"I still have some things to take care of at home, and I don't want to work overtime today. Can I go home first? As soon as Chen Ke said these humane words, he immediately shocked the comrades of the Politburo of the Central Committee. They thought that Chen Ke would stay up all night to handle official business as before. In the past few years, Chen Ke has always given priority to work and family.
Everyone knows the troubles of Chen Ke's family, among the prisoners of war who were released from the Beiyang Army, there is Chen Ke's "uncle" Sun Yongsheng, and Chen Ke's "aunt" He Qian is still living in Chen Ke's house. Relatives are often more difficult to serve than immediate family members, as we all know. But Chen Ke actually chose not to work overtime for the time being because of his relatives. This kind of reasonable thing is quite surprising.
Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't think of a reason to oppose Chen Ke at all. Chen Ke misunderstood the attitude of the comrades a little, and he said with some embarrassment: "When the matter is finished, I will come back and continue to deal with the work." The meeting will continue early tomorrow morning. ”
This workaholic attitude makes everyone can't help but feel a strong sympathy for Chen Kesheng. As the chairman of the People's Party, Chen Ke is too demanding of himself. If Chen Ke is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, it would be fine. But Chen Ke's performance was not to put pressure on his comrades, but really felt that he would delay the revolutionary work by doing things for himself. This kind of simple shame has made many comrades feel embarrassed.
"Chairman Chen, if you really want not to delay your work, then please be sure to deal with the affairs at home thoroughly before you come to work. You may not think about your housework at work, but I can't help but think about your housework now. So please, don't torture us, okay? Different from the sympathetic mentality of ordinary comrades, Qi Huishen's words were extremely thorough.
You Wei is a woman, she has long been dissatisfied with some of Chen Ke's life attitudes and practices, this time she finally found an opportunity, You Wei simply frank put her dissatisfaction clearly and clearly, "Chairman Chen, as the chairman of our People's Party, you can't set a wrong example for the party. Work is not a safe haven from your family's problems, and you have to do your best to solve them, even if you know that you can't solve them. It's useless to be scared and run away. If you can't go out of your way to solve it, do it with a clear conscience. You're definitely going to regret it later. ”
If someone else says this, it may be a little shocking. But in the eyes of many male cadres, You Yu himself has not been able to handle his own housework. You Gui's brother came to the base several times to persuade You Gui to go home, and the son-in-law that You Gui's family found for You Gui didn't mean to die at all, and he followed You Gui's brother to the base every time. Chen Ke's approach may be called "too much self-discipline" in the eyes of men, and the performance of You Wei is very incredible in the eyes of men.
"The comrades are right, because I myself failed to deal with the housework in time, and I really caused trouble for everyone. Then I won't be working overtime today. The meeting is now adjourned. Chen Ke understands that don't cause trouble to others. Sometimes it's not really about what you want your comrades to do. Since Chen Ke is the chairman of the party, he has the obligation to do his own affairs well, and the ostrichistic behavior in household affairs is also irresponsible for revolutionary work. And You Wei was right, Chen Ke actually didn't know how to solve his housework, so he was a little scared.
He Ying didn't expect Chen Ke to take the initiative to go home, and she didn't care about the resentment of Chen Ke in her heart, she stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ke, "Wenqing, you're back." You also help me persuade my aunt. ”
"Does Auntie have to go back?" Chen Ke scratched his head at this matter.
"Come in, and mumble outside." He Qian shouted in the room.
Since He Qian shouted, Chen Ke and He Ying entered the house together, and after the three of them sat down, He Qian said frankly: "Wen Qing, I know that you don't treat me as your relative, let alone treat Yongsheng as your uncle. To put it bluntly, I'm the same as Yongsheng and you, and we don't treat you as relatives. So Wen Qing, you don't have to think about how to pretend to be shown to outsiders. A manly man, just act worthy of his conscience. If you care too much about what others think, you're just asking for trouble. ”
This was said very clearly, and Chen Ke felt that a big stone in his heart fell to the ground in an instant. As He Qian said, Chen Ke used reason to inform He Qian and Sun Yongsheng that they were his relatives, but his feelings were completely unwilling to accept this fact. That's why it's a misconception. And He Qian admitted so frankly, Chen Ke had some respect for He Qian.
"Auntie, you're right. I'm so bad at being a person, I have to pretend to be like this. But I just can't pretend to be it. My little family is angry, which makes my aunt smile. This is the first time that Chen Ke has called Aunt He Qian without feeling uncomfortable. Now that his attitude has been corrected, Chen Ke has no squirming appearance when he speaks. "The whole He family has been imprisoned, auntie, if you go back and can't be sure, you will be implicated. When we overthrow the Manchu Qing, my aunt can go wherever you want. At that time, it will be too late to go back. ”
"I'm no longer from the He family, I'm now from the Sun family. I am now Sun Ho. There was a faint vigilance in He Qian's voice.
Where did Chen Ke understand the marriage relationship in 1908, and he didn't understand He Qian's attitude at all. Even if he was poured down with a basin of cold water, Chen Ke still didn't understand what He Qian meant. He continued to persuade: "What future can Sun Yongsheng have with Beiyang? Auntie, why did you follow Sun Yongsheng to accompany Beiyang and the Manchu Qing to the funeral? ”
As soon as she finished saying this, He Qian sneered mockingly, "Hehe." ”
And He Ying next to him was already angry, and his face turned a little blue.
"Wen Qing, you are so angry. You have only won so many battles, just like you have now entered Beijing and become emperor. He Qian sneered and said, "Since Wenqing mentioned the He family, it means that you regard me and He Ying as the daughters of the He family." Then let me ask you, when did my family He Ying know that you were a thief? ”
"Huh?" Chen Ke was very surprised by this question, he was actually a little strange, even if He Ying clearly knew that he was going to rebel more than a year ago, but He Ying's attitude towards himself did not change. still follow himself without hesitation.
"When you first rose up to rebel, how much territory did you have, and how many soldiers and horses did you have. Don't I know He Ying? But was He Ying afraid? Did you abandon you because you were alone? He Qian's voice was full of ridicule, "Marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, since you think that He Ying and I are both daughters of the He family, my daughter of the He family did not abandon her husband's family education because she was afraid." ”
Being ridiculed by He Qian like this, Chen Ke immediately felt a fever on his face. But his feelings of shame at this time were far less intense than those of admiration. No matter how stubborn He Qian is of feudal etiquette, or ignorance who can't recognize the situation. This personal loyalty attitude alone cannot but make Chen Ke feel admired. And Chen Ke can feel that He Ying is by no means an ignorant person, she knows what she is doing.
"Auntie, I actually don't care about Sun Yongsheng's life and death at all. He Ying loves you very much, respects you very much, and cares about you very much. I also feel that I have an obligation to your personal safety. If you are in danger, He Ying will be very sad. ”
He Qian knew that this was Chen Ke's true words, in fact, even if Chen Ke's "unashamed" words before made He Qian quite unhappy, she did not have any dislike for Chen Ke himself. He Qian is just a little strange, how did a self-righteous person like Chen Ke get incredible victories again and again? Why would a big man like Yuan Shikai look away from Chen Ke. A guy like Chen Ke, who doesn't understand human feelings at all, has achieved great success in the promising profession of "anti-thief". In addition to "admitting", He Qian couldn't see any other advantages of Chen Ke worthy of follow. If you have to compare, Sun Yongsheng is far more in line with the positive evaluation of this era than Chen Ke.
However, all those who met the positive evaluation of this era were all defeated by Chen Ke. He Qian suddenly felt that maybe she should know a little bit about what Chen Ke was capable of.
"What does Wen Qing want me to do?" He Qian asked.
"Auntie, in our base area, it is distributed according to work. Everyone has the right to employment. You see, He Ying can now support herself by working. My aunt was also very knowledgeable, whether she was a teacher in school, or employed in factories, governments, or hospitals. can have their own development. I think that even if you don't divorce Sun Yongsheng, then stay in the base and work. When things settle down, let's talk about the future. There is no need to go back to Beijing now. I don't know what my aunt thinks. ”
If He Qian originally mentioned He Ying because Chen Keqing was sincere, she was still ready to listen to Chen Ke's suggestion. After Chen Ke mentioned the suggestion of "divorce", He Ying's face became as ugly as it looked. He Qian hadn't heard of "divorce" this time, but she could understand the meaning of the word. The original patience completely flew out of the clouds.
"Chen Ke. Why don't you die? He Qian gave Chen Ke a very clear answer.
He Ying no longer cares about correcting Chen Ke's words, or giving Chen Ke's words a round. "Auntie......" He Ying shouted.
"He Ying, do you mean Wen Qing's words?" He Qian asked He Ying coldly.
He Ying paused and asked in her heart, she actually did not object to Chen Ke's words. She just thought that Chen Ke's words were really unskillful. He Qian asked so bluntly that He Ying bit her lip and was silent for a moment. She nodded seriously, "Auntie, I don't think you should be with Sun Yongsheng." That person is not a good company. ”
"Haha." He Qian really didn't expect He Ying to say this, she laughed angrily, "Indeed, Yongsheng is not as good as Wen Qing." He was older than Wen Yongji, and now he was only a petty officer with less than a thousand men. It can't be compared with Wen Qing and other big thieves who sit in Anhui. However, I said, I'm Sun Ho. I was born as a member of the Sun family, and I died as a ghost of the Sun family. This is my life. I admit it. I would like to thank both of you for your kind advice. But we have different views on life and death. Wen Qing, if you don't want to lose your identity and forcibly keep people, I hope you will send me back to Beijing tomorrow, okay? ”
