The two hurriedly stood up, and Wu Xiaojun said with a smile on his face, "Hello Secretary Zhang, my name is Wu Xiaojun, this is Bai Lingyan, and we are students of Pingxi Medical College." ”

Secretary Zhang walked up to Wu Xiaojun with a "hmm", and Wu Xiaojun felt that he was sitting in his chair, so he withdrew and let the chair out. Secretary Zhang sat down unceremoniously, looked up at Wu Xiaojun, and said with a stern expression, "What do you mean, and then go down." ”

Wu Xiaojun said worriedly, "Entrusted by the Youth League and County Party Committee, more than 100 students of our school will conduct household visits and surveys on more than 1,500 school-age children in the county who have been rescued by the Hope Project, and Bai Lingyan and I are responsible for visiting 51 children in your town. There is a text from the Youth League and County Committee here, please take a look. As he spoke, he took out a copy of the text from his bag and put it in front of Secretary Zhang.

Secretary Zhang slowly picked up the text, flipped it back and forth casually, and asked, "How do you arrange your food and accommodation?" ”

Wu Xiaojun, "Before coming, at the work mobilization and deployment meeting of the Youth League and County Committee, Zhao Chirui, secretary of the Youth League and County Committee, said that food and accommodation would be arranged by the town. ”

Secretary Zhang was silent for a while, put down the text in his hand, and said embarrassedly, "Oh, it's not easy to do, we've been very busy here recently, and there is no special guest house in the town." That's right, we can arrange the accommodation, but you can take care of the meal yourself. ”

The two of them felt like a blow to the head, and the enthusiasm when they came suddenly disappeared, and their hearts were half cold all of a sudden, and they were speechless for a while, and hesitated for a while. The heart said that how did the above policy completely change here, change the way to cut corners, and have the heart to go back immediately, but then I thought about it, absolutely not, let them be unkind and not allow us to be unjust, we must not let them look down on them, we must not embarrass Pingxi Medical College, nor can we lose this opportunity to exercise ourselves, but also to see what is the difference between the people and their small official, I don't believe that the crows here are all the same black.

Wu Xiaojun glanced at Bai Lingyan and turned to the outdoor corridor, and said in a dull mood, "It seems that this Secretary Zhang is disdainful of our coming, and his reaction is very cold, and he can't talk about enthusiasm and cooperation at all. ”

Bai Lingyan said angrily, "It's really bad, we are not doing private affairs, this is office affairs, it's so difficult, but imagine how difficult it would be for ordinary people to come to do a private matter." But on the other hand, how can people not bow their heads under the low eaves, and if they come, they will be at ease, so let them be. ”

The two of them made up their minds and returned to the room, and Wu Xiaojun said directly, "Secretary Zhang, since this is the case, we have nothing to say, just do what you say, thank you so much, I have caused you a lot of trouble." We will do our best to visit and investigate the rescued children and try to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Secretary Zhang didn't even look at the two of them, lazily picked up the phone, pressed the button, and soon the phone was connected, "Hey, hey, hey, the front desk of Xinhua Building, I'm Zhang Xiaowei, secretary of the Party Office of the town government, arrange a room for me to stay, and two young people will pass by in a while." Before the other party could finish speaking, he snapped and put the phone down. Then he said, "You two go to Xinhua Building, I have already made arrangements, turn right out of the town government, walk to the People's Commune Bridge and see it to the south, hurry up." ”

Wu Xiaojun hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Secretary Zhang, I have one more thing I want to trouble you." ”

Secretary Zhang's eyes widened, and he stared at Wu Xiaojun with anger and asked, "What else do you have to do, hurry up, I still have something to go out." ”

Wu Xiaojun forced a smile and said, "Secretary Zhang, may I ask if Secretary Xuefen of the Youth League Town Committee is not there?" We need to ask her part of the situation of the fifty-one children. ”

Secretary Zhang said angrily, "She has been sick for the past two days and has not gone to work, so I will call her later and ask her to provide it to you." ”

Wu Xiaojun said, "Thank you, then trouble Secretary Zhang." Saying that, he picked up Bai Lingyan's luggage and walked out of the town government weakly.

The town is not big, most of them are old and low old buildings built of stone, antique, "agriculture Dazhai, industrial Daqing", "people's commune is good", "no investigation, no right to speak", "unity and tension, strict and lively" and other slogans of the sixties and seventies can still be seen, and there are few new buildings like morning stars, only a handful. A narrow bridge connects the two banks of the river, and the "People's Commune Bridge" is particularly eye-catching, allowing it to be seen from a distance. Obviously, the town is located in a mining area, the streets of the town are sparsely lined with trees, the roads are potholed by large coal trucks, there is coal ash and dust everywhere, garbage is everywhere, and the air is quite dirty.

The two soon came to the bridgehead of the People's Commune, and they could see a three-story building with more than a dozen rooms, and the top of the building was high with the three big characters of "Xinhua Building", and they walked straight over. Walking to the front desk registration office and explaining the intention, the waiter looked at the two and asked, "Are you one family, open one room or two?" ”

Wu Xiaojun didn't think much about it and said casually, "Let's have one." Seeing Bai Lingyan's face was red, she just looked up and smiled at the accommodation instructions on the wall without saying a word, and said in her heart How can she be so casual, how can she ask for a room, isn't it a big joke, she suddenly felt nervous, a little inappropriate, and hurriedly changed her words, "No, no, I want two rooms." ”

The waiter opened the registration book, wrote and drawn, then took a bunch of keys from the counter and walked out, saying as he walked, "Come with me, to rooms 305 and 307." "Upstairs, the waiter opened the door, the two went in to see, the room was not big, there was a bed, a table, an electric fan and a basin, although the conditions were simple, but it was also very clean and tidy. Open the curtains, look down through the window, it is a downtown street, calling for buying and selling, pedestrians coming and going, it is very lively, opposite is a big mountain, gray, like a wall standing in front of it, giving people a feeling of imprisonment and depression.

Wu Xiaojun didn't bring anything, so he helped Bai Lingyan put away her luggage in room 305 and tidy up the toiletries inside. After solving the problem of accommodation, there was finally a place to stay, and the two went to a heart disease, which was much more practical, so they washed their faces and cleaned up briefly. It was almost noon, I felt hungry, I came to the street and took a brief turn, bought a few cucumbers and ham sausages, it was already stuffy and sweaty, I didn't dare to stay for a long time, I just found a noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles and went back to the room to rest.

Wu Xiaojun slept for more than three hours, felt much more relaxed all over his body, came to the spirit, knocked on the door and called Bai Lingyan, sat down for a while, the two came directly to the town government, saw that there was no one in the basic education office and the town government office, and knocked on the doors of the other rooms on the second floor, but there was no one, and waited in the corridor next to the stairs for nearly an hour, and no one came.

Wu Xiaojun reluctantly joked, "Today, the Youth League Committee is very hidden, and we are hermits." ”

Bai Lingyan said solemnly, "It seems that today is not good, even if you get the list, you won't have time to go down, just go to the opposite side to climb the mountain, take a walk, and relax your depressed mood." ”

Wu Xiaojun's eyes lit up, and he simply said neatly, "It doesn't matter if she loves or not, go, find your own fun, go climb the mountain, and be quiet." ”
