Div class="DivMargin" After the matter of Secretary Lao Tu was solved, the recruitment matter became the second priority. Secretary Lao Tu had a high prestige in Pingan Town, so the recruitment work was easy to carry out.
Because he almost knew the specific situation of each family, Tang Lin was dumbfounded. This kind of thing not only requires time and experience, but also requires passion for work and perseverance.
He couldn't say anything more, but secretly made up his mind to learn more from Secretary Lao Tu in the future.
Lao Tu left them to eat in the town canteen. The Ping'an Town Government covers a large area. The main building is a two-story building, which is relatively old, but there are four bungalows built in a zigzag shape next to it. Although it does not look conspicuous, it is very practical.
Offices, activity centers, garages, warehouses, etc. are all available. The yard is entirely made of cement and there is a standard basketball court with a very new basketball stand that seems to have been donated by an outside unit.
The weather was very hot, and it was uncomfortable for people who were exposed to the sun. However, there were a bunch of shirtless boys playing basketball on the basketball court with happy smiles on their faces. No one was trying to drive them away. It seemed like this place was usually open to the public.
. This must be the work of Secretary Lao Tu. Tang Lin likes this place very much, especially because there is a river outside the town government yard. It is a very rare river. Tang Lin confirmed that it is not a tributary, but an unknown mountain river.
Speaking of this small river, Secretary Lao Tu immediately became energetic, "This river is called Ping'an River, and people in the town also call it the Life-Saving River. You see, it is so dry this year, but there is still water in the river. It's a pity that the area of Ping'an Town is
It’s too big, and the source of this Ping An River is Xiaoyan Mountain two kilometers above. It is the mountain spring water on Xiaoyan Mountain.
, has been flowing continuously for many years. However, the total distance from Xiaoyanshan to Zhaojiatun is less than 3 kilometers, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby. However, because of this Ping An River, the number of male children in several nearby villages is better than other families.
The place is easy to marry, and the woman heard that it is by the Ping An River, so the gift money is very small."
Wu Zhong also interjected, "This river is actually also called Laotu River, because my uncle has been patrolling the river every day for decades. This river can be directly used as drinking water, so whoever dares to destroy pollution
He is the first to not let go of the river water. Water here is gold, so there are always people upstream who will block the river for personal gain. Let's put it this way, my old uncle is in this river, and my old uncle's life is short when he walks in this river.
It’s not a good time.”
Tang Lin was once again greatly shocked, "I didn't expect there to be such a story here, so the old secretary asked me to ensure that everyone has water to drink, right? But the old secretary didn't hand over this river to me, right?"
Don't worry about me?"
Lao Tu likes to drink a few sips, and he also drinks while working, but he never drinks too much. Strictly speaking, this is against discipline, but no one in Ping'an Town thinks it is a bad thing. If Secretary Lao Tu drinks two drinks with someone during lunch,
, that person must be quite fancy to him.
Tang Lin also knew this rule, because Wu Zhong told him on the way here, if my old uncle drinks with you, you must drink a little, because he believes in you and values you. If you don't drink, nothing will happen to you.
It can't be done.
So Tang Lin raised his glass, and Lao Tu touched him lightly, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, "If you are free, I will take you on a river cruise in a while. I have said it a few years ago, whoever succeeds me
You must patrol the river like me every day."
Lao Tu's method is ancient and traditional, but it is an extremely rare inheritance. Tang Lin himself is also a temperamental person. What he saw in Pingan Town was poverty, but it was quiet and peaceful here, unlike the earth-colored faces in other towns.
It is full of exhaustion, despair, pain and contradiction. The people here also look bad, but their eyes show a kind of relative contentment and satisfaction.
One-fifth of the Shangtang Development Zone is located in Ping'an Town, so Ping'an Town is not far from the county seat. However, if it rains in Shangtang County, there will be no rain here. This is a very helpless and desperate place.
"Okay, I'll follow the old secretary to see this life-saving river."
Old Tu didn't have a special expression. He didn't refuse Tang Lin's offer to pour him a drink. He just squinted at it and then made another request, "I heard that there are more quotas for girls in the recruitment this time. Plus, I said you have more."
The 20 places for Ping'an Town are 35 in total. Can there be 15 girls here?"
"Boys are valued over girls in rural areas, and all the capable boys have gone out. There are many girls left. Most of them live in such a muddle-headed way that they find someone to marry and then continue to be poor. If you could give 15 girls to Ping'an Town,
If you have a quota of soldiers, then you will be a noble person in Ping'an Town, and everyone will recognize you."
Tang Lin did not answer directly after hearing this. He twirled the wine glass in his hand with his fingers. There were not many people eating in the town government cafeteria, but their table was obviously the focus of everyone's eyes. There are no private rooms or extra dishes here. Today's meal is strictly speaking
It was Secretary Lao Tu who was treating us, and Tang Lin saw with his own eyes the meal ticket he gave us.
Others don't know who he is, but they definitely know who Wu Zhong is. Wu Zhong must be calm and composed. He was also born in Ping'an Town.
Tang Lin thought for a while, "I won't say anything about fair distribution. Since I want to come to Ping'an Town, I have to bring something practical. I don't like talking, I prefer doing. There are no quotas for these 15 female soldiers.
If you have any questions, I can coordinate them."
In fact, Tang Lin has to bear a lot of pressure on this matter. Now the issue of poverty alleviation and military recruitment has spread throughout the Shang and Tang Dynasties, especially the increase in the number of female soldiers, and everyone is rushing to tell each other. What Secretary Lao Tu said is true.
The situation is that most of the people here favor boys over girls. The opportunity to go to school is also given to boys. Girls can go to high school at best, but generally they can go to junior high school.
This is the reality, and there is a long way to go to change it. So this time, the soldier became a path, and the poor families were naturally very happy, thinking that a savior and a noble person had come. Families with good conditions also thought this was an opportunity, and tried their best to win.
Try your best to get this spot
.In fact, Lao Tu himself was unsure when he said this. He learned about Tang Lin's current situation through Wu Zhong, but in previous years, there were no quotas for 15 female soldiers in a county, only seven or eight, which was still considered too much.
Yes, some years there is no quota for female soldiers at all.
So he was very excited after hearing this, and his eyes shone with a light that was far younger than his age. "No matter what you are doing, kid, I at least admire your courage and courage. I don't care whether you are airborne or relying on connections, as long as you give this
Once the common people in this land and water do practical things, I will recognize you as the new secretary."
Tang Lin was a little uncomfortable with Lao Tu's excitement and praise. In fact, needless to say, even Wu Zhong was uncomfortable because he, as an old uncle, had always been very complimentary and rarely drank with young people he met for the first time.
Not to mention Tang Lin, one year a deputy mayor came and wanted to have a drink with Lao Tu, but Lao Tu ignored him and turned around and left. He has always had such a personality, or in other words, backbone.
"Old secretary, this is all within the scope of my responsibilities. I don't dare to say thank you. Some time ago, the city's deputy mayor Huang stayed in Shangtang. She brought back a lot of first-hand information. After reading it, I felt shocked and felt that I should do something
There are too many things, too many. People say that every family has a treasure, and our grassroots needs role models like the old secretary so much."
