Guo Shanping, the former secretary of the Guicheng Prefectural Party Committee, became the first ******** of Xinguicheng, and Wang Baohua, the former commissioner ********of the Guicheng District Administration, became the acting mayor of Xinguicheng.

In fact, the current city leaders have much more power than when they were regional leaders, mainly because of their autonomy and jurisdiction over the counties and districts under their jurisdiction.

In fact, the district administration did not have much jurisdiction over the subordinate counties and cities, but the province had absolute management over them, so it can be said that the position of the regional administration was very embarrassing.

Now it is different, the current Guicheng city government is a serious first-level local government, and all kinds of autonomy and jurisdiction over the subordinate counties and districts have been greatly strengthened.

The reform of Guicheng City has made many people celebrate, even those ordinary people, although they don't know what benefits the city reform has for them, they are also very happy, but Ding Hongxing doesn't have much feeling about it, he has already experienced a city reform in his previous life, and now he is also very busy.

It's the third year of high school, this is the last year of high school, there are only ten months before the college entrance examination, the sense of urgency of students and teachers has been greatly strengthened, and on the blackboard behind the classroom, a big college entrance examination countdown is written in red chalk xx days, which is updated every day by the students on duty, which further enhances the tension brought by the college entrance examination.

Ding Hongxing, as the deputy class leader, now he not only has to pay close attention to his own study, but also spend more energy on class affairs, and the activities of the study and mutual aid group cannot be left behind.

As the captain of the team, Ding Hongxing's burden is also quite heavy now, after all, he will participate in the National Middle School Football Championship next month, they practice every Friday, and Ding Hongxing has to assist He Wei to do more work.

At the beginning of this semester, a strange thing happened, Sun Bingcheng did not come to sign up, Ding Hongxing asked Du Juncai, who was in the same village as him, and he said that Sun Bingcheng was going to drop out of school, and the reason was unbelievable, he was going to get married.

Sun Bingcheng studied late, he is relatively old, he is nineteen years old this year, it is not uncommon for children in the countryside to get married at this age, some are married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but Sun Bingcheng is already in his third year of high school, his grades are not bad, there is no problem in being admitted to a junior college, if he plays well, it is also possible to go to an undergraduate, how could his family let him drop out of school at this time and get married?

After Ding Hongxing discussed with Qin Hong, he reported the situation to Teacher Yin, and he asked Teacher Yin to go to Sun Bingcheng's house on Sunday with Qin Hong, Lu Chaohui and other class cadres to see what the situation was, if he could do his work at home, and let Sun Bingcheng not drop out of school, after all, he was in his third year of high school, and it was a pity to drop out at this time.

Teacher Yin agreed to Ding Hongxing's suggestion and asked several of their class cadres to go to Sun Bingcheng's house on Sunday, which can be regarded as an activity of the study support group, Sun Bingcheng joined the study support group last semester, and can be regarded as a member of the study support group.

September 5th was Sunday, and on this morning, Ding Hongxing, Qin Hong, Lu Chaohui and Du Juncai gathered at the gate of Guicheng Middle School, rode bicycles, and rode to Osmanthus Township.

Ding Hongxing rode with Lu Chaohui, Qin Hong rode a bicycle by himself, and Du Juncai also rode an old car, which he borrowed from other classmates.

Osmanthus Township is in Guicheng City, now it should be called the southwest direction of Laurel District, more than ten kilometers away from the city, this direction is hilly area, the soil slopes along the road are endless, riding a bicycle is still a more difficult mode of transportation, in fact, if Ding Hongxing opens with Wang Chaoyang or Fat Dahai, there are cars to sit, but this time it is a fellow scholar who goes to the countryside, and it is not too public, so he also rode a bicycle.

Halfway through the ride, Ding Hongxing and Du Juncai were still fine, but Qin Hong was a little tired, so he stopped on the road to rest for a while, ate something, drank some water, and then hit the road again.

In this way, they rested three times along the way, and it took more than an hour for a few people to come to Sun Bingcheng and Du Juncai's hometown, Hongguang Village, Osmanthus Township.

Du Juncai took the three of them to Sun Bingcheng's house, which looked very low and dilapidated, with a total of three earthen houses, and straw on the roof, and the walls of the house were also dilapidated, with many cracks, hastily pasted with mud, even if it was repaired.

The exterior walls of the houses are covered with a mixture of cow dung and straw, which is a good fuel for the countryside, and of course, only the very poor still use it.

Du Juncai shouted loudly outside the door: "Bingcheng! ”

An elderly woman came out of the room, she saw that it was Du Juncai, and asked, "It's a military talent, aren't you going to school?" Why did you go back today? ”

Du Juncai said: "Mother-in-law, these are all class cadres in our class, and they saw that Bingcheng didn't go to the school to sign up, so they took advantage of today Sunday to come and see Bingcheng." ”

The old woman pointed to the paddy fields to the west and said, "Bingcheng is working in the fields." ”

Du Juncai turned his head to Ding Hongxing and said, "I'll go over there and get Bingcheng back, you guys sit here for a while." ”

Du Juncai rode to the edge of the paddy field, and the old woman hurriedly took out three bamboo chairs from the house, let Ding Hongxing and the three of them sit down, and poured tea for the three of them, Ding Hongxing said: "Grandma, don't be busy, we have brought water ourselves." ”

All three of them did bring kettles, otherwise it would be unbearable for such a long journey, and the weather was still very hot.

The three of them didn't let her pour tea, and the old woman felt embarrassed, so she took out a bamboo basket from the house, which contained a basket of dried sweet potatoes, put it on a chair, and let the three of them eat: "Come, eat some dried sweet potatoes, this is our own sun, fragrant." There's nothing to eat in the countryside, I've wronged you. ”

Ding Hongxing thanked the old woman, picked up the dried sweet potatoes and ate them, sure enough, the dried sweet potatoes were fragrant and sweet, and the taste was very good.

Ding Hongxing chatted with the old woman while eating dried sweet potatoes, it turned out that she was Sun Bingcheng's grandmother, and now it was the busy season of farming, and the laborers in the family, including Sun Bingcheng's grandfather and mother, all went to work in the fields, leaving her alone to cook for them at home, waiting for them to come back at noon for lunch, and then go to the fields to work in the afternoon.
