Chapter 20 Chapter Nineteen

The enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held as scheduled, focusing on discussing the issue of the bus reform plan.In addition to the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the top leaders of the National People's Congress, the Political Consultative Conference, the Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, the plan designer's research office, the government secretariat, the Finance Bureau and the head of the agency affairs management office attended the meeting as nonvoting delegates. The meeting was presided over by the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Hong Zhonghua. Hong Zhonghua was not satisfied with the two reform plans in his heart. He thought that one was too left and the other was too right. After much deliberation, he could not find a compromise and effective one A better way is to bring these two proposals that embody the two extremes of the bus reform plan to the meeting for discussion.The bottom line in his heart is: No matter which plan is adopted, a plan must be passed. If it is passed, it is easy to explain to the higher-ups. During the specific implementation process, if there are any problems, it can be adjusted and corrected at any time.As the common saying goes: Having something is better than nothing.

At the meeting, the Director of the Finance Bureau explained their reform plan and ideas to the Standing Committee. In advance, both sets of plans had been printed and distributed to the participants for review, so the Director of the Finance Bureau did not repeat the content of the plan, mainly for the bus reform designed in the plan. Afterwards, some supplementary explanations were given to the regulations on how officials commute to and from get off work and go out on official business.The plan put forward by the director of the Finance Bureau and the office affairs management is relatively thorough, that is, all leading cadres will no longer be equipped with special cars, and the vehicle allocation will not be set according to the number of positions. Transportation to and from get off work shall be settled by oneself.All business trips out of the urban area are not allowed to take a special car, but must take public transportation.The existing buses of all government agencies will be compressed by one-third, and the compressed buses will be sealed up. From now on, the renewal of buses in Tongzhou City will be stopped within three years, and the vehicles that need to be updated due to work will be replaced from the sealed buses. , completely change the habit of cadres to use public cars as a kind of treatment, and make public cars truly official vehicles...

The basic principle of the bus reform plan submitted by the Research Office and the Secretariat is to reduce the number of existing buses and change the cadres’ habit of treating public cars as treatment. To all civil servants, including the staff of public institutions with full financial allocations, transportation subsidies are issued according to their job levels, with a maximum of 3,000 yuan, such as Hong Zhonghua, Wan Lusheng and other leaders of the municipal leadership team, and 2,000 yuan for the deputies of the five sets of municipal teams Five hundred yuan, two thousand yuan for the department level, fifteen hundred yuan for the deputy department level, one thousand yuan for the department level, eight hundred yuan for the sub-section level, five hundred yuan for ordinary staff, and so on.What Hua Sanba said is: Although the bus should not be paid, but taking the bus is still necessary for official business. Now that the bus is compressed, many things that should be handled by the bus in the past can no longer be done by the bus. It is necessary for the cadres to solve the traffic problem by themselves. This burden should not be It is borne by the cadres themselves, so transportation subsidies should be issued.

After the two plans are explained, there will be a quiet time as usual. At this time, no one will be the first to express their support for which plan. Everyone is waiting to see Hong Zhonghua's attitude, and then decide on Hong Zhonghua according to his actual interests. Hua's attitude is to actively follow up or express different opinions in the most appropriate way possible. Hong Zhonghua has presided over too many standing committee meetings, and he is well aware of this situation. If he is asked to express his position at today's meeting, he will definitely support the plan of the Finance Bureau, just for the purpose of giving him three months a month. He dare not take the transportation subsidy of 1,000 yuan.If they express their support for Hua Sanba's plan, no matter whether they have that idea or not, people must think in their hearts: Hong Zhonghua is giving himself a salary increase again in disguise to make money.Hong Zhonghua hoped that everyone would support the reform plan proposed by the Bureau of Finance as he did, because, in the final analysis, the accurate name of the bus should be the official car, not the salary mark of the cadres.Besides, if the cadres are really given car reform transportation fees, the common people will definitely scold them, and whether the finances can support it is also a big unknown.

The venue was boring, embarrassingly boring, and annoyingly boring.Hong Zhonghua couldn't take it anymore, so he had to tactfully express his opinion: "I personally think that the bus reform is not just an economic issue to curb the flood of bus and reduce the cost of bus fare, but also involves the rectification of bus corruption and the elimination of cadres. The political issue of privilege. Therefore, on the issue of bus reform, we must be firm and cautious. We must look at this issue from the political commanding heights. If we reduce the bus here, and give money to the cadres there, and There are so many at once, put yourself in the shoes and think about it, if we were the people, what would we think in our hearts..."

Before he finished speaking, Wan Lusheng immediately expressed his support: "That is, I agree with Secretary Hong's opinion. The transportation subsidy is too high, too high. The common people will definitely scold their mothers if they know it. Let me talk about it. Bus reform Now, I can’t guarantee that I won’t use the bus. In fact, I still have to use the bus. In turn, I will be paid more than 3,000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to doubling my salary all at once. It’s hard to convince people. what……" Some other leaders also expressed their opinions: "That is, the subsidy is too high, and it is difficult to explain it to the common people."

Such a statement made Hong Zhonghua dumbfounded. Obviously, these leaders are more inclined to the bus reform plan proposed by Hua Sanba and the others. The bus can be reduced, but it needs to be paid.The only difference is that the subsidy is too high, sorry. The Finance Director grumbled with a straight face: "The finance department has no money." But no one listened to his words at all. The director of the National People's Congress first stated: "I think the plan proposed by the research office and the secretariat is more reasonable. You can't say that there are no private affairs in the car, but most of them are for work, even if they go to and from work. What do you do when you take the bus to and from get off work? Isn’t it just doing work? You can’t let the cadres pay for the transportation expenses incurred by doing work? If so, who will do work in the future?”

The opinion of the director of the National People's Congress was supported by the participants. Hong Zhonghua suddenly realized that the participants were all bus owners. The results speak for themselves.The chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference asked Wan Lusheng half-jokingly: "Mayor Wan, you said that the subsidy is too high. I agree. You can suppress it. How much do you think is reasonable? How much can you pay for the mayor's pocket?" Wan Lusheng giggled and said, "Have a half when you meet each other. Hua Sanba's plan is to extort the price. I'll pay you back on the spot. How about cutting half at the waist? How about cutting half at the waist?"

Everyone agreed: "Yes, yes, cadres and ordinary people will be able to explain it to cutting in half." Wan Lusheng asked Hong Zhonghua: "Secretary Hong, what's your opinion?" Hong Zhonghua had no choice but to say: "Well, let's vote on it. This is a very serious issue. I hope everyone can be more serious." The director of the National People's Congress contradicted awkwardly: "We are all serious, who dare not be serious at the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee?" Hong Zhonghua didn't pay attention to him. This person is old enough to work in half a year, and he will be transferred home and die. For a person like him, the next signpost of life is the big chimney of the crematorium, so it is inevitable that he will be a bit lost at the end of the day. And frustrated, since this year, I have stopped working and focused on traveling and having fun.Even when he is doing work, he often does some awkward things and says some presumptuous words. It seems that all the problems he encounters at his age are caused by the party and the government. It is comfortable to pinch with everyone.

Hong Zhonghua didn't even look at the director of the National People's Congress, and said according to his own thinking: "Let's vote by raising your hands. Today is an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee. Leaders and comrades who are not members of the Standing Committee should also express their attitude. Agree with the Financial Bureau and the Agency Affairs Management Office. Hands up for reform proposals..." No one raised their hands to agree with this plan. Everyone is in the circle and has the same interests. If anyone agrees with this plan, he will become a public enemy of officials, and no one will be stupid to do such things that harm others and themselves.

"Please raise your hand if you agree with the policy research office and the secretariat's bus reform plan..." Everyone raised their hands in unison, and Wan Lusheng didn't stay idle with his hands raised: "I insist on my opinion, the subsidy amount should be cut in half, otherwise I don't agree with this plan." Everyone also imitated him and said: "Yes, yes, the amount of subsidy is too high, cut it in half, cut it in half." The final result of the bus reform plan is also expected. Those who are discussing the reform here will continue to take the bus after the reform plan is implemented, and it will also increase their income. Why not do it? Only the Secretary of Finance did not raise his hand twice, neither against nor in favor.Hong Zhonghua specifically asked him: "What's your opinion?" "My opinion is that reform package that we put forward, and there is no other opinion other than that," the treasurer said. Hong Zhonghua was not satisfied with this result. Although he estimated in advance that the reform plan of the Finance Bureau was unlikely to be passed at the meeting, he successfully passed the reform plan of Hua Sanba and their research office in this way. To his regret, this plan actually affirmed a proposition beyond the plan: riding a bus is a privilege that cadres should enjoy, and if this privilege is abolished, the state will have to spend money to compensate cadres for their loss of privilege.The only consolation is that no matter whether the plan to be implemented is satisfactory or not, it is better than nothing, and it can always be confessed to Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee.Although he could confess to Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee, Hong Zhonghua couldn't be happy at all. His heart was heavy, as if his chest was not filled with heart, liver and lungs, but a pile of rusty iron filings. On the way home from get off work, Hong Zhonghua was always depressed, and Sima didn't dare to speak at this time, and used silence to accompany the silence of the municipal party committee secretary.Looking at the rolling traffic outside the window, Hong Zhonghua suddenly thought of Li Guixiang's mother and daughter when passing by the bus station, so he asked Sima: "Did you see the lesbians we sent to the hospital that day?" Sima replied, "See you." Hong Zhonghua asked: "How is the situation?" Sima replied: "Okay, it's all right, I helped her find a job as a transportation coordinator." Hong Zhonghua: "Well, very good." Sima said, "It's at the east street we pass by every day. You may not have noticed." Hong Zhonghua: "Well, maybe I didn't pay attention." Sima cautiously asked Hong Zhonghua tentatively: "Secretary Hong, I don't think you are very happy today." Hong Zhonghua sighed: "I'm not unhappy, just a little helpless, feeling powerless, like a person falling into a whirlpool, I don't know how to use all my strength, and I can't get out no matter how hard I throw." Sima didn't say a word, Hong Zhonghua turned to him and asked him: "What's wrong with you? Are you not happy?" Sima grinned: "No, I was thinking, Secretary Hong, you are the leader, why are you still helpless?" Hong Zhonghua had another chance to express his feelings: "It used to be said that we are going to make screws, but since we have made screws, we can only be used as screws and rotate with the rotation of the machine. screw, it is more difficult to play any role." Sima didn't understand Hong Zhonghua's words, so he couldn't intervene, so he had no choice but to concentrate on driving without saying anything.When passing Dongjiekou, the red light came on, and Sima stopped the car. Sima saw Li Guixiang, who was leading a group of elementary school students to cross the road. Sima wanted to tell Hong Zhonghua, but he looked behind from the rearview mirror. After a glance, Hong Zhonghua's face was gloomy, and Sima swallowed the sentence: "Secretary Hong, isn't that Li Guixiang?" Che Jilu fell into a state of despondency. The people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came to talk to him that day, and after three or two twitches, they turned him upside down.At the end of the conversation, the Commission for Discipline Inspection did not let him perform the procedure of signing the record of the conversation. In order to show a good attitude, Che Jilu offered to sign the record. The section chief of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who had not spoken told him that there was no need to sign. , now there are recordings as well as recordings, and this is not a judicial investigation.The Disciplinary Commission task force disarmed Che Yulu and surrendered with three punches and two kicks, so they stopped embarrassing him. They didn't detain him, and they didn't directly slap the rules like Captain Wang of the traffic police team. Instead, they asked him to write a letter after returning home The "situation explanation" materials were handed over to Guo Xiaomei, who forwarded them to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.The so-called "situation explanation" material is a polite way of saying that he is actually asked to write a confession material and hand it over to Guo Xiaomei. When Che Jilu came to his office, all thoughts were lost and his soul was lost.He doesn't know if he has a good attitude today. If he has a good attitude, will the Commission for Discipline Inspection be more lenient in dealing with this matter? The handling is for sure, but if he can keep his position, let him give it to the leader of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He did a hundred bangs, but unfortunately, the leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission probably wouldn't accept his one hundred bangs. Che Jilu forced himself to calm down, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write confession materials.But he couldn't write a word, his mind was like a cauldron boiling asphalt, it was so dark and sticky that he couldn't think at all.For the same fact, different narrative methods will give people different impressions and conclusions.The only thing Che Jilu can do now is to try to make people feel that he has no responsibility without violating the facts, and that some of the mistakes that happened were just a moment of confusion, so that people can understand, understand, and tolerate his misunderstanding.In the end, it can be lighter and wider when handling.He would be thankful if he could retain his position level and give some administrative warnings, demerits, and notification of criticism.Based on the above goals, writing such confession materials requires a clear mind, intelligent analysis and judgment, and excellent writing skills.Che Jilu's mind is confused now, how can he do that, just the title "About my car accident and some facts after the car accident", he wrote and tore up a dozen times, crumpling up a waste manuscript Like white flowers all over the ground, his office was decorated as if he had just finished a memorial service. It was already past get off work time, and the phone rang, and Che Rulu's wife urged him if he would go home for dinner, Che Rulu was in a very bad mood, and said, "I have something to do, I won't call back." She pressed the phone.Immediately after, his wife called again, and Che Jilu saw that the number displayed on the phone was his wife's number, so he simply unplugged the phone line and turned off the phone.Che Jilu looked at his watch, it was already half past seven, more than an hour after off-duty time, no wonder his wife would call to find him. Suddenly the door of the office was knocked loudly, the wheels of the car jumped in shock, and a thought even flashed across his mind: Could it be that the Public Security Bureau arrested him as a traffic accident suspect?This thought made Che Lulu's legs go weak again: "Who, who..." "Damn, what are you doing? Thinking behind closed doors or planning to commit suicide?" When Che Jilu heard the word "I rely on", he breathed a sigh of relief, and then cursed angrily: "I rely on you, you also joined in the fun to bully me." Saying that, he went to open the door, and the door appeared The narrow face with the exclamation mark and the two exclamation marks on it. "Why did you come here?" Che Jilu asked. The exclamation point entered the door and saw the balls of paper all over the floor, and praised him happily: "Damn, isn't it good, is your attitude serious? You wrote so much, why did you throw it away?" He bent down and picked up one, opened it to read Look: "Damn it, why just say a word?" Che Jilu was upset, and asked again in a blunt tone: "Why did you come here?" The exclamation point ignored him, and took out his mobile phone to make a call: "Hey, it's okay, shit, I'm in the office, writing materials, afraid of disturbing, it's okay, what can he do? Can you still lose it? You are also really, it’s okay.” The exclamation mark put up the phone, and Che Jilu also understood why he came to the office to look for him at this time: the voice on the other end of the phone was Che Jilu's wife, it must be the wife who was worried about Che Jilu, found her brother-in-law exclamation mark, and entrusted exclamation mark to run Came here to investigate. Che Lulu returned to his seat, and the exclamation mark leaned over to look at the paper in front of him, on which was still the same title: "About my car accident and some facts after the car accident". The exclamation mark said: "Damn it, you are really good at it, and you wrote these few words after being bored for half the night?" Che Jilu sighed and said, "It can't be done, my mind is in a mess and I can't think of anything." The exclamation point confirmed his own judgment: "The Commission for Discipline Inspection is looking for you officially? Damn, I'm in trouble." Che Jilu was dejected: "Well, I looked for it this afternoon." Exclamation mark: "You admit it? Damn, it's over." Che Jilu: "Is it okay if you don't admit it? People figured it out, called Hulu over, and Hulu sold me in front of my face with two words, and didn't even give me a chance to take the initiative to explain the problem .” The exclamation mark took a breath of air: "Damn, how can this be good? I met Shan Liren that day, and I turned a corner to inquire about your affairs, but he avoided talking about it. I thought this matter might not be good. , I didn't expect it to be so fast." Che Jilu: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Exclamation mark: "Damn, I told you that you have to listen. Now I say this again, it's an afterthought. How did I persuade you? I asked you to take the initiative to explain clearly to the Discipline Inspection Commission and confess to you. Not only did you not listen, but you were also annoyed. Me, as if I was going to harm you, it's really hard to say, and the medicine is bitter." When he heard the exclamation point saying that he had met a single person who had inquired about him, Che Jilu flickered in his heart, as if a window had suddenly opened, yes, guarding this brother-in-law who had a lot of contacts and had people on top, he should still have a little The hope of survival, the black-faced smoker Shanli can ignore the exclamation point, but he will not ignore the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee behind the exclamation point, right?Thinking of this, the wheel was like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a straw that he thought could save his life. He grabbed the shoulder of the exclamation mark and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, there is still time, hurry up and find a way, there is still time." The exclamation mark made his sudden nervousness go awry: "Damn, what are you doing? If you have something to say, don't move, it's scary." The wheel of the cart picked up the paper on the table three times and two times, and walked outside with the exclamation point: "Come on, don't delay eating if there is no way, and talk while eating." The exclamation mark saw that his mood suddenly took a 180-degree turn. He was surprised and felt that no matter what, a sunny day is better than a sandstorm. At this time, it is best to let him do the general things, so I won’t say more , followed the wheel and left the office. It's already past the off-duty time, and the corridor is quiet. The footsteps of the two people echoed in the corridor, and the dim light left shadows in the corridor. Even though it was the two of them, the exclamation mark still felt a little uneasy: "Damn, why does your building feel eerie..." Before the exclamation point finished speaking, a person came out from the entrance of the corridor without a sound, and stood between the two of them. The exclamation point was startled, Instinctively hid behind the wheel: "I rely on..." Che Lulu was calmer than him, and said coldly to the visitor: "What are you doing?" The exclamation mark was also recognized at this time, and the one in front of them was the chauffeur Hulu with the wheels. Calabash murmured: "I'm waiting for the bus bureau, where are you going? I'll see you off." It was already past eight o'clock, what Che Jilu didn't expect was that Hulu was still waiting for him.Hulu confessed the truth of the accident in front of the Disciplinary Committee, which put Che Yulu in an embarrassing situation of lying to his face, forcing him to confess his problems honestly. At that time, Che Jilu wanted to bite Hulu hard.However, after thinking about it calmly, even if Hulu was dishonest at the time, according to the attitude of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, this threshold must not be crossed. No more.Thinking in another way, as a car driver who is an ordinary worker, what can he do in that situation?I shouldn't, I shouldn't, what I really shouldn't be is that I shouldn't force the gourd to jack up the tank for me after a car accident, and it made things even more out of control.After thinking this through, Che Jilu's attitude softened: "Have you eaten yet?" Gourd said: "Not yet, I'll eat after I send you back. It's okay, I'm not hungry." The exclamation point seized the opportunity to make mud in the middle: "Eat it together if you haven't eaten it, I'll accompany you." Che Lulu eats with the exclamation point because he wants to talk to him, but when the exclamation point is said, it is not easy to refuse in front of the gourd, so he can only say: "You didn't eat it, I didn't eat it, let's eat together .” Hulu has been the leading driver for so many years, and his ability to read his words and look at his eyes is no worse than that of Wang Qingqing, who is the head of the reception office. When he sees the wheels of the car and the exclamation mark together, he knows that they have something to say, so he quickly declined: "No, my wife I'm done cooking, I'll go back and eat." Hulu was polite, and Che Rulu followed suit: "That's fine, you can go home." The exclamation mark said: "Give me the car keys, and I'll send him back after dinner." Hulu just had bad luck because he handed over the car to Che Lulu, now the exclamation point asked him for the car keys, he hesitated: "This, this..." Exclamation mark: "Don't do this, I came here by bicycle just now, and I threw the bicycle here tonight. I will send him to work and pick up the bicycle tomorrow morning, and I will return the bicycle to you. What's wrong? I'm driving, don't you?" rest assured?" Hulu suddenly thought that the exclamation point in front of him was the chief driver of the city hall, let alone the car of his small Civil Affairs Bureau, even the car of the secretary of the mayor would still drive when it should be driven, so he took out the car key and put the key on it. Handed an exclamation point. The three of them walked downstairs together. On the way, Hulu murmured an apology to Che Jilu: "I'm really sorry for the car bureau. I was really scared today, and I sold you out. I'm really not a good person. Can you tell me?" Can't forgive me?" Che Jilu said: "Forget it, don't mention this matter, let's understand each other, it's okay, it's already like this, don't think so much, as long as I don't dismiss my job, you can still drive for me, if I dismiss my job, then no solution anymore." The exclamation mark also said: "Hulu, don't think about it. Although I knew you in the past, I didn't have much contact with you. After all, we are all coachmen, belonging to the working people. We can do whatever the leader tells us to do. This matter is fundamentally wrong. Blame you, blame my brother-in-law, what should I do, Disciplinary Committee, many high-ranking officials are afraid, let alone you as a small driver. It’s okay, my brother-in-law is fundamentally a good person, Good people make mistakes, understand, understand." Calabash walked more and more slowly, and suddenly sat on the stairs holding his head and sobbing, Che Lulu couldn't bear to see him like this, and tried to persuade him, Exclamation mark was older than him in dealing with people, so he pulled him away: "Don't worry, let After Hulu cried for a while, he felt better." That night, Che Jilu and the exclamation mark did not go to the New York Entertainment City to be chic, neither of them had that kind of chicness anymore.Coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the exclamation mark drove the car all the way to the river, and found a fisherman’s stall. After eating, the exclamation mark ordered a local specialty braised river fish, one fried rice, and two bottles of beer for myself. I ordered a salted peanut and drank beer to accompany the car. During the meal, Che Yulu shyly asked for an exclamation point and then used his extensive network to help him get through the relationship. At this time, there is still a chance to fight for a lighter treatment. If he can keep his position, he will be given administrative sanctions such as demerit and warning etc., then he will never forget the benefits of the exclamation mark in his whole life: "In my whole life, I have worked hard and steadfastly, and I have never been greedy for money or lustful. I never thought that I would fall so badly in this matter Come on, if you don't help me at this time, my whole life will be in vain. If it doesn't work out, maybe I won't even be able to keep my public job. It's too late to say anything, can you help me?" The exclamation marks look at his bleak words, how can he say that he can't help him in this situation?I had no choice but to promise: "Don't worry, if I don't help you, who will help you? If it doesn't work, go to the higher-ups and ask the higher-ups to tell you. You have to be good yourself, and write a review when it's time to write a review. At this time, you can't do it anymore." Hardened." When Che Jilu heard the exclamation mark, he agreed to help him, thinking that the brother of Deputy Director Zhang of the Finance Bureau had an exclamation point to help, and said that he would become the director. Deputy Secretary Huang of the Provincial Party Committee is just a one-sentence matter. If the exclamation point can really use the old relationship with Deputy Secretary Huang to say hello to him and deal with it lightly, this hurdle will be passed easily. . Thinking of this, he hurriedly made the matter more serious: "Can you take me to the province to see Secretary Huang in a few days, I will report my situation to him in person, I understand what to do , you just need to show me a way." The exclamation mark felt in his heart that Secretary Huang might not be able to take care of this matter. How could a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee say such kind words for the people below?Unless Che Rulu is his son, son-in-law or other close relationship.But seeing Che Jilu's eagerness, he couldn't say any negative words, so he agreed.Hearing the exclamation mark, Che Jilu promised to take him to Secretary Huang to intercede, and he felt a lot more relieved. Just now, he felt that his chest was congested and he didn't want to eat anything. Exclamation point drank a bottle of beer. Near Sanshun Beach, there is a fisherman's fish farming base, and the river is full of rafts of fisherman's fish.According to the construction plan of Sanshuntan Development Zone, the fish rafts of these riverfish farmers will be dismantled and a transportation wharf will be built to meet the transportation needs of enterprises based in the development zone.To dismantle the fish rafts, you have to compensate the fishermen. The fishermen took the opportunity to demand high prices from the city government. of river fish.The purchase price is twice as high as the market price. It is impossible for the river fish to be sold in the market, so the city government adopts the method of government subsidies, and civil servants eat fish. The staff of the city's administrative and public institutions must share the fish, and then Sixty percent of the market price is deducted from wages, and the shortfall is subsidized by the government to fishermen.In this way, not only the fishermen's compensation requirements are met, but the government spends a lot less in compensation costs, and the staff of the government's administrative institutions can also eat fresh river fish that is 40% cheaper than the market price. This good way of killing three birds with one stone was proposed by the Director of the Finance Bureau. Although a few cadres have some opinions on the government’s development and forcing civil servants to pay for fish, they have little opinion and dare not mention it on the table. Therefore, in recent days, Tongzhou City Government agencies and public institutions at all levels have become fish markets, and every household divides the fish. When they enter Tongzhou City, there is a fishy smell everywhere. Some people joked that at this stage, Tongzhou civil servants and public institutions The cadres have achieved unprecedented unity, belching, farting, and defecation all smell the same: Jiangyu. Although Sima was not a civil servant, he was a public servant of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. According to the regulations, he was also given a dozen catties of river fish.In the past, when the benefits were distributed, Sima was a bachelor, and he had to cook and eat food that he couldn't cook or eat, so he gave it to the family members in the team.Sima kept some of the food that could be eaten directly, and gave the rest to others.Now that we have Li Guixiang and Xiaoyan, Sima will no longer share the welfare with others, but will send it directly to Li Guixiang. Li Guixiang is ready and asks him to eat together.The river fish were all packed in ready-made foam plastic boxes and chilled in ice. The weather was hot and they couldn't keep them. So after Sima sent Hong Zhonghua home, he went directly to Li Guixiang's house to deliver the river fish. On the way, Sima was still worrying about Li Guixiang. Their house didn't have a refrigerator, and they couldn't finish eating more than ten catties of fish at once. What should they do with the rest?Sima came to Li Guixiang's house with the ice-cold anchovy plastic foam box in his arms. Xiaoyan was doing her homework and waiting for dinner, and Li Guixiang was busy in the kitchen.Seeing Sima put down the pen in his hand, Xiaoyan asked, "Uncle, did you bring fish to our house? How do you know we have a refrigerator?" Sima asked Xiaoyan back: "How do you know that I sent fish?" Xiaoyan sniffled: "It smells." Sima laughed, "Do you have a dog's nose or a cat's nose? Why can you smell it all at once?" Xiaoyan said: "Do you still need a cat's nose and a dog's nose? You can smell it if you have a nose. Thanks to our family buying a refrigerator for such a strong smell, otherwise it will go bad immediately if you can't finish it." When Sima heard that their family bought a refrigerator, he was very happy: "Your family bought a refrigerator? It's just right, put the fish in it." Xiaoyan proudly told Sima: "My mother bought an old refrigerator, but the cooling is not bad, come and have a look." At this time, Sima also saw that there was indeed a dark green refrigerator leaning against the wall, it was quite large, and it was humming to cool down.Sima opened the door of the refrigerator, and a gust of cold air rushed in. Sure enough, the cooling effect was not bad.Sima put the fish he brought into the freezer. When Li Guixiang heard that Sima was coming, she came out of the kitchen and greeted beamingly: "Sima is here? How about this refrigerator?" Sima said: "It's pretty good. I've seen it. The refrigeration is not bad, but it's a bit noisy. Our unit divides the fish, and I have no place to do it as a bachelor, so I brought it here for you. Sister, it seems that you have recently earned a lot of money. Not bad, I bought a refrigerator, and this refrigerator looks quite new." Xiaoyan rushed to talk: "My mother got rich recently. She earned a bonus of 2,000 yuan. Not only did she buy an old refrigerator, but she also bought an old bicycle." Sima asked Li Guixiang: "Sister, don't you have a bicycle? Why did you buy another one? For Xiaoyan?" Li Guixiang told the story of the winner who lost the car. Sima said: "Your family should have had a refrigerator long ago, otherwise the food would be spoiled in hot summer, and it would be a waste to throw it away." Xiaoyan interrupted again: "My mother had a bad stomach last time and had to wear diapers to work, so she learned from the painful experience and made up her mind to buy this refrigerator. Of course, it's also thanks to the money sent to her." Bonus, without that bonus, my mother would not be willing to buy a refrigerator even if she had diarrhea a few times." Li Guixiang was happy, and didn't mind Xiaoyan's slick teasing. She asked Sima if he had eaten. Jiang Yu said to Sima: "That's just right, I'm going to make ginger fish now, you wait." Then he ran back to the kitchen to make fish. Sima followed into the kitchen and said, "Aren't you going to work soon? I'll come." Li Guixiang said: "You don't know how to cook fish. You don't miss work. The cleaning work of the Minolta Building is basically contracted. It doesn't matter if you go early or late, as long as you finish the job." Li Guixiang rushed to Sima while cleaning the fish: "You go out to rest and watch TV. The kitchen is small and hot. I'll be fine soon." Sima retreated from the kitchen, Xiaoyan waved to him, Sima leaned over and asked her, "What's the matter?" Xiaoyan whispered: "You turn on the TV and put it on the children's program on CCTV." Sima didn't accept her orders: "Do your homework well and don't even think about watching TV." Xiaoyan: "Watching TV while doing homework to broaden your mind, you don't understand. By the way, my mother has become popular recently, and the TV station has to interview her. My mother became a star when she was on TV. I just don't know what to do. Is there any help in increasing income.” Sima especially liked the popularity of Xiaoyan when she spoke, and said to Xiaoyan: "How can it be unhelpful? Didn't they already give out a bonus of 2,000 yuan?" Xiaoyan said: "It's a one-time bonus. It would be great if I could get a bonus of 2,000 yuan every month." Sima laughed, and shouted to the kitchen: "Sister Li, Xiaoyan wants you to give a bonus of 2,000 yuan every month." Li Guixiang said in the kitchen: "Daydreaming." Xiaoyan muttered: "It's better to have a dream than no dream." Sima was afraid that turning on the TV would affect Xiaoyan's homework, so he didn't turn it on. He took the copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" he bought for Xiaoyan and started watching it. Li Guixiang cooked the fish and added a plate of fried shredded pork with kohlrabi, and called Sima and Xiaoyan to serve the meal.Today's meal is relatively rich, including shredded ginger fish, shredded potatoes, and fried pork with kohlrabi.吃饭的时候，司马达问李桂香：“我听小燕说电视台要采访你？” 李桂香给司马达夹了一筷头鱼：“我也不知道咋回事儿，闹得我晕头转向，稀里糊涂就被选了个最佳交通协理员，还说是市民不记名投票选的，我一点都不知道。今天交管科的张科长给我打电话，说已经确定了，这几天电视台要到班上采访我，还要拍我在班上的工作情况，哎，你说我到时候该说啥？” 司马达还没顾上说，小燕抢着说：“你就说你是下岗工人，既要吃饭又要供女儿读书上学，家庭生活非常困难，感谢政府感谢党，让你有了这样一个为人民服务的机会，也给了你一个谋生的机会，你一定要继续努力做好工作，不辜负党和政府对你的关心帮助等等等等，这些话还不会说？” 司马达笑着说：“小燕说得好，就照小燕教你的说。” 李桂香马上给小燕布置任务：“那好，就照小燕的说，小燕写完作业给我把刚才那些话写下来，我抽空背下来，省得到时候磕磕巴巴的丢人现眼。” 小燕受到鼓励情绪极佳，满口答应着：“没问题，我给你写下来，写得比说得更好，你就等着上电视吧。” 这顿饭吃得非常高兴，李桂香吃过饭扔下饭碗就跑了，她还要到美能达打扫卫生。小燕说她要给她妈写采访讲话稿，意思很明确：洗锅刷碗的任务交给司马达了。小燕母女俩的心情也感染了司马达，司马达也觉得今天特别高兴，他边刷碗边想，可能穷人更容易得到满足，所以也就更容易获得幸福感。就像李桂香娘俩，不过就是得到了两千块钱的奖金，用小燕的话说又新买了一台旧电冰箱，在许多人眼里这根本就是不值得一提的小事儿，肯定也激不起任何兴奋点。可是小燕母女俩的生活却好像一下子就变得生动活泛了很多，家里充满了幸福、和谐的气氛。司马达相信，就凭李桂香的吃苦耐劳，凭小燕的聪明努力，只要不出意外，这母女俩一定会有更加光明幸福的生活。 碗洗好了，小燕替李桂香写的采访稿也写好了，拿给司马达看，司马达看了看，果然比刚才小燕口头说得更加精彩，司马达表扬了小燕：“好，真得不错，记着啊，电视台什么时候播，一定要提前告诉我，亲眼看看你妈在电视上表现怎么样，够不够明星的标准。” 他们俩此时谁都绝对没有想到，他们永远也看不到李桂香接受电视台采访时候的样子了，电视台后来的确播放了关于李桂香的新闻，却不是采访最佳交通协理员李桂香，而是一幕惨剧的主角李桂香…… 万鲁生老婆李芳的案子侦查进展突破了瓶颈之后，进展非常顺利，检察机关已经开始准备公诉材料，相关部门也开始想方设法追缴流向国外的赃款。这个案子至此已经基本结束，就等着检察机关向法院提起公诉。 万鲁生最近的主要精力放到了摆脱李芳的拖累上，好在经过侦查，没有任何证据可以证明万鲁生牵涉进了这桩案子，李芳倒也够意思，尽管万鲁生已经向她提出了协议离婚的要求，她也没有乱扯乱咬，一口咬定万鲁生根本不知情。根据有关法律规定，李芳羁押案件审理期间，犯罪嫌疑人是不准许会客的。万鲁生要跟她离婚，委托的律师就必须跟她会面，由她在离婚协议书上签字才行。为此，万鲁生不得不硬着头皮找了洪钟华，洪钟华又找了单立人，单立人又找了公安局长，绕了这么大一个弯子之后，公安局长特批，看守所才允许万鲁生委托的律师跟李芳见了面。其实作为市长他完全可以直接让公安局长安排他的律师跟李芳会面，之所以要绕这么大一个弯子，一来是向别人表示，自己对李芳的问题做到了公事公办、秉公守法；二来做出一个明确的姿态：他确实下了决心要跟腐败分子李芳一刀两断；三来是向别人通告：自己跟李芳的事情确实毫无瓜葛。 李芳倒也干脆，见到万鲁生委托的律师之后，二话不说就在离婚协议书上签了字，于是万鲁生顺利实现了自己跟李芳划清界限的目标，重新回到了未婚原生态。 办清楚了这件事情，万鲁生大大松了一口气，正在这个时候，市财政局使出了吃奶的力气，拆东墙补西墙成功，东拼西凑了五百万偿还三顺滩拆迁户的补偿金，虽然还差了一大块，可是终究算是有个起码的交待了，于是万鲁生会同洪钟华，一起到三顺滩拆迁户的驻地，举行了轰轰烈烈的拆迁户补偿金发放仪式，电视、报纸、广播一起大吹特吹了一番。洪钟华迫不及待地向省委张书记报告好消息，张书记肯定了他们的成绩，同时也要求他们竭尽全力彻底解决三顺滩拆迁户的补偿金和安置房建设问题，还要周密考虑三顺滩农业户的就业安置问题，不能让三顺滩的群众为经济建设做出了牺牲、付出了代价之后，却居无定所、失地失业，生活陷于困境。对于张书记的指示，洪钟华只能连连答应。其实，三顺滩居民的工作安置问题，铜州市委市政府当初就已经充分考虑了，明确规定：进驻三顺滩的各家企业在享受各种优惠政策的同时，也要承担一项社会责任：招工的时候，优先招聘三顺滩拆迁户的劳动力。平心而论，铜州市委市政府绝对不是有意罔顾三顺滩居民的切身利益，而是心有余而力不足，财政开销太大了，入不敷出没办法。 张书记顺便问了一下公车改革的进展情况，鼓励他们大胆试验，成功了推广，失败了也不要紧，改革本身就是摸着石头过河的事儿，谁也不是算命先生，即便是算命先生，也算不准每一项改革措施是不是能够圆满地实现预定目标。有了张书记的鼓励和鞭策，洪钟华对铜州市的现实和未来又有了一份信心，心情也好了许多，甚至让司马达拉着他到即将改建成死人小区的华侨农场看了一趟，对车轱辘选择的这片地方非常满意，向司马达发感慨：“民政局那个车副局长，如果没有出那个问题，倒还真是一个干工作的人。” 就在洪钟华对车轱辘表达惋惜之意的同时，车轱辘在继续犯错误，惊叹号带着他跑到省城找省委黄副书记。黄副书记那一级的干部住的宅子都在高干大院里，门口有武警站岗，进门既要登记又要向主人通报，非常麻烦。现在很多有钱人买了高级住宅区之后，也可以享受到类似待遇，不同的是，没有武警替他们站岗，他们得自己掏钱雇保安。 黄副书记家住在大院新盖成的高层建筑里，楼中楼，大概有个二百多平方米。高层建筑四周散落着一些老式别墅，那些老式别墅已经破旧，再装修瓤子也糠了，现任领导也不屑于住那种经历了不知道多少代人的老房子。于是黄副书记这样的现任领导就自己给自己垒窝，在有限的地盘上盖起了高层建筑，安装了电梯，每人一层楼，住得集中却又互不干扰，高高在上却又上下方便，大楼门口还可以再安一道岗哨，双保险，更安全。 惊叹号对黄副书记家熟门熟路，到了黄副书记家按响门铃，连保姆都认识他，亲热地跟他打招呼，惊叹号把手里拎的两盒铜州特产龙山酥饼递给保姆：“回家的时候带上，给孩子尝尝。”保姆欢欢喜喜接了过去，连忙给他们俩找拖鞋。刚才路上车轱辘看到惊叹号带了两盒酥饼就觉得奇怪，以为黄副书记好这一口，没想到他是给黄副书记的保姆送的。车轱辘不由得暗暗赞叹，惊叹号表面上看着粗粗拉拉，办起事来的却有板有眼，连黄副书记家的保姆都不拉份，难怪黄副书记喜欢他。 两个人换上拖鞋，把自己的鞋扔在门外，走进了对于车轱辘来说多多少少有点神秘的省委副书记家。车轱辘不是没有接触过这个级别的领导，但是却从来没有到过这个级别领导的家里，进了门由不得就有些露怯，蹑手蹑脚似乎在冰面上行走，又像窃贼入室行窃。保姆把他们让进客厅，张罗着要沏茶倒水，惊叹号接过她手里的茶壶茶杯：“你忙你的，我自己来，我也不是生人。” 保姆便让惊叹号自己沏茶，自己跑上楼向黄副书记通报去了。 车轱辘趁机东张西望的查看省委大领导的客厅。客厅确实够大，足有五十多平方米，摆设跟生活条件好的普通老百姓家里也没什么区别，不外乎平板大彩电、组合音响、沙发茶几等等。让车轱辘好笑的是，黄副书记在书法问题上确实像惊叹号说的，太自以为是，完全可以说是自恋狂。满墙上挂的都是他自己的涂鸦，其他人的字画居然一幅也没有。车轱辘正在心里暗暗好笑，黄副书记从楼上书房下来了。黄副书记年届六十，头发染得乌黑发亮，手里捏着他的老花眼镜，打着哈哈跟他惊叹号招呼：“你怎么跑来了？这位是谁？” 惊叹号连忙迎上去向黄副书记介绍车轱辘：“这是我的连襟，在铜州市当民政局副局长，黄书记在铜州当市委书记的时候，他还在基层当科长呢，可能黄书记没有印象了。” 黄副书记的记性却非常好：“你是不是叫车轱辘？对，真正的名字叫车福禄，大家都开玩笑叫你车轱辘，记得记得，有一次，市里召开创建卫生城市动员大会的时候，你还代表你们单位到大会上发言了呢。” 黄副书记竟然对自己这个小小的科长还有印象，让车轱辘受宠若惊，联想到自己目前的处境，又有些惭愧，忐忑不安地握住黄副书记伸过来的手摇了又摇：“谢谢黄副书记，想不到您还记得我。” 黄副书记发感慨：“我最好的一段时光就是在铜州市度过的，铜州市也真是个催人干事的地方。人年纪大了，念旧得很，最近老想找抽空回去看看，事务缠身一直没倒出空来。” 惊叹号接过黄副书记的话头按照既定方针开始忽悠：“我这个连襟啊，那天在我家看到了黄书记一幅字，就跟中邪了一样，日思夜想……”千穿万穿，马屁不穿，惊叹号和车轱辘两个人你一言我一语，拼命赞美黄副书记的书法，把黄副书记忽悠得乐滋滋的。按照两个人事先设计好的计划，瞅准火候，车轱辘作出小心翼翼、忐忑不安的样子张口向黄副书记求一幅字。黄副书记看在他既是惊叹号连襟，又是铜州市的老部下的份上，让保姆取来纸张笔墨，拿茶几当了书桌，就地挥毫，给他提了“无私无忧”四个大字。 车轱辘在场面上混了这么久，拍马屁的功夫已经练得炉火纯青，一边一连声地啧啧称奇，不停叫好，一边拿出自己花了一万多块钱买的一方洮砚、两块苏墨和一套徽州大狼毫送给了黄副书记。黄副书记当然不能收他这份礼，车轱辘极为诚恳地说：“说实话，这些东西也不是我买的，是一个我的同学送给我的，我平时也爱写写画画，在我连襟家里看到过黄书记的字，从那天开始，我就不再好意思动笔墨了，心里也就存了一份把这套笔砚送给黄书记的念头，专门求我的连襟带着我来求黄书记的字，我也知道黄书记清正廉洁，从来不收受礼物，就算我拿一副笔墨换黄书记一幅字总可以吧？我知道黄书记的一幅字的价值，说句俗气话，拿到书画行就这一幅字，就地就能换四五万块钱。” 惊叹号更在旁边敲边鼓：“过去常说宝剑赠壮士，红粉送佳人，让我说啊，这号笔墨砚台就得黄书记这样的书法家才有资格用，让我这个连襟用，纯粹是浪费。我们中国有风俗，偷书不算偷，文房四宝不算礼，这是高雅的事儿，可不是俗套子能够衡量的。” 话说到这儿，车轱辘赖皮赖脸地把笔墨砚台放到黄副书记的桌上拿了黄副书记那副字转身就跑，留下惊叹号帮他说正事儿。黄副书记没想到车轱辘会扔下笔墨砚台就跑，反倒愣了，问惊叹号：“他怎么跑了？” 惊叹号说：“我这个连襟啊，就是那么个厚道本分人，让你刚才说的不收礼的话给臊着了。这个人就知道干工作，从来不会溜须拍马巴结领导那一套，他确实是佩服黄书记的这一笔字，那天在我家看了黄书记的字以后，当时就要抢，我哪舍得给他？跟他差点翻脸，后来我答应他替他向黄书记求一幅字，他非要亲眼看看黄书记挥笔动墨，我这不才把他领来了。” 惊叹号这么一说，黄副书记顿时觉得车轱辘这个人确实厚道老实，换了任何一个人，也不至于这样当场跑掉。他却不知道，惊叹号知道他喜欢厚道老实人，事先跟车轱辘设计好了这样一场表演。车轱辘和惊叹号连吹带捧带表演，黄书记心里对车轱辘印象好极了，惊叹号趁机长叹一声，摇头不语。黄副书记好奇地问：“你怎么了？” 惊叹号于是接下来把车轱辘最近遇到的倒霉事拈轻避重的给黄副书记述说了一遍，其中车轱辘飚车造成车祸一节，在惊叹号嘴里变成了司机葫芦那天不舒服，车轱辘关心司机的健康，也是为了安全才帮车轱辘开车的，结果出了那么一场不属于他的责任的车祸。由于车轱辘老实厚道，出了车祸以后非常害怕，就找交警队的同志做工作，想争取处理的轻一点。刚好交警队一个队长要给父母买墓穴，车轱辘分管殡葬管理科，就帮他买了两个便宜的墓穴，结果纪委就认为这里面有行贿嫌疑，揪住车轱辘不放，把车轱辘弄得恨不得自杀去。惊叹号半真半假地叙述让黄副书记心里非常不忍，黄副书记是一个心软的人，对车轱辘的印象又非常好，再加上对自己的老下级惊叹号非常信任，所以当惊叹号请黄书记过问一下这件事情，帮帮车轱辘这个老实人的时候，黄副书记脑子一热，就拨通了洪钟华的电话…… 车轱辘实际上没有离开，就在省委家属大院外面的车里等着惊叹号，惊叹号告别黄副书记坐进车里，把黄副书记给洪钟华亲自打电话的经过给车轱辘复述了一遍，车轱辘高兴极了，在他的想象中，有省委黄副书记亲自关照，就凭他的这么点事儿，保留职务应该是一点问题也没有的。事情办妥了，惊叹号在他的心目中顿时高大起来，当场声称一定要重重地答谢惊叹号，惊叹号说：“我靠，你答谢我干嘛？能让我满足的你弄不起，你能弄得起的我也看不上，算了，谁让我们是亲戚呢，今后喝酒你多买几次单就行了。”事情如果到此为止，说不定洪钟华在处理车轱辘的时候多多少少会看在黄副书记的面子上，从轻从宽给车轱辘留条后路。世上万事做起来，最高级的境界就是四个字：恰到好处，最低级的错误也是四个字：画蛇添足。从哲学角度讲，万事万物就是一个掌握度的问题。车轱辘最终吃亏就吃到了画蛇添足上，他的劲使过度了。 回铜州的路上，惊叹号提醒车轱辘，县官不如现管，如果车轱辘在铜州市穿一个能跟纪委说上话的人，当面跟办案的工作人员做做工作，他们汇报的时候如果能够避重就轻，提出的处理意见如果能从轻从宽，那车轱辘的事儿才算万事大吉了。车轱辘在官场上混的时间不短，这一套一点都不含糊，甚至比惊叹号更加门清，当时也不说话，心里却琢磨了一路，该找谁穿一下纪委的工作人员，最好是能直接把那个办案的处长穿起来，那样就真的万事大吉了。想来想去，车子快进铜州的时候，车轱辘想到了纪检组长郭晓梅。
