Dongguan Town is famous for the Qingjiang River, and the source of the Qingjiang River is in Qingjiang Village. Driving deeper, you will see the autumn scenery. The poplar trees on both sides of the road stretched out their lazy bodies, shaking off their golden leaves. , pieces drifted in the wind towards the gorgeous blue waters of the Qingjiang River. The pine trees around the valley were still green and tall, and a beautiful autumn scene appeared in front of Shen Tong.
Although Shen Tong is from Dongquan County, he has never been to such a beautiful and pleasant place. It is simply a paradise on earth. Without the noise of the city, there is only tranquility. Shen Tong could not help but roll down the car window and close the door. He raised his eyes and stretched out his head to breathe in the fresh air, as if the fragrance of autumn was flowing between his lips and teeth.
There is a temple on the mountain in the distance, which looks like an old man from history. He is holding Qingjiang River in his left hand and caressing the Shuangta Mountain with his right hand. He is quietly watching the people in Qingjiang who leave early and return home in the evening. The autumn sky, autumn weeds, autumn jungles, and autumn streams , the color of autumn, the breath of autumn. In the misty misty rain, the lone boat with a bit of Zen is wandering among the dark green mountains and beautiful waters, and there is endless tranquility and leisure in the brows.
Shen Tong turned around and asked: "Secretary Zhou, why is such a beautiful scenery not developed? If a resort is built here, I think many people will come here to admire it."
Zhou Haisheng moved his fat body and said with a wry smile: "Brother Shen, you don't know something. Why don't I, Zhou, want to develop Qingjiang River? The county supports it every year and has included it in Dongquan County's Ninth Five-Year Plan. But Due to the lack of funds, no matter how beautiful the scenery or the best ideas are, they are useless.”
Shen Tong felt sorry for it, but there was nothing he could do. He said a few words of comfort and then turned the topic to Jiang Weisheng, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Finance.
Speaking of Jiang Weisheng, Zhou Haisheng changed his face again, and said slightly excitedly: "When it comes to celebrities who came out of Dongquan, Director Jiang is not the most famous person, but he is one of the few. Although he is not Dongquan Although he is a native of the county, we have always regarded him as a native of our hometown over the years."
"I heard from the old people in the village that when they were jumping in the queue, Director Jiang and his team came and assigned seven or eight people to Dongguan Commune. The director of the Revolutionary Committee at the time arranged for them to be placed in an abandoned factory outside Qingjiang Village. Director Jiang They had no complaints and worked together with the farmers of the Qingjiang Brigade. But with so many mouths coming at once, there was not enough food soon."
"In order to fill their stomachs, Director Jiang and others later climbed over Shuangta Mountain and went to the other side of the mountain to pick wild fruits and dig wild vegetables. Once, an educated youth accidentally fell down a ravine and was buried here forever."
"Later on, Director Jiang was admitted to university and returned to his hometown, and other educated youths also returned to the city one after another. Only the dead educated youth was left with Shuangtashan to keep company with Qingjianghe."
After listening to this touching story, Shen Tong's thoughts went back to that simple era. Although he had not experienced those bloody years, he could personally experience the educated youths spreading the golden color of youth in the vast fields. years.
The car was driving fast, and Shen Tong leaned against the car window, using his heart to touch this fertile land for the soul with dreams. When he was approaching Qingjiang Village, a row of abandoned houses had no doors and windows, leaving only ruins. Zhou Haisheng was excited. He sat up and pointed to the house and said: "Brother Shen, look, this is where Director Jiang lived."
Shen Tong turned around and said: "Secretary Zhou, you will arrange for someone to clear the weeds around the house later. I think Director Jiang will definitely visit the place where he once fought."
Zhou Haisheng thought about it carefully and said, "What Shen Tong said is that I will arrange for someone to get it soon."
Shen Tong asked again: "Where is the grave of the dead educated youth?"
Zhou Haisheng was a little confused, raised his hand and pointed: "It's not far, on the mountain behind the village."
"Okay, I'll go take a look later. I think Director Jiang will also pay a visit to an old friend." Shen Tong said solemnly.
Zhou Haisheng once again looked at Shen Tong in front of him with admiration. He didn't expect this young man to be so thoughtful. Why didn't I think of that?
"By the way, Director Zhang specifically told me that Director Jiang might have lunch here. I wonder if Secretary Zhou has prepared it?" Shen Tong added.
"Ah?" Zhou Haisheng opened his mouth wide, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and shook his head.
Shen Tong said: "Oh, then you will find a slightly larger house in the village, and we will arrange meals in the village."
"Okay, okay, after getting off the bus, I will follow Brother Shen's arrangements." Zhou Haisheng seemed a little anxious and replied quickly.
When the car entered the village, the villagers who were doing sanitation stopped to watch. To them, outsiders were as curious as rare animals, let alone a rare car.
At this time, a young and capable young man ran over. He had the same reaction as Zhou Haisheng and hurriedly opened the door. Zhou Haisheng fiddled with his fat body and got out of the car with great difficulty. He grabbed the surprised man and introduced: "Shen Tong, Brother Shen, from the county party committee, was sent by Secretary Wu to guide the work."
Then he said to Shen Tong: "Han Lefei, the mayor of Dongguan Town, is a college student like you, and both are young and promising reserve cadres."
Han Lefei came over and shook hands with Shen Tong. He seemed a little excited and almost fell down. He said with a smile: "Brother Shen, this is the first time we meet, please give me some advice."
Han Lefei was not very old, he was only 30 at most, which surprised Shen Tong. He said to himself: "It is not easy to become the mayor of a full-level mayor at such a young age." He retorted: "Mayor Han, I am a nobody. , don’t give me advice, I’m here to run errands for you, if you need anything, Mayor Han still needs instructions.”
Without waiting for Han Lefei to reply, Zhou Haisheng hurriedly said to Han Lefei: "Mayor Han, please quickly take a few people to clear the weeds at the house outside the village." After saying that, he looked into the village again and said: "Why are you here alone? Where are the other leaders?"
Han Lefei smiled bitterly and pointed to a house in the distance: "Everyone is drinking tea there."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haisheng was a little angry and walked inside with a stomp. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said to Han Lefei: "You don't have to go, let them go, and you rebelled against them. What a bastard."
Looking at Zhou Haisheng's retreating figure, Han Lefei and Shen Tong frowned and spread their hands, feeling helpless.
Through several small incidents after coming to Dongguan Town, Shen Tong intuitively felt that the leading cadres of the agency did not seem to be afraid of Zhou Haisheng, but rather opposed him.
After a while, two men and one woman followed Zhou Haisheng out. Zhou Haisheng walked behind angrily with his hands behind his back.
