Today, New Year's Eve, Yang Zixuan and Jun Ru were waiting at the airport and asked Lao Liu to drive back to celebrate the New Year. The two of them were deeply in love when an untimely phone rang.

"Mayor, the investigation has cleared up the matter. There have been changes in the Propaganda Department." It was the Chinese New Year, and such a disturbing move really made me feel uneasy. Li Huan didn't know what Mayor Yang was doing in the provincial capital, but he saw

Song Jingcong and others had solemn expressions on their faces. They also knew that Yang Zixuan might have something important to do in the provincial capital, so they postponed the call until now.

"What kind of change?" Yang Zixuan frowned.

"Cui Likun had other ideas. This time Fan Qingli was taken down, it was his hands and feet." Li Huan did not expect that as soon as he moved, the Propaganda Department would no longer be able to give orders as before, and he was very angry, "It seems that something is going to happen."

Take care of him."

"Let's figure out his motives first. You decided to take Fan Qingli. If he dares to take it, it means two things. First, after you left the Propaganda Department, he found a new backer. Second, he wanted to eliminate your influence on the Propaganda Department.

Influence, forcing the veteran cadres who used to follow you to join the team again. No matter what, the iron barrel within the Propaganda Department is facing the possibility of splitting into two or three parts..."

Li Huan deeply agreed with Yang Zixuan's analysis and could only curse angrily, "Cui Likun is a pig. The original functional influence of the Propaganda Department in the party committee organization has begun to gradually weaken. In order to rotate power, it is better to have a Political and Legal Committee in charge of the Public Security Bureau, and to have dedicated cadres.

The vertical discipline inspection commission is not as loud as the organizational department in charge of cadres. It is only one line higher than the United Front Department. Now it is internally divided. I am afraid that some people in the party committee organization will not take the Propaganda Department seriously..."

Li Huan has worked in the Propaganda Department for many years. Now that he has just left, the Propaganda Department has been thrown into such troubled waters. He is really heartbroken.

"Could the new backer be Bai Dongshan..." Li Huan first thought about it. Then he thought it was impossible. Bai Dongshan couldn't convince Cui Likun yet. Besides, he didn't have the ability to push Cui Likun to the top. "It shouldn't be him.

…”

"He doesn't have such energy, ability, and ability to win over. I think it should be the handiwork of the Propaganda Minister in the province. Only he can give Cui Likun the confidence to challenge you. And if Cui Likun seeks the position of Propaganda Minister, Miao Yulong will go around.

It is not difficult for people who are ordinary people to travel to the provincial capital and get familiar with each other. And I believe that with Miao Yulong's thoughts, it is not strange to insert another nail of his own in Guangling..."

"That's strange. Things haven't been completed yet. There are still huge variables now, so I will jump out to challenge you and me. From what I know about Cui Likun's character, he is not such a reckless person." Li Huan still didn't expect it.

of delicate joints.

"It's easy to understand. Miao Yulong is not sure whether he can help him win this position. But at his level, he is not a fool. He always needs to get some "advance payment" from Cui Likun. Winning Fan Qingli is

Secondly, the most important thing is the attitude of openly challenging you. There is a certificate of surrender in Water Margin, and this is the certificate of surrender that Cui Likun handed to Lord Shantou..."

Yang Zixuan sneered, "Even if things don't work out and the position of the Propaganda Department cannot be taken, Cui Likun will stand on your opposite side and must adhere to Miao Yulong tightly, otherwise he will have no place to stand. This is Miao Yulong's method.

No money was spent. A verbal promise, or even a blank check, can fool a local official with real power..."

Although he didn't see it in person, it was not difficult for Yang Zixuan to recreate the entire scene. Li Huan praised, "No matter how hard Miao Yulong works, he can't hide it from you, the mayor..."

This flattery was timely, and Yang Zixuan was very useful, but he said, "You can't hide it from me, but I can't stop his offensive for the time being..."

"The mayor has gained a lot in the provincial capital, right? Are you going to go back to the capital for two days?" Li Huan disagreed. After following Yang Zixuan for so long, he knew Yang Zixuan's temperament and liked this strategy of hiding behind to eat tigers. He

I feel that Yang Zixuan should have got another good card this time when he went to the provincial capital.

"Provincial capital? In the provincial capital, I met a retired national leader and he is now heading back to the capital..."

When Li Huan first heard about "retired old national leader", he was shocked. Even Yang Zixuan could refuse Mr. Su's olive branch. This retired national leader could make Yang Zixuan run to the provincial capital.

, then I’m afraid the level is even more terrifying...

What kind of terrifying existence is this "mountain" that I follow?

In the beginning, he followed Yang Zixuan just because Yang Zixuan was young enough. He took a bet that Yang Zixuan would succeed Zhou Lichang as the municipal party committee secretary. Then he, as the propaganda minister, could be considered a leader and help him adjust to more core positions in other party committee standing committee members, such as executive director.

Deputy mayor or deputy secretary, these can be promoted to the position of the main office in one step...

However, later on, after Yang Zixuan showed more and more of his deep connections, he was no longer so eager for quick success and began to feel that Yang Zixuan's background might not be that simple.

Yang Zixuan didn't say anything, and Li Huan didn't ask, but knowing how powerful Yang Zixuan was made his previous depression clear up a lot. The stronger he is as a mountain master, the more promising his prospects will be...

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we took a plane to the capital. After leaving the airport, a severe cold hit our face. It was much colder than Guangling in South Suzhou. Jun Ru hid beside him, it was a bit cold. Yang Zixuan booked a hotel first.

After staying at the hotel, Yang Zixuan called Xu Jing to report that she was safe. There was a lot of noise there, and they were probably having fun. Yang Zixuan really liked this "understanding" girl. I used to think that Xu Jing might be jealous.

Big one, he didn't expect that after confirming the relationship, he would change someone else, which made him feel guilty and pitiful at the same time.

Jun Ru and I had a meal together at a nearby place and discussed how to spend New Year's Eve in the evening. Jun Ru suggested visiting the old house where he used to live...

"On New Year's Eve, we usually have to worship our ancestors." Yang Zixuan originally wanted to come back early and visit his parents' graves.

The two of them discussed together and started buying things for tomb sweeping separately...

Although it was very late, there were many people who came to pay homage, sweep the tomb, and pay homage to their ancestors. On New Year's Eve, Yang Zixuan and Jun Ru were wearing sunglasses and neatly and solemnly dressed. Jun Ru was following Yang Zixuan, carrying Ming coins, cigarettes and wine.

Behind us, we walked into Babaoshan together...

The depth of winter is bleak and the ground is covered with fallen leaves. The Babaoshan Cemetery also looks more solemn. As a well-known and high-standard garden-style cemetery in China, it is located at the foothills of the eastern part of the capital.

After turning a few intersections, I occasionally saw scattered people. According to memory, Yang Zixuan had been to this cemetery many times in the past. The Yang family’s ancestral home was Jiangzhou on the bank of the Dongjiang River in Lingnan. Jiangzhou always attached great importance to visiting tombs on New Year’s Eve. Yang Zixuan

I was worried that I would meet an old acquaintance, but I found that no one was in front of the tomb of my late father and mother, so I took Jun Ru's hand and walked over.

This is your first time here. You have stepped on the soft green land. The road is inlaid with porcelain tiles, and the cypresses are green...

A white tombstone stands in the cold wind. There is a black and white photo on the tombstone. A young couple. The man is sitting and the woman is standing tenderly behind him. The man is heroic and the woman is extremely beautiful and gentle.

.

Below the photo are the names of the man and woman: loving father Qiao Mu and mother Liu Lan. The characters are written in iron and painted with silver hooks, as if a lot of effort was used.

There is also an inscription under the tombstone, which contains a few sentences: Fight all your life. Be innocent all your life.

The signature is the name of a current big shot.

Even if Jun Ru doesn't care much about the high-level political situation, you are still familiar with this name. It appears in the news from time to time. He is one of the most popular leaders of the army. Although he is old and will inevitably retire after the change of leadership, he is now

The sun is at its peak. Peaches and plums are all over the world...

Jun Ru occasionally imagined what it would be like to come here, but when it really came to this point, she was also trembling with fear.

Any name that appears here can shock her...

"Fight for a lifetime. Be innocent for a lifetime..."

Yang Zixuan came here for the first time after regaining his new life. Touching the words on the inscription, he thought about his father's heroic appearance on the battlefield and how strong he was, and he couldn't help but burst into tears...

I am so jealous of talents. My father was already a division-level cadre during the counterattack against Vietnam. If he had survived to this day, his rocket speed would not be much worse than mine...

Yang Zixuan had no father or mother in his previous life. After integrating the memories of this life, he had already regarded them as his biological parents. Yang Zixuan, who rarely showed his emotions, suddenly opened up the chat box that he had accumulated for several years and told Jun Ru affectionately.

Recalling the hardships he endured in order to raise him, he sighed, "They all have too many things on their minds. Their children's affairs are all big things. Their parents have met many people, but in the end,

The ones you kiss are your own children..."

Although the mother passed away forever without ever meeting her, the two of them were buried together in the end.

Yang Zixuan picked up the tools and cleaned up the surrounding area of ​​the cemetery, the tombstones, and the pedestal with Jun Ru. He completed these tasks neatly and finished sweeping the tomb. He bowed three times to his father and mother under the high position, placed some tributes, and nodded.

Burn three sticks of incense and worship your father and mother...

"Dad, I came to see you. In the past, my son had no future and made you suffer a lot. But I promise that from now on, I will become a promising person and a person who is useful to the country and the people. I

I want to be your pride, I want you to be proud of your son, and I must be like you, dad, who fights all his life and is innocent all his life... I am your son and I will never embarrass you!"

As he spoke, his face was already filled with tears.

"Mom, although I have never seen you, I only saw your beautiful shadow in the photo. Did you see that the son you only met once has grown up and can be a useful person? In the future I will

I come to see you often and you won't be lonely. I have a girl with me. Her name is Liang Junru. She is a very good girl. She loves me more than her life. I also love her more than my life. I love her very much.

She, she loves me very much, do you feel satisfied..."

Jun Ru, who stood gracefully in the cold wind, felt excited when he heard this. He bowed slightly and said in a firm and affectionate tone, "Uncle, aunt, I will take good care of Zixuan on your behalf, for sure!"

After finishing their talk, Yang Zixuan and Jun Ru respectfully filled a pot of shochu, lit a cigarette that their father loved to smoke most during his lifetime, and presented it in front of the tomb...

In the ancient capital, the dusk was dark, the setting sun was like blood, and the sound of firecrackers rang out everywhere, breaking the desolation and tranquility.

Finally, Jun Ru presented a cluster of gardenias, while Yang Zixuan held a bunch of red roses. He knew that this was his mother's favorite flower during her lifetime. It was bright and bright. Just like her character, she dared to love and hate, and she never regretted it.

…

"Mom and Dad, let's go."

The two held hands and slowly walked away. Yang Zixuan talked to Jun Ru about the past of his parents, but Jun Ru slowly said, "There is another aunt..."

"I'll go there with you. She was too lonely by herself, so she wasn't buried here. She requested not to be buried here..."

Half an hour after the two left, two more tall girls walked in outside the door. The taller girl was wearing black pantyhose, a formal suit, and a burgundy scarf. Only half of her face was visible, and she didn't wear much makeup.

, but very fair skin and clear eyes, and the way he behaves

Her temperament all hints that she is a stunning beauty. There is another shorter girl, also about 1.68 meters tall. She is wearing a brown suit skirt, white elastic sneakers, and some light makeup, but it attracts many people's attention.

, each holding a bunch of flowers and other things...

"Connie, why are you here to visit the grave..."

A group of people walked out of the cemetery, and among them a tall and handsome man came over.

"It's that guy from the Lu family and his relatives..." Connie whispered in the ear of the girl next to her, "Let's go faster. We don't want to run into them."

The girl nodded and said nothing.

"Lu Wenquan, what's wrong?"

Connie said angrily. Unexpectedly, she was still blocked by this guy.

"Whose grave are you going to visit? Is this it?"
