The day after the end of the provincial safety work conference, Qi Tianxiang and Vice Governor Xu Fang appeared in Heyang County and met Feng Juncai, who was as thin as a black-faced Baogong.

As soon as Qi Tianxiang got out of the car, he grabbed Feng Juncai's big hand, and teased Feng Juncai with a smile: "You seem to be darker and thinner than before, are you too tired?" Pay attention to the combination of work and rest! ”

Without waiting for Feng Juncai to reply, Qi Tianxiang turned around and introduced to Xu Fang, who got out of the car later: "This is what I told you in the car, Feng Juncai, secretary of the Heyang County Party Committee, this demeanor, this style, is there still a bit of the county party secretary?" ”

Xu Fang listened to Qi Tianxiang introduce Feng Juncai's situation on the bus, and now he felt a little surprised when he saw it. But without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to hold Feng Juncai's hand, and immediately felt that his palm was separated by a rough and fleshless hand, paused slightly, looked at Feng Juncai and said with a smile: "The secretary of the county party committee deliberately introduced by Qi Tianxiang, the first role model in Hezhou, I was thinking about what it would be like along the way, and now when I see it, it is really extraordinary, not to mention anything else, just this lean black and thin appearance, this calloused big hand, is a qualified county party secretary." ”

Xu Fang's awkward southern accent, although he spoke slowly, still sounded difficult to understand, but it still caused a round of applause and good-natured laughter.

Qi Tianxiang echoed Xu Fang's words and smiled implicitly, but his eyes never left Feng Juncai's face. Feng Juncai in front of him is completely different from what he saw at the Hezhou Model Commendation Conference last year, with a dark face, a skinny appearance, especially a slightly sunken eye socket, all of which are alive and well from the image of an old rural farmer, the only difference is the resolute and resolute demeanor on his face, as well as the sparse back, showing the shrewdness and wisdom of an officialdom that is difficult to hide.

"It doesn't matter if the old farmer is not the old farmer, the important thing is that such an image is practical, and you can't find it if you stick to the pile, and it's easier to get along with the grassroots." Feng Juncai smiled humbly, shook hands with Zhou Tong, Secretary General of the General Office of the Provincial Government, Lu Shanzun, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Wang Tao, Mayor and others, laughed self-deprecatingly, and then turned to Qi Tianxiang and said seriously: "Since last winter, Heyang County has suffered from a winter drought that has not been encountered for many years, and there has not been a single snow in one winter. Not a drop of rain has fallen since the beginning of spring, and if the winter wheat is not watered, this year's wheat harvest will be gone. Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I went to the agricultural area to supervise the digging of wells and the diversion of water for irrigation. Not only me, but also the leaders of the county party committee and the county government, as well as the leaders of all the townships and towns in the county, are busy on the front line! ”

Feng Juncai reported the recent situation one by one, and when he saw Qi Tianxiang's increasingly grim expression, he smiled slightly and said: "After such a month of busy work, the main wheat producing areas have been watered with green water, and some places started relatively late, and the yield will have some impact, if there is no major natural disaster in the later period, this year's wheat yield is still guaranteed." ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Feng Juncai's hurried explanation, and his heart calmed down, and then said to Feng Juncai with a smile: "Are all the county leaders as dark as you?" Our beautiful county magistrate is also like you? Doesn't that make our Director Qiao feel distressed to death? ”

"Don't look for it, here it is!" Before Qi Tianxiang's words fell, Yao Ling took over the conversation, flashed out from behind Feng Juncai, looked at Qi Tianxiang, and seemed to complain to Feng Juncai with dissatisfaction: "Although Secretary Feng is thin, he is so tall that I can't even see the leaders." ”

Yao Ling spoke, glanced at Feng Juncai playfully, and said sharply: "It's not all like this to work in the field, there is no sunscreen, there is always a straw hat, but I didn't wear it for a few minutes, it was either given to this farmer, or it was transferred to a female comrade, and a few straw hats were not allowed to be given away one day." ”

Yao Ling's naughty words, although harsh, contained deep concern and distress, and Feng Juncai did not have a temper at all, which immediately caused a slight burst of laughter.

Qi Tianxiang looked at Yao Ling, and then at Feng Juncai, who was astringent, and said with a smile: "Okay! Our beautiful county magistrate is not only beautiful, but also beautiful, knowing that it is not easy to care about comrades, it is really not easy. ”

Qi Tianxiang's praise made Yao Ling's face immediately red, and Qi Tianxiang didn't wait for her to react, so he introduced Xu Fang with a side face: "Come and meet our beautiful county magistrate of Heyang County, and see if there is still the delicate demeanor of the former deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee?" ”

Under Qi Tianxiang's introduction, Xu Fang stretched out his hand and shook Yao Ling's hand politely, and said to Yao Ling with a smile: "The beautiful county magistrate that Governor Qi fancies, of course, lives up to her name, and at this sight, how can you not see the shadow of the original cadre of the Beijing Office and the young female tycoon later, but an energetic, pragmatic and capable grassroots female cadre." ”

"Vice Governor Xu is really joking, what kind of general, what kind of rich woman, that's all a shadowless thing, I just do what I have to do, who knows how it will be like this." Yao Ling said with a little grievance, smiled at Qi Tianxiang and said: "Comrade Governor, I have an opinion on you, you can't use the title on the Internet to describe your grassroots cadres, especially female cadres, such a title will not only cause unnecessary trouble, but also have a negative impact on our work." ”

Qi Tianxiang was choked by Yao Ling's true and false words for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, he looked around at the people around him with a slight smile, and said self-deprecatingly: "Don't say it, County Magistrate Xiaoyao's words are really to the point, I really ignore the social reflection and Comrade Xiaoyao's feelings." The opinion of the county magistrate Xiao Yao was very good, and I humbly accepted it, and sincerely apologized to the county magistrate Yao. This kind of title is stopped, there can be no more, and it can't appear again, which is also a discipline! ”

Qi Tianxiang's sincere words and attitude made Yao Ling a little overwhelmed, and her face turned even redder, and after thinking for a while, she didn't find a response, so she could only look at Feng Juncai and quip: "So many leaders come to our Heyang, let's not let the leaders just stand on the side of the road and listen to the report!" ”

Yao Ling's words instantly woke up Feng Juncai, and hurriedly smiled and said to Qi Tianxiang and the others: "I'm really sorry, I listened to the leaders praise County Magistrate Yao, and I almost forgot about business." On behalf of the county party committee and the county government, I and the county magistrate Yao will make a brief report, so that the leaders can have a general understanding of the agricultural situation in Heyang County. And then determine the inspection itinerary, please see if this is good? ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded, looked at Xu Fang, asked for his opinion, saw Xu Fang looking back with a knowing look, knowing that he had no opinions, he looked at Lu Shanzun and Wang Tao behind him, as well as Zhao Jianzhong, director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and others, and said slowly: "You guys will first follow Secretary Feng and County Magistrate Yao to the conference room to rest and drink saliva, and Comrade Xu Fang and I will go around the courtyard and let him know about the county yamen in Heyang County on the spot." ”

"I'll accompany Governor Qi and Vice Governor Xu to take a look in the courtyard!" Feng Juncai looked at Qi Tianxiang and asked for his opinion, seeing that Qi Tianxiang had no intention of objecting, he turned his face to Yao Ling and said, "You take the leaders to the conference room to rest first, and you must be entertained!" ”

After Feng Juncai finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Qi Tianxiang, and saw Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang walking slowly, walking a few steps and walking towards the depths of the courtyard.

Qi Tianxiang seemed to be familiar with Xu Fang to lead the way, and after walking out of the parking place, he stood in front of the three-story small red building, pointed to the building and introduced Xu Fang: "This three-story red brick building is the office building of the Heyang County Party Committee and the county government, and it is estimated that it will be forty or fifty years old!" It's still functioning, and it's really durable! ”

"Yes! The office buildings of such county-level organs are not only in Hezhou City, the provincial capital city, but also in the whole province! Xu Fang followed Qi Tianxiang's guidance, carefully looked at the red brick building in front of him, and said with emotion: "The old and the new are sometimes only relative, and the meaning of perseverance is often not only perseverance, but also respect and inheritance of tradition, which is commendable." ”

"Vice Governor Xu's evaluation is so good, it is completely similar to what Governor Qi said when he came last year, it is really the same as what a hero sees!" Feng Juncai looked at Xu Fang with emotion and admiration, looking at the curious look projected by Xu Fang, he slowly repeated what Qi Tianxiang had said at the beginning, "Governor Qi said this, perseverance is not only a kind of perseverance, but also a virtue, not all new is beautiful, traditions and memories are sometimes like old wine, which lasts for a long time." ”

Qi Tianxiang was very surprised by Feng Juncai's amazing memory, glanced at Feng Juncai deeply, and said to Xu Fang with a slight smile: "Don't be deceived by this kind of appearance, especially the stereotype pointed by the appearance, if it is not intentional, there must be hidden secrets and mysteries." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, signaled Xu Fang to continue walking, slowly passing through the corridor of the office building, behind the building is three rows of blue brick houses, the yard is very large, very empty, the poplar trees planted in the ring building are tall and straight, and the green shade is dense, making the whole yard quiet and peaceful.

"The small bungalow in front of me is the hub of the county party committee and the county government, although the neatly arranged bungalows look old, but the square layout looks very comfortable, and you can also see that such a building layout brought people physical and mental pleasure and pride when it was prosperous." Qi Tianxiang walked slowly, and said to Xu Fang with emotion: "In addition to economic reasons, another major factor for such a bungalow courtyard to survive is sobriety, as well as clear development ideas adapted to local conditions, which is why I want you to see it." ”

"This is rare, can clearly recognize their own advantages and shortcomings, can clearly judge and make decisions, such a yard itself is a way of development, worthy of affirmation." After a short period of surprise, Xu Fang gradually regained his composure, and then Qi Tianxiang said with a smile: "Not blind, not impulsive, this is the fundamental requirement of agricultural development. It can also be seen from this that the Heyang County Party Committee and the county government are still very clear. ”

Hearing Xu Fang say this, Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, and knew that his goal had been achieved. Let Xu Fang see this, just to give him a preliminary impression and give himself a calm mood. The goal was achieved, and after a moment of observation, Qi Tianxiang and Xu Fang walked up to the office building with Feng Juncai and walked into the conference room on the second floor.
