Back in Maoyun, Hou Weidong held a small-scale work meeting to study the construction of the new city and returned to his dormitory until 9 pm. During the meeting, he received a call from his second sister. On the phone, the second sister said that her mother's condition had been repeated and had already arrived at the provincial hospital. As for what was the condition? She couldn't explain clearly, but she just said that the doctor judged that there might be a liver metastasis in cancer cells. Shazhou Hospital did not make a positive judgment, but only suggested that she be transferred to the Provincial People's Hospital for a review.

Upon hearing this news, Hou Weidong's heart was covered with a shadow. With his position in Shazhou, the doctor did not have certainty to make such suggestions. The review suggestion could only say with certainty that his mother's condition had indeed worsened and should be very serious. After so long, Hou Weidong accepted the fact that his mother had cancer in his heart, but there were still fantasies and hoped that the cancer had been effectively and comprehensively controlled.

From now on, this seems to be just a fantasy. Disease is fair to everyone, whether it is happy or unfortunate, whether it is high or low. Under the brutal invasion of disease, no one has the power to fight back. The old leader Zhou Changquan has left. Is it his mother's turn? The departure of his relatives is the greatest sorrow in the world. It is precisely because of his power to stop this sorrow, that the sorrow seems deeper.

After putting down the phone and being silent at home for a long time, Hou Weidong called Yan Chunping, "Check whether there are any specific arrangements for the provincial and municipal committees tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Yan Chunping is now a very qualified deputy division-level secretary. He has made full preparations for all the information Hou Weidong may need. He took out his precious notebook and took a look at it and knew the information about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This is his own unique secret skill, which he has carried with him for a long time and is never shown to others.

After obtaining the accurate information, Hou Weidong arranged: "The Municipal Government Office Meeting will be held another day, and the specific time will be notified separately. All other meetings will be cancelled."

Yan Chunping agreed without asking any more questions. He immediately notified the driver: "Mayor Hou will go out tomorrow, check the vehicle, prepare enough fuel, turn on the phone, and wait for arrangements at any time."

Lao Zhao asked: How far will you go tomorrow?

Yan Chunping said: "Prepare as you go to the provincial capital."

After arranging the driver, he immediately called Maoyun's provincial capital office and asked to prepare the room and use it with the driver himself.

After doing all this, Yan Chunping walked to the living room and sat down with his wife Chuntian. "I just received a call from Mayor Weidong. Although his tone was calm, he did not talk about specific things. I still heard some anxiety. If what I expected was, it should be that my aunt's condition had repeated."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Who am I? I am my father's son, your husband, Mayor Weidong's secretary. I don't have this predictive ability, so I don't have to make a living."

"You are so powerful, is it possible that Mayor Weidong can do this?"

"There is only one Weidong Mayor in the province. He has accumulated all the right time, place and people. No matter how hard I try, I can't reach the level of a boss. I have a clear understanding of this. I have worked for more than ten years and have no big problems with getting a department-level cadre."

"This is a bit too bragging!"

"This is not bragging. The boss has too many political resources. This is all resources that can be used for me. You should go to bed. I will have to go to bed for two days and be happy once."

Chuntian's face flushed and said, "You go to bed when you go to bed. The east wind blows war drums and thunder. Who is afraid of who in today's world?"

Yan Chunping continued: "In the whole world, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. In our house, either you suppress me or I suppress you, come on!"

In Hou Weidong's dormitory, he put his hand next to the table, and while reading a book, he waited for his phone to ring. When it was eleven o'clock, the phone finally rang, and it was Zhang Xiaojia's call back.

"What's your matter with my husband? I see you have called three times."

"What are you busy with? I don't answer the phone even if it rings."

Zhang Xiaojia drank a glass of lemonade to dilute the smell of alcohol in his mouth and said, "The Provincial Department of Education came to inspect the nine-year compulsory education. I accompanied them to several schools, made reports, and had dinner and sang together in the evening. The head of the inspection team is Secretary Ning's old friend. Secretary Ning greeted him specifically, so I accompanied him throughout the journey."

Hou Weidong had a deep understanding of this. Before speaking, he sighed and said, "I received a call from my sister today. My mother went to Lingxi First People's Hospital. The doctor in Shazhou judged that it was liver metastasis.

"No, my mom recovers well."

"The doctor is not sure that my mother will not go to Lingxi in such a thing. You can take time to come to Lingxi and spend more time with my mother."

Due to Hou Weidong's relationship, Zhang Xiaojia's status in Shazhou is quite transcendent. As long as there is no special and important matter, there is absolutely no problem to ask for two or three days off for her mother.

Zhang Xiaojia has been married to the Hou family for many years and has a very good relationship with her mother Liu Guangfen. When she heard that her condition worsened, she immediately became heavier. The heaviness was not because of interest, but because of pure concern for her mother's condition.

The next morning, Hou Weidong came to Duan Yiyong's office of the Municipal Party Committee.

"I have received a lot of news in the past few days. Citizens have a great opinion on the relocation of Nancheng, and the conflicts are intensifying. In order to avoid the Miaofenggao incident, can we temporarily delay the advancement? We can't find out more about it, conduct in-depth research, conduct more publicity, form a consensus among the majority, and discuss a safe plan before we can implement it. We cannot withstand another Miaofenggao incident." Hou Weidong knew that Duan Yiyong was eager to promote the transformation of Nancheng, but as the mayor, some words must be said, and it is a dereliction of duty to keep silent even if there is a problem. After the talk, Duan Yiyong must act alone, and that is his responsibility.

Duan Yiyong was very cautious about Hou Weidong, and he would involuntarily explore his true purpose when he said it. When Hou Weidong said his thoughts, his first reaction in his mind was that Hou Weidong wanted to use the North City to suppress the South City. He smiled and said, "Where will the city construction be smooth? There is no such easy thing. As long as we make up our minds and persist in doing it, we will always build a first-class big city in the province. As for the Miaofenggao incident, it was an accident. The on-site commander bears great responsibility. We must strictly hold it accountable. Sometimes we must drive everyone to walk with a whip, otherwise many comrades will be too distorted. Ji Cheng told me several times, and some comrades did not listen to hello and did not obey the commander. They must make up their minds to change a group of cadres to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so as not to take the municipal party committee seriously."

Duan Yiyong's statement made Hou Weidong even more worried. For a person in power, any irrational behavior must have profound reasons, and this reason may not be known to others.

Without any speculation, Hou Weidong talked about his mother's condition and left the municipal party committee, and then drove straight to Lingxi.

Along the way, I passed many scenic spots, and the scenery was picturesque and could not enter Hou Weidong's eyes. His heart was filled with his mother's illness. When a person died, this was a natural law that could not be escaped. Whether it was as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather, if he left, he would leave, and he would never meet. All meanings have no meaning to the dead. Meaning is left for the living, or even for people other than his relatives.

After thinking about his mother's condition for a while, his thoughts turned to work. He no longer had to worry about Nancheng, but thought about how to build a good Beicheng. Although Beicheng faced difficulties, it had a huge capacity. As long as it was well built, it could absorb a large number of Nancheng people and gradually complete the urban population transfer. This requires a meticulous water grinding effort and it is difficult to rush to achieve success. The current difficulty lies in the poor areas of Beicheng that have always been considered dirty and messy. The people in Nancheng are unwilling to go to Beicheng, which leads to insufficient confidence in developing Beicheng.

When he arrived at the provincial capital, he drove the car directly into the People's Hospital. When he was treating Zhou Changquan's old leader, Hou Weidong established close contact with the Provincial People's Hospital. He did not go to his mother's ward first, but directly found the attending doctor.

"Mayor Hou, we are now arranging Teacher Liu for a comprehensive inspection."

"Shazhou Hospital has conducted an examination. After you watched Shazhou movies, what is the situation? Dean He is worried, I have enough ability to bear it."

"We are checking here. Before the inspection results come out, I dare not make accurate judgments. However, judging from the movie I got, the situation is not optimistic."

"Can I do a liver transplant? I can provide my liver source."

“This requires further judgment.”

After talking to Dean He, Hou Weidong felt particularly heavy and stood in the aisle for a long time until he met his brother-in-law He Yong, and then he walked into the ward together.

Liu Guangfen was in good spirits and his face was rosy. When he saw his younger son, he said, "Why are you here too? I am an old patient and I have to go to the hospital at any time. You have to focus on your work to be the top leader in the same place. It is not easy."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "My son has been a ******. He is not a novice. It is not difficult for me to be the mayor."

Liu Guangfen said: "Don't be proud either. Modesty makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind. You should go to the grassroots more often and don't be blinded by villains."

Yan Chunping entered the ward with a bouquet of flowers, asked Teacher Liu, and put the flowers on the table. He was very familiar with the Hou family, and no one regarded him as an outsider.

Liu Guangfen entered the Provincial People's Hospital with a clear heart, knowing that her condition must have worsened. She deliberately pretended to be nothing but to relieve her son's heart. Her son was responsible for his work. If his work was delayed due to his condition, it would have a bad impact on his son. Her son was not only his son, but also the mayor of a city with a population of millions. She still knew the priorities.

"Xiaojia will arrive in a while." Hou Weidong.

"My grandson also needs to bring it." Speaking of grandson, Liu Guangfen thought of two other children with great brains, and his heart was as painful as a cat. Although she missed it, she knew that this was wrong and never mentioned it on the initiative. Thinking of this, Liu Guangfen felt even more sorry for Xiaojia, and pulled her son to her side and whispered: "Xiaojia is my favorite daughter-in-law, don't let her down in your life."

Hou Weidong nodded, "Only when people are middle-aged, they realize that family is the first priority. I will maintain my marriage."
