225. Is Lao Sheng the new provincial party secretary?
"Chief, this is not possible!" When the driver Lao Xiang heard Sheng Shijie say he wanted to leave him alone and go with Xiao Chen alone, he became anxious and showed a high degree of political awareness.
Sheng Shijie's face immediately became cold and unprecedentedly stern: "Xiao Xiang, obey unconditionally!"
Lao Xiang couldn't help but feel stern in his heart, "Yes!"
He immediately escorted Sheng Shijie to the back row of Chen Guobin's car, with a very sincere look: "Xiao Chen, please give me."
Chen Guobin nodded lightly and firmly: "In Lining, as long as I am still here, I guarantee that Lao Sheng will not have any trouble..."
Jetta was running south along Provincial Highway 233, and the car seemed particularly quiet. Chen Guobin did not speak rashly, and disturbed Sheng Shijie, who seemed to be indulging in the past and perhaps being excited and frightened by the upcoming meeting. In fact, Chen Guobin himself also had a lot of feelings and didn't want to say anything now.
It was a coincidence that the Xiaofang that Sheng Shijie was looking for, Chen Guobin met half a year ago, but her current name is Qin Fang. She is a teacher in Xiaosha Village Primary School and is one of the only two teachers there. At that time, Chen Guobin happened to visit the remote place deep in the mountain nest and saw all kinds of sad situations. However, what really touched him was that Teacher Qin took root there for more than 20 years and devoted all the brightest youth of a woman there. Since Chen Guobin encountered such a rare shining point of human nature, he had nothing to say, so he went back and called the Sunshine Fund and asked to build a high-quality new school for Xiaosha Village in the shortest time, and at the same time, he built more than ten kilometers of cement roads from the town to the village.
He was very moved by Teacher Qin's deeds, but he had never studied the story behind it at that time, and I believe she would not want to tell it.
Chen Guobin did not expect that the person Sheng Shijie was looking for was Qin Fang. He did not explain more to Sheng Shijie, but only said that Qin Fang was a teacher and did not say whether he got married or had children. It was not that he wanted to keep it in a silence, but that he really didn't want to say it, and he was in a heavy mood. Chen Guobin wanted to see how Sheng Shijie would face such a situation.
About 40 kilometers south along National Highway 233 is Jiangyue Town. Chen Guobin turned left and turned to the rural road leading to Xiaosha Village, which had turned into a cement road. Last time he came, it was a messy mud road. Although the road surface was still narrow, there was a world of difference.
"Xiao Chen, are you so familiar with this place?" Sheng Shijie in the back row finally spoke.
"I went to Xiaosha Village once half a year ago." Chen Guobin sighed lightly, "At that time, this road was still a dirt road, and finally changed."
Sheng Shijie moved his lips and wanted to ask about some things, but he didn't say anything after all. He felt a little nervous and even scared, although he was still sitting upright, his face was calm.
Chen Guobin occasionally glanced through the rearview mirror and understood clearly that he would not be polite when he should be despised, but he would be serious when he should be serious. Since Sheng Shijie has climbed to such a height, he is no longer an ordinary person and will definitely lose a lot in essence. Although he can occasionally show a little bit of a human temperament like what Maggie Zhou said, Chen Guobin does not think that this is a human temperament. If you deal with such a person in depth, you will have to be more careful and no longer as simple as a passerby when you meet by chance. Especially when Sheng Shijie is expected to enter Nanhu, it is even more so. If you are not in Nanhu, you can be more relaxed.
Without Chen Guobin saying much, Sheng Shijie could clearly see the poverty along the way. The deeper the winding and uneven concrete road, the more he walked, the more he was like this. Sheng Shijie finally had a little tears in his eyes. He was not crying for the people here, but for a woman here.
Several dilapidated classrooms have disappeared, and instead they have been built a new three-story teaching building. There is also a wall outside. The big words "Fangyue Primary School" are written above the school gate. This was what Chen Guobin strongly requested at that time. Now this school is the best building in the village. Although it is not very large, it costs 500,000 yuan. Chen Guobin directly transferred the money to the Sunshine Fund account for special funds. Even the construction team was sent directly from the provincial capital, without any moisture.
Chen Guobin stopped the car just before the school gate. He didn't want to drive in and disturb the children there.
"Lao Sheng, let's get off the bus here. Class is in there, and it will be disturbing when driving in."
"good!"
Getting off the car, Sheng Shijie looked up at the school name, suddenly became excited, and couldn't help but mutter: "Fangyue? Fangyue?" He remembered that Xiaofang liked the most back then.
Chen Guobin explained lightly from the side: "There are two teachers here. In addition to Teacher Qin Fang, the other one is her biological daughter, Qin Yue, who is 24 years old this year and was born in 1977." He said it very calmly, but his mood was not so easy to calm down. Some things are too obvious. Sheng Shijie, an educated youth, left in 1976. Frankly speaking, Chen Guobin had a grudge against Sheng Shijie.
"Oh..." Sheng Shijie said nothing, but felt that his eyes were blurred a lot. He inadvertently turned his head, wiped it off, and immediately returned to normal.
"Let's go in." Chen Guobin walked in first.
In addition to a basketball court, there are more games for children to play, such as slides, rockers, swings, etc. However, it was class at this time, and there was no one on the playground, and only the sound of reading aloud came from my ears.
Chen Guobin led Sheng Shijie to a classroom on the first floor where he was teaching.
Just outside the window, Sheng Shijie saw a young girl with a surprisingly similar appearance on the podium inside the house. His heart trembled suddenly and his body almost stood firm.
"Please read with me below..." Qin Yue looked at the textbook very seriously, with a gentle voice, and a slight slightest reading. Although the dozen or so children below read unevenly and had a very strong local accent, they were still shaking their heads in a very good manner.
Seeing Sheng Shijie fascinated, Chen Guobin left quietly. He went straight to the second floor and found Qin Fang who was in class in the voice studio. In comparison, 45-year-old Qin Fang was obviously not that slim, but she still had charm and had good skin.
When he accidentally saw his benefactor outside the door, Qin Fang hurriedly asked the children to learn from the recording equipment and quickly came out.
She looked surprised: "Xiao Chen, why are you here?" She knew nothing about someone looking for her.
"I happened to have time, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect that the change would be so big in half a year." Chen Guobin helped the corridor railing, looked outside, and sighed.
Qin Fang was right beside him, thanking him: "Thank you..."
"Stop talking about being a stranger." Chen Guobin interrupted her, "I have something to do when I come here today. There is a man named Sheng who wants to see you."
Qin Fang's body suddenly became fixed, and her eyes were blurred. She had been thinking deeply for so many days and nights, but this moment came suddenly, but she didn't know how to face it.
"No matter how many ups and downs there have been, at least he is brave today." Chen Guobin said softly: "Teacher Qin, regardless of love or hatred, go and meet. There are many helplessness in the world, and people also have many weaknesses. A single thought difference can easily lead to big mistakes. Don't be too upset about the past, follow your own heart."
Qin Fang turned around and nodded and choked: "Xiao Chen, thank you. Where is he?"
"Watching Xiaoyue's class..."
Sheng Shijie suddenly saw a figure at the entrance of the stairs, which seemed a little unfamiliar, but the expression on her face was so familiar, and the two tears were so eye-catching.
He staggered over, "Xiaofang, is it really you?"
“…”
Chen Guobin went downstairs from the other side of the stairs, quietly left the school, and sat in the car. He didn't want to see too much. In any case, this was not a comedy. Although a passionate hug could resolve Teacher Qin's years of longing for many years,... Chen Guobin was unwilling to evaluate anything, so it was difficult for him to evaluate himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Brother Chen——"
Before he knew it, it was noon. A crisp call outside the car window made Chen Guobin, who had been sleeping quietly for a while, wake up immediately. He smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, is the class over?"
Qin Yue nodded, but looked a little depressed and at a loss.
Chen Guobin got out of the car immediately and enthusiastically suggested: "Let's go for a walk by the river..." He called Sheng Shijie and explained it so that Qin Fang would not worry.
Qin Yue followed him to the Qingqing River, and several unattended goats were greedily gnawing on the tender grass in the distance.
The two walked slowly.
Chen Guobin took a deep breath and comforted her emotions: "Xiaoyue, don't blame your mother. She gave birth to you so resolutely was for a persistent and simple belief. This is a great spirit and a noble instinct of a mother. Your mother is very happy today, and you should be happy for her, right?"
Qin Yue cried in a low voice and shook her head: "I won't blame my mother. Why is he just coming here now? My mother has been working too hard all these years."
"He is finally here." Chen Guobin sighed lightly, "No matter what kind of person he is now, at least at this moment, he is sincere. Let them enjoy this rare moment of happiness..."
Chen Guobin took Qin Yue for a noon and said a lot of comforting words, which finally calmed her down a lot.
In the afternoon, Chen Guobin took the initiative to replace Qin Fang and played a guest role as a teacher. Qin Fang and Sheng Shijie threw themselves into the arms of nature. I don’t know where they went, but that didn’t matter anymore.
Chen Guobin only knew that this day was probably the happiest thing for Qin Fang in these years, so she should let her enjoy it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After dinner, the four of them finally sat together.
Qin Yue lowered her head and just kept eating. Qin Fang was a little embarrassed, and Sheng Shijie didn't know what to say.
Chen Guobin helped to pick up food into Qin Yue’s bowl at the right time, "Xiaoyue, eat more food, don’t just eat, see how heavy you are now, and it will fall when the wind blows."
Qin Yue finally raised her head and responded obediently: "I know, Brother Chen." Her face suddenly became much brighter, which surprised the two people on the other side. She thought a lot.
That night, Chen Guobin also stayed at the school. The room here is still very sufficient. The county will send four more teachers to the school at the beginning of the next semester, and the school's enrollment scope will also be expanded to several neighboring villages.
The long night and the quiet mountain village environment made Chen Guobin think of many things. In contrast, he was very moved by his big block and even more chaotic things. Although the nature is different, there is no obvious difference in the form of expression...
"Shijie, I still want to stay here!" On the bed, Qin Fang firmly expressed her determination. She could feel that Sheng Shijie was definitely not an ordinary person now. "I was very happy to see you and see you are still fine."
"Xiaofang..." Sheng Shijie was sobbing and moved, with a firm look on his face: "I will come to see you often! But Xiaoyue should go out to continue studying."
"Well..." Qin Fang's body became softer, "I will persuade her..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, saying goodbye to Qin Fang and his daughter, Chen Guobin pulled Sheng Shijie to Lining County.
On the way, the two of them still haven't spoken for a long time and each has their own thoughts.
"Xiao Chen, do you think I'm too fucked?" Sheng Shijie suddenly asked.
Chen Guobin shook his head: "I am not qualified to evaluate you. I am very fucked myself. Perhaps only by going through more, understanding more, and making many mistakes in life can we truly mature. I hope that it is true maturity, not meritoriousness, at least when dealing with feelings, we must be sincere. The heavy problems left over from history, whether right or wrong, should be cleaned up and cherished more."
After pausing, he said earnestly: "Lao Sheng, we all have a lot to do to do so that we can get less fucked."
Sheng Shijie suddenly found that Comrade Chen's back had become much taller. He sighed sincerely: "Yes..." Sheng Shijie deeply remembered Chen Guobin's kindness to Qin Fang and his daughter and helping him find them. He believed that it was the true and beautiful nature of a person.
When he was about to reach the handover point, Sheng Shijie said lightly: "Xiao Chen, I will start a new job in a few days. I hope you don't have any ideas at that time, just like today. No matter what image I have in front of the stage, I am the real me now."
Chen Guobin nodded and smiled slightly: "This kind of experience is amazing. In fact, I am the real me now. When I am with Maggie Cheung, I still have to wear a little mask."
"Haha." Sheng Shijie was slightly stunned and smiled knowingly, "I believe that Lining will definitely become better with you two leaders."
"..." Chen Guobin laughed, feeling a little ashamed. Such a leader's vision is still too traitor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No, right? Puff--"
While waiting for the two aunts to make a big meal on the sofa, Maggie Zhou suddenly saw the headlines of Nanhu News broadcast, and suddenly saw Comrade Lao Sheng. Although her image had changed a lot from the time she saw it, she could recognize her turn into ashes. She immediately sprayed out a sip of water she had just drunk, and almost sprayed the lazy leader Chen next to her.
"Maggie, what are you doing?" Chen Guobin frowned immediately, rubbed his right hand against the part of the spray on his left arm, and curled his lips and disdained, "Have you seen it before?"
But Maggie Zhou wanted to cry: "Is Lao Sheng the new provincial party secretary?"
Chen Guobin shook his head and curled his lips: "Look at your promising prospects. Where did you go when you interrupted? Didn't you go to the top of the road and go one side? You're afraid of being furious!"
"Who said I'm afraid of him?" Zhou Mayu immediately straightened her chest, "If he dares to do things randomly, I dare to post big-character posters, saying that he has an old lover in Lining!"
Chen Guobin really doesn't know what to say about this elder sister Zhou. Of course, who dares to do whatever he wants to do to her will be rude. As for the political awareness of Zhou Da leader, Chen Da leader can still trust him. If he is not confused about major matters, he will naturally not use Lao Sheng's affairs as gossip in front of his girlfriends.
Seeing the hypocritical Secretary Sheng on TV who was presided over the meeting at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on TV, Chen Guobin couldn't help feeling a little complicated. He didn't have much hope if he could do it "just be like today."
