Chapter 3 Mayor (3)

Another official letter, another phone call, and all the people who should arrive have arrived.In fact, this is not the case, everyone can get there, unless one of them suffers from natural or man-made disasters.In those days, township cadres expected to hold such meetings, just like children expected to celebrate the New Year. What they said was: there is no taste in the mouth, so hold an on-site meeting. But this time the deputy mayor had other ideas, and he was in charge of the logistics of the meeting.He informed the director of the office that the new mayor is here, and he must have a new style of work, hold revolutionary meetings, and provide minimum standards for meeting meals.Compared with the stipulated funds, this expenditure is a big one, and the source is finally apportioned to the various subordinate units.The heads of the various units came and shared the results of this expenditure, and they were very happy because the reason was very good.The deputy mayor's reason for not increasing the expenditure this time is also very legitimate.The director of the office understood, but his heart was a little bit drummed: The deputy mayor's move is very good, obviously trying to destroy the new mayor's platform, but it makes you want to bite him, but you can't find a place to bite his teeth.

When the mayor listened to the report, he said, "If you want it, you have to do it like this."It doesn't sound like irony, but it seems to be playing in the middle of the game.The mayor later asked the rented inn to be returned, freed up the offices of the Town Revolutionary Committee to lay out hay, and let all the participants sleep on the floor in this old ancestral hall.There were not enough wing rooms, so the mayor himself brought the cadres of the Town Revolutionary Committee to sleep in the main room.Fortunately, the ancestral hall is quite large, and there were less than half a hundred people including the staff, barely able to squeeze in.Just eating and pulling some problems.After the ancestral hall became an organ of the Town Revolutionary Committee, a yard was added behind the house, and a canteen and toilets were built.In the past, it was mainly used by the people of the agency, but now that many people have been added at once, it is naturally difficult to meet the needs.The mayor said, revolutionize it, let it be more thorough.What's the big deal about such difficulties, urinating on the wall, shitting and eating, in batches.Women come first in everything.

Everyone found it fresh, but few complained.On the night of the report, a room full of men and women were laughing and joking, both meaty and vegetarian, making jokes constantly. The next day everyone's face changed.I don't know when, guard posts were set up outside the ancestral hall, and militiamen with live ammunition were not allowed to enter or leave alone.The few cranks in the room and the phone could not make a sound, obviously the line was cut off on purpose.You look at me, I look at you, I don't know what's going on.Just as they were about to make trouble, the mayor suddenly stood up from somewhere (he didn't know when he left the ancestral hall at night), followed by two militiamen with guns from Wugaowu University.He cleared his throat, lowered his voice and said, everyone, don't make a mess, don't blame me for being rude.Lao Tzu came to rule today.You guys, the Communist Party calls you to be cadres, if you don’t do a good thing, you are either picking up ashes or committing adultery.Throw the man out to use the water conservancy, and go to spoil his wife and daughter.I've been in town for a while, and I can't hide a single good thing you've done.This time I will let you explain yourself.It's okay to be honest.Whoever wants to lay an ambush, I will tear his bones apart.Now everyone is going to have breakfast, and after finishing eating, go back to each shop to write an explanation.Tell one to go out one by one.If you don't confess for a day, you are not allowed to leave the gate of this ancestral hall; if you don't confess for a lifetime, I will let him sit in prison.Don't want to bring a message, don't want to collude a confession.I sent guards two miles away, but no one could get through except birds and mice.

Over the years, everyone has never seen or done any inexplicable things.What you do to others, others will do to themselves.There is no reason to talk about it. When the mayor came, everyone heard that he had some background.It's not that he has done anything earth-shattering, but because the director of the county revolutionary committee values ​​him. The director of the county revolutionary committee was left behind from the military control unit after the "three combinations", and he was directly subordinate to the director of the newly established provincial revolutionary committee.That is to say, the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, but there is also a saying: "A good man does not suffer from immediate losses."

In less than three days, most people have written their confessions.During those three days, the entire ancestral hall was lifeless.The mayor sent militiamen, who took turns patrolling back and forth in front of each shop.In the main room and the wing room, there were only the rustling of grass and the scratching of the pen tip on the paper caused by a slight turbulence, occasionally coughing and sighing, and someone farting caused laughter, but stopped immediately. .Only at night did some people have nightmares, jumping up from the floor, howling ghosts and wolves.The militiaman on duty at night pulled the bolt of the gun with a clatter, and suppressed it again.

During the day, the mayor cleared a corner in the warehouse of the cafeteria, waiting for the people who came to deliver the accounts one by one.He didn't read it, let the person who explained it read it by himself.He closed his eyes and listened as he bent his chair.After the man finished reading, he opened his eyes and said, "Okay, the materials are here. You can go back and wait for processing." Three days later, only a few people from the Town Revolutionary Committee were left in the ancestral hall.The deputy mayor kept clenching his teeth, his face darkened, and he leaned back on his own floor, expressing the highest contempt with speechlessness.Neither the women's director nor the chief of staff moved.The mayor did not meet them face to face.On the morning of the fourth day, he ordered the militia to bring the woman director to the canteen warehouse.For a long time, he said nothing, closed his eyes, and concentrated on pulling his chair.The female director sat opposite him across the table, lowering her head and twisting the corners of her clothes.She hasn't washed and washed seriously these past few days, her hair is disheveled, and her complexion is sallow.The previous coquettish energy is not visible at all, like a frost-beaten vegetable.

The mayor finally spoke and said, "I don't want to ask anything else, I just want to ask you one thing. Once you held a women's meeting, talked about family planning, and mobilized everyone to go to the ring. Some people were worried that something would happen to the ring. I went to the ring, and nothing happened. You are a big girl, what are you doing in the ring?" The female director raised her head, stared at the mayor for a while, and suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".In the past few days, because of the deputy mayor's stubborn resistance, she has been holding on.Now, she couldn't bear it anymore.

The women's director then confessed her wrong facts.The Township Revolutionary Committee has no dormitory for cadres, and cadres whose families are not in the town have to sleep in the office overnight in the town. The female director does not have a family, so she can only live in the office of the town women's federation, with a curtain between the bed and the desk.The home of the deputy mayor is in the production brigade below the town.He seldom went back and built a bed in his office.When other cadres were not around, he closed the gate of the ancestral hall, and he and the female director became husband and wife.The female director was reluctant at first, but in the end she was trained by him, but it was not due to affection.He said that this is the best re-education for her...

The mayor interrupted her sobs and said, "You don't have to go into such detail, just write down what you just said without the preamble or the afterword." As soon as the women's director went out, the office director bumped in.He has been waiting outside the door for a long time.His feet trembled and he almost knelt down.The mayor asked him to sit, but he couldn't sit still after several times, and his buttocks were always stuck.His teeth chattered and he stammered begging the mayor to show his respect.He said he was timid and couldn't do anything.I was reckless once when I was young, and now I feel terrified when I think about it.He wrote down that rashness on paper as an explanation: At that time, he had just arrived in the town and was doing civil affairs work.Once.A newlywed couple who had a marriage certificate in his hand came to him and said that they had consummated the house for three days, but nothing happened.It was the first lunar month at that time, and many people in the town government hadn't come to work yet.At noon, he drank a lot of wine at a relative's house in the town, and his courage was numb.On a sudden whim, he said to the man, you stay here, I will check on your wife, and then took the woman into his dormitory.People at that time trusted the government cadres 100%.If you trust the cadres, you must also trust the government; if you trust the government, you must also trust the cadres.The man just waited obediently.The woman honestly asked him to check.His inspection method is very practical, that is, to do that thing again, which can be regarded as an experiment.After the test was over, he sweated profusely and brought the woman to the man, saying, no problem, it worked.A month later, the husband and wife actually brought a gift to thank him, saying that it really worked out as soon as they went back that time, and now they are pregnant.He blushed and dared not look at them again.He deserves to die. He took advantage of the trust of the revolutionary masses in the government.

The mayor patiently listened to the director of the office read his statement, stopped twisting the chair, opened his eyes, did not ask him to leave the statement on the table as he had done to those people before, but stretched out his hand to the director of the office across the table. He took the stack of papers from him, shook them like a fan, then took the lighter on the table, and lit the stack of papers.Tongues of fire licked upwards along the lower corner of the stack of papers, and flakes of burnt debris flew up like insects.He didn't let go until his fingers were almost burned, and watched the scraps of paper burnt up, shrunk into a ball, and floated up in a whirl. That's it."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the office director who had been wide open in fear. He had always wanted to kneel but failed, but now he knelt firmly with a "boom". The mayor smiled and said: "Okay, pay attention in the future, follow the route, not people." The chief of staff said, "I know, I know. You are the route." In the days to come, the mayor brought the big pile of instructions, and each unit went to implement them.Naturally, not every person in charge of the unit has the bad deeds of sneaking around, but these people have also scraped their brains and wrote some things that are usually lazy, delicious and lazy to make up for it. Door.The mayor took the method of dealing with the director of the office and added it, and burned everyone's materials in front of everyone.He said that what he wants is everyone's attitude and everyone's future work.As for the past account, it was written off. But there was one person he didn't let go.He reported the account of the women's director to the County Revolutionary Committee as a report.All over the country are implementing the newly issued highest instructions, inspecting the work of educated youth, and waiting for a model.The deputy mayor just hit the muzzle of the gun, accused him of raping a female educated youth, arrested him and sentenced him to a severe sentence.According to the wishes of the director of the County Revolutionary Committee, he will be beheaded.At any rate, the deputy mayor had some roots in the county, and many people took the risk of interceding to save their lives. Naturally, the female director couldn't stay in the town, so she went back to the city to find a worker to marry, and then transferred to her husband's brick and tile factory.
