The western suburbs of Nanpu County are full of large vegetable fields, and vegetable farmers can be seen carrying burdens to work in the fields from time to time. At this point, the concrete pavement was replaced by a dusty, potholed dirt road. The car drove three or four hundred meters along this dirt road, and then saw a low bungalow.

The mottled walls of the bungalow were crawling with creepers, and the roof tiles were covered with moss, making it look dilapidated. The guard officer sitting in the passenger seat took the address handed to him by Guan Weiping, carefully checked it twice on the military navigation equipment, and then turned back to the other party Hongda and said:

"Chief, this is the place you are looking for."

Hearing this, Fang Hongda straightened up slightly, and looked over with a hint of excitement in his eyes. He was also shocked by the dilapidated scene in front of him, the development of the urban-rural junction of the small county town is indeed quite backward.

Could it be that Xiaohua has lived in such a place for so many years? Fang Hongda felt a little unbelievable, the little princess of the Han family, who was famous in the capital at the beginning, actually lived such a poor life in a small town on the southeast border. What is it that keeps her going?

Fang Hongda thought for a while and said to the guard officer who was driving:

"Pull over! Let's go down for a walk! ”

"Yes! Heads! The guard officer didn't say much, but his answer was crisp and clear.

After the car was stable, Fang Hongda didn't wait for Guan Weiping to come around and open the door, so he opened the door and stepped out of the car.

The four of them walked towards the bungalow not far away, a small truck carrying vegetables drove by, raising a large cloud of dust, Guan Weiping couldn't help frowning slightly, but Fang Hongda turned a blind eye to the dust and walked forward with steady steps.

After a while, the four of them came to the courtyard of the bungalow. It was very quiet at noon, and from time to time you could hear the crowing of roosters in the distance and the tireless cries of the trees.

The broken wood door of the small courtyard is not locked, and through the huge gap in the door, you can vaguely see loofahs and fruit trees planted in the yard, green loofah vines crawling all over the shelves, a few chicks are happily pecking under the leadership of the hens, and you can also see a middle-aged woman sitting on a low stool laboriously digging pigweed.

Fang Hongda stopped, turned around and ordered:

"Wei Ping, a few of you are waiting for me outside, and I'll just go in by myself."

Guan Weiping hesitated for a moment and said:

"Yes! Secretary, stay safe! ”

The two guard officers tacitly observed the surrounding terrain and then began to stand guard near the courtyard gate. Fang Hongda raised his hand and gently pushed the door open. Guan Weiping found sharply that Secretary Fang's hands had always been steady, but today he was actually a little trembling.

Han Xuehua filled a basket of pigweed, stood up and rubbed his hands on the apron a few times, then raised his hand to straighten out the somewhat messy bangs, and didn't care about the sweat beads on his face after hard work, reached out and hammered his sore shoulder, and struggled to move the big basket of pigweed, ready to go to the pigsty in the corner of the yard to feed the pigs.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open.

Who will come to the door at noon? Han Xuehua raised his eyes suspiciously, his eyes suddenly froze, and the whole person froze there all of a sudden, and the basket full of pigweed in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. Han Xuehua had a trace of tears in his eyes, looking at the childhood friend in front of him who he could see every day in the Southeast News Network, and all the scenes from the past came to his heart.

Fang Hongda was no better, the moment Han Xuehua raised his head, Fang Hongda immediately recognized her. Although the changes of more than 20 years have left deep traces on Han Xuehua's body, especially the hardships of these years, which have made Han Xuehua age prematurely, and he looks like a sixty-year-old man. But Fang Hongda can still see the traces of the unruly little princess from Han Xuehua's eyebrows.

Especially the way Han Xuehua bit his chin lightly, it was exactly the same as when he was a child.

"Xiaohua......" Fang Hongda, who has always been as steady as Mount Tai, has a faint tremor in his voice.

"Third brother...... You, why are you here? Han Xuehua felt like she was in a dream. Fang Hongda has served in Southeast Province all these years, and Han Xuehua can see him on TV almost every day, but when the real person appeared in front of her for the first time, there was still an irrepressible excitement.

I've had a really hard time all these years......

Fang Hongda's steps were as vigorous as a young man, and he walked in front of Han Xuehua in three steps and two steps, looking her up and down. has not seen him for more than 20 years, and Han Xuehua has long since lost his youthful and lovely appearance. The tribulations of life have carved the traces of time on Han Xuehua's face. There were already crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and most of the green silk on her head was now gray, as well as the calloused hands and patched coarse cloth clothes due to perennial labor, which made Fang Hongda couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Xiaohua ...... You...... You've suffered! Fang Hongda's eyes were a little red, and he asked reproachfully, "I've been here in the southeast for more than three years, you can't know it, why don't you come to me?" ”

Han Xuehua let out a long sigh, turned around and moved a plastic stool under the windowsill, and said:

"Third brother, sit down for a while! The conditions at home are simple, don't dislike it! ”

Fang Hongda found that although Han Xuehua was dressed plainly, he could still see everyone's beautiful and good upbringing, and his whole body was full of a quiet and soft bookish atmosphere, which was obviously an indelible imprint left by the life of the big family in the early years.

"Xiaohua, you sue Third Brother Sù, what happened back then that would make you go so decisively. Would you rather endure such hardships in the mountains than return to Beijing? Fang Hongda asked eagerly after sitting down.

Han Xuehua also moved a stool, sat down next to Fang Hongda, sighed faintly and said:

"Alas...... Third brother, don't ask, after so many years, I don't want to mention it again. ”

"Okay, don't ask, no matter what happens between you and your family, it's an internal matter of your family, I don't have to ask, but Xiaohua, aren't you even hiding from the third brother?" When Fang Hongda said this, his tone was a little indignant, "If I hadn't met Fang Yang, I would never have thought that Han Xiaomei, who I had been looking for for a long time, would have lived in the small county under my rule for more than 20 years!" ”

"Yangyang?" As soon as Han Xuehua heard this, her face suddenly changed slightly, and her tone became urgent, she turned around and grabbed Fang Hongda's hand, and asked eagerly, "Third brother, has Yang Yang caused trouble in Rongcheng?" Why is he so unreassuring! ”

Except for the moment when Fang Hongda first entered the door, Han Xuehua has always had a calm and breezy look, but when she mentioned her only son, she immediately became calm, and her eyes showed an anxious look.

Fang Hongda hurriedly said:

"Xiaohua, don't worry, Fang Yang didn't cause anything at all, on the contrary, he also made a great contribution!"

"What can he do as a child? Third brother, don't comfort me! Han Xuehua listened to Fang Hongda's words, and instead of relaxing, she asked more worriedly, "Tell me quickly, what trouble did he cause?" It's all alarmed to you, the secretary of the provincial party committee! ”

Seeing Han Xuehua's appearance, Fang Hongda couldn't help but be a little amused, and hurriedly told Han Xuehua everything that happened to Fang Yang during this time. From the first time I saw Fang Yang participate in the calligraphy and painting competition and was accepted by Master Bai Yan as a closed disciple, including the fact that he bought a second-hand house in Rongcheng, and later went to participate in the international law forum to fight the hijackers and bandits and make a forced landing.

Han Xuehua listened and couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise, until Fang Hongda spoke dryly and finished all of Fang Yang's recent deeds, Han Xuehua still looked dumbfounded, and after a while, she muttered:

"Third brother, are you joking with me...... What kind of person Yang Yang is, I still don't know? The things you said couldn't have happened to him at all. Third brother, you must have made a mistake! ”

In Han Xuehua's eyes, Fang Yang has been mediocre since he was a child, and his personality is a bit introverted, he has been timid and afraid of things since he was a child, and he has been bullied by other children a lot. The brain is not particularly smart, and he can't speak at the age of two, and he usually feels slower than other people's children.

How could such an ordinary person, who would be submerged if he was put into the pile, do so many earth-shattering things in just one or two months? In particular, the brave hijackers even drove a giant passenger plane to make a successful forced landing, saving more than 200 lives, which is ...... How could it be that Yang Yang did it?

Fang Hongda couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this:

"Xiaohua, why are you so unconfident in your child? Fang Yang is really a very good child, and you have grown up in a big family since you were a child, and he must not be bad under his ears. Let's talk about the painting and calligraphy competition! Master Bai Yan praised Fang Yang's calligraphy level! Xiaohua, you have laid a good foundation for your child! ”

"Calligraphy level?" Han Xuehua was even more confused, "Yang Yang practiced calligraphy for a few days when he was a child, but he taught himself all that, and we didn't have the money to let him enroll in any study classes." ”

"That shows even more that this kid is a genius!" Fang Hongda said with a smile, "Okay Xiaohua, you can ask him in person when the child comes back in the future, can I, the secretary of the provincial party committee, still make the wrong person?" Besides, the reason why I was able to find you was because Fang Yang told me about your situation! ”

"Huh? Yang Yang told you! Han Xuehua suddenly became nervous, "Third brother, you didn't sue him about the Han family, did you?" ”

"No, I don't think that kid should know anything about your situation, and I think you must have a hard time if you don't tell him, so I didn't dare to overstep the line." Fang Hongda said.

Han Xuehua let out a long sigh of relief, with a relaxed look on his face, and then said:

"Third brother, I don't want Yang Yang to know about this, I hope you keep it secret for me. The life of a wealthy family may not be as beautiful as it seems! I only hope that Yang Yang can spend his life healthy and peacefully, and he doesn't need to achieve much, just live an ordinary and down-to-earth life. ”

Fang Hongda nodded silently, and then said meaningfully:

"Xiaohua, I think your son is destined to be ordinary!"
