Zheng Jiefu burst into tears again. Things are different and people are separated from each other. The tree wants to be still and the wind does not stop, but the son wants to support his family. So what if he is a ministerial-level official. He has power and resources, but he cannot take care of his biological mother. He is sad and blames himself.
Frustration and pain tortured him in turn, and the key he stretched out could not fit into the keyhole.
Suddenly the door opened, and a tall young man stood at the door looking at him. Zheng Jeff mistakenly thought that he had gone to the wrong door. Just when he was about to apologize, the man turned sideways and said: "Director Zheng is here."
Zheng Jiefu was stunned and looked inside the house. The furniture was so familiar, it was his mother's residence. Sitting on the white cloth sofa and talking eloquently was his mother, Mrs. Pan!
The house was full of people, most of whom I didn't know. The only familiar one was Song Jianfeng. He also saw Zheng Jeff, who was standing up and walking over.
Zheng Jeff immediately understood that the news of his mother's death was a misunderstanding.
Song Jianfeng stepped forward quickly and explained the whole story in a few words. Zheng Jiefu suddenly understood and immediately regained the dignity and reserve of a superior. He shook hands with the guests from Omi one by one and expressed his gratitude. He walked up to the present person and called out "Mother Pan".
The wife nodded slightly and continued to talk about the past with Liu Xiaoyong who was sitting next to her.
Several more people came in outside the door, all of whom were staff members around Zheng Jeff. It was impossible for a leader of this level to act alone. Just now they just wanted the leader to be quiet and followed him from a distance.
Zheng Jeff said: "You are here just in time, help me arrange the dinner, the standards must be high..."
"I won't go to the restaurant, I will eat at home." Old Mrs. Pan said.
Zheng Jeff immediately said: "Forget it, just arrange hotel accommodation. You go buy some food and I will cook it myself."
The staff around the leader were very discerning. They immediately counted the number of people in the room, called to arrange five-star hotel rooms, and found a few cars to provide transportation convenience. It was a bit troublesome to buy groceries. We had to go to the nearest airport.
I buy pollution-free green vegetables and safe meat from large supermarkets. Of course, the leadership cooking is just like the leadership planting trees. It is just a symbolic gesture. The actual dishes for the table can be delivered directly from the hotel.
Zheng Jeff accompanied the "guests from his hometown" to talk. In front of the big boss, the sharp-tongued Wang Yulan stammered and couldn't form a sentence. Instead, Liu Handong had clear logic and narrated an introduction, how to meet, how to take in, how to identify, how to send back
, what he said was clear and logical, Zheng Jiefu nodded frequently after listening, and finally said: "The old man named Nie must be found, thank him properly, and ask the judicial authorities to intervene to find out whether his son has been unjustly convicted. Of course, we cannot act too hastily, nor can we
To interfere with the judiciary, follow the procedures step by step."
Song Jianfeng answered: "I'll make arrangements right away."
Zheng Jeff asked about the workplaces of Wang Yulan and Ma Ling, encouraged Comrade Xiao Ma to serve the people more, shook hands with Shen Hongyi, nodded and said nothing, but this was enough for Shen Hongyi, and finally Zheng Jeff cordially expressed condolences to Liu
Regarding the health condition of the old man Xiaoyong, he said that he was really sorry to accompany him to Beijing at such an old age.
Everyone's expressions were a little weird, thinking that this is your stepfather.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyong would not take the initiative to mention this, nor would the old lady, let alone others.
The staff bought vegetables, meat, eggs, scallions, ginger, garlic, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, Zheng Jeff rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. There were so many discerning people present, how could they let the big boss cook for them, but this time Zheng Jeff was determined. I wanted to honor my mother, so I had no choice but to let the staff cut the potatoes into shreds, heat the pot and add oil, and the leader took a spatula and fried it twice casually until it was done.
There were too many guests, and the dining table at home was not full, and there were not enough chairs. I borrowed two stools from a neighbor's house before I could sit down. The staff carefully prepared a bottle of red wine. When Song Jianfeng saw it, he hurriedly stopped him: "Director Zheng doesn't drink. ."
"I want to drink today, so it's okay to break the rules." Zheng Jeff said, although most of the people here are unfamiliar, but they are not officials and subordinates, just ordinary people, which makes him feel like having a reunion dinner at home, Liu Xiaoyong is the grandfather, Wang Yulan is his wife, Liu Handong and Ma Ling are his son and wife, Shen Hongyi is another son, and Song Jianfeng is an old friend who comes to visit. The only shortcoming is that there are no children around him.
Zheng Jeff was approachable, and everyone gradually changed from being reserved to being more relaxed. He chatted about daily life with the senior leaders. When the conversation was getting heated, a staff member came in and interrupted, whispering a few words to the leader. Zheng Jeff stood up and said: "I'm sorry, Prime Minister." I have to go when I’m summoned. You guys chat first, Lao Song, you can entertain me. I’ll entertain you another day.”
After speaking, he shook hands with everyone one by one, and finally said loudly to Mrs. Pan: "Mom, let's move home tomorrow."
The old lady pretended to be deaf and dumb and indifferent.
Zheng Jeff smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly: "Everyone, sit down and continue eating. Goodbye."
After he left, Song Jianfeng stayed and accompanied everyone to finish the meal before leaving with Shen Hongyi. Liu Handong and the others were taken to the hotel to rest by the staff. Two nannies were stationed at the old lady's house to serve them 24 hours a day, and the community security guards also took care of them. After receiving the order, pay attention to the whereabouts of the old lady and never get lost again.
…
It was already one o'clock in the night when Zheng Jiefu returned home from Zhongnanhai. His wife had not rested yet, so she took a bath casually. Lao Zheng lay on the bed and talked about his mother. He asked his wife to visit him often so as not to make the old man too lonely. .
"It's not that I don't want to go there. The old lady has never wanted to see me. My going will only increase the unhappiness. The two children are both abroad and have careers and studies. They can't delay their futures just to fulfill their filial piety. Besides, it's not like we won't let her Come live here, but she just likes to live in that old community, what can I do?" The wife was already full of resentment. After Balabala finished speaking, she found that her husband had fallen asleep. He was too tired and hadn't slept for more than ten hours. The sixty-year-old man again couldn't resist anymore.
Liu Handong and the others stayed at the Beijing Hotel, which was very close to Tiananmen Square. The hardware and software were all top-notch. Wang Yulan was able to eat some foreign food this time. She called home to show off to Ma Guoqing, thinking that she would visit the great capital tomorrow, and even more I was too excited to toss and turn and couldn't sleep, so I delayed watching the flag-raising program the next morning.
Shen Hongyi was busy with work and chatted with his old superior for several hours before taking an evening flight back to Omi. Song Jianfeng arranged for people to warmly entertain Liu Handong and others, and found a professional tour guide, a station wagon, and a staff member to accompany them throughout the journey. A wheelchair was even prepared for Liu Xiaoyong.
The first stop of the tour was Tiananmen Square. You have to go through security check to enter the square, which is stricter than entering the airport. You have to take a sip of drinks before you are allowed to bring them in. Wang Yulan exclaimed: "The first time I came here was when I was on my honeymoon with Lao Ma.
Now, more than 20 years have passed, and things have changed a lot."
There is a long line of people visiting the memorial hall in the distance. Wang Yulan wants to see it, but no one is interested. The tour guide also said that it would take too much time to see it, and it is too far away to see anything clearly, so it is better to go to the city gate building.
Go up there and have a look and experience what it's like to be a national leader.
I spent the whole morning playing in the square and on the Tiananmen Gate. At noon, I ate roast duck in Quanjude, a restaurant near the square. I was about to go to the Forbidden City for the second half. Suddenly, Liu Handong's cell phone rang. It was a call from a Beijing landline. When I answered it, it was unexpectedly...
It's Mrs. Pan calling.
"Grandson, come and save me." After saying this, the old lady put down the phone.
Liu Handong hurriedly called back, and the nanny picked him up. He said everything was fine and that he was treating the old lady. If he asked for more details, he hesitated and refused to answer.
"Who hit him?" Wang Yulan asked.
Liu Handong told everyone the content of the phone call, and Liu Xiaoyong made a decision immediately: "I'm not going to play anymore, I'm going to see Lao Pan."
The group of people drove to the family home. The traffic jam in Beijing was severe. Fortunately, the driver was very skilled and the distance was not far away. He quickly arrived at the place. When they entered the gate, a white ambulance came out with the siren on. Everyone did not pay attention and rushed.
When they arrived at the old lady's house and knocked on the door, the nanny looked at them in shock: "Who are you looking for?"
"Where's the old lady!" Liu Handong asked.
"The ambulance took it away."
"Chase!" Everyone turned back to chase, but the ambulance had already disappeared without a trace.
Liu Handong said: "The ambulance just now had the logo of the 305 hospital on it, so go there!"
We rushed all the way to the 305 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, which is a small hospital that specifically serves central leaders and retired military cadres. The place is not big, and we quickly found the whereabouts of Mrs. Pan because she was making a scene in the examination room.
Everyone gathered around to help the old lady quarrel, saying how you abused the elderly. The medical staff felt aggrieved and said that it was not our business. It was an operation arranged by the family. A micro GPS chip was implanted under the skin. This is high-end technology and has no effect on the human body.
Influenced.
Old Mrs. Pan was furious: "Who gave you the power to conduct espionage against a proletarian revolutionary! I don't agree, I firmly disagree!"
Liu Handong, Ma Ling, Wang Yulan and others looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say. After all, they were outsiders who could not be beaten and could not interfere in other people's internal affairs of the family.
At the critical moment, Liu Xiaoyong spoke: "Sister, are you really unwilling to undergo this operation?"
Mrs. Pan said: "I will definitely not do it."
Liu Xiaoyong asked: "Your son arranged it."
Mrs. Pan said: "I know they are busy and don't have time to take care of me, but I don't have high requirements. Just come once a week and make a few phone calls. My retirement salary is enough, and there is a lot of care and attention from the organization."
, but I just want my family to accompany me, and they hired many nannies for me. Can nannies take the place of relatives?"
As she spoke, the old lady's eyes became red, and the medical staff also let go.
Liu Xiaoyong thought for a moment and said: "Xiaodong, buy a ticket and take your Grandma Pan back to Jiangbei!"
Liu Handong was stunned. What did grandpa mean? Did he openly abduct his wife?
The veteran soldier who had spent half his life in the military was categorical and said exactly what he said. What could a grandson say? He winked at Ma Ling, stood up to the old lady and left.
