, and said to Xiao Zheng: "Councillor Xiao, I'll take you back to the town now." 。"Xiao Zheng simply replied, "Good, thank you, Li Changwei." 。The car drove into the Tianhuang Town Government compoun...Xiao Zheng signed his name on the "Application for Compensation" report and handed it to Guan Zhenzhang, saying, "Weige, you always think of me in everything you do. I don't know how to thank you."Guan Wenwei's name has the character "Wei," so Xiao Zheng started calling him "Weige." 。" 'Viagra' Or how about 'Uncle Guan'!" Guan Wenwei seemed to have some reservations about the term "Mr. Wei". Saying this, he shoved the report into a drawer: "Why thank me I helped you because I also have my own 'agenda', you know I'm waiting for the day when you rise to a very high position and can pull me, your old brother, along with you." 。Xiao Zhēng said, "I'll get promoted to a very high position That would have to wait until the year of the monkey!" Guan Wenwei said, "Don't worry about that, I think highly of you" 。Just remember me, your old brother, when the time comes. 。"That's a given," said Xiao Zheng. Guan Wenwei could be considered Xiao Zheng's mentor, and with Guan Wenwei looking out for him in town, many things were indeed much easier. 。The two chatted happily. Guan Wenwei even took out a cigarette and they smoked together. 。Leaving Guan Wenwei's office, Xiao Zheng received a call from his mother from the hospital. "Son," she said, "the doctor said your father can almost be discharged. When can you come to the hospital" Xiao Zheng looked at his watch. It was only a few minutes before quitting time. He said, "I'm coming right over." 。Xiao Zheng then went back to Guan Wenwei's office and asked for a short leave. 。Guan Wenwei said, "It's such a small matter, why are you asking me for leave You're being too formal" Before, Xiao Zheng was a small cadre at the safety supervision station and had to ask Deputy Mayor Jin Hui for leave. Now, as a member of the Party Committee and Deputy Mayor, he actually has more autonomy. But Xiao Zheng felt that at this time, he must inform Mayor Guan. 。Just because people respect you doesn't mean you can act recklessly. You should also respect them. 。This way, we can treat each other with more respect. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Guan Zhen, it's not for any other reason, just don't want to give the population a ..." 。Guan Wenwei listened and nodded: "Being meticulous in this aspect is a good thing." 。Being late or leaving early, although not a big deal, is something that people might take issue with. 。Many people in our town should learn from you. 。It seems that Xiao Zheng reporting to Guan Wenwei was quite pleasing to him. 。As a leader, keeping track of subordinates' updates is both a work necessity and a psychological need. 。Xiao Zheng asked the driver Xiao Zhong to first take him to the county people's hospital and then come back to pick up Director Gao. 。As he reached the hospital entrance, Xiao Zheng happened to encounter a group of uniformed personnel and several medical staff escorting two people sitting in wheelchairs out of the hospital. 。At first glance, Xiao Zheng recognized them. They were actually Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyou, the suspects who had been involved in an attempted crime. 。Public officials in uniform are from the Public Security and the Procuratorate. 。Xiao Zheng wanted to find Deputy Director Xu Changyun and Deputy Prosecutor Zhou Ling, but he didn't find them. His gaze fell on Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu instead. 。Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu had tasted Xiao Zheng's suffering and had firmly imprinted his image in their minds. 。The two were originally being pushed in wheelchairs, looking dejected and disheartened. However, when they accidentally caught sight of Xiao Zheng, they seemed to forget their pain altogether and tried to push their wheelchairs towards him. 。A public official discovered the situation and quickly stepped in. One of the officers shouted, "Settle down, don't move around, or we'll put shackles on you." 。Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu were still unwilling, reaching out to Xiao Zheng, wanting to grab him. When they couldn't grab him, they would at least punch him. 。But Lin Yqiang and Wang Youfu's waving arms were both blocked, held down, and medical staff and public officials quickly pushed them towards the police car. 。Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyou obviously couldn't reach Xiao Zheng. On their wheelchairs, Lin Yiqiang twisted his body and said, "Xiao, we won't just let this go. You wait for me!" Wang Fuyou said, "Xiao Zheng, I won't let you go. I won't let your family go either, nor your girlfriend. Remember this!" "Shut up!" a policeman shouted, "If you speak again, I'll tape your mouth shut." 。“Some prosecutors also shouted, 'You are threatening others' personal safety. We can add charges and prosecute you!' But Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu ignored the prosecutors and kept shouting, 'You wait for me, we won't let you off!'

It was obvious that Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu had truly hated Xiao Zheng.” 。Xiao Zheng thought about it, he had beaten them to the ground that day, crushing their vital parts, making these bullies from the town unable to bear children. How much hatred should this bring them towards him But even today, Xiao Zheng didn't regret it at all. He didn't regret crushing those two's eggs one bit. 。Perhaps, he had a little bit of evil hidden in his heart

But just now, Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyou's threats against him made Xiao Zheng feel that he still needed to be vigilant. 。Lin Yiqiang and Wang Youfu are not to be feared, after all they have been taken into custody and will next face prosecution, trial, and imprisonment. 。The truly dangerous ones are those who support them, Song Guoming and Wang Guilong. 。As long as Song Guoming remains in his position as the Party Secretary, and Wang Guilong continues to be the richest man in Fengxi Village, this latent danger will always exist. 。Reforestation not only benefits the town's sustainable development and the ecological recovery of villages, but it can also serve as a long-term solution for Wang Guilong by cutting off his funding sources. 。。If they really ran out of money, those ruffians would naturally disperse, and even Wang Fu, serving his sentence inside, wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir. 。Xiao Zheng originally didn't want to target Song Guoming and Wang Guilong, but Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyou's public threats against him just now caused him to be highly alert. 。The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard. The road ahead is long and uncertain in our fight to suppress the evil forces in this town. 。Xiao Zheng had no way out. 。Xiao Zheng recalled what County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu had said to him about "Green Village Construction." She had mentioned discussing it with County Magistrate Fang Ye, but so far, Xiao Jingyu hadn't asked Li Haiyan to give him a call. It seemed the matter hadn't reached a consensus between her and County Magistrate Fang. 。Xiao Zheng plans to call Haiyan tomorrow to ask about the situation. 。Now he has to take care of getting his dad discharged from the hospital first. 。Xiao Zheng went to the ward, inquired about the situation, and then went to see the chief physician. 。The doctor said that his father's pneumoconiosis wasn't very serious. After a few days of medication and rest, he could almost be discharged from the hospital. However, there was one thing Xiao Zheng needed to pay attention to, which was that his father's living and working environments had to change. 。If he goes back to the original environment that caused his illness, it's very likely that he will relapse, and it is certain that each recurrence will be more severe than the last. 。On the other hand, if the environment can be changed, then there is a good chance that his father's illness will be completely cured. 。This is what the doctor stressed repeatedly. 。Coming out of the doctor's office, Xiao Zheng didn't immediately return to the ward. Instead, he stood in the corridor, pushed open the window, lit a cigarette, and puffed out a few mouthfuls of smoke into the air. 。He needs to figure out how to take care of his parents after he gets out of the hospital. 。Dad, Xiao Rongrong, used to drive a tractor on the mountain mine. Mom, Fei Qingmei, also worked odd jobs on the mountain mine. To leave their current jobs and living environment, they would have to leave Lvshu Natural Village, which is where they had lived for many years. 。Leaving there, where could they go To town Tianhuang Town hasn't been doing well in recent years, with few job opportunities and nowhere to live. 。Xiao Zheng thought, why not buy a house now, buy one in the county town. 。Since he became the deputy mayor recently, his salary has increased. Plus, he had some savings from before, so there is no problem with the down payment. 。And after becoming the deputy mayor, his expenses decreased, and he wasn't burdened by loans. 。Anyway, he can still put off getting married to Chen Hong for two years. Even if they get married, as long as the house is over 100 square meters with three or more rooms, it's not a problem to live together for a while. We can wait until we have money later and buy a set for our parents then. 。Given the circumstances, it's an objective situation, I believe Chen Hong can understand. 。After making up his mind, Xiao Zheng returned to the doctor's office, hoping that the doctor would allow his father to stay in the hospital for another week. Then he could take his father directly to the house he bought in the county. 。Xiao Zheng's father being hospitalized, the county party secretary personally took care of it, so there is naturally no problem with the hospital side. 。Only then did Xiao Zheng return to the doctor's office and tell his parents his thoughts. 。Xiao Rongrong at first still cried out, “How can this be They’re forcing us to leave our hometown, we'll have no roots!” 。“Father, with your current condition, you can't go back to the village filled with smoke and dust. Otherwise, your illness will relapse. It won't just be a matter of losing the root cause, but your life could be at stake.” 。Moreover, our old house in the village is still there. When the environment in the village gets better in the future, you can still go back to retire there. 。"What Fei Qingmei worried about was the issue of livelihood: "If we don't go to the mine to work, how will we live We don't know anything about the county town. Where can we find work" This question, Xiao Zheng had already thought about it: “Don’t worry about making money.” 。The opportunities in a county town are definitely more abundant than in a village, so there are definitely more ways to make money in a county town. 。In the county town, there are many people. Where there are many people, you can make money. Even opening a small noodle shop can be profitable. 。Work, I'll find you guys some. Don't worry, you won't starve. 。Besides, your son is now at least a deputy mayor, and his salary is higher than before. You don't have to worry about food anymore. 。With a son, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei felt much more at ease and said, “Then you should try to arrange it first. " 。Two days later, Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng invited the county department leaders to dinner together. Shaowei, Li Xiaqing, Xu Changyun, Zhou Ling and other leaders were there. Everyone reminisced about the day they went to Tianhuang Town for research and rescued Xiao Zheng from the county Public Security Bureau. They chatted happily and drank happily. 。Before leaving, Mayor Guan Wenwei gave each of them a local specialty as a gift. This dinner obviously achieved the expected effect. 。Another day passed, and Xiao Zheng received a phone call. It was from the county Public Security Bureau. The voice on the other end was rather cold, but it was good news: “Is this Xiao Zheng Your application for national compensation has been approved at the county level. Please provide your bank account number so we can verify it and transfer the funds to you.” 。and support, Mr. Wu. You absolutely must stay for dinner today. There's a place I've never been to before, the game meat is cooked incredibly well, and there's an entertainment center next door, it's...
