Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Du Guanghui stayed at home in the provincial capital for two days because Fanfan was ill.Fanfan's physique was not very good since he was a child. After high school, the pressure of study increased, and he didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, when Du Guanghui was in the county, Huang Li was always away.Fanfan often uses instant noodles when he goes home alone, so his body finally can't take it anymore.When Du Guanghui rushed home from the county, Fanfan was sleeping on the bed with a high fever.It is said that Huang Li went out with the manager to discuss a business deal.

Du Guanghui saw that Fanfan's face was flushed, and felt pain in his heart.He woke up the child and prepared to go to the hospital.Just as he was about to go out, he felt angry again, picked up his cell phone and called Huang Li.Huang Li said she was busy.Du Guanghui said he was busy with your head, Fanfan burned like a celebrity, are you still busy? Huang Li said that it is fine if you are not at home, and I will go back after I am done.Du Guanghui didn't say any more, and pressed the phone vigorously.I went to the hospital for a checkup and found that I had a severe cold.The infusion lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, when Huang Li came in a hurry.Du Guanghui ignored her, Huang Li said, "I really have something to do, and Fanfan didn't say anything."

"Do you want to talk about this? You have something to do, you... oh!" Du Guanghui swallowed his words while looking at the other people in the infusion room. After returning home, Fanfan's fever finally subsided.Du Guanghui has been at home with the child for the past two days.Fanfan looked at his father, wanted to speak a few times but didn't.Of course Du Guanghui saw it, and he had a vague sense of what Fanfan was going to say.However, he didn't ask.He didn't want Fanfan to say anything.The child's heart is already very heavy, and it may be better to let him decorate less.

It was getting late, and Director Ye of the County Party Committee Office called to inform Deputy Secretary Du Guanghui that the county would hold a joint party and government meeting.Secretary Du must attend.Du Guanghui hesitated for a moment and said that I would definitely be there.Director Ye said that's good, I will send a car to pick up Secretary Du. Fanfan raised his eyes and said to Du Guanghui, "I'm fine. I can go to school tomorrow." "It's better to rest at home for a few more days, your body is important." "It's okay. Don't worry. Dad, there is something I've always wanted to talk to you about." Fanfan looked at Du Guanghui, who nodded.

"Why did you go down to take a second job? Originally, you could still be at home, not only me, but also... You can also take care of your mother. But, if you go, mother..." Fanfan sighed. Du Guanghui also sighed, in fact, this is exactly what he imagined the child would say just now.He frowned and said, "Fanfan, I'm going down to work. As for your mother, she also has her own life. I will talk about her. You are grown up now, and I am very grateful that you can think about your father. But, from the bottom of my heart Speaking of which, since you are still young, I don't want you to think too much about these things."

"I understand what dad is thinking." Fanfan lowered his head and said, "I won't talk about it anymore." Du Guanghui listened, his nose sore.Fanfan is a sensible child.Although he said that he would not say anything in the future, but with such thoughts in his heart, he can... Maybe I really shouldn't go to work.Du Guanghui couldn't help thinking. At night, when Fanfan fell asleep, Du Guanghui went to Huang Li and wanted to have a good talk with Huang Li.Huang Li hid in the bed alone, ignoring him at all.Du Guanghui said: "You can ignore me. But, I have to say. You have been too..."

"What's the matter? Du Guanghui, don't talk nonsense." Huang Li turned around and shouted at Du Guanghui. Du Guanghui hurriedly said: "Don't quarrel, the child is asleep. I don't want to quarrel with you. I know that I will go to work, and you will feel angry. But I also want to work. Besides, it's only two years. You are a woman, why... ...I'm not saying I don't want you to work, but you have to distinguish between work and home, which is more important, right?" "Why can't I tell the difference? You're a big man, you just left without shaking your hands. Let me tell you, Du Guanghui, either you come back or I go out." Huang Li turned around again as she spoke.

Du Guanghui became angry, and he wanted to have a good post.But when he saw his son's room across the street, he suppressed it.He sat down on the chair beside the bed, feeling an indescribable emptiness. When Du Guanghui woke up the next morning, Huang Li had already gone out.Fanfan has already gone to school.Du Guanghui walked into his son's room and saw his son tidying up the desk. Thinking of what his son said yesterday, he felt a little heavy.He turned around, found a piece of paper, wrote a letter, and placed it beside his son's bed.Then he left another note for Huang Li, asking her to think about it and take care of Fanfan.

"In any case, the child is innocent." Du Guanghui wrote at the end of the note. At ten o'clock in the morning, Du Guanghui finished the Chinese food and waited for the car sent by the county.Just at half past ten, the car came. The joint party and government meeting in Tongshan County is held around the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month every year.The opening of this meeting means that the year of the lunar calendar is over.Although the Gregorian calendar is generally implemented, in many cases, for many things, the lunar calendar is still the main one.For example, at the county level, the summary of the year and the plan for the coming year are based on the lunar calendar.The topic of the party-government joint meeting is generally very clear. To study the commendations of the past year, discuss the report and related documents of the three-cadre meeting held after the approval, for other leaders of Tongshan County, the joint meeting is just a formality.All changes remain the same, and there will be no major changes if we discuss them again.However, when Du Guanghui got the topic of the joint meeting, he read it carefully.His first feeling was that there were too many topics.He counted, and there were fifteen items in all.

Looking at each topic again, eight of them involved rewards.Three related to reports, three related to documents, and one related to other issues. so much!No wonder foreigners say that there are so many conferences in China, so many problems, is it okay not to hold a conference? It was the first time for Du Guanghui to participate in such a joint meeting. As soon as he entered the meeting room, his eyes swept away, and it was packed with people.Attending the meeting were not only members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, but also the deputy county head, the executive deputy director of the National People's Congress, and the chairman of the CPPCC.Including the relevant personnel of the two offices, there are thirty or forty people at full count.However, no matter how many people there were, the seats were not messed up at all.Although there is no Shika, everyone knows where to sit and where not to sit.Du Guanghui saw Secretary Lin Yida sitting at the top, occupying a narrow square by himself.County magistrate Ju Shuhuai and deputy secretary Li Chang sat across the table.Below the county magistrate, there is an empty seat.Needless to say, it was reserved for Deputy Secretary Du Guanghui.

It should be, Du Guanghui hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat on the seat.Deputy Secretary Li Chang nodded to him.Li Chang had been studying at the Provincial Party Committee School in the previous stage, and this was the first time they met.Ju Shuhuai said: "That's Secretary Li Changli".Li Chang stretched out his hand across the table, and Du Guanghui quickly reached out, and the two of them shook hands and sat down again.Secretary Lin asked: "Is everyone here? The meeting will start when all are here." The first eight items on the agenda of the meeting are all through various rewards, including rewards for agricultural production, rewards for mine development, rewards for large taxpayers, rewards for party conduct and clean government construction, rewards for family planning, and rewards for advanced workers. Rewards, blah blah blah.Du Guanghui just listened.He first thought that the passage of these rewards should be very fast.All departments have finished reporting and there are no objections, isn't that all right?However, from the first reward, he knew he was wrong. After the department reports, first the government leader in charge of this work will give an explanation, and then the standing committee member in charge will give another explanation.The other team members start a discussion.Basically, everyone on the Standing Committee has to speak.Even if repeated, it is an attitude.The meaning of affirmation in the speech here is less, and the meaning of expressing attitude is more important.After the members of the Standing Committee had finished their speeches, the leaders of the National People's Congress and the Political Consultative Conference went on to talk, and finally Du Guanghui, Ju Shuhuai, and Lin Yida.After such a circle, each topic will take at least half an hour. When it is time to eat lunch in the morning, I will hurry up and finally finish the research on the reward.Among them, the last two rewards were actually just listening to the report once.By this time, everyone's stomachs are empty, who still has the mind to pick and choose? During the meal, Li Chang asked Du Guanghui: "Is it okay to come to the county?" "Yes. I am also from a rural area." Du Guanghui said with a smile. "But hurry up, it's only been two years, unlike us, who have stayed in the county for a lifetime, alas." "It's all the same, it's all the same." The first topic of the meeting in the afternoon is the report of the three leaders.Du Guanghui read this report carefully.He mentioned some of them, and even had some of his own considerations.For example, he wanted to propose at the meeting that tea development should be used as a breakthrough in Tongshan's rural economic development.Except for the retreat part, this report is the mine.Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance what position the Tongshan County Party Committee and the County Government place on mine development.That is the first priority, and it is the biggest project besides the political line. Du Guanghui finally stayed in the county for almost two months, and learned about some situations in the county.If Tongshan does not make a fuss about the mine, it is indeed difficult to come up with a better way.Du Guanghui has no objection to this point.But at the same time, he felt that the position of mine development was too high.Mines are resource-based, and as long as they are resources, they are limited.What's more, those who benefit from the mines are mainly the mine owners and the small ones are the finance ministers. Not many people actually benefit from the mines.Therefore, among the 200,000 laborers in Tongshan, 110,000 have been working outside the home for many years.Especially in mountainous areas, like Woer Mountain, it has nothing to do with mines and seems to be forgotten.If you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, you don't know when you will have to wait?To develop the tea economy, half of the villages and towns in Tongshan can be included. Moreover, the people are the biggest beneficiaries of the development of the tea economy.As long as the tea in Tongshan becomes famous and the output increases, there is no need to worry about the great development in the future. Director Kai of the Political Research Office of the County Party Committee finished reading the main report, and the entire conference room was silent for a while.For this main report, every year is very cautious.In fact, before the drafting, the secretary set the tone and gave the general idea of ​​the county's economic development in the next year from the perspective of the general policy and the macro.As for the specific measures, that is a matter for the leaders and secretaries in charge. From the lowest position to the highest position, everything is done according to the rules.Everyone talked about their views on the report, and the unanimous opinion is: this report has a lofty intention, a clear theme, and is consistent with the relevant spirit of the central, provincial and municipal governments.Moreover, it is in line with the reality of Tongshan, with appropriate measures and policies in place.Overall, it is a relatively mature report.But...Of course, as a report, there must be certain deficiencies and deficiencies.For example, the deputy county magistrate in charge of education believes that education is too little; the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee put forward that this report does not mention enough about the construction of the party's work style and clean government. This string is tightened in the middle; the executive deputy director of the National People's Congress emphasized that the report should further reflect democracy, and the chairman of the CPPCC believes that the report should actively play the role of the CPPCC in participating in and discussing state affairs, and express it in more words... Secretary Lin and County Magistrate Ju have been listening quietly, but Du Guanghui can't sit still.He felt that some of the speeches in this were completely egotistical thinking at work, and he emphasized what he was in charge of.If that is the case, the report may not be able to accommodate the current twenty-two pages, even if there are an additional twenty-two pages. The secretaries were remembering that people in the conference room went out to answer the phone from time to time, and those who were addicted to cigarettes went to the corridor to smoke.Du Guanghui's cell phone rang, and he hurried out to see that it belonged to Mo Yalan.Du Guanghui was a little excited and asked Mo Yalan what's the matter?Why did you call suddenly? "It's okay, I just remembered it. I was sitting in the office alone, bored. I remembered my old classmates. What? The county is not bad, right?" Mo Yalan's voice was magnetic. "It's just average. It's hard. It's like you, sitting in the office, with a cup of tea and a cigarette, and reading a newspaper for a long time." "Don't talk nonsense, I don't smoke. Where can I get a cigarette? Okay, okay, don't talk about it, remember to treat me to tea next time when you come back." "Of course. But what I want to treat you to is our Kiriyama tea." "Well, I can wait." Entering the conference room again, it was Du Guanghui's turn to speak.Du Guanghui took a sip of water.Although he is also a department-level cadre in the ministry, it is better than being in this county.He was really a little apprehensive.He took another sip of tea before saying, "I agree with the whole report, but I also have two opinions." No one spoke, Du Guanghui glanced at everyone and listened to each other. "First, I think the theme of this report should be considered from two aspects. One is the mine development that has been repeatedly emphasized in the report, and I think one should be added, which is tea development. These are the two legs of Tongshan. We must go at the same time. Only when we go in a coordinated manner can Tongshan's economy truly achieve sustainable and healthy development." Du Guanghui stopped for a while, and he heard Secretary Lin cough, and he continued: "The second opinion, in fact, just now Comrades also mentioned that, I think the main report of our three cadres meeting must run through a high-spirited spirit, that is, although Tongshan is a nationally designated poverty-stricken county, the cadres and masses of Tongshan are full of confidence. The future is bright." "This is very good!" Secretary Lin interjected. Du Guanghui said that I had finished speaking, and Secretary Lin looked at him.Deputy Secretary Li Chang began to speak.Then County Magistrate Ju Shuhuai said a few words briefly, and Secretary Lin began to make a final summary: "Everyone's speeches are very good, which shows that everyone has thought carefully, has good ideas for Tongshan's work, and put forward many good ideas. The policy research office is requested to seriously revise the report after the meeting. As for some issues mentioned by some comrades just now, such as the issue of developing tea production. I think this is also a good suggestion, but the development of tea has certain advantages in Tongshan. The lesson is that it has been done before, but it was not successful. Moreover, tea production is slow to take effect, while the tea market is ever-changing. Regarding this point, I think so. In the section on developing agricultural production in the report, add the words moderately develop tea production. Please ask Secretary Guanghui to take the lead in the next step and do some research on tea production. First conduct a small-scale experiment, and when it is successful, it will be promoted on a large scale." Listening to Secretary Lin's words, Du Guanghui scribbled fiercely on the notebook with the pen in his hand. He raised his head and met Secretary Lin's gaze.Secretary Lin said: "Comrade Guanghui, do you have any objections? That's it. Next topic." Of course Du Guanghui didn't have any opinions. The secretary said, even if you have opinions, you can't make any changes.He thought of Gao Yu, the female head of Yushu Township.Last week, Gao Yu made a special trip to give Du Guanghui their research on the development of tea production.At the same time, two boxes of authentic Wuliqing tea leaves from Woer Mountain were also delivered.Gao Yu said: "If Secretary Du really started tea production, it would be a great deed for the common people in Tongshan Mountain, and a great deed for the benefit of future generations. The common people will remember it." "I think it should be done. Try to reflect it in the report of the chairman of the three cadres." This was what Du Guanghui said to Gao Yu at the time, and now, these words are in vain.However, there is still one caveat, that is, the words “developing tea production” will appear in the main report.These words are a signal.With this signal, we can do what Gao Yu said is "great deeds for the benefit of future generations." However, no matter how he thought about it, Du Guanghui still felt a little uncomfortable.He went out and called Huang Li.Ask Fanfan how is today?all right? Huang Li said it's okay, she's so good, what can happen?Stop thinking about it. Du Guanghui hung up the phone and was about to go back to the conference room when Ju Shuhuai came out and said with a smile: "Secretary Guanghui's suggestion is very good, very good! It's just... well, I won't say it, I won't say it." "This..." Du Guanghui was a little confused. Since Ju Shuhuai thought his suggestion was very good, why didn't he say anything at the meeting just now?When Ju Shuhuai spoke, he only talked about the drafting of the main report, and thought that the report was a little low-key, a little messy, and a little less operable.Du Guanghui didn't know that this was what Ju Shuhuai said consciously.The main report of the three cadres meeting is undertaken by the county party committee office.The county magistrate is generally more strict with the materials from the county party committee office. Ju Shuhuai lit a cigarette and asked Du Guanghui if he would spend the Spring Festival in the provincial capital or go back to his hometown? Du Guanghui said he lived in the provincial capital.The child will take the college entrance examination next year and has no time.In addition, there is no one in my hometown, so going back is nothing more than visiting relatives.When I have time after the Spring Festival, I may go back and have a look. "This is also the case. Now the Spring Festival is not what it used to be. Human feelings are fading, it's just a name." Ju Shuhuai said.Then he asked: "Secretary Du doesn't smoke? Haven't smoked all the time?" "I smoked before, but I stopped smoking later." "That's not good. Quitting smoking is harmful to your health. Of course, this is my theory. Come on, smoke one. This cigarette is good, and it is supplied by the tobacco factory." As he spoke, Ju Shuhuai handed over a cigarette to Du Guanghui. After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up and lit it.The smell of smoke rushed into his nose, at first it was a bit pungent, and then it was the scent that he had been estranged for many years. "Don't tell me, it's really..." Du Guanghui laughed. "That's right, man, haha." Ju Shuhuai said, put out the cigarette butt, and entered the meeting room.Du Guanghui smoked the cigarette slowly, feeling calm in his heart.When he used to smoke, he generally didn't smoke in public, but liked to smoke when he was alone.Especially when he has troubles, he smokes more fiercely.Huang Li was particularly opposed and quarreled a few times, and then he quit completely.Minister Ding, the "No. 1 smoking gun" in the ministry, told him: Never smoke stuffy cigarettes, and treat smoking as enjoyment, that is the happiness of smoking. The cigarette that County Magistrate Ju Shuhuai gave just now really made Du Guanghui feel a little happy.After he finished smoking, he opened the door and entered the meeting room.Several documents are being studied, one of which is the document on the development of agricultural production.Du Guanghui read it beforehand, and it was all clichés.He would have liked to say more.But now he doesn't want to talk about it.Since Secretary Lin has decided to let him do a little experiment first, then we have to wait for the experiment.Therefore, when it was Du Guanghui's turn to speak, he only said that I had no objections, and stopped talking.Deputy Secretary Li Chang looked at Du Guanghui and smiled. After the meeting ended, Li Chang said, "Secretary Du is on hold, why bother..." Du Guanghui glanced at Li Chang, and Li Chang said: "The things below are complicated, complicated!" As soon as the joint meeting ended, it actually announced that the work of the lunar calendar year was basically over.If there is nothing special, everyone can arrange it freely.Some agencies directly under the county have even begun to implement the on-duty system.But for leadership, maybe this is just another meaningful special time coming. Du Guanghui naturally didn't understand these things.Although he has been in the officialdom these years, he has been far away from the real officialdom.It's not that he wants to stay away, but passively stays away.From the time he joined the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, in the first year, when he went back to his hometown during the Spring Festival, his father asked him to bring some local products to the minister at the time.In fact, it is two chickens and a basket of eggs.After that, he never stepped into the house of any ministry leader.His wife Huang Li once called him an elm bump.However, he has his own principles, and his most powerful counterattack language is: I didn't send it off, didn't invite me, didn't I also get promoted to the right place? This one does have some strength.Du Guanghui didn't send anyone off, nor invited anyone, but he became the deputy director of the office, and then became the full-time director-level vice chairman of the trade union.At his age, it should be said that it is not bad.Over the years, even though the Propaganda Department is the legendary Qingshui Yamen, there are still people who come to Du Guanghui for work.After all, the yamen is big, and there are some things that Du Guanghui can do, and it may be done with a phone call.People who do business can't do without giving something.Du Guanghui is not accepted in principle.However, in the face of great favors, he always couldn't stand a sentence: Didn't you give me a chance to thank you?This sentence carries a lot of weight, and it is the best weapon for a soft-hearted person like Du Guanghui. A college classmate who had been working in the county for two years told Du Guanghui that the favors in the county were even bigger than laws, regulations, and principles before Du Guanghui was about to leave.Du Guanghui didn't believe it, but the classmate said: "It's okay if you don't believe it. You will know when you get to the county." Too.China is a country that pays great attention to human touch.Where is there no favor?Who has no feelings? The so-called human touch, when it comes to officialdom, actually sometimes conflicts with the rules of officialdom.Favor has become an unspoken rule in officialdom.If you don't enter, you are likely to be alienated from the rules.When you enter, the human relationship is as big as the sky, and you are often in the quagmire of human relationship, sinking step by step. Those who clear themselves will clear themselves.This is a picture of Du Guanghui hanging in his office.He likes this picture, and he likes the meaning behind the words even more. Originally, Du Guanghui planned to go back after the meeting.However, the county magistrate Ju Shuhuai kept him. Ju Shuhuai called and asked Du Guanghui to stay in the county for another two days.On the 26th and 7th day of the lunar calendar, he wanted to ask Secretary Du to accompany him to the province. Du Guanghui understands what it means to go around. It means to connect and connect with each other. After one year is over, visit and visit.To put it bluntly, it is to give gifts.Those in the township are sent to the county, and those in the county are sent to the province.This is a favor in the officialdom, and it is no different from the favor between people.Which county is negligent in this official circle in a certain year, and the next year may be a ruthless year for this county.As a county magistrate, Ju Shuhuai certainly didn't want to do this.Tongshan is a nationally designated poverty-stricken county. Apart from the mines, most of its fiscal revenue comes from the support of various departments and units in the province. "Exchange small money for big money, and exchange the money they give for their money." This is a common practice in many counties.The money belongs to the Communist Party, and it is the same for everyone.You are impersonal, who will give it to you? Du Guanghui asked Ju Shuhuai on the phone: "Why did you think of taking me with you?" "Secretary Guanghui came down from the province, and the situation is familiar. If I don't ask you who?" Ju Shuhuai smiled and said, "I'll send you two cigarettes later. Smoke it, it's not a big deal of." "This...isn't that good. You see, Magistrate Ju, I don't smoke." Du Guanghui explained. "Returning to the old job, you will have your own happiness. Just wait, the person will be there soon." Ju Shuhuai said a few more words, and then hung up. After a while, Ju Shuhuai's secretary Xiao Li came over and handed Du Guanghui a big bulging envelope, saying that it was sent by the county magistrate.Du Guanghui picked it up and said thank you County Magistrate Ju for me.After Xiao Li left, Du Guanghui opened the envelope, and there were two cigarettes, and they were the internal offerings that Ju Shuhuai had given him. It's amazing!Du Guanghui thought to himself that there are so many cigarettes in the house, which is amazing! On the 23rd, Du Guanghui returned to the provincial capital to spend the new year.In fact, it was just a formality. Fanfan was just on vacation, and Huang Li was on a business trip.She was on a business trip knowing that Du Guanghui was coming back and Fanfan was on vacation.This made Du Guanghui unable to find any reason to disagree.Although his heart is the boss's displeasure.On the evening of the new year, Du Guanghui took Fanfan to drink two small glasses of beer.The child said, "Father, I see that you are old." "yes?" "Yeah, the white hair has increased again." "You have grown up too. When you grow up, Dad will grow old. This is the law." "I hope my father will always be young. It would be great if my father is not old!" Fanfan's eyes were full of indescribable pity. Du Guanghui reached out and touched his son's hair, his nose sore.He hurriedly said: "Drink a little, you are a man now." After dinner, Du Guanghui took Fanfan's hand and walked around the street.Fanfan said that he doesn't like the bustle of the street, so let's go home.The home is good, warm and quiet. Du Guanghui returned to the county the next day, because he was the deputy secretary, and he had an arranged sympathy mission.This time he went to Woer Mountain, and two other impoverished villages in the mountain. After running around and returning to the county, Du Guanghui's heart became heavier.He has never seen such a poor family, and he has never seen such an orphan who makes people feel pity... In addition to the money arranged by the civil affairs department, he gave them some money himself.He said to Gao Yu: "I really didn't expect..."
