Li Rui was silent, he knew that Chen Shiwei and his grandmother had a relationship, just like he and his grandfather, and even Chen Shiwei's relationship with his grandmother was deeper than that between him and his grandfather. After a drunken experience, Chen Shiwei once talked to Li Rui about his life experience: his parents starved to death in the era of the Great Famine, he was only ten years old, and it was his grandmother who took him everywhere to ask for food to survive, and single-handedly pulled him up. So he has a very deep affection for his grandmother, once for trivial matters, his wife said a few words about his grandmother in front of him, he went up is a slap in the face, and pointed to his wife solemnly warned, you can say that his is not, but must not say that his grandmother is not, otherwise get out of this house.

It is precisely because of this almost identical life experience that Li Rui and Chen Shiwei are closer than ordinary people, he sighed and said: "After I go back in two days, I will go to visit." ”

"Don't." Jiang Liansheng stopped, "The reason why Secretary Chen didn't notify everyone is that he is afraid of trouble and unhappy to entertain, he wants to send the old man to the last journey quietly." ”

Li Rui nodded, he also understood this quite well, maybe only at this moment, Chen Shiwei completely let go of all the disguises and returned to a real him.

……

The Zhangjia mansion in the western suburbs of the capital is particularly lively today. The third son of the Zhang family, the eldest Zhang Jianxin accompanied the prime minister to the grassroots level and the ordinary people to celebrate the New Year, and the second Zhang Jianzhong went down to the army with the head of the theater to express condolences to the commanders and fighters during the Spring Festival, and Zhang Jianguo, the third member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Mingyang Municipal Party Committee, paid New Year's greetings to the cadres and workers working on the front line on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, so today is the day of the reunion of the Zhang family.

Zhang Bingwen, the old man of the Zhang family, has retired from his leadership post for more than a year, and he has worked hard for the party and the country all his life, and he can finally rest. Although the party and state leaders came to him two days ago to pay New Year's greetings, but today is different, today is a real family gathering, the old man deliberately put on a brand new tunic suit, sat in the hall, and accepted the New Year's greetings from the juniors.

After the reunion, the old man's long eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, "Why didn't Li Rui come?" ”

At this time, everyone noticed that there was a lack of one person today, and everyone focused on Zhang Jianguo, who was talking to Zhang Jianzhong. Although everyone present was his own people, Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and after glancing at his wife Qin Yangwei, he asked Zhang Xiuxiu: "Little sister, did you tell him?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu was originally very dissatisfied with Zhang Jianguo's contempt for Li Rui, and as the youngest daughter in this family, she always said whatever she wanted, and sneered: "Third brother, what you are asking is funny, Li Rui is your son, why are you asking me?" ”

Zhang Jianguo didn't expect that his little sister would choke himself in public, and said, "Don't you usually contact him often." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and she wanted to ridicule each other, but she was pulled by her husband Bai Zhimin next to her and asked her to talk less, it is rare for everyone to get together during the New Year, and the old man is in a good mood, don't have any unpleasantness.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhuoyang was actually quite gloating in his heart, but when he saw the embarrassment on the third uncle's face, he hurriedly came out to relieve the siege and said: "I told Li Rui, he is very busy now, and they are conducting a safety production inspection there, and he can't leave for a while." Saying that, he saw that except for the sister-in-law's family, the rest of the people showed confused expressions, and quickly explained with a smile: "You may not know yet, Li Rui is now the director of the Coal Management Bureau of Nanqiao County, Pengcheng City, and he is in charge of more than 80 coal mines, right?" ”

After hearing this, the old man finally relaxed his brows, although he was very dissatisfied with what this grandson had done before, but as long as he did something serious and didn't cause trouble to the family, he was relieved.

But Zhang Jianguo frowned and said, "Isn't he in the Pengcheng Planning Commission, why did he go to Nanqiao?" "Others may not know that there is a Nanqiao County under Pengcheng City, he knows too well that because this place is his ex-wife's hometown, he feels a little uncomfortable thinking about this. At the same time, he set his eyes on Zhang Xiuxiu, he knew that Zhang Xiuxiu had a classmate who used to be the deputy mayor of Pengcheng to help take care of Li Rui, so Zhang Xiuxiu also specially asked Tian Qiming, deputy secretary of Suhuai Province, to find her classmate a position as the head of the organization.

He thinks he knows this son very well, that is, a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, eats and waits for death, and it must be Zhang Xiuxiu who asked his classmates to help run the operation of the coal management bureau. He has been working at the grassroots level for a long time, although Mingyang City, where he is located, does not produce coal, but he knows very well the weight of the director of the coal management bureau of a large coal-producing county, how can Li Rui be a good director of the coal management bureau? Isn't this child's play?

Zhang Xiuxiu saw Zhang Jianguo's gaze looking at him full of suspicion and a little reproach, and immediately said unconvinced: "Third brother, don't look at me, this is Li Rui's initiative to ask to go down, he can become the director of the coal management bureau completely by his own ability, and I didn't help." Third brother, I'm surprised, other parents are looking forward to their children having a future, why don't you want to see Li Rui good? ”

Zhang Jianguo's face suddenly couldn't hang up, thinking that he was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, the number one leader of the economic city of Mingyang City, who had been in a high position for a long time and was not angry and arrogant, and now he was counted down by his little sister in front of the whole family, and immediately sank his face and said: "Just his appearance, what kind of director can he be, Nanqiao is a large coal-producing county, and the position of the director of the coal management bureau is quite important, in case something happens, can he afford this responsibility?" ”

In fact, Zhang Jianguo's worries are not unreasonable, not long ago the coal mine accident in Hexi Province is just around the corner, based on the impression that Li Rui gave everyone before, everyone does not believe that he can be a good director, and even Zhang Xiuxiu is not without worry in his heart.

"Third uncle, Li Rui did a good job, he was just a deputy director when he first went down, and he worked hard to become this director." Zhang Zhuoyang saw that the atmosphere in the room had become a little nervous, and hurriedly stood up again.

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Zhang Zhuoqing, the second eldest family, hurriedly said curiously: "Boss, tell me quickly, how he worked hard." ”

Although Li Rui went down the well to save people, Nanqiao did not publicize it, but it does not mean that others don't know, Zhang Zhuoyang just listened to Xue Feng and Zhao Wenlong, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard it, he didn't expect Li Rui to be so bloody. Immediately, he said what he had heard, and finally sighed: "At that time, I was scared when I heard it, you think about this hundreds of meters underground, and the water is gushing out in a steady stream, and he tied a rope around his waist and went down, and he couldn't make a small life." ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, Zhang Zhuoqing was also stunned when he heard it, and involuntarily touched his cheek, he was two years older than Li Rui, when Li Rui first came to Yanjing, his face was not less than Li Rui's fist. Now that I think of what happened to him and Li Rui before, my cheeks still have a faint pain.

Zhang Xiuxiu was even more surprised, although she knew that there was an accident in a coal mine in Nanqiao County, but she knew that fortunately, there were no casualties in the timely rescue, and today she heard Zhang Zhuoyang say this to know the thrill, and suddenly exclaimed: "This bastard boy doesn't give me any wind at all, and he doesn't think about the consequences of such a dangerous thing." ”

"Xiuxiu, what are you talking about? To be a party member and cadre is to rush to the front with danger. The old man spoke, and at the same time he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Zhang Zhuoyang: "So Li Rui is doing a good job now?" ”

"It's really well done. Grandpa, listen to me tell you, he is now in the small county town of Nanqiao, I heard that the secretary of the county party committee values him very much, and specially asked him to be responsible for the preparation of the coal chemical industry zone, and Gao Changlong, secretary of the Pengcheng City Party Committee, also praised him by name......

Zhang Zhuoyang was praising Li Rui to the old man, when a discordant voice came out next to him, "It's not that I borrowed the momentum of the family!" ”

Zhang Zhuoyang didn't need to look at it to know that this voice was made by the third Zhang Zhuoqing, and immediately looked at him with a straight face and said: "Third child, you have to have a basis for what you say, as far as I know, no one in Pengcheng except for Guo Wending, the head of the organization, knows Li Rui's true identity. As he spoke, he couldn't help but mock: "If you want to say that whoever likes to talk about their family history often, who knows it in their hearts." ”

Zhang Zhuoqing's face flushed, but he was still unconvinced: "Boss, I know that you are investing in a project in Pengcheng now, and you and Li Rui are mixed together all day long, don't people know his identity?" ”

The meaning of Zhang Zhuoqing's words is an allusion to Zhang Zhuoyang's usual business, and he also carries the Zhang family's brand everywhere. Zhang Zhuoyang smiled when he heard this: "Third child, I really let you tell me, I really don't know." You don't know, my project was facilitated by Li Rui, and I didn't go to the upper echelons at all......"

Seeing that the two juniors were getting more and more unscored, Zhang Jianxin couldn't help but scold: "Zhuoyang, you don't say a few words." ”

Zhang Jianzhong also reprimanded his son: "Zhuo Qing, you talk to your eldest brother like this!" No big, no small! How have you improved in the past two years of work? You should learn from your eldest brother and second brother. Zhang Jianzhong said, smiling at the old man and said, "Dad, after the New Year, Zhuo Chengcheng is going to go to the place to exercise." ”

Zhang Jianzhong's words immediately attracted the attention of the old man, and only Zhang Zhuocheng was the most promising in the third generation of the Zhang family, who was already the director of the Economic and Trade Commission at the age of 28, and was also the target of the current Zhang family's key training. The old man hurriedly asked, "Really?" Where to go? What is your position? ”

"I went to Yangyang County, Pinggao City, Shannan Province, and organizationally asked me to go down to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee." Zhang Zhuoyang hurriedly replied,

"Shannan Province is our hometown! Yang County, well, I stayed there for two years when I fought the little devils, the people there were simple, and they made great sacrifices to defeat the little devils and liberate the country, and it was an old revolutionary area. Zhuo Cheng! You have to work hard when you get there. The old man said with emotion.

Zhang Zhuocheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Grandpa, I remember." When I was interviewed by the organization, there were two destinations for me to choose, one was Hedong Province and the other was Shannan Province, and I chose Shannan Province because I wanted to follow your footsteps and do a good job. ”

Hedong Province is on the edge of Yanjing, and the economy is much more developed than Shannan Province, hearing that Zhang Zhuocheng took the initiative to choose Shannan Province, the old man nodded with satisfaction, "Grandpa supports your choice, although you are a cadre at the department level, but the organization puts you in the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee, I think it is quite appropriate." You must always keep in mind that after you go down, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, really go deep among the masses of the people, and be good at listening to the voices of the people, so that you can do your work well. Yang County is still a poor county, and I hope that after you get there, you will change the appearance of Yang County as soon as possible, promote economic development, and let the people live a good life. ”

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely remember your teachings, learn from the third uncle, and I won't embarrass you." Zhang Zhuocheng said solemnly.

"Okay, the third uncle believes that you will be able to do a good job, and if something happens in the future, you can call me directly." Zhang Jianguo said with a smile.

As soon as Zhang Jianguo's words fell, everyone began to praise Zhang Zhuocheng. Qin Yangwei felt a little uncomfortable on the side, talking about Li Rui just now, and now she is exaggerating Zhuo Cheng, and Zhang Jianzhong and his daughter-in-law on the side have a smug look on their faces. She pushed her son Zhang Zhuojie who was standing next to her and gave him a look, don't look at Zhang Zhuojie's young age, but he has been quite clever since he was a child, facing his mother's eyes, he immediately understood, and immediately ran to the old man, so he pretended to be innocent and said: "Grandpa, grandpa, I took the first place in the class in the final exam, and you also praised me for two sentences!" ”

"Yes, number one! Okay, then grandpa will praise you well. The old man suddenly smiled and pulled Zhang Zhuojie to his side.

This kid is fifteen years old this year, just developing, pulling a male duck's throat, and selling cuteness vigorously, so that Zhang Zhuoyang, who was standing aside, felt a chill, when he saw the third aunt standing in the crowd with a knowing smile on his face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said secretly: Fourth, fourth, the brothers who should be helped have already helped, and it will be up to you in the future.

Similarly, Zhang Xiuxiu's heart was also very uncomfortable, Li Rui's name was like a dragonfly in water, and no one mentioned it again, as if Li Rui was not a member of this family. Looking at the happy appearance of the third brother's family, he couldn't help but feel endless worry and pity for his distant nephew.
