Return To 1977 Chapter 809: Lu Yanhua
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
At 8:30 in the evening, another resident of this garden villa - Lu Yanhua, the niece of Zeng Herong, deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Political and Legal Committee, came back.
Her own position is the chief prosecutor of the Second Branch of the Shanghai Municipal People's Procuratorate.
For her, working overtime until this hour is almost a daily routine.
So she was accustomed to the quiet atmosphere of this garden house. Today, she found in front of her house that the rooms belonging to the Qian family upstairs were almost all brightly lit, and there were bursts of piano sounds and cheers coming from the windows. Laughing, naturally I was very surprised.
So as soon as she entered the door, she couldn't help but ask the nanny Aunt Wu what was going on in the Qian family today.
I heard from Aunt Wu that the Qian family was hosting a girl, and she seemed to have brought a lot of luggage, as if she wanted to stay here permanently.
Her face immediately turned gray and she was very unhappy.
For no other reason, it is none of her business if guests come to the Qian family, but the girl who lives in the Qian family is a young person and most likely likes to be lively.
This is definitely not a good thing for her who needs to concentrate on her work in a relatively quiet state.
Sure enough, when she walked into the living room at home, she could still hear the chaotic sounds of the Qian family next door, singing and dancing, which made her even more depressed.
So she just took a few bites of the food and didn't even drink the soup, so she asked Aunt Wu to take it away.
I then took one of my case files with me and wanted to go to my uncle's study to continue reading it.
That room is the farthest away from Qian's house, and it has wooden walls, so it will definitely be much quieter.
But to be honest, the sound of the Qian family laughing and shouting was clearly audible.
Lu Yanhua couldn't tell at all which one was the youngest daughter of the Qian family, which one was the eldest daughter of the Qian family, and which one was the new guest.
Even though both of their families are affiliated with the Judicial Office and are close neighbors, in fact they are not familiar with each other and can even be said to be quite distant.
This is mainly because Qian Bojun is best at smoothing the mud and acting as a peacemaker. He is a veritable evergreen pine in Shanghai and Shanghai politics.
Whether it was during the "movement" or after the "movement," he has always been a popular figure in power.
His family is also very happy. Not only does he have children, but he also has many relatives and friends.
Her family situation is exactly the opposite.
Her parents were underground party members and died one after another before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Having lost her parents since she was a child, she has been living with her uncle.
And my uncle is a principled, upright and practical cadre. He only cares about things but not people, and he offends many people at work.
So during the "movement", their family inevitably encountered devastation and suffering that ordinary people could not imagine.
In the end, not only her aunt and cousin, but also her father-in-law, who was in the public security system, died one after another for similar reasons, and the entire family was destroyed.
At the end of her life, she only had two relatives left in the world: her son and her uncle.
So the two of them are completely different and have no similarities at all.
One is rigid and the other is flexible.
One likes to be quiet, the other loves to be active.
One is good at dancing and sociable.
One is to strictly adhere to principles and be unkind.
A family is one where everything goes smoothly, singing and dancing.
A family has gone through hardships and been scarred.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, people flock together." This naturally makes the two families unable to urinate in the same pot, and there is no possibility of establishing a personal friendship at all.
In fact, not only did Zeng Herong and Qian Bojun have great differences in work and political opinions, but they also disliked each other's behavior styles and lifestyles.
The Qian family disliked their family for being too old-fashioned and boring.
I feel that they only know how to study and work, but do not know how to enjoy life and have fun in time. They are the biggest fools in the world.
In Lu Yanhua's eyes, the Qian family's children only knew how to attend concerts, go on outings, eat Western food, and hold dance parties at home all day long to entertain other children of cadres.
She also looked down upon the new "children of the Eight Banners" like the Qian family's children.
Perhaps the disgust from the bottom of her heart was written on her face. As soon as Lu Yanhua knocked on the door and walked into the study, she was immediately teased by Zeng Herong who was working at the desk.
"My Chief Prosecutor, what major case did you encounter today? You look very angry. You are full without eating, right? If I had known, I wouldn't have let you Aunt Wu work hard."
Lu Yanhua immediately said dissatisfied, "Uncle, why have you become cynical? You are the dignified deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Humph!"
Zeng Herong simply put down his pen at this time, "Yanhua, the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee is also a human being, and he also wants to eat the fireworks of the world. Work is very important, but life cannot only be about work. I have grown old with this truth. I just understand. I don’t want you to be like me, you will regret it in the future..."
Lu Yanhua still shook her head.
"What's wrong with being like you? Do you want me to be like the children of the Qian family next door? To be honest, I'm really worried about our country. You don't know what the children of these cadres are like now. What did they do in private? It was more decadent than the bourgeoisie of the old society. I really don’t deserve it for my parents. Did their generation sacrifice their precious lives just to create a new social worm? ”
Zeng Herong took off his glasses completely at this time and motioned for Lu Yanhua to sit down.
Then he rubbed his temples tiredly before speaking seriously.
"Yanhua, I have wanted to talk to you for a long time. I know that everything we have experienced and the loved ones we have lost have hit you hard. Even though it has been so long, you still haven't gotten over it. Come out of the shadows. But I want to remind you that the power in our hands represents the fairness and justice of the country. You must not bring your cynicism to work. I know that some cadres' children do behave badly. It is disorderly and even involves illegal crimes, but you should not make hasty judgments about the Qian children just because you can’t stand it. You must be truthful and present the evidence..."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Why am I not seeking truth from facts? Look at the people who come in and out of Qian's family. Aren't they all young men and young ladies who only know how to have fun? They are never formal. , except when they are eating, drinking and having fun. On the surface, this group of people seems to be fighting each other, but in fact they are all brothers and have a good time."
"These people want to be real but have no knowledge at all, and they always like to look different and talk loudly. It doesn't matter whether they talk about current affairs at home, abroad, in heaven, under the ground, or whoever is in the central government, They all speak loudly. In fact, there is no perceptual basis for their theoretical opinions! These people only like to argue to show that they are extraordinary, and they also claim to be a 'contemplative generation'. It's disgusting."
"Otherwise they would recite Shelley's poems together, both men and women, which would be stinky. When it comes to music, what does Beethoven say for a while, what does Tchaikovsky think for a while, and how much real talent and learning are there? Especially when it comes to music. It's a few children from the Qian family who have learned a few words of semi-fluent English in the foreign language college and spread the "foreign advanced theory" everywhere. Good guy, the words are solid. Why are college students now such a trend? They can't speak it. Tango originated from Argentina, rumba originated from Cuba, and samba originated from Brazil. Swiss watches are good, Italian shoes are good, French perfumes are good, and Japanese electrical appliances are good. What else do I know about foreign countries? The whole generation was exposed to such a bad influence, so Xiaoyi was allowed to go to boarding school..."
Lu Yanhua started to talk endlessly when she started complaining, and seemed to have all the answers.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Herong's interruption at the critical moment was also to the point, leaving her completely speechless.
"Okay, okay, but you can't deny that the Qian family's dances are all held under the supervision of adults, and there is no phenomenon of those who are outside the circle. You can't deny that Shelley and Beethoven , rumba, and tango are also knowledge and the pursuit of beauty. As for the problem of us competing with the bourgeoisie for the next generation, it is not only a problem for the cadre family, but also for the entire society. You have such a bad feeling for the Qian family just because of this. . Doesn’t it count as personal likes and dislikes? ”
"Also, just like when we moved into this 'restoration house' after I resumed work, the comrades in the logistics department sent us a lot of things to satisfy us. Matching sofas, panels with Philippine wood There is a big desk and high-end carpets. You have worked hard to clean up the house. But you are using the things and calling me a sycophant behind my back. You even suspect that I am a person who participated in the "movement". , is this mentality normal? ”
"Fairness, it's easier said than done. Knowing clearly does not mean that flaws must be reported, and being morally high does not mean that you cannot tolerate a grain of sand. You must understand this truth, otherwise you will fail in controlling the policy. Question. Always remember that excessive correction and harsh treatment are also unfair. ”
After a long silence, Lu Yanhua answered with some reluctance.
"Yes, uncle, I have remembered your words. I will think about it carefully and review myself seriously."
And Zeng Herong also slowed down because of her attitude.
"Xiaohua, actually the best way is for you to mentally let go of the past, let go of resentment, and start a new life. Look, you are only in your thirties, so you are still young. You should look for someone else Individuals, forming a new family..."
This time, Lu Yanhua's taboo was violated. She was no longer in the mood to stay and stood up decisively.
"Uncle, please don't mention this matter again in the future. I'm living a really good life. It's enough for me to have you and Xiaoyi from now on. You can continue your work. I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a shower." Take a shower and go to bed first.”
After saying that, he walked out of the room without looking back.
Zeng Herong was also helpless. He was stunned for a long time when faced with the closure, and then he sighed.
Then he reached out and picked up a photo frame on the desk, stared at the young man and woman in the photo, and began to murmur.
"Shou Cheng, Wanhua, I'm sorry for you. I didn't take good care of your little Yanhua. I gave her knowledge and faith, but I failed to give her enough emotional warmth. And care, she is living in pain now..."
What I have to say is that if the photo that Zeng Herong was staring at at this moment was seen by Hong Lucheng and his wife or Hong Yanwu in the capital, they would definitely be shocked.
Because the Hong family also treasures the exact same one.
This photo is the wedding photo that Hong Shoucheng and Zeng Wanhua secretly sent to the Hong family when they were newly married.
