Rebirth of Politics

Yang Lu got off the train in Tengzhou early in the morning. As soon as he got out of the station, he saw Zhou Nan standing outside smiling.

"Brother, it's been a long time!" Zhou Nan seems to be still acting like he was in Cangnan, even though he has now been promoted to the deputy director of the Tengzhou City Public Security Bureau, he has not changed his address to Yang Lu.

"It's really troublesome for you." Yang Lu said shyly.

"Come on, what are you talking about being shy to my brother?" Zhou Pai patted him on the shoulder and said: "You look good, it seems that Secretary Ye has not treated you badly."

Yang Lu smirked, thinking he would dare to treat him badly?

"Is the secretary okay?" Zhou Nan asked concerned: "There was a lot of news for a while."

"You saw it too?" Yang Lu scratched his head and smiled, it turns out that Donghai's news can also be seen here.

"Why didn't you see it!" Zhou Nan said triumphantly, "As expected of Secretary Ye, he is capable and responsible."

"Hehe..." Yang Lu continued to smirk.

"Don't laugh, how is the secretary recently?"

"Very good." Yang Lu smiled and said, "He also asked me to tell you that he has time to go to Donghai for a drink."

"Really?" Zhou Nan's eyes lit up: "Then I will definitely go!"

"Okay." Yang Lu nodded emphatically, and the two got into the car.

Zhou Nan didn't take the driver with him, but drove Yang Lu back to Cangnan himself.

Along the way, Zhou Nan not only introduced the current situation of his old relationships, but also revealed his desire to follow Ye Zhanyun in both words and deeds.

"It's still fun to work with Secretary Ye. Don't look at my brother who has a deputy bureau in Tengzhou now, but his mother is too suffocating. It's better to get along in Cangnan!" Zhou Nanyu complained.

Yang Lu smiled and said nothing, Zhou Nan wanted to follow Ye Zhanyun, it was not up to him to decide.But he understood what Zhou Nan meant, it was for him to pass on a message to Ye Zhanyun.

"Tengzhou is a prefecture-level city after all, what's wrong?" Yang Lu asked rhetorically.

Zhou Nan gave him a sideways look, and said, "You've learned a lot, kid."

Yang Lu chuckled and fell silent.

All the way to Yang Lu's house, Zhou Nan helped him carry his luggage out of the car and was about to leave.

"Come in and have a drink." Yang Lu said shyly.

"I'm not going," Zhou Nan waved his hand and said, "Brother will practice it for you when you leave, you can't say no!"

Yang Lu thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

After watching Zhou Nan go, Yang Lu stood in front of his unit for a long time, feeling a little timid.

In order not to disturb his mother's rest, he did not tell her about his return today. Now he is standing outside the wall separating him from his mother, and he doesn't know what it feels like.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" While he was in a daze, the door of the building opened, and a man in his thirties wearing glasses came out.

"Huh?" Yang Lu was taken aback, he didn't remember such a person in the building.

"Who are you looking for?" The man spoke Mandarin, and Yang Lu was even more surprised when he heard it, because the locals in Cangnan all spoke the local dialect.

"Oh, I belong to this family." Yang Lu pointed to the window of his own house.

"Oh, you are Xiao Yang!" The man smiled when he saw the direction of Yang Lu's finger, and said in a loud voice, "Come in, come in, I'm new here, and I'm just across from your house. My name is Zhang Xinhua .”

Yang Lu shook his hand and said, "Brother Zhang."

Zhang Xinhua was obviously excited when he saw Yang Lu, and asked, "Aren't you in the East China Sea? I heard that you are working as a driver for Secretary Ye?"

Yang Lu smiled shyly and said, "He is Mayor Ye now."

"Yes, yes, Mayor Ye!" Zhang Xinhua's eyes showed admiration: "Mayor Ye is courageous, and he has climbed such a big step after leaving Cangnan for two years. It's really..."

Yang Lu blushed when he heard that, Ye Zhanyun is also a human being, so why do he worship him so much?

The two of them were exchanging pleasantries, when a surprised cry came from behind Yang Lu: "Yang Lu! Why are you back?"

Yang Lu turned his head and saw his mother standing with a hale and hearty old man. Both of them were wearing sportswear, as if they had just returned from morning exercise.

"Mom, you are..." His mother didn't have the habit of doing morning exercises before!

"Mom went to exercise, don't say you practice for a while every morning, your body is much better than before." Mother Yang said happily.

Looking at his mother's smiling face, Yang Lu suddenly felt that his mother looked younger.

"This is our new neighbor, your Uncle Zhang!" Yang's mother introduced enthusiastically: "It was Lao Zhang who took me to exercise, and my body is so good."

Yang Lu nodded to Old Zhang in a nonchalant manner, and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Yang Lu, right?" Zhang Guorui smiled kindly at Yang Lu: "I always hear your mother mentioning you, this time you can see the real person."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and Yang Lu's doubts were relieved. He smiled at Zhang's father and son, and walked home with his mother.

"Yang Lu, come and sit at home when you have time." When he reached the door of the room, Lao Zhang invited him.

"Yeah, yeah, it's hard to come back, let's find a time to have a drink." Zhang Xinhua also came over to make fun of it.

"Uh, okay." Yang Lu hesitated and nodded.

Talked about the family life with Yang's mother for a day, Yang Lu didn't talk much, just listened to his mother's nagging, after cleaning up the house while listening to his mother's nagging, he leaned on the sofa and pretended to be an uncle.

Yang's mother was like most mothers who waited for their sons to come home, wishing to pile up all the delicious food at home in front of their sons, even Yang Lu was not allowed to clean the house or do some heavy work.

"Mom, it's hard for me to come back. Tell me about the work at home!" An elderly woman lives alone, and there are always some inconveniences. Yang Lu feels very guilty, wishing to help his mother with all the work. Done.

"No need, Xiao Zhang will help me with any work." Mother Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing to do with you, just sit and watch TV!"

"Then I'll cook for you."

"Okay, just wait and eat, and try Mom's cooking." Yang's mother said again: "I learned a way of making fish from the opposite door, Lao Zhang, and you can try it later."

"Hey." Yang Lu himself was not good at words, and he couldn't find anything to talk about with his mother except food, drink and health, so he could only sit on the sofa and watch his mother busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, what does the opposite door do?" Yang Lu couldn't help wondering when he thought of the Zhang family and his son at the opposite door.

"Lao Zhang is a retired teacher from No. [-] Middle School, and Xiao Zhang works in the Education Bureau." Mother Yang replied while making fish.

Yang Lu said oh, no wonder Lao Zhang looks quite temperamental, it turned out that he had retired from the education front. "Who else is in their family?"

"Xiao Zhang's daughter-in-law is teaching in the village, and she only came back on weekends. There is also a child named Niuniu, who is in kindergarten." Yang's mother replied, "I have picked her up twice."

"What about Xiao Zhang's mother?"

"Dead." Mother Yang sighed, "I've been dead for many years, about the same year as your father passed away..."

Seeing his mother thinking about sad things again, Yang Lu walked into the kitchen, took his mother's hand, and said, "Mom, don't be sad."

Mother Yang turned her back and said with a forced smile, "Why am I so sad! It's been so many years."

Yang Lu wanted to say don't worry, I will definitely make you happy, but when he thought about what happened with himself and Ye Zhanyun, he swallowed the words again.

After falling asleep, Yang Lu tossed and turned thinking about how to tell his mother about going to the capital for the New Year, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that his mother would be sad, so he stayed up until dawn, but couldn't make up his mind.

In the morning, Mother Yang called him up early: "There is still a long way to the village, go back early and drink less."

"Mom, aren't you going?" Yang Lu asked.

"My identity..." Mother Yang smiled, "I won't go."

In fact, Yang's father has passed away for so many years, and Yang's mother's status as a widow has long been downplayed by people. Besides, Yang Lu is now driving Ye Zhanyun and doing a lot of things for Yang's village. The development is even higher, but today is Yang Caichang's happy day, and she is still afraid of making him suffer.

"Mom, you're too careful." Yang Lu said distressedly.

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Yang Muwen said in a word.

Yang Lu's eyes widened in surprise: "Mom, you, you..."

"What's wrong? Am I using it wrong?"

"No, who taught you?" Yang Lu was really not used to why his mother suddenly became educated.

"Old Zhang taught it," Yang's mother smiled lightly, seeing her son's surprised face, she explained dryly again: "I always go to exercise with him, and I learned a few words."

"Oh." Yang Lu didn't think too much, after eating the breakfast prepared by his mother, he touched the gift money in his pocket and went out.

As soon as he left, Yang Lu was stunned: "Jiang Yuan?"

Jiang Yuan stood in front of a car, rubbing his hands and waiting for him. "Brother Yang!"

"Hey!" Yang Lu looked at him with some embarrassment: "Why are you here?"

"I heard what Brother Zhou said." Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Aren't you going back to your hometown to attend the wedding banquet? I brought you a car."

"I, I'll just be a bus." Yang Lu stammered.

"The bus is so inconvenient!" Jiang Yuan stuffed the car key into his hand: "The gas is full, you can use it as you like. Brother Yang, you are really, don't tell me when you come back." Jiang Yuan is now It's the mayor of Fengying Township, but he's still so polite when he sees Yang Lu.

Yang Lu took the car keys and asked, "Then what should you do?"

"There's a car waiting for me outside!" Jiang Yuan laughed.

The two were exchanging greetings when the door of the building opened again. Zhang Xinhua and a woman of similar age came out. When the woman saw Jiang Yuan, her eyes lit up and she said hello, "Major Jiang, hello."

"Oh, you are..." Jiang Yuan hesitated.

"I'm Ma Yuling, who teaches Chinese in the middle school in the village. I met you at the school committee meeting." Ma Yuling explained.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Mr. Ma, hello."

"Xiao Yang is here too!" Zhang Xinhua pretended to be affectionate.

"Brother Yang, this is...?" Seeing that the other party was familiar with Yang Lu, Jiang Yuan's attitude changed.

"This is my neighbor, Big Brother Zhang who works in the Education Bureau." After Yang Lu introduced them, he greeted Ma Yuling: "Hi sister-in-law, where are you going?"

"Oh, I was in a hurry to go home last night, so why don't I rush to take the bus." Ma Yuling smiled.

"Go back to Fengying Township?" Jiang Yuan said, "I have a car waiting outside, let's go together?"

"That's good!" Ma Yuling was not polite, took the bag from her husband, and said with a smile: "Then I will rub the car with the mayor once!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed.

"Brother Yang, then I'll leave first. You can park the car outside your house. I'll drive back when you don't need it." Jiang Yuan told Yang Lu.

With other people around, Yang Lu was not polite: "Okay, you can go."

Jiang Yuan and Ma Yuling left hand in hand. Zhang Xinhua saw that Yang Lu was being escorted home by a police car, and when he was going out, Zhang Xinhua was naturally appraising Yang Lu again.

Yang Lu has seen people like this a lot, so he doesn't need to think too much, and then he smiled and said to Zhang Xinhua: "Brother Zhang, I have to go back to my hometown, let's go first!"

"You're busy, you're busy!" Zhang Xinhua smiled and waved his hands. It wasn't until Yang Lu's car drove out of the family courtyard that he thoughtfully returned home.
