4. Xie Yongdong received a phone call from Mayor Wang yesterday morning. He knew that his brother had returned to Anchuan City that evening. He had been waiting all morning, but there was still no news from him. It was not until 5:30 in the afternoon that he finally called his mobile phone.
I hope my brother will take advantage of this opportunity to come to Anchuan and the two brothers will make an appointment to go back to Suqi County to visit their old mother.
Many years ago, when Xie Yongdong was studying at university in Shanghai, Xie Yongxia once brought his mother to live with him and Yang Lei in the provincial capital. However, as time went by, the relationship between his usually nagging mother and his wife Yang Lei slowly grew.
Soon, some barriers arose, which put Xie Yongxia in a dilemma. He had no choice but to send his mother away again.
I returned to my hometown in Suqi County. A few years later, my younger brother Xie Yongdong graduated and was assigned to work in Anchuan City. The only mother left at home was a lonely mother and a nanny hired from the countryside. For this matter,
Xie Yongxia blamed and complained about Yang Lei many times, and Yang Lei shed tears every time to express her grievances.
**The day after the evaluation meeting, Xie Yongxia, who was finally freed from his busy schedule, was in a particularly relaxed mood. He got up early in the morning, looked at the time and it was about seven o'clock in the morning, and calculated that he was leaving as planned by his younger brother.
It was still early, so I took advantage of my mood, opened the indoor door leading to the balcony, and walked out. By this time, the heavy snowfall the day before yesterday had already stopped.
The thick snow began to melt gradually, and a thin layer of mist floated on the Yuqing River, shrouding the whole city in haze, looking like a mysterious sleeping beauty. Xie Yongxia admired this aspect of his hometown very much.
The scenery, because this itself is a splash-ink landscape painting drawn by a masterful hand, magically using natural colors to vividly express the moisture and vitality.
It is really a quiet and natural morning song, Xie Yongxia sighed in his heart.
"Ding dong! Ding dong!" The doorbell of the room rang. When Xie Yongxia looked at the time, he guessed that his younger brother had arrived on time, so he quickly walked into the room from the balcony, opened the door and saw a middle-aged man standing outside.
, a handsome middle-aged man. At first glance, he looks a bit like Xie Yongxia when he was young. He is Yaskawa.
Xie Yongdong, General Manager of Urban Construction Co., Ltd. Xie Yongxia knew that his younger brother was already forty-two years old this year, only six years younger than himself. For some reason, his face always looked like that of a young man, with rosy skin and thick eyebrows.
The pair of piercing eyes underneath make him look like he is in his thirties at most.
"Brother!" Xie Yongdong, who was smiling, was busy greeting him as soon as he saw him.
Xie Yongxia had not seen his brother for almost two years, and he was very happy. He waved to his brother and said: "Come in, sit down, sit down, wait for me for a while, I will pack some things and leave." Xie Yongdong followed.
In Xie Yongxia’s
Later, he walked into the house and put the coat on the sofa in the living room. After sitting down, he looked around the suite where Xie Yongxia lived, and said to Xie Yongxia: "Brother, the place you live in is really nice. After one night
Gotta get rid of two
More than a thousand yuan, which is more generous than me, the boss of a state-owned holding company with hundreds of millions of assets. Alas, in today's society, no wonder there are so many people who want to get in. They say that it is good to be an official, if you can
A high official is better! When I saw him today, it seems to be true." Xie Yongxia, who was packing some things in the bedroom, heard these sour words from his younger brother, and felt angry and funny in his heart. He stood in the bedroom and said to his younger brother in the living room.
Said: "Old Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote
There is a good book called "Fortress Besieged" that says it very well. People outside want to get in, but people inside want to rush out. You only know that business people envy those who are officials, but you don't know that those officials also envy you for doing business.
"Don't just look at the surface. My living in this room can only be considered as a professional expense. It's not like you don't know how much money I have in my pocket." "Ha!" Xie Yongdong made this sound softly with his nose. He said to his brother
He didn’t take it seriously: “Hey! It’s true.
It’s because you don’t know how lucky you are when you are in the midst of blessings! Look at those businessmen whose legs are swollen just to make some money. Those who are officials shake their heads and think, cough! The money is here. I’ve only seen people starve to death.
I am a poor man, but I have never seen an official who died of poverty." "You
This is a roundabout way of mobilizing me to engage in corruption, isn’t it! Yongdong, don’t you know who your brother is and what he is capable of doing?” At this time, Xie Yongxia walked out of the bedroom, carrying a bag of things and handed it to him.
Xie Yongdong.
"Take it, this is what I bribed Mom for today! Just wait here, I have some things to do." After saying that, Xie Yongxia walked out of the room and went to Liu Dongsheng. Chai Yun explained the follow-up cleaning work.
.
About ten minutes later, Xie Yongxia shouted outside the door, and the two brothers went downstairs from the elevator and came to the lobby. Xie Yongxia stood at the door. Xie Yongdong drove a new black Honda from the hotel parking lot and said hello.
My brother was sitting in the driver's seat, and they crossed a side street and drove on Endeavor Avenue, the spacious, straight main street in the city center.
While driving, Xie Yongdong introduced to his brother the Anchuan Song and Dance Theatre, gymnasium, youth activity center, and other hotels, restaurants and residential areas constructed by urban construction companies in the past two years. He also told Xie Yongxia that in the past two years, Anchuan City’s
The urban area expanded from 24 square kilometers to 36 square kilometers, a full 12 square kilometers. While talking, my brother started talking about Mayor Wang Jiaquan, praising him for his courage and reform consciousness.
While listening, Xie Yongxia looked around at the rows of high-rise buildings and a large new residential area with beautiful environment along the way. He couldn't help but nod his head and secretly praised the new changes here. He thought: Seeing is believing. If you don't go out for a walk,
I really don’t know the situation at the grassroots level.
The Honda car drew a beautiful arc at the corner not far from the end of Endeavor Avenue, and then ran onto the high-grade highway from Anchuan City to Suqi County. At this time, the scenery on both sides of the road changed, showing
The natural pastoral scenery is full of green peaks and lush trees. It is really: green and beautiful, with springs and waterfalls that are refreshing and pleasant.
Seeing Xie Yongxia's curious look, Xie Yongdong said to him proudly: "Brother! Do you know that this is the No. 1 image project of Suqi County, called the Green Ecological Corridor? Mayor Wang just came to our city.
While working, I took advantage of the country’s policy of returning farmland to forest. What do you think?” Xie Yongxia said, “I’ve been here before.
Why didn't you notice this?" "Brother, what you said happened two years ago, and now is the time to see the results." "The more I listen, the more I think you look like a guide sent by Jiaquan.
"Hahaha!" Xie Yongxia and Xie Yongdong quickly arrived at Suqi County, about fifty kilometers away from Anchuan City, amid laughter all the way.
The fifth mother lives in the Emerald Garden in the new district of the county. This is a new home that her brother spent nearly 150,000 yuan on for her mother last year. At the beginning of last year, during the demolition of the old city in Suqi County, in order to secure her mother's residence, Xie Yongxia thought
Spend 80,000 yuan to buy a car for my mother
Buying a second-hand house may sound a bit unreasonable to outsiders. A dignified provincial party committee organization minister and a well-known filial son would buy a second-hand house for his mother. Is it possible? However, everyone who knows him knows that this is already the case.
Xie Yongxia’s best efforts.
To be fair, although Xie Yongxia is very experienced in handling official matters, he will never get involved in those things of cheating, corruption and bribery. He can be regarded as a model of integrity. This is why he has been the organization minister for so many years and has always been the leader.
An important reason why it is very stable.
At this time, Xie Yongdong, who was the general manager of Anchuan Urban Construction Co., Ltd., called his brother and told his brother and sister-in-law to reserve the 80,000 yuan savings for his niece Xiaojia to go to college in the future, and he would be responsible for supporting his mother in Jade City.
All about Garden House Buying
Xie Yongxia was deeply moved by his brother's words. He was very grateful to his brother because he had fulfilled his biggest wish in his life - that is, to make his dying mother live a better life in return for her hard work in life.
of nurturing grace.
Of course, Xie Yongxia was still a little worried about his brother's generosity, and made several inquiries in private. Xie Yongdong's answer was completely logical, saying that the construction company was very profitable, and naturally the company's bosses also made a lot of money. This made Xie Yongxia
I could no longer find any reason to doubt him, so I had to warn my younger brother that once he gets involved in the business world, he should always remember: A gentleman must use his money wisely.
When the Xie Yongxia brothers came home, their mother was leisurely and comfortably sitting alone under the flowers and plants on the balcony reading a book. Compared with her peers, her mother was an educated woman. She was born in a wealthy family in Suqi County.
Family. Her father, the grandfather of the Xie brothers, was a new-school figure at the time. In his early years, he studied at a Christian school in Shanghai.
John University, I was a classmate with Lin Yutang, a master of modern Chinese literature, and worked as an editor and writer for his literary monthly "Universal Wind". After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, my grandfather returned to Suqi County to serve as a teacher in the county middle school. Therefore, my mother has been suffering from the pain since she was a child.
A good education, I studied in a new school, and finally completed the county girls' middle school. After liberation, because of my grandfather
In his early years, he also had contacts with Hu Feng, a master of literary and artistic theory. Later, he was found out and knocked down in the "Hu Feng *** Group" incident. As a result, his father and mother were also kicked out of the school from their glorious posts as people's teachers.
He was reduced to a jobless vagrant in the city. Soon his father completed the last journey of his life in despair.
From then on, their mother used her frail body to support this dangerous family. Poverty tortured them all the time. The Xie brothers spent the most beautiful period of their childhood and adolescence in the eyes of humiliation and contempt since they were young. During this period,
The experience not only tempered their courage in their youth,
The spirit of struggle to face life and the heroic spirit of hating evil also make them have a hidden and close communication channel with the working people living at the bottom and the poorest of society. No matter at any time, such bloody
The connection with meat has never been truly severed.
The sudden return of the Xie brothers really made her mother ecstatic. She pulled the two brothers to the sofa and sat down, looking at Xie Yongxia and Xie Yongdong carefully for a while. The mother probably felt that Xie Yongxia was much older than his brother, so
Stretching out his hand and stroking Xie Yongxia's cheek, he kept murmuring: "You've lost weight, you've lost weight. It seems like your wife didn't take good care of you. Alas, this Yang Lei is not a caregiver at all."
Take good care of others, I have already said..." Then he scolded Yang Lei. If Yang Lei heard her mother's words, it might lead to a verbal war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But for Xie Yongxia, he really felt his mother's care and warmth, and he also felt a deep guilt. He had paid too little attention to his mother over the years.
…
"Mom, please don't talk about her like that." Although Xie Yongxia deeply understood the content behind "Mom's nagging is as beautiful as a song", it was the mother who filled the lyrics with the emotion of love and the notes of care.
He composed music and sang it with a nagging voice. But he also knew very well that his mother's complaints about his wife were, in fact, extremely unfair to Yang Lei. As soon as Xie Yongxia finished speaking, his mother got angry.
"What the hell, is there any rule now that a mother-in-law is not allowed to talk about her daughter-in-law? In the old society..." The mother seemed to firmly disagree that her beloved son was actually standing in the trenches of her daughter-in-law, so she continued to talk more and more.
Further and further away.
"Mom, this is a gift that my brother brought to you. He said that he came here specifically to bribe you." In order to help his brother get out of the current predicament, Xie Yongdong added a funny word and deliberately changed the subject of his mother. When his mother heard this,
There is no such thing as a son bribing his mother in this world, so he laughed happily. When Xie Yongxia heard that, didn't he pick up what he had just said in the morning? He also laughed.
Yesterday, Xie Yongxia bought some food for his mother at the Huitong Supermarket near the hotel, and bought some tonics and medicines at the Jishi Pharmacy next door. However, he told his mother that Yang Lei bought them for her in the provincial capital.
He brings filial piety to the elderly.
The mother doubtfully put on her reading glasses and looked at it carefully for a while, and soon discovered the flaw in Xie Yongxia's words, because these items also had small price tags from supermarkets and pharmacies, and the small tags also printed the names of Huitong Supermarket Yaskawa Store and Jishi Medicine
The words on the Yaskawa store of the industrial chain, so my mother pointed to the words on the small price tag and said to Xie Yongxia.
"You're talking nonsense. You're dozens of years old and you're still trying to fool me. In our family, who cares about me? I don't know that there are only you and Yongdong's daughter-in-law, Meimei, at home.
." "Haha!" Xie Yongdong smiled, feeling a little embarrassed by what his mother said.
As she was talking, my mother thought of having a sumptuous lunch at noon to comfort the two brothers who had not been home to visit her for a long time, so she called the nanny Agui to go to the street to sell some of their favorite vegetables and snacks.
, the little flower buns from Yutang Street, the braised beef from the mosque, Granny Li’s spicy chicken, etc., my mother mentioned a long list of names in one breath.
These famous dishes and snacks from their hometown were what the Xie brothers were most greedy for when they were young. Xie Yongxia still clearly remembers that Xie Yongdong, who was not yet in elementary school at that time, once went to Yutang Street to play, where they sold small flower buns.
After standing there for a whole afternoon, he was so greedy that his dirt-stained thumb turned into a white thumb.
Another time, my mother bought four small flower bags and came back and told Xie Yongdong brothers that they had two each. So she went outside and called Xie Yongxia who was playing in the yard to come back. When Xie Yongxia walked into the house, he found that Xie Yongdong
With lightning speed, he swallowed the four little flower packets into his stomach like wind and clouds. At this time, he was sitting at the table and burping contentedly.
Speaking of these famous local dishes and snacks, Xie Yongxia vividly described how greedy his brother was at that time. Suddenly, the whole living room was filled with the cheerful laughter of his mother and brothers. Several times, his mother was beaten by the two brothers.
The man was so amused that he bent over.
What is different from the famous old man, Wang Jiaquan, is that Xie Yongxia is not only a senior public servant, but also a skilled hand at housework. Of course, this is also related to Yang Lei's career as a high school teacher.
.
Follow in and help.
The two brothers continued chatting while working. At this time, Xie Yongxia found that there were many half-bottles of famous wines left in the kitchen at home, including some foreign wines that Chinese people rarely drink. What was even more surprising was that among them was a bottle of French origin.
Louis XIII, this world-famous top-quality wine, sells for as much as 8,000 to 10,000 yuan on the market. Such a thing would actually appear in his mother's house. To him, it was like seeing an alien. He wanted to
Xie Yongdong asked about the origin of these wines.
"These wines are all collected by the rural nanny and are going to be taken back to the countryside," Xie Yongdong said disapprovingly.
"What I'm asking is where do these wines come from?" Xie Yongxia saw that Xie Yongdong's answer was inappropriate and asked again.
Xie Yongdong suddenly realized at this time and replied: "Mayor Wang left this for dinner at home, and he brought the wine." "Oh, it's Jiaquan, does he come here often?" Xie Yongxia asked back.
Xie Yongdong said: “I come here often, sometimes on holidays, and sometimes I take advantage of the opportunity to go to the county to inspect the work, so I come to my home to greet and take care of me.
