Chapter 14 Standing

Xue Zhiliang, a civil affairs cadre, sat on the chair opposite to Secretary Wang, staring at the densely written work manual. After reporting the county's detailed arrangements for job recruitment, he looked up and saw that he was sitting at the place where the bed and the desk intersected at right angles. Secretary Wang, resting his cheek on the palm of his right hand and resting his elbow on the corner of the table, fell asleep. Well!He probably didn't listen to a few words.Old Xue sighed softly, feeling very uncomfortable.It's not good to just go away; if you don't go, I'm too embarrassed to wake up his leader.When he was in trouble, he boredly observed the top leader of the society with a population of more than 10,000: the old cotton cap with earflaps on his head was askew, the clothes on his body were wrinkled, and there was dust hidden in the folds of his feet. , the yellow mud covered most of the uppers of the handmade cotton shoes.He slept soundly, his lips were pursed, his sparse and sparse beard in disrepair was messy and long, and the long face of a middle-aged man who was close to fifty showed fatigue and sleepiness.Lao Xue suddenly felt sympathetic to his leader. He ran all day long in more than 20 brigades belonging to the commune, and in more than a dozen new and old commune-run enterprises, helping his subordinates solve many difficult problems. Boil your eyes!Lao Xue forgave the leader's impolite behavior, and sighed helplessly.

At this time, Secretary Wang woke up. "Hey!" Secretary Wang smiled apologetically, with a pink silk film covering the whites of his eyes. Old Xue also smiled, expressing his understanding. Secretary Wang stood up, pulled off the towel, dipped the washbasin in water, wiped his face vigorously, and asked, "What is the main spirit? Say it in three or five sentences." Xue Zhiliang pondered for a while, trying to summarize the six or seven pages of records in the notebook, and said: "The county requires that all the places allocated for this recruitment should be sent to the team. The quota means that no one is allowed to go through the back door under any excuse. The 'Gang of Four' has been crushed..."

"Yeah!" Secretary Wang nodded and asked again, "How many quotas have we allocated?" "Forty." Xue Zhiliang replied, "Twenty-five educated youths, fifteen peasant youths." "What are the specific arrangements for the county?" Secretary Wang asked. "First use one week to publicize and do a good job in ideological education; in the second week, assign the quota to the brigade, determine the candidates and report back to the commune; in the third week, political review and physical examination; in the fourth week, report to the county for approval. Before and after a month, no delay is allowed .” Xue Zhiliang said.

"Okay!" Secretary Wang said, "You give us a specific plan, and we will discuss it at the regular meeting of the Revolutionary Committee on Monday night, and if it is passed, we will do it." Xue Zhiliang nodded. "I haven't recruited workers for many years, so there must be many problems!" Secretary Wang said, "Do solid work, and try to avoid problems." "That's what the county leaders repeatedly told me!" Xue Zhiliang said, "I'm afraid that various 'relationships' will interfere..." "Don't be afraid! Interference is certain." Secretary Wang said, "The key is the two of us. I am the leader here, and you are the person in charge of the specific affairs. The contradiction will definitely focus on us. Stand upright, it's easy to handle!"

"I'm insured!" Xue Zhiliang promised with a smile, and walked out of Secretary Wang's house confidently. Xue Zhiliang wrote the words "Recruitment Office" on a piece of red paper and pasted it on the brick wall outside the door to prevent visitors from knocking on other people's doors and affecting the work of other comrades.Then sit at your desk, spread out the paper, and draft a plan. There was a rattling of wheels into the yard, then the slamming of a door switch; then his door was pushed open. "Is Yusheng here?" a man wearing a wool overcoat asked standing at the door.

In Xue Zhiliang's memory, people used to call Wang Yusheng "Secretary Wang".During his five or six years as a civil affairs cadre in the commune, he had seldom heard a voice calling him by his first name without even his surname. "Here!" Xue Zhiliang immediately stood up, walked out, led the visitor to the door of Secretary Wang's room, and pushed the door open: "Secretary Wang, someone is looking for you!" Secretary Wang was talking with the secretary in the office, and turned his head to identify the person who came. "Yusheng! You dominate here! It's so hard to find!" the visitor said happily.

Secretary Wang hurriedly stood up as if awakened, walked to the door, and smiled in surprise: "Ah! Laoguan! I didn't expect it to be you, coming to my ravine..." "There is a god's house medicine in the mountains, and those who seek it can travel thousands of miles..." Xue Zhiliang walked back to his house and looked at the egg-blue car in the small courtyard, which looked particularly dazzling when it was parked on the dirt.When the leaders of the county and prefectural committees come to the commune to inspect production and work, they always take a jeep.Judging by the style of the faction and listening to the tone, the visitor is extraordinary.

About an hour later, Secretary Wang walked in, sat on the chair opposite to Lao Xue, frowned, looked embarrassed, and complained: "It's difficult! Things are really difficult!" Xue Zhiliang could probably guess a few percent, and asked, "What's the matter?" "Hi! Guess who that is? Our old superior is now a minister in the city." Secretary Wang said, "What are you doing here? The back door is here!" "Oh!" Xue Zhiliang confirmed that his guess was right. As soon as the old leader came, he first went through the old account: "When I was in the county, I went to your village to see you for the first time. You were wearing single pants in snowy weather, and your bare feet were wearing rotten shoes. I asked someone to solve it for you first. Wearing a cotton coat, remember? I promoted you to the county youth league committee, and on the first day, you ate seven steamed buns in one meal..." When he said that, I couldn't open my mouth...

"Who is he going to do what?" Xue Zhiliang asked. "The granddaughter of the top leader of their ministry jumped in line at our East King..." "Have you promised?" "The old leader lost his old face, I..." "Forget it! Let's leave a spot." Xue Zhiliang said for the leader, "It's just not easy to push." "Don't make an example!" Secretary Wang said determinedly, a little annoyed. Xue Zhiliang smiled and nodded. "It seems that this job is more troublesome than one can imagine!" Xue Zhiliang thought after Secretary Wang walked out the door.In fact, more than two months before the county held a meeting on job recruitment yesterday, news of job recruitment had already been circulated.He is a civil affairs cadre, and he is often questioned and probed by people who are concerned about this matter.He answered everyone with one sentence: "I haven't seen the official notice from the superior." Many people in various clothes made flattering, flattering, and fawning faces, and offered to help out in the future.He also responded with one sentence: "Wait for the superior to communicate, and then we will see, if it does not violate the policy, try to help..." What can I do?In today's China, where there are obvious differences between civilized cities and backward rural areas, who has the ability and power to reverse this powerful flood into the city?Especially after the party's traditional ideology has been polluted, it is even more difficult to deal with the problem normally.Look now, as soon as the signboard was put up in the morning, many people flocked to his house.He simply packed up the documents to be drafted, locked the door, and hid in the room of the female family planning cadre to write. This is a deserted yamen that everyone is afraid of.

Before writing two pages, Lao Xue heard someone calling his name in the yard. The voice was rough, loud, and tight, just like the voice of a donkey. Xue Zhiliang had no choice but to put together a pen and paper, and went out the door. He saw Yang Mouer, the director of the brick factory run by the society, standing in the yard, looking around.This man was in his forties, tall, with shiny bald hair, and a pair of big and treacherous eyes under his fat eyes. When he saw him, he couldn't wait to shout: "Old Xue, hurry up! Secretary Wang is calling you! " Director Yang stepped over and put his arm around Xue Zhiliang's shoulder.It looked like an affectionate gesture, but it actually felt like the thick arms were pushing him to go fast.

Next to Secretary Wang, sat a middle-aged stranger. Judging from the color of his face, he was well nourished. On his chubby round head, he wore a tufted cap and a Lenin-style padded jacket with a fur collar. , and the neck is lined with a two-color scarf with half red and half blue. "This is Lao Sun, the Chief of the Supply and Marketing Section of Mailbox 102!" Yang Mouer introduced Lao Xue.Chief Sun sat on the chair without moving, with a limited smile on his fat face, not overly attentive like ordinary people who ask for help.Yang Mouer introduced to the other party again: "This is the chief of the civil affairs department of our commune, Lao Xue." Xue Zhiliang held the guest's hand, feeling rather awkward: he was the only one who was assigned to do civil affairs in the commune, and he never had any "specialties"!Today, he was named section chief by the director of the society-run brick factory!He thought that Yang Mouer was joking with him, but when he looked back, Yang Mouer's face was straight, and he was more serious when he was lying than when he was telling the truth. Secretary Wang glanced at Xue Zhiliang with a smile, turned his head to strike a match and lit his cigarette, as if deliberately leaving the matter to others. Yang Mouer fixed his flexible eyes on Lao Xue, and spoke like a machine gun: "That's the thing. Section Chief Sun is from Sunjiawan in our commune. His family lives in the provincial capital and he often doesn't come back. It is our Xiangdang. The Xiangdang met with the Xiangdang relatives. Section Chief Sun often cared about our commune. When we were preparing for the brick factory the year before last, we couldn’t get big motors everywhere. Section Chief Sun solved it for us! This time, he gave us two supports. A car, a new 'Yanhe' from the factory. If you wait for the higher-ups to distribute it, you may not be able to allocate one in a year..." After listening to Yang Mouer, Lao Xue concentrated on one point, that is, after passing this village, there will never be a second shop.Although the car is extremely out of stock, it is far from the job of a civil affairs cadre. The meaning of calling him here is very clear. "Section Chief Sun's niece is in the team, and she wants to take advantage of this recruitment opportunity... Secretary Wang asked to discuss with you..." Xue Zhiliang smiled gently and looked at Secretary Wang.He told everyone in the room with an easy-going smile: The secretary can figure it out!As long as you nod, I will reserve another spot.I don't want to please anyone, and I don't want to offend anyone.Fifty-year-old civil affairs cadres in communes, do they still want to win official positions by pleasing someone?boring! "Our brick factory can't do it without a car! Pulling coal all day long, the freight alone can't afford it! Clear the kiln slag and fill up the site! If you have a car, you can send it to the nearby village to pave the road, killing two birds with one stone. Old Sun In order to solve our difficulties, I thought of all the unexpected ways! I bought it first in the name of their subjects. With us, hey! I don’t even want to kowtow to others..." Hearing Yang Mouer's words, Lao Xue felt bored!These words, during the many years he joined the revolutionary ranks, were discarded as rubbish.How is it now? After the Cultural Revolution, people like Yang Mouer chased these rubbish things like honey, and dared to speak loudly in front of the secretary of the commune party committee... Look at Section Chief Sun again!Leaning firmly on the back of the chair, leisurely puffing out puffs of smoke, lightly brushing off the ash from the cigarette butt, without saying a word.Someone speaks for him, worries for him, handles affairs for him, and shows off for him!He has two cars - matter really is the basis!It can teach Sun Kechang to be strong and strong! After Yang Mouer finished talking, he looked at Secretary Wang beggingly.Xue Zhiliang is also waiting for the secretary's ruling. Secretary Wang knocked off the cigarette ashes, picked up three ticket rolls from the table, shook them in the air as if to show them (it was specially for Xue Zhiliang to read), and then pressed them down on the table with a loud sound, as if carrying Said in a mocking tone: "How? Old Xue! Two cars, in exchange for one recruitment form, is this business worthwhile for you?" Xue Zhiliang was really not mentally prepared for such a naked question, he was aggressive: "You...you see... just look!" "I think it's worth it!" Secretary Wang said, "'take from the people, use it for the people'!" Yang Mouer smiled relievedly and nodded to the secretary... Section Chief Sun also showed a reserved smile... Secretary Wang handed the tickets on the table to Yang Mouer, and said, "One for you, one for the tractor station, don't miss the delivery deadline!" "Then don't worry!" Yang Mouer carefully put the ticket into the ticket holder and put it in his pocket. "That watch?" Chief Sun said the first sentence. "Watch?" Secretary Wang looked at Xue Zhiliang. Xue Zhiliang said: "The watch is in the county, and it hasn't been issued yet." "Don't worry, don't worry!" Yang Mouer patted Section Chief Sun on the shoulder, "What my Secretary Wang said is the highest instruction of the commune, don't worry!" Yang Mouer and Section Chief Sun went out happily, got into the black-shell car one after another, and left.Secretary Wang left the civil affairs cadres in his house and said with a wry smile: "This is not an example!" Xue Zhiliang still nodded with a smile. "Don't make an example! Resolute!" Secretary Wang reiterated his determination, "I'll go now and live in the Donggou Brigade on the mountain. No one can ask me, don't reveal it! Unless the superior has an emergency meeting, you call me! You press Do your plan!" After Secretary Wang escaped to the countryside, Deputy Secretary Zheng, Director Xiao and Director He couldn't stand the endless pestering, and fled one after another, and went to live in a certain brigade. Lao Xue was trapped in an office that doubled as a dormitory, with visitors sitting on the beds, people without stools standing in the gaps of the house, and people surrounded by the stove.When the water is finished, someone calls back automatically and burns it on the stove... Members from every village in the commune, young people, old men, wives, and cadres of some large and small brigades, as well as the parents of educated youths from the city, workers, peasants, businessmen and soldiers, no matter how big their positions, how knowledgeable they are, how rich or poor they are, all come together. Confid to this skinny civil affairs cadre of the people's commune, respectfully... Xue Zhiliang nodded from time to time, expressing that he had listened to all kinds of difficulties and reasons.Indeed, some parents' complaints are difficult, and it is heartbreaking to hear. Many of us are not living a happy life!Facing the faces twitching in pain, and the narrators who shed tears one after another, he bit his lip, not leaking a single thing, and making no promises.He knew in his heart that the superiors allocated only forty places to the whole commune, and the whole commune had no fewer than two thousand male and female youths with agricultural hukou, and two or three hundred educated youths, and they couldn't even take care of Laika! He can't satisfy anyone, and he doesn't tire of anyone's long-winded grievances.His temper was the first among the more than twenty cadres in the commune to be called "friendly to others".It is for this that the leaders of the commune use their abilities and assign him to do troublesome and trivial civil affairs work. Every winter, they distribute limited relief materials and money to the most needy households, and check the life of widows, widows and lonely households with five guarantees in each village. Arrangements, pensions for the families of soldiers and martyrs, quarterly wholesale of civilian timber... Although there are many flaws in his work that can be blamed, but his attitude is always good, smiling... All these are crowded in front of him. After he finished talking to the people who came, although he didn't get a firm promise, he heard a few heartwarming words, wiped away his tears and snot, and left, batch after batch... Xue Zhiliang saw that most of the people who crowded in front of him to express their difficulties and hoped to be taken care of were those who could not understand the "eye gap".Some people interrupted the talker suddenly, asking "Is Secretary Wang there?" or "Where is Director Xiao?"These people were not reconciled, blinked their distrustful eyes, and went to ask other cadres... The small courtyard of the mountain commune, which has always been quiet, is now bustling with jeeps and cars in the narrow courtyard. ... Despite this, someone still captured the commune leader.These people came back from the thawed dirt road on the hillside, on the legs of Lao Xue's desk, rubbing their muddy leather shoes unceremoniously, complaining and sighing, if it weren't for their children, their relatives The sons and daughters of their chiefs, or their chiefs, begged for the lock of paper that the leader of the commune had personally drawn. They probably would never have visited the natural scenery of the muddy paths in the mountains in their dreams.They took out the paper, looked around secretly, and handed it to Xue Zhiliang.Xue Zhiliang glanced at it, nodded as usual, and carefully put it in the drawer.Then, listen to what the declarant was interrupted by the boss... At this moment, an old man walked in, leaning on a cane in his hand, his beard and hair were all white, his teeth had fallen out, his thin face was covered with age spots the size of a pea, and it was very difficult to lift his feet and walk. He must be over eighty The mark was closed, and on his left and right, two middle-aged people walked, a man and a woman. The man seemed to be a state employee, and the woman was dressed as a well-off rural woman.They helped the old man to prevent him from stumbling and falling!Lao Xue was worried: Once he fell down, it would be very difficult for this coffin to get up again!In that case, there will be deaths in his civil affairs office... These two men and women are really, can't they say something?Why put such an old man here! The people standing in the middle of the room and those sitting on the long stools automatically moved out of the way. The old man walked across the table to Xue Zhiliang, opened his toothless mouth, and asked, "Is the bunny here?" Although the old man was old , but his tone of voice was aggressive and stubborn. Xue Zhiliang was taken aback. Among the commune cadres, there was no one with that name. The middle-aged worker next to him smiled apologetically and explained, "Secretary Wang! It's Secretary Wang!" The old man laughed himself, and said, "I called him by his nickname, but this bastard changed his name! Where is he?" "Leaving the team." Old Xue said. "Which team?" the old man asked. "have no idea!" "With his time, he will run away without a trace!" The old man said angrily, "Is he coming back today?" Xue Zhiliang heard that this must be some kind of relative of Secretary Wang, so he said, "Not necessarily coming back. You are—" "I'm his uncle!" "Is there any business with him?" "It's okay, why should I ask him! I'm seventy or eighty..." The old man stopped talking when he was pulled by the arm of the middle-aged employee beside him, and then said harshly, "His sister-in-law is seriously ill and dying! I want to see him!" It's too obvious that the old man was being manipulated into telling lies.The civil affairs cadre deliberately pretended to be surprised, and sighed, "Ah! What should I do? I don't know which village he is in now!" "I heard people say that he was scared away! Hide away!" The old man was still stubborn, "I won't leave today! Wait for him for three days and three nights..." It’s true that if you don’t see rabbits, you won’t scatter eagles!Old Xue laughed in his heart at the stubborn and childish temper of this old man who couldn't tell lies. He teased the old man and said, "If you wait here for three days and three nights, I'll take care of your meal! Let's sleep together at night. It's been a long day! But, you forgot, your wife is dying!" "Don't make fun of me, old man!" The old man said with a smile, his tone softened, "People say you are the only one who knows his whereabouts, and the two of you are very close..." Xue Zhiliang chuckled, walked out of the office, walked into the commune switchboard room, called Donggou Brigade, and called Nanliang, saying he wasn't there.Finally, I finally found it at the Beitan Brigade across the river.He led the old man and his party into the telephone room, and handed the microphone to the old man. Although this kind of communication tool that was eliminated from the state organs and distributed to the communes was not advanced, it was probably a novelty in the hands of the old uncle of Secretary Wang of the commune, who was born in the late Qing Dynasty. Xue Zhiliang pointed one end of the microphone at the old man's ear and the other at the old man's bearded mouth, and sat aside.Hearing those endless difficult complaints made his mind depressed and stuffy, but he wanted to hear how the funny stubborn old man would talk to his bunny nephew. The old man yelled into the microphone: "Rabbit boy! I'm your uncle! Uncle begs to come to your door today!" The confidentiality of the semi-automatic phone was poor, and Secretary Wang's "hehehehehe" laughter came from the microphone. "The one at your cousin's house in Shiyuan Village wanted to be a worker. Your sister and your brother-in-law forced me to come here and tell you. You can do it for your baby, and you should do it for your uncle! Is it going to work? Just smile What! No way? If not, my uncle doesn’t have a nephew like you, and you don’t have an old uncle like me..." Embarrassed laughter came from the microphone, mixed with embarrassed sighs.The old man continued: "Your uncle has a stubborn temper all his life, and you don't know? Your mother and your father died when the Huliela plague, your uncle, your three tempers are so soft, why don't you care about you? It's not my old man who brought you here Uncle’s house, a baby with feces and piss, grew from a one-foot mallet baby to a seven-foot man... Now that you are an official, you don’t recognize your uncle... Huh! Can it be done? If it can be done earlier, I will Let's all go!" Old Xue had already burst into tears with laughter, and said with a teasing smile, "Mr. Wang, Secretary Wang, is only five and a half feet at best. Why do you say seven feet? You're talking nonsense!" The childlike old man laughed and panted. The middle-aged man and woman had achieved their goal, smiled with satisfaction, and helped the old man out. Old Xue continued to tease: "Come back quickly! Old mister! My wife is mostly dead at home!" The old man chuckled, and said frankly: "His wife's bones, I'm afraid they've all turned into water..." Xue Zhiliang persuaded the visitors one after another, cleaned up the messed up furniture, cleaned the floor, and the room was quiet.Looking out from the window pane, a round of bright moon supports the mountains, and the cool moonlight shines into the house. He turned on the light, sat down, was sleepy, and took out the draft plan from the drawer. It was really difficult: Tomorrow, the recruitment target will be issued at the grassroots cadre meeting of the whole commune, and the distribution plan has not yet been finalized. Secretary Wang of the commune , Deputy Secretary Zheng, Directors Xiao and He, the number of people entrusted to him to "consider" is already quite considerable, and the number of places is really difficult to allocate.In particular, the county sent back two or three letters from the people, revealing the secret of "car substitution", and the civil affairs cadres were really embarrassed. "Secretary Wang will go back to the office tonight, let's wait for him to make an appointment!" Old Xue decided that it was not a solution. Secretary Wang came back from the village, walked straight into Xue Zhiliang's house, dropped his satchel, warmed himself on the stove, rubbed his hands and face, turned his head and asked, "Are you having a hard time these days? Ha, insurance is busy!" Xue Zhiliang smiled wryly, but without speaking, he opened the drawer, took out the two or three letters from the masses, and silently handed them to Secretary Wang.Watching Secretary Wang stepping on the edge of the stove, reading the letter carefully, sometimes turning his head with the cotton cap to one side, and then tilting it to the other, to read the illegible cursive characters on the letter paper.After reading it, Secretary Wang handed it back to Lao Xue, smiled faintly, as if he had expected it, and said quietly: "There are more comments from the members than what is written in this letter! The words are even worse!" Old Xue looked at Secretary Wang, but still did not speak, waiting for his final statement.Secretary Wang took off his legs and feet from the stove, walked into the middle of the room, raised his face and asked, "How many tickets did I give you?" "Ten." "What about the rest?" "Twelve." "A total of twenty-two tickets." Secretary Wang said, "more than half of the total quota! The remaining eighteen, how do you distribute and distribute them to the twenty-four brigades?" "It's really difficult!" Xue Zhiliang took the opportunity to express his difficulties, "If the masses ask, where did the twenty-two places go, I can't answer!" "Good answer!" Secretary Wang said sarcastically, "Let's say that Secretary Wang gave it to his old superior, and his old relatives walked through the back door!" "Then..." Lao Xue smiled embarrassedly. "Let me see the notes I wrote to you!" Secretary Wang said. Old Xue opened the drawer again, took out a stack of paper slips tied together with pins, and handed it to Secretary Wang. Secretary Wang received it in his hand, without looking at it, and threw it into the stove, a yellow flame rose, and said: "Forty places, all assigned to the brigade. Don't keep a single one from the commune." Seeing Secretary Wang's actions, Xue Zhiliang said in surprise, "Then you promised me..." "Let them scold me!" Secretary Wang resolutely said, "They scolded, but only a dozen people! When the commune members scolded, there were more than 10,000 people!" "Others are easy to talk about." Old Xue said, "What about Section Chief Sun? Our brick factory has brought his car back..." "It's good to drive back!" Secretary Wang said, "It's so difficult for our social enterprise to buy a car! Now someone delivers it to our door, isn't it good?" "I'm afraid Section Chief Sun won't give up..." "What can I do if I don't give up?" Secretary Wang got angry and knocked on the cigarette pot hard. "The cars produced by the country are already used to support agriculture. Let them barter and exchange cars for people. It can’t be allocated with the automobile department!” Hearing this, the usually cautious civil affairs cadres woke up from the mist and couldn't help laughing: "Ha! I understand! You set up a ecstasy array for them...coax him...ha!" "No! No!" Secretary Wang shook his head without smiling, and corrected him earnestly, "I did agree at the beginning! You took my thoughts too purely!" Xue Zhiliang restrained his smile, and his heart was shocked.He was moved by the leader's frankness in front of his subordinates: Well!This is the best opportunity for leaders to cover up their ideological stains!He didn't know what to say when he was a little distracted. "I have been in several teams recently, and I have heard a lot of discussions!" Secretary Wang said, "The members stared at us, wondering what we should do? If I take all the good and beneficial things, then in the future Members who still listen to me!" Xue Zhiliang's heart felt hot, and he nodded solemnly. "Our party has lost too many things!" Secretary Wang said regretfully, "Before the Cultural Revolution, how could there be so many messy ways of hell! If we can't stand on the principles of the party, how can the members follow you! If we can't Restoring the masses' trust in the party as soon as possible will affect our entire cause..." "Don't worry! This way, things will be easy!" Xue Zhiliang increased his confidence, "Quota distribution is very easy!" "Notify the committee members to hold a meeting!" Secretary Wang said. "Okay!" Lao Xue lay down on the table and spread out a stack of forms, "I'll make a plan and go." Lao Xue filled in the names of the brigades one by one in the form, and filled in the assigned numbers.When he raised his head and was about to go out to inform the members of the party committee, he saw Secretary Wang leaning on the bedside quilt and falling asleep.Cotton shoes covered with yellow mud were placed on the stove, steaming.He was so tired that he was snoring softly. Xue Zhiliang took his hands and feet lightly, took his overcoat, covered the leader's body, tiptoed out the door, closed the door, relaxed and happy, and ran to inform other committee members.
