Chapter 787 The little village chief has seen the big leader
Dong Yuanzhong enjoyed this time very much.
Unfortunately, not everyone can steal half a day's leisure.
For example, Dong Yuanzhong, he couldn't do it.
I have a meeting in the afternoon, so there is really nothing I can do about it.
It's not easy to spare a few hours today to come over and see my eldest brother's great-grandson.
"I still have something to do, brother, so I can't stay and talk to you for more."
Dong Yuanzhong always respected Grandpa Su, his eldest brother.
He indeed treats Grandpa Su as his own brother.
"I know you are busy. Come over here when you are free and ask your sister-in-law to prepare delicious food for you."
Dong Yuanzhong smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll come over when I have time."
Before leaving, Dong Yuanzhong remembered that Grandpa Su said that among the guests coming today, there was also a village cadre from his hometown, so he sat down again.
"Brother, I remembered. You said that there is a village chief who is coming from his hometown today. Please invite him over and let me ask a few questions."
It was rare to see a cadre from the lowest level, so Dong Yuanzhong felt that it was necessary to say a few words.
What these people say may be the most authentic voices from the grassroots.
As for the reports submitted from one level to another, they may all be exaggerated.
"Xiaotian, ask your uncle to come here." Grandpa Su called.
When Su Xiaotian heard Grandpa Su calling her to go over to invite someone, she quickly looked for Su Changjiu in the hall.
Because Dong Yuanzhong and others were there, the only people at the table were Grandpa Su, Grandma Su, and Shen Zizhen and Su Taohua.
The rest of the people were placed in the hall outside.
Su Changjiu was sitting in a corner, sitting with Li Zhuzhu and a few others. Su Xiaotian quickly found him.
"Uncle Jiujiu, grandpa asked me to come over and invite you over."
Su Jiujiu only knew that the people who came today were either rich or noble. Although the people in the box did not know who they were, they must be real noble people.
When Su Xiaotian invited him over, Su Jiujiu was still confused.
"Xiaotian, what's going on?" Su Changjiu asked slightly anxiously.
"Someone wants to talk to Uncle Jiujiu, nothing more."
Su Xiaotian didn't know whether Dong Yuanzhong's identity could be known to Su Jiujiu.
But in the end, I decided not to say anything and just said something vaguely.
At Dong Yuanzhong's level, he would be watched carefully at every turn. At this moment, there were many people guarding the outside of Yiming Pavilion carefully.
There were people guarding even outside the box, keeping an eye on every move in the box.
Therefore, the people who came to serve food in the private room today were all members of the Su family, not even the waiters.
Su Jiujiu knew that he couldn't ask, so he stopped asking.
Anyway, you can see it when you get to the box.
He followed Su Xiaotian to the box.
Dong Yuanzhong took a look at Su Changjiu. Although his clothes were not brand new, they were clean and well-dressed.
Moreover, Su Changjiu looked honest and honest.
Dong Yuanzhong smiled and asked: "I heard that you are from Nanling Village? Village Chief Su, right?"
"Hello, my name is Su Changjiu, the village chief of Nanling Village."
The visitor did not introduce himself, but even though he spoke Mandarin, there was a hint of hometown flavor in his words, which made Su Changjiu feel much more friendly.
However, he could not recall anyone nearby who was an official in the capital.
"I have nothing else to do with you. I just want to ask how the situation in the village is now."
Perhaps sensing something, Dong Yuanzhong smiled and invited Su Changjiu to sit down and talk.
After Su Changjiu sat down, Dong Yuanzhong said: "I am not from Nanling Village, but I passed by Nanling Village decades ago, and it was my eldest brother who saved me."
His home is not very far from Nanling Village. It is in the next county and the dialects all have the same flavor.
But because there was no one at home, he was left alone and almost starved to death. He never thought about going back to that place.
It is precisely for this reason that even people in his hometown don't know that such a big shot has come from the local area.
I heard Dong Yuanzhong say that he was saved by Grandpa Su decades ago.
Su Jiujiu probably knew who the person in front of him was.
Dong Yuanzhong was once the top leader in their province and was later transferred to the capital.
This is a well-known big shot. Unexpectedly, he would appear at the Su family's full moon banquet.
He never thought that Su Jiujiu would have the opportunity to meet such a big shot.
For a moment, Su Jiujiu was so excited that he was almost speechless.
He murmured for a while, but still didn't say a word.
Dong Yuanzhong smiled and gave him a cup of tea: "Don't be nervous, have a cup of tea and let's talk slowly."
With great difficulty, Su Jiujiu finally stabilized his mind.
"Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything!"
Finally got a chance to meet with the big boss, of course he had to answer the questions seriously.
Su Jiujiu's thoughts at this time were like a primary school student planning to answer the teacher's question.
Dong Yuanzhong asked very politely about the development situation in the village, such as the comparison before and after the household responsibility system, the current thoughts of the villagers, and what suggestions they had for the development of the village.
Su Jiujiu answered them one by one.
He was originally a very thoughtful and courageous village cadre, but when he talked about these things, he was no longer as reserved as before.
Dong Yuanzhong listened carefully and also memorized some of them.
"Let me introduce to you that this is Minister Wu from the Ministry of Agriculture, and this is Minister Chang from the Ministry of Commerce. If you have any policy concerns or anything else, you can talk to them. Maybe they can solve it.
road."
When Su Jiujiu heard that there were two ministers on this table, he almost dropped the water glass in his hand.
Dong Yuanzhong is here, Su Jiujiu is not surprised, why are there still two such big figures?
Does the Su family have such a wide network of contacts in the capital now?
Just when Su Jiujiu was still thinking about this issue, Minister Wu spoke first.
"You said before that everyone is living a good life now. Is it true or false? Can you eat white rice and noodles every day?"
As the Minister of Agriculture, Minister Wu is most concerned about the issue of food.
When it comes to the question of whether she can eat white rice and white noodles, Su has no confidence for a long time.
The conditions are good, but there is still a long way to go before we can eat white rice and noodles every day.
He didn't want to hide it from the leaders, so he shook his head: "I can't eat it every day for now, but I can have one meal of white noodles in three or four days. That's it, the villagers are satisfied."
Compared with previous years, it is indeed much better. Although I still eat mostly whole grains, I can feel full.
In fact, the requirements of the common people are not high, and they are content if they can have enough to eat.
"Nowadays, apart from the food that is given to the state and collectives, the rest is my own. I can grow whatever I want, which means I have enough food and clothing." Su Jiujiu said with emotion.
After so many years of hard times, most people are now indeed satisfied with their current lives.
