Chapter 43: Why (5)

At the entrance of the bus station, Hou Weidong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he couldn't tell why he had this feeling for a while, but the closer he got to the station, the stronger this feeling became, when he entered the station, he glanced at the video studio outside the station door, and there was a thin woman sitting outside the video room, looking at the pedestrians on the street with blank eyes.

Entering the station, Hou Weidong saw Chen Qingrong holding his hands and a calm face at a glance, Hou Weidong's eyes rolled, and he didn't find Zhang Yuanzheng's figure, so he couldn't dodge, so he walked over to Chen Qingrong.

"Aunt Chen, hello."

Chen Qingrong clasped her hands, looking very serious, and waited for Hou Weidong to speak, "Hou Weidong, you are a man, a man who understands feelings and has a sense of responsibility. Speaking of this, her voice suddenly choked up, and said: "We only have one daughter, we don't want her to marry in Yiyang County, if you are really good with Xiaojia, for Xiaojia's happiness, please don't come again, don't come again to disturb our lives." ā€

In Chen Qingrong's eyes, Hou Weidong is like a foreign species in South America, who came to Shazhou by chance, and actually made their lives a mess.

Hou Weidong was in the local area, he didn't know what to say for a while, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "Aunt Chen, Xiaojia and I are sincere, I am in pain when we break up like this, she is even more painful, please give us some time, I work together with Xiaojia, and we will definitely be able to change the status quo." ā€

Chen Qingrong wiped her tears and said: "I believe in your ability, but in this society, ability alone is not enough, Xiaojia's youth is only once, we are parents, we can't let her gamble, people's hearts are flesh and blood, change hearts for hearts, I hope you can understand." ā€

Hou Weidong had to admit that what Chen Qingrong said was very reasonable, and it was from the bottom of his heart, which made it extremely difficult for him, and after hesitating for a while, he still strengthened his confidence and said: "Aunt Chen, if you want me to break up with Xiaojia, I can't do it." ā€

Chen Qingrong's face was even more ugly, with tears and anger on her face, and even more helplessness.

Chen Qingrong's expression made Hou Weidong feel like an aggressor, and he said: "Give me three years, and I must be transferred to Shazhou." ā€

Chen Qingrong perked up and said: "Three years, if you can't be transferred to Shazhou in three years, you must break up with Xiaojia, on behalf of Xiaojia's father, I promise you that if you are transferred to Shazhou after three years, I will not stop you again." Then he said: "We are talking, you also have to promise one thing, don't meet Xiaojia for a while, you have only just joined the work, you should spend your main energy on work, and young people should cherish the opportunity." ā€

"What a way to delay the army."

Hou Weidong bargained: "If we meet on the weekend, we will not affect our work." ā€

Chen Qingrong said resolutely: "I don't tell you the conditions, in the past three years, Xiao Jia's father and I are not allowed to meet Xiao Jia, otherwise I will cut off relations with Xiao Jia, if it is for Xiao Jia's good, you had better not come to Shazhou." ā€

Hou Weidong did not agree to Chen Qingrong's conditions in the end, and the two broke up unhappily.

Met with Chen Qingrong, which made Hou Weidong feel quite depressed, along the way, the ideological struggle was fierce, thinking of Chen Qingrong's words and her sad expression, Hou Weidong always felt that this matter was a little cruel to the two elders, but if it was not cruel to them, it was cruel to love.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws, it seems that the ancients have long made a conclusion.

During the trip to Shazhou, Hou Weidong felt the huge pressure on his shoulders, the road was chosen by himself, and no one could blame him, only by fighting his way out of the encirclement could he be worthy of Xiao Jia's affection. The first point is to gain a firm foothold in Qinglin Town, and then return to the Yiyang County Government, and then kill Benshazhou. This goal is simple to say, but it is not easy to do, from the prosperous Shazhou, set foot in the countryside of the ancient town, Hou Weidong immediately deeply felt the gap between the ideal and the reality.

Monday and Tuesday were fine.

There is still no news of the transfer, Hou Weidong wants to work hard, but the reality is so helpless, he was exiled to Shangqing Forest Town, there is no job, even if he wants to work hard, there is nowhere to start.

"Opportunity is for those who are prepared." Under the support of this belief, Hou Weidong prepared a notebook, and every time he read a "People's Daily", he had to take notes carefully to understand the spirit of the central government.

At 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, Hou Weidong was still sitting alone in his office studying the "People's Daily", and if it was useless to study like this, Hou Weidong had no bottom, but he did not study, and he was just fooling around all day in Qinglin Township, carefully reading the editorial, turning to the fourth page, and then reading a diplomat's diary.

There was a sound of talking in the courtyard, there was a postal agency on the ground floor of the courtyard, and people often came in to call, Hou Weidong didn't care, and continued to watch the "People's Daily" intently.

"Hou University, this is Mayor Su." Li Yong, who had a beard and a beard, entered the door and introduced it with a big grin.

"Mayor Su, this is Hou Weidong."

Su Zhen was extremely small, only a little more than one meter six, and his figure was also thin, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hou Weidong, welcome to work in Qinglin Town." ā€

Li Yong then introduced, "This is the director of the agricultural office and the head of the Huang station. ā€

Director Tian wore a faded old military uniform, which looked very simple, black and thin, while Stationmaster Huang was three points similar to Shangqinglin Bai Chuncheng, white and fat, and his clothes looked very high-grade, but he felt a little bit of Shazhou people.

Hou Weidong has been in Qinglin Town for nearly ten days, and he also has a basic concept of the head of the Qinglin Town Government, and knows that Mayor Su is the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, so he politely stood up and said, "Mayor Su, please sit inside." He dragged over a rattan chair and said, "Mayor Su, sit here, it's cold." ā€

He said to Director Tian and Stationmaster Huang: "The two leaders, please sit inside." Director Tian and Stationmaster Huang talked and laughed and walked inside.

Mayor Su looked around at the office and complimented: "I haven't been here for a few days, and this office has changed, and before, there was dust everywhere. ā€

After Hou Weidong took over the office, he thoroughly cleaned the office and swept away all the filth, the reason for this is very simple, one is to show the head of Gao, and the other is that since he wants to work in this office, it is not a bad thing to have a clean working environment.

After that, the first thing he did when he went to work every day was to clean the office and conference room, which was a gesture, and Hou Weidong persevered.

After a few homely words, Township Chief Gao, Li Yong, Secretary Qin of Dushi Village, Director Jiang, Tian Fushen and others all arrived at the office, and Mayor Su said: "The office is too small, let's go to the conference room for a meeting." ā€

After entering the meeting, Mayor Su looked at the refreshing conference room, his eyes lit up, and said, "Yang Xinchun finally made up his mind to clean the conference room. Township Chief Gao said on the side: "Now the office and conference room are cleaned by Hou Weidong. Mayor Su asked strangely: "Yang Xinchun is a service worker, how can he let Hou Weidong clean the office." Township Mayor Gao explained: "Yang Xinchun is the postal agent of Shangqing Linchang Town, which was discussed by Mayor Tian and Lao Jiang of the Post Office. ā€

I heard that it was arranged by Mayor Tian, and Mayor Su didn't elaborate on this issue, and when he saw everyone sitting down, he said: "The weather on dog day is really hot, Township Chief Gao, let my sister-in-law cook porridge in a pot at noon, and return the fried plate to the pot meat, let's drink two cups." ā€

Secretary Qin, who was sitting below, said loudly: "Don't trouble Township Chief Gao at noon today, Mayor Su will personally come to collect the retention plan that was not paid last year, no matter how poor our Dushi Village is, this guest can still afford it." ā€

"What is called chasing in person, this is my job, I also personally relieve my hands, eat by myself, and sleep with my wife in person." Mayor Su was silent for a moment, then his face turned straight, and he said: "Today, I went up the mountain, one thing, to recover the arrears of Dushi Village last year, and I would like to ask Director Jiang to talk about the specific situation." ā€œ

Director Jiang, the director of the village committee of Dushi Village, is a middle-aged man with a loyal face, he took out a piece of paper from his bag and said: "Last year, I owed a total of 3,412 yuan to the Retention Coordinator, mainly the second community of Dushi Village, and the courtyard of the He family owed the most."

Waiting for Director Jiang to point out the specific people, Mayor Su said: "The retention of the overall fee is a fee that should be levied according to the state, but last year, the situation of Qinglin Town was very unsatisfactory, the town collected less than 60% of the total, many farmers refused to pay, Shangqinglin Dushi Village is an example, I analyzed, there are three main reasons for the difficulty of collecting in the town: first, the individual people have poor awareness of paying fees, and they are unwilling to bear a reasonable burden; Second, the calculation of the overall retention fee is unreasonable, the village-level financial management is chaotic, and there are also problems in the collection method, resulting in the inability of the village to spend normally, which affects the development of the work, and some villages cannot collect the overall retention fee, and the salary of the village cadres cannot be paid, which has dampened the enthusiasm of the village cadres. ā€

He accentuated his tone and said: "If we don't take measures to clear it this year, there will be an increase in the number of farmers who refuse to pay it, and our work will be more passive. ā€

Mayor Su is very eloquent, and his words are very clear, which impressed Hou Weidong and said secretly: "Mayor Su is really level." ā€

When he arrived in Shangqinglin, he often heard the cadres of the working group talk about the overall planning of retention, and he also had a rough understanding that the so-called retention refers to the provident fund, public welfare fund and management fees collected by the village-level organizations, and the overall planning is the funds collected by the town government for family planning, preferential care, militia training, town and village road construction, and private education, which are important financial resources at the town and village levels.
