Chapter 21 To the South
Comrade Fang He is six years older than Ye Xiangqian, the old man Ye, and this age gap is nothing.
In fact, as far as the age of Comrade Fang and Comrade Yi is concerned, he was considered a junior comrade in the party at the beginning, and the advantage of a junior comrade is that it is easier to get the understanding of the bigwigs in the party, and even if there are any small mistakes, they are considered tolerable.
In those days, Comrade Fang He was indeed relatively humble and able to accept criticism and suggestions from others.
It is precisely for this reason that in the turmoil that year, although Comrade Fang He was also impacted, he did not endanger his life, and after putting the chaos in order, he was finally able to take power and lead the whole people to start a magnificent reform and opening up.
Now that he is getting older, Comrade Fang He resolutely pushed the leading cadres in the party to abolish the lifelong system and officially retired.
Of course, for some people, even if they are not in their positions, they can still have a very far-reaching influence and still have a significant say in the direction of domestic politics.
After the group entered and sat down, Ye Kai stood solemnly behind Old Man Ye, abiding by the duties of juniors.
There were quite a few people who accompanied Fang He and Comrade Fang, but only two or three were qualified to sit in, one of them was Fang Shu, the daughter of Comrade Fang He, who was probably in her forties, and the other two were the main responsible comrades of the "Fang Office."
On Old Man Ye's side, he is accompanied by Ye Kai, and there is also Chen Lin, the director of Old Man Ye's office, who is also a ministerial-level official and an important person who has entered the core of the Ye family.
"This is Jiankai, right? I remember that Jian Huan was older...... "Comrade Fang He couldn't help but look at Ye Kai twice, after all, the room was full of young people like him.
"Hello Grandpa Fang, I wish you good health, I'm Ye Jiankai." Ye Kai replied respectfully.
"Sure enough, it's Jiankai, it's so big in a flash......" Comrade Fang He nodded, and suddenly said with a smile, "You don't know, the names of your brothers were actually taken by me." ”
"Huh?!" Ye Kai was taken aback, and when he looked at his grandfather Ye Xiangqian, he found that he did not deny it, and then he knew that what Comrade Fang He said was true.
It turned out that the relationship between Fang Ye's two families was so close, and Ye Xingxing couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Originally, the name I gave you was 'the country is rich and the people are safe, happy and happy', but your grandfather only took the last four words, which was a bit unexpected to me." Comrade Fang He seemed to have thought of some things back then, and he was very interested.
In this way, Ye Kai pondered in his heart, and always felt that his grandfather's move should have a deep meaning, but he didn't realize it for a while.
"How many years have passed, Brother Fang, do you still remember it so clearly......" Old Man Ye listened to it, but he also felt a little emotional.
This incident happened at least 30 years ago, and it is difficult for Fang and Comrade Fang to remember it clearly.
"Your father is a deputy minister of the Propaganda Department, right?" Comrade Fang He suddenly asked Ye Kai.
"Yes." Ye Kai nodded in response, but his heart moved.
Comrade Fang He, who is that, it is impossible to speak ramblingly, but there are a lot of reasons hidden in this sentence.
Ye Kai thought of something, so he took the initiative to say, "Grandpa Fang, it's difficult to do propaganda work, right?" ”
"Hehe, how do you say that?" When Comrade Fang He heard this, he asked with a smile.
"My dad goes out early and comes home late every day, as if there is nothing else to do but work, so I feel this way." Ye Kai made a complaining look, "He is a deputy minister, so he should grasp some things in the general direction, but I think he can't finish it seems to be a little bit of detail, it's really strange." ”
As soon as Ye Kai said this, the expressions on everyone's faces were not very different.
Old Man Ye naturally looked expressionless, but his eyelids jumped, if he didn't pay attention, he would definitely not find it, and Comrade Fang He was very interested, the two comrades who accompanied him were cautious, as for Old Man Ye's office director Chen Lin, he also looked at Ye Kai with some surprise, obviously he didn't expect Ye Kai to be so bold and dare to say anything.
"Propaganda Department......" Comrade Fang He paused, "I don't know the situation over there. It's inconvenient to talk when you retreat. Even if it is talking, I am afraid that no one wants to listen to it. ”
As soon as he said this, even Old Man Ye's face was a little uncomfortable, "Brother Fang, what you said, let the children listen to it, and they thought that respecting the old and respecting the virtuous was an empty word." However, the Propaganda Department is a bit of a problem, is it so difficult to make a fuss about the useful and useless things and do something in a down-to-earth manner? ”
The Propaganda Department has indeed been able to make a lot of noise recently, so that Old Man Ye has a lot of complaints in his heart.
How so? is too entangled in the ideological struggle, especially in the capital, so that many people feel more depressed in their hearts and don't know where to go?
The current situation of Comrade Fang He, Mr. Ye is also more understanding.
When he retired, Comrade Fang He said that he would retire to the end and no longer hold any leading positions in the party, and with his retirement, many leading comrades also retired, some of them also retired to the end, and some of them entered the Central Advisory Committee and continued to exert their residual heat.
However, in this way, there are still many comrades who do not understand much, or they are not very confident about their successors, and it is not excluded that some people have the idea of not being in love with power.
In addition, after the events of last year, the conservative forces in the party gained the upper hand, and when Comrade Fang He retired, he said that he would no longer make any remarks on the political situation, so although the reform has been greatly affected and the voices questioning or opposing the reform have occupied the mainstream of the media, it is not very convenient for Comrade Fang He to respond positively.
In other words, it is not so easy for him to express his support for reform in the official mainstream media.
Regarding this practice of the Propaganda Department, don't say that Comrade Fang He is dissatisfied in his heart, even Old Man Ye has a lot of complaints.
In any case, Comrade Fang He's contribution to the party and the country is obvious to all, and although he has retired, it is not too much to express some personal opinions on reform.
It's not good, it's very bad.
Who knows, in the silence of everyone, Ye Kai spoke again, and as soon as he said it, he was shocked, "Because of the influence of the climate, the winter in the capital always makes people feel more depressed, if Grandpa Fang's body allows, you can go to the south to take a walk, over there, there is already a feeling of spring." ”
