Everyone started laughing again, Qiao Liang felt a little embarrassed, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, what is wrong with this? Don't worry too much about it."
"But, Mom still doesn't want you to go. Life in the northwest is too hard. Mom is your only son, so I can't let you go to such a far place to suffer. Liang Zi, listen to Mom, let's resign from this temporary job and not go.
." Qiao Liang's mother insisted.
Qiao Liang had a headache: "Mom, taking a temporary job is an organizational decision. How can the organization's decision be changed casually? Besides, I am going to be the deputy county chief, not a coolie. Also, our Secretary Liao from Jiangdong is also going to the northwest.
Well, Secretary Liao is not afraid of hardship, so of course I can’t..."
When Liao Gufeng came to the village for inspection before, Qiao Liang's parents met him.
Hearing Qiao Liang talk about Liao Gufeng, Qiao Liang's mother opened her eyes wide: "Has an official as big as Secretary Liao been assigned to a job?"
Everyone laughed again, and Qiao Liang couldn't laugh or cry again: "No, Mom, Secretary Liao went to Northwest Province to be the top leader, which is an important trust of the superiors."
"Oh..." Qiao Liang's mother nodded.
At this time, Qiao Liang's father said: "Old lady, since the child is eating from the public family, he is a member of the public family. We can't hold the child back. Since the superiors have decided to let the child go to a temporary job, then let's go. Secretary Liao is as big as him.
Even the officials can go, why can’t we go?”
Qiao Liang's mother stopped talking, but she still couldn't help lifting up her clothes and wiping her eyes. She couldn't help but worry about her son traveling thousands of miles away.
Qiao Liang apologized and smiled at everyone.
Then You Chengdong raised his glass and said loudly: "Here, let me bring two glasses of wine. The first glass is for uncle and aunt, and I wish them good health and longevity. The second glass of wine is for brother Qiao, and I wish brother Qiao will soon come to the northwest."
Open up the situation and return triumphantly two years later..."
Everyone raised their glasses together and drank two glasses in a row.
Then You Chengdong picked up the bottle and poured wine for Qiao Liang's parents. After pouring the wine, he said to Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, don't worry. After you go to the northwest, I will arrange for someone to take care of the elders in the family. You are not needed."
Worrying about it, just feel at ease and work well in the northwest..."
Unknowingly, You Chengdong had begun to treat Qiao Liang brother well, which showed his subconscious closeness to Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang noticed this change. When he heard what You Chengdong said, he felt very moved and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
You Chengdong then looked at Zhuang Jiaming: "This task will be left to you."
"No problem." The banker nodded clearly.
Then everyone continued to drink. You Chengdong was drinking very hard today. Except for Qiao Liang's parents, everyone else had to drink as long as they wanted to drink.
Unknowingly, all 6 bottles of high-strength liquor were actually consumed.
Everyone was very drunk. Kong Jie was the worst drunk and the most drunk.
Then Qiao Liang suggested having dinner.
After dinner, everyone drank tea for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they got up and left.
Kong Jie was in a drunken mess, and he held him upright. As he walked away, Kong Jie pointed at You Chengdong: "The surname... you, you... you wait, one day you... you went to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau,
I have to...have to find someone to knock you down."
You Chengdong laughed loudly: "Okay, Lao Kong, if you have this ability, I won't refuse anyone who comes."
Everyone laughed drunkenly.
Then Kong Jie looked at Qiao Liang again: "Old...brother, you...when you get to the northwest, you have to be careful...beware of people like Lao You, don't be tricked...by others into being like me..."
Qiao Liang smiled and nodded.
You Chengdong was unhappy and glared at Kong Jie: "Old Kong, I think you have bad intentions and are trying to sow discord between Brother Qiao and me."
"I... I'm just provoking, what can you... do to me?" Kong Jie also glared at You Chengdong and said in dissatisfaction, "You... you guy... ate and drank so much while you were in the countryside... I'll tell you later
Please read it before Secretary Shidong...I will give you a copy..."
"Haha..." You Chengdong laughed again, "Okay, Lao Kong, you can go to Secretary Zheng to sue me. I'm not afraid. I'll wait."
Zhuang Jiaming smiled and said: "Director Kong, you also participated in this feast."
"This, this..." Kong Jie shook his head, "Okay... I'll let you... let you go..."
Everyone laughed again.
After sending them to the village committee car, Qiao Liang rushed to everyone and said, "Brothers and leaders, thank you very much for today. Qiao Liang will always remember your true love for me."
Qiao Liang's words were sincere. At this time, under the influence of alcohol, he was quite impulsive.
You Chengdong patted Qiao Liang's shoulder heavily: "Brother, the sea is as wide as the fish can leap, and the sky is as high as the birds can fly. Once you leave Jiangzhou, you will have a new world where you can roam freely... I am waiting for you to come back, everyone is waiting for you.
Come back..."
You Chengdong's words contained sincere blessings and expectations, as well as feelings from the heart.
Qiao Liang was moved again and nodded vigorously.
Then everyone got in the car and left.
Then Qiao Liang returned home and fell asleep.
Qiao Liang stayed with her parents at home for two days, during which her younger sister and her family also came back, and the whole family had a reunion dinner.
Early on Monday morning, Qiao Liang left home and returned to Jiangzhou. This morning, the city was going to hold a farewell ceremony for those who were going to work on a temporary basis.
Before leaving home, her parents looked at Qiao Liang reluctantly, with deep care and concern in their eyes, and her mother kept wiping her eyes.
Seeing her parents like this and thinking that she was about to travel far away and not see them for a long time, Qiao Liang's nose felt sore, then she knelt down and kowtowed to her parents three times: "Dad, Mom, your son is unfilial, please take care of yourself!"
As soon as Qiao Liang knelt down, her mother burst into tears, and her father couldn't help but start wiping his eyes.
After bidding farewell to her parents, Qiao Liang left home with complicated emotions and headed straight to Jiangzhou.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a farewell ceremony for temporary staff was held in the small conference room of Jiangzhou Hotel. The ceremony was simple and grand. Feng Yunming presided over it and Xu Honggang spoke.
Xu Honggang was in a very happy mood at this time, because Qiao Liang was going to the northwest, and an opportunity came for him and Ye Xinyi.
In this happy mood, Xu Honggang first emphasized the importance of going to the northwest for a temporary posting, and then said that the comrades who went to the northwest for a temporary posting this time were carefully selected after strict inspection by the organization department, and they were among the young and middle-aged cadres in Jiangzhou.
Outstanding representatives, I hope that everyone will fully realize the important tasks and glorious missions they shoulder. After going to the northwest, obey the local leadership, unite, work hard, and contribute hard to win glory for Jiangdong and Jiangzhou...
After Xu Honggang finished speaking, Feng Yunming emphasized again, and then the brief farewell ceremony ended. The staff informed everyone to gather at the gate of the compound at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the organization department sent a special car to take everyone to Huangyuan and other cities.
People on temporary posts in the northwest will gather to participate in the farewell ceremony for temporary staff across the province to be held by the provincial organization department tomorrow afternoon.
After the farewell ceremony, Qiao Liang had a meal with Lao San and Tong Tong at noon, and told them to take good care of Zhang Mei while he was away from Jiangzhou. Lao San and Tong Tong agreed.
After lunch, everyone went to the mental hospital to see Zhang Mei.
After entering the ward, Zhang Mei was still as before, sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face and looking out the window, her eyes dull. Sister Li was folding Zhang Mei's freshly washed clothes.
Seeing them coming in, Sister Li smiled, then closed the door and went out. She took out her mobile phone while walking along the corridor...
Watching Sister Li go out, Qiao Liang frowned when she thought of the missing black windbreaker.
The expression on the third child's face was a bit unpredictable.
Then Qiao Liang sat in front of Zhang Mei, looked at her, and said softly: "Zhang Mei, I have to leave. I have to go on a long business trip. It will take a long time to come back. During my absence, Laosan and Tongtong will often come to see you...
…”
Zhang Mei turned around and looked directly at Qiao Liang without saying a word, as if she didn't know what Qiao Liang was talking about.
Looking at Zhang Mei's still handsome face, thinking about her short marriage with Zhang Mei, thinking about the extreme shame that marriage brought to her, and thinking about Zhang Mei's current situation, Qiao Liang felt ups and downs in her heart, feeling a sense of sadness and sadness.
sorrow and grief……
After watching Zhang Mei, Qiao Liang broke up with his third son, Tongtong, and then went to the suburban cemetery and came to Zhang Lin's grave.
At this time, the weather was very cloudy, the wind started to pick up, and there was a storm forecast for tonight.
Qiao Liang sat in front of Zhang Lin's tomb, lit a cigarette and smoked silently, silently remembering the past between himself and Zhang Lin, silently thinking about the happy times between himself and Zhang Lin, silently recalling the teachings and guidance Zhang Lin gave him...
…
After a long time, Qiao Liang stood up and stared at Zhang Lin's black and white portrait on the tombstone, staring at Zhang Lin's calm face and gentle eyes...
At this time, in a daze, Qiao Liang seemed to feel that Zhang Lin had not left, she was always beside him, and she was always watching him silently.
Unknowingly, tears fell quietly from Qiao Liang's face.
"Sister Lin, I'm leaving. You can rest well here. Rest in peace. There are no disputes, plots, or worries in the Kingdom of Heaven..." Qiao Liang said in his heart, slowly bent down, and bowed deeply to Zhang Lin, his face
The tears on her face fell in front of Zhang Lin’s tombstone.
After leaving the cemetery, Qiao Liang wanted to go to Li Youwei's place, but when he called, he found out that Li Youwei had gone on a business trip to other provinces and could not come back.
Knowing that Qiao Liang was leaving for Huangyuan tomorrow, Li Youwei encouraged Qiao Liang and said that he would go to the northwest to see him if he had the chance.
After making a phone call with Li Youwei, Qiao Liang took a taxi and went straight to his living base, where he planned to spend his last night in Jiangzhou.
This weekend, because Qiao Liang was away, Si Shengjie and Guo Qiang stayed at the base and did not dare to leave.
On the way to the base, Qiao Liang called Si Shengjie and asked him and Guo Qiang to return to the city to rest.
After receiving a call from Qiao Liang, Si Shengjie and Guo Qiang, who did not want to stay at the living base for a moment, immediately set off back to the city. When Qiao Liang arrived at the base, it was already after 6 pm. They had already left, and the workers were all The nearby villagers have also gone home after get off work.
At this time, the sky was dark, dark clouds were filling the sky, and the wind was getting stronger.
A storm is coming.
Qiao Liang closed the doors and windows of the base office, went to the pig pen to look at the piglets, then returned to the dormitory, sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, listened to the whistling wind outside, looked around the simple interior, and thought
During the short time I spent here twice, thinking about my ups and downs in official life, the people and things I experienced in Jiangzhou officialdom, and my unknown future and destiny in the future, I couldn't help but feel ups and downs.
Thousands...
At this moment, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open, and with the help of the wind, a "hula" sound was made, and then the wind from outside swept in. For more information, please pay attention to the tips in Chapter 1,300.
Qiao Liang was startled and looked up. In the dim light, a woman's figure was standing at the door.
Qiao Liang calmed down, stood up, walked over, and saw clearly who this woman was.
Seeing this woman here and now, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel surprised.
At this time, Qiao Liang didn't know what this woman's sudden appearance here tonight meant to him and what would happen.
