After going up to the second floor, he saw that the lights in the guest room were still on. Cheng Yiping gently pushed open the master bedroom. On the large bed, Xiao Xi used Lin Xiaoyu's right arm as a pillow and had fallen asleep. Seeing Cheng Yiping come in, Lin Xiaoyu put down his hand.
Lin Xiaoyu smiled and shook her head. Cheng Yiping whispered: "Good night, I'm going to bed." Lin Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "Good night, I'm going to bed."
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded. Cheng Yiping gently closed the door and walked to the guest room.
Lying in bed, Cheng Yiping thought about what happened today, and suddenly thought of his mother Wen Xiuli. Didn't her mother go to the capital? Why didn't she get a call until now? When she picked up the phone, she found that the phone had run out of power and shut down automatically. She shook it with some annoyance.
Shaking his head, he took out the electric board. He stood up and went to the desk to open the drawer. He took out the spare electric board and replaced it. When he turned on the phone, he found that there were two or three missed calls. Two were from Zhang Ruolan and one was from a stranger.
From Beijing.
Wen Xiuli did not use her mobile phone. Cheng Yiping guessed that the strange call was probably from her mother. He sat back on the bed and hesitated before dialing the strange number. The call was quickly connected and a pleasant female voice came from the receiver: "Hello,
I'm Xiao Min, the chief's health nurse. Who are you?" Cheng Yiping was stunned. It turned out that the missed call was not from his mother. It was his grandfather, whom he had never met, who dialed his phone number. He didn't hear Cheng Yiping's reply.
The person on the receiver said again: "Hello!"
Thinking of his grandpa dialing his phone, Cheng Yiping suddenly became excited. He said hurriedly: "Hello, I am Cheng Yiping. Did Mr. Li dial my number two hours ago?" There was a startled look in the receiver.
He called out: "Cheng Yiping? You are the nephew of the chief, are you the little chief?" Little chief? He was not used to this title for a while, so he responded: "I am Cheng Yiping." Xiao Min said: "The chief is not asleep yet.
I'm chatting with the second lady, please wait, I'll call him."
Grandpa wanted to talk to him, and Cheng Yiping suddenly became excited. Who is grandpa? He is an outstanding founder and one of the leaders of our army. He has gone through the Long March, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Liberation War. He is one of the founding fathers of New China. Although he has never
Zhang Ruolan had already known about her grandfather's identity and deeds from the history textbooks, but Cheng Yiping's heart still beat unsatisfactorily when he thought that this old man who had fought for the Republic all his life was about to talk to him on the phone.
I stood up and closed the door to the guest room. Footsteps came from the receiver, followed by my mother's voice: "Dad, please slow down..." followed by a majestic and resonant old man's voice: "It's okay! I'm not too old to walk yet.
"Cheng Yiping's heart beat faster. He took a deep breath and heard his mother's voice from the receiver: "It's Xiaobao, your grandpa wants to talk to you." Cheng Yiping said: "Mom, grandpa hasn't rested yet.
"?" After saying this, Cheng Yiping realized that he had said nonsense.
Wen Xiuli said: "Your grandpa was going to rest, but he didn't sleep again when he heard your call!" Cheng Yiping said: "Mom, please give the phone to grandpa." Wen Xiuli smiled and said: "Okay." Cheng Yiping took a deep breath.
After a while, the old man's kind voice came from the receiver: "It's Xiao Cheng, I'm your grandpa!" Cheng Yiping said respectfully: "Grandpa, hello!" The old man smiled and said: "Second girl said, you are now
Deputy Secretary of the Yunshan County Party Committee, may your work go well."
Cheng Yiping began to sweat on his back and said carefully: "Grandpa, the party has put me in this position. I know that the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee has great responsibilities and glorious tasks. I am young and have little knowledge, and I have always been walking on thin ice.
I am working and studying at the same time, and I am deeply afraid that I will not do well, betray the trust of the party and superior leaders, and be unable to benefit the people of Yunshan." The old man said: "It is right to be in awe, and I don't dare to think about being too cautious, and that is not the case.
If you dare to do it, you will be a mediocre official!"
Cheng Yiping said: "I will definitely remember my grandpa's teachings!" The old man may have found that his topic was too serious, and was afraid of scaring his nephew, who he had never met, so he smiled and said: "Have you ever been a secretary for Xiao Shitou?" Cheng Yiping was stunned.
Little stone? Suddenly he realized that what his grandfather was talking about was Zhang Keshi, Zhang Peng's father. The dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee was called little stone by his grandfather. Cheng Yiping couldn't help but smile on his face, but then he said solemnly: "Well, after graduation I will
I worked as Secretary Zhang’s secretary for two years.”
The old man smiled and said: "Since I scolded him once, Xiao Shitou hasn't come to see me for two or three years. Has he done something bad and is hiding from me?" Cheng Yiping began to sweat, but he didn't
Knowing that Secretary Zhang had been criticized by his grandfather, he didn't know how to answer this question. He thought for a while and said: "The provincial party committee is too busy with work. I work as Secretary Zhang's secretary. He has been busy with work. He never returned to the capital during the Spring Festival.
New Year!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yiping realized that his reason was too bad. If he didn't go back to the capital for the New Year, he should go to the capital for a meeting. The old man naturally heard that Cheng Yiping was defending Zhang Keshi, but the old man didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "Here it is, little one."
Shitou said, I have been watching the work he has done in the past few years, and it is not bad! Let him take time to come to the capital and play chess with my old man." Hearing the old man's words, Cheng Yiping couldn't help but be surprised.
This year is a year of transition. Since the beginning of summer, he has been paying attention to the changes in the province. Secretary Li of the West China Provincial Party Committee has reached retirement age. Whether the new secretary will be generated from local cadres in West China or airborne from the central government has always been the most talked about topic among West China cadres in private.
One. Various rumors are circulating in the market. In addition to Governor Zhu who is qualified to compete for this position, Secretary Zhang is also one of the strong contenders. Now that grandpa has asked himself to bring a message to Secretary Zhang, could it be...
This thought just flashed through his mind. Cheng Yiping did not dare to think about it anymore and replied: "Grandpa, I will definitely bring your words to Secretary Zhang." The voice of health nurse Xiao Min came from the receiver again: "Chief
, it's time for you to rest." The old man smiled and said: "Okay, I'm going to have a rest. I'll leave you with four words." Cheng Yiping listened attentively, and the old man said: "Seek truth from facts! All my life, I only believe in what the chairman proposed.
Four words, we relied on this to win in the war years, and these are the four words that guide our work in reform and opening up!"
Cheng Yiping understood that the chairman his grandfather was talking about was not the current No. 1 chief, but the founding leader of the Republic. He respectfully said: "I will remember your words, and I will definitely do what you asked for in my future work. You go to bed early, I will
I must make time to visit you as soon as possible!" The old man said happily: "Okay! Okay!" and then hung up the phone.
Cheng Yiping put down the phone and found that his hands were covered with sweat. He smiled to himself, found a tissue and wiped his hands. Next, he had to make another call to Secretary Zhang. This was the task of the grandpa's agent. He looked at the time and it was just past midnight.
However, today is Sunday. At this time, Secretary Zhang usually reads in the study. He picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Keshi's number. Cheng Yiping smiled and said: "Old man, you haven't rested yet?" Zhang Keshi said: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly.
!”
Cheng Yiping said: "Old man, Mr. Li from Beijing asked me to give you a message." Zhang Keshi was startled and said: "Who are you talking about? Mr. Li?" The sound of Zhang Keshi getting up and closing the study door came from the receiver. Cheng Yiping
He said: "Well, Mr. Li from the capital." Zhang Keshi's voice changed a little and said: "What did he say?" Cheng Yiping said: "Mr. Li said, 'Give Xiao Shitou a message, he has done it in the past few years.
I've been watching his work, and it's not bad! Let him take some time to come to the capital and play chess with my old man.'"
Zhang Keshi breathed out lightly and cursed with a smile: "No matter how big or small, you can call me my nickname?" Cheng Yiping said with a smile: "Old man, I am paraphrasing the old man's words, and I am not disrespectful to you!
Zhang Keshi's words were obviously full of joy, and he smiled and said: "How did you meet Mr. Li?" Cheng Yiping said: "Old man, Mr. Li is my grandfather." Now he will tell how she met Zhang Ruolan, and how she found out that she and Mr. Li
They looked very similar, so they went home with him and told him about taking his mother to the capital.
After listening to Cheng Yiping's story, Zhang Keshi said: "Mr. Li has been looking for Miss Li Er all these years. I really didn't expect that she turned out to be your mother. It has been hard on her these years." Cheng Yiping said: "My mother has really not been there these years.
Easy." Zhang Keshi said: "When your mother comes back from the capital, remember to take her to your home to sit and sit!" Cheng Yiping said: "I will definitely bring her here." Zhang Keshi said: "That's it!" After that, he said goodbye.
Got the phone call.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sun was as hot as fire. A white BMW stopped in the parking lot of the County People's Hospital. Before Yin Sisi could park the car, Liu Tiantian couldn't wait to open the door and walk out. She received a call from Cheng Yiping when she got off work at noon.
It was said that Xiaojun had been injured and hospitalized for two days and had just woken up last night. Liu Tiantian was stunned for a moment. Her phone fell to the floor and she didn’t even know it. Naturally, she couldn’t hear what she said next. When she reacted, she found that her phone had fallen to the ground and the electrical panel had been damaged.
It was so shocked that it fell out.
Picking up the phone, she called Yin Sisi and drove over. Outside the hospital outpatient building, Cheng Yiping and Zhang Peng were already waiting. When Liu Tiantian saw Zhang Peng frowning and whispering something to Cheng Yiping, she immediately thought that Xiaojun had an accident.
, rushed to them in a few steps and couldn't stop the tears from flowing out. Cheng Yiping knew that Liu Tiantian's sister and brother had a deep love. When he saw Liu Tiantian crying, he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her: "Stop crying, no more
Cry and turn into a cat with a painted face!"
Liu Tiantian took the tissue and choked up: "Brother, is Xiaojun seriously injured?" Cheng Yiping nodded and said: "Xiaojun is awake. Secretary Zhang and I just went to see him. The doctor said he needs to rest for two to three months.
My body has completely recovered!" Liu Tiantian wiped her tears and said, "I just saw Brother Zhang talking to you with a frown on his face. I thought Xiaojun had an accident. I..." Zhang Peng, who was next to him, heard her words.
Yile couldn't help but smile and said: "There were criminals who wanted to assassinate Brother Cheng last night. I was just reporting the latest investigation status of the case to Brother Cheng. I didn't expect Tian'er to misunderstand it."
Hearing that a criminal was against Cheng Yiping, Liu Tiantian stepped forward, grabbed his hand, looked up and down, and asked urgently: "Brother, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"
