It was 8 o'clock and arrived at the hospital 15 minutes in advance. Jiao Handong, Mr. Wang and Chairman Ma actually arrived first. A deputy general of the BJ company of Construction Engineering Group sent them here, sitting in the ward to talk to Lao Lu.

"I sent flowers again, and I came to send a lot of flowers to one person. It was so expensive. Why was this money wasted? Besides, I don't need it. It's all here, I can put it around the bed, hold a memorial service, and use the ward as a memorial hall!"

The person in the next ward said that he had missed the words last night, but he accidentally heard them. He knew that it would cost hundreds of thousands to treat a doctor. He was shocked and didn't sleep well all night and didn't like anyone else. He caught someone and got angry for no reason.

"Xiao Han, Xiaolei, sit down when you come, why are you standing?"

With chemotherapy, the hair is almost gone, and even if it doesn't, I guess I won't dare to dye it again. Wearing a wig on your head looks so funny and funny. He pointed to the bench, looking unhappy and chattering endlessly.

"I don't want to come, I have to come. There are so many people coming here. It's not a lot of money to get a plane ticket! A ticket worth more than 1,000 yuan for a plane ticket is considered to be back. Five people are not enough for ten thousand yuan. What's wrong with this money? I am a deputy county-level researcher, a retired deputy county-level researcher, not a provincial and ministerial leader..."

You are sick and give in to you.

Jiao Handong looked up at the ceiling, Mr. Wang looked down at his phone, Chairman Ma studied what liquid was injected on the head of the bed, and what medicine he had taken, but he didn't hear it. Han Bo smiled but said nothing, Li Xiaolei handed the flowers to his wife, nodding to the embarrassing Lu brothers and sisters.

Facts have proved that Lao Lu is not afraid of heaven or earth. In addition to Political Commissar Gu and Secretary Huang, who has passed away, he is also a little "feared" in his daughter-in-law with the highest education in the family.

Zhao Xiuli couldn't stand it and turned around and said, "Dad, I'm here to visit you from all over the place. Not only are I not grateful, but I'm also angry. Are you like you?"

"I didn't get angry, I mean it."

"What's up?"

"Okay, okay, I'm ungrateful, I'm not good at it, right?"

"Secretary Jiao, Uncle Ma, Han Bo, Xiaolei, I'm sorry, you guys sit down, I'll go pour water."

"Director Zhao, don't be so polite, you're not an outsider."

Jiao Handong coughed dryly and looked at Lao Lu in a hospital gown with a smile: "Secretary Lu, Secretary Luo, County Mayor Yang and other county leaders called me before departure and entrusted me to convey their greetings, entrusted me to wish you a happy New Year, so that you can rest assured and recover soon."

"Director Yang of the Beijing Office has been here." Old Lu said absent-mindedly and perfunctorily. His mind was full of money. Whoever had to spend hundreds of thousands of medical expenses when he saw a doctor would feel uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

Jiao Handong smiled and continued: "I have no right to represent the county party committee and county government, but I can summarize your contributions to Liangzhuang on behalf of the town party committee and town government. It is no exaggeration to say that without you Secretary Lu, there would be no Liangzhuang today. The predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoyed the shade, not only did they benefit from more than 100,000 Liangzhuang people, but also I, Jiao Handong.

There are so many town party committee secretaries in the county, and the party secretary of Sigang Town is not a member of the county party committee standing committee. What is Jiao Handong? Why is it that I am a deputy director? In the final analysis, you laid a good foundation and let me pick a big peach. The leaders at the municipal and county levels have made good efforts to show that Liangzhuang’s economic construction has been well promoted and appointed me as a member of the county party committee standing committee.”

"Secretary Lu, I am not as good as you or Han Bo today. First, I was the assistant to the township chief, and then I recommended me to join the town party committee team. It is difficult to get a deputy director at the grassroots level, especially in those years."

"I'm the same. If you hadn't been to the foundation and entrusted Director Chen to invite me to join, I, Wang Chenhui, wouldn't have had no food to eat, but I would never have lived as well as I am now."

"Secretary Lu, I am also promoted by you. If you weren't working, whoever knew me, Li Xiaolei, would have chosen me as the chairman."

Chairman Ma stood up and said, "I have been angry with you before I have gained money from you. I have been suffering from others for a few years, but I have been suffering from it for more than ten years. I have been seeing you with kindness and even showing my face. This is to give Lao Xu the face of the children, otherwise I will turn around and leave."

"Assed me, when did I bear it for you?"

"The right and wrong are fair, and everyone in Quanliangzhuang knows it."

...

"Hundreds of thousands, tell me who is so precious? Even if I cured me, Lu Huisheng, how many years can I live? It's not worth it, it's wasted, and it's a sin!" Everyone praised it first, and Lao Ma made jokes. Lao Lu was in a much better mood and finally said what he kept in his heart.

"Secretary Lu, you have made more than a few hundred thousand contributions to Liangzhuang. Besides, if you are sick, you have to see it. Is it interesting to talk about money here?"

Jiao Handong looked back at Li Xiaolei and talked about work differently.

He was interested in this. Since he was hospitalized, he talked about work on the phone almost every day. He had such a loud voice that everyone in the surrounding wards could hear it. In addition, people came to visit him every few days. He knew that he was a retired deputy researcher, and he really thought that he was a provincial and ministerial leader if he didn't know.

What surprised Han Bo was that on the issue that Liangzhuang boss wanted to develop in the county town, he not only did not object but also supported him, but actually did his job in Jiao Handong.

"Only by going out can you have a future. What kind of prospect can you have when you stay in Liangzhuang?"

Lao Lu pointed to Deputy General Huang of BJ Company of Construction Engineering Group, and Mei Fei said: "Cultivation Engineering Group started setting up branches in big cities five or six years ago. Lianggong Group also has many offices outside. If there is no branch and if there is no office, how convenient will the project be taken over now and the equipment be as easy as it is now?

When they go to the county town, the town should support it. Of course, support should be supported by the support, and conditions should be supported. For example, expanding the production scale and opening a branch factory should be built in Liangzhuang, but not in other places. For example, the industrial and commercial tax procedures cannot be changed, especially the local tax must be handed over to the Liangzhuang Taxation Branch."

"But once they leave, they will affect others."

"There will be a lot of impact, but this matter should be viewed in the opposite direction. Didn't Secretary Hou say that the industry should have a layout. Our Liangzhuang needs a few legs to walk together. Liangzhuang's development is not reliable for several leading enterprises. Construction, good labor, good grains, and good pots have developed. You can give them some preferential policies to other enterprises and support other enterprises.

Now, the "Qingcai County Management" is different from when I was a secretary. Even if I keep all the taxes, how much can the town be divided into? The township enterprises have been completely reorganized, and there are no shares in the town. In the future, they can only rely on selling land to support small enterprises and earn land occupation fees. The town has money and can solve employment. Everyone has classes and everyone has money to make money. How great!”

Although Lao Lu has no culture, he has a thorough understanding of these issues.

But it is understandable that when he was the secretary of Liangzhuang, he was thinking about where to make money, get in touch with each other, go through the back door, and even "blackblacking".

When talking about the fact that "the Liangzhuang people's own bank" is about to leave Liangzhuang, Lao Lu is not excited or worried: "Xiaolei, from the perspective of solving the problem, this is indeed a solution. How do you say it? What can you do to oppose it?"

"Do the opposite."

"Yes, it's just going against the rules. But opening a bank is not a trivial matter, because I've been worried about the foundation for many years, and maybe a big mess will happen! Since you have decided and the county supports it, I will definitely not object, but the management must keep up and manage it more strictly than before. A loan that shouldn't be released cannot be released, what if it can't be collected?

It is not impossible to buy the unfinished building left by Xie Lihua. The key is whether the price is appropriate. If you want to negotiate with the county, you should bargain. After the project is completed, you cannot be done by outsiders. The construction group is unwilling to do it, so it is not willing to do it, so it is found in other construction teams in Liangzhuang."

It is easy to change the country and nature is difficult to change. It is still local protectionism.

Han Bo was used to it, and just didn't know whether he should think of a "work" to report to him, Lao Lu's eyes turned to Jiao Handong again.

"Handong, Xiao Han is educated and young. Although he is also a cadre promoted by me, I basically don't need to worry about it, and I can't worry about that. You are different from Xiao Han. Tell me what you plan for yourself."

“What are the plans?”

"There are no outsiders here, don't pretend to be confused if you understand."

Old Lu patted his thighs and pondered: "You are 46 soon. You are not young among deputy department-level cadres. It doesn't matter if you can't be a member of the county party committee standing committee. Since you have become a member of the county party committee, you have to strive for progress. Now leading cadres are mainly appointed in other places. If you stay in Sigang, you can only be the last-ranked member of the standing committee, and you can't be the deputy secretary and deputy county magistrate, let alone the secretary and county magistrate."

"Secretary Lu, stop kidding, I really don't dare to think about these things."

Jiao Handong is not humble, he really dares not think. It is not easy to be a deputy director and become a member of the county party committee standing committee. He has both hard work and luck. He does not rely on any background, nor is he a reserve cadre focused on training by the municipal party committee-organization department.

"Why can't you think, why can't you think?"

He has been working in the township and it really makes him feel embarrassed. Old Lu weighed it and smiled and said, "Forget it, when I didn't say it. You saw it too. The doctor will not let me go out, smoke or drink, and wait for asparagus and Xiuli to accompany you to have dinner."

You can't be polite to him. He is already very guilty if you spend so much money to see a doctor. If you are polite to him, he will feel even more guilty.

After visiting Lao Lu, after dinner at a restaurant near the hospital, I went to greet the two mentors.

Li Xiaolei is familiar with the road. She drove the car just like before, driving her sister-in-law Li Xiaohui's car, waiting for the traffic lights to be at a short time. She suddenly turned around and asked, "Husband, why didn't Secretary Lu say halfway?"

"What happened to Secretary Jiao?"

"Um."

Han Bo thought about it and couldn't help but smile: "Secretary Jiao's trip has not been in vain. Secretary Lu may be calling him to run away now."

"Do you think there is hope?"

"Other veteran cadres may leave and tea will be cold after retirement. Secretary Lu is different. He has never really served as a deputy department-level leader and has been working in townships. His friends are real friends, friends who can help at critical moments, and he rarely asks friends to help like this."

Han Bo scratched his itchy neck and then said, "I have always been disgusted with this kind of thing, but I am not so disgusted with Secretary Jiao. His ability is obvious to all, and his official voice is also good. The reason why it is difficult to be promoted is related to the current cadre appointment system. In the past, village cadres could be promoted and could be promoted to township chiefs or even township party committee secretary, but it is almost impossible now, and township cadres are promoted equally difficult.

Look at the current leadership team of Sigang County. How many of the Standing Committee members are from towns? Even if they have worked in towns for a long time, the other counties are similar. A farmer accounts for the majority of them, but the county leaders do not know much about rural agriculture. So I think there should be more leading cadres like Secretary Jiao who have worked in rural areas for a long time."
