Chapter 211: Respect All Your Choices

Lin Fei sighed. Whispered: "I'm not a good man, there are too many women I've hurt over the years......"

"I'm not afraid of ......," Ding Lu said softly, but he was extremely firm.

"Let's go home first, Ding Lu, you are actually a rare good girl......" Lin Fei walked back into the car and walked away.

Ding Lu showed a smile on his tearful face, and said to himself: "He said that I am rare? ”

……

In the northwest suburbs of Dingcheng, at the foot of the mountain is a dense camphor forest that stretches for more than ten kilometers, and dozens of villas are scattered among the trees. This is the famous "Zhanglin Courtyard" in the nine southeastern provinces. It is famous because the houses here are not allowed to be traded, that is, there is no price, and only those who have made a significant contribution are eligible to live in such villas for free.

In the middle of the night, the villa area is particularly quiet, and a table lamp is lit in the study of one villa.

Xia Xian sat at his desk and stared down at the book in his hand, sometimes frowning, sometimes picking up a pen to circle the annotations.

Xia Lan, who had just returned from the bureau, knocked lightly on the door of the study.

Xia Xian put down the book in his hand, raised his head and whispered, "It's Lan Lan, come in." ”

"Dad, I'm back." Xia Lan, dressed in military uniform, walked into the room with a smile.

Xia Xian's loving eyes fell on the daughter who survived the catastrophe, and pointed to the sofa, "I'm going to work overtime again, sit down and talk to my father." ”

At this moment, Xia Xian does not have any usual majesty and solemnity, just a kind and kind old father.

Xia Lan walked to the sofa and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip, "Dad, how did I find out that you have changed recently?" ”

"Really? Where have I changed, and how do I not know? Xia Xian slowly stood up, took the cup in his hand, and sat next to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan was about to add some hot water to the cup, but was stopped by Xia Xian, "Lan Lan, Dad just drank it, you don't have to go." ”

"Dad, you've just changed, you've become gentle." Xia Lan coquettishly hugged Xia Xian's arm and said, "It's not as strict as before." ”

"What's that? Gentleness refers to women, and Dad is a complete old man! Xia Xian laughed.

"Dad, I'm actually saying that you've been smiling a lot lately, and you're much better to me than before." Xia Lan gently leaned on Xia Xian's arm.

Xia Xian's face suddenly became heavy, and he said to himself: "My daughter has grown up, it's different......"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Xia Lan felt that her father's expression was a little abnormal tonight, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

Xia Xian waved his hand and looked at Xia Lan gently, "Lan Lan, although Dad has been strict with you everywhere since you were a child, you have always been in charge of important decisions in your life, and you have never interfered with your choices in the slightest, right?" ”

Xia Lan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Dad, you're right." ”

"I am a very ** person, and now I am in such a high position, but I never use the power in my hands to suppress anyone, whether he is an official or a citizen.

I have always believed that those of us, like the people around us, have no distinction between high and low. If it weren't for the repeated requests from above for me to move here, I wouldn't have come here.

I don't want to have any privileged thoughts, and I don't want to have any privileged thoughts. We are all equal people with the common people, and everyone has made some contributions, but there are small and big ones.

Therefore, my father has been strict with you since I was a child, just afraid that you will be like some officials' children, and now it seems that I have been successful in educating my children.

Of course, it's also your own efforts to fight for your father! ”

Xia Xian paused and continued: "A few days ago, Xu Keshui's incident touched me a lot, and it also made me think a lot, the cadres who have been trained by a country for decades do not think about how to benefit the people, do not think about how to share worries for the country, and do not think about how to maintain integrity, but only think about getting promoted and making a fortune all day long, and live a ridiculous and decadent life. And abuse his power by unscrupulous means, endangering the country and harming the people......" Speaking of this, Xia Xian was a little excited, his eyes were slightly red, and there was a little sparkle in his eyes.

Xia Lan looked at her elderly father distressedly, stood up and filled the cup with hot water. "Dad, drink some water, don't be angry, it's over, let's not think about him."

Xia Xian looked at the cup full of water, shook his head and said: "When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. But some people's greed becomes boundless as their power increases!

Lan Lan, you are now the director of the city bureau, what do you think is the power in your hands? ”

Xia Lan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, quietly looking into her father's eyes, "Dad, I think that power, as you said, is given by the people, and with power, you must work better for the country and the people." Power makes our duty more sacred, without the slightest negligence or the slightest blasphemy.

With power comes greater obligations, and I believe that obligations are more important than power, and a power cannot be used for oneself at any time and place, and the important thing is that one cannot use the power in one's hands to move some crooked thoughts by chance. Just as you said to Tsui Hark, no matter how great the power is, it is not as great as the law, and it is not as great as the people.

As long as you don't act openly, no matter how seamless it is, you will eventually be exposed and punished as it deserves. ”

Xia Xian listened to her daughter's words, and a smile appeared on her gloomy and solemn face, "Lan Lan, you are a good daughter of your father, remember what you said to your father today, and do it yourself at work." ”

Xia Lan nodded, "Dad, I will always remember this, don't worry." ”

Xia Xian took a sip of tea, glanced at Xia Lan with a smile, and said softly, "Lan Lan, you made a mistake because of favoring Lin Fei, right?" ”

Xia Lan blushed and whispered, "Dad, you know, I don't think he did anything wrong, so I did it for him willingly." I also don't think that's contrary to what I just said. ”

"You're right, a lot of things need to be analyzed in a macro and comprehensive way, so Dad doesn't think you're doing something wrong." Xia Xian nodded, "Lan Lan, are you and Lin Fei okay?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Lan's fair face suddenly blushed, she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and whispered: "It's good, he's a good man, it's just ......"

Xia Xian closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "Lan Lan, Dad said that I respect your choice, as long as you are willing, I will not object......" The old man's words were a little helpless, "Dad hopes you can understand." ”
