Today, Friday, it has been five days since Zhang Xuejun took office.

To say that time flies so fast, and he is busy in the village every day, but Zhang Xuejun seems to feel that he has done nothing.

According to the "five days and four nights" work requirements, he can go home and rest.

He does need to go back, not just to rest, but also to support.

Zhang Xuejun told Lao Liu that they should continue to do a good job in the verification work, not to be afraid of anything, and just complete the verification work.

In the afternoon, after saying hello to Wu Shiren, let Long Dajun ride him to the town, and then take the bus back to the city.

When I got home, it was getting dark. The father-in-law and mother-in-law were watching TV in the living room, and when they saw Zhang Xuejun coming back, the two hurriedly got up to serve food and eat.

didn't see his wife, Zhang Xuejun said, "Let's wait for Xiaohong to come back and eat together!"

After speaking, he went to his father-in-law's side, watched TV and chatted with him.

Father-in-law, they only have one child, Zhu Xiaohong. Two old men who are nearly seventy years old, hardworking and simple, treat people kindly, and have never blushed with anyone in their lives.

Inseparable from the crops all day long, getting up early and greedy for darkness, working hard, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, year after year, just to live a better life, working hard for decades.

Today, conditions in the countryside are much better than before, and their only child has grown up, married and had children, and they are still busy.

Although my father-in-law hadn't read for a few days and couldn't say much esoteric words, he made sense of everything. Considering that his father-in-law and mother-in-law are older, Zhang Xuejun and his wife have repeatedly proposed to let the two elders rest and go to the city to live with them. But my father-in-law said, don't look at our age, our health is okay. Through our labor, we have created some wealth and strengthened our bodies so that we will not be a burden to you. We are still able to support ourselves, and wherever we go, we hold our heads high.

When Zhang Xuejun and the others were still in Wangdian Township, the conditions were not very good, and the two old men often sent rice, oil, fresh fruits and vegetables from their own output.

Even after entering the city and the conditions improved, the two old men still took a car to the city every once in a while.

Worried that the old man is old and the road is not safe, Zhang Xuejun and Zhu Xiaohong always said that there is everything in the city now, and they are not allowed to send it. The old man always said that home-grown ones are safe and nutritious.

Sometimes they were forcibly brought to the city, but the old people always returned to the countryside after three or two days, or at most a week or so, on the grounds that they were not used to it.

When they went back to visit the elderly during the New Year's holidays, Zhang Xuejun and the others always honored their mother-in-law by hundreds or hundreds, but their father-in-law and mother-in-law always supported them by thousands or tens of thousands when they needed it most. This is the parents of the world.

Father-in-law is still an old tradition, always saying that staying for a long time is annoying, and frequent relatives are also sparse. Although her daughter is her own, she is now a **, a mother, with her own family and her own life. The parents-in-law don't want to cause trouble to their daughter, so they don't want to stay for a long time.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

The father-in-law is simple, modest, and silent, chatting with Zhang Xuejun for a while and watching TV for a while. Zhang Xuejun had never observed his father-in-law so closely.

The old man's swarthy face was full of wrinkles, and a pair of kind eyes stared at the TV, sometimes laughing happily as the plot changed, sometimes frowning.

The healthy and cheerful father-in-law has become more and more strong and resolute with the polishing of the years.

Zhu Xiaohong came back from work. I was a little surprised to see Zhang Xuejun and his father sitting together.

"Ouch, our first secretary is back to save his family!" Zhu Xiaohong called happily. Let Zhang Xuejun be embarrassed.

"It's a little darker, but it's more energetic than before!" Zhu Xiaohong approached and took a closer look, and pulled Zhang Xuejun up, turning back and forth left and right a few times.

Zhu Xiaohong turned around and said, "It seems to be a little stronger." After all, this is the first time in decades that the couple has been apart for the most of these days.

Zhang Xuejun grabbed her, "Okay, okay, it's only been a few days out!" Seeing his father-in-law looking at him, Zhang Xuejun was a little embarrassed.

As the saying goes, Xiao Bie is better than newlywed. It is rare for the family to get together, and everyone raises a glass and drinks to spend the night together.

On Monday, Zhang Xuejun arrived at the office on time, and Xie Feng was already waiting for him in the office.

After briefly reporting the general situation in the village for a few days, Zhang Xuejun finally said: "It's good to check and say, those situations are clear, and the people in the village are staring at them, and after they have the results, they will report to the village to see how to deal with them." Now the point is that there is something that I want you to help with. ”

Xie Feng poured him a cup of tea, "Don't worry, speak slowly!"

"In fact, there are two, one is the problem of the road, which is estimated to be impossible to repair at once, and it is necessary to put it in the next step, but it is necessary to prepare in advance. ”

Zhang Xuejun was a little impatient as soon as he returned to the agency, "The other is that there are no street lights in the village square, and at night, the village is dark, and I hope to help build a few solar street lights." This is the most direct help, and it is also an immediate effect of poverty alleviation. ”

Xie Feng did not refuse, saying that the solar street lights were managed by the Energy Bureau, and his personal ability was limited, so he wanted to ask the leader in charge to come forward. And said that the matter of air conditioning has been resolved, and someone will be sent to it in a few days.

After making a few phone calls, Xie Feng and Zhang Xuejun drove to the Transportation Bureau.

The Transport Bureau is responsible for building bridges and roads.

Seeing that Xie Feng was also here, the director was very polite, and notified several team members to come in to discuss.

In fact, as a functional department, the road situation in Zhengjiawan Village is clear to the traffic department. But it takes money to build roads, and it's not a small amount. At present, it is impossible for the district to use money specifically to build roads in the village, and besides, the district treasury cannot come up with such a large amount of money at once.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus. That is, the transportation department should first declare the project to the urban development and Reform Commission, and strive for the support of the provinces and cities to enter the project database as soon as possible, and it would be better if it could get national support. It's just that this year's declaration period has passed, see if you can make up for it, in case it doesn't work, you can only wait for the next batch.

After leaving the Transportation Bureau, they came to the Energy Bureau non-stop. After Xie Feng explained the situation, the director of the Energy Bureau was a cheerful person and said bluntly, "This year, there are indeed a batch of solar street lamp indicators." However, the whole region must make overall arrangements, and many conditions in Zhengjiawan in Jinkou Town are not up to standard, at least the roads are not passable, and the lights cannot be sent in. So, this year, I didn't arrange your village. ”

At this time, the director's phone rang, and he got up and went outside to answer the phone.

After turning off the phone, the director came in and said with a smile: "You guys are really not interesting, if you want a street lamp, just say it, and ask the leader to come forward." Tu XX is my old boss and leader. Hahaha, it seems that it can't be arranged without it!"

"Well, let's adjust the indicators a little more. Let's see if I can give you a shot from other villages, and I'll notify you when the adjustment is done, how about it?"

Xie Feng saw that things had taken a turn for the better so quickly, and for fear that something would happen again, he hurriedly agreed, "Okay, okay." Thanks!

In the past few days in the village, road construction has become Zhang Xuejun's heart disease.

It seems that I can't be in a hurry, and I can't rush to come, so I can only wait.

Now, the solar street lights have basically landed, and the road repair is somewhat eyebrow-raising, and the matter is quite satisfactory, and it is finally not in vain.

Hearing that Zhang Xuejun was back, Ma Ming, a close friend, pulled him to the "simmering soup restaurant" regardless of 3721, ordered a can of local chicken soup and a few green vegetables, and the two chatted while eating.

Ma Ming ordered a bottle of liquor.

Zhang Xuejun said that he would not drink. He said that party members and cadres are not allowed to drink alcohol on weekdays.

"It's okay, it's just the two of us," Ma Ming advised.

"It's a rule and we have to follow it strictly. Zhang Xuejun insisted: "No matter how many people there are, you must be responsible for yourself." ”

Ma Ming couldn't help it, feeling that he had suddenly changed a little. I had to raise the teacup and salute Zhang Xuejun with tea instead of wine. "It's been down for a few days, how do you feel, Secretary Zhang!"

Zhang Xuejun picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's okay!"

"I've heard that your village is very complicated and not easy to manage. There used to be a first secretary, but it seems that he ran away later. So, rearrange our agency. "Ma Ming said it with an eye and a version.

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are battles!" Zhang Xuejun took a few sips of soup, stared at Ma Ming and continued: "How is the city?

"When I go back to the countryside, I still think the countryside is better. Zhang Xuejun was moved, and what he said was sincere. This soup tastes really good.

Ma Ming felt that it had only been a week since the Xuejun went to the countryside in this chapter, but it had obviously changed a lot and matured a lot. No more whining, less talking, but incisive, and some truth. Is the countryside really a place to exercise people? Or have you not seen each other for a few days and become unfamiliar?
