During such a long holiday during the Spring Festival, the employees of various departments of the Far Eastern Company can rest to their heart's content, but for the leaders and heads of various departments of the company, it is not so easy.

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, several members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors of the company and many members of the board of directors have begun to take airships to the company's grassroots units and troops to offer condolences, and they have been busy until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

The members of the Standing Committee of the Far Eastern Company went to various places to express their condolences, and only allowed a few local principal responsible persons to accompany them, and it was strictly forbidden to influence other employees of the company to take vacations, so as to prevent the emergence of leaders who came, causing the local people to be like facing a great enemy and making chickens and dogs restless, which is also the tradition of the Far Eastern Company.

Li Ming stepped down from the airship, and Hu Wei, who had been waiting here, greeted him with a smile, grabbed Li Ming's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Welcome the Chiefs to the Hetao Base Area ......"

Li Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Old Hu, you are scolding me......"

Hu Wei laughed when he heard it: "Haha...... Walk...... I'll take you to various places for a walk, and now the construction of the Hetao base area is good. Since Xiao Liang came, not to mention anything else, life in the base area is much better now. ”

The two of them chatted as they walked, followed only by their respective secretaries and guards, and without any entourage. The two left their secretaries and guards at the entrance of the village, and first went to a grassroots detachment in the Hetao base area and knocked on the door of a farmer's household.

The door opened, and a farmer about forty years old saw Li Ming and Hu Wei standing at the door, and was suddenly stunned. He didn't know Hu Wei, but he was the first to come to the Hetao base area, and he was still familiar with Li Ming.

He pointed at Li Ming with his big mouth open, and then stumbled and said, "Are you ...... You are Chief Li, oh my God, old woman, Chief Li is here......"

A middle-aged woman and two and a half children. ran out of the house in a hurry, and saw Li Ming standing there with a smile, and he was stunned for a moment. But she immediately reflected and slapped the gentlemen at home.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and let the chief into the house......"

The farmer reacted and hurriedly invited Li Ming and Hu Wei into the house. The family was in a hurry to wipe the table and boil water, and they were so busy that they were sweating profusely.

Li Ming and Hu Wei took off their coats, looked at the situation in the house, and found that the temperature in the house was not bad, at least 18 degrees or more. Hu Wei also reached out and touched the kang under the felt, and his hands were still slightly hot.

The two members of the peasant family brought water to Li Ming and Hu Wei, and the two were very nervous, and the best teacups in the house were also two coarse porcelain broken bowls, which they were reluctant to use on weekdays. And there is not even tea at home.

Although the farmer's house is simple, it also pays attention to face, and if the guests come to the house, if the hospitality is not good, they will feel unhappy. Especially the leaders of the Hetao base area, they are everyone's life-saving benefactors.

But to their surprise, Li Ming and Hu Wei did not show anything wrong, and drank it with their heads up. Li Ming wiped his mouth. said with a smile: "I haven't been back to Hetao for a long time, and I still feel that the water here is delicious......

The two members of the peasant family listened. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly refilled the water for the two chiefs.

Li Ming and Hu Wei kept chatting with the two of them, asking them about their production and life, and the two of them did not have the nervousness at the beginning, and gradually talked more, and thanked the Hetao base for saving their family. The atmosphere in the house was very nice.

After a while, people kept coming to the courtyard of this farmer, all of whom were grassroots cadres of the local detachment and brigade, and the courtyard was also surrounded by other farmers in the squadron.

Hu Wei saw that the room was crowded with a group of cadres, and hurriedly said, "Okay." We're just going to just come down and take a walk, and you all go back and take a vacation, don't get here. ”

After he finished speaking, he said to the farmer: "Brother, the two of us want to have a meal at your house tonight, okay?" ”

When the two members of the peasant family heard this, their faces were immediately full of surprise, but they immediately said with a bitter face: "Chief, you can eat at our house, that is the blessing we have cultivated for several lifetimes, but ...... But there's nothing good at home, I ...... I'm afraid the chief won't get used to it, I'm ......"

Hu Wei laughed and said: "Look at what you said, we still want to eat some farmhouse taste, brother, don't be reluctant." ”

The detachment leader next to him hurriedly said: "Chief, let's go to our detachment headquarters to eat, and we will arrange dinner for you immediately......

Li Ming interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "Lao Hu and I want to celebrate the New Year with their family today, so don't get involved." Let's all go and get busy, have you forgotten the discipline of the company? ”

After he finished speaking, he said to the two trembling farmers next to him: "Brother, you two have to show us a hand today......

After listening to Li Ming's words, the peasant shouted excitedly: "Alas...... If the chief doesn't dislike it, then we'll show both hands, and it's all the vulgar stuff of the peasants......"

After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately went to the outhouse to work, they were very excited, such a big leader can eat at their house, what a big face, and they will feel more face-saving in the detachment in the future.

The cadres of several detachments and brigades are now very embarrassed, but there are two great gods Hu Wei and Li Ming sitting in the room, and they are not going to go.

Hu Wei saw a few people fidgeting, so he smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, don't feel uncomfortable, we are not the official of the Ming Dynasty, and we will make an earth-shattering situation wherever we go." You don't have to worry, as long as you do your work well, it is the greatest support for our Far East Company, and there is no need to think nonsense.

We can't trouble the local grassroots units when we go down to the grassroots level, this is a regulation formulated by the board of directors of the company, and it is definitely not a decoration. We want to celebrate the New Year with ordinary farmers in the base area during the Spring Festival. You have also been busy for a year, and you all go back to accompany your family well, and since you are our cadres in the Far East, you will put away the set of the master of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Ming also smiled and said: "We just chatted with the elder brother of this family, and the farmers here are very satisfied with their current lives, which shows that your work has been affirmed by the grassroots people." How well you do your work is not judged by us leaders at higher levels, but by the reputation of the grassroots masses.

Okay, you all go back, and the cadres on duty will follow. You have mobilized the masses in this way, so that the common people at the grassroots level can see our cadres in the Far East. You go back and have a good New Year, and let us spend a good New Year here with the farmers in the base area. (To be continued.) )
