Early in the morning, the music of "Good Days" played from the loudspeaker of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee.
The festive atmosphere was perfectly expressed through the lyrics, putting a happy smile on the faces of everyone in Caojiazhuang.
There is no way to be unhappy. More than half of the year has passed, and the cattle of the Caojiazhuang Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative will be ready for slaughter in less than three months. This means that all farmers participating in the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative will receive a good dividend.
Compared with previous years, I only earned a lot more this year.
In addition, as long as you are not lazy, there are various other incomes and benefits in their village. All of these are in line with the lyrics of the song "Good Days", which sings everyone's joy from the heart.
After the song "Good Days Are Ended", another piece of pure music "Horse Racing" followed.
The momentum is like the galloping of thousands of horses, which makes people's hearts surge.
It also heralds immediate success for this year’s college entrance examination students.
That's exactly what happened.
Last year, five students were admitted to college, but only two were admitted to undergraduate degrees.
This year is different. There are three people who have been admitted to the undergraduate program, and two more people have been admitted to colleges and universities. The total is 5 people. But compared with last year, the quality is much higher.
This also indicates that there are more and more talents in Caojiazhuang.
When they heard the music playing from the loudspeaker, many people came out of their homes and walked towards the village committee compound.
After arriving here, everyone consciously lowered their voices to avoid making any noise.
If any child is too naughty, the people next to them will kindly remind them.
While it was being lively, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Director Cao is here, everyone, please be quiet."
"Where?" Someone immediately turned to look north, only to see Cao Shujie riding an electric bike and bringing Mengmeng over here.
There was an electric tricycle following him, and the rider was his wife Cheng Xiaolin.
Also sitting on the electric tricycle were the old man Cao Zhenghu and her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan.
Cao Jianguo and his eldest brother Cao Jianlin followed the crowd from the south, chatting as they walked, and finally gathered together in the village committee courtyard.
In order to cool down, there are four large fans in the courtyard with full power, blowing the wind.
Speaking of this matter, some people were discussing in low voices when the village committee could build a large conference room and install air conditioning. They would not feel hot when holding meetings in the summer or cold in the winter.
This matter was brought up by Cao Shujie when he first took office the year before last, and it has been exactly two years since then.
Many people are discussing that village committees are different now than in the past.
In the past, the village committee was really poor and had a lot of debts on credit from outside, but now the Caojiazhuang Village Committee has a cash flow of several million and is extremely rich. It is completely different from the past.
"Director Cao is here."
"Good morning, Director Cao!"
"Director Cao's face is glowing today. Has he become rich again?"
"I'm just saying, if Director Cao gets rich and eats meat, we can just drink some soup too."
"Mengmeng, come down and let me give you a hug."
What was a quiet scene just now has turned into a vegetable market.
Everyone was surrounding Cao Shujie, so that when Cao Jianlong, Gao Changyin, Cao Zhengcun and Lu Ping came over, they seemed a little deserted.
Seeing that this was not going to work, Cao Shujie shouted loudly: "Everyone, please disperse. Come in and sit down quickly. We will have a meeting soon."
His voice is really in charge.
The crowd surrounding him immediately dispersed, and everyone entered the courtyard to find a place to sit down.
Most of them were older than him, and some were even his elders in terms of family relationship, but when Cao Shujie spoke, they all obeyed.
Cao Jianlong, Cao Zhengcun and the others came over, and Gao Changyin sighed: "I haven't seen this kind of situation for a long time."
"No, we haven't held a village meeting for some time." Cao Zhengcun answered.
The four people entered the office. Cao Shujie had already brought Mengmeng in and was preparing things for a meeting later.
…
Ten minutes later, Cheng Xiaolin took the naughty Mengmeng away.
Cao Shujie and the other five stood outside the office door, looking at the stage set up next to it, which was covered with a thick red carpet.
In the past, when I had no money, the carpets I laid were of very low quality.
Now the conditions are different, and the village committee is also spending money.
Cao Shujie handed the microphone in his hand to Cao Jianlong, but Cao Jianlong rejected it: "You can just say it."
He was used to Cao Shujie hosting such occasions.
Cao Shujie talks in one way and his ideas are wild and unconstrained, but he is not good at it and can't keep up with the rhythm.
On this occasion, it would be more appropriate for Cao Shujie to show up.
In this case, Cao Shujie would not be polite.
"Dear young and old men of Caojiazhuang, my name is Cao Shujie. It's very hot today. Let's hold a college entrance award ceremony here while it's still cooler in the morning."
"When Secretary Cao told me about this, I was very happy and proud of all the children who were admitted to college. The number of people in our Caojiazhuang who entered college this year was higher than last year, which shows that the children have worked hard."
"But I would like to say that those who did not get into the undergraduate program should not be discouraged. You can continue to upgrade to a bachelor's degree in a vocational college. I am looking forward to hearing about your success in two or three years."
"It has been two years since I became the village director of Caojiazhuang. In these two years, I believe everyone has seen the changes in our Caojiazhuang."
"On this point, I should live up to everyone's expectations of me."
Seeing everyone in the audience nodding subconsciously, Cao Shujie was relieved.
He did not continue talking about this matter and went directly to the topic: "Okay, let's make a long story short, and then we will give awards to the children first."
"play music!"
"Bang the drum!"
Following Cao Shujie's shout, the pure music of "Horse Racing" sounded again, followed by a burst of intensive gongs and drums coming from outside.
After a while, everyone saw a blue truck covered in red satin. There was a big drum in the truck bed, and four people stood in the truck bed and played the drum.
There were six other people playing small waist drums in the back.
This scene stunned the people in the compound.
Compared with last year, there are many new tricks this year, and it can be seen that the village is really making money.
Someone recognized that this gong and drum troupe was from the town, specializing in weddings and weddings.
There were even people who knew the drummer in the gong and drum troupe, but no one came up to say hello at the moment. Everyone knew that now was not the time to reminisce about old times.
After the gongs and drums team finished, as Cao Shujie read his name, five young children stood up from the crowd and walked towards the stage.
These five people are Cao Chenglong, Cao Wentao, Cao Shasha, Gao Yue'an, and Liu Cheng.
Four men and one woman, 5 young guys and girls came to the stage and showed their best side one by one.
However, they still felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many villagers in the village.
Among these five people, the three who were admitted to undergraduate degrees were all from ordinary schools and were not admitted to key universities.
But even so, Cao Shujie still encouraged them and encouraged them to continue taking postgraduate entrance examinations in school.
I also expressed to them and all the villagers present that the future development of Caojiazhuang requires more talents, and the Caojiazhuang Village Committee welcomes more students to study hard and enter college.
These students are more welcome to return to Caojiazhuang after graduation and make their own contributions to the development of their hometown.
However, Cao Shujie also specifically emphasized here that whether to return to his hometown for development is the independent choice of all children, and neither he nor anyone in the Caojiazhuang Village Committee will force it.
In fact, parents off the stage were also very excited when they saw their children wearing red and colorful clothes and winning prizes on the stage.
They are even thinking about how to tell their children when they go back and persuade them to go home and develop their careers after graduating from college.
Although the outside world is wonderful, home is our foundation.
Moreover, Caojiazhuang's current development is not bad.
…
After the award ceremony, today's meeting did not end.
Seeing them step down, Cao Shujie continued: "Everyone, the great development of Caojiazhuang has just begun. I sincerely hope that all the villagers will join in. Please believe that our Caojiazhuang Village Committee will lead everyone to do better."
Having said this, Cao Shujie turned around and looked at Cao Jianlong: "Uncle Long, please say a few words."
"Okay, I'll take this rare opportunity to say a few words to you." Cao Jianlong did not refuse.
He does have something he wants to tell everyone, and he wants to talk about it first.
"Dear young and old men of Caojiazhuang, let me tell you some good news first." Cao Jianlong said.
One sentence attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Everyone is very curious about what Cao Jianlong is going to say?
Then I heard him say: "I have discussed with Shujie and also agreed with the other three members of our village committee. In line with the principle of taking from the people and using it for the people, taking into account the two conditions of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee,
The vigorous development in 2017 is inseparable from the joint efforts of all the young and old men in Caojiazhuang, so we have decided to increase this year’s festival benefits and other benefits this year.”
"The welfare for the following Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival will be raised from 300 yuan per household to 500 yuan."
"And after the village committee studied and decided, the village committee will pay for the slaughter of three cows this year and distribute the beef equally to the people in the village."
"In addition, all eligible elderly and veterans in Caojiazhuang can receive a subsidy of 1,000 yuan per year."
After Cao Jianlong finished speaking, the courtyard of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee was silent for more than ten seconds, followed by warm applause.
This is a handout. According to what Secretary Cao Jianlong just said, this year’s welfare is more than double that of the same period in previous years.
This is a real benefit. People value benefits very much. They don't need those frivolous things.
After announcing this matter, Cao Jianlong looked back at Gao Changyin and the other three, and then at Cao Shujie. Just when Cao Shujie felt a little confused, he heard Cao Jianlong say: "Everyone, Director Cao Shujie made a promise to everyone when he just took office.
We will build a large conference room as soon as possible. When we hold Caojiazhuang village meetings in the future, we can have air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter, so we don't have to be exposed to the sun like now."
"Last year, due to limited funds, this idea was not realized, but this year after repeated studies and discussions by the village committee members, as well as the current funding situation of the Caojiazhuang Village Committee, we decided to start this project and build a comprehensive venue that can both
The meeting can also be used for physical exercise, and all the funds used will be independently borne by the Caojiazhuang Village Committee. We would like to inform all Caojiazhuang villagers here."
