At the entrance of the bus station, Hou Weidong suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. He couldn't tell why he felt this way, but the closer he got to the station, the stronger the feeling was. When he entered the station, he looked at the recording room outside the station door. A thin woman sat outside the recording room, staring at the pedestrians on the street without looking at them.

After entering the station, Hou Weidong saw Chen Qingrong holding his hands and facing a calm face at a glance. Hou Weidong's eyes turned around and did not notice Zhang Yuanzheng's figure. As things were so, he could not hide, so he walked over to Chen Qingrong.

"Hello, Aunt Chen."

Chen Qingrong held her hands and looked very serious. When Hou Weidong spoke, "Hou Weidong, you are a man, a man who understands feelings and is responsible." Speaking of this, her voice suddenly choked and said, "We only have one daughter. We don't want her to marry into Yiyang County. If you are sincerely good to Xiaojia, for Xiaojia's happiness, please don't come again and don't disturb our lives again."

In Chen Qingrong's eyes, Hou Weidong was like a foreign species far away in South America. He accidentally arrived in Shazhou and even made their lives a mess.

Hou Weidong was in the local area and didn't know what to say. He was stunned for a while before saying, "Aunt Chen, Xiaojia and I are sincere. If we break up like this, I will be in pain, and she will be even more painful. Please give us some time. Xiaojia and I will work hard together and we will definitely change the status quo."

Chen Qingrong wiped her tears and said, "I believe in your ability, but in this society, it is not enough to have ability alone. Xiaojia's youth is only once. As parents, we cannot let her gamble. People's hearts are full of flesh. If you exchange your hearts, I hope you can understand."

Hou Weidong had to admit that what Chen Qingrong said was very reasonable and was from the heartfelt truth, which made him extremely embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he still strengthened his confidence and said, "Aunt Chen, I can't do it if I want Xiaojia and I to break up."

Chen Qingrong's face looked even more ugly, with tears and anger on her face, and even helplessness.

Chen Qingrong's expression made Hou Weidong feel that he was an invader. He said, "Give me three years, I must be transferred to Shazhou."

Chen Qingrong was excited and said, "In three years, if you cannot be transferred to Shazhou in three years, you must break up with Xiaojia. On behalf of Xiaojia's father, I promise you that if you transfer to Shazhou in three years, you will definitely not stop you." Then he said, "Let's keep your word, you must also promise something. Don't meet Xiaojia during this period. You have only started working. You should devote your main energy to your work. Young people should cherish opportunities."

"A good slowdown."

Hou Weidong bargained: "When we meet on weekends, we will not affect our work."

Chen Qingrong said firmly: "I won't talk to you about conditions. In the past three years, Xiaojia's father and I have not allowed Xiaojia to meet you, otherwise I will break off relations with Xiaojia. If it's for Xiaojia's good, you'd better not come to Shazhou."

Hou Weidong finally did not agree to the conditions proposed by Chen Qingrong, and the two parted in disagreement.

Meeting Chen Qingrong made Hou Weidong quite bored. Along the way, his ideological struggle was fierce. Thinking of Chen Qingrong's words and her sad expression, Hou Weidong always felt that this matter was a bit cruel to the two elders, but if it was not cruel to them, he would be cruel to love.

It seems that the ancients have already made a conclusion.

During his trip to Shazhou, Hou Weidong felt the huge pressure on his shoulders. The road was chosen by himself, and no one could blame him. Only by breaking through the siege can he deserve Xiaojia's deep affection. To break through the siege, one must start step by step. The first point is to gain a foothold in Qinglin Town, then return to Yiyang County Government, and then run to Shazhou. This goal is simple, but it is not easy to do. From the prosperous Shazhou to the hometown of ancient town, Hou Weidong immediately felt the distant gap between ideals and reality.

Monday and Tuesday nothing happened.

There was still no news of being transferred. Hou Weidong was thinking about working hard, but the reality was so helpless. He was exiled to Shangqinglinchang Town. Without any job, even if he wanted to work hard, he had nowhere to start.

"Opportunities are for those who are prepared." Supported by this belief, Hou Weidong prepared a notebook. Every time he read a "People's Daily", he had to take notes carefully and understand the spirit of the central government.

At 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, Hou Weidong was still sitting alone in the office studying the People's Daily. Is it useful to study like this? Hou Weidong has no idea, but he doesn't study. On Qinglin Township, he just wandered around all day long. He read the editorial carefully, then turned to the fourth page, and then read the diary of the diplomat traveling non-discussions.

There was a voice in the yard. There was a postal agency on the ground floor of the yard. People often came in to make phone calls. Hou Weidong didn't care and continued to concentrate on looking at the People's Daily.

"Hou University, this is Mayor Su." Li Yong, the bearded man, entered the door and introduced carelessly.

"Master Su, this is Hou Weidong."

Mayor Su is very small, only a little over 1.6 meters and a small figure. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hou Weidong, welcome you to work in Qinglin Town."

Li Yong continued, "This is the Director of the Rural Office and the Director of the Agricultural Economics Station Huang."

Director Tian wore a faded old military uniform, which looked very simple, black and thin. Webmaster Huang was three-point similar to Baichuncheng, Shangqinglin, and was white and fat. His clothes looked very high-grade, which made him feel like a Shazhou native.

Hou Weidong has been to Shangqinglin Town for nearly ten days and has a basic concept of the Qinglin Town Government. Knowing that Mayor Su is the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, he stood up politely and said, "Master Su, please sit inside." He dragged a rattan chair over and said, "Master Su, sit here, it's cold."

He also said to Director Tian and Webmaster Huang: "Two leaders, please sit in there." Director Tian and Webmaster Huang walked inside with a smile.

Mayor Su looked around at the office and praised: "I haven't come for a few days, and this office has changed. In the past, there were dust everywhere."

Mayor Su’s words were a practical matter. After Hou Weidong took over the office, he cleaned the office completely and wiped out all the filth. The reason for this was very simple. One was to show it to the Township Mayor Gao, and the other was that since he wanted to work in this office, it would be a little cleaner to work.

From then on, the first thing I did every day at work was to clean the office and conference room. This was a slight effort, so Hou Weidong persisted.

After a few family conversations, the mayor Gao Township, Li Yong, Secretary Qin and Director Jiang from Dushi Village, Tian Fushen and others all arrived at the office. Mayor Su said, "The office is too small, so we will go to the conference room to have a meeting."

After entering the meeting, Mayor Su looked at the refreshing conference room and his eyes lit up, saying, "Yang Xinchun finally made up his mind to clean the conference room." Mayor Gao said, "Now Hou Weidong is a worker, how can he let Hou Weidong clean the office?" Mayor Gao explained, "Yang Xinchun is a postal agent of Shangqing Linchang Town. This was discussed by Mayor Tian and Lao Jiang of the Postal Office."

I heard that it was arranged by Mayor Tian, ​​so Mayor Su did not explain this issue in detail. Seeing everyone sitting down, he said, "It's so hot in the weather. Mayor Gao asked his sister-in-law to cook porridge in the pot and stir-fry the meat on the pot at noon. Let's drink two cups."

Secretary Qin, who was sitting below, shouted: "I won't bother Mayor Gao at noon today. Mayor Su personally came to collect the Taliu Coordinator that was not paid last year. No matter how poor our Dushi Village is, this guest can still afford it."

"What does it mean to chase after me? This is my job. I also took it off myself, had dinner and sleep with my wife myself." Mayor Su was silent for a moment, and then his face turned positive and said, "Today, I will go up the mountain. I will collect the remittance that Dushi Village owed last year. Please tell me about the specific situation."

Director Jiang is the village committee director of Dushi Village. He is a middle-aged man with a loyal face. He took out a piece of paper from his bag and said: "Last year, the Tiliu Coordinator owed a total of 3,412 yuan, mainly because of Dushi Village Second Community, and the He family owed the most."

When Director Jiang ordered the specific family, Mayor Su said: "The withdrawal of the coordination fee is a fee that should be collected by the state, but the collection of Qinglin Town last year was very unsatisfactory. The town collected less than 60% of the total. Many farmers refused to pay. Shangqinglin Dushi Village is an example. I analyzed that there are three main reasons for the difficulty in collecting the town: First, some people have poor awareness of paying fees and are unwilling to bear the reasonable burden; second, the calculation of the withdrawal of the coordination fee is unreasonable, the village-level financial management is chaotic, and there are problems with the collection method, which has caused the village to be unable to spend normally, affecting the development of work. Some villages cannot pay the salary of the village cadres because they cannot collect the withdrawal of the coordination fee, which has dampened the enthusiasm of the village cadres."

He emphasized his tone and said, "If no measures are taken to collect the clearance this year, the number of farmers who refuse to pay will increase, and our work will be more passive. Secretary Zhao and Mayor Qin asked me to go to Dushi Village to capture a typical example."

Mayor Su was very eloquent, and his words were very well spoken, which made Hou Weidong look at him with admiration and said intimately: "Master Su is really good."

When he arrived at Shangqinglin, he often heard the cadres of the working group talking about coordination of distribution and retention, and he also had a rough understanding. The so-called distribution refers to the provident fund, public welfare funds and management fees collected by the village-level organizations. The coordination is the funds collected by the town government for family planning, preferential treatment, militia training, town and village road construction and private education, and is an important source of financial resources at the town and village levels.
