I take the whole village out of poverty and become rich

Chapter 243 Governance for the people, time waits for no one

Early the next morning, Gao Yuanming got up from the bed, and after washing, he sat on the sofa and drank tea slowly.

A sip of hot tea poured into the stomach, slowly melting the "frozen" body and mind on the bed.

The wife placed the steamed buns, porridge and kimchi brought back from the cafeteria on the table, "Come over for dinner."

Gao Yuanming slowly moved over and sat down, picked up a white meat bun and took a bite, he said: "Yihu, take 1000 yuan in the red package and put it in my briefcase."

These welcoming and sending things are commonplace, and the wife just got up and did it without asking any more questions.

Gao Yuanming had breakfast, walked to the office with his bag and sat down, made a cup of tea skillfully, pressed the computer switch, lit a cigarette, leaned on the chair and smoked one leisurely, then clicked on the portal, concentrated on I looked at it carefully, and occasionally answered the phone, and before I knew it, an hour passed quietly.

He got up and went to the toilet to relieve himself. He just ran into Huo Qianli. After saying hello, he suddenly remembered what he said in the meeting yesterday.

Back in the office, looking at the computer screen, Gao Yuanming thought, he shouldn't be too lazy, he should work hard when it's time to work hard!

So he closed the irrelevant pages, took out the work materials from the folder on the desk, and looked through them.

The landline on the table was picked up and put down, and the staff were called one after another to report or listen to instructions.

Another hour passed quickly, Gao Yuanming stretched his waist, looked at the work content recorded in the notebook, and lit a cigarette with satisfaction.

This morning has been very fulfilling, which makes resting a bit more at ease!

After resting for another half an hour, Gao Yuanming saw that the time was almost up. He took out the red envelope from his briefcase, took it out and counted it again, then picked up a pen and wrote a small character [高] on the corner of the red envelope, and put it in his coat In the inner pocket of his chest, he got up and went downstairs.

In the dam downstairs, there were already five or six people standing, all members of the town's leadership team.

Seeing Gao Yuanming, everyone greeted him one after another. Gao Yuanming also nodded and smiled. Just after a few words of greeting, Xiao Yao also came down.

"Old Xiao, what's the matter today?"

"Is Secretary Huo dead?"

The curious person asked, Xiao Yao shook his head, "Secretary Huo's birthday is not at this time. I don't know what's going on. He didn't say that we can eat at ease, haha!"

"I'm worried that if it's a big deal, we won't be polite enough!"

Gao Yuanming laughed, "Hi! I don't think so. Secretary Huo is not that kind of person. It's enough to have the basic etiquette in place."

Xiao Yao also hummed, "Old Gao is right."

When everyone thought about it, they all smiled knowingly.

Then tacitly handed over all the red envelopes to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse, and put everything in his pocket, "Let's say yes first, don't blame me if you can't send it out!"

Just as he was talking, Huo Qianli and Cao Qingfeng went downstairs together.

"It's all here!" Huo Qianli said with a smile.

"I'm not active in eating, and there are problems with thinking."

A deputy mayor joked, which made everyone laugh.

But none of them saw Cao Qingfeng's strange expression.

Huo Qianli also smiled slightly, "Okay, let's not delay, get in the car and set off!"

As he spoke, he beckoned, and Wang Wei, who was waiting by the side, asked the driver to drive four cars.

"Just get in the car, the driver knows the place."

Huo Qianli yelled and walked towards the front car.

The rest of the people looked at each other and got into the car.

As the director of the town committee office, Wang Wei naturally had to serve Huo Qianli back and forth, so Gao Yuanming had to sit in the second car with Xiao Yao.

A row of cars slowly drove out of the government compound, making the ordinary government staff feel a lot more relaxed in an instant, and at the same time secretly swearing, the leaders of Gou Ri ran out to eat good food again!

"Old Xiao, where is the noon arrangement?"

After the car drove out, Gao Yuanming asked curiously.

Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "I'm just like you, I really don't know anything."

When he saw the car passing by the door of Hushan Restaurant and then all the way through the town, Xiao Yao couldn't sit still anymore, looking at the driver who was concentrating on driving, "Old Zhang, where are we going?"

The driver smiled, "Secretary Huo arranged for us to go to Zhuyang Village."

The secretary of the Disciplinary Committee on the co-driver frowned, "Zhuyang Village, I haven't heard of any delicious food there!"

Xiao Yao recalled the hot pot rabbit that Mr. He had invited him to eat before, and said, "Maybe Lao Huo found someone who can cook, let's eat at his house!"

After thinking about it, Gao Yuanming showed his agreement, "In this situation, we need to be more careful. The occasion is private and safe, haha!"

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "You're right, Lao Yanke wants to talk to you!"

Secretary Yan waved his hand, "Not at all."

All three of them laughed together. The so-called supervisors at the same level, including this secretary Yan, didn't and couldn't take it too seriously.

Although Zhuyang Village was a bit out of the way, the cement road was connected, and within ten minutes, all four vehicles drove in front of the village committee.

Before getting out of the car, Gao Yuanming caught a glimpse of Zhuyang village chief and other men waiting at the gate of the village committee from the car window, and said to Xiao Yao with a smile: "It seems that old Xiao Ni knows Secretary Huo best. !"

Xiao Yao smiled, opened the door and got out of the car, and walked towards Huo Qianli.

On the other side, Gao Qiang, the head of Zhuyang Village, also led people to meet him.

Huo Qianli turned his head to look at the crowd and said with a smile: "I have invited you here today because I want to treat you to a meal that I have wanted to treat you for a long time."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled slightly. It seemed that Caicai had the same guess as Xiao Yao in the car just now, and this guess seemed to be confirmed now.

Huo Qianli took out a folded A4 paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and showed it to everyone, "This is the list of poor households in Zhuyang Village today. I want to change the format of this meal, please come with me Go to eat once, and taste the daily meals of those poor households under our governance. There are nine families on this paper, and everyone chooses one, and we will go to their homes to eat at noon today. Those who don’t know the way, There are people here to guide everyone. Comrade Qingfeng, you choose first."

After receiving the paper from Huo Qianli, Cao Qingfeng glanced at the bewildered crowd with some mischief, as if seeing himself who had just heard Huo Qianli's thoughts this morning.

Huo Qianli saw the change of expression and the restless crowd, and said seriously: "Everyone chooses the one left, which is mine, and I will also go over honestly. I will eat whatever they eat. I I know, this is a bit embarrassing for everyone, but I hope everyone can cooperate."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, I think it's good. It's just a special political study!" Cao Qingfeng smiled and took the pen, chose a line, and wrote his name, "I'll choose this one."

After finishing writing, he handed the pen and paper to Gao Yuanming.

Gao Yuanming took it hesitantly, looking at the burning eyes of the first and second in command, he reluctantly chose one.

The people in the back have nothing to say, they have chosen the ones in the front, and no matter how reluctant they are, they can only follow suit, otherwise they still want to hang out in this officialdom.

After everyone finished choosing, the list returned to Huo Qianli's hands. Huo Qianli signed his name on the last blank line, then folded the list and put it in his pocket, "Then please go, everyone. After dinner, see you at the village committee office!"

Seeing a group of town leaders, accompanied by the "Leading Party", scattered throughout Zhuyang Village, Gao Qiang was amazed, "Secretary Huo is really amazing!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the village committee, and hurriedly arranged according to Huo Qianli's instructions.

Cao Qingfeng followed a village man on the village road.

He had come to Zhuyang Village with Huo Qianli before, and he had also been there by himself, but now walking in the cool and windy mountain forest, his mood was a little different from the previous few times.

"How far are we going?" he asked.

The man who led the way was very respectful, bent sideways and said: "It's not very far, just cross a ditch."

Cao Qingfeng asked again: "Do you know that family?"

"know."

"How is his family?"

"Hey!"

Before explaining the specific situation, the man leading the way let out a long sigh.

"Very annoyed, a man in his 40s, single, childless, and dependent on an old woman in her 70s to take care of her. If it weren't for the fact that there are two older sisters who are married, they would sometimes hide it from their husband's family for relief. Life may not be able to go on anymore. Normally, whichever house in the village does something, they would have the cheek to come here to eat and drink. In the past, the old man would be a man, and everyone misses the old love, so they just turn a blind eye. eyes."

Cao Qingfeng was taken aback, "Didn't you farm the land? Aren't there odd jobs in the industrial park now? Why don't you go to work and earn money?"

The man sneered, "As long as you have hands and feet, if you work hard, you won't live like this! To be honest, life is much better now than before, and the government's policies are good, as long as you really want to There is no way to make money, he himself is like a puddle of mud, which cannot be pasted on the wall!"

Cao Qingfeng sighed and stopped talking.

After walking for another 10 minutes, the man leading the way pointed to a small one-story house in front of him and said, "Mayor Cao, that's where Youshengwa lives now."

Cao Qingfeng looked along his fingers, and the one-story house in front of him was not big, only seventy or eighty one-story house, built with red bricks, it looked simple and old.

Not far to the left and right of this house, there are several other houses, but most of them are earthen embryo houses. It seems that this place was still a settlement in the past.

I don’t know whether it’s because of disrepair or some disasters, a few houses have already collapsed, leaving only ruined walls, beams and rotten wood to bear the wind and rain alone.

Cao Qingfeng wondered: "Looking at it this way, this family is not very poor. Others live in mud houses, but they can still live in red brick bungalows."

The man chuckled, "This house is mine. I built a building by the side of the road, and this house is not going to live anyway. I gave it to him for his pity. His house used to be there."

The man pointed to a half-destroyed earth embryo house, Cao Qingfeng twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Let's go."

When we reached the door of the bungalow, we could already see the smoke from the kitchen.

Two piles of broken bricks built a shelf, and on the shelf was a broken door panel.

An old woman stood in front of the door and grabbed a handful of wild vegetables that Cao Qingfeng couldn't recognize from a plastic bucket filled with water. The roots were still dripping with water, and the water in the plastic bucket was turbid.

The old woman put the vegetables directly on the door, picked up an iron knife with a rusty handle, and cut the wild vegetables into small pieces.

Then he scooped up the vegetables with an iron knife and put them into the antimony pot on the stove next to him.

It was this turning around that made her see Cao Qingfeng and the man leading the way standing by the house.

"Oh, Yousheng, hurry up and sit down."

The old woman hurriedly greeted the man, and turned around to look for a bench.

The man stepped forward quickly, "Auntie, don't look for it anymore, I'll just stand there for a while."

"Brother Sheng! The official is here?"

Suddenly there was an excited voice in the bungalow. A man wearing only a pair of long johns with holes and deformation on his lower body rushed out while wearing a coat. He saw Cao Qingfeng with a glance.

Then his eyes turned around Cao Qingfeng's left and right, and his face became unhappy in an instant, "You came here just empty-handed?"

Cao Qingfeng frowned, and the man who led the way kicked him lightly, "What are you talking about, the mayor Cao came to see you, it's a shame for you!"

"I'm not surprised that he came to see me." The man in long johns snorted, and then immediately dodged to the side, guarding against possible attacks by the man leading the way.

The man leading the way was about to say something, Cao Qingfeng shook his head at him, then took a step forward, looked at the man in long johns, "You only wear this, aren't you cold?"

The man in the long johns wrapped his coat and didn't answer him, but turned to look at the old woman, "Call me when the rice is cooked!"

After speaking, he hurried into the house, and the man who led the way came over and looked at Cao Qingfeng, "Mayor Cao, it's not that he can't afford to wear pants, he's just dozing off on the bed."

After a moment of astonishment, Cao Qingfeng quickly regained his composure. With a wry smile, he walked over and said kindly to the old woman, "Ma'am, I'm here to bother you for a meal today!"

The old woman waved her hand like a withered vine, "You are welcome! The village head said this morning that you don't mind the extra pair of chopsticks."

"How can you dislike it! What else can I do, let me help you!"

"There's nothing to worry about, it's all done, and you can eat after sitting down for a while."

Cao Qingfeng just wanted to ask if this is not cooking yet, and then quietly realized that there is no food for this meal.

He didn't sit still, called the man, and went into the room to have a look.

Walking into the bungalow, there is a strange smell.

The smell of sweat is mixed with the smell of sour, musty, and the smell of the urine bucket, mixed together, it smells very good.

A big house was divided into two rooms by a wall, and a bed was placed in each room, presumably it was the respective residences of the mother and son.

Layers of clothes were piled up at the corners of the bed and on the cabinets, and shoes and other sundries were also scattered on the ground. Cao Qingfeng even saw a mouse dragging its long tail along the wall, slipping into it. It disappeared under the bed.

Just now, the man was half lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, watching the TV on the side cabinet without taking his eyes off it.

"time to eat!"

Outside the house, the old woman yelled.

The man lifted the quilt, and a stronger strange smell rushed out with the movement, making Cao Qingfeng and the man leading the way couldn't help but hold their noses.

Walking out, the old woman had scooped up three bowls of porridge and put them on the door panel, and was carefully dripping sesame oil into the bowls.

The man directly took a bowl of the most, and squatted on a stone beside him with his chopsticks to suck up.

Cao Qingfeng looked at the two big half bowls left in his hand, and with a glance, he found another bowl hidden by the old woman. There was only a small half bowl in that bowl, so he said, "Ma'am, my appetite Little, let me give you some points."

To be honest, this is because I don’t want the old woman to have enough to eat, and the second is that I really can’t eat.

The man who led the way also called the old lady involuntarily.

Cao Qingfeng touched the non-greasy bowl, did not move his chopsticks, but picked up the bowl and took a sip. Unexpectedly, the taste was not bad, with the sweetness of vegetables and the strong aroma of rice.

After a simple meal like this, Cao Qingfeng, who wanted to help wash the dishes but failed, had to leave.

Because he didn't bring any condolences, the man didn't bother to talk to him at all, and he didn't even come to send them off. Only the old woman sent them outside.

Cao Qingfeng reached out to touch his trouser pocket, but unexpectedly, the man leading the way quietly pressed his hand, and then smiled at the old woman: "Auntie, we are leaving, take care of yourself."

"Yes, yes, take your time!" The old woman, who was short due to shrinkage, was wearing an apron, standing on the side of the road, smiling and waving.

After walking a few steps, the man took the initiative to explain: "Mayor Cao, don't give me any money. Once you give me money, Yousheng's son of a bitch will take it to the town to eat and drink. It's a waste."

Cao Qingfeng nodded slowly, walked to a hillside, turned his head to look back, looked at the one-story house that was about to disappear from sight, imagined that old but hard-working figure was busy somewhere in the house, suddenly there was a strong surge of The urge to change all this.

Suddenly, he understood Huo Qianli's intention of making such a fuss.

In the office of the village committee of Zhuyang Village, a group of town leaders sat with different expressions, and there was no one else.

Huo Qianli sat at the head and asked, "What did you eat for this meal? Is it okay?"

Cao Qingfeng didn't hesitate, and said seriously: "Porridge with wild vegetables, with a few drops of sesame oil, to be honest, it's quite delicious for people like me who eat a lot of fish and meat on weekdays. But for the villagers who can only eat this every day , it will be very difficult.”

The chairman of the town's people's congress said: "My family's situation may be better than Mayor Qingfeng's. I ate a meal of sweet potato rice and a plate of stir-fried vegetables."

Gao Yuanming said: "My family is disabled and poor. Its economic conditions and family situation are good. However, after losing the main labor force and having to pay for medical expenses, the family's economy collapsed rapidly. This family is more careful. After guessing some things, although Village Chief Gao told them to eat whatever they usually eat, he still tried his best to make two dishes and one soup. To be honest, he deserves it!"

When the rest of the people heard that these people were being treated like this, they didn't have anything to complain about, so they opened their mouths to tell the situation.

Huo Qianli nodded, looked at Xiao Yao who was the only one who didn't speak, "Mayor Xiao, what about you?"

Xiao Yao's face collapsed, "When I went there, there was only one man, he was too lazy to die, and wanted me to cook for him, so neither of us ate."

Many people laughed unkindly, and the originally serious atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Huo Qianli sighed, "First of all, I'm here to apologize to you all. I forced you to do this matter today in a more domineering manner. If there is any offense, please bear with me."

Everyone naturally denied it repeatedly.

Huo Qianli didn't get entangled in this issue, and continued: "Of course, this is not for everyone to live such a life. Everyone studies hard and works hard in order to live a better life and to think hard. Sweet doesn't mean much."

He glanced around and flicked over everyone's faces, "I just hope that everyone can find out and remember that in our jurisdiction and the place we manage, there are still such people living such a life."

"Comrades, this is just Zhuyang Village. How many other villages are there in Qianfu Town? How many families should there be like today? Just seeing every family in Hushan Village get rid of poverty and become rich, and the industrial park is booming, I feel that everything is going well. Lying on the credit book and sleeping? Can it work?"

"In the past, some people ridiculed some of our lazy government cadres, a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper for a day. Occasionally hold a meeting and spread the word, and the work is considered finished. Of course, I believe that now in our building , There are no such comrades anymore, everyone’s work enthusiasm and attitude have been raised a lot, and many things are advancing much faster than before. But it is not enough.”

"Serving the people, our job is to let them live a better life as soon as possible. If we make achievements one day earlier, they will have one less day of hardship. They have not escaped poverty, and they are still suffering from poverty. The work has not been done yet! Time does not wait, comrades!"

"I hope that in the coming days, our entire team will work together to drive the entire government and all the people together, so that the people in Qianfu Town can truly live a happy and worry-free life! I believe that at that time, the support of the people and the support of the organization Recognition will give everyone a sense of accomplishment and happiness!"
