Chapter 53: Goodbye Creek

Abdul, vice chairman of the Tianshan CPPCC, has been excited and tired lately, and he has a lot to do every day, not only to attend some government meetings, but also to pay attention to Hassan's movements. He thought that as long as he still had a breath, he would enter the mosque and take the opportunity of preaching to instill a sense of independence in the believers, in his opinion, only this place was safe, and the government and the police could not help him, if they dared to touch him, he would encourage the believers to make trouble in the name of religion.

Abdul is a descendant of the first group of separatists in Western Xinjiang, and when he was young, he also caused several ** and riots in Western Xinjiang. However, in the face of a powerful state, these riots are like ants shaking a tree, the big tree does not move, but the ants fall to the ground. In the 80s, Abdul was arrested during a riot and sentenced to prison for 20 years.

Twenty years in prison has changed Abdul, and he is now an old man. The most obvious feature is that his attitude towards people and things has changed a lot. Gone is the arrogant and extreme Abdul of his youth, replaced by a humble and peaceful old man who holds the Qur'an in his hand every day. At the same time, he also started a jade business, and even started a carpet business with relatives abroad. Many people thought Abdul had quieted down. So, when he asked the government to make a pilgrimage abroad and fulfill his obligations as a Muslim, the government agreed to his application.

Abdul, who returned from abroad, used money and beauty to confuse a certain senior leader in Western Xinjiang at that time, and the leader not only helped him rehabilitate, but also arranged for him to be the vice chairman of the Tianshan CPPCC. Abdul became a patriotic religious figure. He frequently appeared in mosques, teaching Muslims to listen to the government and not to do bad things. He double-faced and tried to win political votes among Muslims. Privately, he set up an underground lecture center in Tianshan City, recruited young Muslims from all over Xinjiang, and took the opportunity to instill ethnic separatist ideas and religious extremist ideas in them, and incited his disciples to carry out terrorist activities to achieve the goal of establishing the West. One by one, he sent out the young people who had studied with him, including Hassan.

However, there is one person who has been staring at Abdul's every move, and that is Tian Daqing. This made Abdul uncomfortable from the inside out, so that he did not dare to act rashly, so he could only lead but not provoke, hiding in the shadows and looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Because of Abdul's status as vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Tian Daqing couldn't do anything about him, but Tian Daqing had arrested and killed Abdul's disciples over the years, and all the temporary organizations that Abdul had painstakingly managed had collapsed. He hated Tian Daqing so much. So when Hassan asked him for an assassination list, the first person he thought of was Tian Daqing.

Just when Abdul was secretly calculating in his heart how many days Tian Daqing would live, the doorbell rang again, and it was the secretary who went to open the door as usual. After a while, the secretary came back and reported: "A female reporter from the People's Political Consultative Conference newspaper who claims to be from Yanjing is coming to interview you, and this is a business card." ”

Abdul looked at the business card, and he remembered. A few days ago, a female reporter named Cheng Xiaoxi made a long-distance call from Yanjing, saying that she had read from a newspaper in western Xinjiang that Abdul, vice chairman of the Tianshan Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, had actively mobilized Muslim believers to carry out charity fund-raising activities, provided a lot of help to many Muslim children who could not afford to go to school, and had also raised funds for the construction of two mosques for Muslims. Among them, Abdul himself provided tuition fees for a number of out-of-school teenagers. The female journalist praised Abdul's kindness and hoped to interview the out-and-out religious figure in person.

Abdul thanked Cheng Xiaoxi for his praise, and he pretended to blame that he had not done enough, and it was better not to show his face in the newspaper. Cheng Xiaoxi said sincerely that she hopes that CPPCC workers across the country will learn from him, and she wants to make Abdul's propaganda and reporting a model in the CPPCC National Committee. Finally, Abdul warmly invited the female journalist to his home in Tianshan City.

Now, Cheng Xiaoxi appeared in front of Abdul with a smile. In Abdul's eyes, she was a stylish young girl with a pair of pink resin glasses without rims; Long hair dyed brownish chestnut; A mouthful of white teeth is neat and full; Born with a pair of doll-like eyes, extremely clear, and eyelashes like a fan. a dark green dress with a leather skirt of the same color tied around her waist; A dark red linen scarf was casually draped around his neck. The overall feeling is: good!

Abdul was accustomed to the long braided flower skirts of Uyghur women, as well as the body fragrance with big eyebrows and mutton, and suddenly came into contact with an elegant intellectual woman from the mainland with the smell of precious perfumes, and he was a little overwhelmed. He secretly regretted that in this life, he blindly threw himself into a political battlefield where he could not see the future, and never opened and enjoyed the world of women, and he concluded that the world of women should enrich men more, but it was too late, and he was about to die, and he didn't even have time to see the scenery.

Abdul had a crush on Cheng Xiaoxi for no reason, and Cheng Xiaoxi's every move was fresh and mysterious to him, and he felt comfortable with all his heart. This kind of comfort is like a walk in the forest after the rain.

Abdul humbly asked, "Beautiful Miss Cheng, what would you like to interview?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi smiled playfully and said, "I want to know how you are kind and generous." ”

Abdul said politely: "That's what I should do." ”

Cheng Xiaoxi sincerely complimented: "You know, I have admired noble people since I was a child, and in my eyes, you are extremely noble." ”

Abdul admits: "I am actually a very complicated person. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi praised: "Complex men are attractive, I really hope you are a heavenly book, let me interpret it well." ”

Abdul said in a word: "I'm afraid you can't read it." ”

Cheng Xiaoxi said innocently: "My father also talked to me like this. Why do you older people talk like this?"

Abdul asked with concern, "What did your father do?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi replied succinctly: "He works in a state-owned enterprise and does administrative work. ”

Abdul asked tentatively, "How long can you stay in the Western Frontier?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi pursed his red lips, threw his long hair behind him by the way, and said, "It depends on the interview, maybe I'll go back soon." ”

Abdul said amicably: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, let's take a look at the beautiful scenery of Western Xinjiang first!"

Cheng Xiaoxi said in a very dedicated tone: "Thank you for the invitation." Let's start with you sponsoring an out-of-school teenager. ”

Abdul magnanimously said: "What is there to say about this? The government pays me a monthly salary, and I personally consume almost nothing, and I have no hobbies other than work, and I am not particular about food and housing. However, I saw that there were still so many children who could not afford to study, and as long as I saw it, I could help it, so I did my best to sponsor it. We Muslims are obligated to do good deeds. By the way, Miss Cheng, have you read the Quran?"

"I have seen it roughly, but I haven't studied it carefully." Cheng Xiaoxi said a little embarrassed.

"We must read it carefully, and only by reading the Qur'an can we truly understand the hearts of our Muslims." Abdul kindly said, "I'll give you a copy, which I personally copied by hand." ”

"Okay. Thank you so much. Cheng Xiaoxi smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Abdul was as patient with Cheng Xiaoxi as he was with his own daughter or granddaughter. When Cheng Xiaoxi proposed to interview the children who were sponsored by Abdul to go to school, Abdul agreed, and offered to personally accompany Cheng Xiaoxi to the school for interviews.

The next day, Li Xiaoning walked into the office and browsed the newspaper on the desk as usual. Xijiang Daily published a signed article praising Abdul, vice chairman of the Tianshan CPPCC, for his charitable deeds for local Muslims in recent years. The article is signed by Cheng Xiaoxi.

For a moment, Li Xiaoning thought that he was wrong, there could be no such coincidence in this world, right? Is it a duplicate name? Regardless of whether this Cheng Xiaoxi is his ex-girlfriend or not, once the floodgates of memory are opened, they can no longer be closed. Cheng Xiaoxi is his first official girlfriend after all, how can he forget it so easily?

In fact, after the sky-high auction, Li Xiaoning went to Cheng Xiaoxi's unit to find her, but was told that Cheng Xiaoxi had resigned. Li Xiaoning asked Cheng Xiaoxi where he went? The other party was vague and unclear.

Later, Li Xiaoning also inquired about the news from other channels, and some said that Cheng Xiaoxi went to a foreign company to make a lot of money, and some people said that Cheng Xiaoxi went to make a lot of money. In short, there is no definite news, as if Cheng Xiaoxi has disappeared.

This latter kind of statement made Li Xiaoning annoyed, and he blamed Cheng Xiaoxi in his heart: Even if I, Li Xiaoning, are ruthless, I can't retaliate against me in this way.

Looking back now, a burst of sourness wells up in my heart, and I should never forget what I have experienced, let alone a real emotion? Li Xiaoning reviewed that he was indeed a bit too much in dealing with the issue of breaking up with Cheng Xiaoxi at that time, after all, the two had been in love for a few years. He couldn't tell whether his breakup with Cheng Xiaoxi was more selfish or machismo, no matter what the reason, it was all caused by changing his choice. Was it a mistake to give up on Cheng Xiaoxi? Am I wrong to get to where I am today?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning decided to call "Xijiang Daily" and ask about the author's situation. He was about to pick up the phone, but the phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. Li Xiaoning picked it up and said "hey", but the other party made no sound.

Li Xiaoning waited for a while, but the other party didn't say anything, so he asked impatiently: "Why don't you speak, who are you looking for?" ”

The other party still didn't speak, but there was a faint sobbing sound on the other end of the phone.

Li Xiaoning's heart chuckled, his heartbeat accelerated sharply, and even his voice began to tremble, he tried his best to control his feelings, and reluctantly said, "Is it you?" ”

"It's me!" The woman on the other end of the line cried.
