Although Feng Changping is retired, because he has not yet entered the cadre rest center to rest, the organizational relationship is still in the planning department, and he receives his retirement allowance at the beginning of each month, and he has to go to the office to pay the party dues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's been a long time since I've been retired, and most of the directors and deputy directors in the ministry Feng Changping still know each other, and some of the other young cadres can be named, and most of them are unfamiliar faces. Every time he paid the party dues to the head of the party group, if Qiu Zhengliang did not have a meeting or had other urgent matters to do, he would go to the office of the successor minister to sit for a while and say hello or have a conversation.

Feng Changping had paid the party dues today, and when he heard the secretary say that Qiu Zhengliang was reading the documents, he entered his office.

Qiu Zhengliang has always respected Feng Changping very much, he asked the secretary to make a cup of tea for Feng Changping, and asked the old minister with a smile: "How is your health lately?" It's still 'a bed wide with nothing to do in my heart, and I sleep until the sunrise mountain.' ’？ ”

Feng Changping also smiled and said: "Wang Xiaoer's New Year, every year is not as good as a year, and his body in recent years is not as good as before: tears in the wind, peeing and nourishing the instep, lying down and falling asleep, sitting and dozing off." ”

"It is a natural law that people are aging year by year, and the key is to have a good attitude and maintain good living habits."

Qiu Zhengliang comforted Feng Changping.

"You're right, a good mindset is the most needed nutrient in a person's body, and good lifestyle habits are the lubricant for the proper functioning of all parts of the body. For the elderly, the years ahead are a limited balance for human survival, and one cent will be less than one cent. Therefore, it is necessary to make careful calculations, make reasonable arrangements, not to spend all of them, let alone overdraw, and to continuously improve the quality of life and strive for health and longevity. ”

Feng Changping saw that Qiu Zhengliang was listening carefully to what he was saying, and then said:

"Retired veteran cadres like us have less and less desire for material possession and greater need for spiritual comfort. In addition to the care of the organization and the care of the family, communication and understanding with other people are also an important part of the spiritual life of the elderly. It turns out that the old comrades-in-arms miss each other, so everyone gets together and chats; Later, it was changed to a phone call, but I didn't see him, I only heard his voice; It's good now, I don't call anymore, and during the New Year's holidays, I either ask my children to send a text message. Advanced contact methods have separated people from each other's hearts more and more, the original comrades-in-arms are in their hearts, and then the names are written down in the phone book, and now the information is stored in the mobile phone, some people lose their mobile phones, and the only remaining comrade-in-arms is gone. ”

Qiu Zhengliang agreed with Feng Changping's words, and said worriedly: "I will soon join your team, people of our level, after retirement, they will not worry about food and clothing, they are not afraid of getting sick, they have a house to live in, they have money to spend, they are the most depressed, and they are most afraid of loneliness." However, I am mentally prepared to re-establish a life circle that suits me after retirement, including participating in some public welfare activities and cultivating personal hobbies. ”

"Your idea is very good, I just recently enrolled in the University for the Elderly, mainly studying calligraphy and painting, I think it is very interesting, and my life is very fulfilling. I'm going to mobilize my wife to study with me, so that she doesn't feel lonely at home when I go to class. ”

"Speaking of this, I remembered one thing, the ministry originally planned to conduct rotation training for young cadres in the research institute recently, but Qiao Xinan was going to study at the National Defense University for three months, because he was the main focus of this matter, so he had to postpone it. Qiao Xinan may not have had time to tell you about it, but in the two rotational training classes for young cadres, I would like to ask you to give a lecture on carrying forward the revolutionary tradition. Qiu Zhengliang said to Feng Changping seriously.

Feng Changping listened to Qiu Zhengliang's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The old routine will not work, and now some young people are the most reluctant to listen to the old man talk about the past, and the main contradiction between the children and parents of many families is that the speaker always wants to say it intentionally, and the listener has no intention of wanting to hear it." ”

Qiu Zhengliang knew that Feng Changping's words were both modest and helpless, so he did work for him and said: "I thought so before, but later I felt that it was wrong. Back then, when you told us about the old traditions, you were confident, but now when we tell young people about the old traditions, we are a little lacking in confidence, and we are always afraid that they will not like to listen to them. Talking about tradition is not to let the people of the present do the things of the past, but to let them inherit and carry forward the spirit of their ancestors. ”

"What you said is very reasonable, but many things now make sense in theory, but they don't work in practice. An important root cause of this phenomenon is that some leaders themselves are not upright and cannot be upright, so that they have become two skins: truth and reality. For example, some party members in society are not like party members, they are just 'good products' among party members; some cadres are not like cadres, they do not want to do things, they just want to 'make progress'. In fact, they understand some truths better than anyone else, and for individual leaders, recording what they said at the conference is a good political textbook; Listing what they did in private is the facts of the crime with conclusive evidence. ”

Feng Changping was a little angry when he said these words.

Qiu Zhengliang persuaded Feng Changping and said: "There is a saying called 'less fear, greed, and old fear', the old minister should not be angry with some undesirable phenomena in society, isn't the top now determined to reverse it!" There are some things we can't manage outside, and we strive to do a good job in the things under our jurisdiction, and we can't do it as well as we want, but we want to be worthy of my heart. Those of us who have received positive education all our lives and taught others from the front, will not have two hearts for the country and the organization under any circumstances, no matter how big the wind and rain, we will walk all the way to the end of the world. I am like this, I usually grasp a few principles in life: sometimes if it is not convenient to tell the truth, at least you can't tell lies; There are some things that we have to think about ourselves, but we must not harm others; Do not push what subordinates and other comrades can do, and do not blow about what cannot be done. ”

"I agree with what you say." Feng Changping nodded, and then asked Qiu Zhengliang, "Just now you said that Qiao Xinan was going to study at the National Defense University, why haven't I heard him talk about it?" ”

"I just received the notice yesterday, and he must not have had time to tell you yet." Qiu Zhengliang replied.

"Cadres who go to study at the National Defense University are generally pre-selected objects, is Qiao Xinan going to take over your class?"

"It's not easy to tell." Qiu Zhengliang said with a smile, "The Planning Department has a good tradition that employing people not only depends on talent, but also on morality, which you know better than me." When Qiao Xinan was the deputy director and director of the bureau, he had a high prestige among the masses, and he would not send valuables to the leader's house to achieve his personal goals. I also appreciate Qiao Xin'an, that is, when he says that he does not let off empty cannons, if he takes out his heart and weighs it on the scale, you will find that it is the same weight as what he said. He has said more than once that many aspects of him have been learned from you, the old minister. When the higher-level leaders asked me for my opinion on the new minister, I recommended Qiao Xin'an, and I was very happy to hear that he was going to study at the National Defense University, but this does not mean that he must be the new minister. You know, now there are overcrowds on the official road, there are often traffic jams, there are too many people in society who do not walk according to the routine, and the most hateful thing is that some people do not obey the traffic rules, and they are randomly congested and overtaken. ”

Feng Changping said with emotion: "You are very right, if the inspection and appointment of cadres are handled by the 'organization' in accordance with principles and if the opinions of the masses are taken seriously, things will be handled more fairly and fairly, and the masses will generally not be wrong in looking at the cadres, and the key is that the opinions of some leaders are more important than the opinions of the organizations, or if the opinions of individuals appear in the form of 'organizations,' then some problems will be inevitable." A leader has a leader's likes and dislikes, just like some people want to roll out the noodles and soak them to eat, and some people want to iron the instant noodles and cook them. Because of this, some people are accustomed to doing what they like in front of different leaders, and some of them gain power because of their own merits, and some are favored because of their own shortcomings, and these people are the ones that the masses hate the most. ”

"The old minister sees the problem very sharply, and his words are also very harsh, and there are some things that we can only say in private, committing a bit of liberalism." Qiu Zhengliang smiled and said to Feng Changping, "If you want to know the way up the mountain, you have to ask the people who come down the mountain." There are some things that I will continue to ask you about, but I will stop talking about the topic I have just talked about, and I will not talk about it in the future, and it will be the same old saying: believe in the organization, believe in the party, and now we have seen the signs that the top leadership of the party and the state is determined to 'get rid of chaos and return to normal.'" ”

Feng Changping looked at his watch and felt that it was not too early, and Qiu Zhengliang still had a large stack of documents in front of him that he hadn't read, so he got up and said goodbye.
