Yu Fan knew that the road to Yeshan Township was difficult, but he did not expect it to be so difficult. This was his first time as a county leader to investigate the following towns. He had accompanied Yao Wenming when he was in Xinyang City before. I went to visit my hometown, but I was an accompanying person at that time, but this time he was the protagonist, and I felt a little emotional for a while.
This time when Yu Fan went to the countryside, the county party committee office specially sent a deputy director to accompany him. This man was called Kang Yuan. He looked like he was in his thirties. He was not very old, but the hair on his head had begun to become thinner. Support the central look.
When the car drove to the boundary of Yeshan Township, there were a lot of people standing there to greet them at the intersection. If it was normal, Yu Fan would be very happy. After all, this was the first time he came down here after coming to Dapu County, but after what happened yesterday From now on, he has no intention of doing this with them anymore.
Wang Jianlin asked Wang Jianlin to park the car in front of this group of people. Yu Fan did not get out of the car. He opened the window and glanced at Cui Minghan, the leader of Yeshan Township Secretary, and said: "Secretary Cui, I won't go to the township. You take us there." Let’s go to Niujiao Village and see how the school is doing there.”
Cui Minghan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Okay, Secretary Yu, I will lead you from the front." After saying that, he turned around and got into a jeep in front of him. This was the only car in the entire township. , the others didn't know what happened for a moment, why didn't Deputy Secretary Yu get out of the car when he came? Cui Minghan didn't care about the others, he just asked them to go back to the village first, and he invited the township chief Huang Lin to come with him. Got the jeep.
The road ahead was getting harder and harder, and the bumps and bumps made Yu Fan's stomach churn. Others were also feeling very uncomfortable. Kang Yuan and Gao Yang were even more pale. Although Wang Jianlin sent Bi Jun here yesterday, I was passing through Yeshan Township but I had never been here before. Seeing that everyone was not looking very good, I also slowed down to the slowest speed.
After driving like this for more than half an hour, the car in front also stopped. Cui Minghan and Huang Lin also got out of the car and walked over. When they saw Yu Fan walking down with a bad expression, they hurriedly stepped forward and said apologetically: " Secretary Yu, this road is really difficult to walk, and you will be tired,"
After a bumpy ride, Yu Fan's face became very ugly. He glared at him and said: "Since you know that the roads are difficult to walk, why don't you organize people to build roads, level and widen these roads? There should be no need for the county to Let’s use the funds in it,” he said with a cold snort.
"Secretary Yu, it's because we didn't do our job well. We will definitely organize the villagers to repair the roads after we return." Seeing that the tone of Yu Fan's words was wrong, the township leader Huang Lin also admitted his mistake very sincerely.
Yu Fan didn't have time to talk nonsense with them. After a trip to Yeshan Township, he finally realized how poor the township was. Although Yu Fan didn't get out of the car, he saw in the car that these staff members of the township government, Including Cui Minghan and Huang Lin, everyone was dressed very simply. Although they did not have patches on their bodies like Bi Jun, but from the slightly gray color of their clothes, he already understood how poor this township was.
If the government officials of a township are like this, you can imagine how poor the people in the township must be. It is impossible to corrupt them. If they want to be corrupt, they have no place to corrupt. But it is this kind of people who are in their positions and do not seek to govern. Their inaction made Yu Fan even more indignant. They didn't even lead the people to level and repair the roads in the village. This shows the extent of their inaction. Is it because they are poor that they don't want to make progress? He I would rather these people be more greedy and do more good things for the people, so that at least the people's lives will be easier.
After glancing at the two of them, Yu Fan said coldly: "Have we reached Niujiao Village here?" Yu Fan's attitude also made the two of them seem a little nervous. His identity is the deputy secretary of the county party committee. This is the largest person he has ever been to in Yeshan Township. The official.
Hearing Yu Fan's question, Cui Minghan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Secretary Yu, this is still a bit far away from Niujiao Village. The road vehicles in front of it can't get in. You can only walk in with two legs." In fact, he also felt the same in his heart. I felt a little aggrieved. Who would have thought that Yu Fan didn't even get out of the car and went straight to Niujiao Village. The township had also received a deputy county magistrate before, but after he came, he didn't even feel hot, and he just walked around the township government. Turn around, turn around and leave.
Sighing, Yu Fan shook his head and said: "Okay, don't say anything. Just lead the way. It doesn't matter if you walk a few steps. Sitting in the car is simply a pain." To be honest, even if there is a road ahead , Yu Fan didn’t want to ride in a car anymore. If he kept going like this, he would be in shock even if he wasn’t injured.
The area around Niujiao Village is already considered a mountainous area, and the mountain roads are not very high, just high slopes. The road to Niujiao Village is indeed not open to traffic. There is only a path more than one meter wide, with undulating hills in the distance. The high hills are interspersed with jade-green grassland. Now is the time when the vegetation is abundant. When the wind blows, the grassland undulates like waves. It is such a green ocean. Seeing this green, Yu Fan's mood It's also much better.
"Secretary Yu, the environment here is really good. In the city, such a good place is rare." Seeing the rolling grassland here, Gao Yang also began to like it, although the bumps along the way almost made him fall in love with it. His internal organs turned upside down.
"Haha, Secretary Gao is right. The scenery here is really good. In the past, the mountains here were full of woods. Later, the trees were cut down by the surrounding people to build houses or sold, and the place became what it is now. "Yu Fan's expression improved, and Cui Minghan dared to step forward boldly.
"How long does it take to get to Niujiao Village?" Yu Fan asked without looking at him, just looking at the road ahead.
"It's not far ahead, Secretary Yu. Look at the peak that looks a bit like a horn in front of you. Niujiao Village is at the foot of that mountain," Cui Minghan also said loudly, pointing to a peak at the end of the road.
Although the peak looked very close, it still took a group of people more than half an hour to walk. Niujiao Village is at the foot of the peak. It looks like a depression. The farmhouses in the village are all close together and messy. And disorderly, the mountain road passes through the village, and the farmhouses on both sides are low and dilapidated. Most of them are mud houses, and the better ones are just blue brick houses. Everything you look at is barren and backward. The village's People gathered in twos and threes at the entrance of the village. When they saw their arrival, they pointed and looked very curious.
"Do you know where the original primary school in Niujiao Village is?" Yu Fan didn't talk nonsense with Cui Minghan and asked him directly as soon as he entered the village.
Although Cui Minghan was very curious about how Secretary Yu knew that there was a primary school in Niujiao Village, he still did not dare to lead him to the high slope behind the village. There was nothing on the high slope, only some collapsed earth walls and some The thatch is still piled inside, and next to the earthen wall is a small pile of lime. It has obviously been transported not long ago, and the steam is still steaming, which is very pungent.
Obviously Bi Jun did not listen to Yu Fan's words after he came back, and still wanted to build the school first. Yu Fan and others went up to Gaopo and heard the crisp sound of reading. In an open space on Gaopo, forty or fifty people Children of different ages are reciting the text with the teacher, but the teacher is not much older than them.
"These are children from nearby villages. Some of the children's villages are in distant mountains, far away from here, so they have to get up before dawn every day and can only return home after dark, even though the school is in heavy snow. It has collapsed, but these children will still walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads every day to come here. For them, this is their hope, and for us, if our next generation no longer has culture, what will happen to our villages? It's really all over." Bi Jun walked up to Yu Fan at some point, looking at these children with tearful eyes and looking a little excited.
Yu Fan also looked at Bi Jun with a somewhat complicated look. For him, he admired Bi Jun from the bottom of his heart for a person who was full of righteousness. He asked himself that he could not go back and forth like him for more than fifty times. The reason why he went to the county to beg his grandfather and grandma was just for a school, but as the deputy secretary of the county, he did not really appreciate Bi Jun's behavior.
Yu Fan didn't want to disturb the children's school, so he led Bi Jun and others to the other side of the high slope. Before Yu Fan could sit on the grass, Bi Jun first spoke apologetically: "Secretary Yu, I thank you for these things." I would like to thank you on behalf of the children for their help. I also want to admit my mistake. I did not follow your instructions and have already started to rebuild a new primary school. Secretary Yu, these children really need a classroom. , every time it rains, they can’t study outside at all,”
Yu Fan sighed and waved for the others to sit down. He really didn't have the right to blame Bi Jun. He couldn't bear to blame Bi Jun for such a person. However, there were some things that he really didn't want to say today, "Bi Jun." Deputy Township Head, I should actually apologize to you. I didn’t understand the actual situation here, so I told you not to start school. For this, I want to apologize to you,"
Bi Jun's face was anxious and he was about to speak, but Yu Fan raised his hand to stop him and said: "Listen to what I have to say. Although I respect what you have done for these children, it does not mean that I agree with your behavior." Seeing that Bi Jun wanted to speak, Yu Fan also sighed and said: "Comrade Bi Jun, you are the deputy head of Yeshan Township, but look where you are now. As the leader of a township, what you have to care about is the overall situation of the township, but what are you doing now? You are building a school here. I would like to ask, is there no village party secretary in Niujiao Village, is there no party branch here, these You can just leave things to them, but you have to do everything yourself, which shows that you have not put your role in the position of a deputy mayor at all,"
After hearing these words, Bi Jun seemed silent for a while. Yu Fanyou continued: "Even if you did a good thing for the children, what should the children in other villages do? Have you ever thought about it? Only if you lead all the villagers in the township to become rich can these problems be fundamentally solved. Now there are only forty or fifty children going to school here. Are these the only children in the surrounding villages? I'm afraid there are more. I dare say that there are several times more children than this number who do not come to school. Why, because of poverty. Poverty forces them to choose to let their children help work at home. This is only for boys. I am afraid that girls in many families The child was married off or sold by his family very early,"
At this point, Yu Fan's mood has become very sad. It must be because of this that Liao Tao and his gang can easily carry out their dirty deeds. They don't need abductors at all, they only need to spend a little money.
