The train is rumbling, the snow is getting thicker, and the end of the year is approaching.

At the beginning of the lunar month, Lu Ze returned to his hometown with his family and took annual leave in advance.

A few days passed in a hurry, and the scenery outside the car window drove towards the rear, constantly changing, and finally stepping into familiar land.

"Attention tourists, the station ahead..."

"Please bring your personal belongings and prepare to get off the train."

The old couple of the Song family were ready to get out of the car early.

Father-in-law Song Jishan's physical condition is not good, because Xiaohui went to college and drank pesticides and fell into stomach problems, in Beijing for most of the year, Lu Ze and Song Yunping led Song Jishan to the hospital to recuperate for a period of time, which is getting better day by day.

"Xiaoping, get ready to get off."

"Remember to wrap your child's quilt well, it's windy outside."

After getting out of the platform, Song Yunping wrapped the small quilt in her arms again, and only let her daughter expose her white and tender little face.

At this time, Xiao Lu Xia, who was curled up in the quilt, opened her big black and white eyes, curiously looking at everything around her.

It was the first time in her life that she had taken a train.

Song Yunping smiled: "This little guy, it's really strange, he doesn't cry or make trouble all the way, it's very quiet." ”

Since it was not yet the most tense time of the Spring Festival, there were not many people on the train home, and the station entrance was not so crowded, Lu Ze raised his eyes and glanced around, and soon saw his uncle and aunt who came to pick up the station not far away.

Lu Ze waved his hand high and shouted, "Uncle, here!" ”

When Lu Shan heard this, he laughed and walked quickly.

"Ozawa Xiaoping, finally back!"

"This is Xiao Lu Xia, hahahaha, let my uncle hug me."

Since little Lu Xia was born this summer, she has not seen her uncle and aunt in her hometown, and after seeing the unfamiliar face today, the child did not cry, but kept arching in the wide and thick arms of Lu Shan.

Uncle and aunt did not have a queen.

The two of them have long regarded Lu Ze as their own child, and they can't treat Xiao Xia even better.

On the way home, the smiles on the faces of the two never broke at all, and they both said that the next generation is closer, and it is true that the more they look at the children, the more pleasing to the eye.

Two Hongqi cars drove into the gate of the agency compound.

"Ozawa, you will live here in the compound for the past few days."

"Over there in the marriage room of the two of you, your aunt has already asked people to go over and clean up in advance, and the family home is centrally heated, so it's very easy to clean up."

The Lu family is a two-story building in the agency compound, and there are two spare bedrooms upstairs, which is completely enough for a large family to live.

At noon, Song Yunhui also asked for leave and came back, and the whole family gathered together, so it was not lively, the central figure of the topic had to be the young Xiao Lu Xia, and the little girl was unanimously loved by these people in the family.

It is conceivable that Lu Xia will grow up in the infinite love of his family in the future.

During the banquet, Song Yunhui couldn't help but think of Liang Sishen, who was far away in the beautiful country, the family environment is enough to determine a person's character and even fate, Lu Xia has the care of his sister Song Yunping at home, and his brother-in-law escorts him outside, and he can also rely on the towering tree of the Lu family, and the starting point alone is a head taller than ordinary children.

"Brother-in-law."

"You took your annual leave in advance?"

Song Yunhui was puzzled that his sister's family would go home for the New Year so soon, and it was not until this time that he knew about Lu Ze's leave, he was originally a person who was focused on work, and he usually didn't ask for leave if there was nothing important.

Song Yunhui looked at his brother-in-law's casual personality, and only felt that although everyone was in the same chemical industry, it seemed as if they were in a different world.

Lu Ze said with a smile: "The annual review has ended, and several projects at hand have been implemented, there is nothing to do in the ministry, of course the leaders will grant leave, it is estimated that I have done too much work this year." ”

Song Yunhui was noncommittal.

If you are an ordinary person, how dare you take annual leave to go home for the New Year at this time?

Lu Shan, who is at home, generally doesn't like to talk about work, but the projects Lu Ze has handled this year are too exaggerated, and even he can't help but ask a few questions.

Lu Ze saw that his uncle and brother-in-law were interested, so he opened his mouth and spoke briefly.

During this period, Song Yunhui asked a lot of professional questions, and Lu Ze could only pick simple aspects.

After going out of the Jinzhou factory, Lu Ze's promotion speed is far beyond people's imagination, the foundation is naturally the chemical technology in his mind, with the continuous relaxation of policies, Lu Ze began to put a lot of things into practice, which in a sense accelerated the process of the chemical industry, too many chemical problems were solved by him, a milky guy.

Song Yunhui at the grassroots level of the Jinzhou factory has not really understood the butterfly effect that Lu Ze has long had, and the horror of it.

Minister Huang of Jingli once bluntly said: "Lu Ze is far more precious than giant pandas. ”

Song Yunhui left in a hurry after eating.

Lu Ze knew that his brother-in-law really couldn't resist the urging of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he left early and returned to Jinzhou.

The family banquet dispersed, leaving only Lu Ze and his uncle sitting on the sofa.

There were two cups of hot tea brewed on the coffee table in front of him, and the hot air wafted on the cups, and Xiao Xia was already asleep in the back room at this time.

Lu Zhi turned his head and whispered to Lu Ze, "Xiao Ze, what are your plans next?" ”

This nephew of his own is too unexpected.

Lu Shan's position in a high position can clearly know what Lu Ze has done, especially those projects that cannot be taken out for publicity, which is the fundamental reason why he is really valued by the above, and what he just talked about at the dinner table is just the tip of the iceberg.

Lu Ze picked up the teacup, blowing the hot air and floating tea leaves, and said with a smile: "What can I plan?" I just want to give Xiaoping and the child a more comfortable environment, and the family can live as easily as possible. ”

Lu Zhi glanced at Lu Ze deeply.

"The current plan is to continue to sit in the chemical industry."

"I don't want to jump out of the system, there are benefits from the outside, and there are benefits from the inside."

The general environment will get better immediately, and of course there are benefits to doing business.

After entering the 90s, it is the time when those entrepreneurs have risen in the future, and then people in the future pay more attention to the enjoyment of material life, and the tide of the sea is set off, and they want to make more money.

Within the system, it is more stable and has a relatively high social status.

Lu Ze has no plans to go to the sea, and it is impossible for his wife and children to follow him to start from scratch.

Lu Ze thought that he would just mess around like this...

Well, mix it up to the deputy department, and it's almost fine.

If he is a leader again, he will only be more tired in the future, and it will be inconvenient for him to touch the concept of fishing.

Lu Ze in this world originally planned to relax a little, if he didn't want to help speed up the development process of the chemical industry, Lu Ze would directly work in Jinzhou until he retired.

In the past few days, although Lu Ze has given himself a holiday in advance, he still makes a lot of calls home.

Lu Ze's own hands are free, there are no important things to deal with, there are still a lot of things to Lu Ze to help analyze on the side of the technical department, and he has suffered those colleagues and subordinates who are used to him being a tree behind him.

After staying in the compound for a few days, Lu Ze took his wife, children, and father-in-law and mother-in-law back to his home.

Uncle Lu Shan is in an important position, and it is the New Year's Festival, of course, he can't be idle.

There are many people who come to visit Lu Ze's house.

Most of them are Song Yunping's former colleagues in school, as well as people from the Jinzhou factory who came to the province on an errand and would choose to come to the door to be familiar.

"Don't think about it."

"It must have been passed out by Xun Jianxiang's big mouth."

Lu Ze couldn't help but laugh.

Da Xun's wedding is just around the corner, and Lu Ze has already prepared a gift money and wedding gifts for him in advance.

On the day of the wedding, Daxun's home was very lively.

The person who came to be the witness was Secretary Shui, Shui Touer has rarely participated in this kind of junior wedding over the years, but this time he chose to attend Xun Jianxiang's wedding, on the one hand, Da Xun's parents died, and his father was still sacrificed because of the Jinzhou factory, on the other hand, it was not said, and the factory guessed that it was for Lu Ze's face.

In today's Jinzhou factory, everyone knows that Lu Ze's position in the ministry is becoming more and more important.

Lu Ze and Xun Jianxiang have been roommates for several years, and they are as close as brothers, no one in the factory will treat Lu Ze as a junior anymore, and even when they drink and clink glasses at the wedding, they don't have the so-called leadership arrogance.

"Lu Ze, come, I have to have a few more drinks with you today."

"I Xun Jianxiang can have today, thanks to the help of your brother, without you, I can't walk with my daughter-in-law!"

The groom's official Xun Jianxiang's eyes were already red.

When Lu Ze came to Jinzhou Factory to report on the first day, Daxun once said that Lu Ze had something to report his name, but in the past few years, it was Lu Ze who helped him find Jianxiang.

Daxun is grateful for this kind of help that is not mixed with any benefits.

Lu Ze smiled and didn't say anything, just drank the wine in the cup.

After the wedding, Lu Ze and Secretary Shui walked on the cement road in the Jinzhou factory, and the water head looked like it had not changed much, but the originally straight back became a little bent, and the old state gradually appeared: "Lu Ze, you have been away from the Jinzhou factory for three years, right?" ”

"Yes, it's the third year."

"Time flies." Secretary Shui raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ze beside him, this young man he used to be optimistic about, unsurprisingly stepped to a higher level, and the speed of promotion is getting faster and faster, listening to those old friends in Beijing, Lu Ze is very likely to enter the soon-to-be-established chemical technology committee next year.

Although it was a flat adjustment and there was no change in the rank of the position, it was known that the new land was built for the cultivation of towering trees.

Lu Ze drank a lot of wine at the wedding, but his consciousness was still sober, and he would occasionally answer a few questions from the old secretary around him, Jinzhou is still Jinzhou, but it is no longer the Jinzhou factory that Lu Ze is familiar with.

"Ohun said he wanted to go out and break through after he got married."

"His temperament is already active, and he has been bound in the Jinzhou factory for so long, and he should go out to see a new world."

"Xiaohui really likes the work here, and I heard that the new workshop is doing a good job."

Lu Ze opened his mouth to talk about the two people he cared about the most in the Golden State Factory.

A smile appeared on Secretary Shui's face, and he turned to look at Lu Ze with deep eyes, this young man has only been out of Jinzhou for three years, but his wings have hardened like this, and he is no longer the young man who first entered the factory.

What I just said... Do you want him to take care of that Song Yunhui?

Unexpectedly, Lu Ze continued: "I think Xiaohui should also go out and break in. The Golden State is good, but... There are too many people here. ”

Lu Ze's words are no longer implicit, but explicit.

Secretary Shui's eyes were full of admiration, although Lu Ze had left Jinzhou, he saw the situation here very clearly.

"You are a person with a heart, and so is Song Yunhui."

Lu Ze smiled silently.

Before the New Year, Lu Ze no longer visited the door, but stayed at home with his wife and children, and occasionally went out to hang out, and by the way, he bought New Year's goods.

This year, Lu Ze officially entered the age of thirty and stood at the age of thirty.

Lu Ze had a lovely daughter this year, and at the same time stepped into the door of the department, for him, this seemed to be just the beginning.

......

After the annual leave, Lu Ze took his family back to Beijing, and Lu Ze entered the Chemical Technology Committee, which was envied by everyone in the ministry.

Times change, like a great river.

Everyone in this land is engulfed in it, passively following the tide of the times, during which some people are trapped in a corner, some people go down the river, and some people step on the tide and lead the waves.

Lu Ze belongs to the wave guide.

As his position got higher and higher, more people listened to what he said.

At the very beginning, the chemical projects founded by Lu Ze were opposed almost every time, and in people's eyes, Lu Ze, a young upstart, had a good heart, but his ideas were not necessarily correct.

Over time, however, the opposition became less and less.

Because of countless projects and data, it has been confirmed that Lu Ze is always the right person, and his existence has made the chemical industry drive on the right path, quickly narrowing the gap with those industrial powers.

This amazed the aging workers who had experienced countless ups and downs: "Lu Ze seems to have really been born for the chemical industry." ”

On the front page of overseas news reports, it is not uncommon to see news such as 'the development process of China Chemical Industry is incomprehensible'.

Lu Ze's name has been mentioned more than once, and countless overseas olive branches have been thrown at him, giving him crazy treatment conditions.

Lu Ze's gaze didn't look outside.

In his eyes, he only has his own country and his own home.

......

Fast forward to 1997.

Today is the first of July.

Lu Ze carried his things to the old dean's house.

It's still the same courtyard, but compared to back then, the environment here has become lively and noisy, and there are children playing in the alleys.

"Dean Qiao, I'm here."

"Huh? Be... It's Lu Ze. ”

Dean Qiao on the old rattan chair woke up from his nap, and at this time he suddenly thought of something, quickly got up and came to the back room, and opened the TV series that obviously had the flavor of the era, the black and white picture kept flashing, and finally a clear picture appeared.

Lu Ze sat down beside the old dean.

The TV was showing images that brought tears to the eyes of countless Chinese people.

In the picture, the red national flag and the bauhinia flag stand side by side.

"Hahaha, I almost missed it."

"Lu Ze, let's have a drink."
