After sending off a group of reporters, Chang Ning continued his trip to the countryside, not knowing the responsibility of not being at home, this time going to the countryside was different from the past, he was attentive, and he didn't dare to let himself go into the form.

Of course, he still maintains his unique style, where the poorest people go, where the cadres below don't want him to go, he goes there in a hurry, and never lets the cadres below lead the nose.

The off-road vehicle is running on the provincial highway back to Jinjiang City, and the people in the car are like arrows, Li Zhouteng's wife is about to give birth, and Ling Xiao has to prepare for the wedding during the Spring Festival.

Chang Ning himself smelled the smell of the Spring Festival, from the bacon hanging in the yard of the farmhouse, from the New Year's songs sung by the children, from the calls from his mother and wife.

In seven days, traveling 1,000 kilometers, and visiting more than 100 villages in 29 townships and towns in seven counties and districts, Li Zhouteng, who was traveling with him, handed his diary to Chang Ning and said that he asked the leader to correct it.

"'Diary of going to the countryside', on the eve of the Spring Festival, I will record the whole process of going to the countryside for seven days with my leaders......" Chang Ning read it and said happily, "Li Zhouteng, what are you going to do, do you need the secret to sing praises for yourself?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Li Zhouteng smiled and said, "Leader, I really have this idea. ”

"Oh, what do you want to do?" Chang Ning asked as he watched.

"I have a classmate who works in the provincial newspaper, and I want to publish my diary in both the provincial newspaper and the city newspaper."

Chang Ning scolded with a calm face: "Damn, Li Zhouteng, you dare, those reporters want to harm me, and you kid also want to rebel." ”

"Leader, do you listen to me?" Li Zhouteng said aggrievedly.

"If you can't explain it, I'll use your diary as a butt wipe." Chang Ning frightened.

"Leader, I think so, those reporters have been with you for two days, and I don't know what they will write after they go back, their pen can't reflect the real situation of Jinjiang and your work ideas, if you publish it, I'm afraid it will affect your image, they can post whatever they want, and sometimes they will change what the interviewee said at will according to the editor's intentions, so, so I think you just took office, which will be unfavorable to you, and my diary, like a narrative, seeks truth from facts, A true and objective reflection of your work may be able to offset the negative impact they have on you. ”

Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, "Yo, it makes sense, then tell me, what do you say in your diary?" ”

Throwing the diary to the seat next to him, Chang Ning lit a cigarette, he didn't bother to look at it carefully, he looked at the printed documents, not to mention Li Zhouteng's cursive body.

"There are several contents in my diary, first of all, the whole path and process of going to the countryside, specifically recording where you have been, who you have seen, and why you want to go to which places, secondly, it reflects the real situation of our rural areas in Jinjiang City, on the one hand, it is poor and backward, on the other hand, it is pregnant with vigorous vitality, and thirdly, from your actions and words along the way, it not only reflects your love and concern for the countryside, agriculture, and farmers, but also reflects your work ideas as the acting mayor, fourth, in summary, The image of a young cadre in the new period is coming out, which fully reflects the spiritual outlook of the contemporary youth......"

Chang Ning scratched his head and smiled: "So, you are praising me positively, it seems that I have to issue you a pass." ”

"Leader, you are now a middle and senior cadre, and it is very important to grasp the guidance of public opinion." Li Zhouteng said.

When Chang Ning heard this, he scolded again, "Damn, it's also a middle and senior cadre, I've been scared by the sharp peppers of the villagers along the way, alas, I haven't eaten enough, Ling Xiao, after returning to Jinjiang, I will find a restaurant first, I have to eat a good meal first." ”

Li Zhouteng and Ling Xiao looked at each other, and the leaders were afraid of the stinky problem of chili peppers, and it seemed that they couldn't change it.

"I approved it, you take it back and change it yourself, but I have three requirements, one is that it must be published in the near future, the second is that the time drags on for a long time, and the third is that it must not be added to the vinegar."

Li Zhou Teng responded: "Leader, you can rest assured that I will do things." ”

Ling Xiao asked, "Brother Li, do you have my name?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"Of course, it doesn't need to be said, threesomes are an inseparable whole, I will write about you, but you are a supporting character."

Chang Ning suddenly asked, "Hey, Zhou Teng, what did you just say about the axe, what does the axe mean?" ”

Li Zhouteng said: "The axe is the meaning of correctness, the axe of the axe, the positive of the front, and the words Taijian, Junjian, Jiaozheng, Haihan and other words, are commonly used in the exchange between ancient literati. ”

"Damn, I'm not a literati, and you're at most a literati, what are you doing with all those sour things, do you stink, be careful that I smoke you."

"Hehe, I'll review, I'll review to the leader."

Chang Ning asked lightly: "Tell me, where does the word axe come from?" ”

"This is a fable about a man named Yingren, who accidentally got a lime spot on his nose when he was painting the wall, as thin as a fly's wings, and he knew that another man named Craftsman Stone would play with the trick of an axe, so he let him carry it into the wind, that is, he danced the axe like a wind, and shaved off the lime spot with a click, and his nose would not hurt, and Yingren was not disgraced, and he was not afraid at all, and then the king of a country heard about this very rare, and he was very bored and wanted to find some excitement, so he made some lime in his nose and let the Craftsman Stone come." Fortune into the wind", the craftsman replied, I used to know this unique job, but now I can't play, because the Yingren who cooperated with me has passed away, and the idiom is the story of the wind, and the descendants will extend it to revise the article and call it the axe. ”

Chang Ning listened to it and grinned, "I have heard that if it is a communication between classmates or people of the same level, it is necessary to use words such as elegance or correction, and the younger generation presents it to the elders, or the students present it to the teacher, the beginner presents the expert, and the author presents the editor, and the word axe is generally used for the communication between people of the same level, hehe, Li Zhouteng, Li Zhouteng, you cow, the cow nose sticks green onions, pretends to be an elephant, and dares to have an equal dialogue with the middle and senior cadres of my party." ”

Li Zhou froze, "No, leader, are you bluffing me again?" ”

"Well, make a bet, if you use the word axe correctly, I invite you and Ling Xiao to go to Guiyuan Restaurant for a meal, you lose, clean up my house once, Ling Xiao, you be the middleman." Chang Ning said.

Li Zhouteng said: "Bet on it, this time I have to win." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and the dusty off-road vehicle turned into the downtown area of Jinjiang, crossed the Jinjiang Bridge in the cold wind, and entered the lively and bustling Binjiang Avenue in Jinnan District.

Li Zhouteng glanced out of the car window, "Leader, something is wrong." ”

Chang Ning closed his eyes and said, "What's wrong? It's not right to go back to Jinjiang City, find a small restaurant and fill your stomach first. ”

Ling Xiao also said: "No, the streets are full of police, hey, there are people with guns." ”

Chang Ning was unmoved, and said with a grunt: "What a fuss, it must be Director Wu Guilong who is engaged in a strike hard campaign, you haven't seen it." ”

The roadside restaurant is Chang Ning's favorite place, he got out of the car, and sure enough, he saw that there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and there were many more policemen who were not smiling, this riverside avenue was facing the street and facing the river, with a total length of 2.3 kilometers, it was the most lively street in Jinjiang City, how could this Wu Guilong drive away passers-by and tourists.

The three of them each asked for hot egg noodles, and in a blink of an eye, Chang Ning was already half a bowl of noodles, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the little boss of the noodle restaurant: "Hello, this boss, how is the business?" ”

The owner of the noodle restaurant is a middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Business is good, but the past two days have been a little bad." ”

As soon as he heard the accent of the noodle shop owner, it was obvious that he was not a local, so Chang Ning asked, "Boss, you are not a local." ”

"This comrade is good hearing, I am not from Jinjiang, I am from Nanpu County, Ansan Province, and I came here half a year ago."

"Oh, I said, such authentic flour, fragrant, tough, chewy, Jinjiang can't produce it." Chang Ning praised while eating, "Boss, you just said that business has been a little bad in the past two days, what's going on, is it the reason for the Chinese New Year, or is it because there are a few more policemen on the street?" ”

The owner of the noodle shop hesitated, looked at Chang Ning and asked, "This comrade, you are not a local either?" ”

Nodding, Chang Ning smiled and said, "I am from Zhijiang Province." ”

The noodle shop owner breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Comrade, let me tell you, you can't say that I said it. ”

"Okay, I promise, I promise not to betray you." Chang Ning put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out a cigarette, handed one to the noodle shop owner, and took one in his mouth.

"Comrade, something happened to the compound of the municipal party committee here, something big happened."

Chang Ning and Li Zhou Teng Ling Xiao were taken aback, the three of them looked at each other, when they came out of Tongshan County the day before yesterday, Li Zhou Teng also called Gu Fangfang, director of the city government office, I didn't hear her say that something happened in the city, but yesterday and this afternoon, they have been drilling in the deep mountains and old forests, Chang Ning and Li Zhou Teng's pagers are out of power, but only a day or two, why did something happen, and something happened?

Li Zhouteng asked: "Boss, don't have any concerns, tell me quickly, what happened to the municipal party committee compound in Jinjiang City?" ”

"I also heard from the customers in the store, I didn't dare to go over to see, I heard that it was from the middle of the night before yesterday, the workers of the Jinjiang Hongxing Machinery Factory suddenly rushed into the compound of the municipal party committee to make trouble, the people of the public security bureau drove them away, but yesterday at noon, thousands of workers of the Hongxing Machinery Factory, rushed over again, surrounded the entire municipal party committee compound, the public security bureau they also transferred thousands of police and militia from the counties, the two sides confronted, it has been a day, I heard that the workers want to see the mayor, but the mayor who has just been appointed, But inexplicably disappeared......"

Without waiting for the owner of the noodle shop to finish speaking, Chang Ning and the three of them rushed out of the noodle shop early.
