Cheng Yiping hung up the phone angrily. Zhang Ruolan looked at Qian Hongyu. Qian Hongyu hurriedly filled Cheng Yiping's glass. Zhang Ruolan picked up the wine glass and said, "Secretary Cheng, thank you!" Cheng Yiping touched her in the air.
Taking a sip, Zhang Ruolan was stunned for a moment and said with a sweet smile: "Secretary Cheng is really pressing every step of the way!" Cheng Yiping smiled lightly and did not reply.
Zhang Ruolan turned her head and said: "Mr. Qian, I will leave the affairs of Yunshan Honghua Agricultural Company to you. When you finish the agricultural company, you can return to the provincial capital!" Qian Hongyu was stunned, and then
Great joy. It seems that he was transferred from the provincial capital to Yunshan, but in fact he was remembered by the president. As long as he works hard and satisfies the young secretary in front of him, he can say a few nice words in front of the president, and there will be opportunities for advancement in the future.
There are a lot of them.
After thinking about this, Qian Hongyu boldly poured himself a glass of wine. He picked up the glass and said respectfully to Cheng Yiping: "Secretary Cheng, this glass of wine is just an apology to you. I know that you, sir, don't have the same experience as me."
.But you can rest assured that Yunshan Honghua Agricultural Company will definitely adhere to the concept of 'development for the people' that the president often teaches us, and do more things that are beneficial to ordinary people. Please supervise me! I drank this glass of wine, you can do as you like
!” He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Cheng Yiping picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, took a sip and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait and see. As long as it is beneficial to the ordinary people of Yunshan, the county committee and county government will support it unconditionally!" Qian Hongyu said: "Thank you, Secretary Cheng.
!" Turning to look at Zhang Ruolan, Zhang Ruolan nodded slightly, Qian Hongyu said: "Secretary Cheng, Mr. Zhang, I have to leave beforehand, please take your time!" He smiled apologetically and exited the private room.
Seeing Qian Hongyu exiting, Zhang Ruolan picked up a mouthful of food with the public chopsticks and put it in a bowl and said: "Secretary Cheng, let's talk while eating." Cheng Yiping nodded with a smile and picked up a mouthful of food. Zhang Ruolan seemed to pick up the spoon casually.
He asked: "Where is Secretary Cheng's hometown?" Cheng Yiping lowered his head to eat and said vaguely: "Yunhua." Zhang Ruolan said: "Are your parents still alive?" Cheng Yiping put down his chopsticks and looked at her with surprise in his eyes.
.
Zhang Ruolan said with a smile: "Ask me casually, Secretary Cheng doesn't have to answer." Cheng Yiping said solemnly: "My mother is still alive, but my father passed away many years ago." Zhang Ruolan said: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to mention..." Cheng Yiping said
Waving his hands and saying: "It's okay, my father passed away a long time ago, and he is no longer in my memory!" Zhang Ruolan nodded, and Cheng Yiping smiled bitterly and said: "If it weren't for my father's photo hanging at home, I wouldn't have done it at all.
You know what your father is like."
Zhang Ruolan said: "I can understand!" Cheng Yiping lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair and sighed softly: "My mother raised me alone, and she has suffered so much these years!" Zhang Ruolan said: "Auntie is
A respectable mother, now that the environment has improved, she can enjoy her old age in peace!" Cheng Yiping smiled bitterly and said: "Enjoy your old age in peace? My mother is in her hometown. At the beginning of the year, she was brought to the county to live for two days.
She went back. She would rather be an ordinary teacher in the village than come to the county with me."
Zhang Ruolan said with a smile: "Auntie wants to train a few more county party committee secretaries for the country!" Cheng Yiping smiled. After the two of them finished eating, the service lady came in and cleared the table, made tea for them, and then left. Zhang Ruolan put the teacup in
He put it on the cover and said with a smile: "Secretary Cheng, I have something to ask of you?" Cheng Yiping said: "Mr. Zhang, please tell me, as long as it does not violate the principles and is within my capabilities, I will be happy to help!"
Zhang Ruolan smiled and said: "Secretary Cheng, our current relationship can be considered as friends!" Cheng Yiping nodded and said: "Of course!" He thought to himself: "This girl has been beating around the bush, now the topic is coming?" Zhang Ruolan said with a smile: "Since
We are friends. Why does Secretary Cheng call me Mr. Zhang or Miss Zhang? Is that what friends call me?" Cheng Yiping smiled and said, "From the time we met until now, it seems that you have been calling me Secretary Cheng."
Zhang Ruolan picked up the tea cup and smiled when he heard this: "It seems that I made a mistake first. My friends all call me Ruolan." Cheng Yiping was stunned for a moment, and it was definitely inappropriate to call her Ruolan. He smiled and said: "My name is Ruolan.
You Xiaolan!" Zhang Ruolan said: "Shall I call you Yiping?" Cheng Yiping nodded. Zhang Ruolan put down the tea cup, took out a photo from his bag and said: "Cheng Shu..." He was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Yiping
,Have you seen the person in this photo?”
Cheng Yiping took the photo. It was a black and white photo from the 1960s and 1970s. The girl in the photo had a beautiful face, two whips, wearing a military uniform, a red five-star hat on her head, and holding a leader in her hand.
The background of the quotation is Tiananmen Square, and the youthful atmosphere is vivid on the page. When Cheng Yiping saw the photo for the first time, two words "mother" flashed in his mind. He bet that if time goes back 30 years, the mother will definitely be the same as the one in the photo.
The people are exactly the same.
After careful inspection, Cheng Yiping dared to confirm that the person in the photo was his mother. Seeing Cheng Yiping looking at the photo and saying nothing, Zhang Ruolan was already 70-80% sure, but still not sure. She muttered: "Yiping
, have you seen the person in the photo?" Cheng Yiping was awakened by her words, his face returned to calm, and he smiled: "I don't know you!" Zhang Ruolan said: "I don't know how to call my aunt?" Cheng Yiping said: "Wen Xiuli!"
Zhang Ruolan said in disbelief: "You remember correctly?"
Cheng Yiping looked at her and said calmly: "Miss Zhang would remember her mother's name wrong?" Zhang Ruolan was stunned and realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and said hurriedly: "Yiping, I didn't mean that!" Cheng Yiping
Su Rong said: "I understand what you mean, but I have never seen the girl in the photo. My mother's name is indeed Wen Xiuli." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Ruolan's heart, could I have made a mistake?
Lowering his head, he saw that Cheng Yiping's right thumb and index finger were holding the photo tightly. Zhang Ruolan suddenly realized it and thought to himself: "Secretary Cheng, the secret has been exposed!" She then said: "It seems that I made a mistake. I just saw you in a daze, and you were still in a daze.
I thought you knew the person in the photo!" Cheng Yiping said: "Why are you looking for the person in the photo?" Zhang Ruolan said: "It's a long story, are you willing to hear it?" Cheng Yiping said: "I'd like to hear it.
detailed."
Zhang Ruolan picked up the tea cup, stroked her hair and said: "In the late 1920s, when the founding leader led the Red Army into Jinggang Mountains, there were two poor cousins in the mountains, one named Li and the other named Zhang. The two brothers were dissatisfied
Due to the exploitation and oppression of the landlord, he led a group of brothers to kill the landlord's family one night, and then led a group of poor villagers to join the Red Army. Due to their bravery in combat, the two were soon promoted from squad leader to platoon leader, and then to
Company commander, we followed the Red Army's Long March to northern Shaanxi.
"At this time, the two men had been promoted to regimental commanders, and later participated in the Anti-Japanese War together. In the early days of the Liberation War, they had each taken charge of an army, and they had been in charge of three major battles, including the cross-river battle. When New China was founded, they had already been promoted to military regions.
Commander." After saying this, Zhang Ruolan turned his head and asked, "You know who I am talking about, right?" Cheng Yiping nodded. In fact, what Zhang Ruolan said was very brief. The story of General Zhang and Li originally appeared in the history of the People's Liberation Army.
Just a legend.
Zhang Ruolan said: "In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Military Commission conferred titles on the founding generals, Mr. Li was awarded the rank of general. In the early days of the Liberation War, Mr. Zhang suffered from an old injury and went to the Soviet Union for treatment. After returning to China, the War of Liberation was almost over. Although he
He participated in and commanded the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River, but he said that he had not made much contribution to the country and the nation. He wrote to the Central Military Commission and firmly refused to accept the rank of general awarded to him by the Military Commission, and asked the Military Commission to award this honor to other suitable people.
After being "criticized" by the leader, he reluctantly accepted it, but still insisted on cutting his salary in half." Cheng Yiping praised: "The noble sentiments of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries will always be a bright mirror for the majority of cadres." In Zhang Ruolan's eyes
He showed admiration, an expression he would show when he meets a close friend. He paused and said: "After the founding of New China, the two veteran generals held different positions and devoted themselves to the vigorous construction of society together with the working people.
in the wave of doctrine."
After a pause, Zhang Ruolan lowered her tone: "Later, ten years of catastrophe broke out, and both old generals were treated unfairly. General Li had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was betrayed by a traitor during the Liberation War.
He was killed by the reactionaries. His younger son was persecuted during the Ten Years of Catastrophe, and now his brain is in good and bad shape..." Cheng Yiping sighed softly. The history of the Ten Years of Catastrophe has been concluded, and he did not want to comment anymore.
Zhang Ruolan continued: "After ten years of catastrophe, the two old generals have also restored their reputation and positions. In recent years, there are not many comrades of the two old generals alive in the world. Old General Li has served the country and the people all his life.
The only thing that worries him now is his second daughter. Before General Li entered the cowshed, in response to the leader's call, Miss Li also followed the educated youth to West China to undergo labor reform. Later, General Li was imprisoned in
The bullpen and the rebels have also arrived in West China."
"After they arrived in West China, there was no news!" Cheng Yiping wondered: "There is no news, why?" Zhang Ruolan said: "I don't know about this either. It is said that the leader who came down to arrest Miss Li Er disappeared inexplicably.
Some people also say that General Li’s beloved daughter has probably been killed, and the leader hid secretly because he was afraid that Mr. Li’s subordinates would cause trouble for him. Anyway, there is no definite news.”
Cheng Yiping secretly sighed for the fate of "Miss Li Er". Zhang Ruolan said: "Old General Li is old now. When he and General Zhang get together, he often thinks of the miserable Miss Li Er." Cheng Yiping was silent.
After half a minute, he said: "How would you know if two old generals chatted in private?" According to Zhang Ruolan's age, Cheng Yiping had roughly guessed her identity, but he still had some questions in his mind and wanted to confirm further.
Zhang Ruolan smiled and said: "To be honest, I am the granddaughter of General Zhang, the red princess among the people." Cheng Yiping nodded calmly, and Zhang Ruolan thought to herself: "Not bad, this Qi nourishing skill is quite good!"
In fact, she knew that Cheng Yiping's palms were already full of sweat. Zhang Ruolan continued: "Over the years, when Grandpa Li and Grandpa played chess, they talked about Aunt Li the most, saying that if Aunt Li was still alive, she should get married and start a family.
Maybe he even gave birth to a nephew."
Cheng Yiping smiled. The founding fathers were also human beings. When they were old, they expected the same things as ordinary people, to have children and grandchildren. In fact, there were some words that Zhang Ruolan didn't say. When Mr. Li played chess with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li often
What he said is that when he finds his daughter, if he has a nephew who is male, let him marry Mr. Zhang’s granddaughter. Mr. Zhang only has one granddaughter who is currently unmarried. Although Mr. Li has a younger son, he lost
Fertility.
Looking at the expectant eyes of his old comrades, Mr. Li agreed to this marriage where he didn't know who the groom was. With Zhang Ruolan's beauty and family background, there were naturally many well-matched young talents. His fathers asked people to come to propose marriage, but all of them were rejected by Mr. Zhang without exception.
He beat him back with a cane. Zhang Ruolan knew that his grandfather did this for no other reason than that he didn't want to hurt Grandpa Li's heart. Of course, Mr. Li also understood that his request was unreasonable, but he asked him to tell Mr. Zhang.
The agreement reached by a person does not need to be counted, but he cannot make such an opening.
Maybe deep down in the old man's heart, he has been looking forward to the appearance of his nephew?
