Yan Li took some green vegetables, put them on Hao Han's plate, and said softly: "Don't pay attention to him, go out with a straight face, and when you come back, you have no positive sex, and I usually joke with my brother's Beibei." [Ran^Text^Library] []”

"It's okay sister, he's a senior brother, he bullied his junior sister like this, how embarrassed he was when he saw it." Hao Han gradually regained his composure, and said to Yan Li with a slight smile: "Slowly find a chance to take revenge!" The so-called gentleman's revenge for ten years is not too late, that is the man with eyebrows, the little woman's revenge is added for another ten years, and it will be clear after twenty years. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll surrender, I'll see you in twenty years, is this still alive?" Qi Tianxiang raised his hands in a form of surrender, his exaggerated movements and timid expressions made Yan Li and Hao Han laugh. After they calmed down, Qi Tianxiang also retracted his witty demeanor, and said to Hao Han: "I'm here to participate in the training class for county and district secretaries!" ”

"yes!" Hao Han replied briskly, and then said dissatisfiedly: "At the end of the year, it is the time when you are busy and dizzy, how can you choose this time to hold a training class?" ”

"Three days, so that nothing will be delayed, it is precisely when it is busy that you grassroots officials need to calm down, retreat, recharge, there is no harm." Qi Tianxiang said indifferently: "What's more, you chief officials are not so busy as you say. ”

"Look at what you said, it's as if we're at the grassroots level, and there's nothing to do every day. If nothing else, let's just say that all kinds of inspections and evaluations at the end of the year, data collation and reporting, work summary and evaluation and acceptance of various departments, especially the protection of farmers' rights and interests, the completion of family planning indicators, the adjustment of education and health conditions, social security and environmental protection work, that one is not a reminder from above, a collection from below, and a high-level department like a marquee, must cooperate well, serve well, any mistake, a year's hard work is in vain, in the face of the hard work of the comrades below, but also have to serve hard, Is it good to have someone from above? However, there are only a few leaders in the county, and it is difficult to deal with the superior leaders of dozens of county-level departments, and to try their best to make all departments in the county and urban areas of the county in the city. ”

As he spoke, Hao Han looked at Yan Li and said with grievances: "In the eyes of outsiders, the work of government agencies is easy and pleasant, a cup of tea in the morning, a newspaper in the morning, a smile at the end of the wine glass at noon, a place to sleep in the afternoon, and then pour the wine in the evening." Or a morning meeting, a noon banquet, an afternoon meeting, and an evening date, as if the government agency was so free. In fact, not to say that it is the leader of the agricultural mouth, or the comprehensive mouth, that is, the leaders of the various sub-offices, which one is not busy during the day and at night, sometimes after drinking with the guests at night, they have to go back to the unit to sort out the information, because there are busy things during the day, and there are endless meetings, how can you not use the time at night? Every day, I am afraid that there will be a safety accident in the industry or department I am in charge of, for fear that a matter will not be handled well, and the accountability will be small, and if I don't do it well, I will lose my official position and be dismissed. In such a state of existence, in the long run, you will either die of overwork or die of drunkenness. ”

"Don't be upset when I say that." Hao Han looked directly into Qi Tianxiang's eyes and said boldly: "You have studied the root causes, as well as the soil and causes of **, but have you noticed the characteristics of corruption at the grassroots level?" As I just mentioned, there are various reasons for why corruption at the grassroots level is frequent and prone to form nest cases, including lax management, poor supervision, low quality of cadres, temptation of interests, and so on, but a reason that cannot be ignored is that grassroots cadres have no sense of security, let alone a reasonable and stable working environment, and they are pressed down and squeezed down, for fear that one day a mistake or work mistake, years of hard work will be in vain, although it will not be dismissed from public office, but the loss of the trust of the leadership and the channel for ascension, is not it more terrible than losing public office? Can the mentality not be unbalanced, can the work not be eager for quick success, and accept it when it is good? ”

Hao Han's barrage of justifications immediately made the atmosphere depressing, and Qi Tianxiang didn't know how to deal with it for a while. These grass-roots rush for quick success, as well as the tendency to get by and get by, is the crux of the grass-roots work either chaotic action, or inaction, I am not undiscovered, nor have I not thought of countermeasures, but because it involves the assessment mechanism and system design, it is not something that can be changed overnight, nor can it be straightened out in the short term.

"After patronizing and talking, it's better to eat more vegetables." Yan Li looked at Hao Han, then at Qi Tianxiang, picked up the cup and proposed, "Let's drink, don't think about unhappy things." ”

Qi Tianxiang picked up the wine glass and touched the glasses with Yan Li and Hao Han respectively, took a sip of wine and said, "It seems that our beautiful secretary has gradually found the feeling of being an official." ”

"That is, I have been in Pingyuan County for more than two years, especially for more than a year, I always feel as if my energy and wisdom are about to be exhausted, and I can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, otherwise I really can't cope with it." Hao Han said with a smile: "Sometimes I really admire Lao Peng's arbitrariness and energy, it seems that nothing can stop him, but it's a pity!" ”

Qi Tianxiang raised his hand to stop Hao Han's topic, and gently encouraged: "Don't be humble, I heard from different sources that our beautiful secretary is pragmatic, low-key, close to the people, and wise, and in a short period of time, the work of Pingyuan County has reached a new level, and the official reputation is good!" ”

"Look at what you said!" Hao Han's face turned red again, looked at Yan Li and said, "I'm embarrassed to let my brother-in-law praise me like this." ”

"It seems that you have gradually found the state of work, and you have slowly entered the state, which is a good thing, which means that you have adapted to the work, and the work has adapted to you. It's just that Li Zheng can't let go of my heart, after all, an idealist, he has encountered too many problems with realism, and many things are inconsistent with his imagination, distress, hesitation, and confusion are indispensable, and you have to help him if you have the opportunity. Sometimes between the ideal and the reality is a thin layer of window paper, which looks hazy and blurry, and when you reach out and click on it, it will be broken, and you will be cheerful. If necessary, you'll have to do it for him. ”

"I see, don't worry!" Hao Han nodded solemnly, turned around and smiled at Yan Li and said: "This is called death to save face and suffer from sin, obviously concerned and concerned, but still reluctant to come forward, just watching from a distance, why bother?" ”

"Isn't it inconvenient for him to say, his current identity, the current situation, is so complicated, it's not good to say too much." Yan Li glanced at Qi Tianxiang lovingly, and in addition to appreciation, her eyes were full of love.

"It's not hard to say, after all, the experimental area is a key deep reform attempt in Qinghe City, they have their own ideas and ideas, and they also have a three-year agreement, so it's better to see more!" Qi Tianxiang thought about it and said, then changed the topic, looked directly at Hao Han, and asked with concern: "What are your plans for yourself, are you going to do it all the time?" ”

"Last time I went to Beijing, I went back to the University of Political Science and Law to see my supervisor, and the college still hoped that I could finish my doctorate on the job." Hao Han said truthfully, a little hesitant and a little contradictory, "I haven't thought about it yet, one is the relationship between time, and the other is that I don't know if it's necessary." ”

"Let's read it, time can still be squeezed out, after all, the opportunity is rare." Yan Li said softly, "Who knows what will happen when you come down, it's better to read it first." ”

"It mainly depends on what you are doing with it, if it's just for that one degree, you don't want to read it." Qi Tianxiang said with a clear attitude, "If it is for the sake of knowledge reserve, in order to meet the requirements of future positions, no matter how tight the time is, I must find time to read." ”

"The contradiction is here, and it is also a problem of inequality." Hao Han did not hide his point of view, and said bluntly: "At the beginning, he was suspended in Pingyuan County, which was just a kind of grassroots experience, and it was the accumulation and reserve of practical experience, but the matter of Lao Peng was crooked, and he was ordered to take over the post of secretary of the county party committee in danger, and it was the formal appointment process, it seems that it is not a temporary transition problem, and there are so many things, and I don't want to return to that sad place." As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he couldn't speak anymore.

"It was I who recommended you, and I didn't shy away from my selfishness in the state at that time, you can blame me, or you can say that I deprived you of the right to pursue happiness, but someone has to do something, and someone has to take responsibility." Qi Tianxiang didn't seem to want to mention those past events too much, and he was also feeling a faint pain in his heart.

"No, it's not like this, you misunderstood what I meant, how can I complain about you, how can I be!" Hao Han raised his voice aggrievedly, looked at Yan Li and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at Senior Brother, why are you so sensitive, I am grateful that he is too late, how can I blame him." Speaking in a faint tone, he seemed to be talking to himself: "The two eldest brothers, they are my benefactors, one sent me on the road, and the other helped me on a ride, where did I Hao Han get such a great blessing, how did I meet so many kind-hearted people." As he spoke, tears slowly slid down his cheeks, leaving thin marks on his pink cheeks like a stream.

"Okay, how did you think of so much?" Yan Li took out a tissue from the dining table and handed it to Hao Han, blaming him, "Such a big person, he still can't cry at every turn, he is not ashamed." ”

Hao Han took the tissue, quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and felt a little out of shape, and immediately resumed his hippie smile with a smile, "In my sister and brother-in-law's house, there are no outsiders, what are you ashamed of." As he spoke, he remembered the meaning of his inner man, and couldn't help blushing again.

"This is back to the question of the choice between being an official and being a scholar, and such a question has puzzled me for a long time." Qi Tianxiang calmed down, tried his best to return to normalcy, and said calmly: "In today's society, there is no need for too many experts and scholars, especially those who are well-known, and just need some hot-blooded young people who dedicate their talents to the public interest, even if they are just village officials, even if they do a little practical thing for the people, they are better than the so-called elites who stand on the dry shore and judge their heads." Many years ago, it was the true insight of this country and the nation, and no matter how many and complex this social problem is, someone must devote themselves to it to change and improve. ”

"It's still my brother-in-law standing at a high height, and it's hard for my generation to look forward to it." Hao Han stood up as he spoke, walked to the sofa in the living room, picked up his satchel, took out a thick stack of paper and walked back, "Just write a preface to what you just said." ”

"This pit is deep enough." Qi Tianxiang took the thick paper, turned his face to look at Yan Li and said with a smile: "I said that this girl came unusually today, so she was waiting for me here!" ”

"Don't be so stingy, I'm not prepared to use your preface as a pretext to publish a book." Hao Han looked at Qi Tianxiang and said as if demonstrating: "The university press has agreed to publish this book, but I just want you to check it and give your opinions." ”

"Whether it's making a circle or digging a pit, I'm willing to jump into this pit." Qi Tianxiang had already seen the title of the book on the cover of the manuscript "A Brief Discussion on Grassroots Political and Legal Work in the New Era", as well as the signatures of "Tan Pingshan and Hao Han", a hot current surged in his heart, and he also had a strong shock, his expression immediately became solemn, and he said solemnly: "You are a good girl with a heart, I can do something for my eldest brother like you, I am willing." ”

"I'm also doing my best, and it's a pity that he hasn't summarized the experience he has gained through practice over the years." Hao Han seemed to return to his memories and said affectionately: "All I can do is to classify and sort out his speeches, reports, and experiences in the past few years, fortunately, I can finally rank his name together, which can be regarded as a harvest!" ”

"A veteran of the Southern War, who has been in the border of northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, transferred to the local area to conscientiously start as a primary school student, do business management, do urban management, and do political and legal work, all the way is thinking and exploring, who said that such practice and the theory derived from the effort is worthless, who can say that such a guiding research is meaningless?" Qi Tianxiang was excited again, and said in a somewhat high-pitched voice: "Put the manuscript here first, I'll take a good look at it, and I'll give you a satisfactory preface." ”

"Then thank you, senior brother." Hao Han exaggeratedly clasped his hands into fists and saluted, squeezing his eyebrows and smiling mischievously, "Sister-in-law is polite." ”

"What is this called? It's a mess. Yan Li counted with a straight face, smiled and said to Qi Tianxiang: "This is like the leader of the county-level party committee of hundreds of thousands of people!" ”

"What should the county party secretary look like? Is there a standard? Hao Han continued to be poor, turned around and walked to the sofa to pick up the satchel, and said goodbye casually: "Let's go, it won't affect your immortal couple." ”

Sending Hao Han away, Qi Tianxiang helped Yan Li clean up the cups, plates and dishes, and was about to cook and wash them himself, but Yan Li resolutely pushed him back into the living room. On weekdays, he didn't let Qi Tianxiang go into the kitchen to wash, not to mention that he had just come back from a business trip for a few days, Yan Li was reluctant.

After washing, Qi Tianxiang solemnly took out the beautifully packaged gift, saw the brooch that he had loved for a long time, and listened to Qi Tianxiang's happy birthday wishes, Yan Li's surprise and joy exceeded ever. The face was also covered with a girlish shy crimson, and at that moment it was like returning to the era of love, back to that simple and romantic beautiful time.

Maybe it's the effect of alcohol, maybe it's the surprise of birthdays and gifts, maybe there's a little other missing, which night's passion lasted for a long time, and it really achieved the thrill of the fairy couple soaring.

It was destined to be a happy night.
