Yang Shugen's confession failed like this, he tried his best to pretend that he didn't care, still talking and laughing, Chen Yan didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, which made Yang Shugen a little relieved and a little depressed, could I be so indifferent in her heart.

After all, life has to go on, Yang Shugen is not young, if he continues to stay in the bitter well, this life will be really delayed, he must start two things, the first is to transfer to the city, and the second is to find a lover who can help him in his career.

Late at night, Yang Shugen was still lying on the bed tossing and turning, he went through all the female resources at hand, basically there was no suitable one, the beautiful family conditions were poor, he couldn't match himself, and he couldn't look down on himself if he was ugly, thinking about it, a name jumped into his heart.

Ma Chunhua!

This female comrade has a high comprehensive quality in all aspects, and is the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the machinery company, a reserve talent trained by the Organization Department of the Prefectural Party Committee, and a representative of the 38th Red Banner. Although she is not as slender and moving as Chen Yan, she is also healthy and good-looking, and there is no big difference when the lights are out, and more importantly, the two have had an experience of pretending to be husband and wife, which can be regarded as the foundation of their relationship.

Thinking of this, Yang Shugen finally calmed down, and it was her, Secretary Yang, who had finished his thoughts, fell asleep soundly and slept until dawn.

The next day, Yang Shugen took a tractor into the city in the name of going to the county to allocate disinfectant potion, and when he arrived at the county seat, he first ran official business, and then went to the state-owned sugar tobacco hotel to buy two catties of hard candy, took a boat to Beitai, and first went to visit Mai Ping, the leader of the administrative department, as usual.

Yang Shugen has no background in the high-level, although Mai Ping is only a section-level cadre, he and Secretary Zheng of the provincial party committee are old friends, there are people above, and the future is limitless, and it is good for his future to take his line.

Mai Ping was in his forties, his family had arranged a marriage in his early years, divorced after liberation, married a young man, and had just given birth to a daughter named Mai Kangmei, and the family lived in the dormitory of the Executive Office.

Yang Shugen visited, Mai Ping was very warmly welcomed, he was very optimistic about this young man, and took the initiative to move closer to himself, indicating that this kid has water in his eyes, and he wants to make a difference in politics, and he also needs people below.

"Chief McKei, sister-in-law, it's a little interesting." Yang Shugen offered two catties of hard candy, and the sister-in-law took the candy and blamed: "Come here, bring something, don't allow it next time." ”

"Yes, sister-in-law." Yang Shugen smiled humbly, took out the Hongqi brand cigarettes produced by the Beitai Cigarette Factory, gave Mai Ping one, and helped him light it.

Mai Ping took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "Xiao Yang, the next time you come to me, maybe I won't be in the office." ”

Yang Shugen said: "There must be a more important delegation to you in the organization. ”

Mai Ping said: "The prefectural committee is ready to transfer me to the regional public security department as the deputy director of the political department, and the official appointment has not yet been issued, but it is almost there." ”

Yang Shugen was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, congratulations to the old leader!" ”

Mai Ping smiled indifferently: "Tongxi, you're about to be promoted, right?" ”

Yang Shugen said bitterly: "The countryside can't make achievements, and the leaders can't see it, it's a headache." ”

Mai Ping said: "You still don't get the hang of it, I'll point you out, everything must be highly consistent with the above, you have to be too much, the above requires one, you have to do two or even three, do you understand?" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the poplar roots suddenly opened up.

Mai Ping started his business, relying on the arrest of the big spy Xia Jingqi's gang, but then it is the result of his own efforts, he was very active in the three-anti-five anti-anti movement, and found out a lot of corrupt bureaucrats, although there is a suspicion of forcing a confession, but the organization is quite sure of his work ability, in fact, Mai Ping's main backer is not Zheng Zeru, but Ma Yunqing, secretary of the prefectural party committee.

"Director Mai, I understand, thank you for your order." Yang Shugen said sincerely.

Mai Ping smiled heartily: "What's polite, your own people, stay and drink at night." ”

Yang Shugen twisted: "Don't drink it, go back to the guest house and eat as you like." ”

Mai Ping said: "I still want to leave when I come, sit down and let your sister-in-law fry a few dishes." ”

Yang Shugen said: "Then I'll bother, what, I'll go to a thatched house." ”

Under the pretext of going to the thatched house, he went to the outside shop to buy two bottles of good Huaijiang Tequ, and went to the small restaurant to fry four dishes.

Coming back with wine and food, Mai Ping laughed: "Xiao Yang, you really see the outside." ”

Yang Shugen said: "It should be, it should be." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Shugen said with the strength of the wine: "Director Mai, sister-in-law, in fact, I came to the city for a big event, and I want to ask you for help." ”

Mai Ping was a little wary: "You say it first, see if I have this ability." ”

Yang Shugen said: "I want to ask my sister-in-law to help me be a matchmaker." ”

Mai Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I miss my daughter-in-law, it's a good thing, I like the big girl in which unit, let your sister-in-law say it." ”

Yang Shugen said: "It's no one else, Director Mai, you also know, Ma Chunhua." ”

Mai Ping slapped his thigh: "She, I said Comrade Xiao Yang, you really have a vision, Ma Chunhua definitely has a future, it's right to find her, you two are also a good match, this thing is going to be done!" ”

The sister-in-law also patted her chest: "Our Women's Federation has covered this matter." ”

That night, Yang Shugen slept very soundly and fragrantly in the regional guest house, but he dreamed of Chen Yan again, and the quilt was wet, which made him very embarrassed.

Mai Ping's lover works in the Women's Federation, usually likes to be a matchmaker or something, this time the business is the right one, she rushed to the United Machinery Company Women's Federation, they are all acquaintances who often meet, and they can say anything, and they immediately called Ma Chunhua with a smile and said that Sister Zhang wants to be a matchmaker for you.

Ma Chunhua was surprised: "Be a matchmaker? Who? ”

"Hehe, you also know that person, the young man is good, his consciousness and quality are counted in the whole of Nantai, and he can also be ranked in the whole Jiangbei, and the two of you are still very fateful." Sister Zhang said with a smile.

Ma Chunhua blushed a little, she thought about it, thinking that it was Chen Bei who was introduced.

"The organization is in charge." Ma Chunhua shook her head and was very hearty.

Sister Zhang sighed repeatedly: "I'll just say, the two young people have been looking at each other for a long time, so what, revolutionary work does not wait for anyone, we will take advantage of the National Day on October 1 this year, and you and Xiao Yang will cultivate revolutionary successors as soon as possible." ”

Ma Chunhua's face changed: "Which Xiao Yang?" ”

"Poplar roots, what's the matter? You don't know? Sister Zhang said curiously.

Ma Chunhua said: "It turned out to be a poplar root, I can't go with him, so it's better to save the organization." "Just turn around and leave, which makes Sister Zhang embarrassed.

Sister Zhang came back and told Yang Shugen that Yang Shugen's face was gloomy and could drip water, and it was just rejected by Chen Yan, but she didn't expect that Ma Chunhua would dare to refuse herself.

His self-esteem was hurt a lot, so he didn't continue to stay in the city, nor did he go to Ma Chunhua, and went back to the countryside directly.

……

Chen Zikun returned to the provincial capital and immediately held a family meeting to discuss how to arrange the flying daughter-in-law and "grandson".

Opinions are still relatively unified, everyone thinks that this Ma Chunhua is not worthy of Chen Bei, but since the raw rice is cooked and matured, it should be responsible for others, of course, you can't listen to one side, it's best to wait for a month or two, find an old Chinese medicine doctor to check the pulse, see if it's really pregnant, if it's true, you have to marry home.

Xia Xiaoqing is the most active about this matter, she is born in the rivers and lakes, and has a natural affinity for the poor middle peasants, and she is Chen Bei's mother-in-law, she doesn't care about her son's affairs, she doesn't care about who cares, a few months ago there was bad news from Cangzhou's hometown, and her cousin Yan Jinan was suppressed by the local government, which stimulated her a lot, and she always wanted to hold her grandson early and leave her blood in the world.

So, Xia Xiaoqing personally rushed to Beitai to meet her future daughter-in-law.

The meeting was in the office of the Youth League Committee of the machinery company, Ma Chunhua came from outside, picked up the tea jar and poured it down, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then saw a person sitting in the room, a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a green cloth shirt and black pants, sitting upright, her eyes were sharp, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly like Chen Bei.

"Who are you?" Ma Chunhua vaguely guessed who the other party was.

"I'm Chen Bei's mother." Xia Xiaoqing smiled faintly, this girl is the same as her husband described, a standard poor middle peasant, black and red, round waist and thick arms, a good worker, and her personality seems to be very rough.

"Auntie, you drink tea." Ma Chunhua was busy pouring water, first wiped the teapot before pouring half a cup of boiling water, and then mixed half a cup of cold white water, and served it with both hands.

Xia Xiaoqing asked: "Xiaoma, where are you from, and who else is at home?" ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Nantai countrymen, my family was killed by the landlord, and I am an orphan. ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "It's also a poor child, how have you lived all these years?" ”

Ma Chunhua talked endlessly, starting from being a militiaman, engaged in ground work, engaged in investigation, became a district head, and was transferred to a machinery company to serve as a leading cadre of the regiment in the later stage of the anti-rebellion movement.

"Although I am an orphan, I am not alone, and the party is my mother." Ma Chunhua said this with tears in her eyes when she talked about emotion.

Xia Xiaoqing sighed very emotionally, this girl is very self-reliant and capable, and it is not easy to come to this point.

"What are your plans to do when you get married?" Xia Xiaoqing asked.

Ma Chunhua was overjoyed in her heart, and the other party said this, indicating that she recognized this marriage.

"What should I do after getting married, now is a new society, women can hold up half the sky, there are dormitories in the factory, we have wages, do not cause trouble to the family, in the future, the children will be older, and the factory will also have a nursery and kindergarten, without grandparents to take care of."

Xia Xiaoqing nodded: "Sure enough, it's a strong child, I heard that you are pregnant with a child?" ”

Ma Chunhua was a little shy, holding her stomach and saying, "Maybe there is." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "I brought an old Chinese medicine doctor to check your pulse." ”

Ma Chunhua naturally agreed.

Xia Xiaoqing called the old Chinese medicine doctor in and checked Ma Chunhua's pulse, and the old Chinese medicine doctor nodded and said, "It's Ximai." ”

"Let's go, follow me to meet Xiaobei." Xia Xiaoqing got up and said.

At this time, Chen Bei had been discharged from the hospital and was sitting in a daze in the office of the security department, when he suddenly saw his mother and Ma Chunhua come in, and he suddenly felt bad.

"Xiaobei, how long are you going to hide from your mother?" Xia Xiaoqing said with a smile and handed Ma Chunhua's hand to Chen Bei, "Chunhua, this kid is good, you two will do it on the 11th National Day." ”

Ma Chunhua said happily: "Yes, I will make a report to apply for marriage." ”

Chen Bei shook off Ma Chunhua's hand, turned his head and left.

"You come back to me!" Ma Chunhua shouted in the back.

Chen Bei didn't look back, jumped on the motorcycle, twisted the accelerator, and drove away with a bang.

"Auntie, look at his attitude!" Ma Chunhua stomped her feet.

Xia Xiaoqing said: "Don't worry, Sun Monkey can't escape from the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha." ”

In a fit of rage, Chen Bei rode a motorcycle to the provincial capital to find his father to comment.

But Chen Zikun was not on his side, but reprimanded him: "You can bear the trouble you caused, a big girl doesn't dislike you as a cripple, you still pick and choose, whether you are a man, this family business, you have to agree, you have to agree, if you don't agree, you have to agree!" ”
