At the tree planting site, all the tree planting tools are prepared, the tree pit is dug, and the saplings are placed on the edge of the pit.

Reporters from TV stations and newspapers stood aside, and when the leaders began to pick up tools, they recorded them with their cameras and pens, and then turned it into tomorrow's news.

Wang Qiao saw that the provincial, city, and county leaders all got out of the car and walked towards the prepared point. He said to Song Hongli, who was standing still, "Shall we go and say hello?" Song Hongli said: "You go, I won't go." Wang Qiao said: "The county leaders are also here, it's not good not to go." Song Hongli glanced at ******** Ji Zhizhou before saying, "Then let's go say hello." ”

Song Hongli and Wang Qiao, the two chief officials of Chengguan Town, greeted them.

Ji Zhizhou was talking with Yuan Chengjie, a member of the Standing Committee, and an unfamiliar leader with glasses and a white face in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

The last time the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee came to Chengguan Town, it was led by a deputy director surnamed Shang. This time, the leader of the team has changed, and there is no specific list of people who participate in the tree planting in advance, only the unit and the number of people, Wang Qiao really doesn't know who this leader is.

There were three or four positions between Yan Lin and the leader of the speech, not far or close. She smiled and listened to the conversation of several leaders.

After Song Hongli and Wang Qiao came over, the leaders of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee kept speaking, Yuan Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee occasionally interjected, and ******** Jizhizhou listened carefully to the leaders of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

Song Hongli and Wang Qiao couldn't interrupt the leader's conversation, so they stood aside and waited.

The leaders of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee spoke for about ten minutes, and saw that it was not over until half past eleven. The sun became hot, and some comrades began to plant trees on the periphery. But the comrades in the inner circle did not move, waiting for the next move of the leadership. Finally. The leader raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "It's not early." Let's start planting trees. ”

Ji Zhizhou glanced at the two chief officials of Chengguan Town, raised his hand to call them to his side, and was about to introduce them to the leader. At this moment, the mobile phone of the leader of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee rang. The leader took his mobile phone to the side, talked for two or three minutes, and said to Yuan Chengjie when he came back: "Old Yuan, let's plant trees quickly, there is an urgent matter in the province, and urge us to go back to the meeting in the afternoon." He said. As he strode forward, he picked up the hoe that had been placed next to the tree pit.

Ji Zhizhou hurriedly followed, and together with Yuan Chengjie, he accompanied the leaders of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to plant trees.

Song Hongli's face was calm, his stomach scolded his mother, and he didn't come up again, and came to a place where there were four or five tree pits away from Jizhizhou and began to plant trees. Wang Qiao nodded in the direction of Yan Lin, and also planted trees with Song Hongli.

When the tree is planted in the pit, it must be watered thoroughly for the first time. Since there is no pre-buried water pipe here, Wang Qiao coordinated a water truck from the urban management committee to park not far from the water supply. When lifting water. Wang Qiaocai and Yan Lin met alone, and the two talked a few words with a glue bucket.

Wang Qiao said: "You are leaving soon?" ”

Yan Lin said: "I heard Jiang Mi say just now, after planting trees, I will go back to Jingzhou, and I will go back after eating in Jingzhou." There will be a meeting in the afternoon. Provincial Committee's meeting. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Who is Jiang Mi?" ”

Yan Lin glanced at Wang Qiao in a little surprise and said, "Jiang Mi is the deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee and the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the General Office. It's a lot of weight. Secretary Du and Secretary Deng are both holding meetings in the province today, otherwise they should have come. "When he spoke. She couldn't help but glance down, just in time to see the mud-stained trouser legs.

Wang Qiao also glanced at Yan Lin's shiny high-heeled leather shoes. "You wear leather shoes to plant trees, and you will be so muddy that you can't find your eyes and nose." ”

Yan Lin smiled and said, "I'm used to wearing it, I was going to change it, but it doesn't match the skirt, forget it." It won't take much time here anyway, just wash it later. ”

Many years ago, when she was in the repeater class, Yan Lin rarely wore leather shoes. Once when she went out to dinner with Wu Chongbin and others, she wore high-heeled leather shoes and a long skirt, which set off the girl's tall figure very slender. Wang Qiao was very impressed by the high heels and long skirt that time, and it was the first time he left a deep impression on Yan Lin. Nowadays, slightly tall leather shoes have become a must-have for Yan Lin, and the girl who pursued perfection and was a little spicy in the past has become a gentle and generous intellectual woman.

Carrying a glue bucket, the two hurriedly talked a few words, then passed by, and each returned to his collective to plant trees.

At twelve o'clock, the leaders who participated in the Arbor Day completed their tasks. Yan Lin washed her shoes with a bottle of mineral water, washed them three times, and washed all the dirt before giving up. She walked to the minibus and looked down at the leather shoes, which were very clean, but they lacked this luster, which was not beautiful. She realized that her perfection had flareed up again, and she hurried into the car and sat down in her seat.

Through the clean window glass, Yan Lin could clearly see the tall Wang Qiao. After so many years, Wang Qiao's figure still remains the same, and has not been deformed by alcohol and nightlife. She said secretly: "Wang Qiao is the leader at the grassroots level, and I heard that the top leaders at the grassroots level are all earth overlords, who spend all their time drinking, I don't know if he has a rich nightlife." Thinking of this, she felt a little warmth on her forehead, and some inexplicable sadness.

Deputy Secretary-General Jiang, Yuan Chengjie and Ji Zhizhou got on the bus together, and Hua Chengyao, deputy secretary of the county party committee, and other leaders of Changdong County sent them off at the tree planting site.

Song Hongli and Wang Qiao of Chengguan Town stood behind the county leaders, and the two did not come forward to greet each other, but just stood behind, raising their hands and waving in the air.

Wang Qiao's eyes penetrated the glass and found Yan Lin's location. The eyes of the two touched lightly through the glass, and as the car started, they were separated by the powerful force.

The leaders left, and the others dispersed one after another. The technicians of the Chengguan Town Forestry Station began to inspect them one by one, and when they encountered problems, they dug them up and re-loaded them.

The annual National Arbor Day is considered to be complete.

After sending off all the leaders, Song Hongli and Wang Qiao became the top leaders on the scene.

In Shannan, there are four levels of province, city, county and town, and the town is the lowest level. In the eyes of the deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, he and Song Hongli, the two party and government leaders of Chengguan Town who provided venues, funds and manpower, are like transparent people, and they do not exist at all. The provincial deputy secretary general saw that Ji Zhizhou had recruited the two of them to his side, but he had no interest in socializing with officials below the county level, so he hurriedly began to carry trees.

Song Hongli glanced at Wang Qiao, who was standing beside him, and said: "It has always been the case that the secretary of the party committee of Chengguan Town has to be a member of the standing committee of the county party committee, and I am one of the few exceptions. What is the reason, you also saw it today. I'm a hard-tempered person, and my self-esteem is super strong, and I don't like hot faces to stick to cold butts. Like today's leader of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, even if you smile like a flower, you will never get a good face from the other party, so why should I stick to him. ”

After Wang Qiao came to Chengguan Town, he and Song Hongli had a very good appetite. Today's feeling at the scene is basically the same as Song Hongli's, and he said: "I'm also most afraid of sticking a cold butt." I've seen it before, but because of my temper, I really can't learn the essence of Jizhong. ”

Song Hongli said: "This is my lesson, Wang Zhen still has to learn, you are still young, you have a great future, you should bow your head when you should bow your head, and you should be small next hour." ”

During the Spring Festival, the county leaders and the relevant leaders of the city reported their work, although there are superiors and subordinates, but they have also been quite recognized, which is not a hot face and a cold butt.

Thinking about today's situation, Wang Qiao asked himself, he really can't wipe off his face and self-esteem to cater to the leader who is above the top of his eyes. At this point, Wang Qiao quite recognized Song Hongli.

When the minibus left, Wang Qiao called Dong Yixian of the forestry station to his side and said, "How many trees can survive this year?" ”

"We have to check all of them and water them thoroughly, and the survival rate is still very high." Dong Yixian complained again: "We welcome tree planting every year, but provincial and municipal leaders don't come, they come and go in a hurry, causing us to be tired for many days." ”

Wang Qiao had to talk about righteousness in front of his subordinates, and said: "Their coming to plant trees is a show, but it is also a necessary show, and this show is the banner and direction." There is also a show in a certain country, where the president goes to a restaurant to eat, and on the surface he is very close to the people, but in fact there are a bunch of agents and reporters, and this is the show. This show represents a profound meaning, and you can't help but show it, the only difference is whether the show is good or not. ”

His point of view is also true of his previous feelings, and the behavior of the leader is often a weather vane, guiding the behavior of the group.

When Dong Yixian heard the mayor say this, he also expressed his understanding and said, "I hope it won't be in Chengguan Town next time." ”

Wang Qiao said: "If the garden department of the urban management committee organizes the afforestation activities next year, you may have to complain about not paying attention to Chengguan Town. Although it is said that this scene will add a lot of things to the forestry station, the forestry station also showed its face in front of the county leaders. ”

Dong Yixian said: "The county leaders can't control me, no matter how well I behave, I can't get into their eyes." As long as you and Secretary Song think that my old Dong is working hard, it will be worth it. ”

Before talking with Lao Dong of the forestry station, Wang Qiao had some small losses because he was directly ignored by the leaders of the provincial general office. After talking to Lao Dong, Wang Qiao suddenly woke up: "It is said that Dong Yixian is a rough person, but his words are not rough. It is the leaders at the city and county levels who can decide their own fate, and the leaders of the general office of the provincial party committee are just passing through the smoke, and when they need to intersect with the leaders of the general office of the provincial party committee, the leaders of the general office of the provincial party committee at that time have no intersection with the leaders of the general office of the provincial party committee now. ”

When he met Yan Lin again this time, although neither of them had said anything about the relationship between the two, Wang Qiao seemed to feel that he had let go of some knots in his heart.

Song Hongli washed his hands and came back, and said: "Lao Peng called for dinner at noon, and he was in the restaurant outside the door to eat Jianghu big pot vegetables." ”

After the last few contacts, Wang Qiao selectively forgot Peng Jiazhen's "fatal blow" to himself back then, and became a friend who could sit at the wine table, and said with a smile: "After a day of walking, my stomach is really hungry, pork ribs, eel segments, and chicken soup in my stomach are all fragrant when I think about it." ”

In the small restaurant outside Chengguan Town, Niu Qingde, Peng Jiazhen and the army had already arrived, ordered food, and asked for tea.
