home. 。Jianxiu Shui and Xiao Zheng's conversation was abruptly interrupted. 。Xiao Zheng said, “Haiyan, it’s getting late. I’ll send you home.” 。 。Let's send Haiyan together, otherwise, it would be aw...The county committee took action all at once, investigating three leading officials at the county level and directly dealing with eleven officials at the division level, while urging township governments to handle 24 ordinary cadres! To talk about promoting officials, these numbers aren't many, everyone likes to be promoted; but when it comes to dealing with officials, since the reform and opening up, such strength is probably unprecedented! In Baoyuan County, even in this small town, on every street corner, people are talking about this. 。In addition, the file will be sent down shortly, and everyone in the township and village will also know about the situation where a large number of officials have been dealt with. 。It seems that everyone can feel that the new county party secretary's work style is quite different from the previous one. 。At least everyone understands that when facing major events like snow disasters in the future, laziness, negligence, and dereliction of duty will not work. If things are mishandled, consequences will follow. 。This is not just a warning or a punishment issue, it could easily unearth more problems. Your actions might stem from poor work performance, but when the Disciplinary Committee investigates, they could uncover other issues, leading to potential imprisonment. 。This is the most terrifying part! Some officials who still have a clear head have begun to restrain their words and actions. 。This is exactly the result Xiao Zheng wanted. 。In Baoyuan County town, the only breakfast shop has a rather meaningful name called "Siyuan" 。Located at the head of Cangqiao, there used to be a small tributary of the Yellow River flowing underneath. But now the river has dried up, and you can see the riverbed and dry mud at a glance. 。It seems that for the Yellow River water, there is only "thought" but no "source". 。Even so, the breakfast shop inside and outside was still lively. Retired cadres, businessmen, parents and children who got up early in the county town were all here drinking a bowl of eight treasure tea, having a plate of mutton and beef, and a few pieces of fried dough sticks. 。Some people come and go in a hurry, while others sit for an entire morning. 。A few retired cadres will go to ... every morning. 。Among them, a retiree named Wang Kaihe, over 90 years old, is pushed to the "Siyuan" teahouse every morning by his son, Wang Xiaozhou. 。Wang Kaihe eats breakfast for free because this "Siyuan" tea house, is opened by his son, Wang Xiaozhou. 。

At first glance, "Kai He" (meaning "Open the River") suggests a pioneering spirit. And indeed, the elder did live up to his name. Joining the revolution in his teens, he personally witnessed the founding of New China – isn't that pioneering But the elder named his son "Xiao Zhou" (Little Boat). People initially thought the father had paved the way, and now this "Little Boat" would sail with him, riding the wind and waves to success. 。

Unexpectedly, Wang Kaihe, this old man, did not carry his son like a "small boat" and let him go higher and farther than himself. 。Wang Kaihe did not use any privileges during his time as the county party secretary. After he stepped down, he also did not leverage his influence to arrange jobs or plan a career path for his son. Instead, he supported his son in opening a "breakfast shop" to make a living selling breakfast items. 。

Selling breakfast seems lively, but it's actually hard work. You have to get up in the middle of the night every day, and you don't make much money. 。Many elderly comrades had advised Wang Kaihe, "With your seniority and contributions to Baoyuan, if you tell the county leaders, arranging a position in a relaxed department for your son wouldn't be difficult. You don't have to do anything, just hold onto a secure state job, how good is that!" The elderly man smiled and said, "Children have their own blessings. My son has loved tinkering in the kitchen since he was young. Now he runs a breakfast tea shop, working at something he enjoys every day and supporting his family. What's not to like"

Although he said so, his daughter-in-law initially had objections to his son's marriage and running this tea shop. She thought it was unreasonable for him to be up early and working late just to make a little money. 。The children of retired cadres are not taking public transportation, they are eating government meals. They live in heaven while we live on earth. 。Wang Xiaozhou, hearing this, felt resentful and went to find his father, saying: "Dad, why don't you help me You make my life so difficult, and even my wife looks down on me." 。"Wang Kaihe said: "Xiao Zhou, the children of other old comrades have to rely on their fathers' help to make a living. " 。But you don't need it anymore. 。You've been used to cooking in the kitchen since you were little. Seeing you happily working at the tea shop every day, and the customers treating you like family, willing to spend money on your breakfast dishes, isn't that a kind of success For an individual, the most important thing is to do what they like, what they want to do, and be able to support their family. That's already self-reliance and taking on the responsibility of the family. 。When people hold official positions, they are supposed to serve the people; you're already serving the common people now. Everyone says that "Si Yuan" breakfast tastes good, is fairly priced, and is highly praised. 。"I'm so proud to have such a son!"

Wang Xiaozhou felt a sudden surge of emotion. Although he sold breakfast tea, he had never seen his father get angry with him. He had never heard his father say that he was not ambitious. Instead, his father often boasted about him at the tea stall, calling him hardworking, filial, and strong. 。The old father's recognition and fondness for him came from the heart. 。On the contrary, Wang Xiaozhou often heard that many of his peers who had entered the government through their fathers' connections would complain when their fathers came to drink morning tea. They would often say things like "My son is so busy he doesn't even come to see me" or "My son-in-law and daughter are not filial," and so on. 。。After he went back, Wang Xiaozhou told his wife the reasoning and bought her a gold necklace as well. He said it was earned with his own hands, that by not stealing, robbing, or being greedy, he could also provide her with a good life. 。After all, she is a woman. Seeing her husband caring for her, earning money, and staying by her side, she no longer wants him to find connections to get a government job. 。

Years have flown by, and retired cadre Wang Kaihe has reached the age of 90, while his son, Wang Xiaozhou, is about to turn 70. The father and son still appear at the tea shop early in the morning as they always have. The son and daughter-in-law make tea and sell breakfast items, while Wang Kaihe sits in a chair eating something and chatting with old friends about daily life. 。Wang Xiaozhou would occasionally glance at his father. Time was a relentless force, aging him. His father was already 90 years old. He didn't know how many more years he had to see him sitting there quietly, never knowing when this old chair might be empty one day. 。Wang Xiaozhou wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, without letting anyone notice, and continued to make tea for the newly arrived guests. 。This little move was noticed by his wife. She leaned close to him and whispered, “We just need to be filial to our father well, there’s no need for regrets.” 。Wang Xiaozhou, who was seventy years old, whispered in his wife's ear, who was ten years younger than him, "Having a wife like you is the blessing I cultivated in my past life." 。“His wife gave him a withering look.” 。"Wang Xiaozhou said: "Who dares to laugh at kissing one's own wife"

"Xiaozhou, a bowl of Bāo chá, a tea egg, three steamed buns, I'll accompany your father for a few words." 。Uncle Li is here. 。Mr. Li, a retired cadre who is 75 years old this year, is also a daily visitor. After retirement, he still reads the newspaper every day and often visits his former unit. Therefore, he is well-informed and gets along very well with Wang Kaihe. 。For Wang Xiaozhou, having Li Shu accompany his father adds a bit of fun to his father's later years. 。Wang Xiaozhou immediately replied, "Uncle Li, please sit down. Chadan baozi will be here soon." 。"Li Shu sat down, and Wang Kaihe asked, “Old Li, do you have any new news today You’re so well-connected!”

Li Shu was also proud of being well-informed, he spread out the newspaper in his hand and pointed to a piece of text, saying: "Old Wang, I really have good news for you today" 。“Wang Kaihe glanced at the newspaper but didn't lean closer. He turned his head and said, “You know my old eyes are very serious! I can’t see it! Read it to me.” 。"Well then," Uncle Li said with a chuckle, "let me read to you. " 。To be honest, you don't even need to read it. I'll just tell you. 。"Didn't our county just get a new county Party Secretary He was transferred from Jiangzhong for a stint, wasn't he" Wang Kaihe nodded, his expression serious. "I know about that." 。You mentioned this a couple of days ago, but I think the provincial government is just messing things up. Bringing in a young person from outside to be the county party secretary, without even considering their abilities! How much can they possibly understand about our mountainous region Can they truly work for the development of our Baoyuan people The county party secretary should be someone from our local cadres, born and raised here, who understands the roots of our people. Only then can they have genuine feelings for the Baoyuan people. 。"That being said, yesterday the county Party secretary did something. 。I was really shocked. It's even in the newspaper today. 。"Li Shudao, 'So I hurried over to tell you " 。"What's the matter with "

" Don't keep me in suspense!" Wang Kaihe asked. 。Li Shudao: “Yesterday, the county committee took action and investigated three township and department heads in one go, and also dealt with 11 cadres at or above the division level who were derelict in their duties during the snow disaster relief work! Many township cadres were also urged to handle the matter at the township level.” 。“Is that so” Wang Kaihe was also touched, turning to Li Shu. “Lao Li, are these the new county committee secretary’s intentions” Li Shu said: “Of course it is. We all know that some cadres in our county aren't up to par, but have we investigated them in recent years Not at all!”Wang Kaihe nodded slightly. “Those who are not up to par need to be investigated, otherwise the common people’s lives will only get harder and harder.” 。It seems that the new county party secretary is really serious about making changes. 。"Mr. Li added, “There’s one more piece of news.” 。Today I received a call saying that the County Committee Secretary Xiao will come to see me this afternoon. 。I guess he'll come see you right away. 。"What are these old folks looking at us for" Wang Kaihe was a bit puzzled. Over the years, the county's main leaders had never come to visit. 。Li Shudao said, “I heard that this Secretary Xiao publicly said that we old cadres are a precious wealth!”

Precious wealth, Wang Kaihe really hadn't heard this phrase in a long time. 。

Was this just talk, or did he actually take these old geezers seriously Wang Kaihe thought to himself, if Secretary Xiao really meant it, Baoyuan County might just get a good young talent. 。It's not like capable young people just fall from the sky. Why would someone like that come to a poor and remote place like Bao Yuan!yor Xiao wasn't joking with you. He really can arrange a plane " 。Lu Wei glanced at Yang Xuhu. Xiao Zheng's secretary looked strong and imposing, giving her a very honest impression. In her opinion,...
