Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Mom, I beg you -"

Banggeng's voice contained three parts pleading, three parts willfulness, and a score of ninety-four points.

Qin Huairu only had a feather duster in her hand, which she held upside down.

Needless to say, the children in Sijiu City have psychological shadow over this thing.

When you find your mother holding it like this, just run away, like a stray dog.

"You can't do this to me-"

Banggeng didn't feel any sadness in his heart, he just howled with his voice, and there was too much emotion missing from his words begging for mercy.

On the contrary, he said plausibly: "You know my academic performance!"

"Why do you think you have expectations for me on a whim?"

"Ah, should I give up on you if we co-write?"

Qin Huairu swung the feather duster and wanted to slap him, but her son was holding her hands and she could not hit him.

"You are self-destructive and uneducated. Do you want to make me angry to death? You——"

"Oops——"

Jia Zhang, who followed him out, wanted to persuade her but didn't dare. She wanted to go back but couldn't bear to have her eldest grandson beaten.

Since Qin Huairu became a cadre, her family status has declined significantly.

Even after Bangge made money raising chickens, the decline became even more severe.

So she didn't dare to snatch the feather duster from Qin Huairu's hand, let alone pull the stick.

You can only stand aside and use words such as "Oh, take a look", "Don't mention it", etc. to build momentum.

If his mother hadn't been watching, Banggeng would have really wanted to say something to his grandma, if you weren't here, my mother would have stopped beating me long ago.

Just because of your words, she took out her anger on me——

Banggeng thought so, and of course he didn't dare to say it clearly at this time, otherwise his mother would beat him even more if she lost face.

Grandma felt that her mother had become stricter after becoming a cadre, and he felt more deeply.

Because his grandma used to pull him when he got into trouble, but now he doesn't even dare to run away, and the beating would be even worse.

So as soon as Li Xuewu entered the hospital, he saw the big-faced cat pouting its butt, and backing away from his mother as if they were joining hands in a yangko dance.

We are almost at the Chuihua Gate. Did we get here from the Central Courtyard?

"What is this for?"

Yu Li passed by the outer courtyard and was about to return to the east courtyard. She was standing outside the hanging flower door and greeted with a smile: "Are you two practicing wrestling?"

"Ouch! The savior is here——"

Banggeng let go of his mother's hand, jumped and hid behind Uncle Wu, and said loudly: "Uncle Wu, please help us!"

"Okay, I've never seen a hero who's afraid of feather dusters -"

Li Xuewu picked up the big-faced cat behind him in a funny way. Seeing that Qin Huairu wanted to take action, he nodded and said, "Come on, you are such a kid, and you still fight!"

"Will he be able to regain his temper if he doesn't hit him?"

Qin Huairu glared at her son with hatred and scolded him: "I worked hard to support him in school, and he came back with a score of ninety-four!"

"Hey! Sister Qin, you are so proud!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be funny and said: "I didn't even say I would get a score of 94 when I was in school!"

He lowered his head and looked at Banggeng and asked: "Okay, boy, you are studying secretly, right? Which course are these grades for?"

"Uh-Uncle Wu-"

Banggeng looked at his mother's angry face in embarrassment and wanted to hide behind him.

But after being beaten to the point of collapse by Uncle Wu, and seeing that his mother didn't say anything and only stared at him, he knew that he wouldn't be beaten.

So now he hesitated and said: "It's not which course... it's... it's the total score..."

"What the hell? Total score is ninety-four?"

Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment when he heard the score. He looked at the big-faced cat standing next to him with his head lowered and asked, "Did you miss the exam in a few courses?"

"Uncle Wu——"

The big-faced cat raised its head speechlessly, looked at him and complained: "I asked you to save my life, not to dig my grave..."

"Then I really can't save you -"

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, pushed the big-faced cat out, and said to Qin Huairu: "I beat him with a feather duster but it still didn't work out, so I tied him to a post and whipped him with a belt. It still hurts even if I can't beat him..."

"ah--"

Banggeng turned pale with fright and looked at his mother with pleading eyes. Now he knew he was scared.

There is no hope. The only person in this courtyard who can save him is Uncle Wu.

Now even Uncle Wu was shocked by his test results, who else could he count on.

Why don't you just kneel down here, children of Jianghu, you can't fight anymore if you kneel down.

"I'll use you to come up with ideas——"

Yu Li couldn't stand it anymore, so she came over and pushed Li Xuewu, and pulled the big-faced cat up.

"Look, your mother is so angry. If she didn't expect you to get ahead, why would she care about you like this?"

"I also want to do well in the exam, but..."

Banggeng wanted to explain, secretly glanced at his mother's cold face, and then suppressed his words.

Forget it, a man can bend and stretch.

He's at the right time now. He doesn't remember the beating he received yesterday. The more he's beaten, the more he's getting skinny.

How can a half-grown child not have a rebellious mentality? It's just that these days, parents basically don't care about their children, and free-range ones don't react that much.

"With these grades, I will be in the first grade of junior high school next semester. How can I study?"

Qin Huairu was furious, pointing at the stick and scolding: "Even if you can't pass the high school exam, you have to pass the exam and get into the factory, right?"

"Okay, Sister Qin, it's late at night."

Yu Li and Qin Huairu have a special relationship of sharing the same porridge and chicken, so there is no way they can be in a stalemate here.

She took the initiative to hug Banggeng and walked out, saying to Qin Huairu: "I'm looking for you, come on, let's go to my room and sit for a while."

Qin Huairu stood there and looked at the aggrieved Banggeng, and knew that making a scene in the yard at night would make people laugh.

If she wasn't really anxious and angry, she would never be willing to beat the child in public.

Just as Li Xuewu said, they are all half-grown boys, and they have reached the age of face.

But she is busy, and her mother-in-law is ignorant. If she really lets the child go on, he won't even be able to finish junior high school. How can she be worthy of Jia Dongxu?

Even if the child grows up and suffers, he will blame her as a mother for not caring about the child.

Yes, Banggeng has caught up with the good times. The Red Star Factory runs a school, from primary school to junior college, and as long as he passes the exam, he can go.

But the problem is that he must have a decent grade. He got 94 points in four courses, which is embarrassing to say.

"Go, let's have a good chat--"

Li Xuewu nodded, and saw that Yu Lidu had passed the Chuihua Gate with the stick, but Qin Huairu was still standing there angry.

He took the initiative to give her a way out and said, "It's no big deal. How can you discipline a child in one day?"

"Be more patient. The little boy at this time is just at the time when his self-esteem is too strong."

"Go, Huairu, I'll go home to see the two children."

Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to persuade her until this time. She pushed Qin Huairu, then sighed and walked home.

Qin Huairu let out a long breath, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you done with your work? Are you leaving on Monday?"

"Don't worry about me, just do your thing."

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at the feather duster in her hand, saying, "Don't use this thing, it will break again."

"I'm so angry--"

--

"Second brother, I have something urgent to find you."

Li Xuewu had dinner with Lou Yu at the club.

Yu Li was also there. The two of them came back together after dinner.

He said hello to his family when he passed by the front yard. Seeing Gu Ning playing with the children in the house, he went back to the backyard to read a book.

The third brother Li Xuecai hurriedly passed by the window and said this after entering the house.

He pointed to the chair by the wall and said, "Sit down and talk."

Li Xuecai knew his second brother's temper and habits very well. He was anxious at the moment, but he still sat down obediently.

Since his second brother came back, he has changed a lot.

He is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. He has become mature, stable, diligent and studious.

Especially after becoming a cadre, he has become more calm and generous, and pays attention to being calm and composed when encountering things.

Li Xuewu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for his younger brother and handed it to him, indicating, "Xiaoxue just made it and brought it over."

"Second brother——"

Li Xuecai was about to speak, but when he saw his second brother indicating that he should drink tea, he suppressed his inner panic and drank a sip of hot tea.

"You are still young, I won't urge you to do Qi-nourishing exercises, but you are studying Chinese medicine after all."

Li Xuewu said in a very calm tone: "You are still in the learning stage now. What if you join the work in the future?"

"Are you still so clumsy?"

He looked at his brother and said: "There are all kinds of people in the hospital. It is easy to cause disputes. The leaders will not trust you if you are so impatient."

"I know, second brother--"

Li Xuecai drank a mouthful of hot tea, and was told by his second brother a few more words. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in his heart was relieved a little.

He responded sincerely, paused, and then explained: "I got home this afternoon. My father asked me to come back."

"Well--"

Li Xuewu nodded, motioning him to continue.

After get off work in the evening, Li Xuewu went home to pick up his mother and took a circle to the club. After dropping him off, Han Jiankun sent them here.

Li Xuecai went home, but he didn't know. He just told the window outside the house, and his family didn't mention it.

The capital was in turmoil for the past two months, and Li Xuecai almost got into trouble when he came back, so he asked his brother to go back to the mountain to hide and not come down unless necessary.

However, he did not mean to restrict his brother from going down the mountain, as young people are restless and cannot be stopped.

Li Xuecai is still sensible and obedient, and has been in the mountain for more than a month.

"Dad received the news, saying..."

Li Xuecai explained with a somewhat ugly face: "It is said that Zhao Xia died, and asked me to come back to help."

"Who? Zhao Xia?"

Li Xuewu frowned and confirmed: "Is it your classmate?"

"Yes, it's him, he fell from the building and died..."

Li Xuecai's mind, which had just settled down, became a little confused again, especially when he talked about the abnormal death of his classmate.

"Isn't he in the hospital?"

Li Xuewu frowned and asked, "You told me last time that one of his arms and legs was broken, and he jumped from the hospital building?"

"No, he was at home--"

Li Xuecai explained with a trembling voice: "I went to his house to help this afternoon, and I heard it."

"It seems that he was involved in something bad. In the past two days, a unit came to check on him."

"It can't be?"

Li Xuewu certainly knew what happened in the past two days, but he asked suspiciously: "He is like this--"

As he spoke, he described his arms and legs and asked: "How can he participate in this? He is disabled but strong-willed?"

"I heard that he went there on crutches--"

Li Xuecai explained with an absurd expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "His mother is about to cry to death."

"This is really——"

Li Xuewu knew how fierce the commotion was in the city, but he didn't expect that even someone of Zhao Xia's stature would get involved.

This is also a black humor, right?

When they went to the club at night, Zhao Laosi and Zuo Jie sent them out and said that many people were injured this time.

The veterans were making trouble, and the stubborn people took the opportunity to make trouble. It was very lively.

The Zhang Jianguo from Xinjiekou, whom he knew well, was injured, and it was quite serious.

Zhong Yuemin, who often came to the club entrance to wait for Zhou Xiaobai, was also injured. He said that he was trying to save Zhang Haiyang and was stabbed with a fork.

These were all narrated by Li Yuanchao when he came back, because he went out to play with Zuo Jie's "travel group" and escaped such a disaster.

The members of the Youth Club listened to the excitement in the city and were all grateful for Zuo Jie's care.

If they were really in the city, they would definitely be dragged into the disaster.

The point is that these people who made trouble did not have a good end, and the relevant departments have begun to investigate.

Li Xuewu only listened to the general situation and didn't pay attention to it. After all, it had nothing to do with him.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Xia, who was a disabled person, would also lose his life in this matter.

"I also heard other people's discussions," Li Xuecai said in a muffled voice: "It seems that he was afraid that this matter would involve his father, so he..."

"Otherwise, why do you say that you are inexperienced and just do impulsive things with passion."

Li Xuewu also sighed and said: "They are all children raised by their parents with great difficulty, and they are gone just like that."

"You said his mother is crying to death now, and his father is not happy to escape a disaster."

"He looks much older," Li Xuecai said hesitantly: "I went there, and his father patted my shoulder with tears in his eyes."

"I think of Zhao Xia when I see you . "

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "If Zhao Xia had been more careful than you, they wouldn't have gotten to this point today."

"This matter is not something they can participate in, let alone being chivalrous and serving the country and the people."

He took a sip from the teacup and said, "I never oppose you college students to be passionate and enthusiastic."

"But it should be used in the right place. The great heroes should also pay attention to a great one. You don't understand what is a great justice at all."

Looking at his brother sitting there, with confusion and sadness in his eyes, he also sighed.

Although he is not his own child, nor his brother.

And Zhao Xia had also tried to trick Li Xuecai and wanted to drag his brother into the water.

But after all, this was the first victim that Li Xuewu heard of in this matter, and it was the child of his father's colleague.

There was no sadness, only sighing.

Fortunately, Li Xuecai was sensible, and he was also a "wise man", otherwise, in this era, the Li family would have to suffer so much.

The Li family is still like this, what about others? ——

Early on Sunday morning, Li Xuewu and his younger brother Xuecai arrived at the family quarters of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital at around 4:30.

It is called a family quarters, but in fact it is a cadre quarters, and ordinary hospital employees cannot live there.

The last time Li Xuewu came was a long time ago. He came to visit Liu Zhixin, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, for the future of his father and his third brother Xuecai.

Of course, his father's supervisor, Zhao Xia's father Zhao Yufeng, was also the object of that visit.

It was precisely because of that visit that Lao Biaozi, who was in charge of the recycling station business at the time, was able to handle things and started the cooperation between the two parties.

The clinic located in Hongxing Factory was supported and built by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

The Chinese herbal medicine planting research base that cooperates with many parties is also located in Hongxing Village.

The mountains, including the current reclamation area of ​​Weisan Group, are all researching projects on Chinese herbal medicine planting.

Weisan Group has made money from growing grain and vegetables in the past two years, and has also planted the seeds of Chinese herbal medicine planting in advance.

There is a foundation of greenhouses, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has indeed recruited some Chinese herbal medicine researchers.

It has been more than two years. When Li Xuecai came back last time, he said that the Chinese herbal medicine varieties that have been proven to adapt to the growth environment will be officially rolled out next year.

The recycling station, Red Star Factory, Red Star Village, Chinese Medicine Hospital, and Wei San Tuan will all benefit from this project.

Of course, the Chinese Medicine Hospital has paid so much for this project and has effectively protected the good comrades in the hospital.

It is the hospital with the most complete personnel structure and management structure among the existing medical units in Beijing.

Medical forces can be withdrawn from the mountains at any time, and these medical forces can be withdrawn at any time for protection.

Therefore, multi-party cooperation benefits all parties.

Zhao Yufeng is selfish. When Li Xuewu proposed this project, he had already thought about the future.

Chinese medicine planting, research and development, pharmaceutical manufacturing, sales, etc. are all the most stringent components in the system.

If a complete set of Chinese medicine planting, production, and sales systems are really established, the plate of Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital will be huge.

Infinitely magnified, so big that even he can't eat it.

Therefore, when Li Xuewu proposed to arrange for his father and brother to go up the mountain to participate in this project, Zhao Yufeng decisively put his son Zhao Xia in as well.

Regardless of whether Zhao Xia has the ability and responsibility, he only hopes that his son can get some training and resume in this project.

Before graduation, before the school resumes classes, it is really rare to have such a good training opportunity and the guidance and teaching of so many professor-level and expert-level doctors.

Even a cunning person like Li Xuewu wants it, so how can he not see the good in it.

Zhao Yufeng really didn’t think highly of Li Shun before.

He praised him for being diligent, hardworking, and honest, but to be more specific, he was taciturn and had no social skills.

He just didn’t expect that Li Shun, who was like a marginal person, would give birth to three sons, and each of them was very capable.

As the vice president, he had to pay attention to Li Shun.

Similarly, Li Xuewu had a deeper impression of the brothers Li Xuewu and Li Xuecai, after all, they were very capable cadres.

The point is that Li Xuewu was very influential in the industrial sector and even had a certain reputation in the city.

As for Li Xuecai, he felt that his son Zhao Xia was more capable and had more potential than the third son of the Li family.

The third son of the Li family was a bit like Li Shun, while his son Zhao Xia was eloquent and smart, and he would definitely be the material for being the dean in the future.

As for Li Xuecai, at best, he was just a good doctor.

This stereotype and idea still held true for him until the middle of this year.

Even though his son Zhao Xia sneaked back from the mountain and refused to go up the mountain after being discovered by him, he still thought his son was smart.

In this period, it is true that those who can do are not as good as those who can speak, and those who can speak are not as good as those who can pretend.

Zhao Xia has been with him the longest and has the most opportunities to receive his education, so he has also developed a spirit of competence.

He must be very logical when he talks about the truth, and he has some personal insights when analyzing the situation.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.

Zhao Yufeng doted on this son, so Zhao Xia was unwilling to go to the mountain to suffer, so he wanted to keep his son by his side to learn from him.

Who would have thought that Zhao Xia, who stayed in the city, did not learn any skills, but got injured all over his body.

His arms and legs were broken, and his mother was so scared that she dared not let go anymore.

After more than two months of watching and caring for him, there was finally hope of recovery.

From being able to walk on crutches to walking briskly with crutches, the couple felt relieved.

But he did fly, and flew away from the hospital bed in an instant, and flew to the morgue bed.

This time, seeing their son lying there with his arms and legs out of shape, there was no possibility for him to stand up again, and the couple was in agony.

After all, his death was not very glorious, and the funeral was currently being presided over by Zhao Xia's second uncle and eldest brother.

The whole family discussed not to let Zhao Xia suffer any more because of this incident, and to bury him in peace as soon as possible.

So what happened the night before was stopped for a day on the second day, and sent for cremation on the morning of the third day.

Li Shun heard the news the next day, so he asked Li Xuecai to come back, and the two brothers came to attend the funeral on the morning of the third day.

After all, they were not relatives, let alone close friends, so Li Xuecai came to see him the next day, and Li Xuewu did not come that night.

Attending the funeral on the third day was both polite and respectable.

——

Entering the courtyard between the two buildings, you can see a mourning shed in the courtyard, with smoke and fire in the shed, which looked particularly strange on this summer morning.

Li Xuewu and his brother signed their father's and their own names on the white seat account book, then stood in front of the mourning shed and bowed slightly.

Zhao Xia's second uncle and eldest brother were greeted by the "busy man" to return the greeting. They had never met each other and really didn't know each other.

The "busy man" didn't know the two brothers either, but saw their names on the account book, asked them clearly and introduced them to the two.

Knowing that it was their father's relationship and that they were their brother's classmates, the two returned the greeting with sorrowful faces.

Li Xuewu gently raised his hand to decline and said condolences.

There was a funeral in this courtyard, whether it was passing by or upstairs, it was inevitable that someone would mutter that it was their own fault.

But when they came here, they had to say condolences.

Li Xuewu didn't need to come. He had no connection with Zhao Yufeng, let alone friendship.

It was just that his father was not at home, and his eldest brother had a bad temper. If you asked him to attend the wedding, he would stay away from the funeral.

Therefore, he had to bring his brother here, so that Li Xuecai would not have something he did not understand or could not do.

It was also a custom. A boy who was not married at home could not be considered an adult.

He could not represent the family to arrange and entertain outside.

If he was not representing his father, but was a classmate, Li Xuecai actually had no need to come.

Zhao Xia's death had nothing to do with Li Xuewu, so he did not need to bow and salute here.

But as I just said, he now represented his father and the Li family, and as an elder brother he had to take care of his younger brother.

Especially at this time, whether it was the factory or the recycling station, Xuecai came, and he could not pretend not to know.

Death is the greatest, bow and mourn.

"Deputy Director Li——"

Just as Li Xuewu politely declined the two people's cigarettes, Zhao Yufeng, who heard the news, walked over from the mourning shed.

Obviously, from the other party's staggering steps and sad expression, it can be seen that Zhao Yufeng has not had a good time these two days.

"Uncle, I'm so sad. Take care of yourself."

Li Xuewu took two steps forward, took the other's hands and held them tightly.

He whispered to comfort him: "Zhao Xia is too honest. I met him once a few months ago. I didn't expect..."

"Woo--"

The old man sent the young man away. This feeling is much more uncomfortable than the other way around.

Zhao Yufeng hunched his back, supported by his eldest son, and said with a sob voice: "I neglected to discipline him. I didn't act as a good father--"

"Dad, Dad, please don't do this."

His eldest son held him and saw that he was about to collapse on the ground. Someone from the mourning shed came to support him.

In Zhao Yufeng's opinion, Li Xuewu's coming here is not only a favor to Li Shun, but also a great favor to him.

In the units in the city now, how many people don't know the Red Star Factory, and how many people don't know Li Xuewu in the Red Star Factory.

If he died, Li Xuewu might not come, let alone his son, who was still in this situation.

Most of the people who came these days were relatives and close friends, and many relationships were hidden, fearing that they would be involved in karma.

Therefore, it was not easy for Li Xuewu to come.

He hadn't closed his eyes for three days, and now he heard that Li Xuewu was coming, so he had to come out to return the greeting.

This led to the current tossing.

Zhao Yufeng held Li Xuewu's hand, tears fell down, and he kept speaking vague words, and his eyes looked at Li Xuecai more.

He regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he would have locked his son in the mountain even if he had to use an iron chain.

Seeing that the third child of the Li family behaved in a proper manner and had a calm personality, he began to blame himself a little, and the more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt.

"Go, see if there is anything you can do."

Li Xuewu pushed his younger brother and told him to help in the mourning hall in front of the Zhao family.

At this time, everything that should be prepared was actually ready, and there was no need for Li Xuecai to help.

But Li Xuewu said this, which meant that he did not regard the Zhao family as an ordinary relationship, but as a close family.

At this time, Li Xuewu's words were a timely help to their family, and they felt much more relieved.

Li Xuewu pulled Zhao Yufeng to sit on the bench brought by the busy man, and comforted him softly.

Zhao Xia's eldest brother stood aside and introduced the situation of the past two days.

He should have heard the name his father called him when he came out, and knew that the young man in front of him was extraordinary.

Compared with Zhao Xia, his eldest brother had a simple and honest side, and was very respectful and polite to Li Xuewu.

Especially after hearing Li Xuewu's explanation, he did not regard Li Xuewu as an outsider.

When he mentioned that his mother fainted twice in the mourning hall, he also shed tears.

What could Li Xuewu persuade? He just repeated a few words over and over again. The Zhao family members could not listen to other consolations at this time.

They arrived here at 4:30, and the funeral started at 5:00. Li Xuewu and his brother only sent them to the gate.

After waiting for all the Zhao family members to get on the car and go to the crematorium, there were only busy people in the yard. He and his brother left like everyone else.

Young life, a sigh.

——

Li Xuewu was still in Beijing on Sunday, and he had arrived in the steel city on Monday night.

It was still the old train station, nothing had changed.

Only the propaganda slogans on the wall had been changed a few times, and the thick paste printed on them reflected a strange white in the night light.

"The Northeast is cooler than Beijing!"

Jing Yunong wore a women's executive suit, a white shirt and black pants, and high-heeled sandals, which made her look prettier than the female comrades traveling with her.

She is thirty-four years old, her child is ten years old, and her figure has not changed at all. She is no worse than a young girl when she stands there, and her temperament is even better.

Li Xuewu glanced at his watch and replied with a smile: "It's September now, even in Beijing, it will be hot for a few days."

"Deputy Director Jing, Deputy Director Li——"

On the platform, Yang Zongfang, deputy director of Gangcheng Steel Plant, and Cen Fuyao, deputy director of the Steel Plant and director of the Joint Industrial Management Office, saw them getting off the car and walked over to greet them.

"Just send a car, and trouble you to pick me up at the station."

Jing Yunong shook hands with the two and smiled in response.

"Director Dong is in Fengcheng now and can't come back," Yang Zongfang smiled and nodded to Li Xuewu, then explained to Jing Yunong: "He entrusted us to do a good job of receiving you and Deputy Director Li."

"Why are we so polite to each other?"

Jing Yunong smiled and criticized, and at the signal of the two, he walked to the car with the researchers and asked: "Comrade Wenxue is going to attend the provincial industrial conference?"

Two sedans and one bus, a reception arrangement in the style of Red Star Factory.

Jing Yunong asked Li Xuewu to get on the front car, slightly disrupting the arrangement of the steel mill.

"I'll go to the back car--"

Yang Zongfang took the initiative to say hello to Cen Fuyao, indicating that he should accompany the leader to sit in the co-pilot.

It is face-saving to be able to report to the leader in the back seat, but who asked the leader to ask Deputy Director Li to get in the first car.

Now the secretary can only go to the back, and Cen Fuyao can accompany the report in the co-pilot.

There are still many people on the platform at this time, and the vehicle should not stay for a long time.

So everyone got on the car quickly and left quickly under the command of the railway duty officer.

"Director Dong will be back tomorrow morning. It's the provincial industrial association."

After the car started, Cen Fuyao turned around and reported: "I should be able to catch up with you to have breakfast."

"Don't be so anxious, just come to see."

Jing Yunong said with a friendly smile: "Talk to Comrade Wenxue, just catch up with lunch."

"Hahaha, OK," Cen Fuyao saw that the leader had a good attitude, he also smiled and replied: "I will definitely convey your instructions."

Listening to Cen Fuyao's introduction, the three cars drove all the way from Gangcheng Railway Station back to the steel mill.

Gangcheng Railway Station has not changed much, but Gangcheng Steel Mill has changed a lot, too much.

The original walls have become inner walls, and the surrounding land has basically been absorbed by the steel mill.

Because the construction of industrial projects has not been completed, and some projects are still in the planning stage.

So the fence here has not been built yet, but the range of the lighting for nighttime construction shows how big this place is.

Jing Yunong hurried past here a few days ago and did not have time to take a closer look.

With Cen Fuyao's introduction and explanation, the two had some understanding of the current construction progress and industrial production situation.

"Did Director Cen come to Gangcheng last year or the year before last?"

When the car entered the factory area and Cen Fuyao's introduction came to an end, Jing Yunong suddenly asked this question.

Cen Fuyao tightened the string in his mind, thinking about the purpose of the leader's question, and replied: "I arrived in Gangcheng in March last year, leader."

He smiled and introduced: "Deputy Director Yang came the year before last, more than half a year earlier than me."

"Oh, is that so-"

Jing Yunong nodded thoughtfully, turned to Li Xuewu and asked: "Is it the case you handled?"

Hearing the leader's words take such a turn, Cen Fuyao's heart was about to jump to his throat.

What does this mean?

Don't think everything is fine just because the leader got off the train with a good attitude and spoke in a friendly manner.

He said that he asked Director Dong not to rush back, but he didn't believe in such politeness.

If Jing Yunong came to Gangcheng alone, he would still think it was nothing.

But Li Xuewu came with him, do you think the place where the tiger of the security department went to is good?

Last time he came to Gangcheng, he arrested two people together, and went to Yingcheng to kill several more.

You can say that Li Xuewu is the deputy director of the management committee office, or the first deputy leader of the security team, or the deputy political commissar and deputy leader of the Wei San Regiment.

But when he goes down, Li Xuewu's identities will not be put first, and the identity of the person in charge of discipline and supervision is the most frightening.

His current identity is too complicated, and you can't figure out what he is here for.

It's okay to do business and coordination, but if he really comes to enforce organizational discipline, then it's over.

So, when Jing Yunong asked this question, Cen Fuyao's palms began to sweat.

"Haha, how long ago was it? Do you still remember?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and pointed to the direction of the co-pilot and said, "Director Cen may not remember it."

"Haha——"

Cen Fuyao's sweat fell from his head. He asked why Yang Zongfang, that bastard, didn't compete with him for the co-pilot position.

Originally, he thought that Yang Zongfang had a bad relationship with Li Xuewu because of the past, so he was unwilling to move forward.

Unexpectedly, this man and woman were so difficult to treat.

Listen to what they are talking about.

Jing Yunong talked about the past, and you said yes or no, but why are you talking about me!

I am as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. I am a good person!

You ask me this now, how should I answer?

If I say I don't remember, then I am lying with my eyes open. Who in the Red Star Factory doesn't remember this case?

If I say I remember, are you deliberately trying to hit me?

Don't you find out something about me?

Cen Fuyao forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and turned around and said, "How could I forget? This is a historical lesson that all the workers in the steel mill must remember."

"The alarm bells are ringing--"

When the car arrived at the door of the guesthouse, Jing Yunong said this, and got out of the car with the help of his secretary.

Cen Fuyao looked at Li Xuewu in panic, trying to get some useful information, but was patted on the shoulder by Li Xuewu's hand from behind.

No, brother, are you here to deal with me?

Indeed, if you are here to deal with him, it seems that you have to come with such a lineup... I am going to scare myself...

He got out of the car with a somewhat stiff face, and followed Li Xuewu slowly, and his words were no longer sharp.

"Knowing that the train would arrive at this time, I didn't prepare a very sumptuous dinner."

Yang Zongfang got off the car behind him, walked a few steps to Jing Yunong's side, and reported: "Have a simple midnight snack to avoid being hungry at night."

"Since it has been prepared, don't waste the comrades' kindness."

Jing Yunong smiled, said something to Li Xuewu, and went to the lobby of the guesthouse.

Yang Zongfang glanced at Li Xuewu and hurriedly followed him.

Li Xuewu stood at the bottom of the steps and explained a few words to the research team. He watched them carrying their luggage and asked the service staff of the guesthouse to help store it temporarily.

"Leader, it seems that Deputy Director Jing means..."

Cen Fuyao followed Li Xuewu inside and asked in a low voice: "Are you unhappy because of the last incident?"

"Don't think too much--"

Li Xuewu walked into the lobby and walked to the restaurant naturally, comforting him: "It's just a normal research."

He has been to this place many times and is very familiar with it.

The research team left their luggage in the rest area under the guidance of the waiter and walked to the restaurant together.

Unlike the trip to Yingcheng and Jinmen, Jing Yunong brought only seven or eight people this time, which was a light trip.

Because there were few people, there was no separate table, and everyone sat down at a large table.

You heard Yang Zongfang say that it was simple to prepare, but once it was served, you knew it was definitely not simple.

Ten people and eight dishes, the staple food was rice and steamed buns, and the meal at nine o'clock, can you say it's simple?

Jing Yunong didn't say anything, and even drank the glass of wine that Yang Zongfang poured for her.

She was the leader of the team, and she was the first to raise her glass and let everyone else.

There were no small cups the size of a thumb in Sichuan Province on the dining table in Gangcheng. Basically, there were cups of one or two liang.

One liang was rare, after all, it was too troublesome to keep refilling the wine.

Jing Yunong finished three rounds of two liang cups in less than five minutes. She was really a heroine.

After the polite greetings, she stopped drinking, and no one else drank either.

So the meal was eaten very quickly. The two people in Gangcheng were nervous and kept observing each other's expressions.

But Jing Yunong ate calmly, and Li Xuewu ate casually, which made them even more confused.

Gangcheng now has a large business, including hardware, automobiles, weapons, chemistry, metallurgy, electronics, aircraft...

They had no idea what these two were doing, and this investigation did not give a clear attitude at all.

Compared with Li Xuewu's trips to Tianjin and Yingcheng, Zhuang Cangshu and Xu Sinian were well prepared, and now Gangcheng's team is really in a difficult situation.

During the dinner, they did talk about work. Li Xuewu asked the two what was the most difficult problem for the steel city industry at present.

The two gave the same answer, which was energy.

To be more specific, it was electricity. Several industries in the steel city cannot do without electricity and are large power consumers.

After getting this answer, Li Xuewu did not continue to ask. After finishing the meal, they were sent upstairs and did not communicate with them more.

But Deputy Director Jing couldn't sleep at night, so he came to talk to Li Xuewu again.

Really, it was just a simple chat on the chair, on the desk, and in the bathroom.

It was very simple, do you believe it?
