The roar of the plane cut through the sky. Chen Xing sat in the plane and looked out of the window quietly. Nanzhou, which had been raining for several days, had just cleared up today. The blue sky and white clouds outside the window were especially clear, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The sky was clear and refreshing, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at it. Xu Bin sat next to Chen Xing and also looked out of the window.
"It's comfortable to look at, but I still feel that the sky of Nanzhou is a little worse than that of our Mount Gaze. Whether it's the scenery in the sky or the scenery on the ground, our Mount Gaze should be second to none in the province. Chen Xing said with a smile.
"That's true. We can't compare with others in terms of economy, but we won't lose to others in terms of environment and scenery." Xu Bin nodded in agreement with Chen Xing. He knew that Chen Xing had been actively promoting the development of tourism strategy after arriving at Mount Gaze. This conversation was more or less related to this, so he naturally wouldn't spoil Chen Xing's mood.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly. The two-hour flight passed in the blink of an eye. When they arrived in the capital, it was almost seven o 'clock and the sky was already dark. Shen Yuanming, the director of the Wangshan Resident Office in Beijing, was waiting at the airport with a staff member.
"Secretary Chen, you and Deputy Mayor Xu must not have eaten enough on the plane just now, right? I've taken the flight from Nanzhou to the capital too many times, and the food on the plane has never been delicious." Shen Yuanming said with a smile. As he spoke, he observed Chen Xing's expression through the rearview mirror of the car and said, "I've already booked a restaurant for you and Deputy Mayor Xu. There should be food that suits Secretary Chen's taste.
There's no need to go to the restaurant. When we enter the city later, I'll go home first. You can make your own arrangements for the evening. " Chen Xing waved his hand.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Secretary Chen, your home is in the capital." Shen Yuanming slapped his head, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Xu Bin coldly observed Shen Yuanming's performance. Shen Yuanming had a very close relationship with Zhang Lixing's group. Xu Bin did not have a good impression of him. He did not like people like Shen Yuanming who were glib, sophisticated, and good at changing the direction of the wind. But then again, if Shen Yuanming was not such a person, he would not have been able to adapt to the position of the Beijing Office Director.
When the car entered the city, Chen Xing asked Shen Yuanming to drive the car to the residential area where he lived. It was rare for him to come back, so Chen Xing naturally wanted to reunite with his family as soon as possible.
After making an appointment with Xu Bin to meet tomorrow, Chen Xing couldn't wait to go home.
In public, Chen Xing was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. In front of others, he was mature, steady, and sometimes even strict. But in private, he was a man who had just become a father. At this time, when he was close to home, Chen Xing could not help but feel a little excited.
He took the key and opened the door. Listening to the child's laughter coming from the house, Chen Xing could not help but smile.
"Hey, who is this? Did I come to the wrong door?" Zhang Ningning was playing with the child in the living room. The little fellow could already sit on a walker and was running around the living room. Zhang Ningning followed behind and stared. When he saw Chen Xing opening the door and coming in, even if he knew that Chen Xing would come back today, Zhang Ningning's eyes were still full of joy and excitement.
"Well, then I'll go out and see if I entered the wrong door." Chen Xing played along with Zhang Ningning's joke and looked at his son, who was sitting on a walker, babbling towards him. He could not help but smile.
"The little fellow doesn't often see you, so he is not afraid of strangers at all." Zhang Ningning said with a smile when she saw her son dancing in front of her husband.
"Of course, I am his father, so the little fellow is naturally close to me." Chen Xing smiled proudly and stretched out his hands to hold his son. At this time, he did not look like the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at all. He was clearly an old child.
"You, just be proud of yourself." Zhang Ningning coquettishly rolled her eyes at Chen Xing and immediately asked, "How many days will you stay back this time?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on how things go. If it goes well, maybe I can go back tomorrow." Chen Xing smiled bitterly. Every time he came back, he was in a hurry and had no choice. Sometimes he also wanted to take a month or two long vacation and stay with his family comfortably. But in his position, it was difficult to take a week or two, let alone a month or two. He was in a high position at a young age and had received far more than others. Naturally, he had to make sacrifices. There were gains and there were losses. Compared with what he had gained, what he had lost was negligible.
"I used to say that you would definitely be like my father in the future. You would be so busy on holidays that you couldn't even go home. Look, it's true now. It's not easy for a family to get together on ordinary days, let alone holidays." Zhang Ningning shook her head and smiled.
"Why don't you just live in Mountain Gaze? You can stay with your family." Hearing Zhang Ningning's words, Chen Xing could not help but say.
"Live in Mountain Gaze? Why, do you mean that I should be a housewife? " Zhang Ningning looked at Chen Xing with a smile. "Forget it, I don't like to be idle. A woman should have her own independent career. I prefer to do something meaningful. Besides, how do you know how long you can stay in Mountain Gaze? If I really go there, I will have to wander around with you in the future. "
"I knew you wouldn't agree." Chen Xing walked to the sofa with his son in his arms and sat down. However, what his wife said was true. At his level, it was impossible for him to work in one place forever. No one knew where he would be transferred next. Now he was just a passerby in Mountain Gaze.
Turning his head and seeing his mother coming out of the kitchen, Chen Xing could not help but smile. "Mom, you've lived in the capital for a long time. Are you used to it?
I'm not used to it at all. Our Hai City is better. The air in the capital is too bad. As reported in the news, that … that fog. Yes, fog. Every now and then, there will be fog. It's really uncomfortable for me to live here. It's not convenient for me to go out. If I want to go out, the air outside is too bad. " Zou Fang complained with a smile. She had retired early at the end of last year and came to the capital to take care of her grandson. It was the first time she had stayed in the capital, so she was not used to it. In autumn and winter, the weather in the capital was very bad. The fog often came, which made Zou Fang, who was used to the sunny weather in Hai City, very uncomfortable.
"It's spring now. The weather is much better." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"It's much better now, but it's really unbearable in autumn and winter." Zou Fang nodded with a smile. She walked to the sofa and was about to take her grandson over so that the young couple, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, could have some private time.
"I'll take the child for a walk downstairs. Zou Fang said.
As soon as Zou Fang finished speaking, Chen Xing's cell phone rang. Seeing this, Zhang Ningning, who was next to him, curled his lips slightly and said with a smile, "Mom, did you see that? It's rare for Chen Xing to come back. He can't even have a good time at home. I don't know who is calling."
Hearing his wife's words, Chen Xing smiled and wanted to respond. However, when he saw that the call was from Li Yanpei's daughter, Li Ying, Chen Xing became serious and picked up the phone first.
"Secretary Chen, my father is awake."
As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Xing heard the words he most wanted to hear from the other end of the phone.
"Well, do you remember what happened in the past?" Faintly sensing the excitement in Li Ying's words, Chen Xing also asked eagerly.
"I remember, I remember everything." Li Ying's voice was a little sobbing. At this time, her eyes were also wet because she was crying. It turned out that God had always been watching over her father. He survived the car accident and miraculously woke up after becoming a vegetable. Now, the brain surgery was unprecedentedly smooth. Even though the doctor had told them before the surgery that there was still a little blood in the brain, there was no guarantee that he would recover his memory after the surgery. It could only increase the probability of recovery, but everything was going in the best direction. After the surgery at three in the afternoon, her father finally woke up after four or five hours and remembered the past. This made Li Ying and her mother cry with joy.
"Good, good." Chen Xing stood up from the sofa and said "good" twice in a row. At this moment, one could imagine his mood.
"Did your father say anything?" Chen Xing asked eagerly.
"Not yet. As soon as he woke up, he kept saying that he wanted to go to the provincial capital to see Secretary Ge. However, he is still in the ICU ward. The doctor said that he could not come out of the ICU ward until at least 24 hours of observation." Li Ying replied.
"That's right. Your father has just had a major surgery. He should be observed." Chen Xing nodded and calmed down. He knew that it was useless to be anxious at the moment. Moreover, since Li Yanpei had recovered her memory, there was no need to be anxious anymore. The truth that should be revealed would be revealed sooner or later.
"Xiao Li, I will be on a business trip in the capital these two days. If anything happens to your father, call me in time. I will rush back immediately after I finish my business in the capital." Chen Xing thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Li Ying nodded.
The two of them chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Chen Xing stood there for a while with his phone in his hand. A smile slowly appeared on his face. Li Yanpei had woken up. From tonight on, how many people in Mountain Gaze would not be able to sleep?
Chen Xing was right. The moment Li Yanpei woke up, some people began to feel restless.
Qian Xinlai's villa was located in another secluded place in the suburbs. At this moment, several small cars from the city were parked in the villa. In the villa hall of the villa, Qian Xinlai, Zhang Lixing, Lin Siwei, and the others gathered together.
In the hall, apart from the pungent smoke that lingered in the air, there was only silence.
Outside the ICU ward of the First City Hospital, Jiang Dongming paced back and forth in the corridor. From time to time, he looked at Li Yanpei, who was lying in the ward through the glass. When he was tired of walking and standing, he sat on a chair in the corridor.
"Xiao Jiang, go back and rest tonight. You have been in the hospital for a day today and have to go to work tomorrow.
You don't have to stay at night. " Cai Yalan, who came out of the toilet, saw Jiang Dongming covering his face with his hands and leaning on his knees. Thinking that Jiang Dongming had been in the hospital for a day, Cai Yalan knew that he should be tired, so she walked over and said.
"Aunt Cai, I won't. How can a young man like me get tired so easily?" When Jiang Dongming heard Cai Yalan's voice, he immediately stood up and continued with a smile on his face. "Aunt Cai, you and Xiao Ying are really tired today. I'll keep watch tonight. You and Xiao Ying can go back and rest."
"There are nurses watching the ICU ward 24 hours a day. There's no need to watch at night. You should go back and rest early." Cai Yalan laughed. She was in a good mood and the more she looked at Jiang Dongming, the more she liked him. It was a pity that she didn't have a second daughter. Otherwise, she would really want to marry Jiang Dongming.
"Aunt Cai, I'll go back later. Anyway, I'm alone. It doesn't matter when I go back." Jiang Dongming smiled.
"Okay, it's up to you." Cai Yalan nodded.
