Wang Kaihe, this veteran cadre's name, Xiao Zheng had seen it on the list of veteran cadres, but his impression wasn't very deep. Xiao Zheng looked at Ren Yongle, the secretary beside him. 。Ren Yongle had the list of old cadres in his hand. Seeing Xiao Zheng look at him, he knew the leader wanted to see the list, so he stood up from the bench and took a step forward, handing the list of old cadres to Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at the list and quickly found Wang Kaihe's name. He scanned it and grasped Wang Kaihe's basic information. 。However, the information on the table was static. Xiao Zheng wanted to understand it more deeply, so he asked Li Guosheng: "Minister Li, you said that Wang Lao is highly respected and selfless, how do you say that?" Li Guosheng then spoke about Wang Kaihe's participation in the land revolution, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Liberation War, establishing illustrious achievements. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he continued to serve as a county-level cadre in Baoyuan County until his retirement as the secretary of the County Party Committee. He had never asked the organization for any personal living allowances, nor had he ever sought any connections for his family's work. He was indifferent to fame and fortune, content with a simple life. His son has run the only breakfast shop in the county town all year round, becoming a place where retired cadres, ordinary people, and businessmen gather to socialize and do business. After years of hard work, he showed no complaints. 。Xiao Zheng didn't expect this kind of old cadre! On the land of Baoyuan, a revolutionary base area, the response was indeed different. 。Here, poverty exists, but there are veins of red. 。Guard these red roots well and protect every living veteran cadre. Use their spirit and life stories to inspire local cadres, Party members, and the masses. We can surely unite our forces and strive for poverty alleviation and common prosperity! Xiao Zheng believed that old comrades like Li Guosheng wouldn't talk nonsense, so he turned to Hong Wenmin and Qiu Rongyao beside him and said, "Let's go visit Lao Wang today." 。The original plan for today was to visit Mr. Li Guosheng, and there was no arrangement to visit Wang Kaihe. 。In the opinion of former cadre Director Qiu Rongyao, Li Guosheng's conditions in all aspects are better. His family is more harmonious than Wang Kaihe's, and his children are also more promising. He is suitable for Secretary Xiao to visit at the very beginning, which will also give Secretary Xiao a good impression of the work of the county veteran cadre bureau. 。To get the latest chapters, please pay attention to the official WeChat account: The Walking Pen Dragon Gall 。Prevent loss of contact <<< 。He suggested, “Secretary Xiao, it’s getting late today. Why don’t we contact him another day and give Old Wang some time to prepare? We can go over then.”
"What kind of preparation time is needed?" Xiao Zheng waved his hand lightly and said, "When Old Wang was doing revolution, my parents hadn't even been born yet! He is an old secretary of our Baoyuan County, and I am a descendant of his descendants! If I visit him temporarily, I won't mind, and he shouldn't mind either!"
“You are absolutely right, Secretary Xiao,” 。After hearing this, Li Guosheng was deeply moved. Xiao Zheng's easygoing, low-key and down-to-earth personality infected Li Guosheng. 。As a young cadre who grew up in the tide of reform and opening up, being able to have a figure like Xiao Zheng come to Baoyuan as the county party secretary is truly a blessing for Baoyuan! "Secretary Xiao, if you really want to see Old Wang, I'll accompany you." 。"I know the way there like the back of my hand! It's as familiar to me as my own home!"
"That's best." 。“Shall we go now?” Xiao Zheng said. “Let’s go now,” Li Guosheng said. 。"
Li Guosheng's wife grumbled slightly: “Old Li, why don't you let Secretary Xiao sit for a while longer? Secretary Xiao, the fruit hasn't been eaten yet!” Li Guosheng smiled and said: "Look at the old comrade, to Secretary Xiao, it's much more important than eating your fruit!" Xiao Zheng grasped Li Guosheng's hand and said: “You older generations can see right through our young comrades' thoughts.” 。Li Guosheng also smiled and nodded, saying: "We've met a lot of people along the way." 。Some people are solely focused on climbing the ladder, driven by position and compensation. We can see through them at a glance; others are dedicated to serving the nation, working for the well-being of the people. We can also recognize these individuals instantly. 。Li Guosheng didn't say that Xiao Zheng was the latter, but he just shook Xiao Zheng's hand tightly. Xiao Zheng also nodded and shook Li Guosheng's hand tightly, saying: "Li Department Head's encouragement, I dare not forget!" Li Guosheng's heart warmed, his eyes moist: "I believe, Bao Yuan has been waiting for a good secretary! Come on, I'll take you to see Lao Wang." 。。"Li Guosheng nodded and said, “Good, thanks to Secretary Xiao’s help, my son is also accompanying me today.” 。He's always swamped in the operating room. 。"Alright, let's go together," said Xiao Zheng. 。Then, everyone went downstairs. 。Xiao Zheng asked Li Guosheng to sit in his car, and the Minister of Organization, Hong Wenming, sat in the passenger seat. 。The former cadres, the director, and Li Chengye and Ren Yongle were sitting in the car behind. 。After the car started, Hong Wenming asked: "Minister Li, should we call Wang Lao's son first?"Li Guosheng said: "Good idea, I'll make the call." 。Li Guosheng took out a simple mobile phone and called Wang Lao's son, Wang Xiaochou, but Wang Xiaochou didn't answer. 。。Li Guosheng said: "Secretary Xiao, the phone line is not working..." 。Wang Xiaozhou runs a dim sum shop. Although they sell items for breakfast, he has to work all day long, preparing tea, buns, beef offal, and small dishes in the afternoon and evening. He's always busy in the shop and can't hear my phone calls. 。Old Wang usually goes home in the morning, and he always rests at home in the afternoon. I'll take you there first. 。"Secretary Xiao, what if we first send you to Mr. Wang's house, and then have the car pick up Mr. Wang's son?" 。"That's good too," 。"The county town was small, and as an old district, it didn't have many roads. After about five or six minutes, I arrived at a narrow street by the river. There were a few bare trees by the riverbank, and there was still no water in the river. Next to the river was an open-air trash can. Some of the garbage was thrown outside and even rolled onto the riverbed. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned up for some time, and the stench spread through the air." 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think of his hometown, Lǜshuǐ Village. It was currently in great shape with clean village roads, clear rivers, green mountains and bamboo groves, and a gentle breeze blowing through it all. 。The happiness of the common people in Green Water Village is definitely much higher than that of Bao Yuan County Town. 。Xiao Zheng really wanted to change the appearance of Baoyuan County's old city, but now any move cost money, and Baoyuan lacked money the most. 。To address the financial issue, it's crucial to focus on economic development. With a relatively stable source of income, the county's appearance and the well-being of its residents can improve accordingly. 。As the car passed a narrow alley lined with low, tiled houses, Li Guosheng said, "Here's where we stop." 。Then, everyone got out of the car and entered a narrow alley. Inside was a single-story house with white walls that had darkened over time. The living conditions here were far worse than in Li Guosheng's old apartment complex. 。An elderly comrade who had retired from his post as a county party secretary, almost ninety years old yet still living in such a small lane, Xiao Zheng felt quite uncomfortable and asked, "Old Wang, do you live here alone?"
Li Guosheng shook his head and said, "No, his son and daughter-in-law also live with him." 。"Xiao Zheng asked, "His son and daughter-in-law should not be young either, they should have children, right?" Li Guosheng nodded and said, "His son and daughter-in-law are also in their sixties. I don't know what's going on. Wang Xiaozhou's wife can't give birth. Xiaozhou is an honest person and hasn't divorced. His relationship with his wife is very good. They didn't adopt a pair of abandoned dragon and phoenix babies until they were almost fifty." 。The children are well-behaved. They both got into Xīhǎitóu High School and will soon be going to university. 。So both Xiaozhou and his wife are working hard to make money, they don't even buy a house, just to save the money for these twins!
