Yu Yan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Secretary Zhang, it seems that we need to take a rest. Let's go to Xicheng Village in front of us to have a rest and drink some water before leaving. What do you think? "
** nodded and said: "I'm fine, but Xiao Zhou is a lesbian and it's really a bit too much for me, so let's take a rest first."
"oh……"
Xiao Zhou suddenly cheered, like a little girl.
Xicheng Village is backed by a mountain, with hundreds of families living at the foot of the mountain. It is the last big village in front of the mountain. Compared with Beiluan Town or the seat of the Liuqiao Township government, this place is actually considered a mountainous area. As for Taocheng County, the entire Beiluan is a mountainous area.
Yu Yan led ** and others directly to the party secretary's house in Xicheng Village.
The party secretary of Xicheng Village was in his forties. When he saw Yu Yan, he was stunned for a moment, and then came to greet him in surprise. He stretched out his hands from afar and said with a smile: "Secretary Yu, why are you here? Oops. Ah, what a distinguished guest. Come on, please come in and sit down."
Yu Yan shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Secretary Ma, let me introduce you. This is Secretary Zhang, the new secretary of the county party committee in our county. I came here to visit you today."
Secretary Ma suddenly felt dizzy.
County Party Secretary.
Since Pangu opened the world, no county magistrate has ever been to Xicheng Village. What kind of wind is blowing today.
After a while, Party Secretary Ma came back to his senses. He quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, shook hands with ***, and said repeatedly: "Oh, it's Secretary Zhang from the county. This, this It’s really…”
I've been doing this for a long time, but nothing about "this" has come out.
** naturally smiled and shook hands with Ma Zhishu and said some words of encouragement.
Although Xiao Huang was very tired, he became more agile at this time and took out his camera in time to capture the lively conversation between the county party committee secretary and the grassroots village cadres.
**The actual time for the group to arrive at Laoshuyu Village was four o'clock in the afternoon.
At three o'clock, they met a large group of villagers halfway up the mountain. There were about thirty or forty people, both men and women, who were busy building an aqueduct. Despite the howling mountain wind and the cold weather, many young men still fought. He was shirtless, with steam all over his body. He was wielding a big hammer, clanging against the rocks.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Zhou, who was almost exhausted, perked up and asked with difficulty: "Secretary Yu, what are they doing?"
Yu Yan replied: "We are repairing the diversion canal."
"Repair the diversion canal. Isn't the terrain of Laoshuyu Village very high?"
Xiao Zhou didn't understand how to get water from such a high terrain. Isn't there a greater shortage of water in higher places?
Yu Yan said: "Laoshuyu Village is actually not in Shanjing. It is on the other side of the mountain. It can be regarded as a ravine. The geological structure of their village is a bit complicated. It may be limestone terrain. There may also be caves underground. In short, it cannot survive. Every time it rains, the water will seep out in a short time. The more than 80 households in Laoshuyu Village are seriously short of drinking water and irrigation water for humans and animals. They can only build this diversion canal from more than ten miles away. The water is diverted from the mountain stream. The road is full of rocks. It is not easy to build this canal."
Yu Yan said as he walked towards the group of villagers.
The villagers were surprised to see five such foreign-looking cadres. They were all a little curious. They couldn't help but stopped what they were doing and looked over.
"Gao Zhishu. Gao Zhishu. Gao Mu."
Yu Yan shouted at the group of people.
"Yo. Secretary Yu."
After a while, a very surprised and pleasant voice came from the villagers. Then a muscular figure emerged from the crowd. If you look closely, you will see that he is a young man in his twenties. He has a particularly strong body and is naked from the waist up. .The bronze-colored tendons were like iron. They rushed towards Yu Yan like a whirlwind. It was so fierce and evil that it was difficult to describe it in words.
Such a tiger-like man startled Xiao Zhou and he took a few steps back.
"Haha. I knew your boy would definitely be building canals here. Farming is off, so I have time to do it, right?"
As soon as the muscular man came closer, Yu Yan laughed loudly and punched him, hitting his sweaty chest. It made a thumping sound like a drum.
What a strong hand Yu Yan had. But this man didn't even frown. He seemed to want to give Yu Yan a hug. After all, he didn't dare to stand there. He giggled and said over and over again: "Secretary... so It’s such a cold day. Why are you here again? You don’t trust me. Just be at ease. The district allocated funds to buy cement and gave detonators and explosives. If I, Gao Mu, can’t repair this canal again, .Then just jump off this mountain. You won’t be able to see me anymore.”
"Hey, you have a good idea. You just jumped away and left this half-finished project. Who will do it? I will do it myself."
It can be seen that Yu Yan really likes Gao Mu. He smiled and teased.
Gao Mu smiled and looked at Yu Yan with very affectionate eyes. He seemed to regard Yu Yan as his brother.
"Secretary Zhang, let me introduce to you. This Gao Mu is the village party secretary of Laoshuyu Village. A veteran. Gao Mu. This is the new county party secretary ** Secretary. He is here to visit you personally."
After chatting with Gao Mu for a few words, Yu Yan immediately introduced him.
"Secretary of the County Party Committee."
Gao Mu was also stunned. He looked at ** in disbelief.
The woman at the moment was really in a state of embarrassment. Her whole body was soaked with sweat. Her hair, which had been perfectly combed, was also dripping with water. It stuck to her scalp. The disadvantage of insufficient hair was revealed. Coupled with him. The majestic square face looks quite funny.
Of course, Gao Mu didn't dare to doubt **'s identity. Secretary Yu personally introduced him. Can he be wrong? He just couldn't believe that the dignified secretary of the county party committee could walk for several hours to get to this old tree area. Come to the village.
"Haha. Hello. Little Gao Party Secretary."
**A rare smile appeared on his face and he took the initiative to extend his hand to Gao Mu.
"Hello, Secretary Zhang..."
Gao Mu quickly held the county party secretary's hand with both hands and shook it repeatedly. His expression was very excited. Xiao Huang quickly raised the camera and took a photo of this precious lens. He also took a few photos of other villagers.
This is truly rare and good news material.
"Xiao Gao Party Secretary, what kind of project are you working on?"
Although Yu Yan had already introduced it before, he still asked.
Gao Mu hurriedly replied: "Report to Secretary Zhang. We are building a diversion canal. Our village, Laoshuyu, has always been short of water. Especially in the early years, it is difficult to drink water. For so many years, we have always wanted to build a water diversion canal. Aqueducts, but there are no detonators and explosives, and there is no water. Our village is too poor and we have no money to buy these things. Fortunately, Secretary Yu came this year. He is very supportive of us. He solved the problem of detonators and explosives for us and allocated another 20,000 yuan to us. After buying cement, we made up our minds to repair this canal."
"Hmm. Okay. Okay. The party and the government should serve the people. Worry about the people's concerns and think about what the people think."
** nodded repeatedly and said with approval.
Xiao Zhou wrote down Secretary Zhang's instructions in a hurry. Then he whispered to the policeman: "Secretary Zhang, please see if you can say a few words to everyone. The masses are waiting."
Xiao Zhou did not expect to encounter such a passionate and touching scene on the mountainside. He felt that this was a very rare opportunity. If the secretary suddenly said a few words to the crowd, the whole manuscript might have a soul.
Yu Yan smiled slightly.
It’s not just propaganda. The news is very sensitive.
Gao Mu then said repeatedly: "Welcome Secretary Zhang to give instructions to us all.
**Reserved and nodded.
Naturally, Gao Mu didn't know **'s real intention of coming to Laoshuyu Village today. He thought that another good leader who cared about the suffering of the people as much as Secretary Yu had come. He was very happy. When he saw **, he nodded in approval and immediately turned back to the opposite party. Thirty or forty villagers shouted loudly: "Folks, Secretary Zhang from the county has come to visit us all. Secretary Zhang wants to give us instructions. Everyone is warmly welcomed."
The villagers were confused and didn't know how big an official the county secretary was. After hearing this, they all applauded. ** raised his right hand to greet the villagers. Under the guidance of Gao Mu, he stood up. On a high rock, he cleared his throat and began to deliver a passionate speech to the villagers.
Xiao Huang was busy taking photos, and Xiao Zhou was busy taking notes. It seemed that the fatigue from climbing just now was gone, and his whole body was full of energy again.
Yu Yan and Master Liang stood together, smiling and listening to Secretary Zhang's speech.
In the biting cold wind, Secretary Zhang's body trembled from time to time.
Master Liang then whispered: "Secretary Yu, it's too cold here and the wind is too strong. Secretary Zhang stopped sweating. Maybe he will be betrayed..."
As he spoke, Master Liang himself couldn't help but shudder.
I just felt that my underwear soaked with sweat clung to my body coldly, like a piece of ice armor. It was very uncomfortable.
Yu Yan smiled slightly but did not say anything.
Are you feeling cold? Secretary Zhang is in his fifties. He shouldn't need to be reminded.
Sure enough, ** simply weighed for two minutes and then ended his speech. He came down from the rock. Master Liang, who had been holding his coat for him, hurriedly stepped forward and put the Chinese tunic jacket on ** again. He said to Gao Mu said: "Secretary Gao, Secretary Zhang walked a long mountain road today. He set off at around eight o'clock in the morning. Look, should you please go to your village to take a rest and drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up?"
Gao Muru woke up from his dream and said quickly: "Of course, of course. Secretary Zhang, Secretary Yu and all the leaders are our distinguished guests from Laoshu Domain today...Secretary Zhang, Secretary Yu, please go to the village to rest."
Naturally, no one objected to this proposal.
In fact, ** is just holding on. It's already too much. Don't look at Xiao Zhou's embarrassment, but he is young after all. ** might get sick again after he goes back. But speaking of it, being sick is not bad. Secretary of the County Party Committee As soon as he took office, he was eager to go deep into the mountainous area to understand the people's situation. As a result, he got cold and sick. It is also an excellent news material. This alone can make a good article.
Gao Mu said loudly: "Folks, we have finished the morning work today. Let's go back together and chat with the big leaders from the county and district."
The villagers who were repairing the canal cheered. Who would be willing to throw rocks on the mountainside in the cold winter months? But this canal is the lifeline of Laoshuyu Village. It must be repaired before next spring to introduce water from the mountain stream. Come so as not to affect the spring sowing. Under the leadership of Gao Mu, everyone worked hard. Now the county secretary and district secretary have come to visit everyone. Who is not feeling warm in his heart?
At present, under the leadership of Gao Mu, the police continued to climb up the mountain. They had to climb over the mountain before they could reach Laoshuyu Village. The villagers packed up their tools and detonators and explosives, and followed them laughing and chatting. They grew up in the mountains and were accustomed to walking on mountain roads. They didn't care. However, Xiao Zhou soon began to fall behind again. Several strong female villagers enthusiastically stepped forward to help her. Later, they simply One on each side, hold her up and climb up.
Xiao Zhou was a little embarrassed at first. The villagers smiled and comforted her.
It's also true that she, a female cadre from the city, has climbed the mountain for a whole day to come here to visit everyone. It's really difficult for her. Before this, no woman from the city had ever been to Laoshuyu.
Yu Yan walked lightly. He chatted with Gao Mu from time to time along the way, asking about the progress of the canal and the situation in the village.
For young people like Xiao Huang and Xiao Zhou who grew up in the city, Laoshuyu is a wonder. After climbing over the mountain, you can see a variety of residential buildings on the hillside from top to bottom.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of houses. Some houses are built with strips of stone and look very heavy. Some houses are built with adobe bricks and are very dilapidated. And some are wooden houses. They look very dilapidated. They are quite quaint, but no matter what kind of house they are, they have one thing in common, that is, they only have one floor, and there are no houses with more than two floors. They stretch from the hillside to the ravine.
As soon as Xiao Huang saw such a scene, he immediately raised his camera and kept taking pictures while constantly asking the surrounding villagers.
Gao Mu smiled and explained to him: "Chief Huang, our old tree area has a lot of history. It has been here for a hundred or two hundred years. When our ancestors moved here, it was said to be to avoid war disasters. .There were only a few households at that time. Now there are almost 100 households.
Gao Mu is a veteran. He has seen a lot of the world. He can also distinguish the names of government cadres in the city. He is not called Xiao Huang like ordinary villagers. Cadre Huang is called Section Chief Huang.
Xiao Huang sighed and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect to see such a big yard deep in this mountain."
Yu Yan said: "Gao Mu, our ancestors had to hide in the mountains and forests to avoid war. Now that we are in peace and prosperity, and with the reform and opening up, we can't stick to the old calendar. We have to find ways to develop, get rid of poverty and become rich."
Gao Mu was met by Yu Yan when he first visited Laoshuyu Jiuzhai and several other villages deep in the mountains. He had a good impression of this retired village party secretary who was young but very prestigious in the village. He had given Gao Mu He made a promise that as long as he organized the villagers to repair the aqueduct, he would be transferred to the district and find a way to deal with his cadre treatment.
Yu Yan likes young cadres who are dedicated to serving the public and dare to fight hard.
Gao Mu also had great admiration for Yu Yan. This little secretary, who was younger than him, was very agile in his work and rarely used official words. After an on-site inspection of the actual situation in Laoshu Domain, he did it without saying a word. He promised to provide him with urgently needed detonators, explosives and cement. Since Gao Mu retired from the army two years ago and was elected as the village party secretary by the villagers, he has traveled to the countryside and districts frequently in the past two years to build aqueducts. I lost two pairs and gained nothing.
Poor.
The village is poor, the countryside is poor, and the district is equally poor.
