Zhou Zhiyuan, secretary of the Saikun County Party Committee, returned to Beijing and went to visit his parents first. His parents were very happy because their son had not visited them for a long time.
Although Zhou Zhiyuan's parents live in a courtyard house in the capital, they have always been concerned about Zhou Zhiyuan, Yuebei City and Saikun County.
Zhou Zhiyuan knew very well that from ancient times to the present, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial.
Zhou Zhiyuan stood in front of the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard house in Beijing, with an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.
He took a deep breath and pushed open the wooden door that seemed to lead to another world.
"Son!" The mother's voice came from the house with surprise and excitement.
Zhou Zhiyuan walked quickly into the house and saw both his parents standing up from their seats, with long-lost smiles on their faces.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes were slightly red, and he held his parents' hands tightly, as if he wanted to pour out all the longing and guilt he had felt during this period.
Zhou Zhiyuan's parents asked him to sit down and asked him about his work and life in Saikun County with concern.
Zhou Zhiyuan answered their questions one by one, and also did not forget to share with them the development and changes in Saikun County.
Hearing about their son's deeds in working for the welfare of the people in remote areas, his parents felt extremely proud and gratified.
In the corner of the courtyard, an ancient locust tree stands quietly, witnessing the family reunion moment.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked up and saw the locust tree was lush and green.
An idea struck him, and he said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I want to plant a tree in the yard, just like this locust tree, to witness the growth and changes of our family."
The parents smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.
So Zhou Zhiyuan chose a fruit tree with auspicious meaning and planted it in the yard with his parents.
At that moment, they seemed to see the beautiful picture of their future family and felt the deep affection between them.
During his stay in Beijing, Zhou Zhiyuan not only accompanied his parents but also actively participated in various activities and meetings.
He always keeps his mission and responsibilities in mind, and strives to obtain more resources and support for the development of Yuebei City and Saikun County.
At a symposium with Beijing entrepreneurs, Zhou Zhiyuan met an entrepreneur who was passionate about charity.
The two had a very pleasant chat. The entrepreneur expressed admiration for Zhou Zhiyuan's work and offered to donate funds to the education cause in Saikun County.
Zhou Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude and said that he would do his best to contribute to the educational development of Saikun County.
After returning to Saikun County, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately began to implement the entrepreneur's donation.
He personally went to the school to discuss with the teachers how to use the funds reasonably to maximize the quality of education.
Under Zhou Zhiyuan's promotion, the education in Saikun County has made great progress, the hardware facilities of many schools have been improved, and the teaching staff has been strengthened.
At the same time, Zhou Zhiyuan is also paying attention to rural revitalization and poverty alleviation work.
He went deep into the fields, had cordial communication with farmers, and understood their needs and difficulties.
Under his leadership, Saikun County not only achieved rapid economic development, but also won the honorary title of "National Advanced County in Poverty Alleviation".
However, Zhou Zhiyuan did not become complacent about this.
He knew that as the county party secretary, he shouldered a more important mission and responsibility.
He will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of Saikun County and Yuebei City. At the same time, he will fulfill his filial piety and spend more time accompanying and caring for his elderly parents.
As time went by, Zhou Zhiyuan found a balance between loyalty and filial piety.
Zhou Zhiyuan pushed open the familiar yet slightly old wooden door of the courtyard again, and the warmth of home came over him.
When the parents heard the noise, they immediately came out of the house, their faces filled with unconcealable joy.
"Son, you're finally back!" The mother's voice trembled a little, and tears flashed in her eyes.
His father grabbed Zhou Zhiyuan's hand and shook it hard, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, his eyes moistening.
He knew that as the county party secretary, he shouldered heavy responsibilities and felt extremely guilty for not being able to go home to visit his parents for a long time.
But his parents' understanding and support are his greatest motivation to move forward.
The family sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted about family matters.
His parents asked Zhou Zhiyuan about his work in Saikun County. Zhou Zhiyuan answered patiently while listening to his parents' advice and concerns.
He knew that although he was in officialdom, his parents' hearts were always concerned about him, and this family affection was his eternal support.
During the conversation, Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't help but mention the recent developments in Yuebei City and Saikun County.
He gave a detailed introduction to his series of measures on how to adapt to local conditions, promote local economic development and improve people's livelihood.
The parents listened with great interest, nodded in praise from time to time, their faces filled with pride and satisfaction.
Zhou Zhiyuan knew that although he could not be with his parents for a long time, their hearts were always closely connected with him.
He knew very well that it was difficult to be both loyal and filial, but he also firmly believed that as long as he had a sense of family and country and worked hard, that was the best way to be filial to his parents.
In this way, Zhou Zhiyuan spent a few warm and wonderful days in the capital.
In his interactions with his parents, he regained strength and courage and prepared to embark on the journey of serving the people again.
He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead would be, with the support and blessings of his parents, he would move forward courageously, live up to their trust, and live up to his youth.
Zhou Zhiyuan stood at the highest point in Saikun County, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
As the county party secretary, he shoulders the expectations and trust of the people of the county and works hard every day for the prosperity and development of the county.
However, he also knew that this duty and mission often prevented him from fulfilling his filial duties to his elderly mother.
The mother knew that her son was an ambitious person, and taught him from an early age to devote himself to the country and the people.
However, whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she couldn't help but think of her son snuggling in her arms when he was a child. Those warm times seemed like they happened just yesterday.
Zhou Zhiyuan is often troubled by this contradictory emotion.
He knew that he should devote himself to his work and seek the welfare of the people in the county.
However, whenever he thought of his mother's lonely figure and longing eyes, his heart would feel a pang of pain.
He tried to take leave to go home and be with his mother, but the pressure of work and the expectations of the people prevented him from leaving for long.
One day, Zhou Zhiyuan received an urgent report about a county education project.
This project is of great significance to improving the local education level and is a work that he has always attached great importance to.
However, at the same time, he received a call from home, saying that his mother was suddenly ill and urgently needed his company and care.
Zhou Zhiyuan was caught in a dilemma.
