When I woke up, it was already the sun in the sky.

When Hou Weidong saw the time, it was already eight forty. He ran downstairs in panic, opened the office, and then carried the water bottle from the office to the backyard. Chi Ming and a fat woman were drinking porridge. When she saw Hou Weidong coming in, she said, "The boiling water is just boiling, you can wait a while."

"This is Sister Tian Xiuyingda. If you buy a meal ticket, you will find her."

Hou Weidong still didn't know much about the situation of the working group. He only knew that the township leader Gao, who had retired to the second line, was the team leader Gao, Xi Zhaoyong from the police station, Li Yong from the Agricultural Technology Station, Duan Pangwa from the Food Group, Chi Ming from the Working Group, Yang Xinchun from the Agricultural Economic Station, Tian Fushen and Bai Chuncheng from the Agricultural Economic Station, Zheng Fai of the Radio Station, and he didn't know what Tian Xiuying's identity was.

Tian Xiuying was as her name had a round face, just like the word "Tian" in official script. Her skin was also dark, and her eyes were slightly raised. She was holding a big steamed bun in her hand and said while eating: "Xiao Hou, I am a party and government office. I will come to me if I buy a meal ticket in the future."

Hou Weidong had a bad impression of Tian Xiuying, and her face had a ruthless smell. Chi Ming said the day before yesterday that members of the Qinglinshan working group were either old, needless to say, referring to village chief Gao; or those who couldn't control the matter, perhaps referring to people like Tian Fushen, Chi Ming, Yang Xinchun; and there was also a kind of disobedient one. According to Hou Weidong's intuition, it might refer to Li Yong and Sister Tian.

Holding beside the big iron pot, Hou Weidong watched the boiling water in the big iron pot start to bubble bit by bit, and said to himself: "We must avoid some Tian Xiuying in the future. We feel that this is a woman who likes to gossip."

After making the office boiling water and cleaning the yard, Hou Weidong sneaked to Yao Shouzi's tofu restaurant. Yao Shouzi was very enthusiastic when he saw Hou Weidong and said, "Hou University, what should I eat?" Hou Weidong sat in the seat next to the door to avoid the stench of honeycomb coal everywhere, and said, "Old like to have a bowl of tofu." Yao Shouzi recommended, "Today there is steamed pork with steamed pork, one piece of 50% to taste."

Hou Weidong has been eating porridge, steamed buns, milk, eggs and pickles for breakfast. After arriving in Qinglin, he actually started eating tofu rice for breakfast, and he had a good time. Because it was working hours, Hou Weidong hid in Yao Shouzi for dinner, so he was worried, for fear that Township Chief Gao or other staff would see him coming out for breakfast during work hours.

After having breakfast safely, he hurried back to the yard, opened the door, and focused on reading the newspaper.

After a while, when he heard someone outside, several strange men and women with sweaty heads walked into the office. From their skin and temperament, Hou Weidong concluded that the people of their government were. Sure enough, before he could speak, a fat man with a bulging belly said, "Is Township Mayor Gao here?" Hou Weidong stood up and said, "He is not in the office."

The fat man walked out the door and shouted, "Captain Gao, Township Chief Gao, come down to drink." Hearing the extremely tone of the Township Chief Gao, he said, "Fatty Chao, what are you calling? I'm coming down." Fat man Chao walked to the office, opened the ceiling fan to the maximum, and then stood under the ceiling fan, looking very enjoyable.

Several other people surrounded him, enjoying the cool breeze of the ceiling fan.

When Hou Weidong heard Fatty Chao, he remembered that the deputy mayor in charge of comprehensive political and legal governance and social security was named Chao. He stayed on Qinglin Mountain for three days and saw the real town leader for the first time. He stood up quietly, poured a glass of water, and said, "Please drink water, it's a bit hot."

Fatty Chao took the teacup, then put it aside, and asked, "Are you the newly assigned college student Hou Weidong?"

"I am Hou Weidong."

"You did a good job yesterday morning. The county leaders attached great importance to this case. Many leaders came down." Fatty Chao stood under the ceiling fan and said, "No, the young man is not bad."

At this time, the village head Gao walked in. He wore a pair of shorts and an old-fashioned sandal on his feet. He smiled and said, "Fatty Chao, climbing a mountain can help you lose weight. As long as you go up the mountain twice a week, you will definitely be able to reduce your clothes successfully. Why bother to eat weight loss tea? It's useless." He also said to Hou Weidong: "Hou University, this is Mayor Chao."

Hou Weidong already knew that he was Mayor Chao. After listening to the introduction of Mayor Gao, he pretended to know the other party’s identity. He quickly stood up and said, “Mayor Chao, I am Hou Weidong, I am only working. I don’t understand many things. Please criticize more.”

Mayor Chao stroked his belly and said, "This is Director Huang from the Family Planning Office, Li Hui from the Family Planning Office, and Zeng Wen from the Social Affairs Office." He pointed to the lesbian and said, "This is Duan Hongxiu from the Family Planning Office."

In Hou Weidong's impression, the directors of the Family Planning Office are all lesbians, but he did not expect that the director of the Family Planning Office of Qinglin Town Government was a gay man.

"Call Li Yong and Secretary Qin and Director Jiang from Dushi Village." Mayor Chao ordered Li Hui and said to the township chief Gao: "I got the news that Dushi Village has a big belly. We want to take her back. It is from Guo Blacksmith's house. He is a famous barbarian, so we have to let Xi Zhaoyong and Tian Dadao go together."

"There are also village cadre Li Yong and the new Hou Weidong, who are coming, have to go with you."

Township Mayor Gao said in a secluded manner: "Guo Manzi thinks his grandson is going crazy. If we go like this, according to his temper, something will happen." Mayor Chao said with a calm face: "The more children on Qinglin Mountain all look at Guo Manzi. If they don't take him down, the family planning work will not be carried out in the future. I don't believe that he, a barbarian, can resist the power of the people's dictatorship."

Hou Weidong studied politics and law. He felt that Mayor Chao, who was in charge of politics and law, was still in the 1980s, but he was a new man and had no qualifications to interrupt.

After a while, before he saw Xi Zhaoyong go downstairs, Mayor Chao cursed and said, "Xi Zhaoyong is a veteran who fought the Vietnam War. Are you still afraid of Guo Manzi?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhaoyong walked in wearing a pair of slippers. After he came in, he sat next to Hou Weidong and said, "What's the matter?" Director Huang, the family planning office next to him, dissipated the smoke and said, "Guo Manzi's second wife is pregnant again. We are going to let her go to the government to handle it." Xi Zhaoyong said, "The bureau has regulations that the police station cannot send police officers randomly. These matters are the government's affairs, so we don't care."

The police station does not belong to the subordinate department of the town government, but the police agency of the public security bureau. The salary relationship and personnel relationship are in the bureau. Therefore, the police in the police station have a strong independence, but the police station needs a lot of assistance, and some funds need to be resolved by local governments. Therefore, the relationship between the local government and the police station depends on each other, and to a certain extent, it also restricts each other.

Mayor Chao, Xi Zhaoyong, brought out any clauses and couldn't bear to worry about his face and said, "I didn't ask you to hit people. We are worried that Guo Manzi will be hindering official duties by then. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, this is always the police station's business."

Xi Zhaoyong crossed his legs and said with a smile: "Qinglin sent all regulations to send police officers. Director Qin must agree. Now Director Qin has not made any statement. How dare I send police officers? Family planning is the basic national policy, but the discipline of the public security is also very strict. I want to wear this outfit for a few more years."

Seeing that the two of them became more and more confrontational, Director Huang gave a wink to Township Chief Gao and said, "Xi Public Security Bureau, I've come out for a while. I have something to ask you."

Xi Zhaoyong followed Director Huang out, leaving him with sulking while stroking his stomach.

I don’t know what Director Huang said to Xi Zhaoyong. When the two came back, Director Huang said, “Everyone, Guo Manzi’s wife happened to be at home today. Let’s go quickly. If she leaves, it will be trouble.”
