Zhou Changquan's expression was serious and heavy, and he said, "The two of us will go to Yiyang County." ”

Hou Weidong said first: "Okay, let's go immediately." He asked again, "Governor Zhou, is there something wrong?" So urgent. ”

Zhou Changquan stood up and said, "Just now I received a call from Li Yongguo's lover, Comrade Li Yongguo passed away this morning. He is my old leader and the leader of my career, and I want to see him. ”

Hou Weidong was taken aback and said, "Commissioner Li passed away?" I also saw him during the Spring Festival, he was in good health, and he drank more than three taels of liquor. ”

Zhou Changquan sighed and said: "He had a myocardial infarction, he didn't ease up in one breath, and left, he was in his early seventies this year, and he was still growing vegetables in the small yard before he died, I thought he could live to be more than eighty, but I didn't expect that this strong old man suddenly left this world." ”

Hou Weidong knew Li Yongguo many years ago, when he was Zhu Yan's secretary and followed Zhu Yan to visit Li Yongguo many times. The reason why Zhu Yan often went to Li Yongguo was because Li Yongguo was the old leader of Zhou Changquan, the secretary of the municipal party committee at that time, and maintained close contact with Zhou Changquan.

Later, Hou Weidong became Zhou Changquan's secretary, and he visited Li Yongguo more often, and every Spring Festival, Hou Weidong had to prepare a gift for Li Yongguo.

Hearing that Li Yongguo had passed away, Hou Weidong had the image of this stubborn old man in his mind: "The retired commissioner concentrates on growing vegetables in the yard, enjoys himself, and is very strict with his children, and has never raised his requirements to the organization on the issue of children. ”

Li Yongguo's culture is not high, the instinct of the peasants is deeply rooted in his heart, coupled with a high political consciousness, "picking chrysanthemums in the east", which was originally an intellectual interest, but became his life ideal in his later years.

Following Zhou Changquan downstairs, Hou Weidong's mind immediately turned, and he called Hong Ang, director of the Organization Department of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee, in the car, and said, "I heard that Li Yongguo has passed away." ”

Hong Ang was in Lingxi, and he had already heard about it, and said: "Li Yongguo is an old leader of Shazhou City, and according to the usual practice, I have sent the old cadre director to take care of the aftermath." ”

"Governor Zhou wants to go to the mourning hall of the old leader Li Yongguo."

"When are you going?"

"Got in the car and I was with me. You'd better go to Yiyang too, there are no municipal leaders present, and it seems that you don't pay attention to Li Yongguo's death. ”

Hearing that Zhou Changquan was going, Hong Ang could only put down the matter in his hand and said, "I'm still in Lingxi, set off immediately, and strive to meet Yiyang with you." ”

Although Hong Ang didn't say what he was doing in Lingxi, Hou Weidong also guessed three points and said, "Governor Zhou is here today, you can take the time to talk about your own affairs." ”

Hong Ang hesitated a little and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate to talk to Governor Zhou about personal issues at this time. ”

"Governor Zhou has a lot of things, and it is rare to have the opportunity to come to Shazhou. This is a good opportunity, and I will try to keep him in Shazhou and we can have dinner together. Speaking of this, Hou Weidong said: "Minister Hong, at the critical moment, don't be too gentle and frugal, you must say what you should say, if you miss this village and don't have this store, you have to wait for the next adjustment of the city hall cadres." I called you a few days ago, Governor Zhou thinks that your progress is slow, he actually admires you, he is the executive vice governor, and his words are still very effective. ”

Hong Ang used to be Zhou Changquan's secretary general, and the two had a good relationship, but after Huang Zidi fled, Zhou Changquan was in a low mood for a long time, constantly reflecting on his own strategy of observing and employing people. During this period, Hong Ang twice euphemistically mentioned his own affairs, but Zhou Changquan did not have a clear answer.

After a step of delay, he fell behind step by step, and in the blink of an eye, a few years had passed, and Hong Ang was still lingering in the post of deputy hall.

When Zhou Changquan was the secretary of the municipal party committee, Hong Ang was the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and Hou Weidong was the deputy director of the committee office, and Hong Ang's status was much higher than Hou Weidong. At this time, Hou Weidong had already served as the mayor of Maoyun, and Hong Ang was still the head of the organization.

Although Hong Ang has a good relationship with Hou Weidong, thinking about Hou Weidong's progress, Hong Ang is still a little indignant. In the past year or two, intentionally or unintentionally, the number of times he reported to Zhou Changquan gradually declined. This time, he has been in contact with Zhao Dong, deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, but Zhao Dong has been on a business trip to Shanghai and Beijing and has not returned.

Hou Weidong and Zhou Chang meet every day and have a very accurate grasp of Zhou Changquan's mentality.

After his position in Maoyun was finalized, Zhou Changquan once drank wine and talked about Hong Ang in a regretful tone. After learning Zhou Changquan's true attitude, Hou Weidong has always wanted to find an opportunity to help Hong Ang, today Li Yongguo passed away, Zhou Changquan wants to go to Yiyang to mourn, in this special time, it is an opportunity.

When Hong Ang heard this, his mood was quite excited, he hurriedly called his driver, and rushed towards Shazhou, he must rush to Li Yongguo's mourning hall before Zhou Changquan arrived in Yiyang.

The two cars that Hou Weidong and Zhou Changquan ride in are Audis, and they are usually fast. After Hou Weidong got into the car today, he instructed Master Xiao Geng, "We are not in a hurry today, you should press down the speed and don't drive too fast." ”

Master Xiao Geng's Audi car led the way in front, he deliberately pressed the speed, set off at more than ten minutes after nine o'clock in the morning, and two cars arrived in Yiyang County at twelve o'clock.

At this time, Hong Ang had already come to Yiyang, and he went to Li Yong's country and sent a wreath in his personal name. Then he turned around and came to the highway intersection to greet Zhou Changquan.

Zhou Changquan kept squinting in the car, and when he got off the highway, he opened his eyes, and through the car window, he saw Hong Ang waiting outside.

Zhou Changquan lowered the window, beckoned to Hong Ang, and said, "Hong Ang, you sit next to me." ”

Hong Ang knew Zhou Changquan's true attitude, and he had the bottom in his heart, and after getting in the car, he concisely talked about the situation in Li Yong's country.

Zhou Changquan nodded frequently, before the car arrived at the mourning hall, he didn't get out of the car immediately, and asked: "Hong Ang, this time the city hall is adjusted, you are the deputy hall for many years, and you are not too old, don't you have any ideas?" ”

Hong Ang said: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and if I don't want to move in my position, it's a lie." ”

"Your development has been too slow in the past few years, which is not conducive to your future growth. Are you forty-five or forty-six this year? ”

"I'm forty-five this year."

Zhou Changquan patted the back of Hong Ang's hand and said: "The water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, which is in line with the true face of things, you are now the head of the organization, and when the next batch of city hall leaders are adjusted, I can recommend you." Strive to have a good place, not necessarily to stay in Shazhou, but also to other places. ”

After Zhou Changquan arrived in the province, Hong Ang was depressed, and at this time he listened to Zhou Changquan's words and felt a little moved. In fact, the promotion is a matter of two people, on the one hand, someone wants to mention it, and on the other hand, he has to climb hard, Hong Ang used to complain a little about Zhou Changquan in his heart, and today Zhou Changquan said a simple sentence, which moved him not only to think about his own shortcomings.

Came to the door of Li Yongguo's house, I heard that Executive Vice Governor Zhou Changquan came in person, the widow of the Li family came to the door with her three sons to greet her, according to Yiyang's habits, filial piety is to kneel, although the widow of the Li family is weak, but has the simplicity of Li Yongguo, she did not completely follow the tradition, but took her three sons to Zhou Changquan and others to bow.

Then, the old lady personally put on a green veil for Zhou Changquan. After putting on the green veil for Zhou Changquan, she held Governor Zhou's hand and shed tears. Zhou Changquan held the old lady's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, mourn." He said to the sons behind the old lady, "Take care of the old man, don't get tired, and pay attention to your health." ”

According to the tradition of Lingxi, the old man who passed away asked Yin and Yang to choose a life to do things, and when he spent the night, he also invited the opera troupe to sing before he could go out for the funeral. The old lady is usually as clumsy as a peasant woman, but at this time she insisted on her own opinions, and said to the old director: "Lao Li has believed in Marxism-Leninism all his life and is a materialist. ”

Zhou Changquan and others were placed in front and sat down, and the old lady took her son to greet the other people who participated in the condolences.

Listening to the words of the old lady conveyed by the old cadre director, Zhou Changquan couldn't help but sigh: "The high style and bright festival of the older generation of revolutionaries are really worthy of our study. ”

He said to Hong Ang and Hou Weidong, who were following him: "Comrade Li Yongguo and his group of leaders do not have much education, and I remember that Commissioner Li studied in the literacy class of the army. The reason why they can win the support of the people is because of the self-cultivation of the communists and the strong party spirit. The current leading cadres are much more educated than theirs, and their conditions are better than theirs, but their party spirit is much weaker than that of their generation. ”

He asked Hung Ang again, "What did Yongguo's family ask for?" My idea is that if his family asks for something, I will try to meet it as much as possible. This may go against Elder Li's will, but when I was working before, I had more times to contradict him, so let me contradict him again. ”

Hong Ang came to the Li family in advance and asked the old director of the bureau, he had a certain understanding of the Li family's situation, and said: "The old lady didn't ask for anything, but his second son Li Shiqiu wanted to be transferred back from Maodong." ”

Zhou Changquan asked: "Li Erwa, I have known him for a long time, I remember that he worked in Maodong, what exactly is he doing now?" ”

Hong Ang said: "Comrade Li Shiqiu is the party secretary of Hongling Town, a town below Maodong City, and he is the party secretary with old qualifications. ”

Zhou Changquan thought for a while and said, "You call Comrade Li Shiqiu over, I want to ask him." ”
