The packaging of the gift was very beautiful, but I couldn't help but open it and take a look.
Then I turned around and heard her whispering behind me: "Thank you..."
I turned around and smiled at her, then went to the living room.
When I drove out of the garage, I found Li Qian standing outside the villa. She was looking in my direction. I stopped the car and asked her, "Is something wrong?"
She was startled for a moment, then shook her head, "It's okay."
I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking she was a little strange. Then I drove out of the community.
The person who came to open the door for me was Udonmei. She had not changed much, she still looked so beautiful and simple. There was a kind of surprise in her eyes when she looked at me. She probably did not expect that I would come today. In other words, Governor Huang did not
I didn't tell her I was coming tonight.
I still felt a little embarrassed, so I immediately asked her: "Is Governor Huang here?"
Only then did she seem to react, "Yes. Please come in quickly." Then she took the thing from my hand.
After entering, I found Governor Huang sitting on the sofa watching TV with a newspaper in his hand. He was wearing reading glasses. At this time, he looked more like an old professor than an executive deputy mayor.
. On weekdays, when he is in public places, he always wears a white shirt, black trousers, and does not wear glasses. He is either chatting and laughing, or has a serious expression, always giving people the image of an official. In winter, he likes to wear a jacket,
But underneath he was still wearing a white shirt. He walked smoothly and freely, showing a sense of confidence in every move he made.
But now, in front of me, he is wearing a set of pajamas, his hair is not so neat, and his official aura is suddenly gone.
"Xiao Feng, come on, come and sit down. What did you bring me again?" He greeted me warmly, then put down the newspaper and took off his glasses.
I replied respectfully: "It is a specialty of our Shangjiang City. But these specialties are not food, but inkstones, writing brushes and handmade rice paper. I remember that you seem to like calligraphy, so I brought you a set."
He suddenly said happily: "Dongmei, take it over quickly and open it to take a look."
Wu Dongmei immediately put the things on the coffee table. Governor Huang tore off the wrapping paper on the gift box in a few seconds, and then opened the two boxes inside one by one. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: If I had known better, I wouldn't have to be so careful.
Glued back.
He picked up the brush, touched the tip of the brush with his finger, and immediately exclaimed: "Good stuff. This is real wolf hair."
I asked: "Is it made of wolf hair? We don't have such an animal in Shangjiang City, do we?"
He suddenly laughed, "Langhao is a brush made of weasel tail hair. There are always weasels in the mountains of Shangjiang City, right? This thing is very precious and rare."
I was immediately interested and fell in love with him. So I immediately asked: "Then, which animal's hair makes the best brush?"
He smiled and replied: "I'll know you are an amateur as soon as I hear it. The material selection of the brush is based on the use. High-end brushes use the same material with more precision. According to the use, the brush hair is generally divided into purple hair and purple hair.
There are several types of brushes, including water brushes, wolf brushes, sheep brushes, large pens and paint brushes. The so-called sheep brushes are made of goat hair and are popular products. Among them, the old sheep brushes have been stored for many years, and the fat has dried, making them easy to ink; the old sheep brushes are somewhat rigid;
Sheep hair is fine, with a transparent tip; it removes impurities from sheep hair, and is soft in nature. Purple hair is made from the black tips on the back of mountain rabbits, and its hair is relatively stiff, so it is suitable for writing. There is also wolf hair. As I said just now,
This is made of weasel tail hair, which is slightly less rigid than rabbit hair. In addition, there are rat whisker pens, chicken hao pens, pig bristle pens, and jianhao. Rat whisker pens are made of house mouse sideburns, and the pen is pure.
Smooth and sharp, the written characters are soft and strong. The chicken hair pen is made of chicken breast feathers, which is quite soft and difficult for beginners to master calligraphy, so it is not suitable to use. Pig bristle pen: made of steamed pig bristles.
Used for writing large plaques. Jianhao is made by blending different animal hairs in different proportions. It can be hard and soft when writing. For example, it is made of purple hair and sheep hair. The more purple hair, the harder it is, and vice versa. So when purchasing
It depends on the requirements of the calligrapher. Take He Lianqing, the imperial brush used by the Chinese royal family, as an example. Its soft sheep hair 'Shenyou Tiandi' and hard purple hair 'Iron Painting Yingou' are considered to be the best among brushes. The Huying purple hair used to make the brush tip is completely
Collected from Jiangnan specialty Hu sheep and Jiangnan stone old rabbit, choose one from ten thousand, choose the best from the best, more precious than red gold, every bit rare..."
I immediately clicked my tongue, "It's so complicated."[
He smiled and continued: "Because everyone has different preferences and styles, everyone has different opinions on what kind of hair is more suitable for their own skills. Generally speaking, there are hard and soft rules. In other words, you have to
The more varied the calligraphy required, such as lines, generally it is better to use hard brushstrokes, while the calligraphy of Ruxue pays attention to the momentum and rendering. For example, in the Wei stele, softer brushstrokes are better. In addition, before the Middle Ages, calligraphers mainly used hard brushstrokes.
After the Tang and Song Dynasties, both soft and soft brush strokes entered the mainstream. Among all kinds of brush strokes, rat whiskers are the hardest, followed by wolf brush strokes, and rabbit brush strokes. These are all hard brush strokes, while chicken brush strokes and sheep brush strokes are the hardest.
It belongs to the soft type. Hard type has good character, but is sharp and sharp. It is not suitable for writing subtle fonts. Soft type has poor character, but has moistness. Whether it is good or not depends on the style of writing you want to write and the habits of the calligrapher.
For example, for the same Monument of Zhang Menglong, later generations advocated using long-edged sheep hair, while others advocated using hard hair. The writing style was very different. In addition, there was also combined hair, which used hard hair as the core and soft hair as an external supplement.
The intention is to take the best of both worlds.”
I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't quite understand. Governor Huang, what kind of style do you belong to? If you feel that this brush is not suitable, I will find a new one for you."
He shook his head and said: "I haven't learned calligraphy yet. This wolf hair is just right. It's just suitable for people like me."
I said with some embarrassment: "You are too modest."
He immediately said seriously: "Calligraphy is like martial arts, there is no best, only better. Calligraphy is an art that reflects life, and people's inner emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy can also be expressed in calligraphy, just like poetry and music."
The knowledge here is so profound... Well, let me take a look at this inkstone."
Then he took out the inkstone from the box and put on his glasses to look at it carefully, "Well, this thing is good. It is much more precious than the brush just now. This is an inkstone made of coal gangue. Judging from the knife skills,
, this thing should have a history of nearly a hundred years. The inkstone made of coal gangue is not considered to be the best, after all, the material is a bit inferior. But this thing is already very rare. The appreciation of the inkstone is more complicated. Nowadays, the brushes used by the Legalists
There are almost none outside, so this thing is mainly used for collection. Except for people who like calligraphy. It is rare that there are such good things in Shangjiang City. "
I smiled and said, "I'm still worried. Isn't this thing made of coal gangue? It's black, what kind of specialty is it? Haha! When you say it like this, I'm no longer afraid."
He laughed, and then touched the rice paper underneath, "This thing is pretty ordinary. Rice paper was originally produced in Jingxian County, Anhui Province. This place originally belonged to Ningguo Prefecture. The paper production was named after Xuancheng, which was governed by the prefecture, so it was called 'Xuan Paper'
.is a paper used for writing and painting in ancient China. Rice paper originated in the Tang Dynasty and has been used throughout the generations. According to folklore, in the first year of Jianguang Emperor An of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the death of Cai Lun, the papermaker of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his disciple Kong Dan started making paper in southern Anhui.
, I really wanted to make the best paper in the world and edit the portrait of my master to express my memory. But it was difficult to do so year after year. One day, Kong Dan accidentally saw an ancient green sandalwood tree falling by the stream.
Due to being exposed to the sun all year round and washed with water, the bark has rotted and turned white, revealing strands of slender and clean fibers. Kong Dan used them to make paper. After repeated experiments, he finally created a paper with excellent texture, which became the famous rice paper.
.There is a type of rice paper called 'Four Chi Dan', which is to commemorate Kong Dan and has been passed down to this day. Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, once personally supervised the production of Chengxintang paper. This is a treasure among rice papers. It is said that it has a good skin effect.
Like an egg membrane, as hard and clean as jade, thin and smooth, the crown of the moment. Rice paper has the characteristics of tough and moisturizing, smooth but not slippery, white and dense, pure texture, easy to break when rubbed, strong ink wetting ability, etc., and has unique characteristics.
It has excellent penetration and lubrication properties. You can write with both strength and spirit, and draw with spirit. It has become the calligraphy and painting paper that best embodies the Chinese artistic style. In addition, it is resistant to aging and does not discolor. It has less insect infestation and a long life, so it is "the best among papers".
Wang, the reputation of "Thousand-year-old Paper". The artificial rice paper in Shangjiang City is obviously a bit rough. The so-called artificial production is just a gimmick. In the future, you in Shangjiang City can make this paper
If you do some work on it and improve the craftsmanship, maybe this will also be a good special economic project for your Shangjiang City in the future."
I nodded and said, "I will tell them about it when I get back. Let them study this matter carefully."
While we were talking, Udon Mei had already made me a cup of tea. This must be good tea, because I had already smelled its refreshing fragrance.
Later she sat not far from us and listened to our conversation.
Governor Huang was very talkative today, and I felt that what he said was not just for me to listen to. It seems that he really likes Udon plums, so he took this opportunity today to show off his profound knowledge. Of course,
Maybe I'm just imagining things.
Then Governor Huang said to me: "Xiao Feng, thank you. I will accept these things from you. You also know that I generally do not accept things from subordinates and businessmen, but you are an exception...
..Dongmei, put your things away, and then go by yourself while I discuss something with Mayor Feng."
Udonmei agreed and went. From the corner of my eyes, I watched her go upstairs to the villa and then disappear. Soon I heard a small door closing sound from above.
"Governor Huang, I am here to invite you today on the entrustment of Secretary Chen of our municipal party committee. Secretary Chen would like to invite you to have dinner with us on the weekend. I wonder if you are free?" I said to him immediately.
He shook his head and said: "Your Secretary Chen...haha! He is really good at finding ways to find a way, and he actually found me. Forget it, his meal is not delicious. After all, I am only Governor Wang's
Deputy, he should explain it to his boss if he has anything."
I hurriedly said: "Governor Huang, I know your concerns very well. But Secretary Chen wants to report to you. The reform of state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City is now facing some problems that need to be solved in advance. The standing president of the Provincial Construction Bank has just
We came to our Shangjiang City for an investigation, and we talked about the problem of bad debts and bad debt stripping of our enterprises. You are the executive deputy mayor, in charge of finance, so we have to report such things to you. I will be with you on the weekend
He was not the only one having dinner, but also me. I think if you want to avoid talking about such things, then call the presidents of several banks, or contact the deputy secretary-general of finance at the provincial government office.
This will make it clear when the time comes.”
He nodded, "That's a good idea. Xiao Feng, you have made great progress now. Tell me, how has your situation been since you arrived in Shangjiang City? What are your main tasks as the executive deputy mayor currently?"
I smiled and said: "In your eyes, I, the executive deputy mayor, am just a piece of cake, so my work is not worth mentioning. But Governor Huang, do you still remember what I once told you about
Are you going to rectify the small treasury affairs of various departments below? My next step now is to do an experiment in our Shangjiang City, and prepare to carry out financial management using two lines of income and expenditure. In fact, I used to use this kind of management model in my office
I had already tried this when I was the director of the hospital, and the effect was very good. Not only can it save the operating costs of the administrative agency, but it can also eliminate waste as much as possible."
He suddenly said with interest: "Oh? Please tell me in detail and I will listen."
Then I told her my thoughts, and it was best for me to say: "I have asked the Municipal Finance Bureau to report this matter, and both Mayor Liu and Secretary Chen are more supportive. After all, our Shangjiang City's finances are very tight.
Difficulty, this method can not only make our financial management scientific, but also reduce administrative operating costs. To be honest, according to the current system, we cannot control the expenditure problem of three public consumption, so we can only manage it
Think of more ways."
He said thoughtfully: "Your method is very good, but it can only be implemented at the county and city level. In fact, I have also thought about this matter after you told me about it last time, but the situation in the province is different.
, because each department has too much funds and the sources of funds are relatively complex, the provincial fiscal law completely regulates them all. All we can do is to rectify the small treasury of each department below. Although this is a temporary solution
There is no way to cure the root cause, but there is no solution. Think about it, if your city health bureau wants to apply for a fund from the provincial health department, it will eventually have to come to me to sign. That is not going to tire me out.
?But Xiao Feng, your method is very suitable for implementation at the county and city levels. In this way, you can test it first, and after you have improved the various management systems, your experience can be spread to the entire province.
Xiao Feng, your greatest advantage is that you like to use your brain, and I appreciate this very much."
His praise made me feel a little embarrassed, and then he said: "We will implement it as soon as possible, and I will report to you then. Governor Huang, look at what happened over the weekend..."
He answered me: "I'll get back to you tomorrow. I'll think about it again. You, Secretary Chen, are simply posing a difficult problem for me. I must support your work, because the reform issue in Shangjiang City is a provincial issue."
The Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee decided to proceed immediately after studying the matter. If I don’t support it, I may give people an excuse in the future. But after all, he is the former secretary of Governor Wang. This time, your Shangjiang City matter has involved so many people.
People, those people are more or less related to the leaders of the province. Especially the secretary of Governor Wang was involved. This matter made Governor Wang a little embarrassed. The things here are very subtle.
Let me think about it again."
I said: "Governor Huang, I heard that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee has confirmed our matter in Shangjiang City this time. I know it's not easy to deal with you being caught in the middle, but I was thinking, after all, Secretary Chen also worked for Governor Wang before.
For those who have been secretaries, from an emotional point of view, the relationship between Secretary Chen and Governor Wang is not necessarily worse than that between Secretary Luo and Governor Wang. What Secretary Chen needs most now is more support from leaders.
From my personal point of view, I think there is nothing wrong with what Secretary Chen did. After all, Secretary Luo has a problem. Since Governor Wang has stated that he can handle it as he should, if you and Secretary Chen only talk about work
It’s nothing.”
But he shook his head and said: "If only things were so simple. Xiao Feng, you should know that the leader's face is sometimes more important than anything else. Although I am in charge of the bank's affairs, you, Secretary Chen, can do this.
You could go to Governor Wang directly, or you could come to my office directly. But why didn’t he do that? There is only one reason, and that is that Governor Wang was very angry about the loophole he revealed, so he
Refuse to see him. He didn't come to me, which also shows that he doesn't know what my attitude is and is worried about being rejected by me. If I reject him and come to see me, he will be even more embarrassed and lose face. He is the municipal party committee secretary
, puts personal prestige in the local area more important than anything else. Of course, he must do this if he wants to carry out the next step of work. This time he got rid of the three mayors of your place at once, and his purpose was not
Don’t want to have any obstacles or noise in your future work? The reform in Shangjiang City is very difficult. In such a situation, it is necessary for only one person’s voice to appear. Wasn’t this the same when our country first started reforming?
?If Comrade Xiaoping hadn't stood up to all the opinions and proposed not to discuss the issue of social or capitalist surnames, would our country be in such a good situation today? The reason is the same. But now I must consider Wang
Regarding the governor’s attitude, after all, I am his deputy. Therefore, I want to explore Governor Wang’s thoughts and attitude tomorrow. Xiao Feng, it is difficult to be the deputy. You should have personal experience now. "
His words were very sincere and made sense. I couldn't help but nod my head, "Well, Governor Huang, I won't disturb your rest. I'll go back first."
But he immediately stopped me and said to me in a low voice: "Xiao Feng, you are my most trusted subordinate. I know you are very tight-lipped. So I want to ask you to help me with something."
His words immediately made me feel flattered, and at the same time I also knew that what he wanted me to do must be very important. I hurriedly said: "If you have anything, just ask me directly, and I will definitely do it for you."
of."
His voice became even softer, "Originally I said I would call you, but it happened that you said you wanted to see me. Now that's it, I'll ask you to help me handle this matter. That's it, Xiao Wu is pregnant.
Yes. You should find time to take her to have the surgery tomorrow. You should know the importance of this matter, and I have never doubted your intelligence, so I won’t say more."
My heart suddenly tightened, and I felt scared at the same time. I knew very well that I knew that such a thing was not a good thing for me, but since he said it, I had to solve it for him.
.And I also vaguely knew what he was thinking: I guess he didn’t want me to know about it at first, but I happened to call today and said I wanted to see him, so he decided to let me do it. Maybe
It was when he suddenly realized something: there is no one else more suitable than me to handle this matter.
I thought for a while and said: "Governor Huang, I am single at the moment, so I will take her directly to the hospital tomorrow. If others ask, I will say she is my current girlfriend."
He smiled and said, "This is best."
I suddenly felt that this was not good, "Well, let's go tonight. Just go to the Provincial Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital."
He nodded, "Well, this is best. There are many people in the hospital during the day, and it will be troublesome if you meet someone from this community."
I also nodded.
In fact, there is one of the simplest ways to do such a thing, and that is to take medication to have an abortion. But I did not dare to say it, because if Governor Huang knew that there was such a simple way, he would feel that there was no need for him to tell me this.
That may bring me some trouble. The Kangdemao incident happened not long ago, and from that incident I saw the most affectionate side of the leader, so I will not cause any trouble for myself.
That's where trouble comes.
Fortunately, Governor Huang didn't know much about this matter, so he didn't know about such a method. However, the way of taking drugs may also be dangerous, because the drugs may not necessarily lead to a clean abortion, and may cause heavy bleeding. Therefore.
I immediately rejected that approach in my mind.
I then said: "Governor Huang, I will drive out in a moment and then wait for her at the door of the department store on the next street. It would not be good for me to take her out directly from you. What do you think?"
He said: "You have thought very carefully."
I immediately stood up and said goodbye to him. He did not stay with me again.
After leaving his house, I felt very uncomfortable and complicated. No one can understand such inner feelings.
In the past, when Udon Mei and I were together, every time we had sex, I would either have sex outside her body, or I would have her wash off immediately after sex, and she would also have to take birth control pills. I am a gynecologist.
Obstetricians know how much harm miscarriage can cause to women after pregnancy.
But now, she can't escape such harm. When I drove out in the car, I felt sad and uncomfortable all the way.
I drove the car slowly out of this community full of power. After being inspected by the armed police, I left the outside gate. Just now, when I came out, I found that the lights inside were a little dim. I guess it was the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Committee
The government office deliberately arranged this. After all, the leaders live here. Too bright lights will expose some things to the light. In that case, the leaders will be very embarrassed.
As for Governor Huang, I don’t think I can comment on anything. He has such preferences, so that doesn’t mean he is a bad person. Because he is a human being first and foremost.
I have the same problem as him in this regard, so I understand him from the bottom of my heart.
But I still felt very uncomfortable because I couldn't bear the thought that Udonmei's body was about to undergo such torture. This may be a habitual mentality brought about by my previous career. But that mentality still remains in my heart.
.
I drove slowly down a street and stopped in front of the department store. The department store was closed at this time, and there was no one here. However, occasionally people would pass by, but their steps were in a hurry.
, suddenly I saw a pair of lovers leaning on each other, walking towards my car from a distance. The two people were completely immersed in a kind of sweetness, and they were walking on the street as if they were no one else. Soon
, they walked in. I also saw clearly that the man was shorter, but the girl was about the same height as him, and looked very ordinary. The two of them walked slowly and affectionately past my car.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Even girls with ordinary looks can enjoy the sweetness of love, but today's Udonmei cannot.
I sat on the bridge and waited quietly. In this still sweltering night, I did not turn on the air conditioner. Instead, I let the sweat come out of my forehead, then slowly entered my neck, and then disappeared into my own body.
In short-sleeved shirt.
I felt like I had been waiting for a long, long time. Later, I finally saw Udon Mei's figure in the rearview mirror. She was not far from the back door of my car, walking towards me alone.
Her figure in the rearview mirror looks a little deformed...
I pressed the horn, and then I saw her running a few steps in the rearview mirror. Soon she came to the passenger seat, opened the door and sat in.
"Why are you so careless?" I asked her immediately.
She blushed, "He refused to wear a condom every time, saying it was uncomfortable. And every time he ejaculated inside me, he would hold me and make love for a while before going to bed. Then I would twist it to warm it up.
I used a towel to wipe his body. Last time I happened to be ovulating, and he drank a little too much that day. As a result, after the work was done, he hugged me and talked for a long time."
I asked her: "Then why didn't you remind him? You are a medical student, so you should remind him? You should know that this will cause great harm to the body."
She said in a low voice: "I dare not... Although he is kind to me, he is also very harsh to me sometimes. You and Minister Lin both told me that you want me to completely obey him. So I
..."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "Well, let's go and get rid of the child now. Are you ready?"
She glanced at me, her eyes full of pity and sadness. My heart suddenly felt a sting at this moment.
She nodded slightly, "Yeah."
The author's digression:
