official journey ups and downs

After more than three hours of turbulence, Shen Tong finally arrived at the southernmost town of Shihe from Beizhai Township at the northernmost point of Dongquan.

When Shen Tong got out of the car, a motorcycle whizzed by, and the dust swirled up. Shen Tong quickly slapped it with his hands, covered his mouth again, and slapped the dust on his body vigorously with the other hand.This move made the villagers who got off the car cast strange eyes.Perhaps the villagers have long been accustomed to this kind of environment, and they walked away calmly, muttering "poor and exquisite" in their mouths.

Shen Tong also realized that his behavior was "out of line" and was a little embarrassed.Although he was also a farmer himself, five years of urban life had transformed him from a "mud-legged man" to a "city resident", and it was a bit uncomfortable to come back suddenly.

The bus left, the villagers dispersed, and the dust settled, leaving only Shen Tong standing in place.He cared about his gentlemanly demeanor, but forgot to ask the town government how to get there.

Shen Tong received a call from the Cadre Section of the Organization Department of the county party committee yesterday, asking him to report to work as soon as possible.This exciting news made Shen Tong stay up all night. He got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, put on the new suit he just bought, stood in front of the mirror for more than 20 minutes, and finally pulled out a hair on his forehead just give up.

It is also the first time for Shen Tong to come to Shihe Town, and he used to pass by when he was in a car.Shen Tong waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, so he bit the bullet and walked along the street.It should be said that the houses of the town government are generally outstanding in the village. It should not be difficult to find the government buildings, but Shen Tong has walked nearly 500 meters, but still can't find them, which makes him a little nervous.

Just then, a woman came out of the yard to take out the trash.Shen Tong immediately walked over to ask.The woman had obviously just woken up, drowsy, her hair was fluffy, and she was wearing a striped tights that tightly wrapped her two large breasts and fell to her waist.Seeing Shen Tong's "unusual" attire, even the township cadres don't wear it like this. He is either a nouveau riche or a jerk.The woman replied weakly: "It's right in front." Then she turned and went back.

Although Shen Tong was unhappy, he still forced a smile and said thank you.In the past, Shen Tong often saw the secretary of the county party committee speak on TV, saying that the people of Dongquan are simple, kind, warm and friendly, and the villagers in his hometown are indeed like this. Why are the villagers in Shihe Town so "unfriendly"?

Shen Tong didn't have time to think about it, and walked more than 200 meters, and finally saw the sign of "Shihe Town People's Government" in an inconspicuous corner.The rusty signboard is full of vicissitudes, and the word "river" is missing three dots, and it has become "Shike Town".The gate is very low, and the mud on the wall has also exposed the blue bricks after the baptism of wind and rain. If it weren't for the signboard of the town government, people would think it was a yard that had been abandoned for a long time.Shen Tong was a little disappointed. He was in a good mood at first, but now it has plummeted.

Shen Tong walked into the yard, suddenly enlightened.The neat rows of bungalows are also neat and tidy. The yard is paved with refractory bricks. It is so clean that there is hardly a single piece of paper. There is actually a basketball hoop on the right side of the yard, which makes Shen Tong, who loves sports, feel very happy. feel kind.But there was no one in the yard, which made Shen Tong doubtful.

Shen Tong quickly found the office in the first row of houses. The door was ajar. Shen Tong took a deep breath, knocked on the door lightly, and asked, "Is anyone there?"

After waiting for a long time, no one answered.

Shen Tong knocked on the door again, but still no one answered.

Just as he was about to knock on the door again, a slightly fat woman opened the door with an ugly face and said loudly: "Knock what, don't you see the door is open? Just come in." , then turned around and went in.

Shen Tong's face was reddish, and he was very embarrassed. He didn't expect that on the first day of work, he bumped into obstacles everywhere, and his heart was filled with anger.Shen Tong clenched his fist fiercely, pushed the door open and entered.

The office is very simple. The south side of the room is divided into two areas by two desks, several sets of bookcases are placed on the west side, and four sets of dilapidated sofas are placed on the side by the window.I saw the woman from just now returned to her desk, she didn't look at Shen Tong directly, but flipped through the newspaper while nibbling sunflower seeds.

Before Shen Tong could speak, the woman spoke: "Who are you looking for? This is the town government, and not just anyone can come in. Tell me, what are you selling?"

Shen Tong smiled helplessly, it turned out that he was regarded as a salesman.Then he replied cautiously: "Hello, my name is Shen Tong, and I am a business employee recruited by our county this time. I am here to report today."

Hearing this, the woman raised her head and looked at Shen Tong, but she was still eating melon seeds, and said disdainfully: "Oh, you are a newly assigned college student." There was a slight doubt in her tone.

Shen Tong smiled at her, and replied: "Yes."

"Then why are you here alone? Didn't the Organization Department send someone to see you off?" the woman asked.

These words made Shen Tong confused, so he replied: "Yesterday morning, I received a call from the organization department, asking me to report for duty today."

"Oh, then you go back, come back another day, the secretary is not here today." After speaking, the woman didn't strike up a conversation with Shen Tong, she just cared about entertaining herself.

The words left Shen Tong at a loss as to what to do, neither to stay nor to leave.For today, I carefully prepared all night, and let me go back to my original place with the sentence "the secretary is not here". Shen Tong wanted to go up and give her two slaps, but his reason told him to be patient.He asked cautiously, "Where did the secretary go? When will he be back? I'll just wait."

The woman raised the decibel and said in a loud voice: "I don't know where the secretary is. He comes over to report the itinerary to me when he goes out. He can come and go freely. I can control it. I don't care when I come back." Got it. I advise you to go back, the wait is in vain, maybe you will come back at night, maybe tomorrow."

Shen Tong felt a rush of blood rushing from his heels to the top of his head, and he was ridiculed for no reason. He was in a bad mood at first, but now he fell to the bottom.Although this woman does not look very good, she has a sharp mouth that is as delicate as a spring, and the words fall on the mouth, blood can be seen on the knife, which makes people very disgusted and extremely uncomfortable.

Knowing that it would be fruitless to stay any longer, Shen Tong turned around and left the office.
