Chapter Ninety-Two: A Visitor to the Town
Hu Changjun was having a headache.
Before noon, his mood couldn't have been better.
All the pressure disappeared without a trace after the first batch of chestnut payments came back two days ago. The first batch of goods was the largest, with a payment of more than 46,000 yuan. Moreover, Xiao Li and his gang gave 9,000 yuan for 5,000 bamboo baskets. Wu Wanwu and Wu Qian piled up multiple cash on the table, which gave people a great impact. The commune workers who heard the news wanted to see what it was like to have so much money piled up. People coming in and out held their breath and slowed down. At that time, the scene was exciting to think about.
Secretary Hu made a decision on the spot about the payment, and the first batch of people could receive it immediately. The payment for the bamboo basket is also based on the negotiated price of one yuan and two dimes, and the relevant production team is notified to collect it. The commune workers who knew the inside story were all smiling. From the payment for the bamboo basket, the commune was able to withhold 3,000 yuan. This figure of 3,000 yuan is quite a lot, and it is more than enough for two months' wages for all the staff members of the entire commune government compound.
In fact, the number of bamboo baskets is no longer enough. Li Zhendong said at the time, if it is not enough, he will ask for it again. The second batch asked for another 5,000 bamboo baskets, and they were almost exhausted. Some people are thinking, it seems that the New Year is not far away, and this year's leaders should let everyone have a good year, right?
Once again, he politely declined Zhao Qiang's proposal to invite him to dinner in the evening. When Secretary Hu smiled and came home, Xiao Lori and her younger brother were surrounding a cardboard box, and the two of them were very well-behaved, just looking at it. In this carton was a little gift that Li Zhendong bought from Lingnan and asked the team to bring back. There is a box on Secretary Hu's side and a box on Secretary Lin's side.
Xie Shuiqing was placing the dishes and chopsticks, and saw Hu Changjun enter the door, his head turned a little towards the direction of the cardboard box, "Ah, Xiao Li brought you back a gift from Lingnan" "Then I'll take a look" Hu Changjun saw the appearance of the girl and the boy, if you don't open it first to see, these two children are afraid that they will not be at ease eating. Xie Shuiqing also came up to join in the fun, and the family was around.
Untie the rope and open it to see that there are a lot of things. A few cigarettes, a few bottles of wine, this must be for Hu Changjun. Two pairs of women's leather shoes, which were very fashionable and exquisite in this era, of course, cannot be compared with later generations. A pair of large ones is estimated to be for Xie Shuiqing, and a pair of small ones are undoubtedly Xiao Loli's. The gift is worth a lot of money, Xie Shuiqing took out the leather shoes from the carton, and he couldn't put it down. There are also a few boxes of Lingnan specialty pastries and a few bags of high-end candy, I don't know who Ludao is for, because anyone can eat it. No, little Lori and her younger brother have already fought for this, is this Li Zhendong deliberately creating family conflicts? Otherwise, why do you give gifts like this? Other gifts are all tendentious, but Hu Li's ambiguity? Seeing a pair of children playing, Hu Changjun and Xie Shui Qingle were happy. After the most reluctance, Hu Changjun went to persuade him to be nothing more than the same old way, "You are the elder sister, you want to let the younger brother a little" turned his head, "You are a boy, my sister is a girl, you have to let a little" said this, okay, tie! A tie is a tie, and the little boy Hu Li lost again.
Lin Chenggui's family has no such situation, only one daughter, Lin Qingqing. Deng Chunhua held the leather shoes and muttered, "It's better to wear your own cloth shoes than to wear these leather shoes." Lin Chenggui was not angry, "Okay!" How much is this good pair of leather shoes? I can't afford a month's salary, what are you nagging? "So expensive?" Deng Chunhua was surprised. "You hurry up and bring the food, I'll taste the good wine sent by Xiao Li first." Lin Qingqing had already taken his own gift into his small room.
Sitting in the office, Hu Changjun was leisurely reading the 'evening newspaper', the late newspaper. The entire commune was already measuring the land, and individual production teams even distributed the land to the villagers. There is another set of signs in the office of the commune, which is the sign of abolishing the commune and turning it into a township. Now it's okay to put it out directly, anyway, it's the original team, but don't fight for this sooner or later.
The work of the Commune went smoothly.
Look at the plum watch in your hand, it's almost time to get off work. Well, time flies! Hu Changjun stood up and prepared to clean up the papers on the table. Xiao Xu knocked on the door and came in, "Secretary, there is a guest visiting." With the voice, Lin Chenggui came in first. A few people followed in one after another.
The people who came in were the party secretaries of several neighboring communes, all of whom were at the helm of the communes. Hu Changjun was stunned for a moment, walked a few steps quickly, smiled with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands, "Rare guests, rare guests, what kind of wind blew a few people here?" "Those who came are all of the same status as Hu Changjun, of course, for now. In a few days, it will naturally be their superior. One of them is obviously the oldest, also surnamed Lin, and he is dressed up as an old farmer on the street of the town. This is the secretary of the Sitang Commune next door, and he is the oldest. Hu Changjun had special respect for him. This old peasant-like Secretary Lin was retired due to injuries during the Liberation War. I have been this secretary for a decade or two.
As soon as the guests sat down, Hu Changjun ordered, "Xiao Xu, you go to the Lao An Hotel in the town to make a reservation, ask Lao An to make it better, and say that I want to entertain the guests." It's almost noon, and no matter what the guests do, this hospitality is wanted. Lin Chenggui picked up a thermos flask and poured boiled water for several commune leaders.
Several visitors were relieved to see Hu Changjun's warm and sincere attitude. Although they are all colleagues, they are all at the same level. But a little bit of wind and grass in the officialdom always reaches their ears, and Zhilu Dao is about to be promoted, but he doesn't know the specific position of Lu Dao. And usually people don't have a close relationship. The traffic is inconvenient, and it is too troublesome to take a car. The phone also doesn't work at all times. If it is not related to major events in the vicinity of the commune, it is generally not contacted. The most common place to meet is when the county holds a meeting, and everyone meets and says hello.
There are leaders in a certain position in the officialdom, and few people will directly say what they mean. Let's talk first, talk about the situation of their respective communes, and exchange the dynamics in the county. Until they walked out of the door and went to Lao An Small Restaurant for dinner, these people didn't say that they came to visit because of something.
Hu Changjun didn't ask, in fact, he had a conjecture in his heart.
The Lao'an Hotel is still lively. Zhao Qiang and his group invited people from the Armed Forces Department to dinner this time, and two tables were opened. When Hu Changjun entered the door, he saw Zhao Qiang and others, and when he saw Secretary Hu, all the people at the two tables stood up and greeted the secretary. Hu Changjun waved his hand and entered the small room on the right with the guests. Secretary Lao Lin took his seat, and as soon as everyone sat down, Xiao Xu walked in, "Secretary, Zhao Qiang said." He is in charge of your table, and he says to pick the best one."
"This Xiao Zhao, you tell him, I am an official entertainer, no need for him" Xiao Xu walked out of the road, and walked in again in two minutes" Secretary, Zhao Qiang said no, if Li Gongzi knows the way, he is not easy to explain", the visitor changed his eyes a few times.
Lin Chenggui smiled: "How can this Xiao Li explain to his subordinates?" Secretary, I think Zhao Qiang is responsible, right? ”
