Wang Guifeng nodded: "Then why not?" This is not Yanjing City, and you can't find anyone? I'll leave you with a snack. You do it first, and I'll cook for you. ”

"I'll help you." Cheng Xiaoxi said.

"Okay, if you can't be idle, give me a shot." Wang Guifeng said.

Li Xiaoning was about to get up, but Cheng Xiaoxi pushed Li Xiaoning to the bed, took off his shoes, and pushed down on the cover and said, "You slept late last night, lie down and rest." It's better to be able to sleep for a while. After that, he followed Wang Guifeng out.

After Li Xiaoning was pushed down, he remained motionless and did not adjust his posture. He was temporarily numb to the affairs of the village, and his eyes seemed to be staring at the roof, but in fact his eyes were scattered, and he saw nothing. In this way, I was confused. When Cheng Xiaoxi woke him up, he looked at his watch and found that he had slept for almost two hours. He hurriedly asked, "Is the rice cooked?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi said: "Yu Sihai has gone home, Wang Guifeng has just found it. ”

Li Xiaoning hurriedly came over to check with Wang Guifeng. Wang Guifeng said: "That's right, turn around the wall of my house, and you can see the gate of the election. I saw Yu Sihai enter through the gate, you go quickly, you will definitely be able to block the house. ”

Li Xiaoning turned around and left. When I arrived at the door of the election, I knocked twice and pushed the door in. Yu Xuan's wife had an embarrassed look on her face and said, "Xiaoning is here, sit down." ”

Li Xiaoning said: "I saw Yu Sihai go home, so I came to meet him." ”

Yu Xuan's wife didn't know what to say. Yu Xuan shouted to the room next to him: "Sihai, your brother Xiaoning is here, come out and meet you." ”

Li Xiaoning said, "I'll go in." As he spoke, he opened the small door and went in to see that there was no one in the room. Originally, these two rooms each had a main entrance, and for convenience, there was a small door in the middle wall to communicate. Seeing that there was no one, Li Xiaoning knew that he had left from the main entrance, so he turned around and walked back and said, "There is no one inside." ”

Yu Xuan said: "We don't know when he will leave." ”

Li Xiaoning said: "Just left, I entered through this door, and he came out through that door. ”

Yu Xuan's wife said, "Sit down and eat at my house." Ate it back. ”

Li Xiaoning said: "I don't eat rice, those who eat this side will have that side left." I want to see all over the world. Since I can't see it, I'd better go back. Okay, you guys are busy. ”

Yu Sihai's hide-and-seek-style excesses stimulated Li Xiaoning so much that he lost his appetite and couldn't eat a few bites of Wang Guifeng's carefully cooked meal. Wang Guifeng knew what was going on, and felt that he had the wrong time to report the news, and he regretted it very much.

Why not eat? Sleep is also affected. Li Xiaoning, who has never lost sleep, almost sleepless at night. But he didn't alarm Cheng Xiaoxi, he didn't want her to accompany him to insomnia. It wasn't until I got up in the morning that I told her about my insomnia. When Cheng Xiaoxi heard this, he said, "Why don't you keep quiet?" I don't know at all! ”

Li Xiaoning said: "I don't want to turn one person's insomnia into two people can't sleep. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi said: "No, you should sue me. The more you can't sleep, the more you have to be cranky, the more cranky you are, the more you can't sleep, and the vicious circle. At this time, it is better not to force yourself to sleep, just go outside for a walk and talk, and then go home to sleep when you feel tired, the situation will be much better. Why are you suffering silently alone? ”

Li Xiaoning said: "I said just now, I don't want to take you on the same page. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi said: "Look at you like that, what else do you have to share with me." You can't go on like this, let's just go back to Yanjing. ”

Li Xiaoning asked, "Just go back like this?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi said: "Yes, otherwise what can be done?" ”

Li Xiaoning said in a very sure tone: "You can't go!" I always have to meet with Yu Sihai and understand in my heart. Otherwise, I'll continue to lose sleep when I go back. ”

The next day, Li Xiaoning finally caught Yu Sihai, because he met him face to face, and Yu Sihai no longer avoided it. So Li Xiaoning proposed to have a meal together, and Yu Sihai also nodded and agreed.

The place to eat was the Shuhe Hotel in the town, which was also built by Li Xiaoning when he was the county magistrate. Entering the private room, Li Xiaoning looked around at the interior decoration and said with emotion: "Nothing has changed in the past few years." ”

"Ideological concepts are lagging behind, and it is strange that there can be changes." Yu Sihai said without raising his head.

"Oh? What you say is interesting, whose ideology is lagging behind? Li Xiaoning asked.

"Specifically, it is Lang Quande. I don't lag, so what's the use? Yu Sihai said.

Li Xiaoning said: "Let's talk about it specifically. ”

Yu Sihai said: "When you were there, you developed the tourism industry in the county, and I also thought that our Caoqiao Town guards a Shu River, and our section of the scenery is unique, so tourism should be considered." The specific idea is to open up the wide river beach in the west of the town, half of which is a swimming pool, and half is other entertainment and sports facilities, such as basketball, billiards, video hall, shooting range, beach volleyball, etc., so that tourists can have a place to play and have a good time. At the same time, another farmhouse will be built at the entrance of the town to solve the problem of eating and living for tourists. I estimated that it would be about five million. I found an engineer and made a preliminary design drawing according to my intention and assumption, and took it to the party committee for study. Unexpectedly, Lang Quande looked at it and said: 'Nonsense! And he threw it aside. ”

Li Xiaoning was a little surprised and said, "You are the mayor of the town, why does he have such an attitude?" ”

Cheng Xiaoxi also said: "Yes, so crazy? ”

"Crazy!" Yu Sihai said, "Do you know who he is? He is the concubine of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Qin. Ten years in the sea, making money and laundering at the same time. The money that should be earned is enough, and everything that should be washed is washed, and then he comes back to seek office. It was originally a piece of cake to seek officials, but Secretary Qin had just become the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and he didn't want to go too far. According to the general procedure, the simplest thing is to stay in the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee for a year or two, so that the time is stuck, and he can only stay in the town for two or three years before leaving, so what he is eager to grasp is the image project that will produce quick results. Then you can see why he didn't consider our project. As for talking freaks, that's determined by a special background. When the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate saw him, they smiled at him in advance from fifty meters away. Not to mention others. There is only one person in the county who is not afraid of him, and that is me. ”

Li Xiaoning nodded frequently after listening. He understood why the people in the village were so silent when it came to the question of saving zài. Cheng Xiaoxi glanced at Li Xiaoning and exchanged the same information.

At this time, the waiter brought the menu. Yu Sihai asked Li Xiaoning to order. Li Xiaoning said: "You are the master here, the guest is up to the host, it is up to you." But don't waste it. ”

Yu Sihai ordered two cold dishes and four hot dishes. Then he said: "Brother Xiaoning doesn't let extravagance, in fact, he can't be extravagant." I'm unemployed right now, and I don't have that money. It should be the meaning of welcoming Brother Xiaoning and his sister-in-law back to the village for the New Year. ”

"You don't have to pay for it, I'll ask for this meal." Li Xiaoning said. He is really a little emotional, Yu Sihai can be regarded as a person who has been the mayor of the town, once he is unemployed, he can't even afford a good banquet, he is really honest.

During the serving, the host and guest chatted and were very honest with each other. Li Xiaoning said that when he came down this time, he encountered some situations that he did not expect at all, which made him have mixed feelings. The first thing he didn't expect was that the current town and village were completely different from his impression, which surprised him. He's a little strange, it's not like he hasn't come back since he was transferred. He didn't find any problems, and no one in the village had told him anything! Are you deaf and blind, unable to hear or see anything?

Yu Sihai said: "Brother, you are really right. It is inevitable that people who become officials will have worse and worse eyesight and hearing. For example, when he was a junior official at the township level, he had more direct contact with the peasant masses, and he could see the real situation in the countryside and hear the real voices of the peasants. As a Qipin county official, there is a distance from the peasant masses, even if he comes down, there are secretaries and drivers on his buttocks, and he is accompanied by township leaders on the left and right, then he will not see much real situation, not hear many real voices, his hearing and vision are low, and he is basically blind and deaf. If the official reaches the prefectural and municipal level, that is, Brother Xiaoning, you are at the level, then you will be completely deaf and blind. Occasionally, you also come down to a little water, followed by secretaries and officials, accompanied by county and township leaders, hugging back and forth, and still want to hear and see the real thing? If the official is a little bigger, such as the provincial leader, will it be worth it? The secretary team, news reporters, security personnel, and accompanied by leaders at the prefectural and county levels, are mighty, police cars are on the road, and the people can't dodge, who dares to tell you the truth? There is a story, are my brother and sister-in-law willing to listen to it? ”

Cheng Xiaoxi said: "I really want to hear it. ”

Yu Sihai said: "This is a real thing. Last spring, Secretary Qin of the Provincial Party Committee came to our county to inspect rural work. Needless to say, the secretary of the provincial party committee travels, the secretary, the reporter, and the guard, the city is accompanied by the secretary and the mayor, and the county is accompanied by the secretary and the county magistrate. Secretary Qin wanted to go to the countryside to have a look, the county arranged to Caoqiao Town, and Lang Quande arranged to go to Xiji Village, and designated Zhang Fugui's family as the peasant household that Secretary Qin was going to inspect.

This rich and wealthy man has made a fortune the best, and he has been interviewed by reporters and published in provincial newspapers. But this Lang Quande is too bureaucratic. Zhang Fugui has gone downhill in the past few years, but he doesn't know anything. The house was empty, not even a decent piece of furniture and appliances were left. Lang Quande asked what was going on. Zhang Fugui said that when his second son got married, he couldn't afford to buy furniture and electrical appliances, so he moved all his own for young people to use.

Lang Quande was in a hurry, and moved all the sofas and TVs in his office to arm Zhang Fugui. When Secretary Qin arrived, he sat at Zhang Fugui's house for a few minutes. Secretary Qin sat on the sofa, patted the armrests and asked, 'How much is the real cowhide sofa?' Lang Quande said: "More than 20,000, is it Lao Xu?" Zhang Fugui nodded yes.

When Secretary Qin walked on the road, he asked a reporter: 'If your family only has more than 100,000 yuan, will you buy a sofa like Zhang Fugui?' The reporter said: "Secretary Qin, no, without a family of several million, who will sit under the ass with 20,000 yuan?" Secretary Qin listened and nodded deeply twice. Secretary Qin was so happy, in addition to seeing Zhang Fugui who became rich with his own eyes, he also listened to so many reports, and saw a lot of roadside projects and façade projects along the way, so after he returned to the province, he said to the reporters: "The shape of the countryside is indeed encouraging! "Look at it, Secretary Qin came down once, and the report he heard was an exaggerated result of water injection, and what he saw was a purely fake scene. It can be said that there is no point that is true, and is it too much to say that he is deaf and blind? ”
