"Tell us to make sacrifices, and we sacrifice less? For this flow pipe, how many steps have we conceded, the ground has been conceded, the trees have been conceded, the well has been conceded, and who cares if we live or die? Feng Qiao's voice weakened, and in the face of the eight old men's questioning, he finally fell silent.

As soon as he returned to the county, Qi Maolin told Lin Yawen that Feng Qiao, the newly appointed deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was going to come to Hexi City for investigation, and Shahu County was the focus.

"Did he really take office?" Lin Yawen is still immersed in fantasy and refuses to wake up, she has always been skeptical of Feng Qiao's appointment as a provincial leader.

"I said earlier, you don't believe it." Qi Maolin sighed, and said: "Deputy Secretary Feng came this time, the focus is to investigate the reform of the flow management office and solve the contradiction between the flow management office and the county, you and I have to be ready to sacrifice." ”

"Sacrifice what? The interests of the 300,000 peasants in Shahu County, or the black yarn on your and my heads? Lin Yawen laughed at herself, and felt that it was not interesting to complain like this to Qi Maolin, so she pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the specific work been arranged?" ”

Qi Maolin said: "Not yet, I want to meet with you, get a rough idea, and then arrange it down." ”

Lin Yawen thought to herself, Qi Maolin now respects her and respects her home, in the past, there was no need to say hello to this kind of thing, just arrange a meeting. It seems that Qi Maolin really has the intention of retiring.

"What can you do, just do it according to the above arrangement." Lin Yawen deflated. Qi Maolin wanted to persuade her a few words, but he was also in a bad mood, and he couldn't persuade others at all. "You are still responsible for the specific work, listening to the city, Deputy Secretary Feng still insists on the original meaning, and wants to hand over the small enterprises in the basin to the city and county levels, so that the flow management office can travel lightly."

"That's not called traveling lightly, it's called selling out and eating clean."

"Yawen, don't say this in the future, Deputy Secretary Feng is a very principled person, don't ruin yourself because of complaining."

"Principles?" Lin Yawen smiled coldly, and the face of Deputy Secretary Feng slowly surfaced in her mind.

What a hard face it was, every time this face flashed, Lin Yawen's heart was stabbed once, blood gurgled and flowed, and the past also gurgled and flowed......

Lin Yawen and Deputy Secretary Feng originally had a relationship, and it may be inappropriate to say that they have a relationship, but what can they say? For so many years, Lin Yawen has never found a word to accurately end that past. I couldn't find a word to put a proper label on the face of the person in the past. Yes, some people need to be labeled, and they can't always let the halo on their head and their official title confuse others. But Lin Yawen couldn't do it, she tried, but in the end she had no choice but to give up. Like a symbol of chaos, he hid in the backlight of her mind, and every now and then, he took two bites on her already wounded heart.

The past surfaced like smoke and fog.

At that time, Lin Yawen was still in the Forestry Department, and not long after she became the section chief, Hong Guangda came to her one day and said that she wanted to invite Deputy Director Feng of the Water Conservancy Department to dinner and invite her to accompany her. Lin Yawen didn't want to go at first, but then she couldn't help Hong Guangda's soft grinding and hard work, so she went. That was the first time she and Feng Qiao met, and she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and she was not qualified to evaluate others at that time, after all, the status of the two was too different, she could only raise her face and look at Deputy Director Feng high above her like looking at the starry sky, and her intuition told her that this was a man who was very deep in the city, and he spoke without any traces, and he ......

Lin Yawen shook her head, drove away the fragmented past events that jumped into her mind, and concentrated on studying with Qi Maolin how to meet Deputy Secretary Feng. Lin Yawen's meaning, she will do the specific work, and the report meeting will still be presided over by Qi Maolin: "After all, you are the number one, and besides, you have a comprehensive grasp of the situation in the county, and you will report it at that time." ”

"What is the number one and second in command, now is the time for you to show up, this time it is not only Deputy Secretary Feng, but also Secretary General Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee, he is a person who cherishes talents, Yawen, you have to seize this opportunity."

"Lao Qi, you think crookedly, I, Lin Yawen, haven't gotten my head and drill up yet." In a word, Qi Maolin was silent. Lin Yawen didn't mean to hurt Qi Maolin, but her mood was too bad, and her words sounded like thorns. Realizing this, Lin Yawen hurriedly said: "Lao Qi, don't think about it, my heart is chaotic." If you want to take over so many burdens, I really don't know how this county magistrate can be. ”

Qi Maolin smiled awkwardly, he had reported these worries to Secretary Sun Tao of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary Sun Tao's meaning, don't consider these for the time being, if the province insists on unloading the burden to the city and county, it will be carried by the city, it really can't be done, he went to the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Hailin.

Can it really be carried by the market? Qi Maolin didn't know the bottom in his heart, and he didn't dare to hope too much, he reminded Lin Yawen: "I'm worried that they will come hard and let the county make concessions unconditionally." ”

"Concessions? As long as they are not afraid of the rebellion of the people of Shahu County, I, the county magistrate, don't care! Lin Yawen now has no bottom in her heart, so she has to gamble.

The two of them had a brief discussion, and then they started to prepare, no matter what opinions they had in their hearts, the preparations had to be done in detail. In particular, the ideological work of the masses must be done well and thoroughly, and there must be no mass siege incidents during the investigation and investigation, which is also what Secretary Sun Tao is worried about.

Lin Yawen urgently summoned the comrades of the public security department and asked them to go down separately to investigate and find out the bottom of the situation, grasp the ideological dynamics of the masses, and take precautions in advance against those who might cause incidents if their thinking is excessive. According to past experience, whenever the provincial or central authorities lead inspections, the public security departments must go deep into the villages and peasant households in advance, and conduct investigations from village to village, and invite those old petitioners and nail households to a fixed place in advance to be supervised by special personnel. This time, Lin Yawen asked to do the work more meticulously and safely. After arranging the affairs of the countryside, Lin Yawen went to several enterprises again, and now the enterprises are generally in recession, and there are more laid-off workers than those on the job, especially the urban subsistence allowance objects, which have become more and more a burden on the county. Lin Yawen sympathized with them in her heart and wanted to try her best to solve their difficulties. However, the county's financial resources are really limited, and some problems have been put on hold for many years and have not been implemented so far, making Lin Yawen very passive. Last year, she begged for people everywhere, raised funds from various sources, and invited two enterprises from the south to start the county's laid-off reemployment project, which solved the employment problem of more than 300 laid-off workers at one time. This year, I wanted to recruit a few more businessmen to form an industry for the processing of local products and fur in Shahu County, but who knew that this series of things would take up all her energy, and she couldn't do a single serious thing.

As an official in the county, you will be trapped by the trivial things of the first shape, most of your energy is boiled on the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar of the people, and it is almost impossible to make time for big projects and big spending! Lin Yawen doesn't think these jobs are trivial, and it's not that she doesn't worry about the people's oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but she is very dissatisfied with the current work status and work achievements. Anyway, I'm going to have to do something impactful!

After turning around several companies, I emphasized them one by one, asking them to stabilize the minds of the employees, and if they have difficulties, they will look for her after the leader leaves. She can't solve it, find the municipal party committee, don't add to this mess. Those factory directors and managers all understood and expressed their stance that they would be optimistic about their own doors and manage their own people. Lin Yawen finally came to the smoked vinegar factory, Li Min happened to be in the factory, saw Lin Yawen, hurriedly walked out of the workshop, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Lin is here, why don't you say hello in advance, look at my hand, it's so dirty that I can't shake it with you." Lin Yawen smiled, Li Min put on her overalls, and she couldn't tell that she was the factory director at all, let alone that she had been a leader, and she was completely a female worker.

"How's it going, the factory is still normal, right?"

"Normal, recently we opened up the Xi'an market, and the smoked vinegar is selling very well there, so I can't produce it." Li Min said while wiping his hands.

"Good news, but pay attention, you must not wash the mud when the radish is fast, and the quality must be stable."

"You can rest assured about the quality problem, there are three passes in the factory, and they are very tight."

"What about the expansion plan, when will it be handed over to me?" The two of them went to the office building while talking, the office building of the smoked vinegar factory is very old, it was built in the seventies, although the factory has made money over the years, Li Min has been reluctant to build a building with it, she wants to expand two new production lines, so that the production capacity of the factory quadrupled. She had reported this to Lin Yawen, and Lin Yawen was very supportive, asking her to report the expansion plan as soon as possible.

After entering the office, Li Min changed into his overalls, washed his face, took out the expansion plan from the drawer, and handed it to Lin Yawen. Lin Yawen read it hastily and said, "The matter of the plan will be discussed in a few days, and I am looking for you today to arrange a job." ”

Lin Yawen and Qi Maolin agreed that Li Min would report to provincial and municipal leaders on behalf of the business community. Although the smoked vinegar factory is a small scale, it has developed rapidly in the past two years and is representative. Li Min didn't refuse, but he was worried that he would not report well. Lin Yawen looked at her shy appearance and quipped: "Why are you always a little daughter-in-law, no, if you want to make the company bigger, you have to show the momentum of a mother-in-law." After laughing for a while, Lin Yawen got up to say goodbye, Li Min had to leave her for dinner, Lin Yawen said: "I won't eat the meal, and when the expansion is settled, I will invite you." ”

As soon as she left the factory door, Lin Yawen asked two workers to block it.

These two workers, one named Xie Fashun and the other named Liu Laocheng, turned out to be brewers in the smoked vinegar factory. Later, Li Min took over the smoked vinegar factory, according to the county's reform plan, a part of the workers were diverted, and those who took the initiative to terminate the labor relationship with the factory were compensated by the factory for a one-time compensation ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and they started their own business and sought their own development. Xie Fashun and Liu Laocheng were the first to propose compensation, and the two of them were very radical at that time, for fear that Li Min would say empty words and not get the compensation of 30,000 yuan. Especially Xie Fashun, who was blocked in Li Min's office for three days. At that time, Li Min had no money in his hand, and after the plan was approved, he was running a loan with the bank. Xie Fashun relied on the fact that he was an old worker and had something to do with the original factory director, so he appointed himself as the employee representative, took the lead in safeguarding the interests of the workers, and privately instigated individual workers to loot the equipment in the factory to put pressure on Li Min. In desperation, Li Min borrowed money from a friend and paid him and Liu Laocheng's compensation first. After getting the money, the two never came to the factory again, and several people jointly set up a small food factory, but the product was not launched yet, and they broke up again. At present, the vinegar factory has turned a profit, and the development momentum is getting better day by day, and the wages of workers have more than tripled compared to the original. Xie Fashun was restless again and wanted to come back to work. looked for Li Min several times, but Li Min ignored it, and then discussed, to block Lin Yawen and sue Li Min.

"Why don't you let us go to work, we are old employees of the smoked vinegar factory, and the smoked vinegar factory has our share at all times." Xie Fashun blocked in front of Lin Yawen and pointed fingers.

"If you have a problem, you can talk about it in the office, and it will not affect you well when you are blocked at the factory gate." Lin Yawen said.

"The factory is occupied, where is there a place for us to speak?" Liu Lao became enlightened.

"Occupy, who took it?" Lin Yawen glared at Liu Laocheng, she received Liu Laocheng once half a year ago, because of his daughter's work-related injury, and the relevant departments did not handle it too properly at that time, Liu Laocheng asked her to report the situation. Lin Yawen's impression is that this person is still reasonable and can listen to the persuasion of others. But today, Liu Laocheng's attitude made Lin Yawen a little surprised.

"It's not a hegemony, such a big factory, why did it become her Li Min's? This factory is bought by the blood and sweat of our workers, where was she when we started our business before? ”

"The factory was sold after legal restructuring, and you all nodded at the workers' meeting at that time." Lin Yawen was patient and worked with two people.

"What is the legal restructuring, isn't it that your officials protect each other and set a trap to calculate our workers?" Xie Fashun's voice was very high, and he waved into the distance as he spoke. Lin Yawen saw that not far from the factory gate, a group of people were gathered, and they were probing their heads to look this way. I thought that Xie Fashun must have started it. Inexplicably, Lin Yawen became angry. If something is not reported through normal channels, and the crowd is gathered to petition at every turn, why can't this unhealthy trend be stopped?

Lin Yawen was about to say something to Xie Fashun, but Li Min took over and said, "It's not legal, it's not legal, you can sue the court." ”

"I think I don't dare, surnamed Li, you are too rampant, bullying us workers honestly, right? Not only do we have to file a lawsuit with the court, but we also have to petition the city, province, and city. ”

"It's useless, Lao Xie, you can't threaten anyone, others can go to work, you two, sue to the end of the day, and you don't want to make your little abacus!"

"You-" Xie Fashun's eyes protruded, he thought that if he was so blocked at the factory gate, Li Min would be afraid, so he would obediently let him go to work with Liu Laocheng, who knows-

"Get out of the way and let County Magistrate Lin go!" Li Min suddenly darkened his face, and said in a very majestic voice.

"Get out of the way? It's not that easy, if you don't solve the problem, don't think about leaving today. Xie Fashun is also more energetic, but his confidence is obviously not as strong as Li Min's.

"I repeat, get out of the way!" Li Min accentuated his tone, took a few steps forward, and forced his eyes to look at Xie Fashun. At this time, Li Min is like two people compared to Li Min in the office who behaves and talks and loves to blush.

"I won't let you, what can you do?" Xie Fashun muttered, his steps subconsciously shrank back, his eyes staring at Lin Yawen's face uneasily, wanting to ask for help from Lin Yawen. Lin Yawen was unmoved, she really wanted to see today, how did Li Min deal with this matter?

Li Min didn't argue with Xie Fashun, took out his mobile phone, and called "110" directly. As soon as he heard Li Min's report, Xie Fashun panicked, Liu Laocheng panicked, and stretched out his hand to drag Xie Fashun: "Let's go, Lao Xie, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses." ”

"Want to go? It's too late, you won't get down the steps, but you want to force me to do business. Security, please these two in, and after a while '110' arrives and hand them over. After speaking, Li Min motioned to Sun Yu and could go. Sun Su just set off, Lin Yawen didn't say anything, she knew that she couldn't be soft when dealing with people like Xie Fashun. They were originally resettled according to the policy, but seeing that the efficiency of the smoked vinegar factory was good, they all suffered from pink eye, and if they were allowed to make trouble, the stability of the county could not be guaranteed, and the stability and development of the enterprise could not be guaranteed.

It seems that some protective measures must be introduced for the restructuring enterprises, and this problem was really negligent in the past.

The next morning, Lin Yawen called the people from the restructuring office and arranged a task for them to conduct a thorough investigation of the restructuring enterprise, look back again, and see what problems have not been implemented after the restructuring, and what emotions are still in the minds of the employees? "The focus should be on the lives of the workers, if there is indeed a life after the restructuring, we must count it out, come up with corresponding guarantee measures, not because of the reform, let them not even live a life. Of course......" Lin Yawen paused for a while, and said in a firm tone: "For those who always want to take advantage of the loopholes in reform and are unwilling to do their jobs well, we can't blindly give in." ”

In the afternoon, Qiang Guangjing rushed back from the desert to ask Lin Yawen's opinion, Chen Jiasheng and the eight old men's propaganda materials were ready, according to the usual practice, the county should hold a meeting in a small area, and discuss the materials first. After listening to Qiangguangjing's report, Lin Yawen said: "There is no need to have a meeting, isn't it you and Minister Feng, just take care of it." Qiang Guangjing hesitated: "Let's have a while at the meeting, let everyone put forward opinions, so as not to get ...... time"

"I'll be in the meeting for everything, do you want to do work?" Lin Yawen has always had opinions on the meeting, and everything in the county must be studied at the meeting, and half of her energy will be soaked in the meeting. She once suggested to the Standing Committee that if the leader in charge can be the master, the leader in charge should make the decision, and not mention all major and minor matters to the meeting. Qi Maolin did not object at the time, and when he exchanged opinions with her after the meeting, he said that the county is like this, and it is best to decide everything at the meeting. Lin Yawen insisted on her opinion: "Everything has to be decided at the meeting, and I have to be in charge of what the leaders do, I can change some habits, and now they are talking about efficiency, everyone is tied up at the meeting, where does efficiency start?" ”

"Efficiency is to be talked about, collective leadership can not be lost, some things you don't look at as a small thing, once you stab Lou Zi, it is a big thing." Qi Maolin has Qi Maolin's principles, and his consistent insistence over the years is that everything is put at the meeting, everyone shares their achievements, and collectively bears the responsibility if something goes wrong. Under his influence, the cadres in the county did not make decisions easily, just waiting for the meeting to decide.

Qiang Guangjing also wanted to explain, but Lin Yawen interrupted him and said: "This matter will be done according to my opinion, you prepare the materials, and go to the media separately according to the original plan, if you need me to come forward with Secretary Qi, we will work with the media, and the propaganda department can be the master, so it is good to be the master directly." After instructing this matter, Lin Yawen asked again: "How has Qin Feng been doing recently?" ”

As soon as he heard Qin Feng ask, the strong light became overwhelmed, and he hesitated for a long time, and said, "County Magistrate Lin, you can meet with Secretary Qi to see if you can adjust Qin Feng?" ”

Lin Yawen sighed, the words of Qiang Guangjing were tantamount to telling her that Qin Feng was making small moves again.

When will this person be able to get rid of those bad problems?

2

Feng Qiao, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, accompanied by Sun Tao, secretary of the municipal party committee, Lin Haishi, mayor of the city, and other cadres, came to Shahu County. Together with Feng Qiao, Zhao Xianyong, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, and leaders of the Provincial Agricultural Office, the System Reform Commission, the Poverty Alleviation Office, the Water Conservancy Department, and the Forestry Department. The day is Tuesday, June 19th. Qi Maolin and Lin Yawen were waiting at the hotel early in the morning, and when the convoy arrived, Lin Yawen suddenly received a call from Zheng Fengshi, who told her that he had returned from Xinjiang and was waiting for the leaders to come from the flow management office. Before Lin Yawen could say anything to Zheng Fengshi, Secretary Sun Tao had already walked over with a smile and introduced Feng Qiao to them.

The moment their eyes met, Lin Yawen felt her body tremble, Feng Qiao didn't care, and said condescendingly: "You have worked hard." Then he looked away and cast his gaze on the face of Secretary General Zhao Xianyong. Lin Yawen found that after not seeing her for many years, Feng Qiao's gaze was still so cold and arrogant, rejecting people for thousands of miles, but there was more layer of wind and frost in this gaze. Linked to the wrinkles on his face, one can imagine that over the years, this ambitious man has not been smooth sailing.

Seeing that Feng Qiao no longer paid attention to herself, Lin Yawen withdrew her thoughts, talked to Zhao Xianyong, and went to the conference hall. In this time, Sun Tao, secretary of the municipal party committee, had already told Qi Maolin the main purpose of Feng Qiao's trip. Qi Maolin's face turned from warm to cold, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, why did Secretary Sun Tao change his tone?

Provincial, municipal and county leaders held a brief meeting in the Shahu County Hotel, the meeting was presided over by Sun Tao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Sun Tao first gave a warm welcome speech, he on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, the city of Feng Qiao Secretary and his entourage to express a warm welcome, and at the same time to the city and county cadres put forward requirements, must take this inspection as the driving force, the work of Hexi City and Shahu County to a new **. Zhao Xianyong, on behalf of Feng Qiao and his entourage, made several demands, saying that the provincial party committee sent a research team to Shahu County, Hexi City, this time to solve the historical dispute between the flow management office and the Shahu farmers on the spot, in line with the principle of respecting history and respecting reality, everything revolves around the big goal of development, the county makes concessions, the county makes concessions, the flow management office makes sacrifices, and the flow management office makes sacrifices. One principle is that the reform of the flow management department should be intensified and pushed forward in depth. In accordance with the requirements of Comrade Hailin of the provincial party committee, we must do our work in a down-to-earth and meticulous manner. As for the specific difficulties in the county, they can be raised and studied and resolved by the research group, and if the research team cannot solve them, they should bring the problems back and be solved by the provincial party committee.

After the meeting, the provincial, municipal and county-level leaders drove to Huyang Township, Qi Maolin was at the front, and Lin Yawen's car was at the end. Not long after she hit the road, Lin Yawen was not sure, so she called Wang Shulin and asked how the mood of the people in Shawan Village was, there would be no problems, right? Wang Shulin promised: "Lin County, you can rest assured, if something goes wrong this time, I, Wang Shulin, will be punished." Lin Yawen didn't have the heart to laugh with Wang Shulin, Zhao Xianyong's words just now weighed heavily on her heart, feeling that Feng Qiao was coming this time, and something unexpected was going to happen.

What could it be? Lin Yawen shook her head, returned her mind to reality again, and walked for a few minutes, she called the Wang team of the Public Security Bureau and asked him how well the duty work was implemented, and whether the key objects were optimistic? The words of the Wang team are the same as those of Wang Shulin, saying that they have been implemented in accordance with the requirements of the county, and there will be no mistakes. Lin Yawen completely relieved her heart and began to think, how to solve the contradiction between Shawan Village and the flow management office?

After thinking about it for less than five minutes, a face jumped out of her mind, with majesty, with the pride peculiar to a successful person, and a layer of condescending force, open in her mind, the past is like dusty smoke, once you pull the plug on it, it will curl and re-cover your world. How many years have passed, Lin Yawen is easy not to move this layer of her soul, this layer is too tightly wrapped by her, too strict, like coal, like fire, and she is heavily sealed at the bottom, for fear that as soon as it is opened, there will be rolling magma rushing out, completely overturning her peaceful life......

However, there are some things that she can't help but think about. Some memories, she had to open again. After all, this person appeared, and in a more noble capacity, in a more powerful posture. Her heart could no longer be at peace.

It was not long after eating that meal with Hong Guangda, about a month, Lin Yawen forgot about that person, and that face had already become blurred. Lin Yawen is the kind of person who is unwilling to climb high branches, let alone the kind of opportunistic element who wants to drill when she sees a gap, she is content with calm, content with reality, and never thinks about who to rely on to pull herself up. Although Hong Guangda reminded her several times, saying that I introduced you to someone, whether you can catch it or not depends on your ability. Lin Yawen really lacks this kind of ability, and she can't figure it out, what can she do if she catches him? But life is like this, sometimes the person you deliberately want to forget, the person you deliberately want to drive away from your mind, but unexpectedly, comes to you, so that you can't hide if you want to.

It was a weekend, Lin Yawen was planning to go to see her parents after work and have a meal with her parents, but the phone on the table rang, and when she picked up the phone, an unfamiliar voice came from the receiver, and the other party said that he was the office of the Water Resources Department. Lin Yawen sighed, thinking that she must have made a mistake, and was about to hang up the phone listlessly, when the other party suddenly said, "Section Chief Lin, our director wants to see you." ”

"Chief?" Lin Yawen was a little curious, and even more inexplicable, so she couldn't help it, so she said a few more words to the other party. The other party mistakenly thought that she was enthusiastic, and immediately changed her enthusiasm and greeted her. After chatting for a few minutes, Lin Yawen realized that she was a little out of shape, and she shouldn't be so close to strangers, so she said, "I'm going to get off work, what's the matter with you?" ”

The other party reported a name, followed by a place, and still said enthusiastically: "Our director wants to talk to you, of course, it is a matter of work, and I hope you can come on time." "I've been on the phone for a long time, Lin Yawen is still in a trance, he asked me to talk about work? What kind of work will a deputy director do when he finds a small section chief of another unit?

Contradiction is contradiction, Lin Yawen finally went. When he arrived at the place, he found that he was the only one, and the secretary who claimed to be surnamed Zhu did not accompany him. Lin Yawen walked into the box generously and sat down in front of him. He smiled, compared with the last time, his face was a little gentle, and there was an extra layer of joy, faintly, with a layer of temptation. But his ass still didn't leave the chair, only a little owed, even if he greeted her. Lin Yawen was a little uneasy at first, after all, sitting opposite her was a department-level leader, and I heard that he was very authoritative in the Water Conservancy Department, although he was the deputy director, he was also the commander-in-chief of several major projects, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that could be mobilized under him. With such a role, the weight is not ordinary, can Lin Yawen not be nervous? But fortunately, he used a few humorous words to make her relax. Successful men often lack humor, and those who are in high positions and positions of authority regard humor as a taboo, but they didn't think that on this day, he took humor to the extreme, not only to make Lin Yawen relaxed, but also to make him very relaxed. The powerful are sometimes really like a piece of paper, a very thick oil paint paper, covering the face, which can be very frightening, once it is torn apart and the original face of the person is restored, this person is actually very ordinary.

Lin Yawen talked and laughed with him, and ate the dinner of the two of them quite deliciously. In the middle, he asked with concern, do you want to come to the Water Resources Department? Lin Yawen smiled: "What are you doing in the Water Conservancy Department, I didn't study water?" ”

"It's nothing to do with learning, if you want to come, you can come right away." He smiled too, his face stretched.

"No, I'm happy with the current environment." Lin Yawen stored water for him and sat down.

"Don't be motivated." He took a sip of tea, spat out these four words, and then rested his gaze on her face, motionless.

Lin Yawen was nervous again, she couldn't figure out whether this was praise or criticism, and it was best that it didn't mean anything. That way, she won't be burdened. Sometimes the burden is easy to weigh on you, a word from the superior, a cough, or a dissatisfied look is a burden for you. What really unsettled Lin Yawen was his gaze. Lin Yawen still can't figure out why a person has multiple eyes at the same time, he was joking with you kindly, in an instant, his gaze was as cold as frost, you haven't woken up from the frost-like blow, his gaze has changed to another color, you don't know, is he giving you spring or autumn, or winter? Your mind is drawn by his gaze, and the smile on your face has to change with the color of his gaze, he is cold, you have to be hot, he is overheated, you have to blow a cool breeze on him without showing a trace. After he finished saying those four words that day, his eyes became the autumn sun, which made Lin Yawen's face red, Lin Yawen didn't take it seriously at first, and later, she was afraid.

She can't be afraid.

She is a woman.

Women are very able to read that kind of gaze, if this gaze comes from an ordinary man, it is fine, but he is a man with great power, power is sometimes very proportional to desire, the more familiar with the power of the man, the woman covered in the depths of the gaze, he thinks he can be more calm. Even if he doesn't make any effort, just his gaze, you throw yourself into your arms in a hint.

Lin Yawen is not a woman who throws herself into her arms. Faced with the trap in the depths of his eyes, he can only choose to escape.

Later, I heard Hong Guangda say that he was very disappointed in her. didn't seek to be motivated, he still evaluated her with these four words. Hong Guangda regretted very much: "Others wish to have such an opportunity, but you gave up easily." Seeing that she didn't understand, Hong Guangda further said: "Do you know what kind of official he asked you to be, the director of the material department of the Yellow River Diversion Project Headquarters, how fat you are, but you ......"

Lin Yawen smiled, and only then did she understand that he also wanted to spend the price on her.

The past is like a river that is drifting away, and every drop of water in the river has left a deep imprint on her heart. For her, a drop of water is a well, a river. She's just a fish, and she's either imprisoned or has to get out, otherwise, she's not what she is now.

Lin Yawen smiled bitterly, shook her head, and blasted out of her mind the surging past, including that face, including the shallow and deep pain, hatred, and something other than the miserable and faint pain......

He is now a key member of the provincial party committee. She sighed like this and reminded herself: You are still you, don't let the past drown you out.

Zheng Fengshi has been waiting at the gate for a long time, compared with two months ago, he has obviously lost weight, but he is so thin that he has a sense of excellence, compared with Hong Guangda around him, he really has a bit of a taste of fairy wind bones. But Hong Guangda is more imposing than him, and he is more stylish than him, and at a glance, Hong Guangda is the real head of that group.

After the convoy stopped, Hong Guangda was the first to catch up, and the smiles on his face were piled together, and they were piled up excessively. His behavior was even more excessive, he crossed Secretary Sun Tao, and then crossed Qi Maolin, and came straight to Feng Qiao, bowed, nodded, and greeted Feng Qiao exaggeratedly. Feng Qiao's face welled up with unhappiness, he didn't want Hong Guangda to be like this, how could he be like this? He nodded reluctantly, and did not hold Hong Guangda's outstretched hands, his gaze passed over everyone and swept directly to Zheng Fengshi's face. Zheng Fengshi came over and greeted the leaders with a little restraint. Feng Qiao also didn't shake his hand, but said lightly: "I heard that you threw down the flow pipe and went outside to find a job by yourself?" ”

Zheng Fengshi's face was embarrassed, he withdrew his outstretched hands, and stood there awkwardly, waiting for Feng Qiao to criticize. Feng Qiao had already crossed him and greeted Lao Qiao, the chairman of the trade union. Lin Yawen followed at the end, and Feng Qiao's series of actions did not escape her eyes. When it was her turn to greet Zheng Fengshi, she just said lightly: "Director Zheng must be in a good mood today, right?" After speaking, he followed the mayor Lin Haishi and went inside.

Zheng Fengshi's face had another layer of embarrassment.

The work report meeting was held soon, the meeting was presided over by Zhao Xianyong, secretary general of the provincial party committee, according to the agenda, first by Zheng Fengshi, director of the flow management department, reported on the recent work of the flow management office. Zheng Fengshi's words surprised everyone, Lin Yawen saw that Secretary General Zhao frowned, and he was almost angry, but he played a round again and said: "It's okay, let the comrades who are familiar with the work report." After speaking, he looked at Feng Qiao beside him. Feng Qiao's face was expressionless, from the moment he walked into the flow pipe, his expression had always been like this, which was incomprehensible.

Qiao Renshan, chairman of the trade union, began to report, it seems that this is the division of labor in advance of the flow management office, Qiao Renshan was very well prepared, and reported for nearly 40 minutes, in the middle of which Secretary General Zhao interrupted him twice and asked about some specific matters, including the production status of the five small enterprises and the living problems of the workers. Zeng Qingan, the newly appointed director of the Department of Water Resources, made a timely addition, and Secretary General Zhao took notes while listening. From time to time, he had to look at Feng Qiao, but unfortunately during the whole reporting process, Feng Qiao seemed to be elsewhere, and he did not show any enthusiasm for the report of the flow management department.

Next, the manager of the development company, Hong Guangda, reported that Hong Guangda couldn't hold back early on, and as soon as Secretary-General Zhao called him, he couldn't wait to open the material folder and read the material in a loud voice. Hong Guangda's report was full of passion, especially when it came to the development company to be market-oriented, reform and development, in the face of huge difficulties and resistance, not afraid of step, uncompromising, consistently adhere to the foundation of development, forge ahead, bold innovation, he was full of passion, chanted the boring words on the material like a poem. It's too hot, and the desert in June is the time to go crazy, with heat waves hitting one after another, and there is no air conditioning in the conference room of the flow management office, and dozens of people are packed in a hot can, and they can't even sweat. Hong Guangda was reporting energetically, Feng Qiao suddenly turned sideways, whispered something to Zhao Xianyong, got up, walked out of the conference room, and walked towards the gate of the flow management office.

Outside the gate, under the blue sky, Seventy-two was driving a flock of sheep in the direction of North Lake. The vicious sun was about to kill the sheep, and when they saw so many carts lined up under the courtyard wall, the sheep scrambled to burrow under the carts. Seventy-two picked up a stone and wanted to hit the sheep, but before he could throw a stone out, he smashed the glass of a small car. Immediately, a driver ran out of the shade and twisted seventy-two.

Feng Qiao glanced at the sheep, then at the drivers who twisted seventy-two, shook his head, and turned around and entered the yard. As soon as he entered the gate, a scolding sounded behind him: "The sheepherd of the dog day, dare to smash the car of the provincial party secretary, it is against you." ”

In the conference room, Hong Guangda's voice weakened, and as soon as Feng Qiao left, he vented his strength in an uproar, the participants were probably not interested in this kind of report, and when they saw Secretary Feng Qiao leave the venue, a whisper sounded. Secretary-General Zhao coughed, but still failed to control the order of the venue, and the conference room was noisy for a while.

Feng Qiao wandered around outside for a while, estimating that Hong Guangda should finish his report, shaking his spirits and wanting to go to the conference room. The phone rang again, and when I looked at the number, I wanted to press it, but it was quickly connected. A sweet female voice came from the phone: "Secretary Feng, I'm Rong Rong." ”

Feng Qiao let out an "oh", indicating that he already knew who the other party was. Hua Rongrong seemed to be in a very high mood this day, and it didn't matter if Feng Qiao was busy or not, it was inconvenient to listen to the phone, so she talked a lot in one go, Feng Qiao listened and listened, got impatient, and said to Hua Rongrong: "I'm in a meeting, what's the matter, I'll talk about it later." After speaking, he pressed the phone and walked into the venue with a gloomy face.

Hong Guangda's report has ended, and Sun Tao, secretary of the municipal party committee, continued to report.

The first day's report did not take the turn of Qi Maolin and Lin Yawen, Secretary Sun Tao talked more this day, more than an hour more than the time arranged by the meeting, in response to the report of Hong Guangda and Qiao Renshan, Secretary Sun Tao raised a question: What is harmonious development? Can the Drainage Management Office and the farmers in the desert areas abandon their past grievances and join hands to forge a new path for the rapid development of the desert areas and the Poplar River Basin?

The next day, Qi Maolin was the first to speak, the content of the speech was prepared in advance, and he lived in the flow management office at night, he met with Lin Yawen again, and carefully considered the words. Qi Maolin meant that he would first report the tone to a low point and see what Feng Qiao had to say. If the pressure on the county is not too great, you can accept it as much as possible, but you really can't accept it, and then look at the attitude of Secretary Sun Tao and the city. In short, the county should put the difficulties on the front foot, and put the survival of the peasants in the desert areas in the first place.

Qi Maolin reported five points, all of which were closely related to the people of Shaxiang, and his report changed the tone of the meeting, from boastful talk to practice, reasonable, low tone, and simple emotion, which made the atmosphere of the venue solemn.

Secretary-General Zhao has been constantly remembering, especially Qi Maolin said that what is the biggest hope of the people of Shaxiang now, that is, there is no more sand in the bowl when eating, and they have eaten sand for several lifetimes! The pen in Secretary General Zhao's hand snapped!

Feng Qiao's face was gloomy, and when Qi Maolin reported, his gaze fell on Lin Yawen's face several times, but Lin Yawen didn't look at him, moved slightly, and avoided it. Lin Yawen was thinking, Feng Qiao didn't say a word until now, what problem did he want to solve when he came down this time?

When talking about the contradiction between the flow management office and the farmers of Shawan Village, Qi Maolin did not poke the sore spot, but only said that the farmers love to admit death, and there are some reasons, which really does not make sense with them. Feng Qiao raised his gaze and looked at Qi Maolin suspiciously, and Qi Maolin quickly stopped saying this.

A morning passed like this, and during lunch at lunch, Secretary Sun Tao called Lin Yawen to his side, and asked while eating: "What about Mengmeng, have you come back?" Lin Yawen's face turned red, why did Secretary Sun Tao know about this? Seeing that Secretary Sun Tao asked seriously, he said embarrassedly: "Not yet, she has to break into the world, so let her break through." Secretary Sun Tao pondered for a while and said: "Mengmeng, this child, has a personality, but if the personality is too much, it will become a bad thing." Yawen, the child's business, negligence, when this busy period is over, I will give you leave and accompany her more. ”

"Thank you, secretary." Lin Yawen's heart swelled with warmth.

Secretary Sun Tao stopped talking and concentrated on eating. Lunch is very simple, a working meal made in the canteen of the flow management department, which is what Secretary-General Zhao particularly emphasized. Because she didn't have to accompany the leaders to eat at the same table, Lin Yawen felt that this meal was refreshing. was bowing his head to eat, Mayor Lin Haishi came over with a boxed lunch and whispered to Secretary Sun Tao: "The chief is angry, and he doesn't eat." Secretary Sun Tao's hand froze, and there was no chewing sound in his mouth, and after a while, he asked Lin Haishi: "What about the secretary general?" ”

"He went back to his room after the meeting, and he hasn't come out yet."

Secretary Sun Tao said "oh", Yuan lowered his head to eat again, Lin Haishi stood for a long time, and didn't see any instructions from Secretary Sun Tao, so he also found a stool to sit down and pulled up the meal.

Looking at the expressions of the two leaders, Lin Yawen hastily finished eating and slipped away.

3

Feng Qiao came down this time, and he was really able to calm down. The report meeting lasted for two days, and all the leaders, large and small, finished reporting, and even Hu Erkui, the village party secretary, was notified to the venue and made a speech for ten minutes. It is said that he should have given instructions a long time ago, and everyone was waiting for him to give instructions and set the tone, especially the leaders of the Water Resources Department and the Forestry Department, waiting for him to speak.

He didn't speak.

For two days, his face has been cloudy, occasionally showing a little sunshine, also because of other things, as long as he sits in the venue and faces the participants, the gloom will cover everyone's hearts. Secretary-General Zhao Xianyong is the most embarrassed, in the report, he has cast his eyes on the past several times, but every time his gaze will be touched back, in the end, he is not sure, what problems can be solved by reporting like this?

Towards the end of the briefing, Feng Qiao's tense face finally relaxed, and he moved his body to speak.

The attendees were all relieved. Lin Yawen's heart was also relaxed, if Feng Qiao didn't speak again, the string in her head would be broken. During the two-day report meeting, Lin Yawen had already heard a lot of criticism, especially Zeng Qing'an, director of the Department of Water Resources, who spoke twice, and both times pointed the finger at her and Qi Maolin, saying that they were typical small-scale peasant economy, small-scale peasant consciousness, and lacked big strategy and big thinking. Director Sun of the Commission for the Reform of the System also pointed out in his speech that the county should not only take care of its own interests, should not separate the development of the county economy from the development of the entire river basin, only the development of the entire river basin, the economy of Sand Lake can be driven, and only the ecology of the entire river basin can be preserved, and the ecology of Sand Lake can be preserved. In short, the leaders of several units in the province have made their opinions clear, and the reform of the flow management department is imperative, and this is a tough battle, which is related to whether the reform of public institutions in the province can achieve the final victory, and it is also related to the next step of the governance and development of the Huyang River Basin.

The tone was artificially raised, and the reform of a public institution suddenly became a political event that the province focused on. Lin Yawen couldn't help but think about it.

Also, it is impossible for these leaders to speak without consulting Feng Qiao in advance, at least, in the general direction, they are nodded by Feng Qiao. Although Feng Qiao has not said a word until now, his propositions and his requirements have been clearly laid out at the meeting. Lin Yawen was lucky with one in 10,000 and hoped that Feng Qiao would change his tone a little in his speech.

Feng Qiao gently pushed open the water cup, looked around the venue, and said: "The report meeting was very good, and I was deeply touched by the speeches from all sides. Huyang River is a river with a long history, is the mother river of the people of our province, the story of this river, there are really too many, I believe that everyone here has a deep feeling for this river system, and has ardent hopes for the next step of the river system and the next step of the river basin governance and development. Not long ago, Comrade Hailin, on behalf of the provincial party committee, made a special report to the central authorities, saying that the development of the Huyang River valley has a bearing on the overall situation. Comrade Hailin demanded that we conscientiously solve every problem in the river basin with the attitude of being responsible to the 20 million people in the river basin and to the river system. In particular, the units that have contributed to the basin have been the heroes of the basin in the past few years, silently dedicating themselves without giving anything in return. Now that they are in trouble, we should reach out and give them a hand. Of course, they themselves must also work tenaciously, and they cannot wait or rely on, let alone lie on the merits. The report meeting raised a lot of problems, and the flow management office and the county also put forward their own opinions and suggestions from different angles, which is very good, and several departments in the province should seriously study and discuss extensively to help them come up with a plan to solve the problem as a whole. After going down, the Commission for the Reform of the System will take the lead, with the cooperation of other departments, and set up a working group to come up with a systematic plan within the time required by the provincial party committee. Time waits for no one, work waits for no one, I hope everyone has a sense of urgency, a little dedication, and a blast to solve this old and difficult problem. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yawen knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, Qi Maolin's worry was not exaggerated at all, and the county was waiting to pick up the mess.

Sure enough, after the briefing meeting, Secretary-General Zhao presided over a special meeting, and in accordance with Feng Qiao's request at the meeting, a joint working group was set up at the provincial, municipal and county levels. Director Sun of the Physical Reform Commission served as the team leader, and Zeng Qingan of the Water Resources Department and Mayor Lin Haishi served as deputy team leaders respectively. Only Qi Maolin participated in the county, and Lin Yawen was excluded. Unexpectedly, Zheng Fengshi, director of the flow management department, was not in the working group, and on behalf of the flow management office, one was Qiao Renshan, the chairman of the trade union, and the other was Hong Guangda. Afterwards, Lin Yawen heard from Qi Maolin that the so-called working group had been decided before the provincial leaders came down, but it had not been announced. At that time, I wanted Secretary Sun Tao to be the team leader, but Secretary Sun Tao politely declined, so Director Sun was put in charge. As for Zheng Bongshi, he has long been excluded. Qi Maolin also said that Zheng Fengshi said what he said at the report meeting out of desperation, and the fact is that Qiao Renshan had already been scheduled to speak.

The day-to-day work of the flow management office has been handed over to Qiao Renshan, and there is just a need for an appointment procedure.

Is there such a thing? Lin Yawen was shocked.

What happened next shocked Lin Yawen even more. As soon as the Working Group was formed, it was immediately operational. On the day when Lin Yawen and others accompanied Feng Qiao to Qingtu Lake for a field trip, the working group made a resolution: the five small and medium-sized enterprises in Shahu County of the Flow Management Office were allocated to Shahu County at one time and taken over by the county. Compared with the previous rumors of selling to the county, this resolution can be regarded as taking care of the county, and when Lin Yawen and Qi Maolin settle the accounts, they know that the transfer is more of a headache for them than the sale. Why? At the same time as the allocation, the working group put forward a request that the workers of the five enterprises be resettled by the county, and that the county should ensure that the five enterprises will be brought back to life and that the workers will have food to eat within two years. There are nearly 3,000 employees in the five enterprises, which is equivalent to throwing the biggest burden of the flow management office to the county, plus the families of the employees, and the first person in Shahu County has carried the burden of more than 8,000 people at once. This is tantamount to making things worse for counties that are already financially tight and have great difficulty finding jobs.

"Why not?" Lin Yawen felt that it was incredible, it would be Qi Maolin who participated, and Qi Maolin should stand up against it.

"How do you object?" Qi Maolin asked rhetorically.

"You ......" Lin Yawen originally had something to say, but when she saw Qi Maolin's face, she couldn't go on. In just one meeting, Qi Maolin has aged a lot. The pressure he was under must have been great.

"What should I do, do you really want to take over?" She seemed to be talking to herself, but her eyes kept on Qi Maolin's face.

"What if you don't take over? Yawen, don't fight over this matter, I'm afraid there will be more tricky ones in the future. After Qi Maolin finished speaking, he was silent.

"Back?" Lin Yawen sat on the chair in a daze.

The next day, Lin Yawen and Secretary Sun Tao continued to accompany Feng Qiao to inspect the river basin, Feng Qiao kept silent about the transfer of the enterprise, and asked about the living conditions of farmers wherever he went. He has transferred to three townships in a row, and Lin Yawen was afraid that something would happen in the process, so she repeatedly explained to the township leaders on the phone that she must do a good job in vigilance. Fortunately, for nearly two days, the villagers did not show any excesses. Just when Lin Yawen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Maolin called and said that something had happened to the flow management office, and the employees of the five companies surrounded them!

The containment incident occurred at 10:40 a.m., when the working group was in a meeting, and Qi Maolin proposed that the factory could be taken over, but the province had to solve the workers' pensions and serious illness medical insurance, and the county really had no choice. Zeng Qing'an, director of the Department of Water Resources, said: "So many assets have been handed over to you, so don't dwell on this little problem." ”

"How can it be entangled?" Qi Maolin argued, "I know that in these factories, the employees have not been paid full wages for three years, and they only receive the minimum living allowance, and the original living allowance for their families has also been cancelled. In the area of serious illness medical care and pensions, how can five companies get more than 30 million, where does this money come from? ”

"Find a way to start production first, and as soon as the factory starts, won't there be anything?" Zeng Qingan said impatiently.

"If it can be started, it will sit there for three years?" Qi Maolin's tone was also not very friendly.

"I'll leave this issue aside for now, and we'll look into it when we get back. If the province can support it, it will definitely support it. Director Sun interrupted Qi Maolin and said.

"No, this problem can't be solved, and taking over is just empty talk." Qi Maolin stood up suddenly. Lin Yawen is right, blindly giving in, and in the end, it was the county that was trapped!

"Lao Qi, you have to take care of the overall situation." Before Director Sun's words fell, there was a commotion outside. Qiao Renshan walked out to see that the workers of the five factories were black and blocked at the gate. The leader is Chen Genfa, the director of the prefabrication plant.

Chen Genfa is also a character. He was first born as a soldier, and after changing jobs, he came to the flow management department, starting as a cement worker, step by step, and worked to become the director of the prefabrication plant. This man is vigorous and resolute in his work, and he has maintained the fine traditions of the army. In the years when there were many engineering projects in the flow management department, he led the staff of the whole plant to fight in the production line day and night, and developed the small prefabricated plant into the largest prefabricated plant with the best benefits in the whole basin. He has also won many provincial and ministerial awards, and was elected as a national model worker. However, four years ago, due to a vicious accident, his right leg was disabled, and the efficiency of the flow pipe department declined, the workers could not find work, and the prefabrication plant was paralyzed. In the past few years, on the one hand, he has to raise medical expenses for his injured leg, and on the other hand, he has to run for the lives of more than 1,000 workers in the factory, and has become the most famous petitioner in the flow management office. Qiao Renshan had a headache for this person. In the past few years, just because he was the chairman of the trade union, Chen Genfa has often looked for him, and every time, he made Chen Genfa ask questions.

"Genfa, bring people back, and solve any problems when the leaders are gone." Qiao Renshan said with a straight face.

Chen Genfa ignored Qiao Renshan, surrounded by everyone, on crutches, and continued to walk inside.

"Lao Chen, what do you want to do? What day is today, you are not allowed to come nonsense! "Qiao Renshan is in a hurry, if this large group of people pours in, the flow pipe will be chaotic.

"What a day, today is the day to solve the problem." Chen Genfa stopped and turned to stare at Qiao Renshan.

"Yes, solve the problem. If we don't solve the problem, don't think about sending us away! Liu Liu, deputy director of the prefabrication plant who walked behind Chen Genfa, said. Deputy Director Liu is known as Chen Genfa's iron legs, what Chen Genfa says, what he listens to. In the past, when the prefabrication plant was booming, these two people were the most influential people in the basin, especially among the workers, and their prestige was higher than that of Qiao Renshan and Zheng Fengshi. Later, the enterprises in the basin closed their doors one after another, and they became the leaders of the workers' petitions. Today's large group of people must have been mobilized by Deputy Director Liu.

Qiao Renshan didn't want to clash with them, now was not the time to clash with the workers, he had to find a way to calm them down. What can be done? Just when Qiao Renshan hesitated, Hong Guangda walked over, stopped in front of Chen Genfa and said, "Is it to catch the market or make a social fire?" There is a lot of power, and you want to put pressure on the leaders above, right? ”

Hong Guangda has always had conflicts with Chen and Liu, and long before Hong Guangda became the manager of the development company, he fell out with Chen and Liu because of a 500,000 yuan prefabricated parts processing task. The prefabrication plant delivered the prefabricated parts on time, but Hong Guangda delayed payment, and later claimed compensation from the prefabrication factory on the grounds that the quality of the prefabricated parts was unqualified and the project was reworked. In the end, the Water Conservancy Department came forward to mediate, and although the prefabrication factory got the money, it exonerated Hong Guangda. When Hong Guangda became the manager of the development company, the business volume of the prefabricated factory was decreasing year by year, and Hong Guangda would rather give the work to the small factories in other places than hand it over to Chen Genfa. The prefabricated factory was finally forced to close, which had a lot to do with Hong Guangda. But these are unspeakable to Chen and Liu, Hong Guangda has thousands of reasons, and any one can cut off the life of the prefabricated factory. People are engaged in bidding, and they notify you to participate every time, but they don't give you the bid, what method do you have?

"Get out of the way!" Seeing Lord Hong Guang lying in front of him, the fire in Chen Genfa's chest rose up. Originally, he took more than 1,000 workers with him today, but he just wanted to ask, why did the flow management office hand them over to the county, and how to hand them over? How to calculate the arrears of wages for several years? Where is the pension for old workers? There are also pensions, serious illness medical treatment, etc., how to solve these problems? It's not that the factory has never made money, and half of the money it earns is still owed by various units, and the development company owes the most debts. Because the development company is responsible for the construction of the whole basin project, the prefabricated parts provided by the prefabrication plant to each engineering unit must eventually be settled with the development company. This is the unique system of the Water Resources Department, and it is also a system that Chen Genfa cannot figure out. Obviously a state-invested engineering project, as soon as it changed hands, it became the development company's own project, and the development company did not give money to the engineering unit, and their prefabricated parts could not be recovered, and the triangular debt dragged on to the end, becoming a four-cornered debt and a five-cornered debt, and now it has become a debt that cannot be asked. Hong Guangda, who has become a reform figure in the flow management department, has now become a member of the reform team, and once again manipulates their fate.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Genfa said again.

"Get out of the way, where do you want me to go?" Hong Guangda didn't care about Chen Genfa, let alone the bunch of people behind him. In his view, workers are workers at all times, and they are not qualified to negotiate conditions with the leadership.

"Will you let me?" Chen Genfa's words were already very unfriendly, his eyes were on fire, and the fire in his chest burned even more.

"Get out, you'd better get someone out for me!" Hong Guangda is imposing today, and he wants to show himself in front of the leaders of the provincial department. But he didn't expect that today's workers would not eat him.

"Hit this shit!" Before Rong Hongguang could say another second sentence, Xiao Houzi, the material clerk of the prefabrication plant who had been holding Chen Genfa, roared. This roar, like a **, exploded the fire in the hearts of the workers. Before Hong Guangda could react, a raindrop-like fist had already smashed towards him, and when Zeng Qing'an and the others rushed out when they heard the sound, Hong Guangda had been thrown outside the compound by the workers.

The situation is getting bigger.

Lin Yawen hurried back to the flow management office in a hurry, and the people of the security department had separated the workers and gathered them together according to the factory. The prefabrication factory has the most workers, and the black press is squatting on the root of the wall, and the other four factories are relatively few. It's no wonder that the leaders of the other four factories are now working as project managers at Hongguangda's development company, which is not the same thing as workers. The workers of the five factories in the basin can only be counted on at the moment, only Chen Genfa.

Chen Genfa was called by Zeng Qing'an of the provincial department and was being criticized. Xiao Houzi, who took the lead in beating people, has been taken to the police station, and there are seven people who were taken away with Xiao Houzi. Lin Yawen glanced at the scene, feeling heavy. Qi Maolin walked over and said with a gloomy face: "The scene is too chaotic, and it almost killed someone." ”

"Where's Hong Guangda?"

"Sent to the hospital."

"How so?"

"When the workers heard that the factory was going to be handed over to the county, they were not happy."

"Then you can't gather people to make trouble, you can beat people at every turn, who taught them!" Lin Yawen was angry, and looked around, and when she didn't see Zheng Fengshi's shadow for a long time, the doubts in her heart were serious: "What about Director Zhengda?" ”

"What about him, when the workers besieged the leader, he stood on the side and watched the excitement, and this time he was about to deal with the workers, he craned his neck again, and he disappeared." Qi Maolin was also angry, the workers were too emotional just now, and they surrounded Zeng Qingan and Director Sun and didn't let them go, if it wasn't for the security guards, Xiao Houzi would have beaten Zeng Qing'an. I'm afraid that Zeng Qingan and Director Sun would not have thought that Xiao Houzi was Qi Maolin's nephew, and when he recruited workers, it was Qi Maolin who got him to the prefabrication factory through his relationship.

"This evil obstacle!" Qi Maolin scolded angrily, heard Qiao Renshan calling him from a distance, and left Lin Yawen behind.

The work of the joint working group was forced to stop, and the leaders were very angry about the siege, especially Zeng Qingan, who criticized Chen Genfa with a black face and dismissed him from his post as factory director on the spot. Chen Genfa didn't care at all, he said: "Is there any point in this factory director, the factory has let you toss it all, and if you toss it again, it will toss the lives of our people." ”

"You ——!" Zeng Qingan was so angry with him that he didn't know how to get angry.

Qiao Renshan ran inside and out, and he was most responsible for this big thing. On the one hand, he was afraid that Deputy Secretary Feng Qiao would be held accountable, although Feng Qiao and Zhao Xianyong were not present at the scene when the workers made trouble, but could they not know about such a big movement? On the other hand, he was afraid that Chen Genfa and Lao Liu would be unwilling, he knew the temper of these two people, and they stinked very much, if they were really forced to be in a hurry, this reform would not be able to continue. He was patient, and here he reviewed with Zeng Qingan and Director Sun, and then ran to appease Chen Genfa and Deputy Director Liu. In his heart, Qiao Renshan didn't want to take on this errand, he couldn't wait to learn from Zheng Fengshi, quiet and comfortable, anyway, the flow pipe was bankrupt, and he Qiao Renshan's life could be passable. People in their fifties, they can retreat, they can't retreat, just find something to do. Who knew that half a month ago, he was called by Zeng Qing'an, and he told him like this, saying that this was Deputy Secretary Feng's opinion, and asked him to prepare and take Zheng Fengshi's shift. Qiao Renshan has obeyed the leader and obeyed all his life, and the director of the hall personally talked to him, how could he not listen? I didn't think it was a can, and I couldn't take it off if I put it on my head.

Half an hour later, Director Sun presided over a meeting to discuss how to deal with this serious riot. "This is a premeditated riot, and you must not be polite to the parties!" Director Sun spoke. Zeng Qing'an's face tightened, his anger had not subsided, the dignified director of the Water Conservancy Department almost let a thug like Xiao Houzi beat him violently, this was the first time in his life.

"What about Zheng Fengshi, why didn't he attend the meeting?" After Director Sun finished speaking, Zeng Qingan asked with a dark face.

"I called, and he said he was not feeling well and asked for leave." Qiao Renshan hurriedly replied.

"Excuse me, who granted him leave?" He snapped the cup and put it down again. The voice was so startled that all eyes focused on him, "I think the first one to deal with is him!" ”

Qiao Renshan was restless, he called Zheng Fengshi before the meeting, and Zheng Fengshi said slowly: "What kind of meeting is there, just let them make a decision directly." As soon as Qiao Renshan said "Director, you can't do this, Zheng Fengshi hung up the phone. Qiao Renshan knew that Zheng Fengshi was already distracted from the flow management office, and dismissal or removal would be of no use to him. Moreover, Zheng Fengshi is now tired of the convection management office, tired of it, and no longer has a little passion, just now he stood in the distance, watching the workers besiege the provincial leaders like watching a play, which is an example.

Should you call him or not? Qiao Renshan hesitated. Lin Yawen stood up suddenly: "I'll call him." After speaking, no matter what the leaders thought, she walked out of the venue angrily.

Lin Yawen has Lin Yawen's thoughts, at this time, Zheng Fengshi should not retreat, let alone look indifferent. It's just a broken jar! Lin Yawen hopes that Zheng Fengshi can cheer up, and stand on the last shift in an attitude of being responsible for all the employees of the flow management department, even if his head is broken and bleeding, even if he is dismissed on the spot, it is better than being a turtle with a shrunken head!

Also, she now understands Zheng Fengshi's situation, and she also vaguely understands his hardships. In the past few days, there have been observations at the symposium, which has touched her heart a lot. There are many things in officialdom, she used to see and think simply, but in just a few days, those thoughts in her mind changed and wavered. She also began to hesitate, began to be depressed, but she had to pretend to be cheered up. The more times like this, the more lonely she feels, and the more she longs for someone to be on the same page as her. Although Qi Maolin agrees with her, he is also very friendly and respectful to her these days. But she knew that Qi Maolin was talking about strategy, because she was afraid that she would be impulsive, and she would try her best to resolve the contradictions, to put it bluntly, Qi Maolin was assimilating her in another way. But she can understand that Lao Qi has Lao Qi's difficulties, after all, he is the secretary of the county party committee and an old leader, and his principles are stronger than her. But she really didn't want to compromise, she didn't want to make unprincipled concessions. At this time, how much she was looking forward to Zheng Fengshi standing up and defending something for her and the employees of the flow management office.

Will he?

Lin Yawen came to the second floor of the small with an indescribable mood, Zheng Fengshi seemed to expect her to come to the door, and as soon as the door knocked, he opened the door. At the moment when the four eyes met, a layer of complex content swept over the faces of the two people at the same time, as if they had gone through the vicissitudes of the sea. In fact, these days, they don't have many opportunities to meet alone, and they don't even have the opportunity to look at each other. Lin Yawen felt that he was so close to her, never before. It was only in the middle of the night, when she meditated alone, that she realized that he was far away from her, as if he was far away from her, leaving her with layers of impenetrable fog.

After a moment, Zheng Fengshi said, "Come in." ”

Lin Yawen walked in wordlessly. The house is still the same room, and the furnishings are still those furnishings, but the owner is too lazy to clean up, and the house is covered with dust. Lin Yawen smelled a faint musty smell.

"Why don't you go to the meeting?" After sitting down, Lin Yawen asked.

"Is it still necessary to open it?" Zheng Fengshi sat down across from her, his voice sounding empty, unsettled.

"You're the Commissioner." Lin Yawen said.

"Not anymore." Zheng Fengshi smiled bitterly.

"Why should you be discouraged?"

"Not discouraged."

"What's it?"

"Nothing."

"The workers are waiting for you to speak."

"What's the use of me talking?" After a while, he said again, "I'm afraid that if you speak, it won't work." ”

"If it doesn't work, you have to say it."

Zheng Fengshi smiled again and said, "I'm not you, I just want to get out of here as soon as possible now." ”

"Leave?" Lin Yawen wondered, she didn't know that Zheng Fengshi had this thought, "Where to go?" ”

"It's not decided yet, let's leave first." Zheng Fengshi got up and wanted to pour water for Lin Yawen. Lin Yawen stopped him: "No need, I'm here to ask you to attend the meeting, and your hall director is angry at you." ”

"Director? You mean Zeng Qing'an, right? Zheng Fengshi smiled bitterly again, in that smile, there was clearly another meaning, seeing Lin Yawen surprised, she sighed: "Lao Zeng, this person used to be very decent, who knows ......"

"Now is not the time for you to talk about others, you have to stand up and speak for the workers."

"Say what? I have already said what should be said, but they don't listen, they want to hope for reform, who is to blame? ”

The air in the room suddenly became heavier, and the word "reform" pierced Lin Yawen's heart.

"Let's go, anyway, you'll have to participate today." Lin Yawen got up and said in a very friendly tone.

"I'm not going, it's going to have nothing to do with me." Zheng Fengshi is stubborn.

Lin Yawen suddenly became angry: "Don't forget, the workers have hope for you, and Chen Genfa, he was injured for the flow pipe, he dragged a lame leg, and he can keep running, what about you?" ”

Zheng Fengshi lowered his head.

His face turned pale.

Just when the two of them were deadlocked, Lin Yawen's mobile phone rang, and when she saw that it was Secretary Sun Tao calling, Lin Yawen hurriedly connected. Secretary Sun Tao asked her to go to Shawan Village immediately, saying that someone had reported to him that the villagers of Shawan Village were planning to petition. "You tell them that I, Sun Tao, have not yet reached the point of bureaucracy, what is the problem, after the provincial leaders leave, I will go to the village to solve it!" Lin Yawen couldn't take care of Zheng Fengshi anymore, closed the phone and walked out, and when she was about to go out, her eyes suddenly touched a photo, a group photo of Zheng Fengshi's family. She had never seen this photo, and the last time she came to his house, she didn't seem to find a family photo.

Lin Yawen stood in front of the photo and looked at it carefully for a while, and then she was convinced that the woman on the plane was not mistaken, it was Xie Wanyin.

When the Drainage Management Office held an emergency meeting, Seventy-two drove a flock of sheep past and saw a yard of people. didn't think about it, just such a sentence, immediately alarmed the police who stayed in the village, and the three policemen panicked, for fear that the villagers would really make trouble, so they called the phone, and as a result, the matter reached the ears of Secretary Sun Tao.

When Lin Yawen arrived at Shawan Village, seventy-two had already circled the sheep, and with her hands behind her back, she went to find Song Er's toad to lie. Hu Erkui, the village party secretary, had just come back from the field, and when he heard Lin Yawen say that the villagers were petitioning, he immediately blushed his neck and said: "Who made a rumor, the village is calm, the chickens don't dare to crow, and the camel's mouth is covered by me, which one dares to petition?" The matter was clarified, and Lin Yawen reported to Secretary Sun Tao on the phone. Secretary Sun Tao said: "It's good that the wind and waves are calm, you keep a snack, at this time, don't add to the chaos." ”

Lin Yawen returned to the flow management office, the meeting was over, she asked Qi Maolin, what was the result? Qi Maolin said viciously: "What's the result, my sister ran to my house to make trouble!" Lin Yawen thought that the news of Xiao Houzi being taken away must have reached the family, and for a while, she didn't know how to comfort Qi Maolin. Qi Maolin left her and drove to the county seat overnight. Ten minutes after the car left the flow management office, she called again and asked Lin Yawen to find Zheng Fengshi and check the accounts owed to the flow management office in the county.

This night, Secretary Feng Qiao did not return to the management office, after inspecting Dongba Township, he went to the cotton field by the South Lake to take a look, took a group photo with the old farmers who planted cotton, and then asked Secretary Sun Tao: "Where is dinner, or eat in the village, I haven't eaten Shaxiang for a long time." ”

Secretary Sun Tao said with a smile: "The villagers are busy now, so don't bother them, it's close to the Five Buddhas, so let's go to the Five Buddhas to eat." ”

So, the group drove to Wufo County. Later, Lin Yawen heard that Chen Genfa led people to besiege the flow management office, and no one dared to report it to Feng Qiao, and Secretary Sun Tao blocked the matter from him. At that time, Feng Qiao didn't know that such a serious incident had happened in the compound of the flow management department.

He really doesn't know?

The turmoil subsided at noon the next day. The previous day's meeting made five decisions: First, Zheng Fengshi should be dismissed from the post of director of the Circulation Management Division, and Comrade Qiao Renshan should take full charge of the work of the Circulation Management Division. Second: unswervingly implement the decision of the provincial party committee and the provincial government on accelerating the reform of the system reform of the management office of the poplar river basin and promoting the comprehensive development of various undertakings in the poplar river basin, and comprehensively launch the reform plan of the management office. Third: all five small and medium-sized enterprises in the basin will be handed over to Shahu County before the end of the month**. Fourth: Chen Genfa prefabricated factory director was dismissed, and the serious mistakes made by him were handed over to the Shahu County Commission for Discipline Inspection for handling, and deputy director Liu was also cut down. Fifth: Xiao Houzi and others were handed over to the Shahu County Public Security Department for handling, and at the same time asked the flow management office to take this as a warning to strengthen the ideological and political work of employees and avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.

At noon the next day, Qi Maolin had not yet returned from the county seat, Lin Yawen was arranging the next step with Wang Shulin in Huyang Township, Comrade Feng Qiao still had three townships and towns that had not been inspected, he came down this time because he wanted to go all over the land where he had squatted, among which Shawan Village in Huyang Township was placed last, Lin Yawen was still not worried about Hu Erkui, afraid that he would do something amazing on the last day. Lin Yawen told Wang Shulin that he must do Hu Erkui's work well, and when necessary, let him write a written guarantee to the township party committee. As soon as the work was arranged, the phone rang, and Director Sun asked her to return to the management office quickly. When Lin Yawen returned to the flow pipe, she heard that four of the five rules set yesterday had been overturned again.

Except for Zheng Fengshi's dismissal, everything else has changed.

Chen Genfa and Deputy Director Liu have been sent to the prefabrication plant and asked them to re-verify production and clear capital, especially in the area of foreign arrears, how much and which units owe it, and report to the provincial department one by one. Surprisingly, the working group made a decision that the Provincial Department of Water Resources would first allocate 3 million yuan and the provincial finance department would allocate 2 million yuan to pay back the wages of employees. Serious illness medical treatment and endowment insurance, etc., shall be agreed upon by the county and the flow management office, and shall be reported to the System Reform Commission for separate study.

There is another surprising thing, a few little waiters were released, and they were sent to the prefabrication plant that morning. The comrades at the police station didn't say anything, handed over the person to Chen Genfa and left.

Lin Yawen was wondering what was going on, and suddenly saw Hong Guangda coming out of the office, with a bandage on his head, a suspender on his arm, and a limp on his legs, following Zeng Qingan, nodding his head and waist.

Lin Yawen understood in her heart. It seems that some people are still afraid.

Zeng Qing'an was extremely depressed that day, he looked at Lin Yawen several times, but he didn't say anything with a gloomy face, as if it was she Lin Yawen who forced him to make a new decision.

A turmoil subsided like this, and Lin Yawen later learned that Hong Guangdayuan wanted to make a big deal out of it, and his medical expenses cost more than 10,000 yuan in one day and one night. On the same day, the development company took out 500,000 yuan as a temporary relief fund for employees and handed it over to Chen Genfa.

The work of the Working Group has only then returned to normal. Hong Guangda's attitude was surprisingly good, dragging his injured leg, serving the working group diligently and thoughtfully, and his face no longer had the domineering spirit that he had a few days ago. When I saw Lin Yawen, I was polite and affectionately called her Secretary Yawen. Lin Yawen's heart suddenly became heavy, not only for Zheng Fengshi, but also for the change in the attitude of the working group, and the sudden pacification measures taken by the province, all of which made her feel that behind the reform of the flow management department, there was really something unspeakable, what was it? She was lost in thought.

On the second day, Zheng Fengshi quietly left the flow control office, did not say hello to anyone, and the mystery disappeared again. Lin Yawen received a text message, which turned out to be a poem:

Green sleeves can't hide the bitter tears of loneliness

Painting hoes and burying are colorful

I don't know that it is Ganoderma lucidum grass

But he accompanies him with poetry

There are many sad strangers

The falling flowers are gone

Chiaki sings sad things

Since ancient times, the love is the most afraid of the truth

A fine product, it was originally a Yue Opera funeral flower, Zheng Fengshi sent her this poem, what does it mean?

Standing in the sand at dusk, Lin Yawen was full of emotion, how many vicissitudes and great changes have been experienced in this land under her feet, and behind each great change, is there a story accompanied by blood and tears? Thinking about it, she came back to her senses, why did she become sour? That night, Secretary Sun Tao called her and Qi Maolin to his side, and said with a heavy heart: "There is a new idea in the province, I can't eat it, you can help me come up with an idea." ”

"What's the idea?" Lin Yawen asked anxiously. Secretary Sun Tao smiled faintly: "Yawen, you are more anxious than me, and this temper will have to be changed in the future." After reminding Lin Yawen, Secretary Sun Tao said: "The Provincial Forestry Department wants to take back all the forest land in the basin, and the System Reform Commission also agrees that the forest land should be centrally managed, transformed and developed in a unified manner." ”

"It's not going to work, it's going to be a big problem." Lin Yawen's voice became more anxious. Secretary Sun Tao didn't care about her, and looked at Qi Maolin. Qi Maolin thought for a while and asked, "Badaosha also has to be recovered?" ”

"Badaosha they didn't say, the Forestry Department means to take back the forest land of the two lakes in the north and south and Qingtu Lake first, I calculated, the three lakes, not too many of the county's own forests and farmers' own forests, more than half, are from the flow management department. There is also the Shilutan Forest Farm, which the Forestry Department also wants to take back from the city, of course, they may have to give a little compensation. ”

Qi Maolin listened, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a long time. Secretary Sun Tao is not in a hurry, this matter is not in a hurry. When Director Chu of the Forestry Department put forward this opinion, he was not in a hurry to answer. Originally, I wanted to convene the comrades of the relevant departments of the city and county to discuss and then reply to the Forestry Department, but when I inspected the Shilutan Forest Farm in the afternoon, Deputy Secretary Feng Qiao suddenly said: "The east is a piece of the west, and it is not a climate, and it is difficult to manage. In this way, the greening of the watershed can be implemented. Deputy Secretary Feng Qiao's words were tantamount to hinting to him that the idea of the Forestry Department was feasible. Secretary Sun Tao summoned them and wanted to meet in advance.

"Of course, centralized management is good, the Forestry Department has taken it back, and the reason is also sufficient, I'm afraid of ......" Qi Maolin seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it. Secretary Sun Tao sighed lightly: "I'm afraid this matter will be decided soon, you two should be mentally prepared first, don't be caught off guard when the time comes." ”

"I disagree!" Lin Yawen was erect and authentic.

Secretary Sun Tao put away the light smile on his face and said: "Comrade Yawen, you can keep your opinions, but for matters related to the overall situation, you must stress principles." ”

"Secretary Sun, I'm ......" Lin Yawen wanted to explain something, Secretary Sun Tao waved his hand, "Your performance in the past two days has not been very good, as a county magistrate, you should know what you should do and what you should not do." Liberalization and emotionality will hurt you, and although you are not a member of the working group, you are the county magistrate, and you must actively cooperate with them. Secretary Sun Tao criticized a few words, and felt that his words were serious, so he changed his tone and said: "Of course, I can understand your feelings, but I don't agree with your attitude, you should be humble and learn more from Comrade Maolin." ”

Coming out of Secretary Sun Tao, it was already dark, Qi Maolin and Lin Yawen didn't speak, and both of them were thinking about a question in their hearts, why did the Forestry Department suddenly take back the forest land, is it really as people rumored, Feng Qiao wanted to divert his attention from the Water Conservancy Department, or......

When he was about to arrive at his residence, Qi Maolin said: "Don't express any opinions on this matter, when the time comes, the red and black will be up to me, and you can't plant both of them in it." After speaking, Qi Maolin entered her room, Lin Yawen stood in the courtyard for a while, repeatedly pondering Qi Maolin's words today, until the wind in the courtyard and the sand and dust entered her eyes, and then she walked into the single dormitory temporarily assigned to her by the flow pipe.

The next day, Director Chu of the Forestry Department presided over a hearing, and the number of participants was not very large, and in addition to the members of the working group, several people were expanded. Lin Yawen was notified to attend, and Secretary Sun Tao also attended the meeting. The director of the Municipal Forestry Bureau, the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the director of the Shilutan Forest Farm also appeared at the meeting. Secretary Sun Tao didn't express any opinions that day, Director Chu asked for his opinion, he still said the same thing, this matter is not urgent, ideas are ideas, and it takes a process to implement them. After a morning of discussions, no resolution was reached, but the meeting sent a message to the people that the next step was for the Forestry Department to play the leading role.

Deputy Secretary Feng Qiao's trip was relatively successful, although unpleasant things happened in the middle, but it did not affect Deputy Secretary Feng Qiao's mood at all. He was full of confidence in the reform of the flow management department, and he demanded that cadres at the city and county levels must also be full of confidence. Secretary Sun Tao nodded and said: "It's okay, the eight old men have not paid in vain all these years of labor, and the green trees there have become a big scene in the desert." Feng Qiao said with deep sympathy: "When will the land under our feet become green, you and I can be regarded as worthy of this land." ”

Talking and laughing, the convoy entered Badaosha, the green came to the face, and the air became cool. Secretary Sun Tao pointed to the winding and undulating eight sand beams and said: "These eight sand beams have left too many legends, and one day when there is a chance, please ask the eight old men to tell you about it." ”

"This suggestion is good, we should let the eight old men get out of the desert and out of Hexi, they are the banner of this era and a new generation of fools." Deputy Secretary Feng Qiao was also in high spirits, and he was in a particularly good mood today.

The leaders stepped out of the vehicle one after another and walked forward. The sand in the distance, the green in the distance, the villages, the farmhouses, the wheat fields, the faint flock of sheep, in the wind, under the sun, the desert presents an unprecedented peace. Lin Yawen walked in the front, and before the team left, she called Wang Shulin and asked him to take the first step and talk to Chen Jiasheng and them. Because Secretary Feng Qiao's itinerary was not arranged to come to Badaosha, she was afraid that the eight old men were not well prepared, so she didn't make any jokes.

After Erdaoziliang, Wang Shulin was still missing, Lin Yawen was a little strange, it is said that Wang Shulin should have returned a long time ago, he would not be stupid enough not to greet the secretary of the provincial party committee, right? Just looking at it, Qi Maolin caught up from behind and asked quietly: "What about the woods, why can't you see a single figure?" ”

"I wonder if it shouldn't be so quiet."

"It's evil, the eight old men won't listen to anything, right?" Qi Maolin said as he walked forward quickly, and without much effort, he crossed the Erdaoziliang and stood in front of the Sandaoziliang covered with red willows. Strangely, the surroundings were still quiet, and there was no one in sight. To say, there are people in this sand nest, and the eight old men can feel it, on weekdays, Qi Maolin comes, and he can't turn over Erdaoziliang, so many people rush out in the shade of the trees, so many cars today, so many people, so loud, even if Wang Shulin and they don't come in advance, the eight old men should also be ushered in.

Qi Maolin and Lin Yawen both misjudged the situation, not only did they not see the eight old men, but even Wang Shulin did not know where to go. The two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead Feng Qiao and his party to the depths of the Eight Beams. At the beginning, Feng Qiao was very interested, and every time he went to a sand beam, he had to say passionately for half a day, and under the Sidaozi beam, he also talked about the touching scene of leading the staff of the flow management office to fight hard for three months and press the sand to make fields. Slowly, Feng Qiao's face became unhappy, and his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of Secretary Sun Tao and Qi Maolin, meaning as if asking: "What about the eight old men you are talking about, why don't you even see a bird here?" ”

Secretary Sun Tao was already uneasy, and after Erdaoziliang didn't see Chen Jiasheng and others, Secretary Sun Tao was puzzled, and later saw Lin Yawen and Qi Maolin muttering, and rushed forward in a hurry, and the uneasiness became more and more serious. When he arrived at Sidaoliangzi, when Feng Qiao finished telling the scene of pressing sand and flattening, Secretary Sun Tao asked: "Go back, the scenery of Badaoliang is almost the same, and if you go inside, I'm afraid of the wind." Feng Qiao ignored him, and he also obviously showed an emotion towards Secretary Sun Tao. Secretary Sun Tao's steps slowed down, deliberately putting a distance from Feng Qiao. The hinterland of the desert is remote and there is no signal, so I can't make a call to Lin Yawen and Qi Maolin in front of me. Just embarrassed, Feng Qiao had already turned around and walked towards the red willow bush surrounded by Zeng Qing'an and Director Chu.

Feng Qiao and his entourage were blocked by the eight old men in Erdaoziliang, where did the eight old men run out, no one saw them, the group walked and walked, and the road in front of them was suddenly gone, and it was strict and tight, blocking eight people.

Seeing the face of the eight old men, Qi Maolin panicked, jumped out of the crowd, and rushed to Chen Jiasheng in a few steps: "Where have you gone, haven't you seen Secretary Feng of the Provincial Party Committee coming?" ”

Chen Jiasheng didn't say a word, nor did he call him Secretary Qi as before, his eyes crossed him and went straight to Feng Qiao.

The eight old men know Feng Qiao, and the older people in this sand nest all know Feng Qiao. Back then, Feng Qiao was indeed a man in this area.

"Get out of the way, what are you doing standing on the road stupidly?" Seeing that Chen Jiasheng didn't move, Qi Maolin shouted in a low voice.

Chen Jiasheng snorted coldly, and his waist straightened up.

At this moment, Feng Qiao had already walked in front of Chen Jiasheng, stretched out his hand enthusiastically, and greeted Chen Jiasheng with a smile.

Chen Jiasheng actually turned a blind eye, calmly put on a cold face, and glared at Feng Qiao viciously.

"Lao Chen!" Qi Maolin was so anxious that tears flowed out. Feng Qiao withdrew his outstretched hand, stroked his hair, and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't welcome me?" Lin Yawen also rushed over from behind, glaring at Chen Jiasheng.

Chen Jiasheng was like a stubborn sheep, the green tendons in his neck burst out, and his eyes were like hard sheep's horns, poking at Feng Qiao. Feng Qiao's face slowly darkened, and he realized that the eight old men in front of him were looking for fault with him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" He asked indifferently.

"What's the matter? The matter of the woods! Chen Jiasheng finally opened his mouth.

"What's wrong with Linzi?"

"What's wrong? Let the thief steal, let the thief rob. Chen Jiasheng said hatefully.

"Then you'll have to find the police." Feng Qiao said, his eyes turned to Qi Maolin: "Old Qi, have you reported the case?" ”

Qi Maolin's face was so red that he didn't know where to put it, Chen Jiasheng's words, Feng Qiao couldn't not understand, he was pretending to be confused. "Secretary Feng, this ......"

"Okay, what's the matter, you report to Secretary Qi of the county party committee, Secretary Feng is short of time, and he can't delay any longer." Secretary Sun Tao smiled and wanted to ease the atmosphere. How do you know that Chen Jiasheng didn't give Secretary Sun Tao face at all: "If you want to leave, if you don't make it clear today, no one wants to leave!" ”

The atmosphere was tense, and everyone present looked at each other, never expecting that the eight old men, who had always been honest and honest, would have such a terrifying act today.

"What do you say?" Feng Qiao was calm, and when he saw Chen Jiasheng's face darkened, his attitude became more amiable.

"You tell me, who planted the trees in the North and South Lakes? And Qingtu Lake, who planted it? ”

"yes, let's be clear, who planted it?" Other old men also came up, surrounded Feng Qiao, and started to gossip. Lin Yawen wanted to stop it, but it was too late. She regretted it again and again in her heart, she thought of everything in every way, and she was wary of everything, but she didn't expect that the eight old men would join in the fun. She withdrew from the crowd in frustration, thinking, let's make trouble, anyway, if we don't make trouble in this aspect, we will make trouble in that aspect, rather than cover it up, it is better to make a fuss.

The eight old men really came to reason with Feng Qiao because of the Forestry Department's resumption of the forest land, they were well prepared, and as soon as the conversation box was opened, there was no longer control, and the eight mouths were facing Feng Qiao's mouth, and they argued fiercely for half an hour. Feng Qiao seemed quite confident at first, speaking tepidly and paying attention to proportion, and later, later, later...... He finally said something that should not be said: "Unreasonable!" The forest land belongs to the state, not any of you, and if the country wants to take it back, which one dares to stop it? ”

"The country? You scare us with the state? Chen Jiasheng took a step forward and glared at Feng Qiao angrily. The other old men were even wilder, and as soon as they heard Feng Qiao's official tone, they immediately spread wild, and what they said was completely marginless.

The eight old men took out a booklet, which clearly recorded the ins and outs of the two lakes in the north and south and the woodland of Qingtu Lake. This booklet Lin Yawen has seen, it is a historical record of the struggle between the Shawan people and the desert, which records the glorious history of the Shawan people guarding the woodland from the Republic of China to the liberation to the land reform. The booklet is an heirloom of the seventy-two families, and the seventy-two grandfather was once a talent in Shawan Village, and in the early days of the Republic of China, he was hired to take care of the forests here. Seventy-two's father was a forest ranger in the commune during the People's Commune. Later, because of the establishment of the Drainage Management Office, all the forest land should be collected into the Drainage Management Office, and the working group from the county had an opinion, and was criticized, unable to figure it out, and committed suicide by drinking medicine.

The eight old men are right, the trees in this sand nest are all planted by the people of the sand towns. After the establishment of the flow management office, although there were several large-scale grass and tree planting, on the whole, more were destroyed than planted. To build a factory, it is necessary to destroy trees, to build a flow management office, to develop a farm, and to sell trees even to provide welfare to employees in the later stage.

"The tree is our lifeblood, you take it back in three days and release it in two days, isn't it enough to toss? Do you count on your fingers, how many trees have you destroyed in the years you have been at the flow pipe? Chen Jiasheng's words are already condemning Feng Qiao. At that time, Feng Qiao worked in the flow management department, and there were many conflicts with the villagers for the ownership of these forests. Chen Jiasheng reiterates the old saying, how can Feng Qiao still stand it?

What's more, the eight old men mentioned "121" again and mentioned the Nanhu Blood Fight, these are all scars for Feng Qiao.

"Tell us to make sacrifices, and we sacrifice less? For this flow pipe, how many steps have we conceded, the ground has been conceded, the trees have been conceded, the well has been conceded, and who cares if we live or die? ”

Feng Qiao's voice weakened, and in front of the eight old men's questions, he finally fell silent. As soon as Zeng Qingan interjected a sentence, he was pushed back by Chen Jiasheng: "You don't have the right to speak, what calculations do you have in your heart, when we don't know?" ”

Seeing this, the others all kept their mouths shut, and when it came to this, Secretary Sun Tao couldn't say anything. These days, in order for the research team to carry out the work smoothly, Secretary Sun Tao has made enough concessions. He politely reminded Feng Qiao that the ownership of forest land is a sensitive topic in Shaxiang, so he can not touch it, try not to touch it. Feng Qiao said confidently: "The forest land is governed by the forest law, as long as things are done according to the law, there will be no problem." "At this time, his method is no longer working, and the eight old men have made an excessive request, to get back the woodland of the people of Shaxiang, and not a single tree will be taken away!

"The trees we planted must be left to our children and grandchildren!"

The dispute on the side of the eight old men has not subsided, and there is an accident on the side of Yiliangzi, Hu Erkui and Seventy-two with the people of Shawan Village are waiting there, waiting for Feng Qiao and his party to turn over from Erdaoliangzi.

The news was sent by the drivers, men, women and children from Shawan Village, who came one after another, holding ropes and tying more than a dozen cars together.

Once again, the scene descended into chaos.

At this time, Lin Yawen knew that why didn't Wang Shulin see anyone? He didn't even come to Badaosha. After answering Lin Yawen's call, when she was about to go out, the township secretary ran and said that the people of Shawan were going to act, and they wanted to detain all the vehicles.
