Volume 3: Taking a Post in Hongchuan

It took nearly an hour to go down the mountain. Most people think that going down the mountain is easier than going up the mountain, but this time Lu Yan really experienced "it's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain".

When he went up the mountain, he rode a donkey, but Lu Yan didn't find it too troublesome. But this time when he went down the mountain, Lu Yan was sweating all over, and the sides of his thighs were sore.

Finally riding a donkey to the party secretary's house in Wugou Village, Lu Yan almost rolled off the back of the donkey, ran into the party secretary's house and lay down on the kang, completely ignoring his image as the leader of the town.

The road down the mountain was really difficult. Not only did the donkey have no brakes, but the people riding on the back of the donkey were also bouncing around. They felt like they were going to fall down at any time. It was really frightening along the way.

Along the way, Lu Yan had a deeper understanding of the difficult natural conditions in Jieling Village. Now that he thought about it, it was so troublesome to go in and out of Jieling Village. The Coca-Cola in the canteen at the entrance of the village cost eight yuan a bottle.

Seems expensive.

Although it was a little tiring, Lu Yan really felt that the harvest was not small and the trip was worthwhile. No one expected that the seemingly poor Jieling Village would have such a big treasure.

The village party secretary ordered his family to prepare dinner, and they must keep Lu Yan and others at home to have dinner.

Unlike Jieling Village, Wugou Village already belongs to the foothills of Daqingshan Mountain, and the conditions are much better than those in Jieling Village. Although there is no road here yet, and the water supply still relies on waterlogged pond water, after all,

This place has been connected to electricity for more than 20 years, and it looks completely different from Jieling Village.

The party secretary's house is considered to be in better condition in the village. The house is equipped with a TV, a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a computer that is rare in Sidaogou Town.

The computer was covered with a golden velvet blanket. Lu Yan lifted the blanket and took a look. It was a 486 machine that had been obsolete for many years.

Seeing Lu Yan paying attention to the computer, the village party secretary immediately smiled and said that it was a broken computer and it was just a decoration.

It might be a pretense in front of the folks in the countryside, but the village party secretary also knew that Lu Yan was a cadre from the provincial capital and must have seen the world, so he told the truth.

The village party secretary has a cousin in Hongchuan County. When the village party secretary went to visit his home three years ago, his computer broke down and he needed to replace it with a new one. The old computer was originally going to be replaced.

I sold it to a scrap collector, and the village party secretary enthusiastically helped me carry the computer to the flea market to sell it.

Unexpectedly, I visited several stalls, and it seemed that they were all colluding. The prices quoted by the stall owners were only twenty or thirty yuan. My cousin's relatives were patient in negotiating the price at first, but then they got angry and bought this guy in their own hands.

It cost seven to eight thousand yuan back then. Even though it's broken now, it's not even worth twenty or thirty dollars for the parts.

Naturally, the people at the flea market were interested in whether you wanted to sell or not, and my cousin and relatives also got angry: "I would rather throw it away than let you take advantage of it." She really wanted to throw away the computer.

The village party secretary felt a little distressed at this time: What a wonderful thing. In Sidaogou Town, there are only a few of these devices in the town government and banks. It would be so luxurious to have such a device in your own home.

Thinking of this, the village party secretary said, brother, don't be angry. If you really don't want to sell it at a low price, just give it to me and I will take it home for use. I can give you a hundred yuan.

My cousin's relatives are a little confused. The computer hardware is quite old, and it's a bad thing. It won't be of use if you take it home.

The village party secretary gritted his teeth and said, don't worry about whether I am useful or not. If it doesn't work, I will pay you a quick payment of 120.

My cousin's relatives saw that he really wanted this broken computer, but it happened to be hard to sell for a few bucks, and it still took up space at home. Giving it away was not only a waste product, but also a personal favor.

I made my decision immediately. If you really want it, I’ll give it to you.

The village party secretary was very happy when he heard this, and tremblingly tried to take the money out of his shirt pocket, but his cousin's relatives stopped him and gave him away for free.

The village party secretary was a little embarrassed, and the two refused for a long time, but in the end they couldn't resist the cousin's relatives. So the two of them took the computer home and found a cardboard box to put it in. The village party secretary took it home the next day.

The village party secretary spoke energetically about the origin of this computer for a long time, never forgetting to remind him that although it was a broken computer, it was also the first computer for the 400 to 500 households in Wugou Village. His family bought it

He is the first in the village to buy tractors, the first in the village to buy a TV, the first in the village to buy refrigerators and washing machines, and now he is also the first in the village to have a computer.

Watching the village party secretary talk happily, he also pointed at his own computer and compared it with the town government's computer, saying that his own computer looked grand and much more impressive than the thin and flimsy thing from the town government.

Bai Shufeng and Xiao Li naturally knew that the thin things he was talking about were a batch of new LCD computer monitors replaced by the town government last year. That monitor was much more advanced than the old CRT commonly known as the "big ass" in front of them. But they also

He did not expose the village party secretary to his face, but just smiled and listened to the village party secretary's talk.

However, these words of the village party secretary were really unpleasant to Lu Yan's ears. Since he was a child, Lu Yan has broken through five or six computers. This old 486 machine was used when he was in elementary school more than ten years ago.

Configuration. But more than ten years later, in a house with the best conditions in Wugou Village, he saw such a computer again. Moreover, it was a broken machine, but the owner showed it off like a treasure.

.

Lu Yan felt a little sad. He was the head of Sidaogou Town. Looking at the poverty and backwardness in front of him, he felt really bad.

The good mood after the conversation with Bai Laoer in Jieling Village disappeared without a trace. At this time, Lu Yan was a little anxious. This anxiety was not for anything else, but for the development of Sidaogou Town.

It has been more than thirty years since the reform and opening up. The economy has grown and residents' living standards have been significantly improved. But in Sidaogou Town, our people are still living such a poor and backward life.
