life in the sky

"I like this girl, she looks as beautiful as when I was young." Tong Tong first expressed his opinion after seeing Liu Yanan.

Zhao Ting said with a smile: "You come here less, why do you say that Yanan looks like you, are you his mother? You are going to be a mother-in-law, and you are still so shameless."

Lei Lei looked at it for a long time before saying: "Don't say it, what Sister Tong Tong said is still reasonable. Yanan's eyes are like Sister Ling'er, eyebrows are like Sister Wu Yin, nose is like Sister Tingting, and his face is a bit like Sister Tong Tong. As for the mouth , I think it looks like me. This girl combines all the advantages of a woman, and I support her as our daughter-in-law."

"I also agree." Wu Yin said unhurriedly: "This girl is not bad."

Liu Yanan seemed a little nervous in front of the five expectant mothers-in-law. Before she came here, she heard Zhong Zhenhai talk about the family situation, but she didn't expect it to be such a harmonious big family. Hearing that she was praised for her beauty, Liu Yanan couldn't help but blushed. That woman doesn't want to hear someone say she is beautiful.

Zhong Ling made a final decision: "That's right, we in Zhenhai still have some vision."

After more than half an hour, Liu Yanan finally got rid of the indiscriminate bombardment of the five expectant mothers-in-law, and followed Zhong Zhenhai to Mu Guoxing's office, where she met the most beloved Prime Minister who could only be seen on TV on weekdays.

"Father, I brought Yanan to our house."

Mu Guoxing put down the pen in his hand, looked at his son and then at Liu Yanan and smiled: "Have you visited your mothers?"

Although Liu Yanan also came from a high-ranking family, her family is incomparable with the Mu family. The gap between a major general and a prime minister is still very large.Liu Yanan did not expect that during the holiday, everyone was resting, but the Prime Minister was still busy with state affairs.

"Hello, Chief!" Liu Yanan saluted a standard military salute, his youthful and beautiful face flushed with nervousness, it was everyone's expectation to see the Prime Minister in person, and it was the dream of many girls to become the Prime Minister's daughter-in-law things.

"It's called Yanan, your parents are in good health!"

"Thank you chief for your concern, my parents are in good health!"

"Yanan, don't be cautious here, just treat this place as your home, Zhenhai wants to treat Yanan well."

Coming out of Mu Guoxing's office, Liu Yanan stuck out his tongue at Zhong Zhenhai and patted his chest: "I'm so nervous, I finally met the person I admire the most today."

"Don't look at my father who is very serious on the surface, but he is actually very easy-going. If you come here often in the future, you will know."

Liu Yanan jokingly said, "Is this an official invitation?"

Zhong Zhenhai also smiled: "Didn't you see that you have passed the assessment of my mother and father, don't you have so little confidence in yourself?"

For more than a year, Liu Yanan has spent a lot of effort to pursue Zhong Zhenhai. She is very clear about Zhong Zhenhai's three criteria for choosing a spouse. He worked hard everywhere in the training, which attracted Zhong Zhenhai's attention.The two often discussed study matters together, and their relationship deepened day by day. During the winter vacation, Zhong Zhenhai finally sent an invitation to Liu Yanan.

Liu Yanan could never forget the night before she entered Beijing, her father and mother repeatedly asked her what to say when she met the Prime Minister and how to respond to Zhong Zhenhai's mother's questioning.Before, Liu Yanan thought that Zhong Zhenhai's mother would be so superior, but when he saw him today, he realized that she was a kind and amiable person. At this moment, Liu Yanan also subconsciously regarded himself as a member of the Mu family.

Liu Xiang and his wife, who were waiting in the hotel, were also very nervous at the moment. They were also worried about whether their daughter's visit to Mu's house would be approved by the Prime Minister's family.You must know that this matter is not only related to the happiness of your daughter, but also has a very large impact on the social status of the entire family.

When the husband and wife were anxious, the doorbell rang, and a very energetic staff appeared in front of them.

"Excuse me, are they General Liu Xiang and his wife? I am a staff member of the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister invites you to visit us at home." The couple looked at each other, and a big stone fell in their hearts. If the daughter behaves badly, the Prime Minister will definitely not send someone to come. please them.

Although Liu Xiang was a big figure in the Naval Academy, he had nothing to do when he came to the capital, let alone at the prime minister's house.Liu Xiang was better, but his wife Hu Yuelan was a little dizzy, and her feet were a little weak.

"Welcome Comrade Liu Xiang and Comrade Hu Yuelan to visit our house, you have raised a good boy."

Mu Guoxing's words dispelled the tension in Liu Xiang's and his wife's hearts. At first, they thought that the Prime Minister's home must be extremely luxurious, but now it seems very simple. Let alone Liu Xiang, the political commissar of the Naval Academy, even a professor's home would stronger than here.

Mu Guoxing inquired about the situation of the Naval Naval Academy, and learned about Zhong Zhenhai's study and training results, and then said with a smile: "Zhenhai has liked warships since he was a child, and sending him to the Naval Academy is not only our family but also Mr. Zhong's." Hope, I hope you can strictly demand him and not relax management of him because of family reasons."

"Zhenhai was able to strictly demand himself in school, and never showed any privileged thought. The unity with his classmates is also very good, he is also very hardworking in study and training, and his grades are also excellent."

Mu Guoxing and Zhong Ling entertained Liu Xiang and his wife and Liu Yanan in the small restaurant at home, and Zhong Zhenhai naturally only had to accompany him.At this time, Mu Guoxing would definitely not call the whole family here, and there are some things that should be paid attention to.

At the dinner party, Liu Xiang and his wife were very reserved, and Zhenhai played the role of adjusting the atmosphere at this time, talking about his study in school.Liu Xiang and his wife saw that after Mu Guoxing listened to his son's words, his eyes showed approval from time to time.This strong-handed prime minister is not as serious as the rumors in official circles, but also has a strong sense of humanity.

In another restaurant, the scene was completely different. The four mothers asked Zhong Min when he would bring his girlfriend back as if they had made an appointment, especially what Tong Tong said was straightforward: "Zhong Min Ah, my younger brother has brought back his girlfriend, you, as an older brother, have to work harder."

Zhonghua, Xinyue, and Xinmeng also booed together, asking brother to cheer up, and he must not fall behind second brother in finding a girlfriend. Even if he loses this time, he must win back when he gets married and has children.

After everyone's questioning, Mu Zhongmin finally agreed to bring his girlfriend back tomorrow. His statement once again aroused the cheers of his brothers and sisters. For two consecutive days, Zhenhai and Zhongmin brought back their girlfriends, which made Yi The music hall was full of joy, and the sadness left by the old lady's death gradually faded away.Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and are inevitable for any family. It is precisely by this law that human beings can continue to reproduce and develop.

Zhongmin's girlfriend is Huang Jing, and she is also very beautiful, even better than Liu Yanan. She is generous and quiet in front of Zhongmin's family.Unlike his younger brother Zhenhai's girlfriend Liu Yanan, Huang Jing does not have a prominent family status, and her parents are both scientific researchers in military enterprises, which is somewhat unexpected to Zhong Ling and others.

After sending Huang Jing away, Zhong Ling asked, "Zhongmin, what did you think when you found this girlfriend?"

"Our family must first consider the influence of the family in everything we do. I have said before that the purpose of not looking for children from high-ranking families is to avoid nepotism. If our country is to achieve true democracy, we must We have to start from our generation, starting from scratch. Of course, this is also based on love. I love Huang Jing, and she loves me. This is enough. I don’t care about her family background, after all The future path of life depends on us to walk.”

Zhong Ling nodded after hearing this, and did not speak. She felt that this son had a different perspective on problems, and he had his own opinions in everything he did, and he would never change himself because of the influence of others.

In the evening, Mu Guoxing and Zhong Ling talked about this matter. Mu Guoxing said: "The child has grown up, and his thinking is correct. We should feel relieved that he can think about things like this."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The day before the official work after the Spring Festival, Li Qingshan and Sun Shuting came to Yi Le Hall hand in hand, this is a habit formed by the two of them for many years.The Spring Festival is a day to visit relatives and friends, and it is normal for old colleagues to get together.

In their status, regardless of their high status and weight, they still need to pay special attention to some things.On weekdays, the relationship is too close, although no one dares to express anything publicly, but private discussions are unavoidable. It would be bad if people say that they are forming cliques and engaging in hilltopism.

In the officialdom, small officials have difficulties for small officials, and high officials also have their taboos. Factions are formed due to differences in political opinions. This is inevitable in any dynasty. Even in some so-called democratic countries in the West, factional struggles Equally serious.

However, everything must have a degree, and there is also a question of whether it is open or not.While everyone knew about factionalism, no one spoke out about it.Those who do should try their best to avoid making it public, and those who say it should not put it on the table. Only in this way can a superficial harmony be formed.

Because of this, some strange phenomena will appear in the officialdom. Some people obviously belong to the same faction, but they don’t move around much on weekdays. Some leaders will even criticize themselves in some public places. Get up cadres.This has also been summed up by some good people as one of the iron rules of officialdom: it is not necessarily a bad thing for a leader to criticize you, and it is definitely not a good thing for a leader to be polite to you.

Everything has a premise. At this time, it depends on whether you are a person on the leader’s line. If you are someone who is appreciated by the leader and single-handedly promoted, the criticism from the leader is care and love, and there is also a kind of hatred. It means that iron cannot be made into steel, which means that the leader still regards you as one of his own, and if there is something, change it or encourage it. As long as you hold the leader's words, you will always have the correct attitude.

However, if the leader suddenly becomes polite to you, you should pay attention at this time. This means that the leader no longer regards you as one of his own and is about to abandon you, and your career path will come to an end.

Therefore, in the officialdom, the attitude of the leader towards his subordinates is the barometer of a person's fate. As for whether there are other reasons in this, it is up to you to realize it yourself, so the attitude is everything. This sentence It is truly a wise saying.

"Leader." With the change of status, Li Qingshan called Mu Guoxing differently.When Mu Guoxing first entered the central leadership group, Li Qingshan was a deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security at that time, so it was natural to call Mu Guoxing the head, but now Li Qingshan and Mu Guoxing are both members of the Politburo Standing Committee. The chief is not suitable, and the word leader is the most suitable title.

Don't underestimate the titles in the officialdom, there is a lot of knowledge here, Li Qingshan calls Mu Guoxing the leader, first of all he puts himself in the position of a subordinate, this is respect for Mu Guoxing, and secondly, there is another meaning Based on their ranking in the Standing Committee, Mu Guoxing is the most famous No. [-], while Li Qingshan is No. [-]. Although everyone has an equal vote in the Standing Committee, who dare not admit that No. [-] is their squad leader Woolen cloth?

"You returned to Baohe for inspection a few years ago, and the response was great. My uncle also called me and introduced to me some of the situation after your inspection of Weizhong City and Baohe City. The work has aroused huge repercussions. In addition, Baohe City Party Committee Propaganda Department sent a special person to send a CD-ROM, the main content of which is some video materials when you worked in Baohe County and this time you went back to inspect.”

Mu Guoxing did not pick up the CD, but smiled and said: "The masses have a scale in their hearts, and we must treat our cadres correctly. I once said in Baohe County, don't highlight individuals, but pay attention to To promote the role of the collective and the power of the masses, please tell the comrades of the Baohe Municipal Party Committee that the film cannot be broadcast or circulated, and the CDs that have been produced must be destroyed immediately."

Mu Guoxing thought for a while and then said: "Yesterday, Cao Jinian called me and reported to me that after the Ningbei Provincial Party Committee adjusted the work of several municipal Party committee secretaries, it did cause a lot of repercussions. Since it was a holiday, these The sequelae of the matter have not yet emerged. I guess some people will use this matter to make a fuss. Political system reform is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. If the authority is weak, they will jump out and make irresponsible remarks, and this ideological tendency must attract our attention.”

Sun Shuting went on to say: "What the leader said is very correct. There is indeed such a situation. Some people think that after the reform of the political system, the power of the government has increased and the power of the party committee has been reduced. Change, the consequences will be very serious."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "Shu Ting's worry is still justified. We also discussed this issue when we had lunch with No. [-] and No. [-] yesterday. It seems that the change of thinking is not something that can be achieved in a short time. To solve it, apart from my own transformation, there is another more important factor that is the role of propaganda. We must understand what the power in our hands is used for. Comrade Yunfei has also noticed this problem and is planning to speak at the upcoming It was proposed at the Central Plenary Session that a large-scale study and discussion should be carried out within the entire party, and the Political and Legal Department should take the lead in this regard.”

The three drank tea together, after a while Li Qingshan said with a smile: "I heard that both Zhongmin and Zhenhai have girlfriends, so I wanted to be a matchmaker for them, but now it seems that there is no need for that."

"The children's path depends on them. What kind of girlfriend they find is their own business. As a parent, they can only provide him with reference. I have met those two girls, and they are very good in every way."

Sun Shuting said with a smile: "I heard that the girl Zhongmin was looking for came from an ordinary family of scientific researchers. Very good."

Mu Guoxing is very clear about the meaning of Sun Shuting's words. Since the spread of Zhongmin and Zhenhai's mate selection criteria, not only some political families in the capital, but also some local officials are eager to move. Everyone wants to climb the high branch of the prime minister. , There are also some people with bad intentions who want to use this as a springboard to climb up.

During that time, the homes of Mu Guoxing's old subordinates were overcrowded every day, and there were even some rumors that the old Mu's family was going to marry someone's family, and some normal personnel adjustments were also related to this matter.Although this is not a big deal, it is scary if there are too many rumors. Otherwise, how can there be people in Huaxia who can say that rumors kill people.

For Mu Guoxing's thoughts, these old subordinates of his are naturally well aware. Although there are some very good girls among them, Mu Guoxing's old subordinates always think that this matter should go with the flow, The Mu family has such a good tutor, the children will naturally handle these things well.
