Late summer 1997.

"Bang dang, bang dang ......"

Like a long winding dragon, the green train travels on the tracks from Yanjing to Dujiang, the capital of southwest province.

In the aisle of the hard sleeper car, a young man with a long body, wearing a white shirt and blue suit pants, was standing in front of the window, with thick eyebrows locked and watching the scenery flying by outside the window.

His mood fluctuated like the sound of a train crashing into the rails, and he became more and more nervous as the familiar scenery of Dujiang City appeared in his field of vision.

……

The young man's name is Meng Jinxing, who was 23 years old at the time, a 97-level graduate of the Department of Economics of Yenching University, and has just been admitted to the selection and transfer of his hometown of Southwest Province not long ago.

Meng Jinxing's family is in Dujiang City, the provincial capital, and his family has been strict since he was a child.

Meng Qingping once served as the deputy mayor of Dujiang City, and began to gradually retire from officialdom in the early nineties.

After thirty years of turmoil in the sea, Meng Qingping came to the conclusion that power can make people glorious and transform.

He took this as a motto and told his children to remember his lesson and stay away from officialdom.

However, Meng Jinxing has always felt that the lessons of life are everywhere, not only in officialdom.

It is precisely because every move of the people in the officialdom is related to the image of the country and the interests of the people, and it is all the more necessary for every member of this team to have a high degree of political wisdom.

If someone loses faith and direction in his hands, he is not a qualified official.

Even if the Meng family's neglect over the years reflects people's worship of power from the side, Meng Jinxing still firmly believes that any cadre can become a qualified official as long as his beliefs and original intentions remain unchanged and have a heart for the well-being of the people.

Therefore, when the family of a certain deputy ministerial-level leader greeted his son and replaced his place on the eve of the assignment, and the school leader euphemistically stated the difficulties of not letting him stay in school and promised to recommend him to go to a famous state-owned enterprise in Yanjing, he simply did not hesitate to ask the school to recommend him to apply for the selection and transfer of students in Southwest Province, and he decided to return to the southwest to work, and he wanted to use his actions to prove that power is not a tool used for rent-seeking, and its real role is to benefit the people.

This decision undoubtedly violated his father's family motto, and even if he was full of enthusiasm, he was inevitably apprehensive......

"Comrade passengers......"

The train finally stopped at the station, Meng Jinxing stepped out of the carriage under the gentle reminder of the train announcer, walked out of the station with the flow of people, reversed two buses and got off at Jiupo Road, and walked towards the No. 2 building of the old city dormitory built in the mid-eighties.

Building 2 is a simple one-piece villa that once housed two deputy mayors, Meng Qingping and Mu Xinhua.

Mu Xinhua, who worked alone in Dujiang in his early years, often came to Meng's house to eat, and Meng Qingping has always regarded him as a mentor and friend.

However, with a sudden personnel transfer, Meng Qingping rose and fell secretly, Mu Xinhua rose to prominence, and his former colleagues became strangers since then.

Now, Building No. 2 is a person, Mu Xinhua, who has become the secretary of the Dujiang Municipal Party Committee, has long moved out of Building No. 2, and the neighbors of the Meng family have also changed one after another, but Meng Qingping is the only one who sticks to Building No. 2, and his career is getting narrower and narrower.

Meng Jinxing looked at the illuminated window of his house, took a deep breath, walked up the steps, and raised his hand to press the doorbell.

Meng Jinyan opened the door and saw his younger brother, he didn't seem surprised, and stepped aside to let him in.

Meng Qingping, 57, was sitting at the dining table drinking alone, his square face covered with gloom, ignoring his son, who had come home from thousands of miles.

"Dad, I'm back."

Meng Jinxing put his luggage by the door, sat down opposite his father, and asked in a low voice, "My mother works the night shift?" ”

Meng Qingping emitted a vague monosyllable from his chest, as if he was sure, but as if he hadn't said anything.

"There was a temporary operation in the hospital, and my mother went without dinner." Meng Jinyan took his brother's question.

Meng Jinxing nodded, looking at his father, who was in the prime of life, drinking alone with his head lowered with his precocious hair, his heart fell heavily, "I'll have a drink with you, Dad." ”

Meng Jinxing got up to get the cup, but Meng Qingping suddenly raised his head, and asked his son's back with a gloomy face: "Do you have to take the official career?" ”

Meng Jinxing froze, not daring to look back at his father's face, "You know? ”

"You don't think your dad is so useless that he can't even get news about this, do you?"

"No, Dad, I ......" Meng Jinxing hurriedly turned around to explain.

"Don't explain, answer my question!" Meng Qingping interrupted his son, his eyes as sharp as a blade.

Meng Jinxing has not seen his father's eyes for many years, and since he left the front line, his gaze has always been restrained and subtle, even lacking edge.

He steadied himself, put down his wine glass at the table, nodded solemnly to his father, and said, "I think about it, I want to enter the office!" ”

Meng Qingping's eyes quickly darkened, he sighed heavily, drank all the wine in the cup, and got up and entered the study.

"Dad......"

Meng Jinxing caught up and was pulled by Meng Jinyan, she whispered: "Dad heard three days ago that you were in the list of selected students, and after coming back, he locked himself in the study and sat all night. ”

When Meng Jinxing heard this, his nose suddenly became sore, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Meng Qingping walked out with two large paper bags at this moment, walked past his son and glanced at him, didn't say anything, and went directly to the door to change shoes.

"Dad, I'll go with you!"

Meng Jinxing walked over quickly and took the paper bag from his father's hand.

Meng Qingping's eyes flashed with a hint of relief that was not easy to detect.

In his eyes, a person who doesn't even know how to fight for opportunities, even if he sits in a good position, it is difficult to last long because of his personality.

On the contrary, even if it is an inconspicuous position, in the hands of people who know how to cherish opportunities, it is a ladder to the peak step by step.

The father and son went out to take a taxi and went straight to the dormitory of the provincial party committee in Binjiang to visit Xia Minghan, director of the first cadre department of the organization department of the provincial party committee.

Xia Minghan was originally a reporter, and was later transferred to work in the Dujiang Municipal Party Committee Office, but because of his youth and vigor, he offended the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and was almost assigned.

"Old leader, just make a phone call if you have anything, you still come here in person on such a hot day."

After Xia Minghan welcomed Meng Qingping and his son into the door, he said very politely, but he didn't even make a cup of tea.

Meng Qingping smiled and urged his son to put the gift on the table, and flatteringly handed a cigarette to Xia Minghan, "Actually, it's not a big deal, the main thing is that the dog has participated in the selection and transfer of students." In the past, he is your protégé, I will bring him to recognize the door today, and I will ask Xia to teach more in the future! ”

Meng Qingping said extremely humbly and cautiously, Meng Jinxing even had a hint of illusion, his father was only a department-level cadre at this moment, but Xia Minghan was a department-level cadre.

"Meng Jinxing?" Xia Minghan showed a thoughtful expression, "Ah, it seems to have such a name!" The old leader is too polite, with you in front of him, why does Xiao Meng need others to teach? ”

"What can I teach him? All I have is a lesson! Meng Qingping sighed and said, "Minghan, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to take care of him and let him go to a place that is conducive to exercise and growth!" ”

Xia Minghan had read Meng Jinxing's file and knew that he was Meng Qingping's son, and he had also thought in his heart, would this young man's work style be as beautiful as his file? Will it be different from his father?

Meng Qingping personally brought his son to the door, which made Xia Minghan a little surprised, and secretly sighed in his heart.

Once upon a time, Meng Qingping was a symbol of power in Dujiang, who would have thought that Meng Qingping would also find someone to intercede for his son?

Xia Minghan took a sip of tea from his fine porcelain cup, sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said slowly: "There is a place to go, and there is someone to take care of, but ......"

"Mingham, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Meng Qingping knew that what Xia Minghan hadn't said yet was the right topic.

Xia Minghan thought for a while and said, "In order to respond to the call of the central government, although the province's preferential treatment policy for selected and transferred students in the past two years is generous, the specific work arrangements are all for remote or economically backward areas at the grassroots level. As a result, many highly educated people have a serious psychological gap after they reach the grassroots level, and they cannot understand the deep significance of the party and the government providing them with a broad training platform. ”

He paused and said: "So, even if there are people to take care of the place, there is not enough mental preparation and the spirit of enduring hardships, my suggestion is to give up, after all, they are all poor mountains and bad waters!" ”

Meng Qingping felt that the reason why Xia Minghan said this was to stand up and let their father and son accept his affection.

With a slight hesitation, he took out an envelope from his trouser pocket and pushed it in front of Xia Minghan, "Minghan, this should fully reflect Xiaoxing's determination to go to the grassroots level, and I hope you will succeed." ”

Xia Minghan's eyes flashed with surprise.

Meng Jinxing started to enter the door, seeing his father, who had always been high-minded, pulling down his old face for himself to be careful, he was extremely unbearable in his heart, and then seeing that his father actually did such a thing as sending money in order to take care of himself, and a burst of sadness surged in his heart.

If, this is the lesson that my father bought with his political life, he would never need it!

"Uncle Xia, I don't need any care, and I'm not afraid of hardship, I just beg you to give me a chance to really exercise!"

Xia Minghan heard the words and examined Meng Jinxing for a long time before he said: "Old leader, go back, I know what happened to Xiao Meng." ”

Leaving the Xia family, Meng Jinxing remained silent.

Meng Qingping didn't feel sorry for the money and things he sent out, but he couldn't help but worry about such a stubborn son, and couldn't help but teach his son with his own feelings: "Xiaoxing, Dad doesn't want to be quiet, but this is officialdom, if you want to go well and be down-to-earth, you have to learn Han Xin when necessary, and trample your dignity under your feet!" ”
