After seeing off his old father who had rushed to the Northeast with a car full of worries, Fang Zhongwen returned to the slightly empty study, and only then did he feel a little relieved.
No one can stop the old man's stubbornness. I just hope everything goes well on the journey and he won't cause too much trouble for Qingyang when he arrives in the Northeast.
He rubbed his brows, preparing to deal with the backlog of documents on his desk.
His eyes swept across the table, and suddenly he saw a plain-looking envelope pressed on the surface.
The handwriting on the envelope was exactly that of his son Lu Qingyang.
This letter was sent together with the letter announcing the good news two days ago, but the envelope had a separate address "Father's Personal Address".
The old man was present at the time and was very emotional. Fang Zhongwen didn't have time to take a closer look and just pressed it against the document.
"Panyun." Fang Zhongwen picked up the letter and motioned to his wife who came in to clean up the teacups, "Qingyang, write me a letter alone."
"Oh? For you alone?" Panyun came closer curiously. "This child is hiding something from you, his father? Come and see what he is talking about. Is he in need of something but is too embarrassed to ask his family?"
She instinctively thought that her son was privately asking his father for help.
Fang Zhongwen said nothing. He carefully cut open the envelope with a paper cutter and pulled out the letter inside.
The letter was written on ordinary manuscript paper, but the handwriting was clear and powerful, but the content was not the complaint that Pan Yun had expected.
He first glanced at her quickly, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Then, he slowed down and read word by word with a focused expression.
The more he looked, the sharper his eyes became. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and his fingers were tapping lightly on the letter paper unconsciously.
Panyun watched her husband's changing expressions from side to side, and became even more curious: "What's going on? What does the letter say? Judging from your behavior, is Qingyang in trouble?"
"No, it's not a problem..." Fang Zhongwen shook his head slowly, his eyes still on the letter paper, and his voice was full of surprise: "This girl... This girl is talking to me about... the direction of the wind."
"Wind direction?" Pan Yun was even more confused.
"Yeah." Fang Zhongwen finally raised his head and handed the letter to Xiao Panyun, pointing to a few paragraphs, "Look here, and here."
Panyun took the letter and read along the direction her husband pointed. In the first half of the letter, Lu Qingyang first greeted her parents, reconfirmed the good news that Chen Mo was pregnant with twins, and asked her family to rest assured that he would take good care of his wife and children. But in the second half, the tone of the letter changed and talked about what she had seen and thought in the village.
Lu Qingyang wrote in the letter:
"Father, although the countryside is remote, the people are gradually becoming wiser. After work, the members often gather to discuss current affairs. Recently, I heard that 'practice is the only criterion for testing truth', and it is occasionally mentioned in the fields. Although this trend is subtle, its meaning is very clear, just like the undercurrent of an glacier. I see this theory directly pointing to the core, and the intention of breaking the old and establishing the new is obvious. Maybe it is the harbinger of a new situation in the future?"
"In the production team, I tried to use the collective strength to start one or two side businesses (hot springs, greenhouses, and gas processing). The purpose was to improve the lives of the members and relieve the worries of the elderly and the weak. At first, I was worried that I might be suspected of "not doing the main business" and "focusing on side businesses and neglecting agriculture." However, looking at the results, the collective income increased, the members benefited, the people were united, and the enthusiasm was doubled. Can such practices also be regarded as an exploration of "productive power" and "production-production relationship"? Is it in line with the spirit of "seeking truth from facts"? "
"In my humble opinion, if this trend starts, it will spread from the bottom to the outside, just like the spring thunder that awakens the insects. At that time, the constraints may be released and vitality can be expected. Father is at the center of the party and has access to information. I wonder if he can have a deeper understanding of this trend? As a grassroots person, I should also judge the situation and act accordingly, striving to find a feasible development path for the collective and the hometown..."
Fang Zhongwen looked at his wife's face as she read, showing surprise and a little confusion, and sighed: "This girl... has a sharp eye! She is from the countryside, but her political sense is sharper than many of us in the government!"
Fang Zhongwen's eyes continued to move on the letter paper. When he read Lu Qingyang's part about "Possible policy suggestions for the future", his breathing involuntarily slowed down, and his eyes were full of shock!
Although this part of the discussion still maintains a cautious tone, the insights contained in it are like thunder, exploding in the heart of this person who is at the center and has seen many storms!
About land vitality, market circulation, and commune-brigade enterprises...
These are similar to the rumors we just received, and will not spread outside.
The problem is that these are obviously not understood by the first level, but are all seen through by his son. This son is really unbelievable.
