Zhang Xinhua is really excited.
If the whole process of the previous interview with Li Long was very calm, including the collected materials, I can write a relatively good article on national unity, then what Li Long said in the end Those words are enough to sublimate this manuscript.
She believes that after polishing and revising it, this article can be published in the Central Newspaper!
This time I really came to the right place!
Li Long didn't expect so much. After he built the well platform, he called it a day. Zhang Xinhua had almost finished the interview. After asking about Li Long's work unit, she said goodbye. She had to rush back to the county to write the manuscript as soon as possible and then send it out.
She couldn't wait any longer.
212 was fast and left in a flash. Li Long drove the tractor and looked at the car gradually going away in front of him, feeling a little envious.
When can I buy a car by myself?
We don’t have enough money now, and it’s hard to get a driver’s license, so it’s better to save money.
Yu Shanjiang’s wife cooked, but Li Long didn’t eat. He asked Yelaya to translate. He had already told his family that he would go home for dinner, and also left a message saying that he would bring his wife over as a guest after a while.
Yushanjiang's wife smiled after hearing this and asked Yelaya to tell them that she would entertain them well then. He also said that Li Long’s wife must be very beautiful.
Yelaya was also very happy. Zhang Xinhua didn’t have much time, and his main attention was on the interview. Zheng Mingyue spent a lot of time and taught her a lot of common sense about writing manuscripts. Although it is just common sense, it is equivalent to a piece of window paper. Most people don't know how to write it before it is pierced, but after piercing it, you will find that it is actually quite simple.
Zheng Mingyue also left some submission addresses for Yelaya so that she could try to submit articles to newspapers. She also left her own contact information. If Yelaya has any questions, she can write to herself.
She could tell that Zhang Xinhua attached great importance to this news interview. He might come back soon, or he might ask for some supplementary materials. It will be beneficial for both parties to leave your contact information now.
Ye Laya sat in 212 and followed her to the county. Her camera contained the most original material of Li Long and the others' work. This news was very important to Zhang Xinhua and the others.
Before leaving, Zhang Xinhua told Li Long that what they did would be reported soon. In fact, she really wanted to see Li Long's surprise, but unfortunately she was a little disappointed. For ordinary people, being published in a newspaper should be something worth remembering and even celebrating, but Li Long felt that it was just that. After all, I have already submitted to the state newspaper once. If I submit it again this time, it is just a higher level.
Zhang Xinhua was a little surprised when she couldn't see Li Long's surprised expression, but she thought maybe Li Long didn't know what it meant. He won't realize it until it actually gets published in the newspapers and the state and county take action.
This is not an ordinary newspaper, this is a newspaper in the name of national unity during the National Unity Education Month!
And Zhang Xinhua feels that that sentence can be used as a slogan forever. It describes it so well, like pomegranate seeds - why has no one thought of describing national unity like this before?
When the tractor drove back to the county, it was not yet time for lunch. Li Long went to the oil depot to refuel, and then filled two barrels of spare oil before driving to Sister Yang's house.
Gu Xiaoxia hasn't come over yet, but Sister Yang is making dumplings. Li Long asked:
"Sister Yang, what kind of dumplings are you eating today?"
"Leeks and eggs, pork and green onions, one meat and one vegetarian, whichever one you like." Making dumplings is very fast. Just take the wrapper and stuffing and squeeze it with both hands, and the dumplings look like ingots are ready.
"Let me help too." Li Long also knows how to make dumplings.
"No, no, no, no need to touch your hands." Sister Yang shook her head hurriedly, "The dumplings are almost ready here. For the three of us to eat, a hundred dumplings are about the same."
"Where's Han Fang?"
"Save the stuffing for her after school in the afternoon." Sister Yang explained.
Li Long nodded. He didn't speak, but Sister Yang spoke up:
"His uncle, when are you going to have a baby?"
"We are preparing now, and it won't be until next year." Li Long said casually, "This doesn't mean you can get it anytime you want."
"Her aunt is a cadre, can you only have one child?"
"Yes." Li Long sighed, one child is still a bit too little. But there's nothing you can do about it, just the price. After all, Gu Xiaoxia is already a cadre and cannot violate policies.
Then wait until your children are older and the policy will change before you have more children. With my current ability, I should be able to save more family foundation for the next generation and the next generation. It should be no problem to raise children by then.
Of course, it is their freedom to have as many children as they want, and they cannot and will not interfere.
While talking, Gu Xiaoxia pushed the bicycle into the yard. Seeing Li Long, she asked:
"Have you finished the work in the village?"
"Yes, I have finished it. I also met a reporter from the autonomous region and interviewed me about what I did."
"I still want to tell you Here." Gu Xiaoxia held up the car and walked to Li Long. He said:
“I heard from my colleagues that yesterday the county radio station played the broadcast script of the Animal Husbandry Team, saying that a man named Li Long repaired the houses of two households in the Animal Husbandry Team and suppressed them. Well. They guessed it was you. Come and ask me today. We, the Wang Bureau, also knew about it and said it was a good thing. It was great that our family members in the Education Bureau had such awareness. This happened to be National Unity Education Month, and the timing was great. What about you?"
"What? Is the county going to commend his uncle?" Sister Yang poked her head out of the kitchen, still holding unwrapped dumplings, "I think this should have been done a long time ago, doesn't his uncle often give things to the herdsmen in the mountains? ? The county only knows now?”
Li Long couldn't laugh or cry, where is this? But it seems that when she was away, Gu Xiaoxia should have been chatting with Sister Yang about her own affairs.
"I don't care about that, I just do what I should do. Just now my eldest sister asked me when we would have a baby, and I said next year."
"Just hurry up. Yes, you are young and happy, and your body will recover quickly after giving birth to her. If you don't mind, I will take care of the baby for you then!" Sister Yang said in the room.
"That's great." Gu Xiaoxia's eyes were full of longing, "We can decide on that, sister."
"It's hard to say." Sister Yang hadn't spoken yet, Li Long said Bian shook his head and said, "Eldest sister is still looking for Han Fang's father. After finding it, are we not allowed to move there?"
"I won't move even if I find you." Sister Yang said, "I'm still thinking of finding Xiaofang's father and letting him settle here. It's great to stay here and make a lot of money. You can rent this small courtyard to me. It’s comfortable to live in. Who knows where he lives now? How's it going?"
"You can live here as long as you want." Li Long didn't care about this. Sister Yang might have found Han Fang's father now. , then he changed his mind.
After all, we are a family.
The dumplings are wrapped and put into the pot. Gu Xiaoxia took the bowls and chopsticks, while Li Long went to get the vinegar and spicy oil. He also pulled coriander and green onions directly from the ground, chopped them, put them in a bowl, and then mixed them with the sauce.
When the dumplings were served, both Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia smelled the fragrance. Li Long smiled and said:
"Sister Yang, with your skills, you can definitely make money by opening a restaurant."
"Actually, I have also thought about it. If I really want to open it, I will find a place to open a small restaurant nearby. If I can Just feed me and Xiaofang. Anyway, I like cooking and I like others to eat the food I cook." Sister Yang brought another dish. She plated dumplings and said with a smile, "But there's no rush for now. I'm slowly saving money and practicing my skills. The taste here is a bit different from that of my hometown. I'm selling rice in the market now, so I'm slowly making adjustments. Taste."
It seemed that Sister Yang had her own plans, so Li Long stopped talking about this topic.
After dinner, Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia went out together and left separately.
After finishing the work on the animal husbandry team, Li Long was free for the time being and had nothing specific to do. He just thought about tidying up the yard to make it more convenient. Nowadays, there is still a stove in the house in winter, and you still have to use a dry toilet to go to the toilet. Li Long was wondering if he could renovate it and build an indoor bathroom. However, the amount of renovation work required is a bit large. After all, the water needs to be dug again. I don’t know if anyone in the county can renovate this old-fashioned building.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, Deputy Director Liu Shengli did not call the state cooperative in the end. After analysis, it was determined that Li Long's background was in the county, and it should be Li Xiangqian, so he went to meet with the director again, with one main purpose. Either Li Long comes over and goes to work on time, or he cleans up.
After all, getting paid without working is called empty pay, which is a serious violation.
The director was noncommittal, but wanted him to communicate with Li Xiangqian. Liu Shengli was puzzled, but the director didn't give him an explanation.
Liu Shengli didn't want to go to Li Xiangqian. He felt that since he was the deputy director, Li Xiangqian should go to him directly. The matter was settled here. When Deputy Director Yu later commented on this matter, he only gave it two words: childish.
Yes, young and frivolous, young and successful, with power in hand, naturally want to do something.
But since the supply and marketing cooperative started as a grain purchasing team, how many things have it gone through? Although the first group of old people now look kind and kind, who knows that these people encountered bandits and robbers when collecting food, and they really dared to fight with others with guns in their hands.
When people like Liu Shengli, who has never experienced any setbacks, encounter these old people and want to use their power to manipulate others, they really think wrong.
If there is no problem with the procedure, and after normal communication at the meeting, Li Xiangqian may not give him face and give him a detailed explanation.
But for the sake of so-called face and the authority of the leader, Liu Shengli was prepared to directly bring this issue to the meeting. This was equivalent to not giving Li Xiangqian face and planning to overturn the table.
And this is not only a problem for Li Xiangqian, but also a problem for several other leaders of the entire supply and marketing cooperative.
Unruly.
However, after careful "investigation", Liu Shengli brought the matter up again at the meeting on the third day.
As one of the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative, issues raised at formal meetings need to be communicated in advance.
He didn't.
The director's face was a little gloomy. Although he knew that Liu Shengli had connections in the state, in any case, he brought the issue directly to the meeting without communicating with the meeting. Is this trying to force the palace?
Little bastard, what do you want to do?
Liu Shengli felt that he was sure of winning, because the data and materials he provided were all true. Based on these things, it was absolutely certain that Li Long, a temporary worker, had been absent for a long time and was receiving empty wages and benefits. This was not allowed. Yes, this is poaching the corner of socialism!
It is said that he is also buying and selling outside in the name of supply and marketing cooperative. This is ruining the reputation of supply and marketing cooperative!
We must not allow things like this to develop. This person is a black sheep, so the ranks of the supply and marketing cooperative must be eliminated!
The words were very passionate and the tone was very high. It sounded very exciting, but to be honest, the effect... was a bit average.
Everyone who attended the meeting knew Li Long more or less and how he got into the supply and marketing cooperative. Some people still don't understand why he refused to take a permanent job and only wanted a temporary job quota.
Now some people understand that this is obviously thinking that such a day will come.
After all, making money outside brings freedom outside. Maybe this person likes the freedom outside, so he asked for a temporary job. If you are a formal editor, you won't have freedom, and you will be punished if anything happens.
Liu Shengli thought that after he said these words, he would get the approval of most people, but he found that most people were still silent.
Only Li Xiangqian looked at him with a sneer. Obviously, Li Long's backstage really didn't intend to cooperate with him.
Liu Shengli ignored him. If a unit leader really wants to stand up to him, what can he do if he is his leader? In the state society, he had seen too many situations where people were crushed to death at the official level. Those middle and lower-level leaders behaved and were respectful when they saw the leaders of the state society.
Why did it change at the county office?
This trend is wrong and must be changed!
No one responded. Liu Shengli knew that since he had made this proposal, even if it did not resonate with everyone now, the process must continue.
Fortunately, the director did not speak, indicating that the director was not completely opposed to this proposal and there was still a chance.
Just when Liu Shengli was about to vote on this proposal, someone knocked on the door outside. Liu Shengli was a little impatient, but the director saw the people outside through the glass on the door, and then shouted:
"Come in."
The person who came in was an ordinary cadre, and he did not see Liu Shengli With that impatient look, he said directly to the director:
"Director, phone number."
"Where did it come from?" the director asked.
"It's from the county publicity department."
Hearing the call from the county publicity department, the director stood up and said to Liu Shengli:
"Xiao Liu, you continue the meeting. I'll start with "Go and answer the phone."
Liu Shengli said seriously that you have to make the final decision. If you leave, what other meetings can I have? But he didn't dare to tell the director that you should stop answering the phone and finish the meeting?
The director returned to his office and answered the phone, saying "hello", and then heard someone on the other side smiling and saying:
"Director Wei, I am promoting Lao Luo."
"Hey, Director Luo, hello. Why are you calling me when you have time?" Director Wei said with a smile. Opposite was the Minister of Propaganda, so naturally he would say it with a smile.
"Director Wei, have you seen today's newspaper? The people under you are great! Our county's ethnic unity work itself is not outstanding. Now it's better. With you, this year's ethnic unity During the Solidarity Education Month, I have a solid foundation. The county secretary said that you are the first to succeed!"
"What... I haven't read the newspaper yet." Director Wei seemed a little confused. This situation seems to be similar. ?
"You haven't read it yet. The newspaper should have been delivered, right? Today's Autonomous Region Daily! The young man named Li Long from your unit went to build houses and dig wells for the ethnic brothers in the animal husbandry team. , and also said, "Brothers of all ethnic groups hug each other as tightly as pomegranate seeds." What a wonderful statement! What a strong political acumen! The county secretary said it today. Needless to say, your unit must be an advanced unit for national unity, and Comrade Li Long must be an advanced individual for national unity! Not only the county, but also the state must have the same idea! Our state's performance in this regard was mediocre before, but this time It’s really a signature! It’s great! Lao Wei, he’s such a talented person.”
Director Wei hung up the phone, a little confused. What's going on? That Li Long...
He hurriedly waved to the young man who was following him to find today's newspaper.
The newspaper had been retrieved but had not been distributed yet. The young man hurriedly brought the autonomous region daily newspaper to Director Wei. Director Wei flipped through it and saw it. The headline on the second page: "Brothers of all ethnic groups should be as close as pomegranate seeds." Hug each other: Li Long, an employee of the Jiema County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, helped ethnic comrades to build houses and dig wells."
Seeing that his unit was being hit, Director Wei suddenly had his head lifted. The supply and marketing cooperative has money and people, but it’s really difficult to get any good news published in the autonomous region’s major newspapers. In the past, the most I could put in a text message was a piece of tofu, and that was already a big deal.
Now it’s the second page headline! Almost half a page!
He feels better now than drinking sour plum soup in the dog days of summer!
"Director, Deputy Director Liu asked me to ask about this meeting..." the young man asked in a low voice.
Director Wei hadn't read the specific content of the news yet, but he didn't need to read it after thinking about it. He took the newspaper and strode to the conference room.
The door of the conference room opened, and there were people talking quietly inside. Li stepped forward with a straight face, clearly unhappy.
Liu Shengli saw Director Wei coming in, so he coughed lightly and said:
"Okay, the director is here, let's have a meeting..."
"It won't start." Director Wei interrupted him, "There is no need to discuss Li Long's matter. He is a very good comrade. , we want to call on all comrades in the society to learn from him, Lao Li, you have led a good soldier! Now, come to my office. I want to see this young man. He really gives our president a face!" He slapped the newspaper on the table:
"We must protect such an outstanding comrade. If you train well, even though you are a temporary worker, you are still a member of our company. Lao Li, who usually spends time with Comrade Li Long Let's talk and tell the club if there are any difficulties. He can't be allowed to pay for such things himself
And it's good to have such thoughts and behaviors. We must actively report them to the club. Now let's do it. It's very passive. After everything is done, our company finally realizes that this is not good. If there is a similar situation in the future, you should report it to the club as soon as possible, okay? When he comes, you can tell him that the club has reimbursed the funds for this event, so you can't let him contribute both people and efforts, right?" br>
The wind direction suddenly changed. Not only Liu Shengli was confused, but Li Xiangqian was also confused.
What happened to the director today?
He looked at the newspaper. Did Li Long do something extraordinary again?
Liu Shengli also looked at the newspaper, and he also wanted to know why. (End of this chapter)
