Walking on the road, Deng Xuanfa said to Lin Ping: "Commissioner Lin, don't be angry, then Zhu Guofu is not a good bird; I don't know how he became the deputy secretary, it's really not a thing. Deng Xuanfa scolded a foul word.

Lin Ping sighed and said, "It's difficult for this Wulong Township to develop!" Don't you see? That Wu Youde is a smiling tiger, every time he studies something, he sings and harmonizes with Wu Tianxi and Wu Tao; He Anqing is a soft egg again, and he didn't dare to say a word when he saw Wu Youde; I see that this Wulong Township can't stay anymore, so I have written an application to the county and am ready to transfer back; Transferring back is to be a clerk, and it is comfortable to clean the office. ”

Deng Xuanfa said with emotion: "Commissioner Lin, you can still be transferred back, cadres like me, who were born and raised in Wulong Township, can't go; watched them do nothing all day long, only knowing that they did everything possible to force the peasants to pay the money, and after the money was collected, they squandered it indiscriminately; It hurts to look at me! ”

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the door of Deng Xuanfa's house, and saw that the door of the living room was open, the lights were on, and Zhang Peiling and the two children were accompanying Yue Haohan, watching the TV program playing on the 12-inch black-and-white TV.

Zhang Peiling saw Deng Xuanfa and Lin Ping walk into the living room and asked, "Have you finished the meeting?" Deng Xuanfa said: "Well, after the opening, you pour a cup of tea for Commissioner Lin." ”

Lin Ping sat on the sofa and said, "Sister-in-law, just pour me a cup of boiling water, I can't sleep when I drink tea at night." After speaking, Lin Ping said to Yue Haohan: "Xiao Yue, today's party committee has arranged you to the Heiyazi management area; At the meeting, Township Chief Deng and I proposed to keep you in the organization office, but it was not approved. ”

Yue Haohan said: "Commissioner Lin, thank you for your concern!" Deng Xuanfa took over the conversation and said: "Vast, I thought about it, there are advantages to the management area in the management area, although the conditions are a little harder, but it is clean, and it is better to stay away from the place of right and wrong." ”

Yue Haohan said: "Okay, just go to the management area, and you can better contact the masses when you go below; In this organ, on the contrary, it is impossible to understand the real thoughts of the common people; I think no matter where you are, as long as you can do something good for the people, it doesn't matter if the conditions are difficult; Uncle Deng, Commissioner Lin, don't take it to heart that I didn't stay in the organization to do this. ”

Lin Ping looked at Yue Haohan with an appreciative eye, and said, "Xiao Yue, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it's really not bad for you to go to the Heiyazi management area, at least the working environment should be better; Before Township Chief Deng arrived in the township, he was the secretary of the general branch of the Heiyazi Management Area, and after Township Chief Deng came to the township, Zhu Changyou took over, and now Township Chief Deng is in charge of the Heiyazi Management Area, and after you get there, the relative resistance in the work is smaller. ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and when they saw that the time was not early, Lin Ping got up and said goodbye to leave; Deng Xuanfa sent Lin Ping out. After Lin Ping left, Zhang Peiling cleaned up the bed where Yue Haohan rested at noon, took a floor fan and put it in the room, and said to Yue Haohan: "Haohan, it's a little stuffy today, you turn on the fan at night." Yue Haohan said: "Thank you, auntie, for disturbing you today." ”

Zhang Peiling said: "Whatever you say, you are not an outsider, you treat this place as your home; Tomorrow I will go to Heiyazi, see what is missing, and bring back a letter; I'll ask your Uncle Deng to bring it to you. ”

As he spoke, Deng Xuanfa came in and said, "Haohan, you take a shower and rest early; Tomorrow after breakfast, I will send you to the Heiyazi management area. ”

After breakfast the next day, Yue Haohan accompanied Deng Xuanfa to Deng Xuanfa's office and brought his travel bag; When I arrived at the government compound, I saw that Zhang Peiling found a mosquito net from home again, sent it to the government compound, put it in Yue Haohan's travel bag, and said: "Haohan, bring the mosquito net, there are many mosquitoes at night in the place of Heiyazi." ”

Yue Haohan looked at Zhang Peiling apologetically and said, "Thank you, auntie." Zhang Peiling said: "Remember, when you arrive, let's see what is still missing, tell your uncle, next time he goes to bring it to you." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhu, the driver of the township government, drove the only 212 jeep in the township and stopped where Yue Haohan and Deng Xuanfa were standing, and did not get out of the car to help.

The driver's name is Zhu Xiaoshan, the son of the deputy secretary Zhu Guofu's eldest brother, twenty-five or sixteen years old, black and thin; In this township, in addition to selling the accounts of secretary Wu Youde and deputy secretary Zhu Guofu, he only listens to the words of Wu Tao, director of the party and government office; He didn't even sell the account of the township chief He Anqing.

Deng Xuanfa opened the door of the passenger seat of the jeep, turned his head to Yue Haohan, and said, "Haohan, put the travel bag directly on the seat, no one else, you sit in the back, let's go." After speaking, he boarded the car and sat in the passenger seat, with a cold face, and did not greet the driver Zhu Xiaoshan.

Yue Haohan opened the door behind the jeep, put the travel bag on the seat, and then jumped into the car, pushed the travel bag to the side, and sat down.

Zhu Xiaoshan sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and did not start the car, and the three of them sat in the car in silence without speaking.

In the end, it was Deng Xuanfa who broke the silence and said, "Xiao Zhu, let's go!" What are you still doing here? Seeing Deng Xuanfa urging, Zhu Xiaoshan came to the sentence in a strange way: "Township Chief Deng, what are you anxious about; My uncle hasn't come out yet, he will have something to do with my second uncle, and he will also go to Heiyazi Village. After speaking, he said again: "It's not that my uncle has something to do in Heiyazi Village today, so I don't want to run to that ghost place, the road conditions are so bad." ”

Yue Haohan, who was sitting in the back, listened to Zhu Xiaoshan's words, and said in his heart: "Why did the township government use such an unqualified driver, it is estimated that it is a dog fighting people." ”

Just when Yue Haohan was thinking about Zhu Xiaoshan's behavior, he saw two black Santana sedans in front of him and one behind him, and drove into the township government compound.

Zhu Xiaoshan stretched out his head, looked at it, and said, "Obediently, which leader came to the township to inspect today; There are two Santanas, and when we change Santana in our township, it's enjoyable. ”

Deng Xuanfa and Yue Haohan ignored Zhu Xiaoshan. Yue Haohan was in the back, looking through the window at the Santana car that had just stopped, and saw six or seven people coming down from the two cars, among which Huang Guicai, the deputy director of the office of the organization department he had seen, was also among them; There was also a young man about his own age standing next to the car.

At this time, I saw Wu Youde walking in front with a smile on his face, followed by Zhu Guofu, Wu Tianxi, Ma Guohua, and Wu Tao, who were also smiling, walking quickly to the Santana car, and greeted everyone who had just gotten off the car.

When Yue Haohan was watching in the direction of the Santana car, a man in his forties approached the jeep and said to Zhu Xiaoshan: "Xiaoshan, let's go." As he spoke, the man opened the back door of the jeep, and was just about to board the car, when he saw Yue Haohan's travel bag on the seat, he paused; Zhu Xiaoshan turned his head to look at it, with a cold face, and said to Yue Haohan: "Hey, hey, hey, do you know the rules, it's a sitting person, not a place to put things." ”

Deng Xuanfa really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart; On the dashboard in front of the jeep, he clapped his hands and said, "Zhu Xiaoshan, what do you mean!" This car belongs to yours? ”

The man in his forties, seeing that Deng Xuan had lost his temper, hurriedly boarded the car, gently pushed Yue Haohan's luggage down, and then sat down, and said, "Township Chief Deng, I'm sorry, the back is spacious and you can sit down." ”

After seeing the man get into the car, Zhu Xiaoshan started the car, slammed the accelerator, and the car quickly left the township government compound and drove in the direction of the Heiyazi management area.

The Heiyazi management area is about 20 kilometers away from the seat of the township government; The road leading to the Heiyazi Management Area is more than four meters wide and paved with gravel dirt roads.

After coming out of the township government, the car walked five or six kilometers and began to walk on a winding mountain road; The road is very steep, and after the car reaches the top of the mountain, there is a large open field in front of it; The hillside is full of tea trees, and the valleys are scattered with the inhabitants of earthen houses; Occasionally, there is one house, a red brick house, which looks very eye-catching.

After about an hour's drive, the car stopped in front of a courtyard with more than a dozen rooms in a blue brick building; Deng Xuanfa, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to Yue Haohan and said, "Haohan, the Heiyazi management area has arrived." With that, he jumped out of the jeep.

Yue Haohan picked up his travel bag, opened the door and got out of the car; After seeing Deng Xuanfa and Yue Haohan get out of the car, Zhu Xiaoshan said to Deng Xuanfa: "Township Chief Deng, I will send my uncle, not far ahead, I will turn around in a while." Deng Xuanfa ignored Zhu Xiaoshan; After Zhu Xiaoshan finished speaking, he added the accelerator of the car, and drove towards the front again.

Yue Haohan followed Deng Xuanfa into the courtyard, and saw a man about fifty years old, who greeted him with a smile from an office inside; Deng Xuanfa looked at the man who came over and asked, "Old Zhu, are you alone in the management area today?" After asking, he turned his head to introduce Yue Haohan and said, "Haohan, this is Zhu Changyou, Secretary Zhu of the management area." ”

Yue Haohan looked at Zhu Changyou with a smile and said, "Secretary Zhu is good!" Zhu Changyou hurriedly took the travel bag that Yue Haohan was carrying, and kept saying, "Good, good, good!" Go inside and sit. ”

The three of them went into the courtyard and sat down in the back row of houses, in the office in the middle room; Deng Xuanfa introduced Yue Haohan to Zhu Changyou and said: "Secretary Zhu, this is Comrade Yue Haohan, who was selected and transferred by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee; The highly talented students of Jianghan University will be arranged to exercise in your management area, and you will have to take care of them in the future. ”

Zhu Changyou smiled and said: "Good thing, good thing, welcome, welcome!" We just need young people; Look at a few of our old guys in this management area, busy and dizzy every day. ”

Deng Xuanfa said: "Secretary Zhu, this is vast, cultured, and has a lively brain; You are a party member in school, and you will work together more in the future, and if he has something to do not do well, you can just tell me directly. ”

Zhu Changyou smiled and said, "Township Chief Deng, don't worry, you must follow your instructions; You sit down for a while, and I'll arrange the noon life. ”

Deng Xuanfa said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to explain; You first arrange the location of the vast accommodation, and in addition, you find someone to inform the branch secretaries of the next few villages, and come to the management area for a meeting at half past two in the afternoon, I have a few things to arrange; Also, it is the completion of the taxes and fees in your management area, whether the statistics have come out, bring the statistics to me to see. ”

After Deng Xuanfa made the arrangement, Zhu Changyou went out to implement it. Deng Xuanfa sat in the office and introduced the basic situation of the Heiyazi Management Area to Yue Haohan: "The Heiyazi Management Area is the largest and most populous management area in Wulong Township, with five administrative villages under its jurisdiction and a population of more than 8,000. The five administrative villages are: Heiyazi Village, Dengjiagou Village, Longwanghe Village, Majialing Village, and Heishishan Village; Except for Heiyazi Village, where the five villages are located in the management area, the other four villages have to pass through the Longwang River when they come to the management area; There is only a small flooded bridge on the Longwang River; Once the rainy season comes, the river rises, the people of the four villages travel very inconveniently, the township has been saying that a bridge is built on the Longwang River, but it has been shouted for many years, but it has not been erected. ”

After Deng Xuanfa introduced the situation, he said to Yue Haohan: "Haohan, I suggest that you are here, don't mix with them in collecting taxes and fees; Let a few of them do that; If you can find a way to build this bridge over the Dragon King River; Then you are a hero in the eyes of the villagers of the five villages in this Heiyazi management area. ”

After speaking, Deng Xuan let out a long breath and sighed: "It's difficult! How can you fix it if you don't have money? When I was in this administrative area, I always wanted to build that bridge, but because I didn't have money, I never built it; You have a good brain, and you use your brain more in this matter. ”

The two of them were talking, and Deng Guoxing, the director of the management area, came back; Deng Guoxing and Deng Xuanfa are also from their own family, and their seniority is a generation higher than Deng Xuanfa. Deng Guoxing is less than 50 years old, but his hair is gray, and he looks like a person in his sixties.

Seeing Deng Guoxing enter the office, Deng Xuanfa stood up and asked, "Seventh Uncle, are you back?" Which village did you go to in the morning? Deng Guoxing replied: "I am in the village department of Heiyazi Village, let Wang Daneng count the tax collection in the past few days, just met Lao Zhu, said that you are here, I will come back." As he spoke, Deng Guoxing looked Yue Haohan up and down with his eyes.

After sitting down, Deng Xuanfa introduced Yue Haohan to Deng Guoxing and said, "Seventh uncle, this is Haohan, the godson of Brother Xuanchang; The selected students from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee were assigned to Wulong Township and arranged to exercise in the Heiyazi Management Area. ”

Deng Guoxing looked at Yue Haohan, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, yes, Xuanchang's godson must be right!" Yue Haohan waited for Deng Xuanfa to finish his introduction, and said with a smile: "Director Deng, please take care of me in the future." ”

Deng Guoxing said: "Vast, don't be polite, it's all your own people!" Heiyazi is a difficult condition, and the people here are good; When you come, you can rest assured that you will work hard here. ”

While the three of them were talking, Zhu Changyou carried a fish in his hand, followed by a woman in her thirties, and walked in; When Zhu Changyou arrived at the office, he smiled and said: "Township Chief Deng, when I went to call Zhang Cai'e to come over to cook, I happened to meet Zhu Jinshan, the secretary of Longwanghe Village, and got a fish in Longwanghe; We reimbursed it at noon. ”

After Zhu Changyou finished speaking, he handed the fish to the woman behind him and said, "Zhang Cai'e, fry the bacon at noon, boil a few salted eggs, cook this fish well, and then get a few vegetarian dishes in the vegetable garden, and four or five of us will eat at noon."
