Chapter 2177 The way home (Please vote, please vote.)
After counting, Xia Xiang hadn't returned to Dancheng for nearly a year, and he was slightly excited when he stepped onto the familiar land of Dancheng again.
Generally speaking, those who go home are nothing more than returning home in glory or being in a timid place, but Xia Xiang has a different mood.
He had already decided to go home quietly, and he did not notify the Yan Provincial Party Committee nor the Shan City Committee. He also did not determine the specific day to go back, for fear of missing the news, and the Shan City Committee learned about it...
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang notified his family to go back tomorrow morning the night before, but the next day he set off from Yan City and was shocked as soon as the expressway - at the exit of the Dancheng City, there was already a crowd of people standing there, and there was a large banner hanging high with a few big words on it:
Warmly welcome Governor Xia to go home to visit his relatives!
Xia Xiang was so funny that he was so funny. What a fuss. He went home to reunite with his family, not to guide his work. The Shancheng Committee was too enthusiastic!
Not only Shancheng people, but the common characteristics of Yanzhou people are hospitality, and people in the warm welcome to their superiors are especially popular.
The current Dancheng Committee team no longer has Xia Xiang’s direct descendants, but Xia Xiang’s direct descendants have served as mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee in Shancheng, and have lasted for several years. In particular, Peng Yunfeng once served as secretary of the Dancheng Committee. It can basically be said that the current Dancheng Committee team, although the first and second leaders are not Xia Xiang’s direct descendants, except for the first and second leaders, almost the entire team is a force cultivated by the Xia Xiang’s direct descendants in the past decade!
More than that... Wang Duanjie, the current secretary of the Shancheng Party Committee, and Wu Aizhou, mayor, are both confidants of Gao Jinzhou.
The news that Xia Xiang was preparing to go home was spread to the Shancheng Committee early. Wang Duanjie and Wu Ai decided to mobilize forces from all parties on Monday, and they must find out the exact date of Governor Xia's return home, and it is best to welcome him at the intersection of the expressway. As the pride of Shancheng, Governor Xia is the highest-level senior official who went out in Shancheng, and Governor Xia's upward momentum is unstoppable. Being able to establish a relationship with Governor Xia may be a lifelong event!
After a lot of effort, Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou started almost all their relationship. Finally, they found out the exact date when Xia Xiang came back. They prepared the welcome ceremony early and made banners overnight to make Governor Xia feel the enthusiasm of being at home.
Originally, Wang Duanjie wanted to dispatch all members of the Dancheng Committee to greet him, but Wu Aizhou heard that Governor Xia did not like to speak loudly, so he was afraid that it would be troublesome if he couldn't take the horse's hooves. Who wouldn't know that Governor Xia's future prospects were bright? Although Governor Xia was not the governor of Yan Province, Governor Xia's influence on Yan Province was probably no less than that of the current Governor Yan Province. The key is that Governor Xia has now shown signs of being a successor. Not to mention Governor Yan Province, even the secretary of the provincial party committee cannot compare with Governor Xia's light.
In the officialdom, Huahuaqiaozi has always been the one who lifted it. The better Xia Xiang's trend, the stronger the centripetal force, and the more various official figures surrounded him, approaching him for various reasons and trying to win his favor.
Xia Xiang went home, took Cao Shuyan and Xia Dong, and there was also a driver and Tang Tianyun. Tang Tianyun was the only one who accompanied Xia Xiang back to his hometown in Dancheng. The main reason was that Xia Xiang had a different identity now. Even if he was traveling for private matters, he had to have a guard and Tang Tianyun was with him, so many things were easier to deal with.
Xia Xiang had two cars in total, just ordinary Audi, and it was a general license plate in Yanshi, which was very inconspicuous. However, the enthusiastic secretary of the Shancheng Party Committee and mayor were still on the way as soon as the expressway was followed by the enthusiastic secretary of the Shancheng Party Committee and mayor, which proves that the wisdom of the official figures is infinite and their eyesight is superhuman.
After changing to another city, Xia Xiang could ignore the other party's kindness and get in the car and leave, but Dancheng was his hometown after all, and his parents in his hometown had to give him three points of thin air. Although he was unhappy, he got off the car and asked Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou for a few polite words.
"Duanjie, I love Comrade Zhou, I'm just going home to visit relatives. What are you doing with such a big formation? Don't you want me to be quiet and not to reunite with my family?" Xia Xiang's face sank slightly.
Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou looked at each other, and their hearts were beating. Governor Xia in front of him was several years younger than them, but the power of the superiors burst out, which made people involuntarily surrender to authority.
"Governor Xia, you finally went home. As the parents of Shancheng, I am really sorry that I didn't come out to receive her. You are the pride of Shancheng. Please allow me and I to represent the 10 million fellow villagers in Shancheng. Welcome Governor Xia to go home to visit his relatives!"
The welcome team was not huge, with only four or five cars, but because it was the peak of returning home, it still attracted the attention of passing vehicles. Xia Xiang felt more and more dissatisfied. He disliked the most. He didn't like to confuse public affairs and private affairs, but he was not good at neglecting Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou in person, so he said coldly: "I thank you comrades Duanjie and Aizhou for your kindness. Since you have received me, please come back, and there is no need to bother you anymore."
After saying that, Xia wanted to get in the car.
Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou looked at each other, knowing that they really had a smack on the horse's hooves, and they couldn't help but regret and fear. The two met for a long time, but in the end there was no way. They decided unanimously whether Governor Xia was against it or not. Anyway, the matter was already like this, so they had to get on, so they waved their hands and got on the car and took the convoy straight to Xia Tiancheng's community.
In the car, Cao Shugui also complained to Xia: "Friends in the countryside, don't embarrass Wang Duanjie and Wu Aizhou too much, after all, they are kind-hearted."
"A kind heart may not necessarily do good things." Xia Xiang snorted, "There are too many welcomes and sends in the officialdom. It is not quiet for a festival. You have to go home to visit relatives and show off your official articles? Do you think I am not tired?"
"Look at you, you have taken gunpowder? You have to say three more words to you. OK, what you say is good, I can't control you anymore." Cao Shuqiu said angrily.
"My dad was so majestic just now. When he narrowed his eyes, he was so scared that both uncles were immediately shortened." Xia Dong observed carefully, "I will also become an official when I grow up, so that others will be afraid of me."
Xia Xiang laughed: "What's wrong with you? The ancient emperors claimed to be the emperor, which means he was the biggest in the world. As a result, he was the loneliest and had no friend. Living alone in the world is not to make everyone afraid of you, but to be useful to others. Everyone needs you, so that you will be the happiest person in the world."
"I understand." Xia Dong didn't know whether it was true or false, but he nodded and said thoughtfully, "I will not become an official when I grow up. I want to be a person who is useful to everyone. I want everyone to understand what I am saying and hear what I say."
Cao Shuyan asked curiously: "Then what do you want to be?"
"I don't know either, anyway, it's just someone who can influence the ideas of many people."
Xia Dong fulfilled Xia Xiang's former literary dream, and he also fulfilled the dreams of many Chinese literati. Countless years later, Xia Dong flew to Sweden, accepted an important literary award in Stockholm, and delivered a speech that was enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese literature.
Xia Xiang did not think deeply about Xia Dong's dream of a child. His eyes penetrated the car window and saw his parents standing at the door of the community waiting.
My father is old, his hair is gray, but he still stands straight. My mother is also old, with wrinkles on her face and dresses neatly, although simple but very decent.
For many years, from when Xia Xiang stayed in the provincial capital for a little while, to Xia Xiang served as district mayor, mayor and even governor, Xia Tiancheng and his wife have been living in Yijian Community. They have not moved to a larger and more luxurious house, nor have cars, but only an electric car, and the furniture and appliances at home are just as simple as they were a decade ago. They have never lost themselves in the slightest because of their son's high position.
The clothes Xia Tiancheng wore were all the remaining clothes Xia Xiang and Xia An. He never bought new clothes to wear. Even if Xia Xiang bought them and gave them to him, he would not wear them. He said that he was uncomfortable wearing new clothes. Zhang Lan's clothes were something Cao Shuyan often bought, and she would wear whatever she gave to her.
The two old men raised two sons throughout their lives, one of whom is in the high position of governor, and the other is now the mayor. But if they don’t say it out, no one would believe that Xia Tiancheng and Zhang Lan, who are dressed like ordinary people, would be the father of Governor Xia Xiangxia, who are popular in China!
It is Xia Tiancheng's unchanging simplicity that makes Xia Xiang always maintain quietness when he moves to a high level step by step, and is not troubled by many distant neighbors making all kinds of unreasonable demands. He maintains a fair heart and moves forward on the road to the career path.
Xia Xiang has deep respect for his parents who have always maintained their sincere and low-key duties.
As soon as she got off the car, Xia Dong threw herself into Zhang Lan's arms and called out sweetly, making Zhang Lan feel excited and laughed from ear to ear.
Xia wanted to get off the car, and came to Xia Tiancheng with Cao Shugui, and said softly: "Dad, I'm back."
"Boss is back..." Xia Tiancheng's voice was also very light. He stretched out a hand and patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder, "It's good to come back. No matter how busy he is, he will go home and have to take a look."
Whether Xia Xiang is the mayor or the governor, whether he is a 20-year-old young man or a 36-year-old middle-aged man, in Xia Tiancheng's eyes, he is the eldest son of the Xia family and the eldest in the eyes of his parents.
The boss made Xia Xiang's state of mind feel much calmer. He felt his father's deep love for his son, and he felt silent in his heart. Father's love is like a mountain, and his nagging is not as good as mother's love, but it has always been like a calm mountain, always giving people strength and confidence.
After years of experience of seeing off, Xia Tiancheng was not a person in the officialdom, but he was better than a person in the officialdom. He saw the special car No. 1 and 2 of the Municipal Party Committee following far behind at a glance, and guessed something, and said calmly: "The things in the officialdom are coming and going, and others have kind intentions, but no matter whether they call you or not, you don't have to keep others from thousands of miles away."
A word woke Xia Xiang up, Xia Xiang smiled with relief and waved to the distance...
