Yesterday was 5.12, and I didn’t start writing a day. After two o’clock in the afternoon, I heard the drill alarm coming from the air and the constant sound of horns on the street, and it seemed that I had returned to that shaking day.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was already evening when I returned from Feishi Town.

A group of party and government members of Feishi Town accompanied Hou Weidong and his party and spent a day on the mountain. Secretary Pu specially selected a farmer on the mountain, slaughtered fat local chickens, put some dried cowpeas, and stewed them slowly over low heat. When the pot was boiled at noon, the aroma came to his nose.

This is a natural farm chicken soup, which may not be very exquisite, but it is better because of its simplicity.

Secretary Pu in Feishi Town brought a few bottles of Wuliangye in his car, but he did not take it out rashly, but said tentatively: "Secretary Hou, you are here in Feishi Town for the first time. At noon, our party and government are paying you two cups of respect."

Hou Weidong was very generous and was not afraid of drinking. However, as the leader of the county party committee, it was not suitable to take the lead in drinking at noon. He said directly: "The first time I arrived in Feishi, I didn't drink at all. I'm sorry Secretary Pu and Mayor Li's enthusiasm. I'll set a meter and we'll drink a bottle at noon."

It was the first time that Secretary Pu had a private contact with Hou Weidong. Seeing that he was very easy-going and did not object to drinking, he asked the driver to take out Wuliangye. When Wuliangye was placed on the table, he paid attention to Hou Weidong's expression.

In his heart, Hou Weidong was a political star rising by rockets. Such star generally pursues political achievements, and generally has a sense of justice that is somewhat inconsistent with the reality of grassroots. Therefore, the experienced Secretary Park is very respectful to Hou Weidong's etiquette. However, he was not in a hurry to hold Hou Weidong's thick leg, and was respectful and cautious.

Wuliangye was placed in front of Hou Weidong, and Hou Weidong did not look at Wuliangye at all. As the county party secretary came to inspect, if he had to do some old Baigan in Feishi Town, that would be a problem worthy of his attention.

Hou Weidong was very interested in the pot of chicken soup, so he picked up the spoon and said, "I've been walking for a long time and I'm so hungry that I'll drink a bowl of chicken soup first."

Most of the people here are older than Hou Weidong, but at the dinner table, their official positions are always above age, so the table is headed by Hou Weidong, so he naturally feels free and does not have to look at other people's faces carefully.

Secretary Pu saw that Hou Weidong did not pay attention to Wuliangye at all. He did not pretend to be serious. When he felt relaxed, his face became more and more enthusiastic. He poured the beer cup for about two taels, and said, "I heard that Secretary Hou is a huge number, the first among the four major teams in the county."

Hou Weidong drank delicious chicken soup and smiled and said, "The wine is too famous, it's not a good thing."

The mayor Li Jianguo said, "In the past, Xu Shiyou had a lot of alcohol. * He specially approved him to drink, so drinking should vary from person to person." He became the mayor after Liu Yonggang was dismissed, and his qualifications were not enough. He had to be much more restrained in front of Hou Weidong.

Hou Weidong raised his wine glass and said, "Today is the first time I have had a meal with the party and government team of Feishi Town. I will toast you for this glass of wine first."

The party and government leaders of Feishi Town all stood up, and Hou Weidong used a wine glass to chat with Secretary Park, Li Jianguo, Lu Fei and others in turn.

Good wine, good dishes, and good scenery of course brings a good mood. With the deliberate training of both sides, the host and the guest had a happy conversation and a good atmosphere.

Spring usually receives many banquets, but when she attends the banquet, she always stands behind her back and pours wine. Today, she sits with Hou Weidong, Secretary Park and others as a guest, and her mood is naturally different. When Secretary Park toast her politely, she suppresses her inner excitement and stands up with her glass: "Secretary Park, Xiaochun is toasting you with a glass. I have limited alcohol tolerance, so I can only drink a little. Please feel free to Secretary Park."

Spring is very clear and appropriate.

She worked in the county guesthouse for four years. She stood behind the county leaders and poured wine like stars in the sky, and she couldn't count them. She usually paid great attention to the leaders coming and going, and she was also influenced by a lot in silence.

Secretary Pu and others only thought that Chuntian was a staff member of the county party committee, and they were not surprised to see that she was dealing properly. Hou Weidong knew the details of spring, and saw that he toasted each other with the town leaders generously, and said to himself: "The girl in Chuntian is really smart. If she could have a platform, she should be very capable."

Zhu Mei has been sitting next to Hou Weidong. She was disabled. Secretary Du Bing had already taken a chance to say hello to Secretary Park. Therefore, Secretary Park and other town leaders did not toast Zhu Mei. Zhu Mei quietly drank soup and ate vegetables, and watched everyone stand up and sit down.

After drinking a bottle of wine, everyone was still unsatisfied. Secretary Park had a good alcohol tolerance, but he wanted to put on his face. His face was flushed and his forehead was covered with sweat. He said, "Secretary Hou is really a huge amount. Open another bottle." Hou Weidong drank two taels of wine, but his body didn't feel anything. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, it's just the last bottle."

After two bottles of wine were finished, Secretary Park wanted to persuade him. Hou Weidong said seriously: "I'll look for a night that day and put down the things in my hands. Everyone drinks happily. I think Secretary Park has a good alcohol tolerance. Mayor Liu is not allowed to help. We will compete alone."

These words were filled with a sense of family, and with the help of alcohol, they were kind and natural. Secretary Park wiped the hot sweat from his face and said, "How dare I compete with Secretary Hou and be willing to give in."

Everyone talked and laughed for a few words. Seeing that the time was almost right, Hou Weidong said, "Let's go to Yinliangba outside to sit for a while."

The landlord quickly placed several benches under the tree, soaked eagle tea, and grabbed fried peanuts. Hou Weidong sat around with three party and government leaders of Feishi Town. His face became solemn and said, "The provincial government has issued a document on rectifying phosphate ore. Have you studied this matter?"

At this time, there was a formal response. Secretary Park sat upright and cleared his throat. He reported: "Feishi Town is the three major phosphate mine towns in the county. The town attaches great importance to this rectification. After the county held a rectification meeting, it immediately held a joint meeting of the party and government to study this matter specifically."

"Well, let's talk about it more specifically."

Secretary Pu already understood that Hou Weidong's trip was for the remediation of phosphate ores. He had long studied this and was not panicked. He said: "There were 16 large and small phosphate ores in Feishi Town. In the past, there were two enterprises under the town government. After the reform, all enterprises were private enterprises with independent profit and loss. These sixteen enterprises can be considered as medium or above, including Shunyong Phosphorus Mine and Yongfa Mine. The other ten are small phosphate ores. Small phosphate ores are divided into two situations. One is complete with certificates and licenses, and there are also six, and there are four without any procedures at all."

Hou Weidong stared at Secretary Park and said, "If it is really a matter of closing, stopping, and transferring, what problems will happen? I want to hear the real situation."

When the former mayor Liu Yonggang was still in power, Secretary Pu basically could not command these phosphate mines. Since Liu Yonggang was dismissed and transferred for the prostitution case, he gradually improved his relationship with the owner of the phosphate mine. These phosphate mines are the source of wealth in Feishi Town. He basically settled his position and did not want to remediate phosphate mines on a large scale.

Secretary Pu looked puzzled and said, "From the situation I came into contact with, it is very difficult. First, there is too much money for technical transformation, and no phosphate mine is willing to pay. Second, many villagers in this town work in small phosphate mines. Turning off the phosphate mine will cut off the villagers' resources."

"Anyway, this matter is too wide and it's difficult."

Seeing that Secretary Pu was flinched, Hou Weidong said firmly: "This is the decision of the provincial government. No matter how difficult it is, it must be carried out. With the county party committee and county government station for you, I believe that the party and government team of Feishi Town can do a good job in the rectification work."

The mayor Li Jianguo looked at Secretary Park's face and said nothing.

"I will also talk about the county's plans here. Feishi Town is one of the three towns of phosphate ore. This time it will be used as a pilot town for the remediation of phosphate ore. All departments in the county will collectively consult Feishi Phosphorus and formulate detailed and reliable strategies. It is necessary to succeed in the first battle."

Speaking of this, Secretary Pu had no choice but to express his opinion, saying: "Secretary Hou, since the county party committee and government trust us, we will do our best to do the rectification work."

Hou Weidong immediately corrected: "It's not about doing his best, but about doing his best. The county party committee and government have high hopes for the party and government team of Feishi Town."

When leaving Feishi Town, Secretary Pu reported to Hou Weidong alone, saying: "Feshi Town is a large town of phosphate mines. Many town cadres have close ties with phosphate mines, which is not conducive to the next step of rectification work. In order to facilitate the development of rectification work, I want to transfer some cadres out of Feishi Town."

"You report this matter directly to Minister Song, and she will give full consideration to it. I only have one requirement, and everything is based on the starting point of benefiting the rectification work."

Hou Weidong said again: "The county party committee will formulate policies and any outstanding contributions to the rectification activities will be considered in many aspects such as posting, transfer, and learning."

The last sentence made Secretary Park feel moved. He has worked at the grassroots level for twenty years. In recent years, as he grew older, his heart for promotion has gradually faded. He is now thinking about transferring to the city to work in the department. This time, the phosphate mine is the best opportunity to show himself in front of Hou Weidong.

It was already evening when Hou Weidong and his party returned to the county party committee guesthouse.

When he returned home, Hou Weidong had the time to appreciate Zhu Mei's paintings. He had known Zhu Mei for several years. When the two of them communicated with each other, Zhu Mei would send some small paintings from time to time. However, he had always been in the impression of Zhu Mei's paintings when he was a little girl painting a beautiful woman.

At this time, I saw the painting on the mountain in Feishi Town. The brushwork was so strong, the spirit was majestic, and the feeling of vicissitudes and sadness were very different. This was extremely inconsistent with Zhu Mei's age, gender and experience. However, thinking about the fact that she was disabled, she felt relieved.

There is also a sketch of Zhu Mei's painting "The Tomb of the Young Intellectual Xiang Yong". The cemetery is surrounded by weeds, and there are several big trees next to it. The weeds and trees are moving with the wind. This painting reflects the sadness deep in Zhu Mei's heart in this painting in the form of a cemetery, which inadvertently makes the picture feel a bit vicissitudes, and it is also very consistent with the emotions Wu Ying came to the tomb.

Looking at this painting, Hou Weidong seemed to hear the whistling sound of the mountain wind.

"Give this painting to me." Hou Weidong sent a text message. During this day, he sent some text messages from time to time, and his speed increased unknowingly. Of course, it was much worse than Zhu Mei's ten fingers.

"Of course, but this is just a sketch. I'll draw another one for you." Zhu Mei was very happy with Hou Weidong's request.

Hou Weidong did not tell Zhu Mei about the origin of the cemetery. Zhu Mei had no idea about that period of history, so it was not easy to send a text message to explain it clearly. So he sent it over and joked: "You will become a great painter in the future. This painting will definitely be valuable, so I will collect it first."
