As soon as Liu Jun walked into the house, he was thinking about how to deal with his mother's interrogation, when he choked on the thick smoke that filled the room and coughed a few times. If you look closely, the living room is full of guests. Zhang Mulin and the two deputy directors of the Hongqi Commune were present. It seems that they are all Liu Jincai's former colleagues in the Red Flag Commune.

Old colleagues suddenly became noble, and it is normal for everyone to come to the door to chat about family routines and get closer to their feelings.

Recalling the embarrassment of being choked and coughing when he first entered the door, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After being reborn, I haven't touched a cigarette for nearly two years due to the situation, and I am gradually getting used to it. It would be a good thing if I could not get addicted to smoking in this life. It's just that as a super smoker, I never thought that one day I would choke on smoke.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

As soon as these words came out, the guests were a little embarrassed and got up to say goodbye. No, patronizing and chatting, it made Director Liu hungry. Liu Jun didn't hate Zhang Mulin and the other cadres of the Hongqi Commune, not deliberately chasing away customers, but he was really hungry, and he didn't think too much about it for a while.

Liu Jincai naturally wanted to keep the guests, and Zhang Mulin and they all smiled and excused themselves.

At that time, there was no mobile phone, Liu Jincai moved into the second building, and he didn't have time to install the phone, so it was impossible to make an appointment in advance. I have delayed a lot of valuable time for Director Liu, and I am already very embarrassed, how can I stay for dinner so unrecognizable?

Seeing the guests go out, Liu Jun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly chased him out.

"Uncle Zhang, please stay."

Zhang Mulin immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaojun, what's the matter?" ”

The others also stopped and looked at Yoo Jun with a smile.

Although this child is young, he is now a member of the ya, so it is not easy to slack off.

Yoo Jun swept his eyes over the other people's faces, hesitating not to speak. Those people thought that Director Liu had something to say to Director Zhang through his son's mouth, so they all took a few steps forward and distanced themselves.

"Uncle Zhang, Fang Wenti is your relative, right?"

"Well, it's kind of a cousin. What, is there something wrong with him? ”

Zhang Mulin didn't know what Liu Jun meant by asking, and like everyone else, he thought that it was Liu Jin who had something to bring to him. It's just that I don't know what has something to do with Fang Wenti.

Liu Jun smiled: "It's nothing, when I was in Hongqi Commune, he took good care of me, and I am very grateful to him." ”

Zhang Mulin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "He's older, he should be." ”

"If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring." Liu Jun shook his head and threw out an idiom: "His legs and feet are inconvenient, and I want to help him." ”

Zhang Mulin became interested: "Xiaojun, how are you going to help him?" ”

Liu Jun smiled: "Uncle Zhang, I am a child, how can I help him." I want to ask you for a favor to find him a shop in the old street, and open his repair shop on the street, which should have more income. ”

Zhang Mulin was stunned: "This ...... Is this what Director Liu meant? ”

Liu Jun smiled: "Where, it's me who thinks so." If Director Zhang is embarrassed, then forget it. ”

Liu Jun was full of "Uncle Zhang" before, but suddenly changed his name to "Director Zhang", and Zhang Mulin felt that something was wrong. He decided that this was Liu Jincai's idea, and immediately nodded: "Okay, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I'll arrange it for him in the next two days." ”

Even in 1978, the private sector was not completely banned. There are still some unemployed people in the county who set up stalls to make ends meet. For example, book stalls, watch repair stalls, fried food stalls, etc. Zhang Mulin is a veteran commune cadre, and now he is the leader of the Hongqi Commune, so he is not embarrassed to do such a trivial matter.

After he went back, he would naturally ask Fang Wenti, and I don't know if Fang Wenti would tell him the inside story. But even if I say it, it doesn't matter. Liu Jun repaired the large motor of the Qiyi Coal Mine, and was praised by Director Liao of the province in person, not to mention that everyone in Xiangyang County knows about it, and there are really not many people who have not heard of Hongqi Commune. Mine motors can be repaired, what's so strange about fixing a radio?

To be honest, Liu Jun is not so greedy for money, and he has to share the benefits of Fang Wenti, a disabled person. It's also that sometimes it's too boring, and I have to find something to pass the time.

Confucius said: If it is not a boring thing, how can you send a life with an end?

This can be regarded as adhering to the teachings of the saints!

Back in the house, Ruan Bixiu asked strangely, "Xiaojun, what are you talking to Director Zhang?" ”

"It's nothing, I asked him to help Fang Wenti open the repair shop on the street."

"Fang Wenti?"

Ruan Bixiu doesn't often go to Hongqi Commune, so naturally she doesn't know where Fang Wenti is sacred.

"It's a distant relative of Zhang Mulin, who has a little disabled leg and foot, and runs a small repair shop in Hongqi Commune to support himself."

Liu Jincai was very clear about this situation and explained it to his wife.

Ruan Bixiu was even more strange, and asked Liu Jun, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"When I was in Hongqi Commune, he took good care of me. I want to give him a hand. Business on the street is always much better than in the Red Flag Commune. ”

Liu Jincai nodded approvingly: "Yes, the gratitude is exactly what the gentleman did." ”

Seeing that Liu Jincai agreed, Ruan Bixiu naturally did not object. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with my own family. Liu Jun felt the need to explain the situation, once Fang Wenti opened the repair shop to Lao Cai, he had to find time to help him. If I don't make it clear to my parents now, it's very inconvenient to move.

"That's right, Fang Wenti is not very good at repairing radios, I want to help him repair it."

"You ......"

Ruan Bixiu was surprised, and suddenly remembered her son's repair of the mine motor, and swallowed back the doubts that came to her mouth.

"Okay, when you have nothing to do, go to him to practice your hands, it's also a skill."

Although Liu Jincai became the leader of the county, he still has an inexplicable complex about radio maintenance. It is said that "the family has a lot of money, but it is better to have a skill".

Liu Jun was very happy in his heart, with his father's words, he could slip out in the future, and he didn't have to worry about eating his mother's hanging.

"Jincai, I'm going back to work in Lotus Commune tomorrow, I'll go to the logistics department to get some meal tickets later, and you guys, let's eat in the cafeteria."

While eating, Ruan Bixiu seemed to say very casually.

Liu Jin glanced at her and nodded.

Ruan Bixiu's face suddenly became a little unsightly. Liu Jun understood his mother's thoughts, Lotus Commune was dozens of miles away from Xiangyang Town, and it was bound to be difficult to go back and forth every time. In their previous lives, several of their sisters and brothers lived in Liu Jincai's unit, and Liu Jincai fed them. Now that the situation has changed, Liu Jincai has become the second-in-command of the county revolutionary committee, and naturally has no time to cook for the children. Ruan Bixiu started thinking about transferring work.

But Liu Jincai also has difficulties, he can't just take office, and before the serious work has been rolled out, he is busy with the transfer of his wife first.

Liu Jun was afraid that they would pinch it on the spot, so he smiled sweetly at his mother and ate a lot.

Ruan Bixiu was really in a better mood. She was not a housewife who did not know how to advance and retreat, and she quickly figured out her husband's difficulties, so she did not take it to heart. As long as Liu Jin can sit firmly in this position, it will be a matter of time before he changes his job.

Before the meal was finished, another guest came to the door.

Liu Jincai immediately put down the bowl and shook hands with the visitor very warmly.

"Minister Chengyan, please take a seat!"

Liu Jun raised his eyes and glanced at it, daring to love this forty-something, thin guy who was Cui Xiuhe's cronies, Li Chengyan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department. If Liu Jincai hadn't called out his name, no one would have regarded him as the leader of the county. It's too unofficial.

"Ah, Director Liu, I didn't know you were eating...... Or will I come back later? ”

Liu Jun frowned even more secretly.

The location of the Standing Committee is very readable, and the nearest tube building is still a few minutes away from here, and Li Chengyan is obviously insincere in what he said. This will let you go out and wait, is it appropriate? Don't say that Liu Jincai is wide as soon as he becomes an official, and he is not close to people!

"It's okay, it's okay, it's already finished, please sit, please sit!"

Liu Jincai pulled a stool for Li Chengyan, got down from the dining table himself, and handed Li Chengyan a cigarette. Ruan Bixiu put down the bowl and poured tea for them.

"Thank you, thank you...... Director Liu, I am here to report to you on the preparations for this essay contest, this is a draft plan, please take a look. ”

Essay contest?

It's fast, I just set the tone last night, and there was movement.

Li Chengyan took out a stack of manuscript paper from his briefcase and handed it to Yoo Jincai with both hands.

At that time, there were very few typewriters, and there were no shadows of computers, and the simplest 286 computers had to appear in Xiangyang County many years later. Most of the plans are handwritten, and after the finalization is printed, it will be printed by the printing house and stamped with the red official seal.

Liu Jun glanced at it, and the block script was full of beauty, and I don't know if it was written by Li Chengyan himself.

"Well, the plan is very detailed......"

Liu Jincai looked very carefully, nodding as he watched.

Li Chengyan showed a happy look on his face, nodded with Liu Jincai, and felt that it was wrong after a few clicks, isn't this praising himself? Fortunately, Director Liu focused on the plan and didn't pay attention to his gaffes.

"Well, Minister Seihiko, overall, this plan is very good......"

Finally, Liu Jin finished reading the plan, raised his head and said slowly, unconsciously playing a bit official. Liu Jun had already finished eating, put "Guwen Guan Zhi" on the table, opened it to Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table", made a show for Ruan Bixiu, and listened attentively to their conversation.

It's not that Liu Jun doesn't worry about his father, it's just that with his mental age, officialdom affairs are more attractive to him than books. Since you can't show your skills to make money for the time being, it's good to try your best to sit in this position.

Li Chengyan nodded hurriedly and said flatteringly: "It's all Director Liu's leadership, and this plan is basically carried out according to your ideas." ”

"Hehe, it still depends on the comrades of the Propaganda Department to work together, how much can I do alone?" Liu Jincai said modestly, changed his words, and said: "However, there are some details, I think I can add." ”

"Please instruct the director!"

Li Chengyan said, took out a notebook and pen, and put on a look of admiration, ready to record the spirit of Director Liu's instructions. This guy, about in front of Cui Xiuhe, who is used to being strong, is in this kind of grandson posture.

In fact, this is rare and strange for Liu Jun, in the officialdom, when directly talking about work between superiors and subordinates, most of the subordinates have this kind of respectful attitude, and Li Chengyan is just used to it.

Liu Jincai smiled faintly, very satisfied with Li Chengyan's attitude.

"If you can't talk about instructions, let's just discuss with each other...... In my opinion, the scope of this essay can be expanded a little more, not limited to the discussion of pure theory, after all, we are an agricultural county, and there are not many people who really understand pure theory. As long as they are exemplary figures in practical work and advanced deeds, they can be written, and there is no restriction on genres, such as argumentative essays, narrative essays, essays, poems, short novels, short scripts of local dramas, and allegro words......"

"Yes, or is the director thoughtful...... In this way, the content of the essay is greatly enriched......"

Li Chengyan nodded frequently, his face full of joy and admiration.

"I think the title of the essay can be changed...... Let's call it a 'Gift to the 29th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China,' Minister Seihiko, what do you think? ”

To say that Li Chengyan was forced by the situation at first to meet Liu Jincai, but now he is really admired.

Li Chengyan has worked in the propaganda system for more than 20 years, and climbed to the position of deputy minister step by step. Previously, Cui Xiuhe relied on Wang Benqing's favor and trust, and insisted on occupying the throne of the Minister of Propaganda and crushing him. Li Chengyan didn't have any strong backers, so he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and the surname Suo followed Cui Xiuhe closely, and he followed suit, and the regular work of the Propaganda Department was actually handled by him. I hope that one day Cui Xiuhe will pity her hard work and take off her part-time job as a propaganda minister, so that she will be able to take a step forward.

On the face, Li Chengyan is extremely respectful to Cui Xiuhe, but in fact, he looks down on this rebel in his heart, and feels that without himself, Cui Xiuhe doesn't know how many foreign appearances he should make. As for Liu Jincai, who suddenly became rich with a few articles, Li Chengyan was even more unconvinced. The reason why he came to the door at night to report on his work was certainly one reason, and the other reason was to let Liu Jin know his ability. Cui Xiuhe fell, Director Liu will inevitably engage in a son of heaven and a courtier, and the Propaganda Department knows that he is Cui Xiuhe's cronies, if he does not show a little real ability, let alone progress, I am afraid that even the position of this deputy minister is precarious.

Who knew that Director Liu first promoted and then suppressed, and almost overturned his plan, but he was very reasonable, far-sighted, and magnificent. Thinking about the plan I made, I felt too petty.

"Director Liu said it so well, I'll go home and rewrite the plan, and hand it over to Director Liu for review at work tomorrow."

Lee Seung-yan was convinced.

"Hehe, Minister Chengyan, don't be in a hurry, you have to rest, you have to rest, one by one, the way of civil and military. This plan will be done tomorrow, and our department will discuss and discuss it, and after it is decided, I will ask Director Yan to review it. ”

"Okay, okay, Director Liu really cares about comrades......"

Li Chengyan said, and stood up to say goodbye.

Seeing that he stopped being verbose after talking about official business, unlike some cadres who found some excuses to talk about flattery, and tried to get close to the leaders as much as possible, Liu Jun's impression of him suddenly changed. It seems that in his bones, this Li Chengyan is also an honest man.

"Uncle Li, in your plan, there should also be a limit on the number of words in the essay. It's best not to exceed 3,000 words, and the poems should not exceed 500 words, or someone will write you a long story and you can't find a newspaper to send it. ”

Yoo Jun reminded him with a smile.

Li Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled all over his face: "Thank you, you are Xiaojun, right?" It's really a family history, and the tiger father has no dogs. ”

Hey, it seems that people have long understood the situation in their own homes, and even called out the name of their little boy casually. This person really can't be an official, and once he becomes an official, he has no secrets at all. According to this reasoning, after Fang Wenti arrived in Lao Cai, he could help him repair the radio himself, and he had to be careful when collecting money, but he didn't let people grab any tricks to make his father's article.;
