Under the golden lamp, Tang Yi squandered on the desk and waved a pen, this is the dormitory assigned to him by the town axe, the layout is a little simple, the only electrical appliance is the 14-inch color TV on the TV cabinet, in the early 90s, color TV has slowly entered the northern countryside, but it is still a luxury for a few people, and most rural families are still in the black and white TV stage.

Tang Yi is writing "The Gains and Losses of the Economic Reform of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", which he is preparing to use in a few months, which is the most important thing in his preparations, and he has racked his brains to make a good article.

"Ring bell bell", the phone on the bedside table rang suddenly, originally there was no phone in the dormitory of the town leader, and Tang Yi paid for it himself.

Tang Yi put down the pen, rubbed his slightly sore arm, walked to the side of the bed and picked up the phone, and a gentle woman's voice came from the microphone: "Xiaoyi? ”

"Mom?" Tang Yi suddenly felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and this "Mom" blurted out, which was so natural. Even he himself was a little surprised, as if his feelings for women had changed from a grandmother who was particularly respectful in the past to a kind mother now, perhaps, he had really become one with his adoptive father's body, right?

"Xiaoyi, it's me, are you okay? What do you think? Hard work, isn't it? The woman's voice was a little excited, she was Xiao Jinhua, the mother of Tang Yi's adoptive father, Tang Yi's adoptive father's father died in the Vietnam War, and his son was taken by the old lady to raise him, Xiao Jinhua was bored and took a green card in the United States, and opened a small company in the United States as a spiritual sustenance, but in that other time and space, after Tang Yi's adoptive father left the family, she still ended the business of the small company in the United States, rushed back to China to live with Tang Yi's family, enlightened her son, is a woman who can afford to take it and let it go, The growth of the godmother is also inseparable from her edification.

Tang Yi listened to her soft words, his voice was a little bitter, and his eyes were hot, but he still tried his best to control his emotions and tried his best not to tremble: "Mom, I'm fine, what about you?" ”

"I'm also doing well, and the living conditions here are much better than in China! You don't have to worry about me. ”

"Xiaoyi, the old man called me and said that you have been doing very well recently!" Xiao Jinhua's voice revealed a hint of pride, although the old lady was very dissatisfied with her going to the United States to open a company, Xiao Jinhua didn't seem to care about the old lady, but in the hearts of the Tang family, who was not proud to get a few words of praise from the old lady?

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that the old lady ignored him on the surface, but he was afraid that his every move would not escape his eyes, thinking that he was quite satisfied with his performance in Li Wenhe's case, and even called his mother for the first time.

Xiao Jinhua laughed again in the microphone: "Xiaoyi, you have to work hard, whether I can raise my eyebrows in the Tang family is all counting on you!" Although it was a joking tone, she felt a bit like a mother and a child, Tang Yi knew that she actually cared a lot about her status in the Tang family.

"Mom, how's your business going?"

"Alas, a small company, can't make a lot of money, and the consumption here is high, what? Expecting your mother to make a lot of money for you to retire for? Xiao Jinhua laughed, saying that, Tang Yi knew that she had her own way of doing business, and her business should be doing well.

"Mom, you're in trade, aren't you?" Tang Yi looked at the calendar on the wall, and suddenly his heart moved.

"Hey, when did you care about my company? Do you still don't like politics and want to go to the sea to accompany me? Tell you, don't talk to me about your unproductive ideas! Xiao Jinhua said half-jokingly and half-seriously, in fact, it was also a wake-up call to Tang Yi.

"It's not." Tang Yi looked at the calendar, thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind and asked, "Let me ask you something, what do you think about the situation in Iraq?" ”

"Alas, I said, baby son, I didn't want to discuss the political situation with you on this transatlantic call, silly son, do you know how much a minute is?" Xiao Jinhua giggled, she liked to tease this somewhat honest son since she was a child.

Tang Yi scratched his head helplessly, but he still had to continue: "I don't want to tell you this, I mean I've analyzed it these days, I think the Gulf War will definitely break out, and the United Nations forces will soon be victorious, and they won't even lose a few soldiers, I don't know if my analysis is useful for your trade business." ”

Xiao Jinhua's giggles stopped abruptly, and after a while, her voice sounded again: "Are you serious?" The voice was solemn.

"Seriously, and I think that in a few months, the Soviet Union will most likely collapse." Tang Yi's words were shocking at the time, and even the most radical Western scholars would not have foreseen the collapse of the Soviet Union at hand. As for the Iraq War, no one thought that Iraq, the hegemon of the Persian Gulf and known as the third military power at that time, would be so vulnerable in front of the United States.

Xiao Jinhua was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "If your analysis is accurate, then the trade in the US market and the international market will have earth-shaking changes, and the price of crude oil and gold will be violently impacted." But son, you ...... Alas......" She finally sighed, obviously feeling that Tang Yi's analysis was too fantastical, and she faintly felt in her heart that it seemed that her son was really not a material for politics.

Tang Yi also regretted a little after speaking, and hurriedly smiled: "Of course, these are all things that I analyzed randomly, don't take it seriously, let alone tell others!" ”

Xiao Jinhua laughed: "What? Afraid that others will laugh at you? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else! But son, you have to be confident, whether others believe it or not, Mom believes in you! ”

Tang Yi's heart warmed, nodded slightly, chatted with her for a few more words, and then put down the phone.

……

In the large conference room of the county government axe, twenty or thirty people sat around the round table, and an enlarged meeting of the Yanshan County Party Committee was being held, and members of the county party committee, secretaries of the party committees of various towns, and mayors of the towns were present.

Tang Yi sat in the corner of the window, next to Liu Dazhong, who was always gloomy, Tang Yi looked at the central red-headed document in his hand, "The Eighth Five-Year Plan for Economic System Reform and the Ten-Year Plan", listening to everyone's words, his heart was heavy.

Before the meeting, Cheng Jianjun, the county magistrate, specially talked to Tang Yi, and at that time he was full of joy with this red-headed document issued by the central government, and instructed Tang Yi to carefully understand the spirit of this document.

Sure enough, not long after the meeting began, it was full of the smell of fire, and the propaganda minister was the first to attack, believing that the reform of Yanshan County had come to a standstill, which was obviously inconsistent with the spirit of the Central Committee, and this was inseparable from the mistakes in the work of the party committee.

Cheng Jianjun, who is speaking now, spoke impassionedly about the achievements of Yanshan County since the reform and opening up, the improvement of the people's living standards, and finally slowly talked about the resistance encountered in the reform of Yanshan County, the more he talked, the more excited he became, waving his arms and saying: "Comrades! The general secretary made an important speech when he just inspected Shanghai's Pudong, saying that the people of Shanghai should emancipate their minds a little more, be bolder and move faster! However, on the other hand, we have not only not deepened the reform, but have a tendency to gradually regress, comrades, I am very sad! As the county magistrate, I admit that I have made mistakes in my work, and I am here to review! ”

The venue was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn, at this time, Xiao Yue, who was expressionless, slowly moved the microphone to his mouth, coughed lightly, and suddenly laughed: "What? Gua Wazi wants to rebel against me? Tell you kid! Lao Tzu is afraid of everything, but he is not afraid of being rebelled! ”

"Poof" The tea in Tang Yi's mouth sprayed on the table, he never dreamed that Xiao Yue would come up with such a sentence, he is the secretary of the county party committee, and he is just in private, and he actually spoke so ...... at the enlarged meeting of the county party committee To put it bluntly, this is really not shocking.

"Comrade Jianjun, what you said is reasonable, but I would like to ask you a rhetorical question: How can you carry out the reform in depth and how can you ensure that the fundamental interests of the majority of the people will not be undermined? How can you be sure that you are taking the right route? How to ensure that our Yanshan County will not be peacefully evolved? Could it be that the comrades in Eastern Europe were not as smart as you Cheng Jianjun when they carried out reforms? As soon as he spoke, the whispering members of the county party committee stopped talking and sat up one by one, it can be seen that his prestige is very high, and many leaders can even describe him as afraid.

Cheng Jianjun was so stunned by Xiao Yue's rhetorical question that he looked around blankly, and those "comrades-in-arms" who had sworn before the meeting sat up one by one, and none of them stood up to support him.

"Comrades, I'm also very sad!" Xiao Yue waved his big hand, "What I am sad about is that some people have opinions and do not follow the normal channels, ignore the organizational principles, form gangs, and fan the flames in the meeting, lest the world will not be chaotic!" The more Xiao Yue spoke, the more angry he became, and suddenly slapped the table: "Damn! If it had been my soldiers, he would have been killed! The teacups on the table "jingled" chaotically, and everyone in the venue was silent.

"Secretary Xiao, I want to say a few words." Just when Xiao said that the light was on fire, Tang Yi raised his hand. Xiao Yue ignored it, and continued to talk to himself: "I agree with the spirit of the party's document, but how to carry out this reform, we must be cautious!" Eastern Europe is a lesson for us! ”

Tang Yi frowned, picked up the microphone close to him, and accidentally aimed the microphone mouth at the megaphone, the microphone made a sharp long beep, and everyone in the venue looked at him in amazement, Xiao Yue was also a little stunned.

Tang Yi twisted the microphone, Chang Ming disappeared, and without waiting for Xiao Yu to reprimand, Tang Yi had already spoken: "Secretary Xiao, I want to say a few words, what you said just now is very right, the organizational principle cannot be destroyed, but what are the organizational principles?" How is the life of the Party healthy? If I remember correctly, the supreme principle of the party's life is open-boiled centralism, not a hall of words! Now that I have been allowed to attend this meeting, I have the right to speak, and you cannot deprive me of my rights! ”

Everyone looked at Tang Yi in a daze, no one would have thought that Tang Yi would bluntly contradict Xiao Yue, even if Cheng Jianjun spoke just now, he didn't dare to directly call Xiao Yue's name.

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Good boy! Dare to shoot at me! Okay, you say, I'll listen, listen to your doll's sour theory. As he spoke, he slowly leaned back to his seat, looking like he was listening.

Tang Yi ignored Xiao Yue's ridicule and continued: "Secretary Xiao mentioned the peaceful evolution of Eastern Europe just now, as far as I know, the cultural circle of Eastern Europe belongs to the traditional Western culture, but the Soviet Union forcibly imposed socialism on them by force, unlike us, our history has always been the history of the world, the history of the small peasant economy, and the philosophy of the West belong to two categories, so if the West wants to assimilate and corrupt us with the Eastern European model, it will definitely suffer a shameful failure!" ”

"Of course, I don't mean to say that our party can sleep in peace, thinking that there is no need to worry about it for 10,000 years, that is the bookism, that is, the sour theory you said."

Kind laughter sounded softly in the venue, and the solemn atmosphere was diluted a lot.

Tang Yi continued: "I also believe that opposing bourgeois liberalization and preventing peaceful evolution is the top priority of our work, but this does not contradict deepening reform!" It's like, you and County Magistrate Cheng, a party, a government, if we are compared to a big family, the two of you are a father, the other is a mother, and not the two sides of the contradiction, you love each other and our big family can prosper! If my father and mother are bickering every day, can our big family have a good life? Of course, there are opinions raised at the meeting, it is right not to engage in yin wind, and fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed shows that our organizational life is still very healthy! ”

There was another burst of laughter in the venue, Xiao Yue also smiled and nodded, took the microphone and interjected: "Then what is your position?" Is it a hairy child in a big family? Everyone laughed, and Cheng Jianjun's face was a lot brighter.

Tang Yi ignored him, and continued: "Regarding deepening reform and opposing bourgeois liberalization, I have also read a lot of the spirit of the documents issued by the central government, and none of the documents think that they are contradictory. ”

Hearing Tang Yi's words gradually turn to support Cheng Jianjun, Xiao Yue's face slowly became serious again, but Tang Yi continued: "However, it is the right attitude to take fewer wrong paths and fewer detours, so how can we take fewer wrong roads and less detours?" I think Secretary Xiao has done a good job in this regard, and he has repeatedly reviewed and treated any reform proposal with caution. This is not hindering the reform, on the contrary, I think we must have this attitude when carrying out reform, only when there are more people like Secretary Xiao who find faults, we will carry out the reform will be the mistakes that may be made in all aspects to the minimum, and prevent the slightest mistake, which is the best way to avoid detours! ”

The people present nodded one after another, and they all felt that Tang Yi's words had some truth, and Cheng Jianjun took the opportunity to pick up the microphone: "Xiao Tang is right, in addition to comprehending the spirit of the central document, the topic of today's meeting is to summarize the lessons and lessons of our Yanshan County reform, carry out criticism and self-criticism, and discuss how to carry out the reform in depth!" After he finished speaking, he took a long breath, and finally finished the scene, if it weren't for Tang Yi's tirade, he wouldn't know how to end it.

The next meeting was much easier, discussing the spirit of the central document, and discussing the deepening of reform, when the end of the scene, these town secretaries all shook hands with Tang Yi politely before leaving, everyone looked at Tang Yishi's expression has changed slightly, and they all feel that this young secretary is very set, not a thing in the pool, of course, there are a small number of people who have some disdain in their hearts, but it is just a sour show, speaking of theories one by one, messing up one by one, and the actual work may be a dish. But no matter how you think about it, your attitude towards Tang Yi has changed, and it is no longer that when you thought he was just a hairy child with gold plated at the bottom level.

Cheng Jianjun patted Tang Yi's shoulder heavily when he passed by Tang Yi's side, and the kind smile on his mouth was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Tang Yi.

Xiao said that when he walked to Tang Yi's side, he stopped slightly, nodded and said: "You baby is not bad, give you a word, don't be an official oil, both sides will not be good in the end!" ”

Tang Yi smiled and didn't speak, he had his own set of standards for acting, but he was not prepared to be a panacea for officialdom as Xiao Yue thought.
