Early in the morning, Yan Yong arrived. [Ran^Text^Library] []

As soon as he entered the compound of the municipal party committee, Tan Pingshan saw Yan Yong's green off-road vehicle parked under the office building from a distance, so he motioned to the driver to drive the car to the front and stop, walked to the front of the car and knocked on the window glass. smiled and said, "You kid, have you eaten so early?" ”

"Nope." Seeing Tan Pingshan, Yan Yong hurriedly got out of the car, looked at Tan Pingshan with a smile, and said honestly.

"Why don't we go eat together", Tan Pingshan cordially asked Yan Yong's opinion, and after seeing Yan Yong shaking his head and refusing, he couldn't help but say hatefully: "You kid, you always don't have this habit, and you are almost fifty years old, and your body will protest sooner or later." ”

"How can I have time!" Yan Yong turned around and opened the car door and took out his shoulder bag from the car, followed Tan Pingshan into the municipal party committee building with a few steps, and said as he walked: "I came out before seven o'clock in the morning, I'm afraid you will come early if you have a lot of things to do in the morning." ”

Tan Pingshan waved his hand to stop Yan Yong's explanation, walked straight to the office, and said to Xiao Han, the secretary who greeted him: "I'll talk to Yan about something, don't let people in yet." As he spoke, he walked into the office, motioned for Yan Yong to sit down first, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a pack of biscuits, walked over and handed it to Yan Yong, "Let's pad it first", as he spoke, he picked up the teacup and poured water for Yan Yong, "Something?" ”

"It's a bit of a thing, but I still want to see you." Yan Yong put the biscuits on the coffee table, turned around and took his satchel, and said while taking things out: "I brought you two bags of tea, these are all good tea!" ”

"There's money to burn." Tan Pingshan looked at Yan Yong, his voice was a little unhappy, "Can't you save some money?" Every time you come back, you change your tricks, what about your big brother? ”

"Anyway, it's more generous than you", Yan Yong finished taking the things, looked straight at Tan Pingshan, said unceremoniously, and then changed the topic, and said with a hippie smile: "But I didn't buy it, it was sent by your niece's unit." The bank is really good, in addition to not sending a daughter-in-law, everything is sent, and it is really high-grade, you look at this tea, the authentic West Lake Longjing, the taste is very good. ”

"And the smoke is also made? What unit gives cigarettes to female employees, you can also introduce one to me. Tan Pingshan still refuses to forgive.

"The old man sent it, no!" Yan Yong knew that Tan Pingshan was unhappy, but he also bumped into it unceremoniously. "Smoke, who smokes or not, how many things."

"Pump, smoke, you'll be happy if I smoke to death." Having said that, Tan Pingshan still said that the cigarettes and tea were picked up and put in the cabinet.

He had no way to deal with Yan Yong, and he didn't want to have any way. Tan Pingshan has had a principle for so many years, if you don't eat, please don't accept gifts, and even more oppose subordinates visiting their homes for any reason. Recently, a county cadre proposed to visit Huifen at home, and he stared at her and asked, "Do you know her, or do you have any friendships, why do you want to see her?" Isn't it still to see me? It is better to turn this corner, spend this effort to do something, and do your own thing well than anything else. ”

The people who were blocked by the words couldn't get off the stage, and they also made a big red face for others, and there were also things that were given by others to let people take them back in person, but it was only the end of it, and they would never hand over gifts or property to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and they would no longer care about it later. Courtesy is still the common feeling of people, but human favor can not be accepted, but it cannot be blasphemed.

After a long time, the people below understood Tan Pingshan's habits and taboos, and the gifts went around him, and they didn't dare to go home during the New Year's holiday. This has spread widely in Qinghe City and even in Hohai Province.

Yan Yong didn't care, not only didn't he care, but he had to make a special trip to come over or pass by if he had nothing to do, and brought some cigarettes, wine, tea, etc., some of which were indeed issued by Xiaobei Bank, and some were bought with money. It's not easy for the eldest brother, the sister-in-law and Xiaomei, he is exhausted from tossing, and his upright temperament, there are too many enemies at work, and he feels too much to do anything for him, this kind of behavior is support and help.

Tan Pingshan and Yan Yong are old comrades-in-arms, who participated in the famous self-defense counterattack together, and are iron buddies who came back from life and death on the battlefield, not only have the comradeship of life and death together, but also Yan Yong's life-saving benefactor.

In the war situation and political needs at that time, the military adopted a rapid blitzkrieg operation, which advanced quickly and retreated quickly; moreover, the tasks of various units were different and the methods were also different, and there was very little overall coordination and coordination, and many times it was a skirmish fought in a situation where the enemy and the enemy intersected. When the troops retreated, Yan Yong's leg was unfortunately injured, and Tan Pingshan also lost contact with the company in order to treat Yan Yong. Faced with the danger of falling behind, as well as the small group of enemy troops that may be attacked at any time, Tan Pingshan not only did not panic, but also tried his best to appease the emotions of Yan Yong, a new recruit, and walked for more than a day to catch up with the large army, and he was only a small platoon commander at that time, and Yan Yong was three years old. This experience has made Tan Pingshan and Yan Yong's comradeship closer, although they have become very big since then, the relationship has been consistent for decades, and the only thing that remains unchanged is family affection and friendship.

Since he had that life-saving grace and returned to the army after recovering from his injuries, when Yan Yong saw Tan Pingshan again, when he solemnly shouted the platoon commander's report with tears in his eyes, he was scolded loudly by Tan Pingshan: "What platoon commander, call brother." Since then, Yan Yong has always called Tan Pingshan his brother, and he does not add a surname, as if he is his own brother, Tan Pingshan went to military school soon after the end of the Southern War, Yan Yong retired from the army a few years later, returned to the provincial capital Hezhou City as a public security officer, as long as he has time, he will run to Tan's house in Qinghe City, and treat Tan Pingshan's parents closer than his own parents. No matter how busy the work is, I always have to go once or twice a month, that is, I left Hezhou City to go to Beijing to attend to the Public Security University for a few years, and I also returned to Hezhou City during the winter and summer vacations, and I must get off at Qinghe City first, and the first stop is always the Tan family, so that the "Xiaoyong Xiaoyong" that the old lady often talks about makes my brother jealous. After that, whether his brother was in the army or went to a military school, Yan Yong was responsible for the affairs of the Tan family, and it was the same after his brother got married, but he avoided the relationship between his sister-in-law Zhang Huifen, who used to live at home when he came at night, but now he tries to come at noon, and he leaves as soon as he finishes his work, and rarely eats at home. After my brother had a child Xiaomei, the child was like his own flesh and blood, so much so that his daughter Xiaobei said that Yan Yong was Xiaomei's father, no wonder, since he was a child, he played with Xiaomei, riding horses, playing guns, swimming and fighting, these big boys played, he let Xiaomei early, so that his sister-in-law Zhang Huifen had opinions, complaining that his brother did not uphold justice, and his brother said very easily: "What do you care about him, that's his girl." "The child has meningitis caused by a high fever, and for a long time it seems that Yan Yong's life has been killed, and the hospital he can go to, whether it is Qinghe, Hezhou, or Beijing, has run all over and seen it all, but he always feels guilty in his heart, feeling that the eldest brother is in the army, he did not take good care of Xiaomei, and when Wanfen was in the past, he always took Xiaomei over to live for a few months or half a year every year, and gave her the best care. For a long time, he and his brother often couldn't distinguish between the names of the old man, and only later did they agree that our father and mother were Yan Yong's parents, and our father and mother were my brother's parents.

Tan Pingshan transferred to Qinghe City, moved more diligently, and the relationship became closer, whether it was in an enterprise or an institution, the two families were like relatives, there was no utilitarianism, and there was no care.

Tan Pingshan has no political ambitions, and treats himself and his career very blandly. He was accustomed to eating and drinking at home, and whenever he had the opportunity, he always made a few dishes at home and drank to his heart's content. In his words, two pig's trotters, a bag of peanuts, and a bottle of Lao Baigan are not worth sending and there is no need to take them. But because of integrity, his wife has worked in the workshop for many years, whether he is a secretary or in the city, his wife has always been a front-line worker, neither adjusting her work, nor taking any care, and repeatedly refusing the care and arrangement of the enterprise. In his words, his wife has no education, no culture, what do you do with that heart, hurt that god, have worked in the production line for decades, and have rich practical skills and experience, which can not only reflect her own skills, but also handle the relationship between sisters with ease, not to mention being respected. His wife was laid off a few years ago, and Yan Yong was going to arrange for him to be an assistant manager at the local police station, but he immediately stopped it, "Don't be kidding, you're not afraid that your sister-in-law will take care of you, forget it, I'll retire in a few years, don't toss anymore, now the burden on the family is light, and there is no shortage of money." And clearly told Yan Yong not to make trouble, "The county officials are better in charge now, I am a dignified leader of the municipal party committee, and I still need your help to arrange a job?" Who knew that not long after being laid off, Huifen would have a cerebral hemorrhage and cause hemiplegia, which made the family even worse.

"Passing by or making a special trip?" Tan Pingshan sat down next to Yan Yong and asked with concern, "How are your parents?" ”

"Okay, the body is great, and the food is delicious." Yan Yong said naughtily, picked up the biscuit and tore open the bag, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, making it all Ulu Ulu to speak, but he still didn't forget to say to Tan Pingshan: "There are steamed buns from my mother in my plastic bag, you can taste one, I can't say that it tastes great." ”

"The old lady asked you to bring the buns on the road, but you came to mix my biscuits." Tan Pingshan stared at Yan Yong, walked to the desk, picked up a bun and ate it in a big gulp, muttering while chewing: "It's good to have an old lady, it's so good, you kid is blessed, there are still people who are worried about being almost fifty years old." Tan Pingshan said emotionally, his eyes were inexplicably moist.

"Where, this is the steamed bun that the old lady steamed yesterday, doesn't this know that I am going to the plains today, let me bring a few to Tianxiang to eat, how can I have such a big face." Yan Yong saw that Tan Pingshan was emotional, and knew that it was this bun that aroused his nostalgia for his mother, so he deliberately pretended to be sour and said, "I don't have Tianxiang's white face!" ”

"Okay, don't be cheap." Tan Pingshan immediately regained his natural demeanor, said dissatisfiedly, looked at Yan Yong and did not speak again.

"There are some signs over there, go over and feel the situation." Yan Yong restrained his naughty expression and said seriously.

"Which one?" Tan Pingshan asked with concern, but his heart was warm. He knew that it was not necessary to cross the Qinghe River to go from Hezhou City, the provincial capital, to Pingyuan County, which not only took more than 100 kilometers of high-speed, but also had to go on and off the road. Looking at Yan Yong's gobbling up, he couldn't help but say sharply, "You eat slowly." ”

"Alright." took a sip of tea, swallowed the biscuits in his mouth, raised the biscuit bag in his hand, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I didn't plan to come to the agency, I'm afraid of disturbing my sister-in-law's rest too early." As he spoke, he said: "Over there in the mountains, this kid may not only be involved in the forcible appropriation of resources and the nature of the underworld, but also involved in pornography, gambling, drugs and so on. Yan Yong briefly introduced the situation, "And it may also launder money and arrange things for some people." ”

"It seems that this person is not simple, a big net has been woven in the past two years, I don't know how many people have been caught in the net, not only those officials in the plains, but also some people in Qinghe and even the province." Tan Pingshan gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "Hateful." ”

"That's not all." Yan Yong was also a little excited, "In terms of land acquisition and demolition, real estate development, and coal mining, Gao Shan used money to establish a huge interest group, not only Pingyuan County and Qinghe City, but also the provincial capital Hezhou City and even the province have others to help him stand and cheer, the provincial department has preliminarily grasped some evidence, and also made a report to the province, the department assigned our team to be fully responsible for this case, ready to defeat this gang in one fell swoop at the right time." ”

"We have to cut off this cancer attached to our system, and if it is allowed to exist, it will harm more cadres," Tan Pingshan patted Yan Yong on the shoulder and said, "We also have some information here, and we can take joint action if necessary." ”

Yan Yong nodded and said, "Brother is indispensable. As he spoke, Yan Yong walked to the window by throwing the biscuit bag, looked out the window and looked stunned for a while, and said with emotion: "It's the season of melons and fruits again." Saying that, he turned around, looked at Tan Pingshan and said, "Brother, do you remember Milan in Beihai?" ”

"Of course I do." Tan Pingshan narrowed his eyes, as if he had returned to that passionate era, "I have always thought that Milan flowers are ornamental flowers that grow in pots, they are the kind of miniature plants that make people serve and care, and only pleasing people with their fragrance and color, but later I found out that I was wrong, and I was so ignorant and so completely wrong." ”

Beihai in the Southwest Autonomous Region was the place where they concentrated when they went abroad to participate in the war. Originally, it was just a small fishing village, located in a corner of southern Xinjiang, and it was a place for temporary military training. The station is a private house, and the temporary residence is not so particular, that is, rows of two-story typical southern style houses, behind the window is the patio, several bungalows are surrounded by a group, the patio is a tall and thick tree, the tree is higher than the three-story house, the huge canopy covers the whole courtyard tightly, although the sun is strong, the scattered in the courtyard is only mottled and fragmented light and shadow, just like the fine leaves and white flowers on the tree.

It was only a long time later that I realized that it was Milan, the thick oval slightly pointed green leaves, the clean little white flowers that bloomed like a girl shy among the branches and leaves. The soldiers from the north have almost never seen such a big Milan tree, in their understanding of Milan is a flower in a pot, when the flowers bloom elegant, fragrant, when there are no flowers, plain, quiet, all of a sudden I like this elegant, fragrant, and which clean silver beach.

Silver Beach lives up to its name, a bay in the waters of the Beibu Gulf, the tide rises and falls over time, the fine sea sand washes the gray and white, the dazzling sun shines on the white and dazzling beach, and the blue sea water sets off, the sand of Silver Beach is really white.

So that after going abroad for a long time, I can't forget that Milan and Silver Beach, in fact, it is not just an actual nostalgia, but an infinite meaning, for these soldiers who went abroad to fight for the first time in their lives, Milan and Silver Beach are the motherland and the mother.

"Don't sensationalize, do the right thing", Yan Yong wiped his face, as if he had erased the good memories and tenderness of the past, "I don't have time to think about the past." "Say you want to go. Tan Pingshan stopped him and said with concern: "Go and see Tianxiang, this brother has been choking for the past two days." ”

"This is also one of the purposes of coming, the old man and the old lady are very worried about this precious son-in-law." Yan Yong said with a big grin: "Actually, everyone has lost their eyes, this kid seems to be weak, but in fact, he has a solid inner skin, and his ability to resist pressure is really not underestimated." ”

"I think so too, I called him yesterday and it feels okay." said in an accentuated tone, "This brother and father are not mistaken. ”

"That's, you don't see who the old man is?" Yan Yong waved his hand, "Let's go, take time to drink a few drinks another day." ”

Looking at Yan Yong's majestic back and leaving the office, Tan Pingshan let out a long breath, this kid is resolute, he must have some Shang Fang sword, but this is okay, the provincial department can still reduce some resistance, especially the interference from Qinghe.

Thinking like this, Tan Pingshan called the secretary Xiao Han and said briefly: "Let's go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau." ”
