Everyone exchanged a few greetings in front of the Personnel Bureau and introduced each other. Xue Xiang learned that the director of the Su surname was Su Xinghe and the director of the Liu surname was Liu Xiu. The names of the two were both famous people he knew.

After chatting for a few words, everyone got on the car at the invitation of Su Xinghe and drove towards Chengtian County. Xue Xiang left Beijing and went to the province. He walked along the way, and he didn't want to be so arrogant, so he would have stopped quietly. If he hadn't been the deputy director of the People's Commune Revolutionary Committee, the county-level administrative district would not be able to get around it anyway, so he really wanted to get off the commune and take office directly.

But Xiaowang had some truth, saying that it was not appropriate for us to get out of the ministry and bypass the province. We could not bypass the area no matter what. Even if we were bypassed, we would report it to the lower level. So we went to the Personnel Bureau quietly and asked the Bureau to send cadres to accompany us. Where did we know, we were careful and careful, but the province would know and send people.

Everyone was speechless all the way. When Chengtian County was far away, it was already the setting sun.

Chengtian County is an old city, and during the Ming Dynasty, a vassal king Chengtian found fortune and entered the capital to become the emperor. After his mother and the old empress dowager died, she buried her hometown, so she built an imperial tomb in Chengtian County. Therefore, the old city and the imperial tomb were preserved very early, and even during the catastrophe, it was not destroyed. Therefore, the old city walls and gates are still preserved.

Xue looked through the window, but saw a mottled and quaint city wall standing quietly under the desolate sunset. Before he could get close, he felt the vicissitudes and thickness of the deep-lined wall carved out by the long years.

The city wall is not tall, two floors up and down; the thickness of the wall is not nearly enough, and it is impossible to estimate, and it seems that it will not be too thick. After all, Jianghan Province has been a town of fish and rice since ancient times, with very few wars. Chengtian County is in the heart of Jianghan Province. It has not been chaotic for a long time, so the people here do not need to use the high and thick city walls to add a sense of security.

The car finally entered Chengtian County, and Xue Xiang felt that he was suddenly in a black and white film movie.

Previously, he left the capital and went to the Han River. He passed by either mountains and rivers, or provincial capitals or large cities. Although the cities he saw along the way were incomparable to the thousands of weather conditions of the capital, he had the pattern and prototypes of later cities.

But after entering Chengtian County, Xue Xiang didn't know how to express his feelings. Looking at the vicissitudes of the city walls before, the heavy feeling turned into a deep sigh at this time.

Xue Xiang never expected that the county town in the 1970s would be so backward. There were few gray-white buildings on the streets and tall buildings. As he walked along, he only saw a four-story gray building when he passed by the county radio station. This was probably the tallest building in Chengtian County. There were few pedestrians on the street, and most of them were wearing torn clothes and old pants and covered in pudding.

Xue Xiang stared out the window for a long time, and his heart was so depressed that he could not breathe. He was born in the 1980s, a happy generation born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Even if he traveled through time, he was also in the center of the country and the center of all supplies, the capital city.

Although the material in the capital nowadays is far less abundant than that in later generations, he has barely achieved a well-off and electrified through his "speculation" and "take away" through clever tricks. However, the backward county towns and the poor people have made him feel the specific style of the entire Republic in the 1970s. Even if the county town is like this, what would the end of his trip be, the small village that sounds like a mountain valley?

…………………

The car stopped in front of a three-story building with red walls and red tiles. As soon as everyone got off the car, they met two middle-aged people. The two middle-aged people were wearing navy blue round-necked Zhongshan suits, one was fat and the other was thin. Judging from the outfits and expressions, they must be government staff.

Sure enough, the two walked closer, smiled and welcomed a few times, and introduced their identities. Unexpectedly, these two were all members of the county revolutionary committee. The fat man was called Geng Fulin, the deputy director of the revolutionary committee in charge of politics and law, and the thin man was Chen Guangming, the secretary-general of the revolutionary committee and the head of the agricultural publicity group.

The two of them obviously got the news in advance. As soon as they came up, they didn't even bother to say hello to the central government, provincial government, Xiaomouzi, who came down from the ground, and asked whom was Comrade Xue who wanted to go to Koshantun.

Upon hearing this, Xue Xiang had to stand up and say hello to the two of them. From now on, these two can be said to be their own leaders. How can they not bow their heads under the eaves? Even though he, Master Xue, is invincible in the four or nine cities, even if he is in the officialdom, he will have to follow the rules.

Geng and Chen did not lead everyone into the building, and said that they would go down to the place first and then have dinner at the Hu family neighborhood. They also said that the famous dish "Boiled Yellow Crocodile" there is good, which is a local specialty, so that everyone can try it.

There are all human spirits here, and no one can see the joints? Hong Tianfa, Su Xinghe, and Liu Xiu even sighed in his heart, "It's not easy to be an official, but a fellow man."

These guys all had the same idea, thinking that Comrade Xue’s high-quality resources are just mastered by themselves. If they spread out, how can they be effective? Everyone should show their magical powers and operate them quietly.

Hearing it, he went down immediately, and his beard looked at Xue Xiang, meaning that he would decide. Xue Xiang was completely unlucky. He had been walking along the way and kept turning around. No matter how bad the thatched hut in the valley was, it was better than this one, floating around. At that moment, he nodded in agreement.

Everyone saw Xiaowang's look, and they became more and more sure that this person must be the legendary 19th City Yamen. Everyone was happy. How could this golden lump have ever appeared in our remote countryside? We have to catch it this time, hurry up.

The matter was settled, and everyone was waiting to set off, but the green jeep could not squeeze out others no matter what. Fortunately, Geng and Chen were both the number one figures in Chengtian County. In a moment, they called a motor vehicle - Dongfanghong Tractor. Black smoke burst out and ran in front of everyone.

……………………

The supper was not eaten in the Hujia District, but it ended up at the second-last stop of Xue Xiang's trip - Kuaihuopu People's Commune. The leaders of the district gathered at Kuaihuopu today to discuss the plan proposed by the community to "learn Western Jin Dynasty and build a large land" but there was no one in the district. Everyone had to go to the community under the guidance of the clerk, and the dinner was naturally held in the commune's canteen.

It is said that it is a dinner party, but it is just a gild. It means that two large red-painted Eight Immortals tables are put together in a large canteen, and there are six big dishes on the table. It is said that it is a big dish, just because the dishes are really utterly large - they are all porcelain basins for washing your face.

In Xue Xiang's opinion, the dinner was not rich. The six major dishes were actually two meats and four vegetables, and vegetarian dishes accounted for the majority. The six dishes were cooked pig heads, a pot of sharp peppers and a pot of pork in the water, plus three pots of home-cooked vegetables, and the last pot of peanuts and broad beans were all piled up.

After the dishes were served, most of the people on the table immediately collapsed. It was not Xue Xiang, Xiaomouzi, Su Xinghe, Liu Xiu, Hong Tianfa, these far-reaching guests looked unhappy, but the county and district leaders led by Geng Fulin, Chen Guangming and others were so cold that their faces were almost frozen.

Geng Fulin was most angry. The officials of Chengtian County here respected him, so he naturally regarded himself as half of the landlord. But what is he going to do when the Kuaihuopu Commune creates such a table? This is to look good on your own. No matter how poor you Kuaihuopu Commune is, can you not even pull out a pig?

This is obviously a sign of being ugly, and it’s a big deal to hit Chengtian County! I didn’t introduce anyone who came before. You are going to throw Chengtian County from the region and the province to the central government!

Geng Fulin was inconvenient for the inconvenience of the beard and others in front of him, so he stared at the cadres of the District Revolutionary Committee with his eyes so bulging that his eyes were almost flying out of his sockets. His sinister eyes made everyone in the district tremble.

Liao Xuebing, director of the district revolutionary committee, is an old man in his fifties. When the waiter in the commune canteen brought the basin of radish, cabbage and pigs to the table, the old man's first reaction was that someone was smearing himself. When Geng Fulin's vicious eyes swept over, Liao Xuebing was asking Ma Shankui, the head of the commune, with his eyes.

The old man was almost furious now. Not to mention the leaders of the Central Committee and the Provincial Government, but when did the leaders of the Local Revolutionary Committee come? If you don’t grasp this great opportunity, what are you going to do? You have to smash a big pot, burn the sky fire, and dig my ancestral grave.

Liao Xuebing is fifty-one today. He has been the top leader of Hujia Street for six or seven years, but no one has been on the top and has been stuck in his current position and cannot make any progress. When Xiao Liu, a clerk in the district, rushed to the Kuaihuo Shop to inform the big leaders that there were not only leaders in the county, but also in the province, and even the central government, the old man's first reaction was that Xiao Liu was hysterical.

When Dong Feihong took the lead, thud and thud and thud and thud, the old man saw Geng Fulin's black face through the black smoke, and he completely believed Xiao Liu's words. He knew that Director Geng loved face the most, and there was only one jeep in the county, which everyone used for public use. If the jeep was not free, Director Geng would not even ride a bicycle and would not lose face by tractor.

At this moment, Director Geng was sitting in Dongfang Hong and was smiling, and was so majestic that the small car behind him was not the big leader, that was the hell.

After confirming Xiao Liu's words, the old man arranged the reception task as soon as possible. The welcome ceremony and introduction meeting were held in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere, and everything was developing in a good direction.

Liao Xuebing was also very happy. Director Geng and Member Chen's eyes looked at him softer and softer. The fat director of the area smiled and patted his shoulders. The upper level route was about to be connected, and the door to promotion had already opened.

Unexpectedly, a pot of pig went into the water and put the table on it, cut off the line that had just been built, and closed the door that opened the gap.

The old man was so angry that his eyes turned black. Fortunately, he had been tested for a long time. He knew that he was self-destructive in public, so he didn't overturn the table, smash the chair, and cursed.
Chapter completed!
