Upstart

When Huang Anguo just came out of the hospital, the old man had already received the phone call immediately. The middle-aged man had already called him to tell him the results of the test. Excited, his eye sockets were moist, the hand holding the phone trembled slightly, his mouth squirmed, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't make any sound, only a few vague voices could be heard faintly, the voice was too small Distinguish, middle-aged people can't know what the old man said, he can understand the old man's mood, after following the old man for so long, the old man will have a little time every day, staring at the photo on the table in a daze, even if he is traveling, the photo It is also something that the old man carries with him. Every time he wants to help the old man carry it, the old man will always wave his hand and reject his kindness. In the heart of the old man, that photo may be sacred above all else. It is only for the old man to use. The only thing that is entrusted with longing is always cherished by the elderly, and it is so big that no one is allowed to do it for it.

The middle-aged man knew the old man's mood and could imagine the old man's excitement. He reported the news to the old man. The middle-aged man waited quietly for a while, wanting to see if the old man had any instructions. There was only silence in the microphone, except for the old man. With that inaudible voice, the middle-aged man tactfully hung up the phone. This moment belongs to the old man's own time...

The middle-aged man hung up the phone, and there was a beeping sound coming from the phone, but the old man still held the phone's microphone in his hand. At this moment, the old man has lost all senses. He has nothing but the photo on the table in his eyes, and his thoughts have stayed on the people and things in the photo. hold the phone.

The old man stretched out his trembling hands, trying to get the photos on the table, but the short distance seemed like thousands of miles away.After exhausting the old man's efforts, after a long time, the old man's hand finally reached the photo. The old man took the photo and placed it on his chest. He stared at it for a long time until there was a tick, and there was a clear teardrop on the photo, and the old man returned. Come to your senses, and gently wipe away the tears lingering on the photo.The glass on the photo frame became brighter and brighter, and the face of the child held by the young man inside became more and more clear. The child's face was continuously enlarged until the face of Huang Anguo appeared in front of the old man. Smiling, seems pleased, seems excited.It seems to be grateful...Family affection will always make the living more grateful, cherish, and take good care of them.

The old man, with a gratifying smile, is a determination, an inviolable domineering.Twenty years ago, he failed to protect his only son and daughter-in-law.Twenty years later.No matter if God is merciful or good will be rewarded, he reunited with his only grandson, and he would not allow his only blood to be harmed in any way. If twenty years ago, he did not have this ability and status, two Today, more than ten years later, who would dare to say that he does not have this ability?

The old man has reached the age of sixty, and he has power.Wealth is worth mentioning, in his eyes, it is just a passing cloud.People, who came to this world naked, will eventually go back naked.Power is also good.Neither wealth nor wealth can be brought into the coffin.When a person is cremated, what else is left besides the soft ashes?

Society is always unfair. Some people are brilliant, some are poor, some are in high positions, and some are struggling at the bottom... These are not all floating clouds. When people die, they are all the same...

The old man doesn't think about anything at the moment, he just wants to protect this hard-won family relationship, and now, only family relationship can make him worry about it!

The old man pressed a button on the table, and soon, a staff member came to the old man's office in a hurry. The old man's face had already returned to normal, with a serious and dignified face. Elderly people often feel a little nervous involuntarily.

Before the staff could ask, the old man had already ordered, "Buy some invitations for me, I will use them later."

The staff nodded respectfully, and retreated respectfully. No matter how strange he was, he didn't dare to have any doubts.

The old man stood up, glanced at the photo, and walked out of the office quickly... "An Guo, congratulations."

The middle-aged man's car has been driving for a certain distance, and the car has been quiet all the time. The middle-aged man drove the car intently at the front, without disturbing Huang Anguo at the back. When he encountered such a thing, it was his age, and As an outsider, he was very moved, not to mention Huang Anguo, who just got the test results, when he called the old man to report the news, when the old man was so excited that he didn't say anything, he didn't let Huang Anguo and When the old man was talking on the phone, Huang Anguo and the old man were in such a state, their whole spirit seemed to be emptied, and their minds were blank. The middle-aged man did not bother the old man and Huang Anguo at that time. At that moment, the two What is needed more is a quiet space.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for the two of them to meet face to face, at least the middle-aged man thinks so, so just now, he didn't propose to let the old man or Huang Anguo talk to the old man on the phone.

"Congratulations, what?" Huang Anguo, who had been in a trance for a while, didn't seem to come back to his senses, but frowned. Perhaps, he could already think normally, but he felt uncomfortable with the sudden addition of identities. , or, he was not too happy about the middle-aged man's congratulations.

The eyelids of the middle-aged man shrank slightly, and through the rearview mirror, he could see Huang Anguo's expression, and the middle-aged man didn't take it seriously, and said slowly, "I've been with Mr. Huang for some years. From the day I met him, I knew that the photo on his desk was very important to him, but after a long time, I also realized that I still underestimated the importance of the photo. It is very important, but as important as life, because it is the only medium for him to express his thoughts on the people in the photos. Seeing that Mr. Huang is so precious to a photo, I know the people in the photos It is even more important to Mr. Huang. After following Mr. Huang for a long time, I can imagine what the person in the photo is like with my eyes closed, but I have never seen the person in the photo. I feel very strange , but gradually, I knew that the person in the photo was no longer there. Because Mr. Huang would go to the cemetery several times a year, and the names of a pair of strange men and women were on the tombstone. I only found out later that it was Mr. Huang. Son and daughter-in-law. Every time Mr. Huang went to the cemetery, as his closest staff member, I followed him every time. I will never forget the impression that Mr. Huang gave me there.”

The middle-aged man spoke with deep emotion, and his low voice seemed to want to express all his feelings that could not be expressed in words, so that Huang Anguo was also brought into the atmosphere unconsciously.He just wanted to hear the middle-aged man finish his sentence. Huang Anguo didn't say much, but simply asked, "Why?" Maybe he didn't feel it himself, but there was a trace of choking in his low voice, a trace of being suppressed by that strength. sadness.

"Because there, Huang Lao is no longer Huang Lao. There, he has completely stepped down from the altar. He is no longer the high, untouchable Huang Lao who can only be worshiped by others. There, he is just a lonely old man. .The clear back. Like the old man, crumbling, he is a real lonely old man who has lost all his aura. He is like all old people, even more pitiful than other old people who enjoy family happiness." The young man looked at Huang Anguo, and said emotionally, "Mr. Huang misses the relatives who have passed away all the time, and yearns for the unreachable family affection. He knows that there is a grandson like you at this moment. His mood is terrible." You can imagine it. So, I think you must be the same as him, and I congratulate you for being able to reunite with your relatives at this moment. "

"Thank you." Huang Anguo stared at the back of the middle-aged man.Sincerely say thank you.If the middle-aged people were congratulating him on having such a strong backer at this moment, then Huang Anguo would only feel disgusted in his heart.And completely left a bad impression on the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man spoke with passion and sincerity, and Huang Anguo could only thank him in his heart.

After a brief exchange with Huang Anguo, the middle-aged man stopped talking, and the car gradually got closer and closer to where the old man was. The road became wider and wider, and the number of vehicles on the road was relatively reduced. The middle-aged man suddenly accelerated his driving speed.

Zhongnanhai, this is a sacred and mysterious place, how many people can enter it in their lifetime?There are ups and downs in the official life, ups and downs, and there are very few who can go inside.

At the gate, an old man stands facing the cold wind, and behind him are two staff members. Don't look at the two staff members who are following the old man. In the dark, they don't know how many invisible people are protecting the old man's place. Safe, just invisible.

The two staff members stood tightly on both sides of the old man. They didn't know why the old man came to this door suddenly, and they didn't know who they were waiting for or what they were doing. Out of consideration for the old man's health, the two staff members both Kindly remind the old man to wait inside the house. It is not a joke to stand at the door to blow the wind in this winter. Although they have put an extra thick coat on the old man, the old man is an elderly person. The resistance is definitely not as good as that of young people. If they accidentally catch a cold, they will inevitably be criticized as the personal staff of the elderly.

But the leaders are old people after all, they are just staff, they can give advice, but they can’t help the old man make a decision. Although the old man didn’t answer, the unquestionable expression on his face gave them the answer. If the old man wants to stand here, no one can stop him Even if the No. [-] head of the Central Committee is called, I am afraid that the old man will not be able to persuade the old man to go in at this moment. Although the old man is not very high in the standing committee, no one can doubt or deny the old man's status and influence. The oldest one, over seventy years old, is several years older than Chief No. [-], not to mention younger members of the Standing Committee, because the old man's fair and strict manner of conduct is respected by others. At his age, even Chief No. [-] often calls him big brother enthusiastically, which shows the status of an old man.

The staff had no way to persuade the old man to go in, so they had to get close to the old man as much as possible and help the old man to block the wind from the left and right sides as much as possible. As for the front, it was impossible, and it was impossible for them to stand in front of the old man.

The old man stood facing the wind and looked into the distance. The bitter cold wind blew on his face, which was nearly seventy years old but still energetic, without any ripples. Time can leave traces on the old man's face, but this cold wind , but can't, the bleak cold wind passed over the old man's face.Passing by, how did you come, or how did you go...

The old man remained motionless, with a resolute face and hopeful eyes, looking towards the direction facing the gate of Zhongnanhai, clearly looking forward to it.Seeing the old man's expression and behavior, the two staff members around him felt very strange. Who would the old man be waiting for?In their memory, the old man has never waited for anyone at this door, as an old man.I am afraid that there are not many people who are worthy of the old man standing at the door in winter.It's just that the two staff members felt very strange. Usually, other heads came back from visiting, and the old man never waited at the door like this. Besides, the first and second heads didn't go out today, and I didn't hear that there were any foreign guests visiting, even if there were foreign guests. It is impossible to be greeted by standing at the gate of Zhongnanhai for a visit.The two staff members stood and waited with the old man full of doubts. They didn't know who the hell would be, but they asked the old man to wait at the door. This was the first time that the old man came to wait. Wondering who's coming.

"Here we come." The old man became excited, as if talking to himself.

The two staff members followed the old man's voice and looked forward.They looked at each other curiously.It's just an ordinary car that the old man usually travels in. Why is the old man so excited when he sees this car today?

The old man saw the car driven by the middle-aged man coming, and the middle-aged man and Huang Anguo also saw the old man standing at the door. A slight surprise flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and then he was relieved. He was surprised that the old man came out in person. The first time he saw him, he just thought about the relationship between the old man and Huang Anguo, and how much the old man valued and longed for family affection over the years.The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel relieved, the old man's behavior couldn't be more normal.

Huang Anguo saw the old man's thin body standing alone in the cold wind, his heart throbbed, moved, and distressed.Compassion...and so on.Yes, all these years.The old man is alone, the old man is lonely and pitiful, and at least he has a family, his own parents, and his own younger brothers and sisters, even though he knows that those are not his biological parents, not his real brother Sister, but they gave his family warmth and family affection. In Huang Anguo's heart, they are better than real relatives. Huang Anguo is unfortunate, but he is also lucky. Although he was an orphan since he was a child, he has others. With the love from his father and mother, he never thought that he would see his real relatives one day, because even his current parents don't know anything about his family, and they don't have any clues. Huang Anuo's heart may be He hadn't had any hope for this for a long time, but he didn't expect that when he hadn't thought about it, God would play such a joke on him.

"An Guo, Secretary Huang, I really care about you. You see, he came to the door to wait for you on such a cold day. I have never seen such a situation." The middle-aged man smiled, "Later, Secretary Huang will definitely be happier to see you."

Huang Anguo hummed softly, his eyes still fell on the old man, the middle-aged secretary Di Huang was the old man in his eyes, yes, the old man was Secretary Huang, Secretary Di Huang of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, member of the Politburo Standing Committee, that is Heaven-level characters.

Huang Anguo was a little at a loss. He had also experienced a lot of turmoil, but he had never experienced this scene of confessing relatives. He didn't know how to call the old man, grandpa?Huang Anguo felt a little awkward, he had never called it before, and he never thought that he would get along with this word, but now he suddenly wanted to call someone who was still relatively unfamiliar to him grandpa, Huang Anguo felt very uncomfortable, At least he felt that he was not used to it, even though many people were probably scrambling to call the old man in front of him grandpa.

The car arrived, Huang Anguo got out of the car, he took two steps, the old man also walked forward two steps quickly, the two were facing each other like this, looking at each other, Huang Anguo was a little at a loss, didn't know what to say, for a moment In the meantime, grandpa couldn't even cry out.As for the old man, his expression was agitated. If the old man was only cordial when he saw Huang Anguo yesterday, I am afraid that seeing Huang Anguo now, the old man felt not only cordiality, but the affection that melts in water.

"Hey, isn't that the little secretary you used to have?" At this time, a car near the gate of Zhongnanhai stopped not far away. The people in the car had seen the old man and wanted to go down to say hello to the old man, but Seeing Huang Anguo suddenly, one of them couldn't help asking strangely.

"Yeah, why is he here? Does he know Secretary Huang?" Another person also said strangely.

The people in the car were obviously Wang Kaiping and Song Yuanshan. They were planning to go to Zhongnanhai to report to the No. [-] and No. [-] chiefs about the province S, and they also wanted to study the personnel transfer issue in this province.Computer access: (read novels to Vertex Novels.com)
