This is the case in our country's officialdom. As secretaries to leaders, they have more opportunities for promotion than ordinary people. So I don't think this is a big deal.
Just now, when Xiao Xu said something like that, Xiao Sui immediately asked: "Mayor Feng, I know a little about the Wanmin Umbrella, but why did the old man keep your shoes?"
Of course I can't answer this question.
Xiao Xu said with a smile: "The Wanmin Umbrella is given to officials by local people when they leave office. Umbrellas are a tool to protect them from wind and rain. It shows a kind of protection. People can live longer under the protection of their parents and officials.
Okay, so the Wanmin Umbrella is actually a symbol of gratitude.
In addition to the umbrella of the people, there are also boots of legacy, which is another special way for people to express their respect for their beloved officials. When an official with high expectations is about to leave after his term of office, the people will choose a local official
A respectable representative goes to visit the official, compliments him, and then the people formally request him to leave a pair of boots for the city. Such a request is a very high honor and is never refused. Then, the boots will be
It was hung on the archway of the city in an unusually grand manner, experiencing wind and rain until it rotted away.
It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a good official named Cui Rong. He did many good things when he was the governor of Huazhou. So when he left office, the people were reluctant to let him go. They stopped him on the road and broke his reins.
Lost his official boots. Taking off his official boots later became a ritual when officials left office. When an official left office, the gentry and people blocked the way, so the lord stretched out his feet and took off his official boots. Wherever he got the boots, the gentry and people took them again.
Put it in a "boot box", paint it and nail it to the city gate for people to admire and visit."
Xiao Sui sighed: "Mayor Feng, I feel very honored to be able to drive for you and serve you."
I waved my hand to him and said, "Don't talk about it, you all. I feel very ashamed. Our people are so kind. In fact, I just did what I should do. I didn't expect them... ugh! I'm so ashamed."
After returning home, I still felt deeply for a long time.
Later that afternoon, I received a call from Chenchen. She smiled and said to me: "Smile, you are famous. I didn't expect you to be so popular with the people."
I suddenly felt uneasy in my heart, "What did you say?"
She smiled and said to me: "The common people gave you the Wanmin Umbrella, and it was posted on the Internet. Didn't you see it yourself?"
I said: "I went home directly from Shangjiang City, and then I hid at home and read a book. I didn't go online to read it."
She asked me: "You mean, that Wanmin Umbrella is now in your house?"
I smiled and said, "Yes. This is the people's affection for me, and I want to keep it well."
She kept laughing, "Did you really just go home without wearing shoes?"
I said: "Yes. It shocked my mother. Later I explained to her and she was also moved. My mother said to me: I always thought you were busy before and thought you didn't need to be so serious. Now look
I was wrong. As a mother, I am very happy that my son can be respected by the people."
Chenchen whispered: "I'm very happy too."
I was suddenly moved again. In recent days, I found myself living in a state of being moved. I said: "Chenchen, come to my house for dinner today. Maybe I will go to a new place soon."
I don’t know how busy I will be next.”
She said: "Yes. I'll be over right away."
Then, I turned on my computer, and sure enough, I found on our local forum in Shangjiang City that the scene of people seeing me off when I left Shangjiang City today was posted. Looking at the photos, I seemed to be back to today.
When I left the scene, my heart was filled with excitement.
However, I immediately saw a lot of doubts and even criticisms in the comments below. Some people said: Such a young mayor must be a second-generation official. Others were saying: It must have been arranged by one of his own people.
It's a kind of welcome ceremony, and it looks like it's just a show. And so on.
But later, many locals in Shangjiang City began to criticize me. They praised me like Jiao Yulu.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading it, but at the same time I was very moved: Such comments are actually no longer important, because I myself know what happened, and the people of Shangjiang City know what happened.
Now I feel something more deeply: you will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. This is not a kind of fate, but a kind of cause and effect.
Chenchen came, and the first thing she did when she arrived was to ask me to take out the Wanmin Umbrella to show her. I was a little embarrassed. After looking at it, she smiled and said, "Why is this thing so ugly?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then she suddenly realized that what she said was inappropriate, and said hurriedly: "I don't mean anything else. Don't mind."
Of course I wouldn't mind, but I suddenly had a faint worry in my heart: There is a big difference in age and experience between us. We can really live a smooth and peaceful life like other couples in the future.
?
Two days later, I received a notice from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and they informed me to report to Dongjiang City that afternoon.
"Minister Lin, Minister Kang personally sent you to take office." The official from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee who called me told me.
My heart was immediately touched because I didn’t expect Lin Yu to be able to forgive me for everything that night. But then I started to worry again: What if she didn’t forgive, but fought for it again?
I feel that I know Lin Yu fairly well. Judging from her consistent personality, she will not give up on anything easily. She was born in a poor family, and it is not a blessing to be able to get to where she is today. In addition to her intelligence and ability,
, in addition to being good at utilizing various factors that are beneficial to oneself, the most fundamental thing is tenacity.
Not only for her own affairs, but also for Governor Huang's affairs in the past, she has been persistent. It can be said that for Governor Huang, many things were carried out under the instigation of Lin Yu, and
Several of them almost caused trouble. Now, Governor Huang is about to be transferred from our Jiangnan Province, which may make Lin Yu feel very disappointed.
I fully understand in my heart that for Lin Yu, the closest people to her in our Jiangnan Province are Governor Huang and me. So now, she will not give up on me casually.
What I was thinking in my heart was that of course I wanted to continue to have a sister-sister relationship with her, but the relationship between a man and a woman must be completely severed.
But, is she willing to do what I want? I’m not sure at all about this. (To be continued)
