Inspirational life of rebirth

As the seasons change, the weather is getting colder day by day, but Yungou Town is united as one, and several projects are in full swing.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the newly built dry goods processing factory and the rattan weaving factory in the county have been completed and put into operation, and Mu Jin, the director of the woodcarving craft factory, has officially started to accept apprentices.

Many local young people apply for the job, and only one percent of them can be selected by Mu Jin. They are based on both hands and eyes. There are also checks on hand strength and endurance. Others who are not selected will be arranged to go Learning rattan weaving, that job can be started after a few days of training.

Many older local farmers have also started to learn Yuan's bacteria cultivation techniques. They are not as good as young people in their hands, feet and eyesight, but they are familiar with the work in the field and can afford all kinds of hardships.Their ancestors have lived in the village for generations, and they don’t want to go out to run around. They plant whatever the leader calls for, because the debts for the previous payment of grain have already been settled, and all the mountain products they have collected have been paid for. Now the town gives them unified planting and unified cultivation. The promise of receiving the goods, they will no longer have any doubts.

Yuan Zhengfeng had been promoted to the deputy department level before, and now he has officially become the deputy mayor. He justifiably focuses on the agricultural economy. He hardly has time to stay in the office and runs around every day. Tang Minyi is therefore much more relaxed, and the main work can only be done. thing.

All the roads in the twelfth lunar month have also been repaired. From the county to the town and the village, there are smooth concrete roads, which will be officially opened to traffic after the Spring Festival.Tang Minyi decided to bring his son back to Beijing for the New Year. His daughter had cried many times on the phone, and even his mother gave him a death order: You must bring your son home on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month at the latest!Otherwise, I will personally go to that town to catch you back!

Until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the two father and son packed up and got into the car together. It happened that the driver of the dry goods processing factory was going to deliver goods to the provincial capital, so he enthusiastically picked them up.Tang Minyi wanted to push, but the local driver persuaded him with a simple smile, "Mayor Tang, I'm just dropping by, and I didn't make a special trip for you. Why can't I sit there? Don't you think it's embarrassing to take a truck?"

Speaking of this, Tang Minyi took his son and sat on it. Tang Qinghong frequently looked back at Yungou Town, which was going away from the car window, feeling a little bit reluctant.

The seats in the car were crowded, Tang Minyi hugged his son all the way, and asked him that we are going home for the New Year, why are you not happy?

Tang Qinghong replied quietly, "I'm happy, both sides are our homes. Anyway, wherever father is, home is there."

Tang Minyi pinched his little face, "Actually, you are reluctant to part with Muyu and Yuan Jun, right? But it's good to go back to Beijing, you can play with your sister and Xiaotian."

He rejoices when he thinks about it, "Well! My sister must miss us too! I will accompany her well this time when I go back!"

On the evening of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, when they returned home in a hurry, Grandma Tang sent a car to the train station to pick them up unprincipled, and was whispered by Tang Minyi.

Grandma Tang was still so domineering, she raised her hand to stop her son from preaching, "Okay, okay! Thank you Mayor Tang for your criticism and education! Oh, my good grandson, let grandma hug him, he has grown taller! He even changed his teeth !So cute!"

Tang Xinyan also grew taller, and stood at the door waiting for them with a stuffed bear in her arms. When she saw her father get off the car with her brother, she cried and ran up to call her brother. There was no father in her eyes.

Tang Minyi had no choice but to help his daughter hug the bear, while Tang Qinghong hugged his younger sister to his full arms, kissed her face several times before he could speak, and praised his younger sister after watching her burst into laughter, "Xinyan is so good! Dad Both my brother and I miss you!"

Reluctantly, Tang Xinyan raised her head, and gave her father a perfunctory smile, her mouth still pouted, "Dad."

Feeling helpless, Tang Minyi responded to his daughter and stuffed the bear into his mother's arms, and led the two children into the house, "Come on in, it's cold outside."

For the next week or so, Tang Qinghong stayed with his sister every day to make up for her loss in the past few months.As soon as Qian Xiaotian heard that he was home, he made a fuss about coming. He visited their house several times after the year and brought a bunch of presents for the two brothers and sisters.

New Year's greetings are a big event, and the Tang and Jia families have to move around with each other. This year, when Jia Siyuan and his wife brought Jia Qinghan to the Tang's house, Tang Qinghong also took his younger sister to the Jia's house to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather. He didn't want to see that family at all. Three mouthfuls.

I stayed with my grandfather for a while with my sister, and took the New Year's money given by my grandfather. Before I went out, I met Jia Siyuan's family of three who came back. He glanced at Jia Qinghan, who still had slap marks and tears on his face, and his eyes were full of hostility.

Taking advantage of Jia Siyuan's delicate expression, he grabbed his sister and quickly slipped away.The whole family has been unhappy in various ways throughout the year, and Jia Qinghan must have been taught by his mother for being disobedient... Anyway, it's none of his business.

They stayed at home until the seventh day of the eighth day, and said goodbye to their grandmother and sister in the morning on the eighth day before leaving.This time, my sister was one year older and became more sensible. Although there were still tears in her eyes, she didn't cry and make a fuss and followed the road. She just waved her little hand to say goodbye to her brother and father, and said that she would be good.

On the way back in the car, Tang Qinghong kept thinking about it. When he accompanied his father to Long’s hometown to pay New Year’s greetings, Mr. Long chatted with his father alone for almost half an hour; in the third year of junior high, Zou Yixin also brought his wife to their house to pay New Year’s greetings, and had private conversations with grandma and father. We talked for a long time.Does this mean that Dad really wants to move?

This suspense was ready to emerge after they returned to Yungou Town——Dad's pace of progress accelerated again.At the National People's Congress in March, the word "Dai" was removed from Dad's head, but most of the work was handed over to Yuan Zhengfeng to take the lead. Work; Secretary Ma is obviously withdrawn, all major matters in the town are left to Dad to decide, and those who can not intervene will not intervene. One shift.

By April of that year, Secretary Ma saw that the two young people could make people feel at ease, and made up his mind to retire, and took the initiative to hand over the old gun that carried history to the Provincial Red Memorial Hall.

Because of this, Qian Lianghua, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, specially met him, praised him for his good deeds, and thanked him for his outstanding achievements in Yungou Town.He took this opportunity to quickly propose to Secretary Qian that he was going to retire soon, hoping that Mayor Xiao Tang could be his successor.

Succession is also a common practice. He put his son in the position of deputy mayor at the beginning. He heard that a deputy mayor would come from outside. What he thought in his heart was to show off the other party and make the acting mayor obedient. If he retires by himself, his son will be able to take over as the mayor in line. As for the acting mayor as the secretary, it doesn't matter, anyway, he just needs to be obedient.

Secretary Qian smiled and said nothing, and did not promise or express any objection to him.When he returned to the town, he rejected the county party committee's request to let him go to the National People's Congress as deputy director, and also rejected Tang Minyi and the entire team's persuasion. Secretary, Yuan Zhengfeng became the new acting mayor.

This month, the town’s large-scale agricultural product trading market has also started construction. The self-employed owner in the neighboring town who got his father’s approval in Guangzhou really kept his promise and brought several business friends to rent seats in advance. Self-employed people with a little money in their pockets also became active, asking the town to give preferential prices to local farmers.

Dad moved a desk to work on site, and as long as they are willing to pay the deposit on site, special discounts will be given to the first batch of tenants. For the first three years, they will enjoy the [-]% discount policy just like the first person to eat crabs.

Later, not only people from the nearby towns, but also people from the county and neighboring counties came to pay on the spot. Dad reminded them to carefully read the relevant terms and regulations: the market stalls must be used within three months after they are built, and they can only be used by themselves. , If the time limit is exceeded, it will be regarded as voluntary abandonment, so as to prevent someone from subletting with high prices.

Some speculators who had such an idea had to leave the market sadly, and the rest were real people who sincerely rented the stalls to do business. When the market was completed in June, it made a lot of publicity. It was so loud that they also jointly organized a small theatrical performance, and almost all the residents of the town gathered there to watch the fun.

Tang Minyi was pulling his son away to avoid the loud sound of firecrackers. Looking at this thriving town that was bursting with new energy every day, he was full of energy and passion, "Let the market determine the economy, and they will be able to Come to life, the business wisdom of common people is endless.”

In fact, Tang Qinghong couldn't hear what his father was saying at all, but he could guess from his father's expression, so he covered his ears and nodded to his father, "Yes! Yes! Whatever Dad said is right!"

Everyone in Yungou Town did not expect that in August of that year, Tang Minyi's transfer order arrived, and in early September he would officially report to a county under another province.Although everyone knew that he was promoted because of his outstanding political achievements, everyone hated this baby mayor who only stayed in Yungou Town for a year.

According to the villagers, he has just been promoted to the secretary of the baby, and he will leave this small town that is gradually changing in a blink of an eye.Everyone hated him, but they knew they couldn't keep him, so they could only take advantage of the short time before he left to do their jobs well and show the best side of Yungou Town to this young man. I hope that he will not forget this initial starting point even if he goes straight up and rushes into Yunxiao in the future.

Tang Minyi didn't show much personal emotion. Before leaving, he took his son to Gu's house, and thanked Mr. Gu for taking care of his son this year.

Gu Lao had many people coming and going in his life, and he was very open-minded, so he only handed over a large book written by himself in small letters with a brush to Tang Qinghong, "Take it with you, and read it when you have time, it will be beneficial to your body." Good thing. If you encounter something you don’t understand, call me or Yuan Jun, he can learn better than you, unlike you who spend three days fishing and two days posting on the net.”

Ever since Yuan Zhengfeng became the mayor, the Gu family has installed a telephone, which is the minimum equipment to avoid delays at critical moments.Yuan Jun listened to his grandfather's words, and pulled Tang Qinghong with a full face, "Honghong, call me often, don't worry about what your father and my father said that public calls are not allowed!"

Yuan Zhengfeng was walking into the room, his face was tanned several times, and he shouted at his son, "Yuan Jun! What did you just say?"

Tang Qinghong stuck out his tongue at Gu Lao, and praised Yuan Jun in front of Gu Lao and Yuan Zhengfeng, "I know a little about everything, and I don't concentrate on everything... Yuan Jun is better than me, he will definitely be able to take over Grandpa Gu in the future class!"

Elder Gu looked at his more sensible grandson, smiled and shook his head, "Learning Chinese medicine is too hard and boring, he only needs to learn a little bit of this, and it won't take too much time for him to cook a meal to keep healthy. It's not like I don't have Apprentice, you have studied with me for decades."

Yuan Jun squeezed Tang Qinghong's hand and refused to let it go, his eyes were shining very brightly, "Honghong, I will make a lot of money in the future, become a big boss, and then go find you."

Tang Qinghong wanted to laugh when he heard that, this kid has high ambitions, so he should encourage him in front of his family, since he is about to leave anyway, "Well, then you work hard."

Tang Minyi pulled Yuan Zhengfeng aside and confessed privately that after I leave, you may be in charge of the overall work. You should make preparations early. I have already reported to the county magistrate Dai. I suggest not to transfer comrades from other places to serve as secretary. Instead, I recommend you, a town mayor who is familiar with the local situation and doing well, to serve concurrently.As for other adjustments in the team, you can figure it out yourself, and there will be no major resistance now.

Yuan Zhengfeng was very grateful. Tang Minyi did his best for his guidance and support along the way. He did not thank Tang Minyi for his great kindness. He held Tang Minyi's hand tightly, expressing that he would devote himself to Yungou Town and die, and he would not disappoint Tang Minyi. The secretary's cultivation and trust in him.

Tang Minyi patted his hand with a smile, reminding him to pay attention to his health, don't break down his body because of business affairs, what's the point of working so hard?

Yuan Zhengfeng listened carefully and kept this instruction firmly in his heart. Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Gu asked them to have dinner together, and went to the kitchen for the last time to bring out a large cup of medicinal food stewed for Tang Qinghong himself.

The next night, the two Mu family father and son who got the news also came to the Tang family. In addition to expressing their gratitude to Tang Minyi in person, Mu Jin also repeatedly asked his son to remember the great kindness of the Tang family, so that he can spring again when he has the opportunity. Report to each other.

Muyu was not good at words, so he took out a small tiger woodcarving that was rubbed very smooth from his arms and gave it to Tang Qinghong, saying that he learned how to carve by himself and wanted to give it to Honghong a long time ago, but he was afraid of being laughed at because of his poor craftsmanship. Just kept it until now.

Tang Qinghong took a closer look at the little tiger. Although the lines were not so smooth, every detail was thoughtful, especially the silly expression on the little tiger's face, which was really like the main character, and he couldn't help smiling Showing the two dimples on his face, "I like it very much, thank you."

Anyway, he was leaving soon, Tang Qinghong was too lazy to bring so much luggage, so he gave Muyu all his toys that had been left out for a long time, and let Muyu take away all the clothes he had never worn. One point.When his mother and Qian Xiaotian came here before, they brought him too much, and they brought a lot when they came back from the New Year in Beijing. How can he dress and play well?

After the father's handover work was finished, the father and son wanted to leave quietly and let everyone work and live as usual, but Secretary Ma, Yuan Zhengfeng, and Director Xu who had retired at home came together and insisted on seeing them off , As a result, the people in the town were alarmed, and they all stood in front of the car and blocked the road to prevent them from leaving.

Tang Minyi reluctantly opened the door and got out of the car to comfort everyone, but the villagers did not listen to his great principles. A group of people surrounded him and refused to give way; another group ran home to get things.

Seeing that the sky is getting brighter, more and more people are blocking the road, and the local products sent by the villagers are piled up on the road, Tang Minyi's face, which has never shown his love, can't help but move. He raises his arms and asks everyone not to get too excited.

His clear voice became a little hoarse, "I accept everyone's wishes. These are good things. I really want to take some away, but I can't fit them in the car. Everyone took all the gifts back. I am very grateful! I It’s not like Tang Minyi will never come back! In the future, if I have a chance, I will come back to visit everyone. Yungou Town is my second hometown, and I am the son of Yungou Town!”

This remark made everyone applaud, and some female family members and old people were already wiping tears. A fellow villager suppressed his sadness and smiled and said: "Since last year, our life has become better! There is surplus food at home to make wine! Don Secretary, if you refuse to accept gifts, we will listen to you, at least drink a bowl of homemade grain wine before leaving!"

Tang Minyi saw the tears streaming down from the fellow, and immediately nodded decisively, "Okay, let's drink!"

The fellow quickly unsealed his jar of wine, poured a bowl full, and handed it to him with both hands.

Tang Qinghong's eyes were also wet. Normally, he always forbids his father to drink, but at this time he also felt that this bowl of wine should be drunk.

Several other cadres took the wine that the villagers continued to pour, and raised their bowls to follow Tang Minyi to respect everyone. Tang Minyi first bowed deeply to the villagers, and then raised his hands and raised his head to drink the bowl of wine.

He drank freely and heroically, even though the alcohol content of this pure grain wine was not low, he still finished the whole bowl in one go.

While a blush quickly appeared on his face, he pulled Yuan Zhengfeng, who had just finished a bowl like him, and patted him on the shoulder to explain a few words to the villagers, "Starting today, Comrade Yuan Zhengfeng officially provoked and led Yungou Town The burden of working hard, please continue to support Comrade Yuan Zhengfeng’s work as always, just like supporting Secretary Ma and me! As for me, Tang Minyi, I will always remember the folks in Yungou Town and the comrades who have fought together No matter sooner or later, I will definitely come back and see!"

Amid the continuous applause and cheers, Tang Minyi took his son into the car again. Tang Qinghong saw Yu Xiaoshuan in the driver's seat also secretly wiping tears.

Yuan Zhengfeng and Director Xu wanted to follow in the car, and they still had a lot to say to Tang Minyi, but Tang Minyi stopped him, "Don't send them off, the town is busy with work. It's enough if you feel good about it. To Secretary Ma, you should pay more attention to him." In the life after retirement, talking with him when he has free time, he feels very bitter."

Director Xu choked with sobs and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we will, Secretary Tang, walk slowly, take care of yourself."

Tang Minyi looked at this reborn middle-aged man, smiled at Yuan Zhengfeng, and held their hands together, "Old Xu is now focused on doing practical things, and can help you in many ways. Xiao Yuan, anyone who can use it should use it." You can’t do everything by yourself.”

Yuan Zhengfeng complied calmly and grabbed the reluctant Director Xu. Tang Minyi appeared again and waved to Secretary Ma and other cadres and people, "Don't send them away, everyone! Go back!"

The crowd dispersed quickly, giving way to the only way to leave Yungou Town.But after the jeep started slowly, the crowd still followed the car and refused to stop.

Tang Minyi kept waving for them to go home, but they kept following in silence. Tang Qinghong looked back again and again, and finally couldn't hold back his emotional tears, buried his head in his father's arms, soaking his father's short-sleeved shirt.

"Father, I can't bear them...I can't bear Yungou Town."

Yu Xiaoshuan also looked red-eyed at the people silently following behind the car in the rearview mirror, "Secretary Tang is a really good official, that's why everyone is reluctant to leave you."

"Honghong, Dad knows that you are very reluctant, but when it's time to give up, you have to give up. Thanks for your hard work, it's like being with Dad, and we will change many places. How can you be so sad every time?"

Listening to his father's gentle comfort with a bit of cold comfort, Tang Qinghong raised his little hand to wipe away his tears, "Well... I don't want to part with them, but I won't stay because of them. I must go with my father, no matter what Wherever Dad goes, I will follow you."

Tang Minyi closed his eyes to relieve the bout of alcohol, and still kept a calm smile on his face, "Dad is not lying, we will come back to see if we have the opportunity, the work here...Dad still has a lot to do."

Looking at his father's tired expression, Tang Qinghong understood almost instantly that his father was not completely relieved, even for Yuan Zhengfeng who he had mentioned.Dad is so rational, not because he is ruthless, but because he buried that emotion deeper, sublimated it higher, and turned those emotional shouts into more specific responsibilities.
