When I woke up early the next morning, I immediately felt sore all over my body and my vest felt cool. Obviously, this was the result of catching a cold last night.
I struggled to get up and immediately took a hot bath. I adjusted the water temperature to a bit high and kept washing until my body was sweating. This is a very effective way to quickly get better from a cold.
For diseases like colds, you can also treat them through exercise, but you must follow the "neck rule" - if cold symptoms appear above the neck, such as nasal congestion, itchy throat, and headache, you can do a moderate amount of jogging or brisk walking.
Or strength training; once you have fever, chest tightness, or weakness in your limbs, you should stop exercising and take a good rest. What needs to be reminded is: if you have a headache accompanied by body chills and soreness, it may be an early symptom of a fever, and you should stop exercising at this time.
.At the same time, elderly people suffering from various chronic diseases should not use exercise to treat colds.
For young people in good physical condition, taking a hot bath and washing off the sweat is also a good idea. However, the "neck rule" must still be followed.
After taking a shower, I felt that the pain all over my body was still there, so I went to find a pack of Jiuwei Qianghuo Pills and took it. For symptoms of body pain, this Chinese patent medicine is particularly effective.
My mother had made breakfast, but the child hadn't gotten up yet. I asked my mother when she would go to the cemetery, and she said she would go this afternoon. I said to her, "I should have gone, so you'd better go after you come back from your hometown."
Go ahead."
The mother shook her head and said, "I'll just take the kids there, and you can go about your business. You can go at any time when you're free from now on."
Now, I really feel how great it would be if I had a wife now, so that she could accompany her mother and children. But... alas!
I said to my mother: "Then hire a taxi. Don't save money. It's convenient and we can afford it."
The mother shook her head and said, "It's not necessary. There is a bus going there. It's very convenient."
I know that people of my mother's generation are very frugal, and this concept is difficult to change, so I won't say much.
When I went out, Xiao Sui had already parked the car and was waiting for me. I turned around and looked at the door of my house, and suddenly I felt a sense of reluctance and worry in my heart. But I knew that I really had no other choice now, so
So I had to toughen my heart and get in the car.
"Let's go to Shangjiang." I told Xiao Sui. At this time, I suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Sui, is your brother resting at home today?"
He answered me: "Yes. I heard from him that Director Shang doesn't need a car during the Spring Festival."
I immediately said to him: "Well, let's see if I can trouble him to take my mother to the cemetery today. I'll just drive my own car."
He said: "What's the matter? I'll call him immediately. Mayor Feng, you were so kind to him before, so he has no obligation to do such a thing."
He immediately called his brother, and then said to me: "He said he would drive a car licensed by the province, but the car was empty anyway. You are an old leader there, so there is nothing wrong with using the car, right?"
I shook my head and said, "Just use my car, that's not good."
Immediately I returned home and said to my mother: "My driver will come and drive my car to take you to the cemetery in a while. This will make me feel at ease."
The mother said: "You kid, why are you bothering others when you are celebrating the New Year?"
I said: "He is my former driver and the younger brother of my current driver. It doesn't matter. We have agreed that he will come over in the afternoon. I left the car keys at home."
Mother sighed and said, "Okay. So that you don't have to worry about us when you go to work."
This made me feel a little more comfortable.
According to the division of labor, during the day today I went to visit the workers who are still working on the front line on behalf of the municipal party committee and government, and Secretary Rong went to visit the police, armed police officers and soldiers.
In fact, this was a show of condolences, and people from the city TV station were following the whole process.
They talked about the same thing everywhere I went, but what interested me the most was paying careful attention to the progress of the project. Halfway through, I received a call from the director of the Veteran Bureau, and he asked me to attend the retirement event that was about to take place.
The opening ceremony of the cadres football match.
He said to me on the phone: "Mayor Feng, those retired comrades very much hope that you can participate in their event. They also want to chat with you and make some suggestions on the work of the government. There is no way, I am also affected by it.
They entrusted it."
I looked at the time, and I had already been tempted, because I thought this was a rare opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with an old comrade. So I asked him where he was.
He told me that it was right next to the square in the city center.
I quickly finished my condolences to the workers on the project in front of me, and then immediately rushed to the place he told me.
When I got there, the director of the veteran bureau greeted me warmly, and some retired veteran cadres in sportswear also greeted me warmly. It was obvious that they were very happy to have my arrival.
The place in front of me was an open space without hardening. This was the first time I heard about the sport of croquet, so I asked about the project.
A retired comrade told me that croquet is an outdoor ball game played on flat ground or lawn, using a mallet to hit the ball through an iron gate. It is also called croquet. Croquet takes up less space and saves money.
It is very safe, the technology is simple, the game time is short, and the amount of exercise is not large. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to do physical exercises.
The director of the old bureau asked me to kick off the ball, which completed the opening ceremony. I looked at the situation on the field and still didn't understand how to play this sport.
The old comrade who just introduced me to this sport gave me a demonstration: turn your back to the wicket, spread your legs, and then use a mallet to knock the ball into the wicket. He also briefly told me
Action essentials.
I thought it was quite fun, so I immediately went there to kick off the ball. The TV station people used a camera to film me at close range. I followed the action instructions described by the old comrade just now, and gently hit the ball with a mallet.
, the ball went straight towards the door, and passed through the middle of the door.
The people around applauded enthusiastically.
I was thinking: This sport does not seem to have much technical content, and the amount of exercise is not large. It seems that it is really only suitable for the elderly.
Their competition officially started, but I didn't have much interest in this activity, and immediately started chatting with some old comrades.
They were very polite to me, and there was a kind of flattery in their politeness. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. I knew very well that what they respected was actually my position. The respect for officials is something that many of us have in our hearts.
Things. Including myself, for example, when I am in front of Secretary Fang, I can't help but show a kind of awe for him in my heart. In fact, I also know in my heart that my kind of awe is more
It's for his job.
Now I understand that this veteran bureau chief completely deceived me, because it is impossible for these veteran comrades to take the initiative to give me any opinions. However, this veteran bureau chief understands my inner thoughts relatively well.
, he knows what I need most.
I said to them: "I feel very honored to be able to participate in this activity of your old comrades today. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time.
And I very much hope to hear more opinions on our work from all old comrades. You have worked in Shangjiang City all your life and have made important contributions to the construction and development of our Shangjiang City.
And you can see more clearly the problems we currently have.
I think we have one purpose that is completely consistent, that is, we all hope to build our Shangjiang City better. Therefore, I hope to hear your opinions on our work, which will be beneficial to our next step.
Please improve the work. Please."
Having said this, I bowed my hands to them. (To be continued)
