The wind was very strong, and the rolled up gravel rustled against the windows. It was only six o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was gloomy and it felt like midnight. As soon as Zhao Wen returned to the dormitory behind the government courtyard, someone knocked on the door and opened the door.
Look, it's Li Guangming, the town party secretary of Shaquan Town.
With a smile on his face, Li Guangming stood in front of the door and said, "The county magistrate just got off work. Have you had dinner?"
"What, is Secretary Li inviting me to dinner? Or is he just looking to see if I've had dinner?"
Li Guangming said: "I have both, if you can, it would be my honor."
Zhao Wen looked at Li Guangming and said: "Secretary Li's words are very dialectical. Since you know that I have just come back, you must also know that I have not eaten, and the time is very precise... Where are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Before Li Guangming could say anything, Zhao Wen invited him in and said, "Secretary Li is alone? Didn't he bring someone to stand in front of him?"
Li Guangming suddenly felt a little unnatural on his face, but Zhao Wen's back was turned to him, so Li Guangming said: "I want to bring my family here, but I'm just afraid it will affect the leader's rest."
"Country people have never seen the world, and they are afraid of losing their sense of proportion..."
“The noble are the most despicable, and the humble are the noblest. It is always the vast majority of people at the bottom who create history. Although the truth is always grasped by a small number of people first, those who promote history are often belatedly aware.
, it’s not that these people don’t want to change anything, and they lack something compared to the small number of people who are prophetic, but the pressure of life makes them have no time to overthink things that are related to their own interests. Once they wake up, they must change.
At certain times, the explosion of that kind of power is devastating and subversive."
Zhao Wen asked Li Guangming to sit down and asked: "Secretary Li has been at the grassroots level for many years and he has the most say. Tell me, when have you ever seen the poorest people complain that they are tired all day long?"
"On the other hand, those who have enough to eat, but don't know what to worry about, and those who cannot find their status in life, are the ones who like to complain without any illness, and often use words like tiredness, pain, and suffering on their lips.
"
"When have you ever seen rag pickers, runaways, and beggars saying that their lives are miserable? Are they living a good life? It's just that no one will listen carefully to them. Even if they complain, they will change.
I can’t help myself with my poverty situation. So, if I have the energy left, I might as well do something practical to change my life.”
Li Guangming came to the room and looked at the furnishings, and then he took it upon himself to pour water for Zhao Wen, and then for himself. As he stood there, Zhao Wen asked him to sit down again and asked, "How about this section?"
Some time ago, Li Guangming had a disagreement with Deputy County Magistrate Li Mingyuan, who was temporarily serving in the province, and was suspended from his post by the county. Now that Li Mingyuan is gone, Li Guangming has been reinstated.
Zou Youfeng had just been shuanggui, and Li Guangming came to visit Zhao Wen at night.
Combined with the performance of Li Guangming, Shaquan Village Party Secretary Cai Fumin, and Jin Yikui when I first arrived in Dawang County, I have to say that this Li Guangming is still a relatively responsible person.
"County Magistrate, if I have to say something unpleasant, you asked me how I felt about this period, and I said that I had actually been observing you during this period... Please forgive me."
As he spoke, Li Guangming pushed up his tape-covered glasses: "I have nothing good or bad about myself. I don't have much noble sentiments. I just feel angry when I see the king lingering in the humiliating word "poverty-stricken county".
, but I feel powerless.”
"Power and obligation are always equal. But as Shaquan's secretary, I can't even handle Shaquan's own affairs well. Although objective reasons exist, people's subjective initiative plays a role at all times.
Decisive, especially in a harsh environment."
"As the saying goes, man can conquer nature. If man does not exert his ability and pioneering spirit, even if he is guarding the golden mountain, he will not live a good life. He will only suffer from hunger and poverty."
"Then what are you going to do? I think you have a lot of ideas."
"No. I have no idea at all."
Li Guangming looked at Zhao Wen and said: "I'm not here to talk nonsense with you, the county magistrate. If I can't do it, I just can't do it. My theoretical knowledge can't refute you, the county magistrate. I won't hide my shortcomings. I know that the county magistrate must have the ability and methods."
It is a kind of intuition to lead the more than 300,000 people of our country towards a better life. I will make a bet based on my life experience of more than 40 years. I am not afraid that some people will say that I am opportunistic."
"I have the courage to admit my shortcomings. I don't hide them. I don't have the ability to change the king and Shaquan, but I have the determination to charge into battle with you, the county magistrate."
"Your Majesty, there have been too many people taking temporary posts over the years, but what do they do here?"
"Yes, I managed to squeeze out two of the people from above, including Li Mingyuan. Anyway, they will leave sooner or later. There is no difference whether they leave sooner or later. If there is any difference, it is that they did not do anything for them.
A perfect ending to your own gilding action."
"A black cat or a white cat is a good cat if it catches mice. I have no intention and I am not a local snake in the king. Catching mice has nothing to do with me. But when they come to the king, they occupy the latrine and do not poop. They eat dry food."
I just feel uncomfortable watching him wipe out his good reputation and then go back to continue being their high official."
"Why do we, the king, owe you people? Isn't this a monkey trick? Poverty alleviation? The more we help, the poorer we become. It's better for us, the king, to do it ourselves. Then we will die, and we will work behind closed doors. We will only leave our shame at home.
Don’t tarnish the wise command of the province!”
Li Guangming said sorry and sighed: "Mu Kaishan was approved by you, the county magistrate, and Zou Youfeng was also punished by Shuanggui. I believe that you, the county magistrate, are different from all the people who came to the king's gilding in the past. I just hope that you
Allow me to follow you, so that I can use some of my own strength on the path of your Majesty's development in my lifetime. I don't have long-term insights, but please understand, County Magistrate Zhao, that for your Majesty, I have and can do anything.
Contribute your efforts without reservation.”
Li Guangming said excitedly, but Zhao Wen remained calm. Li Guangming took a sip of water and said: "Of course, I am also ambitious personally. I want to find a capable person to be the leader. If I become the leader in the future, I will
A rising tide lifts all boats, but if you find a fool as your leader, then the leader will keep wandering in the same place, and you will never be able to get up."
The wind noise outside became louder and louder. Zhao Wen was silent for a moment and said, "Go and do something."
As soon as Zhao Wen slowly told the story, Li Guangming's eyes widened, but then he made up his mind.
Zhao Wen said: "If you can handle this matter well, I will treat you to dinner!"
Li Guangming left, and Zhao Wen stood in the yard looking at the gloomy and gloomy night. Suddenly, he saw an unknown little flower blooming in the corner of the wall. It was swaying in the wind, withered and dry.
Stubborn. Before he could see clearly what kind of flower it was, the power suddenly went out, and his entire vision fell into darkness. Someone was cursing in the county party committee yard, cursing the people of the Electricity Bureau to death.
"Bang bang," someone knocked on the door. Zhao Wen went over and suddenly smelled a very familiar smell. He closed his eyes and opened the door. Sure enough, in the dark night, Feng Wanqing stood at the door.
Outside, the wind blew her windbreaker, and her long hair was covered in the windbreaker hat. Her eyes were like stars, and she was as charming as a flower.
