Crime and Punishment: Female Secretary

Chapter 26 New Countryside Construction

Early in the morning, after breakfast in the village, Lin Ruonan accompanied the leaders of the County Party Committee's Agriculture and Industry Department to the Hangkou Group of Fengkou Village to inspect and accept the construction of the new countryside.

Fengkou Village is the most populous village in Pilong Township, with a total population of 2600. There are five natural village groups. Relatively clustered, the disadvantage of the Kengkou Group is that the environment is dirty and messy. Cow feces can be seen everywhere in the village. There is no underground sewage treatment pipeline in the village. The road surface often has sewage converging. The passages are all muddy and rocky. , one foot deep and one foot lower.The excrement from the pig pens and cow pens in the village will also overflow onto the road with the rainwater, causing a foul smell.The local villagers were very distressed by this.In response to this situation, Lin Ruonan took Hangkou Group as the first pilot village for the construction of a new countryside.

Lin Ruonan won the support of the County Department of Agriculture and Industry, the Transportation Bureau, the Health Bureau, the power company and other departments, and jointly raised 11 yuan for the start-up capital of the new rural construction for Kengkou Village.According to the requirements of the village planning, all the cow pens and pig pens in the village were first demolished and moved to the outskirts of the village, and two rows of pig pens and cow pens were built uniformly. Water, flushing toilets were built, and cement roads were built for all passages. At the same time, the rural power grid was transformed to ensure smooth power supply, and greening, beautification, and lighting were carried out on both sides of the entrance to the village.After more than half a year, the Hangkou Formation has built a first-class village in Pilong Township. The roads of the village are now smooth and clean, and rows of farm houses are planned and arranged in an orderly manner. Many fruit trees and landscape trees are planted in front of the house. The group has a new look.The manor-like Kengkou New Village has attracted the attention of other villagers in Pilong Township, and villagers from all villages have come to visit spontaneously.

The staff of the inspection and acceptance team followed the village ring road, circled around, and checked every farmer's home.

Zhang, the leader of the inspection and acceptance team and deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, said with admiration: "Major Lin, this village is well done, with orderly planning and beautiful layout. It is not only a demonstration village in Pilong Township, but also a village in Ganning County. A model village."

"Minister Zhang has won the award. How dare he become a model village in Ganning County. As long as the above funds can be used to build Jiangkou Village into a livable and comfortable village, I will be satisfied, and I will not live up to the high expectations of the organization." Lin Ruonan Said humbly.

"Major Lin is too modest. Your work is obvious to all in the county. You have successfully introduced a large enterprise with a tax revenue of tens of millions, and you have made Pilongxu Town one of the top ten beautiful towns in the province. The Kengkou group has built the best demonstration site for new rural construction in our county, and it has achieved such a great achievement in just two years, how many people in the county can do it?" Vice Minister Zhang sincerely admired, thinking of a More than a year ago, the young female township head was almost drowned by the saliva of the people in the county due to the pollution incident of the Longxiang Chemical Plant. Today, she is praised by the cadres and the masses of the county. Lin Ruonan has successfully turned around with practical actions. .

"This is not the credit of me alone. It is the credit of all the township and village cadres. Without their full support, there would be no Pilong today. For more than a year, the cadres in the township basically did not take vacations, not because they were busy. This is busy, not even taking care of the family, and the real creditors are our township and village cadres."

"Looking forward to it, Chief Lin is still a good leader who takes pity on his subordinates. No wonder the officials at both levels of Pilong Township like you so much."

"Where, as a local leader, we should not only create a good working and living environment for the local people, but also care about the cadres around us, and this is what I lack the most. The cadres have been running like a machine for more than a year."

"Yes, the township cadres have worked hard, not to mention that your township has done so many things in the past two years, it is even more hard work, but it is gratifying to have today's achievements."

"We have to thank your ministry for supporting our work. Without your strong financial and technical support, how could the Hangkou Group be where it is today." Lin Ruonan said gratefully.

"This is what we should do. It's rare to see a leader as pragmatic and hard-working as Mayor Lin. Mayor Lin is about to take over the post of secretary. You have been in charge of the work here for more than a year, and you have made such a Many grades."

"Whether I pick up the secretary or not, I don't care too much. As long as I can do something for the people in Pilong Township, and when I leave, I can still hear a few words from the people here. This mayor Lin is a good person. It’s okay, gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the masses.”

Lin Ruonan chatted with deputy team leader Zhang for a while, and then led them to several other villages to check the situation of the villages listed as demonstration sites for new countryside next year.

The staff of the inspection and acceptance team had just left Pilong, when Lin Ruonan unexpectedly received a call from Luo Ying.

On the phone, Luo Ying said complainingly: "Major Lin, you are busier than the Prime Minister. It's really hard to see you now. You basically don't even remember me as an old friend."

When Lin Ruonan heard this, she felt very guilty, thinking that she hadn't called Luo Ying for so long, let alone cared about her recent situation.

Lin Ruonan never came out to sit and chat with Luo Ying after the pollution incident at the Longxiang Chemical Plant. Every one or two months, Luo Ying would call her and occasionally tell her what happened recently. Ruonan knew that the relationship between Luo Ying and her husband had not been repaired, and her husband had been unwilling to forgive her because of that incident, and Luo Ying, a handsome netizen from far away, was said to have found a mature and beautiful woman in Haizhou.For more than a year, Luo Ying's mental state was not good. Thinking of this, Lin Ruonan said cheerfully: "I have nothing to do today, I will come back to the county seat, and I will treat you to dinner in the afternoon, let's sit together, we haven't met for almost a year. "

"You also know, you heartless guy, you have become the head of the village, and my old friend is basically frozen by you." Luo Ying said resentfully on the phone.

"When I come back this time, I will definitely apologize to Miss Luo and submit to Miss Luo's slaughter."

"Okay, it's rare for you to treat me, I'm going to sharpen my knife and give you a good meal."

"OK, let's make it so, see you when you come back." Lin Ruonan put down the phone, called Deputy Secretary Ge, and asked him to take charge of the work in the township for the next two days, and report to her at any time if there were any important matters.

Lin Ruonan came to the old place, the Yiyuan Clubhouse in the center of the county seat. When she stepped into the lobby, she saw Luo Ying sitting on a rattan chair by the window with her back turned to her.

"Hi, Miss Luo!" Lin Ruonan called, and carefully sized up her old friend whom she hadn't seen for almost a year. Luo Ying was now wearing a very simple light gray dress with no makeup on, and her complexion was a little yellowish. Her face was much thinner than before, and Lin Ruonan was greatly surprised by Luo Ying's appearance this time. Luo Ying, who always loves beauty, never goes out in plain clothes, it seems that she is in a bad mood.

"Here we come." Luo Ying's expression was still slightly melancholy, not as bright and cheerful as before.

"Luo Ying, I'm really sorry."

"Forget it, old friend, I'm sorry, I also know that a lot of things have happened to you recently, and you may be more annoying than me."

"What did you hear?"

"You don't need to hear that, all the cadres in the county know that you Linda Township Chief has a bad relationship with your husband. It is rumored that you had an affair with a foreign businessman. I don't believe this. Who is your Linda Township Chief? You will cheat, and all the women in the world will cheat." When Luo Ying said this, she regained some of her old playful expression.

Lin Ruonan was very sad when she heard this. Although she had a premonition that someone would whisper behind her back, but she didn’t hear it with her own ears, she would always act as if nothing happened. Now that her best friend told this situation, Lin Ruonan was still hurt a feeling of.

"Oh, I'm not as good as you think, maybe what others say is true?" Lin Ruonan smiled helplessly.

"No way? Ruonan, do you really like that foreign businessman from Haizhou?" Luo Ying opened her eyes wide and screamed when she heard this, because when others talked about this to Luo Ying, Luo Ying often He categorically rejected it, saying it was impossible, someone must have framed and slandered him behind the scenes, and now hearing that Lin Ruonan acquiesced, Luo Ying was very shocked.

"Keep your voice down, foreign businessman, foreign businessman, it sounds ugly, his name is Zhao Feiyang, he has a name and surname." Lin Ruonan corrected.

"Really? I heard them say that Zhao is a handsome and cool man. They all say that he is very handsome. Is it true?" Luo Ying began to get excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.Human beings are strange creatures. Whenever they are sad, as soon as they hear something shocking and new, they will immediately divert their attention, forget what happened to themselves, and concentrate on new things. This is what Luo Ying is like at this time. It seems that Lin Ruonan's romantic affair is much more refreshing than her troubles.

Lin Ruonan smiled lightly, expressing his acquiescence.

Luo Ying's eyes were a little green at this time, and she continued to ask curiously: "Have you—?"

Luo Ying didn't say anything, Lin Ruonan also knew what she was referring to, then shook her head helplessly, and told Luo Ying the back and forth with Zhao Feiyang.

"I'm really sorry for you guys. In fact, nothing happened between you in the end. At best, it's just a mental breakdown, so it's not a big deal?" Luo Ying said indignantly.Because Luo Ying heard rumors from outsiders that Lin Ruonan slept with that foreign businessman, that foreign businessman unconditionally gave Lin Ruonan 20 yuan.Because of this matter, when the secretary of the county party committee proposed Lin Ruonan to take over the post of secretary at several standing committee meetings, the other standing committee members unanimously rejected it, saying that Lin Ruonan's affairs with foreign businessmen had caused a lot of speculation and the impact was very bad. A lot of achievements have been made, but there is a problem with his personal style, so the post of secretary of the party committee of Pilong Township has always been vacant.

"Then how is Wu Haijun treating you now? Does he doubt you too?" Luo Ying asked with concern.

Lin Ruonan nodded, and said with a sad face: "Our relationship is basically stagnant now, and I am afraid to go home. If it is not because I want to see my daughter, I would rather stay at work every day."

"Hey, the relationship between me and Cheng Yongping is also in dire straits. As long as he is at home, we basically have a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days. The reason why he doesn't mention the divorce to me is because he still wants to get married again. Sheng, besides, I have to rely on my father's relationship." Luo Ying said lamentingly.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Ruonan said with concern.

"I don't know anymore, let's take one step at a time. What about you, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know what to do. At the beginning of the incident, I was very guilty, but his long-term mental abuse has made me numb. I basically don't feel anything about what he says now. It's just that when the work calms down, You will feel that life is really meaningless, and you don’t know what to live for, whether you should live for the rules, or should you live for your own heart.” Lin Ruonan said blankly.

"I think you should live for your own heart, Lin Ruonan, the most regrettable thing in your life is that you entered the palace of marriage before you have loved. Yi Zhongtian has a saying, he said that when you meet love, don't fall in love with me." Missed, missed love is equivalent to missed life. You said that if we only live in the world for a responsibility, what kind of sadness is that? The environment we live in now is too much emphasis on the so-called responsibility. Obliterate the needs of our nature. When a woman gets married, she loses the right to love. What about men, when they get married, they still look for flowers and ask willows everywhere, why the red flag at home is not down, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. Love love, man Cheating, we women will eventually accept it, but when a woman cheats, men are always reluctant to let go, let’s just say you, you and Zhao or something, it’s not too bad, your old Wu has been doing this for so long. Such vicious words are too much, and what about my old Cheng, too, after that incident, there is no real relationship between us except for the name of husband and wife, and I also heard some rumors about him, Said that he got involved with a director of the family planning office in their township. Did I have a fight with him? It stands to reason that everyone was evened out, but he still did. So, what about women’s liberation and equality? For decades or hundreds of years, it is impossible to be truly equal." Luo Ying complained angrily.

Lin Ruonan was also very emotional when he heard this.The two sat until after ten o'clock in the evening before returning to their respective homes.
