Chapter 12: Yin and Yang Weirdness
Before Xiao Fei arrived, Su Anlin had already arranged a good meal at home, including local chicken, rice field fish, dried beef, beef shutters, braised pig's feet, wolfberry stewed bullwhip, etc., and specially bought two bottles of Wuliangye wine, ready to entertain the "God of Wealth" of the Local Taxation Bureau.
Unexpectedly, today the local taxation bureau only came to Xiao Fei, a small clerk, and the assistance funds arranged for the village were only 100,000 yuan, so he was disappointed, so he decided not to invite Xiao Fei to his home for dinner, and arranged for Su Yuejin, the village accountant, to take Xiao Fei to a small restaurant on the side of the national highway for dinner, and he took the village director Su Guangxi back to his small villa at the east end of the village, and called Li Hongbin, secretary of the party committee of Yanshan Town, Huang Baoquan, mayor of the town, Li Lin, chairman of the township people's congress, and Hu Haili, deputy secretary of the party committee. Invite them to their villas to eat local chickens, fish and bullwhips......
According to the arrangement of the Organization Department, all the members of the mass work team stationed in the village either eat together at the villagers' homes and pay the food fee every day, or cook and eat at their own residences, and then return to their units for reimbursement. Xiao Fei didn't want to trouble the villagers, so he brought his own cooking utensils and chopsticks, and planned to borrow a briquette-burning stove in the village to cook his own food.
However, because he had just come to the village today, he had no time to buy vegetables and cook, so he followed the village accountant Su Yue into a home-cooked restaurant on the side of the national highway, ordered two dishes and one soup, and followed Su Yuejin to the village committee office building after eating in a hurry. When passing by Su Anlin's house, he suddenly saw two cars coming over and stopped outside Su Anlin's country villa, Li Hongbin and others got out of the car and walked straight into Su Anlin's house.
Su Yuejin may have been a little dissatisfied with Su Anlin, so he deliberately asked Xiao Fei: "Cadre Xiao, why didn't the Anlin branch secretary invite you to his house for dinner?" This morning, he asked the village director Su Guangxi to buy a lot of good dishes, and also prepared two bottles of Wuliangye wine, saying that he wanted to entertain the leaders of the local taxation bureau. Now that the town leaders have been invited by him, why did he leave you alone? ”
Because all the villagers in Sujia Village are surnamed Su, Su Yuejin did not shout "Su Zhishu" when he called Su Anlin, but called him "Anlin Zhishu".
As soon as Xiao Fei heard Su Yuejin's words, he understood: Su Anlin had a lot of opinions about the bureau leaders not coming to the village in person, and he was also disappointed with the 100,000 yuan in assistance, so he didn't invite himself to his house for that sumptuous luncheon to vent his dissatisfaction......
So, he said to Su Yuejin casually: "It's okay, I'm here to carry out the help work, not to eat and drink." In addition, the mass work team has a disciplinary requirement that it is strictly forbidden to participate in eating and drinking at public funds in the village, and if village cadres are found to be eating and drinking at public funds, they must be stopped. So even if the Anlin branch secretary invites me, I won't participate in their publicly-funded eating, drinking, and banquet. ”
Su Yuejin thought that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, sneered in his heart, didn't say anything more, took him to the second floor of the village committee office building, arranged for him to live in a room, told him that the place to take a bath was in the bathroom in the stairwell, and then said goodbye......
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xiao Fei received a call from the secretary of the Party and Government Office of Yanshan Town, informing him to go to the conference room on the fifth floor of the town at nine o'clock to participate in the work deployment meeting of the mass task force.
At around 8:50, Xiao Fei entered the conference room on the fifth floor of the office building in Yanshan Town, looked around for a seat, and finally saw the note that read "Local Taxation Bureau" on the leftmost seat in the penultimate row.
When the participants arrived one after another, Xiao Fei found that the people from the county State Taxation Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Financial Office and other units were all arranged to sit in the first row, and among the six mass work teams of the county organs participating in the meeting, only he, the local taxation bureau, was arranged in the last two rows, and the party secretaries and village directors of each village were sitting with him. These branch secretaries all looked at him with curious eyes, obviously wondering why he was arranged to sit here.
Xiao Fei knew that this must have been arranged by Li Hongbin, the purpose was to deliberately humiliate himself in retaliation for his disrespectful words and deeds to him yesterday morning......
Soon after, Hu Haili, deputy secretary of the town party committee, began to inform the participants of the meeting: On the morning of the day after tomorrow, Comrade Zhou Chengjie, secretary of the Chuzhong City CPC Committee, will go to Yanshan Town to inspect the work of "stationing villages and households and providing assistance in pairs." At the same time, Secretary Zhou also has to choose one of these villages participating in the pairing assistance as his linkage point, and he will personally guide and help the village's new rural construction work......
When the village party secretary and village director below heard the news, they suddenly blew up the pot and began to "buzz" with excitement on their faces, and their faces also showed expressions of eagerness and hope: you must know that the "contact point for new rural construction" of the secretary of the municipal party committee is not only a huge honor, but also can get a lot of benefits, such as getting more assistance funds, getting the attention of the leaders of the county party committee and various departments, taking the opportunity to know the secretary of the municipal party committee and leaving a good impression on him, and so on......
Hu Haili waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then cleared his throat and continued: "Everyone, this visit by Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee to Yanshan Town is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. We must make use of the remaining day or so to make adequate preparations. In particular, the mass work teams in each village must conscientiously keep a good record of the "People's Sentiment Log" and the "Work Log", keep in mind the basic situation in the village, especially the economic development situation at the village level, and be able to answer questions smoothly and fluently if they are selected by Secretary Zhou. ”
Next, Li Hongbin emphasized several issues, requiring the village branch and the two committees of each village to attach great importance to Secretary Zhou's inspection work, supplement the materials that should be supplemented, and improve the measures that should be perfected, especially pay attention to doing a good job in the village's sanitation work, ensure that the inspected villages are clean, tidy, and beautiful, and do not leave the impression of "dirty, messy, and poor" to Secretary Zhou.
He also put forward several requirements for the mass work teams of various units, such as abiding by the discipline of mass work, being familiar with the village conditions and people's conditions and development plans of the villages to be helped, and having clear plans and measures for helping the masses.
In the end, he glanced at Xiao Fei, who was sitting in the last row, intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly said in an accentuated tone: "Regarding the question of the mass work team, I would like to say a few words here. The vast majority of the team members who come to our town to carry out the assistance work are very conscientious and responsible, but there are also individual people in a few units who disdain the work of pairing and helping, regard themselves as ministers sent by the imperial court, and have a high-minded attitude, and do not take us township cadres seriously at all. I think that if you do mass work with this attitude, sooner or later you will run into ashes! ”
