In the afternoon, after Deng Xuanfa left, Yue Haohan received a call from his mother Wang Sulan, Wang Sulan told Yue Haohan that Old Man Luo Xianjieluo had come to Jiangyang, and asked Yue Haohan to ask for leave to go back, and Old Man Luo wanted to meet him.

Before dinner, Zhu Changyou came back from the village, and when he had dinner, at the dining table, Yue Haohan said, Secretary Zhu, you just left in the morning, and Township Chief Deng came and said, the township has established the Longwang River Bridge Construction Headquarters, and I was transferred to work in the headquarters office, and I will report to the township after the National Day.

Zhu Changyou said that the headquarters is located in the township government? Not in our Black Yazi Management Area?

Yue Haohan said: Yes, Wu Youde and Secretary Wu are the commanders, He Anqing and He Township are the first deputy commanders, and the other party committee members are all deputy commanders, and Wu Tao, the deputy commander, is also the director of the headquarters office, managing funds and logistics.

Zhu Changyou put down his rice bowl and said, vast, it seems that the bridge on the Longwang River is a bit complicated to erect.

Yue Haohan said, Secretary Zhu, there is no way, take a step at a time. In addition, I have something to report to you, in the afternoon my mother called, saying that my grandfather Luo is here, and asked me to take two days off and go back.

Zhu Changyou said, it's okay, tomorrow is Sunday, next Monday will have a day off on the National Day, and Wednesday will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. However, I suggest that you still tell Township Chief Deng, and simply report to the bridge construction headquarters in the township after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yue Haohan said, okay, Secretary Zhu, I listen to you, then I will take the morning bus back to Jiangyang tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Yue Haohan returned to Jiangyang County, at about ten o'clock, entered the yard of the house, his mother Wang Sulan was washing clothes, saw Yue Haohan enter the yard, dropped the clothes in his hand, stood up, wiped his hands, took the bag in Yue Haohan's hand, and said, son, come back so early? Put the things at home, first go to Principal Liu's house to meet Mr. Luo, the old man came yesterday afternoon, and asked you when I got out of the car, so I hurriedly called you.

Yue Haohan said, Mom, my father? So not at home?

Wang Sulan said that he was playing chess again, and he would definitely not come back until it was time to eat.

Yue Haohan entered the house and put down the backpack with clothes on his back, took out two catties of tea and a few catties of fresh walnuts brought back from it, put them on a large plastic bag, carried them to the yard, and said to Wang Sulan, Mom, I will go to Mr. Luo's house, I brought two catties of tea and a few catties of fresh walnuts this year to Grandpa Luo.

Yue Haohan carried tea leaves and walnuts, entered the courtyard of Vice Principal Liu Xiaofeng's house, and saw Luo Xianjie standing next to the two osmanthus trees planted in front of the corner of the courtyard with a teacup in his hand, watching the osmanthus that had bloomed, Yue Haohan stood and shouted, Grandpa Luo, are you studying osmanthus?

Hearing the shout, Luo Xianjie turned his head and looked, and saw that it was Yue Haohan, hahaha laughed a few times, and said, your kid is finally back, grandpa and I were panicked in the house alone, so I came out to smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers; Quick, let's go into the house and tell grandpa about how you're doing when you go to work.

Hearing the sound of talking, Luo Kangmei, who was busy in the kitchen, wore an apron around her waist and held a handful of leeks in her hand, came out with a smile and said, Haohan, you are back, the old man asked you when he got out of the car yesterday, and when he got up in the morning, he was still talking about when you can come back today.

Yue Haohan said, Hello Mr. Luo, after my mother called me yesterday afternoon, I took a leave of absence and came back early in the morning by the morning bus.

Luo Kangmei smiled and said, Haohan, eat here at noon, and drink two cups with your grandfather, this time, the two of you will chat in the house first, and I will prepare lunch.

When he arrived in the living room, Yue Haohan put down the things he was carrying and said, Grandpa, I brought you two catties of fresh autumn tea and a few catties of fresh walnuts.

Luo Xianjie smiled and said, I drank the tea that your kid asked your eldest brother to bring me last time, and it tasted good, no worse than the Dao tea from Wudang Mountain that my junior brother gave me.

Yue Haohan took the boiling water bottle, added water to Luo Xianjie's cup, and poured himself a cup of tea, the two sat down on the sofa, Yue Haohan asked, Grandpa, why are you here?

Luo Xianjie said, September 28 is the death day of my master Xu Benshan and his old man, and it has been 58 years since the old man left us, the older I am, the more I miss him, I paid tribute to the master on Wudang Mountain, and came to see the anti-United States, look at your eldest grandson, and understand the situation after you go to work. What do you think? Are you still adjusting to the work?

Yue Haohan said, grandpa, if you want to talk about work, I really haven't adapted to it, I used to know little about township work and rural conditions, since I came into contact with the countryside, I really found that farmers are hard, agriculture is difficult! Township work is complicated.

Luo Xianjie said, eldest grandson, you can express such feelings, it shows that you are good at thinking, we are a big agricultural country, the peasant problem, the agricultural problem is always a primary issue, the rural stability and the peasants are rich, the country can be stable, and only then can the country be stable and long-term peace and stability, so the most fundamental thing in rural work is to understand the needs of the peasants, understand the peasants' suffering, your grandfather and I rebelled and made a revolution at the beginning, and we were not forced to live at first, so in order to fill our stomachs, we picked up the barrel of a gun. Now that we have conquered the world, we will not be able to follow the old path of the old society, and we must consider the interests of the common people in everything and show more concern for the weal and welfare and life of the common people.

Luo Xianjie paused, took a cup and drank two sips of tea, and then said, I heard your brother-in-law say that the last time you went to Jianghan, you were looking for the province to fight for funds to build bridges over the Longwang River in your place? This also shows that you can consider the problem from the needs of the peasants and the interests of the masses, and you have done things for the people, and they can see it clearly and keep it in their hearts.

Yue Haohan smiled bitterly and said, Grandpa, don't mention the matter of fighting for funds to build a bridge, I am still worrying about this matter, and I now understand that wanting to build that bridge is not just a lack of funds.

Luo Xianjie smiled, looked at Yue Haohan, and asked, what's wrong? Having trouble?

Yue Haohan said, grandpa, it's not troublesome, it's very troublesome! I couldn't figure it out because of this.

Luo Xianjie said, tell my grandfather, and I'll help you come up with ideas; It is normal to have difficulties, but it is not normal to have no difficulties at work; However, if there are difficulties, you must dare to face and face them, and find solutions to problems, so that you will slowly grow up and mature.

Yue Haohan said, grandpa, here's the thing, the province has already allocated the two million yuan of funds won to the county, but the county wants to transfer one million yuan from it to other places; In addition, the township set up a bridge construction headquarters yesterday, with party secretary Wu Youde as the commander, and all other party committee members as deputy commanders. Grandpa, tell me, how else to build this bridge? Can it still be erected?

Luo Xianjie smiled and asked, do you have a feeling of encountering a villain, a feeling that you have nowhere to go?

Yue Haohan looked at Luo Xianjie and said, Grandpa, what you said is so right, I just feel that the villain is in charge now, and the entire Wulong Township is Wu Youde, who has the final say, in the party committee of Wulong Township, he has a majority of votes and has the absolute right to speak, Wu Youde is a villain again, you say this is not a villain, what do you say? Grandpa, tell me, what should I do in such a situation? It really makes people feel that there is no way at all, and Wu Youde represents the organization.

Luo Xianjie laughed and said, eldest grandson, it's good that you can recognize this, but I want to warn you, don't offend the villain easily, you know the Book of Changes, and you are studying history, you take a good look at the "lawsuit" hexagram in the "Book of Changes", which is about not offending the villain, how to deal with the villain; According to the hexagram "Lawsuit", people with insidious hearts and strong personalities like to cause disputes the most, and this kind of person with insidious hearts is villains.

Yue Haohan looked at Luo Xianjie with questioning eyes, and asked, Grandpa, then according to what you said, we have to swallow our anger, let others slaughter it, and don't care about it anymore if the bridge can't be built?

Luo Xianjie looked at Yue Haohan meaningfully, and said, Haohan, you misunderstood grandpa's words, in our daily life, there are some people that we can't afford to provoke for the time being, when you face them, it's best to take the "go ahead" approach, avoid them, don't be serious with villains. The reason why villains often give others anger and even enjoy it is mainly because they have a plan to do so. Either it is to harm others and benefit oneself and gain some benefits, or it is purely to frame others, prevent others from surpassing oneself, and seek psychological balance. It can be seen that villains also have different levels.

Luo Xianjie took a sip of tea, and then said, some of the rat villains who live around us, their eyes are firmly fixed on the big and small interests around us sooner or later, ready to get more at any time, and for this reason, they are ready to use various means to calculate others at all costs, which is unguardable, they may usually be able to hide within the organization and group, and do something behind their backs, but the monkey's tail can't be hidden after all, and there will be a day when it is revealed. The villain is an expert in pondering others, and dares to pay some price for small grievances, so it is not possible to deal with the villain without a set of methods.

Haohan, you are studying history, and I will tell you two stories about villains during the Tang Dynasty. Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty was a traitor who was often accompanied by Tang Xuanzong's subordinates, and he was extremely narrow-minded and could not allow others to be favored by Tang Xuanzong. Tang Xuanzong has a preference, he prefers military generals who are beautiful, talented, and magnificent. Once, Tang Xuanzong, accompanied by Li Linfu, was walking in the garden, and saw a dignified-looking and burly military general walking over from a distance, so he sighed, this general is so beautiful! asked Li Linfu who the general next to him was, and Li Linfu said that he didn't know. At this time, Li Linfu was very panicked in his heart, for fear that Tang Xuanzong would like the general. Afterwards, Li Linfu secretly instructed someone to transfer the general who had been praised by Tang Xuanzong to a very remote place, so that he would never have the opportunity to contact Tang Xuanzong again, and of course the general also lost the opportunity to be promoted. From this story, you can see that the villain's behavior is inexplicable, his heart is very small, there is no room for sand in his eyes, and he will do whatever it takes to harm others and benefit himself for a little honor and disgrace.

There is also a story, also from the Tang Dynasty, about a person who is good at dealing with things and dealing with villains. Guo Ziyi made great contributions to quelling the "Anshi Rebellion", but he was not arrogant, and he was extra careful to prevent the villain from being jealous. Once, a bureaucrat with a much lower status than him in the court wanted to visit him, Guo Ziyi made careful arrangements in advance, because there were many maids in the house, he asked all the maids to avoid it when the time came, and not to show up. Kwok Ziyi's wife didn't understand this move and asked him why he did it? Guo Ziyi told his wife that this bureaucrat was a complete villain, less than five feet tall, and his appearance was extremely ugly, and he was very taboo for others to say that he was ugly. Guo Ziyi was worried that the maids in the family would laugh when they saw this person, so she asked all the maids to hide. Guo Ziyi knows this bureaucrat too well, and she should be cautious when dealing with him. Later, this villain became the prime minister, and tried his best to take revenge, framing all the people who had offended him before, but he respected Guo Ziyi more and did not touch a single hair. This incident fully reflects that Guo Ziyi's treatment of villains is both thoughtful and sophisticated.

After Luo Xianjie finished telling the two stories of the Tang Dynasty and drank a few sips of tea, Yue Haohan got up busily, changed the tea leaves in Luo Xianjie's cup, added water to his cup, and after sitting down, Luo Xianjie continued, Haohan, you have to remember that the villain is powerful, but we don't have to be afraid of him, I asked you to avoid the villain because we are not worth wasting too much energy on a struggle that has no value. In this kind of struggle, once you can't grasp the boundaries of your behavior and offend the villain, he will try his best to ponder you, sabotage your business, distract your energy, and make you unable to feel at ease in work, study and life. So, Grandpa told you that all those who want to do a good job must bypass the villain.

Yue Haohan listened to the story told by Luo Xianjie, thought for a while, and said, Grandpa, the two stories you told inspired me a lot, and I suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, I am now unstable on my heels, there is no need to fight with the villain, and I don't have the capital to fight with the villain.

Luo Xianjie said, vast, you just joined the work, you don't have a lot of experience, don't look at what kind of people are in a small township, what kind of people are there, grandpa sent you a word, you have to watch more, listen more, and speak less. Look more, what to see? Look at all the people and things that are related to you. Listen more, listen to what? Listen to other people's experiences. Why talk less? One is that when you are in a hurry to speak, you are not in the mood to watch and listen more. Second, the more a person speaks, the more his shallow ignorance is exposed, and it is difficult for him to gain the trust and attention of others. A person who speaks casually must be a person with no sense of responsibility.

Yue Haohan said, grandpa, I remember, I will definitely do it in the future, watch more, listen more, and speak less.

Luo Xianjie said that some people say that silence is golden. In fact, silence itself is not gold, but only a process of alchemy, after a comprehensive analysis of various situations, and a relatively reasonable conclusion, he will speak cautiously, so that he will always give people gold, and will naturally be regarded as an extremely valuable person, so he is valued and trusted.

When the grandfather and grandson were chatting on Xingtou, the vice principal Liu Xiaofeng came back with a pot of rice wine, and seeing Yue Haohan there, Liu Xiaofeng greeted him with a smile and said, Haohan, I'm back, I'm back with your grandfather at noon, you grandfather and grandson are chatting first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is good, it's almost twelve o'clock.

At lunch, Luo Kangmei cleaned up a large table of dishes, and Liu Xiaofeng called Yue Haohan's father Yue Yulin and godfather Deng Xuanchang over, and everyone drank a lot of wine lively. At the wine table, Yue Yulin invited Luo Xianjie and everyone to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at Yue Haohan's house on the evening of August 15, eating moon cakes, tasting tea, and admiring the moon.
