    On February 14, 1991, a heavy snowfall came silently the night before. When I opened the door, I saw that the outside was covered with snow and it was refreshing. I smelled the cold air without a trace of dirty smell, even if it was  People who are in a bad mood will also feel better.  What¡¯s more, today is still New Year¡¯s Eve.  When it¡¯s still very early in the day, people open their doors early. Although they have almost cleaned up before, every household still cleans the courtyard and porch, pours water on the surface, puts up Spring Festival couplets, and sets up ancestral tablets according to customs.  This time is very particular. In addition to following the old rules of "no going out and no entering" after the twelfth lunar month, we also have to stick to certain customs on the door with painted window paper saying "invite the gods" and "receive the master".  This is a time when every family not only seeks blessings from their ancestors, but also shows off their craftsmanship to outsiders.  Du Fei got up early. She took out a broom from her house and swept the snow in the yard. Because it was too cold, her originally white face was as cold as a red apple.  A faint sound from the courtyard door caught Du Fei's attention. She raised her head, and then saw Su Qian standing at the courtyard door with some surprise.  Su Qian was wearing a red down jacket, but she still looked very cold.  Looking at Du Fei, Su Qian called out in a low voice: "Xiao Fei." Du Fei's face didn't look so pretty. In fact, she knew that her brother and Su Qian had a really good relationship before, and Su Qian suddenly fell in love with Du Yan.  Du Fei's strong performance when encountering changes made Du Fei have to admit that if her brother wanted to find a good wife, Su Qian really had nothing to say, but when she thought of what happened the day before, she really couldn't swallow that breath.  "Qianqian is here," Sang Shulan came out of the house. She was cleaning the house. The rag that had just been soaked in hot water was still steaming. "Come in quickly, it's too cold outside." "Auntie," Su Qian said first  She let out a low cry, then walked over and took the rag from Sang Shulan's hand. "Auntie, let me do it. Thank you." Su Qian walked to the door and started wiping the glass.  "How can Qianqian let you do this work? Come to the house quickly," Sang Shulan said nonchalantly, "Why don't Xiaofei go get the stove for you, Sister Qianqian? Come out so early to see it."  "It's freezing." "As for that, I'm not afraid of the cold. Who told us to live in an old dilapidated house without even a heater? Would my daughter like it?" Du Fei said coldly, seeing Su Qian looking over.  With a helpless look, Du Fei snorted and turned away, "Anyway, my brother is incompetent. He just asked someone to jerk off the mayor if he didn't know anything. Why did he come to our house if he can't even hope for it?"  " Hearing Du Fei scolding her with the words her mother said when she came to Du's house to make trouble the day before, Su Qian couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart, and she was about to wipe the tears in her eyes with a rag.  "Shut up, stop saying a few words and no one will treat you like a mute." Sang Shulan scolded her daughter in a low voice. She stretched out her hand to stop Su Qian and took the rag from her hand. "You are a big New Year person. You are such a delicate person."  "It's not good to cry." When she heard about the Chinese New Year, Su Qian forced herself to hold back her tears, for fear of making Sang Shulan unhappy.  "Qianqian, good boy, let's go into the house." Sang Shulan said as she turned around and glared at Du Fei. When she saw her daughter turning her head and angrily sweeping the yard with a broom, Sang Shulan shook her head helplessly.  .  As a mother, she naturally knows what her daughter is thinking, but who says her children don't have this fate? Besides, Su Qian is really a good child. Yesterday, after hearing that her mother was making noise again, she immediately followed her and persuaded Gu Weifen to leave.  , I came here so early today, obviously to apologize for what happened yesterday.  "Qianqian is here." Du Zhenhai greeted him. Like his wife, Du Zhenhai also had a very good impression of Su Qian. The most rare thing was that when Du Yan went through such a huge ups and downs in their eyes, Su Qian could always be so close.  Not giving up also made Du Zhenhai recognize this daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart. "Xiaoyan probably won't get home until evening. I don't know what he is busy with now." "Uncle, my mother did something wrong yesterday. Don't worry about it, auntie.  "Su Qian whispered. She wasn't so reluctant to let go, but her mother's repeated unreasonable troubles made her unable to hold her head high in front of the Du family. "I apologize to you and my aunt on behalf of my mother." "Silly boy.  What are you talking about? We are still talking about this in our own family." Sang Shulan held Su Qian's hand and couldn't help but smile. Looking at Su Qian who was becoming more and more handsome, Sang Shulan liked her from the bottom of her heart, but gradually she fell in love with her.  The look in her eyes at Su Qian became a little strange. After saying a few more words, Sang Shulan made an excuse and took Su Qian into the back room.  "Qianqian, don't mind if aunt asks you something, but you have to tell the truth to aunt," Sang Shulan looked at Su Qian, whose face turned red immediately after hearing her words. Although she had already made up her mind, she still  Decided to ask clearly, "Have you and Xiaoyan already been intimate?""Auntie!" Su Qian lowered her head, then lowered her head, her head almost pierced into the plump breasts on her chest.  "Silly boy, you still call me aunt," Sang Shulan looked at Su Qian with a smile. Although Gu Weifen was really unpleasant, seeing Su Qian's well-behaved look, Sang Shulan's dissatisfaction from the previous day faded away.  "Xiao Fei is not sensible. As a sister-in-law, please bear with her in the future." Hearing Sang Shulan's words, Su Qian nodded shyly, and then shook her head in a panic.  "What, you don't want to be Xiaofei's sister-in-law?" Sang Shulan asked Su Qian jokingly. Seeing that Su Qian was so amused that she nodded or shook her head, she couldn't help laughing, and then sighed softly, "Can you see?"  Your uncle and I are really happy that you and Xiaoyan are so good. I'm not praising my child. Xiaoyan has done his duty since he was a child. I believe him if he does something wrong at work, but I don't believe him if he embezzles state funds.  After all, it¡¯s his mother, and I should trust him. What¡¯s rare is that you, Qianqian, can always trust him so much. Qianqian, I¡¯ll tell you something today, let alone Xiaoyan, he won¡¯t be a high official in the future, even if he really does.  That blessing will last a lifetime for you and him. If he has any second thoughts about becoming an official in the future, tell Mom, even if he becomes the county party secretary, Mom will give him a slap in the face. " "Mom!"  Shulan's words triggered a burst of joy, grievance, or the excitement that had been caused by worry and uneasiness for a long time. Su Qian was completely released at this moment!  Su Qian threw herself into Sang Shulan's arms and just kept crying. Du Fei, who heard the noise in the back room just after entering the room, immediately frowned, but before she could say anything, Du Zhenhai glared at her and said  Scared back.  "Xiao Fei, be more respectful to Qian Qian from now on," Du Zhenhai's voice was low, but it seemed unquestionable, "Remember, we are a family from now on. Speaking of which, if you get married and leave the house in the future, you will have to see Qian Qian when you return to your parents' home.  Qian, are you willing? " "I don't want to get married, and I won't get married in this life!" After hearing what his father said, Du Fei was stunned and whispered, but Du Zhenhai didn't pay attention to his daughter's muttering, let alone  When Du Fei said this, she showed a determination that was completely inconsistent with her youth.  Du Yan rushed home when it was already dark and firecrackers had started to be set off in many places, so it was a pity that he could not see Su Qian.  Although Su Qian is now semi-publicly regarded as a member of the Du family, after all, the two of them have not yet formally completed the formalities. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, Su Qian has to say goodbye and go home despite her unwillingness.  Speaking of which, it was unfortunate. Not long after Su Qian left, Du Yan entered the house. He heard that he and Su Qian had missed each other. Although he felt a little regretful, there was nothing he could do about it.  The 1991 Spring Festival Gala ended with bursts of joy and laughter. Although I always feel that many of the programs are outdated when I look at those programs again, whether it is the hilarious sketch "The Cop and the Thief" or the cheerful children's song "Dalian Sing", it makes me happy.  Du Yan rediscovered those later generations who, despite high investment and high cost, were full of film and television singers, but always felt that they lacked the feeling of eliciting sincere smiles.  Until midnight came, the sound of firecrackers gradually became denser and finally connected into an earth-shattering sound. After smelling the choking smell in the air, he gave Du Fei, who was pestering him for new year's money, a small  After giving the small red envelope, Du Yan accompanied his parents back to the main room.  "Xiaoyan, I'll go to Su Qian's house tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." According to the rules of old age, after leading the whole family to lay incense on the ancestral tablet, Du Zhenhai said slowly, "By this time next year, Qianqian will almost be part of our family. Her mother  Maybe he is a bad person, but our family cannot lose its rules and etiquette." Sang Shulan smiled and nodded, while secretly glaring at Du Fei who was about to speak again.  Du Yan was silent for a moment. Under the slightly surprised gazes of Du Zhenhai and his wife, he said apologetically to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I was just about to tell you that I have to leave tomorrow morning and I don't have time to go to Su Qian's house."  Happy New Year." "Tomorrow morning?" Sang Shulan looked at Du Yan in surprise, "Where are you going? You won't be staying home for two more days during the New Year?" "No way, it's work." Du Yan smiled bitterly.  , he didn't expect that his work schedule would suddenly change before the Spring Festival, and another thing that was beyond his expectation prevented him from staying at home and having a solid Spring Festival.  "How is your matter decided by the organization?" Du Zhenhai looked at his son with a slightly serious look. Although he knew that the previous matter should have been clarified, as soon as he returned to Pingling, he heard that Du Yan had been dismissed from the post of mayor by his superiors.  Go, but there is only one explanation for what to do next, "the work will be arranged separately", which makes Du Zhenhai feel at ease.  "There are no arrangements yet, but there should be news almost there. We will have to wait for the details." Although Du Yan already had a general idea of ??what he was going to do,However, it is not easy to reveal the direction to the parents before it is confirmed. "I am going to the capital this time. Zhao Xiaoyun is going back to the capital tomorrow. I will go with her car." "Going to the capital? With Sister Xiaoyun?"  Du Fei's eyes immediately became alive, and Du Yan couldn't help but be startled by the inexplicable burning fire of gossip.  "Well, because time is running out, I won't be able to go there for the Chinese New Year this year. Let's talk to Qianqian later when she comes. I'll find a chance to give her a call as well." Du Yan was a little helpless, as communication tools were lagging behind at this time.  People often miss out once they miss it. This makes Du Yan feel that if he has the opportunity to develop the paging industry or the mobile communication industry that will become popular soon, he may make a lot of money. Unfortunately, this  Just thinking about it casually, not to mention that there is no capital at all. Anyone who is familiar with the inside story of these industries will know that doing this kind of business in this era is definitely not something that can only be done with money.  "Why do you have to leave on the first day of the new year? Why didn't Xiaoyun come home?" Sang Shulan asked a little strangely. Although Mr. Qiao and Zhao Xiaoyun had helped her family a lot, and they heard that her son  It was their great efforts to clear the grievances, but when she thought of her son and Mr. Zhao Xiaoyun, who was so alone, Sang Shulan felt a little worried. "Where is Mr. Qiao? Is she going back together?"  It's also strange that Qiao Luowei has never shown up since he arranged for Du Zhenhai's family. In the next few days, he heard that people from the Huachang Group's Pingling office had submitted various financial information about the original investment in the three towns.  The relevant departments conducted an investigation, but since then I have never seen Mr. Qiao, who has an indifferent personality and cold appearance.  "It seems that he returned to the capital early, I don't know." Hearing that Qiao Luowei was mentioned, Du Yan felt a little disappointed for some reason. Qiao Luowei has been in a good mood ever since they met at the Qifengshan Hotel.  Miaomiao, but he didn't know whether it was because she wanted to avoid Song Jiayi or for some other reason. Du Yan couldn't help but feel a slight twinge in his heart when he thought of that beautiful face that always seemed to be full of repulsion, cool and breathtaking.  The ripples of "I went to the capital this time to meet a professor from Jinghua University. I contacted him some time ago because of some work insights. Now I have time to visit him. By the way, I want to learn something from him.  Can I study systematically at Jinghua University, which will be of great help to my future work? Secretary Li and I have already reported this, and he is very supportive." After the corruption investigation came to an end, Du Yan and Li Peizheng agreed.  Although Du Yan was grateful for Li Peizheng's support for his righteous deeds during such a difficult time, after the call was connected, he didn't know where to start.  And Li Peizheng only said a few words of encouragement to his former secretary, but when he was about to hang up at the end, Li Peizheng said calmly: "Xiao Du, being an official is difficult, but being a responsible and courageous official is even more difficult.  Difficult. Remember, no matter where you go in the future, don¡¯t let the anger in your heart disappear. "Brother, you want to go to Jinghua?"  He shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Don't you know that my biggest dream is to go to Jinghua University?" Looking at Du Fei jumping up and down, Du Yan just smiled. He knew that if there were no big changes, Du Yan would  Fei will eventually be admitted to Tongyang University. Although this is a pity, according to Du Yan's knowledge, Du Fei, who received the admission notice in his previous life, was not very depressed but seemed to be relieved. This made Du Yan  Never understood what was going on.  Du Yan nodded: "There is no specific work scheduled during this period, so I want to take this opportunity to go to the capital to get these things done. When the work is arranged, there will be no time." "Then go," Du Zhenhai  Nodding, he has always been very reassured about his son. Although the work has not been officially arranged yet, judging from his son's demeanor, he should have some clues. "Find time to have a phone call with Qianqian to reassure her. It's not easy for this child."  "I know, Dad," Du Yan responded in a low voice. Seeing that his sister was still there and seemed very excited, Du Yan smiled and flicked Du Fei's forehead, "Brother, I will bring you some reference this time.  Come back, maybe this time you will actually get admitted to the elite school." Touching her sore forehead, Du Fei looked at her brother blankly, then she suddenly pulled up her face and said, "Who cares?  What kind of Jinghua University!" Then he turned around and walked out to his room.  Only Du Fei, who was looking at his sister's back in confusion, was left in the room, and Du Zhenhai and his wife looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly after seeing this.  February 15, 1991, the first day of the Lunar New Year.  Du Yan, who had been vigiling with his family all night, washed his face and felt refreshed. After saying hello to his parents, he left home.  Go to the street,Du Yan hesitated slightly as he looked at the streets, which were bright but actually reflected like daylight from the heavy snowfall the day before.  If he hurried, he might be able to make a quick trip to Su Qian's house. He was eager to try, but just as his feet moved, a familiar Mitsubishi Pajero had already appeared at the intersection in the distance, looking at the snow-covered road.  Du Yan already knew that Zhao Xiaoyun didn't seem to be in a good mood today due to the white mist rising behind the car when the road turned.  Pajero stopped next to Du Yan and opened the car door. Du Yan became more sure of his thoughts. Looking at Du Yan who got into the car, Zhao Xiaoyun stepped on the accelerator without saying anything. After Du Yan hurriedly buckled the seat belt, she  His feet simply stepped on the bottom.  "You don't want to live, I haven't lived enough yet," because he was a little annoyed, Du Yan scolded him regardless of whether he was celebrating the Chinese New Year or not, "Who hired you again?" "It's you!" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly stepped on the brakes,  The Pajero suddenly slid out of a long deep groove on the snowy road.  Du Yan's body suddenly fell forward. Although he had a safety belt, the force still made him feel uncomfortable!  "What's wrong with you?" Du Yan asked helplessly. The contact with Zhao Xiaoyun during this period of time made him know that this is a girl who looks tough but is actually very innocent. Sometimes she is still very cute, as long as she is not provoked.  she.  "Mr. Qiao has gone back to the south," Zhao Xiaoyun turned around and said to Du Yan, "I called the capital yesterday, and they told me that Mr. Qiao just left yesterday." "Back to the south?" Du Yan vaguely remembered hearing Zhao Xiaoyun say about Qiao Luo.  Wei should be from Jiangnan, but Qiao Luowei, who is supposed to be with the Song family during the Chinese New Year, would go back to the south on New Year's Eve, and "Why didn't she take you with her?" "It's not because of you.  !" Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly turned red. "Mr. Qiao must have noticed something, so he left like this without telling me." "What does it have to do with me," Du Yan muttered with a hint of guilt.  Zhao Xiaoyun glared over again, and he immediately pointed to the traffic policeman in front of him who seemed to have noticed the Pajero that had been parked in the middle of the road. "If you don't want to cause any more trouble, drive quickly. It's still a long way from here to the capital." Zhao Xiaoyun said again  Du Yan glared hard, stopped talking, started the Pajero and drove forward.  There was silence in the car for a while. Looking at the road ahead, Du Yan fell into deep thought.  Qian Zhicheng finally failed to stay in the position of deputy director of the Tongyang Geographical Records Office. Less than a week later, he was announced to retire early due to physical reasons.  As for Qian Xiaocheng, although he has a bad record, according to the investigation, he has no direct relationship with the Zhao Aiguo drug gang case. He only acted as a protective umbrella for criminal gangs after being deceived.  But despite this, his rape of women and many previous misdeeds alone are enough to land him in jail for several years.  But according to some rumors, Qian Zhicheng went to Zhang Sheng to plead for mercy after his son's accident. Not only did Zhang Sheng not refuse, but he also kept Qian Zhicheng in his villa for a long time. Du Yan believed this.  When sentencing Qian Xiaocheng, the judge should have had a picture in mind.  There is never true fairness in the world, let alone true selflessness. Du Yan believes that if Zhang Sheng refuses Qian Zhicheng's plea at this time, it may not only not be selfless in the eyes of many people, but also a way to make things worse.  .  This has almost become a custom in the domestic officialdom. As long as the relationship between power and power is not too great, people are not stingy about helping a person in trouble. Whether it is a matter of friendship or selling a favor, it is true.  It is this complicated network of relationships that confuses various thoughts and forms the unique environment of domestic officialdom.  And if you think about it carefully, Zhang Sheng reached out to pull Qian Zhicheng at this time, and even stayed in his municipal party committee villa No. 1 for so long. He was trying to win the first battle, and he was trying to send a strong signal to Han Jiaqi, who was chasing the bandits bravely!  Thinking about it now, although Han Jiaqi had the upper hand in this matter, Zhang was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and had a strong background as deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. How could Han Jiaqi easily shake him?  Yang Weiquan should not feel comfortable at this time.  This thought flashed through Du Yan's mind.  Qu Xiangshan finally took a step forward, but he was not the first deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as rumored earlier, but the executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Although the rank was also a higher level, the trick in this was not something that others could see.  Got it.  What gives Du Yan a slight headache is that according to Zhao Xiaoyun¡¯s news, Qu Xiangshan¡¯s replacement as full-time deputy secretary of the Taihua Municipal Committee is Zhang Wenliang, who was transferred to Taihua City¡¯s executive deputy mayor last summer.  And Zhang Wenliang had a son named Zhang Tao.
