This year's Spring Festival is significantly later than in previous years, and the end of the first month of Huanxi will soon enter the third month of the solar calendar.

The warm winter in Spring City, which is obviously different from the past, comes and goes quickly, and the weather is still a little chilly in April compared to the previous solar calendar, and now the weather is exceptionally warm in the early spring near Arbor Day.

Spring City, which has the highest greening rate in the country, attaches great importance to the Arbor Day every year.

This can be seen from the fact that the leaders of the municipal party committee set an example every year and personally planted saplings, and it is a fine tradition that the urban greening rate of Spring City has always maintained a high level.

In the years since Chen Youwei came to Spring City, he has never been absent from afforestation activities every year, and the first saplings he planted at the beginning of his arrival in Spring City are now thriving.

This year's Arbor Day is coming again, and according to the relevant arrangements, Chen Youwei made plans early.

As in previous years, most of them were fixed in the Chuncheng Botanical Garden or the park for afforestation, Chen Youwei had an idea for a while, and this year, the place where the four members of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress and the CPPCC carried out tree planting was replaced by the martyrs' cemetery in Beifang County in the suburbs.

Such an unexpected arrangement seems a bit unexpected to ordinary people, but it is also reasonable.

During the Liberation War, although Chuncheng was peacefully liberated as a whole, the fighting situation in Beifang County and other peripheral areas was quite fierce.

The famous Beifang Resistance Battle is well-known at home and abroad, with such a glorious and glorious place, and the Spring City side will carry out grand commemorative activities there on some major anniversaries.

March 12 is the Chinese legal Arbor Day, but such a beautiful day is the day to commemorate the Beifang Blockade Battle.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems a little strange to carry out such a commemorative activity on such a day, but in the eyes of countless people in Spring City, such an event is a glorious day worthy of their remembrance from a higher level.

When the tall figure of the young secretary of the municipal party committee appeared in the Beifang Martyrs Cemetery, the square in front of the monument was extremely silent.

With Chen Youwei's current status and level, as long as the relevant work is arranged, many things can basically be left alone.

According to a certain procedure, a solemn and silent mourning was held in front of the monument, there was no long speech, and it was so silent that only heavy mourning was left in people's hearts, and the atmosphere at the scene was solemn to the extreme.

After the commemoration of the martyrs' cemetery, Chen Youwei and the leading members of the four major teams slowly came to the relatively secluded area of the cemetery to dig pits and plant trees.

Compared with other places, it is more of a formalistic show, and the long-standing practice of Spring City is that the leaders personally complete every aspect of tree planting. Instead of digging the tree pit early, as in other places, the leaders only need to do the final light filling and watering work.

This year's saplings are all cypresses, and these saplings with a year or two of age have a slightly upright posture, and Chen Youwei is young and strong, from digging pits to filling the soil and watering the most relaxed.

Before the pit of the first tree was dug up, he was already planting the next one.

The lively morning ended in such a cheerful working atmosphere, watching the staff at all levels of the four major teams plant dense saplings in the more barren areas of the martyrs' cemetery, Chen Youwei felt a burst of joy in his heart.

For such seemingly retreating activities, Chen Youwei has always attached great importance to it since he served as the secretary of the Chuncheng City Party Committee.

A more entertaining approach like today's approach might be more effective than more lifeless preaching in the office.

The results of the labor of each of the leaders of the municipal party committee, including Chen Youwei, who have planted ten trees, do not seem to be much, and it is really not an easy job for most of these leaders, who are in their fifties.

Even if some people have some resistance in their hearts, after seeing the young secretary of the municipal party committee set an example and planted twenty saplings, they naturally have nothing to say to the extreme.

All the activities arranged in the morning were over, and the participants were exhausted by this profound political and ideological education class, and left the venue early and returned to the city.

Chen Youwei, who was very interested, took Li Shouliang and some members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to stroll slowly in the martyrs' cemetery, and it was rare to come here once, and the good scenery here in the Beifang Martyrs' Cemetery was worth their lingering.

"When I was a child, my favorite thing to watch was those war movies that reflected our heroic and invincible soldiers, and now I really stand at the memorial site of these martyrs who shed their blood for the country and the nation, and I can still feel how tragic and nostalgic the smoke of those eventful years was!"

Chen Youwei stood on a relatively high hill somewhere in the martyrs' cemetery, looked at the towering monument not far away, and sighed incomparably.

"My father-in-law is an old revolutionary who participated in the Anti-Japanese War, and every time I visit him, what makes him happiest is to accompany him to talk about the topics of the past war!" Xiao Ping, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, has a misty vision, with the words and deeds of the elders of the old revolution, like them, who have come from the special years, have a deeper understanding of the good life now.

"The current peace is not easy to come by thousands of revolutionary martyrs with their lives, if we can't always remember the heroic deeds of these martyrs, then we will forget our roots! What awaits us must be the punishment of history! Chen Youwei said in a deep voice.

"Now that the economy has gone up and the standard of living has improved, I have to say that some chaotic ideas in society are gradually surfacing!" Pan Jianming, secretary general of the municipal party committee, said in a deep voice: "Especially now that some foreign trends of thought are pouring in, the idea of attaching too much importance to material things among young people has begun to rise. ”

"I know that there is even a saying in society that laughs at poverty and does not laugh at prostitutes!"

Chen Youwei glanced back at the people behind him with clear eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We must resolutely oppose such erroneous words and deeds, and the proliferation of such statements can show to a large extent that the side effects of our focus on economic development in the past period of time have appeared. From now on, we must gradually increase the education of our national quality, and at least let our citizens understand what kind of life we should live when we live well! ”

Xiao Ping stared at the young secretary of the municipal party committee with complicated eyes, nodded softly: "Secretary Chen is very thoughtful, and the economy should not be our only goal!" ”

"The overall situation in our Spring City is still good, at least there is no scene of nouveau riche fighting each other for wealth like other places." Chen Youwei naturally knows that it is better not to be too pessimistic about things on such a relaxed occasion now.

As Chen Youwei is the secretary of the municipal party committee, there are some things that he must attach importance to in a higher position, but for those staff who are engaged in specific work below, such pressure may not be something they can bear.

Chen Youwei, who is becoming more and more handy in such a position now, can basically easily control the situation, and now he is definitely a leader with full authority in the eyes of Chuncheng.

In the northwest corner of the martyr's cemetery, a group of brand-new tombstones aroused the curiosity of looking around Chen Youwei.

"When will the Martyrs' Cemetery be renovated? How come I am not impressed? Chen Youwei looked back at Li Shouliang and asked.

Li Shouliang also looked over there suspiciously, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard that Beifang County has reported similar movements!" ”

Qi Desheng, secretary of the Beifang County Party Committee, who had been closely following him, replied cautiously and hurriedly: "Secretary Chen, the cemetery has reported to the county that it is due to insufficient funds and hopes to open up some areas for the construction of cemeteries, and these should be those cemeteries that are sold to the outside world......"

Qi Desheng has been in this position for several years, and he thought he was hugging the thigh of Jiang Zhenbang, secretary of the Listing Committee, at all, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, the political pattern of Spring City would have undergone such a huge change.

Knowing clearly that after the biggest backer left for a foreign country, whether he could sit firmly in his current position was what Qi Desheng was most worried about.

Fortunately, his own deputy, Niu Ben, the magistrate of Beifang County, was also difficult to raise his profile because of the mining accident.

The first and second leaders of Beifang County, who can be called difficult brothers, have always kept a low profile in front of the powerful young municipal party secretary.

As a key cultivator in the southern department, Niu Ben saw that he was gradually losing his life in Chuncheng, so he decisively chose to transfer out last year.

With a county magistrate in the sphere of influence of the young party secretary next to him, Qi Desheng saw more and more gloom about his future.

"Open to the public to build a cemetery?"

Chen Youwei's eyes froze, and he said in an unkind tone: "Your county agreed?" ”

Jiang Guoqing, who was promoted from the position of deputy secretary general of the Chuncheng City Government to the position of county magistrate in Beifang County, heard Chen Youwei's unkind tone, and hurriedly explained: "Our county naturally did not agree to such an obvious violation of the law, but now it seems that they should have done it secretly in private!" ”

Chen Youwei snorted heavily and said, "Since the county didn't pass, then you just let it go?!" ”

Qi Desheng, who was weak-hearted, was sweating profusely, and he knew that if this matter was not good, it would be the Waterloo of his officialdom and the end of his career.

"Secretary Chen, we have indeed neglected this matter, and we will order them to rectify it!" Qi Desheng reacted quickly, and in front of so many leaders of the municipal party committee at the scene, he immediately expressed his position.

The pressure in Jiang Guoqing's heart is actually not small, he doesn't want such an unacceptable thing to happen in his office not long after the acting county magistrate above his head was removed.

"Don't be so troublesome, it just so happens that the leaders of our municipal party committee are here, so let's go to the scene to see how they operate in the market!" Chen Youwei raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said in a deep voice with blazing eyes: "Since the matter has happened, it must be solved on the spot!" The longer it drags on, the more it will be over! ”
