3. Examiners

In the office of Tian Yongsheng, secretary of the town party committee.

Tian Yongsheng and Li Minqiang sat face-to-face on the sofa in the office, and they talked like home.

Tian Yongsheng smiled and asked, "Have you dealt with your object's affairs?" ”

"Hmm. If people don't want me, I can't help it, my marriage is autonomous. ”

"You're not too young, it's time to think about it, aren't you in a hurry, your father and mother are still in a hurry, I heard that the old man is ready for your wedding house?"

"Hmm. It's hard for them, and getting married is not in a hurry, the dates are naturally red in season, so let it be. ”

Tian Yongsheng smiled and said: "You work like a dragon, how can you become a worm when you talk about personal matters." Personal problems are also very important, solve personal problems, solve the worries, no worries, you can do a lot of work in the work. Then he said, "Let's talk about something else, what do you think of the current situation in your village?" ”

"I've just come back, and I don't know much about some of the situation, and I can't tell one, two, three."

Tian Yongsheng stood up and poured a glass of water for Minqiang and said, "If you have anything to say, just talk about it." ”

Li Minqiang took the water cup and said: "What I said is not necessarily comprehensive, nor is it necessarily right. In the past few years, there have been some changes in the village since I left as a soldier, but in casual conversations with the villagers, I found that they were both satisfied and dissatisfied with the development of our village. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Tian Yongsheng listened carefully.

"They are satisfied that the village is constantly developing, but they are not satisfied that the development of our village is not as fast as that of other villages, and they have not yet been lifted out of poverty, and some people's lives are still very difficult at home, and many young people cannot marry a daughter-in-law because they are poor, and the village cadres are not able to solve some practical problems for everyone in time."

"Be specific."

"For example, a lot of fruits from our village can't be sold, and a lot of them rot under the trees, and everyone is very distressed; Fruits, grains, and cotton are basically purchased by middlemen, who keep the prices down and make the villagers suffer a lot of losses. ”

Tian Yongsheng said: "It is indeed a problem for peasants to sell grain, cotton, and fruits. What do you think is going to do in your village? Of course, it's a big deal. ”

Li Minqiang thought that some of his ideas may not be in line with reality, so he said: "I haven't thought about it very well. ”

"It's normal if you haven't thought about it, if you're not in your position, you won't be in politics. Let's look at it from another angle, just as you are a bystander, let me ask you, have you ever thought about how the economy of your village will develop? Although you have been away from your village for a few years, you have grown up on the land of Shagang Village since you were a child, and you should be familiar with the basic situation of Shagang Village. And you're a good thinker. ”

Li Minqiang pondered for a while and said: "After listening to the words of the old man in the poplar forest in our village, I have some ideas in the discussion with some people: the soil quality of our village is not good, most of it is sandy land, can it be transformed; If it doesn't rain, can we drill more deep wells to achieve groundwater irrigation? whether we can engage in the processing of agricultural products, especially fruit processing, to solve the problem of farmers' difficulty in selling fruits; Can you set up a factory so that people who go out to work can come back to work; How can we improve the mechanization of agricultural production and reduce the labor intensity ...... villagers? Of course, these problems cannot be solved immediately, and they have to be taken step by step. These thoughts of mine may be some unrealistic nonsense. ”

Tian Yongsheng smiled and said, "This is a big deal, I don't think you are thinking nonsense." Then he asked, "What do you think of your village's leadership team?" ”

"I just got home and don't know anything about it."

"So have you ever thought about the position of secretary of the village party branch?"

"Didn't think about it. I didn't know much about the situation in the village when I first came back, and I also lacked rural work experience. ”

Tian Yongsheng smiled and asked, "Have you done it before you built the reservoir?" ”

"Nope."

"Didn't you do a good job, even Secretary Zhao of the county party committee praised you. Your platoon has also won the title of 'pioneer in water control'. ”

"I'm also groping under the command of the town leaders."

"No one is born to know everything, is it all learning by doing?" Tian Yongsheng looked at his watch and said, "Let's talk about this first, Dong Datian will come in a while." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as Dong Datian rode his bicycle into the gate of the town government, he happened to meet Li Minqiang pushing a bicycle out of the yard.

"Minqiang, are you coming to town?"

"Ah, Secretary Tian has something to do with me, I'll go back to the village first."

"Okay."

Li Minqiang pedaled the car and left, and Dong Datian muttered: What are you doing with Minqiang?

Dong Datian knocked on the door of Tian Yongsheng's office.

"Secretary Tian, I'm here."

"Well, you can sit down."

Dong Datian sat down uneasily.

Tian Yongsheng closed the notebook in his hand and said, "I came to you to ask you a few simple questions. ”

Dong Datian sat down in a proper manner and said, "Okay, Secretary Tian, you can ask." ”

"If you are put in the position of secretary of the village party branch, do you have the confidence to do it well?"

"Yes!" In a sworn tone, he said, "I'm going to do a good job even if I risk my life!" ”

"Have you ever thought about being the secretary of the village party branch?"

Dong Datian replied very dryly: "I have thought about it." ”

"What do you think?"

Dong Datian said very seriously: "I remember a great man said that a soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. I want to be a secretary, I don't want to be an official or a master, nor do I want to do it for my own interests, I want to lead our villagers in Shagang Village to get rich. ”

"Can you tell us more about where your road is? In other words, what do you rely on to lead everyone to get rich? What are the specific methods? ”

Dong Datian lowered his head and answered without words, because he hadn't thought about this question yet.

Tian Yongsheng smiled and said, "Since you want to be a secretary, you must have some plans in your heart!" ”

Dong Datian raised his head and said, "Yes! ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Burn bricks!"

"Burning bricks?"

"Ahh There is an old brick kiln in our village that can be re-lit on fire, and the rural soil is there, and if you light the fire and burn the bricks, it will be money! ”

"I've seen that brick kiln, it's been useless for many years, it's collapsed and dilapidated, can you still burn bricks?"

"It won't cost much to clean up and clean up."

Tian Yongsheng pondered and said, "Well, pack up and burn bricks." Are there any other plans? ”

"As the saying goes, if you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, you should have fewer children and raise more pigs, and mobilize everyone to raise more pigs."

"Raise more pigs, more?"

Dong Datian pondered and said: "Let me think about it again, there will definitely be other ways, and I will report back to you after thinking about it." ”

"Okay, you can go back and think about it."

Dong Datian left Tian Yongsheng's office suspiciously, and pushed open the door of Chang Ziming's office.

"Brother-in-law."

Chang Ziming smiled and asked, "How was the talk?" ”

Dong Datian stroked his head and said, "I don't know, and I can't see what Secretary Tian is thinking." Then he asked: "Brother-in-law, I met Minqiang just now, what do you say Secretary Tian is looking for Minqiang?" ”

Chang Ziming smiled and said, "What can happen?" Secretary Tian took a fancy to the people and became stronger. ”

"What do you mean?" Dong Datian asked anxiously.

"What do you mean, I want him to be a secretary."

"What can he do?"

"Why can't he?"

"He's just returned from the army!"

"What happened when you just got back from the army? People are educated and qualified, and everyone likes his intelligence. ”

Dong Datian said unconvinced: "Isn't it just a high school student!" ”

"High school students are better than you, you didn't finish elementary school."

"Don't you don't open any pot and mention which pot, so I'm out of luck?"

"As soon as Secretary Tian came to me to discuss, I recommended you, but Secretary Tian didn't say that he disagreed, so he wanted to talk to you."

Dong Datian smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law, it's a pro-three-point direction, and you have to continue to speak for me at the party committee." ”

"Oh, there is no turning back when I open the bow, can I not say it!"

Dong Datian stood up and said, "Brother-in-law." As long as I can be a candidate, there will be no problem when I am elected. ”

Chang Ziming nodded and said, "I know, you go back first." ”

"Then I'll go back."

"Hmm."

Dong Datian left the town government, just like Guan Gong left Cao Ying, and he was uneasy. I thought: Secretary Tian just asked me questions, and did not make it clear who would be the secretary, which means that who is the final one has not been determined in his heart. The conversation only found me and Minqiang, not Wang Wensi, which shows that the town has no intention of making him secretary. Although Li Minqiang was smart and capable, he had just returned from the army and did not know much about the situation in the village. Moreover, the countryside is different from the army, he lacks rural work experience, and he is not competitive with himself, so it is possible to be a deputy post, although Secretary Tian admires him very much, it is impossible to be the number one in the village. The pig claws are always bent inward, the mayor is my cousin-in-law, he will definitely give me a hard time, go back and find Mu Qinglin, and ask him to call Secretary Tian again and say, work hard together, maybe this will be done. Hehe, hard work pays off. As long as the time is up, can it still be done?

Dong Datian came back from the town government, silently went out of the house to buy a bottle of liquor from the commissary, asked Lin Caifeng to fry some peanuts and scrambled two eggs for him, and sat down to drink and smoke without saying a word to relieve his boredom. But the wine is in the stomach, and the mind is always quiet.

Lin Caifeng saw that he hadn't finished drinking, and said anxiously: "Drink, you won't order anything else except drinking?" He snatched the glass, "Don't drink it!" ”

Dong Datian said unhappily: "Why have you become a broken mouth, aren't I upset." As he spoke, he picked up his glass again.

"Annoyed, there's a secretary in that wine bottle, you have to move around!"

"Is it appropriate for me to go back from my brother-in-law?"

"You are really dead-hearted, you can't rely on your brother-in-law alone, you won't go to Qinglin's house."

Dong Datian took a sip and put down the wine glass and said, "Didn't Wang Wensi promise to help me fool?" ”

"No matter how flickering Wen Si is, he is also beating the side drum, you must have an attitude yourself, right? If you can't stand the grievances, you can't make a big deal, and you have to throw a few rice miles if you catch a bird! You won't suffer a loss if you give Mu Qinglin a grandson now. ”

Dong Datian pondered that what his daughter-in-law said was also reasonable, he couldn't sit back and relax, he had bowed for twenty-four days, but don't go wrong in the last trembling. Thinking of this, he said, "Listen to you, and I will go in a moment." ”

Dong Datian thought: Talk to Mu Qinglin and ask him to help Secretary Tian talk about it, is it possible? The two of us bumped into each other a lot, and sometimes we quarreled so much that we couldn't get off the stage with a red face and a thick neck, can he help me speak? He shook his head and picked up his glass again.

Lin Caifeng snatched the wine glass and said, "Look at you, why are you so close to wine!" ”

Dong Datian said angrily: "I'll go!" Okay, right? What a broken mouth. ”

Dong Datian was already drunk in a daze, picked up his clothes from the kang and put them on, and staggered out of the gate.
