Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Putting aside his worries, Feng Sizhe also began to write a summary report on his work this year. At the same time, he also began to prepare to return to Beijing for the Spring Festival. Although the Spring Festival of 1992 would not be until February 4, Dahu County was running normally. Besides, he was not the secretary or the county magistrate, so there were naturally few things he could worry about. His current work consisted of holding summary meetings one after another. Meetings every day made him a little upset. People always say that the GMD has more taxes and the CCP has more meetings. Now it seems to be true.

Sometimes meetings can help summarize experiences and lessons, but sometimes there are too many meetings and people become numb. Meetings are often held just for the sake of meetings, which loses the original purpose. For this reason, as long as it is something under Feng Sizhe's management, he will try not to hold meetings. Otherwise, under the current situation, there will be small meetings every day and large meetings every now and then. Even if he wants to say something to the cadres below, I'm afraid they will find it difficult to listen.

After a series of meetings, the New Year's Day of 1992 finally arrived. In the guesthouse room where Feng Sizhe was staying, He Wenbao and his wife, Li Shuang and his girlfriend Su Qian were all here to spend the holiday with their leader.

Originally, Zhou Xingxing was also planning to come, but in order to repair their relationship, Ruan Jisheng asked his daughter Ruan Xiaoqing to invite him to the Ruan family to celebrate New Year's Day. In this way, Zhou Xingxing finally couldn't resist his girlfriend and went to the Ruan family.

Feng Sizhe could understand Zhou Xingxing's behavior. After all, he was still young and his goal was not ambitious. Besides, how many people could get past the love between men and women? Of course, Feng Sizhe always said that others were young, but he forgot that he was only 23 years old, and he was still more than a month away from his 24th birthday.

"Come, let's raise a glass to the leader, thank him for his contribution to the people of Dahu County, and thank him for his care and trust in us." He Wenbao is the oldest person here and the person with the highest rank after Feng Sizhe. Of course, he should raise the first glass of wine at this moment.

"Come on, you must drink this cup." Li Shuang responded with a laugh, then looked at Feng Sizhe very seriously and said, "Thank you, leader."

Li Shuang looked at Feng Sizhe with sincere eyes, from which he saw courage and determination, loyalty and trust. Feng Sizhe knew that this was Li Shuang's sincere respect and admiration for himself from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he had completely won the driver's heart, and he would not betray him under any circumstances.

"Okay, I'll drink it, let's drink it together." Feng Sizhe laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The joy and generosity between men are clearly revealed here; this is the friendship between men, regardless of rank or age, being open-hearted is being open-hearted and there will be no regrets.

On New Year's Day in 1992, Feng Sizhe had a drink with his two closest subordinates. The drinking lasted from noon to night. There were countless empty bottles of wine on the table. After He Wenbao and Li Shuang fell down, Wang Hong and Su Si also joined in. They also tried their best to toast Feng Sizhe. They wanted to see how much their leader could drink.

Finally, Feng Sizhe fell down, beside the chair, under the table. Of course, he was not really drunk by others, but he was drunk by himself. When he thought about his past life, his present life, and the burden on his shoulders, he got himself drunk. He knew the direction of his future journey, and he still had a long way to go. He was too tired in the nine months since he came to Dahu County. From a member of the county committee who was ignored by others to today, when he said a word, even the county party secretary and the county magistrate had to pay attention to it. How much effort and hardship did it take? I am afraid only he himself knows. He kept a clear mind day by day, and today was the time to get drunk and have a good rest.

When Feng Sizhe woke up the next morning, he found himself lying back in his bed with steaming soy milk and fried dough sticks on the bedside table. He smiled slightly. Susie, who took care of him, really understood people's hearts. No wonder she could make the rebellious Li Shuang submit to her.

He sat up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and then had breakfast. After finishing all these, Feng Sizhe walked out of the room and went straight to the county party committee building not far away.

Feng Sizhe entered the office and saw that his secretary Zhou Xingxing had already come to his post and sat down. He nodded and said, "Go, Xiao Zhou, find County Magistrate He."

"Reporting to the leader, County Magistrate He asked for leave for the whole morning. He said that he drank too much yesterday..." Zhou Xingxing stood up from his chair and answered with his head down.

"What? Too drunk?" Feng Sizhe then remembered that it was He Wenbao and he who drank yesterday. Oh, and that Li Shuang couple, so he laughed, "Well, I'm going to Chengguan Town to check on their agricultural preparations. You ask Li Shuang to prepare the car."

"Reporting to the leader, Li Shuang...also drank too much and also asked for leave for the morning." Zhou Xingxing answered hesitantly.

"What?" Feng Sizhe sighed in his heart. These two people still need to improve their drinking capacity. Then he smiled and said to Zhou Xingxing, "Did Susie help him to ask for leave?" Thinking that it must be this girl, she helped him to the bed, made him breakfast, and then went back to take care of Li Shuang.

Zhou Xingxing raised his head when Feng Sizhe asked this question, then shook his head, "Reporting to the leader, no. It was Comrade Wang Ruihua from the Information Office who called. She said that she was at County Magistrate He's home taking care of Director Wang Hong and Li Shuang. She also asked for a morning off from the County Government Office."

"Is it her?" Feng Sizhe suddenly woke up, thinking that although Susie also prepared breakfast for him in the past, it was mostly rice porridge and steamed buns, and rarely prepared soybean milk and fried dough sticks for him. That was because Susie once said that fried food was not good for the human body and eating too much was not good. But today's breakfast was fried dough sticks, so did it mean that it was not prepared by Susie, but by Wang Ruihua?

"Okay, I got it." Feng Sizhe nodded. After becoming more certain of his idea, he walked into his office, sat on a chair, opened the drawer, took out a box of Da Zhonghua cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth and lit it.

Feng Sizhe is not a person who likes to smoke. He has no addiction to it. He often smokes a cigarette to calm down when his mind is a little confused and he is thinking about something. Today, he lit this cigarette, and it was obvious that he was a little distressed about Wang Ruihua's matter.

Last time, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection team investigated the problem between Wang Ruihua and himself. In the end, because of the intervention of the He family, and because of Wang Ruihua's physical examination certificate, she was proved innocent. Since then, he has never had any contact with Wang Ruihua alone. Even if they sometimes met in the county party committee building, he just nodded and hurried by. This is because Feng Sizhe knows that they are from two different worlds, and his girlfriend is destined to be He Shasha, not anyone else.

He still remembered that He Shasha had called him after returning to Kyoto from Yongyang City, and she also talked about Wang Ruihua on the phone. The two of them met in Yongyang, and Feng Sizhe didn't know the details of the meeting. He just heard He Shasha praising Wang Ruihua on the phone, and she also said that she had saved your life, so you must treat her well, at least not let her suffer any grievances, because you should not do that.

Feng Sizhe just laughed on the other end of the phone. He didn't know whether He Shasha was sincere or testing him intentionally, so he didn't dare to say anything. It was not until later that He Shasha said that she was one year older than Wang Ruihua and had already recognized her as her sister, and hoped that Feng Sizhe would take good care of her in the future, that he nodded without hesitation.

Wang Ruihua was indeed capable of working, at least she was competent in the data room. Thinking that it was indeed difficult for her to find a boyfriend, and with the investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who would dare to take her easily? All of this made him feel like he owed her a lot.

He opened the heavenly book that only Feng Sizhe could understand, and saw that it clearly recorded that in April 1992, the Fifth Session of the Seventh National People's Congress clearly required that the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests stipulate that there should be an appropriate number of women representatives in the party and the national government. As he thought about it, he suddenly made a decision, that is, since he couldn't care for her in life, he would help her in her work. Maybe she could catch the ride of women holding up half the sky. If so, with her education and age advantage, she could also make a difference.

Thinking of this, Feng Sizhe picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number, "Hello, Minister Li? This is Feng Sizhe. I have something to discuss with you. Is it convenient for me to go to your office now? ... Oh, that's fine, then come over, I'll wait for you."

After a while, Li Yige, the Organization Minister of the County Party Committee, appeared in Feng Sizhe's office. When Li Yige turned around and closed the door, Feng Sizhe casually threw a pack of Neigong Da Zhonghua to him, "Brother Li, it's the beginning of the month again. You may not have enough cigarettes. Take two more when you leave."

"Haha, those who understand me are wise." Li Yi Ge was not polite. He took the pack of cigarettes and took out a cigarette, lit it, put it to his lips, and asked casually, "Why, what's the matter that you are looking for me so urgently? It's the new year, do you have any new ideas?"
