengyou.
Although in addition to the entourage in Huaishan City, there are also many people in the county and township who rushed to accompany them, and the car fell into the mud pit, and there was no need for Shen Huai, Hu Shuwei, and Wei Fuming to personally push the car out of the mud pit, but on a rainy day, it was so repeated that people were so tired that they were so tired that they turned over when they went to Tengyou Township.
Most of the day was spent on the road, and when I rushed to the Tengyou Township Government, the sky was already dark, and the idea of returning to Huaishan City before dark was only in vain.
Tengyou Township is a poor place, there is no hotel that is right, and Tengyou Township is dozens of kilometers away from the county and the city. Not to mention that such muddy road conditions are difficult to walk at night, and there are several sections of the road next to the cliffs, and it is dangerous to drive at night.
No matter how difficult the conditions are, everyone can only rest in Longyou Township at night.
The streets of Tengyou Township are very narrow, and they are still traditional stone roads, which are wet when it rains, and the headlights are shining.
The township government is a large courtyard enclosed by a rammed earth wall facing the street, in which several rows of red brick houses plastered with lime and whitening are set up.
Neither the township nor the county expected that Wei Fuming, secretary of the municipal party committee, would accompany the guests to stay in the township - at first they even said that they didn't even need to prepare dinner in the township - and they were in a hurry for a while before inviting Wei Fuming, Shen Huai, and Hu Shuwei to a restaurant opposite the township government for dinner.
This restaurant is a designated hospitality unit of the township government, and it is only a three-story small building with accommodation, and the façade is pasted with white tiles, which is already a very imposing building on the street a few hundred meters before and after the Tengyou Township Government.
Looking at the large light bulb with 200 watts, the gate of the courtyard was illuminated brightly, and the rain shone with silver light in the light. Shen Huai and the others walked in, and there were two big roosters strutting in the yard, pulling two pieces of and running away.
Wei Fuming, Yang Kai, and others vigorously said that the conditions were simple and asked Shen Huai and Hu Shuwei to bear with them, but the cadres in the county and township could not interject at all, and cautiously followed behind, lest something go wrong, and they were afraid that the diners who were already living downstairs would shout out something abrupt, which would make the secretary of the municipal party committee unhappy.
As soon as everyone arrived in the box on the second floor, Zhou Yan, deputy secretary of the Huaishan Municipal Party Committee, received a phone call, and he immediately ran to Wei Fuming's side to whisper.
Seeing Wei Fuming's embarrassed face, Shen Huai asked, "What happened?"
Wei Fuming said: "Vice Governor Song and the others went to Zhengze County in the morning to inspect agriculture and forestry work. Vice Governor Song and the others plan to return to Zhengze County in the evening and continue to inspect Zhengze tomorrow. However, in the afternoon, the road back to Zhengze County was blocked by a mudslide, and Vice Governor Song and his party were rushing from Dongfang Forest Farm to the city - they didn't know how difficult the road from this side to the city was......
Wei Fuming also didn't know what irresolvable resentment there was between Vice Governor Song Bingsheng and Shen Huai, the father and son, but Song Bingsheng didn't even ask them to tell Shen Huai that he was in Huaishan at the city government guest hotel last night, and the resentment between the father and son was naturally shallow.
At this time, Vice Governor Song Bingsheng and his entourage were taken to Tengyou Township to settle down temporarily, Wei Fuming knew that he would be embarrassed to be with Shen Huai's father and son, but if Song Bingsheng was allowed to walk back to the city on the mountain road overnight, in case of a rollover accident, who would be able to bear the responsibility?
Shen Huai didn't know how far the Dongfang Forest Farm was from here, but listening to Wei Fuming's tone, it should be very close to this side, and it should be said that they were going to take Teng You and their group to Teng You to get together in the evening.
Shen Huai nodded, echoed Wei Fuming's words, and said: "Walking over, it is also driving all the way and sinking all the way, and it is more difficult to walk at night." ”
Hearing what Shen Huai said, Wei Fuming stood up, took the phone from Zhou Yan's hand and walked outside the door, presumably to call Song Bingsheng in person, and asked the escorts to come to Tengyou Township with Song Bingsheng to meet them.
**********************
A body, integrated into the memories and lives of two people, will become weaker on that side.
The relationship with his "father", Shen Huai for a long time, indifferent to consider interests, to this stubborn, conservative and somewhat pedantic "father" can even be said to be disdainful, the trip to northern Yunnan after the year, seeing that the lonely grave is not there, the remains do not exist, Shen Huai's memory of that resentment has become deeper and clearer.
Anyway, hearing the sound of chickens and dogs barking when the car entered the yard, Wei Fuming stood up and prepared to go downstairs to greet him, and Shen Huai couldn't stick his butt to the bench and not move.
No matter how fierce the contradictions at home are, they can't let outsiders watch the excitement, and Shen Huai also doesn't understand what kind of mentality his "father" had last night, and deliberately asked Wei Fuming not to mention that he was in Huaishan?
Hu Shuwei, Yang Kai, Du Jian and others naturally accompanied Shen Huai and Wei Fuming downstairs to greet Song Bingsheng and his party.
It was still raining, the incandescent lights illuminated the yard white, and there were puddles everywhere, and the driver didn't notice that the puddles on the side of the parking would be particularly deep when he parked - Song Bingsheng watched Wei Fuming go downstairs in the car, and wanted to look more natural, so he pushed the car door and got out of the car first, but he didn't expect to step on a big puddle and almost fall into a dog and eat.
Fortunately, Zheng Gang got out of the car behind him first, hurriedly hugged him, and did not fall into the puddle, but his shoes were filled with water, and his pants were wet, and he was also very embarrassed.
Shen Huai looked at it, but his heart was secretly refreshed.
The conditions in Tengyou Township are simple, the yard is muddy and potholes, and no one can say anything.
Song Bingsheng didn't need his subordinates to come over to offer an umbrella again, and walked to the eaves of the corridor closely, and Wei Fuming was shabby, as if it was very ordinary to ask Shen Huai, who was standing under the eaves: "Why didn't you hear that you are also coming to Huaishan this time?"
"Hu Shuwei temporarily pulled me over. Shen Huai said in a bland, as if they really didn't know that each other lived in the Huaishan Hotel.
Seeing that Ren Min, who was wearing a small suit and his chest was tight, also got out of his "father's" car, Shen Huai pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and had no intention of being shabby with this woman.
Ren Min was not transferred to the General Office of the Provincial Government after all, but the Provincial Department of Agriculture also entered the Party Group and was responsible for the work of the Discipline Inspection Team.
Everyone exchanged a few words under the eaves of the porch, and then went upstairs to sit down for a banquet.
Song Bingsheng seemed to want to try his best to show that he had a normal relationship with Shen Huai's father and son in front of outsiders, and after taking his seat, he asked from time to time about the delivery of Huai Dian, but Shen Huai did not answer a word.
When he was about to finish eating, Song Bingsheng mentioned it unintentionally: "Secretary Zhong talked to me a few days ago. Secretary Zhong is considering nominating you to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee after the year, and I told Secretary Zhong that you are still young and inexperienced, and sitting in too high a position now will not be beneficial to your future development. ”
Shen Huai stopped the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at his "father", and said in a very light tone: "Oh, Secretary Zhong didn't talk to me about this," as if he didn't take the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee in his eyes at all, and asked again, "Secretary Zhong will talk to you about this matter?"
