Sun Shaoping sat on the plane from Beijing to Xi'an. He was very nervous along the way. The shaking body and loud noise made him worry that the plane would fall apart at any time. He was even prepared to travel back at any time.
Fortunately, he landed safely in the end. Sun Shaoping's heart was relieved. Even if he could travel back, he didn't want to go back. He was tired of being alone and had no worries. There were friends and relatives here. The feeling of being cared for made him reluctant to leave.
This time, Sun Shaoping came back because of business. Someone reported to the central government that the local supply and marketing cooperative was selling rb urease bags. The reason was that some grassroots officials found that the rb urease bags were made of nylon, so they took them back to make pants. Moreover, the general public could not buy them, so they let the leading officials trade privately. The people below had a lot of opinions.
"Bring a committee member, wearing fertilizer pants. The front is made of rb, and the back is made of carbonate.”"The senior and junior officers each have a pair of black and blue underwear, but there are no members.”"Let's compare our high-quality pants. Your crotch contains 46% nitrogen, while my butt weighs 40 kilograms.”And so on, they were used to express the dissatisfaction of the masses. This was mainly because the country's supply of cloth was still too little. Even the annual cloth ticket of a village cadre's family sometimes could not make a set of clothes. Because pants were easier to damage than shirts, they were interested in wear-resistant materials like carbonate bags. For a time, this kind of " carbolic pants " was popular in the north and south of the Yangtze River. It could be said that it had driven the fashion trend of this period in the Chinese Dynasty. Sun Shaoping even saw a lot of them in Beijing.
These carboric acid were a batch of materials that RMB aided China. They were handled by the Ministry of Foreign Trade. After this incident, it was finally handled by the trade picket office. In the case of insufficient manpower, Sun Shaoping, the director, came down. In fact, this was also deliberately arranged by him. First, he wanted to avoid the upcoming Tianamen Square incident, and second, he wanted to go home and take a look. Before she left, she asked Tian Runye to take sick leave to rest at home and told her not to go shopping during this period of time. The smart Runye immediately realized that something might happen. Seeing that Sun Shaoping did not elaborate, she did not ask further.
At the airport, Shi Zhong, the deputy director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, and some staff members of the Revolutionary Committee, warmly shook hands with Sun Shaoping and said,""Director Sun, welcome! I am Shi Zhong from the Provincial Revolutionary Committee."
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," Hello, Director Shi. I really don't deserve to have you come to pick me up personally. You're an old revolutionary. You can just call me Little Sun. I'm from Shaanxi Province. I used to be a soldier under you!”
"Where is Director Sun from?" Shi Zhong asked, surprised.”
"I'm from Yuanxi County in Huangyuan District.”
"Oh! Have you ever stayed in the original West County?”"Do you know Tian Fujun, the Deputy Director of the County Revolutionary Committee?" Shi Zhong asked.”
Sun Shaoping smiled." I worked in the former Xi County Revolutionary Committee for a period of time. Director Tian is not only my old leader, but we are also from the same village. He is also my elder."”
Shi Zhong smiled." Aiya, I didn't expect to find out that you're all acquaintances. Fu Jun used to work under me, and he's a very capable, principled, and knowledgeable cadre. Since we have such a relationship, I'll call you Little Sun!"”
Sun Shaoping quickly nodded and said," Of course. You'd better call me Shaoping. That's what Uncle Tian calls me."”
Shi Zhong was very satisfied with Sun Shaoping's attitude. He didn't have the arrogant attitude of the officials from the central government in the past. Moreover, this was a mistake made by the local government and was handled by the central government. In such a sensitive period, it was not impossible to deal with a group of grassroots cadres because of the carbonate bag. That was why there was such a high-standard reception today. Otherwise, Sun Shaoping, a county-level cadre, would not be received by a cadre of this level even if he was under the ministry.
Shi Zhong said," Shaoping, let's eat first. The guest house has been arranged. You can rest for a while. We can talk about work tomorrow. How about that?"”
Sun Shaoping looked at his watch and said," Okay, then let's eat first. There's no need to rest. Let's have a meeting in the afternoon. I'll convey the decision of the trade picket office. I want to go home tomorrow morning."”
Hearing Sun Shaoping's words, Shi Zhong's worried heart was also relieved. It seemed that the problem was not too serious, and the decision had already been made. Otherwise, Sun Shaoping would not have said so.
Shi Zhong smiled." Alright then. Let's go to the Provincial Revolutionary Committee first. The food is ready."”
The two cars traveled less than four kilometers from Xiguan Airport to the Provincial Revolutionary Committee compound. Sun Shaoping took a look at the office building that was still considered impressive and followed everyone into the cafeteria.
Everyone sat down. Shi Zhong said," We still have a meeting in the afternoon, so we won't drink. Try the cooking of our canteen chef. It's not inferior to Xi'an Restaurant."”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," Just make it simple. If I can have a bowl of mutton soup, I'll be lucky!"”
Shi Zhong nodded, and he agreed with Sun Shaoping more and more. He hated this kind of atmosphere of receiving people to eat and drink, but there were many things that he couldn't do. The people of China had always liked to discuss things at the table. If the preparation was too simple, they might offend these officials. Fortunately, Sun Shaoping himself suggested it. He took the opportunity to say to the staff beside him,"There's no need to serve anything else. Everyone will have a bowl of mutton soup.”
"Give me two servings of sugar garlic!" Sun Shaoping interrupted.”
Shi Zhong laughed out loud. He could tell that Sun Shaoping was really not putting on airs with him. He said,"There's enough steamed bread and garlic!"
All the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee attended the afternoon meeting. After Sun Shaoping and Cheng Yuanzheng warmly shook hands, Cheng Yuanzheng said,""Director Sun, welcome to Shaanxi Province to guide your work! Sigh, I didn't expect that the current party members and cadres would throw the principles of party spirit to the back of their minds for a pair of pants. This matter even alarmed the central government. How embarrassing! As the director of the Revolutionary Committee, I didn't manage the subordinates well. I'm ashamed of the party organization!”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," Director Cheng, you're being too serious. This is not a matter of our province. The central government has handed this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Trade. We have also come up with specific regulations. I'll read them out now."”
After everyone sat down, Sun Shaoping took out a document from his bag, cleared his throat, and read,""Regarding the matter of the carboric bags that RV aided China, the Trade Supervision Office of the Ministry of Foreign Trade has studied and reported to the higher authorities for approval. The competent cadre of the supply and marketing cooperative who sold the carboric bags without permission was criticized in writing, and he was required to make a written review in the revolutionary committee of his unit and conduct self-criticism. The revolutionary committee at all levels should name and criticize the cadres who obtained the carbolic acid bags through improper means, so that they could deeply understand that this was a problem of corruption and a problem of the privilege of the bureaucrat class. They should also ask for the return of the carbolic acid bags they had already occupied, and make a fine of twice the price of the carbolic acid bags. Other matters should not be dealt with. The officials who obtained the urease bags through payment would not be investigated. Starting from April 10th, the supply and marketing co-ops in various places were allowed to sell the carboric bags to the masses at the price of 80 cents. No additional cloth tickets were allowed for the transaction. The trade picket office dispatched personnel to check the implementation of the handling results in the provinces and places they were responsible for at any time. Trade Supervision Office of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, China, March 25, 1976.”
Everyone agreed with this result. It achieved the purpose of punishing the former and warning the latter, but it also allowed the punishment to be appropriate and not cause the matter of correcting the wrong.
Cheng Yuanzheng smiled and said," This is a good result. The comrades from the central ministries are still the best!"”
Sun Shaoping said modestly," We're just a bunch of writers. How can we compare to the old revolutions when we're doing practical things?"”
A bespectacled man in his fifties suddenly asked,""I heard from Shi that you're from the Yellow Plains, but your accent doesn't sound like it at all.”
Sun Shaoping frowned at this person's casual tone. Who are you? Are we close? How could he say that? Although my official position is not as high as yours now, in ancient times, I would be an imperial envoy.
Shi Zhong, who was beside him, saw that Sun Shaoping's face was a little unhappy. He thought to himself that this kid was also a temperamental person. He was not kind to everyone. That's true. How could he not have a temper at such a young age and in such a high position?
"Director Sun, this is Wu Bin, the deputy director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee.”
Sun Shaoping remembered. Wasn't this Wu Zhongping's father? They might even be relatives in the future. He reached out and shook Ben's hand."Hello, Director Wu. I'm a person who speaks wherever I go. Of course, I have to speak Beijing dialect in Beijing now.”
Sun Shaoping tactfully mentioned his identity and expressed his dissatisfaction. To be able to be a high official and not be defeated, he was not a smart person. Ben also regretted his attitude just now. How could he have offended this person for no reason? However, he did not want to give in to a young man. He smiled and said,"Since Director Sun speaks the language wherever he goes, it's better to speak Xi'an dialect when you're in Xi'an.”
Sun Shaoping smiled." If one day I come to Xi'an to work, I will definitely speak Xi'an dialect. I can't change my accent for the time being."”
Cheng Yuanzheng laughed and watched from the side. Shi Zhong was anxious, afraid that the two of them would get angry.
A man in his forties smiled and shook hands with Sun Shaoping."I don't need Director Shi to introduce me. I'm Qin Fugong, the director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee. Director Sun, you're young and promising. When I was your age, I just started working, but you've already coordinated the country's economic construction.”
Sun Shaoping smiled and said," Director Qin, you flatter me. The nature of the work is different. We only care about the macro control, but you have to be responsible for the food, drink, and toilet of three million people. It's even more difficult than the work of our ministry.”
Qin Fugong laughed and said,"It's good that the comrades of the Ministry can understand the difficulties of local officials like us."”
The remaining members of the Standing Committee also chatted with Sun Shaoping for a while before the meeting ended.
Sun Shaoping was arranged to stay in the first guesthouse in the province, which was very close to the Revolutionary Committee. The living conditions were very good. In addition to having a separate bathroom, there was also a 14-inch TV. It was rare for him to encounter something that made him feel modern. Sun Shaoping turned on the TV, and the channel adjustment button turned twice, but he didn't receive any images. Was the TV station off work or was the machine broken? He couldn't figure it out either.
After Sun Shaoping took a hot bath, he followed Xiao Liu, who Shi Zhong had sent, to eat. Dinner was even simpler. It was a bowl of knife-cut noodles. However, the chef's craftsmanship was indeed good. The noodles were kneaded firmly and cut evenly. The crispy vegetables and the red meat whistle were appetizing.
Sun Shaoping asked the chef who was serving the rice,"Master, are you from the West Mansion?"”
"Leader, how did you know?" the chef asked with a smile.”
Sun Shaoping stirred the noodles and said,"There won't be so much chili noodles in other places."”
The chef quickly said,"Leader, if you don't like it, I'll make you another bowl."”
"It's pretty good. I like to eat this minced meat." Sun Shaoping smiled.”
The chef was relieved and said with a smile,"I knew it. How can it be called minced meat without spicy noodles? Xi'an people only know how to pour soy sauce in a daze. Not only do they have to add spicy noodles in minced meat, but they also have to pour vinegar! Leader, don't you think I'm right?"
Sun Shaoping gave him a thumbs up and nodded.
The chef said happily,"Leader, you've seen the world and have good taste!"”
Sun Shaoping felt that it was very awkward to stand behind someone to eat. He turned to Xiao Liu and said,"Comrade Liu, don't stand there. You can sit down too.”
Xiao Liu smiled and said," You're the leader of the central government. There's no place for me in front of you. You don't have to worry about me."”
"How can I eat with you looking at me like this?" Sun Shaoping laughed. Master, go prepare a bowl of noodles for Comrade Liu."
The chef said,"Okay, the pot is boiling. It'll be ready soon!"”
This was the small canteen of the organization. Usually, only a few leaders of the Revolutionary Committee would eat here. At this time, they had already gone home from work. Xiao Liu knew that no one would come at this time, so she did not refuse and sat down generously.
Sun Shaoping took a bite and nodded.""That's right, that's the smell…By the way, Comrade Liu, I heard from Director Shi that you know how to drive? This isn't simple. I've never seen a girl who can drive in Beijing.”
"Actually, driving isn't that difficult. It's just the coordination of your hands and feet."”
Sun Shaoping nodded, indicating that he agreed with her statement, and then said,""Director Shi has arranged for you to send me back tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you.”
" It's my job to serve the leaders," Xiao Liu said." It's not hard at all."”
Sun Shaoping nodded again and said," Your work attitude is very good. Your awareness is also very high. Young people work hard and have a future."”
Xiao Liu smiled and said," I'm just a driver. I'm not specially assigned. If I want to have a future, I have to be valued by the leaders."”
Sun Shaoping smiled and didn't continue. Little Liu also felt that she had said too much, so she didn't say anything else.
