Chapter 15 14. End or Beginning

Not long after Meng Weizhou became the secretary of the prefectural party committee, the Xizhou area was changed to Xizhou City.It only took Meng Weizhou more than four years to go from county party secretary to city party secretary.I don't know when, someone called Mengwei Zhou Mengzi behind his back.It is said that there are four princes in the whole province, all of whom are the youngest prefectural party secretary.Mr. Meng is the youngest, less than forty years old.People only call them sons in private, because the word sons has so many meanings. Xizhou called the market, and the common people were excited.Although the workers still have nothing to do, even though the peasants are still driven all over the street by the urban management team.Ordinary people go out to work, and when they say that they are from Xizhou City, they feel much better about themselves.The happiest are probably the peasants, who wake up early in the morning and suddenly change from country bumpkins to city dwellers.

The common people were happy for themselves, but they didn't expect that the people in the officialdom were busier than ever because the area was changed to a city.Meng Weizhou often emphasizes that Xizhou should seize the great opportunity of land reform to speed up its development. Officials, big and small, understood Meng Weizhou's instructions.The usual greeting for people in official circles is: "Busy?" Xizhou has recently changed the rules, and many people meet each other and say: "Seize the opportunity!" When the friend met, the expression became even more mysterious: "This time you have to seize the opportunity!" Some people ridiculed others: "You seize the opportunity!" Seize the opportunity!"

The original area has been changed to a city, and the leading groups at all levels will be adjusted. After dinner, many people looked at their watches impatiently, waiting for it to get dark.It is summer, and it gets dark late.After finally getting dark, they ran into the municipal party committee office.They climbed up Taoling, keeping their heads down as much as possible.There is not a single peach tree in Taoling, and the orange trees have grown luxuriantly.People are still used to calling it Taoling.This is probably the only memorial left for Tao Fan, the former secretary of the prefectural committee.The street lamps in Taoling are very dim, and the orange groves are pitch black.But those who go to Taoling still feel that the road is too bright.They wished they could become Tu Xingsun, sneaked into the ground and ran around, and suddenly appeared in the living room of Meng Weizhou's house.

These hurried people on Taoling were the leaders of the Listing Committee who went to seize the opportunity. There are people who like to worry about things everywhere, and they only care about things that others don't want others to know.Someone discovered that ever since the news of the district reform became clearer, more and more people went to Mengwei Zhou's house.Meng Weizhou's temper became more and more serious, and once he lost his temper at a meeting: "Some people run to the leaders of the municipal party committee every day. What's there to run away from? Which Communist Party officials can run down?"

However, Taoling has never been deserted.Someone exaggerated, saying that at night, there are as many people running to Taoling as ants moving house! Meng Weizhou is next to Buddha Zhou.He has just been the secretary of the local party committee, and some people worry that he will not be able to hold the stage.He was too young after all.But I didn't expect that he would be very convincing when he took the top spot.Some veteran cadres couldn't understand why Meng Weizhou was so young, how could he have such a high prestige?They forget that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were only in their early thirties when they became local and municipal leaders.

The young cadres admired Meng Weizhou very much. They were not clear about the rejuvenation of cadres in the 1950s, but they knew that the heads of state of many Western countries were not very old, so they said: "If Secretary Meng was born in the United States, it is impossible to be president at this age! "Most of these people can't meet Meng Weizhou. They regret that they can't say these things in front of Secretary Meng. There is a very sophisticated saying in Xizhou: bully the old but not the young.It means that you can offend anyone, but don't offend young people.Young people who can tell?If not, it will be developed tomorrow.Meng Wei became the secretary of the county party committee at the age of twelve on Wednesday, and he became the secretary general of the prefectural party committee in less than three years, the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee a year later, and the secretary of the prefectural party committee in another year.

Someone said: "It is said that everyone climbs fast, but Secretary Meng is not crawling, but flying!" Everyone in Xizhou expected Meng Weizhou to fly even higher.Xizhou has long been called an airport by provincial cadres.It is said that this is where the provincial leaders take off.Zhang Zhaolin, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Song Qiushan, Deputy Governor, and Zhou Yifo, Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, were all former Xizhou Prefectural Party Secretary.Of the last four prefectural party secretaries, only Tao Fan stepped down on the spot.Non-locals were unconvinced, and said that it is no wonder that the people of the whole province cannot get rich, and that the leaders of the province are all from impoverished areas.Some cadres secretly called the Provincial Party Committee the Xizhou Provincial Party Committee.

Meng Weizhou seems to be more bullish. Just because of his age, others can't compete, let alone Zhang Zhaolin.In the early years, if there was someone above him, others would not say anything about him in person, and they would say in private that this person just hugged a thick leg.It has changed now, whoever has someone above him makes people look up to him a lot.No one is doing ideological and political work, and everyone has figured it out: there are people in the court who are good at being officials, and they are the quintessence of the country. Meng Weizhou and the others weigh around 150 jin, but in the eyes of the leaders of the provincial party committee, they seem to be miniatures.The province says that it studies cadres, and it is customary to call it a set plate.It is said that Xizhou's plate has not yet been officially set.All the burly men wanted to be the phoenix carved from carrots on the plate of the leaders of the provincial party committee, or a piece of ham sausage.

The dishes of Xizhou City are set by the province, and the dishes of various counties, cities and departments of Xizhou are set by several people in Meng Weizhou.For several months, many people have been running up and down Xizhou.Run to Xizhou, to the province, to Beijing.Only the municipal party secretary Meng Weizhou and the acting mayor Wan Mingshan didn't run away, they were already on the plate. One night, Wang Hongliang, director of the city's finance bureau, went to Meng Weizhou's house.Seeing him knocking on the door and coming in, Meng Weizhou got angry: "Hong Liang, why are you running? I told you a long time ago, you don't move."

Wang Hongliang smiled: "Secretary Meng, I want to report an idea, please agree." Meng Weizhou said: "How do you say that? I don't know what you mean, so I need my consent first. Unless you want to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, I will step aside. Otherwise, I dare not generalize and agree." Wang Hongliang still smiled: "Secretary Meng made fun of me. How can I dare to covet this position? I want to resign." Meng Weizhou was taken aback and asked, "Hong Liang, what do you mean?" Wang Hongliang said: "Secretary Meng, please listen to my report clearly. I have a classmate who is the boss of Guorui Securities. He has encouraged me for many years and asked me to help him. It is only because Secretary Meng cares about me so much that I dare not Agree. This time he is looking for me again, so I am embarrassed."

Meng Weizhou asked, "How is he going to arrange you?" "Give him the vice president." Wang Hongliang said. Meng Weizhou smiled and said, "Hong Liang, you would rather be a cocktail than a crested head!" Wang Hongliang blushed and said, "Secretary Meng, to tell you the truth, I was tempted by the high salary he offered." "How much?" Meng Weizhou asked. "Annual salary is 500,000 yuan." Wang Hongliang said. Meng Weizhou said calmly, "It's not high either." As if embarrassed, Wang Hongliang said, "I want to change my life and try my own potential." Meng Weizhou said: "Originally, I shouldn't have persuaded you to stay. It is a good thing that cadres want to venture out, and they need organizational support. But, after all, you are a leading cadre of a certain level trained by the party for many years. If you don't think about it, the municipal party committee appointed Is it a child's play to be a finance minister?" Wang Hongliang said: "I know that Secretary Meng thinks highly of me, so I have never dared to say this. However, I have thought about it for a long time, and my choice is prudent." Meng Weizhou said: "Since you have made up your mind to go, I will let you go. But, Hong Liang, don't rush to resign. Go and work for half a year before you talk about it. The plate is gone, you should finally consider keeping it." Wang Hongliang clasped his fists together and was about to kneel down: "Secretary Meng, I thank you very much! You care about me so much, I will definitely cherish this opportunity. But, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you. How do you do this?" Meng Weizhou said: "People are alive, so are you afraid that you won't be able to come up with a solution? I will study it with the leaders of the municipal party committee and send you to a foreign company to study for half a year. We need a lot of cadres who really understand economic work!" After the two finished talking about it, they chatted casually.It doesn't feel like superior and inferior, but like brothers. Meng Weizhou smiled and said: "You have made a fortune, don't forget your old friend!" Wang Hongliang said: "Just like what my classmate said, everyone gets rich. How could I forget Secretary Meng?" Meng Weizhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hong Liang, you misunderstood me. Do you think I'm asking you for a bribe? I just want you not to forget your old friend." Wang Hongliang deliberately looked embarrassed, saying: "Secretary Meng said that, I really feel ashamed. Hong Liang didn't mean that." Guan Yinda's life became more and more leisurely.He sat down on the position of the director of the education committee and never moved for six years. Guan Yinda's temperament has long been tepid.He never lost his temper, but he kept his word.In business organizations like the Education Commission, the leaders come and go, but the cadres always stay there.Over the decades, interpersonal relationships are inevitably complicated.When Guan Yinda first arrived, someone suggested that he rectify the work style of the organization and focus on solving the problem of internal disunity. Guan Yinda just smiled.He never believed in the myth of so-called criticism and self-criticism.This good style, which is regarded as a standard by everyone, is too naive.Whether it is criticism or self-criticism, there will be no other gains except to intensify or open conflicts.Everyone may speak beautifully on the scene, but they will do what they want in private.His opinion is that most of the time, it is better to avoid conflicts than to open them. Guan Yinda's strategy is to only talk about work and nothing else.For the first time, he presided over a meeting of government officials, and after speaking for only 30 minutes, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.The cadres find it strange that this does not seem like a meeting.But the cadres soon discovered that Guan Yinda turned out to be an extremely capable leader.He doesn't pay attention to the beginning and end of his speech, and always has a few rigid words.As soon as he finished speaking, each department knew what to do, and it was up to them to implement it separately.Guan Yinda used to be very good at speaking official Chinese, but now he is a bit back to basics, and is very annoyed by those big words. It didn't take long for the cadres of the Education Committee to discover that the interpersonal relationship in the institution seemed to be much more harmonious. Someone finally felt Guan Yinda's brilliance, flatteringly said: "Director Guan solved the decades-old and difficult problems of the Education Commission without any effort." Guan Yinda just smiled when he heard that.He knew the problem wasn't fixed, he just kept it from being exposed.Guan Yinda thought, there is a truth that is obvious, but no one pays attention to it.Officials, no matter how complicated they are, they dare not mess around in their work.So as long as the work discipline is strictly enforced, whoever should do what should be done, that's all.An institution is also like a person, you don't let his bad things have a chance to show, and see how bad he is. There are more than a hundred cadres in the Education Commission, all with open mouths.There are always a few mouths that like to talk, and Guan Yinda's ability is spread far and wide.Moreover, his calligraphy and literary talents have long been famous.In the early years, when he became the county magistrate, he was forced to do so by the deputies of the National People's Congress.And now he treats the officialdom very indifferently.Various opportunities or factors have enriched Guan Yinda's image among the people.When people talk about Guan Yinda, they all respect him. Guan Yinda didn't think he was busy, but his wife Tao Tao kept saying, "You are in your forties, and your body is the most important thing." She asked Guan Yinda to eat Cordyceps sinensis one day, and Korean ginseng the next day.As long as she hears about some prescriptions to nourish her body, she will try her best to get them.The superior bank wanted to appoint Tao Tao as the president of the downtown branch several times, but she declined.She said that she has no big ambitions in this life, and it is enough to take good care of her husband and children.People who know her say that only Tao Fan's daughter can be so casual.My son is already in the second grade of junior high school, and he is about to enter high school soon. Recently, Tao Tao heard that Liuwei Dihuang Wan should be taken by men for many years, just like women should take Gynecological Qianjin Tablets for many years.On Sunday, after sending her husband and son to breakfast, she was leaving the house.Tell Guan Yinda: "You take care of your son's homework, and I'll buy you medicine. When I come back, I'll go see my parents." The family goes to Taoling once a week to have a meal with the old man.Every time I go on Sunday, all schools have to make up lessons on Saturday.Guan Yinda himself is the director of the Education Committee, and he emphasizes throughout the year that students are not allowed to increase their schoolwork burden, but his son continues to make up lessons as usual.During holidays, it is strictly forbidden to make up lessons.But the school has its own way.They broke it up into parts, made up more than 20 students each time, and asked parents to take turns to be on duty and stay in the classroom.As long as someone from above comes to check, the parents will come forward to pester them, saying that making up lessons has nothing to do with the school, and they are strongly requested by the parents.He really had no choice but to open his eyes and close his eyes. There was a pharmacy at the door, and Tao Tao came back not long after.She entered the room and said, "This medicine is not expensive and has no side effects. It is a health-preserving medicine. I bought fifty boxes." "So much, eat it?" Guan Yinda was like a very obedient child, he didn't even bother to read the instruction manual, he just asked, "How many pills to take?" Tao Tao snatched the medicine bottle and said, "Why do you pay, like Three-year-old kid." She complained about her husband, her heart was sweet and content.She deliberately mischievous, and read aloud: "The composition of the medicine, Rehmannia glutinosa, Cornus officinalis, Moutan bark, Chinese yam, Poria cocos, Alisma alisma. Functions and indications, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney. Used for dizziness and tinnitus, weak waist and knees, nocturnal emission and night sweat..." Guan Yinda hurriedly suppressed his voice and called out: "Tao Tao!" Tao Tao stuck out her tongue and laughed.Guan Yinda was afraid that the child would not listen well as he was doing his homework inside. "My son doesn't understand." Tao Tao continued to be mischievous, "Oral, eight pills at a time, three times a day. Specifications, each eight pills is equivalent to three grams of raw medicinal materials. Approval number..." Guan Yinda snatched the medicine bottle and said, "Please, don't read the document number. I read documents all day long, and when I hear the document number, I get a conditioned reflex and get a headache." Tao Tao poured warm water, handed it to Guan Yinda, and said, "You still have to practice. When you have Dad's mentality, you will be at ease." Guan Yinda swallowed Liuwei Dihuang Pills and said, "I wish my father could have a good attitude. But I always suspect that his indifference is for others to see. If he doesn't take everything lightly, what can he do?" Tao Tao sighed: "What's the point of being an official for a lifetime!" Guan Yinda smiled and said: "It's not interesting. So people have to think about understanding. I have seen some secretaries and drivers of old leaders in the province, and it is really chilling to think about it. Those old secretaries and old governors, who were not the people who called the wind and rain in those days ?Many people sharpen their heads and want to get into them, even if they are willing to wipe their assholes. Their secretaries and drivers are all very popular. Now that they have retired, no one dislikes them. They are still worthy Secretaries and drivers. These secretaries and drivers hate themselves for being unlucky. When these old guys are useless, it is their turn to take this job. They call people so and so old in person, and call them old things behind their backs. As long as any old guy When the leader is ill, his secretary and driver are secretly happy, hoping that they will be liberated if they die. Vice Governor Chen is almost 80 years old, and his body is still in good health. His secretary shakes his head at others all day long. , What’s the matter, someday it will be a head!” Tao Tao was very angry when he heard this, and said: "These old people don't live up to themselves, and their children don't live up to it. If my father is a provincial cadre, as long as he retires, I don't want him to be appointed as a driver or secretary. My children are watching every day. Old man, how nice. They are all wolf-hearted guys!" Guan Yinda smiled and said: "You are really angry. People will be like that before they get there. The old leaders still compare with secretaries, drivers, houses, and cars. When they are sick, they have children to watch over them. They will not be satisfied in the hospital, they would rather let the secretary guard it. This is called enjoying treatment." Tao Tao shook his head and said, "The officialdom is really harmful, it makes people crazy." Guan Yinda smiled and stopped talking about it.He thinks that officialdom is like this, and no one can do anything about it.It is very interesting that Guan Yinda thought about the change of Meng Weizhou's address to him.When Meng Weizhou first started working, he met Guan Yinda and called him Brother Guan; a few years later, when Meng Weizhou became the deputy secretary and secretary of the county party committee, he was called Brother Guan. Adding the word "old" between "guan" and "brother" does not change the meaning, but the meaning is different. Brother Guan is the kind of young man who has just entered the official career, he looks gentle, reserved, and respectful.Meng Weizhou started to call Brother Guan, and as he became more mature, being with Guan Yinda was a gift of the same generation.After Meng Weizhou became the leader of the prefectural committee, the first time he met Guan Yinda, he called him Laoguan. After finishing all the homework, he rubbed his eyes and left the room.Tao Tao said, "Let's go see grandpa and grandma." Tongtong nodded and didn't say much.Tao Tao said, "What's the matter with you, son? You are deeper than your grandfather." The son still didn't speak, with a blank expression, waiting for his parents to call him out. Guan Yinda just wanted his son to be let down by the endless homework and exams.He touched the top of his son's head and said, "Let's walk." It takes two bus stops from the Education Commission to the Municipal Party Committee.Guan Yinda is considerate of the driver and generally does not use the car on Sundays.But I don't want to take the bus, I just walk there every time, just for a walk. I ran into Wang Hongliang on the road.After shaking hands, Guan Yinda said, "I heard you're going to go into the sea?" Wang Hongliang said: "Director Guan is so well-informed? Instead of going to sea, the government appointed me to take a temporary position in the company." Guan Yinda just smiled and said, "What kind of character is your brother Hong Liang? Your every move attracts everyone's attention. Well, you young people can still do a good job." Wang Hongliang said: "How old is Director Guan older than me? Just pretend to be the boss. I just want to take this opportunity and go to the company. You, Director Guan, should seize the opportunity." Guan Yinda shook his head and said, "What opportunities do I have to seize? I'm old." The two joked a few words, shook hands and said goodbye. Tao Tao said: "Wang Hongliang is a character." Guan Yinda replied, "It's a character." While walking on the street, Guan Yinda's cell phone kept ringing.He kept answering the phone, some were work calls, some were greetings from friends. Tao Tao said, "You might as well turn off the phone." Guan Yinda said: "The municipal party committee has recently issued a new instruction. During working hours, the main person in charge of the department must turn on his mobile phone when he leaves the office. At night and on weekends, he must turn on his mobile phone when he is not at home." Tao Tao said: "It's really pitiful for you to be an official. You have lost your personal freedom." Guan Yinda said: "It's all because last Sunday, a group of farmers went to the municipal government to appeal. They blocked the gates and smashed the cars. The leaders of the municipal party committee wanted to find the heads of the following departments, but they couldn't find them. Meng Wei lost his temper on Monday. , just issued such a notice." Tao Tao suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It would have been nice if I had a mobile phone back then. Dad is looking for you, so I don't need to run errands." Guan Yinda laughed and said, "Just help me, I didn't have a mobile phone back then, otherwise how would I have the chance to date you? God knows whose wife you are now." Tao Tao tugged at his son, teasing him: "Then there will be no more." Tongtong kept looking around, didn't listen to what his parents were saying at all, and asked in a daze, "What are you talking about?" Tao Tao made a face at Guan Yinda, and said to his son, "Mom was talking about the flood that year..." Tongtong snatched it up and said, "A wooden basin floated in the water, and there was a child lying in the wooden basin. The child is Tongtong. I've said it a hundred times, and it's boring." Guan Yinda laughed loudly and said, "Nowadays, children are all head-slamming." Guan Yinda recalled the story about Meng Weizhou that was circulated in the market, and said: "Some people say that Meng Weizhou was Zhang Zhaolin's secretary when the mobile phone first appeared. At that time, mobile phones were expensive, and only the leaders of the prefectural committee were eligible to use them. Meng Weizhou once had a party with his classmates, drank a few more drinks, and confided that his lofty goals were three ones, a car, a secretary, and a mobile phone." Tao Tao smiled and said, "You don't know, someone else perfected his three ones and became a five ones project." Guan Yinda said, "I've never heard of it." "He added two ones, a lover, and a fortune." Tao Tao said softly, afraid that his son would hear. Entering the compound of the prefectural committee, I ran into acquaintances.Some people greeted him, but were uncomfortable.Guan Yinda knew that, just as Wang Hongliang said, they ran to the compound to seize the opportunity.What can I do if I go to the municipal party committee on the rest day? After going up Taoling, winding along the path, we arrived at the quiet courtyard.The door is closed, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.Every time Guan Yinda went to his father-in-law's house, he felt that it was too deserted. Tao Tao said: "Tongtong, call grandpa and grandma." Tongtong called out: "Grandpa, grandma!" The door opened, and grandma was all smiles. "Where's Dad?" Tao Tao asked. Mom said, "Daddy is asleep." Tao Tao then told Tongtong to keep his voice down and not to disturb grandpa.There are shade trees in the courtyard, and there are small benches under them.The young and old sat outside and talked. Tao Tao's mother said: "His grandfather always tends to fall asleep recently. He gets sleepy when he can't read half a page of a newspaper. He can't sleep well at night. He is old." The old man sighed as he spoke. Tao Tao hurriedly said: "It's okay, Dad is in good health. Sleep when you want to sleep, exercise when you want to exercise, don't force him." My mother shook her head: "Your father has a stubborn temper and doesn't listen to me. I want him to go down the mountain every day to play with the old man. He just refuses to go. At most, he can practice Tai Chi in the morning and write a few words. The rest Time, watch newspapers and TV." Tao Tao comforted her mother: "Mom, don't worry. Dad is so quiet, just let him." My mother smiled and said: "One day I saw him having breakfast. I just hugged the book and read it. I was angry with him, so I teased him. I said Lao Tao, I have good news for you. Your father listened carefully and asked what good news I said, if you study hard, there will be surprises. Your father asked again, what surprises? I said, I heard that the emperor is going to recruit a son-in-law." Tao Tao laughed and burst into tears, and asked his father what his reaction was.While joking, Tao Fan came out.Tao Tao looked at his father, still laughing non-stop. Tao Fan patted Tongtong on the head and asked, "Tell grandpa, what are they laughing at?" Tong Tong mischievously said: "Grandma said, Grandpa has recruited a son-in-law." Tao Fan just smiled, very kindly. Guan Yinda got up early, moved a stool, asked Tao Fan to sit down, and asked, "How is Dad?" "Good." Tao Fan said. Tao Tao and his mother talked about homework, while Tao Fan and Guan Yinda just listened.Tongtong sat for a while, feeling very bored, so he went in to watch TV, saying that there would be cartoons at the moment.Tao Tao said: "What's wrong with everything, I'm almost in high school, and I still like watching cartoons so much." Guan Yinda said: "The child is working too hard, let him relax." Tao Fan remained silent, looking at the floating clouds in the sky.His expression was indifferent, and his eyes were a little empty.Perhaps only Guan Yinda knows that Tao Fan is actually very lonely in his heart.Guan Yinda never pointed out this layer, he never told Tao Tao, lest she be sad.Most retired veteran cadres spend their leisure time in the veteran cadre activity center.There you can play croquet, play mahjong, drink tea and chat.But Tao Fan had never been there.When he was the secretary of the local party committee, veteran cadres repeatedly suggested that the old cadre activity center should be built.Tao Fan disagreed, saying that the finances were too difficult, so we should wait for a few years.After he retired, Zhang Zhaolin built the Laogan Activity Center.The more the veteran cadres are enjoying themselves now, the more they denounce Tao Fan for being unenlightened.They said that if the activity center had been built earlier, we old guys would have lived a few more years. Tao Fan had a very good political reputation back then, but people's evaluation of him gradually changed later.What Guan Yinda can hear is very helpless, so there must be many more terrible things that he can't hear.People call the ten years when Tao Fan was in power the Tao Fan Era.Some cadres were very angry, saying that during Tao Fan's time, there were no people in Xizhou.When they talk about people, they specifically refer to big figures, such as Zhang Zhaolin, Song Qiushan, Zhou Yifo and other big cadres.It is said that Tao Fan can't go up by himself, and he won't let others go up.Said that if Tao Fan was to be promoted to a cadre, it would be like cutting his flesh.This one is immature, that one is too immature, Tao Fan alone can do it.Unlike Zhang Zhaolin and the others, they are willing to use cadres, show loyalty, and are enough friends.It seems that he, Tao Fan, is the only one who is honest and honest, and no one else can be trusted.what's the result?Now Zhang Zhaolin, Song Qiushan, and Zhou Yifo are sitting on the rostrum and confessing, while Tao Fan is squatting at home and dozing off! It was almost dusk, and Tao Tao helped her mother make dinner.Tao Fan got up and searched around. Guan Yinda asked, "Father, what do you want?" Tao Fan said, "I want to repair flowers and trees." "The scissors are here. Let me get them." Guan Yinda brought the scissors. Tao Fan said, "There are two pairs of scissors, let's make them together." The two got together and trimmed the Chinese mosquito mother bonsai.Tao Fan unintentionally reveals his trust, need or dependence on his son-in-law.Guan Yinda has seen this for a long time, he feels very warm, but he can't express his sadness. Tao Fan was slightly out of breath, showing a look of powerlessness. Guan Yinda couldn't remind Tao Fan too much to take care of his health, he knew that his father-in-law was unwilling to submit to old age. Tao Fan said, "Xiang Tianfu came to see me yesterday." "Oh? Xiang Tianfu is not bad." Guan Yinda responded. Xiang Tianfu is the secretary of the county party committee and the deputy county magistrate proposed by Tao Fan.Xiang Tianfu and Guan Yinda have always had a good personal relationship, so they often visit Tao Fan.Tao Fan seemed to talk about it casually, but he was actually very happy in his heart.Hardly anyone visits him now. "Does Shu Peide still have contact with you?" Tao Fan asked casually. Guan Yinda said: "It's not a relationship, it's just that he sometimes visits my house." Tao Fan said: "He is a smart man, and his business is getting bigger and bigger. But I don't like his preference to get involved in politics. He has been a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference for more than ten years, and he doesn't mind it!" Guan Yinda said: "It's easier to do business with a red hat. Without your support back then, I'm afraid he couldn't do such a big business." Tao Fan said: "I don't have any specific support either. Most likely he himself pulls the tiger skin as a banner." Guan Yinda sighed: "Some people sarcastically say that China's economics is the real political economy. Because politics and economics are too close together. You just inscribed the signboard for Shu Peide's Tuyuan company, and his business prospered." Yes. He can become the number one private entrepreneur in Xizhou and a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. It should be said that he can help you. A signboard can have such a magical effect, which can only happen in China.” Tao Fan said: "You know what happened. My intention at that time was only to promote the development of private enterprises." Guan Yinda said: "It's really one moment, another moment. If it is now, which leader writes the signboard for the company, the middle article will be big." Tao Fan's face darkened, and he stopped talking.He didn't want to tell the truth, it was boring.Tao Fan didn't care much about the lively events in Xizhou recently.Guan Yinda seemed to have never heard Tao Fan mention Meng Weizhou's name.At the time of Tao Fan's local party secretary, Meng Weizhou had just graduated from university and ran around with Zhang Zhaolin, foolishly ignorant of anything.If Tao Fan pretended to be Meng Weizhou in his heart, it would be a bit ridiculous.Guan Yinda never mentioned Meng Weizhou to Tao Fan to avoid embarrassment. "Yinda, I've been a bit of a believer in fatalism lately." Tao Fan stopped suddenly and said without thinking. Guan Yinda asked, "Why?" Tao Fan said: "Maybe I am old. I recall many things that I have experienced. It seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable. When I was a cadre, I vaguely felt that some people were not right. If I want to climb up, I will post them. I was looking at you. But I thought, I am appointing cadres for the country, not cultivating students for myself, so I let go of these thoughts. Later, it really confirmed my feeling at the time. Some people just don’t have the quality.” Guan Yinda interjected, "There are more than a hundred people, of all kinds." Tao Fan went on to say: "Now that I think about it, it seems that there is a mysterious omen in everything I do. For another example, when you participated in the calligraphy competition held by the prefectural committee, you wrote Zhang Xiaoxiang's first poem, "Niannujiao? Dongting Qingcao". I I just wondered why the young man chose this poem? This is a complaint about demoted officials! Zhang Xiaoxiang is pretending to be broad-minded, but in fact he is full of hardships. Later, you didn’t go well, and you were transferred here and there in the county for many years. It’s about the same as the relegation of officials. I just remembered this, and I thought that maybe there is something that dominates human beings in the dark?” Guan Yinda laughed and said, "Aren't I very good now? I'm doing my job well, and I'm worthy of my conscience. I don't have any other ambitions. After all, it's just to make a living." Tao Fan nodded and said, "It's better to be lighter. But life is a piece of paper, once you pierce it, it means nothing. What you eat is the state salary, so you have to do things for the common people. What is career? Now these people , only regard the official hat on the head as a career." Guan Yinda did not expect Tao Fan to say these words today.The old man has retired for many years, and has never heard anything outside the window.Maybe the older you get, the more lonely you feel in your heart, and many things from the past come to you. Mom called for dinner.Weng and his son-in-law washed their hands and went back to the house.Tao Fan drank a glass of rice wine with every meal, and Guan Yinda also drank a glass with him.Tao Tao has said many times that she wants to hire a nanny to take care of her parents, but the old man just refuses.After Tao Fan retired, he just wanted to be clean, so he quit all the nannies. After dinner, after sitting down for a while, Tao Tao said that he was going back.Every time she wanted to talk to the old man more, but she could learn everything, so she had to leave early.After leaving the small courtyard, Guan Yinda said, "Let's take the main road." He guessed that if he took the path, he might come down the mountain to visit the pier.It's not good to meet all acquaintances. Those who are lucky enough to sit on the chair of the Finance Bureau are either the close buddies of the municipal party secretary or the mayor's favorites.Wang Hongliang is the brother of acting mayor Wan Mingshan, and everyone in Xizhou knows it well.Meng Weizhou thought, since Wang Hongliang wanted to go to the securities company, he naturally discussed it with Wan Mingshan first.He might as well be a favor.Besides, Wang Hongliang usually walks around in front of Meng Weizhou, so he is considered a smart person.It was a critical period recently, and Meng Weizhou wanted to have a tacit understanding with Wan Mingshan as much as possible. Since Wan Mingshan came back from studying at the Provincial Party School for half a year last time, he often likes to use a word: dynamic balance.Probably what he heard from a professor.In Wanmingshan's knowledge system, the so-called dynamic balance may be the highest component.His relationship with Meng Weizhou is a kind of dynamic balance.He listened to Meng Weizhou most of the time, and sometimes challenged him secretly. He has many devoted brothers under him, but he often asks his brothers to contact Meng Weizhou more often.He knows which positions he can arrange, and which positions are up to Meng Weizhou.Meng Wei, the head of Wanming Mountain, was ten years old, and he had been the secretary of the county party committee for twelve years.For a person with his qualifications, it is already very good to be able to live with Meng Weizhou's face. Some cadres in Xizhou were grateful to Zhang Zhaolin, Song Qiushan, and Zhou Yifo. They appointed cadres liberally and promoted many people.Meng Weizhou was reused by Zhang Zhaolin, but Wanming Mountain was cultivated by Song Qiushan.However, when it was in Meng Weizhou's hands, it was difficult to hold it.If he uses cadres like the three former secretaries, Xizhou cadres will have to be exported abroad.Domestic sales will definitely not work, because local cadres are wanted everywhere, and resources are limited.Employing cadres is like raising wages. It is considered a rigid expenditure, which can only be increased but not decreased, and the necessary increase must be guaranteed. In the Tao Fan era, wages rose slowly, and cadres were promoted even more slowly.Meng Weizhou felt embarrassed, afraid that he was still in office, and people would compare him with Tao Fan.He has been under more pressure recently, after all, there are too many monks and too little food. Wang Hongliang wanted to go to a securities company, which inadvertently gave Meng Weizhou a new inspiration.He wanted to simply send some cadres to enterprises to take temporary positions, which could temporarily alleviate the conflict of employment.But just sending cadres to enterprises in this city cannot make the significance of this move great.It is best to also send some cadres to large enterprises inside and outside the province.This has to rely on the coordination of the provincial party committee. Meng Weizhou thought for two days before calling Zhang Zhaolin without discussing with other leaders of the municipal party committee.Zhang Zhaolin appreciated Meng Weizhou's idea very much, saying that it is necessary to send party and government cadres to enterprises for temporary training. This is a new idea for the construction of cadres in the new era, and the provincial party committee expressed support. "You need to send cadres to those enterprises in the province or outside the province, and I will be responsible for doing the work." Zhang Zhaolin is very supportive of his favorite students. After talking on the phone, before Meng Weizhou had time to discuss with Wan Mingshan, Zhang Zhaolin called again, saying that he had studied it with the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and decided to send cadres from Xizhou to enterprises to take part-time training as a provincial pilot.Meng Weizhou was even more excited when he heard this, and understood that it was Zhang Zhaolin's intention to cultivate him. Meng Weizhou got the Shangfang Sword, so he went to Wanmingshan to discuss it, but he didn't say that he had reported it to Zhang Zhaolin, and he didn't say that the province was planning to take Xizhou as a pilot.He plans to talk about it in a few days. Wan Mingshan was very shrewd at first, he immediately understood Meng Weizhou's intentions, secretly admired him: this man is young, and his skills are mature, he will become a master.But he didn't point it out, just said solemnly: "Secretary Meng's proposal is very good, and I agree. Among the party and government cadres, there are not many comrades who really understand economic work, and they are not suitable for the new situation of developing a market economy. I suggest that the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee Draw up a plan. The comrades to be sent must be set according to the criteria. The Organization Department will make a preliminary list and ask Secretary Meng to look it over before handing it over to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for study. If necessary, I can also have a look first. My opinion is this Things need to be done quickly.” After hearing this, Meng Weizhou knew that Wan Mingshan must have guessed what he meant.He thought that Wan Mingshan proposed to look at the list first, and obviously wanted to use this move to make a fuss.那么这篇文章就两个人共同做吧。 孟维周自然也不说穿，微笑着点头：“好吧，我同组织部打招呼。派出去的人员，我俩先把个关。王洪亮同志想去证券公司挂职，我看可以考虑。” 万明山说：“我同意孟书记意见。这事王洪亮同志向我也汇报过。” 这回组织部的工作效率很高，不出一个星期，《中共西州市委关于选拔优秀中青年干部下企业挂职锻炼的决定（草稿）》就出来了。组织部长亲自把草稿送到孟维周桌上。 孟维周提笔就把标题中的“下”字改作“到”字，并批示道： 一个“下”字，说明我们干部的思想观念还没有彻底转变。我们再也不能高高在上，以为到企业去就是“下去”了。相反，企业站在市场经济最前沿，那里有很多值得我们认真学习的东西。派干部到企业去挂职，就是去锻炼，去当学生。这既是我们培养干部的重要举措，也是加强干部作风建设的重要途径。 孟维周倒不太在意正文，只粗粗瞄了眼，就翻过去了。他是从来不给材料班子当语文老师的，审阅文件只提原则性意见。自己当年也写过材料，知道领导逐字逐句修改文章是很可笑的事。他关心的是后面附上的选拔名单。名单中的人，有的他认识，有的就仅仅是个符号。他认识的人，个别感觉特别好的，就在名单后边批道：建议换个人。 孟维周最后批示：请送明山同志阅后，交市委常委会议研究。 回头看看那几句关于“下”字的批示，孟维周竟暗自得意。可惜这份得意是没法同人分享的，正是妙处难与君说啊！ 孟维周突然想起了关隐达。多年前，关隐达参加地委机关书法比赛，书写的是张孝祥的一首词，中间有句“妙处难与君说”。那回关隐达可是出尽风头啊。孟维周当时只恨自己字太糟糕了，同是地委领导秘书，好没面子的。他却记死了词中的一句：妙处难与君说。 孟维周现在想来，凭关隐达的文才、干才和为人，本可大展宏图的，却就那么落寞下去了。正像拿破仑说的，战局瞬息万变。政界局势也是如此。张兆林本是陶凡重用起来的，后来两人的关系慢慢竟复杂起来了。谁都知道陶张二人很微妙，但谁都说不出个所以然。关隐达只因是陶凡的女婿，在西州就再也起不来了。孟维周其实很敬佩关隐达，无奈各奔其主，他也不好怎么关照。 孟维周当上地委书记后，头个晚上就去拜访了陶凡。陶凡言语上倒是热情，直道小孟不错，年轻人前程不可限量。孟维周做尽了谦虚状，请老书记多提意见，多支持工作。陶凡只是打哈哈，说自己退下来多年了，观念落后，见识过时，适应不了新形势了。孟维周客气着出门，陶凡在后面热情打拱。夜风吹过，孟维周不禁打了个寒战。他意识到陶凡看上去热情，其实很冷淡。 派到企业去的干部很快就到位了。这时，西州市委收到省委组织部文件，正式决定在西州试点，派党政机关干部下企业挂职锻炼。 孟维周提笔在文件上签道： 已阅。此项工作省委非常重视，建议市委再认真研究一次，就干部下企业挂职锻炼的目的、主要任务、考核办法等等，制定一个详细方案。送市委常委阅。 签完意见，孟维周便打电话给万明山，把省委组织部的意见说了个大概。万明山听着浑身发热，很不舒服。他嘴上却不停地嗯嗯着，还故意加上点笑声，显出很高兴的样子。心想这位孟公子太精了，事情都弄到省里去了，居然同他半字不吐。万明山有话说不出，还得装着没事似的。 晚上，向天富突然跑到关隐达家来了。两人在客厅里扯上几句，向天富喊应了陶陶说：“小陶，我同隐达去书房说说话，你没意见吧。” 陶陶笑道：“我还怕你们搞同性恋？你们只怕还没那么前卫。” 向天富道：“还前卫。我同隐达，都成了西州最落伍的干部了。” 进了书房，向天富脸就青了，说：“隐达，他妈的万明山开始整我了。你知道，他同我有夙怨。我有话没人说，找你扯扯。” 关隐达问：“他如何整你？” 向天富说：“准备让我去党校学习。” “多长时间？” "Half a year." 关隐达就摸着万明山的用意了。西州各县市和部门头头中间，就关隐达和向天富资格最老，年纪却很轻。两人都属于陶凡时代的人物。如果说有人想在西州市班子问题上弄些手脚，只有他们俩能量最大。关隐达却是淡泊出了名的，没人会再防范他。但向天富还很牛气，他们县里工作居然干得很不错。不论市里哪项工作评先进，总有他们县的份儿。据说万明山不想让向天富太出风头，有几次都授意有关部门不要评他们县里先进。向天富却跑到市里拍桌子，把市里的评比标准逐条背了出来。 关隐达不好多说，只问：“你找过孟维周吗？” 向天富说：“找孟公子有屁用！我同他又不是兄弟！他同万明山现在是又打又拉，互相利用。用万明山的话说，就是动态平衡。” 关隐达笑道：“万明山的动态平衡算是出名了。” 向天富愤然道：“凭万明山肚子里那几滴墨水，去党校学习半年，能记住个动态平衡，就算不错了。有人说党校学习，不过就是学习学习，休息休息，密西密西，联系联系。党校真是个好发明，既可以用来培养干部，又可以用来拉帮结派，还可以用来整人。” 关隐达说：“我最近听人说了个段子，很有意思。各级党校的校训都是实事求是，而且都把这几个字立在进门处。我们省委党校不正是这样？一块大石头，就像个影壁。进门后，得绕过这个影壁。教学楼正好就在影壁后面。有人就说，领导干部们进党校是，迎着实事求是走去，绕过实事求是而行，背着实事求是学习，离开实事求是工作。” 向天富本是很不高兴的，却忍不住笑了起来，说：“这个段子很经典，把我们干部中间存在的问题讲准讲透了。” 关隐达问：“你打算怎么办？” 向天富摇头道：“我是一筹莫展。” 关隐达说：“本来，孟维周那里，我是可以去说说的。管他有用没用。但我仔细一想，又说不得。他们说不定很忌讳我俩，我如果出面说话，他们就会把我俩假想成一股势力了。这样一来，对你就更不利。再说，鸡肚子不知鸭肚子事，天知道孟维周又是什么想法呢？” 向天富点头说： “隐达你说得有道理。好吧，万明山如果硬要做绝了，我会让他有好看的。我仍是人大代表，人大会总得让我参加吧。” 关隐达劝道：“天富，你该忍就忍。” 向天富说：“我们不说这个，不说这个。你就没什么想法了？” 关隐达说：“我早就没什么想法了。正是俗话说的，命里有终须有，命里无莫强求。孟维周我是看着他参加工作的，他成天跟在我屁股后面叫关兄。当时他极不老成，说得说不得的乱说一气。谁想到他会当上市委书记呢？现在你看，他见了我，先打个哈哈，叫声老关，嘴巴就闭得天紧。” 向天富讥讽道：“市委又出台个英明决策，决定派些干部去企业挂职锻炼。时间正好也是半年。不知是谁想出的高招？” 关隐达说：“地委办那帮刁参谋想不出这么高的点子。他们人没到那份儿上，思路就上不到那么高的层次。我想，这不是孟维周的点子，就是万明山的点子。” 向天富讨厌万明山，就说：“万明山没这么聪明。” “那么十有八九是孟维周的主意。不愧是张兆林的高足啊！”关隐达叹道，“我正为难哩。我的一位副主任上了名单。我们那里都是一个钉子一个眼的，抽谁去都不合适。关键是谁都不想去。” “我如果不是县委一把手，他们只怕还会派我去企业挂职锻炼哩。”向天富冷冷地笑了声。 关隐达说：“我看了看名单，去省外的就王洪亮一人，去省内其他地市企业的两人，其他都在本市内企业。听说王洪亮是真的想下海算了，证券公司是高薪请他去。” “王洪亮什么人才？不就是万明山的把兄弟吗？”向天富很是不屑。 关隐达说：“这事已传得沸沸扬扬了，都说那家证券公司老总是王洪亮很要好的同学。现在哪里都玩圈子，无非就是同学圈子、老乡圈子、战友圈子、把兄弟圈子。政界、企业都一样。奇怪的是王洪亮既然想走了，市委却不免掉他的局长职务。” 向天富说：“这不是很明白的事？去企业毕竟有风险，他就先去干半年再说。而外界都知道王洪亮去意已决，必然要往大院里走门子。空着这半年时间钓鱼，有人会日进斗金。” 关隐达想想，说：“只怕是这个道理。王洪亮不用给谁送礼，人家就会把他位置给留着。半年之后，有戏看。” 向天富长叹一声，摇头道：“他们讲得那么冠冕堂皇，其实就是想派些干部出去，好腾出位置任用自己亲信。具体到某个单位，就会成为整人手段。领导不满意哪个人，就建议市委把他作为优秀中青年干部派到企业去。有些人弄不清白，还会沾沾自喜，以为组织上终于慧眼识人了哩。” 关隐达说：“平心而论，派干部去企业见识一下，也有必要。问题是市里正好在一个特殊时段出台这个举动，就耐人寻味了。如果动机本来就不纯粹，嘴上说得再怎么一本正经，实施起来就是儿戏了。” 向天富说：“本是儿戏，省里却当真了。地委转发了省委组织部的文件，说是省里在西州试点，派干部下企业挂职锻炼。其实省里那些人，都是从下面上去的，未必就不知道下面的套路。只是上下之间心照不宣，大家一块儿玩吧。” “官场上很多事情都是这样，大家都知道是假的，却正儿八经地做。”关隐达叹道，“还没人敢点破，谁点破了就是政治上有问题了。这就是所谓认认真真搞形式，扎扎实实走过场。我说应该建议全体干部每天读一篇《皇帝的新装》。” 向天富说：“是这么个问题。我们在下面当头儿，感触最深。上面布置下来的有些事情，我们知道毫无意义，却必须照着上面的要求做，还得把意义说得天大，弄得大家都像傻子似的。” 关隐达笑了起来，说：“今天我去市委，碰到省委组织部一个熟人，你猜他是干什么来的？居然是来总结干部下企业挂职先进经验来的。干部还没下去，总结经验的就来了。” 向天富说：“有人批评官出数字，数字出官，却没人批评官出经验，经验出官。官出经验，经验出官，危害照样很大。” 关隐达点头道：“你说到点子上了。有些人就喜欢挖空心思搞出些新套路，且不管它是否切合实际，哪怕是牵强附会，好歹要整出个经验来。回过头我们想想，有些所谓经验当初吹到天上去了，大家一窝蜂跟着学，效果怎样？很多是劳民伤财啊！可是没人算过这笔账。” 向天富说：“谁敢算这笔账？经验出官，创造经验的人一步登天了，正高高在上管着你，你敢说半个不字？现在想想当初张兆林创造的那些先进做法，不是笑话一场？” 关隐达说：“大家都看到了官出经验，经验出官的甜头，就争着创造经验。省委组织部为什么这么重视？不就是想在全国抢先创造个经验出来？只要有笔杆子下来，经验总会有的。” 向天富也只是想找个知心人说说话，没别的意思。两人闲扯着，又说到陶凡了。关隐达说：“他老人家还是在平淡如水，耳根清净。政界的事，他听都懒得听。” 向天富很感慨的样子，说：“不听好啊，不听好啊。陶书记当年，威望多高啊。现在呢，有人说起所谓陶凡时代，就是个清算的口气。隐达，有些话你是听不见的。” 关隐达并不想知道别人都说了些什么，只是淡淡地笑。向天富却说了起来：“有人说起陶老书记，尽是失误。山地开发等于乱砍滥伐，乡镇企业等于环境污染，庭院经济等于小农观念。” 关隐达忍不住说道：“他们说来说去，说得出他老人家半点儿个人问题吗？” 向天富说：“他老人家一没男女作风问题，二没经济问题，硬邦邦一条汉子。可是人家却说他假正经。他处事不讲情面，人家就说他没人情味，不义道。” 关隐达语气有些伤感了：“才多长时间，简直像换了个朝代了。” 向天富说：“听别人议论陶老书记，我就想到历史真是靠不住的。有人说，陶老书记主政西州那么多年，唯一可称道的就是把招待所改造成宾馆。可又有人说，陶老书记到底还是保守，没有一步到位，现在桃园宾馆是全省最差的地市级宾馆。说这些话的人，就是不尊重历史。当时全省各地市还没一家宾馆，陶老书记首先认识到改善接待条件的重要性，提出改造招待所。为这事儿陶老书记还挨过处分。” 关隐达笑道：“真是滑稽，他老人家主持西州工作十年，到头来人们只记得他一件事，改造招待所。这算什么事儿？” 向天富说：“隐达，老百姓还是看在眼里的。当年很多人都知道陶书记很关心舒培德，却没人敢说他们之间有什么问题。现在舒培德的图远公司更加做得大了，同他交往的就不仅仅是孟公子、万明山了，张兆林同他都称兄道弟的。人们怎么说？都说凡是同舒培德有往来的高官，没一个干净！” 关隐达笑道：“也怪，舒培德也常常到我家去坐坐，每次不是带包茶叶来，就是提几斤水果来。怎么就不见他送我大坨大坨票子？是见我没使用价值了吧。” 向天富说：“隐达，只说明一点，你这人正派。舒培德很聪明的，知道到什么山唱什么歌。他敢给别人送钱，也不敢给你送钱。你是他的老朋友，虽然现在看上去你好像用不着了，但人生如戏，谁说得清你今后会怎么样呢？” 关隐达摇头道：“我就这样了。我是床底下放风筝，再高也高不到哪里去。不过也难为了舒培德，他有这么多关系要周旋，够辛苦的。” 向天富突然小声说道：“隐达，舒培德可出不得事啊！不论他偷税漏税、非法经营或别的什么事儿，只要哪一处出纰漏，就会有人睡不着。” 关隐达笑道：“有些人正春风得意，头就昂到天上去了。其实我总想，那些人这辈子能够善终就不错了，狂什么？” 向天富见时间不早了，起身说：“我走了。隐达，关键时候，你可要站出来啊。” 关隐达不知向天富说的什么意思，便含糊着点点头。 向天富走后，陶陶问：“什么机密，两人得关着门说？” 关隐达便说了个大概。陶陶说：“向天富人倒不错，就是涵养欠着些。你同他说多了，只怕不太好。” 关隐达说：“我不是个乱说话的人。向天富其实做人做事都是有原则的，不会乱来。我俩交往多年了，我了解他。” 关隐达刚进办公室，《西州教育》编辑小李就送了最近这期杂志来。这期的卷首语是关隐达亲自写的。他本不想凑这个热闹，可小伙子言辞恳切，推脱不过，就写了几句。写好之后，又觉得用本名发表不妥，就用了个笔名：应答。小刘直说关主任文笔太好了，提出的问题又深刻。关隐达笑笑，并不多说。小刘走后，关隐达打开杂志，浏览了自己的文章。题目是：《孩子，你快乐吗？ " 儿子上初二了，眼看着就要考高中。他每天清早七点出门，晚上七点才能归家。匆匆吃过晚饭，又得做作业。 总要忙到深夜，才能上床。见孩子如此辛苦，我干着急。 我只能嘱咐孩子他妈，多给孩子弄些好吃的，别让他身体垮下去。 有次我同孩子讲到我的童年和少年，他很是神往。我小时候很苦，但是快乐。我没好吃的，没好穿的，但是有好玩的。我有很多小伙伴，我们爬树抓鸟，下河游泳，上山采蘑菇；我们夜里同邻村孩子两军对垒打仗，或是悄悄钻进甘蔗地里大饱口福；我们正月十三晚上摸黑偷别人家蔬菜煮年粑吃，那是我们老家最古怪最浪漫的乡俗。据说那是贼的节日。大人小孩都兴冲冲地当回贼，图个好玩。那天晚上谁家蔬菜被偷了，不会生气。 我小时候连贼都是有节日的，可我的孩子没有。他只有永远做不完的作业！只有没
