Chapter 3 The grassroots water is deep
The destination of Mu Jun’s trip was also the first stop he was about to fight for in Dakou Township, Dianyu County, Ningfeng City, Duanyun Province.
Duanyun Province is a major coastal economic province in East China. Ningfeng City is an inland city in Duanyun Province. Its resources are relatively barren. Duanyun Province, which has developed economically, is always in the ranks of last ranks. Mu Jingkai's hometown is Ningfeng City.
Dianyu County is a poor county in Ningfeng City. Although it is relatively poor than the national-level poverty-stricken county, it is obvious that it is a big economic province to drag down. Take it for granted, Dakou Township is not rich.
The train originally arrived at Yunji City, the capital of Duanyun Province, and passed the way station in Ningfeng City. After getting off the train, Mu Jun found a road bus to Dianyu County near the train station that was not very familiar but never stranger.
After walking around, at 2:40 pm, the passenger bus he took took to Dakou Township. This was his second time here. The first time was a report from the New Year. He changed his thick cotton coat on the train. Mu Jun changed into a relatively orthodox tweed coat, straight trousers and casual leather shoes, and a plaid shirt jacket with a sleeveless vest.
The weather in Duanyun has been declining recently, with the lowest temperature at night below zero, and even at noon, the temperature is only ten degrees.
Dakou Township is located on the edge of a provincial highway, and the roads run through the entire township. The streets in the central township are quite lively, and the roads and environment are quite clean. The T-street is called for buying and selling, and people come and go, which is quite lively. Although most people are wandering around, the cars are all three-wheeled motor vehicles.
The courtyard of the township party and government organs is very quiet, on the left edge of the upper end of the T-shaped character, close to the edge of the village road, the environment is elegant and quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the provincial road and the bustle of the town center.
"Uncle Wang, I am Xiao Mu who came to report to the New Year. Do you still remember me?" Mu Jun greeted Mr. Wang who was guarding the door.
"Remember, of course, I remember that all those who are doing great things have spread throughout the country, saying that there is a top scholar here." Uncle Wang is in his sixties and is disabled veteran. The country arranged for a doorman to watch the door and fight. He is healthy, has a lame left leg, and has a straight look. He also knows two words.
"Uncle Wang, then I'll go in." Mu Jun smiled and took out two boxes of eleven Nanjing cigarettes from the shoulder bag he carried and handed them over.
"Look at what you are doing..." Uncle Wang shirked, Mu Jun waved his hand with a smile: "Hold it and suck it, I still have it."
Uncle Wang didn't shirk too much. The little bit of human relationship proved that the new cadre was of quality. He looked up to the people who looked at the door and felt that he was valued. Uncle Wang was no exception and watched Mu Jun walk into the courtyard with a smile.
Gently knock on the office door of the deputy township chief Ma Defu. In this official country, no matter how big an official you are, wearing this hat can dominate the future and destiny of a considerable number of people. Mu Jun still understands this very well. Since he has entered the officialdom, everything must be followed by the rules here. Although the son of the commander of the field army is strong, there is a saying that county officials are worse than to be in charge. As an official, the most taboo thing is to be suppressed by non-direct officials above. Even if he is just a small official with a smile on his face, he will immediately change his face behind him. Mu Jun has been preparing for so many years, so how can he not understand it?
"Enter!" The leaders inside can also judge the person from the rhythm of the knocking sound. Just like Mu Jun, knocking at the door slowly and gently, they are usually subordinates, and the word "enter" is enough.
"Master Ma, I'm here to report for the official report." Mu Jun bent down slightly, respectful and humble, and those who do not like pride do not like jesters and subordinates too much. This is just right, neither high nor low, neither far nor near, suitable for people who are not very familiar with.
Ma Defu is a native of Dakou Township. He is an old deputy township leader. He has no education or backstage. He has been in his position as a deputy township leader for more than ten years. It is impossible to be promoted. After a long time, he gets used to it. People in their early fifties are about to retire and have no great hope for the future. Therefore, Secretary and the township leader are more at ease to hand over some practical work to him, who will be sent to him locally. If they do it well, they will not be too greedy for merit.
He raised his head, the ashtray at hand was overflowing, and his old smoker was fully revealed. Seeing Mu Jun was stunned for a moment, then he felt relieved. Before the New Year, he had such a top scholar, a master's and doctoral student from Fudan, Shanghai, not to mention the village, there was no one in the county. He quickly showed his smile, wrinkles piled up on his dark face, and the big teeth had a yellow mark that had been soaked in smoke for many years. A hearty laughter sounded: "Oh, Xiao Mu, sit down quickly."
He stood up and sat on the old-fashioned sofa of Sanjie, and enthusiastically handed over a three-dollar cigarette with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Mu Jun took it casually, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it for Ma Defu, and then lit it for himself. The spicy smell of low-end cigarettes rushed over. Fortunately, when he was in college, he was often sucking mist with his boss who was in the same family. The smell of low-end cigarettes was not too resistant.
After taking a few sips, when Ma Defu opened his mouth, Mu Jun snatched the cigarette, sat upright and put on a posture of listening carefully. In this state, he immediately won Ma Defu's favor. He couldn't say where the young man in front of him felt that he had a good impression of him frequently, but he just felt that the other party respected him very much. He wanted to swallow it with a tone and swear it back, and directly informed the agreed result: "Xiao Mu, you are a talented man, a top student from a prestigious university. You can take the initiative to respond to the country's call to work in remote townships. Secretary Liu and Township Mayor Zhang both attached great importance to it. We discussed and added a burden to you. What do you think?"
Mu Jun straightened his waist and said, "I am willing to learn more from old comrades." He was the only one who was willing to stay for too long. It was better to have a chance, and he would have to go there if he didn't have the chance. Now Ma Defu took the initiative to mention that he was naturally happy to speak up.
Ma Defu took a sip of the cigarette: "Okay, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated. You are a person who is engaged in learning. The writing level of the township party committee and government is average. Xiao Mu will have to take more responsibility in the future. Also, the propaganda work in the village has been bad. You are here. Secretary Liu means to ask you to bring things outside in and teach those who are stubborn. What do you think?"
"Thank you for your attention. I will work hard and live up to my expectations." Mu Jun was quite satisfied. He thought that he would be able to do his job in writing. After all, the diploma was there, and it would be a big mistake for these township leaders to give them practical work in publicity. It is also a trust in himself. I think his resume was there. The internship period was completed during college. The province and the city responded to the national call for "bearing pain and giving up". It is difficult to explain if they don't pay attention. How can they know?
Even if the country calls on young college students to support the townships, he will come down. The grandfather of the Crazy Nizi is an old scholar who has been studying party history and politics for a lifetime. He is a big insider who is aware of the twists and turns of the officialdom and tells Mu Jun directly that there are two paths, one high and one low, but to truly achieve something and even higher ideals, grassroots experience and the one who is in charge are necessary. Airborne and solid work from the bottom are absolutely different. Unless you have a great background, the result of airborne may not be good.
Mu Jun thought of the man whose mother asked him to call him "Big Uncle", the family, and the father, and he started from the company step by step. He could do it, so he went to Duanyun Province to actively respond to the call of fresh graduates to go to the townships.
"Haha, Xiao Mu, you're so polite." Ma Defu smiled and lit another cigarette, and it was Mu Jun who still lit it for him.
After chatting for a while, Mu Jun retreated from the office. After coming out, he let out a long breath, with a faint trace of sweat. It seems that it is as people say. If you don’t feel yourself, you will never understand how deep the water in the officialdom is. This is just a small town, or a rough grassroots official. They are all scheming and scheming, and they are hidden in their words. Just like before, Ma Defu seemed to be boundless, but he reproduced the scene of Secretary Liu and Township Mayor Zhang personally holding a banquet when Mu Junnian came to report, showing one inside and outside.
The attitude of the deputy outsider, but Mu Jun could hear that Ma Defu was a little biased towards Township Mayor Zhang. No wonder, Township Mayor Zhang is young, but in his early thirties, and is at the age of doing business. He has a bright future. Unlike Secretary Liu, who has been a secretary for two terms, he has been promoted or transferred. It is normal for Ma Defu to turn to Township Mayor Zhang for the sake of his own power. Due to Secretary Liu's current situation, he dare not express it too directly. However, he did not expect that he would say so thoroughly to a person who had just been assigned. Is it intentional or to test whether he could understand?
Mu Jun thought in his mind that someone who was not paying attention and collided with the person who was walking over the stairs.
"Ouch." cried out.
I used the skills I trained in the military compound with my father and the reconnaissance company for many years. I stretched out my hand and surrounded the other party, and stopped and turned around.
"Don't let go." A coquettish voice sounded. Mu Jun, who was not Chu Ge, immediately reacted. He placed his hand where he shouldn't have been placed. He didn't pay attention just now. While surrounding the other party, his palm pressed against the other party's plump body.
"I'm sorry, Director Hu, it didn't hurt you." Mu Jun turned his face, as if he didn't notice where his hand was grabbed. After saving the person, he let go of his hand and blocked the possibility of blaming the other party. He asked if it hurts after the impact, and he was a lesbian, so he can't just say why you were grabbing my chest.
"Oh, it's okay, isn't this Xiao Mu? I came to work so early. Didn't Secretary Liu say that you can come to work after the Lunar New Year?" Standing opposite was a young woman in work clothes. In her early thirties, the standard work clothes could not cover her hot body. Although there were traces of wind and rain that rural women could not erase, it did not hide her reputation in Dakou Township. Hu Jiumei, director of the township party and government office. A woman who is not very famous, it is a matter of course. Women should move forward on the road of official career. Not to mention the narrow road, rumors and rumors are enough to destroy it.
The brilliance in his eyes flashed and men admired women, and women also admired men. Hu Jiumei had never seen such a handsome young man in her life. She had a tall figure, tough facial features and healthy skin. Nowadays, every household has a TV. What handsome guys are already popular. This is what Mu Jun touched her "accidentally". If it were someone else, Hu Jiumei's domineering here would have been shouted out long ago. She would not give up if she didn't make a fuss about you.
"Director Hu, you are polite. Do you dare to be really polite with a soldier like us? Anyway, there is nothing at home, so it's good to come here early to get familiar with the work." Mu Jun took a step back slightly and pulled the distance between each other to the distance that a normal colleague had when he talked to him.
"What is missing in the dormitory and you need something, come to me." Hu Jiumei nodded, and there was a joy flashing in her eyes. She didn't see that half step. She felt only the contact she had just met. Did that kid do it on purpose? A faint feeling of unknown heat surged in her heart.
