~.< Shuhai Pavilion >-~ Qiao Pengfei came back from outside at this time and saw their scene. He couldn't help but feel curious and walked over and said, "Mengyuan, are you going to go far?"

Old Qiao smiled and said, "She is going to Binhai to relax!"

"Where is Zhang Yang?" When talking about Binhai, Qiao Pengfei naturally thought of Zhang Yang.

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Even if you go and help."

Qiao Pengfei nodded and said, "You go first, I will go to Pinghai in a while."

Qiao Mengyuan said in surprise: "What are you doing in Pinghai?"

Qiao Pengfei smiled and said, "I discussed it with my uncle, and he suggested that I go to the grassroots level to exercise first."

“Where to go?”

Qiao Pengfei said mysteriously: "Guess."

Qiao Mengyuan said: "I won't guess if I like to say it or not."

Qiao Pengfei said: "Go to Chunyang County, Jiangcheng City to serve as deputy county magistrate."

Qiao Mengyuan couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, this cousin really went to Pinghai. Isn't Chunyang Zhang Yang's hometown? But she understood that Qiao Pengfei went to Chunyang for gilding. Since she decided to embark on the career of the government, her family must pave the way for him.

Mr. Qiao said: "Okay, you went to Pinghai and just happened to take care of Mengyuan."

Qiao Mengyuan smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore and I don't need his care at all."

Qiao Pengfei said: "I won't go there for the time being. I will go to the Central Party School to attend classes and participate in a one-month county-level cadre training class, and then I will go to Chunyang to officially register.

Old Qiao nodded and said earnestly: "Pengfei, since you have decided to take this path, you must go on it seriously. Never be as frivolous as you used to."

Qiao Pengfei said: "Grandpa. You can't always look at people with old eyes. I have been in the ** for a few years and my skin has fallen a few layers."

Old Qiao said, "What's wrong? It seems that I'm blamed for sending you to the Tibetan border?"

Qiao Pengfei smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are the supreme god of our old Qiao family, wise and powerful. No one can catch up with you. If you hadn't brought me there, it would have worked hard and my mind. How could I have today's understanding? Every little progress in my life is inseparable from your old man's teachings. You don't know that my only idol is you. Even if I can't surpass your achievements in my life, I have to work hard, at least I have to catch up with my uncle."

Mr. Qiao burst into laughter by his words. He shook his head and said, "Boy, when did you learn so poorly? There is a saying that I have to remind you first, although you have entered the officialdom, you cannot just focus on promotion. Remember, you go to the officialdom not to be an official, but to do things."

Qiao Pengfei said: "Grandpa, don't worry, am I still a descendant of the old Qiao family?"

Mr. Qiao was in a much better mood at this moment, and he waved his hand and said, "Help me see your sister off."

Qiao Mengyuan hurriedly said no, but Qiao Pengfei had already carried her suitcase and put it in his military jeep. This time he went to Binhai, Qiao Mengyuan chose to travel on the train, and Qiao Pengfei also wanted to take the opportunity to send her to chat with her alone.

After leaving the Qiao family, Qiao Pengfei said, "You are leaving so urgently? Do you know?"

Qiao Mengyuan nodded and said, "I mentioned it to him."

Qiao Pengfei said: "Grandpa doesn't want you to leave, Meng Yuan. In fact, the conditions in all aspects of the capital are better."

Qiao Mengyuan said: "I want to go out and relax."

Qiao Pengfei glanced at her and whispered: "Mengyuan, I feel that you have changed a lot recently. It seems that you don't want to stay at home for too long. Is it because of my aunt's death? It's a estrangement between you and your uncle?"

Qiao Mengyuan didn't say anything, her eyes turned to the car window.

Qiao Pengfei said: "It's not that I spoke to my uncle. It's hard to say about love. It was my aunt who insisted on becoming a monk at the beginning, but my uncle did nothing wrong."

Qiao Mengyuan said: "I didn't blame him, I didn't blame anyone. It was just my own problem for my choice to leave!" Her voice was a little excited.

Qiao Pengfei sighed and whispered: "Mengyuan, if you have time, I'd better chat with my uncle. If such a thing happened, he would never be better than us. But he has to take care of this family, so he can't express his inner emotions and understand more."

Qiao Mengyuan told Qiao Pengfei with a long silence that she didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

Qiao Pengfei could see Qiao Mengyuan's alienation and escape from this home, so Mr. Qiao naturally saw it more clearly. Shortly after Qiao Mengyuan left, Qiao Zhenliang returned home. He habitually came to his father to greet him. Mr. Qiao sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study and looked out the window quietly.

"Dad! I'm back!"

"Mengyuan is gone!"

Qiao Zhenliang responded, he knew what his daughter was leaving.

Old Qiao turned around and looked at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "Are you just indifferent?"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, my daughter is already old. She has her own career and choice. Can't I, a father, still treat her as a child?"

Old Qiao shook his head and said, "What exactly happened between you? What made you so strange and made Mengyuan want to escape from this home?"

Qiao Zhenliang knew that everything that happened between father and daughter could not be hidden from his wise father. He sighed and said, "Maybe she blamed me in her heart and blamed me for her mother's affairs." Of course, Qiao Zhenliang understood that the real reason was not the case, but he could not tell his father the truth. Just let him bear the humiliation alone. He didn't want his father to bear this heavy blow like him in his later years, so he had already prepared this more reasonable reason.

Mr. Qiao said sadly: "The more this happens, the more you father and daughter need to have a good talk. Unlock this knot. How can there be a knot between father and daughter? Chuanmei is gone, and you should be closer."

Qiao Zhenliang pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

Mr. Qiao said: "I want you to promise me that as a father, you must take good care of your children."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, I promise you that after a while, I will have a good talk with Mengyuan."

Only then did Mr. Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "What do you mean when Pengfei goes to Pinghai?"

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Yes, he has to go down to exercise anyway. I think about it and let him go to a familiar place. Du Tianye will definitely take care of him as the secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee."

Mr. Qiao said: "Don't think about taking care of everything. The children of the Qiao family do not lack abilities, but lack the quality of hard work."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, Pengfei has changed a lot in the past two years. I have seen a lot of advantages from him, some of which are not even available to Pengju."

Old Qiao smiled and said, "You praise him, there is no need to belittle his son, right?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "These young people cannot become great without experiencing the fight. Pengfei's experience in serving in the border border made him mature a lot, so don't worry that he cannot endure hardship. I can see from several things that Pengfei is mature."

Mr. Qiao said: "I hope he is really as you said."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, although you have never said it, I know that you have always felt deeply regretful that no one in Pengju's generation has entered the career path."

Mr. Qiao said: "Do you really think you know me so well?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "You forgot that you insisted on opposing Pengju's business."

Old Qiao smiled and said, "One time and another time, my mentality has changed a lot. It is a blessing for children to be safe. They do whatever they like. I will never force them."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, politics is actually about blood. Although everyone doesn't recognize it, no one in his heart will deny it. Children from our families are born with stronger political understanding than other children."

Old Qiao did not deny his son's words. His hands were tangled together, and his thumbs collided rhythmically, as if he was thinking about something.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Pengfei is less than 30 years old this year, and now //Shumilou's fastest text update. -No ads//It's not too late to start."

Old Qiao said: "His starting point is not low."

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Actually, when you always sent him to serve in Tibet, you mean to let him enter the official career, but you always don't admit it."

Old Qiao looked at his son meaningfully and suddenly showed a secret smile. He whispered: "You, if you have time to figure out what I think, it's better to think carefully about how to do my job well."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I'm a little lacking in motivation recently."

Old Qiao said: "It's not that you lack motivation, it's that you're discouraged?"

Qiao Zhenliang did not speak, but he had already recognized his father's definition in his expression.

Old Qiao said: "It is a terrible thing for a person to lose motivation. Zhenliang, you are still young and have many opportunities. These two years are the critical moment of the transition from the old to the new. The old comrade has retreated, and it is time for your generation to be the leader."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, I really don't have any big ambitions."

Mr. Qiao said: "No matter what choice you make, I will support you." His topic returned to his granddaughter: "Did Mengyuan tell you that she is going to help Zhang Yang with bonded area investment work this time?"

Qiao Zhenliang shook his head. He only knew that his daughter was going to Binhai. As for what he was going to do, he really didn't know.

Mr. Qiao blamed her with some dissatisfaction: "How did you become a father? You don't know anything about your daughter. I think it's no wonder Mengyuan wants to escape from this family. Have you ever cared about her? Have you ever fulfilled the responsibility of being a father?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "Dad, I admit that I didn't do well enough, and I will try my best to improve it in the future."

Qiao Laoyu said earnestly: "No matter how busy you work, you cannot ignore your family. There is not only a problem with Chuanmei. You have to find the reason from yourself. Although I don't know what happened to you, if you always care about her and have not ignored the care of her family, she will not have reached the point of becoming a monk. A good family will just be separated like this. Wouldn't you feel sad?"

Qiao Zhenliang's heart is like a knife. These days, he has been silently enduring these pains. The cruel facts make him feel in pain. But as the eldest son of the Qiao family, he has to force his face to laugh. Who can feel his sorrow? (To be continued)~.< Shuhai Pavilion >-~
