Chapter 133 Meeting
On the day of the meeting, Wang Dapao got up early in the morning and packed his things. He wore a formal Mao suit inside, and after thinking for a while, he put on a large cotton jacket outside. After all, the temperature was more than ten degrees below zero at that time, and he could not be willful.
Facing the mirror, she smeared some hair oil and combed her hair neatly behind her head. Then she looked at herself carefully and uttered a slightly dissatisfied sound. It was a pity that she lacked a military coat. Otherwise, she would look very stylish if she put the coat on outside.
After everything was packed up, he called a large group of people and rode to the Zhongxing Brigade.
The People's Commune was the predecessor of the township government. The titles of civil servants were not much different from now, except that there were not as many civil servants as there are now.
The commune has a party committee with a secretary and a deputy secretary, as well as positions such as party committee clerk and administrative clerk.
There is also a president and two vice presidents. The name was changed some time ago. The president was changed to director of the Revolutionary Committee and the vice president was changed to deputy director.
At that time, the grass-roots police stations had not yet been established, but the commune had a full staff of public security commissioners, judicial officers, workers, youth and women's officials.
The old president did a good job and was transferred to the city some time ago. Originally, one of the two vice presidents should have taken over the position, but unfortunately, before the two vice presidents could show their skills and use their magical powers, a big shot suddenly appeared and sat on the position they had been dreaming of.
Wang Dapao was an airborne soldier. He was a new officer and had three things to do right after taking office. He felt that his foundation was not stable and wanted to perform well. Every day he took a group of his subordinates to the production brigade for meetings. Except for some particularly ambitious ones, the others complained bitterly. After all, it was freezing cold and it was very painful to stay outside for two hours without doing anything.
As soon as Wang Dapao rode into the Zhongxing Brigade, a large group of children surrounded him on both sides of the road, jumping and shouting slogans.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"
"Welcome Director Wang to our brigade to give us guidance!"
"Hello, Director Wang! Hello, everyone!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Wang, and thank you to all the staff for your hard work!"
This was the first time he was welcomed so warmly. The children blocked the way. Seeing this, Wang Dapao also got out of the car, pushed the car, and walked cordially with the little comrades.
The children gathered around him, chattering, and then reluctantly led him into the auditorium.
When he arrived at the auditorium, Wang Dapao felt his toes were cold.
After entering the auditorium, the children pulled him to sit in the only seat in the first row.
"Director Wang, please take a seat!"
Wang Dapao sat down, and a child brought him an enamel pot of tea: "Director Wang, please have some tea!"
Wang Dapao took a sip and it was warm.
Another child brought a brazier and said, "Master, please warm yourself up. Be careful of getting burned!"
There were a few half-burned charcoals in the brazier, but they wouldn't light.
After everyone was seated, Xia Zhizhi was on the stage: "wei, wei, wei (second tone)"
"Hello, fellow hardworking and courageous folks, and fellow wise and decisive commune leaders!"
"Well, hey! Today is the day when our dear Director Wang comes to the countryside to give us guidance. All of us members have been looking forward to this day for a long time. It really is a blessing in disguise!"
"Under the wise leadership of all the leaders, our Zhongxing Brigade is getting better and better... Back in the day, Fuxi taught people to tie ropes to make nets for fishing and hunting, and to give the skin of a bride as a gift for marriage. But it is not as wise as our Kao Chief. Our Director Wang has a heart towards the sun, and under the leadership of the old chief..."
"Let's talk about Huangdi. He planted hundreds of grains and plants, vigorously developed production, invented clothing, built boats and carriages, created musical instruments, and wrote Huangdi Neijing. But he is still not as good as the old leader...our Director Wang..."
"The story of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is over. Let's talk about the 8,500-word story of the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor... It's not as good as the old leader..."
Xia Zhizhi had someone punch a hole in the newly repaired window, facing Wang Dapao's position. The north wind was howling, and the brazier under his feet burned out in less than five minutes. The wind made him shiver, and his hands were shaking. He took the enamel pot and wanted to drink a sip of water, but the warm water in the cup was frozen into ice. He took a sip and felt cool and refreshed.
Among the commune officials, there were those who supported the former vice-president, and naturally there were also those who wanted to curry favor with the new director.
An official saw that their director was shivering like a dog from the cold, so he went to ask the other members to borrow charcoal. There was not much charcoal in the village. They were just sparks from burning firewood. Besides, even if there were sparks, wouldn't people know how to warm themselves up? Everyone was cold.
I finally begged my grandfather to bring me a pot of fire, but I haven't even started to offer my greetings yet.
Got robbed halfway.
Xiao Xianyu is Deputy Director Xiao's niece. Her uncle's position was originally occupied, but it was taken away by a paratrooper. So naturally she stood on Deputy Director Xiao's side and was against Wang Dapao.
To be honest, as a deputy director in her family, she is definitely no match for the director, but she still has allies.
Bai Yu is the secretary's niece. Originally, the secretary planned that no matter which of the two deputy directors was promoted, there would always be a vacant position, and he was looking for an opportunity to promote his niece.
Of course, it is impossible to directly promote him to deputy director, but he can promote small leaders from other offices and then insert his niece to take over.
This Wang Cannon came out of nowhere and really affected the interests of many people, so they blamed others for targeting him.
You have a peaceful life because Comrade Wang Dapao is carrying the heavy load forward.
Bai Yu and Xiao Xianyu grabbed the brazier and left.
He couldn't afford to offend either of them, so the clerk looked at He Dundun beside him with an innocent look on his face.
He Dundun threw up his hands and said, "I can't help it. You know, I'm just here to watch the fun."
He Dundun chased after him after she finished speaking. She wanted to rub the brazier. This educated youth was even more arrogant than the principal she had when she was in school. Not only was Wang Dapao cold, she was cold too!
After the three of them had grabbed the brazier and went back, the stage began to talk about the founding emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties.
Wang Dapao was wiping his nose and shivering.
To be honest, he was happy when he first heard Xia Zhizhi praising him so much.
From being flattered to being elated.
Then you get used to it and lose the taste of food.
Now he was sitting on pins and needles, after all, his position as the chief was not only cold, but also windy. The wind was so cold that it made his hair, which he had combed with hair oil in the morning, fall down. His nose was running continuously, and if he hadn't squeezed it out in time, he would have been frozen into a popsicle.
By the time Xia Zhizhi talked about the corruption of the Ming and Qing governments, Wang Dapao was already in agony. Those who didn't know would have thought that it was Cixi who had ruined his kingdom.
Finally she started talking about the founding of New China. The motherland was getting better and better under the leadership of the leaders. The weather outside also changed. Snowflakes blew in through the small holes. Wang Dapao felt like the little match girl who vaguely saw his dear grandmother in the cold wind.
Xia Zhizhi glanced at Wang Dapao's expression and moved her butt. There was a brazier under her stool, which was filled with coal, and it was a little hot after being roasted for too long.
He poured himself a cup of hot water from the kettle at his feet and took two sips to moisten his throat: "Okay, let's not talk about the past, that's all in the past. The present is the most important thing. We must base ourselves on the present, look to the future, focus on the overall work of the Party and the country, implement the central idea of the 11th Plenary Session of the 8th Central Committee, and create brilliance under the leadership of the commune leaders..."
Wang Dapao was so numb that he heard her say, "Okay, I won't say much. Now let's invite our outstanding Young Pioneers to come on stage and pay tribute to Director Wang!"
