When Kong Xiaohong sat on the chair that had been prepared long ago on the high platform, the noisy noise before slowly disappeared.
Everyone gradually calmed down and looked at this tanned young man. When Kong Xiaohong came, everyone was not optimistic about him. After all, he was too young. He was in charge of a county, and he was the official of his parents. What is the most important official in the world?
It is the county magistrate, no matter how small it is, he really controls the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people. Compared with those people who are far above the high hall, the county magistrate is closer to reality.
But as the floods broke out, this white-faced scholar stepped forward bravely and stood on the front line of disaster relief. Until now, it can be said that everyone in Songping County does not know Kong Xiaohong.
Even children know this is a good magistrate.
Kong Xiaohong's prestige gradually increased.
Boom!
Kong Xiaohong saw everyone became quiet and patted the microphone.
Showing a spring-like smile.
"The old and young men of Songping County, uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, sisters and nephews..."
One sentence caused a burst of applause from below.
Many people's hands turned red.
Kong Xiaohong lowered his hands slightly: "Today is a big day for Songping County, and also a big day for the whole of China, because today, not only we have held a post-disaster meeting here, but also other places."
"Today, our fight against the disaster, which lasted for more than half a year, is finally over. Today, I, Kong Xiaohong, can finally stand in front of the folks in Songping County and say loudly, we made it through!"
Kong Xiaohong's voice was straightforward, but everyone bought it.
They all clapped their hands.
Wait for the following.
"After Mr. Nie's deployment, the country's support, and... and support from all over the country, with everyone's unremitting efforts, we can finally live in a new house and our children can go to a new school..."
Kong Xiaohong listed everyone's achievements during this period, and each of them puffed up his chest and felt extremely proud.
From a mess to a small building now, they have sacrificed too much in the past six months.
"I know that some people have lost their loved ones and some have lost their children, but none of these can defeat our strong people. Now I declare the commendation meeting to officially begin!"
One by one, men, women and children wearing big red flowers walked up to the stage with their heads held high.
Kong Xiaohong presented awards one by one!
These people are all figures who emerged in the post-disaster construction. Some are supported by other places and some are local. But now, regardless of each other, they are all one family.
There was a wave of applause. After the commendation, Kong Xiaohong began to ask the staff to formally distribute the assigned documents.
Of course, the houses have already been allocated.
Flash lights flashed around from time to time. They were people from the newspaper office.
Kong Xiaohong looked at everyone's satisfied smiles and smiled happily.
"Through our efforts, our Songping has become better and more united. Taking up the post in Songping is the most correct decision I have made in my life. Because of Songping, I got to know you, and because of Songping, I got to know a group of lovely people. People, a group of Chinese people who do not bow to God, now I can proudly stand up and face everyone, and here I encourage everyone with the words of Mr. Nie."
"In the face of disaster, the legend of Westerners is Noah's Ark, and the story of our ancestors is that the Jingwei filled the sea and the Foolish Old Man moved the mountains! We have no compromise, what we have is the spirit of overcoming difficulties!"
Everyone burst into tears when Kong Xiaohong said it. Some people thought of the despair they felt during the floods, and the hope when relief workers from various places arrived.
Moreover, President Nie personally supervised the battle, and soldiers from all over the country sacrificed their lives to block the grief of the dam.
Everyone fell silent.
Kong Xiaohong smiled and his voice reached everyone's ears.
Everyone looked up.
Those were a pair of tired but hopeful eyes.
"However, it's all in the past, it's all in the past, and the future will be better!"
"It's just that I, Kong Xiaohong, may not be able to accompany you on the next journey."
As soon as he finished speaking, people were in a frenzy.
"County Magistrate, what do you want to do?"
"County Magistrate, don't make trouble. It's not easy for you today in Songping. What are you going to do!"
A cry of anger.
But Kong Xiaohong was not angry because he knew what these people were thinking.
It’s so reluctant!
Serving as an official will bring benefits to one party. Only when you really share the joys and sorrows with the people will the people behave like this.
"What are you doing? Why, you still want to tie me to Songping forever. I'm only in my twenties. Good job this time. I'll be promoted! What else can I want to do!"
The tone was like a joke, but everyone held their chests and didn't know what to say. ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ
Rationally speaking, they should be happy for the county magistrate's promotion. After all, the county magistrate, who is in his twenties, has a bright future. There are many rumors that he is Mr. Nie's brother-in-law.
They have to support and think about the county magistrate.
But emotionally, they are reluctant to let go!
Reluctant to part with this county magistrate who has truly benefited them.
Silly Zhu even shouted loudly: "Kong Xiaohong, you are shameless! You are shameless! What did you say at the beginning? Didn't you say that we are all a family?"
"Are you a comrade? Why do you want to be a deserter now?"
As he said this, Shazhu's face was already covered with tears.
Kong Xiaohong suppressed his reluctance and said teasingly: "Then you can't tie me down for the rest of your life. Don't be stupid, silly Zhu. I am happy whether I am promoted or demoted!"
This is said to Shazhu and the fellow villagers.
With that said, Kong Xiaohong wanted to cut the knot quickly: "Everyone, please be quiet. This is our new Songping County Magistrate, Huang Feng. County Magistrate Huang Feng is an extremely outstanding talent. He is many times better than me in every aspect. From now on, Everyone must cooperate well!”
Several more men stood up: "If you don't recognize it, I don't recognize it! I will recognize you as the county magistrate!"
Kong Xiaohong knew that he couldn't be soft at this time and had to suppress it, otherwise Huang Feng's work would be very difficult in the future.
With a tiger face: "What do you think? Are you being stupid? Come on, if you don't accept it, let's come out and practice. I still don't believe it. I've been a soldier, but I can't beat you?"
Several men sat down with sullen faces.
Don't say you can't beat it, even if you really can beat it, you don't dare to fight!
A commendation meeting almost turned into a full-scale martial arts event. What Huang Feng said to everyone later, the villagers had no intention of listening.
A conference ended unhappy!
After the meeting, Huang Feng looked at Kong Xiaohong with admiration: "County Magistrate Kong, if an official can do what you do, I will have no regrets!"
Kong Xiaohong smiled modestly and made the final explanation to Huang Feng very carefully, including whose family's conditions were not good and whose family had difficulty in giving birth. Every detail was in his mind.
Asking Huang Feng to take care of these difficult people, I didn't say anything about work. Sometimes it's not a good thing to say too much.
Night falls quietly.
"County Magistrate, do you really want to leave at night? Why are you so anxious in such a dark and blind manner? My wife even said that she would invite you to my house for a meal."
Several deputy county magistrates looked at Kong Xiaohong reluctantly.
Kong Xiaohong smiled: "If I don't leave today at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave by then! I hate separation the most!"
Several people sighed: "Then I wish the county magistrate a bright future!"
"Xiao Liu, be careful when driving and don't shake the county magistrate!"
Several deputy county magistrates gave instructions.
The driver Xiao Liu hummed, which showed that he was not in a good mood either!
The headlights of the car came on. Kong Xiaohong picked up his briefcase and took one last look at the brand new office building before getting in the car.
Take a deep breath.
Waved his hand: "Let's go!"
On the way, Kong Xiaohong looked at the new county town built brick by brick with his fellow villagers, and felt very complicated.
Suddenly, he seemed to see something.
He quickly said, "Xiao Liu, stop the car!"
A torch was burning, and an old lady of seventy years old stood there.
His eyes were full of reluctance.
Then more torches slowly appeared, and two fire dragons appeared on both sides of the dark road, and familiar faces appeared in front of Kong Xiaohong.
Kong Xiaohong, who thought he was strong enough to withstand separation, couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
