The wind was getting stronger day by day, shaking the branches and asking, "When will the New Year be celebrated?" When will the New Year be celebrated?
The branch that was almost shaken bare dropped two leaves helplessly, and said with a rustling voice with a sense of despair, "It's almost there, it's almost there."
With the formal signing of the cooperation agreement between Jincheng Tongda Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd. and Hushan Village Collective Asset Management Co., Ltd.,
The establishment of the scenic spot operation platform company jointly funded by both parties (Tongda Culture and Tourism invested in cash, and Hushan Village Collective Asset Management Company invested in land discount and part of cash) has also entered the comprehensive and formal consultation preparation stage.
Of course, it will take at least another month or two to officially complete all the formalities.
However, the preliminary survey and other preparatory work have been carried out in succession, and construction can begin as soon as the order is given.
The days in Qianfu Town were just like the past six months, peaceful yet filled with hope, and reflected on everyone's face were the increasing number of smiles.
The government's work suddenly became easier during the busy period before the New Year.
All those things like going to the countryside to help the poor, industrial guidance, preparing for and sending inspections, and expressing condolences and negotiations are temporarily separated by a separator in front of the Spring Festival, a major event celebrated by all Chinese people.
One day before the Chinese New Year, Huo Qianli took half a day off, bought some things and went somewhere alone.
After going through layers of checks and waiting for a long time, he saw the familiar figure through the window.
Perhaps it was because the stripes on the prison uniform made him look thinner, he looked much thinner than before, but his complexion was obviously better.
Huo Qianli picked up the microphone in front of him, looked at the face opposite him that had become thinner and more angular, and said, "I brought you something. After all, it's the New Year."
The person on the other side might have wanted to remain silent, but remembering that prison visits were time-limited, he nodded and said, "Thank you."
"How are you doing?"
Huo Qianli felt a little regretful after asking this question, but the answer came from the microphone, "It's good. I sleep more soundly than before."
Now it was Huo Qianli's turn to remain silent. After a moment, he spoke, "I've asked a friend to take care of the child at school. There's no problem, don't worry."
"Brother, I want to ask you for another favor."
......
Two hours later, Huo Qianli arrived at the door of a restaurant in Jincheng and found the lobby manager.
As the saying goes, one's body changes with the environment, and his aura changes with the place he lives. After several years of career as a cadre, Huo Qianli has acquired a somewhat distinguished aura. Although he came alone, the lobby manager, who had seen countless people, did not dare to neglect him. After listening to what he said, he quickly called out a young man.
The young man in work uniform saw Huo Qianli, was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and stood there motionless.
The lobby manager took one look and found that he knew the man, so he felt relieved.
Huo Qianli handed the cigarettes he had bought in his bag to the lobby manager and put them in his hand, asking him to do it. The lobby manager smiled and agreed knowingly.
Pulling the young man aside and pressing him into a seat, Huo Qianli sat down next to him and looked at him straight, "Who am I?"
The young man still lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Uncle Huo."
"Since you know me, why don't you dare look up at me?"
The young man pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Because you are the son of a criminal?"
The young man raised his head suddenly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, then disappeared and drooped again.
Huo Qianli looked at the top of the young man's head and said softly, "Do you know? I sent your father in personally."
The young man shuddered, but still said nothing.
"But I went to see him just now, and he didn't hold any grudge against me. Do you know what that means?"
The young man was silent, and then he shook his head slightly in the same silence as Huo Qianli.
Huo Qianli then said: "It means that he knows he was wrong and he regrets it."
He sighed, "Let me tell you the story of your father and I."
So, he talked about his first meeting with Wang Anquan, the work they had done together in Hushan Village, and the support and praise from the people. The young man slowly raised his head, with a strange light in his eyes.
Then, after returning to Qianfu Town, the young man knew the result, but was also attracted by Huo Qianli's story and stared at him unconsciously.
Hearing his father stand firm for two years, fighting corruption;
Hearing that his father's faith was finally crushed by other things, and he slowly compromised, and once he gave up, he made mistakes for the rest of his life;
His expression gradually became complicated, no longer just anger.
"Before the Commission for Discipline Inspection came, I talked to your father. He was very calm. He was not hysterical or angry. He just felt regretful and remorseful. Before he left, he asked me for a favor."
Huo Qianli looked into his eyes and said, "He asked me to take care of you."
"Everyone makes mistakes. Have you made mistakes? Of course you have. When I was a kid, I lied, stole money, broke things, fought, and swore at people. These were all mistakes. I have made mistakes too. No one is perfect in this world."
"But I think we should neither dwell on past mistakes and delay today, nor punish ourselves for the mistakes of others. You are a college student, an adult, you have read history, and you have lived your life for more than ten years. Ask yourself, is what you are doing now right?"
The young man remained silent.
"You feel that you have been wronged and that others will look down on you, so you try to escape and act like an ostrich. But have you ever thought about your mother? Where can she escape to? You still have school and classmates, but what about her? In such a big family, she is the only one left in an instant. How did she survive those days?"
