official journey ups and downs

After Zhou Haisheng drove a few cadres to weed, rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, he said to Han Lefei, "You go back to the town now, go to the restaurant and buy more than a dozen vegetables, remember, you must pick hard ones. "

Han Lefei pointed to the bicycle lane next to him: "Secretary Zhou, look at my broken bicycle, it may not be too early to go back to town."

After jogging for a while just now, Zhou Haisheng was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He twisted his body and took out his mobile phone. Seeing that there was no signal, he cursed angrily, "What a fucking place."

Shen Tong suddenly had a whim, and suggested: "Secretary Zhou, I really don't think it is necessary to go to the restaurant in the town to cook. Think about it, Director Jiang goes to various banquets every day, and he is probably tired of eating big fish and meat. And we Qingjiang Village should have a lot of wild game, why not come here and remember the bitterness and sweetness?"

Zhou Haisheng was awakened by Shen Tong, and he patted his forehead and said: "Brother Shen still has an idea, you see, I am so busy and confused. Let me tell you, Qingjiang Village lacks everything, except game. There are Qingjiang fish in the river. There are pheasants on the mountain, as well as ground vegetables, mushrooms, etc., there are countless, what do you think of these?"

Shen Tong nodded frequently and said: "I want this, Director Jiang must like it, I wonder if I can prepare it in such a short time?"

Zhou Haisheng patted his chest and said: "There is no problem at all. Fish can be caught fresh, pheasants can be hunted fresh, ground vegetables and mushrooms are all ready-made. Brother Shen can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he called out to Han Lefei who was in a daze: "What are you still doing, didn't you listen to Brother Shen's arrangement? Hurry up and find someone to catch fish and hunt pheasants."

Han Lefei felt annoyed that he was not reprimanded by Zhou Haisheng. Instead, he smiled and said to Zhou Haisheng: "Secretary Zhou, how do you calculate the wages of ordinary people?"

"You are the mayor, why do you ask me, what should I do!" Zhou Haisheng raised his hand impatiently.

Han Lefei stuck out his tongue towards Shen Tong, and left angrily.

Looking at Han Lefei who was going away, and Zhou Haisheng who was so cute, he was immediately infected by this pleasant working atmosphere.When I was in Shihe Town, the Secretary and Mayor had never unified their minds, and they often fought hard.On the other hand, Zhou Haisheng didn't put on airs at all, and he got along well with the government officials again. Shen Tong even had some illusions, but the matter was really in front of his eyes.

Shen Tong took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Haisheng. Zhou Haisheng quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not smoking anymore. I'm quitting. Look at my body shape. I'm three tall. If I smoke again, I'll die. Haha..."

Shen Tong looked back for the driver, Lao Chen, and saw him sitting leisurely on the Qingjiang River dam, enjoying this rare leisure.Shen Tong looked at old Chen's rickety back, thought of his father, and felt sad.

Shen Tong seemed to have thought of something again, and hurriedly stopped Han Lefei who was walking in front of him, ran forward and said, "Mayor Han, if you are going to catch fish and hunt pheasants, prepare more. When you leave, give it to Director Jiang, Secretary Wu Director Zhang will bring a copy."

Han Lefei had a quick mind and immediately understood.He said to Shen Tong with a little admiration: "Brother Shen, as expected of the county party committee, what you think is thoughtful, no problem, I will do it right away."

Zhou Haisheng who ran up also echoed, "It's a good thing that brother Shen is here, otherwise our job would be to catch the blind and we wouldn't be able to find the north."

Shen Tong said modestly: "Don't dare, dare not, it's just a personal suggestion. Secretary Zhou, then let's go to the tomb of the educated youth now."

Zhou Haisheng found a villager and took them up the mountain.After turning over the Shuangta Mountain, in a quiet pine forest, the villager pointed to a slightly raised dirt bag and said, "The one lying inside is that educated youth."

The tomb was covered with weeds, surrounded by several stones, and a vertical wooden board was rotten after being baptized by wind and rain.But I can still vaguely see a line of mottled small characters: "Tomb of Lu Xinzhi." Signed: "April 1964, 4."

After a moment of silence, Shen Tong said to Zhou Haisheng beside him: "I think Director Jiang will definitely come here soon, we need to prepare some shovels and some flowers."

Facing the dead, Zhou Haisheng was also a little heavy, and nodded to Shen Tong.

Coming down from the mountain, under the guidance of fellow villagers, Shen Tong found Granny Xu who used to take care of Director Jiang.Looking at this nearly 80-year-old grandmother, Shen Tong thought of the old lady Zhang who gave him eggs when she left Qiaobei Village. Although more than a month had passed, the scene at that time was still vivid in his memory.

Shen Tong said to Zhou Haisheng: "Secretary Zhou, I think we can arrange lunch at Grandma Xu's house. Presumably Director Jiang is also a nostalgic person, otherwise he would not have visited this old place again."

After everything was arranged properly, Shen Tong looked at his watch. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. It is estimated that Director Jiang and the others are already on the way, and he said to Zhou Haisheng: "Secretary Zhou, let's return to Dongguan Town quickly and prepare to welcome Chiang Kai-shek. Director and them."

Zhou Haisheng seemed to be used to following Shen Tong's arrangements, and he nodded frequently every time he said something.

As soon as the car arrived in Dongguan Town, Zhang Liwei received a call asking about the situation here, and told him that he would arrive in Dongguan Town soon.He also told Shen Tong that there was no need for Zhou Haisheng to get out of the car to meet him, and he would lead the way when he saw the car and go straight to Qingjiang Village.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, two black off-road vehicles appeared on the rearview mirror, the one in front belonged to Wu Jiangkai, and the two behind should belong to Jiang Weisheng.The driver, Lao Chen, was very skilled in this kind of welcoming and sending. He pressed the parking light, turned on the double flashing lights, turned the steering wheel, and turned to the middle of the road.The headlights of the car behind flickered, and the driver, Lao Chen, kicked the accelerator and drove out quickly.

After arriving at Qingjiang Village, as expected by Shen Tong, Jiang Weisheng's car stopped beside the row house outside the village.Shen Tong and Zhou Haisheng quickly jumped out of the car and followed closely behind.

I saw Jiang Weisheng wearing a navy blue jacket, and the leather shoes on his feet were very dazzling.The tall man combed his hair back, with a pair of deep eyes under his fair skin, imposing, full of official authority, and his powerful aura made people daunting.

Shen Tong nodded at Zhang Liwei, followed closely behind and entered the row of rooms together.

The inside was dirty and messy, and a few rays of sunlight shot in from the dilapidated roof, just hitting Jiang Weisheng's face.Jiang Weisheng lightly touched the wall with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes.

Walking to a corner, he knelt down and looked for something.After a while, he shouted excitedly: "Jiang Kai, come quickly and take a look. These are the famous sayings I carved on the wall back then, and they are still there."

A group of people cheered and surrounded them all at once, and Zhou Haisheng tried his best to get closer to the front.Shen Tong took a closer look, and vaguely saw a few words, and read it coherently, it should be Zhuge Liang's famous saying: "Aspirations should be lofty."

Jiang Weisheng said with emotion: "I have spent 3 years here, and thinking about it now, I don't even know how I got here."
