After the Chinese New Year, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, the town leaders sent the village cadres to work on the connection between the villages. Deputy Mayor Tian arranged for Lei Li to send Zhao Yan to Nanzhu Village. It was an hour and a half away from the town to Nanzhu Village. The car left at
The bumpy road was very bumpy. Thinking that it would be bumpy like this every day from now on, Zhao Yan looked unhappy.
.Though Lei Li was a little unhappy with Zhao Yan about what happened in the office last time, but seeing that Zhao Yan was sent to Nanzhu Village today, she knew that she must have offended the leader before being demoted. She felt guilty, but it was hard to say anything.
She told her that she should do as little work as possible in the village and let the village secretary and village director do it as much as possible, just doing odd jobs.
When I got off the bus at Nanzhu Village, I realized that this village is really poor and backward. There is not a single newly built brick house in the village. The more than 160 households in the village are all mottled and old-fashioned wooden houses. Only the village committee is a one-story building.
It's a simple brick house with one floor, and the four offices are all undecorated.
Village secretary Yang Shenggang, village director Yang Xinhua and village women's federation director Zhou Chunfang all greeted Zhao Yan at the village committee. After the introduction, the village secretary and village director were not enthusiastic about the new girl and made a fuss about how to get a hairy girl.
Director Zhou of the Village Women's Federation was asked to arrange temporary housing for Zhao Yan, but they only went to see Deputy Mayor Tian for a drink.
Director Zhou of the Village Women's Federation is forty-six or seventeen years old, with a dark and fat face, but she is very enthusiastic towards Zhao Yan. She said: "Assistant Zhao, how come you are assigned to our poor ravine? The former village cadres left after just one meeting.
Yes, I just showed my name, why are you serious now?" Zhao Yan smiled helplessly,
Said: "Since Secretary Yan has arranged it, I have to be serious. Director Zhou, I am not familiar with the work in the village. I will ask you to help me more in the future." Zhou Chunfang said happily: "Assistant Zhao is too polite. I am not familiar with the work in the village."
As long as you need any help, just let me know."
After Deputy Mayor Tian had a few glasses of wine with them, he took Lei Li and prepared to leave. He said to the village secretary and director: "According to Secretary Yan's arrangement, I will hand over Assistant Zhao to you.
I don’t care about the matter, but you have to guarantee Assistant Zhao’s safety.” The village secretary and director said in unison: “Mayor Tian, don’t worry, we will never be careless about what you tell us.”
After negotiating with the village secretary and director, Deputy Mayor Tian turned to explain to Zhao Yan: "In the village, you should listen to the secretary and director. All matters, no matter how big or small, should be handled according to the wishes of the secretary and director. Just now.
I have already told the secretary and director that because you are a girl and you have to go back to the county every day, I will send a car to pick you up on Sancha Road every day from now on. You can walk for half an hour by yourself. You can come later in the morning.
You'll be there at 4:30 p.m.
Wait for Master Liu at Chakou. Do you think this is good?" Deputy Mayor Tian saw a big girl being sent to the village. He also sympathized with it. When studying this year's list of residents, he originally disagreed.
But Secretary Yan arranged it, and he had to carry it out, but work was a small matter, and safety was a big deal. If Zhao Yan had any safety problems in the village, he would not be able to escape the blame, so he just took the opportunity to drink.
In particular, I made an explanation to the village secretary and director.
When Zhao Yan heard what Deputy Mayor Tian said, she knew in her heart that he really cared about her. She had offended Secretary Yan, and she might need Deputy Mayor Tian to speak a lot in the future. But Deputy Mayor Tian took the initiative to care about her. She
Very grateful, she said sincerely: "Thank you, Mayor Tian, for your concern. I will definitely
Remember your teachings. If anything happens in the future, I will report to you in the town." Deputy Mayor Tian nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then. You have to pay attention to your own safety." Lei Li waved to Zhao Yan.
She waved her hand and said, "Yanyan, I'll wait for you to go together tonight." Zhao Yan hummed and waved to her.
After Deputy Mayor Tian's explanation, the village secretary and village director became more enthusiastic about Zhao Yan. After chatting with her for a few words, they handed over the work to Zhao Yan. In fact, there was no daily work in the village, the most important thing was family planning.
Work and other policy work will be done when they come. Village cadres generally do not come to the village committee and are busy with their own affairs. The village secretary said:
"From now on, you will be in the village committee. You can do your own things. Of course, you don't have to come to the village every day. We will notify you if something happens." After the explanation, the village secretary and village director went home to get busy.
The farm work at home was gone. Only then did Zhao Yan realize that she had nothing to do when she came to the village, but since she was here, she was at peace with herself and let everything take its course.
Seeing that Zhao Yan was fine in the village committee, Zhou Chunfang took her home and said as he walked: "Assistant Zhao, if you don't mind, you will come to my house more often in the future. You are alone in the village committee."
It's not convenient to open a fire. You can just have lunch at my house." Zhao Yan was embarrassed and was about to refuse, but Zhou Chunfang said again: "Don't be separated from me. My son and daughter
My son is already twenty years old, not much younger than you. They have all gone to work, and my husband and I are the only ones at home. Except for the busy farm work, I make bamboo baskets at home every day and exchange two pocket coins at the market. If you
If it's okay, just come home and stay with me." Seeing Zhou Chunfang's enthusiasm, Zhao Yan was embarrassed to refuse anymore, but she wanted to see what kind of bamboo basket she made.
The old wooden house of Zhou Chunfang's family is a typical wooden house with a lobby in the middle and a wing on each side. The main room is filled with bamboo strips and pieces, and the corners are filled with bamboo baskets, baskets, trays, etc.
Various kinds of bamboo weaving, next to a small bench, a
The little crooked basket was half-way through the knitting process. It was obviously what Zhou Chunfang was just knitting. Zhao Yan had only seen these bamboo-backed baskets in the market and thought they looked good. She had never known how they were made. Now, she became interested.
, smiled and asked Zhou Chunfang to edit it for her.
Zhou Chunfang sat on a small bench, holding a bamboo-backed basket in one hand and a small bamboo piece in the other. She moved back and forth quickly for a while, and the bamboo-backed basket became more and more beautiful. Zhao Yan looked at it blankly and felt
Zhou Chunfang’s hands are really skillful
, she held the bamboo basket in her hand, and wanted to learn it, but she was so slow that she couldn't do it neatly. Zhou Chunfang smiled and said: "You are a young lady, how can you do this? We made up dozens of
Years later, once you get used to it, it will become faster."
Zhao Yan asked again: "Then you have made so much, can you sell it?" Zhou Chunfang said: "That's no problem. Someone comes to collect it when I go to the market in town. I don't make much. Basically, everyone in our village
Everyone is making it up, and everyone goes to the market to exchange it for some money to buy salt." Although Zhao Yan lives in a rural area, she has never experienced work in Longtan Town, and asked in surprise: "Everyone is making up,
So where do you get so much bamboo in your village?
Zhou Chunfang laughed loudly: "Our village lacks everything except bamboo. If you go outside and have a look, there are bamboos everywhere, so our village is called Nanzhu Village." Zhao Yan went out and looked around.
The mountains and ridges are all covered with lush bamboo forests, and the entire village and the surrounding mountains are all green. Despite the remote and backward conditions, this village is really a beautiful scenery. Zhao Yan can't help but have a lot of affection for this village.
