On the first night of being an official, Chang Ning spent time in the office, according to the instructions and explanations of the county magistrate Wang, sitting on a rattan chair, on the flickering kerosene lamp, and briefly read the various documents issued on it in the past year, which was really embarrassing for him, who had always had a headache to study documents, sat honestly all night, so that in the long years of politics later, when he saw these serious red-headed documents, he had a headache and irritability, and he would think of the first step of the long march of 10,000 miles.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning penetrated the curtains, Chang Ning stood up and walked outside the door, the young Shuiyang People's Commune head of the family, had no time to worry about his private affairs for the time being.

Shuiyang People's Commune is located in the easternmost part of Qingyang County, Qingzhou District, Zhijiang Province, with an area of 180 square kilometers, and the Daqingshan Mountains account for 80 percent, facing the vast East China Sea but have no chance to eat the sea by the sea, because the average sea dials 1,000 meters in the Daqingshan Mountains in front, the coastline is a cliff of all colors, and the place name Shuiyang does not mean that there is water, it is precisely the people's longing for water that has suffered from ten years of drought and seven years of drought, and there is no water to be extracted under the ground of Shuiyang Commune, which is recognized by geologists. Only in the mountains of Daqingshan there are a few springs that come from nowhere.

The underground is the world of rocks, the geological structure of Daqingshan is also dominated by rocks, and the rest of the land is also dominated by rocks, because of the lack of water, Shuiyang Commune is known as the Saibei of the south of the Yangtze River, there is no arable land that can grow rice, the whole commune is scattered and scattered more than 50,000 acres of dry land, only wheat and potatoes in the first half of the year, sweet potatoes and corn are planted in the second half of the year, relying on the sky to eat, obeying nature, and living and reproducing from generation to generation.

The Qingling Mountain Range, which lies in the eastern and central part of Qingyang County, is a natural barrier separating Shuiyang Commune from the county seat and other areas, and is self-contained with Baishui Commune and Haimen Commune in the southeast, and is called the three "orphans" of Qingyang County.

There are no roads, no electricity, daily communication with the outside world, only a telephone line, and postal communication once or twice a week.

The courtyard of the commune is not big, the small playground is paved with small stones, scattered with many natural stones for people to rest, the bungalow on one side is the canteen and the hall, the bungalow on the other side has the mailroom, the radio station, the agricultural technology station, the power generation room, etc., the main house in the middle is a two-story stone building, the office building below is accommodating, the yard is quiet and peaceful, the green trees are shady, the camphor trees are planted everywhere, the camphor fragrance is overflowing in summer, especially the few hundred-year-old camphor trees, which are the only proud capital of the Shuiyang Commune, I heard that the botanists of the provincial capital have come to investigate.

Looking at the row of red slogans hanging in the corridor on the second floor, Chang Ning couldn't help but be happy, "Fighting with the sky is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fighting with people is endlessly fun. "Damn, this is purely the spirit of Ah Q that Mr. Lu Xun said, people who are willing to fight with heaven and earth, isn't this asking for hardship, hehe, it's almost the same as fighting between people.

Stretching and kicking, comparing a few martial arts routines that were about to be forgotten, Chang Ning saw the sleepy-eyed Wang Shi, on the other side, the petite Du Qiulan walked over with a basin, Chang Ning sat down cross-legged on a stone, and heard Wang Shi ask from afar: "Secretary Chang, what are you happy about?" ”

Pointing to the twenty-one big characters, Chang Ning asked with a smile: "I said that the old man is immortal, at first glance, it is the broken characters you wrote, the calligraphy level has not improved in the slightest for more than 30 years, you are stupid enough, you write the quotations of the great leader so ugly, I think you should be spanked." ”

Wang Shi smiled: "Hehe, I'm at this level, why don't you rewrite it one day as a college student?" ”

"Go, go, our college students' words are very valuable, can't you afford that price," Chang Ning rubbed his hands and laughed embarrassedly, in fact, his words were really not good, and he couldn't handle them at all, "Hey, by the way, what are we going to have for breakfast?" ”

"Stinky boy, now we and Comrade Xiao Du, in order to save water and firewood, we don't light a fire in the morning, and eat raw sweet potatoes from the cellar."

"Alas, damn it, they're all back to the primitive society," Chang Ning smiled bitterly, took out a cigarette and lit it on fire and smoked it, "Come on, this leader doesn't eat raw sweet potatoes anymore, smokes a cigarette for breakfast, and makes a revolution on an empty stomach." ”

Du Qiulan walked up to Chang Ning with a basin, "Secretary Chang, this is your water." ”

Seeing the weak look, Chang Ning hurriedly took it, "Thank you, hey, why is there such a little water?" ”

"Hehe, don't be too little kid," Wang Shi glared at Chang Ning and said, "The water in the commune is all carried back by Wang Junqing from more than ten miles away, and Comrade Xiao Du is responsible for keeping and distributing it, three catties of water per person per day, washing, eating and drinking are included, and your leader is also this standard." ”

Chang Ning shook his head, smiled bitterly, and took a few big sips from the basin, "My God, how do you spend this day, I have to go home today, there is still a lot of water in our house, hehe." ”

When Wang Shi heard this, he hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's not necessarily, your grandfather has so many disciples and grandchildren, and the house must be full of people." ”

"Oh, that's right," Chang Ning was stunned, and when he saw Du Qiulan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, he asked with a slight smile, "Comrade Du Qiulan, do you have anything to say?" ”

Du Qiulan hesitated for a moment and said: "Secretary Chang, I'm sorry, it's like this, I, I've always been in poor health, and I'm not qualified for the work of the village, especially, especially I can't bask in the sun, so, so ......"

"Oh," Chang Ning nodded, "then you don't have to go down, just stay in the commune." ”

Du Qiulan said "thank you", turned around and walked away slowly.

Glancing at Du Qiulan's back, looking at Wang Shi with wide eyes, Chang Ning asked in disbelief: "Old immortal, what's the matter with this woman, there are really people who are afraid of the sun?" ”

"Alas," Wang Shi nodded and sighed, "Comrade Xiao Du is also a poor person, she has a strange disease, she gets dizzy when she sees the sun, let's take care of it as much as we can, anyway, all along, in terms of work arrangement, she is not counted at all." ”

Chang Ning snorted, shrugged his nose suddenly, and pushed away Wang Shi, who was too close, "Go, old immortal, you stay away from me, the smell of sweat all over your body, you want to kill me." ”

"Hehe, I haven't taken a bath for more than ten days," Wang Shi said with a smile, "Stinky boy, in a few days, you will be as stinky as me." ”

"Yes," Chang Ning sighed, lifted his really good shirt and put it on his nose and sniffed it, "Damn, even if mine is the most smelly, it is the smell of college students, the smell of leaders, how can it be compared with your smell." ”

Wang Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You kid can be happy, see if you are still happy in a few days." ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will go straight to the bridge gate," Chang Ning said, "I don't die, I didn't say it in front of Comrade Lao Luo last night, in fact, some time ago, your drought relief work was too ineffective, so it caused a large number of commune members to outflow, hehe, this leader is a minister of the Qincha, holding a three-foot sealed sword, and major events can be cut first and then played, can it be the same as you?" ”

Wang Shi scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are not a relative of the Water Dragon King, look at how you became out of the water." ”

"Yes, yes, the top priority is to find water, water is life," Chang Ning chuckled slyly, "Hehe, old and immortal, normal heart, keep a normal heart, rest assured, give me three days, no more than five days at most, this leader is sitting in the office peacefully, and someone will obediently deliver water to the door." ”

Seeing Chang Ning's confident appearance, Wang Shi was even more amused, "Hehe, worthy of being Chang Daxian's grandson, Xiao Banxian, you just sit here alone and daydream." ”

Pointing to the banner slogan, Chang Ning blinked his eyes and smiled: "Old Immortal, you know a fart, now I order you to go and correct our slogan immediately." ”

Wang Shiqi said, "Oh, okay, I listen to the leader, how do you say to change it?" ”

"Twenty-one big characters, change the words of heaven and earth into human characters, and unify the sentence: fighting with people, the fun is endless, haha, let's not fight with God and the land for the time being, first give full play to the glorious revolutionary tradition of our xx party, and fight with this person."
