Looking at these people in the office, Chang Ning's heart was cool and cold, this is a revolutionary team that leads the cadres and masses of the whole commune to move forward bravely, it is simply a remnant of the defeated generals in the flow of people, however, he has to pretend to be fearless, leader, Taishan collapsed in front and did not change, Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Wang made a military order, and if you want to die or live, you have to fight hard to talk about it.

Dinner was made by the old immortal Wang Shi, the potatoes of the next year were as hard as stones, and the egg soup for one person and one bowl did not have a little oil shade, and Huang Xiaodong rolled his eyes when he ate it, the only good thing was that Wang Shi contributed two catties of old wine, which made the men's faces a little bloody.

Needless to say, the old immortal Wang Shi knows him better than his grandfather in some aspects, he is just an old fritter who is a monk for a day and rings the bell for a day, he is about to retire age, and he is always a person who always walks around when he encounters problems, his nephew Wang Junqing is similar in age to Huang Xiaodong, and he is an honest man by looking at his face, at least he has inherited Wang Shi's glorious tradition of being good at being angry, but it seems that his heart and eyes are not as good as Huang Xiaodong.

Water conservancy worker Yu Tinghua is only in his thirties this year, he looks like an old farmer in his forties and fifties, with a dark face and messy hair, which looks like an intellectual young man from the provincial capital, his wife Yu Jin is a little better, a doctor in the commune health center and a family planning administrator of the commune, and there is still the breath of an urban woman, because she returned to the city and returned to the countryside to follow her husband, which made Chang Ning admire in his heart, I heard that Yu Tinghua's father was an old rightist, and he didn't know where to go out of the fork, and he has not been rehabilitated so far. Therefore, regardless of whether Yu Tinghua is willing to return to the city or not, it is difficult for him to get ahead for the time being, but fortunately, he is still serious and responsible for his own work.

The woman who sat at the door without saying a word, Du Qiulan, the grain manager, always maintained an indifferent and cold expression, and only nodded a little to the new leader, not even a word of welcome, which made Chang Ning feel depressed in his heart, whether he was not entertained, or this woman was born cold-blooded, I heard Wang Shi say that this woman is like the air in the courtyard of the commune, she can't see or touch it, and she has a cold face to everyone, damn it, how can such a person be a cadre, it is said that he has stayed in the Qingzhou Prefectural Party Committee. It seems that because of the problem of style, he was sent to the countryside, Chang Ning secretly took a few looks, and it was really beautiful, looking twenty-seven or eighteen years old, quite thin, white skin, a kind of sickly beauty.

As for Luo Tiegui, the Minister of Armed Forces sitting beside him, he has long been thunderous for Chang Ning, a famous combat hero on the southern Xinjiang front, who is the battalion commander in the army, after his triumphant return, on the eve of being promoted to the chief of staff of the regiment, it was revealed that he personally shot and killed the prisoner, and the image of the hero immediately came to naught, and the greatest military exploits could not stop the fate of taking off his beloved military uniform. There are many demobilized soldiers who are the first and second leaders of the commune, only he became the acting minister of the armed forces department of the commune, and he reluctantly became a member of the commune party committee at the beginning of this year.

They are all unlucky people, Chang Ning sighed in his heart while smoking a cigarette, politics may be like this, in the unstoppable rolling torrent, it is easier for unlucky people to get together in kind, Luo Tie Guiyu Tinghua's sincerity and persistence aroused a rare pride in him.

"Secretary Chang, I'm sorry for you," Luo Tiegui said, "A few potatoes, a bowl of egg soup and a glass of old wine, this welcome banquet is too shabby." ”

Chang Ning smiled slightly, "Lao Luo, in this difficult situation in front of me, if you don't let me go hungry, you can burn high incense, I am not a golden branch and jade leaf, I also went out to eat back then, let's not pay attention to these things." ”

Luo Tiegui smiled heartily, "Secretary Chang, before you came, I was the temporary person in charge of the commune, and now there are just a few people, I will hand over this burden to you." ”

"Wait, wait," Chang Ning shook his hand and smiled, "Lao Luo, you are called by the permanent secretary and permanent secretary, I sound a little awkward, and I feel uncomfortable, let me declare, everyone will still call me by my name in the future, I listen to it comfortably." ”

Wang Shile said: "Then I can call you a little half-immortal." ”

Chang Ning waved his hand and said: "Comrades, when I came, Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Wang repeatedly told me that the current priority of our Shuiyang Commune is to fight drought and provide disaster relief, and other things are temporarily put aside, according to the latest report of the meteorological department, it will only be possible for God to rain in two months, therefore, the top priority now is to find water and food, how easy is the food problem, the county party committee and county government have prepared 300,000 catties of relief grain for our commune, and we will send people to pull it, but no one can help us with the water problem, We can only solve it on our own. ”

Luo Tiegui spread his hands and said with a gloomy face: "You are from us here, you all know the basic situation, our Shuiyang Commune has a wide mountain and high ground, there are only stones and no water underground, you are the leader, what to do next, we listen to you." ”

Glancing at the few people present, Chang Ning said: "Well, comrades, we can be regarded as being driven ducks on the shelf, but we don't have three heads and six arms, but we are still mentally prepared to share weal and woe with everyone, then I am welcome." ”

Chang Ning got up and walked to the desk, spread out a crumpled map, leaned over and said while looking at it: "I'm not worried about the seven brigades in Daqingshan, I have been in the mountains for a few years, and the people there are the most vigorous, Comrade Lao Yu, the two of you will withdraw first, Lao Yu will replace Lao Luo, responsible for the drought relief of the six brigades in the western area, Doctor Yu and Comrade Du Qiulan, you are in charge of the seven brigades in Shuiyang Street, let Wang Wenshu cooperate with your work, Comrade Wang Junqing is still in charge of the five brigades in the northern area, I asked Comrade Huang Xiaodong to assist you, starting tomorrow, you will closely rely on the party members and cadres of each brigade to find out the actual situation of each piece from door to door, that is, the four items of water, food, firewood and people, and I hope to see the detailed report sent by you in three days. ”

Luo Tiegui asked, "Secretary Chang, no, Chang Ning, what is my task?" ”

Chang Ning said seriously: "Minister Luo, we are here on the front line of coastal defense, and we still maintain the structure of a militia battalion, I now order you as the acting secretary of the commune party committee and the instructor of the commune militia battalion, within three days, you have to pull up a militia team that can fight at any time, the number of people must reach at least three hundred, xx party members, xx regiment members, especially veterans to become the backbone of this team, in order to make a big noise, I order to open the arsenal, Pull out all those rusty iron guys. ”

Luo Tiegui perked up and asked after a while, "Then, does the county party committee agree with us to do it, do you want to make a formal resolution in the name of the commune party committee?" ”

"Extraordinary times, Comrade Luo Tiegui," Chang Ning's eyes widened, patted the table and said, "Emperor Shan Gao is far away, this is an extraordinary period, the party committee is me, I am the party committee, it is so decided, I am responsible for anything else." ”
