One day in 1961, **, then Minister of Agriculture and Reclamation, was urgently called over for a meeting. **I didn't even bring a secretary, so I called a driver and went to a meeting. I never thought that the car broke down in the middle of the road, which made the ** anxious.
*。He was afraid of being late, so he had to ask the driver to contact the car for repairs, and as he walked forward, he turned around to stop the car for a ride. However, at that time, there were not many cars on the street, and they were stopped for a while.
At this time, a tricycle came in front, and ** hurriedly beckoned him to stop and get into the car. The coachman politely asked him where he was going. **Directly say go to Zhongnanhai. When the coachman heard that it was Zhongnanhai, he stopped the car directly, turned his head and said to **: "Brother, you are teasing me!" ”
* After listening, he said very seriously that he was going to Zhongnanhai, and asked him to ride quickly, he was going to have a meeting. This time, the driver was angry, and he directly told ** that this is nonsense, how can his tricycle enter Zhongnanhai, let ** not talk nonsense, there is no such joke.
*。* I know, the driver must not know him, and there is a misunderstanding. He had no choice but to reveal his identity, and told the coachman that he was the Minister of Agriculture and Reclamation, and his car was broken down on the road, and now he was in a hurry to go to Zhongnanhai for a meeting, so it was convenient for him to do it.
The coachman was a little convinced. The dignified founding general, the hero who reclaimed Nanniwan in those years, and the minister of agricultural reclamation who later led the construction of Xinjiang, must have heard of it. However, the driver still didn't believe that the middle-aged man sitting in the car was **, after all, he hadn't met.
At this time, ** had to take out a document in the package, which belonged to the Ministry of Reclamation, and said that he was really **, hoping that he could do a favor. Only then did the tricycle driver believe it. Riding a tricycle, he drove quickly towards Zhongnanhai.
* Inspect the grassroots level.
After the car arrived at Zhongnanhai, they ran into trouble again, and the guards did not let them in. **Knowing that the tricycle was indeed not allowed to enter, he said that he was the Minister of Reclamation**. The guard said that the minister was indeed coming to the meeting, and the car number had been reported earlier.
However, it was not said that the ** minister came by tricycle. In the end, he had to borrow the gate to be on duty**, call the people in the office, and ask them to explain, and the guards let him in.
However, by the time I arrived at the meeting place, ** was still late. Although *** didn't say anything, he joked with him. However, he felt very guilty in his heart. After going back, he scolded the driver severely, saying that he had made a mistake.
The driver was also uncomfortable, and the car was lying on the middle of the road, which was indeed to blame. However, he was resentful in his heart, and in a hurry, he didn't hold back, and he hit the ** on the spot, and said to him: "I have already proposed to change the car, but you just don't agree, the car condition has long been out of order, can it not be bad?" ”
*。* Seeing that the driver's face was flushed, he said everything he wanted to say, but he softened his tone and said to the driver: "Then let's maintain and repair it often, the country is in a difficult period, and there is really no need to waste it like this, just have a car." ”
So, why is the driver so excited and dares to collide with **? Why did you say that the question of changing cars had been raised a long time ago? That's a long story.
In fact, after being transferred from Xinjiang to Beijing, he was given a Jimcar. But this car is not new either, it has been used by someone else before. **It has always been like this, it has always been to promote frugality and not waste resources. So, the old Jim has been with him for 8 years now.
*。The driver felt very aggrieved because the car had problems several times, and he did dare to change it. However, **insist that you can use it if you can, and you don't have to change it.
Later, the ** Organ Affairs Administration offered to change the car for **, but ** still insisted on not changing it, saying that the car could still be used. Unexpectedly, this time it was so bad that it was on the road, causing him to be late for the meeting hosted by ***.
From this point of view, it is inevitable that the driver will be resentful. After all, the condition of the car is there, and there is a possibility of breaking down anytime and anywhere, and this time it is inevitable that it will break on the road.
With this lesson, the driver suggested that he change the car, but ** still did not change, but let the driver find the master who repaired the car, carried out a major repair and maintenance, and continued to use it after that.
*。It wasn't until 1970 that the car was completely unusable, and ** agreed to report to the Administration of Organ Affairs of the National Peace Institute to replace the car. And in total, this car has been with him for 18 years. A Jim car has been used for 18 years, which is also the most vivid embodiment of the spirit of frugality and resource conservation for the country.
