"Why don't you ask for leave when you go out?" Cai Jiaquan asked sternly.
Shen Tong sneered and said, "I didn't know who to ask for leave, so I talked to Li Maoshan."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Tong had already suppressed his anger, so he said confidently: "Isn't it true? As a public recruitment cadre, I have filed a record with the organizational personnel department, and I came to Shihe Town after following reasonable and legal procedures. Although I have no abilities, why did you send me to Qiaobei Village for no reason? I would like to ask, is there still a place for me in Shihe Town? If so, when can I come back? If not, you asked me to plan How long will you stay in the village?"
Facing Shen Tong's sudden attack, Cai Jiaquan was caught off guard. He didn't expect that a young boy who had just been born could have such courage to contradict him. At this time, Cai Jiaquan's face was purple with anger, but his expression was still calm and composed.
Cai Jiaquan did not reply in time because he was trying to control his emotions. He picked up the water glass again, took a sip, and said: "Your current job is based on the situation at that time. As a Baocun cadre, you , don’t you have the obligation to help the victims rebuild their homes? Besides, your station in Qiaobei Village was decided through the joint meeting of the party and government, and it is not my opinion alone. As for your saying that there is no place for you in the town, it is completely nonsense. Yu Qiaobei Village has heavy tasks and tight time. I was afraid that you would delay the work in Qiaobei Village because of the work in the town, so I made temporary arrangements. When you say this, do you have a problem with me? "
Shen Tongcai didn't believe Cai Jiaquan's lies and didn't listen to his explanation, so he said, "Secretary Cai, I don't have any objections to you personally. It's probably you who have objections to me."
Cai Jiaquan raised his hand, scraped his nose with his finger, then took two breaths, moved his chair forward, and said, "Shen Tong, do you know the consequences of talking to me like this?" Cai Jiaquan was obviously a little angry. .
When Shen Tong came, he had already thought about it. At worst, he would still be stationed in Qiaobei Village, so he said: "Secretary Cai, maybe what I said just now was a bit harsh, but I am a young man with ideals, and I need to thrive under your care. Although you may not be able to achieve great things in the future, you should at least not have any regrets." Shen Tong felt deeply saddened by Cai Jiaquan's unyielding behavior, but after all, he was still his own leader. If he tolerated even three points, the sky would be brighter for him.
Cai Jiaquan was about to have an attack, but when he heard that Shen Tong's tone was a little soft, he taught him: "Shen Tong, the countryside is also a vast world. You can shed your blood, dedicate your youth, contribute your strength, and let your rivers flow. You are leaping in the water and galloping in the fertile fields, but don’t forget that since the organization has handed you over to me, I will be responsible for you, give full play to your advantages and tap your potential. Is there anything wrong with being stationed in the village? At least for me. In the future, you have accumulated experience, enriched your experience, tempered your will, and developed your abilities. If you feel that you have matured, I will give you the position of office director, will you be qualified? Shen Tong, grassroots work is not easy, in all aspects We must all take care of it. If everyone complains, how can we carry out this work? Therefore, you must put the overall situation first and resolutely obey the decisions of the town party committee and government. It will be good for you and me."
Cai Jiaquan was worthy of being a cadre who had been working for a lifetime. He started ideological work one after another, went in a big circle, and finally let Shen Tong stay in the village. It seemed that Cai Jiaquan still hated his son, and Shen Tong knew what to say. There was no hope, so he stood there silently.
After a while, Cai Jiaquan spoke again, "I still have to punish you for going out without asking for leave yesterday. Otherwise, how can I lead a town of 20,000 people? Let's do this. You go back and write a check and hand it in tomorrow. office."
Speaking of this, Shen Tong could only accept it, so he left Cai Jiaquan's office without saying a word. Shen Tong felt increasingly uncertain about his future. He even thought about accepting Lan Yue's help and escaping from this place as soon as possible. It’s a hell of a place, but it’s suitable for me.
Shen Tong originally wanted to go back to his dormitory, but Cai Jiaquan's words hurt him deeply, and he walked out of the town government without looking back.
Shen Tong didn't know how to get back to Qiaobei Village. When he went back, he bought three bottles of liquor and asked him to drink with him when he arrived at Li Maoshan's house. It happened that the child went to his grandma's house during the holiday, so Li Maoshan's wife Tian Xiulan fired a few bottles of liquor. To prepare a meal, Li Maoshan rolled up the bedding on the kang, put the small table on the floor on the kang, and started chatting with Shen Tong.
Li Maoshan is not very old, but he has stayed in the village for a long time. From the outside, he looks like a person in his late 40s, and his reaction is a bit sluggish. Time makes people grow old, and this sentence is more applicable to most people, but in those who were born here and grew up here, For the villagers in Qiaobei, the geographical location is remote and new things cannot come in. It takes less than a minute to walk from the east end to the west end. They face only those few people every day, and the topic they talk about every day is nothing more than the harvest in the fields. Whose mother-in-law has a big butt, but as time goes by, people get tired, and they talk less. There seems to be no difference between women and men. Even when women sit around, they talk about their men’s skills in bed, down to every detail. Very clear.
In this environment, human beings have once again moved towards ignorance, the kind of ignorance that is unforgettable. After Shen Tong came to Qiaobei Village, she had a clear feeling. From one to eight o'clock in the evening, the village was already dark, and there was a dead silence. Lying in bed, even It's a bit scary. If you go out for a walk, nine out of ten families will be having sex on the kang. The sound of women's howls and the slapping sounds of skin friction and collision. It seems that apart from doing this, you can't find any "entertainment". project.
Li Maoshan went to the provincial capital last time, and things were obviously different after he came back. Seeing the colorful world outside, he suddenly felt a yearning for the metropolis. He talked about it at the wine table.
Shen Tong was in a very unhappy mood today. Firstly, he was indignant at the unfairness of his fate. Secondly, he was deeply disgusted with Cai Jiaquan's ugly face. Before the food was served, he drank a glass of white wine.
Seeing this, Li Maoshan felt a little panicked. Although he usually likes to drink two cups, half a pound is not a problem, but seeing Shen Tong risking his life to drink, he still murmured in his heart. He took a look and raised his hand The cup is dry.
After drinking a glass, Shen Tong felt five flavors rolling in his stomach. The hot liquor passed through his throat, esophagus, and straight into his stomach, and he almost vomited it out. Tian Xiulan, who was cooking, saw this and hurriedly poured a glass of boiled water and handed it over. .
Shen Tong drank a glass of water and felt a little better, but his face, which was white just now, suddenly turned red. Shen Tong burped and said to Li Maoshan: "Brother Li, you said you want to go out?"
Li Maoshan didn't look at Shen Tong. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip alone. He tilted his head and sighed: "Hey, I can't go out. There are four mouths in the house. Those are not easy to worry about. How about I go out and take care of things?" Work, make some money, and the family will soon be in trouble. This village chief should not be a bad person. He can’t make a penny, and he is wasting his time."
