The ancestral home of the Liang family, Dong'an County, Jiang'an City.
From the outside, this is just a dilapidated old house with nothing outstanding about it.
But the local people all know that this house gave birth to a father of the Republic, Mr. Liang!
The Liang family was not prosperous to begin with, and now there are not many people left in Dong'an. Some were displaced during the war, and some followed Liang Lao in the revolution and later stayed in the capital.
Even so, the Dong'an County and even the Jiang'an government regard Liang's old house as an important place and carefully maintain it.
I heard that there were leaders who wanted to rebuild the Liang family's ancestral home and build an ancestral hall, but Mr. Liang called and scolded him.
From then on, no one dared to flatter me.
But today, a group of people came to Liang's old house.
The leader is a tall and thin old man. Although he is old, he is energetic, has strong steps, deep eyes, and his white hair is neatly combed. He has a noble aura.
I saw that they behaved in a low-key manner, except for a brief pause at the ancestral home, and then came to the Liang family's ancestral grave to perform some simple worship.
There is no place to say hello, no one knows, the car is simple and simple.
The old man silently stared at the grave. Lying inside were his ancestors, his parents and brothers!
Looking at the extremely familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar environment, he sighed, showing a trace of sadness.
He was only thirteen years old when he left home to join the revolution. He spent half his life in the military, and how many bloody storms had he experienced?
First, he fought with both sides in the white area, manipulating both sides, and then leaped onto the battlefield and commanded thousands of troops!
In the three major battles, he made great achievements!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he shined on many fronts, then had ups and downs, and finally became the respected Mr. Liang!
He has walked this road for more than seventy years!
It's been another ten years since he last came back!
It feels a bit like "when a young boy leaves home and his boss comes back, his local accent remains unchanged and his hair on his temples fades away".
However, because he has worked in the capital for many years, even his accent has become smooth. Where does this start?
Worshiping ancestors is the most normal thing for ordinary people.
But for him, it is a luxury wish!
There are many things that you can’t help yourself!
Nowadays, as I get older and older, I realize that returning fallen leaves to their roots is the strongest calling deep in the human heart!
He is almost ninety years old, how long he can live, only God knows!
"Mr. Liang, we should go back!" A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses beside the old man said softly.
The old man is obviously the founding father Liang Lao!
Looking back at my hometown many years later, I was both unexpected and expected.
The old man didn't answer, but bent down and picked up a handful of loess.
The middle-aged man wanted to help, but he waved his hand to stop him.
He put the loess into a bag, patted it gently with his hand, and put it in his pocket.
It’s hard to leave your homeland, it’s a nostalgia that’s hard to let go of.
"Xiao Wu, I haven't been back for so many years and I'm a little emotional. Let's go!" Mr. Liang patted the dirt on his body, his voice a little hoarse.
"Mr. Liang, Handong already knows that you are back. Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhao Wenlong is having a meeting in the capital and has entrusted his wife, Ms. He Meijuan, to come and visit you." Secretary Wu said.
"Oh? Who told them? Those monkey cubs in the seventh game?" Mr. Liang said slowly.
Secretary Wu smiled and said: "It's not easy to keep it secret for such a long time. The Seventh Bureau has to take responsibility. According to regulations, it must be informed and reported to the local provincial party committee!"
"Oh, they were so shocked. What can happen in these peaceful times? I remember when I was in the White Zone, forget it, let's not talk about it!" Mr. Liang waved his hand.
"Let's go to Dong'an Hotel now. Ms. Meijuan will be there in a moment. But don't worry, we didn't tell Jiang'an. They know you love Jing."
"What Aijing? The officials below saw me and wanted to report to work until dawn. How can I bear this old bone? He Meijuan is a good little girl. Let's meet her if she wants to see her. Let's go!"
He Meijuan turned into a little girl in Mr. Liang's mouth, but it was indeed the same thing.
In the private room of Dong'an Hotel, He Meijuan was waiting for Mr. Liang. Her face was still a little pale, but she was obviously fine.
"Mr. Liang, why didn't you tell me when you came back? If I had known you were coming, Wenlong would have waited for you no matter what!" He Meijuan said angrily when she saw Mr. Liang.
"Hey, what if I tell you, you don't have to carry me back in a big sedan chair? I finally got home, so what's the point? If those monkeys in the seventh game weren't careful, I don't want you to know at all." Liang Lao waved his hand and said.
"When the old leader returns home, we should receive him well both emotionally and rationally! You are a great hero in Dong'an!" He Meijuan said.
I didn’t expect that the Seventh Bureau, which has so many magical powers, would become a monkey in Mr. Liang’s mouth, but thinking about it, it seems that the Seventh Bureau was established under Mr. Liang’s hands...
"You little girl haven't changed at all. I remember it was twenty years ago. I admired your article about the internal reference of system reform and even asked someone to ask you for advice!" Mr. Liang recalled the relationship between the two of them. past events.
"Yes, it was a great encouragement to me to be recognized by you at that time. The Restructuring Committee did a lot of work back then, but..."
"We must look at issues from the perspective of development and change. Some institutions and departments have completed their historical missions and should withdraw from the stage of history."
"Hehe, what you said is that today's arrangements are all hometown dishes, please review them!"
He Meijuan said with a smile.
We also arranged local food and wine from Dongan.
Mr. Liang is now almost 90 years old and looks like he is only in his 70s. He is in really good health!
I also like to drink two cups.
"Yes, yes, the little girl still remembers my old man's preferences! Let's take a seat!"
There were only three people at the huge dining table: Mr. Liang, He Meijuan and Secretary Wu.
It is also fun to reminisce about the past while eating.
"Xiao He and Xiao Zhao have made contributions in Handong over the years. China and Y agree on this!" Mr. Liang suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, He Meijuan quickly showed a solemn look and said: "This is all under the leadership and support of China Y. Wenlong is a straight person and resolutely implements China Y's line, principles and policies!"
She knew that what Mr. Liang said carried a lot of weight.
"More than that, Handong's economy has grown rapidly in recent years, and it has become a major economic province in the north, playing an important role in the country. Wenlong deserves the credit! It's just a pity that he didn't get a more important position!" Mr. Liang sighed.
