Organization Minister

Four Yesterday morning, Xie Yongdong received a call from Mayor Wang, knowing that his brother had returned to Anchuan City that night. He waited for a full morning today, but there was still no news from him. It was not until 05:30 in the afternoon that he finally dialed the phone. I hope that my brother will take advantage of this opportunity to come to Anchuan, and the two brothers will go back to Suqi County to visit their old mother.

Many years ago, when Xie Yongdong was studying in Shanghai, Xie Yongxia once brought his mother to the provincial capital to live with him and Yang Lei. Soon there was some estrangement, which made Xie Yongxia in a dilemma. Under all kinds of rogues, he had to send his mother back to his hometown in Suqi County. A few years later, his younger brother Xie Yongdong graduated and was assigned to work in Anchuan City. For this matter, Xie Yongxia blamed and complained to Yang Lei many times, and Yang Lei shed tears every time to express her grievances. .

** On the second day after the evaluation meeting, Xie Yongxia, who was finally freed from his busy schedule, was in a very relaxed mood. He got up early in the morning, checked the time at about [-] o'clock in the morning, and calculated that his younger brother would meet and leave It was still early, so taking advantage of the excitement, he pushed open the door leading to the balcony and walked out.At this time, the heavy snowfall of the day before yesterday had already stopped, and the thick snow began to melt gradually. A thin layer of mist floated on the Yuqing River, covering the whole city in haze, as if A mysterious Sleeping Beauty, Xie Yongxia appreciates the scenery of his hometown very much, because it is a splash-ink landscape painting drawn by Danqing's master hand, which magically uses natural colors to express the moisture and vitality to the fullest.

It is really a quiet and natural morning song, Xie Yongxia sighed in his heart.

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" The room's doorbell rang.Xie Yongxia looked at the time and guessed that his brother had arrived on time, so he quickly walked into the room from the balcony, opened the door and saw a middle-aged, well-dressed, handsome middle-aged man standing outside.At a glance, it looks a bit like Xie Yongxia when he was young. He is Xie Yongdong, general manager of Anchuan Urban Construction Co., Ltd.Xie Yongxia knows that his younger brother is 42 years old this year, only six years younger than himself. For some reason, his younger brother's face always looks like a young man, his skin is still rosy, and with the pair of piercing eyes under the thick eyebrows, he looks At most it looks like someone in their 30s.

"Brother!" Xie Yongdong, who was full of smiles, hurriedly greeted him as soon as he saw him.

Xie Yongxia hadn't seen his younger brother for almost two years, and he was very happy in his heart. He beckoned to his younger brother and said, "Come in-sit-sit-wait for me for a while. I'll pack some things and leave." Xie Yongdong followed Walked into the room behind Xie Yongxia, put the overcoat on the sofa in the living room, sat down, looked around the apartment where Xie Yongxia lived, and said to Xie Yongxia: "Brother, the place where you live is really nice." , I have to spend more than 2000 yuan in one night, which is even richer than me, the boss of a state-owned holding company with hundreds of millions of assets. Alas, in today's society, it is no wonder that so many people have sharpened their heads and want to drill in. They say that when Good official, it would be even better to be a senior official! Seeing you today, it seems that you are right." Xie Yongxia, who was packing some things in the bedroom, felt angry and funny when he heard the sour words from his younger brother, and stood in the bedroom Said to the younger brother in the living room: "Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote a good book called "Fortress Besieged". It is very well said. People outside want to go in, and people inside want to rush out. You only know that businessmen envy those who do business. Officials, but you don’t know that those officials are also envious of your businessmen. Don’t just look at the superficial appearance, my living in this room can only be regarded as job expenses, and it’s not like you don’t know how much money you have in your pocket.” “Heh! Xie Yongdong softly uttered this sound with his nose, and he didn't take his brother's words seriously: "Hey! I really don't know the blessings in the blessings! Look at those who do business, their legs are swollen just to earn some money, and those who are officials The money came. I have only seen poor people who died of starvation, but not officials who died of poverty." "You are mobilizing me to engage in corruption, aren't you! Yong Dong , don’t you know your brother’s character and ability to do those things?” At this time, Xie Yongxia said and walked out of the bedroom, carrying a bag of things and handing it to Xie Yongdong.

"Here, this is what I bribed Mom today! You wait here first, I have some things to do." Xie Yongxia walked out of the room after speaking, and went to Liu Dongsheng and Chai Yun to explain the follow-up work. up.

About ten minutes later, Xie Yongxia yelled outside the door, and the two brothers went downstairs from the elevator and came to the lobby. Xie Yongxia stood at the door, and Xie Yongdong drove a new black Honda from the parking lot of the hotel to greet them. My brother sat in the driver's seat, and they crossed a side street and drove on Endeavor Avenue, the spacious and straight main street in the city center.

While driving, Xie Yongdong introduced to his brother the Anchuan City Song and Dance Theater, Gymnasium, Youth Activity Center, and other hotels, restaurants, and residential quarters, etc., which were built by the urban construction company in the past two years. He also told Xie Yongxia that in the past two years, Anchuan City The urban area expanded from 24 square kilometers to 36 square kilometers, a full expansion of twelve square kilometers.While talking, my younger brother talked about the mayor Wang Jiaquan, and praised him for his courage and reform consciousness.

While listening, Xie Yongxia looked around at the row upon row of high-rise buildings and a large area of ​​beautiful new residential areas along the way. He couldn't help nodding, secretly applauding the new changes here, thinking: seeing is believing, don't come out for a walk, I really don't know the basics.

At the corner not far from the end of Fenjin Avenue, the Honda car drew a beautiful arc and ran onto the high-grade highway from Anchuan City to Suqi County. At this time, the scenery on both sides of the road changed, showing The natural idyllic scenery with emerald peaks and luxuriant forests.It's true: the green is green and beautiful, and the springs and waterfalls are clear and pleasant.

Seeing Xie Yongxia's curious expression, Xie Yongdong proudly said to him: "Brother! Do you know that this is the No. [-] image project of our Suqi County, called the Green Ecological Corridor, and it is Mayor Wang who just came to our city When I was working, I took advantage of the country’s policy of returning farmland to forests. What do you think?” Xie Yongxia said, “I’ve been here before, why didn’t I notice this?” “Brother, you’re talking about two years ago It's over, now is the time to see the effect." "The more I listen to it, the more I feel that you are like a guide sent by Jiaquan." "Hahaha!" Xie Yongxia and Xie Yongdong quickly arrived amidst the laughter all the way Suqi County, about [-] kilometers away from Yaskawa City.

The fifth mother lives in the Emerald Garden in the new district of the county seat. This is the new home that my younger brother spent nearly 15 yuan last year for his mother. At the beginning of last year, when the old city of Suqi County was demolished, Xie Yongxia Wanting to spend 8 yuan to buy a second-hand house for my mother may sound unreasonable to outsiders. Is it possible that a dignified head of the provincial party committee organization and a well-known dutiful son would buy a second-hand house for his mother?However, anyone who knows him knows that this is Xie Yongxia's best effort.

In all fairness, although Xie Yongxia is very experienced in handling affairs as an official, he will never get involved in those things that are easy to do, embezzle and accept bribes, and he can be regarded as a model of integrity. An important reason for its stability.

At this time, Xie Yongdong, the general manager of Anchuan City Construction Co., Ltd., called his brother and told his brother and sister-in-law to keep the 8 yuan savings for his niece Xiaojia to go to college in the future. Xie Yongxia was really deeply moved by his brother's words about the full cost of buying a house in the garden.He is very grateful to his younger brother, because his younger brother has fulfilled his greatest wish in life—that is, to make his dying mother live a better life in order to repay her for her life's arduous upbringing.

Of course, Xie Yongxia was still a little worried about his brother's generosity, and asked many times in private; Xie Yongdong's answer was completely logical, saying that the construction company was very profitable, and naturally the company's bosses also made a lot of money.This made Xie Yongxia no longer able to find any reason to doubt, so he had to warn his younger brother that once he gets involved in the business world, he must always keep in mind: a gentleman loves money and must get it in a proper way.

When Xie Yongxia and his brothers came home, their mother was leisurely and comfortably sitting alone under the flowers and plants on the balcony, reading a book.Compared with her peers, her mother is a cultured woman who came from a large family in Suqi County.Her father, the grandfather of the Xie brothers, was a new figure at the time, and he studied in the St.John University, a classmate of Lin Yutang, a master of modern Chinese literature, once worked as an editor and writer for the literary monthly "Cosmic Wind" under his command.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, my grandfather returned to Suqi County to serve as a teacher in the county middle school.Therefore, my mother has received a good education since she was a child. She studied in Xinxue and finally finished the county girls' high school.After liberation, because my grandfather also had contacts with Hu Feng, a master of literary theory in his early years, he was found out and knocked down in the "Hu Feng Group" incident, which made his father and mother implicated and was also expelled from the school as a glorious people Teachers were swept out of their posts and reduced to urban vagrants.Soon my father walked the last journey of his life in despair.

From then on, the mother used her frail body to support this precarious family, and poverty tortured them all the time. The Xie brothers spent the best childhood and adolescence in their lives under the eyes of humiliation and despise.This experience not only tempered their youthful fighting spirit of daring to face life and their heroic spirit of being jealous of evil, but also made them deeply bury a hidden, Close communication channels, no matter at any time, the blood and flesh connection has never been truly severed.

The sudden return of the Xie brothers really made the mother ecstatic. She pulled the two brothers to sit in front of the sofa, looked at Xie Yongxia and Xie Yongdong carefully for a while, and the mother probably felt that Xie Yongxia was much older than the younger brother, so Stretching out her hand and stroking Xie Yongxia's cheek, she kept muttering: "You've lost weight, you've lost weight, it seems that your wife didn't take good care of you again, alas, this Yang Lei is not the material to take good care of people at all, I've said it a long time ago..." Then she scolded Yang Lei again.If mother's words were heard by Yang Lei, there might be a war of words between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but for Xie Yongxia, he really felt the gentle care and warmth of his mother, I also felt a deep guilt because I cared too little for my mother for so many years...

"Mom, don't talk about her like that." Although Xie Yongxia deeply understands what is behind "Mom's nagging is as beautiful as a song", it is that the mother writes the lyrics with love and cares for her. Compose and sing with a nagging voice.But he is also very clear that these complaints from his mother to his wife are actually extremely unfair to Yang Lei.As soon as Xie Yongxia finished speaking, his mother got angry.

"What's the matter, is there any rule now that a mother-in-law is not allowed to talk about a daughter-in-law? In the old society..." The mother seemed to firmly disagree that her beloved son was standing in the trenches of the daughter-in-law, so she continued to talk more and more. further away.

"Mom, this is a gift from my elder brother. He said he came here to bribe you." In order to help his elder brother get out of the current predicament, Xie Yongdong inserted a funny sentence and deliberately changed the topic of his mother.When the mother heard that there was no such thing as a son bribing his mother in this world, she laughed happily. Didn't Xie Yongxia pick up what he said this morning?He also laughed.

Xie Yongxia bought some groceries for his mother at the Huitong Supermarket near the hotel yesterday, and bought some tonics and medicines at the Jishi Pharmacy next door, but told his mother that it was Yang Lei who bought them for her in the provincial capital and called He brought honor to the elderly.

Mother dubiously put on reading glasses and looked carefully for a while, and soon discovered the loopholes in Xie Yongxia's words, because these things were still attached with small price tags of supermarkets and pharmacies, and there were also printed on the small tags Huitong Supermarket Anchuan Store and Jishi Medicine The words of the Anchuan store of the industry chain, so the mother pointed to the words on the small price tag and said to Xie Yongxia.

"You're talking nonsense, you're in your tens of years, and you're still fooled by my old lady. In our family, who cares about me, I don't know. There are only you and Yongdong's daughter-in-law Meimei in our family. " "Hehe!" Xie Yongdong smiled, and what his mother said made him feel a little embarrassed.

While talking, my mother remembered that she wanted to have a big lunch at noon to comfort the two brothers who hadn’t come home to visit their mother for a long time, so she called the nanny Agui to go to the street to sell some of their favorite dishes and famous snacks , such as the small flower buns from Yutang Street, the stewed beef from the mosque, the spicy chicken from Granny Li, etc., my mother said a long list of names in one breath.

These famous dishes and snacks from their hometown were the most greedy things for the Xie brothers when they were young.Xie Yongxia still clearly remembers that Xie Yongdong, who was not yet in elementary school at that time, once went to Yutang Street to play, and stood there for a whole afternoon at the place selling small flower bags, so greedy that his thumb that was covered with dirt It became a white thumb.

Another time, my mother bought four small flower bags and came back and told Xie Yongdong that the two brothers had two each, so she went outside and called Xie Yongxia who was playing in the yard to come back. When Xie Yongxia walked into the house, she found Xie Yongdong Swallowing the four small flower bags into his stomach with lightning speed, he was sitting at the table belching contentedly.

Speaking of these famous local dishes and snacks, Xie Yongxia vividly described his younger brother's gluttony at that time. Immediately, the whole living room was filled with cheerful laughter from the mother and the brothers. The man bent over laughingly.

The difference from the famous elder Wang Jiaquan is that Xie Yongxia is not only a high-ranking public servant, but also a skilled hand at housework. Of course, this is also related to Yang Lei's career as a high school teacher , Xie Yongxia sat in the living room and saw that the time was almost twelve o'clock, so he invited his mother back to the balcony to continue reading, and he went into the kitchen to do things, saw his brother went in, and his brother Xie Yongdong also Follow in and help.

The two brothers continued to chat while working. At this time, Xie Yongxia found that there were many famous wines in the kitchen at home, including some foreign wines that Chinese people seldom drink. What was even more surprising was that there was a bottle of French origin Louis XIII, this kind of world-famous top-grade wine is sold on the market as high as 1 to [-] RMB. Such a thing will appear in his mother's house. To him, it is like seeing an alien. Xie Yongdong asked about the origin of these wines.

"These wines are collected by the rural nanny and are going to be brought back to the countryside," Xie Yongdong said disapprovingly.

"What I'm asking is where do these wines come from?" Seeing that Xie Yongdong's answer was not what he asked, Xie Yongxia asked again.

Only then did Xie Yongdong suddenly realize, and replied: "This is what Mayor Wang left after eating at home, and he brought the wine." "Oh, it's Jiaquan, does he come here often?" Xie Yongxia asked back.

Xie Yongdong said: "I come here often, sometimes during holidays, and sometimes when I come to the county to check my work, I come to my house to greet and take care of me.
