There are eleven townships in Dawang County. Zhao Wen originally started work with the mentality of investigating and excluding the towns of Siping, Tuwa and Shaquan, but when he arrived at Wulong Township, he almost lost his temper.
"The desert is so desolate and the birds don't fly. The dreams of thousands of moraines are still lazy. I walk through the desert day and night. The clouds are overcast, the moon is dark, the wind is bad, and the sand is bad."
This poem by Cen Shen of the Tang Dynasty vividly describes the scenery of Dawang County. Zhao Wen's immunity has been strengthened recently because he has seen too much desolation, because there is actually not much difference between these towns.
Wulong Township is just like other brother towns. The most prosperous area in the township is one street. The buildings on the street are no more than two stories. You can still see mottled "Proletarian Culture ***" on the gray buildings.
I will fight to the end..." something like this.
There were no people on the street. A few skinny black and yellow dogs were wandering around on the street. When they saw a stranger, they bared their teeth and looked like they were about to bite. But once they walked in, they
But he whimpered and ran away with his tail between his legs.
But there is a very conspicuous building on one side of the street. It is made of white tiles and reflects dazzling light in the sun. Judging from the situation, it looks like a public toilet.
When Zhao Wen arrived in the village, it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no one in the village. Zhao Wen was followed by Zhang Yimin and Luo Huijuan from the office. Zhang Yimin knocked on several office doors, but there was no one inside.
Luo Huijuan was the woman who told the county government printing office that Zhao Wen was not married yet and that other girls still had a chance, but Hu Jiaojie glared at her.
Luo Huijuan has always felt regret and fear for her inappropriate words and deeds that day, but following Zhao Wen in the past few days, she has not seen him make any face to her, and Hu Jiaojie has not talked to her for so long, so she gradually feels at ease.
Luo Huijuan arrived at the secretary's office of the township chief on the second floor. The mayor's door was open and there was no one inside. Luo Huijuan took the phone on the table and dialed the number of Wulong Township Chief Zhou Xuejing, but the phone was open and no one answered.
.
Because it was an investigation, Zhao Wen did not notify the people in the village in advance before coming to Wulong. Luo Huijuan came out and said to Zhang Yimin: "Evaporated from the world?"
Zhang Yimin was in his thirties. He said softly: "The door is open. The person must not have gone far."
Zhao Wen arrived upstairs, entered Zhou Xuejing's office, looked at the furnishings, and stopped in front of the desk. He looked at several photos pressed under the glass on the table.
The contents of these photos are basically photos of Zhou Xuejing and County Magistrate Mai Zhenghao. Zhou Xuejing is a bit fat. His smile in the photos is brighter than the sun.
Zhao Wen looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's go have dinner too."
There is a restaurant at one end of the street outside the township government. As soon as the three of them entered, they heard the sound of drinking and guessing coming from upstairs. The two brothers were shouting happily. Luo Huijuan was surprised and said at that time: "Why does it sound like Mayor Zhou?"
sound?"
Zhao and Wen ate something casually for about twenty minutes. No one entered the small restaurant again, and they returned to the township government.
At this moment, a person finally walked out of the office building, hiccupping as he walked. His outer clothes were unbuttoned, and his round belly pushed his shirt up, as if he was pregnant in ten months.
This man shouted from afar: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Wen answered first: "Looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for? This is not the police station," the man said while hiccupping: "Go, go, look for people, it is not our business to look for people..."
Zhao Wen saw the fat man's face flushed and knew that he had been drinking, so he asked: "Who are you?"
The fat man glared: "Who do you care I am? What do you three do?"
Zhao Wen didn't answer, but the man became more energetic: "Are you talking to me? Deaf man?"
Luo Huijuan couldn't help it anymore and said, "This is County Magistrate Zhao of the county. Who are you?"
The fat man looked at Zhao Wen and Luo Huijuan suspiciously, then at Zhang Yimin, and suddenly laughed and said, "This is the least funny joke I have heard today."
"Who are you bluffing? Are you lying to me? I know County Magistrate Zhao Haiquan. Did he take the rejuvenating pill?"
"These days, anyone dares to pretend to be someone. Do you know where is the place opposite the township government? It's the police station."
"Do you know why the police station is opposite the township government?"
"Let me tell you, little girl, the police station is located next to the government just to protect the safety and convenience of the government. Let's see if I catch you later..."
Zhao Wen turned back to Zhang Yimin and said, "The white one outside is really a toilet?"
Zhang Yimin nodded.
Zhao Wen said: "Why is such a toilet built in such a township?"
At this time, the fat man interjected: "What do you know! Haven't you heard that today's cities are more European than Europe, but the countryside is becoming more and more like Africa..."
Zhang Yimin and Luo Huijuan looked at each other and thought that this person must be a staff member of Wulong Township, but why did he talk like this?
When the man saw Zhao Wen and was silent, he started to talk and said, "Didn't you say you were looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Who are you?"
Zhao Wen asked: "Who are you?"
"I, I am the director of the Sewage Treatment Office of the Hydrological Monitoring Station in Wulong Township, Dawang County."
"Then what should I call you?"
"My surname is Geng."
Zhao Wen nodded, turned around and left, saying, "Let's go directly to the village."
Zhao Wen wanted to leave, but Director Geng refused to let him go. He felt that it was shameful for Zhao Wen to leave him here after asking him questions, so he shouted: "Stop! Where are you liars from? Stop!"
Luo Huijuan couldn't help but look back and said: "Crazy."
Director Geng drank, his whole body was very excited, and his ears were particularly good, so he scolded: "You little bitch, who are you scolding!"
He said he was going to catch Luo Huijuan, but Luo Huijuan screamed and jumped away.
Zhang Yimin shouted: "What are you doing! Presumptuous!"
At this moment, several people came outside the gate. The first one was Zhou Xuejing. When he saw Zhang Yimin, he put a smile on his face. When he saw Geng Fenglin about to beat Luo Huijuan, he hurriedly shouted: "Crazy Geng! You do it
I stop!"
Zhou Xuejing was indeed drunk. He stopped Geng Fenglin's movements and quickly walked to Zhang Yimin. Then he saw Zhao Wen clearly. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Wen's hand and said, "Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, I'm late.
…”
Zhao Wen shook hands with him and saw that Zhou Xuejing's face was shiny and there were still some green vegetable leaves in his teeth when he spoke, so he asked: "What time is it?"
Zhou Xuejing looked at his watch and said, "It's a quarter past three in the afternoon."
Zhao Wen nodded and asked, "When was the toilet outside built?"
Zhou Xuejing replied: "Last year, the leaders of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office came to the township to inspect the work. At that time, a female comrade said that the sanitation work in our township was not done well and there was not even a public toilet. So, our township..."
Zhao Wen looked at the people behind Zhou Xuejing who were smelling of alcohol and asked: "Are these all from the countryside?"
Zhou Xuejing said yes and was going to introduce it to Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen said, "Thank you for your hard work."
At this time, I don’t know if he drank too much or something, but a tall and slender man said in a drunken state with his eyes squinted: "No, no, it’s not hard work. We would like to be a team player for the party. We will play at Nantou for a while.
Kick Beitou..."
Zhou Xuejing immediately became dumbfounded, and Zhao Wen walked out of the township government with Zhang Yimin and Luo Huijuan without saying anything.
Geng Fenglin had been sweating for a long time. Zhou Xuejing hurriedly followed Zhao Wen out. Outside the gate, Zhao Wen's cell phone rang. After the call was answered, it was Hu Jiaojie's voice, asking where Zhao Wen was and that the county was going to hold a standing committee meeting.
Meeting, please go back to Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen hung up the phone, shook hands with Zhou Xuejing, who looked uneasy, and said, "Everyone, please get busy, there is something going on in the county, that's all."
Zhao and Wen got into the car, and the car started. The dust behind the car rose very high, leaving Zhou Xuejing and a bunch of people from Wulong Township standing there, looking gray and gray.
The Standing Committee meeting was to be held the next day. It was already evening when we arrived in the county. Zhao Wen washed his face and was about to rest when he heard someone knocking on the door. He went over and saw Mu Kaishan standing outside the door with a smile on his face.
(Everything seems to be squeezed together at the end of the year...) (To be continued...)
