"This building was divided by him when he was director of the Agricultural Bureau." Lao Li put the car out and lowered his voice: "later, he had to redistribute it several times, but he didn't agree with it. He said that the house was not bad. At least many people still couldn't live in it. When will all the people in Wuhan live in a better house than this. Later, I have lived until now... "
I was silent for a moment. I looked at Mayor Wang who was still sleeping. I turned to old Li and said, "when Mayor Wang wakes up, you can tell me that I will do it for him."
"No, it must be checked to the end!" Before Lao Li could speak, Mayor Wang suddenly raised his hand, lifted the blanket and sat up.
Then he slammed into the roof.
"Ouch..." He rubbed his head and turned his head to look at Lao Li and me. He was stunned a little. Then he woke up completely. He laughed and said, "look at me, and then he fell asleep. I just dreamed that someone was cutting corners. What's the line? Ha ha, Master Zhang, let's go. We're home! "
"Mayor Wang, no need." I look at him sincerely: "don't worry, I will help you with this!"
"That's two things." Mayor Wang's face was flat: "I brought you here in the middle of the night and didn't give you a sip of tea. What's the way of hospitality? If this goes out, where can I leave my old face? Go for a walk. Since you have arrived at the door, you are welcome. Go up and sit first. "
After that, I got out of the car.
"Lao Li, it's hard." Mayor Wang closed the car door and naturally took out the money to step into the window.
It seems that it's not the first time he's been on Lao Li's night train.
Lao Li was more aware of his temper, and did not refuse at the moment, reaching for it.
"Lao Li, you still need to work. I won't keep you. Come back another day and have a good drink with you." Mayor Wang said and waved to Lao Li.
Lao Li's eyes were moist: "Mayor Wang, you should also pay attention to your health!" Then I flashed the lights twice, turned my head and drove away.
Until the car disappeared in the night, Mayor Wang turned around and said to me, "my family hasn't been here for a long time. Let's go and have a taste of my skills!"
"Here..." I'm embarrassed. I came to his house to check it out. It's just to see his jokes and his background, to see when his dirty face can be installed.
But at this time, I know that I really think wrong, Mayor Wang is really a rare good official!
He's pulling me upstairs now, which makes me very embarrassed.
"Don't worry. I invited you to dinner and I was at home. It's not bribery." Mayor Wang said with a smile.
"Mayor Wang, maybe another day." I continued to push away: "besides, it's the same time, so is my sister-in-law..."
"She is on the night shift. She can't come back until the second half of the night. Now I'm alone at home. We don't even order food in aimanlou.
I'm starving. Let's go and have a meal with me. " After Mayor Wang finished, he took my shoulder and walked in.
In this way, I naturally have no way.
Mayor Wang's house is on the fourth floor. He opens the door, lights up, takes off his coat and throws it in the sofa. As he walked to the kitchen with his sleeve in his hand, he said to me, "sit down for a while and pour your own tea. I'll be fine in a moment!"
Then the kitchen tinkled.
I stood in the room, looking at this very ordinary, but significant room, for a time, some of the stunned speechless.
It's common, because it's the most common two room one hall room, which is about sixty or seventy square meters. When the decoration of the room has passed for a long time, there are traces of time everywhere.
It's of great significance because there is absolutely no such magic decoration in any family.
There is a crumpled sofa in the living room, but the one opposite the sofa is not a tea table, but a square large book case, which is full of various drawings and documents, as well as large, small and colorful maps.
There are the city's aerial plan, topographic map, water circuit and water network map If I didn't just follow Mayor Wang into the house, I really doubt if I went into the site command post?
It seems that he is really a desperate Sanlang!
According to Lao Li, he works so late every day, so it is not easy for him to return home. He has to face these maps and study hard.
He doesn't want to leave any regrets. He wants to strive for perfection and build a new city that can make him feel at ease and satisfy all the citizens.
Now, he did, but he may never see that day.
He worked hard for half of his life, struggled for half of his life, but at the end of the day, he could only leave regrets and die in peace?
I believe that any Wuhan citizen who knows about this will be extremely sad and sad!
I looked at the maps in front of me, and thought of the way he had come. His eyes were moist with joy and laughter."Dinner!" Just then, Mayor Wang suddenly shouted loudly and came out of the kitchen with two big bowls.
It's two bowls of noodles, boiled in white water, with some cucumber shreds watered with old Ganma on the top. What's more luxurious is that there's a poached egg beside the bowl.
"Come on, one bowl at a time, no leftovers." Then he handed me a bowl, took another one and sat down on the sofa, and immediately devoured it.
When I saw him like this, his nose suddenly turned sour.
This is the mayor of Wuhan! In a big city with millions of managers, there is a huge amount of money flowing in its hands.
Does he just call himself a mule?
"Why, can't you eat?" He swallowed several mouthfuls, saw me standing there still, scratched my hair with chopsticks, and said apologetically, "it's a bit outrageous to invite you to eat this when you come to my house for the first time. But I It's the only way to do it. "
"No, I'm hungry, too!" As I said this, I took up the bowl and sat down on the sofa beside him to eat.
He took a look at me and didn't speak. He started to eat noodles.
Xili snored. The two men didn't say a word and swallowed their noodles.
My bowl gradually stood up, and then, while he did not pay attention, I secretly wiped away the moist corner of the eye.
Mayor Wang ate all the noodles in one breath, and even drank the soup clean. He was very satisfied and belched: "don't look at the noodles, but they really work."
"I used to be busy with my work. Maybe when I come back, your sister-in-law will not be able to leave me a meal at all. Sometimes when I come back in the middle of the night, I am so hungry that I have to learn how to cook noodles. I dare not say anything else about this thing, but it's simple and hungry! Just like being an official, as long as you have people in your heart and really want to do it, there is nothing you can't do. "
He just made a sigh and suddenly turned his head. Then he realized that I was not a person in the government at all. His teaching seemed a little redundant. He shouted and laughed again and said, "look, I'm really used to being an old bureaucrat. I can work no matter what."
Said, he took my empty bowl and said, "if you sit for a while, I have to brush it quickly. If you wait for your sister-in-law to come back, it's time to criticize me!" He said so, but the expression on his face was very happy.
"Oh, yes." Just two steps away, he stopped again and said solemnly with a face: "if you see her later, don't let it slip! No one knows about my illness except for the small money to get the report for me. Even Lao Li doesn't know about it. It must be kept a high level of confidentiality. "
"Good!" I nodded heavily.
There was a gust of wind in hula, and many pieces of map paper were scattered on the table. I quickly lowered my head and picked them up and put them back.
But at this time, I suddenly found a picture, which was pressed under the thick glass of the desktop.
The picture is black and white, slightly yellow, it looks very old.
There are two young people in their twenties standing side by side in the picture. One is in military uniform, the other is in a mountain suit. Both of them are tall with their chests up, and all of them have a shining Party emblem on their chests. Their faces were full of pride and joy.
Although ages are far apart, I can recognize that the young man in Zhongshan suit is mayor Wang.
Below are a few lines of dragon flying and Phoenix dancing handwriting.
A thousand hammers and a thousand chisels out a deep mountain, and a fire burns like idleness.
I'm not afraid of breaking my body and bones. I want to keep my innocence in the world!
Then there is a line of small words: "I would like to present this sentence to leap forward, hoping to read it, February 1984."
"His name is Hu Qingshan. This is my best classmate and friend." I was looking at the stupefied God, but Mayor Wang did not know where to stand behind me.
He ignored my astonishment and stared at the photo with his eyes tightly: "in those days, we graduated together and joined the party, and vowed to work hard to serve the motherland. But only a few months later, he was killed at the border between China and Vietnam. He didn't even find all the bones, only the words left for me. "
Mayor Wang was a little melancholy: "Qingshan's words are especially in his ears, and they always alert me like thunder. Whenever I am confused, I can't help but look at the photos. Qingshan always hits the head and wakes me up completely! No matter the senior officials or the junior officials, what they always represent in front of the people is not themselves, but the country, the party and the hope of the nation! "
