As the name suggests, the border town is the farthest town from the county seat, and the road is not easy to walk. There is such a saying in Hongqi County, I would rather go to the provincial capital than to the border town, although the provincial capital is far away, but the road is easy to walk, and the time does not take so long.

The car was swaying for hours in the morning, and it was only before lunch arrived.

At that time, there were no vans, let alone imported brand-name cars, and there were very few jeeps and Jiefang trucks retired from the army, and only Director Li of the county party committee office could ask the city government team to send a car on a business trip.

The good old man said very little in the office, and when he got on the bus, he kept talking, and he recounted all the towns he passed along the way, talking about generalization, talking about economic development, and at that time, it was mainly rural development. What's in it? In recent years, what have been the major breakthroughs? Zhang Jianzhong can't listen if he doesn't want to, he just listens silently, and occasionally has to make a few words very humbly: How to call this town name? There's always some reason, right?

Does this have something to do with the geographical environment?

Economic development and current policies must have a lot to do with the current secretary of the town party committee, right?

The good old man is even more eyebrows dancing.

Other passengers on the bus also liked to hear it, so they said: "This comrade knows Hongqi County like the palm of his hand, and he must be a big cadre." ”

The good old man said: "I only know a little about Hongqi County, and I, like you, are ordinary people. ”

At the beginning, Zhang Jianzhong didn't want to listen to him by his side, or rather, chattering in his ears, thinking about last night's incident, and thinking about the circumcision story that Ah Hua said, it turned out that Ah Hua was not nervous about you, but afraid of putting herself in it and doing all the things of men and women with you, and it was not okay not to marry you. It turns out that Ah Hua doesn't like you at all, and it is your own amorous unrequited love from beginning to end.

Gradually, he listened to the words of the good old man, and remembered town by town. Yesterday, in order to understand the border town, he spent more than ten hours, looking for information, and reading line by line, and he only knew a little about that town. On this way, it only took a while to understand the basic situation of several towns along the way. It seems that the phrase "a conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years" still has a strong vitality.

This is also the beginning of Zhang Jianzhong's shameless questioning in the future.

What's so bad about that?

Things that may take a lot of time to understand can be explained clearly in a few sentences, including decades of experience accumulated by others.

When the bus passed through the border town government, the good old man pointed out to Zhang Jianzhong and said, "That's the town government, this is where we are going." ”

He spoke so loudly that everyone in the car could hear it, and someone said: "You must be a big official in the county, you must be a grassroots person who is sympathetic to the people's feelings." ”

The good old man seemed to be very willing to hear this conclusion, and said again and again: "It should be, it should be!" ”

is modest and incomprehensible, which makes people think that he is a big official.

Buses swept past the town hall.

At that time, you didn't have to stop when you wanted to take a bus, you had to stop at the station to get off.

After getting out of the car, the good old man and Zhang Jianzhong walked back.

As soon as he passed by, Zhang Jianzhong had a sense of déjà vu, and when he remembered it, the town government was just like the town where Zhang Jianzhong went to take the civil service exam for the first time, with only a few small buildings of two or three stories.

The good old man said: "I don't know why there are so many people in front of the town house? Something seems to have happened? ”

Zhang Jianzhong also saw it, but he didn't think as much as the good old man, after all, he was a newcomer.

Recently, I found that the iron fence gate of the town hall was closed, and the crowd around the gate was very excited, shaking the iron gate constantly, and some people even tried to climb over into the town hall, but there was a row of uniformed policemen standing inside the iron gate, and then there were a few people who seemed to be leaders, pointing and directing the police not to let those people climb in.

"Open the door, open the door." The crowd outside the door shouted angrily.

The people in the door didn't hear anything, but someone climbed up the iron gate, and the policeman took a step forward, and waved the baton in his hand, although it didn't hit anyone, but scared the people who climbed up.

After a few leaders-like discussions behind him, one of them held a loudspeaker and shouted to the crowd outside the door: "Go back, you all go back!" I'll fix it when I have something to do! ”

"What about the village cadres? What about your village cadres? The man with the bullhorn saw the village chief in the crowd, pointed to the village chief and said, "You should tell the villagers to go back immediately, and don't gather here to make trouble." If you do this again, the police can arrest you one by one by 'storming the town government'." ”

Not only did the village chief not listen, but he also sided with the crowd and shouted, "You let us in and talk." We're all at the door, why don't you let us in? You don't have a ghost in your heart, why are you afraid of us making trouble! ”

"Which side are you on? Whose cadre are you? Who do you help speak? Do you believe that I removed you? Not only did I remove you, but I also wanted the police to detain you and sentence you! ”

These words infuriated the masses.

"As long as you dare to touch the village chief, we will burn the town government with a fire!"

"As long as you dare to bully anyone in our village, we will retaliate!"

The iron door was shaken with a "clang" sound.

"Call the secretary out!"

"Tell him to come out and make it clear to us!"

The man with the trumpet said, "The secretary is very busy, and the secretary has gone to the county for a meeting." ”

Zhang Jianzhong looked at the good old man, didn't he contact him yesterday? The secretary of the town party committee was at home, and they just came. If the secretary of the town party committee is not there, and you can't get in touch with him to understand his ideas, how can you write that experience material well?

The good old man put his ear to Zhang Jianzhong and said: "If you don't say that, the masses have bigger opinions, are more angry, and can do any radical things!" ”

Zhang Jianzhong nodded, thinking that the secretary didn't want to come out to see them, and didn't want to cause trouble for himself. However, what happened that the masses collectively broke into the town government, and the village chief also participated?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way." There was a group of people calling from behind.

Zhang Jianzhong looked back and saw several strong men rushing over carrying a large log.

The crowd in front of the door cheered and immediately got out of the way, and the crowd was excited, waving their fists and shouting: "Knock the door open, knock the door open!" ”

The strong men carried the big logs, and "one, two, three" slammed into the iron gate.

The iron door shook, and the two iron doors that were tightly chained still opened a gap.

"You are sinning, and you must stop your sinning at once! Otherwise, we will not be relentless! The man with the horn shouted.

The leaders hurriedly retreated, and even three or two fled back to the office building in a panic.

The police also took a few steps back.

The crowd became even more proud, shouting: "Come again, come again!" ”
