After confirming that his Hangdian Baozian Village was Hongqi Village, Sha Zhengyang greeted Jian Xingguo in the afternoon and rode his bicycle to Hongqi Village in the scorching sun.

Hongqi Village is in the upper reaches of Baixi River. Provincial Highway 206 passes by Hongqi Village, while Dongfang Village, which is close to Hongqi Village, is dependent on Hongqi Village's staggered teeth and teeth on Provincial Highway 206.

To be honest, the conditions in Nandu Town are not bad. The ten administrative villages and one neighborhood committee of Nandu Town are basically along the southwest of Yintai County, and are in an irregular semicircle to protect the southwest corner of Yintai County.

Hongqi Village and Dongfang Village are the two villages closest to Yintai County, only four or five miles away. The distance between H County and Nandu Town is similar.

The water content of Baixi is not large, but the water quality is very good. Most of its sources are Niubei Mountain behind Nandu Town.

Niubei Mountain moves east-west, and the mountain is not steep, but the forest vegetation is maintained quite well. All kinds of tree species from subtropical areas can be found in the mountains. Later, it was applied to be a provincial forest park of Niubei Mountain.

Twenty years later, with the expansion of Han Metropolitan Area northward, this line has become the main battlefield for real estate companies. The area around Niubeishan is also favored by real estate companies because of its huge green lungs. Poly, China Overseas, Country Garden, Hutchison Whampoa, Vanke, Longfor and other major real estate developers have all entered the market and started a fierce competition with local real estate companies in Hanchuan.

There are streams and streams in the mountains, many springs and many underground rivers, which has become the main source of Baixi water source.

In the midsummer Provincial Highway 206, the sun was scorching. The asphalt on the road had been roasted. The bicycle was riding on it and made a squeak sound. The friction was much greater. There were pits in many areas, so I simply used yellow mud and gravel to mat it roughly.

Sha Zhengyang flexibly walked through these bumpy areas with the bicycle faucet. When he heard a car horn behind or a car coming across from him, he leaned over and walked slowly.

Ten minutes later, Sha Zhengyang, sweating profusely turned into a small stone path. Less than fifty meters, there was an elementary school. A dilapidated courtyard next to the elementary school was the location of the Hongqi Village Committee.

Seeing Sha Zhengyang pushing his bicycle in, a big black dog sticking out his tongue at the door was originally lying on the edge of the threshold, and immediately stood up, looking like he was choosing someone and barking wildly.

Sha Zhengyang just squatted down and picked stones, which immediately made the black dog jump out more than a dozen steps in an instant, but the barking became louder, and it seemed that he was very experienced.

Sha Zhengyang pushed the cart into the double-fan iron sign door, looked at the mud yard, and there were two rows of bungalows, one horizontal and one vertical. There were about seven or eight, only two offices with doors open, and the other rooms were closed, looking depressed and dilapidated.

However, the ground in the yard was neat and clean. I simply pressed it with concrete, which emitted a scorching power under the sun, revealing a unique sense of bleakness in the early 1990s.

"Secretary Gao, Secretary Gao, are Secretary Gao here?" Sha Zhengyang roared the phoenix bicycle to the side and raised his throat.

You can't be shy and restrained when you come to the countryside. This is also the experience gained by Sha Zhengyang when he was dealing with rural cadres in Xishui Town in his previous life. It is literary and will make people look down on you and it will be difficult to bring the relationship between the two parties closer.

"Who?" A sound came from an office in the middle, a little dry.

Before coming, Sha Zhengyang also learned about the composition of cadres in Hongqi Village.

The village branch secretary Gao Changsong, an old Communist Party member who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, still has shrapnel on his body and has a strong prestige in Hongqi Village.

Village director Ning Guicai is said to have been in poor health and has nephritis. He spends most of his time recuperation at home.

The village clerk, that is, the village accountant Xie Zihe, the village militia company commander and security director, and the village regiment branch secretary Gao Baishan, and Gao Changsong's eldest son. He returned from the army and was the village women's director Ning Yuechan and the village cashier.

In Hongqi Village, Gao, Ning and Xie are all big surnames, among which Gao surname is the largest. The Gao surname accounts for nearly 120 households in the village, which is about one-fifth weak. The Ning surname and Xie surname are also forty or fifty households, which means that the three surnames account for almost one-third of the households in the village.

For example, Gao Changsong, the village cadres, Gao Baishan, both have the surname Gao. Although Ning Yuechan has the surname Ning, she married the surname Gao. Ning Guicai and Xie Zihe belong to the surname Gao, which is a very common phenomenon in the countryside.

Ning Guicai is generally not in the village, and this voice sounds like he is at least over forty years old. Gao Baishan is a young man under thirty years old, so Sha Zhengyang probably should be Xie Zihe, a clerk in Hongqi Village.

"Thank you?" Sha Zhengyang put the bicycle rack and walked to the door of the office. A thin middle-aged man who was writing something at the desk raised his head. He had glasses wrapped in white medical tape on his nose, making the other person's eyes look smaller.

The old desk, the legs of the table seem to be covered with half a piece of brick, and there is a telephone on the table, but the telephone is packed in a wooden box, and the dialing side is covered by wooden boards. A padlock on a small hinge proves the price of this thing.

Yintai County only started to change from the old-fashioned shaking phone to the program-controlled phone a year ago. The installation price of a program-controlled phone was extremely high. The first batch was nearly 10,000 yuan, but it only fell by 2,000 yuan after half a year, but it was as high as more than 6,000 yuan, which was almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary working class for two or three years. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary units cannot afford to install it.

"Are you..." the middle-aged man was a little confused.

"Thank you, I am Sha Zhengyang, the newcomer in the town. Secretary Guo has arranged for me to have some Hongqi Village, so I will come over to contact you in the afternoon. Is Secretary Gao here?" Sha Zhengyang walked into the office, took out the red plum smoke from his bag, shook out one, and gave it to the other party.

Although he had just arrived for a day and had a pack of red plums at the bottom, there were still two or three left, Sha Zhengyang was prepared and brought two packs of cigarettes to ensure that he used the lubricant such as red plum smoke to quickly eliminate the strangeness during this period after he came to the south.

"Oh, Secretary Sha, I heard Secretary Gao say that another college student has come to our town in the morning, and said that the town has arranged for some of our Hongqi Village. Unexpectedly, Secretary Sha came to the village in the afternoon, come and take a seat."

The thin middle-aged man immediately stood up and became particularly enthusiastic. While greeting him, he took out an enamel jar and a pack of flower tea, and actively brewed tea for Sha Zhengyang.

Sha Zhengyang originally wanted to do it himself, but was stopped by the middle-aged man and insisted on making tea for him. Sha Zhengyang had no choice but to take it with both hands.

The water in the boiling water bottle was not too hot, and the tea foam floated on the surface. The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed and quickly said that he wanted to go to the pot of water. Sha Zhengyang quickly persuaded him to stop and said that the water was not hot and it was just right to drink.

The middle-aged man was indeed the village clerk Xie Zihe. When Sha Zhengyang asked about the village party secretary Gao Changsong, Xie Zihe also showed an embarrassing expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Secretary Gao has gone to the winery again."
