Chapter 487 The old past
A person limped out of the dilapidated office building, and Chen Yuxing could still recognize the person. His name was Wang Xiaoxiao. He was originally a villager in the village where the mine office area was located. Later, he worked as a coal mining worker and lost one leg in a roof accident. After the accident, his wife ran away with someone else. He was alone and helpless. In order to take care of his life, the mine let him be the gatekeeper of this courtyard and eat with the cadres. Leftovers are enough for him to eat sooner or later.
His actual age is only forty years old, but his temples are gray and his dark face is covered with traces of time. He saw a group of brightly dressed and majestic people getting out of the car and asked a little nervously:
"Who are you looking for?"
Wang Xiaoxiao's prosthesis has been used for nearly ten years, and it is even more inflexible to use now. Judging from Wang Xiaoxiao's facial expression, it should be very painful, Chen Yuxing thought silently.
Xu Yang, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, was about to come forward to answer, but Chen Yuxing waved his hand to stop him.
"Brother Wang, don't you know me anymore?"
Chen Yuxing faced Wang Xiaoxiao who was struggling to walk, stood about two meters in front of him, and looked at the gatekeeper who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Wang Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Yuxing for a while, shook her head blankly. Chen Yuxing's temperament to height and body shape were significantly different from six or seven years ago. At that time, he was still a young boy, but now he is a mature and steady national official. How could this gatekeeper who rarely goes to Xinfu City and has never seen the world before recognize him?
"Brother Wang, do you still remember Chen Yuxing who was intern here for a month seven years ago?"
Chen Yuxing took two steps forward, held Wang Xiaoxiao's calloused hands and shook them gently.
Xu Yang, who was standing behind Chen Yuxing, his eyelids were pounding unconsciously. Secretary Chen's respect for him was extraordinary. He felt very moved. He could withstand Secretary Chen's gentle shaking and shook hands. There was no one in the entire Liaodong area, even the commander of the Liaodong Military Region was the one who shook his arms. Now, Secretary Chen used this ordinary and humble gatekeeper, and it was still so natural and friendly.
Wang Xiaoxiao shook her head again. Chen Yuxing did not ask questions or give any more tips, but still held one of his hands.
"Brother Wang, I passed by here with my friends today, so I came over to see where I worked. I won't disturb you, right? How are you doing recently? Are there anyone else here?"
"Don't disturb, don't disturb, I seem to remember you. Am I? Still like that, I will never die. There is no one here. There is also a aftermath working group in the mine, but I don't work here and I have moved to the county. Please sit in the house."
Wang Xiaoxiao dragged a broken leg and asked everyone to the room. Chen Yuxing ignored whether Wang Xiaoxiao really remembered him, or was polite. He held one of his arms and walked towards the room with a relatively complete door and window glass beside the front door and the first floor door.
Before Wang Xiaoxiao asked everyone to go into the house to rest, Hou Longtao had already directed his secretary and driver to enter the door of the building first. Chen Weidong also directed two robot bodyguards to enter the building. They went in to do the early security work.
Chen Yuxing and Wang Xiaoxiao entered his cottage. There was a 29-inch old TV, a bed and a large wardrobe in the cottage. There was no other furniture. In the middle of the house with a total of more than 20 square meters, there was a cast iron stove, and an aluminum kettle was on the stove. The heat was gushing outward, and the stove was connected to the iron chimney, reaching out from the glass window. The temperature in the room was very high. Even if the coal resources were exhausted here, there was no shortage of coal for themselves. When you went to the original coal storage yard outside, you would dig a shovel and it would be coal. So the fire burned 24 hours a day.
No one else followed him into the house and stood in the corridor and outside the building. Wang Xiaoxiao did not let anyone else go. No matter how stupid he was, he could see that Chen Yuxing was the head of this group of people.
Chen Yuxing talked about Wang Xiaoxiao's recent situation for a while, and then asked about the situation of the mine leaders and colleagues when he was internship. Only then did Wang Xiaoxiao really remember that Chen Yuxing, a shy and taciturn college student when he came to the mine to intern.
"Brother Wang, is Chu Jingjing, who is in the medical office, going there now?"
When Chen Yuxing asked this, he felt a little nervous and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.
"Hey, hey. After you left your internship, something happened in less than two months. You should have seen all the police officers named Zhang Baoguo from the mining area."
Chen Yuxing nodded. He had an impression of this person. At that time, this guy warned him that he should have eyesight in life.
"Zhang Baoguo always comes to pester her. One night, this guy somehow entered the third floor, and I didn't watch it. Dr. Chu stabbed him with a fruit knife, and was sentenced to two years of reprieve. He was fired from the mine and his husband also divorced her. It was very miserable!"
Chen Yuxing's blood rushed into his mind, his face flushed red. He spoke quickly and asked Wang Xiaoxiao.
"What's going on?"
"Actually, everyone understands this. Zhang Baoguo wants to force his daughter to do doctor Chu. Dr. Chu resisted and stabbed Zhang Baoguo, but the court did not judge this. I can't explain exactly what I said."
In Chen Yuxing's mind, the scenes about Zhang Baoguo seven years ago were played like a movie. Zhang Baoguo there was young and strong, with a much stronger image than Chen Yuxing, a student, and was the object of the big girls in the mine.
But he seemed to have a special liking for Chu Jingjing, a married woman. He would go to the health center to chat with Chu Jingjing if he had anything to do. Chen Yuxing's internship office was adjacent to the health center, so he could often see this scene. Chu Jingjing's voice of scolding Zhang Baoguo was often heard from Chen Yuxing next door. The mine engineer who took Chen Yuxing to internship always shook his head and sighed unconsciously when he heard this voice.
Chen Yuxing thought about it and suddenly realized that at that time, there was a sign of a violent and powerful female incident. But at that time, he was too young and had no experience in this area. Not only could he not realize that such things could also happen. Even if he realized it, he was still slight and powerless, and could not change all this.
"How is she now?" Chen Yuxing asked again.
"Some time ago, I heard someone talk about her. It seemed like she opened a small restaurant."
"In the county?"
"No, in the city, she was originally from the city."
Wang Xiaoxiao didn't know why Chen Yuxing was so nervous, but he still told Chen Yuxing truthfully what he knew, adding some of his own guesses to his words.
Seeing that Chen Yuxing could not find out more detailed information, he inquired about Zhang Baoguo's situation.
Wang Xiaoxiao heard Chen Yuxing ask about Zhang Baoguo, and her face showed an envious expression.
"This guy has been trembling in the past few years (fortunate) and I heard that when he was having dinner in a restaurant, I heard the guests at the next table brag about it, saying that someone had killed someone. The boy brought a few people back to the office and caught them back to the office. After this interrogation, he really caught a Class A wanted criminal. He made a contribution and was promoted to the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. I don't know what he does now."
Chen Yuxing was speechless. If this was the case, God would take good care of him. However, he must find out the truth about Chu Jingjing. If he was wronged, he would not let these people do anything wrong.
There was enough news that Chen Yuxing had heard from Wang Xiaoxiao. Chen Yuxing asked Wang Xiaoxiao to take them to the mine to take a look, and Wang Xiaoxiao happily agreed. The road to the mine was difficult to walk, and Chen Yuxing regretted letting Wang Xiaoxiao lead the way.
Finally, I arrived at the mine where Chen Yuxing had gone down. The mine has been abandoned for several years. The wellhead was blocked by thatch. The railway tracks leading to the tunnel were only sleepers buried in the black soil, and the steel rails were gone.
Wang Xiaoxiao told Chen Yuxing that several murders occurred in this mine, and it was dark. No one dared to pass by here. Moreover, the farmers in the upper part of the coal mining area moved away. In the first two years, several collapses occurred here, and several casualties were killed and killed. The township government was unable to organize nearby farmers to move out of the settlement area. These farmers were very hard, and the compensation given by the state was not enough to build a house.
Chen Yuxing took a few people to the ground settlement area and took a look. The situation was much more serious than Chen Yuxing imagined. Wang Xiaoxiao specially took Chen Yuxing to see a bottomless deep collapsed cave. The dark big hole looked scary.
Chen Yuxing asked Wang Xiaoxiao why no one backfilled it. Wang Xiaoxiao laughed and replied, "No one cares."
Chen Yuxing's good mood on the highway was gone by now. Xu Yang, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, asked Chen Yuxing if he wanted to call the leaders of Xinfu City and ask them to come and have a look.
Chen Yuxing shook his head. It was not Chen Yuxing's purpose of coming to Xinfu City. He sincerely hoped that his second hometown could get rid of the label of a resource-depleted city and rely on his own efforts to find a path of sustainable development. This not only solves the problem of a settlement area spread throughout Xinfu City, but also fundamentally solves the ideological concepts and work style of the city leaders.
Construction of clean government is a good medicine to treat and change the work style of the agency. However, a simple blow can build the confidence of the masses in the government, but if no other supporting policies are introduced, the effect will be greatly reduced. Just like Fengjing City’s reform, if the enthusiasm of grassroots civil servants cannot be effectively mobilized, the staff’s procrastination and inaction will bring chaos and obstacles to social order and economic order.
When Wang Xiaoxiao took them out, Chen Yuxing had already instructed Chen Weidong to make a pair of prosthetics for Wang Xiaoxiao, and the technological content should not be too high, and it would be enough to reach the highest level in the modern world. When they returned to the compound, the prosthetics had been sent over.
When Chen Yuxing handed Wang Xiaoxiao a brand new but realistic prosthetic limb to him, Wang Xiaoxiao burst into tears and thanked him in tears.
It was not until five off-road vehicles disappeared from his sight that Wang Xiaoxiao staggered back to the house to test his prosthesis. At this point, he didn't know that the person who had been chatting with him for more than an hour was the number one figure in Liaodong Province.
On the way to the city, Chen Yuxing asked Chen Weidong to find Chu Jingjing's location. Chen Weidong entered the public security and social insurance network according to the conditions given by the captain, and found the Chu Jingjing the captain was looking for among dozens of celebrities. Her small restaurant was not far from the university where Chen Yuxing studied. Chen Yuxing was very familiar with that place. During his four years in college, he had been there drinking and eating a lot.
The small road was very narrow and could only accommodate a car. There were hotels on both sides of the road, and the main source of customers was students from this university. Chu Jingjing was able to open a small restaurant here, which means she still had a vision in business. It was a pity that she gave up on her major that she had studied for five years.
Chu Jingjing is an undergraduate at Huaguo Medical University, with a five-year academic schedule. After graduation, she found a job at the General Hospital of the Mining Bureau in Xinfu City. It was here that she and her husband met. Her husband was in surgery and she was in internal medicine. They both had a daughter.
