Before Bai Zhe could see the face of the visitor clearly, two armed police soldiers shouted "Salute!" and then gave the visitor a standard military salute with a bang.
This movement made Bai Zhe couldn't help but look back, and then his hand was held by a pair of warm big hands.
"Are you Comrade Bai Zhe?"
"Well, I am."
Bai Zhe finally saw clearly the appearance of the person who came. He was not too tall, probably only 1.7 meters tall. He needed to look down a little when standing in front of him.
"Nice to meet you. Today I specifically told Shuya to pick you up outside. This girl is really unreliable."
"Are you Minister Qin? Nice to meet you."
The two let go of their hands. Qin Zhongwei raised his head and extended his hand to Bai Zhe: "Comrade Bai Zhe, please come inside."
The car started again and turned on the high beam, illuminating the road ahead for the two of them.
The staff on duty in the watchtower quickly raised the railing, and Bai Zhe walked into this deep courtyard at Qin Zhongwei's warm invitation.
The two armed policemen waited until they had passed and were a few steps away before they lowered their arms and looked at each other.
[Damn it, I was really kindly invited by the organization director. People should not be judged by their appearance. I was careless...]
After the two of them reached the second row and turned the corner, the Passat turned off the high beam and slowly turned around and left.
After turning around, Bai Zhe saw seven or eight small Chinese-style villas standing neatly on both sides. In front of the villas was a small courtyard with a low fence, and each courtyard was planted with various flowers and plants.
In the colorful month of May, peonies, roses, peonies, and clivia all compete to exude bursts of floral fragrance, filling the nostrils and making people happy and relaxed.
Among the flowers, I often see cars parked in the yard. After a cursory look, I see that these cars are either Audis or Volkswagens, and they are mostly black.
After walking a few steps, Qin Zhongwei slowed down and whispered to Bai Zhe: "Follow me."
Then he turned around and walked quickly to the left.
"Secretary Yuan..."
Bai Zhe's heart moved [Provincial Party Committee Secretary Yuan Fuchun turns out to live so close to Qin Zhongwei. 】
When he arrived, Qin Zhongwei quickly took the watering can from Yuan Fuchun's hand and said: "Secretary Yuan has to do these things himself, I will do it."
Yuan Fuchun watched Qin Zhongwei take over the watering can and sighed: "Hey, when people get older, they like to deal with these flowers and plants. It's comfortable."
Qin Zhongwei raised his head and said with a smile: "Secretary Yuan, don't be ridiculous, you are not old at all, you are still young."
This gentle flattery made Yuan Fuchun smile.
He looked up and saw Bai Zhe following behind him. He pointed at him in confusion and asked, "Who is this little comrade?"
Qin Zhongwei straightened up and suddenly realized: "Look at my brain. I was just watering the flowers and forgot to introduce it to you."
After saying that, he put down the watering can, stood up straight, and solemnly introduced Bai Zhe: "Bai Zhe, this is Comrade Yuan Fuchun, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee."
Bai Zhe bowed slightly and said politely: "Hello, Secretary Yuan."
Qin Zhongwei turned around and smiled at Yuan Fuchun and said: "This is Bai Zhe, the mayor of Lishui Town. He came to the Provincial Party School this time and his results in the written examination were particularly outstanding. I specially called him here to understand some of the grassroots conditions."
Under the white light, Yuan Fuchun looked at Bai Zhe carefully, then raised his finger and pointed at Bai Zhe and said to Qin Zhongwei: "Oh~ I recognize this little comrade, the anti-drug hero Bai Zhe, is it you?"
"Yes, you are right, it is him."
Yuan Fuchun immediately walked up to Bai Zhe, raised his hand to touch Bai Zhe's injured left arm, and asked with concern: "How is this arm? Can you move it?"
Bai Zhe raised his left hand slightly and said, "Thank you, Secretary Yuan, for your concern. I can move my hands. Please rest assured."
"Well, as long as you can move." Yuan Fuchun nodded solemnly, looked back at Qin Zhongwei and said: "Zhong Wei, I have to criticize you for this. You have to tell me when the young comrade comes to Lingzhou. At least I want to go I’ll meet you in person.”
Qin Zhongwei waved his hands repeatedly: "Secretary Yuan, don't worry, I'm here with you. You are too busy at work, so I don't need to bother you with this little thing."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Heroes must be respected regardless of their status."
Qin Zhongwei glanced at Bai Zhe. [It’s your turn to speak now. 】
Bai Zhe quickly interrupted with a smile: "Secretary Yuan, I am very satisfied to see you here. Besides, my uncle Qin asked me to come to his house for dinner. This is already the highest honor. I feel honored from the bottom of my heart." No matter how hard it is, it’s worth it.”
"oh?"
Yuan Fuchun was stunned for a moment when he heard Bai Zhe's Uncle Qin speak.
[Feeling: Is this your nephew, Minister Qin? I do not know how? 】
Qin Zhongwei was also stunned: [You kid, who recognizes you as a nephew? You have to give evidence when you speak, okay? 】
Bai Zhe smiled slightly in his heart [Thank you Uncle Qin for the bamboo pole, I can borrow it. 】
"Zhong Wei, look at you, you have such a good nephew, and you still keep hiding him."
Facing Yuan Fuchun's reproachful gaze, Qin Zhongwei smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Yuan, don't get me wrong. Bai Zhe is a good kid. I just want to take more care of him. But don't worry, I have absolutely no selfish motives."
Yuan Fuchun waved his hand and said, "Who cares about you? I'll put it to the forefront. Now that I recognize you as my uncle, I will leave this young comrade Bai Zhe to you. If I suffer any grievances in the provincial capital, I will treat you as my uncle." ask."
Qin Zhongwei nodded quickly: "Absolutely, leader, please rest assured."
"Oh..." Yuan Fuchun sighed: "Who wouldn't like meeting such an outstanding young comrade like Bai Zhe? My old bones are of no use..."
[I think of my worthless son who actually went to a coastal city to become the mayor. I wonder if I can see him even once in a year. No one cares about it...]
When Bai Zhe heard this, he immediately stepped forward to hold Yuan Fuchun's old hand and said, "If Secretary Yuan doesn't mind, I'd like to call you uncle, okay?"
Yuan Fuchun and Qin Zhongwei's eyes lit up and they looked at Bai Zhe.
[Okay, you kid, you haven’t even entered the house yet. Are you going to abandon me now? 】
"Hmm~ This is a good idea?!" Yuan Fuchun praised.
Bai Zhe then held his old hand tighter and said excitedly: "Uncle, from now on you will be my uncle."
Yuan Fuchun's smile froze for a moment: "Oh, okay, okay."
[Isn’t this guy here to have a relationship? So positive? 】
Bai Zhe immediately let go of his hand and took a step back.
Qin Zhongwei's eyes widened [What are you doing, you want to kneel down? 】
Yuan Fuchun was also stunned [Are you serious? Party members don’t like this! 】
Bai Zhe: "But before I recognize you as my uncle, I have one more request."
The two looked at each other: "Oh? You still have a request? Tell me."
[Bai Zhe, Bai Zhe, if you want to pay homage to your ancestors by placing incense, don’t eat this meal today and get out of here as soon as possible. 】
Bai Zhehan smiled and said: "I hope to recognize you as my uncle, just for a little emotional belonging, because I lost my father a long time ago, but I want to make it clear that no matter it is Secretary Yuan, you or Uncle Qin, no one can You are not allowed to tell this little secret between us, and you are not allowed to take extra care of me or promote me because of this relationship. If that is the case, I, Bai Zhe, would rather offend you two than undermine the party. It's a matter of principle, and we don't allow rights to tarnish this pure emotion."
Bai Zhe's words were clear and understandable. After listening to them, the two of them felt an inexplicable feeling of reverence in their hearts. They looked at Bai Zhe with more and more love.
After Bai Zhe finished speaking, Yuan Fuchun and Qin Zhongwei nodded together.
"Okay, Bai Zhe, you really made me look at you more highly today."
"This is a reasonable request."
Yuan Fuchun stepped forward, put his hand on Bai Zhe's shoulder and squeezed it hard.
"Bai Zhe, because of your attitude, I, Yuan Fuchun, recognize your nephew!"
Bai Zhe squeezed out two drops of cat urine from nowhere and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Yuan!"
"Warm!"
"Uncle Qin?"
"Haha, good."
Qin Zhongwei raised his head and said to Yuan Fuchun: "Uncle, how about your child being so obedient? Come to my house for a drink or two?"
Yuan Fuchun waved his hand and said happily: "Let's go, I'm happy today, I must drink two drinks!"
At this time, a car happened to drive in from outside. Seeing the three people walking out of Secretary Yuan's yard, they quickly braked and Qin Shuya poked her head out.
"Dad, Uncle Yuan is here too. I just came back from buying two bottles of good wine."
Qin Zhongwei scolded: "Why did you buy it just now? Go quickly and let Aunt Zhang bring the dishes to the table. Let's start the meal right away."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The moment the car started, Qin Shuya glanced at Bai Zhe.
[Well, Bai Zhe, you kept me waiting outside, but it turned out that my dad had brought me in a long time ago. 】
The three people walked towards Qin Shuya's house in high spirits.
"Secretary Yuan, let's walk quickly so that we don't get seen by those drunkards. If they all come over and grab a drink, we won't have a share."
Yuan Fuchun raised his hand and quickly quickened his pace: "That's right, walk quickly, walk quickly."
Seeing the two old boys walking in a hurry, Bai Zhe smiled in his heart and said, "I'm afraid it's not that I'm worried about sharing the wine, but that it's more like sharing the nephew." 】
Before they reached the door, they saw Qin Shuya and a middle-aged lady already standing at the door to greet them, welcoming the three of them into the house with smiling faces.
Qin Shuya's home decoration is very ordinary, mainly in warm colors. It feels very warm after entering.
After a brief introduction to each other, the five people sat at the dining table.
Qin's mother was a very well-educated lady. She asked Bai Zhe a lot about the family situation, and Bai Zhe answered them truthfully without hiding anything.
When talking about Bai Zhe's father dying to save others, Yuan Fuchun thought for a moment and said, "When it comes to the fire in Wenwu County more than 20 years ago, I have some impressions."
Qin Shuya quickly asked: "Uncle Yuan, do you know?"
After speaking, Bai Zhe and Bai Zhe looked at each other.
Yuan Fuchun nodded: "I do have an impression. I was the secretary of the county party committee in Xin County at that time. This incident alarmed the city leaders, and led more than a dozen of our brother county cadres to hold a memorial service for the fire captain who died. "
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized: "By the way, the city leader at that time was your Mr. Qin! He was also present at the memorial service, so he should know the specific situation better."
Everyone looked at Yuan Fuchun.
"What, my dad knows?"
Qin Shuya was stunned for a moment.
"My grandfather is in the capital. If we don't meet him, we can't understand."
