Chapter 524
Xu Yishan suddenly felt more relaxed than ever before.
After the county party committee documents were issued, Xu Yishan completely lost his right to speak.
As Duan Yanhua said, the county would rather support him than let him cause trouble and ruin the whole pot of soup in Maoshan County.
What is infuriating is that none of the Standing Committee members spoke up to defend Xu Yishan. This surprised Chen Yong who was attending the meeting. Even though he wanted to defend him, he was worried about being accused of being a nepotist.
.
Maoshan County is like a big airtight net, Xu Yishan is tightly held at the bottom of the net and cannot move.
The old Dong called and asked him to go to the old street courtyard to relax.
Xu Yishan happily agreed, and together with Lao Dong, went to the courtyard of Laojie to ask for a meeting with his aunt.
When the old man saw Xu Yishan and the others coming, he looked extremely happy and was planning to prepare some snacks for them.
Xu Yishan was not polite and asked his aunt to bring out her treasured sweet-scented osmanthus brew. He was going crazy thinking about drinking it.
Aunt Wu's grandmother smiled and asked her granddaughter Du Juan to get some wine.
Osmanthus brew is made from ice and snow water, and is usually not exposed to sunlight. Instead, it is hidden in an underground storage room that is rarely visited by outsiders.
Du Juan asked Xu Yishan to go to the cellar with him to get wine. Xu Yishan did not refuse and followed her there.
The basement is more vividly called a cellar. It is a small place about five meters deep.
There is a wooden door at the cellar door, at least five inches thick.
It is slowly opened under the push of external force.
As soon as he stepped in, Xu Yishan felt cold all over his body.
The open hair tubes on the body suddenly tightened, feeling extremely comfortable.
Du Juan walked in front and said proudly: "Our family never buys a refrigerator. We keep things here and they never get broken."
Xu Yishan repeatedly said yes, praising that this cellar is as good as a fairyland on earth.
Dujuan curled her lips and said: "Hypocrisy, isn't the temperature here lower than outside? Why talk about a fairyland on earth?"
Xu Yishan was originally embarrassed, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of the smiling Du Juan, and he couldn't help but sigh, "With you, wouldn't it be a paradise on earth?"
Dujuan didn't dare to reply, hurriedly picked up a jar of wine, turned around and walked out.
Xu Yishan found that her face reached the base of her neck, and couldn't help but regret it. Would his words just now be considered inappropriate by Du Juan?
Walking to the door, Du Juan handed the wine jar to Xu Yishan, then went to lock the door and asked casually: "I heard that your position has been dismissed?"
Xu Yishan smiled bitterly and said: "It's not withdrawn, it's suspended. We will make a decision after the investigation results come out."
"Is it different?" Du Juan smiled slightly and said, "No one among us wants to be an official. Because being an official will have many restrictions, and everything must be inspected by the common people under the sun."
Xu Yishan said: "The systems are different, but the purpose is the same."
"Is it the same?" Du Juan looked at him in surprise and said, "I feel that becoming an official here is the pinnacle moment of one's life, and it is a great thing to honor one's ancestors. Moreover, your official position seems to be unrestricted."
Xu Yishan was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he explained: "We also have very strict disciplines and regulations. What you see is a very small part of the existence. I believe that this phenomenon will also happen in your place."
Dujuan pursed her lips and smiled and stopped defending.
When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped and said: "Xu Yishan, it's a pity that you are no longer an official. I want to ask you for a favor and I can no longer do it."
Xu Yishan is a warm-hearted person, thinking that after drinking other people's sweet-scented osmanthus brew, how can he not help others?
So he tentatively asked: "Miss Dujuan, what do you want me to do for you?"
Dujuan's tears fell down and she whispered: "My grandma's last wish has not been fulfilled yet. Moreover, our family has no idea where my grandpa's body is now."
The last time he came, Xu Yishan heard about Grandma Du Juan's last wish. She wanted to return the bones to the Wu family's ancestral grave all the way.
He didn't pay much attention at that time, thinking that under the current circumstances, bringing a person's remains back from overseas shouldn't be a big deal.
The ideological field has become somewhat loosened in recent years, unlike before, where it was as fearful as a flood.
"You don't need to be an official to do this." Xu Yishan said cheerfully: "Let's do this. I will prepare a report for you and apply to the county for Ye Luo to return to his roots. There should be no problem."
Du Juan smiled but did not answer, and suddenly whispered: "Even if my grandma comes back, where is my grandpa? Can you help me find my grandpa's remains?"
Xu Yishan was stunned. This task was really heavy. In the vast world, he knew nothing about Grandpa Du Juan. Where could he find his remains?
Seeing that he didn't speak, a look of disappointment appeared on Du Juan's face.
Xu Yishan said: "Don't worry, you have to tell me that you also served in that army and where you died. With these clues, it will be much easier to handle."
Du Juan shook his head and said, "If I knew this, would I still bother you?"
While talking, the two returned to the small hall.
Aunt Wu's grandmother had already lit up the sandalwood. The cigarette smoke curled up to the roof. The room was filled with a strong scent of sandalwood.
Although Aunt Wu is very old, she does not look old at all.
Xu Yishan stared at her, and suddenly his heart moved. He felt that the Aunt Wu in front of him was almost the same as the old monk Wu Xiu of Wu Xiu Temple. They were exactly the same mold.
The entrance to the sweet-scented osmanthus wine is like an icy straight line, penetrating into the depths of the soul.
Old Dong said: "Only when I come to my aunt's place, I feel refreshed and have nothing to do with the troubled world outside. There are too many troubles in this world. Most people have lived their whole lives in intrigues and intrigues.
I really want to think that there are very few people like my aunt who have abandoned the worldly world."
Seeing his serious look, Xu Yishan couldn't help but want to laugh and said: "Old Dong, don't sigh. My aunt is a worldly expert, how can we ordinary people compare to her?"
The aunt smiled faintly, and this smile revealed the ladylike elegance in her body.
In Xu Yishan's opinion, even Chen Xiaoqi is ashamed of her innate temperament.
No matter how good other people's temperaments are, they will always give people a taste of human fireworks. But the temperament exuded by my aunt gives people a feeling of being detached and refined, like a fairy.
My aunt looked at Xu Yishan and asked calmly: "Have you encountered something unpleasant?"
Xu Yishan hummed, then smiled and said: "Auntie, it's okay, it's just a little thing."
The old Dong took over and said: "Is it still a small matter? You have been beaten to the end, does it mean that you have to be locked up for it to be a big deal?"
Xu Yishan said: "Isn't it temporary?"
Old Dong snorted and said: "This is temporary, I'm afraid it will become permanent."
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Isn't this great? Without an official position, you will feel light. To be honest, Old Dong, I still want to go back to the days when we worked at the Water Conservancy Bureau."
Old Dong sighed: "I can't go back."
Xu Yishan said nothing. He was thinking in his heart that it was not that he wanted to be an official. It was that his outlook on life had undergone a qualitative change after becoming an official.
He discovered that as long as he was an official, he could do things for the people. Big officials should do big things, and small officials should do small things.
If you weren't an official, you wouldn't be able to do anything.
