Liu Sisi stood straight in front of Li Yuanlang and bowed deeply to him.

Li Yuanlang was stunned, and he quickly reached out to help him, and asked: "Reporter Liu, what are you..."

"County Magistrate Li, you saved me that night, and I haven't formally thanked you yet."

It turned out that Liu Sisi had always been thinking about this matter, but had never had a chance to express it.

Only when I was alone with Li Yuanlang could I sincerely thank him.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing." Li Yuanlang explained.

"Alas!" Liu Sisi sighed quietly, "Thanks for your help, otherwise I wouldn't dare to even think about it."

"It's not safe for you to walk alone at night. You should be careful in the future." Li Yuanlang kindly reminded: "If this happens again, you can ask your family or boyfriend to pick you up."

"He?" Liu Sisi smiled bitterly: "He only knows how to play games. Games are not as important to me, so I can't count on him."

"So, he...is not good to you?"

Liu Sisi said bitterly: "It used to be good. Ever since he lost his job and was obsessed with playing games all day long, he focused entirely on games and spent less time talking to me."

"You can continue to look for a job if you are unemployed. It is not an embarrassing thing to be unemployed now. Staying at home every day will wear away your enterprising spirit."

"I said the same thing to him, but he couldn't listen, and said that he would make money playing games to support me in the future." Liu Sisi shook her head helplessly: "I won't mention him anymore, I'm upset."

And asked Li Yuanlang, "Senior, what does your wife do? Is she also a cadre in the county?"

"She works at the Provincial Youth League Committee, but is on maternity leave now."

"Oh." Liu Sisi asked thoughtfully, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"The boy is only more than three months old." The mention of his son immediately aroused Li Yuanlang's thoughts about his son. Unfortunately, the Internet in Duoshan Township is not good, so he can no longer see the cute babbling of the little guy.

"I can feel that you must be a good husband and father at home." Liu Sisi blinked and looked at Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang shook his head, "You guessed it wrong. I work outside the home, and my wife takes care of everything at home. I can't help at all."

"Your home is not in Daiding County?"

"In Yunyang, the provincial capital."

When Liu Sisi heard this, she grabbed Li Yuanlang's arms, shook them, and said excitedly: "Oh, in that case, we are still fellow villagers."

"Oh? Your family is also in the provincial capital."

"Yes." Liu Sisi nodded repeatedly, "When I see my fellow countryman, my eyes well up with tears."

Li Yuanlang joked, "It's best not to burst into tears. It's cold in winter and it's easy to freeze your tears."

Liu Sisi realized that she was holding on to Li Yuanlang tightly, and quickly let go, and asked: "I have always been curious about how the life of you leaders is different from that of us ordinary people. Do you have no worries and are happy all day long?"

This sentence made Li Yuanlang suddenly realize something.

"We are human beings too, and we cannot do without food, clothing, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil and salt every day. When I go home, I have to cook and do housework, chat with my wife and take care of the children."

Li Yuanlang was deeply moved and said: "Reporter Liu, what you said makes me feel uncomfortable. It shows that there has been a great distance and estrangement between our cadres and the masses."

"It was great in the past. There were frequent exchanges between cadres and the masses. At that time, we often talked about relying on the masses, and in fact we did so. But now, as life has improved, this relationship has been infinitely expanded."

"It is not a good phenomenon that the masses are strangers to cadres. We often say that cadres are fish and the masses are water. Fish cannot live without the nourishment of water, and water is the foundation of fish."

"We now have many cadres who are aloof, lock themselves in their offices, do not understand the sufferings of the people, do not listen to the voices of the people, turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window, and only think about their own affairs."

"This phenomenon is unacceptable and very dangerous. What did we rely on to defeat the feudal dynasty that was armed to the teeth? We relied on the support of the masses. Without the masses, there would be no new society and new country of ours, and there would be no prosperity today.

Wealthy and powerful.”

After saying so much in one breath, Li Yuanlang finally concluded: "However, this phenomenon has attracted the attention of the above, and there will be compensation in this regard. I believe that as long as we can regain mutual trust and shorten the distance between each other, our country

The country will definitely get better, and it will definitely get better and better."

Li Yuanlang's words made Liu Sisi intoxicated.

She never imagined that a county magistrate would care about the country and think so far.

After bidding farewell to Li Yuanlang and returning to the room, Liu Sisi immediately opened her laptop.

Although there was no Internet, she couldn't help but start typing on the keyboard and wrote a line of large-character headlines: Interview Notes - An Official I Know.

She did not mention Li Yuanlang's name or position directly, but wrote about several things she encountered throughout the day from the perspective of a bystander.

Punishing village officials, severely punishing township party committee secretaries, and Li Yuanlang’s emotional words among cadres and masses.

There is never a pause in the middle, and the more I write, the more inspired I become.

When she finished writing more than two thousand words and typed the last punctuation mark, Liu Sisi reviewed it from beginning to end, correcting sentences and typos, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Saved on the hard drive, Liu Sisi thought about finding a website to publish it after she went back. If for no other reason than to have a good leader like Li Yuanlang, she deserved it.

After a night of silence, Li Yuanlang and his party had breakfast the next day and, accompanied by Wu Chengguang and others, visited Duoshan Township and a village below.

The situation is the same as in other villages. There are no people in the village. Most of them are left-behind elderly people. Less than half of them are left behind. It is very common for people to leave the houses and leave them empty.

Li Yuanlang did not stay too long in Duoshan Township. He left before lunch and rushed to his next destination, Fusha Town.

As the name suggests, the biggest feature of Fusha Town is the abundance of sand.

Moreover, the sand here contains gold, and the gold content ratio is particularly high.

Under normal circumstances, one ton of refined sand can contain no more than 25 grams at most. But the sand in Fusha Town contains as much as 31 grams.

Don’t underestimate it. It’s only an extra six grams. It can’t handle the amount of sand.

After exploration, it was found that there were hundreds of thousands of cubic meters on both sides of the river bed in Fusha Town, which was a considerable fortune.

I think back then, Fusha Town only relied on gold mining, which produced many nouveau riche and made the town rich and wealthy.

However, later, due to excessive mining, the entire riverbed was cut down, affecting downstream domestic water use and farmland irrigation.

More importantly, when the flood season comes, it will lead to an increase in dangerous sections and affect flood control.

Therefore, the superior authorities immediately ordered that all gold mining enterprises in Fusha Town cease production and be closed indefinitely.

In a flash, nearly ten years have passed since this ban.

Today's Fusha Town is about to become a "poor sand town" due to the lack of this profitable industry.

Feng Lingxue, secretary of the town party committee, is a female cadre under forty years old. She has short hair and is of medium height. She is neither fat nor thin. Her appearance is not beautiful, but she is very good-looking.

The mayor, Zhang Jian, is thirty-nine years old and tall, a few centimeters taller than Li Yuanlang, who is 1.8 meters tall.

After meeting the main party and government leaders of Fusha Town, Feng Lingxue was sitting in the town's small conference room and said first: "Welcome County Magistrate Li, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang and all the leaders to our Fusha Town."

After that, she paused deliberately and looked directly at Li Yuanlang, "County Magistrate Li, I have a problem with you."

When Li Yuanlang heard this, he couldn't help but smile. The opening remarks of this female secretary were quite unique. Others complimented her, but she did the opposite and went straight to find fault with the county magistrate.

"Tell me, Secretary Feng, what do you think of me?"

Feng Lingxue pointed out unceremoniously, "Yunshui Daqu Distillery was originally going to build a branch in our Fusha Town, and all the contract details have been finalized. Just because of your suggestion, they decided not to come and wanted to go to Guang'an Town.

In government cooperation, both parties jointly invest and operate the branch factory in partnership."

"County Magistrate Li, Guang'an Town and Fusha Town are both under the leadership of the county committee and the county government. You can't favor one over the other and divide them into three, six or nine levels. I can't figure it out, and neither can our town party committee or the town government."

After speaking, she also looked at the mayor Zhang Jian sitting next to her.

Zhang Jian immediately took over the conversation, and said with trembling lips: "Li, County Magistrate Li, Feng, Secretary Feng said, yes, none of us can, can't figure it out."

This guy, what the mayor said made Li Yuanlang feel like he couldn't breathe after listening to it.
Chapter completed!
