Xu Yichuan nodded slightly and suddenly said: "Xiao Tan is a good guard!"
Only then did Chen Yu find out that the guard's surname was Tan, and that he had never introduced him before. Chen Yu did not blame him, because he knew that this was due to the guard's request and that personal information could not be disclosed.
He responded: "Yes."
Xu Yichuan obviously felt better after sleeping for a long time, and said: "He has been following me since I came to Jiangnan Province. It must have been five years. Time flies so fast."
Chen Yu knew that Xu Yichuan was not from this province and was transferred from a northern province to Jiangnan Province. He silently opened the curtains for Xu Yichuan to let more fresh air in.
Xu Yichuan secretly praised his carefulness, and then asked: "Where is Xiao Chen from?"
Chen Yu replied: "I grew up in the capital."
Xu Yichuan said: "That can be regarded as leaving home. It's not a pleasant feeling. If you can take responsibility, it can be seen that Zhou Tongfang values you very much."
Chen Yudao: "Principal Zhou is very good to me."
Xu Yichuan said: "Knowing people is a kind of knowledge. You need to discover the talent's ability, moral character, and his attitude towards you in the future... If you can't do things when you are promoted, then it's not a big problem. If you can do things but the quality is not good, then
That’s what really went wrong.”
With a somewhat lonely look in his eyes, he looked at the fruits and gifts piled up in every corner of the room. He shook his head and said with some self-deprecation, "If you see these, this is the problem."
Chen Yu naturally understood the meaning of his words.
I think Xu Yichuan is a high-ranking official in the border areas. He has held power for so many years. He must have favored and promoted many people. But now when he is seriously ill, not many people come to visit him. This kind of mood is really not something ordinary people can do.
Experienced.
Xu Yichuan saw his thoughtful eyes. He suddenly grinned and said: "Xiao Chen, if you can reach my height one day in the future, or you will have another experience. Of course, I believe your vision will
If you're taller than me, at least you won't be like this."
Normally, it would be impossible for Xu Yichuan to say such words to a young junior. Because according to his status, these words are too frivolous, too casual, and not solemn enough.
But things are different now. After this period of treatment, he has gradually separated his identity as secretary of the provincial party committee from his ailing body. Maybe it was not intentional, but subconsciously he already knew that his official career was over.
There is no possibility of return and progress. So his mentality has been different for a long time, coupled with the stimulation of the warmth and warmth of human relationships. He suddenly saw a lot of things, suddenly unlocked some unlocks in his heart, took off many masks, and gradually
The inner side is revealed.
Yes, time is running out, why bother dressing up so hard anymore?
In the last period of his life, he would rather be free and free and do as he pleased.
Because no one seems to be paying attention to him anymore, at least. In this room now, there are only him and the young man in front of him. And this young man should have a good mouth and a very stable person.
Chen Yu stopped what he was doing and replied seriously: "Secretary Xu, actually I feel that I am not suitable for an official career, so I should not be able to reach your level. But I can understand your mood because I have also experienced it.
I have experienced some extraordinary things and gained some understanding of life and people."
Xu Yichuan's eyes showed surprise. He then heard Chen Yu continue: "Secretary Xu, I personally think that maybe it's not your vision that is wrong. Because just like the weather, people are changing all the time, and the environment can change a person.
Especially the environment of official career.”
Xu Yichuan nodded fiercely and said: "Xiao Chen, I think what you say makes sense, and I like to hear it. Those people I promoted at the beginning are really good! But once people are promoted, it is easy to have other ideas. Yes
Now, my personality is slowly changing. In fact, I am the same way. I couldn’t say these things to others so freely before, but now I can’t say it anymore, right?”
While he was talking, Chen Yu had already washed an apple and a pear for him, and skillfully peeled off the skin with a knife. He put them on a clean plate and sent them to him, saying: "Secretary Xu, eat some fruit."
Xu Yichuan stared at the two fruits and said: "Apples and pears, one is sour on the outside and sweet on the inside, and the other is sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. Which one do you like to eat?"
Of course Chen Yu knew that he was making excuses, and his words did not necessarily correspond to the actual situation. After thinking about it, he replied: "I still like apples more, even if they are a little bland, it doesn't matter."
Xu Yichuan said: "If you have a choice, everyone will choose the first one, first bitter and then sweet, first sour and then sweet, getting better and better! But as you go along, you will find that there is still a gap between facts and ideas."
Chen Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Secretary, this is a problem that everyone will face. There is a similar emotion in Robles' latest work "The Apple Story"."
Xu Yichuan said: "It turns out there are still people who feel the same as me."
At this time, there were several knocks on the door.
Then guard Tan's figure emerged from the crack in the door, holding a small plastic bowl in his hand, and the porridge inside could be vaguely seen through the transparent lid.
He was a little surprised to see Xu Yichuan and Chen Yu chatting casually, and said in a respectful tone: "Secretary Xu, this is your favorite Aunt Fatty's Pork Liver Porridge."
Xu Yichuan asked: "That place is several kilometers away from here. Did you run there specifically?"
Guard Tan said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll drive there quickly."
Xu Yichuan's eyes were filled with relief and he said: "Xiao Tan, you are interested. It's good. You must eat more good food while you can still move."
Guard Tan said: "Secretary, just ask for whatever you want to eat and I will get it for you."
After speaking, he unpacked the porridge water and carefully handed it to Xu Yichuan, saying: "The temperature should be just right now."
Xu Yichuan nodded, then stood up and gently scooped up the fragrant pork liver porridge with a small spoon. While eating, he said: "After eating so much pork liver porridge, this one at Changxing Road is the most delicious.
.”
Guard Tan smiled and said: "Yes, Aunt Fatty's business has been much better since you fell in love with this taste. There were many people queuing up when I went to buy it, but as soon as she saw me, she packed one for me to take away.
That’s why I rushed back so quickly.”
Xu Yichuan said: "It's rare that she still remembers me."
Guard Tan quickly said: "Secretary Xu, you have done so many good things and helped so many people. I am sure many people will remember you."
Xu Yichuan drank a few more mouthfuls of porridge, shook his head and said, "Xiao Tan, you have learned to say things that go against your will. It's not good."
Guard Tan said anxiously: "Secretary, everything I say is sincere... You, you have to believe it!"
Xu Yichuan continued: "The first sentence is okay, but the last sentence is not very true."
Only then did Guard Tan understand what he meant, but he still defended: "Secretary Xu, some people have forgotten their roots, but many people don't know how to do it - I can't!"
Xu Yichuan said: "Xiao Tan, I know you don't know how. Thank you for staying with me for so many years. In the future, I will recommend a good place for you - how about the Provincial Public Security Department?"
Xu Yichuan sincerely considered him, because according to Guard Tan's age, it was unlikely that the organization would let him do security work, so the best place to go would be a similar local public security department.
Guard Tan said solemnly: "Secretary, your health is still fine. It's too early to think about this now. When you get better and retire and no longer need me, I will go wherever you arrange for me to go!"
Xu Yichuan smiled bitterly and said: "You also said that what you said was true... If I could get better, I would be fine in the Provincial People's Hospital. Why bother to transfer here? I understand the thoughts of these hospital leaders and professors.
, I understand what you are saying, and you all hope that I can be more open-minded. But the reality is that it is what it is. If God wants a person to leave alone, there is no way he can keep him."
Guard Tan did not dare to defend himself this time. He suddenly lowered his head, the corners of his eyes turned red, and whispered: "Secretary, I'll get you some more water."
After saying that, he picked up the half-full thermos bottle and walked out quickly, so hurriedly that he even forgot to leave the door ajar. (To be continued...)
