In the southwest in March, the drizzling light rain is very cold, but whenever there is some drenching on people, people can experience the feeling of being cold to the bone. If there is another gust of wind, it will kill people.

Looking at these people who are dressed simply, although they are wearing spring and winter school uniforms issued by the militia uniforms, the rain shelter tools outside are extremely simple, and they are all brought by each family. Maybe it's because of the fear of disobeying the upcoming leader, or maybe someone has forced that no child has an umbrella. Standing far away, Zhang Shusheng could also see the small bodies wrapped under the oilcloth raincoat and the coat, trembling, and the rain had wet their faces.

When thinking of the future generations, the students always lined up to welcome the so-called wise and martial leaders in the big winter, rain, and even snow, and Zhang Shusheng felt that a fire rushed from his feet to the top of his head.

Yes, in his previous life, he was a fart, but now, he can't hide from a distance and watch his children suffer. How can he lead him? Let the children suffer like this?

He didn't choose to wait, waiting for the leader who might be about to appear, he just wanted to go over early, send the students who were already shivering with cold home, change into clean clothes, and drink two sips of ginger soup. Children are the future of the nation, and if these so-called wise leaders want to abuse even their children, so as to show their official authority, then what is he?

Putting away the umbrella in his hand, Zhang Shusheng strode over the muddy road alone.

"Secretary Lu, the district magistrate, he ......" Mao Yunxian had almost never seen the dean so angry, for fear of making a big incident, while signaling the security personnel to follow, he asked Zhang Shusheng's personal secretary Lu Yunyan.

"It's okay, don't worry. It's they who have gone too far. ”

Lu Yunyan and Mao Yunxian also held umbrellas and followed.

"Students, who made you stand here on such a cold and rainy day?" Zhang Shusheng walked to the front of the team, squatted in front of one of the youngest students, and gave him an umbrella. The child was still a little scared, and when he saw Zhang Shusheng, a stranger, coming, he was a little scared. "Don't be afraid, uncle is not a bad person. Didn't the teachers teach you to be honest? Tell my uncle, who made you stand here in the rain? ”

"It was Mr. Ke who made us stand here. Teacher Ke said that a big official was coming to our school to participate in the school celebration. The child said nervously.

"What do you do?"

Zhang Shusheng wanted to ask again, but heard a very impolite question. When I looked up, I saw a few people coming out of the school gate, a few of them were a little older, and the first one was a young man with a mercenary face.

"What do you do?" Zhang Shusheng also asked back unceremoniously, it had been a long time since anyone dared to talk to him like this. A kind of momentum that is not angry but powerful makes this little philistine feel a little unhappy, and his face suddenly becomes annoyed, "Hmph, I'm the director of the school's logistics office, what are you doing?" I'm telling you, don't mess around here, get out of the way, the leaders are coming soon. ”

"Ke, Mr. Ke." When the student in front of Zhang Shusheng saw this director, he lowered his head a little nervously, would he be reprimanded by the stern Teacher Ke when he talked to this unknown person just now.

"Well, don't just talk to strangers, you know?" Seeing that the students were afraid of him, Director Ke felt proud in his heart, turned his head and said to Zhang Shusheng: "You have to stand aside to see the excitement, don't disturb our school to welcome Deputy County Magistrate Wei." ”

Zhang Shusheng thought to himself, this is not the era when the big business of the family can be messed with by others, and now he is just a little bit of a family, and he has just spent some money to develop science and technology to run education, and he encountered such a scum, it seems that there must be something wrong with one link.

"You're embarrassed to call yourself a teacher, let me ask you, the students are so small, why do you let them get caught in the rain and freeze here? Who gave you the right! Can you be responsible for drenching the child? Zhang Shusheng asked angrily.

"What's wrong with a little rain? Is it a big deal to get a little rain or a big thing to celebrate? Is it a big deal to be frozen, or is it a big thing to welcome Deputy County Magistrate Wei? "Director Ke of this logistics department seems to be a person with a lot of experience in public relations, although the person in front of him has an extraordinary face, he is by no means a big official. He knows almost all the officials in the county, and he doesn't know where to pass by, and he is in charge of the school.

This kind of tone, how can it sound so familiar, Zhang Shusheng laughed angrily, yes, he had heard similar words in his later life. Originally, after occupying the entire Dongchuan area, he was also mentally prepared for some problems that might arise in the jurisdiction, but he didn't expect that he had just started the plan to form the Dongchuan political axe, and he encountered such a thing during his own inspection, and he was still in Huize, his own base camp, which was one of the first counties to form a new political axe.

"Mao Yunxian, you let them come over and send the children home first." Zhang Shusheng didn't bother to pay attention to this philistine, and waited for Director Ke, the deputy county magistrate, to call the security personnel over first, and let the children go back to change their clothes first and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold.

"What? Who do you think you are? I am a teacher at this school, and I am in charge of the school celebration, I didn't speak, and no one was allowed to leave. Director Ke raised his voice, and several teachers with umbrellas at the school gate were lured over.

"Teacher Ke, what's going on?" A man who was clearly a school leader asked with a frown. Aizawa Primary School is a large primary school with hundreds of students, with a large number of teaching staff and strict conditions for selecting and hiring teachers. In addition to some of them graduating from schools within the militia system, there are also teachers who have been retained by the original county schools, and new teachers who have been recruited from other places.

"Vice Principal Li." The director surnamed Ke saw that the person's face was not very good, and he smiled and said, "This person doesn't know where he came from, so he came and let the students go home, it's really inexplicable." ”

"I think you're inexplicable. On a rainy day, let the children stand here in the rain and freeze. Hmph, this gentleman is right, immediately tell me to go home and change the children's clothes. ”

Vice Principal Li obviously didn't know Zhang Shusheng, and he handed the umbrella in his hand to a girl next to him. The school work was too heavy, and the principal went to Xiaoqingshan for a meeting again, and before leaving, he handed over the preparations for the school celebration to Director Ke, a young man he didn't like very much. There have been a lot of things about school celebrations and teaching in the past few days, and he can't be busy, and he doesn't know what this Director Ke has done, until he saw the scene of the children getting drenched in the rain just now, and he became angry in his heart, and walked over with several other teachers.

"Director Ke, it's not right for you to do this, the children's body is the most important, and you abuse the children like this and engage in privilege, which is already completely contrary to the education policy and political guidelines of the district political axe. When the headmaster returns, I will immediately recommend that the headmaster expel you. ”

The teachers who came over were also angry, originally Director Ke informed everyone that Deputy County Magistrate Wei was about to arrive, so they went out of the school together to prepare for a simple greeting, they didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, let alone encounter this scene. The most embarrassing thing is that the teachers of my own school did not find out, but let outsiders reason first, which was embarrassing and embarrassing.

Several teachers gave the children umbrellas and asked them to stand together before they were ready to go home to change their clothes.

"Director Ma, you are the director of the Political and Educational Department, and you know more about the truth than I do. I don't know anything, but I can do things. The school's teaching building is crooked, who has repeatedly run to the county to pull the renovation money? The canteen is too small to accommodate so many students, who went to the county government to run more than a dozen times before building a big canteen? The school lacks sports equipment, who is going to pull the funds for students with those chambers of commerce and buy equipment? This Director Ke saw several school leaders and outsiders standing together, unanimously opposing him, and his face couldn't hold back, "Deputy County Magistrate Wei came to inspect and see the school celebration of our school." Shouldn't it be a grand reception? If you neglect Deputy County Magistrate Wei, not to mention offending him, that is, when he does things in the future, he nods his head less, isn't it a loss for the school? ”

Before the establishment of the Dongchuan District Political Axe, the various expenditures of the militia were also extremely large, and although the county seat of Huize was close to Xiaoqingshan, the various policies and the investment of the militia were larger, but they also came step by step. Zhang Shusheng can't give his surname to all the schools in all places at once.

"Director Ke, you are in charge of logistics and have done a lot of practical things for the school, and I am sure of this. However, blindly being unconventional and opportunistic in official affairs at the expense of students' bodies and dignity is not only a serious violation of the spirit of the district political axe, but also despicable by the people. Moreover, I believe that Deputy County Magistrate Wei is not a person who likes formalism, and he will definitely get angry when he comes. Now I'm in charge, let the children go back first. ”

Vice Principal Li saw that Zhang Shusheng was dressed well, so he turned to him and said: "This gentleman, our school has really done something wrong this time, I would like to express my attitude to you on behalf of the primary school, and something similar will never happen in the future." ”

However, Zhang Shusheng didn't reply, because the security personnel had already come. Although these young people were dressed ordinarily, they had vigorous steps and eyes like falcons, which made everyone present feel a sense of pressure.

"Put the cotton clothes on the children first, don't send them back first, I'm going to wait here for the deputy county magistrate Wei."

Zhang Shusheng changed his mind and ordered more than a dozen security personnel to gather the children together first, put umbrellas on them, and put on the cotton clothes that they had urgently gathered after receiving Mao Yun's notice just now, so that the children were no longer drenched in the rain and frozen.

"Deputy County Magistrate Wei is here!"

At this time, someone saw two people walking towards this side with umbrellas in the distance, and they recognized it at a glance as Deputy County Magistrate Wei of Huize County.

When the two walked in front of them, Zhang Shusheng, who was standing behind, saw clearly that he knew this deputy county magistrate Wei.

Both of them were wearing raincoats, umbrellas, and a pair of plastic-soled Huili brand shoes from Lishuping, which were also covered with mud and even a lot on their trouser legs. The one in front is Deputy County Magistrate Wei, and the one in the back is the secretary.

"Vice Principal Li, what's going on?" The deputy county magistrate Wei did not seem to be dim-headed, seeing the children standing there with wild flowers in their hands, and then looking at the banner at the school gate, he had already understood everything, he had never encountered such formalism since he became an official.

A face was immediately pulled down, and he was just about to ask again, but suddenly saw the person behind the crowd, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and his complicated expression showed shame, remorse, guilt, and fear...... The whole person's face looked extremely bad.

"Welcome to Deputy County Magistrate Wei, something happened here, Deputy County Magistrate Wei is still going to the advanced school to ......" Director Ke saw Deputy County Magistrate Wei coming, threw down a bunch of people, and was about to step forward to shake hands with a smile, but saw that Deputy County Magistrate Wei ignored himself at all, walked directly in front of him, walked in front of the troublesome young man, and knelt down with a thud, completely ignoring the mud on the ground, and knelt directly in the muddy slurry.

"Wei Sancai has high hopes for the district chief."

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Deputy County Magistrate Wei knelt in the mud, drenched in the rain, his head completely hit the ground, and he didn't get up.

District? Could it be that the person in front of you is the head of Dongchuan District?

A group of teachers at Aizawa Elementary School were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the handsome young people next to them, they were not ordinary people, they looked very much like the legendary guards. Is that upright young man really the famous Dongchuan District Mayor Zhang Shusheng?

Zhang Shusheng didn't care about Wei Sancai on the ground, turned around and said to Mao Yunxian: "You asked people to call all the people from the county government axe, even if they are sick and dying, carry them over to me." ”

After speaking, regardless of the group of helpless people, Zhang Shusheng walked straight to the students.

"Students, I am Zhang Shusheng, the head of Dongchuan District. Maybe you've all seen me in textbooks, I'm the person with a long beard and a big nose holding the textbook in the third grade thought textbook, lesson 12 "Why We Read", don't you think it's not very similar? Zhang Shusheng jokingly said that at that time, because the textbooks were newly compiled, the people in the textbook team drew their own images into it as illustrations in the textbooks of the thought class.

"It's quite like."

"Nose like."

"The eyes are like."

"I thought it was quite similar just now, but I was afraid that I would admit it."

…… The children saw that Zhang Shusheng was speaking very kindly, and they felt that he was very similar to the person holding the book in the illustration in the textbook, so they rushed to speak, and they were very excited.

The children were wrapped in thick cotton clothes and holding umbrellas, Zhang Shusheng stood in the rain, nodded and said, "It's too cold today, and it's still raining." You're drenched, too. I won't say more. Perhaps any of you will remember the lesson "Why We Read?" I hope you will always remember that in this miserable and poor era, for the sake of the future of the nation, you must not only cherish your body and study hard, but also live with dignity. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, I will allow you to say no. You are the future of the nation, and no one has the right to trample on your dignity. Nor are any so-called leaders and officials able to treat you as an offering to their power. Alright, now let these uncles send you home. ”

Zhang Shusheng did not let the children stay, and showed the so-called Huize County officials that the children were the most important.

When Xu Jianming, the magistrate of Huize County, received a notice that it was the district magistrate Zhang Shusheng who was furious at the gate of Huize Primary School, the whole person felt that the world was spinning for a while. After studying abroad for three years, after more than a year of training after returning to China, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but he didn't expect that he did his best to manage the entire Huize County, and there was still such a thing. was somewhat similar to the mood of the deputy county magistrate Wei Sancai, at that moment, he only felt cold hands and feet.

The people who called the prefectural government axe together and notified the people from the prefectural police station, and then rushed to Aizawa Elementary School in a hurry.

Half an hour later, at the gate of Huize Elementary School, many people had already come, except for the crowd watching the excitement from a distance, the managers of the primary school stood on the left, the people from the county government axe stood on the right, and Wei Sancai and Xu Jianming knelt in the middle.

Although he didn't know why his deputy county magistrate knelt there, Xu Jianming already knew the cause and effect of the whole thing when he came, and when he saw Wei Sancai kneeling, he also felt very ashamed of the district magistrate and his own enlightenment teacher, so he knelt in the middle on the spot.

Zhang Shusheng stood in front of the school gate, looked at this large number of people, and said in a deep voice: "Today was originally the school celebration of Huize Primary School, and it was supposed to be celebrated by the students and teachers singing and dancing together, but I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen. I won't say much about the big reason, but the Huizawa County Government Axe is one of the first county government axes formed in Dongchuan District, and I think a considerable number of you have received systematic education from our militia itself.

Just to welcome a deputy county magistrate, let the children get drenched in the rain and freeze. This is to trample on the dignity of students, and this is to serve the leaders at the cost of insulting the students' personalities.

This is the result of your governance of Aizawa and the management of Aizawa?

Maybe you say that this is not the responsibility of Deputy County Magistrate Wei, and this is not your responsibility. However, whose responsibility is it to make Ke Minghui, who does not learn and can only drill camps, become the director of the logistics department of the primary school? I don't care if he is sponsored by the principal, or whether he is willing to do things for the school, my impression of him is extremely bad. I hope that through today's events, the future personnel review will be more comprehensive and detailed.

Let's not talk about the punishment, but you all stand here for me today, and you can only leave when the students are out of school at noon. It's two hours before school ends at noon, and I'm going to give you a taste of what it's like to be in the rain and cold. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shusheng didn't want to listen to their explanations, let alone say more, so he called Mao Yunxian directly: "You ask the garrison in the county town to send a platoon, if any of these people can't stand steadily, he will have to stand for two hours for me." In addition, let the accompanying reporters take pictures and send them to the Dongchuan Daily after returning to make a full-page report. ”

After the order, Zhang Shusheng and Lu Yunyan threw down this large group of people and went in to see the students. Whether it is an official or a teacher, this lesson must be taught today.

The students had classes in the morning, Zhang Shusheng didn't bother them, just looked at the students by the window, the children were studying seriously, and they didn't know what was happening at the school gate. For them, every minute and every second counts in their learning time. The school celebration is put in the after-school time, and the time is not long, just a few small programs are over.

After school, Zhang Shusheng went to the cafeteria again to see, the children can still enjoy the free lunch provided by the school at noon every day, a child can make three dishes, one meat and two vegetables, rice steamed buns and vegetables are as full.

Seeing the children eating happily and gobbling up, he finally smiled, the food tasted good, and he and Lu Yunyan's lunch was eaten with the children. has invested so much money in education over the years, and it has not disappointed him. After all, this school has a director Ke as the logistics director, but fortunately he has not dared to deduct the children's living expenses.

When he walked out of the school gate, Zhang Shusheng saw that everyone was still standing there, no one in the county and the school administrators dared to leave, and some people were weak, but they were still standing there supported by the soldiers. You must know that although some of the school administrators are from outside, the people in the county government are all trained by the militia itself.

Zhang Shu is here, who dares to go?

"I won't say anything superfluous, everyone go back, I hope this lesson can be remembered by you for a lifetime."

"Yes!"

The people present did not dare to say anything, they gradually dispersed, and those who were weaker fell crooked after a few walks, and they had to be sent back by the soldiers of the garrison.

Wei Sancai and Xu Jianming did not leave.

"How long do you want to kneel?" Strictly speaking, this incident was not caused by Wei Sancai and Xu Jianming's original intention, but they have an unshirkable responsibility.

"Teacher, the student is incompetent and has disappointed the teacher." Xu Jianming kowtowed and said. In China during this period, teachers were respected, especially Zhang Shusheng, for Xu Jianming, he was not only an enlightenment teacher, but also a person who had a great influence on him since he was a child, and also benefited from the teacher's kindness and studied abroad. It can be said that since he went to school, he was taught by Zhang Shusheng, ate the meals provided by Zhang Shusheng, wore the clothes provided by the teacher, and went to the free school provided by Zhang Shusheng until he returned from studying abroad. He is the group of people who went out with Zhu Zijian, and he is also an old qualification.

"Go back and write a review to me, and wait for the punishment notice."

"Yes, teacher! Students are willing to accept any sanctions. Xu Jianming didn't dare to call Wei Sancai on the side, he got up with difficulty and fell down once, but he pushed away the kindness of the soldiers, didn't let people help him, and staggered away alone. He was not afraid of punishing him, but felt a pain of guilt in his heart.

Wei San knelt there until there was no one around, and even Lu Yunyan had already walked away, he cried and said, "Dean, the student is guilty!" ”

After speaking, he took out a pistol and put it on his temple. According to the regulations of the political axe of Dongchuan District, the officials led by the county political axe can be equipped with guns at this time.

The soldier next to him was taken aback when he saw it, and was about to raise his gun to aim and shoot, but was stopped by Zhang Shusheng.

"If you die, I won't have a chance to see you mend your ways."

"Dean, students have high expectations for the dean!! It's shameless to live. ”

Zhang Shusheng patted him on the shoulder and helped him up, "Since you are my student, you have to prove it to me." Go back and wait for the punishment notice, hold your head high, take your fault, bravely take it, and do your job. ”

"Yes, Dean, the student made a note of it. If he said that the student disappointed the teacher again, he would definitely apologize in front of the teacher. Wei Sancai kowtowed three times, then got up and staggered away.

Zhang Shusheng watched this student from the orphanage leave, knowing that this incident hit him very hard, if he could take advantage of this to improve, then he would be a talent in the future. If he blames himself, he will be ruined.

He actually understands his students quite well, he has just stepped into the officialdom, everything is difficult at the beginning, and this Wei Sancai is still as good as when he left the orphanage. As the deputy county magistrate, he can wear rubber shoes on a rainy day covered with mud and bring only a secretary to attend the celebration of the primary school, which shows that he attaches great importance to education and does not like formalism. Without knowing it, he didn't quibble, he didn't explain, he didn't justify anything for everything today, he just silently blamed himself and took on this responsibility that someone must bear. This shows that he has almost the same respect for himself as the dean.

He would rather be wronged than disappoint himself, the dean. The people who came out of the orphanage are all good!!

He actually wanted to praise him a few words and not punish him, but he had no choice, and there were some things that he couldn't simply be soft-hearted. Even if you are making a big fuss, it is also to establish a climate. You know, when a thousand-mile embankment collapses in an anthill, a small problem often develops into a big problem.

He had decided that each school should have an inspector sent by the political axe, and that a rotation system should be implemented. There are many problems reflected in this incident, and at present, they are all caused by the fact that the above does not know about doing things, and the above does not have the ability to foresee these things.

It is better to treat the symptoms than the root cause, and the inspector will play a role in correcting the bad atmosphere and supervising the implementation of the policy. Education is one of the most important things for a nation, and once education fails, no matter how much you do in the future, it will be in vain.

Wei Sancai walked into the distance, looked back at the figure in the rain, and before he knew it, the man's blood and tears had already mixed with the rain and flowed down. He didn't blame the dean for today's incident, he even felt that the dean was still a god-like existence in his mind.

No matter what the punishment is, he will work harder, and he will prove that even if he is exhausted, he will never let the dean down again.

"Deputy County Magistrate Wei, why don't you explain? Actually, you didn't make any big mistakes. The secretary next to him saw everything in the distance, this student who had just graduated from Southwest University, it was hard to imagine that because he didn't do a good job at all, he worked hard and desperately, loved the people like a son, was diligent and thrifty, and the deputy county magistrate who was honest and honest committed suicide on the spot...... Wei Sancai patted the little secretary on the shoulder and shook his head, "You'll never understand." ”

He overtook the little secretary and strode forward, and the images that would never be erased for the rest of his life flashed in his mind: a teenager who made a mistake, unable to complete his training because of an injury to his hands, and had no food. A man in his 20s, as kind as a father, carried a bowl and fed him personally......
