"Baoling, do you mean you're in Baoling County now?" Wang Yaguang's voice suddenly raised a few degrees, which made Lu Zhijian surprised, and he wouldn't let the other party be so shocked when he went down to the county, right?

"Yes, I have a position as deputy director of the county government office, but I can't compare you with the deputy director of the county party committee office, you are real, I am on a temporary post, and after the two-year suspension period, I may be able to arrange a deputy section-level position when I go back to the regional administrative office." Lu Zhijian patiently explained.

"Are you in Baoling County now?" Wang Yaguang asked again, "I mean are you in the county at this time?"

"Here, I'll come down for a temporary job, where can I go back casually?" Lu Zhijian asked strangely: "Do you know how far Baoling is from Wuling?" 47 kilometers, but it takes two hours to drive, and the general long-distance bus has to get close to two and a half hours. ”

Wang Yaguang still knows a lot about Lu Zhijian's style, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he doesn't have many complaints, when he played as a guard in the school team, in fact, the level of two guards is not as good as him, but people have a relationship, and they are stunned and don't let him, Lu Zhijian doesn't say much, if he can fight, he can fight, and if he can't play, forget it, but every time the school team organizes training, it is still conscientious training, unlike some people who are like this, they have long slapped their butts and left.

"Hmm, are you in the dormitory now?" Wang Yaguang didn't wait for Lu Zhijian to answer, so he said directly: "One of our senior Han brothers arrived in your Baoling at this time, just now I called him to tell him about the school anniversary, he said that he just arrived in Baoling, it is estimated that he will inspect the actual situation in Baoling County in the past few days, I think you can go and visit, it is estimated that your county does not know, he did not tell you the county." ”

"Who?" Lu Zhijian couldn't help but ask, it seemed that this senior brother here was quite big.

"Sha Zhengyang, he is our 86-level senior brother, and now he is the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission, maybe you have heard his name, he is in the Baoling Hotel at this time, it is estimated that he will conduct an investigation and research in your county tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you go to get acquainted, there is no harm. Wang Yaguang said quite decisively: "You have to go, maybe this is your chance." ”

Whether to go or not is a matter of attitude, and what is the attitude of people after going, that is two different things.

There are so many students from Han University, even if they are in the Wuling area for so many years, not counting the graduates of Han University before the Cultural Revolution, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, in the Wuling area and in the city and county system, I am afraid that there are no less than 100 people, right? Not everyone can catch up with these opportunities.

"Huh?" Sha Zhengyang's name Lu Zhijian had heard of, the youngest deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission, less than thirty years old, but Lu Zhijian didn't know that the other party was a graduate of Han University, and he didn't know why the other party arrived in Baoling so abruptly, "Yaguang, is it appropriate for me to go? I haven't seen it yet, wouldn't it be too abrupt to run over and ask to see him so boldly?"

"Suddenly, a fart!" Wang Yaguang couldn't help but scold a foul word, "He came to investigate, you are a junior brother, why is it called Tang Tu when you go to visit? Besides, you used to be in the political research office of the administrative department, and now you are in the county government, he will definitely ask you some situations and questions, this is just the time for you to behave, don't say anything else, in the future, when you meet your secretary and county magistrate, or the leader of your administrative department, casually mention your name, praise you a few words, and enter the eyes of the leader, maybe that is your creation!"

The unceremonious criticism made Lu Zhijian sober up a lot, for himself, what is there to be embarrassed about, be thick-skinned, even if he hits a wall, there is no loss, as Wang Yaguang said, if he can get into the eyes of the other party, in front of the leader, then the arrangements after he returns to the office may be much brighter, and he should go on this basis.

"Okay, then I'll go. Lu Zhijian made up his mind, but after thinking about it, "Yaguang, then do you think I need to buy something?"

"Shopping?" Wang Yaguang originally wanted to laugh at the other party, Sha Zhengyang still lacks this little thing from you, but after tasting it, I feel that it is inappropriate, many people are not to blame, Sha Zhengyang may not care about the value of this gift itself, but this is a courtesy, and it is also a respect for Sha Zhengyang, maybe this Senior Brother Sha likes this tune?

"It's okay, don't buy any valuables such as tobacco and alcohol, as far as I know, Senior Brother Sha hates these behaviors, but you go to visit him in the name of Senior Brother, there is no need to be too valuable, just buy a little bit of your local specialties, such as bracken, vetch, tribute tea and other things, which not only reflects your local characteristics, but also a friendship. Wang Yaguang did have an understanding of Sha Zhengyang's situation, and he knew Sha Zhengyang's style very well.

"Okay, then I'll go and prepare right away, and go to the Baoling Hotel to meet Senior Brother Sha. Lu Zhijian didn't talk much nonsense after making up his mind, "Yaguang, thank you this time, when you have time to come to our Wuling Mausoleum for a gathering." ”

Lu Zhijian put down the phone and went out.

He originally wanted to report to his direct boss, Zhou Hua, the director of the office, but after thinking that if he reported to Zhou Hua, Zhou Hua would definitely report to the county magistrate.

He could also feel it from the conversation with Wang Yaguang on the phone, that is, Wang Yaguang and Sha Zhengyang seemed to be more familiar, which also made him a little envious.

Although Wang Yaguang's family conditions are good, it should still be said that he is also very average in terms of upper-class connections, but he is so familiar with Sha Zhengyang's good relationship, what does this mean? It shows that he is quite keen in this regard, and will seize every opportunity anytime and anywhere, and he will be much sluggish in this regard, otherwise he would not have finally had an opportunity to work in the lower county but was ranked in Baoling.

From this point of view, he still has to learn from Wang Yaguang in many aspects, but fortunately, Wang Yaguang is not bad to himself, and he can still think about himself in this kind of thing.

Walking down the street, most of the shops and restaurants in this small county town have closed.

This is the case in small counties, there are not many floating populations, only tens of thousands of people, and at night, there are only a few places where there is business.

One is the teahouse, and the people who like to play cards are almost already on the table.

The second is a movie theater, a video hall, a billiard room, and one or two dance halls. The movie theater is not very profitable now, few people watch it, the video hall and billiard room are doing good business, but the consumer group is just a little bit, relatively concentrated; the song and dance hall also depends on the situation, there are slightly more people on weekends, and it is usually deserted, and it is estimated that it will not be open for long.

The third is the riverside park by the river, where a group of elderly people take a walk or practice dancing, and the number of people is not large.

The rest of the place is basically dark, dim street lamps, undulating streets, and occasionally one or two small hotels and teahouses opened in the middle of nowhere, Lu Zhijian has been here for almost half a month, and he probably knows what is going on in these small hotels and small teahouses, some grease and powder women come out from time to time, aim at their respective targets and scratch their heads, occasionally reach a deal, and then disappear into the darkness.

Not only Baoling, but also the entire Wuling area, except for Wuling City, which is the location of the Wuling District Administration, has a more developed economy and a larger floating population, and several other counties are similar, but the situation in Baoling is even worse.

Wuling area has also been hoping to be like other areas to change the city, hoping to withdraw from the area as soon as possible to build a city, but with the economic status quo of the Wuling area, it seems that it is difficult to achieve this goal in a short period of time, except for Wuling City, in order to support the scene last year, it was reluctant to take the name from the national poor counties, the other six counties are out-and-out poor counties, and compared with those poor counties in Wanzhou, it is much more backward, not only backward in a certain aspect, but backward in all aspects.

While walking, while pondering where to buy some souvenirs, there should still be a few shops on the county street to buy local souvenirs, but they should have been closed, thinking about it, there is probably only one largest souvenir shop near the Baoling Hotel, only to buy there.

Walking around Baoxi Avenue where the county government is located, followed by a relatively steep slope, walking up can make people take a few breaths, through Shunhe Street, is the Minhe Road where the Baoling Hotel is located.

Seeing the souvenir shop with lights at a glance, Lu Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly walked in, browsed again, there are many types of susrels, vetch, bracken, dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms and other wild vegetables, as well as medicinal wine, mountain bacon, preserved chicken and duck and smoked rabbit and smoked goose, etc., of course, there are a wide variety of local teas but not very famous, and there are some rattan and bamboo gadgets.

To be honest, the quality and taste of these souvenirs themselves are not to be said for the time being, but it is difficult to impress people with this packaging, and Lu Zhijian also chose a few samples after patrolling for a long time.

Two bags of tea, one is the local well-known alpine tribute tea, the other is selenium-rich green tea; one leg of ham, Baoling smoked ham is famous far and wide, mainly with mountain black pigs, and then through the local mountain free-range black pigs slaughtered hind legs, and then with a variety of processes to pickle and ferment, and finally with local mountain grass smoked, the process is complex, the taste is extremely delicious.

Tea is not expensive, two packs only cost 80 yuan, but a leg of ham is not cheap, more than 200, this time it cost Lu Zhijian about 300 yuan, which still makes Lu Zhijian a little heartbroken.

He didn't even have a target yet, and he originally said that he would save some money, this housing reform has been carried out, and the regional administration is also preparing to build a batch of houses, so he naturally can't get a new house, but the old house that has been vacated may be able to get a set.

The area of that batch of old houses is not large, it is estimated that it is fifty or sixty square meters, which has already made Lu Zhijian satisfied, even so, it is estimated that it will cost more than 10,000 yuan.

He has been working until now, and he has not saved any money.

His father is a middle school teacher in a township in Laifeng County, Laifeng is also a poor county that is not much better than Baoling, and he has suffered all his life, his mother is a housewife, and his health has been poor, and he also has a younger sister who is studying at Wuling Teacher College and is about to graduate.

My mother is not in good health and has been taking medicine in the hospital intermittently, my father's income is basically only to maintain the family expenses, and my sister's education expenses are basically dependent on him.

Fortunately, my sister is also very sensible, and she usually spends a lot of money in school, but after all, she is a girl, and he must not let her sister be too aggrieved when she is an older brother.

And Wuling's financial situation is just like that, he still has to have the necessary entertainment in the regional administrative office, otherwise he may not be able to get him in the county this time, so he didn't save much money, and he was still worried about the welfare housing of more than 10,000 yuan.
