Spring is blooming, and everything is recovering.

The ancient courtyard house is full of vitality, and bursts of laughter are heard from time to time.

Xiao Zhan took his wife and children back to the courtyard to visit the old man. The old man is in good spirits and in good health, since the last serious illness, more than half a year has passed, the old man has never even had a cold, and Nurse Zhang is rarely idle.

Xiao Zhan's mood is also rare and happy.

After the old man was discharged from the hospital, he began to pay great attention to the political situation, which was very different from the situation when the old man retired before. After the old man completely retired, he deliberately faded out of the political arena, which is not a particularly important matter, and he generally does not ask.

According to the old man's own words, it is "when people are old, they should retire with peace of mind, and don't be disgusted".

In another sense, this is also a kind of exercise and trust for the younger generations, and the old man hopes that the younger generations can grow up as soon as possible and hold up a piece of the sky by themselves.

The big political faction with the old Xiao family as the core is also gradually growing.

This time, however, the old man seemed to have changed his strategy.

Although Xiao Zhan still didn't understand that the attitude of the old man Weishenme would change so much, one thing was certain, once the old man went into battle in person, his pressure would be relieved a lot.

After all, the old man's prestige is there, and no one can shake it.

Near noon, the sun was warm, and the family sat under the big tree in the yard, talking and laughing.

Xiao Tian said loudly: "Grandpa, I will go to Hongshan Village tomorrow to report and be the village party secretary." ”

The old man was a little behind his ears, and the family and the staff around him couldn't help but raise the volume when they talked to him.

"Oh. Figured it out? ”

The old man asked with a smile on his face. Looking at the little grandson's eyes, they were full of kindness.

Xiao Tian nodded. "Yes, grandpa." But I didn't figure it out on my own, I was forced by my brother. He's going to kick me out of the capital! ”

Jian Xiuhua hurriedly smiled and said, "This kid, how can you speak?" How can your brother force you! ”

Xiao Tian is still that temperament, he doesn't know how serious he is, Jian Xiuhua is a little anxious, afraid that the old man will blame Xiao Fan.

"Push it well, young people, you have to be under pressure to be motivated." The old man waved his hand. said with a smile: "Xiaofan, this task has been completed well, and grandpa praises you." ”

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Grandpa, as long as Xiao Tian is on the right path, he will be our old Xiao family's thousand-mile horse in the future." ”

"Just him?"

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Xiao Zhan snorted disdainfully. To be honest, Minister Xiao really doesn't have much confidence in this little son. On the contrary, Du Xiaofan's perception has undergone a great change.

After all, what Xiao Fan said every time. can be cashed out.

He said that if he could cure the old man's illness, he would really be cured; said that he wanted to do the work of Tong Lu Hong, and he did it; said that he would persuade Xiao Tian to go to work in Hongshan Village for a period of one month. Now in less than a month, Xiao Tian obediently agreed to go to Hongshan Village.

It seems that he used to be a little prejudiced against Xiao Fan, although Xiao Fan was "learning the Tao". is still the smart and wise grandson of the Xiao family.

Dad's disdainful look seemed to irritate Xiao Tian, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Dad." Don't underestimate people, I either don't go to Hongshan Village. If I go, I'm sure I'll do a good job. ”

Second Brother Xiao is a character who does not admit defeat.

Xiao Zhan sneered: "I'm not underestimating you, do you think the work at the grassroots level is so easy?" If you want to do a good job, you must first change your personality and change your problem of indiscriminately firing guns. In grassroots work, it is not enough to have courage, but also to know how to unite comrades, think in one place, and exert strength in one place, so that we can twist into a rope. ”

The mouth is teaching Xiao Tian, but when it comes to it, it becomes a teaching.

After all, Xiao Tian is also his biological son, how can a father not love his child?

Now Xiao Tian is finally willing to work at the grassroots level, this is a good beginning, Xiao Zhan hopes that Xiao Tian will change his past wrongs from now on, be a serious person, and work in a down-to-earth manner.

As long as Xiao Tian fights for his own strength and has the strong backing of the old Xiao family, he is not afraid that there will be no big stage in the future.

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Dad, unite comrades, I believe Xiao Tian can do a good job." There is still a difference between the work in the township and the city and county, and Xiao Tian knows how to grasp it. ”

Xiao Tian's brain is absolutely good, as long as he concentrates on his work, he will be able to understand these ways in the officialdom soon. As one of the "big brothers" in the capital's squirrel, Xiao Tian's temperament is very popular with township cadres. When Xiao Tian arrived at the city and county level, he had almost experienced it, and naturally knew how to adapt to the new environment and new rules.

Xiao Zhan did not object to this.

Regarding the various "deeds" of Second Brother Xiao in the capital's circle, Minister Xiao is not ignorant, and naturally someone reports to him. As a ministerial-level high-ranking official and the second-generation standard-bearer of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan's information channels cannot be so closed.

"Xiao Tian, since you are going to work in Hongshan Village, you must be mentally prepared to take root at the grassroots level. When you go to Hongshan Village, you are going to work, not to gild, and you must pay attention to this. I used to work in Jianghan Province, and some old colleagues stayed there. However, you have to solve the problem on your own, and don't ask for help when you encounter the slightest difficulty. That's a useless way to do it. Use your brains, find your own way to solve problems, and find your own way to develop the economy of Hongshan Village, understand? ”

"You know, I'm not going to beg anyone."

Xiao Tian replied, his tone a little hard.

"Xiaotian, economic development is one aspect, and we should also attach importance to the building of spiritual civilization. Hongshan is our hometown and the old revolutionary area. The fine traditions of the revolution must not be lost, and we should not be preoccupied with only making money. Now there is a strange phenomenon in many places, money is made, but the ideology and morality are gone. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and he doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of his house, and he is selfish and indifferent. Even if you are bent on harming others, this situation must be fully taken seriously. The building of spiritual civilization and the building of material civilization must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be firm. ”

The old man said slowly, his expression more serious.

"Yes, Grandpa, I remember."

In front of the old man, Xiao Tian didn't dare to stiffen his mouth and obediently be taught.

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, asking for people and normal work communication are two different things, don't mix them up." Those who should report must be reported in a timely manner, and those who should be asked for instructions must also be asked for instructions in a timely manner. ”

This was said on behalf of Xiao Zhan, and there were some things that Minister Xiao couldn't say too clearly.

If Xiao Tian is stubborn and really doesn't contact Xiao Zhan's old colleagues, the problem will not be simple, if it is not good, it will be misunderstood that the old Xiao family has opinions on them, and it is not just a matter for Xiao Tian alone.

The twists and turns in the officialdom are really unclear to ordinary people.

It's not good to trouble people often, and it's not okay to look for it at all, the key is to grasp a degree.

For example, to let Yan Bo's dog farm be closed for rectification, Xiao Fan greeted the relevant departments through Lu Hong. Lu Hong readily agreed, without even asking the reason.

In the eyes of a big man like Lu Hong, does it take a reason to let a dog farm in the Mulan paddock go out of business for rectification?

Now, Xiao Fan has faintly become a bridge between Lu Hong and Xiao Zhan.

Even that kind of "privacy" was exposed in front of Xiao Fan, even if Lu Hong could not become the most loyal ally of the old Xiao family in the future, at least he would not turn against him.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Fan and nodded slowly.

In fact, the children of the old Xiao family, as long as they are interested in a career, there is really no one who is a fuel-efficient lamp. Xiao Fan seems to be dedicated to studying Huang Lao's skills, but he is clear about many things in the officialdom.

At this time, Xiao Fan's mobile phone suddenly rang.

It was Xiao Guizi who called.

Xiao Fan got up and walked to the side and pressed the answer button.

"Little Guizi?"

"Brother Yi, it's not good, it's not good, my old man is going to be bad......"

As soon as the phone was connected, Xiao Guizi's angry voice came.

Xiao Fan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "Little Guizi, don't panic, if you have something to say, don't mess up." ”

Xiao Guizi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forced himself to calm down, and then said: "That's the case, first brother, someone from the ministry has come to talk to my old man today, and it is possible to transfer him to work in the ministry." This matter has been rumored for a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to become a reality so soon...... First brother, this is not good, my old man went to the ministry, and he was designated to stand aside, I heard that he was going to be the deputy director of the third bureau, and the division of labor has not yet been decided, so it is estimated that there will be no good things in his turn......"

Xiao Guizi's father, Gui Qingqiu, is now the deputy director in charge of public security work of the Capital City Bureau, the deputy secretary of the bureau's party group, and a bureau-level cadre. If this son is transferred to work in the ministry, I am afraid that the situation will really be as Xiao Guizi said, stand aside.

"Xiao Guizi, the transfer of cadres has always been subject to organizational arrangements. Uncle Gui has been working in the city bureau for a long time, and it is normal for him to be transferred. ”

Xiao Fan said unhurriedly.

"That's not the case, brother, yes, yes...... Hey, I'll be blunt, someone might want to fix him. You know, it's a lot of tricks to transfer him at this time......"

Xiao Guizi became angry again.

Recently, there has indeed been such a phenomenon: In order to investigate and deal with a certain leading cadre with high authority, in order to be able to remove resistance and smoothly investigate and collect evidence, the leading cadre will usually first adjust his position and transfer him from his original unit, and then he will be able to "get started."

Of course, this may just be Xiao Guizi's speculation, maybe it is a normal personnel adjustment.

It is very common for leading cadres within the public security system to exchange and change their guards.

However, if Gui Qingqiu went to the ministry and really stood aside, Xiao Guizi would be very unhappy. The key to his place in the capital's circle is that his old man holds real power. There are some things in the Yanya, and they usually have to find Gui Qingqiu's head and ask him for help.

At this time, Xiao Guizi hurriedly called Xiao Fan, naturally hoping that at the critical moment, the old Xiao family could help.

"yes, I see."

Xiao Fan replied lightly, and then hung up the phone. (To be continued......)
