After Zheng Weimin sent the photo to Qiao Dongping, secretary of the county party committee, at the post office of Hedong County, he wanted to contact Zhao Xinru, but this time the situation was special, he wanted to keep it as confidential as possible, so as not to let anyone know his whereabouts.

When Zheng Weimin returned to Niubei Village from Hedong County, it was already evening, and the sunset in the west was like fire, dyeing the whole village into a faint gold, and the village director Qiao Yinhua and several cadres in the village received a notice from the town party office that the head of the organization department of the county party committee would come to Yuling Town tomorrow to preside over the meeting of the town's cadres and announce the appointment of Zheng Weimin's position, which means that Zheng Weimin officially performed the duties of deputy mayor and acting mayor.

Qiao Yinhua, the village director, and the village cadres specially prepared a sumptuous banquet made of the unique mountain specialties of Niubei Village in the evening for Zheng Weimin. Zheng Weimin had already said hello, don't do any feasts, so as not to extravagantly spend money, save money, and do more practical things for the villagers, but Qiao Yinhua promised not to do it on the surface, but behind the scenes, he still made his own decisions and specially arranged a meal, but Qiao Yinhua couldn't help it, the people in the village were all spontaneous, your family took out a black chicken, wild mushrooms, my family took out one or two clear water fish caught from the mountain stream, mountain turtle or something, his family took a dozen fresh eggs, bacon meat, cool and dried hare meat, wild boar, Home-brewed sorghum wine and sweet potato vermicelli, to name a few.

When Zheng Weimin heard that the villagers knew that they were leaving, they spontaneously took out these things from home, saying that if the village did not accept them, they would throw them into the field, Zheng Weimin knew that what the director Qiao Yinhua said was the truth, and it was simply not easy to arouse the enthusiasm of the village cadres and the people, so he had to accept the banquet.

Zheng Weimin did not just enjoy this delicious meal with a few village cadres, but invited the village's respected old people, influential men and women, and wealthy experts to the table, toasted together about the feelings of building a new countryside, talked about the future development direction of Niubei Village, and at the same time, explained to the village cadres.

The village cadres and villager representatives on the table are very admirable to Zheng Weimin, on the occasion of parting, there are endless words, endless memories of small episodes and stories in the usual work, the atmosphere is warm and abnormal, talking and laughing, one by one are vying to take turns to toast Zheng Weimin, Zheng Weimin because of the large amount of wine, happy mood, simply let go of drinking, all say that the wine is a thousand glasses less, Zheng Weimin left Niubei Village at the table farewell banquet, drank three catties of liquor, nothing at all, Instead, the men at the table and a few women who could drink some liquor drank their tongues.

Originally, the village wanted to buy some high-end wine for Zheng Weimin, but he was stopped by Zheng Weimin, and he asked everyone at the wine table to only drink Niubei Village Moutai brewed by the local people of Niubei Village.

Everyone saw that Zheng Weimin was very low-key, modest, very demanding of himself, not greedy or possessive, when the village gave red envelopes to the villagers, everyone in the village shared 200,000 yuan, but Zheng Weimin did not ask for a penny, and all the 200,000 yuan allocated to himself was donated to the hope primary school in the village to buy computers, so that they admired the five-body land, they knew that a cadre can reach this realm, it is indeed very remarkable.

Chen Wang, the principal of Hope Primary School in Niubei Village, who graduated with a bachelor's degree, said a sentence that made everyone at the table agree with him when he toasted Zheng Weimin, and said: "Zheng Zhishu, you have such a noble realm at such a young age, and you can't be an official in the future, the party, the country and the people need leading cadres like you, you are doing the cause of entering the WTO with the spirit of being born, great, if the officials in China were like you, our country would have prospered a long time ago, why worry that the people do not love our party, how can there be officials who reap benefits for themselves, Those who use the power in their hands to oppress the people and compete with the people for profit. ”

"President Chen, you are right, I Zheng Weimin may be an alternative to officialdom, although this approach can be approved by the people, but may not be appreciated by some corrupt leaders, however, I originally believed in a sentence, being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, you must know that our party is a party that serves the people wholeheartedly, and always stands with the people and the people, even if there is a big wind Lang in the future, no matter how big the blow is waiting for me, I Zheng Weimin will never back down, as long as it is for the interests of the people, Here I can pat my chest and assure you that after I Zheng Weimin takes the post of town mayor, I will definitely develop the economy and let the people live a better life, and resolutely crack down on and punish party members and cadres who infringe on the interests of the people, and will not tolerate or accommodate. ”

Zheng Weimin's words were loud, which made the cadres and villagers of Niubei Village on the wine table enthusiastic and applauded one by one.

The next day, after breakfast, Director Qiao Yinhua personally took a few villagers and cadres to pack Zheng Weimin's things, ready to send him to Yuling Town, saying that it was packing, but it was actually very simple, just two beds and mattresses, a few pairs of shoes, toiletries plus a change of clothes and more than 100 books.

The news that Zheng Weimin was going to leave soon spread throughout Niubei Village, and the men, women and children of the whole village were reluctant to give up on Zheng Weimin, with a simple deep affection for Zheng Weimin's gratitude, and gathered from all sides of the village to the village committee to say goodbye to Zheng Weimin.

The old plowshare of the villager full of silver flowers, who is already over 70 years old, took Zheng Weimin's hand, after the conversation box was opened, he couldn't hold it for a while, thinking that Zheng Zhishu in order to lead the villagers to get rich, worked day and night in the village, sweated a handful, and was often so tired that he was in the rest room of the village department, and he didn't even have time to take off his clothes, he lay down on the bed, fell asleep, and was sad.

Zheng Weimin smiled and gently patted the old plowshare's hand to comfort him, the old plowboy was afraid that he would be too out of shape in front of Zheng Weimin, so he quickly wiped his cloudy eyes with his rough hand.

While wiping and saying: "Zheng Zhishu, you are really a good person, the people need good cadres like you, the people of our Niubei Village will remember you from generation to generation, it is you who let us get rid of poverty and become rich, if there is no you, we will always live in a grass house, eat pickles and live a hard life, now the road in the village is open, the environment has become beautiful, every family has built a small western-style building, connected to running water, many families have bought a small car, this is all thanks to your blessing." ”

"Alas, Uncle Plowshare, you can't say that, leading the people in the village to get rich is what the village cadres should do, don't say anything about TOEFL, we are late, we don't do enough, I just did my part, you don't have to say anything polite, cadres don't do things for the people, what kind of cadres are they."

"Zheng Zhishu, you take the people too seriously, it's really a blessing for the people, tomorrow you are leaving, the people in the village are reluctant to let you go, everyone wants to prepare something for you to eat, but the village director Qiao said that you have already confessed, everyone don't send anything, otherwise, you will be unhappy, we just came to see you empty-handed, but we always feel as if we can't go."

Zheng Weimin smiled, patted the old plowshare uncle's hand, and said with a smile: "Where did you always say, you look at so many people in the village who came to see me, this is everyone's friendship, which shows that everyone recognizes the work done by our village cadres, which is more precious than giving me anything." Zheng Weimin's words made the old plowshare uncle and the villagers who saw off one or two hundred people at the scene laugh.

Qiao Yinhua, the village director, asked several sturdy villagers and village cadres to load Zheng Weimin's motorcycle and salute onto the pickup truck, and then personally drove Zheng Weimin to Yuling Town. When the villagers saw that the car had started, they raised their hands one by one and waved vigorously, until the pickup truck disappeared from sight, and then they put down their hands, but the tears in their eyes had already flowed silently down their cheeks.
