Shao Linsen, the director of the office, knew what the secondment of Liu Youshu meant, his face was ugly, he smoked a cigarette, and scolded in his heart: "Damn, Le Bin has already thought about transferring Liu Youshu, otherwise the secondment procedures can't be done so quickly." You don't need me, Lao Tzu is not willing to wait. ”

According to the customs of Changdong, whenever a new comrade reports for duty or an old comrade is transferred, the comrades must reasonably beat the protagonist in the wine field until they get drunk, and the more drunk they are, the new comrades or old comrades will be particularly impressed by this day. Everyone happily responded to Le Bin's call and actively began to toast.

Wang Qiao was mentally prepared for today's reception wine, and he did not refuse, and drank more than 20 glasses in one go. These twenty cups of Changdong sorghum wine went down, and the stomach began to turn over the river and the sea. Wang Zhenghu saw that Wang Qiao's face was wrong, and said, "Director Wang, hurry up and eat some food, an empty stomach is the easiest to get drunk." ”

Wang Qiao scooped a bowl of egg noodles and swallowed it into his stomach.

As soon as the egg noodles entered his stomach, the second toast began immediately, and after Wang Qiao drank seven or eight glasses of wine, he covered his mouth and ran out of the door. In the bathroom, vomit mixed with noodles, alcohol, and gastric juice squirts out irrepressibly. When he sat back at the table, his eyes were bloodshot and his facial muscles stiffened.

Le Bin asked, "Can you still drink it?" ”

Wang Qiao endured his drunkenness and nodded, "I can still drink a few glasses." ”

Le Bin talked a lot after drinking, and nagged: "Working in the urban management committee, facing the most grassroots people every day, dealing with trivial matters, you must get the help of people from all sides, from this point of view, you can drink alcohol has an advantage in your work." We grassroots cadres think that those who can drink or not are not upright. People who can't drink and are always drunk are without moderation. Director Wang, let's have another drink. ”

This glass of wine goes down. Wang Qiao only felt an unstoppable force rising from his abdomen, and he didn't have time to go to the bathroom. Turned around and threw up at the trash can in the corner.

Wang Qiao vomited more and more embarrassed, and the heads of various departments and institutions smiled very happily.

In a joyful atmosphere full of the smell of alcohol, Wang Qiao officially became a member of the urban management committee.

Wang Qiao was helped by his colleagues to the family home of the Electric Power Bureau.

He was still a little conscious, and resolutely refused to let his colleagues help him upstairs, standing at the top of the stairs and waving: "You guys go, I can do it." ”

Liu Youshu said: "Can you do it?"

Wang Qiao snorted wine and waved his hand: "Women can't say casual, and men can't say no." Tomoki, I'm sure I can do it. "He was holding on. Step by step.

Liu Youshu stood downstairs and watched the drunken Wang Qiao go upstairs.

A few years ago, Liu Youshu took advantage of Niu Qingde's relationship to be transferred from the old township school to the old township government, and Wang Qiao was not the old township Niu Beitong who lived a sad life. After entering the old township, Liu Youshu got together with Party Secretary Le Bin in a rescue and disaster relief, and the relationship gradually became closer, but he gradually distanced himself from the town mayor Jiang Dabing. The frustration of the first promotion made him realize that it was a mistake for him to change the court. Liu Youshu realized that after making a mistake, he could no longer change the court, so he could only follow Le Bin closely, otherwise he would not please both ends.

"I want to find a way to use the line between Director Le and Qiu Dahai. When Qiu Dahai retires, I will have no hope. Liu Youshu watched Wang Qiao disappear at the staircase, turned around and got into the car.

Wang Qiao suddenly jumped to a leadership position and became his immediate boss. This made Liu Youshu's heart quite sour, and he read: "Life is like strong. Strong, if you can't resist, just enjoy it. ”

Wang Qiao heard the sound of the trolley starting at the staircase. The strength of the whole body is gone, and the body is weak. I couldn't move my steps, so I could only sit on the stairs to rest. More than half an hour later. He reluctantly got up, fell asleep after entering the door, and woke up with a sky full of stars.

I vomited everything I had eaten, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.

When cooking noodles, Wang Qiao, who was carrying residual wine, remembered the scene of cooking rice with Lu Qi in the old hometown of Yangbei. The material conditions of the old village are extremely poor, and the personal prospects are even bleaker, and the warmth and lingering of the two together has become the only force to drive away the dark clouds and darkness. After so many years, there were Yan Lin and Lu Yifan during the period, but the warm scenes that happened in the old hometown became clearer and clearer, and they have not faded with the passage of time.

"Whoever marries you sentimental, who reads your diary; Whoever coils up your long hair, who makes you a wedding dress......" Wang Qiao looked at the noodles rolling in the pot and hummed the popular old song. The lyrics are filled with deep sadness and nostalgia, which perfectly fits his state of mind.

After humming several times, Wang Qiao was unwilling to fall into the negative emotions of sentimentality, and forcibly turned his thoughts to work. He eats noodles, recalls the scene of spilled feces, and wonders if building a septic tank is the only way. After thinking about it, he always felt unsure, and after putting down the bowl, he simply went out to the scene of the septic tank overflow.

In the middle of summer nights, the town is quiet and peaceful. Many residents on the street dragged the cool board and spread it on the side of the street, using the street as a bed and the sky as a quilt, lighting a plate of mosquito coils next to the cool board, chatting with the neighbors sleeping on the cool board, and slowly falling asleep.

This way of life is deeply imprinted in the memory of a generation and has become the most classic picture of the hometown.

In the vicinity of the streets where the septic tank overflowed, no one dared to sleep on the streets. Wang Qiao walked around the dung water in the streets, looking for a solution.

The residential buildings in this area are all old houses from the 70s and 80s, and most of them do not have toilets. Hu Licheng, a gray-haired resident, wakes up at night, and under normal circumstances, if he urinates, he uses a night pot to solve it, but if he wants to defecate today, he can only go out to the only public toilet nearby. Hu Licheng saw a person spinning around in front of the dung water from a distance, secretly vigilant, and then laughed dumbly: "No thief will like dung water, who is this?" ”

When he got closer, he recognized this person as a young leader of the urban management committee, and greeted: "This director, are you still here so late?" ”

Wang Qiao recognized the person who had met in the morning, and said, "It's too hot to sleep, come out and walk casually." ”

Hu Licheng bent over, covered his stomach, and said, "Do you really want to help us solve this matter?" If you really want to solve it, I'll talk to you in detail later. I'll go to the toilet first. By the way, you are the leader of the urban management committee, can you repair some better toilets, the current toilets are dilapidated and old, and it is too embarrassing for Changdong. ”

Wang Qiao said: "You go to the toilet quickly, come out and let's talk." ”

A few minutes later, Hu Licheng walked back with his waist straight.

Wang Qiao said: "You are an insider, can you give me some ideas." ”

Hu Licheng said: "Find a place where the street lights are brighter, and I'll draw a picture for you, and you'll understand how to get it." ”

The two squatted on the side of the road, and Hu Licheng drew in detail the trend of the underground tunnels of several surrounding buildings and expressed his thoughts.

Wang Qiao said: "In this way, building a small septic tank between the two buildings is the only solution. ”

Hu Licheng said: "There has to be a place to store these dirty things, it is not realistic to repair pools in other places, and the place I painted for you is the only place where you can repair pools." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I have a number in my heart, thank you." ”

Hu Licheng said: "I have never seen the official come to the scene in the middle of the night, since you sincerely want to solve the matter, I will help Director Mao do some work, and each family will get together thirty or fifty yuan." Everyone is not financially well-off now, so they can only pay this little money, and even this little money has to be collected by work. ”

Wang Qiao returned to the power family home, and there was a hot sweat, and the wine slowly dissipated.

In the morning, Wang Qiao looked through the folders sent by the office. On the first page of the folder is the document sign-off sheet, which is printed with the three names of "Le Bin, Wang Zhenghu, and Wang Qiao". He followed Wang Zhenghu's example, wrote the word "read" after his name, and then sent the document back to the office.

Wang Qiao said to Liu Youshu: "Youshu, do you have any relevant laws and regulations within the scope of business in the office, I want to learn about it." "Yesterday, when he was dealing with the septic tank, he realized that he was basically blind to the laws and regulations within the scope of his business, and it was difficult for him to make the right decisions, so he was eager to make up for the lessons and familiarize himself with the business work as soon as possible.

Liu Youshu rummaged through the filing cabinets in the office, took out a thin booklet, and said: "Director Xiao Wang, I found a booklet left by Chuangwei, there are some normative documents in it, you can read it first, I will ask the old comrades later, if there is a relatively complete compilation of documents." ”

The pamphlet was yellow, old and unremarkable. Wang Qiao opened it casually and immediately found that he had picked up a treasure. He thanked him and hurried back to his office to look through it.

At this time, in the local restaurant outside Shannan University, Lu Yifan and Ai Min sat together drinking morning tea.

Lu Yifan came to Shannan last night. After she got off the plane, she didn't go to the hotel, and went directly to the old taste.

After drinking with Ai Min and the familiar chef and waiter, Lu Yifan said, "I'll stay in the pavilion tonight." ”

Ai Min knew that Lu Yifan and Wang Qiao had an affair, and said with a smile: "Wang Qiao usually comes to live in the pavilion occasionally, and no one usually goes in, but it is clean, but the dust is a little big." ”

Lu Yifan said: "What are you afraid of a little dust, just wipe it." Although the economic conditions have completely changed now, she still wears the simple dress of a sports student, denim shorts, and a red T-shirt. Although it is a minimalist dress, it looks sexy and concise because of its good figure.

Emin said, "What are your arrangements for tomorrow?" ”

Lu Yifan didn't hide it, and said with a big grin: "Tomorrow I will go to Jingzhou and go to find Wang Qiao." ”

Emin said, "Did you call him?" ”

Lu Yifan said: "No, go directly to his lair." I thought he was going to be assigned to a big agency, but I didn't expect to be in the county seat, so I surprised him and made him happy. ”

Emin said regretfully: "What a good couple you are, but it's a pity that you don't have a share." ”

Lu Yifan laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have already accepted my fate." It's not bad now, I will often go to Shannan in the future, and there will be more opportunities to meet. ”
