The older a person is, the more he feels that time flies, especially when he is living a good life, in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed again.

It was noon that it was so sunny outside the cave that Wu Fangge put on sunglasses before leaving the cave. He and a group of apprentices were wearing the same sky blue work clothes and carrying a tool kit, and then he completed the license examination for the pipe repairman and walked out of the culvert.

As soon as he came out of the hole, a bunch of "reporters in front" came towards him, and the apprentices around him were also very tactful and moved aside. Among the front-line reporters, the young girl was in front of him, with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary breast, and a very good Mandarin, but her big eyes were pure and lovely. Wu Fangge hadn't seen such eyes for a long time.

Because I haven't seen each other for a long time, I hesitated for a moment, and was caught by the reporter. I reached over the microphone and asked, "Director Wu, can you ask a few questions?"

Wu Fangge smiled and said, "Didn't you ask again? But I have to submit the test first. If I hand in the late delivery, it will affect my grades." As he said that, he left everyone and walked straight to the invigilator's seat. A pair of reporters followed like maggots on their bones.

Wu Fangge walked up to a person dressed by an old worker, respectfully handed over the form and said, "Master, I'm finished the exam."

The old man dressed cleanly, obviously he had dressed up carefully, and signed the letter and said, "We will announce the results later. You can take a break first." His tone was even neither humble nor arrogant.

Wu Fangge naturally responded respectfully again and walked towards the group of young apprentices sitting on the flower table. The reporter followed with a loud bang and asked non-stop.

Although this move is suspected of being a show, most of the lower-level and pipeline workers do not think so. Since Jinwu City launched the "big excavation" urban planning, it has combined the water, electricity and gas networks and other urban resources, and established a state-owned pipeline service company. In order to cultivate comprehensive composite pipeline maintenance personnel, it has implemented a certificate system, combining electricians, plumbers and all pipeline technical jobs into one, forming a license, which not only improves the treatment and status of the lower-level technical workers, but also integrates resources. Today, it is the first batch of pipeline line workers' certificates and licenses on-site operation examinations, and experienced old workers account for a considerable proportion of the examiners. All of this is the work of Wu Fangge since he took office as the acting deputy mayor of Jinwu City.

"We can drive a truck into the sewer in foreign countries. We can't get in except for mice. Today we lay wires to dig up the roads, and tomorrow we lay the air pipes to open the roads. Not to mention disturbing the public, the city needs to be developed and expanded, but the pipeline system is still decades ago?" Under Wu Fangge's generous speech, driven by the huge interests after the establishment of the pipeline company, Jinwu City's "big excavation" and emerging pipeline industry certificate system were finally passed, and it was supported by the provincial party committee and government. So after Wu Fangge took office as acting deputy mayor, what he did was actually just one thing, but it was enough. Although it was only a pilot in the West District, the new pipeline system was tested in the heavy rain at the turn of spring and summer. The entire West District was the only area in Jinwu City that was not flooded backwards, so since then, the large excavation plan in the West District has been promoted throughout the city.

Many people are Wu Fangge who is really doing show off, preventing good mayors from being improper, and still taking the plumber license at the age of his age. But Wu Fangge has his own rhetoric: In our country, with the popularization of higher education, there is no shortage of high-end talents, but it is just a problem of application, but low-end technical workers are very lacking. Otherwise, how can one work as a zero-hour worker whenever something happens? He is short of talents, and he wants to send his children to college to become white-collar workers and make big money. I just want to let everyone know that being a technical worker can make big money, be respected, and have a great future.

But it’s all about what people say, what is right and wrong, and what is the purpose. Sometimes even I can’t tell clearly, but one thing is certain, that is, Wu Fangge’s plumber license passed the exam. Although many people don’t believe it, the facts are the facts. Even Wu Fangge himself proudly said: “If I don’t become an official one day, it’s good to be a plumber. I will open a small company called ‘Mario Pipe Repair Company’.”

"Mario, I'm still picking mushrooms." Guzi said with a smile after hearing this.

"It's OK, too." Wu Fangge said indifferently. On that day of the certificate, he was even happier than getting the graduation certificate of the Central Party School. "This is the world's universal." He shook his plumber's license and said, "The graduation certificate of the Party School can only be used in China."

As the deputy mayor, the boundary between work and spare time became increasingly blurred, and work and life seemed to be entangled and could not be separated. Wu Fangge felt that being an old friend was not good at all. He was not as free and comfortable as being a small clerk before. He saw smiling faces all day long and didn't know which ones were true. In this way, new friends could not be made, and many old friends looked at him differently than before. This was really a tragic thing. Therefore, when she received a call from an old friend, she actually talked to him in her previous tone, which made him very happy. So she squeezed some time to sneak out and meet her old friend.

The old friend's name is Zheng Xuewen.

Zheng Xuewen is already fifty years old, but she still dresses up like before. She is the kind of woman who looks three times. The so-called woman who looks like a girl from a distance and a young woman from a close distance. After taking off her makeup, she turns out to be an old lady.

Wu Fangge and Zheng Xuewen have not seen each other for many years. Since Wu Fangge once went to the provincial capital to find her, she secretly walked into the office building with a man's arm and kissed her, and never disturbed her again. After all, everyone has their own circle, and it is normal for an old lover to get married. In this way, Wu Fangge did not go to Zheng Xuewen, and Zheng Xuewen did not contact him on his own initiative. In this way, the two of them went to four and the other five. If they didn't meet again, they would probably have to be in the nursing home.

After a long separation, they naturally felt particularly intimate. The two even hugged each other and sat down to have coffee.

Zheng Xuewen smiled and said, "It's pretty good to play the song, the deputy mayor."

Wu Fangge responded with a chuckle: "Where is it, the agent."

Zheng Xuewen said: "It's not that true in our country. You are just for sure. Speaking of which, it was the big earthquake that made you successful. During that time, I often saw you on the news that you came from the army and the disaster relief teams I led were all elite soldiers."

Wu Fangge sighed, as if he was being mentioned and was very reluctant to be brought up. He scratched his head and said, "I would rather not be promoted to this official position."

"What? Did you have a premonition before?" Zheng Xuewen and Wu Fangge have known each other for a long time, and they are very familiar with Wu Fangge's premonition of disaster.

Wu Fangge nodded and said, "Yes, I prepared in advance, such as shockproof board rooms, tents, medicines and foods, and I have stored a lot of them, but I can't say it, and no one believes it. I can only manage the people I can manage, employees, relatives...ah... I've watched people be buried..."

Zheng Xuewen comforted: "Singing, don't blame yourself so much. You are not God, so you can't save everyone, and you have also helped many people."

"It's just atonement." Wu Fangge said, "So when I announced that I would be the acting deputy mayor, I was completely confused. I was ashamed. I always dreamed and quietly burned paper towards the severely affected area for a few days before I got better slowly."

Zheng Xuewen said: "Singing, people should look forward and look at the present. You see, you are old now, and it is easy to do good deeds. Just think more about the people in your heart."

Wu Fangge smiled and said, "Yes, I have earned enough money a few years ago. Now I do administrative work in full-time and seek some benefits for the people." Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "By the way, Sister Xuewen, why did you suddenly remember to find me? You are divorced again."

Zheng Xuewen smiled and hit him and said, "You have just divorced, your whole family has divorced."

Wu Fangge smiled and said, "Your mouth is so poisonous."

Zheng Xuewen said: "You mess with me first."

Wu Fangge had to apologize repeatedly before coaxing her. Although Zheng Xuewen is almost in the ranks of old ladies, when chatting with her old lover, her tone is like a girl.

"That's right." Zheng Xuewen finally talked about the serious matter. "One of my apprentices is now entering the industry. She is very motivated, but she lacks experience. I want to give you an exclusive interview. As an elder, I have to help you."

Wu Fangge deliberately said with a stern face: "I thought it was just a reminiscence. It turned out to be a business matter. Please go to my office to discuss business matters."

Zheng Xuewen smashed the melon seeds and said, "Give me an official voice, you are going to die, just say, do you help me, don't you help me, and leave immediately if you don't help me." As she said that, she pretended to get up.

Wu Fangge quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no, I can't agree? But I have to look at people, I don't like you, but I still don't accept it if I don't like you."

Zheng Xuewen said: "You must be happy with me. If I like you, you must be happy with me. In fact, you may have seen it. She interviewed you on the day you took the certificate exam, but there were too many people at that time, so you might not have noticed it."

Wu Fangge suddenly had an inspiration in his mind and blurted out: "It's not that 'Sanping'!"

Zheng Xuewen was stunned: "Shanping? You know it? Everyone knows the name."

Wu Fangge knew the misunderstanding and quickly explained: "I don't know what name, and I can't be her. I just have a deep impression of a girl. She has an ordinary appearance, an ordinary breast, and a normal Mandarin. It's Sanping."

Zheng Xuewen scolded: "It's the deputy mayor, but she still has such a wolfish nature."

Both of them laughed for a while, and Zheng Xuewen said again: "But this may be really fate. She is a little bit of a three-way match..."

Now it was Wu Fangge's turn to be stunned: "It's not such a coincidence." n
