Xiao Chen walked to the house of the five guarantee households, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. The four walls of the house are certain, and a few old pieces of furniture are estimated to have been eliminated in other people's homes, and the poor old woman sent them to her for use. The quilt is quite new, but behind the quilt outside, Xiao Chen also saw a thin and black old quilt, and he was silent in his heart, this new quilt should be one of the materials donated by the district committee before, although it is actually eliminated by comrades in government agencies, but it is the same as new when placed here.

Xiao Chen is particularly unsuitable for the ground, the ground of the old woman's house of the five guarantee households is completely uneven, not a cement floor at all, but the ground surface, and it has not been pressed, it is all uneven, and it is extremely uncomfortable to walk on it.

As soon as Xiao Chen entered the house, the old man moved a stool over, put it to the side, and beckoned, "Little brother...... Oh, little secretary, sit down. ”

A group of cadres who followed Xiao Chen looked at the stool, and couldn't wait to lie there and let Secretary Xiao be a stool, this stool is black and a layer of dirt and grease, and it is obviously not heavy when it is put down, but it is still "creaking", looking horizontally and vertically, it is a high-risk product, in case Secretary Xiao sits down and the stool collapses, everyone's face will not be able to pass.

Xiao Chen didn't mind at all, sat down with a smile, and then ordered: "Move a stool for the old man." Someone quickly brought a stool for the old woman and asked her to sit down.

Xiao Chen sat a little closer, smiled and said loudly, "Old man, how old are you?" ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Chen smiled again: "I mean, how old are you this year?" ”

"Uh-oh." The old man now understood: "I am sixty-nine years old." ”

Xiao Chen sighed in his heart, he was old like this at the age of sixty-nine, looking at being able to be eighty miles away, or the living conditions were too poor. Then he asked, "How is this year?" It's almost the New Year, are there any New Year's goods? ”

The old woman laughed, as if she was very happy: "It's okay, the village sends rice every month." The New Year's brigade (village) sent three catties of bacon. Xiao Chen was about to speak, but the old woman seemed to think of something, and added: "Oh, the leader of that town also sent something today, five catties of bacon, a preserved fish, and a live chicken." ”

Xiao Chen's face looked a little better, and he asked with a smile: "The party and the political axe are concerned about you lonely and widowed old people, in addition to these given to you in the town and village, some comrades of our district party committee and district political axe organs have also donated some money and materials, and asked me to send them to you." He took out a red envelope, handed it to the old woman and said: "We will move it in for you in a while, here is 500 yuan, although the money is not much, but it represents the love of our party, the political axe and the comrades in the government agencies, I hope you can accept it." ”

When the old man heard that there were five hundred yuan, his hands trembled a little: "Five hundred yuan?" …… Why don't you give it to me quietly...... I don't have a place to hide here. ”

The smile on Xiao Chen's face froze for a moment, daring to love five hundred yuan was already a huge amount of money in the eyes of this old man, and he had to hide it carefully, and he couldn't let others know about it.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, no one will dare to beat you with this money." Xiao Chen can only say this.

When the old woman heard this, she was relieved and hurriedly put it away. Xiao Chen smiled again and asked, "It's the New Year, is there enough food for your family?" He found that he was at a loss for words.

The old woman was a little happy: "Enough, enough, it's enough for the New Year." The team (Murakami) said that the leaders are coming for the New Year, and they will definitely send things...... Little brother (local dialect, same: little brother), you are the leader, right? ”

Xiao Chen's mood today is as uneven as the ground in the old woman's house, a little relieved for a while, and heavy for a while. Listening to the words of this old man, I know that her "enough" is only enough when the leaders go to the countryside every year, and it is difficult to say at other times.

The surrounding cadres were also a little speechless, more or less touched, but a few cadres who were responsible for arranging today's itinerary were a little panicked, this old woman was talking delirious, it seems that the leader will not be able to arrange for her next year. Thinking like this, his complexion deteriorated.

Xiao Chen could only smile at the old man wordlessly, then he turned his head, stood up, sighed to the cadres around him, and said, "Comrades, I remember that in the "Book of Rites and Rites", it was said that 'the old man does not have only his own relatives, nor does he have only his son. So that the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, widows, lonely and sick people have all been raised'. Confucian social ethics all require people to 'not have only one parent, not only one son'. When they are young, the society provides conditions to play their role, so that the young minor children can grow up under the care of the society, and the widows, lonely and the elderly, and those with diseases and disabilities can all be supported. This is just an ancient social ideal, but it is also people's requirement for social morality, and it is the proposition of Confucian social ethics. ”

His voice started to get a little louder from here: "And what about us? We are [***], socialism, although we are still in the initial stage, but shouldn't we let these helpless old people have something to support in their old age? They should not be helpless, the party and the political axe should be their reliance! …… I want to ask, how many such old people are there in the town? Is it possible to consider building a nursing home to concentrate the power of the political axe and society to make their old age better? ”

Everyone didn't know whether Xiao Chen's words were true, or just said so in passing, anyway, Secretary Xiao spoke, and everyone applauded and welcomed and said, "Secretary Xiao is right" and "Secretary Xiao's instructions will be followed".

Hu Cheng applauded and said: "Secretary Xiao's instructions are very timely, originally I also thought that for these five old people, the political axe should give some positive help, but as soon as there are many things, it will be delayed." Fortunately today, Secretary Xiao is here, so there is such a good policy, and our town party committee fully supports the town government axe to run this nursing home! ”

As soon as Hu Cheng said this, Liu Jiang seemed to have swallowed a fly. It's okay to shoot a sycophant, everyone has to shoot anyway, but if you shoot a sycophant, as long as you "fully support", it's our town government axe to run a nursing home? Okay, but who will pay for it? Are you Secretary Hu or Secretary Xiao? Count on the town...... I'm also a mayor of the town, and I still have a broken bread, so why don't I have to buy a new car first?

Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, Secretary Xiao gave instructions, Secretary Hu agreed and expressed his full support, if he objected at this time, it was purely because he didn't want to be the mayor of the town, so he could only smile and applaud: "Since Secretary Xiao and Secretary Hu both support, there is no reason for the town government axe to disagree, but this funding problem ......."

"For the funding problem, the district will allocate a part of it to you, and the town government axe will bear a part of it itself." Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Okay, as long as the district supports it, our grassland town will naturally be unambiguous." Liu Jiang knew that since Xiao Chen had said that the district would allocate funds, then even if this matter was decided, it was useless to say anything else, so it was better to agree quickly.

Xiao Chen saw that the matter was almost the same here, so he turned his head to the old woman and said, "Old man, I still have to visit the homes of other five-guarantee households, so I will leave today, you take care of yourself." ”

The old woman stood up and said with some surprise: "Little secretary, are you leaving?" I stewed that chicken, eat the chicken and then go! She hurriedly pulled Xiao Chen to the next room to see the chicken she was already stewing.

Xiao Chen was not hungry first, and when he came to see the black tin pot, where was there still an appetite, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, but I'm really short of time, I won't eat this chicken, you eat it yourself, and take care of your body." ”

When the old woman heard Xiao Chen say that she didn't eat, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Oh, that's good, that's good, little secretary, you go slowly." ”

Xiao Chen felt a little strange in her heart, why was she relieved when she heard that I didn't eat it, could it be that she didn't plan to let me eat it in the first place? Until he came out, he was still wondering, this old woman was really weird.

He didn't know that as soon as he went out with his front feet, the old woman said to herself in the house: "What a waste, I knew you wouldn't eat it, so I kept it for the New Year...... Those who are officials are also disgusted, and the little secretary of the family doesn't eat it at all, so you have to tell me to stew today, just waste a chicken......"

If Xiao Chen heard this, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.

When I came out of this house, I visited a five-guarantee household in Fenglin Village next to it, and a group of people completed the task, and when they returned to the national highway, many people even had their feet blistered by the new rain boots. This is not a strange thing, after all, where do these cadres usually need to wear rain boots?

Xiao Chen is a little strange, he hasn't had much time to exercise since he graduated, and he is really strange that he is not tired at all after walking such a long way today. He changed back into his leather shoes, saw Xu Fei coming over, beckoned her into the car, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything wrong, right?" If you do, you'll have to be merciful. ”

Xu Fei sneered: "Secretary Xiao is so talented, Confucius's "Book of Rites" remembers it, where would he say the wrong thing." ”

Xiao Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I just remember a few sentences, can you still recite them?" I'm not like you, I'm a top student in the Chinese department. Then his eyes looked through the car window at the endless camellia forest.

Xu Fei smiled, didn't continue, paused, but asked, "Secretary Xiao, I see that you are very interested in the camellia trees here?" ”

Xiao Chen glanced at her with some surprise and smiled: "When I see cash crops, I get used to my profession, and I always feel that such a good camellia forest, just picking and squeezing oil at will, is a bit of a waste of resources...... What does this do, you ask? ”

Xu Fei's eyes blinked: "The leader's thoughts, I naturally want to figure it out." Without a keen eye, how can you deal with things like journalism? Although they only sat in the same car once and walked together for a while, Xu Fei seemed to have felt that Xiao Chen was a leader who was not difficult to approach, so he spoke a lot more casually, and there seemed to be some girlish coquettishness in it.

Xiao Chen really didn't mind, just smiled, but didn't answer, but began to think about the use of these camellia trees in his heart.
