Li Jianzhen was born in 1907 in Dongyeshe Xiaoshan Village, Xiaosheng Town, Fengshun County. Her younger brother Li Yongliang came to Guangzhou to visit her for the first time. in 1969. Usually, Li Jianzhen is very strict with his relatives in his hometown. When he writes or sends a message, he always says: "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. Don't waste time and money. Don't come to Guangzhou. You should do a good job at home and do a good job." . ”

This time, the younger brother finally got his sister’s permission and arrived in Guangzhou. The first thing he felt was surprise: Is this the sister's home that went through the Long March? The house was ordinary, the furniture was very old, there were a few benches, a wicker chair, and a coffee table that could often be seen in the countryside. It was really similar to him. My imaginary sister's house is too far away.

One day, Yongliang whispered: "Sister, the house in my hometown is too old. We still live in the old house you lived in when you were born. Now we plan to build a new one." At the same time, he proposed to the eldest sister. A request to help build a house. After hearing this, Li Jianzhen smiled and said: "My sister has no money.

Jianqiang felt very uncomfortable and thought about it day and night. Finally, he thought of his aunt Li Jianzhen. I think it's just a matter of "one year difference". As long as my aunt talks and asks the relevant departments to take care of me for a while, it shouldn't be a problem to realize my wish.

Later, Jianqiang took the application form and went to the provincial capital to find Li Jiazhen, hoping that she would pick up a pen and write down comments that could solve her problems.

To Jianqiang’s expectation, Li Jianzhen was silent after hearing this. After a long time, she slowly said: "The Communist Party cannot be hereditary, and officials cannot be elected from one generation to another. They must be officials from generation to generation. I cannot speak about your affairs or your requests, let alone write."

Such "good intentions" cannot be accepted

In 1973, after relatives learned that Li Jianzhen would return to his hometown at some time, they decided to repair the burned house.

She said: "There are old community construction funds for the construction of old communities, subsidies for people who have difficulties and difficulties, and disaster relief funds for disasters. Do you know that disaster relief funds are special national expenditures and no one can transfer them casually. This is an ironclad Discipline. You took advantage of my return to my hometown to use the disaster relief funds to build my old house. Have you ever thought about the impact this will have on society and the people? This money must be recovered immediately. "

When meeting with her nephew and other relatives, she also made a sincere explanation to her relatives about this matter: "Disaster relief money is life-saving money, and it is the party and the government's concern for the production and life of the people in the disaster area. A special kind of funding is a principled issue that reflects the care and concern of the party and the government for the people in the disaster area. Out of "good intentions", the commune leaders specially approved 400 yuan of disaster relief funds to repair our house. Such "good intentions", Auntie can't get it, and you can't get it either!" Later, the allocated money was taken back by the commune.

Part 2: Essay collection on honest family tradition

The Tang family has been working as deputy director for ten years. In terms of qualifications and ability, he should have been corrected long ago. Those who were promoted together with him Most of them have already become directors. Some friends also advised him to "run away", but he just agreed with a smile and did not take any action. During this cadre adjustment, he was finally promoted to director based on his excellent work ability.

Taking advantage of Sunday, the Tang family, who had not returned to their hometown for two months, decided to take their wife and son back. In order to show his filial piety, he also bought a pair of soft cloud cigarettes and two bottles of Fenjiu.

Tang Jiazheng’s hometown is in the countryside, a small mountain village far away from the county seat. Every time Tang Jiazheng returns home, he will feel a warm feeling in his heart when he looks at the shabby but clean and tidy courtyard. After a long separation, the family is particularly affectionate when they meet.

The Tang family felt much more at ease looking at the smiles on their parents' faces and their relatively healthy bodies.

Unknowingly, at noon, my wife got up and went into the kitchen to help her mother cook. The son watched TV intently. When they were alone, the Tang family noticed that their father's expression gradually became serious, and he was twirling the cigarette he had handed over for a long time without lighting it in his hand. Seeing his father like this, Tang Jiazheng suddenly became nervous. He has been afraid of his father since he was a child, and this feeling continues to this day. Although my father was a farmer, he was born with an upright spirit. His father's personality had a subtle influence on him, and his upright work characteristics had a lot to do with his father's temperament.

After a while, my father spoke: "Jia Zheng, you are now the chief of the government. According to the old saying, you have the power. Your mother and I are happy for you, but today dad is going to To pour some cold water on you, we must not do anything illegal or disciplined!"

Tang Jiazheng was confused by his father's words, and he instinctively asked: "Dad, why did I violate the law and discipline? "?"

The father raised the cigarette in his hand and said: "You have smoked such good cigarettes now? How much salary do you have per month? Can you afford such cigarettes? If it is for official business, then It's for work, dad has no objection. If there is no distinction between public and private matters, then what is it if it's not against the law? The good cigarettes and wine you brought me show your son's affection for me. If you bought them with your own money, dad. Accept it. If you take advantage of the public family, can dad still eat and drink with peace of mind? Also, the car you parked at the door and you came back to see me and your mother today are definitely not doing business. What is this if it is not seeking personal gain with power?" < /p>

His father's words hit Tang Jiazheng's heart like a whip. He said to his father: "I bought cigarettes and wine to honor you. Using the company's car is nothing, everyone is like this now... "

"I can do it but you can't. This is a family tradition!" Before he could finish his words, his father interrupted him, "I can't control what other people do, but our Old Tang family is like this. This is absolutely not possible! Our old Tang family has lived by diligence and frugality for generations, being lenient to others and strict with ourselves, understanding the general situation, and being upright. We have never produced a son who is someone's backbone. Although our family has never produced any high-ranking officials. Live a responsible and honest life. Your father and I have been in charge of things in the village all our lives, and if nothing else happens, we have lost a good reputation..."

On the way back to the county seat, Tang Jiazheng's mind kept popping up. Following his father’s sincere teachings: “Public and private are relative, and there is no way to take care of both. If you want to be public, you cannot be selfish, and if you want to seek personal gain, you must harm the public.

You are the one in charge, and everyone is watching you. Only if you are not greedy or occupying, and are fair in dealing with things, will everyone respect you and your words will be effective... Your mother and I are both old, and we don’t have any big expectations. Pan, I just hope that you will be safe and sound, and hope that you will pass on the good family tradition of our Old Tang family..."

As he thought about it, Tang Jiazheng's heart gradually became brighter, and the road ahead became wider and smoother. A lot, his eyes became firmer... ;
