The spring of 1994 came quietly. After the annual holiday, the Provincial Party Committee compound returned to its usual busyness. However, there were occasional ripples in the calm, because a group of cadres who were sent to Liaodong by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had ended.

For temporary training, more or less

, there will be some vacancies in local counties and cities, which inevitably attracts the attention of some department officials. But what makes Tang Yi strange is that Zhang Zhen was the first to eye this opportunity, and the temporary comrade from the Organization Department of the Central Committee finally returned

In Beijing, there is still no news about his personnel appointment.

From January to September, the National Poverty Alleviation and Development Work Conference was held in Beijing. State Councilor and leader of the State Council Poverty Alleviation and Development Leading Group Chen Hanjiang announced at the meeting: The State Council decided to implement the "National Poverty Alleviation and Development Plan" starting from this year and strive to achieve

Within the last seven years by the end of this century, the problem of food and clothing for the current 80 million poor people in the country will be basically solved.

The focus of the inspection office’s work this period is to monitor the progress of poverty alleviation work in the province.

On Saturday, March 5th, the first rest day of the new working hour system came. At that time, it was not a real weekend day, but a five-and-a-half-day working day, with a Saturday off every other week.

Tang Yi had already received a call from Lei Hao saying that he would come to see him on Saturday, so he notified Qi Jie early not to come this Saturday. Qi Jie, who had not seen Tang Yi since the year, was irritated.

After Tang Yi coaxed her for a long time and promised to give her two days on the next weekend, Qi Jie coquettishly hung up the phone.

On Saturday morning, Tang Yi was sitting on the sofa watching the news. In his arms, Bao'er lay on his chest, as lazy as a kitten.

Sister Lan went out to buy vegetables early, and Aunt Li also liked to visit the vegetable market, so she went out together.

Tang Yi was recalling the scenes that happened before and after the Chinese New Year. With the efforts of himself and Gao Zhen, Wang Fengqi was sentenced to two years in prison with one year of probation. Being temporarily exempted from the pain of prison is considered the best result.

.Wang Fengqi is a sensible person. He is in a state of respite.

During the sentence, he no longer contacted Tang Yi and Gao Zhen. Tang Yi also inquired about his situation. The house he was assigned was taken back and he had moved to his wife's natal home. He was temporarily huddled with them, although it was a bit miserable.

But it's not like I'm homeless.

Tang Yi's depressed mood was finally relieved in Beijing. There was a grandfather in Beijing, and the old lady's casual words could always cheer up Tang Yi and clear away the gloom. There was also a little sister and a little girl in Beijing.

The girl sat down facing each other and sipped tea quietly. No need to say anything, Tang Yi always felt peaceful and happy, and his mind seemed to be immersed in the faint lingering tranquility.

The only regret is that his mother did not come to Beijing for reunion this year during the Chinese New Year. Tang Yi hopes that next year he can really convince his mother to reintegrate into the Tang family, not for others, even for the old lady. He wants the family to be happy.

Bao'er opened her mouth and yawned. Her cute appearance made Tang Yi couldn't help but smile and pinched her face: "Little Piggy, you haven't woken up yet?"

Baoer is wearing a new clothes for the Chinese New Year, a small pink cheongsam, with strings of pink plum blossoms embroidered on the cheongsam, which is both beautiful and cute.

Looking at it, Tang Yi wanted to hug her and bite her hard.

Bao'er also particularly liked her little cheongsam. Seeing that Tang Yi was in a good mood, she smiled and hugged Tang Yi's neck: "Uncle, can I wear new clothes to go to school tomorrow?"

Tang Yi pinched her pink chin and said with a smile: "Besides, you are not allowed to wear it today!"

Baoer looked down at his little cheongsam with a frown on his face, obviously reluctant to take it off.

Tang Yi laughed. In fact, Bao'er's clothes are all chosen by herself or ordered for her. Her daily dress is already a bit ahead of her time. Wearing a little cheongsam to go to school doesn't matter whether it's cold or not. I'm afraid the school teacher will visit her home soon.

, let’s see if Bao’er’s parents are too avant-garde.

In fact, there is a reason why he made Bao'er a cheongsam. It was because Tang Yi remembered the past. At that time, he and Bao'er were shopping together and saw a promotional poster of an insurance company on a giant billboard. On the billboard, there was a beautiful little girl.

Baby, I was wearing a little cheongsam to greet everyone. She was very delicate and cute. Bao'er said with envy at that time, it would have been great if she could have worn a little cheongsam to celebrate the New Year when she was a child, and Tang Yi just fulfilled her wish.

Seeing that Bao'er was unhappy, Tang Yi rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "Have you met your grandparents when you got home?"

Bao'er grunted, pouted and said, "Grandpa and grandma are not good, they scold me and my mother."

Tang Yi sighed, rubbed her head and said, "What about grandpa and grandma? Where are uncle and the others?" When Tang Yi met Bao'er, Bao'er had been dependent on her mother. At that time, her grandparents had passed away, but Bao'er never

She mentioned that she used to have several uncles. It seems that the relationship was not good and they gradually stopped interacting with them. But there may be some changes now.

Bao'er still pouted: "My grandparents were very cruel to my mother at first, but then my mother gave me money, and they became nice to her."

Tang Yi shook his head and guessed that if Sister Lan got pregnant so early and married to a man like Zhuo Dajun, how could Baoer's grandparents treat her so well? But sometimes, money can really solve many problems, even if

It's family love, and sometimes it needs to be measured by money.

Tang Yi asked: "Where are your uncles? Are they nice to you?"

Bao'er burst into laughter: "They love Bao'er so much. There are also older brothers, sisters, younger brothers and younger sisters. They all like to listen to Bao'er's stories."

Tang Yi smiled, little treasure, you didn't see your mother giving money to your uncle. No matter what, your grandparents treat you and your daughter better than those uncles.

"Uncle, let me tell you a secret." Bao'er put his little mouth to Tang Yi's ear and whispered: "Mom knows how to brag, saying that she made a lot of money from her business, talking about me, my land, my household.

..." Bao'er frowned, but forgot the words.

Tang Yi laughed: "Hukou?"

Bao'er nodded her little head vigorously: "Well, she said she also bought my household registration with money. Uncle, what is a household registration? You asked your mother to buy it for me. Who told her to brag? It doesn't count." Bao'er was very happy.

A little bit aggrieved, which made Tang Yi laugh again.

Tang Yi smiled and asked, "You didn't tell grandpa and the others that mom was bragging, right?"

Baoer made a sad face: "Baoer don't dare, my mother will beat me, and my uncle is not here."

Tang Yi smiled and twisted her little face: "You must listen to your mother when you go home from now on, and you are not allowed to go against her, okay?"

Bao'er snorted and got into Tang Yi's arms again, saying, "Uncle, Bao'er said he was tired after talking, so he should sleep a little longer."

Tang Yi was speechless. He was lazier than when he had grown up. He was tired even when he talked? He had no choice but to hug her and let her take a nap in his arms.

Lei Hao and Chen Dahe rang the doorbell before lunch. Tang Yi opened the door and smiled: "If you don't come, I will eat it myself."

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Chen Dahe swallowed hard and chuckled: "Secretary Tang, I haven't been able to satisfy my craving for a long time since you came to the provincial capital."

Tang Yi smiled and scolded: "Come on, stop pretending, why can't you, the boss, eat?"

Lei Hao also laughed: "Secretary Tang. Lao Chen is very prosperous now. He was rated as an outstanding cadre of the Yanqing Public Security System at the end of last year." He also likes to call Secretary Tang Yitang, probably because he thinks it is more affectionate.

Sister Lan put two bottles of Wuliangye on the table and dragged Bao'er back to the house to eat with Aunt Li. A small table was set up in Sister Lan's room with every dish. It was Aunt Li's idea. Aunt Li also gradually figured it out.

Well, Tang Yi, a leader with a high level, naturally doesn’t want to delay their business.

Bao'er was reluctantly pulled into the house by Sister Lan. Tang Yi originally wanted to keep Bao'er, but thinking about it, Aunt Li insisted on going to the house to eat, and then left Bao'er on the table. Even if they were as close as a family, they didn't say anything.

, it was not good after all, so he didn’t say anything, and just winked at Baoer secretly. It didn’t mean anything special. He was trying to coax the child, making her think that he and she had some tacit understanding. Sure enough, Baoer smiled happily.

, followed Sister Lan into the house obediently.

It's been a long time since I met Chen Dahe, and Tang Yi really missed him. Unfortunately, Lei Hao was present and couldn't say a lot of things openly.

The three of them had a drink first, and then drank wine. As they chatted, Tang Yi wondered what Lei Hao had to do, but didn't ask, just chatting.

Lei Hao sipped his wine and said, "Secretary Tang, I came here to ask you something."

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Say, if I can help, I will."

Lei Hao said: "It's about the expressway."

Tang Yi understood as soon as he heard it. In the second half of last year, Liaodong began to build the first highway in the province. It is a highway of more than 300 kilometers from the provincial capital to the border port. It is also a key project of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Lei Hao

, probably hoping that the expressway can be built to Yanshan.

Sure enough, Lei Hao said: "Secretary Tang, you also know the situation in our Yanshan area. If we want to take off again, the expressway is an opportunity. If the Chunbian Expressway can be slightly shifted to the north, Yanshan can be connected as its node.

Even if it is not possible, we can also build a section of expressway from Yanqing to Yanshan, so that Yanshan can truly enter the province."

Tang Yi sighed. Although the construction of the Spring Bian Expressway has been approved, it is now a mess, even a powder keg.

Before the project was established, the province had high hopes for this expressway. The deputy governor in charge traveled to Beijing for half a year, and Liu Qi went to Beijing in person many times. Finally, some clues were gained, and the relevant national departments decided to provide financial support.

In addition to bank loans, all the construction funds in the budget were raised. However, there was no precedent for building expressways in Liaodong Province. Only when construction started did we realize that things were not that simple.

, the price increase of building materials has increased the cost by hundreds of millions, and there are many obstacles during land acquisition and demolition. I heard that the funding gap has now reached more than one billion, and one company that won the bid even fled with the money. Of course, these are all rumors.

, but there is no smoke without fire. Whether this expressway can be completed as scheduled is still a problem, let alone adding an extra section from Yanqing to Yanshan, which is really difficult.

Seeing Tang Yi's troubled expression, Lei Hao smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't have much hope, so I'm here to have a drink."

Chen Dahe glared at him and said: "Bullshit, I don't have any hope. Why do you just come here and say something? It will make things difficult for Secretary Tang."

Lei Hao smiled and said: "Old Chen, are you not convinced because I drank too much that time? Don't be convinced, you just can't drink enough."

Chen Dahe frowned and was about to retort, but Tang Yi waved his hand and said: "There is actually no way to deal with this matter, but we have to wait until the Chungbian Expressway is completed. If the Chungbian Expressway is not completed, don't mess around.

When it is completed there, you can file a report and apply for the construction of the expressway from Yanqing to Yanshan, and I can help. There is no problem in getting the project approved, and there is no problem in getting certain financial support, but Yanshan still has to pay for the bulk of it."

Lei Hao cautiously asked: "How much money does Yanshan need to raise by itself?"

Tang Yi thought about it for a while: "The road condition in Yanshan is not good. It is half mountainous and half plain. If it is a 50-kilometer highway, based on current prices, it will cost about 500 million to 1 billion. This is just an estimate, but it is roughly the same."

Lei Hao scratched his head and muttered to himself: "Five hundred million to one billion..."

Tang Yi laughed: "I don't want to let my children catch the wolf. If you want to reap the rewards, you have to pay for it! Building roads and bridges is something that will benefit future generations. It is a century-old project. If it is just for the sake of face, then just don't do it."

Lei Hao blushed. He raised his glass and said, "Secretary Tang is right, I should be punished!" He drank a drink.

Tang Yi added: "Read the documents issued by the central government. The focus of this year's work is poverty alleviation. Although Yanshan's economy is booming, the gap between rich and poor is probably widening. County Magistrate Lei, you have to think of more ways. Don't let the economy

Taking off will only benefit a few people, but we must make the majority of people feel the benefits brought by economic development. As long as we can do this job well, even if the highway cannot be built in Yanshan, we will have no regrets, right?"

Lei Hao nodded silently, knowing that Tang Yi's words were not just words for the occasion, but words of wisdom.

Tang Yi laughed again and said: "The working teams of the inspection office have been sent out to conduct overt and covert inspections. Maybe I will also go to various counties to have a look, I'm afraid Yanshan will be indispensable. You have to be careful, don't let me

Kill Ma Su with tears."

Lei Hao and Chen Dahe both laughed.
