The Sweetness of the Seventies

653

He Tiantian slept soundly. Huo Yingjie handed the child to Grandma Wang, returned to the study, wrote a manuscript and gave it to his father.

The time has come for my father to take a step further.

Today is a day off, and Huo Zhekun is drinking tea and reading.

"Why are you here?" Huo Zhekun asked. If nothing happened, his son would rather take care of the children than drink tea with him.

Huo Yingjie smiled, put a few pieces of manuscript paper on the stone table, and said: "This is what I wrote for you. You can read it yourself. It may be helpful to your work and career."

After saying that, Huo Yingjie sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Huo Zhekun didn't pay attention. He took it over and scanned it casually. He immediately sat up straight and studied it carefully as if he had obtained a treasure book.

Huo Zhekun was not willing to miss even the punctuation marks.

After a while, Huo Zhekun took his eyes away from the paper.

"Yingjie, did you write this?" Huo Zhekun asked. During this period, major decisions were discussed repeatedly, but no decision was made.

This article is to provide a solid theoretical basis for that important decision.

"Well, yes." Huo Yingjie agreed shamelessly. If he wanted to live a peaceful life in the future, he had to get his father to a high position, maybe his uncle too.

"This matter is too important. I dare not act rashly. I have to tell your grandfather." Huo Zhekun said, "I will take the train to Yanjing today."

"What if grandpa and uncle don't dare to send it up?" Huo Yingjie asked. If grandpa were ten years younger, he might still have ambitions, but now he can't.

As for the uncle, he also lacked a sense of vigor.

"I can see the annoyance in it. Your grandfather and uncle must be able to see it." Huo Zhekun said puzzledly. In his heart, his father and eldest brother were more powerful than him.

"Yes, they have lived in Yanjing for a long time and can see the mystery, but they don't have the courage to send it up." Huo Yingjie said, "Father, believe me, if my grandfather or uncle is not willing, you must send it up in your own name." ”

"What if..." Huo Zhekun hesitated.

"Father, wealth can be found in danger." Huo Yingjie said, "What's more, if it is really dangerous, I won't take it out. My grandfather is old and will ride a crane to the west sooner or later. If the uncle can't take another step, Only you can take over, father."

Huo Zhekun was stunned and remained silent for a long time. As a noble family in Yanjing, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Before, there was a father, and the eldest brother took the lead. It was smooth for him to work as an official outside. However, once his father was gone, the eldest brother also had his own children and grandchildren.

He needs to think carefully about the future.

He can't rely on his father and elder brother for protection all his life.

When he thinks of his son, and then of his lovely grandson and granddaughter, it seems that he really cannot be as enterprising as before.

"Okay, I'll go." Huo Zhekun said, "Anyway, your grandfather and uncle are still up there. Even if I send him out, nothing will happen."

Huo Zhekun didn't have time to say goodbye to his wife Jiang Lifang that day, so he got on the train to Yanjing.

He Tiantian and Jiang Lifang were both puzzled. They didn't know what Huo Zhekun was going to do!

However, He Tiantian was about to start school and had no time to think about her father-in-law.

Huo Yingjie, on the other hand, often reads newspapers, hoping to see his father publish that article and see what kind of change his father will have!

Let’s say that Huo Zhekun went to Yanjing.

Mr. Huo and Huo Zheqian were shocked when they saw Huo Zhekun coming back at such an unexpected time. They thought something had happened in Nanshi.

"Zhekun, what happened?" Mr. Huo asked hurriedly. Now is the moment for all parties to argue. The Huo family is also within this range. If you are not careful, although it will not be destroyed, it may be that you are on the wrong team. Dislike.

Huo Zhekun smiled and took out the manuscripts, which he had already copied. As for the ones written by his son, Huo Zhekun had already burned them.

"Dad, take a look." Huo Zhekun said, "I think it is necessary now!"

Mr. Huo was shocked and doubtful. He took it and heard a shocking sentence, "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

This title made Mr. Huo stunned.

Huo Zheqian saw that his father was lost in thought and reminded him in a low voice: "Father, what is written on it that makes you so lost in thought?"

Mr. Huo calmed down and did not speak. Instead, he continued to read. The short article only took a few dozen breaths to finish.

"Did you write this?" This was the second son's handwriting, but these contents were so shocking that Mr. Huo didn't believe it was written by his second son.

To other people, Huo Zhekun would hide it and say that he wrote it, but in front of his family, Huo Zhekun did not hide it.

Even if he insisted, his father and eldest brother would not believe it.

"No, it was written by Yingjie." Huo Zhekun said, "With this manuscript, our Huo family will immediately rise from the humble position we were before to the height of a think tank."

Hearing the conversation between his father and his second brother, Huo Zheqian felt even more nourished. Seeing that his father had finished reading, he quickly took it over to read.

"Okay, okay!" Huo Zheqian looked at it and said yes again and again.

"Father, how do you think this manuscript should be submitted?" Huo Zhekun asked. If his father and eldest brother were willing, then he would give them this opportunity to make contributions.

Huo Zhekun can just work outside steadily. When he gets old and gets a position of real power, he will retire and be free.

However, after hearing Huo Zhekun's words, Mr. Huo and Huo Zheqian looked at each other and said nothing. Instead, they quickly weighed the pros and cons in their brains.

After a while, Mr. Huo slowly said: "Zhekun, you have been outside and don't know the situation in Yanjing. Now the debate is intense and no one can convince anyone. Once someone gets involved, they will become everyone's target. "

Although Mr. Huo didn't say it explicitly, his attitude was very clear.

Huo Zheqian nodded and said: "There are already a lot of people staring at me now. If I hand it over, I will definitely become the target of attacks by other people or forces."

Hearing what his father and eldest brother said, Huo Zhekun was not too disappointed.

Just like what my son said, my father and eldest brother have many concerns and are indeed not suitable to publish such an article.

"Father, brother, I have lived and worked in the local area for a long time and have a lot of local practical experience. This article will be published in my name." Huo Zhekun said firmly. He didn't want the truth that his son had worked so hard to be covered with dust. It was a tribute to his son's hard work. of blasphemy.

"You..." Mr. Huo was surprised again, "Is this possible?"

Huo Zheqian was also a little anxious and advised: "Second brother, don't be reckless!"

Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "Father, I have considered this carefully."

"Oh?" Mr. Huo was surprised, "Then tell me, I want to hear your thoughtful thoughts!"

Huo Zheqian was also very interested.
