Zheng Chile has heard the name Ding Yufei many times today. Unlike Hu Shulin's inquiring, Ding Yufei's popularity in Qinghua Township is very high.At least when Zheng Chile pushed the bicycle and came up to talk to several people, they would casually bring out this name, which shows that this deputy mayor is not a person who does not do things.

Zheng Chile looked at Ding Yufei nonchalantly. This man was about 26 or [-] years old, and he seemed to be from Hu Shulin's group.He has a short cropped head, a short-sleeved white shirt and black trousers, and a pair of army green "liberation" shoes on his feet, which is the most common attire for intellectuals in this era.

Seeing that Ding Yufei was still in the embarrassment of being knocked out of the call, Zheng Chile said hello again: "Hello."

This time Ding Yufei finally came to his senses.

Ding Yufei also looked carefully at Zheng Chile.

His brother-in-law works in the county and happened to be in charge of personnel affairs. He had said a lot of good things for him and planned to promote him to the position of mayor.

As a result, Zheng Chile came.

Ding Yufei is very resistant to the decision of the superior. In his opinion, Qinghua Township is suffering enough, and the superior sent such a small guy over to play wine at the house. Isn't this trying to push Qinghua Township into the fire pit?

But his brother-in-law told him to cooperate with the work of the new mayor, so he could only wait here early to welcome Zheng Chile.

After waiting for a long time, Zheng Chile didn't arrive. Of course he was not in a good mood, so when his brother-in-law called to inquire about the situation, he said a few unpleasant words.

Unexpectedly, it happened to be bumped into by the master.

Ding Yufei stood up and said, "Major Zheng, you're finally here. Everyone else is busy, so I'm the only one here to welcome you. I'll invite them to come over and have a meal later, so we can get to know each other well."

When Ding Yufei said these words, his expression was very serious, and he could not hear the full of resentment just now.

This is a talent.

Zheng Chile said with a smile: "There's no rush, we'll talk about it after everyone is done."

Ding Yufei said: "Major Zheng, where is your luggage? I will take you to the place where you live. The conditions in Qinghua Township are not good, and you may not be used to it."

Zheng Chi happily raised the luggage bag in his hand: "I don't have much, just two sets of clothes."

Ding Yufei was a little surprised.

Zheng Chile asked Ding Yufei to lead the way.

The public officials in Qinghua Township all live in a circular courtyard. The main building is a single-story tall tile-roofed house with an attic. Except for the wall of the gate, there are rooms on three sides. In the center is a well, connected to a barrel The potter's wheel seems to have a very long history.

Seeing Zheng Chile scanning the entire compound curiously, Ding Yufei explained: "This house was built by a big landlord in our township at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, his family committed a crime and confiscated their assets. After coming and going, it became the place of our township committee. gone."

Zheng Chile said with a smile: "Then we enjoy the treatment of landlords!"

Ding Yufei saw that he was interested, so he said a few more words: "This house is not an important asset of that landlord, it's just a small yard built by him in Qinghua Township." He took out a key and opened the room on the right. The door of the house, "This is where you live, Chief Zheng. Since you are single, the house arranged for you is relatively small. If Chief Zheng is not satisfied, you can change it."

Zheng Chile walked in and took a look, and realized that this place is not too small for a place where one person lives.He put down his luggage and roughly estimated the space of the whole house, then turned his head and said to Ding Yufei: "This is not a small house, yes, I will live here from now on."

Ding Yufei said: "Then I'm relieved! Next, I'll take Mr. Zheng to find out the way. There are grocery stores in the West Village and East Village, and you can buy everything you need."

Zheng Chile said: "Wait a minute. Before I came here, I heard that the old secretary is not feeling well recently. Brother Ding, can you take me there to visit him first?"

According to common sense, a small place like Qinghua Township generally does not need to have a mayor and a secretary at the same time. It is enough for one person to hold both positions. This was the case with Old Secretary Ding of Qinghua Township in the past.In the past two years, Old Secretary Ding's health has been deteriorating, but he is worried that there is no one who can do the job behind him, so he dragged his sick body to teach Ding Yufei hand in hand before submitting his resignation application.

It's a pity that not only has this application not been approved for a long time, but another news has also come in: the higher-ups are going to parachute a little boy down to Qinghua Township.

The stimulation was so great that Old Secretary Ding suddenly fell ill and was bedridden.

Ding Yufei didn't expect Zheng Chile to even figure out the situation, and immediately put away his contempt: "Secretary Ding actually lives next to you, Township Chief Zheng. This was arranged by Secretary Ding himself. But Secretary Ding is not in good spirits now. Great, may not be able to talk to you."

Zheng Chile heard Ding Yufei's sincere respect for old secretary Ding, and he paid more attention to this old secretary in his heart.It is said that having an old man in a family is like having a treasure, and this is more directly reflected in handling affairs. If you can get the guidance of an old hand, you can definitely avoid a lot of detours!

Zheng Chile said: "Then I'm going to see the old secretary even more."

Ding Yufei saw that his expression was solemn, not child's play, nodded and said: "Then we will go there now."

It wasn't until Zheng Chile saw Old Secretary Ding that he realized how bad the old secretary's health had become.

It's not that the spirit is bad at all, but that the body has long been broken to the limit, and no matter how good the spirit is, it can't support it!

The most obvious thing was that the legs under the thin blanket were so swollen that they could hardly see their original appearance.

Zheng Chile couldn't imagine how the person in front of him used his body in this state to support him until now.

Ding Yufei seemed to be frightened when he saw him, and thought that he really was a little boy.He stepped forward to help old secretary Ding: "Secretary, this is the new village chief Zheng."

Old Secretary Ding's eyes were still working well, and his sharp eyes looked straight at Zheng Chile.

Facing this scrutinizing and judgmental gaze, Zheng Chile actually had the feeling that he was back in front of Zheng Cunhan.

His intuition told him that this was a persistent, stubborn and serious old man.

Zheng Chile quickly said hello: "Secretary Ding, I am Zheng Chile. I just came today."

Old Secretary Ding's eyes were sharper than Ding Yufei's, and he immediately spotted Zheng Chile's muddy shoes.

It takes a lot of walking to get your shoes dirty to this extent.

Old secretary Ding asked: "Is the mayor Zheng coming directly to report?"

Zheng Chile didn't expect Old Secretary Ding to ask such a sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.

He replied: "Secretary Ding, don't call me Township Chief Zheng, just call me Xiao Zheng. I really didn't come here directly, but walked around our township first and talked to the people in the township."

Ding Yufei looked at Zheng Chile in surprise.

He heard from his brother-in-law that Zheng Chile had already reported at noon. Of course he knew that Zheng Chile was late, but he never thought that Zheng Chile would do this.

Old secretary Ding was not surprised. Although his position was only the secretary of the Qinghua Township Party Committee all his life, he also went out to see him when he was young-it is not an exaggeration to say that he has seen countless people.

From the first moment he saw Zheng Chile, he knew that the reason why this half-grown boy traveled thousands of miles to this poor place in the northernmost part of this place was because he really wanted to do something down-to-earth.

Seeing this, Old Secretary Ding finally let go of his hanging heart.He continued to ask: "Then what have you gained?"

Zheng Chile said: "I don't dare to say that I have gained something, but I have learned a little bit, such as what is produced in our village, what is lacking, and whether everyone's life is going well, and many people praise Brother Ding for his work. It's exciting to watch!" He added, "There are also many people who are thinking about you, Secretary Ding!"

The old secretary Ding is an old man, how can he not understand that Zheng Chile is throwing an olive branch.

He showed a rare smile: "Da Ding, you have to assist Zheng Township Chief in various tasks. I am an old bone, and I will not be able to do it. I will still have to rely on you young people in the future!" He grabbed Ding Yu Fei's hand, and Zheng Chile's hand, and then put the two hands together, "Shake hands, and we will work together in the future."

Old Secretary Ding's hands were very thin, but they were very warm.

Zheng Chile felt the powerful force, and shook hands with Ding Yufei solemnly: "Brother Ding needs to mention more in the future."

Ding Yufei understood the meaning of old secretary Ding, and his face was very solemn: "I can't say something, I will never be lazy in doing things."

Zheng Chile smiled heartily: "I'm not lazy either!"

After finishing the business, Zheng Chile asked about the physical condition of Old Secretary Ding.

Old Secretary Ding obviously didn't want to mention it: "When people are old, diseases will naturally come. I also went to the county for treatment, but it was useless. I heard that at my age, cardiovascular disease will definitely occur, so don't worry about it anymore. I have lived for more than sixty years, which is enough!"

The implication is that I don't want to be treated anymore.

Ding Yufei hesitated to speak, but in the end he was stopped by old secretary Ding with his eyes.

Of course Zheng Chile noticed the communication between them. He thought about it carefully and connected many things together. He seemed to mention another incident unintentionally: "I heard that the elementary school in the village was rebuilt this year?"

Old Secretary Ding said nothing.

Ding Yufei realized that Zheng Chile was very smart, and he got to the bottom of it all at once.

Seeing that Zheng Chile had guessed the truth, he didn't want to worry about what old Secretary Ding meant. He said the truth with a distressed face: "Secretary Ding paid for the reconstruction of the elementary school himself, and he refused to pay any of it! Because of this matter, Ding The secretary’s medicines have all been stopped.”

Zheng Chile's heart trembled slightly. Although he vaguely guessed the reason, he still had a different taste when he heard it with his own ears.

The old secretary Ding gave Ding Yufei a reproachful look, sighed and said: "Our village is poor. In recent years, young people have gone out to work hard, and most of them are old people and children. The old people in our poor villages have never looked after children. Pay attention to education, as long as you fill their stomachs, but for children, you can’t start too late, the starting point is low, and if you continue like this, you will always lag behind others, so this must be grasped - money is needed Grab it well, even more so if you don’t have money!”

Zheng Chile knew that this was the sequelae brought about by the "tide into the city", so he was silent for a while.

Old Secretary Ding saw that he had listened to his own words, so he didn't say anything more.

Zheng Chile was silent for a long time, and said to old secretary Ding: "Can you let me look at this disease for you?"

Old Secretary Ding was startled, not understanding what he meant.

Zheng Chile said: "I studied medicine with my master in the early years, and I haven't fallen behind in the past few years. I just observed some symptoms, and I think this is not a simple 'geriatric disease'."

In fact, what Zheng Chile thought of was a regional epidemic: wool boil.He remembered that this disease happened to be prevalent in this area, and the symptoms were very similar to the symptoms of old secretary Ding.

Zheng Chile explained his inference: "According to the records in the medical book "Criteria for Syndrome and Treatment", such an epidemic once appeared in this area - because some patients with this disease will appear in their bodies. The tumor is enlarged, and these tumors are covered with wool-like hairs, so it is called wool furuncle in medical books. This disease is very similar to the cardiomyopathy we are talking about now, and the main symptom is vomiting—— — accompanied by chest tightness, palpitations, extremity edema, and even coma, convulsions or shock.”

Before Old Secretary Ding could speak, Ding Yufei answered, "These symptoms almost match!"

Zheng Chile deliberately said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this epidemic also broke out in some parts of the country. If it also appeared on our side, it would be troublesome." When mentioning his old profession, Zheng Chile's expression was serious and serious.

Old Secretary Ding looked solemn after hearing this.

Zheng Chile said: "So Secretary Ding, you asked me to diagnose it carefully. If it is really diagnosed, we should take preventive measures."

Ding Yufei actually had a tacit understanding with Zheng Chile: "Yes, Secretary Ding, it's not about you alone! The township chief Zheng said that this is an epidemic! It's really terrible if it spreads."

Listening to the two of them singing together, Old Secretary Ding didn't know whether to feel relieved or to smile wryly.

Isn't this a different way to make him receive treatment again?

He didn't really believe what kind of epidemic he had, but Zheng Chile and Ding Yufei's wishes made him unable to refuse.

Old Secretary Ding was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, Xiao Zheng, just show me."
