Lao Xuan is a bamboo craftsman in An County. Before the ancient street was built, Lao Xuan was an unknown craftsman. His workshop was on the verge of bankruptcy. He was also addicted to alcohol, upset and angry. He also fell out with his family members and lived alone.
In a workshop beside the road in Sanfeng Town, he spent his days getting drunk.
It was completely by chance that Lao Xuan saw the news that Lushui Village would take two weeks to build an ancient street that day. He was used to drinking and eating peanuts while watching various news before going to bed. He didn't expect to see it.
The news that Xiao Zheng was interviewed said that it would take two weeks to build the ancient street and keep the filming location of "Hidden Dragon and Sword Rain" in An County!
Lao Xuan had an idea at that time. Unless he used his bamboo craftsmanship, it would be impossible to do this thing! He jumped at it, but he was worried about how the officials in the town and county would believe him? After many years
Later, the decline of the bamboo products industry made Lao Xuan gradually feel discouraged. When faced with opportunities, he told himself that this was impossible!
People have failed too much, and it is difficult to believe that there is such a thing as success. So that night, Lao Xuan poured the last sip of wine down her throat, lay down on the bed, and planned to sleep with her head covered.
Normally, he only needs one drink to sleep until midnight the next day, but that night he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Maybe this is really an opportunity! Maybe this is the only opportunity in this life. If he doesn't seize it, he may not be able to fall asleep.
For the rest of my life, I will never think about being a salted fish.
Lao Xuan was unwilling to live in such poverty for the rest of his life! So he got up from his bed and started making calls using his crappy old cell phone.
Although Lao Xuan was down and out, at least he opened a workshop by the road and made money when he was young. He called the business associates with whom he had eaten and drank before, as well as relatives and friends, trying to find Anxian.
The young deputy county chief, Xiao Zheng, couldn't get a phone number after calling around.
When he was frustrated, he suddenly thought of a distant relative named Xin Asi, who was said to work in Tianhuang Town. He called again and finally asked for Xin Asi's phone number, so he called Xin Asi.
I went over and asked for Sha Hai's phone number from Xin Ansi. Only then did Sha Hai tell Xiao Zheng the situation.
Xiao Zheng, An Ruyi, and Gan Songyun were discussing the construction of the ancient street in the conference room of Anxian International Hotel. Gan Songyun said that it was impossible to complete the construction of the ancient street within two weeks using ordinary construction methods, unless traditional "bamboo buildings" were used.
"Building Method", but this craft has almost been lost, and it is impossible to find a designer who is proficient in bamboo architecture in a short period of time.
Just when Xiao Zheng, An Ruyi and Gan Songyun were all in trouble, Lao Xuan came to his door. As soon as he heard that there was such a master of bamboo crafts, Xiao Zheng immediately sent Xiao Zhong and Sha Hai to pick up Lao Xuan.
Lao Xuan arrived, and as soon as he talked about his ideas, Chief Engineer Gan Songyun stepped forward and held Lao Xuan's hands: "Lao Xuan, you must be the inheritor of bamboo crafts and bamboo culture! You are the living fossil of the 'Bamboo House' craft!
"
After hearing what Gan Songyun said, Xiao Zheng was sure that Lao Xuan was really capable. He immediately treated him with courtesy and asked his subordinates to arrange late night snacks and fine wine. At the same time, he arranged a room at the Anxian International Hotel for Lao Xuan to stay.
Lao Xuan did not expect that he would meet such a knowledgeable senior engineer like Gan Songyun. At the same time, Xiao Zheng, the young deputy county magistrate of An County, treated him with great courtesy. The key was that he was given wine and food. Although it was already midnight, Lao Xuan was
It had been a long time since he had seen so many delicious foods. He ate them as if in a dream.
Xiao Zheng saw that this old Xuan was a skilled and talented craftsman, but now he was down and out, and he didn't get what he deserved. Xiao Zheng had been down and out before, and he knew what it felt like. So, down and out
Xiao Zheng tried his best to satisfy the needs of those who urgently needed them, such as good food, good drinks and good housing. The most important thing was respect.
Xiao Zheng also drank with Lao Xuan and respectfully called Lao Xuan "Mr.
Lao Xuanjia has been dealing with bamboo products for generations, and has been engaged in this industry for dozens of generations. Lao Xuan said that his ancestors once built the Moon Tower for the imperial palace in the Tang Dynasty, which was entirely made of bamboo. In the Song Dynasty, their ancestors
His bamboo craftsmanship is also well-known, and he is responsible for the exquisite bamboo utensils in the palace. The Mongolians even learned that one of his ancestors was taken captive by the Mongolian Tatars to Shangjing and built a palace made entirely of bamboo for them, called the "Bamboo Capital".
"Palace", which is recorded in Marco Polo's travels.
Lao Xuan is a treasure trove of all the glorious histories of families engaged in the bamboo industry. Xiao Zheng doesn't know, how much of this is true and how much of it is bragging. But when Lao Xuan and Gan Songyun discussed the design plan for the "ancient street", Lao Xuan
Gan Songyun couldn't help but nod his head when he expressed his thoughts, which showed that Lao Xuan really had the goods. Xiao Zheng was more than relieved.
Gan Songyunhe, the designer of Anhai Hotel, gave a lot of suggestions on the appearance design of this ancient street. However, Lao Xuan’s opinions were mainly given on a series of issues such as the structure, stress, anti-corrosion, etc. of the ancient bamboo street.
.In this way, within two weeks, the "ancient street" that could not be built was built.
Looking back on those days, Xiao Zheng still found it thrilling. Without the sudden appearance of Lao Xuan, a "folk master", Anxian County would not have been able to build the now famous "Bamboo Tower Ancient Street" within two weeks.
"of.
There are a lot of coincidences in this. But Xiao Zheng now concludes that he did the right thing. That is, he believes that "the masters are among the people", so when he was interviewed by the news media, he said
Now that I have spoken out, I hope that all sectors of society, enterprises and civil servants can participate.
His words not only allowed Anhai Group to actively participate, but also allowed traditional craftsmen like Lao Xuan to find a place to use them. Our party has always believed that the people are the creators of history, and believes that our cause can only rely on
There is no difficulty that the people cannot overcome, and there is no cause that cannot be achieved. Now, Xiao Zheng has further understood the connotation of this sentence.
The ideas and theories that a leading cadre masters at first are likely to be abstract, but only after practicing them in concrete practical operations can he have a deeper understanding.
Because of this, Xiao Zheng wanted to pay a visit to this old Xuan. He couldn't just burn bridges and ignore him just because he had helped the government.
The time has been set for tomorrow morning. Xiao Zheng thought that Lao Xuan likes to drink, so he asked Xiao Zhong to prepare some wine and cigarettes in advance, as well as some snacks that can help with drinking and put them in the car as a souvenir tomorrow.
That night, Sha Hai went to drink with the kids in the town again. Most of his friends were from Tianhuang Town, where they grew up playing games. These people were either doing business or giving money to others.
To work part-time, they either open a foot-washing shop in the county seat, or some go to Ke County in Shao City to do chemical fiber business, etc. They have a few small coins on hand and can drink some wine.
Among this group of people, Shahai had the best grades when he was in school. He attended a publicly funded technical secondary school and was assigned to a township after graduation. Originally, Shahai also had a bright future. But after Shahai went to work in the township, his progress stopped.
Mai Hao, until now he is still an ordinary cadre. Because he is in a depressed mood, Sha Hai usually prefers to hang out and drink with this group of people.
After drinking too much, Sha Hai couldn't help but confide his thoughts. He raised his glass and said: "Brothers and sisters, I, Sha Hai, am standing at a fork in the road today. I really don't know what to do next.
Let's go, please help me." Those who drank too much shouted: "Speak quickly, what's the point?" Everyone urged.
Sha Hai poured a cup of white wine into his mouth and said, "Don't you know? I am currently seconded to the county as an assistant to the deputy county chief. Today the deputy county chief asked me if I would like to stay.
I will work in the county office and work with him as a secretary in the future. The work will be very hard, but it should have a better future. You can also go back to the town, where the work will be very easy, but the future is hard to say. Please help me give me an idea, what should I choose?
What?"
A friend said: "It goes without saying, of course I will stay and work in the county and become a leader in the future."
"You know nothing!" A big guy stood up next to him. This man's name was Liu Bin. He was in the chemical fiber business in Ke County and was now a small boss. "You know what? Who is the deputy county chief? He is from Lushui Village.
Xiao Zheng! This man came to the town government later than our Sha Hai, and is younger than Sha Hai. Now he is the deputy county chief, and let Sha Hai be his secretary. He works hard all day long. Do you think he wants to support Sha Hai?
Well? He wants Shahai to look good! Do you understand?"
The little friend from before was scolded and muttered: "Is there such a thing? I don't know. If this is the case, we, Shahai, cannot bear this injustice."
Others said: "Is our Shahai worse than that Xiao Zheng? Why should someone be a leader and our Shahai carry his bag?" Someone else said: "Do you think it's as simple as carrying a bag? Being a secretary sounds very prestigious.
There are many people who have been trained like dogs by their leaders behind their backs!" "Then we, Shahai, must not be like that. When we go back to town, we often drink and sing, okay?" "Yes, Shahai, you are like this now that you are seconded.
I’m busy, I’ve become a secretary, I can’t find you even if I want to drink with you! Why bother, your life has only been a few decades, and you are already this age, what are you trying to do by abusing yourself?”
Those opinions were almost one-sided. They all felt that it was not worthwhile for Sha Hai to work as a secretary for someone younger than him. He would lose face, dignity and time. In the end, some people even said that living like that would be meaningless.
Sha Hai's mind was also a little messed up. Coupled with the alcoholism, he also felt that being Xiao Zheng's secretary was not worth it. What is the purpose of life, isn't it just to be carefree?
Sha Hai's eyes wandered aimlessly in the box, and he saw a beautiful woman looking at him. Her name was Xia Zhiqiu. She used to have very good grades in junior high school, but her parents were short-sighted and did not allow her to continue studying. Now she can only
Clothing is sold in a shopping mall in the county town.
Xia Zhiqiu was the only one on the table who didn't say that Sha Hai was not worthy of being a secretary.
