It is already hot summer in Bayi Villa District, and the weather in Beijing is a bit sultry.
Chen Jing and Fang Lujian took a car together to visit General Fang. On the way, Fang Lujian said: "Xiao Chen, the old man doesn't often meet with the younger generation. Even the third brother sometimes goes to Beijing to see him but is turned away. This time
He takes the initiative to meet you, so you should seize the opportunity!"
Chen Jingdao: "Uncle Fang, this may be thanks to Wanqi. The old general has always liked Wanqi..."
Fang Lujian interrupted him and said: "You can't say that. You have performed very well. Self-reliance is the most important thing. The old man likes people like you who come from ordinary backgrounds and rely on their own abilities to achieve results. Those of us
People, he thinks they have no future and they all rely on family connections to get to the top!"
Fang Lujian said this with a somewhat bleak tone. It was obvious that he did not agree with some of the old man's ideas.
The car stopped outside the small red building. Fang Lujian and Chen Jing got off the car together. Since Fang Lujian came here to work, he was also the only one among the old general's sons who could come to this yard at any time, so the two of them went straight in.
Arrived in the courtyard.
In the yard, there are flowers and trees, making it a lively scene.
The entire yard was decorated with hundreds of bonsais of different shapes. When Chen Jing came in, he felt as if he had entered a large botanical garden.
Under the sunshade net, the old general was wearing a set of loose casual clothes. He was leaning on a cane in one hand and holding a small shovel in the other hand. He was loosening the soil of a small boxwood bonsai. It was the first time that Chen Jing saw the old man wearing so few clothes.
clothing.
Looking from behind, the old man is a bit frighteningly thin, especially his legs, which are so thin that it feels like they could be blown over if the wind blows.
The old man's back was also extremely stooped, and it was quite strenuous to bend over and swing the shovel.
Fang Lujian walked slowly over. The old man did not look back, but he could feel his arrival. He said, "Wait a minute. Let me finish serving this basin!"
His words still had a strong northwest accent. Fang Lujian went over and said, "Let me help you?"
"No, no! I feel comfortable serving this thing." The old man said stubbornly.
Fang Lujian smiled sarcastically and stood aside.
The old man turned to look at him and said, "What are you doing here? Take the children to sit!"
Chen Jing took this opportunity to walk up to the old man and call out politely: "Grandpa!"
The old man looked back at Chen Jing with soft eyes, but Chen Jing felt that his eyes were particularly ethereal and bottomless.
"Well, go and sit down first! I'll come over in a minute!"
Fang Lujian led Chen Jing to sit in the living room. The orderly came over to serve tea to the two of them. Fang Lujian pointed to the door and said: "The environment here is not bad! The old man is old. It is already very difficult to serve these basins.
But these basins are his lifeblood, and sometimes there is really nothing he can do!
Sometimes when I come over to help, he feels less stressed..."
When he said this, he looked out the window quite emotionally and said, "My father is really old. If he were in a rural area, how would he support an old man of this age? You should know this, Xiao Chen, right?"
Chen Jing was stunned and said: "In filial homes in rural areas, elderly people over eighty years old generally do not live alone. They basically live with their children so that they can serve them at all times!"
"Live together?" Fang Lujian was stunned. He pondered for a while, clapped his hands and said:
"That's right. Why can't we live together? This is a good suggestion. Hey, Xiao Chen, we have to talk to the old man later. Anyway, in terms of age, I am about to arrive at my post. After I retire, I often
It’s a good thing to be able to serve beside the elderly!”
Fang Lujian's mood suddenly became high. At this moment, the old general pushed the door open and walked in. He patted his clothes and said:
"What are you so happy about? Can you tell me about any happy events?"
Fang Lujian hurriedly said: "Father, I just chatted with Xiao Chen and asked about ordinary people in rural areas supporting the elderly. Do you know what he said? He told me that ordinary people do not live alone when their elderly are eighty years old.
, basically living with their children!
I'm thinking in my heart, I will move in with you tomorrow and will always be by your side, so we feel at ease, don't we?"
The old man was stunned, frowning and saying nothing. He slowly walked in the door with a cane. Fang Lujian stood up and helped him sit on the main sofa. After sitting down, Fang Lujian gave him another
Passing the teapot, the old man took a sip of tea, with a trace of blood on his face, and then said to Chen Jing:
"Does that custom really exist in your hometown?"
Chen Jing nodded and said: "Indeed, I have worked in rural areas, and things are like this there. In rural areas, life is rare in the past seventy years. Old people who are over eighty are considered to be very old people. They need to have children by their side.
Serve.”
The old general was silent for a long time after hearing Chen Jing's words. He took another sip of water and the conversation had changed. He said, "Can you adapt to the climate over there in Lingnan?"
Chen Jingdao: "The climate in Lingnan is very good and pleasant. It's like spring all year round. It doesn't feel too hot when it's hot, and it doesn't feel too cold when it's cold. It's better than Chujiang!"
The old general shook his head and said: "It depends on the person. For you southerners, the climate there is very good, but for us northerners, Lingnan is a nightmare. It is too humid and there are too many mosquitoes. I was there that year
I served as a soldier, and after several years, no part of my skin is intact!"
He paused and then said: "So, people often advise me to go to Lingnan to recuperate, saying that the winter in the north is too cold and is bad for the heart. Little do we know that we people from the northwest have been in the northwest for generations. If we really want to go south, we will not be accustomed to the acclimatization.
It’s the most deadly!”
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the old man to tell him about this incident. He nodded and said:
"Grandpa, what you said makes sense. I once met an old man from the northwest when I was in Lingnan. One day the weather was very good and the sky was particularly clear at night. We all praised the sky as beautiful. At that time, an old man told us
Say, if you want to see the endless sky, you have to go to the northwest, the sky in the south is too low!"
The old general was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed twice, looking quite happy.
Chen Jing had never seen the old general smile until now. Chen Jing felt relaxed when the old man smiled.
The old man waited for a while and then said: "It's a pity. Now that I'm old, I can't experience the high sky and cool air in the northwest! If it had been ten years earlier, why would I have stayed in the capital all day long? I could have returned.
Retirement in the Northwest!”
After chatting with the old general for a while, the old man left Chen Jing and Fang Lujian to eat.
The staple food was northwest-style steamed buns. Chen Jing ate one steamed bun and some braised beef, and he was full.
After the meal, the old general's medical staff arrived, and the old man had to cooperate with the medical staff for treatment for a long time in the afternoon.
Chen Jing and Fang Lujian said goodbye at this time. The old general smiled at Chen Jing and said: "You are a thief if you are too old to die. Life now is actually no fun. The only fun is to see you."
The younger generation can do more and make our country more prosperous and stronger.
Young people are the hope of the country's future, and young cadres are the hope of the future! You must work hard and devote yourself to your work, and strive to reach a higher position and play a greater role!"
Chen Jing said excitedly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will work hard and do a good job in a down-to-earth manner!"
A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he waved his hand to Chen Jing and said: "Okay, I know you are very busy. I have delayed you for so long. Go and do what you should do! I will lose my personal freedom soon."
He turned around, then suddenly turned back and said, "Chu people are extremely filial. This is indeed true..."
Chen Jing was startled and looked at the old man again. He had slowly walked away under the support of medical staff.
…
In order to receive the five experts and the investigation team composed of experts and provincial and municipal officials, Lijiao made great efforts this time.
The Venus Hotel that was previously used for reception had too few luxury suites, so the reception unit was moved to the International Hotel.
Since Chen Jingren was still in the capital, Li Guowei hosted the entire reception. On the first day of the inspection team's arrival in Linjiao, the district arranged for the inspection team to go out to sea to relax.
In this aspect, Li Guowei is very familiar with the road. He contacted the cruise ship, arranged the specific itinerary for the sea trip, etc. He personally took care of it.
Except for Professor Sun Jing, the other four of the five experts are all from the north. Northerners are extremely curious about the sea. In addition to the experts, several provincial and municipal leaders rarely go to sea.
, so everyone was very interested in having a day out at sea.
Seeing that this group of distinguished guests were in good spirits, Li Guowei breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had been having a hard time recently and was under a lot of pressure.
He always wondered in his mind that Chen Jing deliberately stayed in the capital for one more day and left the reception work to him. Is this a test in disguise?
Or is this not a test at all, but an excuse to find trouble?
Li Guowei felt guilty, and naturally he had a lot of things on his mind. He thought of all kinds of messy things, and it was inevitable that he would feel nervous.
It wasn't until the next day that Liu Qufeng called Li Guowei and said that Secretary Chen had arrived at the Guangdong Airport and that the expert investigation team would be able to work from the next day, he felt relieved.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that provincial and municipal media began to gather in Neijiao, and many towns and villages below Neijiao also sensed the change in the atmosphere and called him to inquire about the situation.
At this moment, Li Guowei is really convinced by Chen Jing. Chen Jing's work is linked to each other, very meticulous and thoughtful.
Take this time of expert assistance as an example. From the big discussion to the current large-scale media focus, he used planning to set up the stage. The fundamental purpose is to hype the neighbors and provide enough topics for the neighbors to increase their popularity.
In addition, Chen Jing also needs to use this method to gradually control the situation in his neighborhood...
