The small hoe hit the earthen basin hard, and the hard soil in winter made a "clang, clang" sound, which was very clear and harsh.
Today is the beginning of spring.
The plan for the year begins with spring. On the day of the beginning of spring, General Fang will do some work with his own hands. Although he is old and frail now, he has maintained this habit for many years.
Standing behind him with a watering can in his hand is his third son, Fang Luping, who is currently the most accomplished person in the Fang family.
At this time, Xiaohonglou had become quiet.
Except for the liveliness here on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, after the liveliness, it becomes quiet. From now on, it will be very troublesome and difficult for any of the Fang family's children, even those closest to the general, to enter this little red building.
Even if Fang Luping wanted to come over, he had to say hello in advance and the old man had to nod before he could enter the gate of this small building.
There is only one exception.
This person is Fang Lujian, the second eldest son of the Fang family.
It's not because Fang Lujian is anything special among the second generation of the Fang family, it's just because Fang Lujian and the old man have a common hobby, both of them like flowers and plants.
The old general is getting old and since he said he has been living at home, he doesn't like to talk about worldly things or work. He hates not coming to the door when there is nothing wrong, but coming to ask for help when he needs something.
Therefore, General Fang's door has always been completely open only to Fang Lujian, and there are obstacles for others to come.
Fang Luping came here today, and he helped the old man take care of the flowers and plants. The two of them have been working together in a tacit understanding.
Old General Fang used a small hoe to loosen the soil in the pot, and his voice of "Clang Clang!" was very rhythmic.
Fang Luping stood next to the old man, looking at his father quietly without saying a word.
He is now a prince. His personal time is too tight and his work is too busy. Even during the Spring Festival, his return trip is quite hurried.
During the Spring Festival, as the secretary of a province, he needs to visit every day to express condolences. He has to attend group meetings, plan work for the new year, receive visits from his subordinates, and he also has to consider the future of the Fang family and even the northwest department...
It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Luping is the greatest hope and the most dazzling star of the entire Northwest Department.
No one from the northwest clique has been able to enter the top leadership of the party in so many years. Fang Luping is now the greatest hope of the northwest clique. He is now in Liaodong, which is a fertile ground for hope and the province with the most development prospects. As long as Fang Luping grasps the opportunity in Liaodong
Given the opportunity to take up a new position, given his current age, he is definitely expected to enter the party's top leadership.
But before that, Fang Luping needs to gradually start to take over the responsibility of the Northwest from the previous generation of the Northwest Department. This burden is not light and it is a big challenge for him.
How big is this stall in Northwest China? How complicated are the relationships involved?
Only those who are involved in it can truly understand how difficult it is to straighten out these relationships.
Just before Fang Luping returned to Beijing, the central government adjusted the team of Chujiang Province, and Sha Mingde, secretary of the Chujiang Provincial Party Committee, went to northern Jiangsu.
This adjustment caused quite a shock in the high-level political circles of the Republic.
Northern Jiangsu is a traditional large province of the Republic and the foundation of the East China Clan. Originally, according to common sense, the top position in this province should be airborne from the central government, or selected and promoted from the elites of the East China Clan, but in the end the central government appointed the Central Plains
Sha Mingde took office in East China, which is really surprising.
In East China and Chujiang, the strength of the northwest system in these two places is relatively weak.
Especially in northern Jiangsu, there are currently vacancies for officials above the northwest deputy department in northern Jiangsu. The most dazzling one is Gu Linfeng who is appointed mayor of Huaiyang City.
Working alone in northern Jiangsu, Gu Linfeng still can't make people completely reassured. At present, the two pillars of the northwest department, Gu Mingfan and Wen Zhuonan, are still in their seats, so the people below will have some concerns.
However, if Fang Luping were to take over the responsibility of the Northwest Department, would the situation change subtly?
Fang Luping was unsure about this. At such a critical moment, he could only seek advice from the old man.
After all, there is also competition within the Northwest Department. Although Fang Luping has a slight advantage, several others are also outstanding figures. To make everyone return to Fang Luping, he needs to do something before completing the replacement of the old with the new.
Showed.
Maybe starting from Chujiang or Northern Jiangsu is a good choice.
Xu Ziqing, now the leading figure in the Northwest Department of Chujiang, took the initiative to visit Fang Luping last year. During that contact, the communication between the two parties was smooth, and Fang Luping was deeply impressed by Xu Ziqing.
As for Northern Jiangsu, this is a wasteland area, and Gu Linfeng, the future hope of the Northwest Department, is here. If he can do something in Northern Jiangsu, this will not only help Fang Luping penetrate his influence in the Northwest Department, but also
It also allows the leading figures of the older generation in the northwest to hand over power with peace of mind. After all, Gu Mingfan is behind Gu Linfeng. Winning Gu Mingfan's support is very important to Fang Luping.
"Father, has your grandson-in-law read it? Is he satisfied?" Fang Luping suddenly said.
General Fang was still pouting at a fixed rhythm, as if he didn't hear Fang Luping's words.
After a long time, he turned to look at Fang Luping and said, "What? Are you targeting him?"
Fang Luping was stunned and looked a little embarrassed. He was very nervous in front of the old general.
The reason for the tension is that although the old man is old, he has seen everything through his military and rough life.
No matter how Fang Luping tried to hide it, he could not hide his inner thoughts from the old man, and the old man would sneer at him unceremoniously. This was the biggest pressure he faced.
Chen Jingfang and Lu Ping made great efforts to understand it.
This young man was very popular in Chujiang and was highly regarded by Sha Mingde. As a division-level cadre, it seemed incredible that he could establish a relationship with the provincial party committee secretary.
And precisely for this reason, Chen Jing can be said to be very eye-catching in Chujiang.
For Chen Jing, Xu Ziqing called Fang Luping more than once. On the phone, Xu Ziqing made no secret of his appreciation for Chen Jing. His meaning was very clear. He hoped that Chen Jing could be used for him. At this point, Fang Luping
Home needs to function.
Originally, Fang Luping didn't care much about this matter.
How can he, the dignified secretary of the provincial party committee and the leading figure in the Northwest Department, have much time to care about the use of a small department-level cadre?
Besides, the Northwest Department needs to grow, and the Northwest Department needs to make a difference. He has too much work to do. His concern for Chen Jing is more because of Fang Wanqi.
As the daughter of the Fang family, Fang Wanqi can have better choices and take on more responsibilities for the family.
But Fang Wanqi was not like this. He chose Chen Jing and never thought about taking any responsibility for the family. This was something that Fang Luping was very annoyed about as a parent.
However, the world is always changing.
When the leadership of Chujiang Province was adjusted this time, he suddenly became interested in Chen Jing.
Xu Ziqing is sure that he will be more in control of solving Chen Jing's problem, and Xu Ziqing already has a good foundation in Chujiang. This time, taking advantage of the new team's appointment, Xu Ziqing can definitely do more in Chujiang.
In addition, now that Sha Mingde is gone, the traces he left behind in Chujiang will definitely fade away.
And his influence will definitely weaken. At this time, does it mean that Xu Ziqing can insert into this gap?
Being able to form a certain degree of tacit understanding with Sha Mingde will not only benefit Chujiang now, but also benefit Northern Jiangsu now.
When Sha Mingde arrived in Northern Jiangsu, his eyesight went dark. Although the power of the Northwest Department in Northern Jiangsu was unbearable, it was better than nothing. At least Sha Mingde had someone available in Northern Jiangsu. And for the Northwest Department, was this also an opportunity?
It was precisely based on these various considerations that Fang Luping became more active. He came over to ask the old man for advice and to see what the old man thought of Chen Jing.
Old General Fang has been digging the ground with a very focused expression.
I don't know how much time passed, but Mr. Fang said: "You don't need to worry about this child, Xiao Chen! From the appearance of this child, he is noble. From the perspective of fortune, he is separated. He can take care of himself.
You don’t need to worry too much!”
Fang Luping was stunned and speechless.
I don't know since when, the old man suddenly became interested in studying fortune telling, Feng Shui and other messy and mysterious things.
When it comes to this topic, Fang Luping is often speechless and speechless.
He smiled mockingly to himself, thinking that maybe he shouldn't have come. He couldn't handle Wanqi's affairs before, and maybe he wouldn't be able to handle it in the future.
But no matter what, Chen Jing is the son-in-law of the Fang family after all. Could it be that the Fang family came to help him and hindered him? Or simply, could it be that the Fang family was too small to accommodate this young man?
Fang Luping felt it was a bit ridiculous, but in front of the old man, he did not dare to show any abnormality and remained respectful.
"Xiao Chen, this kid is calm, calm, and scheming. Qiqi's eyes are very powerful!" the old general said suddenly.
He rolled his eyes, stared at Fang Luping and said: "I think this kid is more promising than Xiao Tang and Xiao Gu. From now on, as an uncle, you, as an uncle, try to be nicer to him. Uncles, brothers and sisters, the first thing you need to see is
It's family affection, flesh and blood love.
Sometimes, many things are distorted by you, interests are put first, and the most important family ties, friendships and even love in life are put on the sidelines.
If you were like this for the rest of your life, wouldn't this world be terrible?"
The old man paused, threw away the small hoe in his hand, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, that's it for today! I was in a good mood, but you made me lose my mood. You must always remember that you must always maintain
You must have a sincere heart and a kind heart.
When considering problems, especially when it comes to children, you should consider less about interests and more about family affection. This is good for you and everyone..." (To be continued)
