Chapter 94
At noon, Teacher Pan was going to have lunch in the county.
Teacher Pan said, "Qiao Wei..."
Qiao Wei said directly, "Teacher, I won't go. I still have work to do."
After all, she was a female comrade, and it was not convenient to sit on a table full of men. Teacher Pan nodded and encouraged her, "Do a good job."
Qiao Wei glanced at Yan Lei.
Yan Lei also glanced at her.
The couple exchanged glances for more than ten rounds in an instant.
Everyone knew that they were a couple and watched with a smile.
One was tall and masculine, the other was bright and generous.
Strength and intelligence, how well matched, pleasing to the eye.
Qiao Wei returned to the department office, and the atmosphere was very different.
"Qiao Wei is back."
"You've been away for so long."
"What did you talk about?"
Everyone smiled at her.
Wu Aizhen was the one who had the best relationship with her. She came over and said, "I never thought that your lover was Yan Lei."
Qiao Wei laughed, "Is he so famous?"
"Of course." Wu Aizhen said, "He is a war hero."
Wu Aizhen didn't tell the whole truth. It should be that he was still a young war hero who looked so energetic.
If he was a little older and uglier, he would not have left such a deep impression on them.
She was even more embarrassed to say that later, when the military region office held a social event, each unit had to send people, and she and her colleagues went.
They dressed up beautifully and had a little expectation in their hearts.
But they didn't see Yan Lei and returned disappointed.
They didn't expect that one day they would be colleagues with Yan Lei's lover.
Everyone went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, and everyone smiled at Qiao Wei.
What about the spouse of a regimental-level cadre? Corresponding to the administrative level, the same level as Secretary Meng. If Yan Lei were to change his job now, he could at most be arranged to be a county party secretary or county governor, and he would definitely not fall out of the scope of the Standing Committee.
But he is still so young, and it is obviously impossible for him to change his job now. If he changes his job in the future when his rank is higher, he will be a cadre of a higher level.
At that time, it may not be enough.
However, just when the afternoon work time came, the phone call came to the Propaganda Department.
Section Chief Zhou informed Qiao Wei: "Pack your things and go to the office. You will work there from now on."
Qiao Wei said: "I still have some work to do."
"Oh, who is that, Xiao Zhang." Section Chief Zhou raised his hand and said, "Give it to Xiao Zhang, don't worry about it. Pack your things."
Qiao Wei readily handed over the work in the Propaganda Department.
There was nothing to pack. She stuffed her lunch box, notebook, and fountain pen into her shoulder bag, and her own small lock into her shoulder bag and carried it on her back. She also
carried her military water bottle on her back.
The ink was public, so she didn't need to take it. There was also some in the office.
Qiao Wei held her enamel teacup: "Everyone, I'm going over now."
Everyone stood up to see her off.
"Come visit often in the future."
"Remember to come visit me."
This secondment ended her stay in the Propaganda Department.
Qiao Wei went to the office to report.
Secretary Huang smiled when he saw her.
Secretary Huang's smile was impeccable from any angle. He pointed and said, "That table is yours."
The table had been tidy and clean, with nothing on it. It was completely empty.
Qiao Wei went to put her things there and opened the drawer to put her lunch box. She wiped it with her fingers and found that even the drawer was clean. She
had dealt with the clerk named Pan on her first day here and sat across from her. He handed her a brand new bottle of ink: "Here."
The daily work in the office was writing and writing. In the days when there were no printers, all that was consumed was pen ink.
Qiao Wei took it with a smile, sat down, and took a look around.
The county party committee office is a large room.
Secretary Huang's position is independent, which is different from others. She was facing him diagonally across the aisle and could see his face.
At the end of the aisle is the door to Secretary Meng's office. Secretary Meng's office is a suite inside the large room.
Secretary Huang is the closest and is always ready to receive instructions.
From an administrative perspective, the office should have an office director, who is usually concurrently a member of the standing committee.
Qiao Wei has been traveling frequently between the office and departments recently and has learned a little bit. Secretary Meng is relatively powerful. Although the office director has a title, he does not interfere in specific matters on a daily basis unless there is something important.
Basically, this position is hollowed out.
Secretary Meng's instructions are directly conveyed to various departments through Secretary Huang. In fact, Secretary Huang took on some of the functions of the director of the office.
Therefore, in the county committee compound, Secretary Huang is particularly useful.
Secretary Huang is a practical person and a clerical secretary. In fact, there is another secretary in the office who arranges the leaders' various schedules, life services, etc.
That secretary is a nephew of another standing committee member. His ability to handle affairs is very average.
Secretary Meng put him in this position for the sake of face, and after a while, he was not useful, so he was left in the office.
Another clerk, Secretary Pan, was often asked to follow him on daily specific affairs, and he became a de facto secretary.
Secretary Meng placed him under Secretary Huang. Although Officer Pan was responsible for specific tasks, he was under Secretary Huang's arrangement.
Secretary Huang was actually the backbone of the office.
Although he was young, he was a very capable person and should not be underestimated.
Qiao Wei went from the Xiahekou Town Radio Station to the Propaganda Department of the Yongming County Party Committee and then to the County Party Committee Office. She
settled down.
When she returned home, she saw Yan Lei as soon as she entered the door. He came back early because he was out today.
Qiao Wei went over to pinch him: "Can you do it? You always attack suddenly. I'll kill you if I give you a warning."
Qiao Wei was really impressed by Yan Lei's words.
He was really strict.
Before things were done successfully, he would not let you know anything.
Of course, Qiao Wei understood that this was also one of the characteristics of a successful person.
But, but... she still pinched him.
Yan Lei smiled and grabbed her hand: "What's there to preview? It's the same whether I preview or not."
Then what's the smugness in your eyes?
Tsk.
"As soon as you left, I was immediately transferred to the office." Qiao Wei said, "I am now assigned to the office, and I don't have to do the work of the Propaganda Department in the future."
Yan Lei was still dissatisfied: "It should have been done
a long time ago." "You were originally seconded by Secretary Meng. It should be because you won the award and caught his eye. Now is a critical stage for him, he must want more talents around him."
"You should be placed directly in the office. He knows that you are the family of a regimental-level cadre. It is wrong to put you in the Propaganda Department. I always feel it is weird."
Qiao Wei said: "Then you can't go to disturb Commander Pan."
Yan Lei smiled and said: "I was supposed to go there for a meeting. This was arranged a long time ago. I am not that capable of arranging matters for the commander."
"If you don't tell me, how did Commander Pan know that I was in the Propaganda Department? He even went to see it specially. It was such a big scene."
Qiao Wei still felt that it was too much of a fuss.
"When you were outside, didn't you have any sense of being a military family?" Yan Lei knocked her head, "You are a military family, a family of the military. You are from the military region, and the military region leaders must protect you. We are the children of the military region, and the leaders are our parents. Whose parents don't protect their shortcomings?"
The strength of the army is very strong, and it belongs to the units that no one wants to mess with.
The leaders are also very strong.
In those ten years, it was probably the safest place.
Qiao Wei deeply felt that it was great to have the identity of a military family.
Yan Lei told Qiao Wei another good news: "After National Day, we will start distributing milk."
Qiao Wei said, "Finally!"
Qiao Wei mentioned the milk issue to Yan Lei, and Yan Lei mentioned it at the meeting of the military district.
Because it was a matter that benefited his family, it was taken seriously. The leaders arranged it for the logistics department.
In order to ensure the supply of meat, the military district originally raised pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.
Cows were raised for drinking milk. The logistics department investigated for a while and decided to raise buffaloes to produce buffalo milk based on the actual geographical conditions.
Qiao Wei was told about it at the time, and Qiao Wei mentioned the issue of raw milk spreading brucellosis. Yan Lei gave feedback to the logistics department. The logistics department worked with the military doctors to study the disinfection and sterilization plan.
In the meantime, there were also various details such as procurement, building cow sheds, feed, and bottling.
In this era, when all local units were procrastinating in their work style, the army was unique and acted with great force. They did what they said and built the milk station in a hurry.
"That's great. After the festival, Xiangxiang will have milk to drink." Qiao Wei was happy. "
It's going to be a holiday soon." Yan Lei suddenly asked her, "Do you want to do something during the National Day."
Qiao Wei said, "Isn't there a big market?"
It is said that there is a big market.
But Yan Lei has other ideas.
"Let's go to the county photo studio to take a photo." He said.
Qiao Wei had no objection: "Okay."
The two of them washed vegetables and cut meat. While Qiao Wei was cooking, Yan Lei wiped his hands and went to the main room. There
was a large photo frame hanging on the wall, with a few photos pressed inside.
There were solo photos of him and her. There
was also a wedding photo of the two of them. When taking this photo, the photo studio pinned a red velvet flower on your chest. Of course, it turned out to be black and white. But with this flower, it became a wedding photo.
Yan Lei looked at the black and white photo.
He was smiling.
At that time, he didn't know how his marriage would go. He married the educated city girl he longed for, and had many expectations for the future.
But there was no smile on her face at that time.
The next photo was a photo of Yan Xiang's 100th day, a family photo of three.
Not only was there no smile on her face, but there was also a hint of gloom between her brows.
Yan Lei came home early today. When he was cleaning the house, he looked up and saw a photo frame that he had not noticed for a long time. When he saw her in the photo, he was stunned.
It was almost...
it was almost as if...
Yan Lei stood there for a long time holding his chin, not knowing why he felt so powerless.
He said to himself, didn't we say it was all in the past?
But it didn't seem to be something that was in the past.
It seemed like a strange feeling, but he didn't want to think about it too much.
He wanted to take some new photos.
Maybe with new photos, that uncomfortable feeling would disappear.
