Turning Positive (4)

"It's a big deal, I'm not doing it!" It is a sentence that Zheng Liang often says in front of his wife after encountering something unpleasant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't put much in his ears what his wife said, but he put a lot of food in his stomach when his wife cooked. When he was full and drunk, he burped, wiped his mouth, and dropped a sentence: "I'm not at home for dinner!" And he went out of the house again.

My wife shook her head helplessly, she knew that Zheng Liang couldn't listen to some of her words, but she couldn't help but want to say, alas, people are so weird.

People who are not familiar with Zheng Liang sometimes don't understand his speech and demeanor, but his wife knows him too well, and of course she doesn't care too much about his attitude.

Once, Zheng Liang drank too much wine outside, his face was flushed, and he staggered a little when he walked.

"Have you eaten?" His wife stepped forward to hold him and asked.

"The meal was finished, but there was nothing else in my stomach except alcohol." Zheng Liang replied unhappily.

"I'll go cook you some more food."

"No way!" Zheng Liang grabbed his wife and said, "Those people are poor and generous, it cost more than 2,000 yuan to invite us to a table of meals, and he spent money to not let others eat enough, so let you cook again to make up for them, it's too cheap for them." ”

My wife said: "Hungry stomachs grow on your body, how can I cook for you and eat them cheaply?" ”

"That's not going to work either!" Zheng Liang said with bloodshot eyes.

Zheng Liang just admits death.

Once, after Zheng Liang attended an on-site meeting, he brought back an umbrella issued by the conference team to each delegate, which was of poor quality and fell off several parts after a few uses.

"This kind of umbrella is also distributed at the meeting organized by the military region!" The wife said to Zheng Liang angrily.

"How good an umbrella can you use for a two-day meeting? If it hadn't rained, I wouldn't have let them buy it! ”

"Oh! It turned out that you were greedy for cheap to buy this broken umbrella, and you threw it away! My wife yelled.

"It's a pity to throw it away, you go to the stall outside the camp gate to repair it and continue to use it." Zheng Liang persuaded his wife.

After my wife repaired the umbrella, she muttered several times: "It costs ten yuan to repair the umbrella, and I heard that it is only twelve yuan to buy such an umbrella." ”

Zheng Liang said: "Regardless of how much it cost to repair it, this umbrella can be used again, and there is no waste." ”

My wife said: "You calculate the accounts of the public family so clearly, why are you confused as soon as you return to your own home!" ”

Zheng Liang has been an official for most of his life, from a small official to a big official, from a grassroots official to an official of an organ, what kind of official is a good official? He speaks much like others at conferences and other public occasions, but has his own standards in private.

"I have known since I was a child that Lord Stove is a good official and Lord Long is a bad official. When I first remembered, some families in our village worshipped the king of the stove, and my grandmother also worshipped one. The portrait of the king of the stove pasted on the kitchen wall, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a long beard fluttering, makes people feel kind when they look at it. At that time, people in the countryside were still relatively poor, and whenever I cooked something delicious at home, I would climb on the pot early and wait, often wanting to ask the adults for a taste before it was ready. Grandma said that when the family makes delicious meals, they must first respect the king of the stove. The old man was reluctant to eat the things in front of him, he just looked at them without moving, and the delicious things finally ran into our stomachs. There is a small river in front of our village, and in the rainy season every year, the villagers give him the vegetables and buns that they are reluctant to eat, and beg him not to flood our fields and villages with water. We never knew what the Dragon Lord looked like, and as soon as the offerings to him were placed on the surface of the river, he unceremoniously swept them all away at once. ”

The policy of building affordable housing in the army has been well formulated and welcomed by the cadres, but due to various reasons, some units have not been able to implement it quickly. The Joint Logistics Department's own affordable housing construction projects have not yet started, and the cadres have some opinions.

A detachment directly under the organ was abolished and a vacant lot was vacated, which was relatively close to the organ and the surrounding environment was good. Zheng Liang asked the headquarters management office to make a plan first, and when he held an office meeting at the joint logistics department, he suggested that this place be used as land for economic use of housing construction for the cadres of the organs.

Some heads of the agency also took a fancy to this place, and as soon as Zheng Liang put forward the plan of the management office at the office meeting, some people expressed opposition.

After learning of this situation, Deputy Commander Wang of the Military Region proposed that the joint logistics department hold an office meeting to discuss this issue in the face of two different opinions.

At the office meeting held by the Joint Logistics Department, Vice Minister Jia Yushan spoke first, and he proposed that the solution to the housing problem should be carried out from top to bottom; some leading comrades of the Joint Logistics Department are no longer young and have lived in apartments all their lives, and they should be allowed to see that they have a house of their own in their lifetime; young comrades will come to Japan for a long time, and there will be many opportunities in the future, and this land should give priority to building houses for leading cadres.

Zheng Liang expressed a different view, saying: "I think that the most urgent task at the moment is to solve the problem of affordable housing for cadres at the division and regimental level of government organs. Most of the apartments where the leaders of the Joint Logistics Department live now have just been renovated at a great cost, and it will be a waste to build new houses soon. At present, however, the apartment houses of divisional and regimental cadres in the organs have not yet reached the standard, resulting in some divisional cadres living in regimental and regimental cadres living in barracks, and the phenomenon of one level pressing one level at the next level has existed for a long time. If we have built affordable housing for cadres at the division and regimental levels, we will be able to improve the housing conditions of the entire joint logistics organs, which will be conducive to the ideological stability of the cadres of the organs. When we talk about 'serving officers and soldiers' every day, the 'officers' mentioned here refer to the officers of the grass-roots units and the grass-roots cadres of the leading organs, not to the heads of the leading organs. The work goals we put forward should be reflected in actions, not just slogans. ”

Zheng Liang's last words made Jia Yushan blush, he looked at the minister and political commissar of the Joint Logistics Department, and said unconvinced: "It is also appropriate to think about the old leaders!" ”

Zheng Liang's face also turned red, and he said excitedly: "Now some people are thinking about the masses, some people are thinking about the leadership, some people are thinking about themselves, and some people are thinking about the leaders on the surface, but they are actually thinking about themselves. ”

Jia Yushan opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

There was a moment of silence.

After a while, the political commissar of the Joint Logistics Department said meaningfully: "Lao Zheng's words are good medicine and bitter mouth!" ”

When Zheng Liang was the vice minister for almost seven years, an order transferred him to a military academy outside Beijing and became the dean.

Some people say that a good leader like Zheng Liang should have been promoted to a military position a long time ago; Some people also said that Zheng Liang was transferred from the leadership of most of the military region's organs to a college and academy to become the dean.

On the evening of getting the news, Jia Yushan, who was on a business trip, called Zheng Liang.

"Lao Zheng, congratulations on your transition from deputy to regular!" The caller was tepid.

"Thank you for your concern, I hope you will also turn positive as soon as possible." The tone of the person who answered the phone was lukewarm.

Jia Yushan's laughter came from the microphone: "Where do I have such a high level and such strong ability as you, and I am ready to work in this position of deputy minister until retirement." ”

"No," Zheng Liang said seriously, "I was not talking about your position just now, but when you look at problems in the future, you should turn to the correct track of understanding!" ”

Jia Yushan seemed to want to say something over there, and Zheng Liang hung up the phone here.
