After a snowfall in the capital in December, the beautiful scenery wrapped in silver was extremely pleasant, but the vehicles and pedestrians suffered from it, and Lu Zhengdong took a lot more time than usual to visit the old man Yun's residence.

Entering the study, Lu Zhengdong saw his grandfather, who he hadn't seen for a long time, his grandfather's hair was meticulous, and he looked in good spirits.

"In the past few years, I have seen and heard your watch. Kindness...... Focusing on the economy has also yielded fruitful results. ”

Old Man Yun carefully examined his grandson's face, and in a few years, his grandson had become more and more mature with a few traces of vicissitudes in his steady growth, and he couldn't help but nod slightly at his grandson.

Lu Zhengdong's face did not show any trace of pride, the uncle informed him that the old man was going to talk to him about marriage, but Lu Zhengdong knew that the old man would not ask about such a thing, or it was just incidental, the old man came to him, he must be talking about the right thing, and this serious thing is definitely not praise, but talking about problems.

Sure enough, the old man slowly opened his mouth:

"It's just that you have not considered other things, such as the dismantling and merger of many heavyweight economic ministries and commissions next year, of course, there is a consideration of straightening out the relationship between government and enterprises and reversing the losses of enterprises, especially your system reform commission is also among the layoffs, but what is the deep-seated reason? Have you ever thought about it? ”

Lu Zhengdong thought about it and had a faint understanding, but he didn't rush to answer, he knew that his grandfather would give him an answer.

"The state and the party should be vigilant against the right, but the main thing is to prevent the 'left'. Prevent 'left'. The main thing is to break through the dogmatism and rigid thinking of the 'left'. In particular, it is necessary to prevent the resurgence of the idea of 'taking class struggle as the key link', which is the mainstream, and when everyone sees the prevention of the left, many times they forget that there is still the right to save the left, and this actually has a deeper meaning, which shows that the left and the right are really objective in the party, and they are mainly wary of the left, which shows that their power is very great.

as a nation. A ruling party, as a leading collective, cannot but consider the way of balance, so as to maintain the stability of the whole country and the relative unity of the whole party......"

Lu Zhengdong nodded.

"You want to develop in the economic field, I understand that. Understanding the economic foundation is indeed becoming more and more important nowadays, and you do have the ability to be higher than others in the economy, which is your great advantage. But you must have some experience of the complexity of politics now, and the economy and politics have always been inseparable. But maybe not profound. Political decision-making can affect economic development, and economic development can also affect political decision-making in a period. It's not enough to focus on one aspect alone. It's just that if it's too simple, it will seem like a specialist, and politics is by no means covered by one or two slogans, nor can it be covered by political achievements alone. In political life, being able to engage in the economy is only one aspect, what is more needed is to be able to balance the left and right, mobilize all parties, and specialists are also the objects of mobilization in many cases. And ......"

Old Man Yun paused for a moment before continuing:

"And you seem to be young and in a high position now, looking free, unattached, but in fact it is hanging in the air, not touching the sky, not touching the ground, fluttering, like duckweed in the water, a wave hits, I don't know where to drift, rather than blocking duckweed, it is better to be a water weed, that is, when encountering the water flow, it is staggered, but as long as there is a root, the water flow passes, and it can stand up. Some things are like left and right, objectively existing, even the old people talk about no party outside the party, imperial thought; There is no faction in the party, there are all kinds of strangeness, this is not only in the country, but also in any country in the world, there is nothing to taboo, the key is to do it right, of course, the most important thing is to choose the right ......"

When Lu Zhengdong heard his grandfather's words, he felt a lot, and he was also very surprised by Lu Zhengdong, even if his grandfather pointed out before, it was to the point, and his grandfather was able to talk about these things so clearly and openly, which shows that his grandfather is really concerned about his affairs, and he is really worried about him, and at the same time, he also explained to him many things that were not easy to say .......

Old Man Yun said this because he had hidden worries in his heart, on the surface, the Yun family was in the limelight and was valued by all parties. But Old Man Yun understands better in his heart that it is still common sense in the world that trees are big and prosperous, and they must decline.

Although his body looks pretty good now, he knows that it is not as good as before, and people are rare in their nineties, and no matter how tenacious their vitality is, they can't withstand the laws of nature.

After all, the old Yun family has been floating on the water for too long, and the development momentum is also very strong, which is actually a problem, but behind the scenery also means that it will attract the eyes of all forces. What's more, the essence of the way of politics lies in the word checks and balances, and others are also afraid that the Yun family will not fall into the tail, and it is estimated that it will be restrained from all aspects.

When he is alive, others must still have some scruples, and once he goes, it is difficult to say, he did not tell anyone about his feelings, let alone the various challenges he is about to face, especially Lu Zhengdong and Yun Weixi, in fact, they also hope to test the wisdom and power of the two in their lifetime.

Although he can't tell his family, people must have near-term worries without long-term concerns, and he has to think about these things now.

Especially Jiang Hua, according to his ability and current situation, even if he is alive, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to impact the next political bureau members, not to mention the current situation, he will not survive for five years, and he will not be able to go up, that is, he will take a back seat in his current position, and it will be even more difficult for other sons and daughters to have a chance.

Then the Yun family only relies on the third generation, Wei Xi is still good, but it has been placed in the capital before, how can others look at the Yun family's thin noodles, naturally they have not encountered any setbacks, in fact, this has advantages and disadvantages, just like flowers in a greenhouse, it remains to be seen whether it can really withstand wind and frost.

But no matter what, Yun Weixi is about to cross the most important hurdle on his way to the deputy department, but the deputy department does not mean that he will really enter the high-end part of the political pyramid - the central sequence, if he wants to really enter the central sequence, he must become an alternate member of the central committee, which is a very important watershed. Only entered the central sequence. That can be said to have a certain status in politics. will march to the real political stage.

And this hurdle is not easy, entering the central sequence is a differential election, and the differential election means that someone will definitely lose the election, and there are not a few people who are planted among them, especially those who have grown up in ministries and commissions most of the time, and even some political stars whose backgrounds are stronger than the Yun family are all stopped here and folded into sand.

Wei Xi wants to enter this sequence, also in the next session. This is in conflict with Jiang Hua, and the difficulty is even greater, if Wei Xi really can't go up in the next session, the age advantage will be gone, and more importantly, this will form a concept in people's hearts, even if it can go up in the next session, it won't go far.

The advantages and disadvantages of Zhengdong are also obvious, and the most obvious advantage is that it can engage in the economy, which is the most prominent advantage in the era when economic construction is the center, and Zhengdong also has an invisible advantage. That is, from the most difficult grassroots level, step by step.

It has been some years since the four modernizations of cadres were proposed. Rejuvenation, knowledge, and specialization have made great progress, but many of the young cadres are cadres who have left their homes and entered the school and the organs, and most of them have education, knowledge, and a relatively high theoretical level, but they have no work experience at the grassroots level, and in particular, they lack the tempering of the arduous environment and complicated situations, they do not have enough understanding of the actual situation at the grassroots level, they do not have enough practical work experience, and their ability to solve practical problems and grasp complex forms is relatively poor. The revolutionization in the first place is mainly expressed in the firmness of ideology and stand, and the form of embodiment should also be further deepened, taking the initiative to work in difficult places, and cadres with grassroots work experience will be more valued, which should be a direction of employment in the future, only by applying theory to practice, and the knowledge accumulated in practice is more useful knowledge; It is only through the experience gained at the frontline at the grassroots level that they can have a deep understanding of the national conditions, and this is very necessary for the high-level leading cadres of a large country with very different conditions and differences.

Moreover, if you work hard step by step from the grassroots level from a difficult place, it is easier to get the recognition of those elites of ordinary civil affairs, and you have more advantages in entering the central sequence.

But Zhengdong's disadvantages are also obvious, anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, he is also a child of the Yun family, but with Wei Xi in front of the family, plus Jiang Hua is here, Wei Xi is obviously much more cared for, and the more you go to the top, the more scarce the resources are, and if you take care of Wei Xi, I am afraid it will not be Zhengdong's turn.

And although Zhengdong has indeed been very strong in recent years, it will soon usher in a bottleneck, when will he be able to go to the deputy department, and in what way he will be able to go to the deputy department, this qiē is unknown, if it is delayed here for too long, it will also lose the advantage of age, especially as soon as he goes, Zhengdong's situation will be worrying......

Zhengdong is not close to him among his grandchildren, mainly because he has too little time to live together, and Zhengdong is an official career, the more strict he is with Zhengdong, Zhengdong just wants to get close to him and has not many opportunities, and the more he is not close, the more he feels that he owes his eldest daughter, especially when he is old, especially when he feels that time is short, many things are seen more lightly, whether it is Weixi or Zhengdong, the two grandchildren are very good, which is really better or worse, who will go further, maybe in the next few years, the clues will be seen, It also depends on their respective creations.

But the problem with Zhengdong is that Weixi occupies most of the family's resources due to his natural advantages This reality cannot be changed, Zhengdong has obviously realized this for a long time and has been working hard in this regard, but in his opinion, Zhengdong has not done enough in this regard, or he is still observing because of his concerns, in short, he has not clearly moved closer to that side yet.

Zhengdong suffers a lot in this regard, bearing the name of the Yun family, but it is rare to find the reality of the Yun family, since Zhengdong has the talent in this area, and wants to go further in this area, then he thinks about how to give Zhengdong some real help on the road that Zhengdong wants to break out, for example, it turns out that several old leaders of Lu Zhengdong have the opportunity to move, or strive to move, and also pave more roads for Zhengdong, hoping that Zhengdong can also go further on this road, so he feels that it is necessary to remind Zhengdong.

Originally, he was worried that his two grandchildren were very good, and he was afraid that his brothers would look at the wall, and he was also very hesitant about dealing with Zhengdong, but Zhengdong's expression made him feel too worried, and he was getting old, especially when he felt that time was running out, and many things were seen more lightly, whether it was Weixi or Zhengdong. Both grandchildren are excellent. Which is really better or worse. Who will go further depends more on their respective creations......

Old Man Yun knew that Lu Zhengdong needed to digest his words well, so he was silent for a while before he said:

"Zhengdong, you are not too young, even if you respond to the country's call for late marriage and late childbearing, it is enough, your mother also wants to hold her grandson, what are your plans for you and the Tong family?"

Lu Zhengdong glanced at his grandfather. Seeing that he showed a rare warm side, he didn't say anything about the need for a family to be more mature and able to take on heavy responsibilities in such a position, and said with a slight smile:

"We have been planning for a long time, mainly because my work transfer has been delayed, and Xueyu's idea and I are that the wedding should not be extravagant and wasteful, and the wedding will be thrifty, you see......"

"Well, your mother also called me to discuss this matter, I think it's the Spring Festival, everyone is not busy during the Spring Festival. Your mother thinks so too. You say frugality for weddings, and that's good. You are already attracting attention from all parties in the capital now, and the more low-key you are in such a matter, the better, and the Tong family also means this......"

Lu Zhengdong nodded, and the old man spoke in person, in fact, the specifications of this marriage are high enough, and this matter has been decided.

Coming out of the old man's residence, Lu Zhengdong's mood was a little complicated, he knew that this day would always come, but it was always a little difficult to face, for him this was somewhat of a political marriage, and for Xue Yu, maybe it was not the case, and he had other women outside, which was a little unfair to Xue Yu, but Xue Yu became his wife after all, and for his other women, it may be even more unfair......

But no matter what, he has to face it, he thinks about going back to Xihe a year ago, first, to pick up his mother, second, to visit the New Year in advance, and third, to meet his women......

Of course, before this, he still has an important thing to do, whether it is out of courtesy or respect, he still has to go to Shangxue Yu's house......

――――――――――――――――――――――

Xue Yu's family invited a lot of guests today, the old man Tong is an older generation of revolutionaries, an iron-blooded general cast by many years of military career, the depth of feelings for the army, outsiders are difficult to understand, always take the country's army construction as their own responsibility, so the vast majority of the family have been handed over to the army, although most of them are in civilian clothes, but a look at the body and demeanor is from the army.

After all, Lu Zhengdong has seen big scenes and experienced strong winds and waves, and Xue Yu, who has always been fierce in front of him before, sees him in her own territory today, and under the gaze of everyone, she is very embarrassed to walk with him.

Lu Zhengdong was not clear and clear, it turned out to be the order of the old man of the Tong family, asking the family to put down the task in their hands and run back, which frightened everyone outside, and thought that the old man was going to return to his hometown and die, so he hurriedly ran back to listen to the old man's last words, and after a few phone calls, he realized that it was not the case at all: the old man is fine, why is he so urgent, so the ward is so good!

However, after returning to the capital, I didn't know that I wanted to see Xue Yu's future uncle, so I arrived so neatly today, and these people only heard of his name, but they didn't see him, and they were very curious about this ridiculously young hall official. In particular, Xue Yu's aunt is the same as Xue Yu's mother, she is also a political and ideological worker in the army, worthy of being a soldier, her mouth and machine gun have to fight, and she uses Lu Zhengdong as an example to carry out ideological education for several children of the Tong family, and the amazing lethality makes several other young people look at each other, so that Lu Zhengdong, who has always been calm, is also sitting on pins and needles, but he can't help but be modest while appeasing the future eldest brother and brother-in-law. - Otherwise, these guys would have been besieged and "retaliated" by these people at the wine table because he was given a political lesson.

After taking him to see the seven aunts and eight aunts, when he returned to a group of peers, Xue Yu naturally became a lot more talented, and Lu Zhengdong was also relieved.

Naturally, there are many people from the army among their peers, and Lu Zhengdong is still quite interested in military affairs, so he asks some things about the army that he is interested in, so there is no shortage of topics.

But Xue Yu didn't know what to say to her little cousin, and her little cousin looked at him, then at Xue Yu, and then laughed, leaving him confused.

"Cousin, you are really eccentric, your cousin-in-law can drink when he is out socializing, why can't we persuade him to drink? Brother Li, you said yes, right? ”

"Oh, it's really a girl outward, this hasn't passed the door yet, and her arm is turned out......"

When Lu Zhengdong heard this, he knew what was going on, the people in the military system drank very boldly, and Xue Yu must have known that her aunt was just like that, these people must have to toast, for fear that he would not be able to bear it, and wanted to greet his brothers and sisters, and wanted them to show mercy to their subordinates.

It's just that her little cousin made such a fuss, but it was self-defeating, in fact, her parents would definitely not let him, the future new aunt, get drunk on such an occasion, and naturally take care of these people before the table, the elders come forward, and the younger ones are not good to talk about, but now in this way, even if he is not drunk, he must drink a lot.

However, Xue Yu can care about him like this, and while his heart is warm, he also has the most difficult feeling of being favored by a beauty...... (To be continued.) )
