2. False accusations

Wang Wensi knew that Li Minqiang had gone to the town for a meeting, and he was uneasy. I thought: He just got home and registered in the town, what will happen in the future? If he reports my affairs to the town leaders in front of the town leaders, it will be troublesome. He pondered and pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. After lunch, I put down the dishes and chopsticks, and quickly boarded the bicycle to the town government. He came to a stop in front of a house on the south side of the courtyard of the town government, put down his bicycle, pushed the door and didn't open it, then knocked on the door and shouted to the house in a low tone: "Learn literature, learn literature, open the door." ”

As the door rang, a young man in his twenties came out and asked, "Dad, why are you here?" ”

Wang Wensi went into the house and said, "I'm not at ease. ”

"What's going on?"

Wang Wensi didn't answer his words, and asked eagerly: "What meeting was held in the town in the morning?" ”

"The cadres of the migrant workers who repair the reservoir will be in the meeting."

"Is the time to go?"

"Hmm. I heard that Secretary Tian also talked to Minqiang. ”

Wang Wensi was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and sat on the chair: "Alas, it's really as I expected." ”

Wang Xuewen felt uneasy when he saw his father's abnormal expression: "What's the matter, ...... you?"

"I think about today, and I think about the tricky things ahead. As long as Li Minqiang is in Shagang Village, he will not have my birthday. ”

Wang Xuewen said nonchalantly: "What kind of hand is this, the road is on one side of the sky." He does his and you do yours, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so what's in your way? ”

"I hope so, but he was a nail in my eye, and he pierced me again last night."

"What's the matter, he's wiping his ass with watermelon peel endlessly!"

Wang Wensi gritted his teeth: "Hmph! As long as he's there, he won't have my sweet food to eat. The dog followed the fart, and only a few days after he arrived home, the guys who saw the wind and the rudder began to circle around him. ”

Wang Xuewen said nonchalantly: "Doesn't he want to dominate the world in Shagang Village?" Just give it to him, you can push off the nominal deputy secretary, don't worry about that idle anymore, how good it is to put your heart in your stomach and rest. ”

Wang Wensi glared at him and scolded, "You know a fart? Short-sighted stuff! He's waiting for me to do it. I took off the hat of the party member and he happily slapped his ass. I've become a white-necked one, and I can't just stretch my head out and let him play casually! When have I ever been angry with someone else, and I haven't been able to suffer enough from him before? Can't let him on my neck. What is needed now is not to give up power, but to regain what was lost. I don't have the right to speak like a fart, but I have the right to talk and fart is fragrant. With power, there is everything, as long as Shagang Village is in charge of Li Minqiang, it will be easy to deal with! ”

Wang Xuewen was a little frightened when he heard these words with swords and hidden arrows, but he still said: "I, I think you are a little cautious, if you don't do anything out of the ordinary, no matter how powerful he is, he won't do anything to you, is he still trying to tease the cat and find trouble?" I'm worried that you're having trouble with him, and it's hard to make a fuss if the weasel doesn't fight. ”

Wang Wensi glared at Wang Xuewen and said, "Say nothing sad!" What are you afraid of? Don't forget how you got here? Your good days won't last long without me! Something that doesn't fight! After saying that, he lifted his ass and walked out of the house.

Chen Wenjun, deputy secretary of the town's party committee, was flipping through a book in his office. This time he was about to carry out the task of repairing the reservoir, and he felt that his knowledge of water conservancy construction was superficial and needed to be recharged. He thinks that Chang Ziming's leadership is just a nominal person, the mayor is in charge of the overall work, and he still needs to do a lot of work in the town, so can he focus on the construction site? I'm the deputy secretary who grasps the actual matter. Tomorrow the team will depart, so we have to hurry up and prepare. It is common to dig rivers and control water to encounter the most annoying quicksand layer, he wants to check the relevant information, find an effective way to control the quicksand layer, he is looking through the information Wang Wensi came in.

"Where is Secretary Chen busy?"

Chen Wenjun raised his head: "Old Wang! What wind is blowing you here? ”

"The strong east wind of reform and opening up."

"Hehe, sit down." Chen Wenjun said and put down the information in his hand and entertained Wang Wensi.

Wang Wensi pushed and said, "Don't be busy, I'm not an outsider." ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said, "I'm not an outsider, but you don't come often, there must be something wrong with coming today, right?" ”

"You're right, you can't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"

"Haha, haha" both laughed at the same time.

Wang Wensi took advantage of Chen Wenjun pouring water for him, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it over: "The day before yesterday, the child bought a box of good ones, let's have one." The two sat down and lit up, and snorted and exchanged words.

"I heard that this time the reservoir is being repaired by you, an old expert, again?"

"I can't talk about it, but I'm really half a bottle of vinegar to say that this work."

"Sensei is modest, I'm afraid I can't find anyone smarter than you in our town, let's take the matter of repairing the embankment the year before last, the migrant workers didn't say hello to you."

Wang Wensi mentioned the matter of controlling the Haihe River embankment the year before last, and Chen Wenjun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, that work was not done beautifully. It was said that their progress was slow, so he came to a big assault, and the progress of the project went up, but a few days later, a heavy rain and the embankment was washed away by more than a meter. He asked rhetorically, "Will this happen?" What are the reflections? ”

"That's a lot of feedback!" Wang Wensi took a puff of cigarette, looked at Chen Wenjun's expression, and said solemnly: "They all say that you are a capable person." I have also done a lot of work such as digging rivers and controlling waters, and it is not easy to achieve the satisfaction of migrant workers, but you have done it stubbornly, saying that if you don't lead the team this time, others will not go to burn high incense and kowtow to him. ”

Chen Wenjun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's too exaggerated." Don't talk about this, you say everyone says it's good, what's so good? Can you elaborate a little bit more, and it's better to give specific examples. ”

Baoyu Xiangyun cried Jia's mother, each with their own ideas. The purpose of Wang Wensi coming to see Chen Wenjun was to inquire about some news, so that he could go up the mountain to collect firewood and go down to the river to fish and see the opportunity. I didn't expect to give Chen Wenjun a mallet as a needle, but put Wang Wensi on it.

Wang Wensi muttered: Why is Chen Wenjun so interested in what he said? In the project the year before last, he was criticized for problems with the construction quality, does he want to use my words to overturn the case now? You have to keep an eye on it. So Wang Wensi coughed twice and said: "There are many people who say that you are good, and there must be good examples, but I didn't get to the bottom of it, I just heard other people's discussions, if you think it is necessary, you can go to our village to find out." ”

Chen Wenjun saw that Wang Wensi was just empty words from no one under the hat, and his heart immediately became cold again. He took a puff of his cigarette and let out a long sigh as he leaned back in his chair.

Wang Wensi saw that his words did not satisfy the other party, and he felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Secretary Chen, you are busy and don't have time, I will run errands for you to find out the situation in detail, and I will report to you in two days, do you see it?" ”

Wang Wensi did not understand Chen Wenjun's mind thoroughly, Chen Wenjun became interested in his words, and did not want to use his words to negate his criticism, he had already realized that in the last project, there were problems in his practice, and the criticism of his superiors and the help of his comrades were all right. He wanted to use the merits of the previous time to guide the work of repairing the reservoir this time, because he felt that this task was much more arduous than the last one. Seeing that Wang Wensi couldn't say anything in detail, he asked without raising his head: "How are the preparations for your village's work to go to the reservoir?" ”

Wang Wensi saw that Chen Wenjun changed the topic, and his heart that was hanging in his throat fell suddenly, and because he was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but stand up: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" I've been working on this for three days, and the team will leave as soon as you give the order. ”

Chen Wenjun glanced at Wang Wensi and said, "You sit down, Li Minqiang is a good comrade, but he has just arrived home, and he may not know much about some situations in the village, so you need to help him more." ”

Wang Wensi nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, this is what I have to do, you can rest assured." It's for this that I make a request to you, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"What's the matter?"

"I also want to go up to the construction site of the reservoir."

"Why?"

"Minqiang just arrived at home and didn't know the temperament of the people in the village, so I was worried that he wouldn't be able to manage it. The people who came out of the army were simple-minded, and they loved to be called Zhen'er. However, the migrant workers are not as educated as the soldiers in the army, so I am worried that when I get to the construction site, there will be a confrontation and the people will not be able to suppress the battle. Besides, the work of repairing the reservoir is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, and he has never done it and lacks experience, so he is afraid that it will affect the progress of the project. Although my level is not high, I have done this job after all, and I am better than the people, so it is okay to give him an idea? ”

Chen Wenjun smiled: "Hehe, it's really an old comrade, I think a lot, the meeting of the people who go has been decided, I can't be the master if you want to go." ”

Wang Wensi said: "Oh, you can't be a family for such a trivial matter? When Wang Wensi said this, seeing that Chen Wenjun did not answer his words, he said, "Why don't you talk to Secretary Tian and the town mayor for me." ”

Chen Wenjun got up from the chair, paced casually in the room and said, "I'm afraid it's useless, that's a hard work, can you do it with the boys when you're old?" Don't slap your swollen face and become fat! It's not okay to be old! ”

Wang Wensi also stood up and straightened his chest and said, "Secretary Chen, no problem!" The construction of the reservoir is for the benefit of the people, as a veteran party member who has been educated by the party for many years, can he not give up his life to do it? Sensei worries about my body, I can do it! Wang Wensi said that he was so serious, serious, and so resolute, just like a soldier asking to go to the battlefield.

Chen Wenjun, a person who loves to move emotions, was really moved and had a good impression of Wang Wensi: What a good comrade this is! He trusts Wang Wensi and thinks that Wang Wensi is a very good rural cadre, he has been doing leadership work in rural areas for many years, has certain work experience, and he may be able to help him when he arrives at the construction site. But he also thought that Wang Wensi had to report to the town party committee for research when he went to repair the reservoir, and he couldn't be the master himself, so he pondered for a while and said: "Home work also needs comrades with work experience like you." I still said just now, you are old, Secretary Tian will not agree. ”

Wang Wensi had already seen the changes in Chen Wenjun's feelings, he was happy in his heart, and at the same time he also felt that this was also the time when he was trusted by the leadership, so he continued: "I am a little older, I understand, but you also have to understand my heart, I have been a person for half my life, besides, there is no old or young on Huangquan Road, how many years can I contribute to the party's work?" Other work in the village is also important, I know this, but building such a large reservoir is the first major event in our county, and I feel uncomfortable if I can't participate! With that, he sat down in his chair.

Chen Wenjun smiled and said: "It's useless to be uncomfortable, the list of people to go to the construction site has been decided." Speaking of this, he felt that saying this would disappoint the other party too much, so he said in a comforting tone, "In this way, if Minqiang can't stand it or lacks work experience, I will suggest that you replace him, what do you think?" ”

Wang Wensi pretended to be disappointed and said: "Alas, you still let me hold the pillow and dream, and I like it." I can't help it if you leaders don't let me go, but you really have to take a place in your head what I say, and you have a lot of things to do as leaders, so don't forget about me. ”

"How can it, don't worry, you can't forget."

Wang Wensi stood up and said: "That's good, you are busy, I have to go back quickly, Minqiang does not know the situation in the village, I am not at ease, I have to go back to help him prepare carefully." I'm leaving. ”

Chen Wenjun stood up and sent him off.

Wang Wensi walked out of the door, Chen Wenjun looked at his back, and said to himself: "What a good comrade who is responsible for his work!" ”

As soon as Chen Wenjun sat down, Wang Wensi came back. After entering the house, he closed the door and did not sit down, but leaned in front of Chen Wenjun and whispered: "There is something I want to think about and think I have to talk to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Wenjun was stunned.

"Minqiang's business."

Chen Wenjun was stunned: "What's wrong with Minqiang?" ”

Wang Wensi said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Minqiang has made a lot of progress in the eight years of being a soldier, and he has become the company commander of the army and returned to farm, which is a new thing, I admire it from the bottom of my heart, and I have to learn from him." But ......" stopped again at this point.

Chen Wenjun shook his head and said, "Why did you become a person who loves to talk in circles, just now you said that you were not at ease with him, and in the blink of an eye, you learned from him again, and I was confused." ”

"I want to learn from him, but there is no perfect person in the world, and Minqiang also has a fly in the ointment, and I need you to help him more. At first, I didn't think there was any need to tell you, but I have your help when I get to the construction site,......" At this point, he stopped talking again, pondered for a while, and then said, "Forget it, he will correct it himself." "After that, I have to leave again.

Chen Wenjun was a little impatient and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" Why are you like an old cow eating grass and spitting? ”

Wang Wensi saw that Chen Wenjun was interested in his words, coughed twice and said: "It's okay to talk about it, it's not that I'm saying that he is not, I'm reflecting the situation to you, Minqiang has a lot of advantages, but he can't be round, and he can't be complete, his shortcomings are that he is too arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, he actually said among the masses that Secretary Mu Qinglin occupies the toilet and doesn't, and says that Datian is a brainless 255 and doesn't admire being a leader, is this too much?" Also, he is subjective, he likes to show off himself, and he doesn't have enough respect for others, so when he talks about his home, he has quarreled with others three times. It's okay to quarrel with me, I can forgive you for being young and vigorous, but you don't do that when you quarrel with others! It made a lot of trouble, and Mu Youlin, the captain of the forest ranger, couldn't do it, so he lay at home and slept a lot. He and his father Li Baiwang made a big noise with Wang Wenzhi on the street, beating Wang Wenzhi to a blue nose and swollen face, and surrounded the people on the street...... Alas, the problem is bigger, and it has to be killed, how dangerous it is! I was afraid that something would happen on the construction site, so I asked to go to the reservoir construction site. ”

When Chen Wenjun heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and stood up suddenly and said, "I just got home and made trouble like this, and I won't be ...... It's just ignorant. After pondering for a while, he said, "If you can't do it well, you can't convince the public, and this person's heart will have no cohesion. Whether it is in the village or at the reservoir construction site, cohesion is needed, and nothing can be done without cohesion. Lao Wang, Minqiang is young and vigorous, lacks work experience, although he has been training in the army for several years, but after all, it is a army, which is different from local work, you are an old comrade, you have prestige in Shagang Village, and you must help him more in the future. ”

Wang Wensi shook his head as if he had eaten a bitter cucumber tail and said: "Alas, prestige, that's a matter of turning back to the scenery (well) with water, although there is still a title of deputy secretary in the village, but Dong Datian is simple-minded, domineering, and the people are strong and there is no one in his eyes, I am difficult to talk and do things in Shagang Village, I am driving a car to chase rabbits, and I can't do it if I have the strength!" I...... Alas......"

Chen Wenjun interrupted Wang Wensi's words and said: "Don't complain and be discouraged, you have rural work experience, and the organization trusts you very much. Mu Qinglin is not in good health and can't insist on working, I understand Lao Dong, he is a good person and willing to work, but his education level is low and his working methods are simple, you should help him do more work. ”

Wang Wensi was very happy when he heard what Chen Wenjun said, especially when he heard the sentence "You have rural work experience, and the organization trusts you very much." If these words were said by someone else, he probably wouldn't have cared, but now it is the deputy secretary of the town party committee who is saying this, and it is his direct leader. How could he not be happy in his heart. But his joy was in his heart, and his face did not show it. He glanced at Chen Wenjun and said: "It's one thing for the organization to trust me, but people came back from the army and didn't take me seriously at all. He sighed and walked away, and Chen Wenjun shouted at him twice without looking back.

Chen Wenjun looked at Wang Wensi's unhappy back and felt unhappy: Li Minqiang injured people like this as soon as he came back, can he not unite comrades to do a good job? Will there be problems on the reservoir site? He was a little worried. I have to tell Secretary Tian that I want to help Minqiang well, young people can't help me if they don't help, and I really have to be mentally prepared to let Wang Wensi replace Li Minqiang.

He sat back in his chair and continued to look at the technical data.

The migrant workers are about to set off. The rooster was still crowing in the nest, so Li Minqiang got up, filled the water tank, and swept the yard clean. Then, like the head of the unit inspecting the team before departure, he inspected the things and supplies that needed to be brought in detail.

The sun rises in the east and radiates a soft and warm glow. Li Minqiang was walking happily on the street, Yang Xiujuan, Wang Yuling and Li Dongmei walked towards him happily, Yang Xiujuan handed the red paper bag in her hand to Li Minqiang: "Brother Minqiang, you are about to go, we will give you something." ”

"What's that?" Puzzled, Li Minqiang opened the red paper bag, which contained a bright flag embroidered with eight large golden characters - water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture. Li Minqiang looked at it excitedly, a pride of battle violently hit his heart, and he said a word for a long time: "Thank you!" ”

Yang Xiujuan said seriously: "Thank you, this is what we should do, your construction of the reservoir is a major event for the benefit of future generations, we are happy, so we embroidered these words on this flag and sent them to you, I hope you will always hold high the red flag and move forward." ”

Li Minqiang said again: "Thank you!" ”

Wang Yuling answered: "This is not what we are drawing, we hope that you will do a good job on the construction site and win glory for our Shagang Village!" ”

Li Minqiang listened to the girls' heartfelt words, and felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders, how much hope everyone has for us!

The old man in the poplar forest came over and said to Minqiang: "It's unreliable to rely on the sky to eat, and we will be dumbfounded as soon as God turns his face." Now you go to repair the reservoir, this is to fight with the Dragon King, the whole village men, women and children have great hopes for you, you must do a good job......"

Li Minqiang thought about everyone's hopes in his heart, looked at the red flag in his hand, as if he had blown a trumpet at him, and he wanted to break through all obstacles and plant the red flag to the highest peak. In order to realize the good wishes of the people, even if you go to Dao Mountain, there can be no ambiguity. He said excitedly: "Don't worry, everyone, we are all tough guys, and we will definitely bring you good news." ”

The old man in the poplar grove nodded with a smile, and the girls had a remarkably satisfied smile on their faces. The girls felt that what they had just said was just superfluous, and they admired and trusted Li Minqiang standing in front of them from the bottom of their hearts.

The bright sun shone on the bright red flag, and the red flag reflected the faces of the migrant workers and the beating hearts.

The team set off, and the migrant workers were like soldiers of the army going out on the march, beating the quilts in all directions, straddle them tightly on their shoulders, and carrying a shovel on their left shoulders like carrying a rifle, they lined up with their heads held high and walked forward with high spirits. The young men were all full of smiles, and Xiao Minghui, who was waving the flag, walked in front of the team, and the flag horn stroked his ruddy face from time to time. Dong Datian's carriage was loaded with small carts, wood, linoleum and other supplies, like a hill following closely behind the team, and his face was full of smiles.
