Lin Yawen's speech went straight to the two deputy directors of the provincial department, saying that the reform of the Huyang River Basin Management Office was the fundamental cause of the two vicious accidents, and that if the Drainage Management Office was allowed to destroy thousands of acres of forest land in Qingtu Lake and Nanhu Lake, I, the county magistrate, would be a sinner in history.

The wind is blowing.

Since the beginning of spring, the wind has been one after another, as if it does not blow the desert over, it is not reconciled.

This one came very violently.

At this time, the desert is the most vulnerable, the crops have just climbed out of the ground, and the tender green seedlings are still looking forward to the rain, how can they withstand the wind as hard as an iron broom. Although the red willows and yellow firewood in Shawo are green, they are green and delicate, and they can't withstand the wind and sand at all. The poplar greens late, when the new branches have just sprouted, and the old branches have not yet faded in, and when the wind blows, the branches will creak and break. At the end of April and May, it is also a dividing line of God, saying that if you don't scrape, this year, even if it passes peacefully. If it is scraped, it is real sand and dust, and as soon as it comes, it will be surging and covering the sky and the earth.

Lin Yawen is holding a meeting with the village cadres to arrange for the rush to plant shelterbelts, no matter how many things there are, the work cannot be delayed, this year's shelterbelts, saying that they have to complete the task, not just complete, Lin Yawen temporarily added tasks to the villages, and wanted to make up for the arrears of the previous two years.

The meeting will be opened in the grain management office, and the township ** side is so chaotic that it can't be opened, Ning Suanzao's maiden brother and maternal uncle have dominated the office of the township chief secretary, and the room where Lin Yawen temporarily lives lives in two stones. Although the township has done a lot of work, not only did it not play any role, but it has done the confidence of Ning Suozao's family. It's really getting more and more troublesome, and the more noisy it is, the more it has no edge. As soon as Lin Yawen was decisive, she moved the venue to the grain management office.

Arranging shelterbelts is not to cope with the inspection above, even if Lao Qi and they don't come, this work must be done. Not just do it, but do it solidly. As early as after the Spring Festival, Lin Yawen had already started this work, and the task was owed by her, so she had to make up for it in her hands.

These days, she has contacted a group of saplings, which can be regarded as supporting Shahu County, and now she has to divide the seedlings tightly. As soon as the village party secretaries heard that the saplings did not pay for them, they all rushed to their own villages. Lin Yawen was about to criticize He Laomu of He Jiawan for a few words, he pulled the most tasks last year, and this year he also picked on his son several times, saying that he didn't want to do it. Before the words could be spoken, I suddenly heard a roar outside, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were dark. As soon as she saw this formation, Lin Yawen knew that it would not work. Working in Sand Lake, you have to learn to observe the weather and find the temper of the weather, otherwise, you will let the weather sell without knowing. This is also a great effort after she arrived in Shahu, a person who never looks at the weather forecast, now not only has to pay attention to the weather changes every day, but also carefully learn the 24 solar terms from the farmers, as well as the possible anomalies in the weather in each solar term. Now in this regard, she is half an expert, not even worse than Qi Maolin. As long as you prick up your ears and listen, you will know how many levels of this wind there are, whether it will blow or continue for many days. After listening to it for less than half a minute, her face darkened, and she said to the village cadres: "Go back immediately, put the trees planted in advance, and go all out to prevent this wind." Before he could finish speaking, the window was blown open by the wind, and a puff of sand and dust swept in, choking people to sneeze.

The village cadres are also meteorological experts, and they don't need Lin Yawen to remind them, they are already anxious, and they bounce up one by one and run out. Before I got out of the courtyard of the grain management office, the wind and sand completely covered the world.

The sandstorm is coming.

After sending away the village cadres, Lin Yawen was not sure, and urgently notified the township party committee to send the cadres in the township down, and made it clear that the first task was to ensure the personal safety of the villagers, and they were not allowed to come back until the wind and sand completely stopped. After sending the township cadres, she also went to Shawan Village, and as soon as she turned the road of the grain management office, she saw that the four fields were already in chaos. The people in the field ran home, the sand beams ran into the grass, and the student dolls were also frightened, and they drilled around, frightening the adults to shout all over the village. A chicken crows on the haystack, and as soon as it opens its throat, the wind swept into the air, startling the hostess with a rooster, and her throat is filled with sand. When it fell, it had been scraped dozens of meters away. Two sheep tethered to a poplar tree let the wind tear the rope and stumbled and ran, one fainted on a telephone pole and the other rolled into a well. The haystacks in the village were overturned, and the grass danced and covered the ground.

Lin Yawen and a group of people from the food management institute first sent the student dolls home. The wind ripped her clothes and pulled her hair, her ears were filled with sand, and she couldn't hear the bright light that was so close at hand. Qiang Guangjing had no choice but to hold her and shout into her ear: "County Magistrate Lin, you go back to the township to command, there are us here." Lin Yawen ignored Qiangjing, she saw a child stumbling and falling into the dry ditch, fortunately the dry ditch had no water, so she jumped in and picked him up and asked whose family it was. The child was so frightened that he threw himself into her arms and cried.

Asked and asked, the child was Chen Xiwa's. When Chen Xiwa's son was sent home, the black wind struck. The really terrifying thing was the black wind, and it was only then that Shawan knew that the most terrible time had come. They all hid in their homes, and the doors were shut, listening to the roar of the black wind. The tree was scraped off, and the red willow was uprooted and rolled into the air. The heavens and the earth are dirty, and the real hand is not visible.

The black wind lasted for a day and a night, and the whole desert seemed to be ransacked, and a foot of yellow sand covered the whole village, and the fields were gone, the wheat seedlings were gone, the green trees were gone, the grass was gone, and the world was yellow. Shawan people want to cry without tears.

Lin Yawen once again understood the power of the sandstorm.

An investigation meeting on the deforestation incident in Nanhu Lake was finally held at the Drainage Management Office. Qi Maolin, secretary of the county party committee, arrived in a strong wind, the car was trapped on the road for five hours, and the mobile phone signal was also cut off. Through the car window, he saw with his own eyes that a family's house had been overturned, and several times he had to go down, but was forcibly locked in the car by the driver. Fortunately, after the wind stopped, he ran to the house, and no one was hurt, and everyone hid in the water cellar. After several years of continuous drought, the water cellars have all become furnishings, and people and livestock have to go to desert reservoirs dozens of miles away to pull drinking water, and this expenditure alone has increased the burden on the peasants by several hundred yuan. Unfortunately, the reservoir dried up last year, but later the State Council allocated special funds, and with the support of upstream provinces and cities, the reservoir was not allowed to see the bottom.

As soon as Qi Maolin arrived in Populus euphratica, he first made arrangements for disaster relief. The damage caused by this sand and dust attack to the peasants can be described as enormous, and after just one day of investigation, the investigation could not continue, all the crops were destroyed, and the damage to the houses was also very severe. Qi Maolin urgently arranged for all departments in the county to fully support the farmers, first helping the farmers to settle their homes and have access to water, and then find ways to fight the disaster.

The on-site meeting was jointly held by the Municipal Party Committee and the Department of Water Resources, and the main leaders of the city also came, and everyone was in a heavy mood. When Qi Maolin was in the provincial capital, he reported the incident of Nanhu to the main leaders of the Water Conservancy Department, but he did not know that there were dead people at that time, and the subject of the report was still that woodland. Qi Maolin asked the provincial department to send experts again to demonstrate that the reform of the convection management department must be carried out on the premise of protecting the desert ecology. At that time, the provincial department also agreed, saying that it was sending people down. Now there are dead people, and not one, another bulldozer driver died in the gale, and the nature of the problem has changed suddenly, and everyone does not talk about deforestation, but directly targets the villagers of Shawan Village and the instigators behind it, which makes Qi Maolin very passive.

The meeting lasted an hour before the investigation began. More than 20 villagers in Shawan Village were called one after another, but strangely none of them admitted that the township leaders were behind the instructions, and they all said that the villagers spontaneously wanted to kill and chop them. Qi Maolin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the other felt pain in his heart. Obviously, the villagers were extremely antagonistic, and they spoke hard and did not take the leaders of the municipal party committee seriously. After investigating for a long time, but nothing came out of the investigation, Qi Maolin felt breathless, and looked at the large crops and farmhouses destroyed by the sand and dust, and his heart was even heavier. During the meal, he quietly discussed with the city leaders whether he could drive in a different direction, and it would be useless to drive like this. The city leader glared at him viciously: "Do you know what you provoked, this is more serious than '121'!" ”

When it opened again in the afternoon, the city leaders became angry. Lin Yawen, the county magistrate, did not attend the meeting, saying that she went to the disaster relief site. The two deputy directors from the provincial department had great opinions, and they were supposed to hold the county leaders accountable in the afternoon, but Lin Yawen, the team leader, did not come, which was tantamount to demonstrating to the provincial department. The city leader asked Qi Maolin to call in person, Qi Maolin walked out of the venue, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly along the sand beams, looking around as he walked, the fields after the sand and dust were washed, full of desolation, the thick yellow sand swallowed up the greenery of the earth, and the villagers in the distance were busy cleaning up the sand in the fields. The village is grayish-yellow in color. Qi Maolin remembered the time when he was the secretary of Populus euphratica Township, at that time, although the sand lake was dry, but the greenery of the north and south lakes came to the face as soon as spring, red willow, sand thorn, poplar, these psammophytes greeted the arrival of spring with a full attitude, hares jumped around in it from time to time, gray pigeons flew in flocks to the sand nest, the scenery was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes back. It's only been a few years, and Shahu has become like this, and if it goes on like this, the farmers of Huyang Township will really not be able to gain a foothold. As soon as he thought about this question, Qi Maolin felt that his heart was blocked by something, he couldn't spit it out if he wanted to, he couldn't swallow it, and he was so choked that he wanted to yell at the desert twice.

As he walked, his footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a stone tablet, most of which had been buried in sand, revealing only two words on it: Populus euphratica. Qi Maolin's mind flashed a set of shots, the fiery Yangge team, the deafening gongs and drums, the people wearing red and colors, and the proud oath. At that time, he had just been elected deputy county magistrate, and a huge movement to flatten sand and land began. The county proposed to transform the desert into fertile land in five years, creating a miracle in human history and turning the vast desert into a commercial grain base. So batch after batch of immigrants moved from all corners of the mountainous area, and people called horses and horses, so it was not lively. Forests of sand and dates have been cut down, bulldozers have been barking day and night, one development zone after another has cut ribbons and erected monuments in the desert, and one after another machine wells have begun to pump water out, and the situation is very gratifying. At the foot of Qi Maolin, this well-filled development zone in Poplar Township was cut by him himself, and his photo was still on the front page of the party newspaper of the prefectural party committee at that time, and the scenery was very beautiful.

Qi Maolin sighed deeply, not knowing whether it was for himself or for the land under his feet, he retracted his gaze with difficulty, and left the stele with heavy steps. He forgot what he was doing, and returned to the conference room worriedly, only to remember that he had gone to call Lin Yawen. When I looked up, Lin Yawen, the county magistrate, was speaking. It's okay if she doesn't send it, but as soon as she sends it, the fire of the city leaders will start.

Lin Yawen's speech went straight to the two deputy directors of the provincial department, saying that the reform of the Huyang River Basin Management Office was the fundamental cause of the two vicious accidents, and that if the Drainage Management Office was allowed to destroy thousands of acres of forest land in Qingtu Lake and Nanhu Lake, I, the county magistrate, would be a sinner in history.

The city leader lost his temper when he took her words: "You are a sinner, so it proves that all of us here have no party spirit and no consideration for the people?" Comrade Yawen, today's meeting is not to discuss the reform of the Huyang River Valley, but to let you reflect on yourself. If you have opinions to put forward and you can talk about opinions, but shouldn't you learn a lesson from gathering crowds to make trouble, fighting collectively, and killing two people? ”

Lin Yawen thought for a moment and said a little sadly: "It is every leader here who has learned the lesson, and every one of us who has power in our hands. ”

"Yawen!" Qi Maolin interrupted her and used gestures to stop her from being impulsive. In this case, a single sentence may negate all your work. This trip to the province, Qi Maolin deeply felt the difficulty and complexity of the reform of the Huyang River Basin, which not only involved the unemployment of thousands of people, but also a river system with a history of several hundred years suddenly ceased to exist and disappeared forever on this earth. As soon as this river system disappears, it is very likely that the world-famous desert reservoir will disappear next. What are a few thousand workers in comparison?

The meeting lasted for two days and ended in a very unpleasant atmosphere, at which preliminary opinions were formed, and the reform of the Poplar River basin was suspended, and then deepened after extensive discussion in relevant aspects. The Municipal Public Security Bureau has made every effort to solve the case of the villagers in Shawan Village who were killed by a collective fight, and no one is allowed to interfere. As for the responsibility of the county and township leaders in this incident, the county should examine itself and report it to the city party committee after giving its opinion. At the same time, the meeting demanded that the city and county levels must make every effort to mobilize to help the peasants in Huyang Township carry out production and self-help.

As soon as the meeting ended, the provincial and municipal leaders drove away without even eating a working meal. Qi Maolin sent the leader to the car, and turned around to say something to Lin Yawen, but saw that Lin Yawen's figure had disappeared into the vast sea of sand.

It was also in this afternoon, after the leaders all left, Zhu Shibang walked out of the courtyard of the development company alone. In the past two days, four leaders have talked to him, and the specific content is unknown, but judging from the breath on his face, there is absolutely no good content in the conversation, otherwise, his face would not be as black as a potsticker.

Zhu Shibang lost weight, it was only a few days of work, he lost a lot of weight, a pair of eyes were sunken, around the eye circles, black and blue, hair grew like artemisia grass, and the collar of his clothes was full of dirt. At first glance, it looks like I have just escaped from prison. The leaders asked him to tidy himself up, and he smiled and said, "Isn't this good, how can you tidy it up?" ”

Under the miserable white sun, Zhu Shibang crossed the newly paved road, went to the township, and halfway there, hesitated, he was thinking, should he meet Ning Suanjube and them at this time? Inside, he had heard about Ning Suanjube, and he also knew that the two bulldozer men were dead. He was so sad, very sad for a while, and deeply blamed himself, but he didn't change his mind because of this. When I talked to the leaders of the municipal party committee, I still had that stiff tone. "Even if you remove me or arrest me, this tree still can't be destroyed!"

The leaders of the municipal party committee couldn't do anything about him, after all, he didn't kill the people, he took the lead in rushing into Nanhu, but he didn't take the lead in beating people. When the villagers were fighting frantically, he also stopped the villagers with his throat, otherwise, he would not have been easily captured by Hong Guangda's bodyguards. Hong Guangda's bodyguard testified to this, that is a man with blood in the rivers and lakes, who knows righteousness, which is very different from Hong Guangda. I heard that because of his testimony, he has been expelled by Hong Guangda. Otherwise, the first person to be arrested by the public security is probably Zhu Shibang.

But he didn't have a trace of happiness, on the contrary, he felt that he was a little sorry for the villagers who lied to him just like this.

He straightened his clothes and went to the township ** courtyard. The strange thing is that Ning Sour Jujube on this day suddenly became obedient and honest, not only did he not rush to Zhu Shibang to spread wild, but also blushed at him from afar. Not long after Zhu Shibang walked into the office, Ning Suanzao retreated with his family. The yard was in a mess, with paper ashes scattered and paper flying in the sky. The left-behind township secretary ran in and asked, "They are gone, what should I do with the tent?" ”

"What do you say, withdraw it and send her back!" Zhu Shibang's fire was not sent by Chong Ning's sour jujube, he sent it to the secretary. He knew why Ning Suanjube slipped away, and while he was being criticized, in another room, Hong Guangda was also scolded by the two leaders of the provincial hall.

The matter between Ning sour jujube and Hong Guangda, Zhu Shibang is clear. Because he lived in the same village as Chu Fayun, he never pierced this layer of window paper. But there is no need to stab it now, the dead Chu Fayun is afraid that he doesn't know yet, his little stone has nothing to do with him at all. I hope Hong Guangda can still have a little conscience and don't let the mother and son suffer.

The township secretary took people to start withdrawing the tent, Zhu Shibang wiped his face, changed into clean clothes, and wanted to drink a glass of water, but found that the cup was gone, the thermos was gone, and the house made Ning Sujube's mother's family toss and turn.

"These unproductive people." He scolded and walked out, he was anxious to see Hu Erkui, the people who were arrested, what was the situation, he had to find out quickly.

Halfway down the road, I met the melon seedlings who were hurriedly walking with their heads down, and the melon seedlings didn't seem to see him, and they were anxious to jump past him. He shouted, Gua Yanzi stood down, looked up and saw that it was him, and immediately shouted in shock: "Secretary Zhu, it's not good, my father-in-law, my father-in-law ...... him"

"What's wrong with him?" Zhu Shibang was shocked.

"He fainted in Badaosha, and I couldn't carry it back." The melon seedlings were about to shed tears when they spoke, but Zhu Shibang pulled him up: "Hurry up." So the two of them went to Badaosha.

At this time, Hu Erkui, the village party secretary, was taking people to the well, this well is also strange, and the water could be brought up a few days ago, but a wind actually blew the water away. At the moment, there is no water to drink in the village, so we have to think about getting it out quickly. The well is far away from the village, and it is on the side of Shaliangzi, and the melon seedlings are in a hurry, so they run to the township first.

The father-in-law of the melon seedling is Chen Jiasheng, a hero of sand control, his deeds have been in the newspapers in the city, and Chen Yan has also interviewed him, but the old man is very stubborn and easily does not deal with people who eat official meals. After his son Chen Xiwa was arrested, the old man became a different person, he didn't say a word for a few days, and he also wanted to eat the rice sent by the melon seedlings. Let him go home, and his head will shake even more. Most of the time, he squatted on the sand beam, the monkey was crispy, staring at Tianwang. When the sandstorm rose, Hu Erkui was worried about him, sent more than seventy-two people, and said that he would also carry him back. As a result, he carried the shovel and beat back more than seventy-two people.

This old man is a strange man, if it weren't for the filial piety of the melon seedlings, he would go to see him every day, even if he let the sand be buried one day, I don't know.

When Zhu Shibang arrived at Badaosha, several women who had heard Xin'er had already lifted Chen Jiasheng onto the cart and were about to pull back. Zhu Shibang touched the old man's nose, his breathing was still there, but his face burned like a fire, and he knew that the old man had a cold. In this vagaries of the day, I slept in the nest of the earth, and it was strange that I didn't catch a cold. Fortunately, it is not as dangerous as said on the melon seedling road, Zhu Shibang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hurry up and send it to the township hospital, this iron old man, he can withstand this wind." ”

Zheng Fengshi, director of the flow management department, never left Shahu at all. He was at the flow pipe when the fight took place. This is the news that Lin Yawen heard afterwards.

There are three courtyards in the flow management office, the middle compound is the office area of the management office, which is very exquisitely repaired, the green trees are shady, the flowers and plants are thick, the path paved with gravel is winding and secluded, more than a dozen large and small pavilions and the long corridor will reflect the courtyard with the elegance and beauty of the Jiangnan Forest Garden, which was once a major scenery of the Sand Lake. To the south is the family area, a two-story small building with a small courtyard each, simple and practical. The north compound is the Engineering Agency, and when the flow pipe was on fire in the past, it was really full of traffic. Every year, there are no less than 50 million large and small projects, plus cooperation projects and international aid projects in other river basins, the engineering department can be said to be overflowing, and the engineering team in the surrounding villages wants to get a job, and whether they can enter this compound has become the key. At that time, Zheng Fengshi was just an ordinary technician, but in the hearts of the peasants, his power was boundless, he said that if you rework, you have to rework, and he said that if you are not qualified, you will not receive money. The peasants secretly gave him a nickname: Iron Rooster. It means that he is too picky and has so much money, but he has a lot of money to deal with the peasant engineering team, and it is more difficult to get him to sign than to find the director of the engineering department. Time has passed, and the technician, who was in his twenties, is now the governor of the province's second largest river basin, but the people no longer ask him to sign it, because five years ago the Agency was dissolved because it had been unable to work, leaving only a pile of broken copper and iron, and 500 unemployed workers. The yard was sold to Hong Guangda long before the dissolution of the Agency, and it became the head office of Hong Guangda. In the past two years, the common people secretly gave Zheng Fengshi a nickname: iron broom. It means that if he sweeps away this iron broom, the green of the desert will be gone.

On the night of the fight in Nanhu, Zheng Fengshi was in his own small second floor in the South Courtyard. Lin Yawen went in that building, not long after she went to the county to serve as the acting county magistrate.

That meeting was of extraordinary significance to the two of them, and to this day, Lin Yawen's mind is still full of details of that day.

The wind was warm that day, and the sun was shining, which made people's hearts itch. Lin Yawen and Zheng Fengshi have not met again since they parted from college. It's not that there are no chances, there are many opportunities, but I just don't see them. Lin Yawen didn't dare to see each other, afraid that once they met, they would never want to be separated. Although she knew that the two would never have a chance to get back together, and there was no possibility of getting back together, Lin Yawen's heart really kept pulling the once vigorous and crazy and green emotional vines. After all, that large branch was the first time that her girlish feelings opened, and it was also the first time that she was born as a woman to open up a piece of green in the heart of the man she admired, and let it run wild, so that her unfamiliar heart grew so many intricate and dense vines that could not be cut endlessly. When the glass jar of her first love suddenly shattered, the pool of clear water for her to breathe and dance freely was spilled, and she was thrown to the cold concrete floor like a fish, she suddenly did not know where the sky was, where the green land was, and where the river was. After all these years of separation, Lin Yawen has slowly become accustomed to life on the shore, and she swears that she will never fall into the water again, no matter how delicate, transparent, warm and emotional the tank is, she will not put herself in it.

In other words, her love life has gone to the other side, rough, concise, pragmatic, and even slightly numb. Fortunately, she didn't die in that well, but fortunately she walked into the forest of feelings again, although this time she walked a little helplessly and a little desolate, but after all, she was gone.

Lin Yawen had messy thoughts, as well as a little hostility, a little nostalgia, and a little expectation towards Zheng Fengshi...... walked into the flow management office and walked into the small second floor of Director Zheng Da. The strange thing is that the reunion after many years is so plain, so bland, not as romantic and warm as imagined, the things that should be born have not been born, and the things that should not have been born have not been born. Later, the two of them were completely businesslike, with that attitude and tone, as if they met every day and quarreled about something yesterday.

This meeting made Lin Yawen's heart blocked for a long time, and she couldn't dredge it, she felt that time had pulled something down, pulled in a certain position in the years, and if she wanted to find it, she had to work hard to pull the time back.

That day, Lin Yawen came to beg Zheng Fengshi, she was forced by money, and as soon as she arrived in Shahu, she encountered a money crisis, she wanted to try her luck with Zheng Fengshi to see if she could help her get through the difficulties.

The layout of the second floor of the small is simpler than Lin Yawen imagined, and it is also poor, Lin Yawen said in surprise: "Why, pretend to be honest in the desert." Zheng Fengshi smiled, his smile was no longer the color it used to be, Lin Yawen saw a stained color that had been soaked in time, and there was something called vicissitudes. Zheng Fengshi was not surprised by her arrival at all, as if he had calculated that she was going to come to the door, and said while pouring water: "Corruption will not be in this poor place." The two chatted a few words, and looked at each other with their eyes, but that gaze was no longer called gaze, it was really not called. What is it called, Lin Yawen thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with a proper word.

Later, Lin Yawen said about borrowing money.

Zheng Fengshi got up from the sofa and stared at her with a strange gaze: "Do you really think that I am a corrupt person and open my mouth so widely?" Lin Yawen squeezed out a smile and said: "It has nothing to do with me whether I am corrupt or not, there is a discipline inspection commission in charge, I have no choice, I ran to such a poor county in a daze, and I still want to let go and do a big job, who knows that before the ass sits firmly, I let the teachers who ask for wages be surrounded." As he spoke, he told the matter that Shahu County had been in arrears of teachers' salaries for ten months, and asked Zheng Fengshi to help her no matter what, so that she could get through this difficult time and stand firm first.

"Are you afraid that *** won't be able to pass the test, and the code in front of the county magistrate can't be removed?" Zheng Fengshi is really Zheng Fengshi, it can really be said that in one sentence, he stabbed her in the vital place. After many years, he still speaks so ruthlessly, and his temper has not changed at all, Lin Yawen is in her heart to add to this classmate who she has not met for a long time...... There seems to be another layer of perspective. Seeing that her face was slightly flushed and people became less comfortable, Zheng Fengshi said again: "If you can't take it, it's best, listen to me, go home as soon as possible, don't do it." ”

"Why?" Lin Yawen was confused, she thought that Zheng Fengshi would encourage her and comfort her, but she didn't expect him to be like this.

"No reason, if you want to go back, you will go back, this place of Sand Lake is not something that people like you can do."

"What's wrong with people like me? Director Zheng, you're too mean, aren't you? Lin Yawen was suddenly unhappy, and her face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly became gloomy. Seeing that she was angry, Zheng Fengshi smiled, didn't answer her words, walked to the window, stared at the scenery outside and said nothing.

Lin Yawen was angry for a while, feeling that she was cautious, and she couldn't do anything with Zheng Fengshi. So he also went to the window and looked out. There is actually no scenery outside the window, except for a few crooked neck trees in the courtyard, and then a large weedy field. But Zheng Fengshi seems to have a lot of taste. Lin Yawen sighed, and returned her gaze to Zheng Fengshi's face, she found that this face was very unfamiliar, and there were many things written that she couldn't read. Some of them were written over the years, and some of them were written by himself.

She carefully studied this face for a while, and suddenly found that this face was not only written tired, but also confused, avoided, and written things that should not belong to him.

Why is this so? He's not a pessimist!

"Go back, Yawen, listen to my advice, or go to your office in the province." Zheng Fengshi suddenly said again. Zheng Fengshi's words this time were much gentler and more considerate, and Lin Yawen felt his sincerity and worries. She seemed to be moved, and said in an inquiring tone: "The people didn't drive me, you drove me, is this like you at the beginning?" ”

"It's not that I'm driving you, Yawen, you listen to me, you may have too high expectations for Shahu, I'm afraid of ......"

Zheng Fengshi returned to the sofa, and he didn't know which string moved in his head, so he told her very seriously for a long time, from the ups and downs of the flow pipe to the worrying prospects of Shahu County, and later talked about the gains and losses of the two people in this half of their lives, and finally said: "You and I are not suitable for officials, but I gave up my profession and strayed into the official career, I have no way out, I can only resign myself to fate, you can't, it's better to go back now, and engage in your scientific research with peace of mind, and it can be regarded as worthy of the senior brothers and sisters of the year and the division commander who has high hopes for you and me." ”

Zheng Fengshi was right, their division commander at that time, the most prestigious forestry scientist in the northwest, refused to agree with them to stop there and step into the door of society, but insisted on asking them to take the postgraduate examination and become his disciples. The sudden love change of clinker completely disrupted the lives of the two people, and at the same time shattered the various illusions of the two people about the future and life. Lin Yawen didn't want to stay on campus for a day, and Zheng Fengshi also wanted to escape from this troublesome place as soon as possible. Moreover, both of them are determined not to do empty knowledge in the ivory tower anymore, and they are both anxious to run to society, as for what to do if they run in, no one has thought about it, and it is too late to think about it.

Now it seems that after listening to the words of the teacher, life may be a different scene, but what is the use of saying this at this time?

Lin Yawen smiled with relief, she didn't want to put herself in her memories, which were sometimes painful and sometimes boring. The road of life has never been promising, and choosing means giving up, and walking is leaving, and there is never the possibility of returning to the starting point. Besides, she can't care about reminiscing or lamenting life at this time, she is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and if she can't borrow money, the teachers in the county will go on strike. It's not a joke, it's not a joke, it's not a joke, it's not a joke, it's not a joke, it's not a joke to scare her, it's not a joke to scare her, there are already two school districts where teachers don't attend classes, and if teachers do work together to put on a show like this, her political future will come to an abrupt end here. Lin Yawen was unwilling, now that she had come down, she vowed to make a career in Shahu County. She was a woman who never gave up, and after six years of sitting in that seat in the Forestry Division, she sat a little tired and a little lost. Now that the environment has changed, the heat in her heart seems to be back.

"Tell me, to borrow or not to borrow?"

"You treat me as a gold mine, and I won't tell you that my wages have not yet been settled." Zheng Fengshi said.

"What?" Lin Yawen was shocked. At that time, she didn't know the real situation of the flow management department, and thought that Zheng Fengshi was joking with her.

"It's true, my employees haven't been paid for half a year." Zheng Fengshi told her very seriously.

"What's going on, wasn't it still in the past two years?"

Zheng Fengshi smiled: "Have you heard the story of a multimillionaire who collapsed overnight, besides, the flow management office is not a multimillionaire, it is a dried tree, the leaves are green, and the trunk is dead." Zheng Fengshi's words seemed a little sad, but that day he didn't hide it from Lin Yawen and told the predicament encountered by the flow management department one by one.

Only then did Lin Yawen know that Zheng Fengshi's life was not better than her at all, and the flow management office was indeed in a difficult situation, no wonder there was always such a layer of gray depression in his eyes.

Lin Yawen really didn't borrow money that time, and later she learned from other channels that the development of the flow management office had reached a dead end, and she said that she asked Zheng Fengshi to help the county get through the difficulties, but she was afraid that it was his own difficulties, and he couldn't cope with them. Fortunately, there are few people in the flow management department, and they are all accustomed to the laws of the market, and the tolerance of the workers is a little stronger than that of the cadres in the county, so Zheng Fengshi can show that peace.

Lin Yawen felt sad for a while, half of this sadness was for Zheng Fengshi, and half for the once brilliant and infinite flow management office.

In the face of reform, those things that were once brilliant and dazzling always have to be broken first, and it is inevitable that some people will be pushed to the forefront to bear the tremendous pressure brought about by reform. Whether this is joy or sorrow, Lin Yawen can't tell, she just feels that such a reality is too cruel and too heavy.

In those days, Lin Yawen ran around and ran all the relationships, but the teacher's salary was still not settled, half a month has passed, and the time she promised the teachers is getting closer and closer, but the money is like a pile of peaches growing on someone else's tree, she can smell the fragrance, but she can't pick it. The situation was frustrating for her. Just when she was at a loss, Zheng Fengshi suddenly called, saying that there were five million, and the county would borrow it for half a year. Lin Yawen couldn't believe it. Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the five million emergency responses, which alleviated the contradictions among teachers, it would be difficult to say whether the code on Lin Yawen's head could be removed. What she has done in the past two years can be regarded as a dark horse in the history of Shahu, and she is in the limelight, and she has the posture of overpowering the secretary Qi Maolin.

Lin Yawen later learned that the money was allocated by the Provincial Department of Water Resources to solve the pension of employees. At that time, the reform of the flow management office was already on the agenda, and the plan of the provincial department was to pay off the arrears of employee pensions at one time, and the rest of the contradictions would be resolved by the flow management office itself. Unexpectedly, as soon as the money turned, it would not be repaid for a long time, and the plan of the provincial department was disrupted, so Zheng Fengshi was subjected to many batches from above, and there was news that the above wanted to remove him from his post several times, but he could not find a suitable person to take over this mess for a while, so he repeatedly dragged down the reform of the flow management department. And Lin Yawen's side still doesn't have the ability to pay back the remaining two million happily.

How can you be happy? The county owes teachers four months of wages, and the salaries of cadres in party and government organs cannot be guaranteed.

After the bloody fight in Nanhu, Zheng Fengshi did not jump out like "121", ran to the province and the county, and did not hide in an unknown place as Hu Erkui said. He was at home, practicing calligraphy behind closed doors. Zheng Fengshi likes calligraphy, as early as in college under the famous calligraphy master Xie Hanyun Xie Lao, graduated from university, he has emerged in the northwest calligraphy circle, these years in the province calligraphy industry is also a little famous, occasionally the south or ** lovers come to ask for words. Whenever something unpleasant happened, he locked himself in a humble room and borrowed ink to dispel his sorrows. The provincial department and the city jointly held an on-site meeting, and although Zheng Fengshi participated in the meeting, he didn't say a word, and let the boss of the development company say anything. Lin Yawen also questioned him at the meeting at the time, ** The smell was very strong, I didn't think that he would pretend to be deaf and dumb, and ignore Lin Yawen's stubble at all.

Lin Yawen now understands that Zheng Fengshi played the golden cicada shell, and threw all the contradictions to the development company, so that Lin Yawen went toe-to-toe with the wealthy and unreasonable Boss Hong, while he himself sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

After the meeting, Lin Yawen came to him twice and wanted to ask him face to face, why is this so, and what problems can't be sat down to talk? It's a pity that when she didn't see Zheng Fengshi twice, the bespectacled secretary of the flow management office told her that Zheng Fengshi went to Xinjiang and he couldn't say exactly what he did.

As soon as he returned to the county, Qi Maolin presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee to urgently study the aftermath of the Nanhu incident.

The meeting was rather dull, and the Standing Committee members all had dark faces and did not speak.

After the "121" incident, two factions of opinion were formed in the county, one of which had a very strong opinion on the flow management office, holding that the practice of the flow management office had seriously damaged the development environment of Shahu County and undermined the excellent situation of stability and unity in Shahu County, and that it should be reported to the province and resolutely stopped. The other faction is moderate, advocating that the relationship between the two families should not be stiffened, and as for the thousands of acres of forest land, they believe that the property rights belong to the flow management office, and the county has no right to interfere. Qi Maolin disagrees with both factions, and deforestation is indeed hateful, but simple protests and disturbances will not solve any problems. Qi Maolin advocates communication and solves problems on the basis of a consensus between the two sides. For this reason, he talked to Zheng Fengshi several times, and Zheng Fengshi's words made him feel emotional, everyone is in the reform period, and the problems they face are both the same and different. If it is transformed into a cotton base or a breeding farm, it will not only solve the employment of a large number of workers, but also form a new industry and promote the economic development of Sand Lake. As the secretary of the county party committee, Qi Maolin dreamed of making Shahu a new economic growth point. He carefully read the reform plan of the flow management office, and was very interested in the creation of a cotton industry base in Qingtu Lake and the creation of a one-stop breeding base in Nanhu in the northwest of the flow management office. If the development company is able to develop the grass farming and breeding industry in Shahu, the county's financial situation will be greatly improved.

At the demonstration meeting of the reform plan of the flow management department, Qi Maolin raised his fist on behalf of the county, which means that he did not oppose deforestation at that time. But the "121" incident made him passive, and he was scolded by the leaders of the Water Resources Department for going back on his word, openly supporting it, and secretly obstructing it, pushing the already struggling flow pipe up the crater. Qi Maolin couldn't explain it to others. The Nanhu incident embarrassed him again, and these days he has become the target of public criticism, and he has been accused and criticized by public opinion from all sides all day long. On the one hand, he was asked to take into account the overall situation, make local sacrifices, and support the reform of the flow management department. On the other hand, he strongly urged him to love the forest, protect the ecology, and think about the future generations of Shahu. For a while, he really didn't know how to walk, the cries on both sides were very high, and the cries on both sides were also reasonable, he was caught in the middle, like a mouse in the bellows, only angry, how could there be a chance to return the favor? Before the meeting, he received a telephone call from Director Feng of the Provincial Department of Water Resources, asking him to stand up in a clear-cut manner, support the reform of the flow management department, and not set up obstacles to the reform of the flow management department. He has an old relationship with Director Feng, Feng is his old superior, and he is even more clear about Feng's prospects, at this time, he can't help but consider this factor. Even though he is old and has no chance of being promoted, not being promoted does not mean that you can do whatever you want and not follow certain rules.

For an old county party secretary, he knows what the rules mean. Sometimes, rules are everything!

Can he cause trouble for Feng? Causing chaos in the flow pipe, to put it bluntly, is causing chaos to Feng. Can Feng allow him to add to this kind of chaos?

Feng's political ambitions, as well as iron-fisted methods, he understands much more than anyone else!

But how did he talk about this at the meeting?

After thinking about it, he made a few comments from the perspective of seeking a new economic growth point in Shahu County, but before he finished speaking, he was refuted by Lin Yawen. Lin Yawen came out this time, and it really tasted like catching someone to bite whom. At the meeting, she raised a pointed question: The large-scale development of aquaculture and grass cultivation is based on water resources, where does the water come from, and we must no longer frantically exploit groundwater, right?

These words stopped Qi Maolin. In order to protect the desert water resources, the county had shut down or filled many wells in accordance with the arrangements of the provinces and cities, but later the farmers' opinions were too great, and the county was unable to compensate, so the wells were temporarily stopped. At present, the annual amount of groundwater extraction in Shahu County accounts for more than 70 percent of the groundwater extraction in the entire basin, and the large-scale digging of wells in Shahu County to extract water has already threatened the entire basin. If you allow the flow pipe to extract a large amount of groundwater again, wouldn't it be a slap in the mouth?

"So what do you say?" Qi Maolin set his eyes on Lin Yawen. Qi Maolin was really emotional about his deputy, frankly speaking, he respected her, this young woman from the provincial government was indeed capable, and helped him solve a lot of problems after arriving in Shahu, for which he was very grateful to her, if there was no Lin Yawen, his life would be much sader, after all, the cadres sent to the upper level have much greater advantages than their "native products", and their work ideas are much broader. Also, she is a woman, and it is said that her work has nothing to do with men and women, but in actual work, you will find that men and women are different. With such a beautiful and capable woman in the team, a team can be active. Qi Maolin deliberately made an observation, whether it was a meeting at the grassroots level or at the county level, as long as Lin Yawen was present, the atmosphere would be lively, and sometimes everyone would subconsciously wait for her to express their opinions. As long as her opinion is not too outrageous, it will definitely pass. It's a blessing to have such a young woman as a partner. Qi Maolin himself admitted that at work, intentionally or unintentionally, he was letting her and taking care of her. Can't let her be wronged, this is a criterion he set for himself. Some things are obviously not on her side, and Qi Maolin will also give three points. This is not an unhealthy psychology, Qi Maolin thinks he is doing very frankly, in fact, not only him, but also Sun Tao, the secretary of the municipal party committee, also looks at her differently. Although Secretary Sun Tao never said it, he could feel it.

Man, who doesn't have the psychology of pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade, and besides, this incense should also be pitied, and this jade should also be cherished. It's a pity that a "121" broke their harmonious relationship of friendly coexistence.

After "121", Lin Yawen seems to have changed, and Qi Maolin can't figure it out, sometimes she feels that she is very simple, and there are not many bends in her heart at all, and sometimes, she feels that her nerves are fluttering and ungraspable. Qi Maolin is not afraid of putting forward opinions, and he is not afraid of public noise, and it is okay to do work, if you are afraid of putting forward opinions, it is okay to be afraid of quarrels. In his life, Qi Maolin has quarreled and argued, and there are few? If you think about it, I'm afraid that your heart will be blocked long ago. What he is afraid of is that she does not agree with your thoughts, she will hide her thoughts and not tell you clearly, and in specific matters, she will force you to follow her thoughts. Although it was not yet possible to determine what Lin Yawen was hiding, the discord in several meetings had reminded him that she had other thoughts in her head.

"I'm not too mature at the moment, but the problem of Populus euphratica is by no means as simple as protecting a few forests, I remind everyone to think about the long term, to think about the extreme difficulties, even if the flow management is not deforested, can our villagers survive there for a long time? You can go to the desert reservoir to see how much water is stored this year, and it can be said that it is empty talk to ensure that the crop income is increased! ”

Lin Yawen told the truth, she expressed everyone's foresight, and the Standing Committee members were all in a heavy mood when they heard it. Qi Maolin was worried that the meeting might go off topic if it was held like this, so he said in a consultative tone: "Let's not talk about the deep-seated issues first, but for now, we should unify our thinking and think about how to overcome the current difficulties." ”

Lin Yawen did not compete with Qi Maolin this time, she said: "My opinion is to take two steps, the first step is to focus on the present, merge the problems of South Lake, North Lake and Qingtu Lake, and the county will come up with opinions, and then negotiate with the flow management office. In short, we cannot unconditionally give in because the reform of the flow management department is difficult, and it is not a question of who supports whom, but how the entire river basin will survive and develop. Of course, those who constitute a crime in this incident must be punished, and no matter who is involved, they must not cover up or connive at it. Again, I say that the contradiction must not be resolved by illegal means, which will fundamentally change the nature of the problem. We should also draw a lesson from this incident, actively help the masses to do a good job in changing their thinking, and give them a satisfactory answer. The second step is to take a long-term view, integrate the development of the county with the development of the poplar river basin, come up with a strategic long-term plan, and strive to win the support of the province or the central government. The Huyang River valley is a cross-century project that tests our work style and does practical things for the people, and we must be worthy of the 300,000 people of Shahu County and the power in our hands! Lin Yawen's voice was very excited, these words have been buried in her heart, and she has no chance to say it, and now she can't stop saying it.

Qi Maolin didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

If you want to say this, it touches him the most. He finally knew that Lin Yawen was beginning to touch on the deep-seated problem. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but she was able to speak frankly and he was still grateful to her.

At the end of the meeting, the opinions on the handling of the leaders of Huyang Township were discussed, and Lin Yawen resolutely demanded that Zhu Shibang be suspended.

Qi Maolin took out a piece of paper and said that there was no need to remove him, and Comrade Zhu Shibang had taken the initiative to resign, and he reviewed his mistakes with the county party committee. Lin Yawen was suddenly silenced.

This news was so unexpected!

In view of Zhu Shibang's resolute resignation, the meeting finally decided that Comrade Wang Shulin would serve as secretary of the Huyang Township Party Committee, and Comrade Zhu Shibang would temporarily stay in Huyang Township to wait for the investigation by the relevant departments.

3

Two days later, Lin Yawen accompanied two comrades from the Organization Department of the county party committee to Huyang Township. Originally, she could not have joined in the excitement, and the team adjusted this kind of thing, and the comrades of the organization department could announce it. But she couldn't help but come. First, Zhu Shibang's initiative to resign touched her a lot, not everyone has this kind of posture, she can't help but come, and it is also a gesture of hers. On the other hand, she also wanted to have a serious conversation with Zhu Shibang to understand his true thoughts. In the past two years, she has a regret, that is, she has communicated too little with Zhu Shibang. Lin Yawen believes that Zhu Shibang must have a lot of ideas in his head, especially for the next development of Huyang Township and the governance of the entire river basin, Lin Yawen wants to get inspiration from him. Although Zhu Shibang was suspended, this was only temporary, and there were also unavoidable hardships, and in her heart, Lin Yawen still hoped that he could go to a more important job. This is a thoughtful, ambitious and responsible man, the fault is only in the work method, for his next arrangement, Lin Yawen has her own plans, she disagreed with Qi Maolin again and again at the meeting, just because she was afraid that Qi Maolin would use this piece of good steel on the back of the knife by mistake in the name of adjustment.

It's not easy to find a good piece of steel, there are many grassroots officials in Shahu County, but how many people really dare to sacrifice themselves for the people to do things? If you don't cherish and protect it, it's a great sin.

With a lot of emotion, Lin Yawen came to Huyang Township, but before the car turned onto the road leading to the township, the villagers blocked it again.

took the lead, or Hu Erkui, the village party secretary.

Seeing Lin Yawen get out of the car, Hu Erkui was the first to come over and asked unreasonably: "Why did you remove Secretary Zhu, you removed the good officials, what is the purpose of Ande?" Seventy-two or so also gathered around, gossiping and shouting.

Lin Yawen was taken aback by Hu Erkui's attitude, how did Hu Erkui, who was still shrinking his head last time, suddenly become ......

When she heard that she was crying out for Zhu Shibang, Lin Yawen had a bottom in her heart, and she said calmly: "Whether he is a good official or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, the organization will come to a conclusion." ”

"Organization, what is the organization, square and round, I can't see it." Seventy-two has always been a person with an oily tone, about relying on Hu Erkui's support, today's tone of speech is particularly hard, and he makes a gesture while talking, and the people on the side are amused by him, and burst into laughter. Lin Yawen was unhappy in her heart, but she tried to endure it, and she couldn't get angry at this time. Getting angry among the masses is the most stupid style of work. In addition to this fire, you must send it, and if you don't send it, you may not be able to control the situation. When you can endure it, patience is the best policy.

"I also said that the organization, it's you, Cheng Xin can't get along with Secretary Zhu, and said, why did you remove him?" Liu Camel was originally a very honest person, and on this day, his performance was also quite outstanding, holding a red wicker, pointing at Lin Yawen, and asking with a malicious face.

Lin Yawen glanced at the black and thin Liu Camel, and didn't say anything, as soon as Seventy-two and Liu Camel spoke, she knew that this was calculated in advance, Hu Erkui wanted to provoke her with these two people, and only when she was angered could the other masses be able to coax. The crowd coaxed together, and Hu Erkui's goal was achieved. The ideas of the village party secretaries seem complicated, but in fact, they are very simple. After all, they are honest farmers.

You want to provoke me, but I'm not angry! Lin Yawen coldly turned her gaze to Hu Erkui: "Let your people go away, today is not the time to talk about this." ”

"I can't help if I can't go away, I'm no longer a branch secretary." Hu Erkui said in a strange tone.

"What?" Lin Yawen was secretly shocked and didn't understand the meaning of Hu Erkui's words.

"You removed Secretary Zhu, and Secretary Hu didn't want to do it anymore, he resigned!" Seventy-two pulled his throat and said.

"Not only the branch secretary Hu, but half of the party secretaries in the township have resigned, are you satisfied now?" Liu Camel's voice was even higher.

"Nonsense!" This time it was Lin Yawen's turn to be anxious, she really didn't expect that dealing with Zhu Shibang would cause so many chain reactions, "Wang Shulin, call your Wang Township Chief." Seeing that everyone was blocking the car, and they couldn't leave for a while, Lin Yawen said to Seventy-two.

"I don't care if he is Township Chief Wang or Township Chief Ma, we will recognize Secretary Zhu, and if you really dare to remove Secretary Zhu today, you don't want to go back in this sand nest."

"Yes, let's make it clear, what did Secretary Zhu do wrong, why did the county want to remove him?" The crowd began to quarrel again, and the shouting rang out. As soon as Vice Minister Xu of the Organization Department saw the situation, he was anxious to call the township, but it happened that the signal here was not good, she could hear the other party's feeding, but the other party could not hear her.

Lin Yawen thought to herself, today's meeting, anxious and idle, it is impossible to deal with it in one or two clicks, the villagers are obviously prepared, it is better to take this opportunity to grind with the villagers for a while, maybe you can grind something. She simply walked to the side of the road, unhurriedly found a stone to sit down, and looked at Hu Erkui.

Hu Erkui had a layer of pride on his face, he had indeed made an oral report to the township party committee, saying that he would not do it, this number was wronged, he was not the head, it was better for An An to be a farmer, plant his own land, and feed his wife, those trees, who loves to cut them down, it is his business! As soon as he made a report, the branch secretaries of the five villages in Huyang Township followed suit, which was tantamount to a demonstration to the township party committee.

Although Lin Yawen didn't know the details yet, she could see from Hu Erkui's face that it was ominous. I thought to myself, Zhu Shibang has really become a tree in Populus euphratica, with deep roots and lush leaves, and as soon as this tree moves, the branches and leaves below will all move.

Just thinking about it, the township magistrate Wang Shulin ran over in a panic, and scolded as he ran: "Hu Laoer, you bastard, dare to stop the county magistrate's car, I think you don't want to live anymore." ”

Hu Erkui snickered and squeezed a glance at Seventy-two. Seventy-two rushed over and stopped in front of Wang Shulin.

"Seventy-two, you wolf eat, what do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything, Township Chief Wang, no, Secretary Wang, please go back, today, let's talk to County Magistrate Lin, it's none of your business."

"It's against you? Get out of the way! Wang Shulin shouted violently, and was so frightened that Seventy-two stumbled back, and Wang Shulin hurriedly ran over: "Lin County, I'm sorry, I just arrived in the township, what's the matter, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, right?" ”

Lin Yawen didn't answer the topic, and when she saw Wang Shulin sweating profusely, she asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"He also said, these heartless people don't pick up sooner or later, and they pick on this juncture. At present, the crops are to be watered for two rounds, and the branch secretary of the family is looking for the water pipe every day, and they are good and have a good relationship with me. ”

"Well deserved!" Seventy-two snatched the words and sneered: "You think the secretary is so easy to be a secretary, you have the ability, you will learn from Secretary Zhu, and the first one will give us water." ”

"Seventy-two, you wolf eat, your mother has a stomachache and rolls in the health center, you are good, run on the road to spread the wild, see this is over, how can I clean you up?"

Seventy-two heard this, his eyes widened: "You are talking nonsense, my mother was fine yesterday, you dare to curse my mother?" ”

"Yesterday? I said you kid or human, no? Yesterday was good, but today my stomach doesn't hurt? I'm still stunned about what to do, hurry up and send it to the county hospital, why do I look like acute enteritis. ”

Seventy-two frightened Wang Shulin's words, turned around and ran towards the village. He didn't go home last night, and played cards with Song Er Toad until dawn, when the sun shadow appeared, Liu Camel went to Song Er's toad's house and called them, saying that it was to discuss matters, and Seventy-two went to Liu Camel's house without washing his face. His mother is sixty-three years old this year, and she is not fixed in anyone's house, and the five brothers take turns to raise him, and one of them lives in his house for two months, and these days happen to be at his house, if there is a mistake, the four brothers still don't eat him?

Seventy-two's two older brothers also ran away.

After a moment of commotion, the crowd calmed down again, and Wang Shulin saw Hu Erkui sitting on the side looking at the scenery in a pretentious manner, and the anger came up: "Hu Laoer, take your people away, I won't settle accounts with you about today's matter, but I will say ugly things ahead, if there is one less drop of water in the field, and a seedling is drought, you will compensate me for the loss!" ”

Hu Erkui didn't speak, but the honest Liu Camel interjected: "Who are you scaring about, people are not doing it, you are looking for someone who has the ability to ask for water." ”

"You-" Wang Shulin glared at Liu Luoluo viciously, wanting to scold, but the words went around his mouth in a circle, but he didn't scold.

"What the hell is going on?" Lin Yawen asked.

"You ask him." Wang Shulin looked at Hu Erkui and said. Lin Yawen found that Hu Erkui was far less respectful of Wang Shulin than Zhu Shibang. Wang Shulin was so angry that smoke came out of his throat, but Hu Erkui put on a look of laughter.

"Erkui, what's going on?" Lin Yawen stood up from the ground and turned her gaze to Hu Erkui again.

"It's nothing, I don't want to do it." Hu Erkui said lazily.

"You dare!" Wang Shulin shouted. Lin Yawen stopped Wang Shulin and continued to ask: "What is the reason, is it because of Zhu Shibang?" ”

"You're right, if Secretary Zhu doesn't do it, all of us will resign." Hu Erkui replied very simply. In front of Lin Yawen, he was not afraid at all, and even had some kind of hatred. After listening to this, Lin Yawen turned around and said to Wang Shulin: "If you don't want to do it, you will be criticized, and I will resign a few batches, I don't believe that there are more than 50,000 people in Huyang Township, and I can't pick out a few leaders." ”

Wang Shulin didn't expect Lin Yawen to say this, and in front of Hu Erkui, she stuttered a little for a while, staring at her face with strange eyes, not knowing whether to express her position or not.

Lin Yawen secretly glanced at Hu Erkui, and found that Hu Erkui's face was a little stiff, just now he was not afraid of a fearless look, but at this moment, his neck shrank.

"Is there such a thing as a county magistrate, you will be approved as soon as people resign, what is this?" Liu Camel was anxious and pounced on him.

"Camel, get out of the way, it's not your right to speak." Wang Shulin was afraid that the villagers would make a coax again, so he stopped Liu Luoluo sharply. Lin Yawen said: "My county magistrate has such a temper, who wants to give me face, my face is uglier than his." After speaking, Li ignored Hu Erkui, raised his legs and walked out of the crowd. As soon as the crowd was about to close, Wang Shulin's scolding sounded: "Who dares to stop it, there is no way?" When you go back, the crops are dead, do you have the leisure to run to join in the fun? ”

The villagers were finally dismissed by Wang Shulin, and in Huyang Township, although Wang Shulin's prestige was not as high as Zhu Shibang's, he would never be unable to drink the villagers. In addition, a few days after he came out of the hospital, his head was still wrapped in gauze, and the last time he was beaten by Boss Hong's men, it became a good thing, and it brought him closer to the villagers.

Lin Yawen came to the countryside at this time.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the township, Wang Shulin said: "Lin County, I won't really agree to their resignation, others can resign, Hu Erkui can't resign, as soon as he resigns, Shawan Village will herd sheep." ”

"Who agreed to let him resign?" Lin Yawen asked rhetorically.

Wang Shulin looked at Lin Yawen stupidly: "You ...... just now"

"I said you were really confused or fake, and you believed what you just said?" Lin Yawen really convinced him, saying that he was honest, he was so honest that he couldn't even get angry. This elm pimple, when will it be able to open its mind?

Wang Shulin finally understood what Lin Yawen meant, patted his head a few times, and said frustratedly: "Look at my brain, I'm stupid." ”

The township meeting was held soon, and when he heard that the county party committee was really going to appoint him as secretary, Wang Shulin suddenly shouted: "No, this will never work, Secretary Zhu said that he can't leave anything, as soon as he leaves, I can't do this work." ”

"Who said let him go?" Lin Yawen interrupted him, she was worried about this, and the people below all said that Wang Shulin was the shadow of Zhu Shibang, and it seemed that this was not wrong at all. Wang Shulin was accustomed to the days of running the hall behind Zhu Shibang, and once he was allowed to take the lead, his weakness would be revealed.

"If you don't let him go, let him continue to be the secretary, I can't be the secretary." Wang Shulin said again.

"Why, you have to pick a son too, don't you?" Lin Yawen suddenly became angry, the township chief of other townships rushed to let the secretary go, so he sat in the number one seat one day earlier, it was good here, the township chief insisted on not letting the secretary go.

"It's not me who picks on the son, Lin County and Huyang Township are in a special situation, and Secretary Zhu is really gone." Wang Shulin said very sincerely.

"How special is it, I don't believe that without him, Zhu Shibang will not turn the earth? Lao Wang, don't bargain anymore, the county made such a decision, and it was not a child's play with Huyang Township. ”

"Linxian ......"

"Okay, don't stop mother-in-law and mother-in-law, the team's affairs are here, and let's discuss another topic, drought resistance and seedling protection."

The meeting lasted for most of the day, and as soon as he talked about the drought, Wang Shulin became excited, and he gave a comprehensive and detailed report on the drought situation in Populus euphratica Township, and as far as the current situation is concerned, 80 percent of the seedling fields are in urgent need of irrigation, and nearly 600 acres of forest land are also in urgent need of irrigation, but where does the water come from?

"What does the plumbing say?" After listening to Wang Shulin's report, Lin Yawen was also anxious, these days her energy has been occupied by the contradiction between the flow management office and Shawan Village, and the drought has been ignored.

"How else can I say that wolves have more meat and less meat, and they can't tell the difference, and this is the case every year."

"What about the well, how much can the well irrigation guarantee?"

"Even if you turn on all the pumps and pump them 24 hours a day, I'm afraid you won't be able to guarantee 20 percent." Wang Shulin's voice was soft and frustrating to listen to.

"How can this be, wasn't it guaranteed to be 60 percent last year?" Lin Yawen asked, flipping through her notebook, which had the numbers she had written down at last year's drought-fighting work conference.

"Last year was last year, this year the situation is very different, at the beginning of the year a third of the wells were closed, and the rest, the water level dropped, the water source is insufficient, even if it is pumped 24 hours a day, it may not be able to pump half of last year's water. Also, there has just been a sandstorm, and the agricultural canal is full of sand and seepage. ”

"Sand can be a reason, why not organize forces to clean up the sand first?" Hearing Wang Shulin say this, Lin Yawen's fire was even bigger, knowing that the sand would seep water, she still had to ......

Wang Shulin glanced at Lin Yawen, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I've been doing this work for the past two days, but ......"

"What the hell is going on, don't keep stammering!"

"The party secretaries of the five villages resigned, and the masses did not listen to the transfer, which was originally a difficult task, but now it is even more difficult."

Lin Yawen was speechless, she knew why Wang Shulin strongly opposed the adjustment of the team just now and did not let Zhu Shibang move, it seems that the county is really a bit hasty in doing this.

After being silent for a while, she said, "Without Zhu Shibang, these people really can't command?" ”

Wang Shulin raised his head, his gaze swept over Lin Yawen's face with difficulty, and then lowered his head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "After many years of getting used to it, they only listen to Secretary Zhu." ”

Lin Yawen was not in a hurry to get angry this time, and even secretly felt guilty for the violent attitude just now. After all, Zhu Shibang has worked in Huyang Township for more than ten years, and he has worked from a township clerk to a leader, so it is not surprising that this situation occurs. What matters now is how to help Wang Shulin open up the situation.

"In this way, you call them all, we will do the work separately, the village-level team must not be paralyzed, and we still expect them to tide over the difficulties."

Wang Shulin quickly sent someone to call someone, and during the adjournment, Lin Yawen exchanged views with Xu Ling of the Organization Department, and an hour later, six village party secretaries, including Hu Erkui, were brought to Lin Yawen and them separately and began to talk.

The conversation lasted for more than three hours, Lin Yawen talked so much that her throat was on fire, and the good things were said all over the place, but they didn't have any effect, except for Hu Erkui, who was silent and didn't say anything, the other five all had one voice: Zhu Shibang did it, they did it, Zhu Shibang didn't do it, they resolutely didn't do it!

This kind of embarrassing scene is the first time Lin Yawen has encountered it, it seems that the conversation is useless, these people are determined to have problems with the county. "Well, since you are determined not to do it, there is only one way, another election will be held on a later date."

Lin Yawen quickly reported the situation, and Qi Maolin exclaimed on the phone: "How can this be, when is it now, how can there be time for elections?" Besides...... "Qi Maolin didn't finish speaking, in fact, Lin Yawen understood what he was going to say, the village-level team is not as good as the township team, it is not that it can be adjusted by adjustment, if the township leader is to break the head and fight to do it, the role of the village party secretary is a bit of a rush. Every time the village-level leadership is changed, the counties and townships have to spend a lot of energy and do a lot of work in advance, and in this way, no one in individual villages is willing to take on this burden. According to the branch secretaries, only fools are willing to do this kind of thankless work that will be scolded from top to bottom. Lin Yawen believes that the substantive problem is still in the remuneration of village cadres, the northwest is not better than the south, in the south or coastal areas, the village party secretary is stronger than the big boss, and stronger than the state civil servant. But in the remote northwest, in the backward desert area, the remuneration of the village party secretary, that is, the income of a variety of land, is only 2,000 yuan. But there are many things you have to worry about and things to manage. For example, Hu Erkui, since the deforestation of the drainage pipe began, he has not been idle for a day, and he doesn't care about whether his land is barren or drought. After all, they are not cadres, they are not eating imperial grain, to put it bluntly, they are still farmers, and they have to rely on their own farming to support themselves.

Thinking of these problems, Lin Yawen's heart couldn't help but be heavy, and she also had another understanding of the six village party secretaries who said strange things and picked on them, and they also had difficulties.

What to do? It was too late to re-elect, and the township did not find a suitable candidate to replace and do the work, but they did not listen. Lin Yawen stumped herself. Qi Maolin handed over all the contradictions and difficulties to her on the phone, and asked her to stay in Huyang Township for a few more days, and then return to the county after the problem was solved.

After thinking about it all night, early the next morning, Lin Yawen said: "Find Zhu Shibang and let him come forward to do the work!" ”

"Looking for him?" Xu Ling, deputy director of the Organization Department, stared at Lin Yawen in confusion, and muttered in his heart, Zhu Shibang will still help the township do work now?

"There is only one way, if he doesn't come forward, this hurdle will not be passed." Lin Yawen said heavily.

"This ......" Xu Ling was stumped.

As he was talking, a bicycle bell rang in the courtyard, and soon, the cadres from the township came in and said that Secretary Zhu was back. Lin Yawen's heart was hot. Zhu Shibang asked for leave to leave the township three days ago, saying that his wife was sick and couldn't get up from lying on the kang, so he had to go back and wait for a few days. The township cadres privately said that Zhu Shibang had heard the news of his dismissal and was in a state of flux. Lin Yawen was also puzzled and didn't dare to jump to conclusions. Just when Lin Yawen was hesitating how to open this mouth with Zhu Shibang, she suddenly heard Zhu Shibang getting angry in the courtyard: "It's up to them, these wolf eyes, it's idle to say good things to them, go, woods, I don't believe they ate leopard gall!" When Lin Yawen heard the sound and walked out of the room, Zhu Shibang and Wang Shulin had already left the courtyard, and the two of them went to find Hu Erkui in a hurry.

Lin Yawen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Ling with a smile: "There's a play." ”

4

Zhu Shibang scolded in his throat, and the six village party secretaries obediently took the masses to the ditch to pick sand, and on the way back, Wang Shulin said uneasily: "Old Zhu, your scolding method is really unbearable, Xie Dabeard is older than you and me, you scolded him so much that he couldn't raise his head, and his daughter-in-law was angry with the doll in the yard, didn't you see it?" ”

"Don't scold, don't scold, can he listen to you? Shulin, in the future, your temperament will have to be changed, to deal with these masters, your face is too soft, and he won't pee on you. Also, if you want to scold someone, just say thank you for your beard, if you avoid being scolded and scolded to death, he will laugh hehehe, and if you don't accept your move, you will have to scold him in front of his daughter-in-law. ”

"Okay, I'll obey you, I can't do this, I really can't scold." Wang Shulin said with a sneer.

"Your two tricks, dealing with quality people, dealing with these masters, are soft. Shulin, if you become a secretary in the future, you must first learn to scold people, you won't scold people, this bowl of rice in the countryside, you won't be eating it for a long time. Zhu Shibang said earnestly.

When Wang Shulin first arrived in Huyang Township, he did not understand Zhu Shibang's working methods, and even resisted, feeling that as soon as he got out of the team, he would drink and break the ghosts, and scolded the chickens and dogs on the wall, not like a high-quality township leader. After a long time, I found out that this trick is very spiritual, and those village cadres seem to eat him, and the more they scold, the smoother they are, and the more they scold, the faster they run. He thought about this problem, and realized some truth, and secretly, he also tried to scold a few times. is not the best thing, in the same way, Zhu Shibang scolded him, not only cordial, but also can't tolerate you to talk back, let alone allow you to be slow or resistant in action. He scolded, but it was a different look, not only was people not afraid at all, but in front of him, he could laugh forward and backward, and after laughing, he also teased him with a strange voice: "Township Chief Wang, are you scolding people or tickling people?" Not at all, not at all. Compared with the Zhu cannon, it is far worse. ”

Let's just say that Xie Dabeard, who scolded a tree today, Zhu Shibang drank when he entered the door: "Old Xie, others are struggling, that is strong, and the teeth are light, you follow you, I don't know how old you live?" As soon as Xie Dabeard answered, Zhu Shibang immediately picked up the stubble, "I said that you are still reasonable, you are an old and unscrupulous person, you just married your daughter-in-law into the door, and you want to stop doing business?" If you don't do it, I'll give you approval today, but in the future, if you dare to gamble, I will let people arrest you once, and if you are caught, you will be fined 5,000. ”

"Where have I gambled, have I ever gambled?" As soon as he heard Zhu Shibang's revelation, Xie Dabeard immediately became anxious, for fear that Zhu Shibang would tell all his embarrassing things in front of his daughter-in-law.

"Haven't gambled? Last time, who pulled the field at the third widow's house? You think I don't know, but I'm afraid that you can't afford to lose this person, so I didn't let the police station arrest him. Also, the last time I got drunk and had a fight with Yang Qi, the township still kept an account for you. You old young man dare to pick a son, my old accounts and new accounts will be calculated with you, see if you are ruthless or I am ruthless. ”

At the mention of Yang Qi, Xie Dabeard became even more anxious, Murakami had already gossiped that he had a leg with Yang Qi's wife, and every time he drank, he wanted to get Yang Qi drunk, and then take advantage of other people's wives. How can Xie Dabeard eat this, in front of his daughter-in-law, isn't this embarrassing him to death? immediately said: "If you chew a few words, can't I do it, I'm not picking a child for you?" ”

"For me, for me, for Secretary Wang? You old ghost, I don't know what you're thinking? said, do you think that the salary is too small, and you want Secretary Wang to add money to you? I can talk about the ugly things in front of me, what happened when I did it, what happened to the dry woods, you dare to take the lead in coaxing, be careful that I expose your old roots. ”

Xie Dabeard's face turned pale for a while, in fact, he really wanted to give Wang Shulin a dismount, and he also wanted the township to add a few more subsidies, at least one or two meals a month. How do you know that this conspiracy still made Zhu Shibang see through it, and immediately blushed and said: "Who dares to disobey what you say?" The wind in this poplar township has made you a first-hand product, you say you will blow it, you will stop it if you say stop, which of us who run the hall will have to fight with you? ”

"Fill me with less rice soup, go, catch a chicken, I haven't seen meat for a few days, I'm hungry."

When Xie Dabeard heard that he was going to eat chicken, he was so happy that he ran to the chicken nest to catch chickens. Wang Shulin stole a glance at Zhu Shibang and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to eat?" ”

"Eat, why don't you eat? If you don't eat cheap him, I will come all the way, and I have to ask him for half a day's wages. ”

So he ate chicken, Xie Dabeard shouted to drink, Zhu Shibang said: "Keep the wine first, and when this round of water is finished, I will drink you to death." ”

In this way, he scolded the people, ate them, and made the people obey and lead the masses to work. This kind of working method is only available to him Zhu Shibang!

Wang Shulin originally wanted to say something to Zhu Shibang about this adjustment, after all, it was really uncomfortable to let him replace a person he respected. When I saw Zhu Shibang's strength, I knew that it was in vain, and if I didn't do it well, I would be scolded again. Forget it, anyway, the county doesn't dare to treat him badly, and this poplar township can't let him squat anymore, and if he squats again, I'm afraid that his former ** will be squatted. Thinking so, he said tentatively: "What do you think, you talk to County Magistrate Lin first, this person in Lin County, I think he looks like an officer." ”

"Do your job and talk less about leadership!" Zhu Shibang dropped this sentence and walked towards the front in a hurry, and a group of people in front stood on the edge of the canal, not picking sand, pointing and pointing and talking something. When I rushed over, I realized that it was the villagers who were talking about the arrest of the police, saying that Chen Xiwa had taken everything, saying that he had beaten the person alone, and that he wanted to kill or chop him, and rushed at him. Everyone says that Chen Xiwa has a kind.

Zhu Shibang wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it again, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.

Wang Shulin caught up with him, and said weakly: "I have to find a relationship to talk about this matter, I can't let Xiwa carry the black pot alone." ”

Zhu Shibang still didn't say anything.

Lin Yawen originally planned to stay for a few more days, although the matter of the village party secretary was resolved, it was difficult to say whether she could pour water into the ground on time. She wanted to go around a few more villages, take a look at them one by one, and feel more down-to-earth. After the sandstorm, the county's agricultural situation suddenly tightened, if the spring water can not be filled enough, the crops will be difficult to survive, the word "harvest", there is no way to talk about it, as the head of a county, the agricultural harvest is the biggest thing for her. On this day, she had just stepped into Yishu Village, and before she could talk to Xie Dabeard, the phone rang, and Qiang Guangjing said: "Lin County, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee has come to discuss the matter of publicizing sand control. ”

"It's okay to let Qin Feng accompany you, the materials are all ready-made, and you can publicize it as much as you want." Lin Yawen said.

"Minister Song said that there are new ideas in the market and I want to exchange views with you."

"Lao Song is here in person?" Lin Yawen asked in surprise. As soon as Qiang Guangjing said "um" on the other end, Lin Yawen blamed: "How do you work, Lao Song is here, why didn't you make it clear earlier?" ”

Closing the phone, Lin Yawen hurriedly made arrangements for spring irrigation, and repeatedly told Wang Shulin that now is a special period, and the cadres in the township must show a sense of urgency to help the farmers implement the spring irrigation matter well, and not a single seedling must be drought. Wang Shulin said: "Lin County, don't worry, I will do my best." ”

"It's not about trying your best, it's about getting the job done 100 percent. When you encounter difficulties, discuss with the World Gang, he has many methods, you have to ask him for more ideas. ”

Wang Shulin nodded and said that he would definitely do a good job, so Lin Yawen turned around and got into the car and hurried to the county seat.

Lao Song's name is Song Hanwen, a big pen in the city, and he is currently the first deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and also the editor-in-chief of "Hexi Daily". This person is conscientious and responsible, has a good professionalism, and he has made great contributions to the external publicity of Hexi City over the years. Lin Yawen met him in the party school study class, and after arriving in Shahu County, she had more contact with Lao Song, and the overall impression was that this person was worthy of deep friendship and respect. Sima Gufeng also repeatedly told her to communicate more with Lao Song and find him more ideas.

"This person is upright, has good qualities, and is well versed in the rules of officialdom, and there are many advantages in him that are worth learning from." Sima Gufeng said earnestly.

Back in the county, Lin Yawen didn't care about going back to **, and went directly to the hotel. Song Hanwen and his entourage have been arranged in the Tengger Hotel, which is a star-rated hotel built by a private entrepreneur, with first-class facilities and luxurious decoration, and the conditions here are the best in Shahu County.

When they met, Song Hanwen said with a smile: "You are always in the dust, and you are addicted to the countryside." ”

Lin Yawen said: "Who loves to go to the countryside? Things are going on one by one, and they can be solved if they don't go down? The two exchanged a few polite words, and Song Hanwen introduced Lin Yawen to the two who came with him, one is Hu Lanxiao, director of the news department of "Hexi Daily", and the other is the silver section chief of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. After greeting, Lin Yawen said politely: "The three of you deigned to go to Shahu, wait slowly, where you can't go, please understand." ”

As soon as she heard that she had also learned this kind of polite words, Song Hanwen smiled and said: "Shibei three days, when you look at each other, County Magistrate Lin has always been out of the sludge and not stained, how can he become numb like ordinary people?" ”

"No way, no way, people are not enthusiastic if they are numb, not numb, I'm afraid that no one will come if I have one-third of an acre of land."

After a few jokes, Song Hanwen returned to the truth and talked about the purpose of coming this time.

After the bloody fight in Nanhu, the Hexi Municipal Party Committee attached great importance to this, and the Municipal Party Committee held a special meeting to study the deep-seated contradictions between the flow management office and the farmers of Huyang Township, and reported to the provincial party committee with a special report on a series of problems caused by the reform of the flow management office. At present, except for Chen Xiwa's investigation in accordance with normal judicial procedures, the handling of the Nanhu incident has been temporarily suspended, waiting for further instructions from the provincial party committee.

In doing so, the municipal party committee has also revealed its dissatisfaction with the flow management department, especially the continuous deforestation of the flow management department, which has created unstable factors and made the city party committee very passive. Song Hanwen made it clear that the municipal party committee is on the side of the county at the moment, but after all, the flow management office is a provincial-level unit, and the municipal party committee does not dare to take too hard an attitude due to other factors. "You just understand, the municipal party committee also has the difficulties of the municipal party committee." Song Hanwen said.

Of course, Lin Yawen understands that the factors that Song Hanwen said, apart from the person standing behind Hong Guangda, what else can they be?

In fact, Lin Yawen understands that the fear of Director Feng in the city and county is not only because of the rumor that he is going to be the vice governor, but also because there is a stronger force behind Feng. Otherwise, Feng would not be so fearless!

Lin Yawen also realized after she arrived in the county that some forces seem to be non-existent, but they oppress you all the time, coerce you, and make you have to think twice about your actions. If you take a rash step, you risk stepping on a minefield.

And in officialdom, there are so many minefields like this, and sometimes you can barely move an inch.

Lin Yawen sighed deeply and expressed her understanding of Song Hanwen's words. Song Hanwen saw her heavy face and persuaded: "Don't think things are so bad, any contradictions, if you want to solve them, there must be a process, how can everything be achieved overnight, I think you should understand this better than me, so let's discuss how to do a good job in the current propaganda work." ”

Propaganda work is a new requirement put forward by the municipal party committee for the river basin, the "121" incident and the bloody fight in Nanhu Lake have caused the image of Shahu County and Hexi City to plummet, the media reported from various angles, the accusations are far greater than sympathy, the criticism is overwhelming, and in the face of huge public opinion pressure, the municipal party committee has decided to start with positive propaganda, on the one hand, to build momentum as a whole, and on the other hand, the municipal party committee has demanded that the typical deeds of Chen Jiasheng, the hero of Shahu County's sand control, be further excavated, and this typical model must be set up, let the typical person speak, and let the positive propaganda occupy the position.

"The municipal party committee made such a decision, but also fully considered your opinions, you wrote to Secretary Sun Tao, Secretary Sun Tao attached great importance to it, the Standing Committee members circulated it, approved and transferred to the Propaganda Department. The ministry believes that your opinion is very good and practical, but we lack strength and height in Chen Jiasheng's propaganda. This time, I want to work with the county to reorganize Comrade Chen Jiasheng's typical deeds, and strive to be comprehensive, objective, truthful, and representative. Song Hanwen said.

Lin Yawen said "thank you". Writing a letter to Secretary Sun Tao of the Municipal Party Committee, it was before the Nanhu blood fight, after Qiang Guangjing sorted out Chen Jiasheng's materials, she wanted to bring the materials to Secretary Sun Tao, but then she thought about it, is this too abrupt? It happened that Sima Gufeng called and talked to her about her next step, she said the doubts and hesitations in her heart, Sima Gufeng gave her an idea, why not write a letter to Lao Sun, writing a letter can talk more deeply than reporting in person, and it is better to fully express your meaning. Only then did she write a full 10,000 words. After the letter was delivered to Secretary Sun Tao, there was no news, and she thought that Secretary Sun Tao didn't care about it.

Regarding Chen Jiasheng, the hero of sand control, the county has publicized it before, and the city has also publicized it, and the city and county have given him awards, and they have named him a hero of sand control. But that's not enough. Lin Yawen always felt that the previous propaganda was too formal, too simplistic, and superficial, and did not touch the core issues. Chen Jiasheng and other eight old men, how can they stick to the sand nest all their lives, guard the desert all their lives, and guard that large forest? It is not true to say that they have feelings for the desert and for planting trees, as the reporters simply described, but the fundamental thing is that they can personally experience the cruelty of the desert and the cruelty of the sand entering and retreating. It's not easy to survive in the desert. They have a feeling for trees and greens that no one else can understand......

A few people briefly discussed for a while, and then it was dinner time, Lin Yawen was thinking about how to arrange dinner, Qin Feng came from the countryside with a few people, saying that he wanted to pick up Minister Song and his party. Lin Yawen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity today, I'm still worried that no one will pay the bill." But you have to get a few bottles of good wine to help Minister Song get through his addiction. ”

As soon as Qin Feng heard the county magistrate's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately proposed to go to the Desert Khan Palace to eat mutton chops, saying that it was enjoyable to eat mutton chops and drink alcohol. The group was about to go out, and Wang Shengfa, the owner of the hotel in Shahu County, the largest private entrepreneur, walked in, and when he saw that Lin Yawen was also there, a big smile appeared on his face, saying that how could he let the county magistrate have a treat, and he had to let him do anything today.

Lin Yawen once again made a favor and handed over the right to pay for this banquet to Wang Shengfa.

In the middle of drinking, a little unpleasantness happened. Lin Yawen didn't know that Qin Feng was a person who was not strong enough to drink, she had only heard that he could drink, he loved to drink, and he always drank with a group of people who were engaged in writing, who knows......

At the beginning, Qin Feng also rushed to substitute wine for her, saying that he couldn't get the county magistrate drunk, and if he wanted to get drunk, he would get drunk first, so Lin Yawen let him do it. After drinking less than two bottles, no one else felt it, and Qin Feng was dizzy first. When I realized that he didn't speak quite right, it was a little late. Qin Feng took Song Hanwen's hand, left Teacher Song and right Teacher Song, and had to tell Song Hanwen about the relationship between master and apprentice. Lin Yawen didn't know that Qin Feng and Song Hanwen still had this relationship, and after listening to it for a while, she realized that the master-apprentice relationship that Qin Feng talked about, that is, when he was learning to write press releases in his early years, he worshipped Song Hanwen, who was the editorial director of "Hexi Daily" at that time, and held the power of reviewing manuscripts. Lin Yawen saw that Qin Feng's face was red and his ears were red, and he spoke one sentence higher and one sentence lower, knowing that he had drunk too much, and was about to signal the two officials of the Propaganda Department to help him out, Qin Feng suddenly hugged Song Hanwen's neck, shouted Teacher Hu, and complained of bitterness with tears in his eyes.

This move shocked Lin Yawen and looked at Qin Feng dumbfounded. How could he lose his temper to such an extent? Qin Feng didn't realize it, he completely entered a delusional state, or reached his so-called realm, and said while wiping his tears, how hard he had worked all these years, how difficult it was, waiting for the county magistrate to wait for the secretary, but in the end, he still couldn't take off the sub-word on his head. "Loss, Teacher Song, you are now a big celebrity, a guest, a student, a fart!" As he spoke, he grabbed his glass and poured another one.

The two officials of the Propaganda Department stared wide-eyed, neither daring to stop Qin Feng nor looking at Lin Yawen, sitting on the side and committing a crime. Although Song Hanwen had a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's gaffe. Lin Yawen shouted Minister Qin a few times, but Qin Feng didn't hear it, and was still shouting one teacher after another, saying why couldn't he straighten out, isn't it that County Magistrate Lin has prejudices against him? Today, I must tell Mr. Song to County Magistrate Lin in person, is he Qin Feng worthy of being a minister?

"Get him out of here!" Lin Yawen put down the teacup abruptly and drank it at the two officials who were guilty of the offense on the side. As soon as the two officials heard that the county magistrate was angry, they walked out with Qin Feng in one arm. Qin Feng actually didn't leave, and shook off the two officials suddenly: "I still want to drink, I must drink a good drink today, drink a good drink." After saying that, he fell on the dinner table.

The pleasant atmosphere was swept away. Lin Yawen looked at Song Hanwen apologetically, Song Hanwen didn't expect such a scene, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, literati are like this, drink some wine, and your temperament will come out." ”

"But he's the deputy head of the Propaganda Department!" Lin Yawen hates that iron does not become steel.

"Forget it, don't get angry about this little thing, let him rest for a while, and we'll be lively." Song Hanwen was busy playing a round for Lin Yawen. Lin Yawen still has the mood to drink again, originally she wanted to use wine to liven up the atmosphere and relax herself, these days are really stressful, her endocrine is about to be out of balance, who knows......

After the two officials took Qin Feng away, Wang Shengfa walked in, he was entertaining in several places that day, in the private room next door, the county finance bureau received guests, another private room, the director of the urban construction bureau invited guests, and there was a table, which was the leader of the provincial federation of trade unions accompanied by a deputy secretary of the county party committee. It is impossible to say which table should not be paid. He glanced at it, didn't see Qin Feng, and said with a smile: "Minister Qin, didn't you want to fight with me just now?" ”

"He's gone to the State Department!" Lin Yawen angrily threw a sentence to Wang Sheng. Wang Shengfa blinked, and Song Hanwen explained with a smile: "Xiao Qin was greedy for a few cups, so he went back first." When Wang Shengfa heard this, he knew that Qin Feng must have caused trouble. Qin Feng's alcoholic nature he knows that this person really must be drunk when he sees wine, he must get drunk when he gets drunk, and he must look foreign when he is drunk. It seems that today's foreign appearance has not been out of the place. He also felt that he was unhappy to be an accompaniment here, so he took the excuse to see Qin Feng and slipped out.

After Lin Yawen and the three comrades from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee were left, Lin Yawen sighed and said to Song Hanwen: "You have seen it, this is my current situation." ”

Song Hanwen thought for a moment and said: "Yawen, don't be so pessimistic, don't you just get drunk and say a few words too much, look at your profoundness, why do you want to go online." ”

Lin Yawen smiled bitterly: "My Minister Song, what kind of drunk talk is he, he is obviously complaining about wine, and he deliberately makes me ugly in front of you." When he was the minister, I objected, and Secretary Qi asked me to exchange opinions privately, but I didn't agree. That's it, can he be the Minister of Propaganda? ”

"Don't talk about him, don't talk about him, a typical literati vice, I know this person, I don't need you to say more, I know his situation." Song Hanwen really didn't want to mention this Qin Feng, he came today for another purpose, to be entrusted by Sima Gufeng to encourage Lin Yawen. After Sima Gufeng heard about a series of vicious incidents in Shahu County, he was very uneasy, for fear that Lin Yawen would not be able to withstand the pressure and lose confidence, so he asked him to talk to Lin Yawen no matter what. Also, Sima Gufeng revealed to him that the above may want to let Qi Maolin retreat from the second line, and Secretary Sun Tao is inclined to Lin Yawen, and he also revealed this meaning to Sima Gufeng, the problem is that the province does not seem to be too satisfied with Lin Yawen, and there is also an opinion that he wants to transfer her back to the province.
