Looking at Cheng Weidi's sleeping face and satisfied smile, Yuan Zili couldn't sleep. In the blink of an eye, it has been 5 years. In the past 5 years, Yuan Zili has been going smoothly, with money and status, which is incomparable with before. Yuan Zili has completely
I believe that the world has changed, but the general trend will not change. The economy will develop, people will become richer and richer, in the future, housing prices will become higher and higher, and social atmosphere will become more and more impetuous. However, my own experience
Those things have completely changed.
In a daze, Yuan Zili fell asleep.
"Yuan Zili, why did you just come back? It's been so long."
"Liu Yan, you, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? I'm waiting for you to go home. You went out to attend a class reunion, but there was no news for a long time, and you didn't even know how to call. It made us miserable at home."
"No, no, where am I now?"
"You are confused, you are at home."
Yuan Zili looked around carefully. He saw familiar houses and familiar furnishings. Nothing had changed. Yuan Zili felt a little dazed. What was going on?
"No, Liu Yan, I encountered something, and I won't be able to tell for a while. Where is my daughter?"
"My daughter hasn't finished school yet. She's been talking about you every day since you've been out."
"I haven't seen my daughter for many days. Is she okay?"
"It's not the same as before. There's a lot of homework. By the way, your parents have come to the county. They made a special trip to see you. They've been here for several days."
"Really? Are they okay? Why aren't they at home?"
Yuan Zili was talking to Liu Yan when the door was pushed open and Yuan Shuhai and Liu Qingmei came in. Yuan Zili saw that his father Yuan Shuhai's hair was all white and there were many wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was really an old man.
My mother, Liu Qingmei, was not much better. Most of her hair was gray.
"Zi Li, you are back. We came to see you. I don't know how you are doing. Alas, you have been so busy these years and your family has not taken care of you. You have relied on Liu Yan inside and out. If this goes on,
That’s not the way to go.”
"Dad, Mom, when did you come?"
"We have been here for several days, just worried about you."
Yuan Zili didn't know what was going on, what was happening to everything in front of him.
"How is Xiaomei doing now?"
"You kid, when did you think of caring about your sister? She has always been the one to ask about you. My little sister is living a good life now, so don't worry about it."
Yuan Zili's mind was racing at high speed. What was going on? Where had Cheng Wedie gone? Before Yuan Zili could react, the scene in front of him changed again.
This is a conference room that Yuan Zili is familiar with, and the director is presiding over the meeting.
"Director Yuan, this is the work you are in charge of. The people below are not motivated enough. You have to supervise them more. The person in charge of the second-level unit is like that. If you don't supervise them, they won't get things done."
The director looked at Yuan Zili who was in a daze, feeling a little strange.
"Director Yuan, you have nothing to do, right? If you don't feel well, just rest more."
Yuan Zili opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
This is Yuan Zili's real life. At home, his wife and daughter rely on him, but Yuan Zili cannot give them a sense of security. In the unit, Yuan Zili is in charge of an insignificant secondary unit. Whether he does something or not, it doesn't matter.
It has no impact, and these people in charge are also disheartened. They usually don't think about doing anything at all, they only think about how to make money.
Yuan Zili felt that he was tightly entangled in a layer of white mist, and no matter what, he could not break free.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Zili opened his eyes. Under the dim desk lamp, Yuan Zili saw Cheng Weidie's big eyes showing tension.
"No, it's nothing, I'm dreaming, Xiaodie, where are we?"
"Husband, what's wrong with you? You have a nightmare. We are at home. Husband, you are too nervous at work. Why don't you take a good rest."
"It's okay, I have nothing to do, Xiaodie, you can go to sleep."
Yuan Zili persuaded Cheng Weidi to fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. This dream brought him back to those real years. His wife Liu Yan and his daughter were once his greatest sustenance, even though his wife had a bad temper.
, Although her daughter is a bit naughty, her life is very peaceful. Now, Yuan Zili has traveled through time. Five years have passed, and Yuan Zili has almost forgotten those previous years. He only vaguely remembers in the depths of his memory that Yuan Zili once served in Xuan Shi
Search the county education system for Liu Yan. There is only one Liu Yan in the county education system. It is not the Liu Yan that Yuan Zili is looking for. Yuan Zili doesn’t know why all this is happening. Parents, classmates, etc., these situations are all real.
, why can’t I find any traces of my previous life?
Tears flowed down his cheeks. Yuan Zili did not realize that this real dream touched Yuan Zili. Many vague marks began to become clear. Countless losses and grievances from the past came to mind one by one. His wife and daughter
The helplessness, the dissatisfaction and heartache of his parents, the futile pursuit of his job, the cold treatment he suffered, and the snobbery in the world. These unbearable experiences made Yuan Zili doubt the scene before him.
Yuan Zili couldn't sleep anymore. He put on his sweater and pajamas and walked to the balcony.
The weather was very cold at night, and a gust of cold wind blew. Yuan Zili shuddered and woke up completely. He lit a cigarette and stood quietly on the balcony. What was the reason for this dream? Was it because he could not let go of the past, or was it a symbol?
What are you talking about? Yuan Zili thought of what Tian Lixin said. After becoming a county-level leader, he truly entered the officialdom. He was about to face countless storms. Yuan Zili had not experienced these and had no experience in dealing with them. Yuan Zili's story unfolded
What is in front of us is a golden road, but also a thorny road. In the officialdom, nothing goes smoothly. It is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows, and it is difficult to prevent them. If you are not careful, you may fall into a situation of no return. Some officials fell on the road of charge.
It's not that he is corrupt or incompetent, but that he is buried in the unspoken rules of officialdom. Yuan Zili remembers clearly that the magistrate of a certain county wanted to be an upright official, but as a result, he could not gain a foothold in the county. Later, he was forced to
The situation, complicity, and eventual collapse.
Yuan Zili didn't know what he would face.
"Husband, what happened to you today?"
"Xiaodie, why are you up? It's cold outside. Go inside quickly."
"No, husband, I want to stay with you."
Yuan Zili saw that Cheng Weidie was not wearing many clothes and hugged Cheng Weidie tightly in his arms.
"Xiaodie, I don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe I will encounter some unexpected things, but I must protect you."
"Husband, don't say it. I know it. I used to see my father in a daze a lot. I still didn't understand it. Now that I see you like this, I understand. Husband, being an official is really meaningless. It's so hard. If you don't want to do it,
Now, let’s talk to Uncle Yi and ask you to be transferred to the provincial capital to work, okay?”
"Xiaodie, there are some things that you won't understand. Do you still remember Pu Songling's couplet? Where there is a will, there is a way. If you break the cauldron or sink the boat, a hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu. You have worked hard to live up to the fate of man and nature. You have to endure hardships and endure hardships. Three thousand
Yue Jia can swallow Wu, but taking it easy means accomplishing nothing."
"Husband, I understand, I just don't want to see you working too hard."
"Xiaodie, it's okay. I can handle it. The province has the support of Dad, Uncle Yi, and Minister Li, and the city has the support of Secretary Zhao and Secretary Cai. There will be no problem."
Cheng Weidi snuggled into Yuan Zili's arms without saying anything. In her eyes, Yuan Zili was the best man in the world.
The two hugged each other on the balcony for a long time.
