Daughter Ning Yuyan called and said, Dad, you come to the provincial capital this weekend, okay? I'm graduating from elementary school soon, and I want you to come to my graduation show! Ning Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and said with a smile, Okay, I must rush back.

My daughters are 12 years old, and I haven't been able to attend a parent-teacher meeting for six years in primary school. Putting down the phone, he looked out the window intently, the camphor tree that was only tall last year is now almost reaching the window lattice on the third floor.

The annual college entrance examination is coming, and this year's eight key high schools in the county have made great improvements compared with previous years, and have the potential to make a comprehensive breakthrough. Ning Zhiyuan went to the school many times, and after discussing with the front-line faculty and staff, he made a bold decision and won an annual budget of one million to reward the results of the college entrance examination. This unprecedented initiative is not for the sake of rewarding brave men, but also for the sake of prioritizing education and demonstrating respect and support for teachers and talents.

Li Mingxi, secretary of the county party committee, came back from attending a meeting in the city, came to Ning Zhiyuan's office in person, saw him immersed in a material, and said with a smile, Yo, Minister Ning, he's busy?! Ning Zhiyuan heard the secretary's voice, looked up, quickly stood up, and said with a smile, the secretary personally cares about his subordinates, and he is flattered. Li Mingxi sat down on the sofa casually, patted the armrest and said, Come and sit. Ning Zhiyuan walked over, sat down next to each other, and asked curiously, the secretary has an arrangement, just notify me.

Li Mingxi said with a smile, I just came back from the city, I haven't returned to the office yet, I came directly to you, today at the Municipal Party Committee Education Work Conference, the deputy mayor in charge of the focus on praising Yuezhou, said that in the past two years, the quality of high school education in Yuezhou has been greatly improved, showing a trend of surpassing municipal high schools, Secretary Wan and Mayor Deng are very satisfied, but also deeply surprised. Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile that Zhao Dong, director of the county education bureau, has been working in the education system, and the professional field is promoted by professionals, which is not true.

Li Mingxi nodded, smiled and said, you are the real leader, I also reported to the secretary and mayor, after the meeting, the deputy mayor talked to me, can I transfer you to the Municipal Education Bureau. Ning Zhiyuan sighed and said nothing with a smile. Li Mingxi continued, I asked if it was the head of the government or the deputy director, the deputy mayor meant that you went up to take charge of education and teaching, I didn't agree, you won't blame me, right? Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile, how can I be secretary, I am still willing to stay in Yuezhou to work, after all, I am a native of Yuezhou, and it is also my wish for many years to make more contributions to my hometown.

According to the investigation and feedback of the Pengyun Group task force, among the county-level cadres, you are the only one who is not involved in the slightest, and it is not easy, although individual cadres are not enough to pursue the red line of accountability, but the problem still exists, so I hope you will stay in Yuezhou and undertake some more important central work. When Ning Zhiyuan heard this, his mind came to mind the appearance of clapping Xiang Zhihong at the conference that day. Li Mingxi said, I have learned about your political experience, and I have also communicated with some leaders, and everyone agrees that you are young and excellent, thoughtful, hurried, courageous, and far-reaching.

Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile, Secretary, I don't have any ideas, I am already very grateful to the organization as a member of the Standing Committee, if the secretary considers my other positions, Zhiyuan will completely obey the arrangement, be conscientious in any position, and strive to do a good job. Li Mingxi nodded and said, Okay, at present, the candidates for the two important posts have not been decided for a long time, I recommended you to the municipal party committee to be the deputy secretary, but did not get an affirmative reply, this position is more sensitive, and it needs to be comprehensively considered and weighed, you must not only be mentally prepared to take office, but also be mentally prepared not to take office, I believe that the organization will stand in the overall situation to make overall arrangements.

Ning Zhiyuan solemnly stated, please rest assured that the county party committee and Secretary Li will resolutely obey the arrangement! Li Mingxi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: Today's conversation is just to solicit opinions and provide reference for the municipal party committee's decision-making. Ning Zhiyuan kept sending Li Mingxi to the door, looking at the slowly disappearing back, he couldn't help but smile happily.

After getting off work on Friday, Ning Zhiyuan leisurely drove back to Qiuchuan alone, pushed open the door and saw a table of hot meals, and asked happily, Yunshi, what's wrong, today's holiday? Xue Yunshi walked out with an apron and said with a smile, yes, Minister Ning came back to celebrate the festival at my house! As soon as she changed her slippers, Ning Yuyan ran out of the study, jumped into her father's arms, and shouted with her neck hanging, old man, I miss you to death, do you miss me? He hugged his daughter and said lovingly, "Yes, you are my baby."

Xue Yunshi pouted and said, Oh, the flesh and skin are numb, you two are lovers in the last life, I am jealous. Yu Yan replied with a smile, then you go to your father. Xue Yunshi exaggerated her face and said, I don't dare, I've been afraid of my father since I was a child. Yu Yan giggled and said, I'll tell my grandfather tomorrow and see how he cleans you up!

Holding his daughter on the dining table, Ning Zhiyuan turned around and went into the bathroom to wash, came out to see the two of them waiting at the dining table without moving, and said with a smile, you eat, don't be so polite! Xue Yunshi glanced at him, this is the rule I teach Yu Yan, adults are not on the table, children are not allowed to move chopsticks first, you are good, you will break the rules as soon as you come! Ning Zhiyuan stuck out his tongue at his daughter and whispered, look, I've been scolded too! Yu Yan grinned and said, Rake the ears, rake the ears of happiness, hehe...... Laughter echoes happily around the house.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Ning Zhiyuan was awakened by the sound, opened his eyes in a daze, saw Xue Yunshi putting on makeup for his daughter, and asked, so early? Yu Yan said loudly, hehe, old man, it's like this every year. Oh, he answered, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

was washing his face, Xue Yunshi came in to scrub his face towel, pushed his cocked buttocks, and said softly, go over, big stupid elephant! He moved to the side and said with a smile, "Sore!" Xue Yunshi pinched his waist with her hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered, which one shouted that you didn't die last night, you deserve it! He smiled and watched as her face turned red.

After breakfast, the family headed for the school. Ning Zhiyuan asked while driving, girl, what kind of show is you performing today? Yu Yan hurriedly said to Xue Yunshi, don't tell the old man, keep it secret, hehe! Ning Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Yu Yan who was sitting in the passenger seat, pouted and said, what about the little lover? Yu Yan opened her eyes wide and said happily, old man, if you don't recognize me by then, you will be punished. He asked, how to punish it? Yu Yan said, fine! And he asked, how much? Yu Yan shouted loudly, at least a hundred! He happily replied, "Okay!"

Sitting in the school performance hall, all around were full of parents, and everyone greeted each other. Xue Yunshi greeted other people from time to time, Ning Zhiyuan didn't know anyone, so he could only nod with a smile from time to time as his wife introduced him.

The performance officially began, a man and a woman and two children came to the stage to host, Ning Zhiyuan was surprised to find that Yu Yan was serving as the host! Turned his head and smiled and said, haha, it's Yu Yandu. Xue Yunshi smiled and motioned for him to watch the performance seriously.

Today's children are versatile, which makes Ning Zhiyuan dumbfounded, the quality of this performance is beyond imagination, comparable to the Spring Festival Gala of the TV station!

In the last program, the male host reported that for six years, how many ups and downs, we are accompanied not only by the teachers of Dundun's teachings, but also by the parents who take care of them in every detail, at today's graduation ceremony, let us listen to a song "Father's Prose Poem"! On behalf of all the students, I would like to say to all the parents: thank you, we have grown up!

A girl wearing a veil came to the stage, accompanied by the prelude music, and narrated leisurely: My father works at the grassroots level and rarely accompanies me, but his love for me is deep and long, and he will never forget my pain, he took me hundreds of miles to eat a Häagen-Dazs...... Ning Zhiyuan's tears overflowed, dripping on the back of his hand unconsciously, and said to Yun Shi embarrassedly, I didn't expect that there were other children's fathers who were also like this! Xue Yunshi stared at the stage with both eyes, and reached out to hold his hand tightly.

The little girl sang affectionately, and her sad and tactful singing voice floated in every corner of the hall with the melodious melody. Xue Yunshi took out her mobile phone to take pictures from time to time, and Ning Zhiyuan pulled her and signaled not to block the parents behind to watch the performance.

This is my father

Texts in the diary

This is the legacy of his youth

Prose poems that remained

Years later I watched

Tears flowed endlessly

My father is already old like a shadow......

At the end of the song, Ning Zhiyuan was already so moved that he applauded as everyone applauded! Xue Yunshi even stood up and clapped her hands above her head!

After the end, Ning Zhiyuan stood in the parking lot, quietly waiting for Xue Yunshi to go backstage to pick up Yu Yan, the song was still echoing in his mind, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
