Half an hour later, Wu Guoqun was called to the mayor's office.
Everyone was shocked, especially the young man, who was pale and felt that the end was coming.
Is this ugly old man the mayor's brother?
Now he must want to bite off his tongue.
Wu Guoqun was ceremoniously brought to Wu Guoqiang's office.
Wu Guoqun was a little nervous when he came to such a dignified and tall place for the first time.
The secretary is very respectful in leading the way.
"This way, please --" the Secretary bowed slightly, and the tone was just right.
Walking on the thick carpet and looking at this extremely sacred place, Wu Guoqun remembered his childhood with Wu Guoqiang.
******。
Wu Guoqun's parents were both agricultural experts. As cadres going south, they were sent to fengqingshan to specialize in tea research.
Wu Guoqun and Wu Guoqiang were born in fengqingshan. They were born and raised in fengqingshan.
Wu Guoqun likes to go to the tea garden with his parents since he was a child. He is naturally interested in tea trees.
But Wu Guoqiang is different. He prefers to read books at home. He hates the place where the mountain is. He vows to leave here.
However, at that time, he advocated that knowledge was useless, and he did not need to take the university entrance examination. Wu Guoqiang hoped to get the chance to go to university through recommendation.
However, both parents are honest intellectuals and immigrants, so they have no advantage in the local area.
If you want to get this chance, you have to get close to the leader of fengqingshan at that time. As long as he says one word, Wu Guoqiang can go to university.
Before long, Wu Guoqiang became the son-in-law of the little leader. The little leader had a beautiful but illiterate daughter named a Ju.
The next year, Wu Guoqiang was recommended to university.
Wu Guoqiang never came back, never heard from him, never came back to fengqingshan.
A Ju is not reconciled, several times out of the sea to find him, but never saw his figure.
Later, Aju gradually became delirious and insane.
In a flash, ten years later, Wu Guoqiang still has no news, and has never sent a letter to his family.
A Ju, who has been crazy for ten years, suddenly has a big stomach one day. No one knows whose child is.
Her parents felt that they were too shameful and wanted to kill the child by force, but ah Ju resolutely refused and vowed to give birth to the child.
More than a year after the child was born, ah Ju died of illness, leaving the poor son behind.
A Ju family hates Wu Guoqiang so much that they gnash their teeth. They firmly don't want this unknown child.
Wu Guoqun brought the child up at home and named it Wuling.
He never told Wu Ling about his life experience, and Wu Yi only knew that Wu Ling was an orphan.
Until the death of his parents, Wu Guoqiang never returned to fengqingshan, but wrote a letter back in the middle and late 1990s, when he had already returned from Tibet.
At that time, Wu Guoqun learned that after graduating from University, Wu Guoqiang went to work in Tibet for 15 years.
Wu Guoqiang spent 15 years in exchange for his future promotion and changed the course of his life.
However, no one thought that Wu Guoqiang, who had vowed to leave fengqingshan, would one day become a powerful frontier official and return to Haixi.
Time flies, the world is unpredictable!
The access to Wu Guoqiang's office is long and the red carpet is thick and soft. Wu Guoqun walked very slowly. It seemed that every step he took was recalling their past, and every step he took was thinking.
"Inside, please --" the Secretary opened the heavy door.
Wu Guoqun responded.
Entering the gate, Wu Guoqun looked up and saw his younger brother, Wu Guoqiang, now the head of Xihai province.
This meeting is too sudden.
Wu Guoqiang was completely unprepared.
He thought that one day he would meet his brother, but he didn't expect to come so quickly and suddenly.
Wu Guoqun was dressed in ordinary clothes. Although he was a master of Fengqing Dancong tea making, he was an ordinary tea farmer in the mountains. His face was covered with wind and frost, his hands were covered with calluses, and he wrote about the vicissitudes of life and the hardships of life.
In front of him, Wu Guoqiang was another image: dignified, vigorous and red.
Although it's only two years different from Wu Guoqun, it seems to be a little smaller than Wu Guoqun.
"Brother --" Wu Guoqiang stepped forward to welcome him, and gave him a warm hug.
"Guoqiang -" Wu Guoqun only felt that his throat was sour and his eyes were moist.
The brothers hold hands and stare at each other.
More than 30 years! In a flash, more than 30 years later, the rash youths of those years are now white and frosty.
Different choices create completely different life paths.
"Brother, I didn't think it was you!" Wu Guoqiang took Wu Guoqun by the hand and sat down by the sofa.Wu Guoqun was a little stiff for a while. If it wasn't for his son, he couldn't have come to him so rashly!
Wu Guoqun was unable to speak when he thought that he was looking for his brother who was already the mayor with a purpose.
He wanted to ask, how have you been these years? Are you married? How old is the child?
However, such a problem seems too ridiculous for a mayor.
He must have a good life. He must have a family. Maybe his child has already studied abroad.
His life is not what he can imagine, let alone what he can achieve.
Although he is the brother of a milk compatriot, now he is one in the sky and one in the earth.
Wu Guoqun faltered, his face very embarrassed.
"Brother, is something wrong with you?" Wu Guoqiang asked directly.
In the morning, that figure was big brother. Wu Guoqiang understood it now.
"Yes -" Wu Guoqun thought about it and said firmly, "I have something to come to you."
"Brother, you said." Wu Guoqiang poured him a glass of water. He can't make Kung Fu tea.
Working in Tibet for many years, he cherished the water grid and was reluctant to waste every bit.
Wu Guoqun thought for a moment, told Wu Yi's story, and put the U disk that Luo Luo gave him in front of Wu Guoqiang.
Wu Guoqiang's face became more and more serious and ugly.
He didn't say a word all the time. He was listening in silence.
Finally, he stood up and paced back and forth. After a moment, he stopped and said, "brother, I'll arrange special personnel to investigate this matter. Wu Yi won't suffer. Don't worry..."
"Well, I knew it would be right to look for you. I shouldn't have come to you, but I can't watch my son being bullied. Wu Yi is a good boy and shouldn't suffer such a crime. " Wu Guoqun said.
"Brother, of course you should come to me! If you don't come to me, I'll come back to you. Not long after I arrived in Haixi, I wanted to go to Yongzhou to see you in fengqingshan and kowtow to my mom and dad For so many years, the thing I feel most guilty about is that my parents didn't fulfill their filial piety before they left... "
As he said that, Wu Guoqiang could not help choking his voice and his eyes were wet with tears.
Wu Guoqun looked at him and knew that he also had unspeakable difficulties.
At that time, if he did not go to university through such channels, there would be no way out; if he went out, it would be a tragedy of life if he still took the illiterate wife with him; in order to escape the disturbance, he chose to go to Tibet, where his best youth of 15 years was dedicated to the desert plateau
Who can understand the sorrow in Wu Guoqiang's heart?
But Wu understood him. Even if people all over the world don't understand, Wu Guoqun can understand his brother.
So, for so many years, he never complained about Wu Guoqiang's unfilial to his parents, and never mentioned Wu Guoqiang and him in front of his family.
"Guoqiang, I understand you, and so do my parents..." Wu Guoqun comforted.
"Brother, it is because of your understanding that I am even more ashamed. For so many years, I dare not go back, just dare not face my past, dare not face Aju, that is my unforgettable scar... " Wu Guoqiang said with tears.
"Let bygones be bygones. The people and things of that era are gone. An era is over, and a new era has already begun. Your life is brilliant..." Wu Guoqun road.
"No matter how brilliant life is, there is also a unbearable past..." Wu Guoqiang said regretfully, "brother, these words can only be said to you. I can only stay in the middle of the night and chew alone with tears. I can only let it torment my soul countless times Ju, how are you? "
Wu Guoqun was shocked. Wu Guoqiang didn't know anything because he didn't tell him about ah Ju's tragedy.
"She's gone It's also Liberation... " Wu Guoqun said briefly that he did not want to increase Wu Guoqiang's guilt.
In that era when holding hands is a lifetime, it's the most tragic to be a woman who has been abandoned after being married.
So, ah Ju must be crazy.
Wu Guoqiang's body trembled obviously, and his face suddenly turned pale: "I'm sorry for her. It's me who hurt her..."
After that, he sat down on the sofa, holding his forehead, tears pouring down.
He really didn't think that a Ju would die. He thought she would accept her life and marry a local mountain folk. From then on, he lived a peaceful life.
I didn't expect to ruin her so thoroughly.
Sin! A sin that cannot be redeemed for a lifetime.
"Guoqiang, it's all over. That's life..." Wu Guoqun patted Wu Guoqiang on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Brother, I have a request..." Wu Guoqiang said suddenly.
"You say -"
"every year on the death day of Qingming and a Ju, you go to see her for me and say a few words for me. I will pay her back the debt I owe in my life in the next life..." Wu Guoqiang choked.
"Don't worry, I go every year. On Tomb Sweeping Day and her death day, I take her children to worship her. A Ju is a kind-hearted woman. When her parents wanted to sue you at school, she vowed to stop her She has you in her heart and won't blame you... ""Her child?" Wu Guoqiang was even more shocked.
Does he still have a child in fengqingshan? But he was only seventeen at that time! Ah Ju is only 16 years old!
Wu Guoqun looked at his face and told him about Wuling's life experience.
"Brother, all my sins are solved by you. I'm ashamed of you, my parents and the Wu family..." Wu Guoqiang cried even more.
At the moment, he is not a mayor at all, just an ordinary mountain boy.
"You are the pride of the Wu family, the pride of your parents! Guoqiang, go back to fengqingshan and kowtow to your parents' grave when you have time... "
Wu Guoqiang kept nodding, tears had already wet the skirt.
