With Zhao Changfeng's support, the old man staggered towards the provincial political axe. The provincial political axe is still nearly two hundred meters away from here, and if it weren't for Zhao Changfeng's support, the old man really didn't know how long he would have to walk. Even so, the old man made three breaks on the road before he completed the less than 200-meter distance.

While resting on the side of the road, the old man told Zhao Changfeng the reason why he went to the provincial political axe, and it turned out that the old man was looking for the new vice governor Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang was directly promoted from the vice mayor of Zhongzhou City to the vice governor of Zhongyuan Province. The direct promotion from a deputy prefecture-level cadre to a vice-provincial-level cadre is not only unique in the history of Central Plains Province, but also very rare even in the whole country. But this unbelievable thing on others seems so natural to Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang's father was one of the founding fathers of the Republic,* who was overthrown in the early days, imprisoned in Central Plains Province, and finally died unjustly in Central Plains Province. In the early eighties, under the personal interrogation of Deng Gong, Zhao Qiang's father rehabilitated Zhaoxue.

After his father was rehabilitated Zhaoxue, Zhao Qiang took the initiative to ask to go to Central Plains Province to work in the last place where his father lived, and finally became an ordinary staff member of Zhongzhou Municipal Axe. After that, Zhao Qiang was promoted all the way, and in just ten years, he was promoted from an ordinary agency staff member to the deputy mayor of Zhongzhou City, and finally became the vice governor of Zhongyuan Province.

For such a rapid promotion path, putting it on others will definitely cause all kinds of criticism. However, for Zhao Qiang's rocket-like promotion speed, both the official and the people of Central Plains Province have rarely maintained a kind of generosity, and no rumors have come out. Perhaps, this is some kind of compensation from Central Plains Province to the founding father who died in Central Plains Province.

The old man said that his name was Zhang Changsuo, and he was Zhao Qiang's father's guard. * During the period, because he refused to expose Zhao Qiang's father, he was beaten and disabled as a counter-revolutionary, and he still has two steel plates in his legs. * Later, the political axe didn't give him an explanation, but just put him in the Central Plains Provincial Invalids Rest Home to raise him.

Originally, the old man Zhang Changsuo had no complaints about such an arrangement. There is food and drink, there are people who wash clothes, what else do you want? But things changed when Zhang Changsuo met a female caregiver in her fifties.

The caregiver took care of Zhang Changsuo very carefully and thoughtfully, which made Zhang Changsuo, who had been a bachelor all his life, feel fluctuating. When he learned that the husband of the caregiver had also died a long time ago, he began to pursue the caregiver.

After more than a year of pursuit, the caregiver finally agreed to Zhang Changsuo's pursuit, but there is a premise, she needs to go home to do the work of her children.

Unexpectedly, the children disagreed, they are all in their fifties, how can they get married again? Don't you feel shabby? Besides, even if you look for them to find a stepfather, you have to find a decent one. What's the point of finding a crippled soldier who has nothing now?

That's not all, they often went to the Invalides to insult Zhang Changsuo, saying that he was an old hooligan, seduced their mother, and even beat Zhang Changsuo.

When the caregivers stepped forward to stop her, they even scolded her mother for not knowing shame and slapped her twice.

Zhang Changsuo stopped doing it now, he could endure the insults against him, but he couldn't bear the insults and beatings of the female care workers. He rose up to fight these unscrupulous brutes. But a crippled old man who is nearly seventy years old, how can he be the opponent of a few young adults like a wolf and a tiger? The results can be imagined.

When the leaders of the Invalides heard the news, they only stopped a few of the beaters and reprimanded them lightly. In their opinion, this is a family matter, and they are not easy to interfere with, and the cause of the incident is also because Zhang Changsuo seduced other people's mothers first.

After beating Zhang Changsuo, the caretaker was also dragged away by her children and locked up at home, not allowing her to go to work at the Invalides. Zhang Changsuo can endure insults and beatings, but he can't stand not seeing his sweetheart. He has been lonely all his life, and it is easy to find a caring person, is it just that? Didn't New China stipulate freedom of love and marriage for a long time? Why can a few children interfere in the marriage of their elders now?

Zhang Changsuo's stubbornness came up, and he went to the leaders of the Invalides first. The leaders of the Invalides just smiled and said that they couldn't do anything about this kind of thing. So Zhang Changsuo ran out to find the Public Security Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau, but no department cared about him. Just when Zhang Changsuo was desperate and almost desperate, he saw a newspaper. The newspaper carried the resume of the new vice governor, Zhao Qiang.

Walk! Go to Zhongzhou and go to Zhao Qiang! But the old man's money is only enough to buy a ticket from Xinxiang to Zhongzhou City, and after getting off the bus, he has nothing, so he will appear in the dilemma of having no money to buy a ticket on the bus.

Most of Zhao Changfeng's words were believed by the old man Zhang Changsuo, but he was only skeptical of what he said about the experience of being Zhao Qiang's father's guard. But whether you believe it or not, Zhao Changfeng still decided to help the old man to the provincial political axe. There was a trace of grandpa on the old man, and Zhao Changfeng decided to help him to the end.

Located in the north of Weier Road, the Provincial Government Axe Compound is a former Soviet-style building built in the early 50s when Zhongzhou City replaced Kaifeng as the capital of Central Plains Province.

There are tall plane trees planted on both sides of the entrance of the compound, covering the sky. From the gate of the courtyard to Wei 2nd Road, there is a wide and neat asphalt road, which is 30 meters long. In the middle of this stretch of road is a yellow cordon parallel to Wei 2 Road, dividing the inside and outside into two different worlds.

To the left of the entrance to the compound, is a sentry post. An armed police soldier stood there with a spear on his back, his eyes vigilantly watching his surroundings.

Opposite this armed police soldier is a gatehouse. There was also an armed police soldier sitting in the gatehouse, with a registration form in front of him.

Zhao Changfeng held Zhang Changsuo and just crossed the cordon, and the armed police soldiers shouted: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Changfeng hurriedly laughed: "Find someone." ”

"Come and register!"

Holding Zhang Changsuo to the gatehouse, Zhao Changfeng said to the old man: "Uncle, you register here." ”

"Oh, registration, I know." Zhang Changsuo nodded repeatedly.

"Documents!" The armed police soldiers looked at Zhao Changfeng and Zhang Changsuo with suspicious eyes. Zhao Changfeng has a strong student smell on his body, although he is not wearing expensive clothes, he is clean and neat, and he looks very energetic. Zhang Changsuo had unkempt white hair, his wrinkled face was black and dirty, his shabby old-fashioned military uniform was also full of oil, and his body exuded a strong sour smell, which was similar to being called Huazi at first glance.

A college student holding an old man named Hanako to find someone in the provincial political axe is, of course, very suspicious.

Zhang Changsuo trembled and took out his invalids card and handed it to the armed police soldiers.

The armed police soldiers looked back and forth, repeatedly comparing the photos on the documents with Zhang Changsuo's appearance, and only after about five or six minutes did they spread out the invalids card next to the registration book, and then picked up a pen and said to Zhang Changsuo: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Come to Zhao Qiang." Zhang Changsuo said loudly.

"Zhao Qiang?" The armed police soldier was stunned for a moment, "Which Zhao Qiang?" ”

Zhao Changfeng hurriedly added: "Comrade, uncle is here to find Vice Governor Zhao. ”

"Vice Governor Zhao Qiang?" The thick eyebrows of the armed police soldiers were furrowed together, and their eyes were full of vigilance, "What are you looking for Vice Governor Zhao for?" ”

Zhang Changsuo grinned with only one front tooth left: "I am his father's guard, looking for him to do something." ”

The armed police soldier put down his pen and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, you can't go to see Vice Governor Zhao." ”

"Why can't you see it?" Zhang Changsuo shouted, "I'm his father's guard, what's wrong with meeting him?" ”

The armed police soldiers didn't eat this, but just said coldly: "Please leave!" ”

Zhao Changfeng felt that it was not easy for the old man to go through all the twists and turns, and it was too unreasonable to leave without even seeing a figure, so he hurriedly discussed with the armed police soldiers: "Comrade, can you help call Vice Governor Zhao?" ”

The armed police soldier stared at Zhao Changfeng sternly: "What are you doing?" What is the relationship with this person? ”

"I'm a student at North China University of Finance and Economics! I met this uncle on the road, and it was not easy to see him, so I sent him over! "Zhao Changfeng's anger came up all of a sudden, what's wrong? Treat me like a criminal?

"Get your papers out!" The armed police soldier shouted, "I want to register." You are in charge of taking this person away now, and if he comes to the provincial government in the future, I will inform your school!" ”

"Don't go! Why did you drive me away? ”

Before Zhao Changfeng could speak, the old man Zhang Changsuo suddenly broke out.

"When Lao Tzu fought with [***], you little soldiers hadn't given birth yet!" The old man Zhang Changsuo shouted excitedly: "I just want to see Zhao Qiang today!" I want to see who dares to stop me! ”

Saying that, the old man was about to stumble in.

The armed police soldier standing on the sentry suddenly ran over and stretched out his hand to grab the old man: "Stop!" You can't go in there! ”

Zhao Changfeng didn't expect that the old man Zhang Changsuo would have such a violent temper, and he saw that things were about to make a big fuss. It's bad now, Zhao Changfeng said in his heart, if Zhang Changsuo really knows Zhao Qiang, it's okay, if he doesn't know Zhao Qiang, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of it today. He also hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Changsuo, and persuaded in his mouth: "Uncle, don't get excited, okay?" ”

Just then, a black Audi drove up from outside, and when it saw this scene, it stopped. The window glass in the back slowly lowered, revealing a resolute face.

"What's going on?"

"Vice Governor Zhao." The armed police soldier hurriedly let go of the old man and stepped forward to salute: "Report to the chief, there are two people here who insist on seeing you......"

Before the words of this armed police soldier were finished, the old man Zhang Changsuo had already pounced: "Five boys!" ”

The armed police soldier hurriedly turned around to block the old man: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Changfeng was worried that the old man would suffer, so he hurriedly stepped forward to protect the old man.

"Five?" Zhao Qiang's eyebrows moved rapidly, he pushed the car door, walked out, and said to the armed police soldiers: "You get out of the way and let the old man come over." ”

Zhang Changsuo came to Zhao Qiang tremblingly, grabbed Zhao Qiang's hand and said, "Five people, I am Changsuo." Zhang Changsuo, do you remember? When I was a kid, I took you to dig out the bird's nest. ”

Zhao Qiang looked at the old man carefully, and suddenly said in surprise: "Changsuo, you are Uncle Changsuo!" He grabbed Zhang Changsuo's arm tightly: "Uncle Changsuo, where have you been all these years?" Why don't you contact us? ”

Zhang Changsuo trembled for a long time, wanting to speak, but finally squatted down and cried. The voice was heartbreaking, as if there were endless grievances.

Zhao Qiang's eyes were moist, and he bent down to help the old man: "Uncle Changsuo, don't cry." Come, go with the five gentlemen. If you have any grievances, tell them to the five gentlemen, and the five gentlemen will call the shots for their uncle. ”

The old man wiped his tears and stood up, and Zhao Qiang helped him into the car.

Zhao Changfeng stood aside and let out a long breath, finally his merits were completed, and he was about to leave.

"Come, little comrade, you come up too!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiang turned around and said to him.

Zhao Changfeng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Zhao Qiang misunderstood that he and Zhang Changsuo were together. There was a burst of joy in his heart, and even a fool knew how beautiful this misunderstanding was. It was an opportunity and he couldn't pass it up.

Zhao Changfeng sat in the car.

The Audi started slowly and drove smoothly into the provincial government axe compound.
