The old man thought that Liu Fusheng had agreed to accept the Wanmin Umbrella, and he immediately smiled with relief.
But Liu Fusheng then said with a smile: "Old man, thank you and all the fellow villagers for your kindness! I am opening this umbrella now because it is snowing and I don't want you to stand in the wind and snow! But this umbrella I can't accept the umbrella! Because I am a cadre of the country and it is my duty to serve the people! I cannot accept such an expensive gift from you and my fellow villagers!"
The old man heard this and said hurriedly: "But County Magistrate Liu..."
Liu Fusheng shook his head and said: "Old man, please listen to me! I can't accept this umbrella, but I can accept it on behalf of the Xiushan County Party Committee and County Government!"
While speaking, he turned to look at all the cadres and staff of the Xiushan County Party Committee and County Government who were following behind him, and said loudly: "Comrades, have you seen it? This Ten Thousand People Umbrella is the umbrella of the people of Xiushan County. We, the government workers, have the most ardent expectations and recognition! I propose that this umbrella of all peoples stand in the square of our county party committee and county government compound, so that it can remind you all the time and in the future. For all of us who work here, our mission is to serve the people! Do you agree?"
"agree!"
Hao Changfa was the first to nod heavily, and Ye Yunze, Zhou Xiaozhe and all the leading cadres in the county all nodded!
Liu Fusheng turned to look at the old man in front of him and all the people at the gate of the compound and asked, "Are the villagers satisfied with what I do?"
"satisfy!"
The tens of thousands of people bidding farewell spoke in unison.
The old man also nodded happily: "County Magistrate Liu did the right thing! This Umbrella of All Peoples was given to you by us, and if you set it up here, we people can completely rest assured. This is how you are helping us supervise With all the leading cadres, you are setting an example for them!"
Liu Fusheng smiled slightly, and then said in a deep voice again: "In addition! I have another request. In the future, the villagers should never give Umbrellas to the people again! We are not feudal bureaucrats, we are the public servants of the people! All the fathers and villagers in Xiushan County, It’s us public officials who protect us from the wind and rain!”
"I don't want this umbrella to get off to a bad start, and I don't want this to become a way for every subsequent leading cadre to praise themselves! Therefore, I want to change the name of this umbrella. It is no longer called the Umbrella for the People, but the Umbrella for the People! It is an umbrella that reminds us to never forget to serve the people!"
Liu Fusheng's proposal directly and fundamentally prevented certain cadres from following suit. Otherwise, every leading cadre would need an umbrella after resigning! Then the Wanmin Umbrella is no longer an honor, but a joke!
After saying these words, Liu Fusheng got into Sun Hai's car.
Although the people of Xiushan County knew that Liu Fusheng was leaving, they did not cry or hold any farewell ceremony.
They know that what this young county magistrate likes most is pragmatism, not those empty-headed things.
Everyone made way for Liu Fusheng's car to leave slowly.
Just as the car was about to get on the road, someone suddenly shouted: "County Chief Liu! Don't forget, you are coming to our house to eat goose stewed in an iron pot!"
This sentence, like a fuse, immediately ignited everyone's hearts, so that they finally couldn't help but shout out the words that they had suppressed deep in their hearts to prevent the atmosphere from being too sad...
"County Magistrate Liu! My son will take the college entrance examination this year! In order to prevent him from dropping out of school, you came to our house twice to scold me! When he is admitted to college, I will ask him to visit you! Kowtow to you!"
"Uncle Liu! That year, you asked me to give down jackets to people who needed them more! I did it! I passed on the warmth! Although everyone now has warm clothes to wear, that down jacket is still there one by one. It’s passed down!”
"Xiao Liu! When you come back to Xiushan County, you must come to our barbecue stall! It's still the same as before, our old lady and I are ready for you!"
"County Magistrate Liu! Our new home has been built! The three villages are all two-story buildings! You haven't even been a visitor yet!"
"County Magistrate Liu! My jade processing factory signed a big order this year! My legs and feet are not good, so I haven't been able to see you. Today, you are leaving our Xiushan County..."
…
"County Magistrate Liu! We in Xiushan County can't bear to leave you!"
Finally someone shouted this sentence!
Immediately afterwards, many people started crying!
They really couldn't bear to let Liu Fusheng, such a good county magistrate, leave their Xiushan County! That feeling is even more distressing than sending your own children to go to school or work thousands of miles away!
The crying gradually spread, and many people spoke loudly about their reluctance to leave Liu Fusheng and the promises they had made to Liu Fusheng. In the heavy snowfall, they followed Liu Fusheng's car step by step, looking forward to it. When the car stopped, Liu Fusheng got out of the car again and told them that he was not leaving!
Liu Fucheng sighed and said, "Sun Hai, drive faster!"
The slower you go, the harder it is to let go!
Sun Hai's eyes were already moist. After nodding and speeding up the car, he sniffed and asked, "Master, if I become an official and can do what you do! This life will be worth it!"
"Yes." Liu Fusheng slowly closed his eyes, pinched his slightly sore nose involuntarily, and tried to calm his voice.
In the heavy snow, Liu Fusheng's car drove farther and farther away, as if disappearing into the vast world.
But tens of thousands of people in Wanxiushan still stood in the wind and snow, their eyes following the misty car lights.
At this moment, the sky suddenly cleared up.
A beam of sunlight broke through the thick clouds, penetrated the chaos, and fell on the earth, reflecting a bright light!
Everyone held their breath and stared blankly at the light, with brilliant colors reflected in their eyes...
Zhou Xiaozhe wiped his tears, took a deep breath and said, "County Magistrate Liu left Xiushan County, but he left behind a light. This is the light of hope for our Xiushan County!"
…
Life is full of separations.
The wanderers who traveled far away from their warm homes, the graduated classmates scattered all over the sky, and the soldiers who went to the frontier shouldered the heavy responsibilities of steel...
Some experiences are destined to be hard to let go, and some things are destined to be unforgettable.
Liu Fusheng was very fortunate that God had given him another chance, allowing him to truly feel the joys and sorrows of the world, and allowing him to have a goal to pursue firmly.
Xiushan County was just a colorful stop in his life journey. When the unstoppable river of time began to roll, he slowly set off for the next stop in his life, Liaoning Iron and Steel Group!
Here, he has a goal that he must accomplish, and for that, he is prepared to spend the rest of his life with the person.
…
Liaonan Iron and Steel Group Corporation, office building.
There is another name here that is familiar to people in Liaonan, Dabailou.
Once, this was the "headquarters" of the Liaonan Iron Works of the invading army. It has experienced two wars to resist the invasion and liberate the country. Now it is the heart of this huge steel group, and it was also the heart of the entire Liaonan City, with nearly one million people. And the "holy place" in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Liaoning Iron and Steel workers!
Liu Fusheng's past and present lives have all experienced the glorious era of Liaoning Iron and Steel.
It was an era when a steel factory fed the entire city. Every day when commuting to and from get off work, the wide roads would be filled with long rivers of bicycles. Fathers and sons, brothers, sisters...all relatives worked in the same steel factory.
At that time, the words "Dabailou" were shouted louder than the city government. Every decision made in the Dabailou affected the lives of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people!
Liu Fusheng raised his head and glanced at the two characters "Liao Steel" that looked like a soaring eagle, then took a deep breath and stepped into the Dabai Building.
