Chapter 383 Reminiscing about the past

"I haven't asked the leader where he came from, and whether he has any instructions or suggestions for our Xiaoleijia Village this time."

Lei Dongbao led Gu Yu and the others to the team committee, asked Sibao to serve tea, and asked the others to leave.

"Speaking of which, I have a deep connection with Jinling County. My father was once the secretary here and later died on the job.

These two are my fiancée and brother-in-law. They are both locals and their homes are in Hongwei Town, which is not far from here.

Xiaohui speaks highly of your Xiaolei family. We came back this time just to see the style of the advanced places in the county. "Gu Yu smiled and explained the history.

"Your father is not Secretary Gu, and you are Writer Gu, right?" Lei Dongbao thought for a moment, slapped his thigh, and stood up with an excited look on his face.

"Secretary Lei knows me?" Gu Yu smiled and nodded.

"Oh, how could I not know? It was thanks to Secretary Gu that our Jinling County saved our village from starvation. We will never forget this kindness!

Sibao, Sibao, go and call Uncle over and tell him that Secretary Gu’s son, Writer Gu, has come to our place. This is an honor for our Xiaolei family!”

Lei Dongbao shouted loudly towards the door, and Sibao responded by running out of the team committee.

"Secretary Lei, calm down. Please sit down. That was my father's contribution. It has nothing to do with me." Gu Yu pressed his hand and motioned Lei Dongbao to sit down.

Although Lei Dongbao was very enthusiastic and excited, Gu Yu knew that more than 20 years had passed and some things should not be taken too seriously.

"You can't say that. I haven't been to school for a few days and I don't have much education, but I know that a drop of water should be returned with a spring.

Besides, Secretary Gu saved countless lives back then. I have experienced the feeling of being hungry, it is really uncomfortable!" Lei Dongbao said sincerely.

"Just now I heard you call me Writer Gu. If I remember correctly, this is the first time we met.

I don’t know how Secretary Lei knew me. "Gu Yu smiled and didn’t know if it was okay, so he talked about other topics.

"Rural people like to chat when they are free. Didn't you come to Jinling County for an inspection before? Then we spread the word.

I had just returned from military service, and the old secretary of our Xiaoleijia Brigade regretted not being able to meet you when he found out.

You may not know that our old brigade secretary worked with Secretary Gu to fight drought and protect grain.

Every time Secretary Gu came to visit us, my uncle was always with him. "Lei Dongbao explained, being talkative.

“Also, if I’m not mistaken, these two are the siblings of the Song family from Hongwei Town, right?

They all got into college, that's amazing, everyone in the surrounding villages knows about it,

I envy the Song family for raising such promising children. "Lei Dongbao said with a smile,

But he didn't finish what he was saying. In the past two years, there have been rumors nearby that Song Jishan's daughter Song Yunping has turned into a beautiful woman and is dating Secretary Gu Gang's son.

But seeing as how she met today, she has the capital, otherwise Gu Yu wouldn't have taken a fancy to her.

"It seems that the local customs and feelings are strong. Secretary Lei also gets along well with the common people and has done a good job of collecting intelligence."

Gu Yu made a joke. Hearing this, Lei Dongbao scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Song Yunping and Song Yunhui, who were sitting next to them, also smiled friendly.

"Where is writer Gu? Where is writer Gu?"

Gu Yu and Lei Dongbao were chatting when the old man's rough and anxious voice came in.

"Are you Secretary Gu's son, Writer Gu Yu?"

When the old secretary saw Gu Yu and his party at the door, he shook off Sibao's support, took two big steps forward, took Gu Yu's hand and asked,

"It is me, but please don't call me that. I don't deserve it." Gu Yu also stood up and greeted him.

"Yeah, really, you look alike. When I see you, I think of Secretary Gu..."

The old secretary held Gu Yu's hand tightly, looked at his face, and tears came down as he spoke.

"Uncle, what are you doing? It's your happy day." Lei Dongbao hurried forward to persuade him.

After a while, the old secretary calmed down and everyone sat down again.

"When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past and can't control their emotions. Please bear with me, Writer Gu." The old secretary said politely.

"You are embarrassing me. I just heard Secretary Dongbao say that you and my father once fought against drought together.

You can just call me Gu Yu." Gu Yu said with a smile.

"Thanks to Secretary Gu's leadership, life was hard at that time, but we were united.

As long as Secretary Gu was here, we were never afraid, and no one in any family starved to death.

After Secretary Gu left, I went to Secretary Liu's home as a representative to see you. Later, Secretary Gu entrusted you to his comrades, and I went to see you off as well."

When the old secretary talked about the past, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Every year during the Qingming Festival, my uncle takes us to the Jinling County Cemetery to visit Secretary Gu's grave." Lei Dongduo said.

“Although I don’t come to Jinling very often, I can always feel the strong nostalgia for my hometown every time I visit.

For my father, what he hopes most is that the people of Jinling can live a good life.

Xiaolei's family has developed well under the leadership of the two secretaries.

Today I am helping my father to see the place where he fought and sacrificed his life."

Seeing that the atmosphere was so emotional, Gu Yu also made a timely response.

Now the old secretary couldn't hold back his tears again, and the tall and mighty Lei Dongbao couldn't help sniffling.

After a while, they talked about the current situation of the Xiaoleijia Brigade.

"Dongbao, is there anything you can't tell Writer Gu? He's a cultured person, maybe he can give you some advice."

After hearing what the old secretary said, Lei Dongbao stopped being coy and confessed the plight of the Lei family to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu sighed in his heart. The two new and old secretaries of the Xiao Lei family were indeed the leaders with their own thoughts and ideas.

No wonder the Xiaolei family was able to seize opportunities and stay ahead of the times.

"The country has just started reform and opening up, and many policies still need time to be implemented. Although the road is tortuous, the future is definitely bright.

Today I also learned in detail about the development of your brigade. Compared with the period before reform and opening up, and even in the most difficult years, it is many times better now.

The most important thing is that people are united, and even mountains can be moved. Under the leadership of the brigade committee, the villagers should be able to enjoy both happiness and hardship.

When I have the chance to meet with county leaders, I will also help ask about the situation and see if the county can provide more support. "Gu Yu said slowly and calmly.

"Brother Yu, Xiaohui is going to take us to other places and bring us back with something." Song Yunping said softly.

"Sorry for disturbing you today. It's time to leave." Gu Yu stood up with a smile.

Lei Dongbao wanted to say something but was stopped by the old secretary.

"It's our fault that we delayed Writer Gu's arrangements. Come visit Xiao Lei's house more often when you have time.

I was not able to arrange a good meal for you this time, I feel really bad about it!"

With the farewell of the villagers of Xiaoleijia, Gu Yu, Song Yunping and Song Yunhui got on the car and left Xiaoleijia Brigade.
