"Chief, go inside, it's cold outside." Standing at the door for a while, Xiao Yuan reminded him in a timely manner that Zhang Daoyi was an old man after all, and standing in this temperature of a few degrees below zero, Xiao Yuan was worried that Zhang Daoyi would not catch a cold.

"Let's go, go in, today is Ningning's wedding, and we'll also go in and be lively." Zhang Dao nodded and smiled, his hand on crutches was sonorous and powerful, and as Zhang Dao walked inside, the guards who were disguised as state guest house staff in the banquet hall were all on high alert.

"Huh?" Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Guohua glanced at each other, the changes in those 'staff' did not hide their eyes, and both of them looked at the door in the other direction, and their bodies had already stood up.

Most of the guests in the hall were unknown, and the people sitting at the main table, Li Huaiyuan and Zhou Mingfang, saw Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Guohua both standing up, Zhang Xiaoru glanced at the door on the inside, and had already stood up.

There was a sudden noise in the hall, and I don't know who said a few words excitedly. The chief is coming', many people understand it, almost at the same time, everyone stood up, eagerly looking inside, on weekdays, the old man of the Zhang family lives in a simple place, except for the national leaders to visit, ordinary people have no chance to contact the old head of the old man of the Zhang family at this level, and now take the opportunity of Zhang Ninghai's wedding to see the old chief's demeanor, those who have worked hard and spent a lot of money to get the invitation from Zhang Ming are excited, this trip is not in vain.

When Zhang Daoyi walked out, the audience resounded with a burst of thunderous applause, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, the newcomer's limelight was overshadowed at once, Zhang Ningning had already walked over, supporting his grandfather to walk, at this time Zhang Dao smiled very happily, looking at his baby granddaughter with a kind face, Zhang Daoyi was full of smiles, and said vigorously, "Okay, good, Xiao Ningning is so beautiful today, grandpa is happy for you." ”

Turning his head to look at Chen Xing next to him, Zhang Daoyi had an expectant look on his face, "Chen Xing, you have to treat Ning Ning well in the future, if she is wronged, my old man's crutch will not recognize people." ”

Zhang Daoyi's words caused everyone around him to laugh, Zhang Guohua also looked at Chen Xing's son-in-law, maybe this son-in-law is not the most satisfying for him, but this is his daughter's choice, his daughter's happiness is the most important for him as a father, this is also the reason why Zhang Guohua will approve of the marriage between the two, old man, I also think so, Zhang Guohua looked at his aging father, and his heart was inexplicably a little sour, his father was a prominent one, but so what, birth, old age, sickness and death, the laws of nature, No matter how powerful you are, sooner or later you will turn into a handful of loess, and people live, in fact, contentment is bliss.

"Today, as an elder, I would like to toast you." The old man of the Zhang family asked the staff next to him to bring a glass of wine, looked around at the people present, and went down.

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers in the crowd, and those who were lucky enough to see the old man of the Zhang family for the first time on this occasion were so excited that his face was flushed, a large glass of wine, and he drank it without saying a word, and no one would care that the old man of the Zhang family was just a small white cup, and he didn't know if the wine in it was enough to take a sip, so that the old man of the Zhang family could toast, everyone would only feel deeply honored, even if it was a provincial and ministerial-level cadre like Li Huaiyuan and Zhou Mingfang, the same was true.

The cheers were endless, the old man of the Zhang family looked at everyone with a smile, and there were many unfamiliar faces in the back, the old man of the Zhang family did not recognize it, and the old man of the Zhang family had heard of the idea of a public welfare wedding advocated by Zhang Ningning, and he didn't mind supporting his granddaughter's idea at this time.

Raised his hand slightly and pressed down, the old man's voice was not loud, but it was low and powerful, "Some of the people present, I don't know, I heard our family Ning Ning say that this wedding should be open to a small number of people in society, to put it bluntly, it is to let unrelated, but rich people spend money to buy invitations to attend the wedding, to be honest, my old man heard this idea for the first time, I don't understand it, a good wedding, a lively and lively day, why do you want to be so philistine, Our party is engaged in a market economy and is vigorously developing the building of material civilization, but it cannot go so far. ”

The old man of the Zhang family said slowly, the speed of his speech was not fast, but he was loud, the hall that was still lively just now was already silent at this time, everyone listened with bated breath, and no one dared to make a trace of sound.

Zhang Guohua's face gradually became solemn, the old man's speech was never untargeted, from the new public welfare wedding advocated by his daughter, the old man mentioned the construction of material culture, what is this to say? Zhang Guohua knows what the old man said, and as soon as he leaves this hall, he will put it on the desks of the central few people as soon as possible.

Zhang Guohua didn't have time to think about it, the old man paused, and had already continued, "My old man can't figure it out, our family Ning Ning explained to me, saying that this is to hold a public welfare wedding, hoping to raise more money to donate to the children in the western mountains, I said at the time, Ning Ning, you are causing misunderstanding among others like this, and people who don't know still think that our Zhang family is going to use the wedding to make a lot of money, even if it is explained by us, others know, but how to ensure that others don't think about it, You said you were going to donate all the money you received from the wedding, who will prove it to you? How much money you received, did you donate it all again, and who can prove it? Who has the qualifications to give us the Zhang family certificate? To be honest, I don't approve of doing this, there are many ways to raise money, public welfare, you can call on people of insight in the whole society to do it together, you are a little girl, how much can you play? ”

The old man of the Zhang family stopped to rest again, and Xiao Yuan was slightly worried, "Chief, are you going to take a rest first?" ”

"It's okay, old man, although I can't walk far, I still have the strength to talk more." The old man of the Zhang family waved his hand, and Xiao Yuan on the side could only be silent, he had the impression that the old chief had not said so much at one time.

"I, an old man, have always been strict with his family, a large family, no less than my crutch, grandchildren's generation, many see me like mice see cats, but I can't control this youngest granddaughter, Xiao Ningning said to insist on doing this, she said she is not afraid of misunderstanding, others misunderstanding is someone else's business, she insists on doing her own, as long as she has a clear conscience, this sentence, even I, the old man, have been touched when I heard it, I said okay, you have to do this, grandpa supports you."

Old man Zhang paused his crutches, sonorous and powerful, and turned sharply, "Since the reform and opening up, our country has become rich and strong, and the lives of the people have improved, what does this mean?" It shows that we are right to follow the road of market economy, and it shows that our overall line of reform is correct; compared with our era, everyone could not eat enough for three meals, and there was no last meal, and now the lives of the common people do not know how much better they are, and this proves that our party's reform is right.

We have learned from the experience of the developed countries, but more often than not, we have crossed the river by feeling the stones, because we have our own national conditions and our own actual conditions, and we cannot copy the experience of foreign countries.

Some people are questioning whether our party is wrong to carry out reform and opening up, saying that going on like this is a dead end, and this is purely confusing people's minds! Our party is also making mistakes, but it doesn't matter what makes mistakes, the important thing is to correct mistakes and continue to move forward, reform is impossible not to make mistakes, this is the price of reform, and it is also the pain that reform must go through, we are doing something that no one has done before, and we have no experience to copy.

Of course, I'm talking far, today is my old man is a little more verbose, then back to the present, our country is rich, the people's living standards have also improved, but the moral level of this society is getting worse and worse, all kinds of things without a moral bottom line are happening every day, some people say that this is the sequelae of reform and opening up, our country blindly emphasizes the market economy, material civilization, ignoring the construction of spiritual civilization, so the people are materially rich, but spiritually they are back to poverty, At the beginning of reform and opening up, our party's line and principles were clearly defined, and reform and opening up, the building of material civilization and the building of spiritual civilization should be grasped with both hands, and neither should be left behind.

Our party's cadres blindly pursue GDP, because this is the criterion for evaluating political performance, and if GDP is raised, there will be great hope for promotion, and no one wants to engage in the construction of spiritual civilization. Because the building of spiritual civilization cannot be embodied in political achievements, and since it cannot be embodied in political achievements, it will not be of great benefit to personal promotion, and cadres will not be willing to engage in it, so spiritual and cultural construction will lag far behind the development of material culture, and this is because our party's principles and policies have not been implemented well.

Our little Ning Ning insisted on holding this public welfare wedding, and her little girl was willing to use her meager efforts to help those in need, and many people in the society today are also very face-saving.

Of course, I know that you may not be giving our family Ningning face, you may be more for our Zhang family's signboard, but I should still thank you, at least you took out the money to help people in need, here, I also sincerely hope that you are successful people in society can use their own ability to give back to the society, our country, some people got rich first, but there are more people who have not become rich, and some are still struggling on the food and clothing line, especially in the western mountainous areas, they are still very difficult, Those of you who got rich first should take the lead. ”

"Okay, my old man has talked enough today, people are old, and I'm tired of talking more, and in the next time, you will eat and drink happily, and my old man will not join in the fun with you." The old man of the Zhang family smiled and beckoned to everyone, coming late and going fast.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly helped Zhang Daoyi on the side, his face was solemn and solemn, what Old Man Zhang said at the wedding of his little granddaughter today seemed to be because of the public welfare wedding advocated by his granddaughter, but who dared to say that Old Man Zhang was just casually talking? Combined with the fact that some cadres in the party are also questioning whether the line of reform and opening up is really correct, it is not difficult to understand why Mr. Zhang said this, and the timing of his speech was also chosen just right.

Xiao Yuan knew in his heart that the old chief's speech, within five minutes, would definitely appear on the desk of the top leader, not so much that the old man Zhang was supporting his granddaughter's idea of a public welfare wedding, but that the old man was also worried and distressed about the current situation of the country, and tonight the old man's words did not know what kind of impact it would cause.

Old man Zhang is gone, Zhang Guohua, Li Huaiyuan, Zhou Mingfang, these provincial and ministerial levels are all solemn, Zhang Guohua didn't expect his respected father to say these words at this time, and Li Huaiyuan and Zhou Mingfang, these two people who are still a little far away from the central high-level are more thinking about whether Old Man Zhang's speech will become an opportunity, an opportunity for top-down reform.
