Early in the morning of the second day of the new year, after breakfast at my aunt's house, the second uncle, the third uncle, the second aunt, and the third aunt sat in a black car.

More than 40 minutes to drive to Wang Yulintou Village, Guanxian County, get off in front of the third uncle's house, the second uncle explained to the car driver and said: "Xiao Zhang, don't alarm the ** cadres and village cadres in Guanxian County, during the Spring Festival vacation, let everyone rest well, this is our family matter, you know?" ”

"Got it, Secretary Wang."

The driver Xiao Zhang nodded and replied, admiring Secretary Wang very much, he must still be the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and what he thought of was not to alarm the ** cadres of the city and county, the old cadres who are like 38, and they are different.

Walk into the third uncle's farmhouse compound, there are two civil structure bungalows, the yard has three flower land, there are two jujube trees, exude a fragrance, the yard is very tidy, the muddy ground outside the yard, there are cows, sheep, pigs and other poultry manure, there are a few children are picking up in the basket, there are more than 500 households in Wang Yulintou Village, which belongs to the old village, and the environmental conditions are still poor.

The guests all entered the house, sat around the coffee table in the hall, the third uncle took out red dates, peanuts, melon seeds, etc. to entertain the guests, and made a pot of tea, he said with a smile: "We have nothing to eat in the countryside, they are all self-sufficient local products." ”

"It's all family, everything you eat is fragrant, don't be busy, third uncle, you can sit down too."

Wan Yunhai saw a photo hanging on the wall, a group photo of his grandfather, grandma, his father, mother and his child when he was three years old, also in the frame.

Suddenly, Wan Yunhai's heart was agitated, looking up at the old photos on the wall, and the third uncle reacted and said to him lovingly: "Hai'er, you saw a photo of you with grandpa, grandma, father, and mother." ”

"Well, I saw it, this photo is too precious, I don't seem to have seen this precious photo at home, can the third uncle give it to me?"

"Okay, here you go, keep it as a souvenir and keep it well."

The third uncle carefully took the photo from the frame, handed it to Wan Yunhai, and said to him: "You take a closer look at your grandfather, grandma, the photo is recorded in February 1962 Nanjiang, at that time, you were just three years old, you are so cute in the photo, you look like your father." ”

Wan Yunhai held this precious photo in his hand, and looked at everyone in the photo carefully, his grandfather looked kind and kind, with a square face, a melon skin hat on his head, and two trouser legs tied under his legs, a blue homespun cloth, a typical northern cropper, sitting in the front row; Grandma is auspicious, with a melon-seed-shaped face, a black hat clip on her head, and a small Haier sitting in the front row, a typical virtuous housekeeper woman in the north; Dad was wearing a Zhuang Qinglan woolen tunic with two pens hanging on his chest, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like an intellectual, very handsome; Mom is slightly chubby, short haired, with a happy smile on her face, a kind face, wearing a black black coat, and a happy family photo.

Stepfather Yin Zhanhong came over to look at the photo, and said to Wan Yunhai in surprise: "You look exactly the same as your father, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very handsome beautiful man, it's really rare." ”

"That is, when I first saw my grandfather, I knew that he was the son of my little sister Wang Xuemei, wearing a gray Kajibu youth suit, with a strong physique, medium build, and a standard beautiful man, like his father."

The arrival of the second uncle is very happy, and he is a good young man at a glance, not to mention working in a well-known township and distant enterprise, and the father-son relationship with Chairman Yin Zhanhong, is a good seedling, there must be many unusual stories, from his conversation, the future is bright, so he pays more attention to the words and deeds of this outside.

At 10:30 a.m., coming out of the third uncle's house, the third uncle took everyone and walked towards a vast crop field, the sun shines on the earth, coating the earth with a layer of gold, the wheat seedlings in the crop field are green and lush, full of vitality, the high poplar trees on the ridge road around the wheat field are tall and heroic, and they are caressed by the north wind of nature, and sometimes make a loud sound, like a musician playing the wonderful symphony of nature.

When he stopped in front of the two piles of soil in the wheat seedling field, the third uncle pointed to the soil slope and said affectionately: "This is the resting place of my father and my mother, and it is the free land of my family, for more than 20 years!" ”

In order to worship in front of the graves of grandpa and grandma, cousin Wang Zemin and cousin-in-law Zhang Jun, who work in the Nanji Agricultural Department, also rushed over, they are the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the second uncle.

The worship ceremony was presided over by the second uncle Wang Qinglun, his expression was deep and solemn, and he said in front of the grave of his father and mother: "Father, mother, today is 10:30 a.m. on the second day of the Lunar New Year in 192000. To be a useful person to the country, our sons and daughters have done it, we inherit the family style and family education, and never forget the sixteen-character family motto; Filial piety, education, courtesy, gratitude, career, service to the country, diligence and thrift, kindness, education of future generations, children and grandchildren have done it, your second grandmother can rest assured, however, today tell the second grandmother a sad news, my little sister Wang Xuemei died of illness in 1978, your second grandmother in heaven do not be sad, the son of the little sister Wang Xuemei has grown up, his name is Wan Yunhai, a talent, today standing in front of your second grandmother's grave, want to talk to the second grandmother, your second grandmother take a closer look and listen to it, is a very good young man, I finished speaking, Rest in peace Mom and Dad! ”

The second uncle lit three incense sticks, led his eldest son Wang Zemin and daughter-in-law Zhang Jun with both palms, bowed three times in front of his parents' graves, and inserted the three incense sticks in front of his parents' tombstones.

In order, the third uncle, aunt, sister-in-law and the whole family bowed three times in front of their parents' graves, and inserted three lit red incense sticks in front of their parents' tombstones.

Finally, it was Wan Yunhai's turn to stand in front of his grandfather and grandmother's grave, his expression was solemn, his eyes were full of tears, and he clasped his hands together and said: "My dear grandfather, grandma, I am Wang Xuemei's son Hai'er, now stand in front of your second grandmother's tombstone, take a good look at me, our family has experienced too many ups and downs, my mother shoulders the responsibility to feed me to grow up, my father Wan Youkuan died of illness on March 7, 1967, and my mother Wang Xuemei died of illness on January 21, 1978.

After Wan Yunhai finished speaking, he bowed three times to his grandfather and grandmother's graves, and inserted three red incense sticks that were lit, and the red incense was smoking green and dancing, and the firecrackers rang out in unison, and the smoke rose into the air, sending the thoughts of his relatives and wishing his deceased relatives a good day.

When the lunch time came, the relatives sat around the two coffee tables, there was no round dining table at home, the third uncle took the wine glass and said: "I salute the relatives with a glass of wine, first of all, welcome the arrival of my grandfather Hai'er and my father, and at the same time, on this special day, our relatives get together, which is of far-reaching significance, I wish you all a happy new year!" In good shape! Good luck! Cheers! ”

Yin Zhanhong came to Wang Yulintou Village, the hometown of his godson Hai'er's mother, he deeply felt that Secretary Wang was kind and approachable, and also felt the warmth and warmth of Secretary Wang's big family, the family style was very good, and he inherited the etiquette of the Chinese nation, kind and loving.

Second uncle Wang Qinglun smiled, raised his glass and said: "I first salute my Qingfeng brother, brother-in-law, you two have worked hard, and my two sisters, Xuehua and Xuelian, you have worked hard, helped me take care of our parents, and sent my filial piety to the end, not the dedication of Qingfeng's younger brother, Xuehua, and Xuelian's sister, then I have today."

Our parents have great righteousness in their minds, for the sake of the country and the people, sent their sons to the front line of resistance against Japan, joined the Communist Party of China organization, and became a glorious member of the Communist Party of China. Cheers! ”

Yin Zhanhong excitedly drank a toast and said to everyone: "Secretary Wang, Secretary Liu, elder brother, elder sister and juniors, today came to Wang Yulintou Village, I am very moved, very educated, you are a revolutionary family, a patriotic family, I feel the warmth of family affection, kindness, full of positive energy, simple family style, sixteen-character family motto; Filial piety, education, courtesy, gratitude, career, service to the country, diligence and thrift, kindness. It is worth learning from me, I fill a glass of wine, toast your family, and wish you a happy new year! Health and happiness! Cheers! ”

The family banquet ended in a peaceful atmosphere, and the aunt took out a copy of the New Year's goods from the Jipu car, distributed them to the relatives seated, and said to everyone with a smile: "These New Year's goods are specially brought by Hai'er, and they are a little bit of Hai'er's heart, so I am entrusted to distribute them, and my relatives are asked to collect them." ”

"Thank you, Hai'er, for bringing so many New Year's goods and giving benefits to your relatives."

The eldest aunt joked with her relatives humorously, shook Hai'er's hand affectionately and said: "Hai'er, you have to come to the house often, your uncle's house and aunt's house are all your home, don't spend so much money, save it for yourself, keep it for the family, you know." ”

"Auntie, no thanks, it doesn't cost much, this is a little bit of Hai'er's heart, take care of your body! My stepfather and I are about to go home. Hai'er took her aunt's hand and talked enthusiastically.

The villagers saw two cars parked at the door of Wang Qingfeng's house, and they knew the arrival of Wang Qingfeng's second brother's distinguished guest, the village secretary and the village chief walked in to pay New Year's greetings, and when they saw Qingfeng's second brother, the village secretary said with a smile: "Secretary Wang has given you a New Year's greeting, I wish you good health!" New Year's greetings to the old secretary of Qingfeng! New Year's greetings to everyone, too! Happy New Year to all! In good shape! ”

The village secretary is a woman, the daughter-in-law of the village, about forty years old, medium stature, short hair, bright eyes, she took the village chief and village cadres, to the former old secretary Wang Qingfeng New Year's greetings, the old secretary retired two years ago, is also a respected old revolutionary, joined the Communist Party of China in 1939, decades of party age, the villagers are very respectful of the old secretary to deal with things.

Wang Qinglun and Wang Qingfeng brothers got up busily, greeted each other with a smile, held the hand of the village secretary and said: "Hehe, comrade secretary, I also give you New Year's greetings, and also give New Year's greetings to the villagers, I wish you all a happy New Year!" Good luck! ”

The villagers all know that Wang Qingfeng's second brother, when he was a young man, left his hometown, followed the Communist Party to make a revolution, fought for the country and the people, and was the largest Communist Party official in the village.

The villagers took out the local products at home, eggs, red dates, local chickens, peanuts, etc. to the precious guests, Secretary Wang saw the villagers so enthusiastic, moved to the villagers and said: "Fellow villagers, your heart, I received, you send so many local products, our family can not finish eating, or leave it to their own food, the villagers are so enthusiastic, I sincerely thank, more happy than eating in the stomach, participate in the revolution for so many years, do not take a stitch from the masses, it is the iron discipline of our communists, please understand." ”

"My wife is right, we Communists, in the years of the revolutionary war, Chairman Mao set three major disciplines and eight points of attention for us revolutionaries, and we will not take a stitch from the masses.

I tell a true story to the villagers; During the Japanese War, the soldiers were in a panic, the people were not able to make a living, one year there was a drought and locust plague, there was no harvest in the field, my eldest son Wang Zemin was six years old and his four-year-old sister followed his grandfather to Xin County to find our anti-Japanese team, at that time Wang Qinglun served as the district political commissar, the three of them came here to ask for something to eat, we both knew very well in our hearts, grandpa brought his grandson and granddaughter to find us, there was no way, but we couldn't do it, we revolutionaries, but also the food provided by the people, sometimes hungry to work, The two of us still tearfully hearted, did not give their grandparents and grandchildren food, let the grandparents and grandchildren find their own way to solve the problem, the grandparents and grandchildren had to walk, dozens of miles of road, along the way to pick up watermelon peels to satisfy hunger, my daughter unfortunately contracted malaria and died on the road, how uncomfortable it is to be a parent. ”

The second aunt Liu Chunrong, also an old revolutionary, followed her lover to fight in the south and the north until the liberation of the whole of China, her own life experience, vividly gave the villagers a revolutionary traditional education lesson, do not forget the original intention, keep in mind the mission, the villagers understand, smile, go forward, everyone warmly greets each other, shake hands one by one and say goodbye.

In the evening, at 18:06, I returned home from Wang Yulintou Village and had dinner, Yin Zhanhong was very excited and called Deputy General Manager Zou's house: "Old man, Happy New Year!" Please come to my house, you know, did I go there in the first and second years of junior high school? Let's talk, brothers. ”

Yin Zhanhong made a pot of tea, and when she saw Deputy General Manager Zou coming in, she said with a smile: "Happy New Year, old man!" Please sit down, drink tea, I went to his mother's hometown with my godson, guess? Who did I meet? ”

Deputy General Manager Zou touched the top of his head, thought about it, and said with a smile: "See, our Secretary Wang Qinglun of the Daoqing Municipal Party Committee, Wan Yunhai's second uncle is really Secretary Wang of our Municipal Party Committee." ”

"You're right, I really can't imagine that my godson's social background is so majestic, and his second aunt, Secretary Liu Chunrong, is also the secretary of the superior department of our garment factory, which is really a rare fate, which is conducive to the development of our Yuanfang Co., Ltd."

Yin Zhanhong took a sip of tea, lit a cigarette, and said excitedly: "Your proposal a year ago is very good, I have such ideas and arrangements, after the New Year, report to the municipal party committee for approval, let Wan Yunhai take over the position of general manager of Yuanfang Joint Stock Company, in a few years, he did a good job, I will also retire, let Wan Yunhai take over the chairman's position, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Brothers, major matters on the enterprise, never hidden, heart to heart communication, brothers also served as the leader of the township government, worked together for more than ten years, from the local economy and the economic development of the enterprise, the brothers always think of a piece, it is really a rare work on the good partner, bosom friends are hard to find.

Deputy General Manager Zou smiled and said: "Yes, I fully cooperate with the recommendation, Wan Yunhai has made the performance of the table in our Yuanfang Joint Stock Company in the past few years, merging the city garment factory and establishing a joint-stock enterprise, and has made great contributions." ”

"That's it, Wan Yunhai is a good seedling, his vision is broad, the pattern is very large, let him take over, let go of his hands and feet, do a big job, we don't mix too much, firmly believe that give him ten years, Yuanfang Co., Ltd. will develop and grow, rapid changes will occur, and the old folks will live a happy life."

The two brothers were drinking tea and talking about work, and before they knew it, after four hours, Deputy General Manager Zou saw the wall clock on the wall, and it was past twenty-three o'clock, and he said to Yin Zhanhong: "Old man, I should go home, and you should rest early." ”

After taking seven days of Spring Festival vacation, a week later, Wan Yunhai served as the general manager of Yuanfang Co., Ltd. Red head document issued, he took office, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Yuanfang Co., Ltd. middle-level cadres attended the general manager's work report meeting, Yin Zhen, Wang Fan were invited to participate.

Deputy General Manager Zou presided over the debriefing meeting; "Dear colleagues, from the development needs of our Yuanfang Co., Ltd., the company's senior management has changed, and the company's senior management has discussed and decided to study and decide; Mr. Wan Yunhai served as the general manager of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., and now I invite General Manager Wan Yunhai to come to the stage to make a report, and everyone applauds. ”

With a burst of warm applause, Wan Yunhai walked up to the stage in good spirits and made a debriefing report: "Colleagues, good morning!"

As the general manager of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., I feel very sudden, the burden on my shoulders is very heavy, thank you very much to the distant fathers and villagers, who trust me so much and give me such a working platform, I can't do it if I don't pick this burden! The villagers trust me so much that they have to do their best to be the general manager of Yuanfang Co., Ltd.

To be honest, the heavy responsibility of the post must be conscientious, today, at the debriefing meeting, I made a military order to all the fathers and villagers of Yuanfang Co., Ltd. ”

When the cadres heard this sentence, they burst into warm applause, and the participating cadres trusted General Manager Wan Yunhai to make a difference, and everyone gathered to listen to General Manager Wan Yunhai's debriefing report.

Wan Yunhai gestured, the venue quieted down, he continued: "We want to develop Yuanfang Co., Ltd., to let the villagers live a happy life, we have a lot of work to do, I am just the asset manager of the shares, the employees of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., all have shares in this enterprise, you are the real owners of the enterprise." ”

The wonderful speech, sonorous and powerful, and a round of warm applause, everyone felt that the new general manager's debriefing speech report was really very weighty.

After the applause, Wan Yunhai said affectionately: "What is a happy life, not out of imagination, not out of words, but out of struggle, I am the asset manager of the joint-stock company, there is a like-minded team, I am confident, give me ten years, let everyone's share assets, increase dozens of times, hundreds of times, let the villagers live in a high-rise summer house, let us live in a beautiful garden, let the villagers pockets bulge, let the villagers improve their literacy, let us far away corporate culture deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, This requires the efforts of all employees in the distance, and the management of the enterprise depends on the attitude of all employees and owners, working hard, and having good suggestions for the enterprise, and can put forward reasonable proposals in writing, such as creating economic benefits, according to the ratio of thousandths, you can give share awards.

I don't advocate that in the enterprise, a small number of people get rich, and it is not interesting, if you say, in the distance of this land, there are a few mansions, the side is full of dangerous old houses, the ground is muddy poultry manure, this Haoyu homeowner is rich, what is the meaning, living in Haoyou is not at ease, this Haoyou is not worth anything at all, we Yuanfang Co., Ltd. is an enterprise of the Communist Party, is our Chinese socialist country enterprise, to let everyone get rich together, is our goal. ”

Speaking of this, there was applause one after another, and the cadres listened enthusiastically, and some people stretched out their thumbs and praised them, which was really a high-level speech.

Wan Yunhai paused, waited for the applause to stop, and spoke more passionately: "Now our country has entered a new era of reform and opening up, with economic construction as the center, firmly take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and untie the ropes tied to our hands and feet, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, catching a mouse is a good cat, I am not bragging, this is my military order, if I can't reach the goal, I will immediately get out of the way, thank you again for your trust in me, give me this development platform, my debriefing report is finished, thank you!" ”

Wan Yunhai smiled and bowed deeply to the cadres in the audience, in order to thank the distant fathers and villagers for their trust, to thank the senior management of the distant joint-stock company for giving him a platform to struggle, and to write a gorgeous prologue with his youth.

The audience applauded, the new general manager full of bloody and passionate speech, to the employees full of confidence, one by one applauded, in front of many cadres of the distant joint-stock company, he bravely set up a military order, which is also the oath of Wan Yunhai's life struggle.

Yin Zhen heard Brother Hai's sincere speech, his heart was full of respect, he was talented, blood and steel, courageous and knowledgeable, she looked at Wan Yunhai with abnormal eyes, today's participation in the debriefing report meeting is the meaning of Wan Yunhai's general manager, and it is also an exception to invite her, she has gained a lot, and she has seen Brother Hai's talent, and she has a strong love from her heart.

Deputy General Manager Zou was amazed by the content of Wan Yunhai's debriefing speech and the eloquence of the speech, and he presided over with a smile: "Next, I invite Chairman Yin Zhanhong to speak." ”

Chairman Yin Zhanhong smiled, for his recommendation Wan Yunhai to take over as the general manager of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., and was happy, convinced that Haier in the position of general manager, talent will be exerted to the extreme, he delivered an enthusiastic summary speech: "Comrades, I call the cadres who participated in the meeting, because we work in the Communist Party of China, there is a like-minded work team, Wan Yunhai's wonderful speech, clear thinking, so that we have a good understanding of the development of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., improve economic efficiency, Be confident.

In his speech, he used six lets, in front of the cadres of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., to say a loud oath and bravely make a military order, I was very moved, and it was rare to hear the debriefing report.

Yes, we have a lot of work to do, Yuanfang Co., Ltd. from top to bottom, strive to make a place, form our joint force, endless, I firmly believe that the goal of General Manager Wan Yunhai will be achieved, my words are finished, and the meeting will be dismissed. ”

Many cadres are the first time to hear such a high-level work report in the township enterprise of Yuanfang Co., Ltd., which is very shocking, and the cadres are hotly discussing the content of the work report, which is also the clarion call of Yuanfang Co., Ltd. to march and urge people to forge ahead.

After the meeting, Yin Guoqing felt very uncomfortable, the anonymous letter against Wan Yunhai last time failed to work, but instead prompted Wan Yunhai to be promoted to the senior position of the company's general manager, and the position of the director of the forward-looking planning department.

"Is there something wrong? Vice Minister Yoon. ”

"Hehe, Deputy General Manager Zou, there is something and I want to talk to the leader."

Yin Guoqing felt very uncomfortable, sat down in front of Deputy General Manager Zou, and smoked a cigarette for him.

"You don't know, I don't smoke, what's the matter, just say it."

Yin Guoqing forced a smile and said: "I can't figure it out, Wan Yunhai is a foreigner, working in the distant company, that is, for more than six years, and has been promoted to the general manager of the distant company, there is no other candidate in the distant limited liability company, our forward-looking planning department, the main position is still vacant, I am a little overwhelmed." ”

When Deputy General Manager Zou heard this, he felt weird, he frowned, looked at Yin Guoqing's expression, and saw his weak heart, it was ridiculous, thinking that the anonymous letter last time must have been written by this guy, and he couldn't wait to finally surface from the shadows.

He said to Yin Guoqing solemnly: "Why do you have this kind of idea, I can tell you that Wan Yunhai's promotion to the position of general manager is a collective discussion and decision of our company's senior management, do not have a small farmer consciousness, narrow mentality, and consider it from the perspective of the company's development." ”

Small farmer meaning, narrow mentality, isn't this Deputy General Manager Zou's evaluation of me? Yin Guoqing felt really uncomfortable, he was bored with himself, and it was not good to show his dissatisfaction in front of the leader, so he had to shut up and listen to the leader.

Deputy General Manager Zou knew very well that Vice Minister Yin came to him and said that there were two purposes, one was to black the sea of clouds in the back, and the other was to inquire about the candidate for the head of the forward-looking planning department.

So he said to Yin Guoqing: "The candidate for the head of the forward-looking planning department is still determined by General Manager Wan Yunhai, and recommended by him, and I can't tell you, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Well, no."

Yin Guoqing got up and walked out of the leader's office, and happened to meet Wan Yunhai in the aisle, and immediately showed a fake and unnatural smile on his face and said, "Mr. Wan, I have something to talk to you about." ”

"Okay, please come to my office."

General Manager Wan Yunhai agreed very politely, pushed open the door of the general manager's office, and filled Vice Minister Yin with a cup of tea: "Please sit down, talk slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Mr. Wan, just after listening to your debriefing report, I am very excited, everyone has responded greatly, full of confidence, the level of the speech is high, you have been promoted, the forward-looking planning department, is vacant minister, I am feeling pressure."

Yin Guoqing is a ghost, with a wishful thinking in his heart, he wants to be promoted from the post of deputy minister to the main post, and his salary is improved, so he deliberately tests the leader's ideas and attracts the attention of the leader.

As soon as he heard what Yin Guoqing said and knew his intentions, General Manager Wan thought about it and said to Yin Guoqing: "Vice Minister Yin, I won't reply to you now, the candidate for the position of the Minister of the Forward-looking Planning Department will wait for the office meeting of our company's leaders to discuss and decide, but there will be results as soon as possible." ”

In the heart of General Manager Wan Yunhai, there is already a suitable candidate, and it is inconvenient to say it, so he has to prevaricate Yin Guoqing like this, and has worked with him in the forward-looking planning department for more than six years.

"Alright, I'll go back to the office."

Yin Guoqing happened to come out of the general manager's office and was seen by Deputy General Manager Zou, this sight was to see Yin Guoqing's nature, the knife that stabbed Wan Yunhai in the back, and he was a purely speculative villain.

Deputy General Manager Zou is deeply touched that as a senior executive of the company, he must keep his eyes open and identify such a villain, once he confuses his eyes and reuses the arrangement, it will cause immeasurable losses to the company and will also hurt talents with both ability and political integrity.
