The Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau has not conducted in-depth research on rural non-source pollution issues and is also unfamiliar with small rural sewage treatment systems. Suddenly, he heard Mayor Hou ask about it and was a little confused.

After Lao Peng, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, hurried back to the office to convene various departments for consultation, he urgently connected with the relevant households of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department. Only then did he realize that Mayor Hou’s words were true. Indeed, the Provincial Environmental Protection Department recently targeted rural non-point source pollution. The state and the province had funds, and of course they also needed local support.

After getting the exact news, Guan Yuanyue quickly reported to Hou Weidong.

When Hou Weidong received the reply, he raised his watch and looked at it. It was just 26 minutes. He was quite satisfied with the response speed of the Environmental Protection Bureau and said, "Today you are making preparations. You don't have time to do a project feasibility study report, but you have to come up with the basic situation of non-point source pollution in rural Maoyun, especially the non-point source pollution in urban riverside areas. My idea is to strive for the understanding and support of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department and build the settlement areas in the riverside areas."

Guan Yuanyue said: "Let's take out the report as soon as possible."

Hou Weidong interrupted: "It's not as soon as possible. Even if you stay up late, you have to take it out tomorrow. Director Zhao and I will contact him and meet him at his office at 11:00 tomorrow morning. Director Guan and Director Peng will come to participate."

After arranging the meeting with Director Zhao, Hou Weidong took the phone back to Guan Haiyang and Zhu Xiaoyong's tables.

Guan Haiyang said: "Weidong is really dedicated. Many mayors break down these things to the deputy mayor, and the top leader supervises and inspects them so that they can advance or retreat."

Compared with Hou Weidong, Guan Haiyang is a veteran department-level official who is close to relegation to the second line. Therefore, he became very free and easy when talking to Hou Weidong, and it tasted like a return to nature.

Hou Weidong didn't play with the silence in front of the old seniors. He said: "I just came to Maoyun to work, and my foothold was not stable and I was not enough. If I were in charge of the government, there would be no big problem. However, it would be difficult to say whether I could really do a good job. I have not yet reached the level of planning and winning thousands of miles."

Guan Haiyang said: "This is the sharpness of young leading cadres. We are already in a deep state."

Hou Weidong's words were true, but he only said half of the truth, and the more critical part was not said. He had an opinion on the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Duan Yiyong to vigorously develop the Nancheng, but as a member of the leadership group, he must obey the decision of the Standing Committee. While obeying, he still tried his best to use the resources he could gain to promote the construction of the North City in an orderly manner. The municipal government is different from the county government. The financial market is much larger, and it does not hinder the construction of the North City while developing the Nancheng.

Especially with the large investment in various projects in the country and Lingxi Province, many projects have been promoted from municipal governments to policy promotion, which has become a task that Maoyun City has to complete.

Hou Weidong always remembered the situation when County Mayor Yang Senlin took office. At that time, he warned himself to avoid such a state of being too tough and sharp on the outside. Instead, he was a more rational, gentler and more powerful way to achieve his strategic goals.

Politics must be compromised.

Compromise is not cowardice, but another form of perseverance.

After breaking up with Guan Haiyang, Zhu Ziyong and Zhu Liang, Hou Weidong did not return to Maodong, but stood by the reservoir and called his wife first.

"Husband, where are you? Why do you have the leisure to call me?" Xiaojia used to work in a municipal department. She mainly focused on business and was relatively simple. Now she is the deputy county magistrate in charge of culture, education and health, and she is plagued by all kinds of trivial matters every day. She is so busy that she turns dizzy, and still feels like things are piled up.

Hou Weidong bent down and picked up a stone, dripped a water dripped, and said, "I'm in Bayi Reservoir, I didn't do anything, I dripped some wine. I'm dripped a water dripped a water dripped."

Xiaojia said with emotion: "You mayor should be in the office to spend a lot of money. You are worried about money, so why do you still have the leisure to hide in the Bayi Reservoir to get water?"

Hou Weidong said: "This is the result of cultivation. If you become the county party secretary at the age of 28, you will probably be wasted somewhere at this time."

The couple chatted on the phone for a few words and felt very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Hou Weidong felt a little restless. After walking around the lake, he called Chu Xiuhong's phone number.

"Xiu Hong, how is Governor Zhou?"

Chu Xiuhong's voice was very low and said, "The situation is not very good. I have returned to Lingxi this morning and stayed in the First Hospital."

Hou Weidong understood the reason for his restlessness and said, "I am in the west of the mountain, is it convenient to come here?"

Chu Xiuhong said: "Governor Zhou is unwilling to see other guests. Mayor Hou is not an outsider and can come over at any time."

Hou Weidong squatted by the lake, washed his hands, and took a bus to the Provincial People's Hospital.

In the past two years, I have been to the Provincial People's Hospital a lot, and when I enter the hospital, I feel familiar with it. It is not a good thing for Hou Weidong. When I walk to the ward, the unique smell of the hospital is coming to my face. It is not the smell of disinfectant, but a unique emotion of the hospital that is floating in the air.

Chu Xiuhong stood in front of the ward, looking at Hou Weidong. During this period, Chu Xiuhong was obviously thinner, his hair was a little messy, and his beard turned black and blue on his chin. His previous image was a little bit like a little, and his silence and steadyness were forced by the environment. Now that people become haggard, they really have a deep temperament of a man, and it comes from the heart.

Hou Weidong asked: "Is it serious?"

Chu Xiuhong said: "It's very serious."

When Hou Weidong opened the door, he understood what "very serious" means. Zhou Changquan was originally thin and a typical "people with muscles and bones", but he was so thin that he was so thin that he was so thin that he was elegant. At this time, Zhou Changquan's spirit completely collapsed, and there seemed to be only a piece of skin left on his face. His bones were covered with clothes, and he was very vivid with skin. His face showed a faint green color and his lower abdomen swelled.

After his mother got sick, Hou Weidong had made up for a lot of cancer knowledge. Seeing Zhou Changquan's condition, he realized that Zhou Changquan's liver was swallowed by cancer and the condition was difficult to control.

Zhou Changquan sat up with the help of his lover, closed his eyes and rested for a moment before he said to Hou Weidong: "Wei Dong, I'm not long." When he said this, his expression was very calm, just like presided over the Standing Committee in Shazhou and making judgments on major decisions.

Hou Weidong said against his will: "Governor Zhou, we cannot give up, miracles will always happen."

Zhou Changquan leaned against the bed and said, "No need to comfort me. Now I rely on painkillers to barely feel pain."

Hou Weidong said: "Does it hurt?"

Zhou Changquan closed his eyes for a while and said, "It hurts very much, it pierces the heart and sucks the bones."

Zhou Changquan's condition worsened and he lie on the bed and rarely spoke. Seeing that his father's spirit improved, Da Zhou quickly took another handful of medicine and said, "Dad, I've taken the medicine."

Zhou Changquan said, "After taking it," he took the pills, and said, "My life has been completed, and looking back on this life. Overall, it is still satisfactory. It is not easy for a rural child to be the vice governor."

Seeing that his father was willing to talk to his former secretary, Dazhou gave his mother a look and the two left the room.

"Your dad said so much, it will hurt again later."

"Mom, my father will feel pain even if he doesn't speak. He is willing to talk to Hou Weidong. Let him have a good time." Da Zhou smoked a cigarette hard and said, "I really shouldn't go to the United States in recent years. I have had little contact with my father. I don't know what he is thinking about. I don't usually feel that it's difficult for us father and son to communicate in the hospital this time. Instead, when Hou Weidong comes, my father has a conversation. I hope that time can be back a few years and I can stay by my father's side. Now I have no chance to do a little filial piety."

"You still don't know your father. He doesn't want his sons to be by his side. He wants you to be successful in your career. He has been a career person all his life. If a rural child is not obsessed with doing career, he can't become a governor."

Da Zhou was deeply trapped in sorrow. But he still wanted to comfort his mother and said, "Mom, you must be mentally prepared. The doctor said it is possible at any time."

"As soon as a person dies, I can also think about it." Da Zhou's mother has grown up nearly ten years old, her hair has turned completely white, and her expression seems more calm.

In the ward, Zhou Changquan recovered his energy a little, looked at his slightly bulging abdomen with calm eyes, and said, "Don't comfort me, I know the condition. When my health was okay some time ago, I also paid attention to reading news about Maoyun, studied Maoyun's decision, and it was inappropriate to develop Nancheng."

Hou Weidong did not expect that Zhou Changquan was still concerned about Maoyun at this time, and he was very moved. He did not tell lies in front of the old leader and said, "I do not agree with the large-scale demolition in Nancheng from the bottom of my heart. It will inevitably be large-scale demolition. Maoyun was originally a city with a relatively large gap between the rich and the poor. It was not worried about poverty but unevenness. The risk of demolition was too great. However, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Duan Yiyong was vigorously promoting the Nancheng project. As the new mayor, I have to implement the decision of the municipal party committee."

Zhou Changquan said: "According to your nature, you won't just let it go?"

Hou Weidong: "Urban construction is the same as water control. It is better to be diluted than blocked. I am not learning from the old leaders, setting up a new stove, avoiding demolition conflicts, and improving the living environment of citizens."

Zhou Changquan leaned his head against the back of the bed and said, "North City is not suitable for building a city."

Hou Weidongdao: "This view is a traditional view. I want to use comprehensive means to borrow funds from the state and province for the renovation of old mining areas and bank loans to build the abandoned mines in Beicheng into a mining park. The large area of ​​useless state-owned land around it will appreciate immediately. As long as the funds are in place, there will be basically no resistance to the renovation of Beicheng, and it will definitely be built into a first-class urban area."

Zhou Changquan nodded and said, "If you have this idea, I feel relieved. In fact, I went to Shanghai, Ruhr District, Germany, and Cornwall, England a year ago. They are your idea." He took a short rest and said, "I am useless in Lingxi. Your life may become a little difficult in the future. The only way out is to have outstanding political achievements."

After saying a long passage, the pain came quietly again. He did not take any more turns and said, "Developing Beicheng is a major project. You have to bring the Great Zhou with you. He is a doctor of overseas returnees, but he is not as good as you. I don't worry if I hand him over to you."

This is the second time that Zhou Changquan talked about this matter to Hou Weidong. This conversation has the meaning of entrusting an orphan in Baidi City.

When leaving the hospital, Hou Weidong was in a heavy mood. A respected and familiar old leader was about to leave the world where he was very attached. No matter how big the official position or the amount of money he had, he could not save his life.

After driving back to Maoyun, Hou Weidong walked alone onto the hills that separated the South City and the North City, and remained silent for a long time.
