More than three months after () was appointed by the Provincial Party Committee as Secretary of the Xin'an Municipal Party Committee, that is, on the morning of September 2nd.
Beijing, Feng family villa, living room.
On a simple mahogany incense table, there are the memorial tablets of the Feng family's ancestors. Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng, dressed in formal attire, looked solemn and sat on the Taishi chairs on both sides of the incense table.
Dozens of sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters and some relatives of the Feng family, old and young, entered both sides of the queue. Feng Botao, the eldest son of the Feng family, stood there with a serious expression, waved his hand and said loudly: "Yuanzheng, today you
Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, change your surname to Feng, come to pay homage to your ancestors, offer incense and kowtow to your ancestors."
Feng Yuanzheng walked over slowly, first offered a stick of incense, and then bowed down.
While he was bowing his head, he glanced at the solemn faces of Mr. Feng, Mrs. Feng and everyone in the Feng family out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was filled with emotions.
Behind him, Feng Qianru and her two children also knelt down and worshiped.
The two children who have already entered kindergarten are in the naughty stage, but now in this serious environment, they are still obediently and obediently worshiping their ancestors together with their mother Feng Qianru.
Feng Yuanzheng fell to the ground. The past flashed through his mind, remembering his father who died young, the hardships of mother and son relying on each other in childhood and adolescence, and the rough journey of gradually growing from a desk clerk to a prince while working hard in Xin'an.
, it’s hard to control yourself with the ups and downs of your thoughts.
"It's done." Feng Botao's voice reached his ears, and Feng Yuanzheng stood up slowly. With a complex expression, he followed Mr. and Mrs. Feng and all the elders to the restaurant. At noon today, the whole family was going to hold a family banquet to honor his ancestors.
Zong celebrates.
..."Today is a day of great joy, and I am very happy. Yuanzheng recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, and officially became a member of our Feng family. I have only one sentence for Yuanzheng: Keep working hard, self-denial and self-cultivation, and in the future, I will be a hundred years from now
, I still need you to support the Feng family. This is your responsibility, a responsibility you can never shirk!"
When he began to speak, Mr. Feng had a gentle smile on his face, but when he said this, his smile gradually faded and his expression became very serious. He stared at Peng Yuanzheng with majestic eyes.
Feng Yuanzheng composed himself, stood up and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will always keep in mind grandpa's teachings and instructions, self-reflection, self-reflection, self-motivation, and shoulder my own responsibilities."
"Okay. You are now the secretary of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city. What you are today is the result of your hard work. As a member of the Feng family, you must be more cautious and do more practical things when you serve as an official below.
Stop talking empty words, don't smear the family, and don't let people say that my grandson, Old Man Feng, is not a great person!"
"In ten years, you have reached the position of leader of the municipal party committee. Grandpa hopes that in another ten years, you will be able to move to a provincial leadership position, and even go further! Grandpa will wait and see!"
"Okay, I propose that we have a thousand cups for the expedition to recognize our ancestors!"
Mr. Feng raised his glass and everyone in the Feng family joined in and raised their glasses together.
After that, Mr. Feng cast his eyes on Meng Lin again, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again.
"I want to say a few more words. What I want to say today must be said in front of the whole family." Mr. Feng sighed, "My father left early for the expedition. This is what your mother and I feel most regretful and regretful."
Sad thing... We should be grateful to Meng Lin, who worked hard to raise Yuan Zhengcheng in the past difficult years and cultivated a very outstanding child!"
"Meng Lin is a hero of the Feng family. Bo Tao, on behalf of the whole family, I would like to offer you a glass of wine to Meng Lin." Mr. Feng waved his hand and ordered.
Feng Botao stood up as he was told, holding the wine glass, "Brothers and sisters, on behalf of the whole family, I propose a toast to you. Thank you for supporting our family during the expedition!"
Meng Lin blushed and hurriedly stood up and said politely: "Brother, don't say that, this is what I should do. The expedition to this day is entirely due to my family training. I actually didn't do anything..."
"Brother and sister, I know you don't drink, but you must drink this glass of wine today! This is a wedding wine!" Feng Botaofu entered and Song Yuzhen persuaded with a smile.
Feng Qianru obediently stood up and walked to Peng Yuanzheng and said softly: "Mom, you drank this glass of wine, this is what the whole family wants!"
Meng Lin hesitated for a moment, but still drank the glass of wine with a blushing face. The wind blew, making him feel weak and tired all over his body. This is what is called sleepiness in spring and autumn.
As he was walking, Feng Yuanzheng's cell phone rang. He thought about it and picked it up.
"Who? I'm Feng Yuanzheng!"
"Secretary Feng, I am Lao Guo. Later, James, the president of DSA Company in the United States, and his party have decided to come to the city for inspection in two days. Mayor Zheng asked me to ask the leadership, can you attend to meet with American merchants?
See you?" Gu Kaiming's clear voice came from the phone.
"Are they sure they are here? Well, I will rush back tomorrow." Feng Yuanzheng smiled, "These American investors are our God of Wealth, and they are related to the overall situation of how many Fortune 500 companies we can introduce in the future. But
I can't neglect to come home, I have to go back to receive them!"
"Okay, Secretary Feng, you are busy first, I will ask the city government office to arrange the reception." Gu Kaiming finished reporting the work and asked for instructions, then hung up the phone.
Meng Lin stood aside and smiled slightly: "Son, you have only been back for a few days, and you have to rush back again?"
"Mom, there's nothing I can do. There are too many things going on. The Americans who came here this time are the bosses of a very powerful multinational company. Our city wants to discuss cooperation with them on a major project, which will affect the city in the next few years.
The development of…”
"Okay, okay, don't explain this to mom, she won't understand either. You are busy with your business, let Qianru stay for a while, the two children will not be able to leave mom." Meng Lin interrupted with a smile.
Feng Yuanzheng’s words.
"Yes. Qianru stays here for a few more days. I'll go back first."
Feng Yuanzheng said that he was about to turn around and go back to pack his bags, but his mother Meng Lin, who was standing behind him, said softly and meaningfully: "Son, I'm going to Singapore in a couple of days..."
Peng Yuanzheng's steps stagnated, and he was about to turn around and say something when he saw two children running happily along the path. A smile appeared on his face, and he greeted one on each side, holding the two children in his arms.
, and turned around several times.
"Lan Cheng, Lan Shu, how long would you like to stay with dad in Xin'an? Dad will take you to climb Phoenix Mountain. There are newly introduced giant pandas in the mountain zoo."
The girl Lan Shu clapped her hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, dad, I want to see giant pandas!"
The boy Lan Cheng curled his lips disdainfully: "What's so good about giant pandas? Big tigers are just about the same!"
Feng Yuanzheng laughed, and Feng Qianru, who came with the two children, couldn't help laughing.
