After bidding farewell to the row house, Jiang Weisheng came to the village surrounded by everyone. He shook hands with every fellow villager he saw. He even called out a few people of similar age. He held the fellow villager's hand and sat around. Under a big locust tree at the end of the village, we started doing household chores.
Jiang Weisheng was the protagonist today, and Wu Jiangkai accompanied him throughout the whole process, also smiling and nodding. Zhang Liwei couldn't sit still, so he stood up, walked aside, and asked about lunch again.
After learning about Shen Tong's careful arrangements, Zhang Liwei was very satisfied. What he didn't expect was that his worries were completely unfounded. Although Shen Tong had never experienced such a big scene, he actually arranged it in an orderly manner and could still think of Yi. It seemed that he was right about the idea of Ku Si Tian. He patted Shen Tong on the shoulder and said, "Do it well."
These few words are the greatest affirmation for Shen Tong.
After Jiang Weisheng asked about the life of the fellow villagers, he naturally recalled his scene in the village. As he chatted, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing that the dignified provincial officials would also be moved by the scene, Shen Tong was also affected, and his eyes moistened unconsciously. .
As if what Shen Tong thought, Jiang Weisheng indeed proposed to visit his old friends who stayed in Qingjiang. Shen Tong and Zhou Haisheng hurriedly opened the way ahead. After going up the mountain, several fellow villagers were already waiting there with shovels. Shen Tong started from a A fellow villager took the wild flowers that had just been picked and handed them to Jiang Weisheng and Wu Jiangkai.
Seeing Shen Tong's careful arrangements, Wu Jiangkai was also very satisfied, but did not show any expression. Jiang Weisheng took the shovel from the fellow villager's hand, shoveled some soil to cover the tomb, cleared away the surrounding weeds, and stood After a minute of silence, he placed the flowers in his hands in front of the tomb.
Through the solemn look on his face, Shen Tong felt that Jiang Weisheng seemed to have endless words and endless feelings. Those unforgettable years had been with him for most of his life, and perhaps he would never have the chance to come back again.
After coming down the mountain, under the leadership of Zhou Haisheng, Jiang Weisheng walked into Grandma Xu's house. Grandma Xu saw that Jiang Weisheng was already middle-aged, tears dropped from her eyes, and she held Jiang Weisheng's hand tightly with both hands, reminiscing together. The past events of that year.
Shen Tong had no intention of listening to Grandma Xu's story. Following Zhou Haisheng, Han Lefei was busy preparing lunch. Han Lefei summoned several women in the village to cook. When the women heard that there was money to be made, they were happy to work hard in Shu. Only a few people were seen. I was picking pheasant feathers and boiling fish with Qingjiang water, and the rich fragrance hit my nostrils.
In less than a while, braised pheasant meat, steamed Qingjiang fish, stir-fried ground vegetables with eggs, stir-fried vermicelli with golden needles... more than a dozen authentic hometown dishes were served on the table. Jiang Weisheng drooled as he looked at the dishes on the table and tasted them. After a few bites, he clapped his hands happily and shouted like a child that it was delicious.
Jiang Weisheng was satisfied, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since Shen Tong was not qualified to eat with Jiang Weisheng, they sat around on the stone bench in the yard and ate.
Zhou Haisheng held the bowl, moved his huge body to Shen Tong, and said gratefully: "Brother Shen, thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been embarrassed. It's amazing to say, Director Jiang's schedule today is Just like your director, Zhou really feels inferior."
In fact, we can't blame Zhou Haisheng for not thinking carefully. The transportation in Dongguan Town is not convenient. Even the leaders of the county rarely go to the town to go to the countryside unless there is an emergency, let alone a department-level official like Jiang Weisheng.
In less than 3 hours of contact with Zhou Haisheng, Shen Tong went from being disgusted at the beginning to being friendly now, especially with a smile on his face, which makes people feel more cordial. Zhou Haisheng was able to put down his body and call the young section member Shen Tong brothers. , Looking at the leading cadres in the county, there is no orthodox leader who is so close to the people. Of course, the power behind Shen Tong's death cannot be ruled out.
Shen Tong smiled and said: "Secretary Zhou, you're welcome. I'm just an errand boy. It's not your responsibility to handle the specific matters. If you hadn't arranged it well and handled it properly, even ten more Shen Tongs wouldn't be able to do it. OK."
Zhou Haisheng smiled naively and said: "That's right, that's right." He put a piece of chicken into his mouth, and when he chewed it, his facial muscles were all moving, and he took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.
After a while, Han Lefei happily ran over with another bowl of Qingjiang fish, put it in front of Shen Tong and said, "Brother Shen, eat it quickly. This fish is very fresh. I guarantee you will want to eat it again after eating it." , put a piece of meat into Shen Tong's bowl, and put another piece into Zhou Haisheng's bowl.
Through subtle actions, Shen Tong could see that the party and government leaders in Dongguan Town got along relatively harmoniously, which was not easy. However, Han Lefei was also relatively young and had to rely on Zhou Haisheng to handle many things. However, this kind of harmony Guanxi is a blessing to Dongguan Town.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Liwei came out with a blushing face. Shen Tong put down the bowl and stood up and ran over. Before Zhang Liwei could speak, Shen Tong spoke first: "Director Zhang, I asked Secretary Zhou to prepare 3 pheasants for Director Jiang. 5 A Qingjiang fish and some mountain products."
In fact, Zhang Liwei came out just for this matter. I didn't expect Shen Tong to think so carefully. He said calmly: "After a while, you put your things in the car."
The sun at noon was still quite fierce, so Shen Tong and the others hid under the eaves and chatted, never leaving the room where Jiang Weisheng ate for a moment. Villagers, women, old and young, surrounded the third and third floors of Grandma Xu’s house, and some of them carried Wan Wan stood at the door and watched. What's more, he didn't bother to go home for dinner and asked his mother-in-law to bring the meal to the scene.
After a long time, Jiang Weisheng came out patting his belly. He was very satisfied with the trip from his facial expression. When Jiang Weisheng was shooting at the crowd, his eyes met with Shen Tong's, then he was startled for a moment and nodded slightly.
Jiang Weisheng asked Wu Jiangkai: "Who is the parent officer of Dongguan Town?"
Hearing Jiang Weisheng ask him, Zhou Haisheng rushed to Jiang Weisheng's side with a speed that even Shen Tong was surprised.
Zhou Haisheng put on a smile and said coyly: "Director Jiang, my name is Zhou Haisheng, and I am the party secretary of Dongguan Town."
Jiang Weisheng stretched out his hand and shook it roughly, and said seriously: "Dongguan Town has not changed much in the past few decades. You parents and officials still need to pay more attention and give full play to your subjective initiative. If there are no conditions to create conditions, try every means to develop the economy and do everything possible to For the welfare of the people.”
Jiang Weisheng looked at Zhou Haisheng who felt uncomfortable, and felt that his tone was a bit harsh, and then said: "Of course, the conditions are much better than when we were here, the roads are open, and the people can also watch TV, which fully shows that you are also persevering. Continuously pursue development.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Weisheng pointed to the Qingjiang River: "It is a pity to leave such a good tourism resource undeveloped. Well, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."
Zhou Haisheng's face turned red and white, and he hurriedly agreed: "What Director Jiang said is that under the strong leadership of Secretary Wu, I will break the inherent thinking, innovate the work model, solve the funding problem, and improve the tourism in Dongguan Town."
stand up."
Zhou Haisheng's answer was very clever. He not only expressed his own point of view, but also pointed out the biggest difficulty at present. At the same time, he tied Wu Jiangkai together. This way of speaking is more dangerous. To put it nicely, it is flattering the leader. To put it bluntly,
No, it's just trying to manipulate the leader. Fortunately, Wu Jiangkai is relatively open-minded and doesn't care.
