In the third week of Wu Dao's work, the Hecheng Town Government sent people to the village to publicize the policy, and the office was responsible for the specific work arrangement. Wu Dao has not yet arranged a specific position, and he did not have to participate in this time when he entered the village, but he wanted to do something practical very much, so he took the initiative to ask to enter the village. Zhang Chunmei persuaded him not to go, and said that peasant work was the most difficult to do. Wu Dao himself is the son of a farmer, and what Zhang Chunmei said is completely different from the farmer he knows, and he wants to go to the village to find out, so he insists on going. Zhang Chunmei said with a smile:

"If you want to go, go once, you definitely won't want to go a second time."

Hecheng has jurisdiction over 20 villages with a population of more than 50,000. The town government office drew 30 cadres from various departments who were in the prime of life, divided them into five groups, centered on the town government station, from near to far, village by village, house by house, each group ran to one village a day, and after arriving in the village, six people in each group were divided into three groups to carry out their work separately. Xiaohuangzhuang, where the Wu family is located, is one of the most remote villages in Hecheng Town, and it is only possible to go there on the last day. After determining the candidates for the village, the 30 people each received propaganda materials and went back to study.

On the first day of entering the village, Wu Dao's group went to Zhaojiahuayuan Village, which was very close to the town government, and the people from the Hecheng town government walked there. Wu Dao was assigned to a group with a colleague who had been working for more than ten years. Since he had no work experience, when he went to the first two farmers' homes to publicize the policy, his colleagues knocked on the door, and then the two of them entered the door together, and the colleagues explained the policy to the villagers, and Wu Dao stood aside to learn. Both of these went well. Watching his colleagues communicate with the villagers, Wu Dao felt that Zhang Chunmei was too exaggerated. Coming out of the second house, a colleague said to Wu Dao:

"There are too many people in this village, and if two people are together, they may not be able to turn around until dark. The two of us are separated, an alley, there are yards on both sides, I am in charge of the left, you are in charge of the right. In this way, I can call it a day early in the afternoon. ”

"Okay." Wu Dao said.

Separated from his colleagues, Wu Dao thought that it would be very smooth to work alone, but he didn't expect to eat two closed-door soups in a row. The third family he went to was a newlywed. They were very polite to him and very supportive of his work. However, just as he was about to leave, the pug in the courtyard suddenly ran up to him and bit him on the calf. Wu Dao only felt a burst of pain, and hurriedly dodged to the side. The dog owner hurriedly walked over to drive the pug away, scolding the dog while compensating Wu Dao. Wu Dao said:

"Don't hit the dog, it's already bitten, and it's useless to hit it again."

"My dog has been vaccinated against rabies, and it's okay if he bites someone, and it won't be contagious." Said the dog owner.

"That's good, I'm going to the next one."

Wu Dao walked outside on the way, and felt that his leg was still a little painful, so he pulled up his trouser leg and looked at it. A colleague from the same group happened to be on the road, and when he saw that Wu Dao was injured in the leg, he asked what was wrong. Wu Dao told the story of being bitten by a dog, and his colleague said:

"This is not a trivial matter, he said that the dog has been vaccinated, who knows if it is true, even if it is really vaccinated, it is still possible to transmit rabies, you should go for the vaccine immediately. If you get rabies, it's not a joke, it's going to kill you. ”

"What about the job?" Wu Dao said.

"You don't want to work. I'll call the office and ask them to send a car to pick you up and get vaccinated at the town health center right away. ”

A colleague used his mobile phone to call the office of the Hecheng Township Government, and in less than ten minutes, a driver drove to Wu Dao, along with Zhang Chunmei, deputy director of the office. Zhang Chunmei took Wu Dao to the town health center to get vaccinated against rabies, and asked about the process of being bitten on the way. Hearing Wu Dao say that he was bitten by a little pug, Zhang Chunmei couldn't help laughing and said:

"You're such a scholar, a little pug can bite you. I said that the peasant work is not easy to do, you still have to go to the village, and you will be bitten by a dog as soon as you get out of the village. ”

"I was talking to people and didn't pay attention to the puppy, and it came running over and bit me on the leg, and I couldn't hide it." Wu Dao said.

"It doesn't matter if the pug is vaccinated or not, you have to get vaccinated, rabies is not a joke. You are injured at work, the money for vaccination, and the unit is out. In the past few days, you don't go to the village anymore, just recuperate in the unit. ”

After Wu Dao was vaccinated, he returned to the Hecheng Town Government with Zhang Chunmei, and then went to see Hu Xueshan, the director of the office. Hu Xueshan asked about Wu Dao's wound on the one hand, and blamed Zhang Chunmei on the other hand, he should not let Wu Dao enter the village, Zhang Chunmei hurriedly admitted his mistake. Wu Dao felt that he had burdened Zhang Chunmei, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only stay in the unit for the next few days according to what Zhang Chunmei said. Zhang Chunmei transferred someone else to replace Wu Dao and continue to enter the village.

Wu Dao had nothing to do for a few days, and no one asked him to help him type, so he remembered that he hadn't looked at his email for many days, so he had the courage to walk into the electric classroom for the first time. At this time, there was only one deputy mayor Yu Ying in the electric classroom. Yu Ying saw that it was Wu Dao, so he said:

"Xiao Wu, you're here too."

"Hello Mayor Yu." Wu Dao said.

"What town mayor is not the mayor of the town, I will retire in a few years, you can call me Lao Yu."

"How can that work?" With that, Wu Dao sat down and turned on a computer.

"Xiao Wu, you graduated from a prestigious university, why didn't you find a job in a big city and come to our town government? It's too condescending to work here. ”

"Unyielding."

"In the township government, it is too difficult to get ahead, and you may not be able to become a deputy department until you retire. You should go to a better unit as a high-achieving student. It's just a mess here, and it is only when I retire that I realize that this life has been in vain. ”
