After Zhou Haisheng asked a few cadres to remove weeds, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, then said to Han Lefei: "Go back to the town now, go to the restaurant and buy more than a dozen dishes. Remember, you must choose hard dishes. "
Han Lefei pointed to the bicycle lane next to him: "Secretary Zhou, look at my broken bicycle. It's probably not too early to return to town."
After jogging for a while, Zhou Haisheng was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He twisted his body and took out his mobile phone. When he saw that there was no signal, he cursed angrily: "What a bloody place."
Shen Tong suddenly had a whim and suggested: "Secretary Zhou, I think there is no need to go to the town restaurant to cook. Think about it, Director Jiang goes to various banquets every day, and he is probably tired of eating big fish and meat. And we There should be a lot of game in Qingjiang Village, so why not come here to remember the bitterness and sweetness?"
Zhou Haisheng was woken up by Shen Tong. He patted his forehead and said, "Brother Shen still has an idea. You see, I am too busy. Let me tell you, Qingjiang Village lacks everything except game. There is Qingjiang fish in the river. There are pheasants on the mountain, as well as vegetables, mushrooms, etc., there are countless, what do you think of these?"
Shen Tong nodded frequently and said: "This is what Director Jiang will definitely like. I wonder if it can be prepared in such a short time?"
Zhou Haisheng patted his chest and said: "There is no problem at all. Fish can be caught freshly, pheasants can be hunted freshly, vegetables and mushrooms are all ready-made, Brother Shen can rest assured."
After saying that, he shouted to Han Lefei who was in a daze on the side: "What are you still doing? Didn't you listen to Brother Shen's arrangements? Hurry up and find someone to catch fish and pheasants."
Han Lefei was angry that he was not reprimanded by Zhou Haisheng. Instead, he smiled and said to Zhou Haisheng: "Secretary Zhou, how do you calculate the common people's wages?"
"You are the mayor, what do you want me to do? Just go ahead and do what you have to do!" Zhou Haisheng raised his hand impatiently.
Han Lefei stuck out his tongue towards Shen Tong and left angrily.
Looking at Han Lefei walking away, and then looking at the cute Zhou Haisheng, I was immediately infected by this harmonious working atmosphere. I remember that when I was in Shihe Town, the ideas of the secretary and mayor had never been unified, and they often fought fiercely. Looking back, Zhou Haisheng, who had no airs at all, got along well with the cadres of the agency. Shen Tong even had some illusions, but the matter was really before his eyes.
Shen Tong took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Haisheng. Zhou Haisheng quickly waved his hand and said: "I won't smoke anymore. I quit smoking. Look at my body shape. I'm tall. If I smoke again, I'll be dead. Haha..."
Shen Tong looked back at the driver, Lao Chen, and saw him sitting leisurely on the Qingjiang River Dam, enjoying this rare leisure. Shen Tong looked at Lao Chen's rickety back and thought of his father, feeling sad. .
Shen Tong seemed to have thought of something again and hurriedly called to Han Lefei who was walking quickly in front of him. He ran forward and said, "Mayor Han, please be more prepared when you are going to catch fish and pheasants. When you leave, give it to Director Jiang. Secretary Wu also Director Zhang will bring a copy."
Han Lefei had a quick mind and understood it immediately. He said to Shen Tong with some admiration: "Brother Shen, it is indeed run by the county committee. It is thoughtful and thoughtful. No problem, I will do it right now."
Zhou Haisheng, who ran up, also echoed: "Fortunately, Brother Shen is here, otherwise our job would be to catch the blind and we would not be able to find the right direction."
Shen Tong said modestly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, it's just a personal suggestion. Secretary Zhou, let's go find the tomb of the educated youth now."
Zhou Haisheng found a villager and took them up the mountain. After crossing Shuangta Mountain, in a quiet pine forest, the villager pointed to a slightly raised dirt bag and said, "The one lying inside is the educated youth."
The tomb is covered with weeds and surrounded by a few stones. An upright wooden board has been somewhat rotted by wind and rain. But you can still vaguely see a line of mottled small words: "The Tomb of Lu Xinzhi." The inscription: "April 13, 1964."
After a moment of silence, Shen Tong said to Zhou Haisheng beside him: "I think Director Jiang will definitely be here soon. We need to prepare some shovels and some flowers."
Facing the deceased, Zhou Haisheng felt a little heavy and nodded to Shen Tong.
Coming down from the mountain, under the guidance of fellow villagers, Shen Tong found Granny Xu, who had taken care of Director Jiang. Looking at this nearly 80-year-old grandmother, Shen Tong thought of Mr. Zhang who gave him eggs when he left Qiaobei Village. Oh, although more than a month has passed, the scene at that time is still vivid in my mind.
Shen Tong said to Zhou Haisheng: "Secretary Zhou, I think we will arrange lunch at Grandma Xu's house. Director Jiang must be a nostalgic person, otherwise he would not revisit this old place again."
After everything was arranged, Shen Tong looked at his watch. It was already past ten in the morning. It was estimated that Director Jiang and the others were already on the way. He said to Zhou Haisheng: "Secretary Zhou, let's return to Dongguan Town now to prepare to welcome Jiang." Director and others."
Zhou Haisheng seemed to be used to following Shen Tong's arrangements. Every time he said something, he nodded frequently.
As soon as the car arrived at Dongguan Town, he received a call from Zhang Liwei, asking about the situation here, and told him that he would arrive at Dongguan Town soon. He also told Shen Tong that there was no need for Zhou Haisheng to get out of the car to greet him, and he would lead the way when he saw the car. Directly to Qingjiang Village.
After waiting for about 5 minutes, two black off-road vehicles appeared in the rearview mirror. The one in front belonged to Wu Jiangkai, and the two in the back should belong to Jiang Weisheng. The driver, Lao Chen, was very skilled in this kind of greeting and delivery. , pressed the parking lights, turned on the double flashers, turned the steering wheel, and turned to the center of the road. The headlights of the car behind flashed, and the driver, Lao Chen, stepped on the accelerator and drove out quickly.
After arriving at Qingjiang Village, as expected by Shen Tong, Jiang Weisheng's car stopped next to a row house outside the village. Shen Tong and Zhou Haisheng quickly jumped out of the car and followed closely behind.
I saw Jiang Weisheng wearing a navy blue jacket, and the leather shoes on his feet were very eye-catching. He was a tall man with a slicked back hair, and a pair of deep eyes under his fair skin. He was majestic, full of official authority, and his powerful aura was intimidating.
Shen Tong nodded at Zhang Liwei and followed closely behind him into the row room.
It was dirty and messy inside. A few rays of sunlight came in from the dilapidated roof and just hit Jiang Weisheng's face. Jiang Weisheng touched the wall gently with his hand and tears filled his eyes.
When he reached a corner, he squatted down and looked for something. After a while, he shouted excitedly: "Jiang Kai, come over and see, this is the famous aphorism I carved on the wall, and it's still there."
A group of people cheered and gathered around, and Zhou Haisheng also tried his best to hold his stomach and move forward. Shen Tong looked carefully and vaguely saw a few words. When he thought them together, it should be Zhuge Liang's famous saying: "Aim high and aim high."
Jiang Weisheng said with emotion: "I spent three years here, and now that I think about it, I don't even know how I got here."
