Wang Qiao presided over the meeting, and the specific work was talked about by the mayor Li Lingqiu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xiaoya looked at Li Lingqiu and remembered the scene of playing together when she was a child. At that time, they all belonged to the children of the county party committee compound, Li Lingqiu was the eldest sister, and Zhang Xiaoya was the little sister, but the time had passed too long, sixteen or seventeen years, and I don't know if Li Lingqiu could still remember her little sister.

The conference lasted from half past eight to half past ten and ended in two hours. After the meeting, there was no dinner, and everyone went back to their posts. Wang Qiao and Li Lingqiu sat on the rostrum and continued to talk, and waited until most of the cadres had left before they came down from the rostrum.

Without waiting for Wang Qiao's introduction, Li Lingqiu greeted from afar: "Xiaoya, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Xiaoya smiled: "Sister Li, I thought you didn't know me. ”

"It's really the eighteen changes of the female university, and the more it changes, the better it looks. Why are you here? Li Lingqiu greeted Du Jianguo at the same time as he spoke, and said, "Reporter Du, hello." ”

Zhang Xiaoya said: "I was a graduate student at Shannan University and interned at Shannan Daily in the summer, so I arrived last night. I followed Mr. Du as a group to interview the heavy rain in Jingzhou. ”

Wang Qiao saw Li Lingqiu talking to Zhang Xiaoya, he was a little surprised at first, and then felt normal. Zhang Xiaoya's father used to be the deputy secretary of the Changdong County Party Committee, and Li Lingqiu's father also worked in the county, so it is not surprising that they knew each other in their early years.

Wang Qiao waited until Li Lingqiu chatted with Du and Zhang, and introduced: "This is my friend Lu Qi, who has just returned from abroad. ”

Li Lingqiu shook hands warmly and said, "Lu Qi, welcome." Have you been to Changdong before? ”

Lu Qi smiled slightly and said, "I used to work in the old township school, and I was a colleague with Wang Qiao and Liu Youshu. Later, I was admitted to graduate school, and then I went abroad. ”

"Changdong has changed a lot over the years, Mr. Lu can take a good look, when I am free, I want to invite Mr. Lu to have a meal." Li Lingqiu has been trained at the grassroots level and is proficient in human affairs, and he can see at a glance that the relationship between Lu Qi and Wang Qiao is not ordinary, so he is quite enthusiastic.

After chatting a few words, Wang Qiao said: "Wait for Mayor Li to go to the city for a meeting." I'm going to take the enterprise office and the agricultural office to the scene to check the places where danger may occur in Sanwai, Lao Du, how do you arrange it? ”

Du Jianguo said: "The Propaganda Department just contacted me, I will follow you to interview, this is also one of my tasks, pre-disaster prevention and post-disaster rescue are equally important, and even the former is more important." ”

The two cars went directly to the three places where the disaster was likely to occur as reported by the villages just now. The first two are at risk of landslides, and one in Qingqiao is particularly dangerous. Under the leadership of Jiang Laokan, the village party secretary, everyone climbed along a trail up the opposite hillside. Standing on the hillside, you can clearly see that there is a long opening on the opposite cliff, about the thickness of a fist, about 100 meters long, which is very obvious, and you can also see rocks rolling down from time to time.

There is a small pile of falling objects at the bottom of the mountain. There is a house at the bottom of the cliff, and you can see that it is under the cliff by sight.

Wang Qiao said to Jiang Laokan: "According to the information provided by the Meteorological Bureau, there are still several heavy rains, and this slope cannot withstand this kind of heavy rain, so they should be allowed to move, at least temporarily." Lao Jiang, you want to find a place to transition for the time being. ”

Jiang Laokan kept shaking his head and said, "The village has told this family several times that this family is not at home except for two old people. The old couple are both in their seventies and refuse to move. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Then let's go down the mountain and have a look." ”

So they went down the hill and came to the bottom of the slope.

This is a rare earthen house. Decades after the reform and opening up, the number of earthen houses in Chengguan Town was extremely scarce, and they could only be seen in remote places.

Jiang Laokan introduced: "This family is the most annoyed in our village, and the village cadres often come to visit, sometimes send some money and rice, and also solve some subsidies. The most annoying thing is that the old couple gave birth to two sons and two daughters, both of whom work outside, and those who do business, and their family conditions are good. Except for the eldest daughter who occasionally goes home, the other babies haven't been home for many years. The old couple was very angry, and they didn't follow a baby, so they lived in the old house. ”

Lu Qi followed behind everyone and looked curiously at the "most annoyed" people's homes. I saw that the family's earthen wall house had a big gap, and it was crooked and fell down, and it was almost about to collapse. The soil on the ground is almost rotten, it has become potholes, the corners are leaking, and the ground is thin when it encounters water.

In the left compartment of the hall is the kitchen, next to which is the pigsty, and next to the pigsty is a half-collapsed room with some firewood piled up in it. A few roosters and hens with beautiful feathers squatted on the wood, very leisurely.

Lu Qi's mind was mainly about the impression of foreign rural areas, and suddenly seeing such dilapidated rural houses, he felt a little "back to the pre-liberation period overnight".

Jiang Laokan said loudly: "Uncle Cousin, Secretary Wang and Director Wang in the town have come to see you today. ”

The old man looked for the leader with a cloudy eye, and finally magically stopped in front of Wang Qiao, touched a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his arms, and prepared to disperse the cigarettes.

Jiang Laokan stopped this behavior and said, "Everyone doesn't smoke. ”

The old woman moved slowly, took three breaths, touched some peanuts from the back room, and when she laughed, her face was full of wrinkles, and said, "This is a peanut grown at home, it is delicious." ”

Many people on the side of the mountain in Chengguan Town have the habit of planting peanuts, and there is a lot of sandy soil on the side of the mountain, which is caused by the accumulation of rocks that have rolled down from the mountain for many years. Jiang Laokan took the basket, handed the peanuts inside to everyone to eat, and said: "There is a big hole in the back mountain, and if it rains again, it will collapse, and it will be difficult to bury the house at that time." You move out temporarily, I'll tell the nursing home that you can live for a month. ”

The old man kept shaking his head and said, "We have lived here for decades, and we have encountered heavy rain many times, and we have nothing to do, we don't move, we have lived here for decades, and we are used to it." ”

The old woman said, "We're leaving, who's going to feed the pigs?" ”

Jiang Laokan said: "You only fed one, and led the pig to my house, and there is still a pigsty empty in my house." When the time comes, I can't wait for the rain to come, and then bring it back. ”

The old man was very stubborn and said: "I have sons and daughters, not a five-guarantee household, and I will be laughed at if I live in a nursing home." ”

Du Jianguo and Zhang Xiaoya followed alongside, watching Wang Qiao and other cadres persuade the old man to move with a word, and Zhang Xiaoya kept taking photos to record the whole process.

Lu Qi stood aside, and compared the typical people and things in the rural areas of Changdong with the other side of the ocean. Walking in this circle allowed her to understand the actual situation at the grassroots level in China and the operation of government agencies better than reading ten analytical articles by political scientists. The two countries are completely different in terms of cultural genes, form of political organization, and material conditions, and applying each other's experience is bound to be unsuitable.

In the main house, there is a tablet for the ancestors, there is a candle lit, and the words "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" are written next to it. On the side wall there are several photographs, as well as a photograph of an old man holding a gun. Wang Qiao looked at the photo for a while and said, "Old man, you used to be a soldier?" ”

The old man was interested in this topic and said: "After liberation, I worked as a militiaman. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Are you a party member?" ”

The old man said, "Yes." ”

Wang Qiao said: "If you are a party member, you must listen to the arrangement of the branch secretary, and he will never punish you and harm you." ”

The old man thought silently for a long time, but still didn't say anything, and finally said the same reason, saying: "I am not a five-guarantee household, I will be laughed at if I live in a nursing home, and everyone will poke the baby's back in the future." ”

Jiang Laokan finally made up his mind and said, "If you really don't want to go to the nursing home, go to my house to live, my home is wide." ”

The old man said, "I can't disturb the branch secretary. ”

Jiang Laokan said: "Speaking of seniority, you are still my cousin in the next room, what do you have to live in my house." Okay, let's move things right away. ”

Wang Qiao was going to let Jiang Laokan take the old man home, and he and the others were going to Dapeng Mine. Du Jianguo quietly pulled Wang Qiao aside and said, "Barbarian, we want to interview more here and make the material solid." I suggest that for the sake of effect, you'd better follow along. ”

Wang Qiao said: "His family is a family with four walls, there is nothing to move, take some money, lead the pig, lift a chicken, we have to go to see the Dapeng mine, that is what I care about the most." ”

Du Jianguo said: "You go to lead the pig, that will have a good effect." If it rains heavily again, the mountain bank really collapses, and you can be a bright protagonist. ”

Wang Qiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, my lord will act as the protagonist for a while." ”

This time it was Du Jianguo's turn to be surprised, and said, "Are you really willing to do this form of journalism?" This doesn't seem to be your style. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Have you heard of that widely circulated story?" To put it simply, it is the story of two ********, one ******** pay attention to flood control and build the embankment well. The other does not pay attention to flood control at all, and the embankment is full of holes. When it rained heavily, the county where the ******** was located, who did not pay attention to flood control, was affected everywhere, and he led the cadres to fight the flood, although he suffered huge losses, because of his active disaster fighting, he was affirmed by his superiors, became a disaster hero, and was finally promoted. And the one who did a good job of disaster preparedness did not have a special news point******** was unknown, and was not promoted. ”

Du Jianguo said: "What do you want to express? ”

Wang Qiao said: "If the former ******** paid attention to publicity and packaging, and made prevention a big book on the theme, the situation would be different. Although this is a joke, it also has practical significance. Your report on the preventive work we have done is in essence a kind of work orientation, emphasizing prevention over disaster resistance. In this case, I don't want to be in front of the realm, which is pedantic. You must have thought that I was very tough and did not listen to persuasion from the beginning of my abstinence from drinking, but in fact, I was not strong, but I was unwilling to follow the trend. Now I am using this way to lead the work ethos through provincial newspapers, why should I refuse. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Qiao walked back and said to Jiang Laokan: "Without further ado, then move immediately." ”

The old man didn't have any valuables at home, so he took a small bag from the box and carried it on his back, which was all valuable belongings. Jiang Laokan and Wang Qiao helped lead the pigs, and the comrades of the enterprise office and the agricultural office, as well as Lu Qi, Du Jianguo and others, carried chickens and walked towards Jiang Laokan's house.

Wang Qiao originally thought that he had led pigs when he was a child, and he was not considered a layman. But when he really released the big fat pig, he found that the skills he learned when he was a child were completely ineffective. The names of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the Secretary of the Party Committee of Chengguan Town have no power in front of the big fat pig. Jiang Laokan couldn't control the fat pig either. In the end, it was the old man who was seventy-seven years old that he got the big pig on the road.

Zhang Xiaoya ran around and took a lot of photos, including photos of Wang Qiao driving pigs in embarrassment, as well as photos of Du Jianguo and Lu Qi carrying chickens, and of course, close-ups of houses are indispensable.

When she arrived at Jiang Laokan's house, Jiang Laokan's wife was obviously a little unhappy when she saw her husband bringing two outsiders home. After being glared at by Jiang Laokan a few times, he still muttered and ran to the back mountain to catch chickens.

These things were completely new experiences for Lu Qi. As long as she hears domestic news abroad, nine times out of ten it is associated with human rights, freedom, dictatorship, collapse, etc., and the whole domestic color is completely gray, and the gray tone leaves a deep impression on her amnesia, which is also the reason why she can't answer with certainty to stay in China, and it is also the psychological background of her inner struggle.

However, as Wang Qiao went down to the grassroots, she found that the messages she received abroad were completely different from what she experienced now. Walking in the countryside, I didn't feel the oppression brought about by the dictatorship, but the Shannan-style relaxed social atmosphere. Shannan-style society has shortcomings, such as the imperfect social security of the elderly, such as the embarrassing reality that children abandon the elderly. There are also obvious advantages, such as the traditional neighborly rural society, which has a grassroots organization with unlimited responsibilities and not much power.

If the latter article were to be listed as an advantage, there would have been a lot of opposition, and today's grassroots organizations have been subjected to the powerful impact of the new social change, and have become weak and have encountered many difficulties.

However, it cannot be denied that in the vast hinterland of the grassroots level, stability and tranquility are still the main theme.

Lu Qi sat in front of the wooden bench in the courtyard, smelling the smell of the farmhouse brought by the burning straw, watching Wang Qiao and Jiang Laokan bring the old man to the room, and some vague shadows appeared in his mind, and he fled in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiaoya served as a cameraman all the way, came down from upstairs, and was tired of walking, sitting in front of the bench next to Lu Qi.

Jiang Laokan and Wang Qiao took the old man downstairs and settled down. When he walked downstairs, Jiang Laokan said: "Secretary Wang, there is a sentence that I have been holding back for a long time, and I still want to talk about it." I think Xiao Li, a girl, wants to get it, and she is very neat, why don't we do it, I, an outsider, feel pity. Since Li Ningyong came over to help with a few things, Jiang Laokan wanted to say this, but he finally said it after holding it for more than half a year.

"Only you know if your shoes are suitable for your feet." Wang Qiao did not blame Jiang Laokan for meddling in affairs, which is also the characteristic of this rural branch secretary to a certain extent, and it is also a custom of rural society.

Jiang Laokan said with a smile: "You cultural people are just pretending to be weird, Xiao Li's family background is good, and he is smart, I don't know what Secretary Wang is looking for." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Find a suitable one, this requirement is very simple." Walking out of the building, his eyes naturally fell on Lu Qi, and he said in his heart: "I can find it there, my wife is sitting in the yard." ”
