Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The Sandstorm is Coming

got windy. Since the opening of the spring, the wind has been blowing one after another. It seems that it will not be reconciled unless it blows the desert up and down. This time, it came very fiercely. The desert is at its most fragile at this time. The crops have just climbed out of the ground, and the green seedlings are still looking forward to the rain. How can they withstand the wind as hard as an iron broom.Although the red willows in Shawo are green, the grass is yellow and the wood is green, but the greenness is so delicate that it can't withstand the wind and sand at all.Populus euphratica grows green late, when the new branches have just germinated, and the old branches have not yet faded away. When the wind blows, the branches will snap off.The end of April and the beginning of May are also a dividing line of the heavens. If it is not scratched, this year will pass safely.If it blows, it is real sand and dust, and when it comes, it will be violent and cover the sky.

Lin Yawen is holding a meeting with the village cadres to arrange for the rush to plant shelterbelts. No matter how many things there are, the work cannot be delayed. This year's shelterbelts have to be completed, not just completed. Lin Yawen temporarily added tasks to the villages. What is owed every year is also made up. The meeting was held at the grain management office, and the township government was in a state of chaos. Ning Suanzao's natal brother and natal uncle took over the office of the township secretary, and Lin Yawen's temporary room was occupied by two stones. .Although the township has done a lot of work, not only did it not have any effect, but it boosted the confidence of Ning Suanzao's family.It's really getting more and more noisy, and the more noisy it is, the more it has no side.As soon as Lin Yawen was decisive, she moved the venue to the grain management office.

Arranging the shelter forest is not to deal with the inspection from above, even if Lao Qi and the others don't come, this work must be done.Not just do it, but do it solidly.As early as after the Spring Festival, Lin Yawen had already started this work. The task was owed by her, and she had to make up for it no matter what. These days, she has already contacted a group of saplings, who are supposed to support Shahu County, and now she has to divide the saplings.When the village party secretary heard that the saplings were not paid, they all rushed to their villages to get them.Lin Yawen was about to criticize He Laomu from Hejiawan. Last year, he took the most tasks. This year, he even dropped the pick a few times, saying that he didn't want to do it.Before the words were spoken, there was a roar outside, and the world was dark in the blink of an eye.Seeing the situation, Lin Yawen knew that the meeting would fail.

Working in Shahu, you have to learn to observe the weather and grasp the temper of God, otherwise, you will let the weather sell you without knowing it.This can be regarded as a great improvement for her after arriving in Shahu. A person who never reads the weather forecast, now not only pays attention to the weather changes every day, but also learns the twenty-four solar terms from the farmers, and the weather in each solar term. possible anomalies.Now, she is considered a half-expert in this respect, not even worse than Qi Maolin.As long as you prick your ears and listen, you will know the approximate level of the wind, whether it will blow away or it will continue for several days.She listened for less than half a minute, her face darkened, and she said to the village cadres: "Go back immediately, the tree planters have left it in advance, and go all out to prevent this wind." Before the words fell, the window was blown by the wind. Open, a gust of dust rolls in, choking people to sneeze.

The village cadres are also meteorological experts. Without Lin Yawen's reminder, they were already anxious, and they all jumped up and ran outside.Before walking out of the yard of the Grain Management Office, the wind and sand completely covered the world. The sandstorm is coming. Sending away the village cadres, Lin Yawen was still not at ease, and urgently notified the township party committee to send some of the township cadres down, and made it clear that her first task was to ensure the personal safety of the villagers. Never come back.After dispatching the township cadres, she also went to Shawan Village herself. As soon as she turned the road to the grain management office, she saw that the surrounding fields were in chaos.People in the field ran home, those on the sand beams ran into the grass, and the student dolls were also frightened.A chicken was crowing on the haystack, and just as it opened its throat, the wind swept it into the air, startling the hostess with a chicken cry, and the throat was filled with sand.When it fell, it was blown several tens of meters away.The wind tore the ropes of two sheep tied to the poplar tree, and they staggered and ran away. One hit the electric pole and became unconscious, and the other rolled into the well.The haystacks in the village were overturned, and the grass danced, overwhelming the sky.

Lin Yawen and a group of people from the food management office rushed to send the student dolls home.The strong wind blew up her skirts, pulled her hair, filled her ears with sand, and she couldn't hear the strong scene that was close at hand.Qiang Guangjing had no choice but to grab her, and shouted into her ear: "County Lin, you go back to your hometown to command, we are here." Lin Yawen ignored Qiang Guangjing, she saw a child stumbled and fell into the main canal, but fortunately there was no water in the main canal , jumped in and picked him up, and asked who it belonged to.The child was so frightened that he lost his mind and threw himself into her arms and began to cry.

After asking around, the child belongs to Chen Xiwa.When Chen Xiwa's son was sent home, the black wind came. What was really scary was the black wind. Only then did Shawan know that the most terrifying time had come.They hid in their homes one after another, with the doors tightly closed, listening to the black wind roaring by.The tree was broken, and the red willow was uprooted and rolled into the air.The sky and the earth are so dark that you can't really see your fingers. The black wind lasted for a day and a night, and the entire desert seemed to be looted. A foot of yellow sand covered the entire village. The fields disappeared, the wheat seedlings disappeared, the green trees disappeared, and the grasses disappeared. The world was completely yellow.Shawan people want to cry but have no tears.

Lin Yawen had once again experienced the severity of the sandstorm. The investigation meeting of the Nanhu deforestation incident was finally held at the flow pipe.Qi Maolin, secretary of the county party committee, arrived in a strong wind. His car was stuck on the road for five hours and his mobile phone lost signal. He was so anxious that he kept cursing in the car.Through the car window, he saw with his own eyes a family's house being overturned. He wanted to go down several times, but was forcibly locked in the car by the driver.Fortunately, after the wind stopped, he ran to that family's house, and no one was injured, and they all hid in the water cellar.After several years of continuous drought, all the water cellars have become decorations. Drinking water for people and animals has to be drawn from desert reservoirs dozens of miles away. This expenditure alone increases the burden on farmers by several hundred yuan.Unfortunately, the reservoir also dried up last year. Later, the State Council allocated special funds, coupled with the support of upstream provinces and cities, so that the reservoir did not bottom out.

As soon as Qi Maolin arrived at Populus euphratica, he first arranged for disaster relief.The dust attack brought huge losses to the farmers. After only one day of disaster investigation, the investigation stopped. All the crops were destroyed, and the houses were also severely damaged. When the farmers saw the cadres, they cried loudly.Qi Maolin urgently arranged all the departments in the county to fully support the agriculture. First, he helped the farmers settle down and have access to water, and then he tried to find ways to fight the disaster. The on-site meeting was jointly held by the Municipal Party Committee and the Water Resources Department. The main leaders of the city also came, and everyone felt very heavy.When Qi Maolin was in the provincial capital, he had reported the matter of the South Lake to the main leaders of the Water Conservancy Department. At that time, he didn't know that someone had died, and the subject of the report was still the forest land.Qi Maolin asked the provincial department to resend experts to demonstrate that the reform of the convection pipe must be carried out under the premise of protecting the desert ecology.At that time, the provincial government also agreed, saying that they would send people down.Now there are people dead, not just one, but another bulldozer operator died in the strong wind. Qi Maolin was very passive by instigating messengers behind his back.

An hour into the meeting, the investigation began.More than 20 villagers in Shawan Village were called to go. The strange thing is that none of them admitted that the township leaders were behind the instigation.Qi Maolin seemed to be slightly relieved, but on the other hand, he felt pain in his heart.The villagers obviously held great antagonism, spoke bluntly, and ignored the leaders of the municipal party committee.After investigating for a long time, nothing was found. Qi Maolin felt suffocated. Looking at the large crops and farmhouses destroyed by sand and dust, his heart was so heavy that he couldn't lift it up.During the meal, he quietly discussed with the city leaders if he could drive in a different direction, as this would not help the matter.The city leader glared at him viciously: "Do you know what you caused? This is worse than '121'!"

When it reopened in the afternoon, the city leaders got angry.County magistrate Lin Yawen did not attend the meeting, saying that she had gone to the disaster relief site.The two deputy directors from the provincial department had great opinions. They were supposed to hold the county leaders accountable this afternoon, but Lin Yawen, the group leader, didn't come, which was tantamount to a demonstration against the provincial department.The city leader asked Qi Maolin to call in person. Qi Maolin walked out of the venue, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly along the sand beams. The greenness of the land was completely swallowed up, and the villagers in the distance were busy cleaning up the sand in the fields.The village is gray-yellow in color. Qi Maolin recalled the time when he was a secretary in Populus euphratica Township. At that time, even though the sand lake was dry, the greenness of Nanbei Lake came rushing in as soon as spring came. Welcome the arrival of spring with a graceful posture, hares jump around in it from time to time, gray pigeons fly to the sand nest in groups, the scenery is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes back.It has only been a few years, and Shahu has become like this. If this continues, the farmers in Huyang Township will really have no way to gain a foothold.Thinking about this question, Qi Maolin felt his heart was blocked by something, he couldn't spit out, couldn't swallow, it was so choked that he wanted to yell at Da Mo. As he was walking, his footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a stone tablet. Most of the stone tablet had been buried by sand, and only two words on it were exposed: Populus euphratica.Suddenly, a series of scenes flashed into Qi Maolin's mind, the fiery Yangko team, the deafening gongs and drums, the people in red and colorful, and the oaths of great pride.At that time, he had just been elected as the deputy county magistrate, and a massive land reclamation campaign began.The county proposed to transform the desert into fertile land within five years, creating a miracle in human history and turning the vast desert into a commercial grain base.So batch after batch of immigrants moved from all corners of the mountain area, people calling and horses calling, it was very lively.Pieces of sand jujube forests were cut down, bulldozers kept shouting day and night, one development zone after another cut ribbons in the desert, monuments were erected, one after another motorized wells began to pump water out, the situation was very gratifying.The Jingguan Development Zone in Populus euphratica Township at the foot of Qi Maolin was cut by him himself. At that time, his photo was still on the front page of the party newspaper of the prefectural committee, and it was very beautiful. Qi Maolin sighed deeply, not knowing whether it was for himself or the land under his feet, he looked back with difficulty, and walked away from the stone tablet with heavy steps.He forgot what he was doing when he came out, and went back to the conference room worried, only to remember that he was calling for Lin Yawen.Looking up, the county magistrate Lin Yawen was speaking.It's okay if she didn't send it out, but once she did, the city leaders' anger was ignited. Lin Yawen's speech went straight to the two deputy directors of the provincial department, saying that the reform of the Huyang River Basin Management Office was the root cause of the two vicious accidents. The county magistrate is a sinner in history. The city leader lost his temper when he heard her words: "You are a sinner, so that proves that those of us here have no party spirit and no consideration for the common people? Comrade Yawen, is today's meeting discussing the reform of the Huyang River Basin? It is for you to reflect on yourself. , In terms of doing a good job in the ideological work of the masses, are you a good group leader? If you have opinions, you can raise them, and you can talk about them, but if you gather a crowd to make trouble, fight collectively, and kill two people, shouldn't you learn your lesson? " Lin Yawen thought for a while, and said with a bit of sadness: "It is each of our leaders here who have learned the lesson, and it is each of our decision makers who hold power in their hands." "Yawen!" Qi Maolin interrupted her, using gestures to stop her from being impulsive.In this case, one sentence may negate all your work.This time he went to the province, Qi Maolin deeply felt the difficulty and complexity of the reform of the Huyang River Basin. It not only involved the unemployment of thousands of people, but also the sudden disappearance of a river system with a history of hundreds of years. Gone forever on Earth.Once this river system disappears, the world-famous desert reservoir is very likely to disappear next.In comparison, what are thousands of workers? The meeting lasted for two days and ended in an extremely unpleasant atmosphere. At the meeting, preliminary opinions were formed, and the reform of the Huyang River Basin was suspended, and the reforms in the Huyang River Basin should be deepened after extensive demonstrations by relevant parties.The case of collective fighting among villagers in Shawan Village that resulted in the death of a person was investigated by the Municipal Public Security Bureau with all its strength, and no one should interfere.As for the responsibilities of the leaders at the county and township levels in this incident, the county will conduct self-examination and report to the municipal party committee after presenting its opinions.The meeting also requested that the city and county levels must fully mobilize to help farmers in Populus euphratica Township carry out production and self-help. As soon as the meeting ended, the provincial and municipal leaders drove away without even having a working meal.Qi Maolin sent the leader to the car, and turned around to talk to Lin Yawen, but saw that Lin Yawen's figure had disappeared into the vast sea of ​​sand. That same afternoon, after all the leaders left, Zhu Shibang walked out of the development company's yard alone.In the past two days, four leaders have talked to him successively. People don't know the specific content, but judging from the aura on his face, there is absolutely no good content in the conversation, otherwise, his face would not be dark. It has to be the same as pot stickers. Zhu Shibang has lost weight, and in just a few days, he has lost a lot of weight. His eyes are sunken, and the circles around his eyes are black and blue. His hair grows like wormwood, and the collar of his clothes is full of dirt.At first glance, it looks like he just escaped from prison.The leaders asked him to tidy himself up, and he said with a smile, "Isn't this good, how can I tidy up?" Under the pale sun, Zhu Shibang crossed the newly paved road to the township government, halfway there, hesitated, he was thinking, should he meet Ning Suanzao and the others at this time?He had already heard about Ning Suanzao inside, and also knew that the two bulldozers had died.He was so sad, very sad for a while, and deeply blamed himself, but he didn't change his mind because of it.When talking to the leaders of the municipal party committee, he still used that tough tone. "Even if I'm withdrawn or caught, this tree can't be destroyed!" The leaders of the municipal party committee had nothing to do with him. After all, he didn't beat people to death. He took the lead in rushing into Nanhu, but he didn't take the lead in beating people.When the villagers were beating wildly, he still shouted to stop the villagers, otherwise, he would not have been easily captured by Hong Guangda's bodyguards.On this point, Hong Guangda's bodyguards testified that he was a man with blood in the world, and he knew how to show loyalty, which was quite different from Hong Guangda.It is said that he was expelled by Hong Guangda just for testifying.Otherwise, Zhu Shibang might be the first one to be arrested by the police. But he didn't feel lucky at all. On the contrary, he felt a little sorry for those villagers who lied for him by coming out like this. He straightened his clothes and went to the township government courtyard.The strange thing is that this day, Ning Suanzao suddenly became obedient and honest, not only did not act wildly at Zhu Shibang, but even blushed at him from a distance.Not long after Zhu Shibang entered the office, Ning Suanzao retreated with his family.The yard was in a mess, with paper ashes scattered and scraps of paper flying around.The left-behind township secretary ran in and asked, "They're gone, what about the tent?" "What do you think, withdraw it and send it back to her!" Zhu Shibang didn't send the fire to Ning Suanzao, he sent it to the secretary.He knew why Ning Suanzao had slipped away. While he was being criticized, Hong Guangda was scolded thunderously by the two leaders of the provincial department in another room. Zhu Shibang is clear about Ning Suanzao and Hong Guangda.Since he lived in the same village as Chu Fayun, he never pierced the window paper.But there's no need to poke it now, the dead Chu Fayun probably didn't know that his little stone had nothing to do with him at all.I hope Hong Guangda can still hold some conscience and don't let the mother and son suffer. The township secretary led people to evacuate the tent, Zhu Shibang wiped his face, changed into clean clothes, wanted to drink a glass of water, but found that the glass was gone, the thermos bottle was gone, and Ning Suanzao's natal family was overwhelmed in the house. "This bunch of good-for-nothings." He cursed and walked out. He was anxious to see Hu Erkui, and he wanted to find out what happened to those people who were taken away. On the way, I ran into Gua Yangzi who hurriedly walked with his head down. Gua Yangzi didn't seem to see him, and was eager to jump past him.He yelled, Gua Yangzi stood down, looked up and saw him, and immediately shouted in a startled voice: "Secretary Zhu, it's not good, my father-in-law, my father-in-law..." "What's wrong with him?" Zhu Shibang was surprised. "He fainted in Badaosha, I can't carry it back." Gua Yangzi was about to cry when he said that, Zhu Shibang grabbed him and said, "Go quickly." The two went to Badaosha. At this time, Hu Erkui, the secretary of the village party committee, was leading people on the well. This well is also strange. It was still able to get water a few days ago, but a gust of wind wiped out the water.Right now there is no drinking water in the village, so we have to find ways to get water out quickly.The well was far away from the village, and it was on the side of Shaliangzi. When Gua Yangzi was in a hurry, he ran to the township government first. Gua Yangzi's father-in-law is Chen Jiasheng, a hero of sand control, his deeds have been published in the newspapers in the city, and Chen Yan has also interviewed him, but the old man has a very stubborn temper and does not easily deal with people who eat official meals.After his son Chen Xiwa was taken away, the old man changed even more. He didn't say a word for a few days, and he wanted to eat the food that Gua Yangzi sent him.Let him go home, shaking his head even more.Most of the time, he would just squat on the sand beams like that, staring at the sky with a soft expression.When the sandstorm broke out, Hu Erkui was thinking about him, and sent seventy-two people away, saying that he would bring him back.As a result, he took the shovel and beat the seventy-two back. This old man is a weird person, if Gua Yangzi hadn't been filial, and would go to see him every day, he might not know if he would be buried in the sand one day. When Zhu Shibang arrived at Badaosha, several women who had heard Xin'er had already carried Chen Jiasheng onto the carriage and were about to pull it back.Zhu Shibang touched the old man's nose, he was still breathing, but his face was burning like fire, so he knew that the old man had a cold.In this fickle sky, and sleeping in the ground, it's no wonder that I don't catch a cold.Fortunately, it was not as dangerous as Guayangzi Road said, Zhu Shibang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Hurry up and send it to the township hospital, this old iron man, fortunately, he can withstand this storm." Zheng Fengshi, the director of the flow pipe department, never left Shahu at all.He was at the flow tube when the fight happened.This is the news that Lin Yawen inquired about afterwards. There are a total of three courtyards at the flow pipe. The middle courtyard is the office area of ​​the management office. The courtyard reflects the elegance and beauty of Jiangnan forest gardens, and was once a major scene of Shahu Lake.To the south is the family area, all small two-story buildings, each with a small courtyard, simple and practical.The courtyard to the north is the Engineering Department. When the flow pipe was on fire, there was really a lot of traffic here.Every year, large and small projects are no less than 50 million yuan. In addition to cooperation projects in other river basins and international aid projects, the engineering department is full of money. The engineering teams in the surrounding villages want to take a job. Whether they can enter this compound will make a difference key.At that time, Zheng Fengshi was just an ordinary technician, but in the hearts of the farmers, his power was boundless. If he said that he had to rework, he had to rework, and if he said that he was not qualified, he would not get paid.The farmers secretly gave him a nickname: Iron Rooster.It means that he is too stingy, with so much money in his pocket, but haggling with the peasant engineering team, it is more difficult to get him to sign than to find the engineering director.Times have changed, and the technician in his twenties has now become the general manager of the second largest watershed in the province, but the common people no longer ask him to sign, because as early as five years ago, the engineering department disintegrated due to lack of work, and only A pile of scrap metal and 500 unemployed workers were left behind.The yard was sold to Hong Guangda long before the disintegration of the engineering agency, and became Hong Guangda's head office.In the past two years, common people secretly gave Zheng Fengshi another nickname: Iron Broom.It means that if he sweeps this iron broom, the green of the desert will be gone. On the night of the fighting in Nanhu, Zheng Fengshi was in his own small second floor in the South Courtyard.Lin Yawen went in that building not long after she came to the county as acting county magistrate. That meeting was of extraordinary significance to the two of them. Up to now, Lin Yawen's mind is still full of the details of that day. The wind was very warm that day, and the sun was so bright that it made people feel itchy.Lin Yawen and Zheng Fengshi haven't seen each other since they left university.It's not that there are no opportunities, there are many opportunities, but I just haven't seen them.On Lin Yawen's side, she didn't dare to see each other. She was afraid that once they met, they would never want to part again.Even though she knew that the two of them would never have a chance to get back together, and would never get back together again, in Lin Yawen's heart, she couldn't stop pulling at the once thriving, crazy and green emotional vines.After all, that large area of ​​branches is the first time her girlish feelings are fully opened, and it is also the first time as a woman that she has carved out a piece of green in her heart for the man she admires, and let it be unrestrained, let it overflow, That's why so many intricate, dense, inseparable and inseparable vines grew in her ignorant heart at once.The glass tank of her first love suddenly shattered, and the clear water that allowed her to breathe and dance freely was spilled. When she was thrown onto the cold concrete floor like a fish, she suddenly didn't know that the sky was in the sky. Where, where is the green space, and where is the river?After these years of separation, Lin Yawen was slowly getting used to the life on the shore. She swore that she would never fall into the water again, even if it was a tank that was so delicate, transparent, warm and unique, she would not put herself in it. In other words, her emotional life has gone to the other side, rough, concise, pragmatic, and even slightly numb.Fortunately, she didn't die trapped in that well, and Hao Lai walked into the forest of feelings again, although this time she walked a little helplessly and desolately, but after all, she left. With messy thoughts, Lin Yawen also had a little hostility, a little nostalgia, and a little expectation for Zheng Fengshi... she walked into the flow management department, and walked into the small second floor of Director Zheng Da's building.The strange thing is that the reunion after many years turned out to be so dull, so indifferent, not as romantic and tender as imagined, what should be born did not come out, and what shouldn't come out didn't come out either.In the end, the two of them acted in a business-like manner, with their attitude and tone, as if they met every day and even quarreled about something yesterday. This meeting made Lin Yawen's heart blocked for a long time, and she couldn't get rid of it. She felt that time had pulled something down, and pulled it to a certain position in the years. If she wanted to find it, she would have to work hard and pull time go back. That day Lin Yawen came to beg Zheng Fengshi. She was forced by money, and when she first arrived in Shahu, she encountered a money crisis. She wanted to try her luck with Zheng Fengshi to see if she could help her overcome the difficulties. The layout of the small second floor was simpler and poorer than Lin Yawen imagined. Lin Yawen asked in surprise, "Why, pretending to be a clean government in the desert?" Zheng Fengshi smiled, his smile was no longer the same color as before. A piece of stained by the years, and that kind of thing called vicissitudes.Zheng Fengshi was not surprised by her arrival at all, as if he had calculated that she would come to the door, he said while pouring water: "Corruption will not be in this poor place." The two just chatted for a few words, and looked at each other He glanced at the other party, but that look was no longer called a look, it really wasn't.What's the name? Lin Yawen thought for a long time, but couldn't think of an appropriate word. Later, Lin Yawen told about the loan. Zheng Fengshi stood up from the sofa and stared at her with a strange look: "Do you really think I'm a corrupt person, opening my mouth so wide?" Lin Yawen forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm corrupt or not. With the Disciplinary Committee in charge, I have no choice but to go to such a poor county in a daze, and I want to let go of it, but who knows that my buttocks have not yet settled down, and I am surrounded by teachers who are begging for wages." He said. So he told about the fact that Shahu County was in arrears with the teacher's salary for ten months, and asked Zheng Fengshi to help her no matter what, so that she could tide over this difficulty and stand firm first. "Are you afraid that the National People's Congress will not be able to pass, and the code in front of the county magistrate will not be removed?" Zheng Fengshi was indeed Zheng Fengshi, and he really hit the nail on the head with his words.After many years, he still speaks so mercilessly, and his temper has not changed at all. In Lin Yawen's heart, it seems that she has a new opinion on this classmate whom she has not seen for a long time.Seeing that her face was slightly flushed and she became uncomfortable, Zheng Fengshi said again: "It's best if you can't take it off, listen to me, go back home as soon as possible, don't show off your ability." "Why?" Lin Yawen was confused. She thought that Zheng Fengshi would encourage her and comfort her, but she didn't expect him to speak like this. "No reason, if you are told to go back, you can go back. Shahu is not something that people like you can do." "What's wrong with a person like me? Director Zheng, are you talking too meanly?" Lin Yawen suddenly became unhappy, and her smiling face just now suddenly became gloomy.Seeing her angry, Zheng Fengshi smiled, ignored her words, walked to the window, stared at the scenery outside and remained silent. Lin Yawen was angry for a while, and felt that she was narrow-minded and had nothing to do with Zheng Fengshi.Then he also came to the window and looked out.There is actually no scenery outside the window, except for a few crooked neck trees and a large weedy field in the yard.But Zheng Fengshi seemed to have a lot of fun watching it.Lin Yawen sighed, and turned her gaze back to Zheng Fengshi's face. She found that this face was very strange, and there were many things written on it that she couldn't understand.Some of them were written over the years, and some were written by him himself. She studied this face carefully for a while, and suddenly found that it was not only tired, but also confused, escaping, and things that should not belong to him. Why is this so?He is not a pessimistic person! "Go back, Yawen, listen to my advice, go to the province and sit in your office." Zheng Fengshi suddenly said again.Zheng Fengshi's words this time were much gentler and more considerate. Lin Yawen felt his sincerity and worry.She seemed to be moved, and said with an inquiring tone: "The common people didn't drive me away, but you did. Is this like you back then?" "I didn't chase you away, Yawen, listen to me, you may have too high expectations for Shahu, I'm afraid..." When Zheng Fengshi returned to the sofa, he didn't know which string was in his mind. He told her very seriously for a long time, from the ups and downs of the flow tube to the worrisome prospects of Shahu County, and then he talked about the relationship between the two people. After half a lifetime of gains and losses, I finally said: "You and I are not suitable for being an official, but I have given up my major and strayed into the official career. I have no way out. I can only resign myself to fate. You can't. It is best to go back now and do your research with peace of mind. It can be regarded as worthy of the brothers and sisters back then and the master who had high hopes for you and me." Zheng Fengshi was right. Their teacher, the most prestigious forestry scientist in Northwest China, refused to allow them to stop here and enter the society. Instead, he insisted on asking them to take the postgraduate entrance examination and become his disciples.Unexpectedly, a sudden change in love completely disrupted the lives of the two, and at the same time shattered their illusions about the future and life.Lin Yawen didn't want to stay on campus for a day, and Zheng Fengshi also wanted to escape from this troublesome place as soon as possible.Moreover, both of them are determined not to do empty studies in the ivory tower, and they are eager to rush to the society. As for what to do when they go in, no one has thought about it, and there is no time to think about it. Looking at it now, after listening to the teacher's words, maybe life is another scene, but what's the use of saying these things at this time? Lin Yawen smiled in relief, she didn't want to put herself in the memory, the memory was sometimes painful, and sometimes it was boring.The road of life has never been possible, and choosing also means giving up, leaving is walking, and there is never the possibility of returning to the starting point.Besides, she couldn't care less about reminiscing about the old days or lamenting about life at this time. She was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. If she couldn't borrow money, the teachers in the whole county would go on strike.This is not a joke, nor is it to scare her with words. Teachers in two school districts have already stopped teaching. If the teachers really join forces to play such a show for her, her political future will come to an abrupt end here. .Lin Yawen was not reconciled, since she came down, she vowed to make a career in Shahu County.She is a woman who never gives up. She has been sitting in the forestry department for six years, and she is a little tired and a little lost.As soon as the environment changed, the heat in her heart seemed to come back quickly. "Tell me, should I borrow it or not?" "Do you think I'm a gold mine? To tell you the truth, the wages of my employees haven't been settled yet." Zheng Fengshi said. "What?" Lin Yawen was shocked.At that time, she didn't know the real situation at the flow tube, and thought that Zheng Fengshi was joking with her. "It's true, my employees haven't been paid for half a year." Zheng Fengshi told her seriously. "What's going on, isn't it the same turmoil in the past two years?" Zheng Fengshi smiled: "Have you heard the story of a multimillionaire who collapsed overnight? Besides, the flow pipe is not a multimillionaire. It is a dried tree with green leaves and a dead trunk." Zheng Fengshi The words seemed a bit sad, but he didn't hide it from Lin Yawen that day, and told all the difficulties encountered by the flow tube. It was only then that Lin Yawen knew that Zheng Fengshi's life was not easier than hers at all, and the flow management office was indeed in a difficult situation, no wonder there was always such a layer of gray depression in his eyes. Lin Yawen really didn't get any money that time, and later she learned from other sources that the development of the flow management department had entered a dead end, let alone asking Zheng Fengshi to help the county through the difficulties, he might not be able to deal with his own difficulties.Fortunately, there are few people in the flow control department, and they are all accustomed to the market rules. The tolerance of the employees is stronger than that of the county cadres, and Zheng Fengshi can show that security. Lin Yawen felt sad for a while, half of this sadness was for Zheng Fengshi, and half was for the once glorious Liuguan Department. In the face of reform, those once brilliant and dazzling things always have to be shattered first, and it is inevitable that some people will be pushed to the forefront first to bear the huge pressure brought by the reform.Lin Yawen couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, she just felt that this reality was too cruel and heavy. In those days, Lin Yawen ran around for money, ran all the connections, but the teacher's salary still hadn't been settled. Half a month passed, and the time she promised the teachers was getting closer, but the money seemed to grow on other people's money. She could smell the aroma of a bunch of peaches on the family tree, but she couldn't pick them.The situation frustrates her.When she was at a loss, Zheng Fengshi called suddenly, saying that there was five million yuan, and she would first borrow the county to transfer it, and the deadline was half a year.Lin Yawen couldn't believe it.Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for the five million emergency, which eased the teacher's conflict, it would be hard to say whether the code word on Lin Yawen's head could be removed. The tree grows tall, and soon stands out in Shahu County, where local cadres have always had the final say.What she has done in the past two years can be regarded as a dark horse in the history of Shahu, and she is in the limelight, and she is likely to overwhelm the secretary Qi Maolin. Lin Yawen found out later that the money was allocated by the Provincial Water Conservancy Department to provide for the pension of the employees.At that time, the reform of the Flow Management Office had been put on the agenda, and the plan of the provincial government was to pay off the arrears of employee pensions in one go, and the rest of the conflicts would be resolved by the Flow Management Office itself.Unexpectedly, the money was turned around once a week, so it was too late to pay it back, and the plan of the provincial department was disrupted. For this reason, Zheng Fengshi received a lot of criticism from above. It was reported that the above wanted to dismiss him several times, but they couldn't find a suitable one for a while. The person who chose to take over this mess has repeatedly delayed the reform of the flow management department.On Lin Yawen's side, until now, she still couldn't afford to pay back the remaining two million. How can you be happy?The county owed teachers another four months' wages, and the salaries of party and government cadres couldn't be guaranteed. Lin Yawen had experienced what it was like to have no money. After the bloody battle in Nanhu, Zheng Fengshi did not jump out like '121' and ran to the province or county, nor did he hide in an unknown place like Hu Erkui said.He is at home, practicing calligraphy behind closed doors.Zheng Fengshi likes calligraphy. As early as in college, he learned from the famous calligrapher Xie Hanyun Xie Lao. After graduating from college, he has already emerged in the northwest calligraphy circle. In recent years, he has gained a little reputation in the calligraphy circle of this province. There are occasional fans from the south or Hong Kong. Come here to ask for words.When something goes wrong, he shuts himself in a shabby room to relieve his worries.The provincial government and the city jointly held an on-site meeting. Although Zheng Fengshi attended the meeting, he didn't say a word, and the boss of the development company said everything.Lin Yawen questioned him at the meeting at that time, the smell of gunpowder was very strong, she didn't expect him to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and ignored Lin Yawen's complaints at all. Lin Yawen now understands that Zheng Fengshi is playing the game of escape from the shell of the golden cicada, leaving all the conflicts to the development company, letting Lin Yawen confront the wealthy and unreasonable boss Hong, while he himself sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. After the meeting, Lin Yawen approached him twice, wanting to question him face to face, why did he do this, and what problems couldn't he sit down and talk about?It's a pity that she failed to see Zheng Fengshi twice, but the secretary wearing glasses at the streaming management office told her that Zheng Fengshi had gone to Xinjiang, and he couldn't explain exactly what he was doing. As soon as he returned to the county, Qi Maolin presided over a standing committee to urgently study the aftermath of the Nanhu incident. The meeting was quite dull, and the members of the Standing Committee were all sullen and silent. '121'事件发生后，县上形成了两派意见，一派对流管处意见很大，认为流管处的做法严重破坏了沙湖县的发展环境，破坏了沙湖县安定团结的大好局面，应该向省上反映，并坚决予以制止。另一派则显得温和，主张不应该把两家的关系搞僵，至于那几千亩林地，认为产权属于流管处，县上无权干涉。两派意见祁茂林都不赞成，毁林的确可恶，但简单的抗议与闹事解决不了任何问题。祁茂林主张沟通，主张在双方能形成共识的基础上解决问题。为此他跟郑奉时谈过几次，郑奉时的话令他感慨万端，大家都处在改革时期，各自面临的难题既相同又不同。流域毁林是为了重新改造，大片闲置的林地的确没有效益，如果将它改造成棉花基地或是养殖场，不但能解决大批职工的就业，说不定还能形成新的产业，带动沙湖经济的发展。作为县委书记，祁茂林做梦都想让沙湖出现新的经济增长点。他认真看过流管处的改革方案，对流管处提出的青土湖创建棉产业基地，南湖创建种养加一条龙的西北养殖基地很感兴趣，要知道，沙湖县的羊只很有优势，但县上缺乏资金投入，没法帮农民形成产业优势。如果借开发公司的力能把沙湖的种草业和养殖业发展起来，那么县上的财政状况将大为改观。 在流管处改革方案论证会上，祁茂林代表县上是举过拳头的，也就是说他当时并没反对毁林。可'121'事件一下子让他被动了，他被水利厅领导骂成是出尔反尔，明里支持，暗中作梗，是把本来就举步维艰的流管处再往火山口上推。祁茂林没法跟人家解释。南湖事件再次让他尴尬，这些天他成了众矢之的，整天被方方面面的舆论指责着，批评着。一方面要求他顾全大局，做出局部牺牲，支持流管处的改革。另一方面，又强烈要求他爱林护林，保护生态，为沙湖的子孙后代着想。一时之间，他真是不知该咋个走路了，两面的呼声都很高，两面的呼声也都有道理，他夹在中间，像风箱里的老鼠，只有受气的份，哪有还口的机会？会议之前，他又接到省水利厅冯厅长的电话，要求他旗帜鲜明地站出来，支持流管处的改革，不要给流管处的改革设置障碍。他跟冯厅长算是老关系，冯又是他的老上级，冯的前景他更是清楚，这种时候，他不能不考虑这个因素。尽管他已老了，再也没有升迁的可能，但不升迁并不表明你可以为所欲为，不遵从某种规则。 对一个老县委书记来说，他知道规则意味着什么。有时候，规则就是一切！ 他能给冯添乱么？给流管处添乱，说白了就是给冯添乱。冯能允许他添这种乱？ 冯在政治上的野心，还有铁腕手段，他比谁都领教得多！ 可这些，他怎么在会上讲？ 思来想去，他从寻求沙湖县新的经济增长点这一角度，讲了几点意见，话还没说完，就遭到林雅雯的反驳。林雅雯这一次是豁了出来，真有点逮谁咬谁的味儿。她在会上提出一个尖锐的问题：大规模发展养殖业和种草业是以水资源为根本的，水从哪来，总不能再疯狂开采地下水吧？ 这话把祁茂林给问住了。为了保护沙漠水资源，县上曾按照省市的部署，关停或填埋过不少机井，后来农民意见太大，县上又无力补偿，关井压田暂时停了下来。但这个问题必须解决，目前沙湖县的年地下水开采量，占全流域地下水开采量的百分之七十还多，沙湖县大规模掘井采水，已危及到整个流域。如果再次容许流管处大量开采地下水，岂不是自己打自己的嘴巴？ “那你说咋办？”祁茂林把目光投向林雅雯。对自己的这个副手，祁茂林心里真是感慨万端，坦率地说，他是尊重她的，这个来自省城机关的年轻女性的确能干，到沙湖后帮他解决了不少难题，为此他很感谢她，如果没有林雅雯，他的日子会难过许多，毕竟，下派干部比起他们这些“土特产”来，优势大得多，工作思路也开阔得多。还有，她是女的，按说干工作跟男女没关，但在实际工作当中，你就会发现，男女就是不一样。班子里多出这么一位又漂亮又精干的女性，一个班子都能活跃起来。祁茂林特意做过观察，不论是下基层还是县上开会，只要林雅雯在场，气氛一准能活跃，有时班子里争执不下的事，大家下意识地，就等她发表意见。只要她的意见不是太离谱，一准能通过。 有这么一位年轻女性做搭档，是件幸事。祁茂林自己也承认，工作当中，有意无意地，他在让着她，也在呵护着她。不能让她受委屈，这是他给自己定的一个准则。有些事明明理不在她这边，祁茂林也会礼让三分。这不是什么不健康的心理，祁茂林自以为做得很坦荡，其实不只是他，包括市委孙涛书记，对她，也是另眼相看。尽管孙涛书记从来嘴上不说，但他能感觉出。 男人啊，谁没个怜香惜玉的心理，况且这香也该怜，这玉也该惜。可惜，一个'121'，便把他们这种友好共处的和谐关系给打破了。 '121'后，林雅雯像是变了，变得让祁茂林琢磨不透，有时觉得她特单纯，心里压根就没多少弯子，有时呢，又觉她哪根神经，飘飘忽忽的，不好把握。提意见祁茂林不怕，公开吵他也不怕，干工作，怕提意见还行，怕吵还行？他祁茂林这辈子，吵过争过的，还少？要是都去计较，怕心胸早就给堵死了。他怕的是，她跟你脑子里想得不一致，她会把自己的想法藏起来，不跟你明说，具体事情上，她又强迫着让你跟着她的想法走。尽管眼下还不能判定林雅雯藏了什么，但几次会上的不和谐已在提醒他，她的脑子里有了别的想法。 “我目前考虑得还不是太成熟，但胡杨乡的问题绝不是单纯保护住几片林子这么简单，我提醒大家，要从长远着想，要往极度困难处着想，就算流管处不毁林，我们的村民能不能在那儿长久地生存？大家可以去沙漠水库看看，今年的存水量有多少，确保农作物增收可以说是句空话！” 林雅雯说的是大实话，她道出了大家的远虑，常委们听了，全都心情沉重起来。祁茂林担心这样开下去会议有可能走题，便用商量的口吻说：“太深层次的问题我们先不谈，眼下还是统一思想，想想怎么把目前的难关渡过去。” 林雅雯这次没跟祁茂林较劲，她说：“我的意见是分两步走，第一步着眼于当前，把南湖、北湖还有青土湖的问题合并起来，县上拿出意见，再跟流管处协商，协商不成，请市上跟水利厅协商。总之，不能因为流管处改革艰难，就无条件地让步，现在不是谁支持谁的问题，而是整个流域如何生存如何发展的问题。当然，对这次事件中构成犯罪的，一定要治罪，无论牵扯到谁，都不能包庇和纵容。我还是那句话，绝不能以非法手段解决矛盾，这样会让问题的性质发生根本性改变。在这次事件中我们也应该吸取教训，要积极帮群众做好思想转变，给他们一个满意的答复。第二步，要从长远着想，要把县上的发展跟胡杨河流域的发展结合起来，拿出一个富有战略性的远景规划，争取得到省上或中央的支持。胡杨河流域是考验我们工作作风和为民办实事的一个跨世纪工程，我们要对得起沙湖县三十万人民，对得起我们手中的权力！”林雅雯的声音很是激动，这番话，一直埋在心底，没有机会讲出来，现在她不能不说了。 祁茂林什么也没说，只是默默地点了点头。 要说这番话，对他的触动最大。他总算清楚，林雅雯开始触及到深层次问题了。他不知道这是好事还是坏事，但她能坦率讲出来，他还是很感激她。 会议最后讨论对胡杨乡领导的处理意见，林雅雯坚决要求将朱世帮停职，常委们有几个表了态，有几个低住头，在牵扯到人的事情上，这几个常委总是用沉默来说话。 祁茂林拿出一张纸，说不用撤职了，朱世帮同志已主动提出辞职，他向县委检讨了自己的错误。林雅雯忽然就噤了声。 这消息太意外了！ 鉴于朱世帮本人坚决辞职，会议最后决定，由王树林同志担任胡杨乡党委书记，朱世帮同志暂时留在胡杨乡，听候相关部门的调查。 两天后，林雅雯陪同县委组织部两名同志，前往胡杨乡。本来她可以不凑这热闹，班子调整这类事，由组织部的同志去宣布就行。但她还是忍不住来了。一则，朱世帮主动请辞对她触动很大，不是每个人都有这种姿态的，她不能不来，来了，也是她的一种姿态。另则，她也想跟朱世帮认真交谈一次，了解他的真实想法。这两年，她有个遗憾，就是跟朱世帮交流的太少。怎么说呢，如今像朱世帮这样的乡镇干部，真是太少，林雅雯相信，朱世帮脑子里，一定是有很多想法的，特别是对胡杨乡下一步的发展还有整个流域的治理，林雅雯太想从他那里获得启示。朱世帮尽管被停职，但这只是暂时的，也有迫不得已的苦衷，内心里，林雅雯还是希望他能到更重要的工作岗位上。这是一个有思想有抱负更有责任感的男人，错只错在工作方法上，对他的下一步安排，林雅雯更有自己的打算，她在会上所以三番五次跟祁茂林唱反调，就是怕祁茂林借调整的名，将这块好钢错用在刀背上。 发现一块好钢不容易啊，甭看这沙湖县基层官员众多，可真正敢为老百姓舍身说话忘我办事的，有几个呢？要是再不珍惜再不保护，就是莫大的罪过了。 揣着诸多感慨，林雅雯来到胡杨乡，谁知车子还没拐上通往乡政府的那条便道，就又让村民们围堵住了。 带头的，还是村支书胡二魁。 看见林雅雯下车，胡二魁第一个走过来，粗声大气地质问道：“凭啥把朱书记撤了，你把好官给撤了，安的啥心？”七十二几个也紧跟着围过来，七嘴八舌，吵嚷起来。 林雅雯对胡二魁的态度吃了一惊，上次还缩头缩脑的胡二魁，怎么忽然像换了个人。等听清是为朱世帮喊冤，林雅雯心里有了底，她平静地说：“他是不是好官，不是你们说了算，组织会有结论。” “组织，组织是个啥？方的圆的，我看不着！”七十二向来是个油腔滑调的人，大约仗着有胡二魁撑腰，今天说话的口气格外硬，边说话边做出一个比划的动作，边上的人被他逗笑了，爆出一片哄笑声。林雅雯心里不高兴，但她努力忍着，这个时候是万万不能发火的。在群众中间发火，是最最愚蠢的一种工作作风。除非这火你必须发，不发就有可能控制不住局势。能忍的时候，忍是上策。 “还说组织哩，就是你，成心跟朱书记过不去，说，凭啥撤了他？”刘骆驼本来是个很老实的人，这一天，他的表现也颇为突出，拿着一根红柳条，指住林雅雯，满脸恶意地质问。 林雅雯望了一眼黑瘦的刘骆驼，没吭声，七十二和刘骆驼一说话，她就清楚，这是提前合计好的，胡二魁想拿这两个人激怒她，只有激怒了她，其他群众才好起哄。群众一起哄，胡二魁的目的就达到了。村支书们的想法，看似复杂，其实，却很简单。毕竟，他们都是些本分老实的庄稼汉。 你想激怒我，我偏不怒！林雅雯冷冷地将目光转向胡二魁：“让你的人走开，今天不是谈论这事的时候。” “走不走开由不了我，我已不是支书了。”胡二魁怪腔怪调地说道。 “什么？”林雅雯暗自一惊，不明白胡二魁这话的意思。 “你撤了朱书记，胡支书也不想干了，他辞职了！”七十二扯上嗓子道。 “不光胡支书一个，乡上一半支书辞职了，这下你满意了吧？”刘骆驼的声音更高。 “胡闹！”这下轮到林雅雯发急了，她的确没想到，处理朱世帮，会引来这么多连锁反应，“王树林呢，叫你们王乡长来。”见众人围堵着车，一时半会走不开，林雅雯冲七十二说。 “我管他王乡长还是马乡长，我们就认朱书记，今天把丑话说前头，真的敢撤掉朱书记，你就别想打这沙窝里回去。” “对，把话说清楚，朱书记做下啥错事了，县上凭啥要撤他？”人群又跟着吵起来，叫嚷声响成一片。组织部许副部长一看阵势，就急着跟乡上打电话，偏巧这儿信号又不好，她能听到对方的喂喂声，对方却听不到她说话。 林雅雯心想，今天这场面，急也是闲的，一下两下不可能对付得了，村民们明显是有备而来，莫不如趁此机会，跟村民们多磨一阵，说不定还能磨出点什么来。她索性走到路边，不慌不忙地找一块石头坐下，望住胡二魁。 胡二魁脸上，挂着一层得意，他的确已向乡党委打了口头报告，说不干了，这号冤大头，没当头，不如安安分分当个农民，种自己的地，养活自家老婆，那些树，谁爱砍砍去，关他屁事！他一打报告，胡杨乡五个村的支部书记跟着也打报告，等于是向乡党委示威。 林雅雯尽管还不知道详细情况，但从胡二魁脸上，她看出一股子不祥。这朱世帮在胡杨，真成了一棵树啊，根深叶茂，这树一动，下面的枝枝叶叶就全动了。 正想着，乡长王树林慌慌张张跑来，边跑边骂道：“胡老二，你个混蛋，敢拦县长的车，我看你是不想活了。” 胡二魁窃窃一笑，冲七十二挤了个眼神。七十二猛地跑过去，拦在王树林面前。 “七十二，你个狼吃，想做啥？” “不做啥，王乡长，不，王书记，你请回，今儿个，我们跟林县长说说，没你的事。” “反了你了？让开！”王树林猛喝一声，吓得七十二往后一趔，王树林紧忙奔过来：“林县长，对不住啊，我刚到乡上，怎么着，他们没敢胡言乱语吧？” 林雅雯没接这个话题，见王树林满头大汗，问：“你从哪来？” “还说哩，这帮没心没肺的，早不撂晚不撂，偏在这节骨眼上撂挑子。眼下庄稼要浇二轮水，人家的支书天天找水管处，他们倒好，跟我尥蹶子。” “活该！”七十二抢过话，讥笑道：“你以为书记那么好当啊？有本事，你就学朱书记，头一个把水给我们要来。” “七十二你个狼吃，你妈肚子疼得在卫生所打滚，你倒好，跑路上来撒野，看这事完了，我咋个收拾你？” 七十二一听，瞪大了眼睛：“你胡说，我妈昨儿个还好好的，你敢咒我妈？” “昨儿个？我说你小子还是人不？昨儿个好，今儿就肚子不痛了？还愣着做啥，快往县医院送，我咋看着像急性肠炎。” 七十二让王树林的话吓着了，掉头就往村里跑。昨晚他没回家，跟宋二蛤蟆几个打牌打到了天亮，太阳影子冒时，刘骆驼到宋二蛤蟆家喊他们，说是商量事儿哩，七十二脸也没洗就去了刘骆驼家。他妈今年六十三岁了，没固定在谁家里，弟兄五个轮流着养，一人家里住两个月，这些日子正好在他家，要是有个啥闪失，四个哥哥还不把他吃掉？ 七十二的两个哥哥也拔腿跑了。 片刻的骚乱后，人群原又静下来，王树林一看胡二魁拿腔作势地坐在一边看景致，火气猛就上来了：“胡老二，把你的人带走，今天的事，我不跟你算帐，但我把丑话说前头，要是地里少浇一滴水，旱掉一棵苗，损失你给我全赔！” 胡二魁没说话，老实巴交的刘骆驼却插了嘴：“你吓唬谁啊，人家不干了，你找有本事的要水去。” “你——”王树林恶恶地瞪住刘骆驼，想骂，话在嘴边绕了一个圈，没骂出来。 “到底怎么回事？”林雅雯这才问。 “你问他。”王树林望住胡二魁说。林雅雯发现，胡二魁对王树林，远没对朱世帮那么尊重。王树林气得嗓子里冒烟，胡二魁呢，却摆出一副看笑话的样子。 “二魁，到底怎么回事？”林雅雯从地上站起，目光再次转向胡二魁。 “没啥子，不想干了。”胡二魁懒洋洋地道。 “你敢！”王树林叫了一声。林雅雯止住王树林，继续问：“原因呢，就是因了朱世帮？” “你说的没错，朱书记不干，我们谁都辞职。”胡二魁回答得很干脆。在林雅雯面前，他没一丝儿怕，甚至还带有某种仇视。林雅雯听完，掉头跟王树林说：“不想干的，一律批，辞几个批几个，我就不信胡杨乡五万多人，挑不出几个带头的。” 王树林没想到林雅雯会这样说，而且当着胡二魁的面，一时有些结巴，眼神怪怪的盯她脸上，不知道该不该表态。 林雅雯偷偷斜了胡二魁一眼，发现胡二魁的脸色有点僵，刚才还天不怕地不怕一副无所畏惧的样，这阵儿，脖子缩住了。 “有你这么当县长的吗，人家一辞你就给批，这成啥了？”刘骆驼急了，扑上来说。 “骆驼，滚一边去，还没你说话的份。”王树林怕村民们再次起哄，厉声制止刘骆驼。林雅雯却说：“我这县长就这脾气，谁想给我脸子，我的脸子比他还难看呢。”说完，理也不理胡二魁，抬腿就往人群外面走。人群刚要合拢，王树林的骂就响起来：“哪个敢拦，没法没天了？回去，庄稼眼看晒死了，你们倒有闲心跑来凑这热闹？” 村民们最终还是被王树林喝退了，在胡杨乡，王树林尽管威信没朱世帮高，但也绝不至于喝不住村民。加上他从医院出来没几天，头上还裹着纱布哩，上次挨了洪老板手下的打，反倒成了好事，一下拉近了他跟村民们的感情。 林雅雯这才来到乡上。 一进乡政府院子，王树林就说：“林县，不会真同意他们辞职吧，别人能辞，胡二魁辞不得，他一辞，沙湾村就放羊了。” “谁同意让他辞职了？”林雅雯反问。 王树林傻呵呵望住林雅雯：“你刚才……” “我说你是真糊涂还是假糊涂，刚才那话你也信？”林雅雯真是服了他了，说他老实，他还真老实得连气也不通了。这个榆木疙瘩，啥时候才能开窍？ 王树林总算是明白了林雅雯的意思，连拍几下脑袋，懊丧地说：“看我这脑瓜子，笨死了。” 乡上的会很快召开，一听县委真要任命他为书记，王树林突然叫了起来：“不行，这绝不行，朱书记说啥也不能走，他一走，这工作，我干不了。” “谁说让他走了？”林雅雯打断他，她就担心这一点，下面的人都说，王树林是朱世帮的影子，看来这话一点没错。王树林习惯了跟在朱世帮后面跑堂子的日子，一旦让他挑大梁，弱势就显了出来。 “不让他走就让他接着干书记，这书记我当不了。”王树林又说。 “怎么，你也要撂挑子是不？”林雅雯忽地就来了气，别的乡都是乡长赶着让书记走，好早一天坐到一把手位子上，这儿倒好，乡长硬是拉着不让书记走。 “不是我撂挑子，林县，胡杨乡情况特殊，朱书记走了真不成。”王树林说得很诚恳。 “有多特殊，我就不信离了他朱世帮地球不转了？老王你别再讨价还价，县上做出这样的决定，也不是拿胡杨乡当儿戏
