Chapter 10 chapter Ten

Fan Dongyang called several times, all talking about Zaolin's experience.After he returned to Jingdu, he never forgot Zaolin Village, and some new ideas would pop up at any time, so he called.Zhu Huaijing couldn't sit still anymore, so he had to go to Mashan to squat for a few days. He originally wanted to stay clean and not disturb the Mashan County Party Committee, so he went to Zaolin Village for two days to do some investigation and research.Think about it and feel wrong.Yu Mingwu and Yin Zhengdong will know after all, and they will have ideas.Maybe there will be news from the "Meiji Daily" about his private interview on Weibo.The political ideals of ordinary people are naturally romantic, and they will say that Umeji has become an upright official again. I am afraid that some classical stories will be perfunctory in people's word of mouth, such as the punishment of unjust imprisonment and the punishment of corrupt officials.People in the officialdom have seen too many tricks, and they will only say that he is putting on a show.It doesn't matter what the common people say is good or bad, they are only afraid of gossip in the officialdom.He really wanted to visit villages and households, preferably staying at a farmhouse for a night or two.I think that I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and I keep doing research and research, but I have always only listened to reports from leaders at all levels, and I have never really heard a word from ordinary people.After pondering over and over again, I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.Zaolin Village is still going, and Yu Mingwu also told him.You don't need to be accompanied by leaders from the county, just invite those talented scholars who wrote materials to go.

Yu Mingwu answered the phone and quickly said: "Secretary Zhu, listen to my report, or let me accompany you to Zaolin Village, hold a symposium, see a few farmers, and live in the county. The conditions in the countryside are still difficult. We can't bear to let you live in a peasant's house." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Why can't I, Zhu, live in a farmer's house? I am the son of a farmer. Mingwu, you are also a countryman. I know that there are more mosquitoes in the countryside now, and everything else is fine. " Yu Mingwu also wanted to dissuade him, saying: "Secretary Zhu, Zaolin Village is not far from the county, and living in the county will not affect your research work. Let me tell you, Secretary Zhu, just accept Mingwu's suggestion."

Zhu Huaijing said: "Mingwu, don't worry about it. I am a rural person, and I am used to living in the country. I can afford food and lodging. I am not a millionaire, so there is no security problem. You can do whatever you want, and I am here After staying in Zaolin, I will go to the county to meet you." Zhu Huaijing insisted on living in the countryside, so Yu Mingwu didn't dare to say more.Zhu Huaijing called at night, and rushed to Zaolin Village early the next morning.Only the secretary Zhao Yipu and the driver Yang Chong accompanied him, and they didn't let the news unit know.

After driving for less than an hour, they entered the jujube producing area of ​​Ma County.The surrounding fields are full of low hills, full of jujube trees.There are open fields between the hills, and the rice is filling and growing.The car passed through the village, and the jujube trees almost swept the roof of the car.The jujubes are not yet ripe, they are blue and white, covered with branches, and the jujube tree is as graceful as a weeping willow. Soon I arrived at Zaolin Village, and I saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village from a distance.As they got closer, they saw Shao Yunhong and Shu Tian first, and then the village party secretary.I can't remember the name of the village party secretary, but I only remember that the young man is still smart.There are still many people, I am afraid they are watching the excitement in the village.

Shao Yunhong came up to meet him and said, "Secretary Zhu has worked hard." "You have worked hard, and you have been here for so long." Zhu Huaijing said and stretched out his hand to the village party secretary, "You have worked hard, you have worked hard. I told Comrade Mingwu not to disturb you. Why are you still so exciting?" The village party secretary smiled honestly and said, "Secretary Yu didn't ask us to make any preparations for the reception. He just told us to prepare a report and a symposium. Please let Secretary Zhu instruct you on how to arrange it."

"Let's go." Zhu Huaijing said, and made a gesture of invitation.The village branch secretary was polite and led the way ahead.Shao Yunhong, Zhao Yipu, and Shu Tian followed closely behind.Although it is going deep into the grassroots, it still has to listen to the arrangements of the village party secretary.If you just knock on the door of any house you want to visit out of interest, or if you really want to see what's going on, you may not be able to step down. All along the road were spectators, and Zhu Huaijing waved to them.The folks didn't respond, they just laughed.When some women saw him smile, they hid in the house.After all, Zhu Huaijing wasn't being rude, and he didn't say hello to the folks while waving his hands.Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the folks didn't reply that the chief is good.No one said hello in advance, how would the villagers know how to answer the chief?

Seeing a new two-story brick house, the village party secretary said: "Secretary Zhu, let's go and see this family?" "Okay, okay." Zhu Huaijing said.The village party secretary greeted the owner loudly, saying, "San Tuo, San Tuo, are you at home? Secretary Zhu of the prefectural committee came to see you." A young man in a suit and leather shoes came out, clapped his hands, and said, "Welcome to the leaders." The young man turned back and shouted to the back room: "Cui Cui, quickly open the door." The door in the middle of the room creaked open, and a The woman smiled and said, "Leaders, please sit down." The couple were both neatly dressed, as if they were going out to visit.The woman also painted her eyebrows and smeared red, like a female singer in a country opera.

This is the hall in a farmhouse, just like a city dweller's living room, with sofas and stools. After being seated, the village party secretary introduced: "Secretary Zhu, this is Chen Changyun. Everyone in the village calls him San Tuo. San Tuo is a talented person in our village. He does business outside, dealing in jujubes in summer and oranges in winter. Don't I also do business, sell whatever I want to make money.” San Tuo's wife, Cuicui, brought tea. Zhu Huaijing thanked him, and said, "Sure. It depends on you capable people to revitalize the rural circulation." He asked his family how much money they earn each year, how many children, How many grades are you in, how is your burden?The three tuo answered one by one, and Zhu Huaijing nodded.Shao Yunhong, Zhao Yipu and Shu Tian kept taking notes, nodding and smiling from time to time.Zhu Huaijing lifted the lid of the teacup, and immediately smelled the smell of cooking pot.Presumably the woman boiled the water in a vegetable pot.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Good tea and good water."

Some people had already gathered around the door, and there were also people standing there in small groups in the yard.The young girl looks very shy, you punch me, I pinch you, but she sneaks her eyes into the room.At this moment, noises were heard outside.Zhu Huaijing looked outside and saw everyone looking into the distance.I wonder if someone has come to petition?When I go down to the grassroots level, I am afraid that the masses will hand in the certificate in person.Classical opera has too much influence on the masses. They always confuse time and space, hoping to meet Bao Zheng or Hai Rui on tour, and then kneel down and hand in the petition.Zhu Huaijing was thinking about it when he saw people quickly flashing to the sides.Just as he was about to see what happened, it turned out that it was Yu Mingwu and Yin Zhengdong who had come.There are two people I don't recognize, who must be cadres of the township government.The person carrying the camera behind him and sweeping around must be the reporter from Mashan TV Station.Zhu Huaijing was unhappy, but he couldn't do it in front of the village cadres, so he stood up and shook hands with them cordially. "Comrade Mingwu, Comrade Zhengdong, you really won't let me go!"

Yu Mingwu said with a smile: "Secretary Zhu, please stop criticizing me. You came down in person, can I sit in the county?" "Yes, I will discuss with Comrade Mingwu, no matter how much you criticize, we will come here." Yin Zhengdong said. Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to say: "Okay, you can do research with me." Turning around, he said to his host, "Santuo, can you show me your house?" It sounded humorous, and everyone laughed.San Tuo felt kind and scratched his head. This kind of house is called a bungalow in the countryside, but the layout is still old-fashioned.There is a shrine in the middle hall, with ancestral tablets standing, and incense is constantly burning.It's just that the incense has been innovated. Two red glass tubes, which look like candles and incense, are powered on, and the flames flicker like everlasting lamps.The middle hall is usually a place for family members to watch TV and entertain guests. Sofas, tea tables, etc. should be as particular as possible.There are two suites at both ends of the nave, each with two rooms inside and outside.Behind the nave is the stairwell, and upstairs are three suites, each with two rooms inside and outside.The room is fully furnished and tidy.Entering the suite in the middle, the furniture, bedding and various furnishings inside are quite different, it should be the master's bedroom.Looking up, there is actually an air conditioner. "Not bad, San Tuo. Your house has more than 300 square meters, right? I only live more than 100 square meters, and you are higher than me. According to housing standards, you are almost the same as the country's leaders." Zhu Huaijing joked.

This remark is not very humorous, but it caused a lot of laughter and joy.People treat leaders like they treat children.As long as a child shows a little performance, adults will praise him for being smart.Yu Mingwu took the lead, and everyone laughed loudly.This laughter exaggerated Zhu Huaijing's humor, and the atmosphere was indescribably pleasant. Everyone laughed so casually that San Tuo became presumptuous and said: "I don't know my surname after Secretary Zhu praised me so much. I remembered a sketch I saw at the Spring Festival Gala a few years ago. Zhao Benshan played a The village chief said that above the village chief is the township chief, above the township chief is the county magistrate, above the county magistrate is the governor, and above the governor is the prime minister. Counting with fingers, the prime minister is only four ranks higher than the village chief. The village chief is one level shorter, and I am not as old as the prime minister, five levels shorter than the prime minister." Everyone didn't know if San Tuo's remark violated a taboo, so they looked at Zhu Huaijing.Seeing Zhu Huaijing smile, everyone roared with laughter.Zhu Huaijing still wanted to see a few households, so he left.The village party secretary ordered loudly: "San Tuo, ask your wife to get some dishes, and we will have dinner at your house later." The couple of San Tuo are vying to say that they want it, and they will come if they agree.I looked at a few more households, all of which were well-to-do families in the village.Fortunately, every household has an owner at home, who has boiled tea and washed teacups.Zhu Huaijing no longer sat down and inquired in detail like he did at Santuo's house, but just stood and chatted with the master for a few words, and then said goodbye.Gradually, he became clear in his heart, knowing that the village cadres had greeted these people in advance. "Let's see a few families in need," Zhu Huaijing said. The village party secretary looked at Yu Mingwu, not knowing what to do.Yu Mingwu said, "Xiao Chen, show Secretary Zhu a look at one or two representative households in need." It turned out that the branch secretary was also surnamed Chen.Most of the villages live in groups of clans, and each village has several common surnames, and very few miscellaneous surnames. Chen Zhishu patted his head, thought for a while, and continued to lead everyone forward.Before he had gone far, someone secretly stuffed two hundred yuan into Zhu Huaijing's hands.Zhu Huaijing understood what was going on, but couldn't say anything.After a while, I arrived in front of the adobe house.Chen Zhishu knocked on the door, but no one answered.Chen Zhishu turned around and said: "There is no one at home, so I went out to do something." When he arrived in front of a crooked old wooden house, Chen Zhishu went up and called for the door.I heard someone answer inside, but no one opened the door.Chen Zhishu pushed the door, and the door opened.When I went in, I saw that it was as dark as a hole inside. Hearing a faint sound in the corner, Chen Zhishu took a closer look, only to see a person lying on the bed.It was an old lady, moaning softly.Chen Zhishu leaned into the old lady's ear and said loudly: "The higher-ups came to see you. It's Secretary Zhu of the prefectural committee, secretary Yu of the county committee, and county magistrate Yin. They are all high-ranking officials." Someone reminded: "And Director Shao of the Political Research Office of the Prefectural Committee." Chen Zhishu added: "There is also Director Shao of the Prefectural Committee." Zhu Huaijing sat down by the bed and grabbed the old man's hand.The old man wanted to sit up, Zhu Huaijing pressed her shoulder and said, "Lady down, old man. Are you old?" Chen Zhishu said, "Secretary Zhu asked you how old you are." The old lady said something, but Zhu Huaijing didn't Listen clearly.Chen Zhishu said: "The old man said that she is seventy-nine years old this year, and she will eat the meal of eighty years old." Zhu Huaijing said again: "Old man, you are a birthday star! Take care of your health, and life will get better and better." Chen Zhishu He raised his voice again, repeating Zhu Huaijing's words, like an interpreter. Here, the camera of the TV station was in a hurry, the light in the room was too dark.They huddled together quietly, opening all the windows and looking around for light switches.Turned on the light, and the light was too dim.Yin Zhengdong cursed in a low voice: "Why didn't you bring a lamp? Is it okay to forget to bring a gun when fighting?" Zhu Huaijing asked a few words, took out two hundred dollars, and said: "Old man, I will give you two hundred dollars here as a token of my heart. As long as we work hard and work hard, we will soon get rid of poverty and become rich." Yu Mingwu, Yin Zhengdong Shao Yunhong and Shao Yunhong also handed over two hundred yuan each.The old man held the money and said a lot of words of gratitude.Zhu Huaijing couldn't understand a sentence, so Chen Zhishu translated it. I went to Sanhu again, which was also a low adobe house.As soon as there was a knock on the door, Ma Shan opened.A disheveled woman smiled foolishly.The room was full of children, sitting on the bed, curled up on the ground, and lying on the stool.Zhu Huaijing wanted to go up and grab the woman's hand, but the woman only smiled.Chen Zhishu said softly: "She has some brain problems. Her husband is an innocent man and he is not at home." Zhu Huaijing then handed over another two hundred yuan and said some words of encouragement.The woman couldn't understand anyway, so Zhu Huaijing spoke perfunctorily.It's not too good not to say, the camera is facing him.Yu Mingwu, Yin Zhengdong, and Shao Yunhong also handed over two hundred yuan in turn.Chen Zhishu bowed his head and confessed to the woman's eldest child. "Hide the money for your mother and give it to your father later, so don't lose it." After coming out, Zhu Huaijing frowned and asked, "Why are there so many children in this family? Isn't this getting poorer and getting poorer?" Both Yu Mingwu and Yin Zhengdong felt uncomfortable, and they blamed Chen Zhishu for taking them to such a family.Chen Zhishu didn't know how to prevaricate, so he stammered: "This family is difficult for our village cadres to handle. The woman is mentally handicapped, and the man is unreasonable. If he says he wants to sterilize his wife, he will kill and set fire to him. We are talking nicely. A few baskets, he won't get in." Zhu Huaijing originally wanted to see the two impoverished households again, but he was so angry that he didn't want to.The people below observed his words and saw that he didn't intend to read any more, so they stopped giving him money. Passing by the ancestral hall in the village, Zhu Huaijing saw that the relief above the gate was interesting, so he stopped.It is a hollow stone carving more than two meters high and one meter high.The carvings are flat forests and fields, small bridges and flowing water, farmhouses and wild nunneries, old boys in the village, auspicious clouds and flying cranes.There is an inscription next to it: Xianyin in Xinglin.Meng Chun, the tenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty.Everyone didn't understand what Zhu Huaijing was thinking, so they didn't speak. "The last time I came, why didn't I see this ancestral hall?" Zhu Huaijing asked. Chen Zhishu said: "I didn't pass by here last time." Zhu Huaijing said: "It seems that there have been people in your village in history, otherwise such a good ancestral hall would not have been built. The stone carvings are exquisite and have artistic value. Is there anything else in it?" Chen Zhishu said: "There is only a stage left inside, and it is almost destroyed." "Go in and have a look?" Zhu Huaijing said. I'm afraid the door has not been opened for a long time, and it creaks when pushed.As soon as the door is opened, you can see the bluestone patio inside.Go to the patio and look back, and you will see the stage.There are still a lot of couplets, and the handwriting is clear and recognizable.On the pillar in front of the stage is a long couplet: After Zhu Huaijing finished reading, he pondered for a moment, then clicked his tongue and said, "That's right, your Chen family has some background, at least in the Jin Dynasty, there were very prominent ancestors." Chen Zhizhi said: "How do we know? We only heard that this ancestral hall has been around for a long time. The old man said that in the past, every Spring Festival and ancestor's birthday, the village would sing a big opera for two months, and the rich families in the village paid for the troupe. Later, the "Four Olds" were broken, and many things inside were broken. According to the old man, there were still many pairs written on the wooden signboards, which were all smashed. These carved on the pillars, there are still some .” I also saw that there are couplets on the left and right openings of the stage, but because of the paint falling off, I can't see clearly.It can only be vaguely seen that there is the word "out of the general" above the left platform, and the word "into the phase" above the right platform.Zhu Huaijing wanted to see the above couplet clearly, and asked: "Can the stage still have people?" Chen Zhishu said: "It should be possible to go up. Don't go up if you are afraid it will be unsafe." Yu Mingwu also said: "Secretary Zhu, don't go up. I think the boards are rotten." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "I don't think it's a problem. As long as it's so high, it's fine if the rate is lowered." Yin Zhengdong said: "Xiao Chen, go up and try first." Chen Zhishu climbed onto the stage alone and tried to jump, only to hear creaking noises. "It should be fine." Chen Zhishu said. Zhu Huaijing went up.Yu Mingwu also went up, but turned around and said, "Don't go up, there are too many people, I'm afraid it will be unsafe." When you get closer, you can see the couplets at the entrance of the stage clearly.The writing is sloppy and mostly in traditional characters, making it even more difficult to read.Zhu Huaijing pondered for a long time before he half-guessed and read softly: "Why do things in the world need to be taken seriously? After chasing after dimension into a dream life, don't take the precepts in front of the show as the precepts." As soon as Zhu Huaijing read out the words "Why do things in the world need to be serious", Yu Mingwu shook his head and said: "Too negative, too negative." Zhu Huaijing couldn't say anything, just said: "Good calligraphy." link: Yu Mingwu commented again: "The reason is also the same. After all, it is too negative." This couplet is so familiar, Zhu Huaijing can't remember where he saw it before.I think this is the truth realized by the predecessors, and it will be passed down to the world.I can really understand that living in this world is much more comfortable.But he couldn't say it too much, he just said: "It will be very beneficial if you look at it as a philosophy of life." Yu Mingwu nodded and said, "Yes, we must critically absorb traditional culture." After getting off the stage, Zhu Huaijing walked around the ancestral hall again.Looking at the traces on the left and right walls, it is guessed that there used to be stands there.Going closer to the base of the wall, there are traces of murals.The painting is of Eguanbo belt, wooden clogs with wide sleeves, I am afraid it is some opera stories. They are all missing heads and legs, and there is no complete person.What a pity. "Let me tell you, Xiao Chen, your place used to be amazing, with plenty of food and clothing, singing and dancing. Such a good ancestral hall has not been preserved." Zhu Huaijing shook his head. After going out of the gate, Zhu Huaijing turned back again, admired the stone carving, and said, "This is a cultural relic! When was the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty? I don't have any knowledge about it. I guess it was four or five hundred years ago. The Qing Dynasty is two hundred and sixty years old." More than ten years, and a hundred years have passed since the Qing Dynasty. In this way, it may be more than five hundred years. Baby!" "That is really a treasure. It is a miracle that this thing can be preserved." Shao Yunhong said. Yu Mingwu nodded and said, "Yes, this fully reflects the intelligence and wisdom of the working people in ancient my country." Zhu Huaijing laughed secretly, wondering why Yu Mingwu always speaks stereotyped?No one checks your political level right now.Yin Zhengdong chuckled and said, "I don't understand cultural relics. A broken pot or a piece of tile is considered a treasure." Yu Mingwu was afraid that what he said would be wrong, so he looked at Zhu Huaijing.Zhu Huaijing just smiled generously and said, "Zhengdong is a straightforward person." While talking, I saw Chen Changyun standing there far away laughing. Chen Zhishu understood and said, "Leaders, should we forget about lunch?" Zhu Huaijing nodded, and everyone walked back.They arrived at Chen Changyun's house soon, and the food had already been prepared.There are two tables in total, both placed in the nave.The chicken is always patrolling at the gate, and Cui Cui is rushing.Chen Changyun blamed his wife and said, "The chickens shouldn't be released today." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm also a rural person, and I've eaten like this since I was a child. Chickens, dogs, cats, all Look for food under the table. If you don’t pay attention, the chicken will jump on the table and shit.” Everyone laughed.Chen Changyun hurriedly said: "Secretary Zhu is really a caring person for the peasant brothers!" Seeing Wuliangye wine on the table, Zhu Huaijing looked at Yu Mingwu and said, "This wine is what you and Zhengdong have created. When you come to the countryside, you will live a peasant life. It would be best to have authentic rice wine from the countryside. I Instead of drinking this wine, I want to drink rice wine." Yu Mingwu asked someone to remove Wuliangye and replace it with rice wine.The wine glasses are big and big, and small and small.Zhu Huaijing suggested: "Use bowls. Drink in big bowls and eat meat in big pieces, just like the Liangshan brothers." Everyone laughed again. We started eating, and the camera was still scanning.Zhu Huaijing smiled at the young man who took the camera: "You guys are free, too. We also take photos of meals, and we can't even move our mouths. Doesn't it mean that we can act like a play when we eat?" The reporter looked at Yu Mingwu and put it down. camera. Zhu Huaijing tasted the dish first, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Very good, very good taste." Embarrassed, Cui Cui blushed and said, "Where are the countrymen cooking? Boil it with water and salt. It's fine when it's cooked. Leaders, just let it go." Zhu Huaijing said: "I'm not talking flattery. The authentic country food is the favorite of the city people. If the city people eat too many famous dishes and big dishes, they say they want to return to the basics. If you go to Jingdu, the streets will be full of people. They are all signs of authentic rural cuisine. I said, Cuicui has this skill, and she can really open a restaurant in the city." Yu Mingwu hurriedly echoed: "Okay, Secretary Zhu pointed out a way to make money for you. I'm not kidding, as long as you know how to manage, you will definitely get rich." After all, Shao Yunhong was somewhat literati romantic, and said: "Really. You have really followed Secretary Zhu's instructions, and you will definitely make a fortune if you do it well. This is a good story. Not to mention going to Jingdu, even going to Mea. There is a market." Chen Changyun's eyes lit up a long time ago, and he patted his thigh and said, "I'll follow Secretary Zhu's instructions. I'll go to Mea to open a restaurant, and then march to Jingdu when it's done." Zhu Huaijing held up the wine bowl and said, "Okay, for this first bowl of wine, we wish the talented people in Zaolin Village to open up new business avenues and make a lot of money." Chen Changyun hurriedly said: "Thanks to Secretary Zhu for his concern. However, for this first bowl of wine, we still welcome Secretary Zhu, Secretary Yu, County Magistrate Yin, and other leaders to visit our farm. I am very excited today. Our Zaolin Village has always been I have never received such a big person, but I have dinner at my house again. It is all the virtues accumulated by my ancestors." Zhu Huaijing was really moved when he heard this, and said: "Farmer brothers have simple feelings. They know what kindness and care are best. In fact, we are ashamed. After so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are still so many people who have not lived a good life. I just saw a few poor households, and my heart is very heavy. Comrade Mingwu, Comrade Zhengdong, we sit in our seats and always keep our responsibilities in mind. Come, let’s have a drink.” After Zhu Huaijing drank the bowl of wine, he would just take a sip when he offered a toast to anyone.The food really suits the taste, but it's too salty.Peasant dishes pay attention to serving meals, and I am used to adding more salt.If you really go to the city to open a store, the taste will be lighter.I didn't expect that a joke from him would really make people take it seriously. The rice wine has a low alcohol content and a mellow taste. Everyone drank it to their heart's content.He drank a lot and talked a lot.No matter who said what, Zhu Huaijing nodded endlessly, or smiled heartily. Seeing that Zhu Huaijing was so easy-going, everyone wanted to say a few more words, so the dinner was very long. After finally finishing lunch, Yu Mingwu asked, "Secretary Zhu, would you like to take a break at noon?" "Let's not rest. Find some villagers and have a discussion." Zhu Huaijing said. Yu Mingwu said: "Okay. Xiao Chen, you can arrange it. Hurry up, don't wait. Just here, let's drink tea first, you can find someone." Here, Chen Changyun and his wife had just cleaned up the scene when the villagers who participated in the discussion arrived.Not too embarrassed, tiptoeing, shrinking into the corner.Zhu Huaijing laughed loudly and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you can sit down wherever you want. Comrade Mingwu, shall we begin?" Yu Mingwu nodded and said: "Today, Comrade Zhu Huaijing, deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, took time out of his busy schedule to come to our Zaolin Village to visit everyone and do research. This is a kind concern for our farmers and friends. This is not only The great joy of our farmer friends in Zaolin Village is also the great joy of our farmer friends in the whole county. Let us welcome the arrival of Secretary Zhu with warm applause!" The audience applauded.Zhu Huaijing also responded by applauding, saying, "We should come down more often!" Yu Mingwu went on to say: "This time, Secretary Zhu mainly wants to hear everyone's opinions on the work of the party branch and the village committee, and understand the income and debts of the villagers. Don't have any worries, just say what you want. Especially If you have any different opinions, including opinions on the work of our county party committee, you can boldly raise them." After Yu Mingwu finished speaking, the audience fell silent.No one wants to take the lead in speaking, and everyone wants others to speak first.There was only the sound of drinking tea, hoo hoo hoo.Chen Zhishu nodded his name and said, "Fifth, you go ahead." The fifth child was a middle-aged man. He scratched his scalp, raised his head and smiled, blushed, and said, "Let me just report a few words first. Our village party branch and village committee, under the kind care of the prefectural committee, worked in the county committee With great attention, and under the direct leadership of the township party committee, a lot of work has been done to promote the economic development of the whole village and lead farmers to become rich. The highlights are in the following three aspects. First, earnestly formulate a practical rural economic development plan..." Zhu Huaijing was dumbfounded. How can a farmer speak in an official tone?And at least the official accent above the county party secretary.For the sake of face, it is inconvenient to point out, so I had to bite the bullet and listen, pretending to take notes.When the fifth child started, he spoke one after another, but they all spoke clearly and grandly. Zhu Huaijing thought to himself, even if it was in an official tone, if what he said was true, it would be good.He could only listen to everyone's speech patiently.Even if it was a play arranged for him by the people below, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Finally, after the symposium was over, Zhu Huaijing seemed very interested and said, "It's not bad. The work of the Party branch and the village committee is very effective. As the saying goes, the village looks at the village, the household looks at the household, and the masses Looking at the cadres, the key lies in the party branch. As long as our party branch truly plays the role of a battle fortress, leads the masses to proceed from the reality of the village, and closely follows the market economic situation, we will definitely be able to do things in Zaolin Village better.” The villagers all left, Zhu Huaijing had a whim, and said: "Chen branch secretary, thank you very much, thank you all members of your branch. I would like to invite all members of the village branch and village committee to meet and take a group photo as a souvenir." Shao Yunhong said from the side: "Xiao Chen, Secretary Zhu cares about you too much. Usually people want to take Secretary Zhu to take pictures, but today Secretary Zhu offered to take pictures with you." Chen Zhi looked embarrassed in writing, and looked at Yu Mingwu again. Yu Mingwu hurriedly said: "Xiao Chen, do you still need to ask me for instructions? This is Secretary Zhu's concern. Hurry up and invite the cadres of the party branch and village committee to come and take a photo with everyone." After a while, all the village cadres came.Chen Zhishu introduced them one by one, and Zhu Huaijing shook hands with them one by one.But suddenly found that the village cadres who came were the same ones who had just discussed.Zhu Huaijing stopped talking with them and hurriedly took a group photo. Dinner is still at Chen Changyun's house.Zhu Huaijing had long since lost interest, and his expression was still easy-going.He didn't even want to live here anymore, it was just that he said it so deadly, so he changed his mind.At night, Zhu Huaijing didn't make arrangements, but just wanted to be alone.He guessed that they would let him sleep in the air-conditioned room above Chen Changyun's house.Sure enough, Chen Zhishu said: "Secretary Zhu, the conditions in the village are limited, so you will sleep at Changyun's house, and only his house has air conditioning." Zhu Huaijing said: "That's the owner's bedroom. How can I steal the show? Just give me a room." Chen Changyun joked: "Secretary Zhu, please save face. If you stay for one night, my room will be different. If you go to the Central Committee one day, I can open a memorial hall in my room." Yu Mingwu laughed and said, "Chen Changyun can talk. Our Secretary Zhu is no ordinary person!" Zhu Huaijing then asked Yu Mingwu: "Mingwu, where are you and Comrade Zhengdong?" Yu Mingwu said: "Comrade Zhengdong and I have also stayed here. Just leave it alone, the comrades in the village have made arrangements for us." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "I don't ask you two to stay here too. Don't blame me for causing you to feed mosquitoes in Zaolin Village." Everyone laughed.At this time, there were already many villagers standing in the yard outside.After a while, the cadres from above were taken away by these villagers. After taking a shower, Zhu Huaijing rested alone in the room.Zhao Yipu and Yang rushed over to say hello, please An.They live next door.Not long after, there was another knock on the door.Zhu Huaijing opened the door, and it was Yin Zhengdong who came. "Secretary Zhu, I would like to report my thoughts to you," Yin Zhengdong said. Zhu Huaijing felt faintly unhappy, so he just asked him to sit down and remained silent.Yin Zhengdong said: "The last time I went to see you, it was too late. I was tired seeing you, so I didn't say much." Zhu Huaijing suddenly remembered that this Yin Zhengdong was the mysterious person who gave him 100,000 yuan last time.No wonder the last time I saw him, I thought he looked familiar!Zhu Huaijing's heart was pounding suddenly, and the blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head.But I was not too sure, so I said with a dark face: "Comrade Zhengdong, I want to talk about you. You shouldn't come to see me alone. If you want to come, come with Comrade Mingwu. I'm not just guessing comrades If Comrade Mingwu knows that you have come to me alone, what will he think? Zhengdong, you must pay attention to handling relationships. Even if I talk to comrades, there must be more than three people. Zhengdong , I’m sorry, I spoke too harshly. When you come to my house as a guest, this is a personal conversation, so you can come alone. " Yin Zhengdong's face was flushed early, he laughed and almost retreated out.The door was gently closed by Yin Zhengdong, and Zhu Huaijing walked back and forth in the room impatiently.More and more people visited him recently, and their intentions became more and more obvious.It turned out that after the news of Li Longbiao suffering from cancer spread, many people saw new hope.They guessed that Li Longbiao could not stay in the position of deputy secretary of the prefectural committee for too long.Someone has to fill it. Those who have mixed up to a certain level start to make plans to see if they can top it.The ones who think they are most sure of succeeding Li Longbiao are the oldest county party secretaries.People who want to take the position of Li Longbiao don't have to worship Zhu Huaijing's pier, that's what the Jingdu City Committee has the final say on.But once the secretary of the county party committee is promoted, it provides opportunities for others.Yu Mingwu was the oldest county party secretary, and it was rumored recently that he would succeed Li Longbiao.Only then did Zhu Huaijing understand that maybe Yin Zhengdong wanted to take over as the secretary of the county party committee.This really corresponds to what Gao Qian said, Umeji's officials have to spend money to buy them. There was another knock on the door.Zhu Huaijing was very irritable, and opened the door with a dark face.Seeing that Yu Mingwu and Yin Zhengdong came together, he quickly smiled and said, "Please come in, please come in." Yu Mingwu said: "Zhengdong and I think we should come and have a look. I don't know if it is convenient to take a bath here." "Very good. I boiled two buckets of water and washed very comfortably." Zhu Huaijing said. "I wonder if Secretary Zhu is interested in playing cards? Comrade Mingwu and I will accompany you." Yin Zhengdong asked. Before Zhu Huaijing could answer, Yu Mingwu said, "Secretary Zhu, don't make yourself too nervous, just play." Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to agree, saying: "Okay, go and call Xiao Zhao over." Yu Mingwu opened the door, called Xiao Zhao twice, and Zhao Yipu came over with Yang Chong.Yu Yin and the two had already made preparations and brought two new decks of poker. "Three against one?" Yu Mingwu asked.Umeji originally said that three strikes are stupid, but this kind of statement has a political color, and people who are interested in the officialdom are taboo to mention it. Zhu Huaijing said: "It's better not to highlight individual heroes, but to emphasize a team spirit. Upgrade." Yu Mingwu said: "Let's just upgrade. Region vs. county?" Zhu Huaijing said: "There is no big or small on the poker table, regardless of region or county. I am with Xiao Zhao's family, and you two are a family. If you lose, you will play at the table." Zhu Huaijing usually does not arrange official business at night when he is at the grassroots level. Most of the time he only plays poker with the local party and government leaders to connect with each other.Otherwise, just sitting and chatting is not a word.If you talk elegantly, it is inevitable that you are high-spirited;Just play poker, and if you lose, you will go to the table without hesitation.The leader below said that he does not take airs. Playing cards with the comrades below, Zhu Huaijing's luck is always very good.They always win today, which makes Yu Mingwu and Yin Zhengdong always crawl under the table.Yu Mingwu was fat, and it was very difficult to drill.Zhao Yipu joked: "The two parents and officials really love the people like their own children. When they are guests at the farm, they will never forget to sweep the floor for them." Zhu Huaijing also laughed, and said, "I'm ashamed of both of you. How about this, from the next game onwards, if you lose, just salute to us, and show that you can learn from us humbly." Yu Mingwu refused, and said: "It's because you are lucky. Don't leave yourself an escape route, okay? The next game will definitely be yours who will hit the table." "Poor technology means poor technology, and you are not humble." Zhu Huaijing laughed. Yin Zhengdong took advantage of the topic and said: "With Secretary Zhu's luck in playing cards, I am afraid that he will become the leader of the party and the country in the future. Just like what Chen Changyun said today, this house will be a memorial hall in the future." Zhu Huaijing pretended to be annoyed, and said, "What do you commemorate? To commemorate our playing poker table today? Is it a matter of luck to be a leader? I, Zhu, became such an official because of the trust of the organization, the support of the masses, and the support of comrades." what." Knowing that Zhu Huaijing was not really angry, Yin Zhengdong still had a bad look on his face, and hurriedly said, "Of course, of course." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said: "Based on what you said, you should get back on the table." After finishing speaking, he threw down the last four dragging cards, deciding everything in one fell swoop.Yu and Yin smiled helplessly, and drilled again. At this moment, a sound was heard at the door.大家凝神听了，有脚步声轻轻地远去了。杨冲忙开门出去看看，没见什么异样。却突然发现脚下有张纸条，捡着一看，就望着朱怀镜。 “什么东西？给我看看。”朱怀镜说。 朱怀镜接过纸条一看，见上面写着： 报告朱书记，陈大礼是个大贪官，他不像个党支部书记，私心杂念恨重，每次领导从上面来看望贫困户，他都把领导带到他家亲气那里去，让他们落得几百块钱，今天他们又故技从演，变本加厉。 朱怀镜看罢，一言不发，将纸条揣进了口袋里。他这才知道陈支书大名陈大礼。他不准备把这张满是错别字的条子给余明吾和尹正东看，免得彼此尴尬。可余明吾和尹正东打牌更加慌了，老是钻桌子。他们私下都有些紧张，都以为那张纸条子同自己有关。便总禁不住要瞟一眼朱怀镜的口袋，似乎可以透视出那张条子上的文字。 时间差不多了，朱怀镜说：“很晚了，休息吧。” 彼此握手而别。朱怀镜又将杨冲叫了回来，交代说：“这张条子，你不要同任何人说。记住啊。” 杨冲点头道：“朱书记放心，我不会同任何人说的。就是一普问起来，我也不说。” 刚才房里人多，门又老是开，室温下不来。朱怀镜想调低温度。找了半天，在茶几下面找着了遥控器。竟是崭新的。再看看空调机，也是崭新的。他便明白八九成了。这空调一定是昨天晚上县里派人连夜装上的。 躺在床上，朱怀镜满心无奈。他觉得自己很可笑，居然想下乡住两天，一可调查研究，二可休息几日。还真忙坏了这些人，一个通宵就可以把什么都弄得天衣无缝。记得古时有位官员游了寺庙，写诗说：因过竹院逢僧话，又得浮生半日闲。僧人听了笑道：官人得了半日闲，贫僧知道您要来，为此忙了三日啊。不曾想如今领导下来调查研究也成迂腐之举了。 夜已很深了，蛙唱虫鸣，不绝于耳。这样的乡村夏夜，本应让他沉醉的。可他今晚却是心乱如麻。
