Zhou Mi knew that his father would not make things up out of thin air, so he could not understand it, and he did not have time to ask his father why he said this. Therefore, standing at the table, I had to listen to what my father said, and I couldn't understand what I meant for a while.

Besides, when Tang Shiyong served as the security director in the team, he had a one-sided relationship with Peng Xiaozhi. It was only because at that time, as long as there were people with some culture, they were promoted to higher positions, and Du Tang Shiyong was delayed because of some important things. But all along, Tang Shiyong didn't want to have a chance between the localities, he just wanted to stay in the countryside, looking at the sky beyond his hand and the butterflies dancing in the flowers, and he was content with the dream career, which had been carved for generations and failed to succeed.

The old tea pavilion is the place where the government residents rest and taste tea, it was built for a long time, but its Han and Tang Dynasty style relics are still intact, although it has undergone the change of dynasties, it is still simple and simple, and it is empty. The site selection is exquisite, when the road is built, the spring is chosen to live, the back is backed by the barren slopes of the mountains, the wild tea is everywhere, it is convenient to pick auspicious, the spring is boiled with the hand, the fragrance comes to the nose, and the cool wind, the breeze blows by, and suddenly refreshes the spleen, comfortable and refreshing. Past officials, stop the horse and get off the sedan chair, take a break to taste tea, sit for one or two hours, or urgent official documents, too lazy to move to urge the whip, cool in summer and warm in winter, spring water is cool through the heart, boiled water blends tea leaves behind the house, Qingyi nourishes qi, and refreshes the heart.

The old tea pavilion has been worshiped by officials for generations, and the Han Dynasty called the position of the pavilion chief, although the official micro-position is small, and the authority is measurable, but it is** Aisle fortress, guarding the north and south of the key points, the past personnel interrogation, the official document sent to the errand for a long time, the past is very close, with the best wine in the city, and the local food and raising chickens and ducks wood stove cooking, with the water of the mountain spring, or often from the fishing boat to buy the water herring, mandarin fish, yellow bucket fish, only need to boil the spring water, the fresh and delicious, and the errand and a few members in the pavilion eat with the bush, the wine is more than half drunk, the things in the city also know a little about the ordinary things of the court officials are not unknown, acquaintance, but two or three days, and suddenly return to turn around, all the matters are done, although they are all lower-level officials, but also an official and a half of the ability, in the mountains and wilderness seems to be the generation of calling for wind and rain。 Seeing the official hat, the words must be official, sitting in the official posture, the line and the horse, the official document in the body, Fenglu is continuous, the year is blessed with the wife and the shadow, begging for the official meal, jumping into the palace, living in the yamen, climbing in a row, nepotism, the blessing of the future generations. Because the villagers, the old women and sisters-in-law in the countryside will call the officials to compliment, and they will bow down to the prime minister. The officials in the pavilion discussed the entrustment of the past servants, and wanted to take over the affairs of their children's families. Officials and officials protect each other, a glorious and prosperous, close to the friends of the Qin and Jin, the generations of Qin and Jin are connected, the descendants of the pillow loess, sleep and sleep nine springs, depending on the descendants of the descendants of the gentleman step by step, this generation of the pavilion of the office, for the future generations to throw bricks and jade, do the bottom of the cornerstone, may the descendants of the endless increase in the official into the knight, the reputation of the secretary of the secretary and the like, also Jiuquan smiled.

But now this old tea pavilion has lost the needs of the ancient times, and now it has become the office of the brigade. Peng Xiaozhi was elected as the deputy captain in his early thirties, just because he spoke freely, and he was even better at writing and calculating, both civil and military.

In the middle of this month, Peng Xiaozhi was going to Dashan Forest Farm to preside over the meeting, accompanied by cadres from several brigades. Walk all the way, cross the bridge in the water, and open the road in the mountains. I was sweating profusely, and the back of my clothes was already soaked. It was almost dusk, and he started to make a report in the evening, and Peng Xiaozhi forgot to bring the report document at this time. At seven o'clock in the evening, the meeting began quickly, and everyone was very worried that the report could not be completed, the work could not be completed, and everyone had to hinder the approval of the superior leaders. Everyone was anxious and sweated for Peng Xiaozhi. At this time, the meeting began, and only applause could be heard. At this time, Peng Xiaozhi talked about the current situation of forests, talked about forest reform and development, talked about the economic benefits of forests, and so on. Peng Xiaozhi wrote down the whole report word for word. After the meeting, the relevant colleagues approached him and reported how the document was recorded word for word. Peng Xiaozhi just smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the content is simple and easy to remember." Just a few understatement words pushed everyone's worries all at once.

On the second day, Peng Xiaozhi and his colleagues went down the mountain together, and when they passed through Xiaocang Mountain, there was no village in front of it, and there was no shop in the back, and it was a deserted place. When you look up, you can't see the sky, the trees are thick, the road is not the road, and the grass is green. Just as he was about to walk, a few people suddenly came out of the grass and crossed the middle of the road, blocking the way out of Peng Xiaozhi and a few colleagues. Peng Xiaozhi saw this, but he didn't expect that there were bandits rampant in his jurisdiction. Grabbed his own head, and it paid off. So he shouted: "Who dares to pretend to be a ghost here, and he still doesn't invite me truthfully." I saw that one of the people in the group took the lead and said, "Who are you? Dare to shout here, this is not your brigade headquarters." Peng Xiaozhi said angrily: "You know who we are. Why don't you give way and rob state officials, but the crime is one more degree. The leader said, "You are the one who robs, see where you run." Peng Xiaozhi was furious: "It depends on what skills you have, you are a good thief, you have the ability to come up and take it!" Peng Xiaozhi is a person who has learned kung fu, and he is at the prime of his youth. Fought with the leader, a few rounds, no winner or loser. Peng Xiaozhi punched and kicked, and his movements were quick. Who knew that group of people rushed up, coupled with the overwhelming number of people, they quickly subdued those colleagues. Although Peng Xiaozhi had a few efforts, he was outnumbered and couldn't support it. And because the bandits took out knives and forced their colleagues, they told Peng Xiaozhi to stop, saying, "If you don't stop, we'll use the knife." When Peng Xiaozhi turned around to look, he saw that the general trend had come out, so he stopped and let the bandits take the food stamps and money on their bodies. The cadres of the brigade were looted, and the gang escaped in the mountains and forests after succeeding, and disappeared for a while. I can't figure it out for a while. Peng Xiaozhi was so angry that he screamed, and he couldn't remember what they looked like for a while, and he didn't know where to start, but he remembered that they didn't speak with a local accent and were of medium stature. When I returned to the police station, I had to report the case, and I told me about the general situation, and I didn't know much about what happened only a few hours ago. Therefore, the matter has been settled, and there has been no news after a year and a half of investigation.

Peng Xiaozhi returned to the old tea pavilion and began his daily work. There were many women who came to him on this day, as long as Peng Xiaozhi worked in the old tea pavilion. There are always three or five coming to him, and Peng Xiaozhi is not too troublesome. It's just that I've been very busy with work lately, so I don't have time to take care of them. But no matter how busy and tired Peng Xiaozhi is, he has to find some time to accompany them. Do the girls want to eat candy? Peng Xiaozhi took out the candy from his pocket and gave it to them one by one. This was brought back from the venue when Peng Xiaozhi went out to preside over the meeting. At this time, one of the women named Li Xiao'e said: "Big leader, give two more candies today to hum the child!" Peng Xiaozhi responded slowly: "It's not good to eat candy, so what do you want to eat!" Li Xiao'e smiled and replied: "Of course it's the delicacies of the mountains and seas! Can you get it?" Peng Xiaozhi was settling accounts, double abacus calculations, one in and one out. Hearing Li Xiao'e talking, she replied: "Xiao'e! We are far away from the sea, and we can't get seafood, but we can get mountain treasures at any time." If you want to eat, I'll help you catch a pheasant for you to eat one day. Li Xiao'e immediately replied: "The big leader's words have to count. Peng Xiaozhi hurriedly replied slowly: "Count, of course count, one day to ensure that you have something to eat." ”

Once a person is powerful and powerful, there are always people who come to stammer, and there are countless people who give gifts with bags. If the will is not firm and the system is not strict, the future of the first life can easily fall here. These gift-givers are like ants on a tree, although they can't shake the tree, they can bite the tree into a thousand holes. Once a strong wind and rain come, the tree will not be able to withstand the ravages of the strong wind and will collapse. It also seems to be a truth. Power is a holy and untainted institution. She is the sacrosanct throne that mankind has defended with blood and life for generations. For several dynasties, the carving has been carved from generation to generation, and carved for one dynasty after another. All because of the moths that breed in dynasties, the power collapses and disintegrates. History repeats itself, society evolves. I don't know which dynasty or generation it is.

Peng Xiaozhi has always taken the girls' affairs to heart, and this day he saw the hunter Li Hongxue passing by the old tea pavilion, so he talked about it and said, "Lao Li, it's been good lately." Li Hongxue was extremely happy when she saw that the cadres of the brigade greeted her in person, and immediately replied: "Oh, leading comrade, you have worked hard, what do you have to say?" Peng Xiaozhi heard Li Hongxue so polite, so he said: "You are a master of hunting, if you catch any mountain delicacies, please send them to us, our cadres here want to try it." I'll give you some money then. Li Hongxue saw that the cadres of the brigade wanted to eat, how dare he collect money. just said: "The leader of the brigade wants to eat, send a few pheasants and hares over, how dare you take your money, you are my Li Hongxue's parents and officials!" Peng Xiaozhi saw this, and said: "The money to be given to you is just a little bit of a meaning." You also rely on this craft to beg for food. When Li Hongxue saw this, he said: "You're welcome, I have to trouble you if I have something in the future, let's talk about it then!" Peng Xiaozhi saw that Li Hongxue was so polite, and he didn't say much, but just said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can come to me if there is anything in the future." Li Hongxue was very happy to see this. I thought that it was a blessing to be able to have such a leader. was polite with Peng Xiaozhi. Carrying the bird gun on his back, he went straight to the great deep mountain.

Peng Xiaozhi returned to the office of the old tea pavilion and brewed a cup of tea, which tasted sweet. Now that you've counted your day, lie down in your office chair and relax a little. Just as he was closing his eyes and recuperating, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside. Peng Xiaozhi rolled over and walked out. Seeing that it was Li Xiao'e, he smiled and said, "You came early!" Li Xiao'e saw Peng Xiaozhi say this, so she said unhappily: "I think I'm early!" Peng Xiaozhi saw that the girl was angry, and immediately changed her words and said: "How dare you, how dare you." I'm just saying, you're coming early, we can talk a little more. At this time, the two were talking in the corridor, but they happened to see Li Hongxue carrying a few pheasants and a few hares. Peng Xiaozhi was happy from the heart, how could there be such a coincidence, so he took a pheasant and a hare, and prepared lunch dishes. hurriedly said to Li Hongxue: "Thank you, come to me if you have anything in the future." When Li Hongxue heard this, she was very happy in her heart and said, "I won't bother you, I'll leave first." Peng Xiaozhi said hello to Li Hongxue, and then busily chatted with Li Xiao'e.

At noon that day, Peng Xiaozhi and Li Xiao'e ate wild game, and they felt that it was delicious. Peng Xiaozhi is a cadre of the brigade, and there are many people looking for him every day. At the beginning, he was impartial and neat, and he was deeply impressed by everyone. Later, due to the increase in the number of people who came to him, the daily expenses gradually increased, and he was no longer greedy for finances, and he could not even afford to provide lunch when he took some gifts from the masses. Peng Xiaozhi thought about it left and right, and his heart was confused for a while. Justice and corruption were intertwined in his mind. With his monthly salary of dozens of yuan, the contrast with the daily flow of customers is too great, and he has to take some benefit money from the treasury to make up for the shortfall.

In order to marry Li Xiao'e, Peng Xiaozhi had no money to do it for a while, and deeply felt the hardships of the world and the helplessness of no money. Later, under the conjugation of leading cadres, a simple wedding was done. But the cost is not small, and it has moved Peng Xiaozhi's roots. In order to fill the shortfall, I had to take some out of the brigade to help in times of crisis. But the good times didn't last long, and the working group above came down to inspect the work. Peng Xiaozhi was so frightened that he wanted to deal with the working group and refused to give some gifts. A few months later, a notice came down from above. Peng Xiaozhi was punished, expelled from the party, expelled from the cadre, and was recuperated at home. Peng Xiaozhi has plummeted since then, living the same life as ordinary people.

This matter has long been heard by Tang Shiyong. In fact, Tang Shiyong knew all the previous actions, but he just had a guess that Peng Xiaozhi might not have a long official fortune, or he would be dismissed. As Tang Shiyong expected, getting such an end is also karma. I think that at the beginning, Peng Xiaozhi was also a promising young man, and he didn't want to degenerate into a corrupt official in a few years. Power is really a good thing, it can call the wind and rain, it can bring the dead back to life, and it can be followed by everyone. But it is also a place to hide dirt and dirt, and it is also a place to attract insects and ants. When you are wearing an official uniform, you must think about doing things for the people and seeking benefits for the people. Otherwise, the dirt will accumulate deeper and deeper, and the moths will accumulate more and more. How he will die at that time is unknown.

Tang Shiyong clearly understood the dangers of being an official, so he stayed away from officialdom and entered the underworld of ordinary people, living a life without fighting with the world. The black path is the white way, but it is relative. Only those who have been faithful and upright for generations, who have worked for the people and for the people wholeheartedly, have this honor. There is no temptation of fame and fortune in the underworld, no pursuit of human accidents, and no social circle that is as light as water. There is only a test of courage and loyalty, only an oath of unity as iron, and only loyal allegiance. Although Peng Xiaozhi is not loyal, after several generations of blood fusion, he has initially formed the idea of patriotism for the people. Tang Shiyong wanted to test how high his ideological consciousness was, to see how deep his thinking nature was, and how hard his loyalty was.

This is a season of fertilization, and on this day Tang Shiyong went out of the field to carry manure and fertilizer. Passing through Yangtianjie, I saw that Peng Xiaozhi was also working tirelessly to carry the dung and rush to the old man. Tang Shiyong followed not far behind, Peng Xiaozhi felt that someone was following behind, so he turned his head and glanced at it, only to feel that the sweat kept dripping. I had to take a break halfway through, and I saw that Tang Shiyong was coming. Then he shouted: "Old Tang, take a rest first, so as not to tire your body." Tang Shiyong was very energetic, he didn't need to rest, but seeing that it was Peng Xiaozhi, he had the heart to take a break, talk about family life, and talk about his ideals and ambitions. Tang Shiyong saw that although Peng Xiaozhi went home to farm, his official temperament did not change. thought to himself: Such a big blow did not make him depressed, and it also shows the strength of this person's will. So he asked: "Lao Zhi, what do you think about sending you to the countryside and farming again this time?" Peng Xiaozhi raised his head and said: "Going home to farm is no worse than being an official in the brigade, and life is still good." Tang Shiyong saw that if he continued to ask like this, it would be in vain. So the two of them each lit an old dry cigarette and smoked half of it silently. Peng Xiaozhi opened his mouth and said: "Old Tang! Actually, I don't want to fall to this point! When I first became an official, I was very ambitious, and I also wanted to make contributions to the brigade and the country. It's just that there were a lot of guests coming and going later, and that little salary was not enough, so the thinking was deserted at that time, and the idea of serving the country was not stable enough. was stunned by those people for a while, so he fell into this place. Tang Shiyong saw Peng Xiaozhi confiding in his heart, and just said: "It is difficult to be an official, it is even more difficult to be a clean official, and it is really difficult to be an official who contributes to the country." Peng Xiaozhi saw that Tang Shiyong said what was in the official's heart, and his eyes were really watery, and tears were rolling in his eyes. So he said: "One thought will ruin my good future." It shouldn't have ended like this, but it ended up like this. It's useless to regret it now, only cheer up and live a good life. You are also a former official, and you should know the suffering. Tang Shiyong saw that Peng Xiaozhi had his true feelings, so he said: "Lao Zhi is worthy of being the deputy captain, his thoughts can always turn a corner, he can bend and stretch, and he can go up and down, and he is really a rare talent in society." Peng Xiaozhi saw that Tang Shiyong praised himself so much, and now he is a person who has stepped down, and he still praises him so much, which is really heartfelt. said: "Old Tang, when I was on stage, I didn't see you praise me so much, but after I stepped down, I really thank you for your noble words." Tang Shiyong was really shocked when he saw Peng Xiaozhi say such a thing. So he said: "The same rivers and lakes are pitiful, why should we have met before." You and I are sympathetic to each other, so why bother to say such polite words. Peng Xiaozhi saw that Tang Shiyong was so reasonable, and he was a close friend. The two talked happily, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon, and the sun was about to set. So the two of them took the cow dung and walked quickly to the field.

The next day, continue to carry cow dung. The two are on the same page and have the same goal. Talking about the past, talking about the facts of the present. All of them make people happy and sad. After a few days, the fields were full of cow dung. Thanks to the acquaintance of the two and their mutual agreement, they finished it so quickly. As the sun sets, the afterglow is overwhelming. Tang Shiyong carried the empty basket home, and at this time, there was a sound of frogs and insects, which set off each other with the slanting sun, forming a beautiful landscape.

It is a common thing for Po to get up in the morning. Seeing Tang Shiyong passing by the corridor, he got up and asked, "Old Tang, why are you in such a hurry?" Tang Shiyong saw Jipo, so he said in a heartfelt voice: "I'm worried about some things, you don't know." Now the world is still unstable, I don't know how to clean up, and I am in a dilemma for a while. Jipo was in the farmland all day long, not asking about the world, and when he heard Tang Shiyong say, he was shocked. I thought that the world is much more peaceful now than in the past, but I only remembered the original thing, the war-torn era. Now that I want to come to today's peaceful and prosperous world, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, why do I have to worry about it, I really don't know why. So he asked: "Old Tang is always worried about the affairs of the world, his mind is far away, his vision is broad, and he is not like the frog at the bottom of the well." When I heard your words, I suddenly felt that my mouth was suddenly opened, and I suddenly opened up for a while. Tang Shiyong heard Jipo's words, and immediately sighed, and said: "The affairs of the world should be planned by the powerful, how dare we talk about it in vain, Jipo's words are really too famous." Jipo can hear the meaning beyond the words, listen to Tang Shiyong's voice, feel uneven, although the same is a rural villager, but there are slight differences, which shows that Tang Shiyong's heart has the heart of tolerating the world, often discuss with it, talking about the world's affairs, Tang Shiyong is not exhaustive, every sentence is reasonable, and the analysis is thorough. Ji Po was deeply impressed. Today, I saw a rare painful expression on Tang Shiyong's thin face, knowing that something was happening again, but he didn't have time to ask carefully, so he had to worry about his heart, and he was in awe, and admired it in his heart. So he asked: "Why is Old Tang so responsible for today's things, and there is no work, but why bother?" Tang Shiyong heard Jipo's words, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his heart affected the nerves of his whole body, so he sighed and said: "Lao Po doesn't know something, as the saying goes: people in the rivers and lakes, and their bodies can't help it." You are outside the world, how can you understand the reason. It's just that in the future, when your son grows up, he will also know his inside story, and when he gets tired, he will deeply understand that you are not in the market, of course, I don't know, and it is reasonable. Jipo heard Tang Shiyong's remarks, but he really didn't understand that the disputes in the rivers and lakes have been going on for a long time, and he was indeed not a person in the rivers and lakes, and it was difficult to predict the affairs in the rivers and lakes, so he could only sigh and think about it. Tang Shiyong saw that Jipo was speechless, and he didn't interrogate in detail, but just listened carefully and was still asleep, his voice was even and powerful, and his voice was long. After hearing this, Tang Shiyong's heart suddenly calmed down, and said to Jipo: "What are you doing in the field today? After listening to it, Ji Po felt that Tang Shiyong's words had always been reasonable, so he was not busy for a while, the two sat in the corridor, smoked dry smoke, and were smoky for a while, immersed in the atmosphere of smoke and language.

If an hour passed, Zhou Mi turned over, heard the sound outside the window, someone was talking carefully, immediately got up, looked at the corridor outside the window, and saw that it was his father and Uncle Tang Shiyong, so he put on his clothes, sat under the window and read a book for a while, only to know that the time for school had come, so he ate the meal cooked by his mother Tingyu and went to school together. I have been thinking about the things in my dream in my heart, and when I heard the words of Uncle Tang Shiyong, I was very curious, and I couldn't forget it when I went deep into the bone marrow for a while.
