Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

Sure enough, on the third day, Li Yiguang brought a group of people from the You County Party Committee Office.When Li Yiguang came, Chen Mo was still at work, and Li Yiguang called Chen Mo's desk.Li Yiguang said, Chen Mo, my mother is in the hospital and you are not in the hospital, what are you doing?Chen Mo knew that Li Yiguang must be in front of his mother's hospital bed.Chen Mo said, what else can I do, go to work, where are you?Li Yiguang said, I just heard about it from Lao Qi yesterday, and he is now in the hospital.Chen Mo said, it's such a trivial matter, and you have to work hard to do something. If you are so busy, don't come to see it.Li Yiguang said, look at what you said, whether you are free or not, come to the hospital and we will meet if you are free, and we will leave if you are not free.

Chen Mo quickly said that he is free.As he spoke, he tidied up the things on the desk, stood up, and prepared to leave.Long Yun who was sitting across from him raised his head and asked, Director Chen, you have been restless these past few days. Xiao Xiang said that once you asked him to take you to the hospital, did something happen at home, who was sick?If something happens, you should say something. After hearing this, Chen Mo's mind turned quickly, his thoughts suddenly turned a corner, and his original idea of ​​not letting the unit know suddenly changed.Chen Mo thinks that even if some people don’t visit, it will inevitably be embarrassing to meet them in the future, and the unit must know. There is also a way to say this. First, if no one in the unit visits his mother, the hospital bed is deserted, which makes him look like a son. I can't get along in the unit, and the deputy director is a coward, which will inevitably make Cui Min, Lao Qi and Li Yiguang laugh secretly; second, I have been working in the municipal committee office for half a year, although everyone greets me with a smile , but people’s hearts are separated by belly, who is really good to oneself, and who is coping with oneself, this bottom is really not clear, it is better to take this opportunity to find out, as the old saying goes, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of guarding against others.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo smiled at Long Yun, thank you little brother for your concern, there is indeed something wrong at home, my mother is sick and hospitalized, because everyone is busy, I never want everyone to know to worry, so even the driver Xiaoxiang sent me to the hospital, I didn't tell him either, I just said it was something. Long Yun stood up all of a sudden, and said, how can this work, you should have said about the old man's hospitalization earlier, I will report to Secretary-General Xiao and see how the leader arranges it.Chen Mo said, Secretary-General Xiao is so busy, he has to trouble him for a little thing, besides, my mother's illness is much better.Long Yun didn't listen to him, and went out to find Xiao Renfu next door.Chen Mo didn't stop him, but he was thinking in his heart that Long Yun was actually an enthusiastic person, but he was too conscious of acting when he did something.

Considering that the work unit must organize a visit to his mother, Chen Mo immediately picked up the phone and called Lao Qi, and the phone connected after only one ring.Chen Mo said, Seventh brother, where are you?Lao Qi said, I am on the mountain.Chen Mo knew that Lao Qi had gone to the mine. Over the years, more and more people went to the mine. People didn't say they were in the mine, but they said they were on the mountain.Lao Qi asked, Director Chen, what's the matter?Chen Mo said, it's nothing wrong, the Municipal Party Committee Office may organize everyone to go to the hospital to see my mother... Before he finished speaking, Lao Qi said, "No problem, I will call Su Fen immediately and tell them to evacuate."

Putting down the phone, Chen Mo felt relieved. If the work unit organizes everyone to visit the ward, it would not be a good thing to meet the waiters of Lao Qi Hotel. Unexpectedly, Lao Qi completely understood what he meant before he opened his mouth. Comprehension, I am afraid that it is not within the reach of ordinary people, if it is placed in the political world, I am afraid that it will be a new star in the officialdom. Thinking of this, Chen Mo was suddenly taken aback by himself. When did he become so vulgar, thinking about everything in his official career, it seems that official career is everything, what's the matter?Before he could think deeply, he heard footsteps outside the door, a figure flashed, and Xiao Renfu walked in.

Chen Mo, what kind of egg brother are you, playing the piano indiscriminately!Xiao Renfu said in an affectionate tone, half blaming and half joking, the old man is hospitalized, why are you keeping it so secret?If Long Yun hadn't said it out, wouldn't it be a mistake. Chen Mo smiled and said, Secretary-General Xiao, everyone is busy. Besides, my mother's illness is not a serious one, and she is about to be discharged from the hospital. Xiao Renfu said, that’s not how it was said. Chen Mo, we all work together and are colleagues. I have a saying. I don’t know if you agree or not. In ancient times, those who were officials in the same dynasty were called Tongpao. I feel that the ancients were more advanced in this respect than they are now. Some, what is the same robe, in fact, is only a little worse than the compatriots, this feeling cannot be ignored.

Chen Mo said, "Secretary Xiao, this is because I didn't think carefully. Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. At that time, I only thought about not affecting the work of comrades." Xiao Renfu said, how about this, I'll ask Xiao Xiang to see you off first, and we'll visit the old man afterwards. On the way to the hospital, Chen Mo couldn't help but fell into the thoughts just now. Sometimes, when he woke up in the middle of the night, Chen Mo would inevitably recall some things about himself in the past six months, and feel that his changes seemed to have disappeared without a trace. .Yes, even though he didn't want to admit it, a small deputy director of the Municipal Committee Office had already caused some irreversible changes in his heart.In the past, he was indeed willing to keep a low profile, but just the experience of his mother seeing a doctor made him understand that it is not necessary to be low-key in every way.If he had been more extroverted, as Lao Qi said, as long as he slightly exposed his identity as the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Mother would not have suffered so much.Different social status, the results are very different, the world is different, the society is such a reality, and the reality is so harsh.In such a harsh reality, individuals are so fragile and changeable.All these changes are actually the embodiment of the most instinctive adaptability of human beings and the basic ability of human beings to survive.

When they arrived at the ward, Li Yiguang and his entourage were all there. Chen Mo felt relieved when he saw that Shu Fang was there, and the old seven's people had all withdrawn. Now, it's all settled.As soon as Chen Mo entered the ward, he kept saying, Director Li, I am really sorry for your hard work.Li Yiguang said, what is this talking about? The old man is hospitalized. As juniors, we should be filial. The county party committee office is also your old den, Chen Mo. What is the family talking about?The people who came with Li Yiguang kept saying that we are all comrades in the trenches, so we should come.

Everyone was talking, the driver Xiaoxiang said to Chen Mo, Director Chen, let me pick up Secretary-General Xiao and the others, lest they can't find the ward.Said and left.Chen Mo said apologetically to Li Yiguang's group, "Look at my mother's illness has shocked me, and Secretary-General Xiao of the Municipal Party Committee and the others will come to visit soon. I'm really embarrassed to mobilize people like this." When the deputy directors of the Youxian County Party Committee heard that Secretary-General Xiao of the Municipal Party Committee was coming, they exchanged glances and prepared to avoid it.So they all said, Director Chen, let's go out for a walk.Li Yiguang was about to leave too, but Chen Mo held him back and said, what are you avoiding, old man? It's not that Secretary-General Xiao doesn't know you. We happened to be together today, and everyone worked hard for me. I want to invite everyone to have a meal together.

Li Yiguang also wanted to take the opportunity to establish a relationship with Xiao Renfu. Hearing what Chen Mo said, he went down the donkey and said, Secretary-General Xiao is my direct superior, and he usually has many contacts at work. , and also exchanged feelings with the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee Office, especially the deputy directors in charge of comprehensive information. Just as they were talking, Xiao Renfu and the others arrived. Long Yun walked behind, holding a big flower basket. He probably felt that he had made a contribution, and his face was a little red with excitement. As soon as he came in, he put the flower basket by the bedside, The flower baskets made stood together, and they walked steadily behind in the forward direction.Xiao Renfu saw Li Yiguang at a glance, and said, Director Li is here too?Li Yiguang said, Secretary-General Xiao is good. Director Chen Mo is from our office. His elderly is hospitalized. Our office should take a look.Xiao Renfu said, good, good.

Everyone chattered for a while, but there were not many words of condolence to the patients.Xiao Renfu didn't know Shu Fang. Seeing her busily delivering purified water and peeling fruits, he looked at Chen Mo with a smile and said, "Chen Mo, why don't you introduce this lesbian?"Chen Mo was not wary that Xiao Renfu would ask this suddenly, and he blushed unknowingly.It was Li Yiguang who came out to relieve the situation and said, Secretary-General, it's all my fault that I forgot to introduce. This is Shu Fang, deputy director of our office.Shu Fang hurriedly shouted, Hello, Secretary-General.Xiao Renfu said, good.Then he turned his head and said to Li Yiguang, I thought it was Chen Mo's target.Li Yiguang said, Secretary-General Xiao has good eyesight, you can see that the marriage is not bad, but I am afraid that Director Chen Mo will continue to work hard.Shu Fang blushed up to her neck when she spoke. Li Yiguang said, Secretary-General Xiao, when we came to the office this time, we came to play drums and pay New Year's greetings. The deputy directors in charge of general affairs and in charge of information are here.Please, Secretary-General Xiao, give us a chance to get in touch with the two offices of the city and county, and let the directors communicate with each other? Xiao Renfu laughed and said, the directors of all the counties said you, Li Yiguang, were cunning, and sure enough, you came to attack me.As he said that, he pulled Qianqian over and said, Director Xiang is in charge of information, if you want to submit a manuscript, you can just find him.With this smile, everyone laughed, and the distance drew closer. While talking and joking, Chen Mo found Cui Min's figure flashed at the door, and if he wanted to enter like that, he knew that Cui Min must have known Xiao Renfu was coming, and thought to himself, this guy is quite well informed.Thinking about it, he had an idea and shouted, Dean Cui, come in. Cui Min lingered outside the door for a long time, and was about to go in to meet Xiao Renfu. When he saw Chen Mo taking the initiative to greet him, he was overjoyed. Dian Dianer walked in and said to Xiao Renfu, Secretary-General Xiao, welcome to the hospital for inspection and guidance .Xiao Renfu's fat jaw moved, and he said, good.Seeing that he was not very enthusiastic, Cui Min leaned over to Chen Mo's mother and asked about his condition.He told Chen Mo that the operation was successful and the stitches could be removed the day after tomorrow.Chen Mo said, thank you, and told Xiao Renfu and Li Yiguang that it was thanks to Director Cui for taking care of the old man during his hospitalization.Cui Min repeatedly said that not enough was done, not enough was done.Then he said to Xiao Renfu, please criticize the secretary-general more.Xiao Renfu said, well, Director Chen praised you just now, Director Chen is the family member of the patient, his opinion is my opinion, and the patient is God. Cui Min was very happy and said, this is what it should be, what it should be.Then he said that it was rare for the secretary-general to come to our hospital to inspect the work today. Our hospital would like to invite the secretary-general and all the leaders to have a working meal. I wonder if everyone will appreciate it. Everyone looked at Xiao Renfu, and Li Yiguang hurriedly said, we have already made a decision, so don't change it. Xiao Renfu smiled and said, yes yes, don't change.He also said to Cui Min, Dean Cui, you don’t need it here, there will be opportunities in the future. Cui Minshun climbed up the pole and said, this is what the leader said. I really have something to report to the Secretary-General. The leaders are busy today. When you have time, I will report to you. Secretary-General, you can’t help Meet me. Xiao Renfu waved his hand and said, good, good. After Cui Min left, Li Yiguang proposed to go to dinner, Chen Mo said he would stay and take care of the elderly, Li Yiguang said, let Shu Fang stay.On the hospital bed, the mother also held Shu Fang's hand, and the mother and daughter were chatting happily. Hearing Li Yiguang's arrangement, Shu Fang also said, I'll stay, you can go at ease. Li Yiguang smiled and said to Shu Fang, Director Shu, this is a preview of being a daughter-in-law, it is an exam, you must get a high score. Everyone laughed, and Chen Mo glanced at Shu Fang with a smile, just meeting her eyes that were shining and full of affection.Chen Mo couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and his heart was filled with a sense of happiness, as if there wasn't even a single gap. Everyone got out of the inpatient department building and got into several cars outside. Xiao Renfu stuck his head out from the window of the passenger seat and waved to Li Yiguang's car, which meant that you should lead the way as a treat.Li Yiguang nodded, the small car slowly started moving ahead, and several cars followed each other and drove towards the rich man. Two hours into one meal and everyone was a little drunk.After the banquet was over, Qianqian called Chen Mo aside, and handed him an envelope, which contained a stack of banknotes and a note with his name written on it, which was collected by everyone in the office.Li Yiguang and the others did the same thing. Chen Mo did as the Romans did, and he didn't refuse too much. He thanked everyone and accepted it. After Xiao Renfu and the others came to visit their mother, some other clerks from the Municipal Committee Office also came, as did friends Liu Anbang and Fang Zhouzhi who usually play together.But Chen Mo still felt that something was missing.After calming down and thinking for a long time, I understand.Except for Secretary-General Xiao, none of the leaders at the city level came to visit the hospital.Other leaders don't talk about it, they are not so familiar with it, mainly because Cai Peng, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, did not come.
