I had already spent two nights in Shuangsheng Township, and it was the morning of the third day.

Shortly after I got to work, the landline phone on my desk rang.

Seeing the caller ID above, Li Xiaohe took a look and picked up the phone receiver: "Hello, Shuangshengxiang." ”

"Is Township Chief Li Xiaohe here?" A woman's voice came over the phone.

Damn, what's a big clove of garlic? Can you not hear it? Despite the ridicule in his heart, Li Xiaohe still replied truthfully: "I am Li Xiaohe." ”

"Come and get people immediately, dozens of villagers in Shuangsheng Township are petitioning the county government." The woman's tone was very serious, "The leader is very angry and asks the head of the township government to come in person." ”

"Why did you petition?" Li Xiaohe asked.

The woman snorted: "The township chief doesn't even know what's going on under his rule?" It's really weird. It seems that because of the fund-raising borrowing, the villagers are chasing the principal and interest. Hurry up. ”

Just as he was about to speak, there was a "pop" sound in his ears, followed by a short "beep" sound, and the other party had hung up.

Putting down the telephone receiver, Li Xiaohe scolded: "Damn, use chicken feathers as arrows." ”

Li Xiaohe scolded the woman who called just now - Hu Yujing, it has only been a few days, and this woman spoke in a condescending tone. On Monday, I really don't know which girl whispered and wanted to give everything to herself? In fact, women have not only changed their faces today, but have already turned a blind eye to themselves three days ago. Although he looked down on this woman's virtue, Li Xiaohe did not reply just now, he knew that now that his position had changed, he had to adapt to this situation. In fact, it's not just this woman who has changed?

After scolding, Li Xiaohe's brows furrowed, and he searched in his mind for matters related to fundraising. Although today is the third day of his appointment, after deducting the handover the afternoon of the day before yesterday, it has only been one working day in the township, and there is no matter of raising funds and borrowings, and Zhao Yingcai's handover is not involved at all.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaohe stood up and sat down quickly, he knew that the secretary Zhao Qiang was on a business trip, so he dialed the other party's mobile phone.

Two ringbacks sounded, and Zhao Qiang's voice came from inside: "Lao Li, what's the matter?" ”

"Secretary, just now the county government office called and asked the township to collect people, saying that some villagers had petitioned because of the matter of raising funds and borrowing." Li Xiaohe expressed his doubts, "I don't know about this, when did the township raise funds?" ”

"Fundraising? Didn't you? After a pause, Zhao Qiang said, "It may be the matter of the potato deep processing company raising funds, which has always been the government's concern, and I don't know very well." In this way, you can ask Zhou Liang for information, and also ask the deputy mayor in charge. Lao Li, the two festivals are approaching, and the matter of petitioning must be properly handled, and you must hurry up. ”

"Okay, I'll find out first." As soon as Li Xiaohe said this, he found that the other party had hung up, so he also put down the earpiece.

picked up the small phone book, and according to the number on it, Li Xiaohe dialed out again.

"Dut...... After two ...... beeps, a voice came from inside, "Township Chief, are you looking for me?" ”

Li Xiaohe said into the microphone: "Director Zhou, come to my office." ”

"Township Chief, I'm running errands outside, and I'll have to go back in about one or two hours." The other party replied.

Li Xiaohe said "oh": "The county called, saying that there were villagers who went to petition, and it was about fundraising. Listening to Secretary Zhao, it may be a matter of raising funds from the potato company, and he said that you know, let me ask you. ”

The other party hurriedly denied: "I don't know, I didn't participate, I hadn't arrived at the office at that time, and I asked someone to send you the relevant information." ”

After saying "send it right away, contact the village leaders", Li Xiaohe ended the call.

The person who answered the phone just now was Zhou Liang mentioned by Zhao Qiang, who was the director of the township party and government office and had already met him. Yesterday morning, presided over by Zhao Qiang, a meeting was held, and the meeting was very simple, that is, Li Xiaohe met with the township cadres. In fact, everyone knows the former director of the county government office, and Li Xiaohe basically knows these people, but now his identity has changed, and he needs to go through the form again. At the meeting, people introduced themselves, and Zhao Qiang, secretary of the Township Standing Committee, announced the appointment document for Li Xiaohe on his behalf and said some clichés. met for the first time in a new capacity, and Li Xiaohe only said a few words with the words "please support" and "cooperate".

After a short time, a girl knocked on the door and entered the house, and directly handed over the paper in her hand: "Township Chief, Director Zhou asked me to send it." ”

Li Xiaohe knew this girl and knew that the girl was Yang Xiaomin, a clerk of the Party and Government Office, and yesterday's meeting was a record made by Yang Xiaomin. He took the paper and said, "Thank you, go get busy."

Yang Xiaomin walked out of the room, and Li Xiaohe looked at these documents.

Looking at it, Li Xiaohe frowned. After thinking about it, I dialed a number again.

It took several times for the ringback sound to be connected, and a female voice came from inside: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Li Xiaohe said: "There are villagers in the county who have petitioned about the fund-raising of Yishan Potato Company, and you are in charge of ......."

"I'm on my way to the village, and the signal will run out soon, I'll ......" The other party's voice seemed to be very urgent, and the words were half silent.

With a "snap", Li Xiaohe pressed the earpiece onto the phone.

The woman on the phone just now is Jia Xianglan, the executive deputy head of Shuangsheng Township, and Jia Xianglan assists the township head in charge of industry and investment, which happens to be within her scope of responsibility. Jia Xianglan was very impolite just now, but it was actually reflected at yesterday's meeting.

"Ding Bang", the landline phone rings.

Li Xiaohe picked up the telephone receiver.

Zhou Liang's voice came from the microphone: "I called the village, the village secretary and the village director are not there, some have gone to see a doctor, some have visited relatives in other places, and some have ......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Li Xiaohe hung up the phone and snorted coldly: "A group of slippery heads." "After a round of phone calls, these parties, insiders, and cadres in charge of townships hid and pushed, and none of them were willing to come forward.

Others can push, but they can't hide, the county can wait for themselves to get people, in fact, I used to directly name the township mayor. Li Xiaohe knew that he had no way to hide, so he picked up these papers and walked out of the house.

came to the front vacant lot, the old modern car was already parked there, and the driver was already in place, obviously arranged by Zhou Liang. Li Xiaohe didn't believe that Director Zhou was thoughtful, he understood that this was to let him leave quickly, so that the other party could end the "one or two hours" service.

Sitting in the back seat, Li Xiaohe said "go to the county", and the car quickly jumped out.

……

At half past ten, the "Hyundai" car entered the Siyuan County Party and Government Compound.

Li Xiaohe noticed that on the steps in front of the county government, there were forty or fifty people sitting, looking like villagers, two policemen standing next to them, and four policemen standing side by side at the entrance of the government building.

As soon as the car stopped, someone gathered around and peeked in through the window. When he saw the people getting out of the car, he stepped aside in confusion, clamoring for "asking for money" and "paying back the money", these people didn't know Li Xiaohe.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xiaohe stepped up the steps. The police knew him, and did not intercept or interrogate him, but let him go directly.

After entering the government building, Li Xiaohe walked to the fifth floor.

Secretary Xue Yaohui came out, this time he didn't obstruct it, but said directly: "Go in, the county magistrate is waiting." ”

Li Xiaohe didn't say anything, but raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A male voice was heard.

Pushing open the door, Li Xiaohe walked into the room and went directly to the desk. He found that Qiao Cheng was sitting behind the table, looking at him with a serious face. He didn't take the initiative to see Qiao Cheng, but received a call from Hu Yujing on the way, asking him to come here.

"What's going on? So many people come to petition? Qiao Cheng opened his mouth.

Li Xiaohe stopped his figure and said: "I have just arrived in the township for more than a day, and I don't know about it, and I didn't mention it when I handed it over, I ......."

Qiao Cheng interrupted: "Don't make excuses, just say what to do?" ”

"Before I came to the county, I got the relevant documents and looked at them on the way. Judging from the data, this matter is a bit complicated, because this matter is not a direct entanglement between the villagers and the township, but it is within the jurisdiction of the township. I plan to check with the villagers first to see if this is the case, and then try to do the villagers' work. Li Xiaohe truthfully said what he thought.

"As long as it's a matter of petitioning, how can there be a simple thing, if it's simple, the villagers will still come to the county? At present, there are many national policies to benefit the people, and the burden on the villagers is lighter. However, such incidents as raising funds to borrow money and improperly attracting capital have brought new troubles to the villagers and even increased the burden on the peasants. As leaders of the government at the grassroots level, they must be anxious about what the peasants are anxious about, think about what the peasants think, and do everything possible to solve problems for the peasants, instead of shirking or prevaricating to deal with them. In particular, it is necessary to anticipate some uncertain factors, and make corresponding plans, rather than general 'try to do their best', not only to solve the problem in the end, but also not to let the contradictions intensify. Comrade brother, don't make excuses for failure, but think of ways to succeed. Qiao Cheng said, tapping a few times on the table.

"I didn't make excuses, saying that it was indeed true, I really only went to the township for one day, and it was true that I did not hand over the relevant matters, and there is no definite foolproof coping strategy now." Li Xiaohe said very calmly.

Sighing, Qiao Cheng's tone softened a little: "The Double Festival is approaching, from the central government to the province to the city, the requirements for maintaining social stability are very strict. At this time of year, the situation of maintaining stability is also very severe, especially petitioning matters are more likely to occur in a concentrated manner. The people's demands must be taken seriously, and petitioning matters must not be sloppy. You have just been in the township for a short time, and you are willing not to understand some things, but this cannot be an excuse to shirk forever, you must take the initiative to understand, and come up with countermeasures in advance to eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. Otherwise, what do you want the township cadres to do? How can you become a servant of the people? Again, don't make excuses. Well, I'll ask the government office to help you. With that, Qiao Cheng picked up the phone and dialed out.

Looking at the other party's virtue, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but feel angry, but today was different from that day. That day, the other party was clearly a communiqué personal vendetta, and he did a very unrighteous thing, so he took the opportunity to choke back and talk about the past. Although the other party still has selfish intentions today, after all, it is a business affair on the surface, and if you go-for-tat again, it will be asking for trouble and giving the other party the truth.
