The Qiu family's mansion is located in the No. 3 courtyard of the Genjiao Economic Committee of the Imperial City. Like other veteran cadres, the Qiu family's grandfather also loved this square and round courtyard.
The square shape is due to its shape, and the reunion is due to the layout of this courtyard, which originally inherited the fundamental layout of family reunions and being surrounded by children and grandchildren.
The important thing is to be lively!
As the elderly get older, they are more afraid of being alone. Therefore, the courtyard that carries this burden is particularly popular among the veteran cadres.
Since it is the residence of a top boss, even an ordinary courtyard has something extraordinary about it.
Indeed, although the layout of this Economic Commission compound is simple and the building materials are ordinary, it has been carefully crafted by national-level architects. Even the simple construction shows elegance and style.
In the courtyard of the Qiu family, instead of using various strange stones to build complicated rockeries, simple yellow pear trees were used to build various arch bridges over the water surrounding the house.
There are no gorgeous pavilions, but there are scattered pavilions and pavilions. If you want to summarize the characteristics of the Qiu family mansion, I am afraid that the quiet winding water surrounding the house, the elegant pear wood bridge, and the primitive carved canopy pavilion are not enough to be representative.
The biggest feature is the lush green trees, which are almost like a forest. Yes, it is this green!
This is still a house, if you don't look carefully, it must be a garden or woods.
Looking around, everything is green. Except for the middle aisle, which is very eye-catching, most of the rest of the paths and paths are occupied by this possessive green.
Let's put it this way, except for the houses, corridors, meandering water, pavilions, and small bridges, there are no flowers or plants planted. The rest of the open space is planted with all kinds of green trees, yellow flowers, white peony roots, and red maples. Count them carefully.
, it was more than enough to open a vegetation exhibition hall here.
After taking the special passage, Qiu Yuejin's return journey was extremely fast. He traveled more than 2,000 miles and took an express train, and it took more than ten hours to arrive.
He arrived home at about five o'clock in the morning, slept for a few hours, then put on his clothes and got up.
To be honest, he really hasn't been back to his home in the capital that many times. Except for the necessary reunions every year during the Spring Festival, he almost never sets foot there again.
First, he cannot bear the constraints of his family.
When he was studying abroad or serving as an official, he was treated as a guest of honor wherever he went, relying on his status as a member of the Qiu family.
This developed his habit of loving luxury and admiring enjoyment, and when he returned home, the old-school style of the Qiu family made him extremely uncomfortable.
Not to mention the hard bed he slept on last night, which made his back hurt. The simple Hanamaki fried dough sticks and steamed buns with soy milk in the morning made his neck stiffen.
What Mr. Qiu is very particular about is that he is not tired of it, but he really can't stand this.
After eating a terrible breakfast and respectfully greeting the elders in each room, he scurried away as if he had been granted amnesty.
After returning to the room, I took a pot of Biluochun and sat down in the Yichun Pavilion in the north, which has the highest terrain and can enjoy the scenery of the whole hospital.
In the meantime, birds are flying and swallows are crouching. Looking around, there are trees among flowers and no roof tiles. It feels like the whole person has returned to nature.
When the pot of tea was about to reach its bottom, there was movement from the direction of the door. After waiting for another three to five minutes, a clear male voice was heard shouting, "Yuejin, Yuejin, where are you?"
Just by hearing the voice, Qiu Yuejin knew that the person coming was his second uncle's secret brother Ge Guang, and he immediately responded from a distance.
Sure enough, not long after, a tall, middle-aged man in his thirties came hurriedly on the path in front of the pavilion. It was Ge Guang, the chief secret officer of Qiu Yuejin's second uncle, Qiu Pengju.
Ge Guang hurried forward, and when he came up, he took Qiu Yuejin's arm and said, "Let's go, Yuejin, you make it easy for me to find you. The chief is waiting for you at Xiaoxia Pavilion. There is half a cup of tea."
Qiu Yuejin slapped Ge Guang's big hand away and said with a smile: "Secretary Ge, are you too bureaucratic to say this? My second uncle has been waiting for me for almost half a cup of tea, but my second uncle and I have almost finished a pot of tea."
, why does it become my fault? Besides, he is looking for me, not me looking for him. Why, if he doesn’t come on his own, he is so good at showing off!"
Ge Guang said anxiously: "My eldest young master, please stop showing off now. Let me tell you clearly. Director Qiu is in a bad mood today. You kid, please pay attention. Isn't it just for you?"
It makes you angry because of the bad things."
Qiu Yuejin lost his father in his early years and was brought up by his second uncle, Director Qiu as Ge Guang calls him, since he was a child.
Qiu Pengju was traveling abroad in his early years, so Qiu Yuejin became a dragster and followed Qiu Pengju around the country, just like the little guy nowadays.
And this Ge Guang has been Qiu Pengju's secretary since he was in office in the county. For more than ten years, he has been accompanying Qiu Pengju with horses and carriages, and has always been close to him.
Therefore, the relationship between Ge Guang and Qiu Yuejin is also very close, and they talk and laugh without restraint.
"What do you mean? Isn't it normal for him to be in a bad mood? With so many worrying things in the Economic Commission, it would be abnormal for him, Director Qiu, to be in a good mood. Besides, there are some people who are worried about the country and the people who are in a good mood.
? In addition, you said that Director Qiu was unhappy because of my affairs. I don’t understand, what on earth does he have to worry about? I can handle everything, right?
Director Ge, please stop putting your hat on my head."
Qiu Yuejin's face was serious.
"Okay, okay, save you. You kid is slipping away. It's a good thing you didn't grow up in the capital. You can just bite him. Come on, I don't care about your business."
With that said, Ge Guang turned around and left.
Qiu Yuejin curled his lips and said: "Hey, you old Ge, from the local to the central government, your official position has not been promoted, but your temper has been rising. I'm just talking. Why are you in a hurry? I won't go or go."
He just followed Ge Guang's trick.
The Xiaoxia Pavilion has an octagonal pavilion and covers an area of more than ten square meters. There is a round table and four stone benches in it. At first glance, there is nothing outstanding about it. But if you take a closer look, you will find that the stone tables and benches are all
Extraordinary, the patterns on it are all exquisite and unusual, with birds and animals, soaring dragons and phoenixes, each in their own postures, vivid and lifelike.
What's even better is that the four pavilions in the Qiu Family Courtyard are all named after spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is precisely the scenery of the four seasons that is different, and each pavilion can respond to it. It is really endless fun!
This summer pavilion is surrounded by ancient trees and is lush and green. It rarely sees sunlight all year round. It is really a good place to spend the summer and escape the heat.
Of course, it is autumn now, and it is very cold here, which is not suitable for leisure gatherings. However, surrounded by big trees, the privacy here is the best, and it is most suitable for private chats.
When Qiu Yuejin arrived, Qiu Pengju was sitting upright on the main seat. He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but extraordinary bearing. He was neatly groomed. He was in his fifties, the same age as most people in the Republic.
Like a high-ranking official, when his energy and abilities reach their peak, the narrow corners of his eyes occasionally shine, revealing his sharp edge.
Qiu Yuejin said from afar: "Second uncle, you are so mean. I came home yesterday, and grandpa was not here, and neither were you. Why did you call me back all the way, just to sing this empty city plan to me?"
Qiu Yuejin and Qiu Pengju grew up together since childhood. They were called uncles and nephews, but they were like father and son.
Qiu Yuejin was not as afraid of Qiu Pengju as he was of the Qiu family. He spoke and acted freely.
Qiu Pengju didn't answer, he just picked up the tea and drank it carefully. When Qiu Yue entered the pavilion and sat down, he slowly spoke, "Yuejin, tell me, why are you going against the third son of the Xue family?
"
Qiu Yuejin's eyebrows jumped, his face quickly regained his composure, and he said with a smile: "Second uncle, why can't I understand what you are saying? What do you mean that I am going against him? It is obvious that he is going against me. Please tell me.
Tokue Mata
It was not run by his Xue family, so how come he was allowed to be the King of Shuxiang, but I was not allowed to run the thermal power plant? You don’t know that he, Xue Laosan, is domineering in Dejiang and has no leader. He is simply a local soil.
Overlord."
Qiu Pengju put down his tea cup and said coldly, "He is the real local bully. It's your turn to fight against injustice, Comrade Qiu Yuejin? Don't think that the superiors are all blind. In just one and a half years, Dejiang became the eldest tyrant in Shu."
The Administrative Office has successfully entered the ranks of stimulating the economy of central Sichuan. Who deserves the credit? Is it Zhou Daoqian, Kong Fangao, Huang Siwen, or you, Qiu Yuejin? Tell me!"
Just as Qiu Yuejin was about to open his mouth, Qiu Pengju waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't talk about the credit of collective leadership. Without the drastic reforms made by the third son of the Xue family, Dejiang would be what it is today? No one who wants to do big things will follow the rules and stick to the rules.
Yes, Yuejin, you can’t tell the truth to me?”
Qiu Yuejin felt bitter in his heart. With the second uncle who knew him best, he really couldn't do any tricks, but how could he let the secret hidden in the coldest and darkest corner of his heart be revealed?
He gritted his teeth and said: "Second Uncle, it's not that I have a problem with him, Xue Laosan, but that I have to build this thermal power plant. Besides, I am uprightly attracting investment and boosting Dejiang's economy. Which one of the king's laws have I violated?"
, why does he, Xue Laosan, want to obstruct it?"
Qiu Pengju stared at Qiu Yuejin for a long time and sighed: "You still don't want to say it! Come on, I won't force you anymore. In fact, you know best what the reason is. I noticed it from the moment you left Yunjin
The taste is coming! No
No matter how good you are, if you don't compete with a real tiger, you will never succeed. If you want to do it, do it vigorously. We, the old Qiu family, have always believed that as long as you don't do it, you will succeed no matter who your opponent is.
They must all be defeated and conquered.”
"Second uncle!" Qiu Yuejin called out emotionally. Unexpectedly, he received Qiu Pengju's unreserved support.
He reached out to grab Qiu Peng's big hand, but when it reached mid-air, it fell down again.
He is already an adult, and it is difficult for him to express his innermost feelings directly.
Qiu Pengju looked at him lovingly and patted his shoulder: "Yuejin, do you know Xue Laosan who is facing you now?"
Qiu Yuejin knew that this was Qiu Pengju's question, and he wanted to help him find out and fill in the gaps.
