I take the whole village out of poverty and become rich

Chapter 278 Another New Year Arrives
The wind is getting tighter every day. It shakes the branches and keeps asking, when is the New Year?When is Chinese New Year?
The branch that was about to be shaken bald helplessly shed two leaves, and said with a careless rustle, soon, soon.

With the official signing of the cooperation agreement between Jincheng Tongda Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd. and Hushan Village Collective Assets Management Co., Ltd.,
The establishment of a scenic spot operation platform company jointly funded by the two parties (Tongda Cultural Tourism contributes in cash, and Hushan Village Collective Assets Management Co., Ltd. contributes in land discount and part of the cash contribution) has also entered a comprehensive and formal negotiation preparation stage.

Of course, there is still at least a month or two before all the formalities are officially completed.

However, the preliminary survey and other preparations have been carried out one after another, and the construction can only start with one order.

The days in Qianfu Town were the same as the past six months, plain and full of hope, and what was reflected on everyone's faces were more and more smiles.

The work of the government suddenly became easier during the sudden and busy period of years ago.

Those things such as going to the countryside for poverty alleviation, industrial guidance, inspection and inspection, and sympathy and negotiation are temporarily drawn as a separator in front of the Spring Festival, a major event that all Chinese people celebrate together.

One day before the Chinese New Year, Huo Qianli took half a day off, bought some things by himself, and went to a place.

After checking layer by layer, and waiting for a while, he saw the familiar figure through the window.

Maybe it's because the stripes on the prison uniform make him look thinner. The whole person has lost a lot of weight compared to before, but his complexion is obviously better.

Huo Qianli picked up the microphone in front of him, looked at the thin face on the opposite side, and said, "I brought you something, after all, it's Chinese New Year."

The person on the other side might want to be silent, but thinking that there is a time limit for prison visits, he nodded, "Thank you."

"How are you doing?"

After asking this sentence, Huo Qianli felt a little regretful, but the answer came from the microphone, "It's pretty good, I slept better than before."

Now it was Huo Qianli's turn to be silent, and he spoke after a while, "I entrusted a friend to look after my child's school, there is nothing wrong, don't worry."

"Brother, I want to ask you one more favor."

Two hours later, Huo Qianli came to the entrance of a restaurant in Jincheng and found the lobby manager.

Huo Qianli's career as a cadre for several years has given Huo Qianli a bit of a good air. Although he came alone, the lobby manager who had seen countless people did not dare to neglect him. After listening to his words, he quickly called A young man came out.

When the young man in work uniform saw Huo Qianli, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and stood still.

The manager in the lobby saw that he really knew her, so he was relieved.

Huo Qianli gave the cigarettes he bought in the bag to the lobby manager and put them in the lobby manager's palm for his convenience, and the lobby manager agreed with a knowing smile.

Pulling the young man aside and pressing him on the seat, Huo Qianli sat down beside him and looked at him directly, "Who am I?"

The young man still lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Uncle Huo."

"Since you know me, why don't you dare to look up at me?"

The young man pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Because you are the son of a criminal?"

The young man raised his head abruptly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, then dissipated immediately, and drooped again.

Huo Qianli looked at the top of the young man's head in front of him, and said softly: "Do you know? Your father was sent in by me."

The young man trembled, but still did not speak.

"But, I went to see him just now, and he doesn't hold any grudges against me. Do you know what that means?"

The young man was silent, and then in Huo Qianli's same silence, he shook his head slightly.

Only then did Huo Qianli say: "It means he knew he was wrong, and he regretted it."

He sighed, "Let me tell you a story about me and your dad."

So, he talked about the first meeting with Wang Ping'an, the career they made together in Hushan Village, and the support and praise of the common people. The young man slowly raised his head, with a strange look in his eyes. of light.

Then, after returning to Qianfu Town again, the young man knew the result, but was also attracted by Huo Qianli's narration, and stared at him unknowingly.

Listening to his father stand up for two years against corruption;

Listening to his father finally being overwhelmed by some other things, he slowly compromised, and once he retreated, he missed his life;
His expression gradually became complicated, and it was no longer pure anger.

"Before the Disciplinary Committee came, I chatted with your father, and he was very calm. He was not hysterical, he was not angry, only regret and remorse. Before he left, he asked me one thing."

Huo Qianli looked into his eyes, "He asked me to take care of you,"

"Everyone makes mistakes. Have you made mistakes? You must have made them. Lying, stealing money, breaking things, fighting, and swearing were all mistakes when I was a child. I also made mistakes. No one is perfect in this world."

"But I think we can neither dwell on the mistakes of the past and delay today, nor punish ourselves for the mistakes of others. You are a college student, an adult, you have read history, and you have lived for more than ten years , ask yourself, is it right for you to do what you are doing now?"

The young man was silent.

"You feel that you have been wronged and will be looked down upon by others, so you run away and pretend to be an ostrich. Have you ever thought about your mother? Where can she escape? You still have school and classmates, but what about her? In such a big family, she was the only one left in an instant, how did she survive those days?"

"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and you are still pretending to be working here, not answering the phone and not going home, what is your manly responsibility?"

Huo Qianli's tone gradually became agitated, the young man opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Huo Qianli took a deep breath, "I went to see your dad today. Your dad can ask me for help. But he only asked me for one thing. Do you know what it is?"

The young man finally spoke, "Please persuade me to go back?"

Huo Qianli shook his head, "He wants to invite my wife and I to have dinner with your mother tonight. He said that she has always been a lively person, but she probably hasn't had dinner with anyone for a long time."

The young man's heart twitched suddenly, and tears filled his eyes in an instant.

"Go back, it's up to you to do this, take good care of this family, you are the pillar of the family now, those things will be in the past, in a long life, it's actually nothing. Right?"

The young man nodded emphatically.

Two minutes later, Huo Qianli reached out to recruit the lobby manager, got up and smiled and said, "Hello manager, he is my nephew, and now I am taking him back, please settle the previous salary. The incident happened suddenly, today's Forget about the salary, just treat it as my apology.”

The manager of the lobby rolled his eyes, "Isn't it appropriate? He leaves as soon as he says. Who will do our business? It will have a great impact on our business."

Huo Qianli said indifferently: "I asked him, you don't have the rule of deducting wages when you leave the job, not to mention that he is only a part-time temporary worker, he just serves a plate, and there are more than a dozen people with him, so it is impossible to let him Does it affect just one person?"

The lobby manager made a gesture, "It's fine to go, but I have to deduct five days' wages. It's really difficult for me to do this temporarily."

Huo Qianli chuckled nonchalantly, "Comrade, when I reason with you, you'd better listen. When I don't reason with you, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

The lobby manager glanced at Huo Qianli, hesitated for a moment, and finally made the right choice.

A few minutes later, Huo Qianli led the young people out of the restaurant's lobby.

Opening the curtain, the cold air rushed over quickly, and the young man suddenly froze in place.

On the street with few pedestrians, under the street lamp ahead, a figure I haven't seen for half a year is alone with the lamppost, standing in the cold wind, stomping his feet from time to time.

"mom!"

The young man who had untied his heart yelled, rushed over, and hugged the woman in his astonishment.

The woman's hand slowly pressed the young man's back, and whispered softly: "It's okay, it's okay, mom is okay."

Letting go of his embrace, the young man looked at his mother's face, which was almost several years old, and tears warmed his cold cheeks.

"Okay, okay, mom is fine. Let's go home, mom made you your favorite goulash and made dumplings for you."

"Ah."

Huo Qianli stepped forward, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's go, I'll take you home."

More than an hour later, in Dongjiang County, Huo Qianli put the mother and son down, and took out two gift boxes from the trunk, "Sister-in-law, happy new year."

The woman waved her hands again and again, and Huo Qianli couldn't help but put them in her palm, "I won't say any more, I'm going back."

"I call you a lot of food! I'm ready, soon!"

"It's okay, I have something to do when I go back. You guys have a good year."

After speaking, Huo Qianli opened the car door.

"Uncle Huo!"

Huo Qianli turned his head.

"Thank you."

Huo Qianli smiled and waved his hands, as if he was being modest, but also as if he was saying goodbye.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Qingyue drove the car, took her son and mother, and Han Zhiyuan and his wife back to Qianfu Town.

Before they got out of the car, Gu Haitao, who had been notified early, took Jiang Qiuyan to guard under the dormitory of the town government, and "robbed" them directly to Hushan Village.

The Gu family has already been refurbished. As an "old-timer" who started a home improvement business in the town, the decoration company that was paid to do the work dared not neglect at all. They did it according to high standards, and Gu Daqiang did not miss their money.

Therefore, the room is more than sufficient, and it is properly arranged.

The New Year itself is meant to be a celebration, the two parties are already close, and Gu Haitao and Jiang Qiuyan are both talking about marriage, and thinking that Han Zhiyuan's old couple should enjoy a little excitement for a year when they are deserted, Huo Qianli didn't stiffen In order to stay in the town, the whole family simply lived in Gu's house.

What's even more different this year is that the boss of the Gu family also brought his wife back.

His native Jingcheng daughter-in-law was somewhat condescending when she first married the boss of the Gu family. In recent years, with the rapid expansion of the Gu family's economic strength, her attitude has become less pretentious and more sincere. respect.

She had never followed Boss Gu back to the village to celebrate the New Year before, and she was quite shocked when she saw the reality of Hushan Village, the street lamps, the small courtyard and the large industrial park. Everyone made it up, and my heart actually felt a little more proud.

When she knew the identities of Han Zhiyuan, Cheng Suqing, Jiang Qingyue, Huo Qianli, Jiang Qiuyan and others, the little pride that remained was instantly crushed to pieces. , well-behaved and virtuous.

Similar to the last time he came to Hushan Village for the Chinese New Year, Han Zhiyuan still liked to walk around the village with his hands behind his back when he was free, and chatted with Cheng Suqing.

This time there is an extra Gu Daqiang who "does nothing".

Many villagers recognized Cadre Huo's "godfather" and greeted him warmly with cigarettes.

Seeing that the old man who could only puff on tobacco leaves can now afford a pack of cigarettes that cost a few yuan and ten yuan, Han Zhiyuan, who knows little things, is smiling and feels even more fulfilled in his heart.

If there is any regret, it is that some old faces I met a few years ago have returned to dust after all, and there is no possibility of seeing them again.

But Han Zhiyuan is an open-minded person, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, and the sadness will pass soon.

Now that the village is all living together, everyone lives more lively than before. Whenever Han Zhiyuan and Cheng Suqing sit down at the house, the neighbors on the left and right will come here after hearing the news. Full of sense of accomplishment and pride, the old man was fascinated by the smoky wind of early spring.

It is true that Han Zhiyuan and his wife are respected, and it is not a problem for the two sisters Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Qiuyan to be flattered and complimented by everyone along with Jiang's mother.

But if you want to say who is really loved by thousands of people, it is the "young master" of Huo Qianli's family.

Among other things, just on the first day of appearance, the red envelopes were so full that they couldn't fit them, but according to the local customs, this had to be accepted.

Huo Qianli was so frightened that he called Secretary Jin in the county and made a brief report first. If he couldn't go back for the New Year, he had to write a report and report to the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

If this is targeted by someone with a heart, not to mention that he himself will suffer, it will be difficult for Qianfu Town to straighten out the situation.

The little guy is actually very smart. After spending a day or two seeing everyone let him go, he became more courageous. He almost became a little devil in the village. He dared to chase chickens and ducks around with a wooden stick. The combat power is amazing.

But in front of the big white goose who was at the pinnacle of military power in the whole village, he was still deflated. He was frightened by the scene of the other party rushing over with its long neck and flapping wings.

The happy time is always short. After the grand reunion, everyone will go their separate ways.

The night before leaving, several men drank some wine, sat in the newly built sun room on the top floor of Gu's house, drank tea, and looked at the lights of every house outside through the glass.

Han Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression blurred, and he said with emotion, "Last time I came here, many people still live in earth-embryo houses, and the cracks on the walls are as big as fists. In five years, this is the epitome of our country's development." !"

The boss of the Gu family read softly: "There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, which shelters the world's poor and happy people!"

Gu Haitao chuckled, "What's the matter, if it wasn't for Brother Qianli and the old man going out for a few years, Murakami would have been able to live like this a few years ago."

Han Zhiyuan reached out to touch the cigarette box, Gu Daqiang had already taken out the cigarette quickly and handed it over, and offered to help light it up, Han Zhiyuan looked at Huo Qianli, "The organizational system has a lower limit of guarantee, even the current governance still cannot get rid of one Rule of man, excellent rulers are the key to raising the upper limit."

This was a small analysis following Gu Haitao's words, but Huo Qianli listened thoughtfully.

Gu Daqiang nodded, "Brother Han is right. Look at the town, the people are still those people, and the things are still the same. But now that Brother Huo is here, the situation will be different."

Han Zhiyuan lowered his eyelids and flicked the cigarette ash lightly, "But Qianli will be transferred after all."

Gu Daqiang's expression froze, the boss of the Gu family pursed his lips and thought, Gu Haitao let out a hey, "Let's just go, Brother Qianli doesn't owe anyone anything, it's already very interesting to be able to lead everyone to do this!"

After a moment of silence, Huo Qianli looked up at Han Zhiyuan, "Teacher, you mean, let me start to establish some institutional and regular things, so as to prevent the situation from collapsing again in the future."

Han Zhiyuan nodded, "At least keep the lower limit."

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

Gu Haitao felt a little stuffy, got up and opened the door of the conservatory, the cold wind poured in from the opening in an instant, in this new year of Vientiane renewal, the chill still remained, as if it had never left.

Han Zhiyuan took Cheng Suqing and left Hushan Village, leaving behind that worry that seemed quite inappropriate to outsiders.

Huo Qianli was also with him.

Jiang Qingyue drove another car, carrying Jiang's mother and Jiang Qiuyan, and then brought her son back to Jincheng.

Gu Haitao wanted to follow with a stern face, but Jiang Qiuyan kicked him back with a smile, telling him to show his filial piety in front of his parents.

"Qianli, do you think what the teacher said last night was a little out of date?"

Han Zhiyuan sat in the back seat and spoke with a smile.

Huo Qianli smiled, "There will be a big move in the town next time. The timing is just right. Make some arrangements in advance. It will be troublesome if you want to move after it's settled."

Han Zhiyuan didn't say a word, Huo Qianli continued: "What's more, teacher, you are clearly talking about me, but you are actually reminding Brother Gu."

Han Zhiyuan laughed, and turned to look at Cheng Suqing, "The apprentice has graduated, and I have nothing to teach now!"

Cheng Suqing looked at Huo Qianli's side face fondly and with satisfaction, and then pretended to be contemptuous: "Qianli has been a teacher for a long time, and you are the only old man who is still here to rely on the old and sell the old, so that you can be a teacher!"

Huo Qianli smiled slightly, glanced at the old couple in the rearview mirror, did not speak, and carefully felt the warmth rising in his heart.

When they arrived in Jincheng, it was naturally another toss.

Clean up the room, change clothes, prepare meals, and the whole day passes in a busy way.

Early the next morning, Han Zhiyuan and Huo Qianli went to Professor He's home with the prepared local products and Danshen nutrition.

Walking on the road, Han Zhiyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Do you still remember that one year you went to Lao He's house to pay New Year's greetings and brought him some souvenirs?"

Huo Qianli thought for a while, "Well, that was when I was working in Hushan Village, and I didn't have much money at that time. Before the industrial park in Hushan Village was up, I got some soil salvia and so on. The professor isn't here yet."

"Well, it was his son who received you at that time." Han Zhiyuan paused for a moment, "His son didn't like your little things, so he threw them into the trash can."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Huo Qianli, seeing a sluggish look on his face, he immediately laughed at himself and returned to normal.

"Later, Lao He pointed at his son's nose and scolded him severely. His son also got up and packed his luggage and left."

Han Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed with emotion, "You said that we old men have struggled for half our lives to get out of the mud, and finally we can give future generations a bit of a good life, but the future generations feel that we are born to be superior and don't understand the sufferings of the people. , He even forgot his roots, and even looked down on the land and people that gave birth to him."

He let out a long sigh, "No wonder it is said that the brilliance of a gentleman is cut off for five generations, and this is only one generation."

Huo Qianli took a look at the loneliness on Han Zhiyuan's face, and understood that he was feeling emotional. He thought of his daughter, thought for a while and smiled, "Is the teacher teaching me again?"

Han Zhiyuan smiled, "That son of yours is already the king in the village, so there's no need for him."

The two laughed together, and then Han Zhiyuan continued: "Speaking of which, it is good for him to go to the countryside more, get in touch with the masses of the people, and learn about the world."

Huo Qianli hummed, "OK."

When he arrived at Professor He's house, Huo Qianli saw Professor He's son again. He didn't show any displeasure, and pretended he didn't know anything about it. He sat and rested at Professor He's house, and chatted for a while. The professor's family left after enthusiastic persuasion.

In the next two or three days, Huo Qianli would spend a lot of New Year's greetings. He brought two trunks full of gifts from Hushan Village and gave them a lot of money.

The seventh day of the first lunar month, the last day of the holiday.

Huo Qianli finally invited a long-overdue meal at noon.

Xia Wanqing, Mr. Sun, Mr. Qiu, and Yuan Xiangling.

When I was looking for investment everywhere, I also asked these few people for help, and they all did their best to help. Although it was unsuccessful, according to Huo Qianli's logic of "asking for help and doing things is the most important thing", now I have to thank them very much .

When you arrive at the place, send the New Year's greetings prepared in advance. Although people don't care about money, there must be something in etiquette.

After exchanging pleasantries, they all sat down, and everyone laughed and chatted about the past stories, the current development of the industrial park, and the future situation of the parent-child research base.

Huo Qianli knew what the other party was worried about, and said with a smile: "Bosses, I am not as big as your family, and I don't have any gifts to thank you this time. Apart from this small gift, I have prepared two other things for you. Congratulations on the New Year."

"The first one is a platinum card for the future parent-child research base that the town committee decided to give to all business owners in the Danshen Industrial Park. It is a real-name system, unlimited times a year, and free food and lodging. But the base has not yet been completed. Naturally, I haven't done it yet, so I'm allowed to sell a blank check first."

"Secondly, the Danshen Industrial Park, as the development achievement of our Qianfu Town, still undertakes the task of stabilizing the basic economic development of the whole town. From the county committee to our town committee, they will continue to pay more attention to it and strive for a new The quality and output of salvia miltiorrhiza will be raised to a higher level in [-], which will bring the company's benefits to a higher level."

The two "gifts" seemed empty, but they actually settled everyone's hearts.

For these business owners, what they worry about is nothing more than "new people" replacing "old people". Dongjiang County and Qianfu Town only focus on new projects, and all kinds of policies and management of the industrial park are abandoned. Investment may be in vain.

Just when everyone was satisfied and ready to toast, Yuan Xiangling muttered, "Who would believe it!"

Mr. Sun and Mr. Qiu's expressions froze, Xia Wanqing immediately glared at her, "What are you talking about! I don't even look at the occasion."

Yuan Xiangling snorted, "That's what it is! He said to help me think about the company's development, but the branch company has been established in Hushan Village for several months, and there is still no movement!"

"It's so easy for your technology company to find a solution!" Xia Wanqing was helpless, "Secretary Huo has to manage such a big stall, it's normal not to take care of it for a while!"

"This matter is indeed my mistake." Huo Qianli took over the conversation with a smile, first nodded gratefully to Xia Wanqing, then looked at Yuan Xiangling, "Mr. I'll think about it when I go back, and try to combine the strength of Lingxiang Medical Technology with the work of our Qianfu Town Industrial Park as soon as possible, and at least have a plan within a month, how about it?"

"It's not too bad!" The angry Yuan Xiangling's face instantly became happy, as if the unhappiness just now was an illusion, he raised his cup and smiled sweetly, "I knew that Secretary Huo would not treat me badly, come to Secretary Huo I offer you a toast! One month as agreed! This time, I can't be foolish!"

Huo Qianli said in embarrassment: "Yes, yes, it must be not bad!"

Seeing this scene, Mr. Sun and Mr. Qiu looked at each other and suddenly smiled, "I'm old! I can't keep up with the times!"
