Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting in front of the Personnel Bureau and introduced each other, and Xue Xiang knew that the surname Su was named Su Xinghe, and the surname Liu was Liu Xiu, and the names of the two were celebrities he knew well in his previous life.

After chatting a few words, at the invitation of the director surnamed Su, they got into the car and drove towards Chengtian County. Xue Xiang went out of Beijing to the province, all the way, he didn't want to be public, so he quietly went to the county. If it weren't for the fact that his nominal deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the People's Commune was under the direct management of the county Revolutionary Committee, the county-level administrative district would not have been able to bypass it in any case, and he really wanted to go directly to the commune and take office.

But the mustache has some reason, saying that it is no longer appropriate for us to come down from the ministry and bypass the province, and we can't bypass the region anyway, even if we bypass, the following will be reported, so I simply went to the Personnel Bureau quietly and asked the Personnel Bureau to send cadres to accompany us. Where to know the way, be careful and careful, or let the province know the way, and send someone to come.

Everyone had nothing to say all the way, and when Chengtian County was far away, it was already the time of the sunset.

Chengtian County is an old city, and this place was in the Ming Dynasty, there was a vassal king Chengtian who was lucky and entered Beijing to become the emperor. After the death of his mother, the old queen mother, she was buried in her hometown, so she built the imperial mausoleum in Chengtian County. Therefore, the old city and the imperial tomb have been preserved as a cultural heritage for a long time, and even during the catastrophe, they were not destroyed. As a result, the old city walls and gates are still preserved to this day.

Xue looked through the window, but saw that under the bleak sunset, a mottled and simple city wall stood quietly, and before he got close, he felt that the deep-grained wall was the vicissitudes and heaviness carved by the long years.

The walls are not very tall, two stories up and down; The thickness of the wall, not close to it, is immeasurable, and it is not too thick. After all, Jianghan Province has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, there are few wars, and Chengtian County is in the heart of Jianghan Province, which has not been chaotic for a long time, and the people here do not need to use high walls to increase their sense of security.

When the car finally took Tianxian County, Xue Xiang felt that he was suddenly placed in the movie screen of black and white film. Before that, he went out of the capital and went down to Jianghan, and he traveled a long way, either through mountains and rivers, or through provincial cities and big cities. Although the cities seen along the way are not the same as the thousands of weather in the capital, they all have the pattern and prototype of the city in the future.

But after entering this Chengtian County, Xue Xiang didn't know how to express the feeling in his heart. The vicissitudes and heaviness of the city wall have turned into a deep sigh at this time.

Xue Xiang never thought that the county seat in the seventies would be backward like this, the streets are full of gray and white buildings, high-rise buildings are rare, all the way, only passing by the county radio station, I saw a four-story gray building, which is probably the tallest building in Chengtian County. There are also few pedestrians on the street, and most of them are wearing tattered and old pants, and there are few unpatched.

Xue Xiang stared out the window for a long time, and his heart was so depressed that he was almost out of breath. He was born in the 80s, and he is a happy generation born under the red flag and growing up in the spring breeze. It is also the center of the country and the center of the priority supply of all materials - the capital.

Although even in the current capital, the material abundance seen by the eyes is far less abundant than that of later generations, he has reluctantly achieved a well-off and electrified society by virtue of "speculation" and clever "grabbing". But the backward county town and the poor people in front of him made him feel the specific style of the whole republic in the seventies, and the county seat was still like this, what should the end of his trip be like that small village that sounded like a ravine?

……………

The car stopped in front of a small three-story building with red walls and red tiles, and as soon as everyone got out of the car, they met two middle-aged people. The two middle-aged men were both dressed in navy blue round-necked tunics, one fat and one thin, and there was no doubt that they were government workers looking at their outfits and expressions.

Sure enough, the two walked closer, smiled and said a few words of welcome, and then introduced their identities. Unexpectedly, these two turned out to be members of the county revolutionary committee, the fat one is called Geng Fulin, who is the deputy director of the revolutionary committee in charge of politics and law, and the thin one is Chen Guangming, a member of the revolutionary committee who is the secretary general of the revolutionary committee and the head of the agricultural propaganda group. …,

These two people obviously got the news in advance, and when they came up, they didn't bother to say hello to the cadres at all levels from the central, provincial, and underground levels, and asked directly which one was Comrade Xue, who was going to go down to the mountain.

When Xue Xiang heard this, he had to stand up and say hello to the two, and these two could be said to be his leaders in the future. How can a person under the eaves not bow his head? Rao is his Xue Daguan is invincible in Sijiu City, and when he arrives here, even if he enters the officialdom, he is no longer a free body, everything has to be done according to the rules.

Geng and Chen didn't lead everyone into the building, and said that they would go down to the place first, and then have dinner in the Hujia neighborhood.

There are all human spirits here, which one can't see the joints, Hong Tianfa, Su Chu, and Liu Ke secretly sighed in their hearts, "It's not easy to be an official, people in the channel." These guys all have the same idea, thinking that it is good for Comrade Xue to control this kind of high-quality resources by themselves, and if they are scattered, how can it be effective? Let's show our own powers and operate our own business.

When he heard this, he immediately went down, and the mustache looked at Xue Xiang, meaning that it was up to him to decide, and Xue Xiang had nothing to do. He traveled all the way, and he was tired of constantly changing lanes, no matter how bad the thatched hut in the broken mountain col was, it was better than this body like a tent, floating around. Right now, just nod in agreement.

The mustache's eyes, everyone saw it, and they were more and more sure that this must be the legendary Yanei. Everyone rejoiced in their hearts, how could we have seen such a golden lump in this poor country, this time we have to catch it, hurry up.

The plan has been decided, and everyone is ready to set off, but the green-skinned jeep can't squeeze anyone else anyway. Fortunately, Geng and Chen are both real power figures in Chengtian County, and after a while, they called a motor vehicle, Dongfanghong tractor, which suddenly burst out of black smoke and ran in front of everyone.

………………

In the end, dinner was not eaten in Hujia Street, but it fell to the penultimate stop of Xue Xiang's trip-Kuaihuopu People's Commune. It turned out that the leaders of the district gathered in the happy shop today to discuss the plan of "learning from the Western Jin Dynasty and making land" proposed by the society, but there was no one in the district. Everyone had no choice but to arrive at the commune under the guidance of the district clerk, and the dinner was naturally held in the commune's canteen.

It is said to be a dinner party, but it is nothing more than a gilded statement. In a large dining hall, two large red lacquered tables of eight immortals are set up side by side, and there are six large dishes on the table, which are said to be big dishes, just because the utensils that serve the dishes are really large - all are porcelain basins for washing faces.

In Xue Xiang's opinion, the dinner was not rich, and the six major dishes were actually two meat and four vegetarian, and vegetarian dishes accounted for the majority. The six dishes are a cooked pig's head, a pot of pepper and pork in the water, plus three pots of home-cooked vegetables, and a pot of peanuts mixed with broad beans for wine.

After the dishes were served, most of the people at the table immediately collapsed. It's not that Xue Xiang, Xiaozi, Su Xinghe, Liu Xiu, Hong Tianfa, these guests from afar are hesitant, but the county leaders led by Geng Fulin, Chen Guangming, and others are so cold that they are about to freeze.

Geng Fulin's heart is the most angry, and the officials of Chengtian County here respect him, and he naturally regards himself as half a landlord. But what is the purpose of the Happy Shop Commune to make such a banquet? This is to look good on yourself, no matter how poor you Happy Shop Commune is, can't you even pull out a pig? This is obviously to show his own ugliness? Smash the face of Chengtian County? It's not that Lao Tzu didn't introduce anyone before, you are going to throw the face of Chengtian County all the way from the region and province to the central government!

Geng Fulin was hindered by the mustache and others in front of him, and it was inconvenient for him to have a seizure, so he glared at the cadres of the District Revolutionary Committee with his eyes, his eyes were so bulging that they were about to fly out of his sockets, and his gloomy and sympathetic eyes made everyone in the district tremble.

Liao Xuebing, director of the District Revolutionary Committee, was an old man in his fifties, and when the waiter in the commune canteen put this pot full of radish and cabbage and pigs on the table, the old man's first reaction was that someone had sex with him. When Geng Fulin's vicious eyes swept over, Liao Xuebing was torturing Ma Shankui, the head of the Kuaihuo Shop Commune, with his eyes. …,

The old man is about to explode at this point. Not to mention the leaders of the central and provincial governments, but also the leaders of the local Revolutionary Committee? If you don't grasp this big opportunity, what is this for? I want to smash the cauldron, burn the fire, and dig the ancestral grave of Lao Tzu.

Liao Xuebing has one in fifty today, and he has been the leader of Hujiajie for six or seven years, but there is no one above, and he has been stuck in his current position and cannot enter an inch. When Xiao Liu, the clerk in the district, rushed to the happy shop as soon as possible to inform the big leaders above, not only the county but also the leaders of the region, province and even the central government, the old man's first reaction was that Xiao Liu was suffering from hysteria.

When Dong Fahong took the lead, suddenly, and when he got closer, the old man saw Geng Fulin's black face through the black smoke, and he completely believed Xiao Liu's words. He knew that Director Lu Daogeng loved dough the most, and there was only one jeep in the county, which everyone shared. If the jeep is not idle, Director Geng is riding a bicycle and does not want to lose face by taking a tractor.

At this moment, Director Geng was sitting in Dongfanghong and was smiling, his air was magnificent, and he was not a big leader in the shadowy car behind, so what the hell was it.

After confirming Xiao Liu's words, the old man arranged the reception task as soon as possible. Originally, the welcome ceremony and the briefing were held in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere, and everything was developing in the direction of goodness. Liao Xuebing was also very happy, Director Geng and Committee Member Chen's eyes became softer and softer, and the big fat director of that area smiled and patted himself on the shoulder, the upper route was about to be connected, and the door to promotion had already opened a gap.

A pot of pigs went down to the table, snapped and cut the line that had just been taken, and closed the door that opened the gap.

The old man was so angry that his eyes turned black at this time, and the loss was also tested for a long time, and he knew that he was angry in public because he was isolated from the world, so he didn't lift the table, smash the chair, and scold.
