As soon as Xu Yuanzhou sat down, Song Biyun asked with concern: "Did it go well to visit my parents in Anling County this time?" Are your parents okay? ”

"Thank you for your concern, my parents are in good health."

Xu Yuanzhou and Lin Ruoxi went back to his hometown Anling this time, when he asked the municipal party committee for leave, he only said that he needed to go home to visit his parents, and did not say that he went back with Lin Ruoxi, but Song Xiaoyun is a woman, and a woman is as careful as a hair, Xu Yuanzhou, a person who is dedicated to work and can't wait to work 48 hours a day, is unusually on such a major day as the New Year's holiday, and the absent Standing Committee suddenly uses the weekend leave to go back to his hometown, then there must be something very important to go back, and he said that his parents are healthy, Then there is only one possibility for the remaining results: Xu Yuanzhou's good things are coming!

but

See through it, don't say it.

This is the city. 🅼.🅅𝙤𝓓𝕋🆆.ℂ𝙊𝕄

She picked up the teacup on the desk with both hands, took a sip of water, picked up the two notices on the table, and said calmly: "Comrade Yuanzhou, you just said on the phone that these two notices were not considered, what are the specific aspects?" ”

After the notice was issued, Song Xiaoyun also asked several county and district heads from the side to understand their reflections on the spirit of the two notices of "Qingbei City's Notice on Rectifying High-priced Bride Prices" and "Vigorously Promoting Civilization and New Practices in Qingbei City, and Actively Promoting Funeral Reform and Changing Customs".

But I didn't expect that the first person to raise objections was Xu Yuanzhou, who was known for his bold reforms, which surprised Song Xiaoyun.

"Mayor Song." Xu Yuanzhou sat precariously, and he first pointed out the problems in the "Notice of Qingbei City on the Rectification of High-priced Bride Prices": "For high-priced bride price, the people do hate it, but it is undeniable that in China's marriage tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, bride price and dowry have always been an important and indispensable part of marriage.

From ancient times to the present, the bride price carries the emotions and expectations between the two families, and is the respect and commitment of the man to the woman. It not only represents the sincerity of the man, but also the economic commitment to the woman's family, behind the sky-high bride price, on the one hand, is the greed for material and status, on the other hand, it is a deep yearning for true love and family, as a kind of agreement between men and women, it is not illegal.

When we propose zero bride price, have we considered the feelings of the woman's family?

In addition, in this notice, it is clearly proposed to impose a fine of 50% of the bride price for high-priced bride price, although the starting point is good, but from a legal point of view, it is untenable. Therefore, I think that this notice can only be used as a proposal to advocate and encourage everyone to change customs and reduce or eliminate the bride price, and cannot directly intervene by administrative means. ”

"Comrade Yuanzhou, if it was just a proposal, there would be no need to pass the meeting, and there would be no need for the municipal party committee and the municipal government to jointly issue this notice. If we do not use resolute and resolute administrative means to crack down on all kinds of high bride price, it will inevitably become an unstable factor in our Qingbei City in the future. ”

Although Song Xiaoyun felt more or less that Xu Yuanzhou was making a fuss in her heart, if it were someone else, she would not have been so patient to listen to his tirade and patiently express her views to him.

But she was facing Xu Yuanzhou.

She knows what's at stake.

"And the Standing Committee has already voted to approve it, so it can't be changed overnight, right? In that case, do our municipal party committee and municipal government still have any credibility? ”

Although Song Xiaoyun said it kindly, his tone was unquestionable.

Song Biyun's tone was unquestionable, and Xu Yuanzhou's attitude was also very resolute: "Secretary Song, if there is a mistake, it will not make us lose credibility, on the contrary, it will make the masses believe in our government more, but if there is a mistake and do not change, it will really lose credibility!" I reserve my opinion on this notice. ”

After expressing his attitude towards the "Notice on the Rectification of High-priced Bride Prices in Qingbei City", Xu Yuanzhou continued to put forward different opinions on the second notice "Notice on Vigorously Stressing Civilization and Cultivating New Practices in Qingbei City, and Actively Promoting Funeral Reform and Changing Customs": "Secretary Song, on the issue of changing burial to cremation, there must be a time for ideological change, especially in rural and remote mountainous areas, burial has been deeply rooted. At the same time, we should make great efforts to publicize the benefits of cremation, so that villagers can have a process of adaptation, instead of demanding a 100% cremation rate across the board, which is easy to go to extremes and cause contradictions. And I don't think it should be linked to political performance, otherwise, the grassroots will do whatever it takes to achieve the target
