Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

The next day, noon!

It is indeed troublesome for women to go shopping. No matter Gu Mingyue, a lady, or Mei Yu, the county party secretary, once they go shopping, they are different from ordinary women.

The two women were in high spirits. Xia Shuo and Lao Zhao acted as followers. They spent a full morning shopping and finally started their journey at noon.

Xia Shuo's hometown is Yinmeng County, which is located directly north of Hedong County. The two counties are only separated by Mengshan Mountain, but the detour is more than 1 miles away.

The condition of rural roads in those days was very poor. The roadbed of the asphalt road was full of potholes and bumps, making driving on it bumpy, giving the feeling of joy like a child riding on a trampoline.

The driver, Lao Zhao, liked to hum little songs, but he was tone-deaf. After being scorned by Gu Mingyue, and mumbled by Mei Yu and Xia Shuo, he stopped talking and reluctantly turned on the car recorder. .

While this guy was stuffing the tape into the recorder, he didn't forget to argue a few words for himself, and kept saying: "Actually, I'm a good singer. I used to be very famous in the army. The old commander liked to listen to my songs the most, so he let me I served as his bodyguard.”

"is it?"

Xia Shuo was quite surprised, and Gu Mingyue was also surprised, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that you were selected to be with the chief because of your singing talent?"

Lao Zhao was proud and nodded to express this.

However, Mei Yu smiled and said directly: "Don't listen to his bragging. My father doesn't like listening to music. This guy is the number one champion in the military competition. He relied on force to fight all the way..."

Mei Yu paused as she spoke and explained to Xia Shuo and Gu Mingyue: "At that time, the most basic premise for the military commanders to select guards was that the guards must be able to fight."

Xia Shuo was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "The champion in the competition? Fight all the way?"

He couldn't help but look at Lao Zhao and asked: "The navy, the navy, the air force, and the air force have hundreds of thousands of troops. You are considered to be the king of soldiers. No wonder you can serve as the chief's guard."

Lao Zhao held the steering wheel with one hand and held a tape in the other hand. He kept saying: "I am not the King of Soldiers, not the King of Soldiers. I have only won two championships. Some people can win 1 consecutive championships."

He paused and continued: "Besides, it was not a competition between the whole army, it was just a competition among our troops. A small achievement is nothing..."

Xia Shuo heard his modesty and suddenly interrupted him and asked: "Brother Zhao, which army were you in before?"

Old Zhao smiled honestly and said very casually: "xx Group Army, 1th Division Independent Regiment."

Xia Shuo felt confused!

What the hell!

It turned out to be that iron army.

A tough-guy unit that is famous both at home and abroad, and is known as the most powerful bulldozer unit on the ground. It has fought countless bloody battles in history, and both the United States and Japan have suffered losses.

Lao Zhao was able to win two championships in a row in that army...

Xia Shuo took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little frightened. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, were you kidding when you said you wanted to beat me up before? If I make Secretary Mei angry one day, will you? You won’t really hit me with your fists?”

While driving the car, Lao Zhao glanced at him and asked: "I'm going to hit you with my fists? Do I need fists to hit you? With your small body, a slap will take you three months."

Xia Shuo shut up angrily, feeling like he was asking for trouble.

At this time, the car recorder started playing the tape. The song was melodious and melodious, with a deep and deep voice. It was a song called "Clouds in My Hometown", which seemed very appropriate for today's itinerary.

However, Mei Yu only listened to a few words before she frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction, saying: "Returning with an empty suitcase? This word is so inappropriate!"

Gu Mingyue also said: "That's right, Xia Shuo is now the executive deputy township head. He doesn't have an empty bag, but should be returning home in rich clothes."

Lao Zhao quickly volunteered and said in a very urgent tone: "How about I sing a song? Don't listen to this tape and sing nonsense."

As a result, Mei Yu and Gu Mingyue were both silent. After a while, they finally said, "Let's listen to the tape. The next song should be very good."

Lao Zhao suddenly felt very sad.

Xia Shuo sat in the passenger seat and smiled heartlessly.

Unexpectedly, Old Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand and gently squeezed his shoulder. Xia Shuo suddenly felt that half of his body was numb, as if he was being pinched by a vise. He quickly apologized: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, I was wrong. Spare your life, spare your life..."

Lao Zhao heyed twice and slowly took back his hand.

……

The journey home is always relaxing and pleasant.

Although the road was bumpy, everyone was in a good mood and the atmosphere in the car was very lively, without the restraint of leaders and subordinates.

The car was driving slowly on the road, as lazy as everyone's mood.

After Meiyu was promoted to county party secretary, he did not replace his official car with a new one.

It is still an old-fashioned Beijing Jeep. The mottled paint gives off a strong sense of age. If you tell outsiders that this is a car belonging to the county party committee secretary, I am afraid that ten out of ten people will not believe it.

Believe it or not, Meiyu uses it all the time.

The reason is that this car is not equipped by the government, but the driver, Lao Zhao, got it from the army. When Mei Yu was working in grassroots townships, Lao Zhao had already followed Mei Yu as a full-time driver.

The township leaders of that era were not qualified to equip cars, let alone drivers. It was simply a fantasy.

But because Lao Zhao works willingly and does not need the government to pay him wages, even if outsiders are envious and jealous, no one can find anything wrong with Mei Yu.

Later, Mei Yu was promoted to Minister of Organization, and according to regulations, he could be equipped with a Shanghai brand 1a. However, Mei Yu did not take it, and still let Zhao drive the Jeep. [About the old Shanghai 760 car, I’m afraid those who know it are from a very young age]

Back and forth, more than ten years.

From the time Meiyu started working at the age of 21 until he became the secretary of the county party committee at the age of 34 this year, Lao Zhao and Jeep have always been by his side, like two important members of the family.

This car is more than ten years old and is as full of vicissitudes as an old man.

However, the condition of this car is very good, and it can be used for climbing mountains and wading. The main reason is that the driver, Lao Zhao, takes good care of it and takes care of it like a child.

The car may not look good in appearance, but its actual performance is no less than 5. Even compared with the imported Audi 100, this Jeep can still race once or twice on the road.

The only flaw may be that it is a little old.

But this kind of oldness is not shameful, because there were so few cars in that era. Being able to ride in a small car is enviable everywhere.

It's really enviable.

It may even cause shock!

……

More than just envy.

And shocked.

Xia Shuo's hometown has arrived.

When the Jeep left the rural road and entered the dirt road between the countryside, its speed became very slow due to the ups and downs.

In this remote place, where has a car ever come?
