"Yesterday, the village cadres came to the district office to look for my father. They said that the pig farming technicians there are not as good as ours, and they wanted my father to help."
"Did your father agree?"
"My dad didn't say he was going to die. He just said we should raise the pigs first. He also gave them some books on pig farming. It's just too far away, otherwise he could send someone from the farm to give them some guidance."
Sun Zongyuan had an idea and said after a while, "Let them send two or three technicians to learn from us. I think they can learn almost everything in three months."
"Okay, I'll tell Dad."
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Sun Zongming took the registration form for all township party members brought by Lu Yong. He and Lu Yong carefully searched for party members from Xianyuzi in the list of nearly 1,000 party members in the township and looked through it twice. They found a total of three party members from Xianyuzi who were not in the Xianyuzi Village Party Branch.
One is Xu Qingjun, 38 years old, a retired soldier and career worker, now the deputy director of the Fushan work area;
One is an auxiliary police officer of the police station, 32 years old. His father was a retired policeman. He was later assigned to the police station, but he did not have a regular position.
There were two other elementary school teachers, one 45 years old and a bit pedantic, and the other a recent technical secondary school graduate who was urgently reviewing for the entrance exam to the Education College next year.
Sun Zongyuan met with Xu Qingjun privately and raised the problems in the village. However, before he finished speaking, Xu Qingjun dumped all the negative things in the village on Sun Zongyuan.
It turns out that although Guo Maohai looks honest, his financial affairs have not been made public for many years, and the income and expenditure are all handled by his nephew Guo Dejin.
Furthermore, the land distribution among the families was unfair. Some had contracted extra land for years without receiving any contract fees. His family had never paid the three-levy and five-unification taxes, as they were all paid for by the village.
Sun Zongyuan hinted that Xu Qingjun could return to serve as branch secretary, but Xu Qingjun shook his head.
"Secretary Sun, if I go back, will I be a villager or a township cadre? Where will we get our salaries? Besides, if I go back, a good man needs three people to help him. I don't know who has a problem with Guo Maohai."
"I'll answer your question this afternoon, but you have to find a way to build this village team and have the fighting spirit to build this village into the Red Flag Village of our township. How's that? Do you have the confidence?"
"Secretary Sun, I still have a few Party members in our village who are close and have good relationships with me. Guo Maohai won't be so utterly deceiving, right?"
"If you were to vote, how confident would you be?"
"I can't say for sure. I'll have to look at the records of your conversations with the party members to know for sure."
"Okay, I'll show you my conversation notebook. I'll find paper and pen if you need to record anything."
Xu Qingjun read for more than half an hour, wrote down two pages, and then returned the notebook to Sun Zongyuan:
"Secretary Sun, after reading this, I'll do some research. I estimate that 70% of the party members will still support me."
"Okay, wait for me this afternoon!"
Sun Zongyuan found Zhao Yuncheng and gave him a brief report on the situation of Xianyuzi Village, which he was running, and reported in detail the existing problems and plans.
Zhao Yuncheng listened:
"This Xianyuzi Village has been struggling in recent years. Lao Guo is a veteran revolutionary who has been a cadre his entire life. But he's getting old and his thinking is outdated. He can't learn the new reform and opening-up measures well, let alone implement them. It's time for him to take a break."
Sun Zongyuan nodded.
"I agree with Xu Qingjun returning to the village to take up his post. He is a township cadre and his salary is still paid by the township, but since he also serves as the village branch secretary, he can be given a subsidy of one-third of the salary of the branch secretary. After all, he deserves it for doing more work.
Let's set a three-year period. If he can improve Xianyuzi Village, his status can be changed to cadre status. It's not impossible for him to become a work area secretary. What do you think?"
Sun Zongyuan didn't expect Zhao Yuncheng to be more thoughtful than himself, and said quickly:
"Maybe he can even make progress and become a township leader!"
"You're right. We should use people according to their abilities and give them the stage they deserve. The scripts have been distributed to everyone. It all depends on who sings the best. This way, we can have a basis for promoting cadres, and no one can compare!"
Sun Zongyuan had a lot of suggestions in his mind, but Zhao Yuncheng put them forward first. He thought to himself:
"I underestimated the cadres of this era. They are very thoughtful in their considerations!"
After communicating with the organization committee, Xu Qingjun was first arranged to serve as deputy secretary of the Honghua work area to assist Sun Zongyu in carrying out the major rectification activities in Xianyuzi Village.
A day later, Sun Zongyuan came to Xianyuzi Village again. Guo Maohai called Sun Zongyuan into a room privately, and the two began a war without gunpowder:
"Secretary Sun, do you really want to get rid of me?"
"Uncle Guo, you've worked for the revolution your whole life. It's time to take a break!"
"I've been involved in the revolution since I was a child and have never been afraid of any difficulties. Could it be that I haven't completed the work assigned to me by the village?"
"Uncle Guo, your village hasn't trained any new party members in years, and the accounts haven't been made public. The masses and party members have complaints."
"I understand these opinions. If I'm upright, I have nothing to fear."
After one night, Xu Qingjun came to find Sun Zongyuan:
"Guo Maohai's case was settled, and he agreed to give up his position."
"Your method is better than mine. What method do you use so I can learn from it?"
"I just said two things to him: let him step down with dignity, and don't pursue the three mentions and five Tongde issues."
"He just agreed to that? It's out of character for him."
