Fang Damei and Qian Jun went to Songlintuo Village to handle matters.
Guo Rongrong pulled Zhang Jing from the elevator to room 2178. The two started talking intimately again.
"Zhang Jing, we can rest assured that Fang Damei will handle the matter over there. But I need your help on the matter here." Guo Rongrong said. "I heard that you are from Songlintuo. I thought.
You passed the examination from this village back then. So you are very clear about the people and sophistication of this village. The next step for us to enter the role is to do our homework well. Otherwise, if we rush in rashly, the scene today is likely to happen again.
The Forestry Academy is here to help the poor, but they are still so resistant. We are here to do business in the B&B, and they will blackmail us. Understanding some of the situation is not enough. How can we prevent those villains from falling in love with them after entering the village?
Of course, what I have to do is not to cause trouble to Qi Dazhi. More importantly, if we want to gain a firm foothold in Songlintuo, we must do our homework. We are not familiar with the place here, so we all relied on your help to introduce it.
Today we two sisters will have a good chat."
Zhang Jing said, "You can't blame us Songlintuo people, because our place has been poor and backward for too long. Since we are a high-altitude village, the surrounding villages have become rich. Only our village is still like this.
Poverty. When it comes to poverty, life is actually much better than before. At least we don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and we have no problem with food and clothing. We, the older generation, depend on the weather for food, and we don’t have one meal after another. Compared with now, of course,
I feel complacent. And because it is at a high altitude, it is not easy for people in the village to go out, so they do not accept new things outside, which is also an important reason why we are struggling on the poverty line."
Guo Rongrong said, "The high altitude is one of the reasons. The direct result is that there is less contact with the outside world. Isolation is definitely not allowed. The main reason for poverty comes from isolation. This is understandable. The elderly are contented and often happy or self-sufficient.
A self-sufficient economy. This is all understandable. But what about young people? Can young people endure such a situation?"
Zhang Jing replied, "Many people recognized the situation here in the 1980s and 1990s and couldn't bear it. When they were younger, they took the exam to study. When they were older, they went to work. Whether it was to take the exam or work,
Everyone wants to escape from this closed mountain village. Of course, there are very few people who are eager to learn, like me and Qi Dazhi. Since the opening of the country 40 years ago, dozens of young students have indeed passed the exam. But no one has returned to their hometown. It is useless.
They used the knowledge they learned to build their hometown. Those who stick to their hometown are their parents, their wives and children. The old, weak, sick and disabled are the current situation of those left behind. In the village of more than 2,000 people, there are still four to five hundred
People. Apart from the elderly, children, and left-behind women, what else are there?”
Guo Rongrong said, "People are the center of everything. Without people in the village, there will be no vitality. It is impossible to get rid of poverty. The people who go out to work can get rid of poverty one by one, but it does not mean that the whole village has got rid of poverty."
There are also many people who have given their lives outside and abandoned their wives and children in the village. These left-behind women and children have no outside income and are cut off from their relatives outside. Then the women become widows and the children become
Orphans are even more impoverished. This is understandable. Who has made money outside? Are they willing to return to that conservative, backward, poor mountain village? These are some basic situations I learned when I was working on poverty alleviation in other remote mountainous areas.
I don’t know if that’s the case here.”
Zhang Jing said, "You are absolutely right. One thing that is different here from other places is that there is a family that remembers interests. One of the larger families in this village is the Ma family. Ma Tiesuo, director of the village committee,
He is the representative of family interests. Why can he be the village director? Because there are now four to five hundred people in the village. There are more than 200 people in Lao Ma's family, accounting for an absolute majority. During the audition for the village committee director, he
He was the only candidate to be elected. In order to complete the election, the township government did the work of the other two families. Only then did three candidates come together to complete the election. For elections held every four years, the village committee is
It happened like this. Don't you think this is child's play? Can the person elected in this way wholeheartedly represent the people and embark on the road to wealth? He came out to be the director of the village committee, and the villagers gave instructions to exercise their rights. But in order to complete the election work
, the township government and township leaders seem to be begging him. This is the current situation at my grassroots level. Everyone is a little helpless!"
Guo Rongrong said, "So where is the party branch in this village? Where is the party branch secretary?"
Zhang Jing said, "There are not many party members in this village. The old party secretary has been working for more than 30 years. In the early days of reform and opening up, the old party secretary was still in his 40s and 50s. He led everyone to break away from the big pot and carry out joint production contract responsibilities.
The problem of food and clothing has changed from not having enough to eat to solving the problem of food and clothing. Therefore, the old party secretary has a very high WeChat account in the village. But living in a high-altitude village all year round, the old party secretary has also suffered from many kinds of geriatric diseases. He goes to the hospital every three days.
Where can I still have the energy to do the village work? But I can’t choose anyone else to be the branch secretary. The actual work in the village depends on such a village committee director. Because he is young, everything is decided by Ma Tiesuo
Calculate."
Guo Rongrong said, "Then Qi Dazhi comes to serve as the first secretary in the village. The biggest resistance will definitely come from Ma Tiesuo."
Zhang Jing said, "This man is really interesting. He has a pleasant appearance on the surface. He is about the same age as me and Qi Dazhi. It should be said that we grew up together. It turns out that his father is the director of the village committee of this village."
Eight years ago, when he was just in his early 20s, he took over his father's job. He was elected as the director of the village committee. He was re-elected as soon as he started. This is his third term. Who said that he is still under 30 years old?
He is a veteran cadre? Not only is he young and energetic, but he also knows how to deal with the world. Many people in Lao Ma's family look at his face when doing things. He also has a lot of people around him from top to bottom, and many people speak for him."
Guo Rongrong said, "Then I understand that Qi Dazhi must be working very hard."
Zhang Jing said, "On the surface, you can't tell that he is the biggest obstacle. Moreover, his stance is very firm and his words are sonorous and powerful. He does not come forward in everything. How many people in his family come forward? One
On the one hand, he protects the interests of their Lao Ma family, and on the other hand, he wants to take advantage of the village collective. He still speaks in a very high-sounding way, but he will definitely be biased towards members of his own family. This secret has been made public in the village. No one can
Change this situation."
Guo Rongrong said, "Then I want to change this situation."
Zhang Jing said, "What are you going to do to change it?"
Guo Rongrong said, "Profits. Farmers are the most economical. We treat people from his family equally as well as people from other families. We pay wages to everyone we recruit. The houses we rent are all for rent. I
Don’t you believe that he can still stop us from facing the other side?”
Zhang Jing said, "But if he knows that you came through Fang Damei's relationship, he will know that you are related to me and Qi Dazhi. He will definitely try his best to set up obstacles."
Guo Rongrong said, "So Fang Damei is right, we will not go through your relationship. We will find a way to establish contact with Ma Tiesuo and do business through his relationship. Let him not only not set up obstacles for us, but also give us the green light."
.”
Zhang Jing said, "Did you talk to me today to find this key to open the iron lock?"
Guo Rongrong said, "This metaphor is really vivid."
Zhang Jing said, "But, I want to remind you. After you establish contact with him and enter the village with his relationship, you will be rejected by other families. This is the reality of family power in the village. In this reality, you must not
I don’t admit it. So you have to rely on his relationship to get in, but you can’t get very close to him. This requires an artistic grasp. Director Guo, I see that you have been in business for so many years, and you must be a master in this aspect.
.”
Guo Rongrong said, "I hope so. Another situation I want to know is what is the total population in the village? How many permanent residents are there currently? How many houses are empty. Which of these empty houses can we use to build B&Bs?
?”
Zhang Jing said, "The total population of the village should be 2,700. The current permanent population is less than 500. There should be more than 1,400 households. There should be no less than 700 to 800 empty-nest houses. If you want to make a B&B movie,
There may not be a few pieces, but interspersed together, there are still a lot of resources. Some houses have been built for many years, and no one has ever lived in them. They are all people who work outside, earn money outside, and go home to repair the house.
The family went out to work again. Because the quality of life in the village was so poor, they had to go out. If you had never gone out to work and didn’t know what it was like outside, you would just make do with it here. Usually outside
People who have worked and enjoyed life outside will not stay here, or stay here for a long time."
Guo Rongrong said, "Is there anyone who is particularly popular?"
Zhang Jing said, "Qi Dazhi's father is Qi Laoshuan. I guess you can't use this person. Qi Dazhi won't let his father do this with you. Apart from him, among the younger generation, basically
There is no one left. As for someone who can make things happen, Ma Tiesuo’s fourth aunt is a character. Not only is she very popular with the Ma family, but other neighbors also comment that she is a warm-hearted person. "
Guo Rongrong said, "Is this person educated?"
Zhang Jing said, "This man is already in his forties. He should be a junior high school student. I wonder how much knowledge he has given back to the teacher, and how much does he have left for himself?"
Guo Rongrong said, "As long as you have a cultural foundation."
Zhang Jing said, "Then he's fine."
Guo Rongrong said, "This is a suitable candidate. Let him come forward, and we will have a manager in charge of operations. Isn't this a good match?"
Zhang Jing said, "You have entered the role now."
Guo Rongrong said, "It won't work if you don't hurry up. Fang Damei is anxious."
Zhang Jing said, "You have a really good relationship with our husband."
Zhang Jing said, "Sisters can be so honest with each other. I really envy you."
Guo Rongrong said, "Because he has taken the lead in doing things, we have to protect him."
Zhang Jing said, "If you say this, I admire our husband even more."
While the two were chatting lively, Zhang Jing's phone rang.
Zhang Jing said to Guo Rongrong, "I'm sorry, sister, I'll answer the phone first."
Xiaoyun's urgent voice came from the phone, "Xiaojing, come back quickly. Neither me nor Xiaojie can stop us. I don't know what Ma Tiesuo said to Qi Dazhi on the phone. Qi Dazhi insisted.
We can’t go back to the village. What do you think we should do?”
Zhang Jing said into the phone, "Just wait, I'll go back right away, be sure to stop him first."
After saying that, Zhang Jing hung up the phone.
Guo Rongrong asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Jing said, "Something happened, Qi Dazhi has to go back to the village."
Guo Rongrong said, "Why did something happen again?" This chapter has been completed!
