Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

Early the next morning, Xiangmei took Qiqi to the hospital. Zhu Huaijing couldn't rest at home, so she wanted to go to the countryside to see her.He didn't call Zhao Yipu either, and brought Shu Tian with him.He wanted to go to Mashan County, but he didn't intend to say hello to the county, so he went straight to the farmers' homes.If you don't say hello to the leaders below, you will always make people feel that you are deliberately finding fault.Zhu Huaijing was originally worried about Yu Mingwu and Yin Zhengdong, but after dealing with them a few times, he didn't care so much.

Driving out of the city, less than 20 minutes to the south, is Mashan County, which is an idyllic scenery.This road runs through the west of Mashan County. It is not full of jujube forests like the east, but it is full of rice fields.Farmers are rarely seen working the fields.The rice is about to be harvested, and there is not much farming.Looks like another bumper year.Along the way, I saw many farmers sitting or playing cards at the door of their houses, which was very leisurely.Seeing their happy appearance, Zhu Huaijing was somewhat fascinated.When was he so free?Suddenly, I saw two old people sitting in front of a farmhouse, dozing off, and a child squatting at their feet, looking happy.Zhu Huaijing told Yang Chong to stop and go down to have a look.

The three of Zhu Huaijing got out of the car, smiled and walked towards the two old people.The two old men had their eyes closed, only the child was smiling innocently, drooling. "How are you, old man!" Zhu Huaijing bowed and said hello. One old man opened his eyes and looked at them strangely; the other old man kept his eyes closed, and a few flies were crawling around on his nose. "Old man, where can I bask in the sun?" Zhu Huaijing greeted again. "Why don't you bask in the sun?" The old man had no expression on his face. There was a stool next to it, and Shu Tian moved it over.Seeing that it was dirty, he took out the paper in the bag and prepared to wipe it off.Zhu Huaijing signaled Shu Tian not to wipe it off, and sat down.He knows the taboos of the country people: if you wipe the stool, the country people will think you despise them.If they wipe it for you, they respect you.Shu Tian asked Yang Chong to sit down, but Yang Chong sat down on a rock.Shu Tian sat next to Zhu Huaijing.

"Are you cadres from above?" the old man asked. Zhu Huaijing said: "We are not cadres. We pass by here and want to sit with you and have a rest. Is that okay?" The old man smiled naively and said nothing. "It seems that this year's harvest is okay?" Spider Huaijing asked. Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Do we seem to be making a lot of money?" "Either earn a lot of money, or become a high-ranking official. Hard work does not make money, and making money is not hard. The common people are unwilling to farm, and it is not worthwhile. The land in front of me looks beautiful. If you walk in and look around, it is deserted! Here is the road. If we don’t grow rice, the township government will fine us. This is for the leaders above to see. The leaders, go to the countryside and sit in Santana and look at the crops through the glass.” The old man said with a smile, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Yang Chong pointed at the Crown car he was driving and teased the old man, "What kind of car is this?" The old man said, "Santana." Yang Chong pointed to the Mercedes-Benz speeding past on the road, "What kind of car is that?" The old man looked a little angry and said, "You young man is really like teasing a child. We used to call your car a toad car, but now we call it a Santana, a tortoise shell, and a bastard car." After talking about Yang Chong, Zhu Huaijing asked the old man, "Is that your grandson? How old is it?" The old man patted the child in his arms and said, "My grandson is less than two years old. Even though he is young, he is probably more capable than you. He has been a grandfather since he was born!"

Zhu Huaijing didn't understand, and asked, "Why do you become a grandfather?" The old man smiled and said: "Here, the apportionment above is calculated on the basis of the head. When he is born, he has to pay more than 300 yuan a year to support the officials above. Think about it, if those officials were not his grandsons , why should he pay for them?" Zhu Huaijing's face suddenly became hot.The old man still smiled at Mimi, and said: "This is my old father. He is over eighty years old, deaf and blind, and his legs are paralyzed. But he is still a grandson. He also has to pay three More than a hundred yuan. Think about it, those officials, if it wasn’t his grandfather, why would he still support them when he’s over eighty years old?”

Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to smile apologetically, to see what the old man had to say.Sure enough, the old man said again, "In the final analysis, my grandson is me, and my grandfather is me too. My son had an accident while working outside and died, and my daughter-in-law got married. The burden of the three members of the family is all on my head." .” At this time, many spectators gathered around, and when the old man said something, they laughed for a while.Some people say that these three people seem to be cadres at first glance. What do you say to cadres? Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "Is there a word on the cadre's face?"

The man laughed and said, "In the past, the thief's face seemed to be written; now, the official's face seems to be written." Zhu Huaijing could only smile, and turned around to ask the old man: "Then tell me, old man, what should be done reasonably?" The old man shook his head and said, "What's the use of my saying? Can an official listen to the common people?" Zhu Huaijing said, "Let's just treat it as nonsense!" The old man said: "It's not even bullshit, it can only be bullshit! According to me, you urbanites only get paid when you work, and you retire when you reach the age of 60. What about farmers? You are born with burdens until you die. They don’t even retire. They think highly of our peasants too much. They say farmer’s uncle, worker’s uncle. Uncle’s seniority is higher than uncle’s! Let me tell you, if the burden is shared on a head-to-head basis, it will be shared at least until the age of 18! By the age of 60 At the age of ten, you don’t want to pay us retirement wages, at least we will be exempted from handing them in!”

Zhu Huaijing nodded and said, "You're always right. How about sharing it by the acre of land?" Before the old man answered, a dark-faced old man who watched the excitement said, "I'm from a neighboring village, and I'm here to visit relatives. Our village is divided according to the amount of land, and each mu of land has to pay about 250 yuan a year. Counting people, it’s about the same as here. I can’t bear it.” Zhu Huaijing said: "But I can't do without paying! The imperial grain and the national tax. Do you think it is too much, or is it unfair?" Then he stood up, "Okay, we have to hurry. You can reflect your opinions, there will always be There is a solution!"

Zhu Huaijing waved goodbye to fellow villagers, and heard some people talking behind him: It must be a cadre, it must be a cadre.You can't see his belly, it's bulging!I'm afraid that if you are a high-ranking official, you will visit in private like the emperor Laozi.Of those two young men, one is a guard and the other is a driver. After getting into the car, Zhu Huaijing asked Shu Tian with a wry smile, "Guard, what do you think?" Shu Tian faltered slightly, and said, "I remembered an old saying, which sounds a bit reactionary: Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer."

Zhu Huaijing was silent for a moment, and said: "What we need is to seek truth from facts, rather than a priori to determine which point of view is correct or reactionary. It is a fact that some people are indeed suffering. How to solve it? The problem now is that everyone is Teachers only give out questions and do not answer exam papers. Village cadres are primary school teachers, township leaders are middle school teachers, county-level leaders are high school teachers, and our city-level leaders are university professors, and the leaders above are master tutors and doctoral students. Mentor." Shu Tian laughed, "Secretary Zhu is so humorous." Zhu Huaijing sighed and said, "How can I be humorous! Think about the situation just now, we didn't even dare to admit our cadre status. At first I didn't say I was a cadre, but I wanted to hear the real situation; ? Dare to admit it, don’t let them come out disheartened?” Yang Chong looked very indignant, and said, "Those peasants are so oily and ruthless. If they pass by, they should go to jail!" Zhu Huaijing said: "You can't look at it this way. The masses dare to say bad things about the government. This is the progress of history. The fault is not with the masses, but with our government. We should do our best to let the people say as few bad things as possible. This is the truth. Of course. There is no such thing as a government that is always right and everything is right." "I'm afraid that among the leading cadres, there are not many who dare to look at the problem like Secretary Zhu. Some cadres at the grassroots level always complain that the current farmers are spoiled by the policies of the above!" Shu Tian said. "Ridiculous!" Zhu Huaijing said. "Secretary Zhu, how do we go?" Yang Chong asked. Zhu Huaijing said: "You go first. Today we will make more relaxed arrangements, first look along the way, and find farmers to live in at night, and hold a symposium. We will not conduct private visits at night. We will disclose our identities and listen to the masses with an open mind Opinions. Tomorrow morning, I will rush to the Mashan County Party Committee to exchange views with Comrade Yu Mingwu.” At this time, I saw a newly built foreign house on the side of the road, and an old woman was sitting at the door, basking in the sun.Zhu Huaijing wanted to take a look, so he asked Yang Chong to stop the car. "Old man, you are so lucky!" Zhu Huaijing walked over to say hello. "Ah? What did you say?" It seems that the old lady's ears are not very good. "Say you're a good old man!" Shu Tian repeated loudly. The old lady laughed and said, "It's a good policy to help out now!" Hearing this, Zhu Huaijing suddenly became excited, moved a small stool by himself, and prepared to chat with the old woman, "You live a long life? How many people are there in the family?" The old lady was deaf herself, and she seemed to be afraid that others would not hear her, so she said loudly: "I am seventy-three this year. As the old saying goes, seventy-three or eighty-four, the king of hell will not call me to go. My body is still very strong, but my ears are a little bit It doesn’t matter. My son has a family and is working outside. Farming is not worth it, it’s not worth it. It’s not a good policy, so how can I go out to work? It’s just me and the old man at home, he’s gone to the field, just now!” Zhu Huaijing asked with concern: "What does your son and daughter-in-law do outside the home?" The old woman said, "I don't understand. I heard from the villagers that my son works in a belt factory and specializes in pulling belts. My daughter-in-law works in a salt factory and specializes in selling salt." At this time, some people from the village came over and stood far away just laughing.Zhu Huaijing was confused for a while, and immediately understood everything.Without another word, he turned and left.Pulling a belt is actually pimping, and selling salt is actually prostitution.Sitting in the car, the three of them did not speak.In fact, everyone understands it, but they don't point it out. Seeing that it was noon, Zhu Huaijing said, "Let's see which shop on the side of the road is cleaner. Let's get off the car and have something to eat. I'll treat you." After walking for a while, I saw a small shop called "Hao Hao Restaurant", which looked very clean.Zhu Huaijing said, "Go down and have a look." Before the car came to a complete stop, four or five young ladies gathered around, calling please please please.Where has Zhu Huaijing seen such a scene?Feeling broken right away.When I went in and took a look, I saw that the cups and plates on the table were crooked and full of flies.Shu Tian hurriedly said: "No, no, let's change the place." At this time, a fat woman came out, like a boss, smiling all over her face, "Bosses, please sit down!" Shu Tian said, "Let's think about looking elsewhere." The fat woman still smiled: "What's wrong with us, we can give advice, don't just leave." Zhu Huaijing said: "You haven't cleaned up the scene here yet, let's come again next time." Yang Chong said, "Look at you flies!" The fat woman smiled and said, "We'll clean up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks right away, so you won't have to wait too long. If you want to talk about flies, is there any place in the world without flies?" Shu Tian said: "Boss, businessmen, don't do this. There are picks and picks in any business, and the same goes for eating." The fat woman said: "Little brother, I have been in business for more than ten years, and I still need you to teach me a lesson? The business is not there. Well, you don't have to eat. The tea is poured, and each person pays ten yuan for tea. .” Zhu Huaijing laughed, "Is your tea Longjing or Biluochun?" The fat woman also smiled, "Boss, don't make fun of our ignorance in the country. I don't know about Longjing and Tiger Well. The tea here costs only ten yuan a cup." Zhu Huaijing said: "Well, we have seen it today." As he spoke, he was about to reach out for money. Shu Tian stopped him and said, "Don't give away this wronged money!" Yang Chong got angry early and said, "Boss, you have eyes!" The fat woman said: "This man can talk. Those of us who sit on the pier have no other skills, so we can watch people. Your boss, you are either a high-ranking official or a big business. Even the rich You are a big boss in the United States. Even if you are an official, you are the Secretary-General of the United Nations. If you drink my tea, you have to pay. This principle, even if you fly to the king of heaven in a spaceship to ask, you can’t go wrong Yes. By the way, the parking fee has not been mentioned yet! There is an additional parking fee of 150!" Shu Tian said: "Okay, we still have something to do, I don't want to argue with you. I will pay the money, and you will issue an invoice, specifying three cups of tea, and the fee will be 30; if you park for 20 minutes, you will be charged 150." The fat woman smiled with her mouth crooked, and said, "Invoice? I haven't heard of it. I've been in business for more than ten years, and I haven't seen what an invoice looks like! We businessmen like to hear a word, but not What invoice!" Zhu Huaijing felt that he had indeed met a shrew today, and said, "Pay, pay." Shu Tian didn't let him take it out, and he scrambled to touch his pocket.But Yang Chong stopped the two of them, furious, "No one is allowed to pay! Even if you use a knife or a gun today, you will not be given any money!" "If you don't pay, you can't leave!" A service lady climbed into the car and sat on it with her hips on her hips. When Yang Chong saw someone climbing onto his precious car, he was so angry that he yelled, "Get off immediately! You only need to scrape off a little bit of paint, and you won't even be able to pay for a year's wages." "If you want to shave, you have to shave!" The woman said while pedaling on the car with the heel of her shoes.Yang rushed over and pulled the woman down. "Okay, you're a hooligan! You want to touch my mother's buns!" The woman let loose, rushed towards Yang, scratched and beat him.Yang Chong was stunned, he had no choice but to fight back.The woman gained the upper hand more and more, yelling. At this moment, someone yelled, "Let go!" The woman was stunned.A tall man came over with his face sideways, pushed the naughty woman away with his palm, pointed at the female boss and said loudly: "Li Haohao, it's you again!" Only then did Zhu Huaijing see Yu Mingwu squeezed over from the crowd, and stretched out his hands to him: "I'm sorry, Secretary Zhu, for making this happen to you." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "It's a good thing if it happens." Yu Mingwu didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Huaijing's words, scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and smiled. "Comrade Yunqi, you can deal with it here, and I will go to your township government with Secretary Zhu." Yu Mingwu said to the big man with a stern face. The big man came over and shook hands with Zhu Huaijing.Yu Mingwu introduced: "Secretary Zhu, this is the local land lord, Comrade Xiang Yunqi, Party Secretary of Lijiaping Township." Xiang Yunqi was very embarrassed, blushing, "Secretary Zhu, please criticize, our work is not done well." Zhu Huaijing said: "Let's not talk about this for now. You can deal with it and come over immediately. I'll wait for you at the township government. There are some things we need to discuss." Tea and melons and fruits had been prepared in the conference room of the township government. Several township government cadres were busy pouring tea and handing out cigarettes.After Yu Mingwu introduced them one by one, they came over, all looking a little cautious.When the township cadres saw Zhu Huaijing, they were seeing the chief executive. Yu Mingwu joked: "Secretary Zhu, Mingwu came late to rescue me, forgive me!" Zhu Huaijing asked, "Did you run into it, or did you know I was coming?" "Knowing that you are coming, I rushed over from the county. On the way, I contacted Comrade Xiang Yunqi and told him to wait for me. I called your mobile phone, which was turned off. I thought Xiao Zhao came with you, so I beat him On the phone, he said that he didn’t know that you have an activity plan today. I don’t know where you are going, and I plan to touch you along the way!” Yu Mingwu said. Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "I am the one who surprised you! You have very good ears, how did you know I was coming?" "The cadres of the township government reported it to me. As soon as your car stopped in Lijiaping, some cadres of the township government saw it. It's just that they didn't dare to approach you, so they called me." Yu Mingwu kept smiling, not knowing Is he proud of being well-informed, or is he trying to resolve the embarrassment of Haohao Restaurant. Seeing two cadres whispering at the door, they seemed to be arranging lunch.Zhu Huaijing said: "Mingwu, don't be so tedious for lunch, let's order a few bowls of noodles from the cafeteria." Yu Mingwu said: "How can this be done? You still have to eat!" Zhu Huaijing smiled and said: "I'm not being polite to you, I'm really hungry, so hurry up and order some noodles. Don't be serious, go to the restaurant and eat it on the shelf, bring it here." After a while, the noodles were served.Everyone was eating in a hurry, when Xiang Yunqi came back, sweating profusely, and before he recovered, he hurriedly said: "Oh, eat noodles! Secretary Zhu, our work has not been done well. On behalf of our township party committee, I will , The township government first conducts a self-criticism and asks the head to criticize. There was an incident of beating a customer in this restaurant at the beginning of the year, and the public security and industry and commerce departments dealt with them seriously. Called and ordered them to deal with it strictly." Zhu Huaijing said flatly: "Act in accordance with the law and deal with it according to the rules. Don't make the situation serious just because you bumped into me." Xiang Yunqi said: "The plot is already very bad." Yu Mingwu took over the conversation, "Secretary Zhu, I didn't know you were coming to inspect beforehand, and I didn't prepare the report well. Should I ask Comrade Yun Qi to report on the situation in Lijiaping Township first, then I will report, and finally ask for your instructions?" Zhu Huaijing put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "I was born as a secretary. I know very well how your secretaries prepared those reports. I will use those reports to deal with the chief executive." Well, look serious. I am not here to inspect the work today, I just want to do some random research. To tell you the truth, we originally planned to find a random farmer to live in at night, hold a symposium, and finally talk to Comrade Mingwu Let's meet and study some issues together, but you have disturbed us. How about this, you don't need to make a comprehensive report today. We will study two issues, one is the burden of farmers. Find out how much the actual burden of farmers is now, There are several methods of collection. Can the farmers’ burden be truly controlled within the scope stipulated by the national policy? Can the collection method be corrected? Yesterday, people from Lijiaping Township went to the prefectural committee to petition. Conflict. When the working group arrives, there is no prefectural committee. They are required to be in place today. The second is the economic environment, and of course it is not just the problem of cheating and abducting roadside shops.” Yu Mingwu said: "The working group of the prefectural committee arrived early this morning. They proposed to investigate among the masses first, and then listen to our report. Comrade Yunqi, you should report first." Xiang Yunqi couldn't help but rubbed his ears back and forth. Obviously he had no idea. He took a sip of tea and calmed himself down before saying, "Our Lijiaping Township is located in the northernmost part of Mashan County, near the Meici Prefectural Committee. , The city of Mea, where the administrative office is located, can be said to be not only the edge of the county economy, but also the frontier of the market economy, with a unique geographical location and a total population of This is obviously another posture of comprehensive reporting, and it is a ready-made routine.Zhu Huaijing interrupted him and asked, "What is the overall level of farmers' burden in the whole town? Can you take a village as an example and talk about it item by item?" Xiang Yunqi faltered this and that, his eyes searching around the conference room.Then a cadre got up and walked out.Xiang Yunqi's face immediately turned red, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.Zhu Huaijing knew that he couldn't tell, so he said, "Comrade Yun Qi, you are the leader! If you can't explain in detail, just give a general idea." Zhu Huaijing's words were light but heavy.Big leaders are always polite in front of small cadres, and their harshness or rudeness can only be learned by the staff around them.Xiang Yunqi was sweating profusely, so he had no choice but to report the situation one by one.At this time, the cadre who went out just now came back and handed Xiang Yunqi a document.Xiang Yunqi flipped through the materials, straightened his waist, and spoke louder. However, Zhu Huaijing kept interrupting, asking the bottom line, always making Xiang Yunqi unable to answer.Yu Mingwu looked at it, very embarrassed, and criticized a few words from time to time.He took the time to scold others, and he had to write and draw in his notebook. It seemed that he was taking notes, but he was actually preparing a report outline.Seeing today's situation, he was also a little anxious. Zhu Huaijing was much more polite to Yu Mingwu.When Yu Mingwu reported, he smoked leisurely, nodded from time to time, or lowered his head to write down a few notes.The atmosphere gradually eased up.Since Zhu Huaijing was sitting in the position of deputy secretary of the prefectural committee, the secretary of the county committee would not be easy to offend.Besides, Yu Mingwu usually has the intention of getting close to him. After listening to Yu Mingwu's report, Zhu Huaijing said: "Comrade Mingwu's thoughts are very clear, the key is how to implement the next step. In my opinion, combined with the investigation of the working group of the prefectural committee, we must thoroughly understand the burden of farmers The ones that should be collected should be firmly collected, and the ones that should not be collected should be firmly banned. If possible, those that have been excessively collected in the past three years can be considered to be cleared, or offset this year's tasks. What I am talking about here is just my personal opinion, and does not represent the prefectural committee Opinions, but you can consider these opinions when you meet with the working group. It is impossible for me to make a wise decision after listening to a few sentences of the situation report. I never regard myself as a fairy." There was no sound in the conference room, and everyone was serious Record Zhu Huaijing's important instructions.After hearing the last few words, they couldn't help raising their heads and looking at Zhu Huaijing.Everyone heard Zhu Huaijing's subtext, that is, he was not satisfied with today's report. The report meeting is over, and it's time for dinner.Xiang Yunqi said: "Secretary Zhu, let's find a restaurant that is cleaner to eat. The conditions here are not good, please forgive me." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang, you really don't know how to flatter. Please forgive me, it seems that I am a glutton. When I came here just now, I was chatting with an old man. He said that our cadres go to the countryside and sit in Santana. Look at the crops. There are two other things he didn’t say, I’ve already said it, that is, the people are too lazy to care when they are hungry, and they can drink wherever there is wine. It seems that I, Zhu, also have this image? I said, I don’t have to go anywhere, just Eat in the cafeteria." Xiang Yunqi hurriedly said: "Where, the cafeteria is not prepared." Zhu Huaijing said: "What do you want to prepare? Eat what you have!" Xiang Yunqi said: "The problem is that we don't have anything to eat. We are different from the cadres of the higher authorities, and we don't have much time to stay in the office. We go around every day, and the meal in the cafeteria is the worst. We use the meal report system. .Today we didn’t report meals, so we didn’t have anything to eat.” Zhu Huaijing said: "I don't miss not being able to eat at your Lijiaping township government today. I don't care so much, I just eat at the township government anyway!" Xiang Yunqi wanted to say something else, but Yu Mingwu gave him a wink, and he said, "Okay, let's eat in the cafeteria. Then I have to trouble Secretary Zhu to wait." Yu Mingwu said: "Yun Qi, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and make arrangements!" Xiang Yunqi hurried out, and several other township cadres followed suit.Zhu Huaijing said to Shu Tian and Yang Chong: "You two should go out for a while too." Shu Tian and Yang Chong immediately got up and left.Zhu Huaijing turned his head and said softly: "Comrade Mingwu, the prefectural committee attaches great importance to the appeal of the farmers in Lijiaping this time. Comrade Miao Ming has given important instructions. In my opinion, it is impossible to pass the test without investigating the responsible person." Yu Mingwu understood what he meant, and said: "Comrade Xiang Yunqi, he has a good work ethic, strong organizational skills, and is willing to endure hardships. It's just that sometimes the method is simple and too reckless." Obviously he wanted to intercede for Xiang Yunqi. Zhu Huaijing said: "The situation facing rural work has changed, and our concept of employing people must also change. Domineering style of work cannot be equated with work courage, and patriarchal style cannot be equated with organizational ability. Simple or complicated working methods are not the essence of the problem. What is the essence, the essence lies in whether it is administration according to law." Yu Mingwu knew that he couldn't protect him anymore, so he nodded and said: "This Comrade Xiang Yunqi should indeed be taught some lessons. Otherwise, it may not be possible to make a personal murder next time." Zhu Huaijing said: "Our purpose is not to deal with one person, but mainly to sound the alarm to the sports cadres. Some cadres don't care about the lives of the masses at all. Untie the rope, throw people into the river without pulling people, and complain without opening the door. What kind of words? How insensitive is it!" Yu Mingwu's face was sweating immediately, he just nodded.He himself knew that this jingle was spread from Mashan County, and Zhu Huaijing didn't know what to say, it was to save face for him. "Mingwu, you are the oldest secretary of the county party committee in the whole district, and the prefectural party committee values ​​you very much. Don't stumble over this kind of thing, and be careful." Zhu Huaijing said earnestly.Yu Mingwu understood Zhu Huaijing's meaning and was very grateful. At this time, when Xiang Yunqi pushed the door and came in, Yu Mingwu hurriedly waved his hand.He said "ready to eat" to Yun Qi, and then left. Zhu Huaijing went on to say: "Your county party committee should study it carefully. I will only say one principle. Responsibilities must be clearly defined and sternly dealt with. Don't deal with errands." Zhu Huaijing said: "It is better to learn the lesson early than to learn it late. Mashan will be the site of the city's agricultural industrialization conference, so we can't let such a thing hang in the air. Well, let's go eat." Zhu Huaijing never mentioned Xiang Yunqi However, Yu Mingwu understood that his intention was to deal with this person. When I entered the cafeteria, I saw a table full of dishes, which had already been set.Zhu Huaijing thought, to conjure up so many dishes at once, even Jingdu's famous magic master Yuan Xiaoqi couldn't do it.They must have ordered it in the restaurant early on, and seeing that they refused to go here, they asked someone to bring it.Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but sit down happily.He just said: "What are you doing with so many dishes? You can't eat them." Seeing that Yu Mingwu and Xiang Yunqi were the only ones at the table, he said, "It's just the five of us, we can't eat them. Let them eat together." Yu Mingwu said: "He is restrained and refuses to come, let's eat." Zhu Huaijing said: "Then call the master, and share half of it, and let the comrades sit at another table outside." Seeing that Zhu Huaijing insisted on this, Xiang Yunqi asked someone to bring a bowl, and shared some away.Yu Mingwu repeatedly sighed, "Secretary Zhu is really a real person." He raised his glass to Yun Qi and prepared to toast.Zhu Huaijing didn't wait for him to speak, but shook his hand and said, "Today I'm taking the lead and changing the rules. Don't toast first, let me do the toast first. You work very hard at the grassroots level. On behalf of the prefectural committee, I thank you. Come on, let's work together." Take this cup." After Zhu Huaijing toasted the cup, everyone raised their glasses in turn according to the customary etiquette.After Xiang Yunqi had a few drinks, he talked a lot. "Secretary Zhu, we work at the grassroots level. It's so difficult! Let's talk about the body. It's really like what Comrade Stalin said. If it's made of special materials. If you don't sleep for several days and nights, you have to suffer; sleep next to the pillow. If you snore, you need to sleep well; if you can’t eat a mouthful of food, you need to be hungry; if you sit at the wine table without being timid, you need to drink well; if you encounter brutal people, don’t be afraid, you need to be hard; " Yu Mingwu hastily called Xiang Yunqi to stop, "Xiao Xiang, once you're drinking, you don't have to stop your mouth. You can just talk to me about your stupid theory, and report it to Secretary Zhu." Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "I also work at the grassroots level. What Comrade Yun Qi said is actually the truth." Xiang Yunqi's face was so good drinking, his neck was already red.Seeing that Zhu Huaijing didn't blame him, he wanted to toast again, and smiled boldly, making his face even redder. Yu Mingwu doesn't look good when he drinks.Looking at Xiang Yunqi's elated look, his slightly pale face looked a little dignified.He might think that Xiang Yunqi, who was as cheerful as a monkey, was about to be punished, but he was still in the dark. Zhu Huaijing canceled the original arrangement and stopped going to the county.After dinner, I rushed to Umeji.Zhu Huaijing shook hands with his comrades to say goodbye, but Yu Mingwu insisted on sending him to the county boundary. It was late at night when Zhu Huaijing returned home.When Xiangmei heard the movement, she got up and took his clothes for him, and helped him take a bath.After washing and refreshing, putting on clothes, and standing in front of the mirror to take a picture, I suddenly feel that I am very strange. How can I have such a strange feeling?I also remembered that I was really muddle-headed today.I wanted to go down to see the real situation, but it made me laugh and cry.It's really difficult. Last time I went to Mashan, I let the subordinates arrange it, but I was deceived everywhere. This time I went down by myself, but I hit a wall everywhere. Zhu Huaijing came out of the bathroom and saw that Xiangmei was still awake, sitting on the sofa, as if she had something to say. "Take Qiqi to see a doctor, but nothing is wrong." Xiangmei said. Zhu Huaijing said, "It's good that there's nothing wrong with it, but what's wrong with this child?" Xiangmei said: "The doctor who saw Qiqi was a young doctor, also surnamed Zhu. He said he was honored to be from your family. He also said that he wanted to visit you." Zhu Huaijing was angry when he heard this: "What's wrong with you?" Xiangmei said, "Who am I? I blame the driver in my bureau. When I met him, I told him that this is the son of Secretary Zhu of the prefectural committee. Please take a good look at it." Zhu Huaijing thought about it, and laughed, "Okay. Since he is a Ph.D., it must be good. If these people are similar, it's okay to make friends with them. It's like hiring a family doctor." But Xiangmei sighed and said, "Xiang Jie went to Qingyun Nunnery and asked the old nun for advice." Zhu Huaijing said, "Really?" Xiangmei took out a red paper bag, opened it, and saw several small red paper bags inside.Zhu Huaijing reached out to take it, but Xiangmei hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "It can't be taken apart." " Zhu Huaijing didn't want to ask too many questions, for fear of committing a crime.Xiangmei said: "This magic spell is a bit evil." Zhu Huaijing was puzzled, "How can Buddhist magic be evil?" Xiangmei said: "These are seven small red envelopes, all of which contain some money. I went out in the middle of the night and threw them on the road in seven places, and let passers-by pick them up. Whoever picks them up will get bad luck. The bad luck is gone." This is simply sorcery, how could it be done by Buddhism?Zhu Huaijing didn't think so, but didn't say anything. Xiangmei looked at him strangely, and said after a while, "Why don't you accompany me to pay for it? It's midnight, and I dare not go alone." Zhu Huaijing still didn't say anything, and went to change clothes.The two stopped talking and went downstairs without a word.It was late at night, and the yard was very quiet.The dark shade of the trees and corners seemed to be hiding something frightening.Xiangmei held Zhu Huaijing tightly, her hands trembling.Zhu Huaijing knew that she was very scared, but he still didn't speak, just patted her hand. The two of them left the office compound like thieves, and walked a long way before Xiangmei took out the red envelope.She didn't even dare to make a throwing movement, but secretly let go of her fingers, letting the red envelope fall from her hand, as if she was afraid that someone would see it.Seeing Xiangmei like this, Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but feel his chest thumping. After throwing away the red envelopes, the two returned to the agency compound arm in arm.Xiangmei's body trembled even more, her teeth were banging loudly.Zhu Huaijing hugged her tightly, thinking that after all this woman is too kind to do anything wrong.During the night, Zhu Huaijing woke up several times to see Xiangmei's eyes wide open.
