"Minister Sun, Director Sun Zhihao of the Power Supply Bureau has come to look for you," a staff member knocked on the door of a certain office of the city government and came in to report.

Sun Minghui was sitting at his desk reviewing documents, and suddenly heard the news of his son coming, his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he nodded, and motioned to the staff member, "Take him in." ”

"Dad," Sun Zhihao came to the office, looking a little excited.

"Sit," Sun Minghui gestured to the sofa, and after the staff who brought Sun Zhihao in closed the door and went out, he raised his head and asked his son, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Zhihao saw Sun Minghui pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and knew that this was his reaction to some displeasure when his work was disturbed.

Sun Zhihao is Sun Minghui's youngest son, he was idle in the State Grid after graduating from college, and he used his father's resource advantages to do some capital operations.

He happened to be with Sun Minghui when the disaster happened, and because of good luck, both of them were taken to Chongming during the evacuation under the cover of the army.

"I saw Li Qiuzhen today," Sun Zhihao said, paying attention to Sun Minghui's face as he organized the next language in his head.

"Li Qiuzhen?" Sun Minghui didn't have much impression of this name, he touched his chin with his hand, and suddenly squinted his eyes and stared at Sun Zhihao, "Why are you in Hengsha today?" ”

"I'm ......," Sun Zhihao smiled wryly, "I'll send Chenhao to school." ”

"Hmph, Chenhao is sending it every day," Sun Minghui shook his head, and immediately knew the purpose of his son's coming to Hengsha Island, "Isn't it just that I want to find the teacher at school." ”

Sun Chenhao mentioned by Sun Zhihao is the child of his eldest brother Sun Zhigang, and the family lived Sun Minghui and their three grandchildren. After Sun Chenhao was brought to Chongming, he studied at Hengsha Primary School, and was picked up and dropped off by the Sun family's full-time driver every day.

"Dad, I really like her," Sun Zhihao saw that his father's tone was a little unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he forgot what he said to Sun Minghui just now.

"If you just want to play with her, I don't object, but you actually say that you really like her, then I have to ask someone to keep her away." Sun Minghui had a headache for his son's stubbornness on emotional issues, and he was also a little angry and depressed, "The daughter-in-law of our Sun family must be the right person, the sister-in-law that Zhigang found for you at the beginning, her father is on an equal footing with me in the city." You're telling me now that you like an elementary school teacher? Let me ask you, what can this teacher give you in the future? ”

Sun Minghui has actually picked a suitable candidate for his youngest son a long time ago, and his plan is to take the marriage route and join forces to consolidate the social status of the family.

In his early years, Sun Minghui was still a poor boy from the countryside, and because he was motivated to study and happened to be valued by grassroots cadres, he was recommended to go to a university in Songhu City. As one of the lucky people of the times, he entered the ivory tower of the top in China from a small ravine almost in one step, and the new environment and new heights gave him a new understanding of the world.

In college, Sun Minghui met his first love, Luo Yilin. The two met at a sorority dance between graduate schools, and he has always carefully kept the memories of that night deep in his heart.

Sun Minghui can still hum the song played at the dance that night in its entirety, and the girl in the crowd who walked towards him can't take his eyes off it.

Luo Yilin came to Sun Minghui's side and greeted him gracefully, "Great talent, why didn't you agree to the shouting just now?" ”

"Ah, the voice...... The song was too loud, I didn't hear it, "Sun Minghui didn't expect that this girl who was recognized as talented and beautiful in the department would suddenly come to talk to him, just now he heard Luo Yilin's voice calling him, but the inferiority complex in his heart caused by factors such as birth made Sun Minghui a little afraid to associate his future with this girl.

Usually Sun Minghui just silently stared at Luo Yilin's back, and never dared to think anything wrong about this girl, only when his score ranking and Luo Yilin appeared in the forefront at the same time, he could feel that he and she were in the same world.

Luo Yilin is registered in Songhu City, and Sun Minghui is just a poor boy from the mountainous area, and the gap in his background has left an obstacle in Sun Minghui's heart, so that he can't find any other way to shorten the distance between himself and Luo Yilin except for studying hard.

"Won't you ask me for a dance?" Luo Yilin plucked up the courage to ask the young man who was happy with him.

"I ...... It's an honor! Sun Minghui's face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck, his heart suddenly beat violently, and his head was full of happy voices.

Sun Minghui didn't expect Luo Yilin to take the initiative to invite him out to dance, and his heart was both excited and apprehensive. Excitedly, the goddess she admired in her heart seemed to have a good impression of her, and she was worried because he couldn't dance at all.

Sun Minghui almost all of his energy is devoted to studying, he is not good at singing and dancing, and he was also pulled over by his classmates to see the world at tonight's dance, and the classmates who called him over are dancing on the dance floor with their dance partners at the moment.

"Come on," Luo Yilin seemed to see Sun Minghui's concerns, she smiled and stretched out her hand to him generously.

The moment Sun Minghui held her hand, his brain had become blank. The soft wattles in the palm of her hand are as soft as jade, and Luo Yilin's skin is as smooth as clotted fat in the lights on the dance floor.

"Follow my footsteps, it's very simple," the beautiful girl slowly guided, Sun Minghui also learned the posture of the other people next to him and gently supported his right hand on Luo Yilin's waist, holding her right hand with his left hand, and slowly moving to the rhythm of her dancing.

After a short time, after spending a period of excitement and apprehension, Sun Minghui's emotions finally calmed down, and he began to look at Luo Yilin's eyebrows with courage, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a little love.

"It's been so long since we entered the campus, and we are about to leave the school and enter the society, do you have any plans for the future?" Luo Yilin suddenly asked Sun Minghui.

"I was assigned to work in Haiyan County," Sun Minghui thought of the distribution arrangements that the department leaders had explained when they talked in the past a few days ago, and his mood suddenly became excited, "No matter what position I am in, I will start from small things and contribute everything to the construction of the four modernizations of the motherland." ”

"Youth, and blood, everything about me belongs to the motherland." Sun Minghui's face was suddenly filled with the unique look of the enthusiastic young people belonging to this era, at this moment he was no longer the poor boy who was born in the ravine, but an aspiring young man who was determined to learn from the martyrs and work hard for the development of the country.

"It's so good," Luo Yilin looked at Sun Minghui, whose temperament was completely different from usual, and his eyes were full of tenderness. She thought to herself, "I didn't misread him. ”

"Minghui," Luo Yilin's body unconsciously moved closer to Sun Minghui in the melody of the music. "I want to help you realize your dreams, and I also hope to witness your efforts for the motherland."

"Huh?" Sun Minghui nodded, knowing that Luo Yilin still had something to say.

"I will also apply with the department to work in Haiyan County."

"What?" Luo Yilin's words surprised Sun Minghui, he didn't understand why this beautiful girl with a household registration in a provincial capital planned to apply to go to a small county in another place.

"You ......, will your parents agree?" Sun Minghui wanted to dissuade her, as a child from the countryside, he knew how difficult it was to go from a small place to a big city, and now Luo Yilin planned to leave Songhu City to go to a remote county.

"We are young people in the new era, and I want to make decisions about my own life." Luo Yilin said firmly, and when she said this, she said it in an unquestionable tone.

"Yilin, this is a choice related to the future and fate, you must not be emotional," Sun Minghui thought about her, but still dissuaded.

"Haiyan County is not a sea of swords and fires, you can go, why can't I go?" Luo Yilin pretended to be angry and said, "Could it be that I am just a pampered big city girl in your eyes, so you don't welcome me?" ”

"That's not what I meant, Yilin," Sun Minghui quickly explained, "I just don't want you to go to a small place to suffer." ”

The girl's words moved Sun Minghui's heart a little, he already understood Luo Yilin's heart for him, just out of love for this girl, Sun Minghui was unwilling to selfishly bury her future in the big city because he wanted to keep the girl by his side.

Sun Minghui then sighed and said, "I'm different from you, I come from a very poor mountain village, so I know how poor the poor are, and how bitter the hard places are. ”

"With you, I am not afraid of anything," Luo Yilin looked at Sun Minghui and said sincerely, "I believe that you will be able to make great achievements, and I also hope that I can witness that moment with my own eyes." ”

"Good!"

After graduation, Sun Minghui was assigned to Haiyan County, and Luo Yilin also went to that remote seaside county with him.

When Sun Minghui began to put his enthusiasm into his work, the local grassroots situation gave him a resounding slap in the face. His industriousness and enthusiasm are resisted and rejected by most people in the unit where people are floating around, because when he does more, others appear to be idle, and because he works hard, others appear to be lazy. Several children of cadres who were sent to the grassroots level for training have become fragrant buns in the eyes of the leaders, but he can only take the blame for others everywhere because he has no enthusiasm.

The unsatisfactory work led Sun Minghui to use alcohol to kill his sorrows, and when he was drunk, one of his fellow villagers instilled in him the experience of officialdom such as "standing in line".

"You don't have a foundation to do anything, and those of them can thrive with their parents' relationship with random gangsters. Brother, your talent, your looks, can you be willing to nest like this? ”

"Wang Xiaoyan, don't you think about it? She came to our sea salt gilding and was going back, the old man is a character in the city, this is a great opportunity for your carp to jump the dragon gate. ”
