Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Seven

Guan Yeping and Fang Lan recall the past—send away adoptive father and adoptive mother—mother and son, husband and wife parting—people in Yinan County send their goodbyes spontaneously In the evening, Guan Yeping settled down Wang Youjin and his wife, and settled down his old mother. He was supposed to have a good night with his long-lost wife.But Guan Yeping didn't return to the room, he stood in the yard for a long time, his mind was tumbling, and his soul was strongly shocked again. For 41 years, he has pursued hard and kept making progress.A difficult childhood, the early death of his father, and the loss of his elder brother, this kind of mental blow has accompanied him for 37 years.

But I didn't expect the reunion of flesh and blood to be in an instant.The joys and sorrows, life experiences, and the ambitions and determinations he had established in his life were all repeated before his eyes. His mother's yearning gaze, Uncle Wang's and his wife's helpless eyes, Jiang Miao's remorse, his wife's trust... It was late at night, and he stood there silently.At some point, a woman walked up to him gently and put the old jacket on him. He subconsciously turned his head and said in a low voice, "Fang Lan, are you still awake?" "How can I sleep?"

"Yeah, you must not have expected this 'reunion' scene!" "I think this is probably life. People often say 'there is no feast that never ends'! Gathering today may leave tomorrow, life must die, and there must be part. This is the law of nature. Can't resist! You don't have to be sad about it!" "Fang Lan, do you think what I did was right or wrong? Are you like others, who detour when they see corruption, speak loudly at meetings, and close their eyes at times! Thunder is loud and rain is little! Turn a blind eye, Listen but not hear."

"That's not your Guan Yeping's character. I know you too well. Yeping, do you remember? 10 years ago, you hated the bad style in the officialdom. You once said that if you were allowed to be a county party committee member Secretary, you must make a 'private visit', turn yourself into an ordinary person, go to the countryside for a few days, and then suddenly come to the county government office, pretending to be a foreigner doing business, and see what the work style of the office is like. The masses What are you thinking, and what are your evaluations of leaders at all levels. Your long-cherished wish has finally come true! Aren't you happy for your actions?"

"Yes! Today, I became the secretary of the municipal party committee, which is much bigger than the secretary of the county party committee. In all fairness, this power is indeed too great. Excessive power without a restrictive mechanism is not a good thing!" "Yes! This is probably an extension of the traditional thinking of China's feudal society for thousands of years. The words of the feudal emperor are called 'Jinkou Yuyan'. A little emperor, even an ignorant child, made those old officials kneel down and shout Long live! Absurd, too absurd, this cult of personality is shameful! There are some departmental leaders in the province. It is not difficult for the masses to say that the leader is half a word. How can there be any democracy! How worrying!"

"Fang Lan, do you think I'm going too far, and I can't even let my own brother go?" Wan Lan smiled and didn't answer, she pulled him and said, "Go back to sleep!" Guan Yeping followed Fang Lan back to the room. Fang Lan hugged Guan Yeping's neck tightly, and snuggled into his arms tenderly. "Yeping, do you miss me?" "I want to, but most of the time I'm thinking about problems. But I often think of you when I have insomnia at night, think of our love life, and whenever I think of those past events, I am very excited! Very excited!" Guan Yeping said, deeply Kiss her deeply.Then they made love, and he was so involved, so excited!And she cooperated with him so skillfully, for a long, long time, he was still in the quiet and sweet love.His wife was lying softly, like a soft beach...he was like a tired sailor, lying sweetly on this soft and gentle beach.

At dawn, Guan Yeping followed the original plan, and the county government still sent a car to take Wang Dengsheng's adoptive parents back to their hometown. Guan Yeping kept sending them to the main road. He held the hands of Uncle Wang and his wife and said: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I really didn't expect that we met on this occasion. I'm really sorry for you, but please understand me..." Wang Youjin said: "Son, don't talk about it. You are doing the right thing. If leaders at all levels can be like you, our country will have hope. Take your life and suffer it yourself! This world is conservative, and you have done evil things. , must be punished!"

Guan Yeping said: "Uncle and aunt, you treat me like your own son, and I will visit you." The car drove away, Guan Yeping stood there for a long time, silently seeing off Wang Youjin and his wife.After Guan Yeping came back, Fang Lan was already waiting at the door. He and Fang Lan came to his mother's room, and her mother was crying alone.yes!She always felt sorry for her eldest son, Xiaolai, and her dead husband.Xiao Lai was thrown away by her own hands. For more than 30 years, she has been thinking about her son all the time. She does not believe that her son will be gone, and she always feels that one day she will find him.Holding this desire, she spent day after day, month after month, year after year in anticipation.Unexpectedly, what was waiting was a sad parting!She had a premonition that there was no hope for this parting, and maybe there would never be a reunion in this life!

Guan Yeping sat next to his mother and said, "Mom, don't be sad, you should be happy that your eldest brother has been found!" Mother shook her head and said nothing. Guan Yeping said again: "Mom, after you and Fang Lan go back, stay at home for a while, and I will go back to see you in a few days." Fang Lan said: "Mom, after he's been busy for a while, he will go back to see you. Don't you always miss your granddaughter Guan Fang? You stay with us for a while longer." The mother said: "Since I saw your brother yesterday, my heart has been beating very hard, as if I stole something. I didn't sleep well all night! As soon as I closed my eyes, Xiao Laizi cried in the snowstorm shouting, shouting..."

Fang Lan held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, let's go back!" Mother said: "I want to take another look at Xiao Laizi!" Guan Yeping said: "Mom! Let's talk about it later! It can't work now. He committed a crime and there are rules." Guan Yeping rejected Lan Xiaoping's arrangement. Lan Xiaoping wanted to arrange a car to take his mother and Fang Lan back to the provincial capital, but Guan Yeping disagreed.Although Lan Xiaoping later said that some people in the county were going to the provincial capital for business and asked them to give them a ride, Guan Yeping still disagreed.Guan Yeping ordered a tricycle, asked his mother and Fang Lan to sit at the bus stop, and rode on his bicycle to follow.

He didn't return to the water conservancy guest house until the car drove away. Ge Yuncheng was already waiting for him. Ge Yuncheng asked: "Are they all gone?" "Let's go, all go! I should go too!" "That's right! It's time for you to take office. You've been 'disappeared' for nearly a month. This is a great feat!" "Yuncheng, these days, why haven't you talked to me about things in the city?" "I want you to listen to everyone's opinions before going out to the masses. My opinions are just my own." "Okay, you're joining my army!" Guan Yeping laughed. "When are you going to leave?" "afternoon." "Is there a meeting here, can you talk about it?" "What kind of meeting? I don't have anything to say. With you here, I think everything will go well. The case must be classified as soon as possible so that it can be transferred to the court for trial. In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the county, township, bureau The mood of the team. The deployment of cadres must be safe." Guan Yeping said. "Comrade Lan Xiaoping already has a plan." "About Yun Binjian's question, has the leaker made any progress?" "It must be within us. I have narrowed the scope down to a few people. Even I have key suspects. I am going to release a fake message this afternoon to see how he reacts. Only when the evidence is captured can we make a positive judgment .” At this moment, Lan Xiaoping came in, and he said, "Secretary Guan, those two masked men have been arrested. They were bribed by You Binjian." Ge Yuncheng said: "Alright, you hypocrite! Xiaoping, Secretary Guan is going to leave." Lan Xiaoping was a little surprised and said, "Why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Ge Yuncheng said: "He, the secretary of the municipal party committee, has been 'disappeared' for such a long time, and it's time for him to take office. The problems here have generally bottomed out, and the next step is up to you!" Lan Xiaoping said: "Let's see him off!" Guan Yeping waved his hands and said, "Everything is free, all complicated philosophies must be eliminated." In the afternoon, Guan Yeping was still wearing the old clothes, still carrying the plastic bag, and accompanied by Lan Xiaoping, Ge Yuncheng, and Gao Yijian, he walked towards the bus stop. However, both sides of the street are already crowded with many people.Guan Yeping didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" A man said: "I heard that the secretary of the municipal party committee is leaving. Everyone wants to see him and send him off!" "Who said that?" Ge Yuncheng and Gao Yijian looked at Lan Xiaoping, all three were dumbfounded. At this time, a man ran out from the crowd, ran towards Guan Yeping, and said loudly: "Secretary Guan, you really have to leave!" Guan Yeping shook his hand and said, "Old Dong, who said that!" Old Dong said: "I don't know, the public has spread the word." As soon as people heard that Secretary Guan was coming, they gathered around one after another.Lan Xiaoping and Ge Yuncheng. Gao Yijian hurriedly stopped in front.But there were more and more people, and Guan Yeping was already surrounded. Lan Xiaoping said loudly: "Folks, please don't crowd. Please retreat to both sides of the street. Secretary Guan will visit you." Old Dong said loudly: "Wei Qingquan, Li Bai, and Qin Gang, help maintain order and let everyone stand on both sides of the street. Secretary Guan can take a good look at everyone." People walked to both sides of the street one after another. Accompanied by Lan Xiaoping, Ge Yuncheng, and Gao Yijian, Guan Yeping walked slowly in the middle of the street, waving to the crowd. It was almost at the station, and the crowd followed behind until Guan Yeping got into the car. People were still standing on the side of the road, and the car started slowly. Guan Yeping stretched out his hand from the window, waving and shouting: "Goodbye!" ...." At this time, he saw Bi Shengcai standing in the crowd with the child in his arms, tears streaming down his cheeky face.Tao Xiuling and her father waved to him with tears in their eyes. The girl's fair cheeks were rosy, she was a beautiful girl. The car has turned out of the street and is rushing towards the highway, but the people still haven't left, some wave their hands, some take off their clothes and swing desperately.Some people wiped their tears and reluctantly watched the cars gradually leaving in the distance.
