Chapter 5 chapter Five

Du Guanghui stayed at home for two days.Huang Li has been busy working outside, and she doesn't come back until after ten o'clock every night.Du Guanghui asked her, she was just talking about business.If you ask again, just don't answer. Du Guanghui was depressed because of this. A person who has been in the office for a long time is suddenly unable to go to work in the office. Don't tell me, he is really uncomfortable.Although there are only two days, in normal times, it is also a weekend.But Du Guanghui always feels different.At work, everyone looks forward to vacation.No matter how long the vacation is, it can't be enough.However, now that Du Guanghui has become a temporary cadre, it is not easy to go to the office, at least not often.He now remembered that his place of work should be Tongshan County.

The small county town of Tongshan now appeared in front of Du Guanghui's eyes. Surrounded by mountains, there is no peace.Du Guanghui suddenly fell in love with him from the bottom of his heart. Du Guanghui followed Minister Ding to meet Secretary Lin in the county that day, which was considered a report.On that day, he planned to live in Tongshan, but Director Ye said that Secretary Du's accommodation had not been arranged yet.The dormitory was originally arranged for temporary cadres to live in, because Director Liu of the Provincial Letters and Calls Office who was temporarily on a temporary job in the previous session was transferred in advance after only half of the job, so the house was arranged separately.Secretary Lin said: "Then let Secretary Du rest for a few more days, don't worry, come to Tongshan, just report."

These words made Du Guanghui feel a little uncomfortable.What do you mean by "just report it"?I came here to be the deputy secretary in all seriousness.Although it was only a two-year suspension, it was decided by the provincial party committee.How can it be reported? However, Du Guanghui did not say this.He is a person who doesn't like to care about these things.What he prefers is to hide some thoughts deeply in his heart.He just said to Director Ye: "Okay, I'll come over next week." "When the time comes, Secretary Du, please call the office first, and I'll send a car to pick it up." Director Ye said as he closed the car door.

After returning to the provincial capital, Huang Li was still angry.Du Guanghui didn't bother to explain.In fact, what is the use of explaining?The documents were all out, and people also went to report.Counting the two years of suspension, several days have passed. It is now December, which is the coldest time of the year in the provincial capital.It doesn't mean that the temperature is low, but it is caused by the lack of embarrassment in this season.Every year, the heating of the provincial capital starts in the twelfth lunar month, which is the end of December in the Gregorian calendar.However, during this period of time without heating, the temperature was actually only between two or three degrees.Without heating, the house is deserted.When the radiator is heating, you only feel the heat; but when it is not heating, you feel colder when you look at it.Du Guanghui walked around the house a few times, thinking: Why not go to Tongshan, I am already the deputy secretary there, where else would I go?

Du Guanghui tidied up and went out.Only then did he realize that Tongshan was several hours away by car.It's not like in the provincial capital, just walk away, or just take a taxi.Let's go to the station and take a taxi, but... thinking about it, it seems that I haven't taken a taxi at the station for a long time.Director Ye said a few days ago that a car would pick him up, but that's not always good. Du Guanghui thought about it, and went to the station anyway. After getting on the bus to Tongshan, Du Guanghui saw that there were all kinds of people in the bus.But the overall color is still a dark blue.Like the color of the trees in Kiriyama mountain area.The accents of the people in the car were mixed, and Du Guanghui seldom understood what they said.Thinking in this way, Du Guanghui felt that in China, in addition to Mandarin, there is another language, and that is the official language.In officialdom, dialects have basically disappeared.Turning on the TV, or listening to a report, is almost an accent of Mandarin.When officials get together, the language naturally changes from the local dialect to the official Mandarin.They can understand, understand, and accept.

A middle-aged man was arguing with the conductor, and Du Guanghui listened to it, to the effect that it was because the man thought the fare was too high, so he insisted on paying less. The female conductor was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she had to pay a lot.The two were arguing, saying it was arguing, but it was louder.The car continued to drive forward.After the man sat down, holding the money in his hand, the conductor didn't make a sound.The man took out a huge tea bottle from his bag, opened it, and took two sips.Du Guanghui seemed to smell the faint fragrance of the tea.

The man asked, "Are you going to Tongshan too?" This time Du Guanghui heard it clearly and nodded. "Visiting relatives? Doing business? Look at you, you don't look like you are in business, but in an agency." "Ah, something is wrong. Are you going to Kiriyama too?" "Yeah, my house is there. If I don't get to Tongshan, can I still run out of China? I heard that it's going to snow, so I hurried back." "Snow?" Du Guanghui seldom reads the weather forecast. "When it snows, this road will be blocked. Tongshan will become a dead mountain."

"How do you say that?" "The mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and the road is even more closed! The people in the mountain are suffering, and they are here." The man sighed. "Originally, the end of the year is the best time to sell tea, but every year there is heavy snow, and the roads are impassable. I have to entrust the tea to the dealers. They made money. We grow tea, but the tea output is not high, and we have a lot of money. Can't keep up with the good sales, alas!" Du Guanghui knew that Tongshan produced tea.In the introduction of Tongshan County, tea is the main agricultural specialty product of Tongshan.Tongshan's economy has two main sectors, one is tea and the other is minerals.

Du Guanghui looked at the man's face, which was rough and reddish because of the cold weather.The money was in the man's hand and he kept holding it. "Which township are you from?" Du Guanghui asked. "Woershan, the innermost township in Tongshan. It is also the poorest. Mines have been opened in other places, and only tea can be grown here. There is no one to organize it. The tea grows beautiful, but it is sold at a low price. Poor Wo Son!" Du Guanghui had never heard of the name Woershan, and he knew too little about Tongshan. The car wobbled a bit on the road.Du Guanghui had already experienced this, so he didn't feel anything.The man looked at Du Guanghui and said, "You are short of clothes, the temperature is going to cool down soon."

"Ah!" Du Guanghui looked out of the car window, the sky was indeed gray. "It's going to snow, it's winter at home..." After walking for another hour, Du Guanghui felt a little cold on his body.There are high mountains on both sides, and the vegetation on the mountains is surprisingly good.He had heard it a long time ago that people in the mountains don't collect firewood anymore.Trees and grass grew up on the mountain, and wild animals began to appear.In some places, because there are too many wild boars, it is impossible to grow crops. Du Guanghui asked the man, "I heard that there are no laborers in the mountains now, so the economy..."

"Ah, this. Now I can't work all over the village. In the first few years, I also worked outside. In the past two years, my wife was not in good health, and my child was studying again, so I had to come back. Once I came back, I couldn't live. After a year, it’s only three or two thousand yuan, which is not enough to care about the children’s tuition fees. I have to go out in the spring, but the family is worried..." "Isn't there some new rural policy? Including direct food subsidies?" "Yes. But in our old mountain, if there is no field, there will be no direct compensation." The man looked at Du Guanghui with a somewhat hollow gaze. "Then the local government doesn't think of a way?" "What do you think? They all went to mine. In our village, no one even wants to be a secretary. In the end, the party members took turns, and each of them worked for a year. If you say this, what kind of economy are you doing? Sigh!" This is the first time Du Guanghui has heard of the village secretary taking turns.But he didn't ask in detail, he wanted to wait until he was in the county, and then slowly understand.He shrank his body and asked the man: "If Woershan really wants to engage in economics, what should we do?" "Tea! There is only tea. The tea in our place is really good. It's just that they don't know the goods. It's a pity that they are sold at a low price. In the early years, it was said that the tea was given to the emperor. Now, it is said to be the development of tea. , but no one is serious about doing it. There are fewer and fewer tea gardens, and tea growers are becoming more and more rare. In fact, if the government can find a way and organize it, this tea can not only produce output, but also Can make a price. Look at other people’s yellow buds, it’s not the same. One catty is more expensive than our three catties.” Cheap tea hurts farmers, Du Guanghui suddenly remembered this sentence. At this moment, the man glanced at Du Guanghui again, and asked, "I think you look like you are from the province. My name is Huang Dazhuang. Next time you go to Wo'er Mountain, come find me. I'll give you some authentic Wo'er." Wild tea, alas, that smell..." The man closed his eyes for a while, as if intoxicated. Du Guanghui nodded and said he would definitely go.He also said that he came to Tongshan from the province to work, and he would definitely go to Woershan in the future. The car continued to move forward, and someone in the car yelled, "It's snowing, it's snowing!" Du Guanghui looked out of the window, the snowflakes were huge and in clusters, pouring down from the sky between the mountain peaks.The speed of the car has obviously slowed down.Huang Dazhuang said that it was snowing in the mountains, and soon, maybe when we reached Tongshan, the road would be blocked. "Oh, there are still fifty miles from the county seat to Mount Wo'er, I don't know..." "How many ways to Tongshan?" Du Guanghui was also a little anxious. "It's another hour." The car moved forward slowly, and the sky became darker. No one spoke anymore, Huang Dazhuang looked out of the car window, still holding the money in his hand.The mountains on both sides are like a person, who is going from full of blue hair to white hair.First, the temples are gray, then gradually covered, and then there is a silver hair.A silver-threaded mountain is even more speechless.The people in the car also looked out the window, speechless. Du Guanghui's cell phone rang. "Du Guanghui, where have you been?" It was Huang Li. "I'm in Tongshan." "Tongshan?" "Yes, in the car." "Why didn't you just leave? Where's the child?" "Something happened in the county." Du Guanghui didn't want to say any more, but the phone call suddenly stopped.Only hissing, no human voice. Du Guanghui fed him a few times, but there was still no sound.Someone next to me said that the signal is not good, and in mountainous areas, it is considered good to have a signal.Du Guanghui put down his phone and looked outside.It was the top of the mountain just now, and the signal was still clear.At this moment, the car went down to the river valley, and the signal disappeared immediately. The sky, which was still gray just now, is now bright.Surrounded by snow, the car was driving slowly on the road like a beetle carrying snow. Du Guanghui felt hungry and ate little in the morning. He expected to arrive at noon.I don't want to think it's two o'clock in the afternoon, and the car is still squirming on the road.Huang Dazhuang took out a steamed bun from his bag and gnawed it carefully.At this time, Du Guanghui even smelled the aroma of steamed buns.He swallowed quietly. After Huang Dazhuang finished eating the steamed buns, the car finally got out of the valley, turned over a high slope, and climbed towards the location of Tongshan County.From afar, Du Guanghui saw that snow had covered the county town.He didn't expect the snow in this mountain to come so fast, so fast, and cover the ground so easily. When getting out of the car, Huang Dazhuang glanced at Du Guanghui, and suddenly asked: "I think you look like a leader, why don't you take a small car?" "Ah, haha, this is not very good. Next time, go to Woer Mountain." "You are welcome." Huang Dazhuang smiled and got out of the car with the others. Du Guanghui's feet stepped on the snow, making a crisp sound.Tongshan County is not big, like a small silkworm nesting in this valley.No one here knows Du Guanghui, Du Guanghui is like any outsider, walking forward step by step in the wind and snow in Tongshan. Relying on his memory, Du Guanghui found the county committee, which is actually the seat of the county government. At the door, several guards were sweeping snow.Du Guanghui kept walking in, but was stopped. "What are you doing? Who are you looking for?" The guard's eyes bulged. "I'm, ah, I'm here for work." "Working? Which unit? Why haven't I seen it?" "It's from the county party committee. My name is Du Guanghui." "Du Guanghui? I don't know." The guard shook his head. A doorman who was sweeping the snow came over and looked at Du Guanghui, "Are you Secretary Du who is here to take up his post?" "That's right," Du Guanghui laughed, but his stomach grumbled at the same time. "Secretary Du, I'm sorry, you, heavy snow, have... come in, please go in. I'll see you off." The guard who was still questioning him just now was overly enthusiastic. Du Guanghui said thank you, I will go up alone.Going up the stairs, Du Guanghui saw that there was no one in the corridor, and everything was quiet.Walking further in, he heard a voice coming from the direction of the meeting room, ah, there is a meeting. Du Guanghui sat down in the office next to the conference room, feeling another burst of cold.He poured a glass of water and drank it to warm him up.At this moment, he heard someone pick up his mobile phone in the aisle, so he walked to the door.It was Director Ye.Director Ye also seemed a little surprised, and nodded to Du Guanghui while answering the phone. "Secretary Du, what's the matter? You didn't say hello before you came, look, look, this..." Director Ye held the phone. "I came to see. Where are they?" "It's in a meeting. You are... how about it, the room has been arranged, I'll let someone take you to the room first." "A meeting? What meeting?" "Anti-snow. When it snows, Tongshan will be able to resist the snow, and it will be arranged in a procedural way. It's okay, you wait, and I'll send you off." Director Ye went to the meeting room as he spoke, and called Xiao Wang from the door , Xiao Wang came out, he was a very young guy.Director Ye said that Secretary Du's room is arranged in the county party committee guest house, and you should send Secretary Du there first. "Also, say hello to the guest house. Forget it, I'll call the director right away." Du Guanghui said this... Xiao Wang said, "Secretary Du, let's go." Du Guanghui followed Xiao Wang out of the gate of the county committee.Xiao Wang said: "It's very close, it's over there." He pointed with his finger, and Du Guanghui looked in the direction of his finger. It was really close, diagonally opposite the county party committee, and it was no more than three hundred meters away.Xiao Wang said: "Every time the temporary leader comes here, the conditions are good. Secretary Du, how did you come here just now?" "Ah, I came here by car." "Hitchhiking?" Xiao Wang glanced at Du Guanghui and said, "You're the first leader I've ever seen to ride a car by himself. There's a joke these days. I wonder if Secretary Du has heard of it?" Du Guanghui said, "This... joke?" "It's like this. Say 'the three representatives of leadership are: the grade of the vehicle represents the grade of leadership, the grade of a lover represents the quality of leadership, and the grade of drinking represents the level of leadership.'" "Then I'll take a ride by myself, wouldn't it be..." "This is called riding with the people." Du Guanghui found that although Xiao Wang looked shy, he was very open-minded and humorous when he talked about it. When we arrived at the guest house, Xiao Wang called the director.Surnamed Wang.It's a woman.She is probably in her thirties, so she can't be said to be pretty, but she has a bit of temperament. Director Wang held Du Guanghui's hand. This soft little hand was very warm. "Secretary Du, I heard that you are coming. The room is packed, and I will accompany you up there." The rooms are on the fifth floor, and the hotel has six floors.The location on the fifth floor should be said to be very good.Du Guanghui looked at the equipment in the room, although it was simple, it was very neat.Director Wang put his business card on the table and said: "If you need any service or anything, Secretary Du can tell me at any time. I will arrange it." "That's enough, thank you Director Wang." Du Guanghui was polite. Director Wang checked the water and electricity comprehensively, and then left.After a while, he turned back and said, "I've already made an agreement with the restaurant about the meal. Secretary Du can go there anytime." Director Wang's words made Du Guanghui's stomach growl again.He glanced at Xiao Wang and asked if there was a restaurant nearby?Xiao Wang said that he has been in the car all the time, and the Chinese food has not been resolved yet?Du Guanghui nodded, Xiao Wang said it was easy to handle, and asked Director Wang to ask the restaurant to prepare and deliver it.Du Guanghui hurriedly stopped him, saying that this is not very good, and that he would trouble others when he first arrived.Xiao Wang said with a smile: "What's the point? Let them do it to think highly of them? It's not that they don't pay, the account is all on the head of the administrative department." With that said, Du Guanghui no longer stopped him.Xiao Wang called and went out for a meeting.When I came back, I said to Du Guanghui: "The snow is too heavy, and the leaders of the county party committee have divided their work to various towns." Du Guanghui thought for a while and asked, "Where's Secretary Lin?" "Secretary Lin seems to be here. He is going to take command." "Then I'll go find him. Since I'm here, I'll go down too." "Secretary Du, you should rest. The snow is troublesome, and you are not familiar with the towns." "It still doesn't work." Du Guanghui said, picked up the phone beside the bed, and asked Secretary Xiao Wang Lin's office number.Xiao Wang reported hesitantly, and Du Guanghui called.After more than a dozen rings, it was connected. It seemed to be the secretary. Du Guanghui gave his name, and Secretary Lin picked it up, saying that he was in a meeting just now. "I'm Tongshan's deputy secretary now, Secretary Lin, about the matter of resisting snow, do I have to..." "Ah, ah, this. This... I think so, you can sit with me in the county committee, and you are familiar with the situation. How about it?" "Of course. I'll go to the county committee later." Put down the phone, and the food was delivered in the restaurant.Actually make three dishes and add a soup.Du Guanghui said too much, too much, how can one person eat a lot?really... Xiao Wang smiled and said it was a quota.You can eat it or not, but they remember it anyway. Du Guanghui ate some in a hurry, and went back to the county committee together with Xiao Wang. Secretary Lin was reporting the snow situation to the province and nodded to Du Guanghui.After the report, Secretary Lin said: "Secretary Guanghui, why is this heavy snow coming? This year, the snow is heavy. You can see that it has fallen by more than 20 millimeters in just a few hours. The forecast says there will be even bigger ones. Amazing!" "Yeah, I came all the way in the morning, and the snow was heavy." Du Guanghui said. "The other comrades have all gone down to the townships. If they don't go to the townships, I'm afraid there will be problems." Secretary Lin seemed a little worried. The phone calls kept coming, reporting snow conditions from all over the country.Secretary Lin drank tea, chatted with Du Guanghui about some matters in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and then talked about Minister Ding.It is said that the old man has a strange personality and likes to scold people at every turn. Du Guanghui said: "It's not anymore. I sit in the office all day long, acting like a normal person. I seldom lose my temper." "That's right, a commissioner, what kind of temper can he have when he becomes a deputy minister in the ministry?" Secretary Lin said, asking about Du Guanghui's family situation, and briefly talking about Tongshan. "I didn't want to come to this poor place before. It was arranged by the organization, so I can't do it if I don't come. There is nothing but mines. Poor, the poorer the place, the harder it is to get. People are different!" "Isn't there still tea..." Du Guanghui asked. Secretary Lin smiled, "Tea? Yes, and there are a lot of them. But the quality of Tongshan's tea has never been good, and the price can't go up. I have a headache, and I don't have the energy to ask the above." Du Guanghui took a sip of water and smiled. Secretary Lin answered a few more calls, and one or two of them made him angry, "These people, the road is blocked, and organize people to clean it. Otherwise, what do you want? Isn't Secretary Li of the county party committee here? Ah, where is he going?" Already? Ask him to call me immediately. Where is the Wang Huzi in the village? All members must come to make sure nothing serious happens." Du Guanghui heard the anxiety in Secretary Lin's words.He stood up, but could find nothing to do. Secretary Lin blushed, "It's snowing, so I'm afraid of accidents, especially not killing people. This is the most important thing. As long as people don't die, everything will be easy. At this time, it's too shameful to be sloppy." Director Ye came in, greeted Du Guanghui, and handed over the provincial biography.Judging from Ming Chuan, it is snowing in most places in Jiangnan Province, and the amount of snowfall is very heavy. The snowfall within six hours has reached a once-in-fifty-year event.Among them, the snowfall in Tongshan was 22 millimeters, and the snowfall in the east of the lake also reached more than 20 millimeters.With this snowfall speed, all roads will be blocked by tomorrow morning, and the safety of people and animals in the mountainous areas will be threatened. "Immediately distribute this biography to all towns and villages. At the same time, the relevant departments are asked to set up small teams and be on standby at any time." Secretary Lin said, looking at Du Guanghui, Du Guanghui said: "If you have any questions, please ask Secretary Lin for instructions. " "That's right. Now that we're in the county, we've caught up with the heavy snow again. I think so, you go to Chengguan Town to supervise. Director Ye, send a comrade in the office to accompany Secretary Guanghui." Director Ye said yes, and asked Secretary Du Guanghui to go out of Secretary Lin's office.When I arrived at the county party committee office, I found the deputy director, Hou Min, and asked him to accompany Secretary Du to Chengguan Town. "Be sure to pay attention to Secretary Du's safety," Director Ye urged from behind before leaving the house. Du Guanghui smiled, what's not safe about this.It is to fight the snow, not to go to the battlefield. But as soon as he arrived in Chengguan Town, Du Guanghui's thoughts changed.Secretary Cheng of Chengguan Town reported the snow situation to Du Guanghui. The hardest hit areas in Chengguan Town were mainly two old streets and a suburban village.The houses in the old street are old, and the snow is heavier, and it may collapse.Although the suburban village is a suburb of Chengguan Town, it is already in the mountains.There are some extremely poor households there, and it is very troublesome in this heavy snow day. "We have already organized five groups to work on different points. Secretary Du, please rest assured. Secretary Du came to our town to fight snow as soon as he arrived in Tongshan. We are so moved." Secretary Cheng had a bearded face, as he said The town secretary, might as well be said to be a figure in the rivers and lakes. Dinner was in Chengguan Town, and Secretary Cheng said that he wanted to drink some wine no matter what, one was to catch the wind for Secretary Du, and the other was to warm up because it was too cold.Du Guanghui couldn't bear it, so he also drank two cups, and his body became warmer.Back at the guest house, the air conditioner in the room was already on, Director Wang came over again and said hello.When Director Wang left, Du Guanghui suddenly felt empty.Although I used to travel frequently on business, it is also common to stay outside.But somehow, it felt different this time.This is the house that actually became Du Guanghui's home in Tongshan for two years.He remembered his son, so he picked up the phone and called back.No one picked up at home, so he smiled, Huang Li must still be outside, Fanfan hasn't come back from self-study last night. Turn on the TV, it's the weather forecast.Usually, Du Guanghui doesn't pay much attention to this.Now, he pays attention.According to the forecast, there will be heavy snow or even blizzard in most parts of the province in the last three days. When the news opened, it was already constantly reporting on the situation of snow resistance in various places.Du Guanghui saw the governor who was in a meeting appearing at the snow removal scene. He was still behind the governor and saw Ouyang Jie, the Minister of Propaganda. When Du Guanghui woke up early the next morning, as soon as he went out, he saw that the snow was getting thicker. When I went to the county party committee, Secretary Lin said that the roads in 15 villages and towns had been cut off.There was a family whose house collapsed on Woer Mountain, and the current news is that an old man with five guarantees was crushed to death.Secretary Lin asked Director Ye to tell the county magistrate Kai Zhenshan that the emergency plan will be activated immediately, and the whole county will enter a state of emergency against snow. Du Guanghui didn't say much, and after asking Secretary Lin for instructions, he went to Chengguan Town again.
