It was only after Hu Guoqing returned to the county that the news about his resignation had already spread in the county. Yingping county is not big.Before liberation, this place used to be a famous tobacco leaf distribution center on the Central Henan Plain, so it was relatively prosperous.At that time, the most lively place was the "Nine Streets" that the old people often talked about!Mentioning the Nine Stone Streets is very proud in the eyes of the old people.In fact, to put it bluntly, there are only nine streets plus one fireworks alley anyway.Later, the old county has undergone many renovations and expansions over the years. In recent years, a ring road and an avenue connecting north, south, east and west have been newly built.In Yingping, there used to be a saying: If you fart loudly in the east of the city, everyone in the west of the city will hear it.This actually means that Yingping is a place where news spreads quickly.Because the city circle is small and the population is relatively concentrated, when you go out, you can't look up and you don't look down. In addition, Yingping people like to spread gossip by nature.

Therefore, as soon as Hu Guoqing returned to the county government compound, the cadres immediately showed a kind of distanced kindness.This kind of kindness is on the lips, and it is a concrete manifestation of the monkey with a solid face.You think, this guy is finished, there is absolutely no need to curry favor with him, but when he comes towards you, what should you do?On the plain, this is another kind of native kindness, a kind of packaged absurdity, or it can be said to be a kind of "hypocrisy" and long-term calculation.In case he makes a comeback one day, at that time, you can still walk over, pat him and say, old man, you really hit it!Hu Guoqing knew this very well. When he stepped up the steps of the office building, every cadre who met him showed a very humble look, and said to him with a smile: "Major Hu is back?" ...Hello magistrate! ...Magistrate Hu...someone even ran up to hold his hand and said, "Magistrate Hu, I miss you so much!" , the mouth is forward, but the heart is backward, and the "thief" is shining in the eyes, which is chilling to see!

However, Hu Guoqing still walked calmly as usual, doing whatever he wanted.When someone greeted him, he would nod casually, and sometimes he would say "huh" twice, and shake hands with people, but he didn't stop.After he entered the office, the distance that was obviously intentionally opened suddenly became apparent.First of all, no one took the initiative to ask him for instructions.It turned out that every time he came back from the outside, there were always groups of people waiting for him in the aisle outside the office, and the secretaries were extremely busy.Now, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that there are few people around, but it is true that no one came to look for him.Even for those urgent matters that must be approved by the county magistrate himself, the cadres of the bureaus and committees just make a phone call to talk about it, and they no longer visit the door.Some simply went directly to the East Courtyard.

The phone is still busy...it's from some people who usually have a close relationship with Hu Guoqing.These people already knew that the county magistrate Hu was about to go down, so they were afraid of offending Wang Huaxin, the secretary of the county party committee. Naturally, they avoided Hu Guoqing and hid when they had to, fearing that they would be implicated in the future.But their consciences were a little uneasy, and they were traditionally tortured by "as soon as a person leaves, the tea will be cold", so they borrowed the phone to convey some meanings that would not make them so embarrassed: some of them wanted to express a moderate amount of condolences ; Some are narrating some concerns with a bit of inquiry; some want to make some confessions to show that they still have feelings.So, on the phone, the words seemed more eager and righteous!

Hu Guoqing accepted all these with a smile... There is only one exception, and that is Fan Mule. Fan Mule should have been the first to get the news.When he knew that Hu Guoqing was going to step down, he was overjoyed all of a sudden!Just drank some wine.Normally, the wine would have been drunk to seven or eight percent, but because he had been smoldering for too long and had too much hatred, he suddenly felt so happy in his heart, so he drank a little violently, and the alcohol naturally rose to the top as he drank. .Alcohol makes people courageous, so, with a little bit of alcohol, he staggered and carelessly came to the county government compound in broad daylight with a large flashlight.

After entering the yard, he immediately turned on the flashlight, and looked at the office building, taking photos all around!Some people came up and asked curiously: "Mule, what are you doing?" Fan Mule said with a mouth full of alcohol, "Stop, stop, is there a power outage? I heard that there is a power outage? Let me take a picture for you. Bright!" Someone said, "Mule, are you drunk? Who said there was a power outage?" Mule flashed his flashlight around, winking and saying, "Who doesn't know about this? Everyone knows about it! Don’t you know? I’ll take photos for you...” Someone teased him and said, “Mule, are you here to ask for money?” Fan Muzi mumbled, “Black, black, it’s too dark It's too dark!"

In this way, Fan Mule walked up and down the office building of the county government with a flashlight in broad daylight, yelling as he walked... He first walked through the bureaus and committees, entering this door and exiting that door , followed by a group of onlookers.Someone kindly persuaded him: "Mule, forget it, go back, go back." He grinned and shouted: "Power outage? Power outage! The county government also has power outages?!" Pointing and laughing at him behind him, he suddenly turned around, shone a flashlight on his face, and said loudly: "I am Fan Mule! Fan Mule is me! Who is shameless? I am shameless!..." Someone really couldn't stand it, so they grabbed him and said, "Mule, you're drunk, let's go, let's go." He shook his arm violently and shouted loudly: "I'm going? Tell me to go? It's not sure yet." Who is going!"

Finally, Fan Mule broke into Hu Guoqing's office with that flashlight.Originally, when he approached the end of the corridor, several people from the government office had already stopped him, but Fan Mule kept yelling loudly while struggling... So Hu Guoqing poked his head in and said with a somber face : "Let him in." As soon as a few people loosened their hands, Fan Mule staggered in.When he entered the door, he hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't dare to be too arrogant, but he still turned on the flashlight. He took a photo of the flashlight and said in pretended surprise: "Why is this room so dark? The power is out." ?”

Hu Guoqing sat there, glanced at him, and said coldly, "Yes, the power is out." Fan Mule smelt of alcohol and said, "The county magistrate...is there a power outage too?" Hu Guoqing said calmly: "Electricity, it doesn't matter if you are a mule or a horse, it will stop when it should." Fan Mule shook the flashlight and said, "Fuck, it doesn't recognize its relatives?!" Hu Guoqing said: "People have their own rules, and electricity has its own rules. Electricity is routed according to the circuit. If it is short-circuited, even the parents can't help it."

Fan Mule said, "That's right. I brought all the flashlights to show you the way. The road ahead is black!" Hu Guoqing said: "The road is walked by people. Some people are afraid of the dark, and some are not. What are you afraid of?!" Talking, talking, Fan Mule's alcohol came up again, he shook the flashlight in his hand, and shone directly on Hu Guoqing's face!Said: "My surname, you, you can do it, you can do it. You are an ant elephant - a big player! Roll a dick in the oil pan - a steel bird! Put waist water on the plane - urine is high! Scorpion plaster ——It's black and poisonous!..." After all, Fan Mule had once been the secretary of the township party committee, and he used to say the same thing when he was drunk.

The bright light of the flashlight shone on Hu Guoqing's face, but he still sat there motionless. Facing the drunken Fan Mule, he felt that he had reached a threshold.When personality and dignity are violated, it can also be said that it is time to test whether he has calmness and concentration.After going through some things, he felt that his samadhi was too limited, and it was impossible to do things on this land without enough grinding and patience.Moreover, he also wanted to cause a misunderstanding to people. This misunderstanding is a ruler to measure people's hearts. He must test it carefully... Seeing that Hu Guoqing was silent, Fan Mule became even more rampant.He forced himself to come forward, sprayed a mouthful of saliva, and shone a flashlight straight into Hu Guoqing's eyes, saying: "My surname is Hu, God has eyes! Chairman Mao has a 'seven rules', do you know that? What is the title, what is it called "Sending the Plague God", I sent you here specially today." Hu Guoqing smiled slightly and said, "Mule is also quite human." Fan Mule squinted and said, "Everyone has a time to draw a period. Shouldn't you also draw a period? Shall I draw one for you?" Hu Guoqing said calmly: "Okay, let's draw." Fan Mule put the flashlight on the table with a "boom" and even unbuttoned the belt on his waist. While unbuttoning his pants, he said presumptuously: "My bird pen is not easy to use. I will draw you a picture with urine. Full stop! I, I will give you, you can draw a round, a little more round..." The anger in Hu Guoqing's heart burst into a "bass", and the flesh on his body trembled. He felt that his patience had exceeded the limit!He really wanted to raise his hand and slap him in the face!But he suddenly recalled an old saying in the officialdom, which is "Don't be surprised by favor or shame".What is "not to be surprised"?And who can be "not surprised by favor or shame"?So, he gritted his teeth and still sat motionless.I thought to myself, pee, I want to see how you pee in the county magistrate's office! Just when Fan Mule threw out the "guy" and was about to put a big "period" on Hu Guoqing with urine, the secretary Xiao Zhao and people from the office all ran in. Xiao Zhao grabbed Fan Mule and said, "Old Fan, Aren't you fooling around? Come on, put the 'guy' on! There's your number." Fan Mule struggled and said, "What, what call, don't answer it!..." Xiao Zhao handed the mobile phone in front of him and said, "You didn't answer the call from Secretary Wang Huaxin of the county party committee?!" Hearing the word "Wang Huaxin", Fan Mule was taken aback for a moment, with a embarrassed face, he still answered it.However, there was only one word that came out of the phone, and that word seemed to come out from between the teeth: "Get lost!" With just this one word, Fan Mule slipped on the ground and turned into a puddle of mud again... In the end, it was Xiao Zhao who buttoned his trousers and dragged him out like a dead pig. Hu Guoqing was still sitting there motionless... That night, the "full stop incident" quickly spread throughout the county.It was Fan Mulezi's extreme behavior that made Hu Guoqing regain a rare point.At such a time, Fan Mule shouldn't have appeared. As the saying goes, killing people is nothing more than nodding.Besides, Fan Mule has bribed others before, and now that he is leaving, you are going to make a fuss, which makes people wonder... Was someone instigated?But Hu Guoqing's silence made him show an admirable atmosphere! It is said that when Wang Huaxin, the secretary of the county party committee, found out, he called Fan Mule away and yelled at him until he was bloodied!It is said that he is not successful enough, but has more than failed!
