Chapter 35: Motivation
The scale of the family banquet is not large, it is these few people.
The old Liu family has strict rules, which are reflected in every moment, and the eating is also well-behaved, and no one speaks. However, today the old man made an exception and drank a small glass of rice wine.
Although the old man was born in the military, he was born and died during the war years, fought countless vicious battles, and escaped death several times, but the amount of alcohol has not been very large. When I got older, I basically didn't drink much anymore.
This small glass of rice wine is undoubtedly for Liu Weihong to make an exception.
Liu Weihong is okay, but Lin Meiru is very excited. Because of her civilian background, for more than 20 years, she has been cautious in Lao Liu's family and did not dare to make mistakes. Especially Liu Weihong was very rebellious in the past few years, and Lin Meiru couldn't hold her head up at home. Now that the old man has given Liu Weihong such a big face, how can Lin Meiru not be overjoyed?
"Weihong, you eat, eat more, life in the countryside is hard, you are the time to grow your body......"
Lin Meiru also didn't care about the rules of the old Liu family, so she picked up the dishes for her son.
"Thank you, Mom, it's okay, school life is good, I can eat well if I can eat well."
Liu Weihong said with a smile, and couldn't help but think of Tang Qiuye again. Since the two of them "clarified their relationship", Tang Qiuye has taken care of him even more, almost all of them live in school, and they only go back to that home in Qingfeng City every three or five days.
Seeing that Lin Meiru was a little overjoyed, Liu Chengjia coughed lightly and reminded his wife not to "get carried away". Lin Meiru woke up like a dream, and quickly stopped picking vegetables, but couldn't help but glance at Du Yuxin from time to time.
Du Yuxin is everyone's best girl, although the prominence of the family is not as good as the old Liu family, it can be regarded as a small family of Jingshi, the old man in the family was a minister before the Revolution, and later persecuted to death, but it is always a family with a head and a face. In the old Liu family, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Chengsheng has a high position, and Du Yuxin is naturally the "leader" of a sister-in-law. Although Ping Yueli didn't deliberately put on a show, that kind of high-minded demeanor was still very exciting to Lin Meiru.
Now that Liu Weihong has been recognized by the old man, Lin Meiru feels particularly proud of her eyebrows.
Lin Meiru doesn't know the inside story of the political struggle, but Liu Weihong's article helped the old Liu family a lot, not to mention Lin Meiru, even other wealthy families think so, Lin Meiru naturally knows it.
Going back a few months, who knows how the political situation will change so dramatically?
At that time, Comrade Yuehua did not criticize Liu Chengsheng by name, how tense the atmosphere in the old Liu family was, Du Yuxin didn't talk to Lin Meiru anymore, and pretended not to see it when she met, and ignored it.
Now, all of them have changed their smiling faces.
When Du Yuxin saw Lin Meiru looking over, she naturally knew what she meant, and she smiled and nodded every time. It seems to be polite to ten points, and the arrogance in his bones has not diminished at all. Liu Weihong has certainly made a contribution this time, but in the final analysis, he is still a small character, and the affairs of the old Liu family have to be decided by the old man and Liu Chengsheng.
This will not change.
Du Yuxin's politeness to Lin Meiru is, to put it bluntly, the politeness of Emperor Laozi to meritorious ministers.
After the matter has passed, the emperor is still the emperor, the minister is still the minister, can it be reversed?
Lin Meiru couldn't help but be a little deflated.
Yes, after all, they are "second rooms", and it is not so easy to get past the "long room". Liu Weihong happened to make a meritorious contribution this time, but it only offset some previous bad impressions, and the old man initially affirmed him. In the future, if you want to get ahead, like Liu Weidong, you can become a deputy director at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, and there is still a long way to go.
Thinking of this, Lin Meiru glanced at Liu Chengjia beside her again. It will take a long time for the son to grow into a towering tree, and it will not be too difficult for the husband to go further. Liu Chengjia is now at the level of a full division, and a step further is the deputy army, a senior cadre of the Eight Classics, maybe he can be promoted to the rank of general. At that time, Lin Meiru will have much more confidence to speak.
The general's wife and the colonel's wife, can that be a grade?
After eating, the old man stood up and said, "Let's all go and rest." Cheng Sheng, Cheng Jia, Wei Dong, Wei Hong, follow me to the study. ”
The children and grandchildren hurriedly agreed.
Du Yuxin and Lin Meiru were overjoyed, but Liu Chengai's face was a little gloomy. The old man called the eldest brother and the second brother into the study to talk, which is nothing, but even Liu Weidong and Liu Weihong, the two little characters, have a share, but they put her aside, how can Liu Cheng's love be embarrassing?
Speaking of which, she is a serious deputy department and bureau-level cadre.
Liu Weidong has always been the "successor" of the old Liu family, and it doesn't matter if he enjoys this kind of "treatment", Liu Weihong is just a rural teacher, and he even had to listen to the news, and he left her alone.
Isn't the old man confused?
Liu Chengai thought hatefully in his heart.
It's just that the old man understood what he said, and Liu Cheng was no longer satisfied with his love, and he didn't dare to disobey the old man's intentions.
Lin Meiru knew everything about Liu Chengai's thoughts, stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Liu Chengai's hand, and said, "Chengai, let's go, let's go over there to talk to my mother." ”
Liu Chengai squeezed out a smile on his face and reluctantly followed Lin Meiru.
After entering the study, Liu Chengsheng helped the old man to sit on the sofa, and Liu Weidong tightly put cotton cloth cushions on the armrests of the sofa, and made tea for everyone. He and Liu Chengsheng often go into the old man's study to talk, and all this is very skillful.
Entering the old man's study, Liu Weihong was the first time. Even when I was young, I didn't enjoy such treatment. When he entered the house, he stood in a proper manner, and he didn't scramble to make tea and run errands, but just paid attention to the old man's every move.
The old man closed his eyebrows slightly, leaning on the sofa, as if he was a little tired.
Liu Weihong's heart was sour, the old man's body was really getting worse and worse.
After being busy for a while, everyone sat down, Liu Weidong did not sit next to Liu Chengsheng, but moved a chair and sat on the side of the old man, as if he was ready to support the old man at any time, and like a secretary who made records.
Liu Chengsheng and Liu Chengjia did not express any displeasure.
Perhaps Liu Weidong has always sat in this position.
Liu Weihong sat at the bottom of Liu Cheng's family, thinking so.
"Wei Hong, tell me, why did you write that article?"
Liu Chengsheng asked slowly.
This is a "big mystery", although the old Liu family, specifically Liu Chengsheng himself, has benefited a lot. But they have never figured out Liu Weihong's "motive" for writing this article in the first place, and they are always unsure.
Liu Weihong did not rush to answer, but glanced at the old man. The old man, who had been slightly closing his eyes, also opened his eyes at this time, and the old man nodded very slightly, the meaning was very clear, and asked Liu Weihong to answer this question. This was originally what the old man wanted to ask, but the old man was old and couldn't bear to work hard, so Liu Chengsheng endorsed him. Many times, there is still a tacit understanding between the old man and Liu Chengsheng's father and son. What the old man thinks, Liu Chengsheng can always guess a rough idea.
Liu Weihong knows very well that what he says in this study today will determine what kind of position he has in the old man's mind. As long as the old man approves of him, then the old man can give him a day's help when he is alive.
There will also be a "final verdict" today as to why he wrote that article!
Presumably, everyone is still suspecting that he was instructed by others to be detrimental to the old Liu family and to drive a wedge between the old Liu family and Comrade Yuehua. However, the person who instructed him did not expect that the situation had changed abruptly, and the original "doing it" had become prescient and firm!
This is called intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows!
Rao is like this, and he can't help but find out the instructor. If he can instruct Liu Weihong once, it is possible to instruct him a second and third time, is it possible to have this kind of good luck every time?
"Grandpa, uncle, dad, eldest brother, why am I writing this article out of analysis and judgment of the whole situation!"
Liu Weihong took a breath and said slowly. And not afraid of the huge, call everyone one by one. At this moment, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a very solemn expression. One cannot easily doubt what he said.
Liu Chengsheng asked, "Tell me about your analysis and judgment." ”
"Last time on my grandfather's 80th birthday, I said that some cadres, especially those at the grassroots level, have a very serious idea of privilege. Eating and drinking at public expense, spending at public expense, favoritism and irregularities have emerged one after another, and considerable dissatisfaction has accumulated in grassroots society, and social contradictions have become more acute. Therefore, I think that this contradiction will erupt and then be exploited by some people with ulterior motives as a reason to attack the party and the political axe......"
Liu Weihong said unhurriedly.
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Liu Weihong did say this, no one cared about it at the time, Liu Chengsheng and Liu Weidong also made an unceremonious rebuttal, thinking that Liu Weihong was alarmist.
Now, it has been proven by facts.
In this way, Liu Weihong is really prescient.
"Grandpa, our country is undergoing an unprecedented great reform, an all-round reform. Looking at the great reforms in ancient and modern times, there is one most basic premise, that is, such reforms must be carried out on the basis of social stability. If the regime is unstable and the society is unstable, any reform will not bear fruit, but will only cause social unrest. Therefore, I believe that Comrade Yuehua's idea of completely ignoring the construction of the ideological field and only grasping economic construction is incomplete. That's why I wrote that article. I think it is necessary to remind that when society is in chaos, it will not do the country any good, only the careerists! ”
Liu Weihong's speech speed was relatively slow, almost sentence by sentence, and he spoke very clearly.
The old man's eyebrows were raised, and the others were even more shocked.
PS: No. 1, No. 1 on the New Book List!
As soon as Pie got home, I couldn't wait to turn on the computer and see a scene that surprised me. It's the first on the list of new books. Although it only surpassed the fat man of seventy-two by a few hundred points (Khan, in fact, seventy-two is slimmer than me), this was the first time in the history of pie that it stood at the top of the new book list. Even though it's the last day of the week, I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the end. However, the pie is still a pleasure.
It was all of you who sent "The Official Family" to this position! Thank you for your support and love for "The Official Family"! The pie bows deeply here!!
