Official Road Hongyan

Ye Ming has been listening attentively to the call between Zhang Lingzhi and Xiao Jin. When he heard the last sentence, he knew that Xiao Jin had agreed to go to his house with Zhang Lingzhi, and he was very happy. After Zhang Lingzhi hung up the phone, He hurriedly asked: "Major Zhang, can't we go to Director Xiao's house earlier? Eight o'clock in the evening seems a bit too late."

Zhang Lingzhi shook his head and said, "Xiaoye, you don't know: Director Xiao's family life is very regular, and usually eats on time at seven o'clock in the evening, and then his wife goes to the nearby family area to do square dancing on the playground, and Director Xiao Then he will tutor his son at home for an hour, and he will not be able to meet guests until after eight o'clock. Therefore, if someone does not know this rule, and visits Director Xiao at his house before eight o'clock in the evening, he will probably be turned away!"

Ye Ming asked a little strangely: "Director Xiao seems to be 44 or [-] years old. According to common sense, his son should have gone to college, at least he should be in the second and third year of high school. Why do you need him to help with homework?"

Zhang Lingzhi's face darkened, and after thinking about it, he said to Ye Ming in a heavy tone: "Director Ye, you may not know: Director Xiao has been living very hard and bitterly all these years! First of all, in the In terms of career, although he is capable, competent, honest and fair, and has good conduct, but because he is too upright and self-disciplined, he often offends his colleagues and superiors. So until now he is still a member of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department without much real power Moreover, as the director of the department, he was promoted by the original head of the organization because of his sincerity and hard work. According to his character, ability and work performance, he should have been promoted to Go up to a higher level position.

"Secondly, his family life is more unfortunate than his job promotion. Director Xiao's hometown is in Xiangfeng County, the poorest county in the west of Tianjiang Province. There are many brothers and sisters in the family. Therefore, his family is extremely poor. , Graduate students rely on the school's stipends and scholarships to barely support their graduation. It is said that he still has to send money to his family every month to support his youngest brother to study.

"Because he comes from a poor family in a poor county, and he is relatively dull emotionally, not good at socializing, let alone pleasing girls. Therefore, even though he has been working in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee after graduating from graduate school, He is not bad looking, but he has never been able to find a suitable partner. It was not until he was 32 years old that he was introduced to an older girl with an average appearance and poor family conditions in a cotton spinning factory and hurriedly married him. The current lover. After two years of marriage, he gave birth to a son. Therefore, his son is just ten years old and is still in the fifth grade of elementary school.

"The more unfortunate thing was yet to come: when his son was two and a half years old, he suddenly had a fever that lasted for several days. Since the couple were busy at that time and lacked medical knowledge, they regarded their son's fever as a normal one. To treat a cold, he went to a nearby small clinic for an injection as soon as he had a fever, which delayed the best time for diagnosis and treatment. As a result, he finally went to the Provincial Children's Hospital for a diagnosis, and his son was suffering from polio, also known as polio. At this time, there was no way to return to heaven, and his son was permanently disabled. He could not move his right leg, and it was as thin as a hemp stick. He usually had to use a cane to walk.

"For this reason, Director Xiao and his wife were deeply regretful, so they took their son to seek medical treatment and medicine, trying to cure his son's right leg. As a result, he spent several years of treatment everywhere, and spent all the savings of the couple. His leg was healed. A few years ago, his lover was laid off from the cotton mill, and life at home became even more difficult.

"So, now Director Xiao is very distressed and fond of his disabled son who is suffering from illness and is now looked down upon by his classmates. As long as he has time, he will stay with his son, accompany him to do homework, and give him Tell stories. More importantly, he needs to explain to his son often, let him develop a self-esteem, self-confidence and self-confidence - because his son has a little autism symptoms: he doesn't like to see people, he doesn't like to go to school, I just want to stay at home and not go out, so as not to be stared at and ridiculed by others. Alas, good people have bad lives!"

Zhang Lingzhi finally ended his introduction to Director Xiao's unfortunate family with a sigh.

Ye Ming has been silently listening to Zhang Lingzhi's narration, the more he listens, the more worried he becomes, and the more he listens, the more sad he becomes.By the end, tears of sympathy welled up in his eyes.

He never expected that Director Xiao, the class teacher who looks tough, sharp, and serious on the outside, would have such a painful experience and such an unfortunate family.Moreover, even in such a poor situation, he is still honest and self-disciplined, meticulous, does not accept gifts from anyone, and does not do anything that is not easy to do.Such good officials are really rare now...

Therefore, he secretly decided: the next time he sees Secretary Li, he must tell him about Director Xiao, and reflect what Zhang Lingzhi told him today to Secretary Li.Secretary Li admires such cadres the most, but he doesn't know Director Xiao yet.If he knew about his deeds, maybe Director Xiao's situation would be greatly improved...

Before going to Xiao Jin's house at night, Ye Ming always felt that he couldn't just go to Director Xiao's house empty-handed, so he asked Zhang Lingzhi what gift should he buy to go to Director Xiao's house?

Zhang Lingzhi pondered for a moment, and said: "Director Ye, I told you: Director Xiao will not accept any gifts. If you go to his house with gifts, he will probably block you at the door. won't let you in. But—"

As soon as Ye Ming heard him say "but—", he asked impatiently, "but what? Is there any other way?"

Zhang Lingzhi said: "I have been to Director Xiao's house several times, and the only gift he accepted from me was a toy for his son. Therefore, I guess: because Director Xiao is more guilty of his son, he is also very sorry. I feel sorry for his son and just want to make him happy and happy. Therefore, as long as the toy or children's food that the customer buys for his son is not too expensive, he should not refuse. I suggest that if you must If you want to bring some gifts to Director Xiao, go and buy some toys for his son or some food that the child likes to eat!"

Ye Ming said happily: "That's exactly what I thought, thank you County Magistrate Zhang for reminding me!"

So, before going to Xiao Jin's house, Ye Ming went to a supermarket and bought a relatively advanced electric remote control airplane model, an Ultraman toy that can fight automatically, and also bought some "Langwei Xian" that children love to eat , "Want Want Snow Cake" and other snacks, followed Zhang Lingzhi to Xiao Jin's doorstep.
