Chapter five hundred and fifty third extreme accident II
"Are you from the same village?" Upon hearing Zhao Manniu's words, Lei Hong was even more shocked. He never expected that he would unexpectedly meet Mr. Wang's fellow villager here.
From the same village? Doesn’t that mean we also know Mr. He? But I heard my grandfather say that their village had been massacred by the Japanese. But just listening to the old man’s words, it seems that this place has always existed? And I don’t have it either.
I heard from grandpa that he is also from Jingdu Province? So what is going on?
Lei Hong asked with a smile, "Old man, did you remember it wrong? We know in the textbook that Mr. Wang is not from Jingdu Province? How can you be from the same village as him? Did you remember it wrong? You are with him
They have the same name, right?"
The old man seemed a little angry and said, "Are you saying that I have Alzheimer's disease? Although I am old, my memory is profound, how could I forget it? I have told you just now that Wang Bingshuang is the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission
Wang Bingshuang who came down from the throne."
Lei Hong smiled bitterly. It seemed that the old man had misunderstood him. He originally wanted to explain, but was blocked by the old man's words.
The old man said, "Because the Japanese invaded, we were all flesh and blood at the beginning, teenagers, so we joined the team and fought against Japanese invaders everywhere. Not less than one company of Japanese soldiers died in my hands. It was only in one battle against the Japanese invaders."
During the blocking battle, my leg was injured and I finally retired. But after my leg healed, it became disabled and it was inconvenient to walk, so I had to completely retreat. But I have been paying attention to my troops and paying attention to them.
My old squad leader, I later learned that Wang Bingshuang was appointed Vice Chairman of the Military Commission because of his outstanding military exploits, and he stayed in that position until he retired."
The old man paused and continued, "This is not my first hometown. I was removed from the battlefield and was arranged to come here to recuperate. Since my hometown is gone, I have stayed here, married a wife and had children until now.
.”
"What about your hometown?" Lei Hong knew that this question would definitely bring him sadness in advance, but in order to confirm it again, he struggled mentally and asked anyway.
The old man sighed, "Hey, when the old squad leader and I went back, the place had been razed to the ground by the Japanese invaders."
Now Lei Hong believed the old man's words and believed that Zhao Manniu was Mr. Wang's fellow villager, but because there were still people present, he didn't show anything?
Lei Hong asked curiously, "Old man, why don't you go to Mr. Wang? I believe that with your relationship in the same village and as a comrade who has fought together, he will definitely help you, and you will not be like now."
Same predicament.”
Zhao Manniu smiled, shook his head and said, "Haha, Huaxia has just been established. Everything is in ruins, so why bother? Even if my son encountered such a situation, I would not think of going to him.
Besides, we haven’t contacted each other for decades.”
Lei Hong didn't say anything anymore. But the plan that came up in his mind made him determined.
Lei Hong said, "I will call you Mr. Zhao from now on. Mr. Zhao, do you know which direction the so-called underground river comes from?"
Zhao Manniu looked at Lei Hong, then stood up and thought for a while, "It should be in that direction. This is what the old man said from the old man."
Looking at the direction Zhao Manniu pointed, Lei Hong asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the direction of the military base in front?"
Zhao Manniu nodded.
Lei Hong stood up and looked deeply in that direction, remaining silent there.
After talking for a while, Lei Hong stood up and said to Zhao Manniu, "Mr. Zhao, I'm leaving first. I'll come back later."
After saying that, Lei Hong said to the two children, "Dongdong, Lili, the eldest brother is leaving first and will come to see you then. You must listen to your grandfather's words, understand?"
The two children nodded obediently.
Lei Hong put his hand into the bag, but soon took it out empty-handed. He originally wanted to leave some money for the old man, but thinking about the old man's self-improvement character, he gave up again, knowing that doing so would hurt the old man's self-esteem.
of.
The old man actually had doubts in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything?
After Lei Hong walked far away, he asked Song Nengjun, "Deputy Head Song, has the township considered how to solve the water problem?"
"Hey, why haven't you thought about it, but this matter was vetoed by Mayor Zhuge?" Song Nengjun replied helplessly.
"Veto?" Lei Hong turned around and looked at Song Nengjun in confusion and said, "Is this a good thing? What is he vetoing?"
Song Nengjun looked at Lei Hong, hesitated and said, "The upper management allocated some money at the beginning, probably more than three thousand. This money was originally mainly used for desertification prevention and afforestation. But considering our current actual situation,
I asked if the money could be used to build wells in various villages to solve the drinking water problem first, but he rejected it, saying that it was a special fund and the money should be used to plant sand-proof saplings?"
Seeing Song Nengjun's expression, Lei Hong knew that the money must not have been used to plant trees, so he asked, "What about the result?"
Song Nengjun said, "As a result, some saplings were planted, but there were only a few dozen saplings, and no money was left at all?"
Lei Hong's teeth chattered in anger, his fists were clenched tightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, he asked, "Did you sign a contract when purchasing this sapling? Who provided it?"
"There is a contract, which is also required by the higher-ups. It is the Oasis Company in Pingxi City." Song Nengjun replied there.
Lei Hong nodded, walked forward without saying anything.
Lei Hong and the others came to a high hillside and looked at the military experimental base surrounded by walls in the distance.
"Talk about your opinions, especially your thoughts on the current development of Lieyan Township," Lei Hong said without looking at Song Nengjun.
Song Nengjun glanced at Lei Hong, and then also looked into the distance.
"The current problems in Lieyan Township are heavy sandstorms, water shortages, and economic backwardness." This is Song Nengjun's summary.
Song Nengjun adjusted for a while and continued, "But the most important thing at present, and what must be solved first, is to solve the problem of drinking water for the people, and then consider economic development. Sandstorms can only be achieved step by step, not overnight. And in the prevention and control of sandstorms
, we cannot simply rely on planting tall trees to control it, it is best to use economical grass as well. Because trees take time to grow, and vegetation is relatively quick to produce results."
Lei Hong nodded, but did not interrupt.
Song Nengjun said, "The management of this environment requires the cooperation of the army. This is also our biggest problem at present, because the army now occupies a lot of deserts where military training is conducted without any greening, so it is impossible to build a layer-by-layer environment."
With the advancement of the epidemic, even if we carry out prevention and control on the periphery, the effect will be insignificant. But this is also the biggest difficulty."
It seems that Song Nengjun has considered the matter and kept it in perspective. He also noticed who was less important and who was more important.
It seems that there must be contact with the military, otherwise as Song Nengjun said, the prevention and control work will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, Lei Hong was thinking there.
“What do you think of other village cadres in the township?”
Lei Hong asked, his tone was flat.
Song Nengjun replied, "They are all pretty good, but due to the limitations of the conditions here, they can only handle some very basic matters."
This is true, how can we carry out work without conditions?
"I see that except for the township chief and you, the deputy chief, all the others here are village cadres. It seems that there is no deputy secretary of the township party committee at all? What's going on?"
Lei Hong continued to ask.
Song Nengjun smiled faintly and replied, "This Lieyan Township is considered by everyone to be hell. Who would want to come here? If anyone comes here, they must have fallen out of favor with the leaders of the county party committee, so it is difficult for the county to deserve anything."
Deputy secretary or something like that. You see, now Mayor Zhuge basically doesn’t come to the village anymore.”
Although Lei Hong was very angry, he didn't say anything. He looked at Song Nengjun and said with a smile, "Then why have you been staying here? Have you never thought about being transferred out?"
Song Nengjun smiled and said, "Nothing? Since I came here after retiring from the army, I have never thought about anything that I can't do without. It would be good to do something for the villagers here as much as I can."
"Oh, you came down from the army?" Lei Hong asked curiously.
Song Nengjun showed a wry smile and nodded.
Lei Hong naturally saw Song Nengjun's expression. He knew that Song Nengjun must have something to hide, so he didn't mention it anymore.
Lei Hong said, "Since you have survived so many years, if you continue to work hard, I believe it won't be long before Lieyan Township will truly develop. It will definitely not be like this now."
Lei Hong's tone was firm and his eyes were firm.
Song Nengbing looked at Lei Hong, didn't say anything, just nodded.
Song Nengbing looked at his watch and said, "Secretary Lei, it's almost time for dinner. Shall we go back to our hometown to have dinner?"
Lei Hong shook his head and said, "No, I have to go to other villages, so I don't need to eat."
At this point, Lei Hong turned to look at Song Nengbing and said, "When you go back, think carefully about the development of Lieyan Township, especially the idea you just had, and then think about it in depth and implement it into specific actions."
Then Lei Hong emphasized, "Also, when you get there, take a look and see which village cadres are worthy of being reused, especially those who have ideas and can endure hardships and stand hard work. You can report them to me when you get there."
Song Nengjun looked at Lei Hong blankly and nodded numbly.
"Drive the car to the army base, let's go there and take a look."
After getting in the car, Lei Hong said to the driver that this driver was recommended by Tie Shaodong, so Lei Hong naturally had no doubts at all.
But Gotze said worriedly, "Secretary Lei, let's not go, right? The relationship between the army and us here is very tense, especially because of the unhappiness caused by the water problem before, do you think?"
Lei Hong did not agree and still said, "Go to the military base."
