After a long silence, Wu Longqiu stood up and said, "Secretary Tian, I agree with your opinion, uphold the original decision, and no matter what, you can't let Qin Zhongliang be the captain anymore." Otherwise, how can our leaders establish their prestige among the masses? ”

"I'm thinking about it now, and I haven't expressed my position yet, how can you impose your opinion on me and say it's mine?" Secretary Tian said to Wu Longqiu. Wu Longqiu slapped the horse's hooves and was bounced back.

"I still think it's more appropriate to let Qin Zhongliang continue to be the captain, he has strong ability, outstanding achievements, and a good mass base. As for the issue of privately dividing the grain, I suggest that the masses be persuaded to hand over the part of the grain that has been divided but not counted in the distribution account to the production team for collective reserves. In this way, not only did we redeem some of the influence, but we also had to explain it to our superiors. Dong Weimin said.

"Hmm!" Secretary Tian nodded slightly.

"I disagree! You are trying to find a way to exonerate Qin Zhongliang! Wu Longqiu retorted to Dong Weimin.

"Bastard! This is the discussion stage, where you can express your own opinions, what can't you say? Isn't it the last resolution? Secretary Tian reprimanded Wu Longqiu, "Deputy Secretary Dong, continue to say what you think!" ”

"I just expressed my personal opinion for everyone's reference, and it provoked the Minister of Propaganda to be so furious. I'm pretending to be deaf and dumb, how do you decide how I do it, okay? Dong Weimin said to Wu Longqiu.

The room was quiet again, and everyone's heartbeat did not slow down.

"It's a meeting, it's a discussion of work, it's not a place for ruffians to beat up and make noise! They all sat down and spoke calmly. Secretary Tian said to the two.

"It's hard to collect it when it's covered with water!" Si Guijun, a member of the two committees of the commune and the head of the armed forces, said, "As a production captain, it is indeed not easy for Qin Zhongliang to make such a huge change in Daqinzhuang in a short period of time, and he has also won a lot of honor for our commune, so it is a pity not to let him do it." According to Deputy Secretary Dong's opinion, are they willing to let the masses take the grain that has entered the warehouse? The commune's decision to punish is already known to women and children, how can it be withdrawn? Will Qin Zhongliang refuse to accept it now? ”

"Daqinzhuang is a typical and exemplary commune, how can you change the captain casually? In case the above is investigated, we are all responsible. ”

"There are more than 500 people in Daqinzhuang, and the captain has changed, in case it regresses to the situation a few years ago, people's hearts are disheartened, I am afraid that it is not advanced, and it is going to lag behind, and the gradually decreasing number of bachelors may be increasing day by day."

"Isn't it okay to change the disposition? Why be so rigid? ”

The participants in the meeting had their own opinions.

"Do what you think." Secretary Tian said, "I thought about it initially and decided to write it like this: Qin Zhongliang, the captain of the Daqinzhuang production team of the Liu Qin Brigade, privately divided the grain with bran in the grain distribution in the noon season this year, and it was not counted in the accounts, and there was a mistake in concealing the output, but considering that he could rescue in time, did not cause the loss of mildew and corruption, and the quantity was not large, he was given a serious warning and exempted from punishment. Below are the inscriptions and seals of the commune, as well as the date, year, month, and day. ”

"Okay, okay!" Everyone praised and said, "Secretary Tian's style is almost ashamed of the secretary!" ”

"How dare you! How dare you! Let's let the secretary revise it and send it to Secretary Qin, so as to stabilize the mood of the people in Daqinzhuang as soon as possible. Secretary Tian said modestly.

An indecisive meeting of the two committees of the Commune ended.

With the sword above, Secretary Qin felt that things were much easier. After discussing it with Liu Mingyuan and Wu Wei, he decided not to show the sword above when it was not necessary.

They came to Daqinzhuang to find Bao Lian and test whether he had changed. Bao Lian still has a tough attitude, and even if the three of them wear out their mouths, they don't recognize the money for this pot of wine.

"The masses trust you and you don't want to do it, so who do you think can be a good captain? Let's go to him. Qin Shengli said to Bao Lian.

"I don't know what to do. Who's you like! Bao Lian said.

"You don't say who can be the captain well, we will set it on you according to the opinions of the masses, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it if you don't do it, from today on, you don't call the masses to work in the fields and cause all the losses and all the consequences caused by you will be responsible." Qin Shengli said, "You don't want to recommend individuals, we can only report to our superiors truthfully and let them send someone to deal with it?" Qin Shengli pushed Liu Mingyuan and Wu Wei to prepare to leave.

"Don't ...... Don't leave! "I recommend you to be the captain, can you really not keep an eye on me?" ”

"Of course! You'd rather die than do it, what can we do? I have to do other people's work, and I can't let the crops in the field go unmanaged and be barren for a long time, right? ”

"Can you say anyone?" Bao Lian asked.

"Anyone can do it? Do you think it's to buy turnips and cabbage, and to buy it in the basket is the vegetable? Recommend someone who is incompetent to give me an advanced team and make a mess that can't end up, and I still hold you responsible! Qin Shengli said solemnly.

"Can anyone say anything?" Bao Lian asked timidly.

"As long as it's not ***, you have the ability to make production better and better!" Qin Shengli still maintained a serious attitude and said sharply.

"Qin ...... Qin ......, "Bao Lian thought in his heart, Qin Zhongliang didn't dare to say it.

"Qin, what Qin?" Qin Shengli asked sharply, "Are you stuttering, or are you dumb?" Can't say a name for a long time? ”

"Qin Zhongliang!" Bao Lian pretended to be bold and said loudly, "Only Qin Zhongliang can do it well!" ”

"Secretary Qin, you are too serious! Scared of Bao Lian, it's strange that Qin Changgeng doesn't look for you to settle accounts! Liu Mingyuan laughed out loud.

"You're not scared, are you?" Qin Shengli patted Baolian's shoulder and said kindly, "Follow the person you trust!" Qin Shengli himself smiled.

"Which one of you are singing, one will be so serious that it will scare people to death like Lord Yama, and the other will laugh loudly like a person who has nothing to do?" Bao Lian asked puzzled.

Qin Shengli said the decision of yesterday's commune meeting. Bao Lian woke up from his dream and said happily: "Great, there is hope for Daqinzhuang again!" ”

"You can help us gather the members, and we will announce the decision of the commune yesterday at the mass meeting, okay?" Qin Shengli said to Bao Lian.

"Okay! I'll be the captain for three minutes for Brother Zhongliang first. Bao Lian walked out of the door and called for a meeting. Qin Shengli, Liu Mingyuan, and Wu Wei walked towards the venue.

"Let's all go to yesterday's place for a meeting, Secretary Qin announced an important decision!" Bao Lian Manzhuang shouted.

"Bao Lian, this kid is taking office? I didn't want to do it yesterday, why did I accept it all night and be full of energy? ”

"It is the officials who are stronger than the people. Who wouldn't want to do it? There are still people who want to bring Qin Zhongliang down and take him seriously! It's a pity that he can't do it, no one chooses him! Unpopular stuff! A bad stomach! ”

"Such people are poisoned! I don't choose him, I choose someone else, I choose him, I am not happy! ”

"Bao Lian can't do it better than Zhongliang, but it can guarantee food."

"If that thing becomes this official, I'm afraid it will go back to the year of 60!"

"It would be nice if I could do it loyalistly! Half a year, a year changes. Alas! It's a shame to let a straw trip over! Can't get up! ”

"Let's go, let's go to a meeting, and hear what important decisions are made!"

"What important decision? The fart of the leader is also an important decision, which has a greater impact than the common people! ”

“……”

Groups of people arrived at the venue, looking for a place to sit or wander.

"Everyone, please be quiet, the long-awaited good news and good moment are coming, please give a report to our leader Secretary Qin, welcome!" Bao Lian stood at the meeting hall and said.

There was no applause below, only a pair of eyes that couldn't guess, couldn't tell, and were confused.

"Fellow villagers, the long-delayed candidate for the production captain has finally been approved by the superiors, who do you guess he is?" Qin Shengli looked at the disappointed expressions of the crowd, and asked everyone in a mysterious way, wanting to change the atmosphere of the venue.

It's still deserted below, as if nothing happened.

"It is Comrade Qin Zhongliang who the leaders believe in and you trust!" As soon as Secretary Qin's words fell, thunderous applause rang out from the audience, which lasted for a long time.

"Be quiet, be quiet!" Wu Wei said to the masses.

The applause below stopped.

"I will now follow the script and talk about the opinions of the two committees of the commune on Qin Zhongliang's handling yesterday, and I believe that everyone will be satisfied after listening to it." Qin Shengli read the revisions made by the commune, and there was applause again, and the hearts of the masses finally fell.

After Qin Zhongliang went through the painful experience of being arrested and released twice, and life and death hanging by a thread, his heart was like frost, and his heart was like bitter courage, and he was unwilling to accept this post, and under the persuasion of the leading cadres, he reluctantly agreed to come down under the persuasion of the leading cadres under the voluntary return of five catties of grain from each person's account and their ardent demand. A storm caused by the separation of chaff and water grain has finally settled.
