Zhou Siguo's second brother took his mother's phone and whispered to Zhou Siguo: "Big brother, our mother is not leaving, she is listening to our call." Zhou Siguo understood his mother's mood at this time, and said to his second brother: "I don't have anything to do, I'm fine here, but I found that my mother is thinner than before." In addition to my business, let my mother worry about it, is my mother's health not good? ”

Zhou Siguo's second brother told Zhou Siguo that since he heard that Zhou Siguo was imprisoned in an accident, his mother couldn't sleep every day, and he couldn't eat well. Zhou Siguo's second brother also told Zhou Siguo that he also found that his mother had lost weight, so he took his mother to the hospital to check her body, and the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her mother's body, and the main reason may be that she is still worried about you.

Zhou Siguo sighed, knowing that his mother was still listening to his call with his second brother, and his mother's body was fine, so he was relieved. Zhou Siguo said to the second brother: "I'm fine, you can rest assured." It's not early, you take care of your mother and go to rest. ”

"Well, you take care of yourself too, I found out that you have lost weight too." Zhou Siguo's second brother said with concern.

"I'm fine, it's just that I've been a little busy lately. It's important that you take care of our mother. After a while, if I can get out of the way, your sister-in-law and I will go back to our hometown to see our old lady and eliminate the misunderstanding of some people in my hometown. After Zhou Siguo finished speaking, he gently buttoned the phone.

Looking at the phone in front of him, Zhou Siguo fell into deep thought, and the scene of the phone call with his mother just now appeared in front of his eyes from time to time. Zhou Siguo thought: It's really as the common people say, the tongue has no bones to chew people to death, more spittle stars can drown people, and rumors are like an invisible sword that can kill people. Zhou Siguo understands his mother's feelings, in the eyes of his mother, he has been a good child since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was the first college student in the village to come out, and later entered politics and became the leader of the ruling party, which made his mother even more proud. And now he has become the person who worries his mother the most. Cough! What's wrong with this man now? Why is it so difficult to do something for the people?

Zhou Siwei fell into reflection: Is his work in a hurry, and there are still places that are not in place? However, I thought: How is it possible, the development of Liangzhuang Coal Mine, the previous sub-teams have discussed that they have only improved it, or that they have promoted it more vigorously. Thinking of this, Zhou Siguo suddenly had a feeling that the current situation was caused by the bottleneck that the reform had encountered a bottleneck. In the final analysis, it is the vested interests of some people who have been touched. It's not their fault that they are, it's that someone is trying their best not to lose their vested interests. Not only yourself, but others may also face the same situation. Unless you retreat yourself.

Zhou Siguo was very annoyed and wanted to find someone to talk to him, but after all, he was the secretary of the municipal party committee of Mashan City, who to talk to and who was willing to talk to him. Secretary Zhou drank a cup of tea, but his mind was still very messy, so he put down the documents in his hand and dialed the phone at home. Zhou Siguo said to his wife: "What are you busy with?" The wife did not answer Zhou Siguo directly, but asked Zhou Siguo, finished talking to his mother? Zhou Siguo said "um". Zhou Siguo's lover asked Zhou Siguo again: "Is there something wrong?" ”

In the eyes of Zhou Siguo's lover, home seems to have become a long-term rented hotel for Zhou Siguo, just a place to eat and rest, and he usually calls home only before meals, and the content is almost the same. That is, tell your wife that she will not go home for dinner if she has a party. There are few other things to call home, so when he received a call from Zhou Siguo tonight, Zhou Siguo's lover was a little surprised. For example, in normal times, Zhou Siguo's lover rarely asks about Zhou Siguo's situation, and once Zhou Siguo's lover asks about his own affairs, Zhou Siguo often shows great impatience, and often responds with "Tell you something, you will listen to it, don't ask so many things" to answer. After a long time, the husband and wife have a tacit understanding, what Zhou Siguo said, his lover just listened and never asked more, especially at work. However, tonight seemed to be a little abnormal, Zhou Siguo was not angry, but said in a low tone that was almost pleading: "I'm a little tired today, I want you to accompany me for a walk." Zhou Siguo's lover understood Zhou Siguo's mood at this time, and when he heard that Zhou Siguo wanted to let him accompany him for a walk, he hurriedly replied, "Okay." I'm going to change my clothes, and I'll be at the door of the municipal party committee office in a while. ”

After making the phone call with his wife, Zhou Siguo gently buttoned the phone. Looking at the phone in front of him, Zhou Siguo fell into deep thought.

Zhou Siguo's wife was the deputy general manager of a commercial bank in the provincial capital. Since Zhou Siguo was transferred to the secretary of the Mashan Municipal Party Committee, in order to take care of Zhou Siguo's life and reduce right and wrong, he resolutely gave up his prosperous career, retired early and came to Mashan, and became a full-time wife.

Suffering from diabetes for a long time, Zhou Siguo was hospitalized last time, and his body has lost a lot of weight, and various rumors have plagued Zhou Siguo recently, he rarely speaks at home, and he is even more taciturn, and his face is even more haggard, his wife can only silently put her concern in her heart, and endure the torment that does not belong to them with Zhou Siguo.

Zhou Siguo went to the office to work overtime to deal with official business after eating, and only Zhou Siguo's lover was left at home, not only felt very lonely, but also full of concern for Zhou Siguo, and his mind was full of Zhou Siguo's silent figure, often boiling water to wash clothes, forgetting to pour boiling water, and sometimes after pouring water, he was busy with other housework, forgetting the clothes washed in the washing machine. Housework that doesn't take long hours, sometimes it's a busy night, and you even forget to clean up the table. Zhou Siguo's lover often has a sense of reluctance.

Zhou Siguo seemed to be in a good mood today, and went to the office early after dinner. Zhou Siguo's lover's mood was also much soothed, and the housework was sorted out very quickly. Perhaps influenced by Zhou Siguo's ears and eyes, Zhou Siguo's lover, who was only interested in financial news before, has also become a must-see program for daily current political news. After tidying up the housework and making Zhou Siguo's favorite tea, Zhou Siguo's lover sat on the sofa and watched the news. As soon as I turned on the TV, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Zhou Siguo's lover rarely goes out except to buy vegetables on the street, because he is retired, he has few friends in Mashan, and his friends in the provincial capital rarely contact, so he rarely uses his mobile phone anymore, and sometimes he forgets to turn on his mobile phone. Zhou Siguo's lover saw that it was the number of Zhou Siguo's hometown, so he hurriedly picked up the phone. Sure enough, Zhou Siguo's second brother's eager voice came from the phone: "Sister-in-law, I'm the third, what about my eldest brother?" ”

Zhou Siguo's lover didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" Your eldest brother went to the office after eating. ”

Zhou Siguo's second brother seemed to be a little disbelieving, so he asked rhetorically: "What, my eldest brother went to the office?" ”

"yes, I went to the office to work overtime after eating. What the hell is going on? Looking at the phone in front of him, Zhou Siguo's lover's eyes were full of puzzlement.

After listening to his sister-in-law's words, Zhou Siguo's second brother's mood seemed to be much calmer, and said: "Rumors are spreading everywhere in my hometown now, saying that my brother had an accident and was imprisoned. Originally, we didn't believe it, so we rarely talked about it at home, worried that my mother would know, and my mother was worried about my eldest brother, and I was anxious, and if there was any accident, I couldn't afford it, so I tried not to let my mother know. I rarely even mention you and my eldest brother in front of my mother, for fear of leaking my mouth. Ahem......"

Zhou Siguo's second brother sighed as he spoke, and Zhou Siguo's lover didn't know what was going on, so he said anxiously: "Third brother, tell me quickly, what's wrong, is our mother okay?" Zhou Siguo's second brother continued: "Cough, who knows, two days ago, a distant relative who had not left for many years was idle and came to see our mother, and our mother was also very happy, so she chatted with that relative a few more words." The relative told our mother that there was nothing wrong, just to come to see my mother's body, and I was relieved to see that my mother was fine, and my mother smiled and said, what is wrong with me, I have been very good without illness or disaster. The relative told his mother that he had heard that his eldest brother had committed a crime and was arrested in prison, and his mother did not come up in one breath, fainted, and was rescued for several days, and had just returned home from the hospital this morning. As soon as I got home, my mother asked about the eldest brother, and I didn't dare to ask you, so I called the second brother. The second brother said that the eldest brother was fine, it was fine, and told his mother that he didn't have to hang up. But my mother just didn't feel at ease, so I had to call my eldest brother, and I had to call my eldest brother's office, and my mother said that she would only be relieved if she heard that her eldest brother was still working in the office. I had no choice but to call home first, tell my eldest brother, and let my eldest brother be prepared. Zhou Siguo's lover suddenly understood what the second brother meant, and said, "It's just right, your brother is working overtime in the office now, you can call your brother directly." ”

Not long after, the phone on the coffee table rang again, and Zhou Siguo's lover was a little puzzled when he saw that the call still showed the phone number of Zhou Siguo's hometown.

As soon as Zhou Siguo's lover picked up the phone, the second brother's eager voice came: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother's phone can't get through, you tell my brother, our mother is waiting to talk to my eldest brother." ”

Zhou Siguo's lover is very clear about the relationship between his mother-in-law and his lover, and he understands the feelings of a mother when she hears that her son is in prison. At the same time, Zhou Siguo's lover also understands the mood of the second brother, Zhou Siguo is very strict with his family, one of which stipulates that people in his hometown can't do anything under his banner, let alone call him casually, there is a lot of age difference, plus Zhou Siguo's control is stricter, Zhou Siguo's second brother has an innate sense of awe for Zhou Siguo, seeing Zhou Siguo, Zhou Siguo's second brother sometimes doesn't dare to look up at Zhou Siguo, what is going on in his hometown, Zhou Siguo's second brother always has to find Zhou Siguo's lover first. Hearing the second brother's eager voice, Zhou Siguo's lover was like a knife, and he hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't worry, I'll call your brother." ”

Zhou Siguo's lover didn't understand the reason why his second brother didn't call Zhou Siguo's office, and was worried that Zhou Siguo was really not in the office because of something temporary, so he tried to dial Zhou Siguo's phone. The phone was still transferred by the operator, and the operator saw that it was the phone number of Zhou Siguo's dormitory, and quickly connected the phone number of Zhou Siguo's office.

After Zhou Siguo's lover told Zhou Siguo about the second brother's phone call with him, he dialed the second brother's phone again.

Looking at the phone in front of him, thinking about what happened recently, Zhou Siguo's lover was extremely uneasy.
