Chapter 21-22 Surgery

After Hong Xianguo finished speaking, according to the convention, County Mayor Liu Hongwei followed suit and made a speech. He said that the news that the Provincial Party Secretary Comrade Zhao Sancai was about to inspect Mine Nan County made him very excited and inspired. Secretary Hong also gave important instructions on this. We must implement the spirit of Secretary Hong's instructions and regard the work of receiving Secretary Zhao as an important political task. We must "attach great importance, prepare carefully, work together, and do our best" to strive for a high level and high quality to complete the political task of receiving Secretary Zhao!

Liu Hongwei's speech was just a matter of course, basically dancing according to the steps set by Hong Xianguo. Although it was a little novel, it did not overestimate the main point. As a county magistrate, he was able to grasp his role at all times and cooperate with the county party secretary to create a harmonious atmosphere, which is rare in the current political system.

Because time was tight, after Liu Hongwei finished speaking, Hong Xianguo did not ask the Standing Committee members below to continue speaking, but began to arrange the work directly.

The provincial party secretary came to inspect and found that the reception work seemed to be complicated, but in fact, it was just a few specific items to break down.

The first item is to choose an inspection point. Secretary Zhao came to inspect the construction of small towns, but he could not lead Secretary Zhao to circle around the county town in a blink of an eye. He had to select several representative construction projects, which was called highlighting the key points. Also, although Secretary Zhao was said to inspect the construction of small towns, in addition to the construction of small towns, MNan County also had to prepare one or two other inspection points to show the construction achievements of MNan County in other aspects.

According to the opinions communicated with Liu Hongwei before the meeting, Hong Xianguo proposed to use several projects that represent outstanding achievements in the construction of small towns in MNan County as inspection points. During the inspection tour of the Cultural Square, he also joined the report performance of the Henan Opera Troupe in MNan County. This allowed Secretary Zhao to see the achievements in the construction of small towns in MNan County, and also saw the achievements in cultural construction of MNan County, killing two birds with one stone.

No one had any objections to Hong Xianguo's arrangements, so the inspection site was officially decided. At Hong Xianguo's proposal, the meeting passed the decision to take the lead in charge of the inspection site.

The next second item is to prepare a secretary's symposium. After the provincial party secretary comes down, a symposium will definitely be held as usual after the inspection activity is over. So those people will attend this symposium and have to do their homework in advance. Otherwise, they may not be able to miss it at the symposium.

Hong Xianguo arranged for Party and Mass Secretary Deng Guohua to take the lead in this work, and no one had any objections.

The next third task is security work. The provincial party secretary came down and said that this security work is of course the top priority and must be ensured to be foolproof. This work is naturally responsible by the county public security director Ou Beixiang.

The fourth task is the real reception work, mainly the food and accommodation of the provincial party secretary and entourage. This seems to be a small problem, but it is actually a crucial issue related to the success of the reception work. This work is the responsibility of the reception section chief, the immediate superior of the general manager of the county party committee Xiaozhao, and the government office director He Lu Ming.

The fifth work is publicity work. The provincial party secretary came to inspect and the county propaganda department must cooperate. Even if the report cannot be reported simultaneously, the corresponding special reports must be taken out after the provincial party secretary leaves. This work is naturally handed over to the county party committee propaganda department to be responsible.

Finally, a special working group was established at the meeting to coordinate any problems that arise in this preparation work. In order to improve the authority of the working group and ensure the efficiency of the working group, Hong Xianguo personally took charge and served as the leader of the working group. He Lu Ming, the head of the county party committee office, served as the deputy head of the working group, and was specifically responsible for the liaison and coordination tasks.

After the meeting, this huge administrative machine in Mangnan County immediately started running at high speed, and the whole county was involved in the preparations for welcoming the No. 1 head of the Provincial Party Committee. However, many people did not know that what they did was to welcome the No. 1 head of the Provincial Party Committee.

For our male protagonist Lin Yuanfang, I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune. Just when the county party secretary Hong Xianguo held a joint enlarged meeting of the county party committee and county government in the small auditorium of the county party committee, he suddenly felt severe pain in his lower abdomen and was sent to the county people’s hospital. After an emergency examination, it was acute appendicitis and needed surgery.

Uncle Quan came over from Linzhuang after hearing the news. When they heard that Lin Yuanfang was going to undergo surgery, both of them were frightened. Lin Yuanfang had to explain to the old couple that appendicitis was just a minor surgery and it was no big deal. He could go down to the ground and walk in two or three days after the operation, and could remove the stitch in seven days and be discharged from the hospital. Uncle Quan Quan then felt relieved and signed the name on the operation sheet.

The operation went smoothly and was very successful. It was completed in half an hour and Lin Yuanfang was sent back to the ward. Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their son was safe and sound.

Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Yuanfang felt a little annoyed. Of course, he was not upset because he missed the preparations for the No. 1 head of the Provincial Party Committee. At this time, he did not know the situation. Lin Yuanfang was upset that four days later, it was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. According to the customs of Mangnan, he still attached great importance to this Mid-Autumn Festival. Especially in the evening, the whole family would have to get together for a reunion dinner. But now, the fifteenth day of August will be spent in the ward. This is a very bad omen for Mangnan people, especially rural people in Mangnan. Eating a reunion dinner in the ward symbolizes that the family has many disasters and diseases. Lin Yuanfang graduated from university and is also an intellectual, and there are not many taboos about having a reunion dinner in the ward, but his parents are farmers and their thoughts are still very traditional. Lin Yuanfang was worried that after celebrating August 15th in the ward, he would leave any knots on his parents' thoughts.

Soon Lin Yuanfang knew that he was overly worried. The next day after the operation, the section chief Zhang Haiyang accompanied the chairman of the bureau’s union to visit him. Although he only brought a few bags of milk powder and fruits, he also said routine clichés such as resting in peace of mind, this still made Uncle Quan feel very excited, especially before leaving, the union chairman stuffed a hundred yuan in condolences into Uncle Quan’s hand, which made Uncle Quan so excited that he didn’t know what to do.

After the union chairman and Zhang Haiyang left, the family members of the patient in the same room said to Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan enviously: "You old couple are so lucky to have such a promising son. It is better for a state cadre. It doesn't cost money to treat the disease. The public will not be reimbursed. The leader also came to visit him, stuffed money and gave him nutritional supplements..." As he said that, he picked up a bag of milk powder and looked at it, and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "God, it's still made from foreign countries! It's full of foreign letters!"

"That's because the leader of the unit knows how to care about the masses, but in fact he is just an ordinary person in the unit." Uncle Quan said with a dry tobacco pipe in his mouth and smiled.

"You just take a few less snacks!" Aunt Quan was brewing milk powder in the distance. When she smelled the choking smoke, she turned her head and said to Uncle Quan: "Didn't you see that the distance is recuperating?"

"Okay, okay." Uncle Quan quickly knocked his tobacco on the upper part of his shoe, twisted the ash with his feet, took the thermos from Aunt Quan's hand, and said flatteringly: "Come on, let me do it. This goat milk powder has high nutritional value, and it just happens to replenish our body in the distance."

Lin Yuanfang couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene on the hospital bed. The old couple still had leisure time at this time, which means they were in a good mood. It seems that the old couple would not have any trouble after August 15 in the ward.

During the past few days of Lin Yuanfang's hospitalization, Wang Hulin and other colleagues from the unit who had good relationships came to the hospital to visit the hospital one after another, but they didn't stay in the ward for long. Seeing them coming and going, Lin Yuanfang was a little puzzled. The work of the Planning Bureau is not very busy, so why do they all look very busy? Lin Yuanfang originally asked about the situation when Wang Hulin came again next time, but who knew that Wang Hulin had only come to the hospital for a check-in, and never appeared again. Lin Yuanfang didn't know at this time that in order to welcome the inspection of the provincial party secretary, cadres and staff of county-level agencies, including the Planning Bureau, were all mobilized and devoted to the intense preparations.

September 19th, the 14th day of the eighth lunar month, is also the fifth day of Lin Yuanfang's appendicitis surgery. Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be around, and it is a good time for the clear and cool autumn weather, but the temperature is unusually high and the air is very humid, as if it is back to midsummer, which makes people breathless.

The other three patients in the ward completed the discharge procedures early this morning and surrounded by their families to prepare for the reunion dinner on August 15th. The ward was originally very crowded and only Lin Yuanfang's family of three was left, but it seemed empty, making people a little unacceptable at once.

Seeing that the other patients were discharged from the hospital and he had to stay in the ward, Lin Yuanfang felt a little guilty. However, the old couple of Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan were very open-minded and pointed to the three free beds and said, "It's going to be fine now. You don't have to work on the floor to sleep at night, you can lie on the bed and sleep."

At night, the temperature showed no sign of dropping, and it was still stuffy and hot. Lin Yuanfang was still sweating while wearing a thin hospital gown. The blade on his lower abdomen was soaked in sweat, making itchy and painful.

"Is it going to rain in this ghost weather?" Lin Yuanfang lay on the windowsill and looked at the dark sky outside.

September 19th, at 23:00.

The conference room of the MNan County Party Committee was brightly lit, and the two cabinet-type air conditioners made a buzzing sound and blew out the cool air, creating a cool world.

He Luming, the head of the county party committee, shook his head and smiled bitterly when he listened to the air conditioner's voice. On the late night of August 14th, there are probably rare cases in the history of Mangnan County.

At this time, an emergency meeting was being held in the conference room. County Party Secretary Hong Xianguo was listening to several project leaders to report on the progress of the preparations for receiving Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee. If everything was fine, Hong Xianguo would rush to Tianyang City early tomorrow morning to report to Municipal Party Secretary Tian Jianshe.

"The preparations for several inspection points are all ready, and there are no problems." County Mayor Liu Hongwei first introduced the work he was responsible for.

"In the afternoon, I also visited several inspection sites. County Magistrate Hongwei did a very meticulous job and was very good!" Hong Xianguo nodded and said, "But there is a situation that needs to be paid attention to. I heard that several inspection sites have prepared a lot of banners and slogans, and are preparing to hang them out when Secretary Zhao comes down. This is a bit inappropriate."

"Oh, Director Xie Tianlai asked them to do this, and it was also to set off the atmosphere." Liu Hongwei explained.

"Don't do that much, remove part of it." Hong Xianguo waved his hand, "Secretary Tian specifically reminded me when he called today, saying that Secretary Zhao didn't like to talk about pomp."

Liu Hongwei had a strange look on his face. He pondered for a while and said, "Okay, after the meeting, I will immediately ask Director Tianlai to inform them to make some adjustments."

Hong Xianguo nodded and turned his gaze to Ou Beixiang, Director of the Public Security Bureau: "Director Ou, have you contacted the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee?"

"I've contacted it." Ou Beixiang sat upright, "other situations are easy to deal with. However, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee said that Secretary Zhao had regulations that police cars were not allowed to open the road when going out, nor were they allowed to affect normal traffic command, and that they could make green lights all the way. There was also no allowance to use a large amount of police force, etc., saying that these measures were all disturbing the public."

He looked at Hong Xianguo helplessly, "Secretary Hong, if we really follow Secretary Zhao's regulations, our security work will be difficult. What if there is any situation along the way..."

"This is easy to do." Hong Xianguo pondered for a moment, knocked on the table with his hand, and said, "The police car still needs to be sent, but don't sirens. As for the police force, it should be used, but you must change into plainclothes and keep it tight inside and loose outside."

Liu Hongwei also said: "Secretary Hong's instructions are very good. Lao Ou, we must keep it tight inside and loose outside. Since we have ensured that Secretary Zhao's safety is foolproof, we cannot make Secretary Zhao feel that we have taken special measures against him, which has affected the normal travel of the people."

Ou Beixiang even claimed that the secretary and the county magistrate were different. They were considering the problems with a high level and grasped the key points of the problems at once. The people below could not think of these measures.
