Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

As soon as Chen Mo received He Biye's call, he immediately called Li Yiguang and told him that Mayor Zhang Xiao was coming to You County. Li Yiguang asked, should Secretary Shi and County Magistrate Luo be notified? As soon as Chen Mo heard it, he knew that the municipal government office had not notified You County to receive the reception, and said, it's fine if you know. As for whether to notify Secretary Shi and County Magistrate Luo, he should listen to the notice from the municipal government office.Li Yiguang understood and said, thank you, Chen Mo, don't worry, I know what to do.

After making the phone call, Chen Mo packed his briefcase, notebook, pen, and a change of clothes, and went out.Because it was the weekend, he didn't plan to let the people in the municipal party committee know.As soon as he went out, Yang Changjun came to pick him up by car.Yang Changjun said, Director Chen, the mayor asked me to pick you up.Chen Mo said, walk with two feet, what are you picking up, just lift your feet and you will be there.After getting in the car and arriving at the city hall, He Biye waited in the corridor, while Chen Mo got out of the car and waited by the car door.When He Biye saw Chen Mo coming, he went up to report to Zhang Xiao, saying, Mayor Zhang, Director Chen is here.Zhang Xiao said, let's go.As he spoke, he walked downstairs, He Biye followed behind with his bag in one hand and a water glass in the other.Chen Mo went up to greet him and said, Hello, Mayor.Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand, shook hands with him, and said, Chen Mo, let's go to your hometown for a walk this weekend, and don't disturb your rest.Chen Mo said, where will it be? I also want to go back to my hometown and have a look.As he said that, He Biye had already opened the car door, Zhang Xiao sat in the passenger seat, Chen Mo and He Biye sat in the back, and the car briskly drove out of the city government compound and headed for the city center.It was still early, and most of the residents did not get up as early as usual, so the streets were not as crowded as before.

Chen Mo asked, Mayor, what are you going to see in You County? Just walk around and have a look.Zhang Xiao said, anyway, there is nothing to do in the city, just treat it as leisure, isn't some kind of country tour popular now, we are also fashionable once. Chen Mo said, I'm afraid you want to visit the mine, if you go to the mine, this car will not work, the chassis is too short. He Biye also said that the roads in the mine are bad, and cars often get stuck. Zhang Xiao said, instead of going to the mine, this time it's just for fun, a combination of work and rest. He Biye said, Mayor, I don't believe what you say. A leader has no leisure to play.

Zhang Xiao just laughed, turned around and said to the back row, Xiao He really can talk, as if the leaders are all gods, so the leaders are not human? He Biye didn't know how to answer for a while, so he muttered for a while, saying that leaders are people made of special materials. Chen Mo couldn't help laughing, even Yang Changjun, who was concentrating on driving, laughed and said, Secretary He, you still need to practice your skills to flatter. Zhang Xiao also laughed and said, this is not flattery, haha. He Biye blushed in embarrassment.Chen Mo couldn't bear it. He Biye was only in his twenties. At this age, he was still working as a secretary in the county committee office. Looking back at that time, he was the same as He Biye now. relatively blunt.Chen Mo has dealt with He Biye many times, and he thinks this young man is good, gentle and well-written, he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, he is very considerate to the leader, he is a secretary, but he has less experience.Judging from Zhang Xiao's daily treatment of He Biye, Zhang Xiao was also satisfied with He Biye, and even doted on him a little, treating him like a child.So He Biye's words just now also have a bit of coquettish meaning.

The four talked and laughed, and left the city without knowing it.An hour later, when we arrived at the three-way intersection in You County, Chen Mo glanced out of the car window. At the intersection, there was a Sanling car parked, and the driver was busy repairing the car under the car.When Chen Mo's car passed by, Chen Mo saw Li Yiguang faintly from the car, and couldn't help laughing. Use it.Their car had gone a long way, only to see the Sanling car starting to follow from afar.Chen Mo didn't dare to look at it, for fear that He Biye would see it too. After joking all the way, everyone stopped talking, and only heard the rustling sound of wheels rolling on the oil road, like a light rain.Zhang Xiao cast his eyes out of the window, admiring the subtropical scenery beside the road, feeling very relaxed.It has been difficult for him to find a relaxed and peaceful mood like he is now.

Since he came to work in Chuxi City, he often felt lonely and empty for no reason, as if he was alone on an uninhabited desert island.As the mayor of a city, he does not lack many fans. Many people who want to curry favor with him are afraid that they will not be able to curry favor with him. Why do they still feel lonely?Zhang Xiao summed it up by himself, and came to the conclusion that he was too clear-headed. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people observe it, there are no friends. He is so clear-headed that he sees through everything. People with money in their pockets and ghosts in their stomachs always keep a distance like a protective film.This kind of relationship between people is like wearing a condom*, although there is only a thin layer between them, they can never be intimate.

Recently, the relationship between him and the secretary of the municipal party committee, Rouzhi, has become more and more subtle. When they met, everyone joked politely. Every time the two shook hands, it was like the handshake between great men in movies. The grip is strong, kind, and the smiles seem to have infinite trust in each other.But they all know that the relationship between them is actually like wolves staring at the same bone.Rouzhi has always regarded Chuxi as his own territory and does not allow others to touch it. When a stranger comes to this territory, he must have natural repulsion.

Not long ago, Hu Jianshe, the organization director who was also a foreign cadre, came to Zhang Xiao's dormitory and gave him a plan for personnel arrangements. Discussed and approved at a Standing Committee meeting.Hu Jianshe said, seemingly intentionally or not, that this was the third major personnel change this year. Hu Jianshe's words had a deep meaning, Zhang Xiao didn't understand, Zhang Xiao thought it might be Hu Jianshe's reminder to him.The three personnel changes in the city all happened before and after he came to Chuxi. On the eve of his coming to Chuxi, Chuxi City made a change to the county and city leaders. Mingli said it was a normal personnel change, but it was actually before he took office. Build a foundation.When he was the acting mayor, he was not familiar with cadres, and the routing was presided over. The municipal party committee once again mobilized the chief officials of the municipal bureaus. In fact, it was a blow to him as the new mayor.This time, the route also proposed to study personnel issues, which is simply provocative.If this personnel research is carried out according to Rou Zhi's ideas, as the mayor, he may become a god on a high throne, without even a promise kid underneath.

Zhang Xiao was thinking about something, when suddenly, the car stopped, and Yang Changjun said, "Damn it, there's a traffic jam again."Zhang Xiao looked forward, and the road was indeed crowded with vehicles in a haphazard manner, so long that it was almost impossible to see the end.Yang Changjun looked at Zhang Xiao helplessly, and said, "I can't make it through." Director Chen, go down and have a look, what's going on?Zhang Xiao said.Chen Mo agreed, opened the car door and jumped down.He Biye said, Director Chen and I will go together, and jumped out of the car as well.Chen Mo saw that this is where the government of Huanglong Township, Youxian County is located. There is a market here every five days. When going to the market, there are stalls on both sides of the road, which is prone to traffic jams. At the beginning, Chen Mo thought it was a traffic jam on the day of the market.The two of them crawled through the gaps in the cars. Before they reached the traffic jam, they saw some young people coming from there, stuffing things into each car one by one. They didn't know what they were stuffing, but their hands It has been stuffed with a stack of papers.Chen Mo looked down and saw that it was a small stack of leaflets. He took out one to read, and saw a few bold letters on the leaflet: "We want to produce, we want to survive!"

Chen Mo became interested all of a sudden, and stood there looking at the flyer, only to see that it said: "Passing drivers and passengers, we blocked your road, I am sorry for you, I hope you can understand. We blocked your road As a last resort, the Youxian county government sold all the water source of Xinglongtan Reservoir to Huiyin Group, Xingye Group, and Jinxin Group for mining production. People and tens of thousands of livestock have difficulty drinking water. The villagers in our five villages reported to the county and city many times, but they couldn’t get a solution. It was too dark in Chuxi, so we had to resort to this illegal method. We hope this matter will reach the provincial level. Li and Central. Drivers and passengers please spread our leaflets widely, we will be very grateful. We want to produce and we want to survive!" The signature below is: Shangdachong, Huanglong Township, Youxian County, Chuxi City, XX Province Village, Xiadachong Village, Jimingling Village, Yangjiazhai Village and Wachang Village.

After reading it, Chen Mo and He Biye continued to push forward. Before they could get to the front, they saw a banner written on a white cloth with ten words: "We want to produce, we want to survive!" A large group of people, there are a few people who look like cadres are in the middle of the crowd, talking hoarsely.Chen Mo glanced over and saw that Li Yiguang had squeezed to the front at some point and was talking to a township cadre in his forties. When Li Yiguang saw Chen Mo, he pulled the cadre over and asked, Director Chen , why are you here too? Chen Mo smiled and said, we happened to pass by too.Then he introduced He Biye, saying that this is Director He of the Municipal Government Office and Mayor Zhang's secretary.Li Yiguang said that he has admired him for a long time.Everyone shook hands.Li Yiguang said, I also happened to be passing by, and when I saw something was wrong, I called the mayor of Huanglong Township, Long Township, to solve the problem. This is a national highway, and if it is blocked for several hours, the State Council will file it.Then, he pulled the township cadre over and said, let's get to know each other. This is Deputy Director Chen of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and this is Director He of the Municipal Government Office.The township cadre hurriedly shook both hands, and said again and again, good leader!Chen Mo just wanted to laugh, and Li Yiguang introduced that this is Long Township Chief, Long Guoyong.Long Guoyong stretched out his hands again, held Chen Mo's hand tightly, shook it, and said, Hello Director Chen, I knew you when you were in our county committee office, and I was the deputy head of the township at that time. The director doesn't know me.Chen Mo listened, and took a good look at Long Guoyong. He seemed familiar. The deputy head of the township usually dealt with the government office, and had little contact with the county party committee office, so he was not familiar with it.Chen Mo and Long Guoyong shook hands, and said with a smile, Mayor Long, you have won the lottery today. To tell you the truth, we walked down with Mayor Zhang Xiao today, and Mayor Zhang's car also It just got blocked.When Long Guoyong heard this, he panicked and said, oops, the mayor is blocked here, what can I do. Li Yiguang asked knowingly, why, Mayor Zhang is here too?Chen Mo smiled secretly, thinking that Li Yiguang, who is usually a loyal elder, pretends to be like that. He obviously came to meet Zhang Xiao on purpose, but he just wanted to act like he happened to meet him at this time, just because there was another person beside him. Why bother, so it's hard to tell him.Just thinking about it, Li Yiguang said, Director Chen, the mayor is here, why don't you say hello to our county.Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, He Biye rushed over and said, Director Li, don't blame our Director Chen. Mayor Zhang only said he wanted to relax and refused to say hello to the county.Li Yiguang laughed after hearing this, and said, how dare I blame Director Chen, I mean today was too unfortunate, I didn’t meet my in-laws while riding a horse, but I ran into my in-laws while riding a donkey, Mayor Long, please organize the cadres in the village immediately And police officers at the police station, do a good job in the ideological work of the masses, clear the way, and be careful not to let the masses know that Mayor Zhang is here, so as not to be surrounded by the masses to petition the mayor and affect the work of the leaders. After Long Guoyong left, Chen Mo quietly asked Li Yiguang, taking advantage of He Biye's inattention, what's going on?Li Yiguang said, it's an old problem, and I can't explain it for a while, we just missed it.Chen Mo had doubts in his heart, thinking that it was a coincidence that the crowds gathered to block the road this time, it must be Li Yiguang's tricks, right?Just thinking about it, Li Yiguang said, shall we go to see Mayor Zhang right now?Chen Mo said, how can this work, wait for a while, we will report first, and then call you. Li Yiguang said to Chen Mo and He Biye, so how about it, the two directors, I will go to Long Township Mayor and the others to discuss and clear up the masses, and the mayor, you two, go and give me some good words, and wait for the road Once it's cleared up, I'll go face-to-face with Mayor Zhang for a review.Why Biye didn't know what to do, and said, Director Li, thank you for your hard work, don't delay too long.Chen Mo just laughed, and then everyone separated. Chen Mo and He Biye returned to their car, and saw Zhang Xiao sitting in the car carefully looking at the leaflets. Obviously, Zhang Xiao's car was also stuffed with a stack.Seeing them coming back, Zhang Xiao raised his head and asked, what's going on?Chen Mo was about to say something, but He Biye said first, the crowd was blocking the road to distribute leaflets.Zhang Xiao groaned.Chen Mo said, we went to see it, and Li Yiguang, the director of the Youxian County Party Committee, just came back from Chuxi for business, and was blocked there. He is coordinating with the Huanglong Township government and relevant departments to clear up the masses, and it may not take long to get through. He Biye went on to say that Director Li felt very sorry when he learned that you were also stuck here, and he said that he would come to you for a review when the road was cleared.Hearing He Biye's words, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing, thinking that it would be good for Why Biye to follow, since he didn't need to say a lot of things, so He Biye said it for himself. After sitting and waiting for a while, the road didn't seem to pass. Zhang Xiao said that instead of being uncomfortable in the car, he might as well go for a walk.While talking, he pushed the car door and got down, and said, Xiao Yang, you wait in the car. Let's go to the township government to have a look. When the traffic is opened, we will drive the car directly to the township government. The government, Xiao He, go find Director Li. If you find him, ask him to find me at the township government. I will wait for him at the township government.He Biye agreed to go. Chen Mo was right behind Zhang Xiao. The road was already blocked. Chen Mo cleared the way ahead and walked along the eaves of the houses on both sides.Chen Mo glanced at Zhang Xiao from time to time. Zhang Xiao's face was very calm, and there was no sign of agitation, let alone worry, as if he was taking a leisurely walk.Walking, Zhang Xiao shook the flyer in his hand and said, Chen Mo, what do you think about this?Chen Mo said, I haven't investigated this matter, so it's hard to say.Zhang Xiao seemed to be satisfied with his answer, and said, yes, there is no right to speak without investigation, as Chairman Mao said. When the two of them walked to the township government compound, they were both sweating. The township government compound was quiet, leaving only a young secretary guarding the house. The township cadres were probably transferred to the scene of the road blockage to deal with the road blockage incident. up.The secretary was wearing glasses and was writing something on the desk. When he saw someone coming, he asked, what's the matter?Just as Chen Mo was about to answer, Zhang Xiao jumped ahead and said, "The road is blocked, I'm here to take a break and ask for some tea."The young man raised his head and glanced at them, Chen Mo was secretly worried, for fear that he would say something unreasonable.Fortunately, the secretary didn't say anything unreasonable. Instead, he made each of them a cup of tea and said, let's drink it. The township government may not have tea, but there is still tea. Zhang Xiao took a sip of tea and asked, are you the secretary of the township government?The young man replied yes.Zhang Xiao said, then you should know, why are those ordinary people blocking the road?The secretary said, why, it's not because you can't live on, if you can live on, no one will cause these troubles. Zhang Xiao said, it's not that serious, right? In a peaceful and prosperous age, if you say it's a little bit poorer, it's still possible, if you say it's hard to live on, what about it? The secretary gave Zhang Xiao a strange look, and said, "You are a foreigner, so you don't know the difficulties of the people here. It turns out that our township is a well-known grain base with no worries about floods and droughts. Since the development of the mine, the county has opened up the upper reaches of the reservoir All the water sources in the country have been allocated to several mining companies, and thousands of acres of fertile land have no water for irrigation. It is so desolate, and the people have no food, how can they live on? Seeing that the young people talked too much, Chen Mo was afraid of saying something bad, so he said that the development of industrial enterprises is the focus now, and agriculture requires a little sacrifice.The secretary said, who said that the development of industrial enterprises must sacrifice agriculture?When Chen Mo heard that his point of view was indeed a little untenable, he quickly laughed and said, you are right, the development of industry does not have to sacrifice agriculture. After hearing this, Zhang Xiao became interested and asked, the county allocates all the irrigation water from the reservoir to enterprises. What's going on? Tell me about it?Seeing Zhang Xiao asking about this, the young secretary muttered unhappily, saying, what do you want to know about this? You are not the mayor of the province, so you can solve it? ! Zhang Xiao laughed and said, you little comrade, let me ask what is the matter, maybe you have to be the governor or mayor to ask.The young secretary smiled embarrassedly and said, that's not what I said, it's useless for me to tell you, and I still have something to say.Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Then the young man said that Huanglong Township is a town short of water. More than 20 years ago, the county built a small type II reservoir on top of this township. The reservoir is divided into East Irrigation District and West Irrigation District. Huanglong Township is located in the West Irrigation District. There are five villages in the township with more than 6,000 mu of land irrigated by the West Main Canal of this reservoir. Some villages also rely on this West Main Canal for drinking water for people and animals.A few years ago, Qinglong Township, another township above Huanglong Township, discovered lead-zinc mines and built many flotation enterprises and electrolysis plants.The bosses of these enterprises signed an agreement with the water management office in private. The company will provide a certain amount of funds to the water management office every year, and the water management office will allow the company to use the water source of the West Main Canal for production.Mineral flotation plants and electrolysis enterprises are high-energy-consuming enterprises, and the water consumption is very large. The entire West Main Canal has been drained and used up. The 6,000 mu of land in the five downstream villages has become a place to rely on for food. What's more serious is that drinking water for thousands of people and animals has become a big problem.The masses reported to the township government, and the township government also reported to the county government many times, but the problem still has not been resolved.In desperation, the masses often blocked the roads, hoping to attract the attention of their superiors. Once the masses blocked the roads, the county would instruct the township government to do work.Every year.I heard that the people in the five villages have started to communicate recently. If the government does not solve the problem, it will bomb those factories. Seeing that what the secretary said was similar to what the leaflet said, Chen Mo felt a little better.In fact, the contradiction between enterprises and agriculture competing for water resources began to emerge in Youxian County many years ago. These problems are difficult to solve. The rolling development of the past few years is indeed rich and powerful. For the county-level government, it is too big to lose. Even the county government can hardly compete with them.Just as he was talking, He Biye, Li Yiguang and Long Guoyong walked in.As soon as he entered the door, Li Yiguang came over and said, Mayor Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our work has not been done well, and I want to criticize you.Zhang Xiao held Li Yiguang's hand and said, you are Director Li, right? I heard Chen Mo talk about you.Li Yiguang smiled gratefully at Chen Mo and said, Director Chen, we used to be colleagues in the same office. Mayor, you visited our county when you came to Chuxi. Unfortunately, I was on a business trip in the provincial capital that time. at home. Next, Li Yiguang introduced Long Guoyong to Zhang Xiao, saying that this is the head of Long Township in Huanglong Township.Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand, Long Guo hurriedly stretched out his hands, held Zhang Xiao's hand, and said, welcome the leader to inspect and guide the work.Zhang Xiao said with a smile, okay, everyone can sit down wherever you want, don't be restrained. Zhang Xiao sat in the middle, with Li Yiguang on the left, and Chen Mo and He Biye on the right.Long Guoyong sat far away and sat opposite.Only then did the township secretary realize that it was the mayor who had been chatting with him for a long time. He was both excited and afraid that he had said something wrong just now, and his face turned red. Zhang Xiao looked at Li Yiguang and said, Director Li, have the people evacuated yet? Li Yiguang said that the evacuation is in progress, the mayor, and I also went to the city to handle some private matters, and it happened to happen when I came back, so it was my duty to deal with it together with the comrades in the village.Unexpectedly, you just happened to be blocked.After Secretary He found me, I immediately went back to the village with Mayor Long to meet you. Comrades from the township government, the police station, and the county traffic police stayed there and continued to do ideological work for the common people. .Shall we report to you first... Reporting is temporarily unnecessary.Zhang Xiao said, Comrade Yiguang, let's talk about work later.Then, he turned his head and said to Long Guoyong, Chief Long, this is your territory, should you do your best to be a landlord? We came out early in the morning, and our stomachs have already raised their opinions. How about it? Bowl of noodles? Long Guoyong was so excited that his face was flushed, and he said, it is the honor of our Huanglong Township that the leader eats here. I just wanted to ask the mayor for instructions, but I dare not say anything since you are busy with work.I'll arrange it right away, right away.With that said, he was about to run out.Zhang Xiao said, don't make it too complicated, we can't afford to wait for it to be too complicated, and it will be a waste. Long Guoyong hesitated and looked at Li Yiguang.Li Yiguang said, Mayor, at this time, it's time for lunch. How can a bowl of noodles satisfy hunger?Let's do this, let's eat the table, keep it simple.Seeing that Zhang Xiao didn't say anything, Li Yiguang said to Long Guoyong, "Major Long, what are you still doing in a daze, go make arrangements and eat in the canteen of your township government." Long Guoyong rushed out excitedly as if he had won a prize. After Long Guoyong left, Zhang Xiao smiled and said to Li Yiguang, "Yiguang, you Long Township Chief is still capable.Li Yiguang said that the old Paizi township cadres, the deputy head of the township Guang, have been the head of the township for eight years, and the head of the township has been the head of the township for five or six years. After chatting for a while, Zhang Xiao took out the leaflet from his pocket and said, Comrade Yiguang, are you clear about the leaflet?Li Yiguang said, report to the mayor, I generally know a little bit.Next, Li Yiguang reported the water competition between the enterprise and the countryside, which was similar to what the township secretary said.In the end, Li Yiguang said that the Huanglong Township government and the villagers of the five villages came to the county to report this matter not once or twice. Zhang Xiao felt strange. Since the villagers and the township government had complained to the county many times, why didn't they solve it? Did the county have to come forward to solve it only after it caused a mass incident?Li Yiguang saw Zhang Xiao's doubts, and explained that this matter involved several large enterprises, and these large enterprises are the financial pillars of our county. The Secretary of Shicheng and the head of Guangyao County suggested that it is better not to move. . Can't figure out a way to find water?Zhang Xiao asked. These enterprises are large water users, and there are no nearby water sources that can meet their needs. So how do the villagers of these five villages deal with compensation? Basically no compensation.Li Yiguang was outspoken. Why? This matter is very complicated, and it is rare to explain it clearly in one or two sentences.Li Yiguang said, if I have time, I will report to you in detail. Chen Mo laughed quietly, thinking that this Li Yiguang was really powerful, and he had already laid the groundwork for his next plan without making a fuss. If Mayor Zhang Xiao wanted to learn more about this matter, he would naturally give him a chance.Sure enough, Zhang Xiao smiled and said, okay, Comrade Yiguang, let's talk. At this time, Long Guoyong ran in and said, the meal is ready, please invite the leaders to eat in the cafeteria.Li Yiguang stood up and said, Mayor, look, shall we eat first? Zhang Xiao asked, have the people blocking the road been cleared? Li Yiguang looked at Long Guoyong, Long Guoyong quickly took out his mobile phone, called the township cadre who stayed at the scene, and replied that the people blocking the road had dispersed, but there were too many traffic jams and the traffic police were evacuating car.After listening to Zhang Xiao, he felt relieved, so let's eat, as Chairman Mao said, people are like iron and rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. A group of people walked into the canteen of the township government, and sure enough, the food was ready and a large table was neatly set up.Chen Mo saw that the dishes were fried with all the flavors and flavors, obviously not made by the canteen chef.When they were talking in the office, I'm afraid that the people from the township government had already gone all over the restaurants in the township, and brought the best dishes.Li Yiguang twitched his nose exaggeratedly, and said, "It's so fragrant, Mayor Long, the chefs in your canteen are better than those in the county government canteen."Long Guoyong smiled modestly and gave the leader to the upper seat.After everyone was seated, Long Guoyong asked Li Yiguang for instructions, and said, Director Li, can you serve wine?Li Yiguang glanced at Chen Mo inquiringly. Chen Mo knew that Zhang Xiao could drink a little at ordinary times, but today was morning wine, so he was not sure.Zhang Xiao said, there is no need to drink, what kind of wine to drink in the morning. Li Yiguang said, let's go up a little bit, right? Zhang Xiao had already picked up the chopsticks, tapped Li Yiguang with the chopsticks, and said, is it your own alcohol addiction?If you are addicted to alcohol, eat it yourself.Li Yiguang quickly said that the mayor is aware of it, but the leaders don't drink it, and Yiguang dare not drink it.Zhang Xiao laughed and said, you Li Yiguang, well, let's go up a little bit and control the total amount. Chen Mo listened to Li Yiguang and Zhang Xiao's conversation with great interest, and secretly admired Li Yiguang. He thought that when Li Yiguang and Zhang Xiao met for the first time, they had broken through the atmosphere of politeness and isolation, and became respectful but not obsequious, close but not obscene up.This ability to quickly get close to the leader is really beyond his reach. Li Yiguang personally served Zhang Xiao a bowl of rice and said, mayor, you should eat a bowl of rice first, drinking on an empty stomach hurts your stomach.Zhang Xiao took the meal and saw that Long Guoyong was pouring wine for him, so he said, Comrade Guoyong, please sit down, you comrades at the grassroots level have worked hard, I would like to toast you with a glass of wine.Long Guo hurriedly poured himself a bowl of wine with both hands, and said, I respect the leader, I respect the leader, it is our honor for the leader to come to our township to inspect and guide the work.As he said that, he touched Zhang Xiao, raised his neck, and then Gulu Gulu did it.It was too late for Zhang Xiao to stop it. Comrade, why are you drinking so hard?Zhang Xiao said slightly reproachfully.Long Guoyong was still holding the bowl, and the bottom of the bowl was shining with glory. Li Yiguang said that the mayor should not blame the Mayor Long, the grassroots cadres are so simple, they think that they do not respect the leaders if they don't drink up or drink too little, but leaders can do whatever they want, they don't have to toast.In our county, there is a joke about a female township head toasting the leader. It is a bit rough, but it just reflects this simplicity. Zhang Xiao looked at Li Yiguang and said, oh? Li Yiguang said, let's ask Long Township Chief to tell me, he must know about it. Long Guoyong was already drunk, blushing, and said, this joke is true. Once, a leader from the province came to inspect the village. The head of the village was a beautiful woman who drank alcohol. At that time, after the female township head toasted the leader, the leader in turn took the initiative to toast the female township head many times. After toasting several times, the female township head was a little drunk and dared not stop drinking. Feeling helpless, he met the leader. He drank a cup and said, the leader is above me and I am below. I want to do a few things, and I will go all out today. Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help laughing out loud.Chen Mo and He Biye couldn't help laughing, but at the same time they were thinking, this Long Guoyong is really a bit silly, and he told the mayor this kind of joke when they first met. After laughing, Zhang Xiao said to Li Yiguang, this passage is not bad, both refined and popular, without revealing it.Chen Mo, do you think that you were originally engaged in literary creation, and literary creation requires imagination, so you can't imagine such a good joke. Chen Mo had never seen Zhang Xiao make such a joke before, and knew that he was really happy. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Xiao turned his head to talk to Li Yiguang.Zhang Xiao said, "Comrade Yiguang, I have a point of view. I don't know whether it is true or not. In this society, it is better to be simple than smart. Simplicity is a good thing. Now simplicity has become a rare quality." Li Yiguang nodded repeatedly and said, it is better to be simple than smart, the mayor's induction is really incisive. Chen Mo didn't interrupt, and ate in silence, while paying attention to the conversation between Li Yiguang and Zhang Xiao.Seeing Li Yiguang and Zhang Xiaoyan laughing at Yanyan, he suddenly felt sour for some reason.
