Spring Breeze 1991

At around nine o'clock at night, Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu rushed back to Huilong Town overnight. It was more than 30 kilometers from the county town to the town, and it took half an hour to drive even faster. The road was so bad that even a BMW SUV couldn't run.

Lin Xiaohu didn't drink at night and drove steadily.

Yao Yuan recalled the situation about Zhong Guangda that Lin Xiaohu had investigated from the side. He lit a cigarette, lowered the car window, and blowing the hot wind, said slowly, "Zhong Guangda has served as the director of the county transportation bureau for nearly ten months. , Judging from the previous situation, he wants to do practical things, but he has been unable to open up the situation. To put it bluntly, he is almost emptied as the bureau chief."

As he spoke, he handed Lin Xiaohu a cigarette and lit it for him. Lin Xiaohu drove with one hand, with the cigarette in his left hand and his arm resting on the car door. He smoked and said, "The deputy directors are all local cadres. Quan Liuyou is in charge, Director Zhong is having a hard time."

"Traffic is a big problem, it depends on whether this fellow has courage." Yao Yuan has no good solution, and Zhong Guangda has to do things by himself.

Lin Xiaohu said, "If the county directly asks for the money to be transferred to the county's financial account, are we really going to take it hard?"

"This is a bad strategy. We have to find a way. The first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death." Yao Yuan said helplessly.

Lin Xiaohu said, "I have an idea."

"Tell me."

Lin Xiaohu thought for a while, and said, "The town government and Tea Master Beverage Company set up a temporary organization like a project budget group to take over the project funds, and this leading group will directly settle the settlement with the construction team and material suppliers according to the progress. The labor fee can be settled by the town and the migrant workers. The enterprise takes the lead and the town government plays a supporting role, but you are actually the one who decides.”

Yao Yuan's eyes lit up, "Xiaohu, you can do it, this method is good."

"However, if we want to convince Mayor Xu, it will be difficult if he disagrees. Mao Feng and Jin Zun must be fine." Lin Xiaohu said.

"I'll talk to Mayor Xu, he should agree." Yao Yuan took another puff of cigarette and said, "Do you think that Mao Feng and Jin Zun are so easy to talk to, they agree to almost everything we ask, turn around and you Check to see if they have any relationship with us, whether they are affiliated companies or partners of grassroots companies."

You just thought of it!

Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "I've checked it out a long time ago. Behind Mao Feng and Jin Zun is Southeast Industry. Qi Junting helped them solve the problem of capital for business expansion, and they invested in Huilong Town. Otherwise, you think it's so easy to attract investment. Ah, it’s not like no one has done this after returning to Longzhen for so many years, but they all failed in the end.”

"I knew it!" Yao Yuan sighed, "I thought it was because of my personal charm and Huilong Town's favorable investment environment."

Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "I knew you would be disappointed, but looking at it from another angle, the companies affiliated to Chunfeng Group have tentacles all over the country. I don't think it's realistic for you to deliberately not find your own company."

"It's very tangled. On the one hand, I want to prove my true ability, and I don't want to rely on previous achievements to highlight my current efforts. On the other hand, I am eager to change the economic backwardness of the mountainous area. Sigh."

Yao Yuan shook his head slowly and said, waving his hands, "By the way, what kind of company is Southeast Industry? Who is Qi Junting?"

Lin Xiaohu was speechless.

It is not a good thing for a company to be too big. As a big boss, you don't know how many companies you have and what the name of the company is.

"The second-level company is a joint venture company controlled by Yuanda Group. It started out as shoes, hats and clothes, but now it seems to be diversified. Qi Junting... seems to be one of the shareholders." Lin Xiaohu said, "The asset scale is not very large, it should be It’s about a dozen or two billion, but to Mao Feng and the others, it’s a giant, and that’s all I know.”

Lin Xiaohu didn't know much about the situation. Also because there were too many subordinate companies, he could only cram for a while to find out.

Yao Yuan sighed again and was speechless.

Driving to the road section where there is no store in front and no village in the back, turning a corner, the headlights swept across, and suddenly saw a figure, Lin Xiaohu stepped on the brake subconsciously, the man raised his hand to cover his eyes and looked this way, unexpectedly It's a girl.

How could there be girls wandering around the side of the road this late at night?

Carrying a schoolbag, like a student.

The two had a tacit understanding and pushed the car door to get out of the car at the same time. The advantage of this is that if an ambush is encountered, it will be two targets for the other party. When the other party cannot judge which is the target of the ambush, they can buy some time. Avoid being knocked out individually.

Lin Xiaohu touched the pistol in the holster on his waist, and looked around vigilantly.Not only did he learn security skills from Jiang Yong, he also received more than a month of targeted training in the Public Security Bureau before following Yao Yuan to work in a government agency.

Safety issues are obviously nothing to worry about. Less than 20 seconds after their car stopped, another BMW off-road vehicle that was exactly the same stopped behind. It was the security team led by Chen Chao. As long as Yao Yuan went out, they would always Guard in the dark.

However, they were obviously being overly careful.

There was no one else, only this little girl with a ponytail who was about [-] or [-] years old was carrying a schoolbag in front of the car.

Yao Yuan looked at the ponytail girl, frowned and asked with his hands behind his back, "Little girl, where are you going at night, and which school are you from?"

The abduction case of Liu Chunju just happened, and Yao Yuan attaches great importance to this issue.

Mawei is a courageous one, facing Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu, clenched his fists tightly, looked at Yao Yuan without fear, and said disdainfully, "Who are you, you don't care which school I'm from. !"

Yao Yuan showed surprise, looked at the little girl carefully, she looked familiar, and found that she was still a beauty, tall and slender, well-developed, a bit like Chen Farong, but her temper was not small.

"I am Yao Yuan, the deputy mayor of Huilong Town. Are you from Huilong Town? Are you going home?" Yao Yuan asked again.

The ponytail girl was taken aback, and looked Yao Yuan up and down, "You are Yao Yuan? Are you a fake?"

Yao Yuan became more and more strange, and asked with a smile, "You know me? Why do you think I'm a fake?"

Lin Xiaohu suddenly said, "Are you Long Wu?"

The ponytail girl was even more stunned, she looked at Lin Xiaohu, "You know me?"

Lin Xiaohu and Yao Yuan looked at each other, Yao Yuan was immediately happy, and he could tell that the little girl in front of him was undoubtedly the youngest of the Long family, Long Wu, no wonder she looked so familiar.

"You look a lot like your second and fourth brothers, follow your mother." Yao Yuan laughed.

Yao Yuan has been to the Long family more than once. Father Long is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, which is relatively short among men, while Mother Long is 1.6 meters seven, which is taller among women. There are five children in the Long family. The third child follows his father, who is not tall but stocky, and the second, fourth, and fifth children follow his mother, all of whom are tall. The word dragon is the tallest at 1.8 meters.

The youngest of the Long family in front of me is at least 1.7 meters tall, much taller than her mother, and she may still be taller now that she is in junior high school.

In Dalong Village, the economic conditions of the Long family are relatively good, and there are many laborers, otherwise they would not be able to pay the family planning fine.

Yao Yuan said, "Get in the car, we will take you home."

Long Wu hesitated.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Why, you still don't believe that I am Yao Yuan? Yes, keep this vigilance in the future, but now you have to get in the car, I will take you to the police station, your fourth brother is on duty at the police station, let him take you back."

Now is not the time to ask Long Wu why he walked back to Long Town on foot.

The other party knew that his fourth brother was working at the police station, so it seemed that it was Yao Yuan. After thinking about it, Long Wu smiled and said, "You are really Yao Yuan. His name is Yao Yuan, he is very young, I never thought he would be so young, did you start working after graduating from high school?"

This girl is still acquainted, very courageous.

She obviously had never been in a car before, so she didn't know how to open the door. Yao Yuan opened the door for her, and she stepped into the car directly, knocking on the top of her head, which made Yao Yuan laugh.

On the road again, Yao Yuan said, "I thought the whole town knew that there was a college student cadre in the town."

"Yes, yes, you are a college student, I remembered, but you look so young." Long Wu said like a cannonball.

Yao Yuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked back. In the darkness, Long Wu's eyes were shining with a clear light, and he sighed in his heart, youth is so good.

Holding the driver's seat and the passenger seat with two hands, Long Wu stuck his head out from the middle, looked curiously at the center console, and at the road ahead illuminated by headlights, and said, "Mayor Yao, How old are you this year? I heard people say that you are only 20 years old and you are the mayor of the baby town."

Yao Yuan was overjoyed, and said, "The mayor of the baby, you mean I can't do things well if I have no hair on my mouth. I graduated from college and started working. What do you think?"

Long Wu really counted with his fingers, and said, "At the age of six, I went to the first grade of elementary school, six years of elementary school, six years of middle school, four years of college, and 16 years. Then you are 22 years old, and you are only 22 years old. That is also very young. what!"

"I'm the same age as your third brother, and your third brother's son is three years old, so I'm not young anymore." Yao Yuan laughed.

Long Wu snorted and said, "Late marriage and childbearing are advocated now, and the third brother is also true. Why do you marry so early? The law stipulates that the marriageable age for men is 22 years old."

Rural people get married early, and there are many people who get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but because they work in the fields all the year round, many of them look old.

Yao Yuan was quite surprised, "You still understand the law, not bad."

"I'm already in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, and I will pass the high school entrance examination soon." Long Wu said proudly, suddenly thinking that the young deputy mayor is a college student, he shrank his head, "But it's not as good as you, you are a college student."

Yao Yuan laughed out loud, thinking that this little girl was very cute pretending to be an adult.

If a person's first 20 years are divided into the flowering season and the rainy season, then the junior high school stage is the flowering season, truly carefree, when the love is just beginning to bloom, and I start to look forward to love and the future. At the high school stage, with the college entrance examination As it was approaching, the pressure was increasing, and because the physical development had entered a critical period, the body and mind were affected. With the growth of knowledge, there were more sorrows and pains.

People born in the 80s need to experience more in the first 30 years of their lives, and they are often reforms. Educational reforms, medical reforms, and system reforms affect the lives of people born in the 80s.

When they went to school, it was at a time when education was facing industrialization, and the high tuition fees made the family overwhelmed.When they were admitted to university ten years later, the state no longer assigned jobs, and self-selection of careers became a key word in the news. At this time, the nine-year compulsory education finally began to be free of tuition fees, but they missed this benefit.

I finally gained a firm foothold in the society, but when it was time to get married and have children, I ran into the hottest time in the real estate market. I was discouraged by the high housing prices and exhausted the savings of two generations. Where they live, they will immediately face the burden of taking care of their children.

So they became more reticent, more cautious in dealing with others, locked the past love letters in the drawer, buried the first love engraved in the bone marrow deep in their hearts, and worked in silence like old scalpers.

Just like that sentence, these people are not dead yet, they just shoulder the burden of society silently.

Yao Yuan, who was born in the 70s, chatted with someone of Long Wu's age for the first time. From her, she saw the optimism of people born in the 80s, and also thought of the cruel reality they would face in the future.

In a period of social change, no one can be alone, and in the process of forming a new society, someone is destined to pay the price, such as the laid-off post-50s and post-60s, and the split post-80s, it seems that only post-70s I escaped by luck, but looking at this period of history, who can say that the post-70s are lucky?

What to do, what must be done, this is Yao Yuan's thinking after entering politics, and the sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger.

After we chatted and we were almost in town, Yao Yuan suddenly asked, "Xiao Wu, why are you running home at this time, today is not Friday."

Going to school on Sunday afternoon and going home after class on Friday afternoon is the unchanging life of rural children studying in middle schools in county towns.

Long Wu curled his lips and whispered, "Go back if you want."

Intuition told Yao Yuan that something must be wrong with this little girl.

"If there is anything wrong, tell me, I can help." Yao Yuan said.

Long Wu snorted, "No one can help me with emotional matters, oops, don't ask, why is the mayor more troublesome than our Xiuhua."

Lin Xiaohu couldn't help laughing, no woman dared to talk to Yao Yuan like this.

"You want to gossip about me, right? Okay, then I won't ask. I'll ask your fourth brother to ask you, and your second brother to ask you if necessary. Your second brother is in the new school work shed." Yao Yuan said.

Long Wu suddenly became anxious, "Don't, don't, don't tell my second brother, Mayor Yao, listen to me, I have nothing to do, I just want to go home and have a look, please don't tell my second brother, okay? We have also chatted for such a long time, I feel that we hit it off, then we are friends, you can't betray your friend, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Yao Yuan and Lin Xiaohu couldn't help laughing, they were still young, but tried their best to look like adults, this must be youth.

"What's so funny about laughing so well!" Long Wu frowned and clenched his silver teeth.

Yao Yuan put away his smile and said, "Since we are friends, shouldn't you tell your friends about the troubles you are facing? Friends, you should talk to each other."

"A confidant is..."

Long Wu pouted, "But it's okay to tell you..."
