For two days in a row, Chen Qingdong drank several times with various people, drank at noon and drank at night, there was no chance to rest, and he was drunk every day, and he didn't even go home, and slept in the dormitory of the farm every day.

It wasn't until Wednesday that this wave of drinking was finally over, and Chen Qingdong could finally put his energy into his work, and he could officially experience what it was like to be the deputy mayor.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of officially experiencing the taste of the deputy mayor, Chen Qingdong encountered a tricky thing.

At about half past ten o'clock in the morning of that day, Yang Fei went to the county to hold a meeting to strengthen and promote the work of party building under the new situation, and Chen Qingdong was alone in the office to read the work report of the county government of the people's congress.

Now that Chen Qingdong has become the deputy mayor of the town, the biggest difference from when he was an ordinary person in the past is that he must further enhance his view of the overall situation! We must have a clear understanding of the important spirit of the county leaders and the main development situation in the county, so that we can keep up with the pace of the county leaders in our future work and avoid making detours.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office, and Chen Qingdong thought that someone was coming to visit the door, or someone from several departments he was in charge of reporting to him, so he put down the government report and said, "Come in." ”

Unexpectedly, when the door was pushed open, an old man who looked to be at least seventy years old walked in.

This old man is short in stature, and he bows very strongly, his face is full of wrinkles, his skin is dark, and his clothes are very ordinary, at first glance, he looks like a lot of young clothes, but his expression is very serious, he purses his mouth tightly, and his eyes look straight at Chen Qingdong.

Chen Qingdong felt that this old man was a little familiar, and he should have seen him several times, but he didn't know what his name was.

In fact, it's normal to think about it, the entire Shuangshan Town is so big, a market is hundreds of meters long, and you can't see it when you look up.

Chen Qingdong stood up and asked politely, "Old comrade, who are you looking for?"

The old man looked at Chen Qingdong and asked in a snort, "You...... Are you Mayor Chen?"

So soon the masses will know themselves?

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, uncle, I'm Chen Qingdong, are you looking for me?"

"Are you really Mayor Chen?" the old man looked a little incredulous, as if he thought that this deputy mayor was too young!

"Yes, I'm Deputy Mayor Chen. Chen Qingdong walked up to the old man, handed him a cigarette, and then asked, "Uncle, what do you call it?"

Lao Tu took the cigarette, looked at it and said: "Oh, my surname is Ma, and people call me 'Ma Er', but in fact, my big name is Ma Shengli." ”

Horse 2?Horse Victory?

Chen Qingdong didn't have this name in his impression, so he asked again: "Uncle Ma, is there something wrong with you?"

"Yes, I have something!" Ma Shengli immediately looked a little excited, suddenly grabbed Chen Qingdong's hand tightly, looked at Chen Qingdong with the light of expectation in his eyes, and asked, "Mayor Chen, can you help me?"

"Hehe, uncle, tell me what is the matter first, if I can handle it, I will definitely help you deal with it. Chen Qingdong said with a smile.

It seems that Chen Qingdong's promise made Ma Shengli feel that his words were valued by others, or maybe he felt the hope that his matter might be solved from Chen Qingdong's promise, a pair of eyes that were already a little cloudy flashed with tears, and his excited hands trembled.

"Come, Uncle Ma, sit here and talk slowly. ”

Chen Qingdong helped Ma Shengli to a chair and sat down, then took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for him, and suddenly thought of Yang Fei's article on not smoking in the office in the three chapters of his covenant, but just lit the cigarette for Ma Shengli, and asked him for a cigarette, it seemed that it was unreasonable, Chen Qingdong got up and opened the window, and then sat opposite Ma Shengli, and said patiently: "Uncle, if you have anything, just say it, say it slowly." ”

Ma Shengli took two puffs of cigarette before he began to say: "My family is from Malou Village, and I used to have a daughter, she went to the south to work when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and was deceived by traffickers...... I'm alone in my family now, I'm almost 70 years old this year, and I can't plant the land, and the government has designated me as a five-guarantee household, but I haven't received anything from the brigade for a long time......"

Speaking of this, Ma Shengli's emotions suddenly became excited, he raised his head and looked at Chen Qingdong, his body trembled slightly because of excitement, and he raised his voice and said: "Everything the government gave me was swallowed by that black sloppy man of our brigade! I'm going to sue him for a dog! Let him eat in prison!"

Chen Qingdong generally understood Ma Shengli's matter, it turned out that he was a girl who was abducted by traffickers, and now there is no one to support the Wubao household, and the people of their village branch have embezzled what the government originally issued to him, so he came to complain to himself!

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but be very angry!

As a matter of fact, he was very aware of these filthy things that happened in the countryside, and he was also very indignant about them! In particular, the village cadres' exploitation of the poor people who had been rescued by the government made Chen Qingdong the most angry!

These people who have been rescued by the government are already those lonely old people, disabled patients or young children who are helpless and have no ability to work, these people are already very pitiful, if the people who are village cadres not only do not want to help them, but also exploit them and bully them, can this still be regarded as people?!

It is true that Chen Qingdong is now bent on his career, so he is not much interested in things that have nothing to do with this goal, but he knows that deep in his heart, there has always been a soft place!

Since he is now the deputy mayor in charge of civil affairs, he can't turn a blind eye to this matter!

However, today is only the first day that he officially sat here to work, and this Ma Shengli found himself, and he also knew that he was the deputy mayor in charge of civil affairs, which made Chen Qingdong a little curious, because this was obviously not the information that a lonely old man like Ma Shengli could understand?

Could it be that someone is pointing him behind his back?

Considering the complicated struggle situation in Shuangshan Town, Chen Qingdong had to be cautious about everything, so he did not rush to express his stance to Ma Shengli, but asked: "Uncle Ma, let me ask you something, how do you know that I work in this office? Also, how do you know that I am the deputy mayor in charge of civil affairs?"

Ma Shengli was stunned for this question Chen Qingdong said, and then a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and then he obviously lied and said, "No...... For no reason...... I've heard people say the ......"

"Listen to what people say, who do you listen to?"

"It's not ...... Nobody ......."

Seeing that Ma Shengli was reluctant to say that person's name, Chen Qingdong became even more curious about this matter, so he leaned back, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Uncle Ma, if you don't believe me, then you can tell me nothing." However, the reverse is also true, since you don't believe me, then I can't control your business. ”

Ma Shengli was anxious when he heard this: "Don't! Don't! Mayor Chen! You can't ignore my business! If you don't care about my business, then no one really cares about my business, you have to make the decision for me......

Speaking of the back, Ma Shengli almost cried with excitement.

Chen Qingdong was just scaring him, and when he saw that Ma Shengli was afraid of this, he put on a smile again and said: "Uncle Ma, if you believe me, tell me, and I will definitely keep it a secret for you! If you hide it from me, but tell me everything, I can't make the decision for you, right?"

Ma Shengli pondered Chen Qingdong's words for a while, and seemed to think that what Chen Qingdong said was very reasonable, so he made up his mind and said: "Okay! Mayor Chen, I think you are a good person! I will tell you everything, but you must keep it a secret for me? I can't hurt others!"

"Of course I'll keep it a secret for you!" Chen Qingdong promised, "Uncle Ma, you can say it." ”

Ma Shengli then said: "Actually...... It was Cadre Liu from the Civil Affairs Office who told me that I came to you today and said that you are now the deputy mayor in charge of civil affairs...... People are nice and will help me ......"

"Cadre Liu of the Civil Affairs Office?" Chen Qingdong asked, thought for a while, and then said, "Liu Jiangtao?"

Ma Shengli nodded with some horror in his eyes, and then said uneasily: "Mayor Chen, Cadre Liu is a good person, don't punish him." ”

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, what am I punishing him for? The things that Liu Jiangtao said are all normal situations, and they are not things that cannot be said. Don't worry, I won't embarrass him for this. ”

After assuring Ma Shengli, Chen Qingdong said again: "However, Uncle Ma, isn't your matter recent?"

Ma Shengli shook his head and said, "It's been more than a year, and I used to send me something, but now there are fewer and fewer things, so I won't give it to ...... in the past few months."

"Then you didn't go to the civil affairs office to find someone to deal with this matter before?"

"I found it, why didn't I find it?" Ma Shengli said helplessly, "But it's useless for me to look for it, no one cares about me at all......

"Who are you looking for?"

"Director Zhou of the Civil Affairs Office, ......"

Chen Qingdong's mind immediately appeared in the civil affairs director Zhou Quan's very simple looking face, they were still drinking together last night, as the leader in charge of the civil affairs office, Zhou Quan had to bring him two glasses of wine, Chen Qingdong couldn't push it off, so he had to drink two large glasses!

Just these two glasses of wine, Chen Qingdong, who had already drunk a lot of wine, was directly dizzy, and in the end he was sent back to the farm to rest.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingdong asked, "Director Zhou doesn't care about your business?

At the mention of this stubble, Ma Shengli said very angrily: "He used to fool me, saying that he wanted to investigate this matter or something, and asked me to go back and wait for news! But I waited for the second and second ranks, but I couldn't wait for the news, so I came to him again." After looking for it a few times, he didn't care about my business! He also said that everything the government had given me had already been sent to the village branch, and that he couldn't take care of it when I asked me to go to the village branch! I saw that those things were just divided between him and the sloppiness of our village brigade!"

"So Liu Jiangtao gave you an idea and asked you to come to me?"

"Yes......" Ma Shengli raised his head and glanced at Chen Qingdong again, and when he saw his face full of smiles, he continued, "Cadre Liu is really a good person! He cares about my affairs very much and wants to help me, but he is just a soldier, so it doesn't matter if he says it." The most important thing is that he gave me an idea, asking me to come to you, Mayor Chen, and said that you are in charge of Director Zhou, and he must listen to what you say! Mayor Chen, you really won't blame Cadre Liu for this, right?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Uncle Ma, I mean what I say, and I will never trouble Liu Jiangtao for this matter. Chen Qingdong smiled, pondered for a while, and asked again: "Uncle Ma, is there anything else in your village that makes you in this situation?"

"Yes!" Ma Shengli said excitedly, "there are several things like me, who can't get relief! But they don't have the courage, for fear that the sloppy son will retaliate against them, and no one dares to make trouble! Alas! We are now old, and we can't do the work in the fields, if it weren't for the pity of our neighbors, who gave me a dustpan of rice and half a bag of wheat, we would all starve to death......

Chen Qingdong's face was ugly, and he solemnly said to Ma Shengli: "Uncle Ma, I know your situation." But I'm going to investigate this matter again. You go back first, and I'll give you a result as soon as possible. ”

Ma Shengli asked with some suspicion: "Mayor Chen, you won't fool me, right?"

Chen Qindong said solemnly: "Don't worry, Uncle Ma, I'm not fooling you." I'll tell you to go back and wait for news, and I'll definitely give you a message!"

Ma Shengli nodded excitedly and said, "Mayor Chen, I can see that you are a good person, I believe in you!
