The sun rises and the moon sets, time passes, and the day reaches the 28th of February.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the graduation ceremony of the "Department and Department-level Cadres Seminar" of the Central Party School had just been completed, and all the students were full of joy and excitement. Some people are reluctant to leave for a long time, their eyes are still on the scenery of the auditorium, and they want to continue to feel the sacredness and * here, some people hold their cameras and press the shutter from time to time, they want to make this moment eternal, some people have red faces, and they talk endlessly, expressing the joy and feelings in their hearts, and some people have bright eyes, their eyes are full of anticipation and yearning, thinking about their dreams many years later.

It's no wonder that these people are excited and excited, and it's no wonder that these departments and departments have become much more naïve and superficial all of a sudden. It not only left his footprints for dozens of days, which is not only the political wealth of his life, but also the starting point of the next new journey, and an important step towards a more brilliant tomorrow.

Today's graduation ceremony was very grand, not only the vice presidents were present, but also the presidents of the day. Normally, the principal would only be seen on the TV news, but today there is a chance to look directly at each other, how can people not be excited?

Chu Tianqi was equally excited, equally excited, and had been excited throughout the ceremony, as if the excitement of many days had been concentrated at this moment. After the meeting ended, he was reluctant to leave for a long time, and also took photos with the enthusiastic senior brothers and sisters. It's not easy to come here once, it's even more difficult to come here as a present, I don't know when I'll wait for the next time, and I don't know if I can have such a chance again, he wants to seize the last moment and feel everything here.

Chu Tianqi returned to the party school on the afternoon of 26 February, and he came back from a telephone call from Professor Yang, and when he returned to the party school, the people who had inspected and investigated had just returned. As soon as everyone met, Chu Tianqi paid attention to the results of people's research, but people were interested in his experience during his departure. Of course, people are all "official oils" who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they will not ask openly, but there is a meaning of listening between the lines. Chu Tianqi could neither tell him bluntly nor clearly refuse, so he gave a vague answer with officialdom clichés.

Despite the reluctance, the people walked out of the auditorium before half past five.

On the steps, in the courtyard, parting words were spoken, wishes were spoken to each other, and then people got into the cars they had been waiting for and left this sacred place.

The courtyard was quiet, the house was empty, most of the people had already embarked on the way back, or gathered at the leisure and banquet places, only Chu Tianqi remained in the dormitory. He was nostalgic for this place, but it wasn't because he didn't leave, but because he didn't know where to go. Under normal circumstances, he should naturally return to Chengkang, and his working relationship is still there.

But what are you going to do when you go back? To make jokes to others? But if you don't go back, where can you go? Can you never go back? Obviously not, and the organizational procedures don't allow it. But Chu Tianqi really didn't want to go back now, so he had to rub around in the dormitory, which was supposed to be a matter of a few minutes, but he cleaned up for more than half an hour, and the zipper of the trolley box had not finally been closed. The excitement of participating in the ceremony had gradually dissipated, and his heart was filled with endless emptiness and confusion.

"Ding Woo Bang", the mobile phone rings.

Glancing at the caller ID, Chu Tianqi pressed the answer button.

"Mayor, the graduation ceremony is over, and I'll pick you up right away. The sound of a sharp sword came from the phone.

"You're coming to pick me up, you're too free, aren't you?" Chu Tianqi said with a smile.

The mobile phone sounded with the laughter of "hehe": "Mayor, the main thing is that I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I miss you." Aijia and I are off work and are ready to pick you up together. ”

Chu Tianqi said "oh": "The captain of the criminal police drove, and the leader of the organization department came to pick it up in person, which is big enough." But it's too pompous, so don't bother the two, you still have to do your job. After a pause, he added, "I'm not going to go back today, I have to do something more." ”

"Mayor, when are you coming back? I'll pick you up again?" asked Lijian.

"When the time comes, Chengkang City will send a car to pick it up, so you don't have to worry about it. After a pause, Chu Tianqi teased, "Don't use me as a pretense if you want to go out for a tryst, I don't want to be tricked by you." ”

Li Jian continued to insist: "Then call before you come back, I'll ......"

"Okay, hang up, someone is waiting, I have to go out to socialize. After speaking, Chu Tianqi directly pressed the red button.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Chu Tianqi's heart was very warm, and he couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Chu Tianqi understood that Li Jian wanted to bring his "wife" to pick him up, and he did want to see him, but the more important thing was to comfort his soul. They are now one of them, and they are worried that Chengkang City will treat them slowly and will not send a vehicle to pick them up, so they have to make this move. Their kindness, Chu Tian received it together, but he couldn't accept this kindness. What's more, Chengkang City has already said that he will send a car, even if he doesn't send a car, he can't do it, which not only shows that he is incompetent, but also bad for Li Jian and Li Aijia.

"Ding Dong", a short prompt sounded.

Chu Tianqi clicked on the short message, and a line of text jumped out: Tianqi, are you coming back today, will you come back tomorrow, when will you come back? Inform me in advance, I will send a car to pick it up.

After thinking about it, Chu Tianqi replied: Thank you Secretary Jiang for your concern, don't use it for the time being.

Soon, the text message came back again: Okay. Tell me before you come back.

Chu Tianqi didn't reply and put away his phone.

In fact, in the past two days, not only Jiang Xia and Li Jian were concerned about the return trip, but Wei Tongsuo also made a special phone call to talk about the dispatch of the car, and also said that he wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust. In the face of these concerns, Chu Tianqi politely refused, he hadn't thought about what to do next, he wanted to calm down here and think about it for another day or two.

"Ding Woo", the phone rings again.

Thinking teasingly, Chu Tianqi took out his mobile phone again, and when he saw the words "Professor Yang" on the screen, he knew that he had guessed wrong. Pressing the answer button, Chu Tianqi shouted respectfully: "Professor Yang." ”

"Chu Tianqi, where are you?" a voice came from the phone.

"I ...... I was in the dorm room and was about to leave. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi pulled on the zipper of the trolley suitcase.

Professor Yang said "oh": "That's right, now go to the gate of the party school and take all the things." ”

"Okay. As soon as Chu Tianqi agreed, there was no sound in the mobile phone.

Professor Yang was looking for me, what is the matter? Chu Tianqi checked his things again, and found that there was nothing missing, so he dragged the trolley box and left the dormitory.

Taking the elevator to the first floor, Chu Tianqi handed over the dormitory key to the communication room, walked out of the dormitory building, and went straight to the gate.

At the entrance of the party school, inside and outside the door, no shadow of Professor Yang was found. I was about to call back the phone when I heard the sound of a whistle ringing in my ears. Turning his head, an off-road vehicle was driving along the side of the road, the windows were slowly rolled down, and a man with sunglasses was sitting in the driver's seat, waving frequently.

Although it was dark, and although the other party was wearing sunglasses, Chu Tianqi still recognized the other party at a glance. He subconsciously looked at the car, but it was not the same one last time.

The buggy honked again, and the trunk slowly opened.

Chu Tianqi hesitated slightly, put the trolley box in the trunk of the car, opened the right rear side door, and sat down.

The man in sunglasses took off his sunglasses, said "I asked Professor Yang to call", then manipulated the steering wheel and drove the off-road vehicle forward.

Seeing that the direction of the car was similar to last time, Chu Tianqi said, "Uncle Wei Hua, where are you going? I won't go there." ”

It was Xu Weihua who was driving, and he didn't answer the question directly, but corrected: "Tianqi, I'm your uncle, don't shout so rusty." ”

Chu Tianqi hesitated: "Yes, Wei ...... Uncle. Although he didn't think about how to get along with the Xu family, he couldn't disobey the other party's will in the face of this elder who thought about himself everywhere.

"Find a place to eat first. After saying this, Xu Weihua stopped saying nothing and drove the car forward.

……

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Tianqi appeared in a residential building in the capital, and was brought by Xu Weihua after dinner.

Flicked the cigarette ash in the ashtray, Xu Weihua opened his mouth: "Tianqi, if you hadn't asked Professor Yang to find you today, my uncle wouldn't have seen you, and I wouldn't answer the phone or reply to the text messages." How long are you going to hide?"

"I didn't ...... No, it's not. I said twice, and Chu Tianqi didn't say a reason.

"I know that there have been a lot of things in the past few days and you need to have an adaptation process, but one thing is for sure, we are close relatives, and blood is thicker than water. This is not a question of whether you accept it or not, but an objective fact that none of us can deny. Xu Weihua's words were serious, "Although you just knew about these things, I was ready to greet you a year ago, but the old man barely woke up halfway, and this matter was delayed again and again." I am your own uncle, and it is my responsibility to take care of you, and you must also accept this kind of care from me. ”

Although the other party's words sounded a little domineering, they were also the strong family affection of the elders for the juniors, and Chu Tianqi was not easy to say anything, so he did not pick up.

"Of course, you can't adjust for a while, both because of the alienation with our dear relatives and because of the attachment to the Xiongfei couple, who have raised you for many years. Don't worry, they have nurtured you and are the benefactors of our Xu family, Xiongfei is still the old man's guard for many years, and we will definitely not treat them badly. When the old man wakes up, we will meet to decide on a way to properly arrange them. Speaking of this, Xu Weihua patted the other party's arm gently, "Tianqi, I know you are very filial, and this is what our old Xu family has always advocated." Taking care of Xiongfei and his wife is also doing our duty for you, and we have the responsibility to do so, because you are a descendant of the Xu family. ”

Uncle's words were very reasonable, but Chu Tianqi still didn't answer, he hadn't thought about many things yet.

Seeing that Chu Tianqi was still silent, Xu Weihua changed the topic: "Tianqi, what do you think about the next step?"

"I listen to the organization. Chu Tianqi replied.

Xu Weihua shook his head: "No, you have to listen to me." ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianqi raised his head violently, his eyes staring at the other party tightly.
