More and more villagers were watching, and almost everyone in the village came around, completely surrounding Li Maoshan's house. There were even people on the courtyard walls, chicken coops, toilet walls, and the trees in front of the door.
Everyone in the village is like this. Whenever someone's family has something to do, they will run faster than anyone else. During meals, they will also run with a bowl in hand to watch the excitement.
Qin Qihua angrily walked around in the yard with his hands on his hips. He pointed at Li Maoshan and cursed: "Well, Li Maoshan, you don't want to be the village chief anymore. If you don't want to be the village chief, I'd better ask you to do it. There are plenty of capable people."
, let me tell you, someone will come to develop Shitoushan soon. This will be good for you, Qiaobei Village, Shihe Town, and even Dongquan County. If the investment promotion is delayed due to your negligence, I think
Can you shoulder this responsibility?"
Li Maoshan originally had no intention of continuing to be the village chief, but when he heard that someone came to invest in Lion Head Mountain, his body shook and the cucumber in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at Qin Qihua helplessly and became speechless. Hearing someone
When the villagers came to invest, there was a commotion among the villagers, and soon they happily discussed the investment in Lion Head Mountain.
Since the last mining accident, the Lion's Head Mountain Mine has been in a rectification stage. Cai Jiaquan took tough measures and shut down all enterprises in one fell swoop, investing huge sums of money to restore the vegetation of Lion's Head Mountain. This work has been progressing for some time, but
The effect is not very obvious. The huge funding gap means that for Shihe Town, which is struggling with finances, it is simply a matter of rushing the ducks to the shelves, and the money is tight.
Originally, some nearby villagers were still working in the Shitoushan Mine, and although they did not earn much, they could barely support their families. However, since the shutdown, their source of income has been cut off, and their lives have become increasingly difficult.
Seeing that his method worked, Qin Qihua said to Shen Tong again: "Shen Tong, you have worked so hard to recruit this big company. It is said that you have been sent to a shelter because of this. Just because of this, you must follow me."
Go, this is the income of your labor, and it is the reward you deserve for your efforts."
As expected of Qin Qihua who has been working at the grassroots level all year round, he convinced Shen Tong and Li Maoshan with just a few words. Shen Tong also stood there blankly, lowering his head and saying nothing.
Qin Qihua walked up to Li Maoshan, kicked Li Maoshan hard on the butt, and said: "Why are you still squatting here? Why don't you quickly pack things for Shen Tong? ***, you talked back to me, that's the opposite.
It's your turn."
Li Maoshan was kicked by Qin Qihua and sat on the ground, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter. A villager who climbed up a tree to watch the excitement almost fell from the tree with laughter. Fortunately, someone who was also on the tree gave him a lift.
Caught him.
At this time, Tian Xiulan raised the curtain and went in for Shen Tong to pack. Every time she packed something, she felt inexplicably sad. Although Tian Xiulan didn't get along with Shen Tong for a long time, they lived together every day, ate from the same pot, and...
Strangers also had feelings. Especially the entanglement with Shen Tong, which she would never forget. Unknowingly, Tian Xiulan actually shed tears, which made Shen Tong beside her very sad.
Shen Tong's things were very simple, a quilt and a few clothes, which were quickly packed into the car. When Shen Tong was about to step into the car, a hysterical cry came from the distance: "Shen Tong
Officer, wait a moment."
Shen Tong immediately looked back and saw that it was the nearly 80-year-old old woman Zhang who lived in the west end of the village. She saw her limping toward Shen Tong with a shaky cane and a basket in her hand.
Old Mrs. Zhang was a five-guaranteed household with no children and never married. It is said that she was persecuted by the Japanese army at that time, which resulted in lifelong infertility. Later, some people wanted to marry her, but she thought her body was dirty and refused. Later, she lived alone all her life. Although her family was not seriously affected by the landslide this time, she had no labor and could only wait for others to help her.
After Shen Tong saw this situation, he organized the unaffected villagers in the village to help Mrs. Zhang renovate her house. In addition, Shen Tong also rearranged her yard and built a chicken coop for her in the northeast corner. It was okay. When she was young, she accompanied Mrs. Zhang to work in the fields, which made Mrs. Zhang very excited.
She didn't know who she heard said that Shen Tong was leaving, so she hurriedly put the eggs she had saved into the basket one by one and walked quickly to Li Maoshan's house.
Shen Tong hurried over, supported Mrs. Zhang, and said with concern: "Grandma Zhang, walk slower."
Mrs. Zhang stood still and gasped for air. She rested for a while and said, "Cadre Shen, I heard you are leaving?"
Shen Tong held Mrs. Zhang's withered hand, looked at her gray-brown eyes, and nodded heavily.
Mrs. Zhang sighed helplessly and said, "I was still counting on you to work in the fields for me. What will I do if you leave?" After saying that, she burst into tears and picked up the corner of her clothes. Gently wiped his dry eyes.
At this time, Qin Qihua also stepped out of the car, walked quickly to Mrs. Zhang, and said affectionately: "Auntie, Shen Tong has a more important task. Don't worry, Shen Tong will come back often if he doesn't leave. It’s up to you.”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Shen Tong, pointed at Qin Qihua and said, "Is he telling the truth?"
At this moment, Shen Tong was also deeply moved by Mrs. Zhang's actions. He didn't want to shed tears in front of so many people, so he held back his tears and said with a choked voice: "Grandma Zhang, I'm in the town. I won't leave. If something happens to you, tell Brother Li Maoshan. If he knows, I will know too, and I will definitely come back in time."
"That's good, that's good. Come on, Officer Shen, take this. Grandma doesn't have anything to give you." After saying that, she handed over a basket of eggs.
Shen Tong said nothing and refused to take it. After pushing him back and forth several times, Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she stamped her feet and yelled with all her strength: "You must take it. This is ***'s only wish."
Qin Qihua looked on and was moved by it, and said to Shen Tong: "Shen Tong, why don't you accept it? This is not only the sincerity of the aunt, but also condenses the hearts of all the villagers in Qiaobei."
The crowd of onlookers also suddenly spoke up, saying in a flurry of words: "Cadre Shen, just accept it..."
Shen Tong couldn't bear it anymore, took the egg with tears in his eyes, and bowed deeply to Mrs. Zhang and everyone present.
After the car started, Shen Tong climbed up to the window and watched a group of people chasing the car to see him off. Shen Tong stuck his head out and kept waving to the people leaving. His heart had already taken root in Qiaobei Village. .
At this moment, Shen Tong understood that he was assigned to Qiaobei Village. Although he was far away from the political center, he had won the hearts of the people and a group of lovely villagers who truly supported him and loved him. From this point alone, Shen Tong also felt that These days and nights in Qiaobei Village are very worthwhile and unforgettable.
Farewell, Qiaobei Village! Farewell, a group of lovely villagers!
The car was swaying on the way to the town government. Qin Qihua, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly said: "Shen Tong, it seems that your prestige is very high in Qiaobei Village." While speaking, Qin Qihua looked through the rearview mirror. With Shen Tong.
Shen Tong leaned back on the table and chair, looking at the receding cornfield. When he went to Qiaobei Village, the corn was still a foot-high seedling, but now it was a stalk as high as a person. At this moment, his mind was all about the bridge. Every bit of life in Beicun, when Qin Qihua asked him, he did not answer, but smiled slightly.
Qin Qihua observed Shen Tong and felt very uncomfortable. He thought to himself: "I have been in the township for almost 20 years, but I still don't have the prestige of Shen Tong who has been in the village for two or three months." When he saw Shen Tong didn't speak, he Without asking again, he looked into the distance as well...
