Chapter 15 Taking Feishi Town as a breakthrough point

The party and government of Feishi Town accompanied Hou Weidong and his party and spent a day on the mountain.Secretary Pu deliberately chose a farmhouse on the mountain, butchered fat chickens, put dried cowpeas, and simmered them slowly. When the pot was boiled at noon, the aroma came out. This is a natural farmhouse chicken soup. It may not be so delicate, but it is simple and natural. Secretary Pu of Feishi Town brought a few bottles of Wuliangye in his car, but instead of taking them out rashly, he asked tentatively, "Secretary Hou, this is your first time in Feishi Town, shall we offer you two glasses at noon?"

Hou Weidong drank a lot, and he was not afraid of drinking at first, but as the leader of the county party committee, it was really inappropriate to take the lead in drinking at noon.He said straightforwardly: "It's the first time I've come to Feishi. I don't drink at all. I'm sorry for the enthusiasm of Secretary Pu and Mayor Li. Let's set a quantity and let's drink a bottle at noon." It was the first time that Secretary Pu had private contact with Hou Weidong. Seeing that he was very easy-going and did not object to drinking, he asked the driver to take out Wuliangye.When Wuliangye was placed on the table, he paid attention to Hou Weidong's expression.

In his heart, Hou Weidong is a rising political star who has risen on a rocket. Generally speaking, this kind of rising star pays attention to political achievements, and they have a sense of justice that is somewhat inconsistent with the reality of the grassroots.The experienced Secretary Pu was very respectful to Hou Weidong, but he was not in a hurry to embrace Hou Weidong's thick leg, and he was respectful with caution. Wuliangye was placed in front of Hou Weidong, but Hou Weidong didn't look at Wuliangye at all.If the secretary of the county party committee came to Feishi Town for inspection, and Feishi Town just got some old white cadres, that would be a problem worthy of his attention.This is not a question of alcohol, but a question of attitude towards county leaders.

Hou Weidong was very interested in the pot of chicken soup, picked up the spoon, and said, "After walking for a long time, I'm so hungry, I'll have a bowl of chicken soup first." Most of the people here are older than Hou Weidong, but at the dinner table, official positions are always ranked above age.The table was headed by Hou Weidong, he naturally swayed freely and didn't have to watch other people's faces cautiously. Seeing that Hou Weidong didn't pay attention to Wuliangye at all, and he didn't pretend to be serious, Secretary Pu felt relieved and became more enthusiastic.Filled the beer glass, touched it for about two or two, and said: "I heard that Secretary Hou is huge, and he is the number one among the four major teams in the county. I am overconfident, and I want to respect Secretary Hou."

Hou Weidong sipped the delicious chicken soup and said with a smile: "The name of the wine is too strong, it is not a good thing." The mayor, Li Jianguo, interjected: "In the past, Xu Shiyou drank a lot, and the chairman specially approved him to drink, so drinking still has to vary from person to person." He became mayor after Liu Yonggang was dismissed, and he was not qualified enough, so he had to be cautious in front of Hou Weidong much. Hou Weidong raised his wine glass and said, "Today is the first time I have dinner with the party and government team of Feishi Town. I will respect everyone for this glass of wine first. Let's do it together."

The party and government leaders of Feishi Town stood up, and Hou Weidong drank wine with Secretary Pu, Li Jianguo, Lu Fei and others in turn with wine glasses. Good wine, good food, good scenery, of course, bring a good mood.Under the deliberate cultivation of both parties, the host and guest talked happily and the atmosphere was good. Spring usually hosts many banquets.It's just that when she usually attends a banquet, she always stands behind and pours wine, but today she is sitting as a guest with Hou Weidong, Secretary Park and others, so her mood is naturally different.When Secretary Park toasted her politely, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and stood up holding the wine glass: "Secretary Park, Xiaochun proposes a toast to you. I have a limited amount of alcohol, so I can only drink a little. Please feel free to Secretary Park."

What Chunchun said was quite neat and decent.She has worked in the county guest house for four years, standing behind the county leader and pouring wine as many times as stars in the sky, countless times.She usually pays attention to observing the leaders who come and go, and has been influenced a lot in a subtle way. Secretary Park and the others only thought that Spring was a staff member of the county party committee, and they were not surprised to see that he handled it well.But Hou Weidong knew the details of Chunchun, and seeing her toast with the town leaders generously, he thought to himself: "Chunchun is really a clever girl. If she is given a platform, she should be very capable."

Zhu Mei had been sitting next to Hou Weidong. She was disabled, and secretary Du Bing had taken time to greet Secretary Park, so Secretary Park and other town leaders did not toast Zhu Mei.Zhu Mei drank soup and ate vegetables quietly, watching everyone stand up and sit down again. After drinking a bottle of wine, everyone felt a little unsatisfied.Secretary Park has a good capacity for alcohol, but he has to drink on his face. At this time, his face is flushed, and his forehead is full of sweat. He said: "Secretary Hou is really a big drinker, open another bottle?" Hou Weidong drank two ounces of wine, and he really didn't feel anything in his body. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, it's just the last bottle. I make a rule. Don't pay respects to everyone. How much I drink, everyone drinks. .”

After the two bottles of wine were finished, Secretary Park wanted to persuade him, but Hou Weidong said seriously: "Someday, let's put down the things in hand and have a good drink. I think Secretary Park can hold a lot of alcohol. When the time comes, Mayor Li No help is allowed, the two of us will compete alone." These words reveal some of my family's feelings, and with the strength of alcohol, they are kind and natural.Secretary Pu wiped the hot sweat off his face, and said, "How dare I compete with Secretary Hou, I am willing to bow down." Everyone chatted and laughed, and Hou Weidong saw that the time was almost up, so he said, "Let's sit outside in the shade for a while."

The landlord hurriedly set up a few benches under the tree, brewed eagle tea, and grabbed fried peanuts.Hou Weidong sat around with the three party and government leaders of Feishi Town, his face became serious, and he said: "The provincial government issued a document on rectifying the order of the mining industry. You can't lock the document in the cabinet. What do you think?" At this time, with the intention of formally answering, Secretary Park sat up straight, cleared his throat, and reported: "Feishi Town has a variety of non-ferrous metals, and the production of lead-zinc and tungsten sand is the highest. One of the three major lead-zinc mining towns. The town attaches great importance to this rectification. After the rectification meeting was held in the county, a joint party and government meeting was held immediately to study this matter."

"Well, to be more specific, I read the materials. The main minerals in Feishi Town are still lead-zinc ore, and tungsten placer and molybdenum ore are in a supplementary position." Secretary Pu already understood that Hou Weidong's trip was aimed at rectifying the lead-zinc mine.He had studied this for a long time, and he was not flustered. He said, "There are dozens of large and small lead-zinc mines in Feishi Town. In the past, there were enterprises belonging to the town government. After the restructuring, all enterprises are private enterprises responsible for their own profits and losses. Dozens of enterprises can be regarded as medium-sized and above six, including Shunfa lead-zinc mine and Yongfa lead-zinc mine, and the other is small-scale lead-zinc mines with poor conditions and heavy pollution. There are two situations, one with complete certificates, and the other with no formalities at all." Hou Weidong stared at Secretary Park and said, "If it is really closed, stopped, merged, and transferred, what problems will arise?" When Liu Yonggang, the former mayor of the town, was still in office, Secretary Pu basically could not command these lead-zinc mines.Since Liu Yonggang was dismissed and transferred because of the prostitution case, he has gradually improved his relationship with the lead and zinc mine owners.These lead-zinc mines are the source of income for Feishi Town, and they are closely related to the village community. He doesn't really want to rectify the lead-zinc mines on a large scale. Secretary Pu showed embarrassment, and said: "From what I have been in contact with, it is very difficult. First, there is too much money for technical transformation, and no lead-zinc mine is willing to pay; second, many villagers in this town are working in small lead mines. Working in the zinc mine, closing the lead-zinc mine means cutting off the villagers' financial resources; third, Feishi Town is deep in the mountains, and the conditions for small mine mining are simple, and small mine owners often fight guerrillas with the town. Wide, it's hard." Seeing that Secretary Pu was flinching, Hou Weidong said: "This is the decision of the provincial government, and it must be done no matter how difficult it is. With the support and encouragement of the county party committee and the county government, I believe that the party and government of Feishi Town can carry out the rectification. Good job." Mayor Li Jianguo looked at Secretary Park's face and said nothing. Hou Weidong glanced at the expressions of the town cadres, and said: "I have three requirements for the rectification work in the town. One is to strengthen the organization of the rectification work, and establish a leading group with the main leaders of the town in command; the second is to improve the rectification plan. The time schedule, law enforcement subjects, law enforcement methods, determination of key targets, and the disposal of mining equipment, illegal mineral products, and illegal income, etc., should be detailed and specific to facilitate implementation; the third is to organize carefully, implement steadily, and earnestly do a good job in publicity and education Work, unify the thinking of cadres and the masses, and win the understanding and support of the majority of the masses.” He encouraged: "The town is not fighting alone. All law enforcement units in the county must jointly enforce the law and attack Feishi Town hard. The public security, land and other departments have stepped up investigations, and confiscated mining tools for those who dig indiscriminately. , mineral products, and illegal gains. During the rectification period, those who use electricity, the power supply department has a power outage, and the public security department has completely stopped the supply of blasting equipment and the issuance of blasting certificates.” At this point, Secretary Pu felt Hou Weidong's determination, and said: "Please rest assured, Secretary Hou, since the county party committee and the county government trust us, we will try our best to do a good job in the rectification work." Hou Weidong immediately corrected and said: "It's not about doing your best, but doing your best. The county party committee and the county government have placed high hopes on the party and government team of Feishi Town. You are a pilot town in the county to rectify the order of the mining industry. You must find out advanced experience. With Experience, other towns will follow suit one after another." Hearing this, several leaders in the town felt chills in their hearts, knowing that the drink was not good. When leaving Feishi Town, Secretary Pu reported another matter to Hou Weidong alone, saying: "Feishi Town is a big town with lead-zinc mines, and many cadres in the town are inextricably linked with lead-zinc mines. This is not good for the next step of the rectification work. In order to facilitate the development of the rectification work, I want to transfer individual cadres out of Feishi Town." "You report this matter directly to Minister Li, and she will give full consideration. I only have one request, and everything should start and end in favor of the rectification work." Hou Weidong said again: "The county party committee will formulate policies, and those who have made outstanding contributions in the rectification activities will be considered by the organization in many aspects such as appointment, transfer, and learning." The last sentence moved Secretary Park's heart. He has worked at the grassroots level for 20 years. Over the past few years, as he got older, his desire for promotion has gradually faded. Now he wants to transfer to the city to work in a department.The rectification of the lead-zinc mine in Feishi Town this time is the best opportunity to show yourself in front of Hou Weidong. After returning from Feishi Town, it was already evening when Hou Weidong and his party returned to the county party committee guest house. After returning home, Hou Weidong had time to appreciate Zhu Mei's paintings.He has known Zhu Mei for several years. When the two exchanged news, Zhu Mei would send some small paintings from time to time.His impression of Zhu Mei's paintings has always remained in the impression of a little girl painting beautiful women.At this time, I saw the paintings on the mountain in Feishi Town, the brushwork was strong, the spirit was majestic, and there was a sense of vicissitudes and sadness.This is extremely inconsistent with Zhumei's age, gender, and experience, but it is also relieved to think about the fact that she is disabled. In Zhu Mei's painting, there is actually a sketch of "the tomb of Xiang Yong, an educated youth". Weeds are overgrown around the cemetery, and there are several big trees beside it. The weeds and big trees move with the wind.This painting reflects Zhu Mei's deep sorrow in the form of the cemetery, which inadvertently makes the picture have a sense of vicissitudes, which fits well with Wu Ying's emotions when she came to the tomb. Looking at this painting, Hou Weidong seemed to hear the whirring of the mountain wind.Hou Weidong wrote: "This painting, give it to me?" "Of course, but this is just a sketch. I'll draw another one for you." Hou Weidong did not describe the origin of the cemetery to Zhu Mei. Zhu Mei had no concept of that period of history, and it was not easy to write clearly. He wrote: "You will become a great painter in the future. This painting must be valuable. I will collect it first." Taking the painting "The Tomb of the Educated Youth Xiang Yong" back to the dormitory, Hou Weidong put it on the table and admired it for a while. From the day Hou Weidong can remember, that crazy era has come to an end, and he has a deep impression on two details. One was at the age of four or five, and he and his mother Liu Guangfen took the bus at Wuhai Station.In the station hall, several people tied up a young man, not with handcuffs, but with hemp rope, and this hemp rope tied the young man into a rice dumpling. Hou Weidong was young at the time, so naturally he didn't understand what was going on, but the handsome and ferocious face of that young man is still vivid to this day. Later, Hou Weidong also asked his mother many times, while Liu Guangfen was in a daze, unable to remember such an incident at Wuhai County Bus Station.Liu Guangfen was annoyed by the questioning, and once said: "In those days, people were kidnapped every day, how can I remember clearly." She said this, touched her little head exposed outside the quilt, and said, " You child, don't think about adults' things all day long, turn off the lights and go to sleep." The other thing is what happened in kindergarten.At that time, Liu Guangfen was still a teacher in a primary school, and the kindergarten and primary school were in the same yard.Liu Guangfen is very popular in school, and Xiao Hou Weidong is naturally like a fish in water in kindergarten.He became the king of children, often running around in the garden with a group of children.The kindergarten is located on a very high ground. Standing in the dam of the kindergarten, you can overlook the road outside.Xiaohou Weidong's favorite thing to do is to wait for the parade.He had already prepared some small stones, and when the excited crowd passed by, under his command, the children threw small stones at the crowd, and then a group of children fled to the classroom like flying, causing a lot of scolding behind them.As for how the kindergarten negotiated with the parade, it was not within the scope of Hou Weidong's management. Hou Weidong's impression of that era is vague and fragmented. At this time, this dense painting seems to have a magical power to connect the fragments in his mind. "Secretary Hou, have you rested? I want to hold you up for a few minutes." Zhu Bing walked in with some alcohol. Hou Weidong put the painting aside and called Zhu Bing to sit down. He smelled the wine on Zhu Bing's body, pushed the fruit plate in front of him, and said, "Why are you being polite to me, sit down and eat some fruit." Zhu Bing, the deputy county magistrate, Deng Jiachun, the director of the Public Security Bureau, and Yang Yong, the deputy chief prosecutor, are Hou Weidong's troika in Chengjin and his most capable assistants.Zhu Bing is also an old friend for many years. In private, the two of them are quite casual. Zhu Bing also began to eat unceremoniously, and said while eating: "I went to Shuanghe Town for a meeting today. The overall situation is not bad, but Wen Gongcheng's attitude is a bit unpredictable." "Is Wen Gongcheng involved in the mining industry?" Although Hou Weidong is only the deputy secretary of the county party committee, he is actually Chengjin's top leader.Chengjin's tasks and difficulties are all in his mind, which cannot be compared to Zhu Bing, the deputy county magistrate in charge of transportation.He was thinking about non-ferrous metal mines every day, and his first reaction was Wen Gongcheng's connection with minerals. Zhu Bing, on the other hand, focused all his attention on road construction and was not too sensitive to the mineral issue. He said, "I don't know about this. Shuanghe Town is in Pingba. There is no mineral, so there should be no connection." He explained, " I didn't make it clear just now, what I mean is that Wen Gongcheng's attitude towards road construction is a bit unpredictable." "What's wrong with Wen Gongcheng's attitude?" "Wen Gongcheng expressed his positive attitude during the meeting, but during the meal, when he mentioned that the construction of the road would take up a lot of fertile land in Shuanghe Town, he was very concerned and raised many difficulties. I don't think he will be very effective in the future. " Hou Weidong had one-on-one contact with Wen Gongcheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Shuanghe Township.In his impression, Wen Gongcheng is very similar to Lao Pu in Feishi Town, a veteran who is familiar with township work, said: "Shuanghe Town is a suburban county, and the vegetable clubs in the past were mainly concentrated there, and there have always been people who grow vegetables. Tradition. You can grow vegetables with land, and every vegetable you choose in the county is money, which means that with land, you can guarantee the survival of the whole family. It is normal for Wen Gongcheng to have such scruples .” Zhu Bing shook his head and said: "Not only the feeling, but also one thing, I think it's a bad sign. This time I went to the three towns of Jushu, Hexi and Shuanghe to find out. According to your request, I went directly to the village community first, and then to the town. The mobilization work of Jushu Town and Hexi Town was good, but Shuanghe Town was not as good. The village party secretary only knew about the road construction. The specific situation, the village is a bit cloudy, which does not meet the original requirements of the county." In Yiyang, when the two first met, Zhu Bing was already the deputy director of the county transportation bureau, while Hou Weidong was a very ordinary cadre stationed in the village.Now both of them are deputy county-level leading cadres, but Zhu Bing has quickly gotten used to the changes in their status.As long as work is involved, he immediately changed the relationship between the two of them from friends to subordinates. Hou Weidong's face turned serious, and said: "I made it very clear at the mobilization meeting for the construction of the Chengsha Highway that we must attach great importance to it and fully mobilize it. Wen Gongcheng is the old secretary, so he should be able to clearly distinguish the priorities." He I called Li Zhi, the head of organization, and said, "I've been busy for a while, so I haven't had time to ask about the pilot project of building grassroots organizations. How's the situation?" Li Zhi washed his hair and was drying his hair with a hair dryer when he received a call from Hou Weidong and said, "The day before yesterday, I went to Shuanghe Town with Minister Su and Section Chief Guo to watch the scene. Minister Su was very impressed with the conditions of Shuanghe Town." Satisfied, let Section Chief Guo stay in the county, help to clear up our thoughts, and let us get rid of our shoulders." "This time, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee was able to put the pilot work in Chengjin. The cadres don’t know too much, how about Secretary Wen of Shuanghe Town?” Hou Weidong deliberately learned about Wen Gongcheng’s situation from the side. Li Zhi was taken aback when she heard this, she spent a lot of brainpower in order to choose a suitable pilot town.Shuanghe Town is a suburban town, and the conditions of the villages in the town are relatively good.Wen Gongcheng is also a veteran cadre who once served as the deputy secretary of the district committee. Since the district was withdrawn, the township was merged, and the town was established, he has been serving as the secretary of the town committee. He has rich experience at the grassroots level and has a good relationship with the organization department.In the end, Li Zhi handed over the pilot task to Shuanghe Town. "Secretary Hou suddenly asked about this matter, what does it mean?" Li Zhi's mind was spinning quickly, she briefly introduced Wen Gongcheng's situation, and said: "Most of the towns in Chengjin are mountainous areas, and the transportation is inconvenient , only the three towns of Jushu, Hexi, and Shuanghe are relatively flat. After becoming a pilot town, the Organization Department of the municipal party committee will often come down to check, so they can't be too remote." Hou Weidong didn't mean to blame Li Zhi, and said: "The experiment and the work should not be two separate skins. The purpose of the experiment is to promote the work. Now that the Chengsha Road is being built, Shuanghe Town occupies a lot of land, and the organization department is carrying out the experiment. When the time comes, we must consciously do a good job in the publicity and education of land requisition to promote the smooth development of this work. Tomorrow, you can accompany me to Shuanghe to take a look. Don’t notify in advance. We will go to the village first, and then to the town inside." Seeing that Hou Weidong had paid attention to this matter, Zhu Bing went home to sleep.He actually drank a lot of wine at the dinner party, and had several drinks with Wen Gongcheng. After the room fell silent, Hou Weidong couldn't help but think of Guo Lan who lived in the front yard of the County Party Committee Guest House.After knowing that Guo Lan is the long-haired woman in white clothes in the dance hall at the back door of Shazhou University, the relationship between Hou Weidong and Guo Lan has become subtle.Su Mingjun returned to Shazhou on business, but Guo Lan stayed behind as a representative of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and lived in the front yard of the County Party Committee Guest House.Although both of them lived in the county party committee guest house, they were busy with their own affairs, and they only met once at the dinner party the day before yesterday. When Hou Weidong came to the front yard, the waiter on duty was watching TV with relish. Seeing Hou Weidong walking in, he hurriedly stood up. "Which room is Section Chief Guo of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee? Has she rested?" The waiter just came down from upstairs and said: "Section Chief Guo lives in 302, and there are guests in her room." Hearing that there were guests, Hou Weidong felt relieved.When I came to 302, I saw the door was open, and there was a chattering sound from inside. There were several people sitting in room 302. Except for Dai Lingling, they were all cadres from the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, and Wen Yongge from the Organization Department of the County Party Committee was also there.When they saw Hou Weidong coming in, they were surprised at first, and then happily welcomed Hou Weidong in. "You don't know, Section Chief Guo used to be my leader." After sitting down, Hou Weidong took the initiative to break the news. Dai Lingling had contacted Hou Weidong many times, and she was relatively casual. She said, "Secretary Hou, I remember that when Section Chief Guo was in the Municipal Organization Department, you were the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office." "I'm not working in Shazhou. Back then, Section Chief Guo was the section chief of the Organization Department of Yiyang, and I was her subordinate. If you don't believe me, ask Section Chief Guo." When Guo Lan saw Hou Weidong, who was talking and laughing happily, he felt various feelings in his heart, and his face did not show any emotion. He said: "Secretary Hou used to be the deputy mayor of the town, and he was transferred to the organization department as a temporary transition." After chatting for a while, Wen Yongge and others from the Organization Department of the Chengjin County Party Committee got up and said goodbye. The remaining two, the lonely man and the widow, faced each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.The evening wind was blowing in the front and back yards of the county party committee guest house, it was hot and ambiguous.Hou Weidong rubbed his hands together, and said, "I never expected that you are the woman in white. I thought it was Wu Yi from the Municipal Commission of Commerce. She happened to be studying at Shazhou College at the time. Fortunately, I didn't ask her." Guo Lan raised her head, looked at Hou Weidong's straight nose, then turned her eyes away, and said, "Do you have a deep impression of the woman in white back then?" Hou Weidong looked at the faint freckles on Guo Lan's nose, and said, "I had just graduated and reported to the Yiyang Personnel Bureau. , I have been looking for that long-haired woman in white, who knows that you have short hair, and you don’t know each other, isn’t it funny?” Guo Lan said: "That night, I cut my hair." Hou Weidong asked again: "At that time, why did you leave in a hurry? I remember that you shed tears at that time." Guo Lan recognized Hou Weidong when she was studying in the Qinggan class. On the one hand, she was shy, and on the other hand, she was worried that Hou Weidong would not remember that incident at all, so she decided to bury the dance in her heart.At this time, knowing that Hou Weidong had been looking for the woman in white made her feel a little warm in her heart, and said: "Back then, you were confused and I was sad." With a touch of sentimentality, and warmth. Guo Lan said again: "After graduating from university, I just got a decent job. The thing that can make a girl cry is that fruitless love." She talked about her first love with memories. The first loves in college are actually very similar. People who are first loves are always willing to believe that this is a unique and beautiful love, and they always believe that the other party is their destined partner.But life is life, and it always tells the truth when people are at their happiest.The dry love also dies with the wind, leaving only a sigh and sweet memories of the first love. Hou Weidong didn't say much, just listened. Guo Lan originally thought that she would cry, but when she told this story, she was just a little sad, but not sad.After telling this love story that she originally thought was poignant, she seemed to have passed a deep hurdle, and she suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally.Seeing Hou Weidong listening carefully, she couldn't help laughing at herself: "I'm funny, right? I talked about children in front of the secretary of the county party committee." Hou Weidong shook his head and said, "There's nothing special about the secretary of the county party committee. As long as you are a person, you will have first love. The reason why first love is beautiful is that there is only love in the first love. The best medicine to heal the trauma of the soul is time." The guest house is an old-fashioned fluorescent lamp, about 20 watts, not too bright.Under the dim light, Guo Lan's eyes were as gentle as water, her nose was slightly turned up, with a bit of shyness, a bit of elegance, and a bit of mischievousness. She turned her head to look at Hou Weidong, and asked, "Is first love really beautiful? I remember a movie called "We Don't Know Love at First Love". Looking back now, I was really ignorant when I was in college. What kind of man can be relied on?" Men, you are completely confused. Those lovers who are happily married are probably blind cats who met dead rats. It all depends on luck. When we entered the youth class together, your situation was the worst. Ren Lindu, Qin Xiaohong, Yang Liu, by the way, and Liu Kun. Liu Kun was in the county government office at the time, and everyone looked up to him the most. I didn’t expect you to become a dark horse, the youngest county party secretary in Shazhou, and the youngest county party committee secretary in the entire province. Secretary. But at that time, it was difficult for the little girl to tell who was the truly outstanding man." Hou Weidong said with emotion: "I miss the time in Shazhou University very much. In the dead of night, the sound of the piano and the sound of the lake lapping on the shore often appear in my ears." Guo Lan grew up in Shazhou College, and she is very familiar with every plant and tree in the courtyard. She sympathized and said: "I also miss the time when I lived in Shazhou College." Hou Weidong always had a question in his mind: "Why haven't you dated yet?" It was just that this question was a bit abrupt, so he resisted asking, and said, "Is Professor Guo okay?" "My dad is recovering well, thanks to you." The two chatted for a while, and they both felt that there was more to say, and they hit it off indescribably.But in the dead of night, it is really not suitable for lonely men and widows to stay for too long. Hou Weidong got up and said, "I'm leaving. I'm going to Shuanghe Town tomorrow to take a look. The organization department is doing a pilot project in Shuanghe, so I dare not be sloppy." Before Hou Weidong came in, Wen Yongge, deputy director of the organization department of the county party committee, had already told Guo Lan about the matter.Guo Lan nodded, glanced at the calendar, and said, "The day after tomorrow, Zhu Jianguo, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, is going to give lectures at the Provincial Party School. I remember you haven't been to class for a long time, will you go the day after tomorrow?" "Secretary Zhu gave a lecture, so I have to go anyway." Hou Weidong became the deputy secretary of the county party committee and became one of the key figures in the provincial graduate class. The graduate teaching department specially called him. When Hou Weidong left, Guo Lan sent him to the door. Hou Weidong turned around and said, "Don't send it off." At the same time, he habitually stretched out his hand.As the secretary of the county party committee, there are people who report to work every day. He is young and new to Chengjin, so he pays special attention to etiquette.When the comrades reporting work leave, they generally shake hands with each other to show friendship and attention.Shaking hands has become numb, shaking hands has become a subconscious behavior. Holding Guo Lan's hand, he immediately realized that his handshake behavior was a bit ridiculous in such an environment, and secretly said: "Damn, shaking hands with people every day makes something wrong." Standing in the aisle on the third floor, watching Hou Weidong walk into the backyard without hesitation, Guo Lan turned back to the house. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Guo Lan's calm mind was disturbed by the conversation tonight, so she went back to the house and sat by the bed in a daze. Thinking of what happened in the ballroom back then, her face flushed a little.Under the special circumstances at that time, the two embraced each other forgetfully. Although it was only for a short moment, it remained in her heart like a knife and an axe. She even remembered the warmth pouring out of each other's broad chest. Her cheeks were flushed, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out.In the bathroom, Guo Lan looked at her body in the mirror with the eyes of a stranger.In the mirror is a beautiful woman's body, with a slender neck, forming a very smooth curve from the neck to the chest to the waist.The breasts are not too big, but small, tall and straight, very delicate, the lower abdomen is flat and smooth, and the skin is still as smooth as satin.She put her arms around her shoulders and looked at the mirror silently for a while.The girl's mind corresponds to an ancient saying: "If you keep cutting, the reason is still chaotic. It's the sorrow of parting, don't feel it in your heart." The next day, the sun rose as usual. Spring came to the backyard early in the morning. Seeing that Hou Weidong was still closed, she went to Zhumei's room first.Zhu Mei got up very early. She sat by the window sill and drew the red flowers and green grass in the yard. Spring really likes this girl who can't speak.At first, she was affectionate with Zhu Mei to please Hou Weidong, but after being with her for three days, she felt the warmth of a big sister.She entered the room, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote: "What do you want to eat in the morning, noodles? Steamed buns, porridge? Fried dough sticks, soy milk?" Zhu Mei first reached out to hug Chunchun, and then wrote on the paper: "Steamed buns, porridge I also need a salted egg." Chunchun wrote again: "Do you eat it by yourself, or with Secretary Hou?" Zhu Mei thought for a while and wrote: "Eat it with Uncle Hou." Chunchun stood behind Zhu Mei, watching Zhu Mei draw.When she was a child, she had learned the story of the magic brush Ma Liang, and now she saw Zhu Mei draw a few random strokes, and a tree and a flower appeared on the paper. Zhu Mei's brushes were similar to those of the magic brush Ma Liang. "The painting is really good." Hou Weidong walked in and praised. Spring was so distracted that he didn't pay attention to Hou Weidong entering the house, and said embarrassedly: "Secretary Hou, what do you want to eat this morning?" Hou Weidong originally went to eat in a small restaurant, but there were often guests in the front yard of the county guest house.In the early morning, he didn't want to socialize, so he asked Spring to deliver breakfast to the backyard. "You still accompany Zhu Mei to sketch today. Don't go to places that are too dangerous. It's just along the lines of Jushu Town, Hexi Town and Shuanghe Town. Thank you for your hard work." For Chunchun, this is a dream. She said happily: "Xiaomei is amazing, I really admire her." Hou Weidong said gently and honestly: "It is not easy for Zhu Mei to achieve today's results, thanks to her strong willpower. You are not a few years older than Zhu Mei. You have to learn from her, work hard, and recharge yourself at the same time. Only by improving In the future, I will seize the opportunity when I have an opportunity." He said this out of emotion.Although Chunchun is just an ordinary employee of the guest house, and he is not very old, he is quite sophisticated in dealing with people.Sometimes when I see her cautiously trying to curry favor with me, I think of Li Jing who is just out of society for no reason. Spring looked at Hou Weidong full of hope, and said, "I'm a high school student, what can I do?" In Chengjin County, college students are not uncommon, but in administrative agencies, the main body is still high school and junior high school students.Chunchun said this to remind Hou Weidong that she is a high school student. Hou Weidong saw through Chunchun's little thoughts, laughed twice, and said, "You want to go to the Traffic Bureau, have you gone to class?" Chunchun said excitedly: "I have already attended two classes, Secretary Hou, I must study hard."
