The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2

That afternoon, Yuxiu received a call from Bai Yu, saying that Deputy Secretary Pan wanted Chen Jie to go to the commune, and Bai Yu did not know the specific situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, when Yuxiu went to find Chen Jie, the people in the team said that he had gone to the commune. Yuxiu was afraid that Chen Jie had never been to the commune, and the people there were not familiar with it, and if something went wrong, it would be difficult to solve it, so she didn't even go back to the radio room, so she went directly to the commune.

When I arrived at the commune radio station, the door was open, but I didn't see the white owl. Yuxiu saw that the door of the administrative secretary's house next door was open, and when she looked around, she saw Chen Jie sitting alone in the room, so she said, "Why are you sitting here alone?" ”

Chen Jie said, "Director Wu of the office asked me to wait for him here. ”

Yuxiu asked, "Have you seen Deputy Director Pan?" ”

Chen Jie said, "See, he asked me to find Director Wu." ”

Yuxiu asked, "Deputy Secretary Pan didn't speak to you?" ”

Chen Jie said, "No. ”

At this time, Director Wu entered the house with a bunch of materials. When he saw that Yuxiu was also in the house, he asked, "Sister Xiu, what are you doing?" ”

Yuxiu immediately said, "I came to look for Bai Meizi, but I didn't see her." ”

Director Wu asked Yuxiu to sit on the edge of the bed, and then walked to the desk, threw some manuscript paper and a large pile of materials in his arms in front of Chen Jie, and took out a pen and a bottle of ink from the drawer and put them on the table, his face was so flat, and said to Chen Jie, "From now on, you will be the correspondent of Honghua Commune." ”

When Yuxiu heard this, she was so happy in her heart. thought that Chen Jie would never have to go back to the production team to work in the fields again. But Chen Jie didn't know that Yuxiu had come to Deputy Secretary Pan for this reason, and thought that he could come here because his article was well written, which made the commune leaders take a fancy to him, so he was transferred. Moreover, the commune is all one office and accommodation for one person. The quilts and sheets on the beds are provided by the government. This naturally made him happy. He said to Director Wu, "Then I'll work here?" ”

However, before Chen Jie could laugh, Director Wu said with a gloomy face, "Little Chen, don't be too happy, this newsletter and reporting work has hard tasks every month and every quarter, and the county party committee has to conduct an assessment and evaluation every year." Because there is no correspondent in Honghua Commune, the rate of submission of newsletter reports and briefing information has ranked last in the county for two consecutive years, and it has been criticized by the county party committee, and Secretary Xu lost his temper because of this. The Commune wants you to come over and change the status quo. After a while, I will ask Bai Meizi to bring you the assessment task in the county, and you must find a way to complete it. ”

Yuxiu saw that Chen Jie's face suddenly became grim, her brows were about to twist into a pimple, and she couldn't help but sweat for Chen Jie, afraid that he would have some thoughts. At this time, she saw Chen Jie looking at her, as if he was looking for something. Because Director Wu was in front of her, she couldn't speak, so she hinted with her eyes that she wanted him to cheer up. So, Chen Jie blinked his eyes for a while, and said hesitantly, "Otherwise, I'll try first." ”

However, Director Wu said sternly, "What are you trying? Monthly and quarterly tasks must be completed. Ugly words are ahead, give you three months, you can't get results, no wonder the leader's face is ugly. After speaking, he didn't listen to Chen Jie's reply, so he said to Yuxiu, "Let's go, come and sit with me." ”

Yuxiu followed Director Wu out of the administrative secretary's room and came to Director Wu's house. At this time, Director Wu seemed to be a different person, making tea and giving up his seat, with a gentle smile. So, Yuxiu said to Director Wu, "You were so fierce to Chen Jie just now, it made me feel scared. ”

Director Wu said, "There is no way, the leaders of the county party committee said at the meeting that a lot of work has been done in Honghua Commune, there is no sound in the loudspeaker, and there is no shadow in the newspaper, which makes Secretary Xu very angry." Therefore, Secretary Xu said that he should put more pressure on Xiao Chen and let him get results quickly. ”

Yuxiu said, "Chen Jie is a member of our Chaling Brigade, you have to take care of it." ”

Director Wu said, "No problem. ”

After talking and drinking a cup of tea, Yuxiu thought that Chen Jie must be under a lot of psychological pressure at this time, and wanted to comfort him a few words, so she hurriedly left Director Wu's office and went to find Chen Jie. However, Chen Jie's door was closed, and when she opened the door, there was no one inside, and then she went to look for the white eagle, but the white eagle was not there, and seeing that the time was not early, she hurriedly walked back. Coincidentally, as soon as she walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw a walk-behind tractor going to the Luojiang grain depot. She immediately beckoned, and the driver stopped the car and let her get into the car.

Coming to the grain depot and getting off the tractor, she walked along the Luojiang embankment towards the Chaling Brigade. Looking at the flowing river and the cool breeze blowing, thinking that Chen Jie would no longer have to work in the fields from now on, she didn't say how happy she was in her heart. As soon as I was in a good mood, I couldn't help but sing the song "Tea Picking" that the guests loved to sing:

My little lover,

Do things so flustered,

Picking betel nuts on the trees,

tearing new clothes;

My little lover,

Don't weep for a long time,

Crying bad looks good,

It makes me so sad.

Back at the brigade headquarters, the sun was about to set. Because of the hot weather, she walked so much and sweated a lot, so she brought a basin of hot water from the canteen to wash her face.

At this time, Chen Jie came back, with a bitter face. Yuxiu was very surprised and said, "Why did you come back?"

Chen Jie hung his head very low, as if he had just escaped from the battlefield, stood in front of her, and said for a long time, "Bai Yu gave me the county's news and information assessment task assignment form." The Honghua Commune has to publish three articles a month on the county radio station, and at least one article in a newspaper at or above the district level. However, when I used to go to school, I wrote general essays, and I didn't really understand what was called a report or what was an information. How do you say I'm going to get things done? ”

When Yuxiu heard this, her head hurt. She knew that it was difficult to write articles for radio stations, and even harder to write articles for newspapers. She knew a lot of people in the commune, but she had never heard of anyone whose articles had been published in the newspapers. However, if the article was not so difficult to write, how could the position of correspondent be empty until now? Who will wait for him to do it?

She poured the washing water outside, made another basin of warm water for Chen Jie to wash his face, made him a cup of tea, served it in front of him, and then said to him in a persuasive tone, "The correspondent is a semi-full-time cadre of the commune, although he still gets the work of the team, but at least he doesn't have to work in the field anymore." It's hard to write an article, but it's better than working in a team. ”

Chen Jie washed his face and explained, "I also know that this opportunity is rare, and I don't want to stay in the team." But I really couldn't do that. ”

Yuxiu said, "Your article about the deeds of Team Nine is not very well written, and it is still broadcast throughout the county." ”

But Chen Jie said, "My article was completely based on an article in the newspapers that Huang Gehui gave me. ”

Yuxiu said, "Since you can write the first article according to the cat and the tiger, why can't you write the second and third articles according to the cat and the tiger?" ”

Chen Jie was silent for a while, but still looked very embarrassed, and said, "The content format of the article and the article is different, although my article has been reported on the county radio, but it is difficult to publish the article in a regional newspaper." I've heard of people who have worked hard all their lives and never published an article in the newspaper. ”

Yuxiu said, "You can try to do it first, do it well, and stay in the commune; If you can't do it, you can go back to the team to work. ”

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "I said I could try." But Director Wu said that he was not allowed to take the test, and the results must be released. ”

Yuxiu was a little anxious, so she said, "Then you haven't tried yet, how do you know that you can't do it?" ”

Chen Jie was silent.

Yuxiu patiently said to Chen Jie, "Didn't Director Wu say that if you want to give you three months, you really can't make achievements, and it's not too late to come back." At least you don't have to work in the fields for three months. ”

Chen Jie looked crying and said embarrassedly, "Isn't that to delay other people's affairs?" Besides, it's a shame to come back then. ”

Yuxiu walked up to him, took the tea and handed it to him, and said, "At that time, you may not be able to come back." Then, he said, "This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it." You have done a good job in the past, and if something really happens, I will find someone to find a way. I know the deputy secretary of the commune well. When you go to the commune to be a correspondent, it is the love between me and Bai Yu to find Deputy Secretary Pan. ”

When Chen Jie heard this, his expression immediately changed, and his eyes lit up suddenly, he nodded while saying to Yuxiu, "Since I have Deputy Secretary Pan to help, why should I worry?" It's just that you have spent so much effort for me, how can I be grateful for repaying it? ”

Yuxiu saw that Chen Jie began to be happy, and her mood immediately improved. She said, "You've done my brother and our family so much, and what kind of thing I'm doing." If you want to be grateful and repay, do a good job of making a name for yourself. ”

Chen Jie said, "I will work hard, but when I leave, I can't come to see you every day." ”

Hearing this, Yuxiu felt quite uncomfortable in her heart. She knew that as soon as Chen Jie left, they would no longer be able to chat, laugh, play the harmonica, and tell stories together at night. She wants to go back to the monotonous and boring life of the past. But as long as he no longer suffers and suffers, she is willing to give up these. So, she said to Chen Jie, "When you go to the commune, you have to work with peace of mind, and I will go over to see you when I have time." ”

Chen Jie nodded repeatedly, then drank all the water in the cup, and said, "I'll go back to the commune, and you can watch my actions." ”
