Shi Shubao is a simple person, thin and small, and his appearance is not good, if he walks on the street, the man will feel pity when he looks at him, thinking that he is malnourished; A woman will feel at a loss if she looks at it more, and she feels that she has wasted her eyes.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of nicknames, and people are afraid of walking small roads. Over the years, Shi Shubao has been honest and sincere according to the education of others and the creed he pursues, which can be said to have tasted the bitter and sweet and experienced the vicissitudes of the world. Of course, this is not only because he has the nickname "honest head", but through this nickname with vigorous vitality, it reflects his position as an honest person in society, and the trajectory of his actions that he will inevitably leave behind on the road of life.
Shi Shubao originally served as a soldier in the guard company of a military department of a certain military region for several years, and was later promoted to platoon commander, and later became an assistant in the military logistics department. Once, a new assistant asked an old assistant: "Others say that Assistant Shi is honest, what kind of honest method is he?" ”
The old assistant said, "You wait, I'll let you see it with your own eyes." ”
After a while, it happened that Shi Shubao came over, and the old assistant called out to him.
"Xiaoshi, I'm sorry! You borrowed me ten dollars last month------" said the old assistant.
Shi Shubao was inexplicable, looked embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Yes, how can I ------"
"It's okay, if you don't have money on hand now, you'll talk about it later, and I'm not in a hurry to use it anyway." The old assistant pretended to be very generous.
"No, no, I'll give it to you now." Shi Shubao said, and he was about to take out the money from his pocket.
The old assistant laughed: "I'm playing a joke on you." ”
Shi Shubao's face flushed, and he was very unhappy, but he didn't say anything, he was such a temper who would rather sit and be beaten than stand and fight back.
When others began to call Shi Shubao "honest head", it should be said that it was a compliment to his usual behavior, and this nickname was almost as valuable as some honorary titles. In fact, in those years, among the cadres of the military department, Shi Shubao received the most awards for meritorious service, became advanced, and became models. At that time, the positions of the staff officers and assistants in the organs were not clear, unlike now, where regimental posts, battalion posts, and company posts are clearly divided, and the depth of qualifications of personnel in unclear posts mainly depends on their administrative ranks, and Shi Shubao is at a higher level than the ordinary cadres who enlisted in the army at the same time, because the organization gave him a 1 percent target for early promotion. After working in the military department for a few years, Shi Shubao was transferred to the leading organ of the Beijing army as an assistant, and he was transferred to the leading organ with him, and he was nicknamed "honest head."
Few people now know what "feats" the "honest head" did back then, and older comrades may still vaguely remember two or three things about him.
One day, Shi Shubao went to a unit stationed in Fangshan, a suburb of Beijing, to run errands, and after the matter was done, he had a meal at the unit. On Sunday, he spent most of the day, spent eight cents on bus tickets, and went to the army to pay two cents and four taels of food stamps.
Shi Shubao works in the comprehensive coordination department of the business department of the organ, and there are many things to do and a lot of overtime. Every time someone who works overtime at night, a young assistant will generally be sent to receive the extra meal in the canteen according to the capitation standard after dinner, and then take it back to the office to make up for it after the overtime. Some of the assistants received a more sumptuous meal, including bread, ham, and sometimes beer. The additional meals received by Shi Shubao are always not as good as those received by others, nor are they as good as those received by others, generally steamed buns, salted duck eggs and soft drinks.
At that time, the second-level department of the organ was not called the bureau, but called the department, a deputy director once said to Shi Shubao: "Xiaoshi, now the standard of extra meals is relatively low, everyone reflects that they can be received according to the head, and they can't eat enough every time, and in the future, you will write three people as five people on the overtime list, and five people as eight people, and it will be enough to eat more, and I will sign the list for you to receive night meals when the time comes." ”
Shi Shubao only recognized the dead and did not recognize the living, and said resolutely: "That's not good, isn't this a fraud!" ”
The deputy director kindly instructed him, but he turned out to be blushing. However, the deputy director was not angry, and said to others afterwards: "Shi Shubao is a good comrade and an honest man." ”
With just such trivial things, it is impossible for Shi Shubao to win so many honors. For an honest person like him, it is impossible to be opportunistic in doing work, and it is impossible to deceive superiors and subordinates in doing things, and the words "diligent" and "conscientious" are the most appropriate for them. At that time, the masses supported this kind of person, and the leaders liked this kind of person, so Shi Shubao was able to go all the way up the spring breeze and move straight up, and was transferred from the grassroots army to the headquarters organ.
Many years have passed, the stars have changed, things have changed, what has not changed is Shi Shubao's nature, in the face of fame and flashiness, the world of flowers, he is still indifferent, calm attitude, or calm as water, peace of mind. Between comrades, when talking, I can't wait to take out all my internal organs and show them to others; When I was doing things, my heart and eyes were still like an iron lump. What the leader has said and what he has explained, he has listened to it with unswerving conviction and done it to the letter, if any leader says: "honest head" should be drowned. He must have asked for one more question: whether to let me jump into the Yellow River or let me throw into the Yangtze River.
However, Shi Shubao gradually felt that he was stumbling on the road of life and always couldn't go well, and he didn't know if the road under his feet was overturned, or his two legs were wrong.
Shi Shubao is serious and meticulous in the troops and organs where he has worked are well-known, there is a leader who likes to take him on business trips, he is serious and meticulous, and rarely makes mistakes. Once, this leader led the working group to the troops, and the members of the working group also included Shi Shubao. Comrades in the unit reported to the working group that grassroots cadres are poorly paid and have difficulties in their daily lives. The leader felt strange and asked the comrades of the troops: "The salaries of military cadres are the same, the prices in big cities are high, and the cadres of government organs are still living comfortably, but in small places prices are low, how can the lives of grassroots cadres be difficult?" ”
Shi Shubao was transferred from the grassroots units, and he knew the actual situation below, so he said a few words on the side: "There are some places where the grassroots units and the organs cannot be compared, and the organs divide rice and apples in the winter and watermelon drinks in the summer, and some leaders also have a box of vegetables and two cartons of milk at home every week, and this does not include the things that the troops give away openly and secretly. There is no such condition at the grassroots level, and the food is used, and the same cannot be bought at home without money. Moreover, it is not surprising that the localities where the grass-roots units are stationed generally have little social support, and it is not surprising that some cadres' lovers have no jobs with the army, and their children have to pay sponsorship for schooling, and they cannot make ends meet financially, so it is not surprising that their lives are difficult. ”
Shi Shubao suddenly exposed so many phenomena that could only be understood and could not be spoken, and the leader showed a displeased look on his face, and his pumpkin face turned into a zucchini.
Later, this leader didn't want to take Shi Shubao on a business trip anymore.
There are relatively many business trips for cadres of government agencies, and it turns out that it is their husbands and fathers who go to the army to tickle -- official affairs are done on official business, and getting along with people is also a gentleman's friendship, which is as light as water, and this "water" is boiled water, not tea water, and even if someone can drink tea water, it is also personal tea leaves, and there is absolutely no public tea bucket in the office. Please eat, drink, and give gifts, that is a later thing.
Later, the cadres of the organs went down to the grassroots troops, and some things made Shi Shubao feel unnatural.
At the end of his work, the leader of the unit went to his room in the guest house, handed him an envelope and said: "I wanted to buy you some souvenirs, but I don't know what to buy, so you can watch and buy it yourself!" ”
Shi Shubao knew that the envelope contained money, so he hurriedly waved his hand in fright.
The two of them tugged for a long time, and seeing that the other party would not give up if he did not achieve his goal, Shi Shubao reluctantly accepted the envelope. After returning to the office, he quickly handed the envelope to his director, and the department in the office was later changed to a bureau, and his director was the deputy director who originally said that "Shi Shubao is a good comrade".
A unit wrote a request to the organ, asking for part of the subsidy to be solved, and Shi Shubao actively coordinated according to the leader's instructions and quickly facilitated the matter. One night, this unit sent someone to the office to express his gratitude, leaving 1,000 yuan at Shi Shubao's house, and Shi Shubao handed over the money to his director on the same day.
Shi Shubao's behavior was praised by the director and questioned by some people.
A person said to others in front of Shi Shubao: "I recently saw a news in the newspaper, saying that there was a person who had received a lot of money from others many times, and in order to make excuses for himself in the future, he handed over some of the money to the organization. ”
That person's words may not have been specifically addressed to Shi Shubao, but Shi Shubao seemed to feel the cold eyes of ridicule around him, and the flow of suspicion, his face felt feverish compared to the fact that he had really received a lot of money from others, and his heart felt miserable than if he had really received a lot of money from others.
There are many similar things, drinking ice water in the cold, dripping in my heart, and the bitterness in my heart is only clear to Shi Shubao himself. (To be continued.) )
