In the supply and marketing cooperative, a regular meeting was being held.
Things were discussed one by one. In fact, most of the middle-level and above leaders who participated in this meeting knew that these matters had been reviewed by the director and deputy director, so there would basically be no accidents. The person in charge pointed out Explain the importance of the matter, the funds and manpower required, which department and people are responsible for the specific implementation, and then pass it.
After all the matters were discussed, when the presiding Deputy Director Yu was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting, the newly transferred Deputy Director Liu suddenly coughed lightly and said:
"The main matters are all It’s over. Finally, I’m going to make a digression. It’s a trivial matter.”
This is a small accident, but since it’s an off-topic matter, Deputy Director Yu didn’t stop him and let him talk. .
Deputy Director Liu Shengli was airborne from the Zhoushe. He was twenty-seven or eighty years old. He was young, energetic, and highly motivated to do his work. Old comrades usually had to support him.
“I was assigned to be in charge of human affairs by the organization, so this matter is actually my responsibility. But I just came here, so I think I still have to mention it in the meeting. I will discuss it in our club. The staff checked it out and found out that there was a temporary worker named Li Long who was still not in place. Chief Li, is he yours?"
" Li Xiangqian. Nod.
"Where is he now?"
"I went out to do some business." Li Xiangqian didn't have much respect for the new deputy director, and he used it on himself as soon as he came. After all, he was also an old man. , it’s okay if you communicate in advance, and I’ll give you a good explanation. Are you planning to set me on fire by not saying a word?
"Why are you on a business trip? I asked some people and they said that this person basically doesn't go to work, but the company still gives him a salary and benefits. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." . At that time, it was the decision of our company to let Li Long be this temporary worker. As for why Li Long could be this temporary worker, There is a specific reason. Deputy Director Liu was not here at the time, so it is normal that you don’t know. As for Li Long’s business trip, this is a matter of my purchasing stock. I think if you, Deputy Director Liu, want to know, you will. You can come to me later." Li Xiangqian didn't look at the director's face. He believed that the director's face wouldn't look good either.
It’s just that the director can’t argue with the deputy director at this meeting. After all, even if there are conflicts between leaders, they usually communicate in private. If the director and deputy director quarreled during the meeting, it would be a big deal. If the leadership team is not united, this is a big deal!
So Li Xiangqian would not bring the topic to the director, but as an old man of the supply and marketing cooperative and a backbone of the middle level, Li Xiangqian would not give Deputy Director Liu a good look. Normally, the director and deputy director would talk to him politely, and there was no way they could go past him and bring things up to the meeting. If this new deputy director did this, then he would naturally "do business business."
Deputy Director Liu did not expect that Li Xiangqian would directly push back. What about "looking for him after the meeting"? He went to the unit chief one by one to explain to the deputy director? Shouldn't this be the responsibility of the section chief to take the initiative to report to the deputy director?
His claws are a bit numb, which is not what I expected.
Furthermore, the director was drinking water with a calm expression on his face and had no intention of resolving the situation. Deputy Director Yu also looked at the documents and did not say anything to help him. This made Liu Shengli feel ashamed and angry.
Okay, it turns out that before I came here, I heard that there were cliques in the county commune. I thought that someone was causing trouble, but I didn’t expect it to be true!
It seems that we need to report to the leader. This Li Long is just a temporary worker. Doesn't he have some extraordinary status? I decided to touch him this time!
But Liu Shengli had also come up through the ranks. Knowing that he couldn’t force himself at this time, he laughed dryly and said:
"If that's the case, I'll find out more about it later."
This is equivalent to taking a step back.
Deputy Director Yu saw that the director had nothing to say, so he adjourned the meeting.
As soon as the meeting ended, Li Xiangqian followed Deputy Director Yu to his office. After closing the door, he began to curse:
"What the hell? You want to find something about me as soon as you come here?" No? You want me to be here, don't you? It doesn't matter how good I am! When Li Long joined the company, his boss agreed, and he was originally going to be a formal employee. I don’t want it at home. Besides, with Li Long’s ability and the things he has accomplished, why don’t we give him a temporary job? In the past, when we accepted tasks from the state, there was no defective product that was notified in the end. Last year, Li Long started taking over the work. Which one of these big jobs has gone wrong? Is it worthy of being named and praised by the state, plus those few praises? ”
"Old Li, Lao Li, don't be angry. Deputy Director Liu is not targeting you." Deputy Director Yu smiled and poured him a glass of water, "Calm down, you have to understand that this Deputy Director Liu is from the state club. It is said that my father is a leader in the state. He is here just for a name. It is inevitable for a young man to be impulsive. You are an old man, so why should you be acquainted with him? Maybe he will leave in half a year. So what?"< br>
"If it were ordinary things, I would tolerate it. Can I tolerate Li Long's matter? I can't tolerate it! I just watched what he would do to me? If he dared to open Li Long, I He dared to report it to the state agency, as if there was no one above him... By the way, there are people in the state agency who know about Li Long. I don’t believe it—I’ll make a call!”
After speaking, Li Qianqian went out to his office.
Deputy Director Yu smiled and put down the teacup.
After a while, Deputy Director Liu Shengli and Liu walked to the door. Just now he saw Li Xiangqian coming over. Because the office was far away, he only heard Li Xiangqian getting angry but not what he said. I came here now to inquire about some news.
"Deputy Director Yu, I just came here and I still don't understand the situation. What is Li Long's background?" Liu Shengli asked.
"Lao Li was recruited. He helped the police solve a case in Shicheng, and the report was sent directly to us." Deputy Director Yu said briefly, "Then he completed several major projects. This job, the job of purchasing stocks, is Lao Li’s right-hand person.”
He thought that since he had made it so clear, Deputy Director Liu should understand.
"That is to say, I don't have any background, I just have good abilities, right? Then why didn't I join the staff? I remember that our company expanded the staff a few years ago, right?"
"I heard that "Li Long doesn't want to be controlled by others," Deputy Director Yu said, "You can ask Lao Li for details. I don't know."
Liu Shengli nodded thoughtfully.
He heard what Deputy Director Yu said and understood that Li Long was one of Li Xiangqian's own, maybe even a relative. If you are not admitted, then the conditions are not enough! Who wouldn’t be willing to join the workforce and become a full-time employee these days? Only a fool wouldn't want to, right?
Eating commercial grain is the dream of many people!
So being able to do this can only mean that Li Long is not qualified firstly, and secondly, he has no background. Otherwise, how could he be just a temporary worker?
So Liu Shengli felt that it would not be a bad idea to touch Li Long.
Of course, he still had to reach a consensus with the leader. He felt that he had to first explore the director's tone.
Since it is the organization's decision, the director must agree with it, but since this person is often absent, there is a stipulated basis for moving him by himself. If you want to carry out work, if you cannot establish your own authority, it may be difficult for others to obey you.
How can you convince the public if you didn’t kick it out in the first step?
Li Long didn't know that someone else was interested in a little person like him at this time. While building the well platform, he answered Zhang Xinhua's questions.
“When I went into the mountains to pull wood, it was cold in the mountains at that time. I happened to come across Harimu’s winter nest, and he invited me in for milk tea, and we got to know each other.”
< br>
After knowing that the other party was a reporter from the autonomous region, Li Long became cautious. Although the harvesting of caladiums and deer antlers is now relatively loose, it doesn't sound good to talk about it after all. So he blurred.
"Then how did you become friends later?" Zhang Xinhua continued to ask.
“I am an employee of a supply and marketing cooperative,” Li Long said, skipping a long paragraph. “I often have to go to the mountains to do tasks, such as weaving and making big brooms. Harimu and Yushanjiang thought it was not good for me to live in a den in the mountains all the time, so they helped me build a wooden house in the mountains and made me a mountain man. I am very grateful to them. I will often bring them some daily necessities such as food and salt. We have become mutual friends. They help me complete the task as soon as possible in the mountains, and I bring them things. This is a win-win and mutual benefit for us. But in fact, it's more about friendship, like brothers. Otherwise, they wouldn't believe me so much." Zhang Xinhua nodded. In fact, she had done some homework before coming to the interview. Herders in the mountains are relatively closed-minded and it is difficult to trust outsiders. However, once you trust someone, you will be heart-to-heart and treat them as one of your own.
"Then you have a really good relationship." Zhang Xinhua praised, "You have sacrificed a lot to gain their recognition, right?"
"Actually, I think I have gained a lot. Some people have misunderstandings about them. They are a group of sincere men. If you communicate with them more, you will know that they do not mince words when talking and doing things. If you like them, you like them, if you don’t like them, you don’t like them. They are very direct and straightforward.”
"That's it." Zhang Xinhua said with emotion and nostalgia. She had met such people when she went to the countryside.
"I heard from Yelaya that you have come here three times. Are you entrusted by Harimu and the others?" Zhang Xinhua continued to ask.
"Yes, and no." Li Long almost finished building the well platform, Ye Laya was holding the well head on the side, Zheng Mingyue was taking photos, and Ma Xiaoyan came over to listen. In fact, she also wanted to Show your face on camera.
“At that time, both Harimu and Yushanjiang asked me whether they should put their children down the mountain to go to school. My suggestion was to put them down. In fact, before that, I took them when they went to Summer Ranch last year. Radio, from which they learned a lot about the country’s policies, It was a big deal. I heard a lot of stories, legends and current good policies about their Kazakh nation from the Kazakh language station in the autonomous region, so they had the idea of letting their children go down the mountain to study. Of course, they also had concerns, after all, the elderly and children went down the mountain. , there will definitely be some difficulties in life, At that time, I said, they can go to the mountains without worries. They regard me as a good brother. How could I let my brother’s family suffer? Besides, I have a tractor, so it’s easy to come here and find people to work. Doing these things is easy. ”
"But your little effort is very, very rare in the eyes of many people." Zhang Xinhua said, "Not everyone can keep their promises, let alone comrades of other ethnic groups, even to their own. Relatives and friends may not be able to do it either.”
"That's a human problem, not a national problem." Li Long smiled, put on the last cement, and said with a smile:
"We have dozens of nationalities living together on this land. In a socialist society, we are all members of a big family. We should all be friends and call each other brothers. Now that the party has good policies, we should be like pomegranates. We must hold each other tightly, so that we can live a good life and realize the four modernizations. I don’t know how to talk big, but since I promised Hari Muyushanjiang and others, I must do this. Otherwise, I would have no shame to see them."
"What did you just say? All ethnic groups should be like..."
"Like pomegranate seeds," Li Long felt ashamed. I'm sorry, I'm borrowing your great words to make it smoother. "The pomegranate seeds are tightly hugged together inside the pomegranate. They are red on the outside and red on the inside. The outside is whole , is our autonomous region, and the various ethnic groups in it are our ethnic groups. Why should we be divided into our ethnic groups? We live together on this land. I heard that during the Han Dynasty, the Han people People farmed here, and all ethnic groups lived together in the thirty-six countries of the Western Region. Later, groups came, left, and stayed. Until now, everyone is a member of the same big family, regardless of each other. That's right."
"That's great!" Zhang Xinhua couldn't help but applaud, "Li Long, what's your education level?"< br>
"Me? I haven't even graduated from junior high school." Li Long said with a smile, "I don't have any academic qualifications, I just speak out what I feel. I didn't know how to talk about this before. It was only after communicating with people like Harimu and Yushanjiang that I slowly learned You don’t understand.”
“Hey!” Yelaya responded hurriedly.
"Tell the old lady, don't use this well-killing for the time being. Tomorrow, at least until the cement dries tomorrow, you can use it, and it's best to pour some water every one or two hours, starting from It's all done inside and out. This way there won't be any problems even in winter. Otherwise, if the well platform is broken, it will be difficult to repair." "Okay," Yelaya said hurriedly to the old lady. Having said that, the old lady nodded and said something.
“She said that there is water at home and she will wait until tomorrow to use it.”
"Okay, I have to go to Yushan Jiang's house." Li Long stood up and said with a masonry knife, "Reporter Zhang, should we move to another place? I still want to finish the work today."
"Okay, no problem." Zhang Xinhua naturally had no problem. At this time, she was still surprised that Li Long only had a junior high school education. How could he say such philosophical words?
Is it because of the power of the masses that the great truth leads to simplicity?
This trip is really the right one!
She feels that the story between Li Long, Harimu and Yushanjiang can really be explored vigorously!
Li Long carried the remaining half bag of cement to the tractor, put it away, and drove the tractor to lead the way. Yelaya sat in the bed of the tractor, followed by 212 to Yushanjiang's home.
There are also many people at home in Yushanjiang carrying buckets to press water. The well platform used to kill the well was obviously different from the previous day. Li Long probably pressed it loosely, and then pressed it again.
Adili rode over on horseback. It was not that he realized it later. Today, Caochang had a dispute with someone else in the team. He went to see Caochang. Only when he came back did he realize that a big shot had come to the team. He ran over on horseback in a hurry.
After exchanging a few words with Yelaya, Adili basically understood the situation.
He came over to meet Zhang Xinhua and Zheng Mingyue. After saying hello, he went to chat with Li Long.
"Vice Captain, let everyone go back first. I'll fix the platform with cement. You see it's still shaking. Once it's done, you can press the water well tomorrow." Li Long said.
Adili nodded, shouted a few words to those who were still waiting to press the water, and everyone slowly left with their buckets.
"Yelaya, ask Yushanjiang's wife, is the water pressure at home good? Once it is, I will repair the station."
Yelaya asked, Yushan Jiang's wife shook her head and took out two empty buckets from the house.
Li Long pressed it carefully. After pressing out two buckets of water, he began to mix the cement and sand.
This time it was Adili who helped, holding the head of the well, and then Li Long began to build the platform from the bottom up.
Zheng Mingyue took photos again. This time Ma Xiaoyan didn't dare to get close. It's a little too obvious if you get closer.
Zhang Xinhua pulled Yelaya over and asked her to translate for Yushanjiang’s wife and ask questions himself. It's mainly about Li Long's arrival and what happened in the mountains.
When Li Long was halfway through building the well platform, Zhang Xinhua had already asked almost everything, and then came over to Li Long and said:
"Comrade Li, both families think very highly of you. Gao, you said that you changed their lives, allowed their children to go to school, helped them survive the snowstorm, prevented them from getting sick and had no medicine to live in the summer pasture, and also helped them solve the problem of insufficient food. Question..."
"No, no, no, this is mutual." Li Long said again, "My efforts are not free, and they have helped me a lot. I think this is actually normal. The situation in the mountains is complicated. Without them, I might not be in the mountains. I was eaten by wild beasts. They took me in when I was helpless and enabled me to successfully complete my mission. It's all the help they brought to me. This kind of thing is mutual, so if you really think about it, no one can do without the other. We should not say who owes whom. It’s a natural feeling.
That’s right, brother.”(End of Chapter)
