Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 457 Preparation
If Li Yancheng and he were sent abroad at the same time, with the support of Mr. Luo, Zheng Zongtao would have the possibility of taking up a position half a level higher than his current level.

But Li Yancheng couldn't do that. He could only go to a director-general level position, put the benefits into practice, work for a few more years, and then have a chance of promotion after he achieved results.

But Zheng Zongtao also understood that even though he seemed to be at a higher level now, it was only because he worked as a secretary for Mr. Luo. Li Yancheng was Mr. Luo's son-in-law and a family member. Let's wait and see in ten years. No, he believed that it would not even take ten years, five years would be enough. Maybe in five years, the two of them would not be on the same level.

Therefore, every time Mr. Luo gave instructions regarding Li Yancheng, he would take it very seriously. No matter which position this person would be transferred to in the future, as long as they had a good relationship now, it would be their network in the future, right?

After the meeting, Mr. Luo left. The Hong Kong businessmen, accompanied by the foreign affairs department, continued their sightseeing in Beijing, while those who returned to their hotels in Beijing were taken back by special cars.

The Cheng family's mother and two sons were the guests of honor this time and were in this car.

In fact, in addition to the three of them, there was a driver and two accompanying staff members from the foreign affairs department.

Fu Shuyi didn't want to visit Beijing because she had lived in this city for quite a long time before liberation. Apart from the new places built after liberation, there was no place she had not been to. She had even been to the throne room of the previous emperor, so she had no interest in it.

Cheng Jianwen and his wife Hao Yushi didn't want to go shopping, simply because the houses they came from the airport looked shabby and they thought there was nothing to see, and it would be better to stay in the hotel with his mother.

"Mom, why did I feel that the leader looked at me in a strange way at the banquet at noon?"

After arriving at the restaurant and asking the waiter who came in to make tea to leave, Cheng Jianwen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I felt it too, as if... as if I was seeing another person through what I saw and heard." Hao Yushi echoed as she poured water to make tea for her mother-in-law.

"Look at your elder brother through you." Fu Shuyi picked up the tea that her daughter-in-law had made, blew on it, took a sip, and said after putting down the teacup.

"When we were in Ugly Country, the person in charge of contact said that you and your elder brother look a lot like each other. The leader just now should have seen your elder brother before. No, he must have seen your elder brother before. He will definitely take a few more glances at you after seeing you."

Fu Shuyi's guess was correct, but she could never have guessed that the leader who would meet with them at noon would be her father-in-law.

The reason why Mr. Luo looked at Cheng Jianwen a few more times was indeed because he looked alike to Li Yancheng, except that he was a little thinner and lacked the masculine and iron-blooded aura, but had more of the mercenary nature of a businessman.

The old man just looked at them a few more times and didn't want to say anything more to them. This was his son-in-law's family affair, and as long as it did not violate organizational discipline, he would never interfere.

When talking about this elder brother whom he had never met but had heard of for decades, a complicated look flashed in Cheng Jianwen's eyes.

He wanted to have an older brother so that the two brothers could help their father together and jointly resist the covetousness of other members of the Cheng family about the position of head of the family.

But he was also afraid of having another older brother because then he would get less.

Although his mother had said that this eldest brother would definitely not compete with him for the family property, he was a living person after all, and the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family. He really had to return to his ancestral home, and as the second son, his position in his grandfather's heart must definitely be relegated to the back.

"Mom, you will be able to see that...big brother tomorrow. You...you must take care of yourself and don't get too excited."

Fu Shuyi's health has always been poor. Originally, Cheng Jiansheng, her husband and the biological father of Li Yancheng's body, did not intend to let her come to recognize her relatives this time because he was worried that she would be too excited and develop some cardiovascular disease.

But it is inconvenient for Cheng Jiansheng to come because of his identity, not to mention the old man of the Cheng family. The old man is in his eighties and almost ninety. No matter how healthy he is, at this age, all his organs must have some problems. Not to mention whether he would faint with excitement when seeing his eldest grandson whom he has been thinking about for decades, just letting him take a plane across half the world would cost the old man his life.

Up to now, he didn't dare let the old man know about this.

As for the other members of the Cheng family, Cheng Jiansheng didn't dare to let them come over, and he didn't even dare to let them know that the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family had been found, for fear that they would have some bad intentions.

There was no other choice. With Fu Shuyi's repeated emphasis, she had to be the only one to make the trip.

When they were in the Ugly Country, the couple learned from the contact in the foreign affairs department that their eldest son's current status meant he could not go abroad. The two discussed that since this was the case, and the country was just beginning to carry out internal reforms and open up to the outside world, they decided to see the situation and simply invest in something in the country and then leave the domestic industry to their eldest son.

But after communicating with the staff of the commercial department, I found out that although the Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Law was passed in 1979, legally allowing foreign direct investment in China for the first time, it only referred to the newly established economic zone in the south.

Moreover, as to whether it must be a joint venture or wholly foreign-owned, the authorities are still unsure and are awaiting approval.

In view of this, Fu Shuyi gave up the idea of ​​investing this time. She was also worried that the policy would change again. The Cheng family was rich, but the money did not come from the wind. She could let her son spend it at will, but she didn't want her own money to go down the drain.

But his desire to compensate his eldest son remained unchanged.

She had already thought about it and took the initiative to ask the accompanying personnel from the foreign affairs and commercial departments. She knew that the current per capita living area in the country was very small and housing was still allocated uniformly, but she also knew that there were commercial housing projects under construction in Beijing. She wanted to buy a few houses for her eldest son's family to improve their living environment and then save some money.

Her thoughts have been reported by her accompanying personnel, but she has not received a positive response yet.

Hearing her youngest son's words, Fu Shuyi smiled and patted his hand.

She was definitely excited. When she learned that her eldest son was missing, she almost cried her eyes out. Her physical problems were caused by that time.

Later, she gave birth to another child, and her health deteriorated. It’s only because she has been taking good care of herself in recent years. If her health condition had been the same more than ten years ago, she would have never been able to recover.

"Don't worry, Jianwen, Mom is in good health, and I have been taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time. Alas, Mom has no other thoughts, she just wants to see your eldest brother.

The world was so chaotic back then, and your eldest brother was lost in the bombing. Mom has been talking about him for decades. Now that I know he is still alive, living a good life, and has his own family, I can finally put my mind at ease.

As long as I can see him with my own eyes, my wish will be fulfilled. I have seen and heard that all these years, mom has been regretting it. If I had gone with them that day, maybe your brother would not have been lost. "

Seeing that the old lady's eyes were red, Cheng Jianwen quickly held the old lady's hand and comforted her.

"Mom, that's the war's fault, not yours. Don't take everything on yourself. Besides, isn't my eldest brother fine? We'll see him tomorrow.

Didn’t you say that not only is your eldest brother married, he has his own family and children, and he seems to be an official of moderate status, which means that your eldest brother should be living a good life. Don’t blame yourself too much, and don’t get excited.”

The old lady nodded with red eyes. Perhaps it was because she had returned to her hometown after decades of separation, or perhaps it was because she would soon see her relatives whom she had not seen for decades, but these past two days she had always wanted to cry.

But she also knew that she really couldn't get too excited, otherwise, she might end up in the hospital before she even saw her eldest son.

"Mom, please have some tea."

Seeing that the old lady's mood had calmed down a little, Hao Yushi quickly picked up the teacup on the coffee table.

"Jianwen, go discuss with the accompanying government staff and see if we can go to his house after we meet with your eldest brother here tomorrow."

After taking a sip of the tea brought by her daughter-in-law, the old lady remembered something and gave instructions.

She wanted to visit her eldest son's home to see how he was doing.

"Okay mom, I'll go ask someone right away."

The Cheng family's request really made the staff feel a little embarrassed, but it didn't matter. If they couldn't make the decision, they would report it to their superiors and let the people who had the power to make the decision have the headache.

Reports were sent up layer by layer, and no one dared to nod easily.

The main reason is that Li Yancheng's identity is too special. In addition to being a member of the Social Affairs Bureau, he is also an expert in the health care group. This is a position that must not be taken lightly.

Finally, around five o'clock in the afternoon, this matter appeared on the desks of all relevant leaders.

The leaders are still in a meeting in the auditorium. After receiving the report, the secretaries will certainly not go to the leaders right away. This matter will be put on hold for the time being, awaiting approval.

Li Yancheng skipped work again this afternoon. Today is Saturday and he has a day off tomorrow. His wife has one less class this afternoon and can finish school at a little after five.

He didn't have much to do in the office, so he said hello to his secretary and left early, went to the school to pick up his wife, and the two of them rushed home together. When they got home, the two children had already returned, and Jin Zhihai also drove the jeep of their office and followed behind. He came to take Huansheng and Xiaoyu to his home to make room for his brother to go to recognize his relatives tomorrow.

Li Yancheng did not tell his children about the matter of recognizing their relatives, and he had no plans to let them meet their step-grandmother for the time being.

He didn't even tell his two children that their grandparents were still alive and living in the Ugly Country.

The main reason why the children were not allowed to go to see their grandmother was that Li Yancheng was worried that the biological mother would give the children some inappropriate things after seeing them, and he would not be able to refuse, which would make it difficult for the staff, as they might have to hand them over in the end, which might even make the children unhappy.

So, he simply killed this possibility in advance.

After Jin Zhihai came over, he didn't stop. He picked up the two children and left. After he left, Li Yancheng and Luo Min were left at home.

As soon as the children left, the yard immediately became quiet. When the two children were there, even when they were doing their homework, they would shout from time to time, adding a bit of liveliness to the yard.

Now that things were quiet, the couple stood in the living room staring at each other. For a moment, they even lost the energy to cook.

So they just sat down on the three-seater sofa. Luo Min even kicked her slippers aside, put her long legs on the armrests of the sofa, and rested her head on her man's legs. It was quite comfortable. It was her favorite resting position. Usually, she was embarrassed to do this when the children were at home, but now she had no worries.

"Dacheng, you said we'll meet tomorrow...when we meet...what should I call you? I can't just call you mom when we meet, right?"

"Why call me mom?" Li Yancheng shook his head with amusement and reached out to gently stroke his wife's smooth and flawless face.

"Her last name is Fu, so she can be called Ms. Fu or Mrs. Cheng. Just like before liberation, in Hong Kong and China, it is customary to add the husband's surname before the woman's original surname after marriage."

"Ah? Do foreign women have to take their husband's surname after marriage?" Luo Min was a little surprised. She raised her eyelids and looked at her man's face from bottom to top. Except for looking more mature than ten years ago, there seemed to be no other changes.

"Yes, my passport and driver's license will also be changed."

"What if they can't live together and end up getting divorced?"

"Change it back."

"Isn't it troublesome to do this?"

"I guess I'm used to it."

It is hard to say whether it is good or bad for a woman to take her husband's surname after marriage. Just treat it as a custom.

But when it comes to equality, even after another forty years, European and American countries still cannot even compare with China. They just shout slogans and carry out propaganda all day long, pursuing verbal political correctness. It is the mainland that really puts it into practice.

When it comes to propaganda and public opinion warfare, China really cannot compare with those European and American countries, and this is still the case decades later.

After all, calling a deer a horse at least refers to four-legged animals, but the emperor's new clothes are pure foolishness.

"By the way, Dacheng, when I heard them chatting at school, they said that polygamy is still allowed in Hong Kong Island?"

"It has been cancelled now. I think it was cancelled in the early 1970s."

"Wasn't it abolished during the Republic of China period? Why did they not abolish it until the 1970s?"

"Hong Kong Island and Macau Island were leased out as early as the Qing Dynasty. They did not accept the laws promulgated by the Republic of China and still followed the laws of the Qing Dynasty. In the early 1970s, many laws promulgated by the Qing Dynasty were no longer relevant, so they were amended. It was also at this time that polygamy was abolished.

But the facts that have already happened are still recognized by the law, for example, the one who came this time... has three wives."

"Tsk tsk... Can your body handle it?" Luo Min curled her lips and said something that left Li Yancheng stunned and speechless.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Dacheng, what are you going to wear tomorrow?"

"Just wear our uniforms. It's also a subtle way of expressing our attitude."

Luo Min raised her hand and stroked her husband's face, and asked softly, "Dacheng, you... you really don't have any expectations for this recognition?"

“How should I put it? I can’t say I don’t have any expectations, but they aren’t very strong either. I’ve known about their existence for a long time and I know they’re doing well, and that’s enough.

I am already 40 years old this year, and half of my life has already passed. I really can't suddenly develop any particularly strong feelings for some people I haven't seen for decades.

But she is my biological mother after all, and she gave birth to me. It was not her fault that I got lost, but the war, so I am willing to recognize her.

I think she must have felt bad these years, and she is old now. Recognizing her is a way to understand her wishes.

Also, I heard from the comrades in the foreign affairs department that her health has not been very good, and it seems that she has cardiovascular problems. If possible, I will help her take a look.”

Li Yancheng had very complicated feelings towards the biological parents of this body, and he didn't know how to face them.

This recognition of relatives was also forced upon us, as it was required by the organization.

Looking at the melancholy face of her man, Luo Min propped up her upper body with some heartache and kissed him on the chin to give him some psychological support.

Seeing his wife's actions, Li Yancheng smiled and gently scratched her nose twice.

"Our dad asked us to go there after 8:30 p.m."

"Ah? Why did that point go over there?"

"He might have just finished his work by then."

"Uh... do you know what our dad wants us to do?"

"I know roughly. Something happened in the past two days. My father may need to explain it to me face to face. It's not clear over the phone. In addition..."

At this point, Li Yancheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"Also, my dad wants to transfer me to another unit, so we might have to discuss this."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Luo Min sat up suddenly and looked at her man with surprise.

"You're being transferred to another unit? Which unit... Oh, it should be the public security system. Are you still in Beijing? Or are you going to go somewhere else?"

"It's unlikely that he'll go anywhere else." Li Yancheng shook his head, leaned over to pick up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit one for himself.

Since the children were not at home, he did not go to the yard to smoke on purpose.

"If I were to work somewhere else at my current level, I would be the top leader, but I don't have much experience at the grassroots level, so neither the higher authorities nor the local authorities would feel at ease. After all, the Public Security Bureau is responsible for maintaining peace in the area, and its position is very important, so there can be no mistakes.

Therefore, it is very likely that I will stay in the Beijing Municipal Bureau as a deputy. I will train myself for a few years and then talk about other things after I have gained experience. "

In fact, after Su Xiaotong told him about this matter at noon, he went back and checked the current equipment of the Beijing Public Security System, and also figured out why the old man planned to arrange him in this way.

The current Director Mu of the Municipal Bureau will retire in two years at most.
