I don’t know why Jiang Tao called me at this time. After I answered the phone, I asked him: “County Magistrate Jiang, what’s wrong so early?”
"Da Shan, are you in the village today?"
I glanced at An Lan and then replied: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Well, the city leaders are coming to the village for inspection today, and you must be there then! The city leaders want to see you by name."
"Ah!?" I was suddenly surprised and glanced at An Lan subconsciously.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
I originally promised An Lan to go to Chengdu with her today, but now that this happened suddenly, I was really caught off guard.
I sighed softly and replied: "County Magistrate Jiang, does it have to be today?"
"Yes, the leaders above have already discussed it, and some leaders from the Ministry of Agriculture are coming. Do you have any plans for today?"
"Well," I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "then when will you come today?"
"It's probably afternoon. We've just agreed now that we won't leave until lunch."
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he added: "Da Shan, let me tell you, no matter what you do today, you have to wait a little bit later. This time the city leaders came down to inspect our work here. This time
You should understand that it’s related to future funds, right?”
Of course I understand, and we really need funds now, whether it is orchards or developing tourism projects, we all need money.
But I have already promised An Lan, and now I break the contract temporarily. Isn't it a bit too bad?
I had no choice but to say to Jiang Tao: "County Magistrate Jiang, can I get back to you later?"
"What's the matter with you? If there's something really important, just tell me and I'll send someone to do it for you."
"No, okay, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." With no choice but to do so, I could only agree.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at An Lan helplessly.
She immediately asked me: "Are you unable to leave?"
I nodded and said with a trace of remorse, "I'm sorry! Just now County Magistrate Jiang called suddenly and said that city leaders are coming to inspect today and I can't leave."
An Lan did not look disappointed. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's okay, I can still wait for you."
"I might not be able to leave today!"
"It's okay. I can't leave today. I'll leave tomorrow. Anyway, I want to go see the fields again."
"This won't delay you, will it?"
She shook her head and said, "No, you are the most important thing to me now."
"That's okay!"
We looked at each other and smiled, and I started making breakfast.
An Lan was standing at the door of the kitchen looking at me, with an imperceptible smile on her face.
I said to her: "Don't look at me like that! I feel very uncomfortable."
"I haven't seen you for half a year. Now let me see you for a while. What's wrong?"
"Then look at it."
After we made breakfast and ate it together, An Lan went to the fields with me again.
She really has no airs at all, and she can chat easily with the fellow villagers and is very approachable.
But just before noon, she suddenly received an urgent call, asking her to rush back to the company now.
Although I don't know why, judging from her expression, the company must have encountered some trouble.
After she answered the call, she said to me: "I can't wait to leave with you tomorrow. I have to go back now. Something happened in the company."
"What happened?" I asked her subconsciously.
She was silent for a while, then shook her head at me and said, "It's not a big deal, but I have to go back."
It seems that we really can't leave together. Something happened on my side, and something unexpected happened in her company.
I had no choice but to say to her: "Okay, you go back first, and when I'm done here, I'll fly over myself."
"Well, later I will send you the contract to build the winery here. In addition, I will also need your bank account."
I nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll send it to you via WeChat later."
An Lan left in such a hurry. I didn't know what happened in the company. Although she said it was not a big deal, I thought it was not simple, otherwise she would not be so anxious.
But I believed she could handle it, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
After An Lan left, I also started to prepare to welcome the leaders who came from the city. I don't like to do superficial work. The truth is what it is.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the city leaders and Jiang Tao and his party came to the village. There were quite a few people who came, and there was even a minibus.
Including several leaders from the county headed by Jiang Tao, it is estimated that more than twenty people came.
This was the first time that so many important people came to the village, so I hurried to receive them.
After meeting Jiang Tao, he introduced him to me.
Only then did I realize that all the top leaders from the city were here, as well as some leaders from the provincial Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, and even some leaders from other prefecture-level cities in the province.
It was the first time I saw such a big shot. Of course I was panicked. Even Jiang Tao was standing on the side.
"You are Dashan, right?" The city leader walked up to me and said with a kind smile on his face.
Jiang Tao introduced me just now, so I quickly extended my hand to him and said, "Hello, Secretary Shen, I am Dashan."
"Okay, that's great. I've heard about some of your deeds here a few days ago. Now that I've seen it, I'm really surprised!" The big leader seemed to be very imposing when he spoke, and his tone of voice was also non-hurried.
Xu's.
I sneered and said, "Secretary Shen, this is thanks to our country's current policies!"
"Okay, take me to the fields to have a look."
So I took this group of people to the fields. Along the way, I told him some of my current plans and some development plans for the future.
I told him that in addition to developing tourism, we have now signed a contract with Chengdu Yuanfeng Group to build a winery, and construction will start by the end of the year.
In addition, we will develop our own logistics base and packaging factory, and develop in the direction of new media.
Tell him emphatically that the annual income by then will be very objective, and the villagers' annual dividends will be at least 100,000 yuan.
Along the way, Secretary Shen listened carefully and asked some answers he wanted to know from time to time.
For example, when will the benefits be expected?
I told him that the profits will be seen after the first batch of fruit seedlings mature. In addition, the tourism project has actually started to generate profits now.
Passing by a field, Secretary Shen saw a villager weeding and working in the field.
So he asked the villager: "fellow, excuse me, let me ask you something. Are you a villager in this village?"
"Yes." The villager suddenly raised his head and looked at Secretary Shen.
Only then did I discover that that villager was the only one in Erping Village who had not taken out the land, and he was also one of the least optimistic about breaking the land boundary.
What a tragedy, why did he happen to meet him, and Secretary Shen happened to ask about him.
When I was getting anxious, Secretary Shen had already asked him: "What do you think of some of the changes in your village, including the land reform? Has it been of substantial help to you?"
When Secretary Shen asked this question, I panicked and even felt cold sweat starting to break out on my forehead.
It is such a coincidence that I have not met so many villagers who support my work, but I have met this person who does not support my work.
