All the leaders of the Jingjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are out and visiting the grassroots every day to pay New Year greetings to the people in need, the widowed elderly, and laid-off workers, and to understand the situation of various material and resource guarantees during the Spring Festival.
To express condolences to the frontline personnel of various departments who are fighting on the front line, Chen Jing also needs to express condolences to military commanders, armed police units, and public security officers.
Secretary Chen's schedule is very full every day, and he works almost non-stop.
Among the ten districts and counties in the city, he traveled to five places at most in one day. The accompanying reporters from the city TV station and the city daily newspaper were overwhelmed. Everyone finally saw how hard this young secretary worked without death.
Every day, more than half of the city's news network broadcasts Secretary Chen's travels and inspections.
Chen Jing chose to walk at this time, and walked so many places in one day, non-stop for more than a week.
He just wants to firmly seize the current opportunity. He must become more familiar with all aspects of Jingjiang and understand the situation in more detail.
This trip was a heavy one for Chen Jing.
The level of difficulties at the grassroots level in Jingjiang exceeded his expectations.
Originally, Chen Jing was from Lihe and knew quite a lot about the lives of ordinary people.
But he never expected that the living standards of the people in Jingjiang City, which is just a stone's throw away from the provincial capital, are not as good as those in a place far away from the emperor of Degao.
If you analyze the reasons carefully, it is actually easy to understand. Although Degao is a remote place, every district and county basically has pillar industries. Moreover, the city scale of Degao is much smaller than that of Jingjiang, and there are not as many state-owned enterprises as there are in Jingjiang.
The reform of state-owned enterprises in Jingjiang has hurt their vitality. A large number of enterprise employees have been laid off, placing a heavy burden on society.
The government failed to correctly guide laid-off workers to re-employ. In the past many years, employment mainly relied on government investment. The result was that laid-off workers could not find a way to re-employ for a long time.
In some families, both husband and wife have been laid off, but their children are still in school. You can imagine how difficult life is for such a family.
The main object of Chen Jing's investigation this time is the families of laid-off workers.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. Once he understands, he won't feel relaxed.
He visited a family of five. The two elderly people were both unable to take care of themselves. The husband and wife were both laid off. The wife had lung disease because she worked in a chemical factory. Now she could not find compensation. There was also a daughter in high school, and the family
Their livelihood depends on men working as temporary workers outside.
The family's annual income is only five to six thousand yuan. With such an income, it is basically difficult for the family to feed their children after they go to school.
The family mainly relies on a small vegetable garden behind the shanty house, which is only about 20 square meters. There used to be a factory behind it. After the factory closed down, the land was temporarily useless, so the laid-off workers used it to grow vegetables. They
One family circled a piece inside.
In such a small garden, there are only two kinds of vegetables: radish and cabbage in winter. I basically don’t use oil when cooking at home, I just boil them in plain water.
Rice is all brown rice. Sometimes, if sweet potatoes are planted in the garden, they will be used to make rice. For a family of five, five sweet potatoes will be a meal.
In a family of five, four of them haven't bought a new piece of clothing in two years. The family can't even afford to buy a broom. Instead, the old man goes to the suburbs to pick up sorghum ears and ties them into a handful himself to serve as a broom.
The living environment is even worse. Because they have to grow vegetables, the whole family uses a big bucket to urinate and defecate in. It is placed behind the two elders’ beds and surrounded by a broken curtain. People can smell the toilet even before they enter the house.
The smell is really unbearable.
Chen Jing's visit to this family was also his temporary change of approach. Before the cadres below could figure it out, he got in.
Originally, Chen Jing came down to express condolences this time, offering each family in need a piece of meat, a fish, and a quilt.
When Chen Jing arrived at this house, he really couldn't bear it. He only had more than a thousand yuan with him, so he took out all of it and gave it to the elderly at home.
Hao Lin, secretary of the Wangyue District Party Committee who was accompanying him, was very smart and also took out 500 yuan, which made Chen Jing feel a little better.
Before leaving, the old man held Chen Jing's hand, burst into tears, and thanked him repeatedly, saying that Chen Jing was a good secretary, the party's policies were good, and he had not forgotten them.
After Chen Jing left this house, he felt really uncomfortable. He immediately called several accompanying reporters over and gave him a tough lecture.
Such a family and such an old man say that Chen Jing is a good secretary after talking about the party's policies in front of him. Is this still news? This is the loudest slap in the face to the Jingjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary. This is not news, it is a scandal.
These young reporters kept recording and filming. They didn't think it was embarrassing, but Chen Jing still thought it was embarrassing!
Later, Chen Jing carried out several more surprise attacks. Although he did not encounter a family as difficult as this one, the situation was not much better.
When Chen Jing met with the district committee teams in several districts, they were all very angry about this. He even said, "The wine and meat in Zhumen smells bad, and there are people freezing to death on the road." The situation in Jingjiang was like this, and Chen Jing only felt that all his ambitions were
Deyiman was defeated in an instant.
He returned to the Chujiang River that afternoon and asked Lao He to park his car on the edge of the Chujiang River. He looked alone at the surging river water going eastward and remained silent for a long time.
If it was a few years ago, he would have howled loudly at the vast river to vent his heavy heart.
But today, he did nothing, just stood like that, thinking about a lot of things in his mind.
He has thought about every detail of his experiences over the years.
I went from Lihe to the provincial capital, then to Lingnan, and finally to the capital.
There were ups and downs along the way, but there were more flowers and applause, and my life became richer and richer from a small civil servant.
From the perspective of real estate, I now own five or six houses, and I never have to worry about money. The clothes I wear can support a family of five for several years. I have never realized this problem, and I still feel complacent about it.
He was proud, thinking that he was very successful, and that Jingjiang would definitely have a good future under his governance.
Looking at it now, where is the good future? People in Jingjiang are living such a life, so what future can they talk about? If we don’t do anything, there will be a risk of starving to death!
For the first time, Chen Jing felt that he was lost, and very lost.
Over the years, as the officials became more and more powerful, they were further and further away from the common people. They were surrounded by feasting, flowers and applause, and it was impossible to see the extremely shocking real world behind the glamour.
A drop of something like a small raindrop quietly slid across his cheek.
He rubbed his eyes and slowly closed them.
He recalled what Secretary Sha Mingde often said. The secretary said that at any time, he would remind himself not to forget that he was the son of a farmer.
When Chen Jing heard this sentence, he was not touched at all. He kept saying yes and complimenting the secretary, but in his heart, he only wanted the secretary to give him some advice so that he could be more comfortable in the officialdom.
Thinking about it now, Chen Jing couldn't help but ask himself, Secretary Sha Mingde is the son of a farmer, whose son is he?
My parents are ordinary working-class people.
I also grew up in a small shanty house, but now do I remember those hard days?
Today's society seems to have long forgotten about hard work, nor about diligence and frugality. Everyone is lost in the game of money, laughing at the poor but not at prostitution. Is this what I, as the leader of the party, should bring to society?
?
Chen Jing clenched his fists hard and secretly made up his mind.
Even if Jingjiang faces numerous difficulties and dangers, he still needs to reform, and no one can stop his determination.
Still the same sentence, even if there are millions of people, I will go!
…
The annual Spring Festival is coming as scheduled, and it snows heavily in Chujiang River.
The sound of firecrackers ushers in the old year, and when the fireworks on the edge of the Chu River rise into the sky and illuminate the city, it heralds the arrival of the Lunar New Year.
Chen Jing came here with his whole family this year, including his elder sister and his younger sister’s family, as well as his uncle’s family, three generations living under the same roof, dozens of people together, and it was extremely lively.
There is a small episode in this.
The mother-in-law in Beijing was quite critical of Chen Jing's choice to celebrate the New Year in Chujiang River.
For this reason, calls from Fang Lujian and his mother-in-law were placed on Chen Jing's mobile phone. During the Spring Festival, there were only two of them. Fang Lianjie was in the army and could not go home at all. The old man was gone, and the Fang family no longer got together.
.Chen Jing celebrated the New Year in Chujiang, but they seemed deserted and lonely in the capital.
Regarding this problem, Chen Jing had a headache, so he had to say to his mother-in-law: "Mom, I told Wanqi and the others not to come over and spend the New Year with you and your elders. As you know, I just came to Jingjiang and was the top leader. It is impossible during the Spring Festival.
There is a chance to return to Beijing.
It was because of this that Wanqi had to come here, and the whole family was gathered in Chujiang. There was nothing I could do.
That's it, Mom, that's it for this year. Next year I will try to go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and I will spend the New Year in the capital from now on, what do you think?"
When Chen Jing said this, Xu Lian had nothing to say and her tone became much gentler.
She blamed Chen Jing for not being good at building relationships. The Spring Festival was such a good opportunity to go back to Beijing to get together with her third uncle. There were many friends in Beijing. It would be beneficial for future development if everyone took this opportunity to meet each other, right?
It can be seen that Xu Lian is still very proud of Chen Jing.
Chen Jing is now the leader among the younger generation of the Northwest Department. He serves as the secretary of the municipal party committee in the local area and is highly regarded by the provincial leaders. In time, he will definitely go further. Maybe in the future, the leading figure of the Northwest Department will be Chen Jing.
.
Now the Fang family in the capital attaches great importance to Chen Jing. If nothing else, just chatting between Xu Lian and her sisters-in-law, everyone has to ask about Chen Jing's current situation.
The marriage that the Fang family was most opposed to back then has become the most proud marriage of the Fang family today because of Fang Wanqi's persistence.
Other families all join forces and engage in nepotism, but the Fang family does not rely on that. Their children can recognize people with a keen eye, and finding such a accomplished son-in-law is enviable...
