Wu Wei worked in the factory as a custodian, and as soon as the workers were concentrated there, they vented their dissatisfaction. Wu Wei was also sympathetic to the working and living conditions of the workers, but he could not do anything but make suggestions to the leaders.

One afternoon in mid-November, some people sat in the factory headquarters chatting together, and Director Liu, a mild-mannered logistics director, said very angrily that now a few factories are not eating and drinking as well as before, and they may have listened to the masses' feedback on the leaders' attention. But our social office is getting more and more powerful, these days without falling off the table to eat, as if I haven't eaten for eight lifetimes, if I eat my own food, can I do this? It is not that the wool comes from the sheep, and the wages of dozens of workers cannot be paid.

Bulldozer Tang Xueyi snorted angrily and continued, the guests came to entertain and said in the past, but there were no guests and no guests were there to drink, sometimes a few people also rubbed a meal, a table was not cool and the table came up again, the whole day was busy Zhang Luo ate and drank, the social office became a guest house, the desk became a dining table, and the office became a eating and drinking room, which was too unspeakable, and the atmosphere was ruined. Eating and drinking should be able to open the door, the materials can't come in, the products can't open the road, they are all wine bags and rice bags. One day I'm afraid that I will turn over the strips and settle the general ledger. He looked at Wu Wei and said to him again, look, he took out a handful of things from his pocket and said angrily, this is the bud rice that has just been divided, whether it is for livestock or for people to eat, it is such a grain that can only be eaten half full, I think you don't want to investigate, it's useless to reflect it, don't bother thinking about it, the leader is not willing to listen to these words, and it is not good for you to be tired of listening. Fuck, not only eat and drink, but also mess with slips to give favors.

Hebei's big Li also said dissatisfiedly, it was snowing at the end of last month, we worked overtime to burn the kiln, the cold was enough to choke, the canteen entertained the bulldozer drivers, the factory director considered the hard work of the workers, and waited for the guests to eat in the middle of the night after a few of us were called in for a meal, which was still the rest of the wine and food. When the leader heard that he had given us a bottle of wine from the three bottles of wine used to entertain the guests, he was very unhappy and blamed him for saying that the workers were still drinking, and they found out who called for it. Whoever calls for the drink gets the money, and the factory director has to pay for it himself. How chilling it was, and I a fart, messed around with him, and mixed it up.

Chen Shougui, who looked like he had a vicissitudes of life, sat there and said with a sad face, I can't pull back the firewood in winter, and there is no way outside, so if I can't pull it back, we won't lose it, let's leave the collective and it's over.

Wu Wei listened to the discussion and asked, can't you reflect more to the leaders?

Someone shook his head and said, no, ignore it, talk too much, let you figure it out yourself.

Wu Wei asked again, we can't help it?

Someone answered, what can be done? can only work less effort, trying to be idle.

Wu Wei proposed, how about we go to find it collectively?

Big Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, don't be this head, you are so young, educated, brainy, promising, don't delay your future because of everyone's affairs. You have to take the lead, and the leader doesn't hate you yet. We see that the leader trusts you a lot, work hard, and wait for you to become a leader one day in the future, just think more about the people below.

Wu Wei said, I want to think of other ways to save the country.

Secretary Li of the Social Affairs Office is an old cadre, not tall, but he looks very stocky, has a serious temperament, and has a steady appearance at a glance, and his tone is solemn and powerful, giving people a feeling of reliability. He was aware of the dangerous situation of the social office, but he always felt that it was a problem of people's thinking, that he was anxious to grasp the problem of people, and that he was accustomed to solving problems by political means. He was anxious to understand who was making trouble, and took Wu Wei as his eyes and ears as a matter of course.

What made Secretary Li feel more direct pressure was that the new deputy secretary Zhang Guishan was transferred from a well-known and wealthy village in the whole region, which reflected the need to strengthen the leadership of the social industry, and also to take over Secretary Li's class, considering Secretary Li's old age. Zhang Guishan is tall, with a thin face, bright eyes, very capable at first glance, and speaks crisply. He spoke at the meeting to welcome him, and he said very emotionally, if you want to work in the social office, you must let the social office change, how can you change? We must think of some new ways and new methods. It seems that the old way and the old way are not working well, and I am afraid that there is no good way out in that circle. Today, I talked to you and used my brains, and if I have good ideas, I can come to me directly. Some people were happy to hear his words, like Secretary Li felt particularly harsh when he heard it, isn't this aimed at him, I want to see what tricks you have. This prompted Secretary Li to speed up the adoption of some effective measures.

After Wu Wei worked as a custodian for a while, Secretary Li asked him, how are the people in the brick factory now? Wu Wei replied truthfully that he was quite dissatisfied with the social office. The secretary asked again, what are the specific aspects? Wu Wei responded to the Tao and did not care about the lives of the masses, and most prominently ate eating grain and burning firewood. Secretary Li also said with approval, this has to admit the status quo, in the past there was no land, and there were few cars, and now it will be easier to solve this kind of problem after taking Tuweizi over as a logistics base. Again, who are the outstanding performers and take the lead in this part of the population? Wu Wei felt that it was difficult to answer such a question by name, so he answered vaguely, it was all the same. Secretary Li showed a dissatisfied expression and said, it's almost not good, who is it? Wu Wei deliberately said vaguely: Some people have told me in the past that due to the poor living arrangements of the masses, dissatisfaction with the social affairs office has become common, and it is impossible to say which one is prominent. Wu Wei dimly realized that it was not good to answer the leader in such a vague way. In fact, the leader's words have to be analyzed and listened to, ask you who is the leader, who is the leader, you don't say, thinking that you can support me, the leader has actually made an account in his heart, thinking that your position is not firm, to put it bluntly, it is not ironclad. Wu Wei didn't realize the seriousness of his answer to the leader's question. Secretary Li said in an accentuated tone and assigned tasks, you go down to check again, find out who is fanning the flames, and is there any other reflection? Then there is the problem of low enthusiasm for work, whether you can find a good way. We've thought of a lot of things in the past, and now we've just introduced two decisions to see how they work. Wu Wei said: Judging from the situation reported in the past two days, it is not as good as imagined. Secretary Li explained, then observe and observe.

The two decisions mentioned by Secretary Li to Wu Wei refer to the two major decisions taken by the commune party committee on the social-run industries that have just been announced: the first is to change the wages of the work division, which shows the confidence and determination of the party committee to run the social-run industries well, and the second is to take over the soil and weizi as a social-run agricultural base to solve the worries of the workers. In order to understand the ideological reactions of the workers to these two decisions, Wu Wei visited them that night, and some of them applauded, said that they would do a good job, had attitudes that they thought they might encounter, and even more things they didn't want to hear at all, and the general feeling was not as they imagined.

With these problems, Wu Wei followed Secretary Li to attend the commendation meeting of the county's socially run industrial front, and he was able to participate in such a meeting soon after entering the society, which made him feel very honored, proud, and encouraged. Especially on the day I just reported to see Song Rou, she was participating in the organization of the meeting, and she was very happy to see Wu Wei in the list of people who participated in the meeting, and she went to the station to pick up Wu Wei and Secretary Li, and agreed to have a good chat in the evening. The meeting not only distributed documents, but also distributed notebooks and pens with the words "commendation meeting" printed on them to the participants. Wu Wei listened to the speeches of the leaders at the meeting, all of which reflected the spirit of great hope for social enterprises, and he was very excited, especially when the group discussed the speeches of the secretaries of other social brick factories, he listened very carefully to see how they did it, what problems they encountered, and how they solved them. The secretary of a brick factory said that he was old and uneducated, and that he was a layman who ran a brick factory, and the leaders of the commune listened to it and said that they were all under the unified leadership of the party. After returning home, we should start studying, grasp the study in accordance with the spirit of the conference, and grasp the struggle of the class struggle line. When he introduced the situation of their brick factory, he said that there had been a strike problem, and the workers said, "I have not eaten enough and cannot work, so we have a meeting in time to solve it." When introducing the division of work system in their brick factory, he said that the workers had a big opinion, saying that we had left the countryside to do the work of the workers, and that the commune was now studying and solving this problem. Hearing this, Wu Wei felt the wisdom of the leaders of his social office and the commune, and solved the problem in advance. Listen to the secretary and continued, our brick factory is not out of production, the factory director, accountant, purchaser, custodian all participate in the labor, in the workers to solve the problem of not working hard, the leader to take the lead in everyone is easy to follow, thrifty business, improve the management system, spend what should be spent should not be spent, money spent on the blade. Wu Wei was very inspired by what he heard and felt that they were doing better than himself.

After dinner, Song Rou came to his room and saw that he was reading the meeting papers, and there were Mao Xuan and a notebook on the table. Wu Wei was very happy to see her coming, busy letting go of the seat to pour tea, she smiled and said, you have learned to be polite, so she took the teacup and sat at the table, took a sip of hot tea, looked at him and smiled, you can make progress so fast, just over a year after graduation, you can attend the county model worker conference, how glorious. Wu Wei briefly said the inspiration and encouragement he received at the meeting, and then said worriedly, our social industry has encountered a lot of problems, and then listed the chaos he saw in detail, and admonished, don't tell others these things, it's not good to reach Secretary Li's ears, he trusts me very much, and cares about my progress, if it weren't for him, I would have the opportunity to attend such a meeting? Song Rou smiled and said, you are really good, you can see so many problems, and you can distract the leader and help make suggestions, I didn't learn in vain, I won't tell others the problems you said. I see that you are still studying Mao, and you will definitely have a lot of experience, can you tell me about it? Wu Wei said very frankly, I came back from Tuweizi for a long time after the mental pressure was very high, my thoughts were also very chaotic, and I couldn't clear up the clue, and then my second brother came home and saw my diary by the way, and wrote a few lines on it, which inspired me very much, and I just let go a little. Song Rou said, you can show me now. Wu Wei said with certainty, I also want to show you, and you will propose something that will help me. I'll definitely show it to you when I get the chance. After saying this, he hurriedly got up again to refill Song Rou's tea. Wu Wei sat down and said, I always feel that the current society is very chaotic, there are many problems, in the past I just look at the hard work, to the social industry less than a year, contact with some things up and down, I feel that the top and bottom are very good to me, but I feel that there are problems between the top and bottom, there is a very serious separation between each other. Song Rou said, I didn't expect you to be satisfied from top to bottom, but it's not easy. Wu Wei shook his head and said, I can't say that I am satisfied, I can basically accept it. Song Rou said, this is not easy, I work in the county party committee office, and when I see the people around me, there are really few people who can do your level up and down. Wu Wei felt that he had been chatting in the room for too long with the young and beautiful female cadres of the county party committee, so as not to cause any trouble to others, Song Rou also saw that he had any inconvenience, so he had to get up and say goodbye, and asked him again, the meeting is scheduled for three days, how do you want to do it in addition to attending the meeting? Wu Wei said, I'll go to my second brother's house tomorrow night to have a look. Song Rou said, okay, there is a chance to chatter again. He knew that she was staying at his uncle's house, and it was not far from here, so he didn't send it far.
