Lunch has been prepared over there. I don’t know who went to the forest to pick up some wild mushrooms. While Li Wenwu was down there, he had killed two chickens. The wild mushrooms were stewed in it. You can smell it from a distance.
Special scent.
I used a spoon to stir the pot a few times, and then said to Li Wenwu: "Isn't this mushroom poisonous?"
He smiled and said: "No problem. Our people know these mushrooms and which varieties are not poisonous. And there is a lot of garlic in the pot. If poisonous mushrooms and garlic are cooked together, the garlic will turn black. Look at this
The garlic inside is still white, so you can rest assured."
The lunch was very sumptuous, with so many people sitting on the floor and standing around to pick up whatever they wanted to eat. The atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant. We also drank a small amount of wine.
During the meal, I asked Zhong Feng if she had ever shot a target. She smiled and shook her head, "I'm scared."
Li Wenwu said that he shot fifty rounds today, which was really enjoyable. I smiled and asked him how many rounds he had shot, and he immediately shook his head. We all laughed.
Political Commissar Liu smiled and said: "The best marksman here today is Xiao Li. Later she shot ten more bullets, all of which were ten rings, and three bullets passed through one bullet hole."
I smiled and asked, "How can we tell that those three bullets passed through one bullet hole?"
Political Commissar Liu replied: "There are traces of slight enlargement in two places of the first bullet hole, which can be easily judged."
So that's it. I thought to myself.
After eating, we were ready to go down the mountain. I asked them to take away all the garbage and clean everything on site, including backfilling the excavated stove pit.
Mr. Liu looked at me with a smile. His smile was a compliment to me.
After coming down the mountain, I went to take a car with Minister Wu because I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss with him about this project. I told him about Zhong Feng’s donation, and he smiled and said, “It turns out that Mayor Feng is making a donation today.
We have already made good arrangements."
I smiled and said: "That was her voluntary choice. And it was completely a donation, without any need for return. We also need to do some publicity in advance to absorb part of the social donations. This in itself is also a kind of support for this project.
Propaganda function. What do you think?"
He nodded, "This is necessary. Those believers today may not respect our officials, but they are very devout to the religion they believe in."
I said: "One more thing, I have to ask you to report to Secretary Chen about this project. You are the leader in charge of this area. I will only trouble you about the project establishment. This needs to be reported to the relevant provincial departments. Right?"
"
He nodded, "You have to apply to the Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee and the Buddhist Association. But this is not a big problem. After the application is successful, the Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee will also provide certain financial support. But Mayor Feng, this is not what I am most worried about now.
things, but something else.”
I asked hurriedly: "Oh? What's the main problem?"
He said: "There is a problem with Mayor Liu of your municipal government. I know him well. He has been engaged in party affairs and may have some prejudices against such projects. Moreover, he has always been pragmatic and has no regard for the project.
The operational aspects may be a bit rusty.”
I said: "This project does not require government investment, which means filing a case. How could he disagree?"
He shook his head and said: "How come there is no need for government investment? Who will pay for the construction of this road up the mountain? Doesn't the government need to make a plan immediately and then ask the transportation department to initiate the project? This road is a future tourist route and must be built to a high standard.
.This requires at least tens of millions of funds, right?”
I said: "The government will definitely not invest in such a project. There are two ways to do it. One is to plan it as a provincial road, so that the Provincial Department of Transportation can allocate funds for its construction, and future tolls will also be included in the provincial tolls.
The second is investment. Whoever invests in the future will get the benefits. But these are not important. What is important is Secretary Chen. So your report is very important."
He immediately laughed and said, "Mayor Feng, I really belong to you. You are right, but my thinking is too rigid. Don't worry about Secretary Chen, I will do his job. This project is very important to us at Shangjiang
It is of great significance to the city and does not require our financial investment, so how could he disagree?"
I immediately laughed too.
He immediately said to me: "Mayor Feng, I have a suggestion. I think it is better to ask Secretary Chen for advice on this matter before you go to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. Although Secretary Chen may completely agree to this matter,
If you take action first without his consent, I'm worried... Haha! Mayor Feng, I'm just reminding you. I understand your mood and hope to get this thing done as soon as possible.
, but some procedures still need to be done, and it doesn’t matter if the time is delayed. What do you think?"
I suddenly realized that I had once again made the same mistake as before: being too impatient. Of course his reminder was right. Although I estimated that Secretary Chen would agree with this matter, I could only do it with his agreement.
Go to the next step. Of course, today's things don't matter, after all, this is just an inspection.
I nodded and said: "Minister Wu, you are right. Thank you for your reminder. So, please report this matter to him as soon as possible. Now I am worried that today's incident will spread, and ordinary people can easily believe rumors.
Maybe they heard the news that there is some treasure in that place, and they will go up to the mountain in large numbers to dig out tomorrow. That would be troublesome. The old man is also worried about this matter. Although he asked us to send people to guard the place, but in
It is definitely unrealistic to send people there under the current circumstances, and the more you do that, the easier it is to attract others’ attention.”
He nodded, "That's right. Let's do this. I'll call him when I get back. If he's in the city, I'll report to him in person. If he's not here, I'll report to him on the phone."
I nodded.
Later, Minister Wu and I personally sent the old man home. Political Commissar Liu of the Military Division invited us to have dinner with him in the evening. I immediately refused, "I have to go home. Let's wait another day."
He didn't insist. In fact, they all knew about my family situation, so they understood me better.
I didn't ask the driver to take me off, but took Zhong Feng's car back to the provincial capital.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Zhong Feng asked me in the car.
I said: "I'd better go home and eat."
She suddenly became unhappy, "I haven't been with you for a long time, so you won't give me this chance? Don't worry, I won't force you to marry me."
I hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant. Okay, let's find a place to have dinner tonight. It can be anywhere you want."
She immediately said to me in a low voice and full of temptation: "What am I thinking, you really don't understand?"
I suddenly felt excited in my heart, and immediately said to her in a low voice and softly: "Then, let's find a place."
She drove out at the highway intersection in front of her. There was a small town in front of her. I asked her, "Where are we going?"
She shook her head, "I don't know."
I laughed immediately, but there was an inexplicable excitement in my heart. I seemed to understand that she was looking for a place suitable for the two of us to make love.
There was a road up the mountain in front of her, a bumpy dirt road. She drove her BMW up it regardless, completely ignoring the screeching sound made by the wheels being rubbed.
When we got to the mountain, we parked the car at a corner. She looked at me and smiled, "Let's go inside."
The woods seemed to have entered a paradise-like tranquility, and the heavy breathing of the two of us came and went, as if we were gradually merging into one.
We looked at each other for a while, and I kissed her gently...
After a lot of tossing, we were all sweating profusely and panting. At this time, she had already been pulled by me so that her hair was messy and her clothes were disheveled... Suddenly she heard someone talking above, this is
Which car is it? Why is there anyone here?
She and I were both shocked and hurriedly got dressed.
When she stood up, she pursed her lips and smiled, and I raised my eyebrows and smiled mischievously.
I hurried to the car and found that the person I had just asked was gone.
We smiled bitterly at each other. I said, "Go back to the provincial capital."
"Then go to the provincial capital." Immediately, there was a meaningful smile.
