Chapter Seventy-Eight: Blood Is Thicker Than Water
After Song Qiong left, Qian Ning discussed with Yu Shengtong and Huang Ruhan, and then reported the situation to the provincial and regional leaders respectively.
Qian Ning first looked for Guo Zhongyuan, executive secretary of the provincial party committee.
At this time, the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee set up a first secretary and a second secretary, seven secretaries, and 21 members of the Standing Committee, of which the first secretary concurrently served as the director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, the second secretary and deputy director, and among the seven secretaries, Guo Zhongyuan was the executive secretary, ranking third in the party.
Qian Ning is Guo Zhongyuan's close confidant, once served as Guo Zhongyuan's secretary, and has just been released as deputy director of the Economic Commission.
This time, the visit of the London-Hong Kong delegation to Guangdong was of great political significance, and it was also because of this relationship that Qian Ning was able to contact in the middle and accumulate a thick qualification for himself.
This move can also be seen that Guo Zhongyuan's political stance is relatively open, and he can be regarded as a member of the reformists.
In contrast, Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee, who called Zhongling County today, has always been conservative, and Qian Ning can't guess the inside story.
Hearing Qian Ning's report on what happened in Zhongling County on the phone, Guo Zhongyuan reached out and took the provincial newspaper on the table, and turned to the second page, which was published with a report on Zhongling County.
"I've read the article in the provincial newspaper, and the things reported in the article are indeed very valuable for reference, but what is the actual situation, you are in Zhongling, you might as well investigate clearly."
After listening to Qian Ning's report, Guo Zhongyuan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, secretary, I see." Qian Ning hurriedly said.
Guo Zhongyuan said this part, the meaning is very clear, if the situation of Zhongling County Labor Service Company is indeed as stated in the report, then, this model has reference value.
If not, then it will be up to the official situation.
Guo Zhongyuan's meaning was very clear, but he did not make specific instructions and clear statements on the afternoon's affairs, what Qian Ning should do depends on his own understanding.
Guo Zhongyuan could not have been so specific with him.
"As for Secretary Lu's phone ......"
Speaking of this, Guo Zhongyuan paused slightly, if it were someone else, he would not mention this stubble at all, but Qian Ning used to be his secretary and often accepted his ear to mention face-to-face orders, Guo Zhongyuan was also used to mentioning this subordinate: "You can ask about the situation of this Song Qiong again, and in addition, you will also report the situation to Secretary Lu." ”
Qian Ning had already told Guo Zhongyuan about Song Qiong's acquaintance with Yuan Dong and Zheng Sheng of the Commerce Bureau, and Guo Zhongyuan obviously did not think that Secretary Lu was influenced by them.
And since Secretary Lu intervened in this matter, Qian Ning should take the initiative to report it when he was at the meeting.
Although Secretary Lu's phone call was brought to Yuan Shixiong, Yuan Shixiong's level was obviously not enough to have a direct conversation with Secretary Lu.
Guo Zhongyuan and Secretary Lu are not the same faction, and their usual political positions are not the same, and Guo Zhongyuan also intends to establish communication with Secretary Lu through this incident.
Hanging up Qian Ning's phone, Guo Zhongyuan thought about it, picked up the newspaper on the table, got up and walked out of the office, and came to the office of Li Changyun, the secretary of the provincial party committee who was in charge of propaganda next door.
At the same time that Qian Ning reported to Guo Zhongyuan, Yu Shengtong also called Xue Qixian, secretary of the Huishan Prefectural Party Committee and director of the Huishan Regional Revolutionary Committee.
"Yesterday, I heard Xiao Han say that a cadre from Zhongling County came to the area to cry out for grievances, and he wanted to set up the county industrial and commercial bureau and fight it, is it this Song Qiong?" Xue Qixian had heard a little rumor.
Yu Shengtong hurriedly said: "It should be, Zhongling County is also very annoyed by this. ”
"Annoyed? I don't think they can tolerate the slightest objection and don't know how to self-reflect. Xue Qixian reprimanded.
Yu Shengtong can hold such an important position as the director of the regional economic commission, and he is naturally also Xue Qixian's cronies, compared to Guo Zhongyuan's caution, Xue Qixian seems very direct.
"Originally, I just wanted to find out what was going on, but I didn't expect such a fuss, just right, you just give me an investigation, what is going on, if the Zhongling County Office really beats people, who is involved, and it will be done to the end."
Song Qiong didn't know at this time that his matter had caused an uproar in the provincial and prefectural party committees, and this was just the beginning, and more magnificent changes would be further clarified with the clear statements of more heavyweight dignitaries at the provincial and local levels.
What he pursued, hoping that individual policies would become clear, would also become a reality with the successive statements of the No. 1 and No. 2 figures of the provincial party committee, and even the republication of the articles of the provincial newspaper by the central mouthpiece media "Mass Daily".
Beginning in 1980, all localities in Guangdong Province and even many localities in the country began to apply for formal individual business licenses, which greatly promoted the development of the domestic individual economy.
In the evening, the county held a banquet at the State Guest House to entertain the Lungang delegation, and Qian Ning, Yu Shengtong, Huang Ruhan and others all attended, but they did not see Yuan Shixiong, Chen Wenyao and others.
Yuan Shixiong said that he was not sick, and Chen Wenyao was said to have gone to Huishan, and it was estimated that he wanted to find a way to eliminate the negative impact of the afternoon incident.
Although the time is very short, the chefs of the State Guest House still concocted a few sumptuous dishes, but they may not be to the taste of the businessmen of London and Hong Kong.
Big fish and big meat, for these people in London and Hong Kong who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are a little tired.
Fortunately, everyone is not just for eating, communication and understanding are the most important things.
The cups came and went, and the slightest tension in the afternoon disappeared without a trace.
During the banquet, Hong Kong businessmen, including Wang Minde, also raised doubts about the hinterland policy, and Qian Ning and Yu Shengtong successively stated that the attitude of the province and the region is very firm, and the general direction of reform and opening up will never change.
Wang Minde announced on the spot that Hop Kee intends to build a star-rated hotel in Zhongling County to change the backward situation of the hotel and guesthouse industry in the mainland.
When the wine is gone, everyone is happy.
The next day, Song Qiong summoned the people of the labor service company and asked them to do everyone's work and set up stalls on the streets again, which was also a task assigned to him by the county.
Only by getting everyone back on the streets can the businessmen of London and Hong Kong be convinced of the mainland's determination to reform and open up.
However, everyone still has lingering fears about the events of the past few days.
Only a few people had special trust in Song Qiong, and seeing that he was fine, they bravely took to the streets and took the risk of setting up a stall.
At noon, Song Qiong was having dinner with Zhao Guoqing and others at the State Guest House, when suddenly Zhou Qi came over and said that someone was looking for him outside.
Song Qiong was a little strange, Zhou Qi should be very aware of the important surname of the Lungang inspection group, if there is nothing special, someone will definitely be blocked if someone comes to him.
"It was brought by Song Jun, there are four women, one of whom said that it was your sister, and she was looking for you in an emergency." Zhou Qi whispered.
Song Qiong's matter has not yet been decided, but everyone knows that he is not simple, and he actually has the secretary of the provincial party committee to support him.
At the beginning, Secretary Lu's call was received by Zhou Qi, he was almost frightened, and looking at Song Qiong at the moment, he was faintly afraid in his heart.
"Song Zhen?" Song Qiong hurriedly greeted Wang Minde and the others, got up and walked out of the box.
He was very strange, he didn't know what Song Zhen was looking for him, and who the other three women were.
Song Qiong walked to the lobby of the State Guest House, but he didn't see Song Zhen, only Song Jun was waiting there, and said to him, "Ah Qiong, they are waiting for you in the box over there." ”
Song Qiong nodded, and while following Song Jun to the box, he casually asked, "Who else besides Song Zhen?" ”
"There is also Comrade Chen Yingshang, and I don't know the other two, one in his twenties and the other in his forties and fifties." Song Jun said.
Song Qiong was shocked, and his body froze at the door of the box.
He had already thought of a possibility.
The other two women, the one in her twenties, may be Zhao Jingxi who returned to the capital not long ago, and the woman in her forties and fifties is likely to be his biological mother Tang Yilin.
As a human being in two lives, Song Qiong originally thought that he could face it calmly.
However, when it came to the moment he was about to face, he felt his heart beating wildly, and he couldn't help but be excited.
"Ah Qiong, what's wrong with you?" Song Qiong's strange appearance was obvious, so that Song Jun on the side also saw it.
Song Qiong took a long breath, spit it out again, and slowly reached out to push open the box door.
He resisted his excitement, walked into the room "as if nothing happened", closed the door, and then looked up at the people in the room.
Song Zhen, Chen Yingshang, Zhao Jingxi, and ......
A scrawny, gray-haired woman, with her thin body like a trembling reed in the wind, stood up tremblingly and stretched out her arms to him.
Song Qiong had 11,000 plans, and he had forgotten all of them at this time, and when he saw Tang Yilin like this, his heart hurt like a knife.
He took a few steps forward, stretched out his arms, took his mother in his arms, and called out in a low voice: "Mom......"
Song Jun, Song Zhen, and even Chen Yingshang and Zhao Jingxi, who had known for a long time, were stunned, they thought about introducing the two of them, then asking about the situation, and finally recognizing their relatives.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Qiong came in, he hugged Tang Yilin and called him "Mom".
Tang Yilin didn't hesitate at all, tears gushed out like spring water, her arms tightly wrapped around Song Qiong's waist, and responded: "Hey-"
Song Qiong's tears also flowed down all of a sudden, not only the encounter in this life, but also the regrets of the previous life, all of which suddenly broke out at this moment.
"Child, I'm sorry for you, and my mother will never leave you again!" Tang Yilin hugged Song Qiong and couldn't stop whimpering and crying.
"What's going on?" Song Jun stood aside dumbfounded, he really didn't know what was going on.
Zhao Jingxi kept wiping her tears, she knew that her mother had been regretting her brother's affairs all these years, she had been looking for her brother in Huishan for two years, but she had not found her brother, and she almost gave up the idea of living.
My younger brother has had a very difficult time over the years, and in just a few days since she returned to the capital, she almost suffered a catastrophe.
Now, they are finally reunited, and she, as a daughter and sister, is sincerely happy.
Happy and sad, tears welled up in their eyes.
Chen Ying's eyes were also a little red, and this scene moved her very much.
Song Zhen frowned, staring at Song Qiong with confused eyes.
Like Song Qiong, she knows that she is not the biological child of Song Wengen and Shen Lanying, but she doesn't know when Song Qiong found her biological mother.
She was a little happy and a little disappointed.
Song Qiong shed tears, his mood stabilized a little, he controlled himself, gently touched Tang Yilin's gray hair, and looked up at Zhao Jingxi and the others.
"Sister Jingxi, I—as soon as I see it...... I can't help but call my mother ......."
The play still has to be acted, even if Song Qiong just wants to hug her mother Tang Yilin and call her mother.
But there are some things that have to be made clear.
Zhao Jingxi wiped her eyes and smiled with tears: "I just said, you, you are my own brother, you should call your mother." ”
Zhao Jingxi walked over, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Tang Yilin's shoulder, and said softly: "Mom, don't cry, we should be happy to see Ah Qiong!" You don't look at what he looks like, but he is handsome, exactly the same as the photo of my uncle when he was young. ”
Tang Yilin let go of her arm, raised her tear-stained face, and looked at Song Qiong with blank eyes: "It's exactly the same, look at this brain, this eye, ...... nose"
Tang Yilin stretched out her hand and stroked Song Qiong's face: "Child, you have suffered all these years!" ”
As she spoke, Tang Yilin's tears welled up again.
Song Qiong grabbed Tang Yilin's hand and pressed it on his face, his face kept grinding on his palm, and his eyes were soft: "Mom, when I see you, I think you are my mother, so I want to call you my mother......"
"I am your mother, I am your mother, you are my son, and my mother will never leave you in the future." Tang Yilin said excitedly.
Song Qiong nodded vigorously: "Well, Mom, I've also suffered you." ”
"However, the past is gone, and in the future, our mother and son, our family will be together, reunited, and beautiful." Song Qiong smiled happily.
"Hmm!" Tang Yilin nodded, but showed a sad expression: "It's a pity, Zhongyi, your father can't see it!" ”、
"Dad is in the spirit of heaven, and he will definitely see it!"
The scene of recognizing Tang Yilin's mother and son was somewhat unexpected by Song Qiong, and it was not in the imagination of Zhao Jingxi, Chen Ying and others.
It can be described as true and transcendent.
However, including Zhao Jingxi and Chen Yingshang, everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and even felt that it should be like this, and they didn't need any other evidence to prove that Song Qiong and Tang Yilin were mother and son.
Only when blood is thicker than water can you be so uncontrollable.
Fortunately, there was no one else from the Zhao family here, otherwise, they would definitely ask a lot of questions, thinking that he was deliberately trying to close the big tree of the Zhao family.
Strictly speaking, there is no direct evidence to prove that Song Qiong is the child born to Zhao Zhongyi and Tang Yilin.
For Tang Yilin and Zhao Jingxi, they didn't need any evidence to determine that Song Qiong was that child.
It was a trust where blood is thicker than water.
Of course, Song Qiong knew more, but he didn't need to prove anything at this moment.
This feeling is more pure.
Finally, Tang Yilin's mood stabilized, but she just grabbed Song Qiong's hand and refused to let go.
Song Qiong didn't want to do anything else, he asked Song Jun to go over, and said hello to Zhou Qi and the people from the Lungang inspection group, saying that he had something to do temporarily and could not continue to accompany them.
Then, they ordered some dishes in the box and talked to each other while eating. (To be continued.) )
