When Wen Fugui heard the noise outside, he buried his head between his knees. He was in great pain and couldn't make up his mind. And if he wasn't sure, the demolition of the entire Miaoqian Village would definitely not be completed.
Chen Qingyun walked to the door and said, "Everyone, come in. You can discuss with me any ideas you have."
The one who was noisy outside the door was He Dashan's wife Dabai Goose. She followed a few old people into the house and kept yelling. It turned out that her house was built just a few months ago. It was on the edge of the market town.
There was a big square in front of her door, and she opened a restaurant, and the business was getting better and better. To demolish her house would be to take away her lifeblood.
The planning of Xinji Town was approved not long ago and there has not been time to do publicity work, but the villagers already know that many people like to live on the roadside and can do some small business to support their families.
Miaoqian Village is located in a narrow strip, with the Yushen River on the left and the fields on the right. There are many people in the mountainous area and few fields. Anyone who builds a house must be close to the mountains and rivers. No one dares to build a house in the fields, otherwise the whole village will be destroyed.
We will not let such people go. The paddy fields in the mountainous areas can only be planted for one season due to the cold water, heavy sandiness, and low rice yields, so they rely on government relief all year round. In the past, there was no industry at all in Sequoia Township, and there were many handicraft workshops.
, the main occupation is carpentry, bamboo basketry, camellia oil pressing mill, rice mill, food processing like a family workshop, as well as raising a pig, raising a few chickens, growing some vegetables for home use, and going to the mountains to pick medicinal materials, the income is very small.
The people in Sequoia Township have a strong love affair with the countryside and have almost no habit of going out to work. In addition, the traffic is congested and there is no TV signal here. Even the wires were only brought in during the transformation of the rural power grid in recent years.
They know very little about the world. Their biggest income comes from the medicinal material trade fairs in spring and autumn. At that time, every medicinal material dealer will rent a house and listen to some stories about the city from the medicinal material dealers. To them, city life seems to be
Something very far away.
Chen Qingyun came to Sequoia Township and started almost from scratch, making drawings on white paper. This was one of the reasons why he stayed in Sequoia Township.
The people who enter Wen Fugui's family are all old people. They often do work in mediating family disputes in market towns, and they are equivalent to local gentry.
Chen Qingyun quietly listened to the complaints of the old people, which actually meant that they had no confidence in the future. Having a house was their greatest comfort. They now live by the Yushen River, carrying water, washing vegetables, washing clothes, and taking care of children.
Playing in the river with the children. The new house is at least a few hundred meters away from the Yushen River. Many things in life are inconvenient when moving into the new house. In addition, it is not by the road. It is impossible to start a small business.
It's best not to move.
Chen Qingyun asked the old man next to him softly: "Dad He, what was the total income of the family last year? How many new clothes did you buy?"
The old man thought for a while: "It should be less than 500 yuan. I bought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and the like. It didn't cost much. I only bought a new dress for the baby. I should have about 100 yuan left during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Qingyun asked again: "Have you calculated your income so far this year?"
The old man smiled and said: "There are five people in my family, and one acre of land is planted with tobacco leaves. They were just sent to the flue-cured tobacco factory today. Mayor Chen, the factory you introduced is good. I gave you cash on the spot, more than 2,000 yuan."
It’s a good deal. I have two sons and a daughter-in-law who both work in factories, one in a flue-cured tobacco factory and one in a firecracker factory. Their combined salary is nearly a thousand yuan per month. Life is really good now. Every day feels like drinking.
Honey tea is very sweet." Other old people also echoed: "Chief Chen, you are really helping you. We all know that you have done a lot of good things for our temple since you came. The human heart is like flesh.
Sir, we are not ungrateful. If life is not inconvenient and we need to move, it is not impossible."
"Have you ever thought that your life will be better in the future? Do you want to live like a city dweller?" Chen Qingyun continued to guide the old people around him. He felt that these old people were as simple as children and very cute.
"Mr. Chen, please don't tease us old bones. Life is pretty good now." Several old people chuckled.
Chen Qingyun knew that the fire was not yet over, so he continued to add firewood to the fire: "If you don't have to carry water, wash clothes with your hands, and cook with coal and firewood, wouldn't that be a good life?"
"If you don't carry water, what can you drink?"
“If you don’t wash your clothes by hand, will they clean themselves?”
"If we don't need firewood, should we eat raw food?" Several old people shook their heads and started talking: "Chang Chen, we are country people and have never seen these new things. Is what you said true?"
Chen Qingyun said loudly: "My goal in working in Sequoia Township is to increase your income; building a market town in Miaoqian can completely achieve that level of living standards."
An old man in his seventies said worriedly: "Head Chen, I believe you. But you are a state cadre and you can leave as soon as you say. If the new head of the town is like Zhang Gong and the house is demolished,
If our life problems are not solved, then we will throw stones at the sky."
As cunning as a farmer and as practical as a farmer, Chen Qingyun knew that he would have to work hard to get rid of the knot in their hearts.
When Chen Qingyun was talking, the big white goose also stopped making noise, but when she got up to leave, she still shouted: "Chief Chen, even if you tell me lies, I don't believe you. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
You are just lying to us because we have never seen the world. My old man, He Ke, said that people in the city are not trustworthy. My house will not be demolished unless you arrest me."
The next day, after careful consideration, Chen Qingyun kept contacting the outside world and called in the deputy secretary Li Jie in the afternoon. After Yin Zhen became the director of the industrial park, the task of building the market town was handed over to Li Jie.
These days, Li Jie is focusing all his energy on Yushen County and Quanhu City. He is constantly working in the Planning Commission, Construction Bureau, Forestry Bureau, Land and Resources Bureau and other units. He told Chen Qingyun that it was not until this morning that the market town was
All construction procedures have been completed and work can now begin.
The two came to the hydropower station construction site again, where Lin Que was wearing a safety helmet and directing the workers to build the cement dam surface.
Seeing Chen Qingyun and Li Jie, Lin Que ran over quickly: "Head Chen, Secretary Li, welcome the leaders to inspect the hydropower station." He already recognized Chen Qingyun as the boss, but when other people were around, he still called Chen
Qingyun's position.
Li Jie smiled and said: "Manager Lin will treat us badly. It seems that there are fewer people on the construction site? The machinery and equipment are still in Sequoia, right?"
Lin Que said loudly: "Report to the leader that the hydropower station is already in the final stages and does not require so many people. Some workers have returned to Rongcheng. Because the construction contract for the market town was signed with Mr. Jiang, the machinery and equipment were not transported away."
In fact, the earthworks of the hydropower station have been completed long ago. Chen Qingyun told him not to transport the equipment for the time being. As soon as the hydropower station is accepted, he will submit his resignation to the Provincial Electric Power Construction Company, and then he will rent this batch of equipment from the Provincial Electric Power Construction Company.
equipment.
"Well, you choose an auspicious day and start the construction of the market town project immediately." Li Jie then said to Chen Qingyun: "Township chief, the construction of the market town involves thousands of households. I think it's better to invite the team from the Rain God Festival to come over and join in the fun, fellow townsman.
They all believe this."
Because Chen Qingyun had no feelings for the Rain God Sacrifice, when the hydropower station, tobacco factory, firecracker factory, and winery were being built, although many people proposed the Rain God Sacrifice to him, they were all rejected by him. This time it also involved road construction and demolition.
, Complying with public opinion is a good choice. He is not a stubborn person and immediately agreed to Li Jie's proposal: "Okay, you and Lin Que will discuss the date, come up with a plan, and then report to Secretary Wang in detail and ask him to make a decision."
Li Jie agreed verbally, but disagreed in his heart. The township cadres all knew that Chen Qingyun was the actual leader in Hongshan Township now, and Wang Jianjun was also very conscious, often staying in the county and not intervening in Chen Qingyun's affairs.
After leaving the hydropower station construction site, Chen Qingyun wanted to visit the Miaoqian market town. At this time, more contact with the villagers would only be beneficial to the upcoming demolition work.
When we first arrived at the gate of the township government, a hurried shout came from behind: "Chief Chen, walk slowly, wait for me."
Chen Qingyun and Li Jie stopped. It turned out that Ning Kezui said: "Brother Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time. You must have been very busy these days."
"Production has been stabilized, and I can breathe a sigh of relief. Today I have blended a new wine, and I specially asked you to taste it." Ning Zui Yangyang held two wine bottles in his hands: "A fellow villager gave me dozens of kilograms.
Grain wine, I will blend three kinds of wine into two bottles, it should be good."
Chen Qingyun said to Li Jie: "Secretary Li, let's go to Dad Wen's hotel and chat with Dad Wen."
Wen Fugui was still in a low mood, but Chen Qingyun and Li Jie came to the door at the same time, and he still greeted them warmly.
Ningzui used a two-pound bottle of wine. His plan was to give it to Chen Qingyun if he couldn't finish it. But the four people in front of him all had a good capacity for drinking, and each of them had just one pound of wine.
"Brother Ning, this wine is no worse than Liquan wine. It's a good craftsmanship." Chen Qingyun never lacks good words for beautiful things. He often inadvertently gives people high praise. This method has the lowest cost and the best effect.
Ning Ning said drunkly and proudly: "I can turn any wine into delicious food in my hands. If you like it, I will send you dozens of kilograms tomorrow."
Li Jie said with a smile: "Now there is no shortage of good wine for entertaining in the canteen. Head Chen, let's just prepare some. Some leaders of agencies come down and bring two bottles each to earn a smile."
Chen Qingyun said: "I think it's okay, you can discuss it with Director He." Li Jie doesn't care about the office, but he is the main contact with the outside world, so this suggestion can be regarded as his duty.
At this moment, a young man walked in outside the hotel door: "Grandpa Wen, we have two tables of guests and we don't have enough food. My mother asked me to borrow some mountain products from you."
"Go to your aunt, she's in the kitchen." Wen Fugui shouted towards the kitchen: "He Hua, get some mountain products for Bowazi."
Chen Qingyun felt that this young man looked familiar and asked: "Dad Wen, whose child is this?"
Wen Fugui said: "He Dashan's son, He Qingbo, is a good-looking young man. He is studying in high school in Yushen County. I heard that he has good academic performance and is promising."
He Qingbo took a few pieces of bacon and was about to go out when Chen Qingyun stopped him: "Young man, your head doesn't hurt, does it?"
He Qingbo said inexplicably: "Chief Chen, what are you talking about? Why does my head hurt?"
"I'm afraid that you fell off the roof that time and had sequelae. As long as it doesn't hurt, you can go quickly." Chen Qingyun remembered that this was the young man he rescued at the township hospital. No wonder he looked familiar.
