Inspirational life of rebirth

Tang Minyi was attracted by his son, "Wood carving? How big is it?"

"The small one is only a tiny bit, but he said that the big one can also be carved. Oh, you can see for yourself! Really, it looks very valuable, but his family is so poor, how strange!"

He recommends everything he can.Based on his two lifetimes of appreciation experience, the ancestral craftsmanship of the Mu family is indeed exquisite and lifelike, especially small ornaments, pendants, and play pieces, which have extremely high artistic and commercial value.Mu Geda is as honest as his son, because this craft was feared before, and several generations of painstaking efforts were all wasted. Later, he didn't dare to take on jobs anymore, and only dared to secretly carve some hands at home for practice.

Tang Minyi listened to it, took it to heart, and immediately agreed: "Well, Dad has time to take a look."

Early the next morning, before they got up, there was a knock on the door.Mu Yu kept Tang Qinghong's explanation firmly in mind, and came here just after dawn.

Tang Qinghong excitedly asked his father to help, and Tang Minyi and Muyu carried the things to the car to the county town together before saying goodbye to his son formally.

Tang Minyi was still worried, and told his son not to get out of the car until he saw Zhao Lan and Ding Yu, and he would make a phone call first.Muyu stood by Tang Qinghong's side without saying a word, and nodded vigorously to Tang Minyi, which made him feel that this big boy should be reliable.

After seeing off his son, Tang Minyi turned around and went to the town government. Today was his first day of official work, and Secretary Ma said he would hold a small meeting.He gave a brief report to the whole team. Secretary Ma and his son also expressed their solidarity and support at the meeting. After the meeting, he went to Secretary Ma's office alone. Mayor Ma was also inside. When he saw him, he would smile and lock the door closed.

This three-person meeting was the highlight. After he visited the old secretary at Ma's house, Mayor Ma rushed to the county. He must have something to talk about today.

Sure enough, Mayor Ma complained straight to the point, "Oh, Mayor Tang, I went to the county yesterday and saw that the Standing Committee was being held there. Mayor Dai recommended my old man to be the Deputy Director of the Construction Committee at the meeting, but he failed! Some members of the standing committee thought my father was too old and low-educated, so they rejected it! The person they passed, I asked, was actually a relative of the secretary of the county party committee. Huh, the construction committee is such a good place! But you are really right Yes, County Magistrate Dai admired my dad very much, and had a special meal with me after the meeting, and asked me to come back to comfort my dad and do ideological work for my dad."

Tang Minyi expressed surprise, "It didn't pass? The work of the construction committee is very complicated, involving all aspects of housing resettlement for ordinary people. An old revolutionary like Secretary Ma has rich experience at the grassroots level, so he is a very suitable candidate. But since the county committee has other arrangements, we must There are also their considerations."

Mayor Ma rolled his eyes, and his anger was evident, "They don't care about the lives of ordinary people? They're nepotism! They think my father is too old, and I won't finish this matter with them!"

Secretary Ma glanced at Tang Minyi, and quickly stopped his son, "What nonsense are you talking about? The county committee has the consideration of the county committee! I didn't want to go up, but I was grateful to the county magistrate Dai for looking up to my old bones, so I didn't stop you. Take this trip. It’s fine if you don’t pass. I’m old and disabled, and I can’t read a few big characters. I really can’t bring it up. Since the county committee has made such a decision, we have to obey!”

Tang Minyi heard understanding from Secretary Ma's words, but it was more of a complaint, "The old secretary is right, the central government also emphasizes that stability is the major prerequisite for development, and calls for the unity of all comrades and keeping in step to achieve development. However, the experience and ideas of the elders should be respected.”

Secretary Ma felt better, and even changed his address, "Xiao Tang is a good comrade. If our country is full of young cadres like you, we old men will feel at ease."

Mayor Ma endured it, but still couldn't help it, "Let's forget it? He, Secretary Li, is nepotism, and he is playing cronyism in the party. We all pretend to be deaf and dumb? I heard that the debate was fierce at the meeting. It makes sense, he really wants to think about the common people! But some people are arbitrary and tyrannical, and don’t talk about politics and democracy at all, so we have to vote, peach, newspaper, and Lee, Dad!"

Secretary Ma sighed and said: "I accept the favor of the county magistrate Dai. We must actively cooperate with the work of the county magistrate Dai in the future, and don't cause trouble for him."

Tang Minyi listened calmly, knowing in his heart: If you don't cause trouble to County Magistrate Dai, you won't cause trouble to Tang Minyi, but the implication is obviously to cause trouble to Secretary Li.

It was almost here, Tang Minyi said a few more words of comfort, and asked Secretary Ma to arrange for him a competent man to accompany him around the grassroots.

Secretary Ma saw that he respected him as the monitor so much, and asked for instructions on every step of the work. The old man put a gratified smile on his face, "Okay, this is no problem. You are new here, and you have a lot to learn. My old horse put the words in Here it is, the whole team works together to support Xiao Tang's work!"

Tang Qinghong was sitting in the car at this time, enduring the ecstasy bumps, frowning very uncomfortable.Muyu who was sitting next to him peeled an orange, put the orange kernels into his mouth one by one, and put the orange peel in his palm after he finished eating, "Smell, I don't feel dizzy."

This simple earth method is really useful, at least the attention has been successfully diverted.It was about nine o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the county station. Zhao Lan and Ding Yu stood guard early and picked them up with their belongings.

Those big sacks were not too heavy, and they were heavy enough for Ding Yu to carry, not as good as Zhao Lan and Mu Yu's fighting power.Tang Qinghong saw that Teacher Ding looked much better, and asked him to go to the vegetable market with him.

As soon as Zhao Lan heard that they were going to the market, she asked what was in the sack. Mu Yu untied one bag, and Zhao Lan was delighted when she saw it, "Oh, this is a good thing! Don't go to the vegetable market anymore. , take them all back to the yard, I’ll find someone to buy them all for you!”

Zhao Lan moved very quickly, shouting left and right in the yard, a large group of aunts and daughters-in-law gathered around, you half a catty and I a catty, and quickly divided up the wild fungi.

The whole process took less than half an hour, and a stack of scattered tickets was put in Tang Qinghong's hands. Zhao Lan smiled and boasted, "How about it, Honghong, I didn't lie to you, did I? Come, go home with my aunt, and have lunch at home .”

Tang Qinghong handed over the money to Muyu, and smiled sweetly at Zhao Lan, "Thank you, Aunt Zhao! I haven't seen you for two days, and you look beautiful again! You go back first, we have to go to the market to buy some belts. Something to go back to."

Zhao Lan didn't worry about the two children messing around in the county, but she had to go home and cook first, so she looked at Ding Yu eagerly, and handed him the key to the bicycle lock.The poor teacher nodded, "I'll accompany them."

When it was time for lunch, the three of them returned to the dormitory of the County Public Security Bureau on time. Ding Yu and Mu Yu were exhausted, but they didn't let Tang Qinghong take anything.

The Jiang family lived on the fifth floor, and Tang Qinghong didn't let them carry it up, so he smiled sweetly and talked nicely to the porter's grandfather, and piled all the things at the bottom for temporary storage.

After lunch, Jiang Wei and his wife were all dispatched, and the bicycles were full of things. Ding Yu, the only adult who was idle, volunteered to send the two children back to the town, and by the way, he also had a look at what the town was like.

When the group of three returned to the town with their goods, Ding Yu, who grew up in the American Empire, was once again shocked by the poverty in front of him, let alone the dozen or so children who were guarding the station, seeing the rice and oil in exchange There was a loud cheer.These most basic necessities of life can make the children so excited, the poverty here made him deeply impressed.

Tang Qinghong didn't bother to move those things anymore, so he divided up the spoils on the spot.Tang Minyi, who came to pick him up, smiled and appreciated that his son was admired and supported by his friends. He also went to a nearby small shop to buy some bags and joined the ranks of helping to distribute things.

There are a lot of onlookers, everyone is very curious, you ask each other.When the children said that the rice and oil were exchanged for the wild mushrooms on the mountain, the honest villagers became nervous, and some of them said that it was speculative and that it was impossible to do it.A few years ago, outsiders came to collect these mountain goods and were sentenced to prison.

Tang Qinghong blinked and pulled his father in front of them, "This is your mayor Tang, let him tell you, can it work like this!"

Tang Minyi straightened his face and loudly explained to the villagers that this kind of behavior is not a crime!It is completely reasonable and legal for local farm products to be sold in the county.Also, he walked around the town today and found that some self-employed people are very smart, contracting fish ponds, orchards, opening breakfast shops, bicycle repair shops... The government will give affirmation and support to any active entrepreneurial behavior .There is nothing terrible or shameful about wanting to be rich, just do it with all your might!If you have any questions or concerns, you can go to the town government to consult him. He is always welcome.

This on-the-spot speech was of the nature of an on-the-spot office. Although the villagers were skeptical, most of them had a look of hope on their faces.

Tang Qinghong saw longing and anticipation from the expressions of these people, and they collectively looked at Dad eagerly; while Dad, surrounded by many eyes, was calm and relaxed, as if he should stand in the middle of the crowd by nature, serving these ordinary people with lofty ambitions. The people who help solve problems and guide the direction.The sharpness of Dad's whole body was covered by the ugly frame, but his calm figure in the setting sun shone with soft brilliance. Dad with this appearance was so handsome that even the button on the collar of his white shirt was shining brightly. Let him stare intently, and even make his heart beat faster.

This made him instantly realize that apart from being his father, his father was also a man's man, with a strong masculine charm exuded by the maturity and confidence in his gestures, which was what he lacked the most and admired the most in his previous life.At the same time, he clearly realized that his father will not only belong to him, but also belong to the people who are waiting for help and guidance. No one can stop his footsteps, otherwise he will stand on the opposite side of his father.He can only follow his father closely, accompany his father through every rough detour, and grow slowly on the road, in order to walk shoulder to shoulder with his father.

Tang Minyi comforted the villagers, and when he turned around, he saw his son looking up at him intently, with warm and clear emotions in his big eyes, so clear that he could see to the end at a glance.This is the child he is proud of, born with a delicate heart, already extremely intelligent at such a young age, helping him to do good and good things everywhere, and consciously reducing obstacles for him.But apart from his pride, he couldn't help feeling helpless. If Honghong was in another family, he would have had an ordinary and happy childhood, instead of being influenced by his ears and eyes at a young age like him. Precocious beyond many adults.

Tang Qinghong saw pity and comfort in his father's eyes. Although his father didn't say much in front of everyone, he just smiled and stretched out his hand to rub his little head, but he knew that his father was affirming him. Done right.He also smiled at his father, took out the handkerchief in his pocket and lifted his feet to wipe his sweat. Dad squatted down slightly, and after cooperating with his movements, he returned to the children and helped them check that the bags and small pots were fastened , Tightly not.

In the end, the father and son of the Tang family left nothing behind, and distributed everything to the children. Muyu twisted a small bag of rice and a small pot of oil, and went all the way to look back.Tang Minyi picked up his son and sat him on his shoulders. Tang Qinghong laughed and waved to Muyu.

Ding Yu was stunned watching the whole process, but he didn't stop what he was doing. After returning to the guest house with them, he fell asleep and didn't even have the energy to take a bath.

The next morning, the father and son of the Tang family woke up to find that Ding Yu was gone.

The two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help a smirk on their faces - Mr. Ding obviously couldn't take the blow anymore, so he just sneaked away.I guess I have to cry and go back to the United States soon, right?

Early in the morning, Muyu knocked on the door of Gu's house on his bicycle, saying that Grandpa Gu asked him to pick up Honghong. Tang Minyi entrusted his son to this honest boy, and went to the town government with confidence.

He briefly reported to Secretary Ma, saying that he had gained a lot yesterday, and found that Yungou Town has a simple folk style and rich resources. It is almost full of treasures and definitely has potential for development.If some varieties are selected to be made into dry goods and brought to the Canton Fair for a stroll, it may attract a large amount of investment.

Secretary Ma praised him for his flexibility, but he didn't make a clear statement. To be honest, Secretary Ma didn't even know what the "Canton Fair" was. The written report is submitted to the county party committee.With the guidance of the county party committee, the work will be more secure.

Tang Minyi understood the old comrade's concerns very well. He was afraid that his stride would be too big and he was unwilling to take responsibility. After nodding his head, he said that since he wanted to make a report, he had to go to the countryside for more time to further implement the matter. .

When Secretary Ma heard that he was going to the countryside, he was very relieved. This little Tang was really good, and he only focused on practical matters and didn't care about personnel affairs at all.Having said that, it is still necessary to try again, "Little Tang, it is good to do practical things, but comrades, you have to pay close attention to your ideological work."

Tang Minyi smiled slightly, "I am absolutely assured that I have an old comrade like you at the helm in ideological work. Besides, I don't know when the code on my head will be removed, and I don't know how long I can stay here. I just hope to be here When it is time to find a way out for the people in the town, it can be regarded as contributing to the cause of the party and making a small contribution."

Secretary Ma was relieved by what he said, and he patted his hand to show his affirmation, "Just do it well and don't worry about it. Anyone who dares to obstruct it can report to me. I will definitely steer the helm for you and fully support you! But..."

An embarrassing smile appeared on that old face, and he said that he had originally planned to arrange for the correspondent from yesterday to assist him in his work, but he didn't expect that comrade to take a rest today, so he had to arrange another candidate for him.

"You don't need to arrange a special person for me, otherwise it will disrupt the work steps of the comrades and affect the work efficiency."

Tang Minyi knew very well that the comrade must be exhausted and felt that there was no benefit in this matter, so he quit.

While the two were talking, Mayor Ma came in, and he opened his mouth to recommend that beautiful director Yu to accompany Tang Minyi to the countryside. He really regarded him as one of his own.But Tang Minyi couldn't bear it, and declined with a wry smile, "The gays can't keep up, and the lesbians can't bear it even more, and the burden on Director Yu's shoulders is also heavy. You'd better find me a strong man."

Secretary Ma thought for a while, then patted his thigh, "Who is that, Director Liu, he is tall and young, so he is quite suitable!"

Mayor Ma rolled his eyes and smiled, "That's right! He has nothing to do anyway, Mayor Tang, let him walk with you!"

Director Liu obviously didn't like the favor of the secretary's father and son, so he just greeted him after hard work.Tang Minyi knew it well, nodded his head and listened to their arrangement, and within 10 minutes he found someone to meet and shake hands with, and they went out together.

In fact, he had heard about this deputy director for a long time. During dinner at Jiang Wei's house, the other party mentioned that he could use this person.But he took the initiative to use it, and the secretary arranged for him to use it, which has a very different meaning.

As soon as the two of them left the office, Director Xu approached with a smile all over his face, "Mayor Tang, are you going out?"

He nodded and greeted with a smile, "Director Xu goes to work quite early."

Director Xu hurriedly said, "You came so early, do I dare to go to work on time? Tomorrow I have to be early to learn from you!"

Seeing that the other party stopped him and didn't move, he seemed to have something to do, so he stopped and asked directly, "Is there anything else to do?"

"Uh...it's about arranging your place of residence. I'm in charge of that. I'm looking for someone to clean up and put furniture away..."

Oh, it turned out that this is the matter, they are still living in the hostel now, and it is time to find a time to move.But now I'm busy going out, and moving is a private matter.Tang Minyi thought about explaining, "Then move after get off work, and I'll try to come back as soon as possible?"

How could director Xu make a request to the mayor, and said with a smile: "If it's convenient for you, I will do it for you?"
