At the end of the year, various assessment teams in the county successively arrived at the Hecheng Town Government, the Agriculture Bureau, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Cultural Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, and the Archives Bureau...... The various assessment groups dazzled Wu Dao.

The first assessment team to go to River Town was the Information Section. Before the arrival of each assessment team, they will call one day in advance to determine the time, and Section Chief Liu of the Information Section told Hu Xueshan, director of the Hecheng Town Government Office, that he and Section Chief Wang will arrive at about ten o'clock.

At nine fifty, Hu Xueshan asked Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei to wait at the gate. After a while, Wu Dao saw the car of the Information Department driving over, with Section Chief Wang as the driver and Section Chief Liu sitting in the back seat. The car stopped at the door, and the two section chiefs, Liu and Wang, rolled down the window glass and greeted Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei. Zhang Chunmei asked the doorman to open the door and led the car to the parking space on the side of the office building. The two section chiefs got out of the car and shook hands with Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei, said some polite words, and the four of them went to Hu Xueshan's office. Hu Xueshan smiled all over his face and said:

"The two leaders are here, and they are far away."

"Where is it, Director Hu is the leader." Section Chief Liu said.

Hu Xueshan said: "My room is too small, don't sit here, go to the reception room to sit for a while, and I will accompany the two leaders to drink some tea." He also said to Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei, "Xiao Wu will go to prepare the assessment materials first, and then take them to the reception room, and Chunmei will go to the reception room to pour tea for the two leaders and take a few boxes of cigarettes." ”

Wu Dao and Zhang Chunmei said "yes" and went out first, and Hu Xueshan took Liu and Wang to walk slowly. Wu Dao had already prepared all the materials needed for the assessment the day before, put them in the filing cabinet in his office, he took out the materials and read them again, arranged them neatly, and then went to the reception room with the materials. At this time, the three leaders were sitting on the sofa chatting, Zhang Chunmei had already poured tea for them, and Liu and Wang each had two boxes of cigarettes in front of them. Wu Dao put the assessment materials on the coffee table in front of Section Chief Liu, and also found a sofa to sit down. Hu Xueshan said:

"Don't be in a hurry to read the materials, take a break first, drink some tea, smoke two cigarettes, and it's not too late to look at the materials later. Secretary Wang and Mayor Han were busy, so they didn't come, they specially instructed me to entertain the two leaders, and the two leaders should not be blamed. ”

"Director Hu, you're welcome, Secretary Wang and Mayor Han are big leaders, and there are many things, we all understand. Section Chief Liu and I don't smoke, so let's take the cigarettes away. Section Chief Liu said.

"The two leaders don't smoke, and the relatives and friends at home must have smoked, so they brought them all and brought them back." Hu Xueshan said.

"Director Hu is polite, then we will install it." Section Chief Liu said.

Section Chief Liu and Section Chief Wang put the cigarettes in front of them in the briefcases they brought with them.

"Let's look at the materials now, we'll finish reading it here, and we have to rush to the next township, and the time is very tight." Section Chief Wang said.

"That's not good, the two leaders are here, how can they leave without a meal? Secretary Wang and Mayor Han explained that they must leave the two leaders behind after eating. If I can't keep the two leaders, Secretary Wang and Mayor Han will blame me. Hu Xueshan said.

"We've already set the time, it's hard to adjust." Section Chief Wang said.

"Are the two leaders disgusted that the food in our river town is not well cooked?" Hu Xueshan said with a smile.

"How could that be? Food, it's the same wherever you eat, Director Hu said this, and we had no choice but to be respectful and obey our fate, and push back the time to go to the next township. Section Chief Liu said.

"That's right. The work can never be done, the two leaders are usually busy with work, it is difficult to get our river town to come to the scene to guide our work, how can we leave without eating? Xiao Wu has just joined the work this year, and there must be a lot of things that are not done well, and the two leaders must give good guidance. Hu Xueshan said.

"Director Hu is too modest, although Xiao Wu has participated in the working hours for a short time, but the ability is very strong, as soon as he goes to work, he published a masterpiece in the newspaper, and he also did a lot of work when he was in rotation training in the information department. To tell you the truth, we all want to transfer Xiao Wu to the Information Department, but I'm afraid that Director Hu will be reluctant. Section Chief Liu said.

"It's a good thing to be able to go to work in the county, if the two leaders want it, we will definitely not hold on to it. Since the two leaders said so, can you give us an advanced rating this year? Hu Xueshan said.

"Hecheng Town's outstanding achievements this year must be advanced, Hecheng Town is an advanced unit in information work, and Xiao Wu is an advanced individual." Section Chief Liu said.

Hu Xueshan said: "Then on behalf of Secretary Wang and Mayor Han, I would like to thank the two leaders. He said to Wu Dao again, "Xiao Wu, you also have to thank the two leaders." ”

"Thank you, Section Chief Liu and Section Chief Wang." Wu Dao said.

"No thanks, just send us more articles in the future." Section Chief Wang said.

"Having said all that, it's time to take a look at the assessment materials." Section Chief Liu said.

"The two leaders will take a closer look, and if there are any problems, we will definitely correct them." Hu Xueshan said.

Section Chief Liu handed the assessment materials to Section Chief Wang and said:

"I'll go to the bathroom, you can look at these materials first, and you can tell me about it later. I still understand Xiao Wu's work, and there will be no major problems. ”

"Okay." Section Chief Wang said.

"I'll take you to the bathroom. Also, we also prepared a little gift for the two leaders, the car keys were taken and used first, and I asked Chunmei to put the things in the trunk. Hu Xueshan said to Section Chief Liu.

Section Chief Liu said to Hu Xueshan: "Director Hu has bothered, thank you very much." The car keys are with Section Chief Wang. He also said to Section Chief Wang, "Section Chief Wang gave the car keys to Director Zhang." ”

Hu Xueshan took Section Chief Liu to the bathroom, and said to Wu Dao before leaving: "Xiao Wu, learn from Section Chief Wang here, and remember any problems." ”

Zhang Chunmei took the car keys from Section Chief Wang and walked out as well.

Section Chief Wang looked down at the assessment materials prepared by Wu Dao, and seemed to be very serious. Wu Dao didn't know what to do, so he stood by the side, waiting for Section Chief Wang's instructions. However, Section Chief Wang didn't say anything from beginning to end. When Hu Xueshan and Section Chief Liu came back, Section Chief Wang hadn't finished reading it yet. Section Chief Liu said to Section Chief Wang:

"Is there anything wrong with the material?"

Section Chief Wang put down the materials in his hand and said:

"I've seen them all, and there's no problem. Xiao Wu works hard and has everything he should have. Do you still watch it? ”

"Just look at it, I won't look at it." Section Chief Liu.

"If there is any problem, the two leaders must point it out so that we can correct it." Hu Xueshan said.

"Keep it up next year and send us a few more good manuscripts." Section Chief Liu said.

"Definitely." Hu Xueshan said.

Hu Xueshan, Liu and Wang, the two section chiefs, chatted in the reception room until more than eleven o'clock, and then left to go to the cafeteria.

When each assessment team arrives, the town government has to entertain them. Wu Dao was a propaganda officer and a college student who had just joined the work, so he was often dragged to accompany him, so he participated in many banquets. He didn't want to participate, but he couldn't find any reason.

After returning home from work in the afternoon, the family saw Wu Dao smelling of alcohol and asked him what was going on, Wu Dao told him about participating in the banquet, Wu Yang said:

"It's better to work in the agency, you don't have to spend your own money, you can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the wine you drink is all good wine, and the people can't eat it if they want to." You didn't want to come back before, if you don't come back, can you have so many delicious things to eat and drink, now you know that it's better to work in the office, right? ”

"I have the opportunity to bring back the rest of your good wine and food for me to taste." Wu He said.

"Even if it's good wine, don't drink so much, pay attention to your body, be young, don't drink your body badly." Li Mei said.

The three elders asked Wu Dao what dishes were served at the banquet, what kind of wine they drank, and who attended. Wu Dao felt that these questions were boring, but the family was very interested in these things, and he had to say it, so he explained it in detail before they stopped. Listening to Wu Dao's description, the three elders all smiled, as if they had also participated in the banquet.

Wu Dao became more and more disgusted with the wine banquet, and at the beginning of his participation, he was at the wine table from beginning to end, and several times he was drunk and helped to the dormitory by his colleagues, and he woke up with a headache. Later, when he noticed that someone had poured wine on the table or in a bowl of soup, he learned to avoid a lot of wine. Later, he found out that some people left the wine table halfway through the way and never returned, and he did the same.

Faced with a sumptuous banquet every day, Wu Dao felt incomprehensible, whether the Hecheng Town Government had money or not? If you say you have money, you owe others money but don't pay it back, and if you don't have money, you have to entertain people every day, it's really unpredictable.

Wu Dao was troubled by the endless drinking banquets, but his distress was Wu He's pleasure. Wu He happily talked in the village every day about his grandson drinking at the same table with a certain director, minister, and director, and how rich the dishes on the table were.

The people who listened didn't think there was anything wrong with that, and they all gave a thumbs up and said to Wu He:

"Your grandson is really capable, he went to college, and now he is serving an iron rice bowl and eating public meals."

"That is, I know that this child is not simple, unlike the children of our Zhuang family, he must have a great future when he grows up, so I named him Wu Dao. Sure enough, my grandson has studied well since he was a child, no matter what grade he is, he has never been in the top three, otherwise how could he be admitted to university, and now he has an iron job! For so many years, our Xiaohuangzhuang has produced such a college student. ”

"I also have to send our children to college, and I will have an iron job in the future."

"It's not that easy to get into college."
