A week later, Jintan Village welcomed a special group of 'guests'.
In the early morning, Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu arrived at the entrance of the village early, waiting for the arrival of the delegation. This time the delegation included leaders from the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office and poverty alleviation cadres from Fujian Province.
Some time ago, the second joint meeting of Fujian-Ningbo Counterpart Poverty Alleviation Cooperation was officially held in Yinchuan. The meeting proposed the establishment of an immigration demonstration zone in the Yuquanying area as a window and platform for Fujian Province's counterpart assistance.
Diaozhuang households from the Xihaigu area will later move to this demonstration area to settle.
Finally, after discussions between the leaders of the two provinces, it was decided to establish the immigration demonstration zone near Jintan Village. At the same time, Jintan Village was officially upgraded from a village to a town.
In order to commemorate the cooperative relationship between Minning and Ningxia provinces in counterpart assistance, Jintan Village was renamed ‘Minning Town’.
The first mayor of Minning Town was Ma Defu, the former party secretary of Jintan Village. The secretary who worked with him was also an old acquaintance, Zhang Shucheng, the former director of the Yuquanying Development Zone Office, took over this important task.
Time passed slowly, Zhang Shucheng saw the sun rising higher and higher, and couldn't help but look down at his watch.
8:50!
If nothing else, the inspection team should arrive in about ten minutes.
"Defu, you are relatively familiar with this place. Behave well later and show off the charm of our Yuquanying area!"
Ma Defu nodded with a smile. A few years later, he is no longer what he used to be. He is no longer the reckless young man who was nervous when he went on stage.
Over the years, he has lost count of how many inspection groups he has received. He has met county magistrates, mayors, and even senior officials.
Therefore, his heart was very peaceful.
"Um."
Not long after, I saw a blue and white bus driving on the cement road in the distance. Upon seeing this, Zhang Defu immediately said to Ma Defu who was standing aside.
"Defu, the car is here."
At the same time, a middle-aged woman with gold-rimmed glasses sitting in the car was looking at everything around her curiously.
The village in front of her was obviously different from the villages she had seen during this period. Judging from the two-way, two-lane cement road under her feet, although this road was very common in Fujian Province.
But where is this place?
She read the information before coming here. A few years ago, this place was a deserted Gobi Desert!
In just a few years, a standard cement road with a length of 70 kilometers was built. Most of the investment in this road was made by Jintan Village itself, and the other 40% was shared equally by the county and province.
In addition, although she had just arrived here not long ago, the Tan mutton produced in Jintan Village was introduced to her ears.
She is not a person who likes food. Before coming to Ning Province, she had never heard of the name "Tan Yang".
The first time she heard the word "Tan Yang" was at the welcome meeting on the day she arrived in Ning Province.
Originally, mutton only gave her senses of "smell" and "smell". As an authentic Fujianese, she didn't like this kind of food very much.
However, after she ate a dish of plain mutton in clear soup at the welcome party, her senses changed.
After being cooked, the Tan mutton is tender and not smelly. Even without dipping sauce, the taste is extremely delicious. Eating a piece of white-cut mutton and drinking a sip of the mutton clear soup is really the original soup.
"Director Wu, we're just ahead."
At this moment, the broad-faced man sitting next to the woman pointed to the square not far away and reminded him with a smile.
After hearing the broad-faced man's words, the woman came back to her senses and replied with a smile.
"Director Sang, this place is indeed different from other places."
When the woman spoke, the broad-faced man immediately cheered up and listened attentively. His intention was not because the woman had a higher official position than him. After all, no matter how high the official position was, others were still cadres from other places and had nothing to do with him.
The reason for this is that although the woman spoke Mandarin, the other person's Mandarin accent was very strong, and it was full of Hu Jian's flavor.
In every conversation, Director Sang had to listen attentively. At this point, he had to rely on half-guessing, and he often misunderstood the other party's meaning, causing a lot of jokes.
This time, Director Wu spoke very slowly. Director Sang finally understood and said with a little emotion.
"Yes, Jintan Village is indeed the one here."
As he spoke, Director Sang slowly gave a thumbs up, and then he changed the topic.
"I feel ashamed to say that our contribution to Jintan Village is very small. Most of their achievements are achieved through their own efforts. We only provide a little bit of insignificant help."
Director Wu smiled slightly and did not answer the question. She only thought it was the local officials' self-effacement.
Without the strong support of the local government, how could an immigrant village achieve such outstanding achievements in just a few years?
To be honest, she didn't believe it.
laugh!
Accompanied by the hissing exhaust sound, the car parked steadily in the square of Jintan Village.
Director Sang from the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office, as the leader of this inspection group, stood up first and said with a gesture of help.
"Director Wu, please!"
Director Wu was not polite, nodded with a smile, and got out of the car first without hesitation.
Then, Director Sang and the rest of the group also filed out.
As soon as the inspection team got off the bus, Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu came up to greet them and greeted them warmly.
“Welcome all leaders to Jintan Village!”
This is not the first time Director Sang has come to Jintan Village. He came once the year before last and the year before last. The year before last, he came with the secretary. Last year, he came with senior officials. Among the reception members at that time
There are Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu.
Therefore, he was no stranger to the two of them. After the meeting, Director Sang took the initiative to introduce them to Director Wu.
"Director Wu, let me introduce to you. This is Director Zhang Shucheng from the Development Zone Office, and will also be the first secretary of Minning Town in the future. The person next to him is Ma Defu, the party secretary of Jintan Village. In the future, he will work with
Zhang Shucheng formed a team together and served as the first mayor of Minning Town."
"Hello!"
"Hello!"X2
After some pleasantries, Zhang Shucheng took the initiative to move half way to the side.
"Comrade Defu has been working here for six years and almost watched Jintan Village being built brick by brick. In terms of familiarity, he is more familiar with it. He will explain it to the leaders next."
Upon hearing this, Director Wu couldn't help but cast his eyes on Ma Defu behind Zhang Shucheng.
Ma Defu is the village party secretary of Jintan Village. Anyone who has read relevant information will know this person, and the same is true for Director Wu.
She was mostly curious about the young man in front of her.
In the relatively poor Yuquanying area, Jintan Village definitely stands out from the crowd. Looking at the neat and clean streets and modern factory buildings in front of you, this place does not look like a small village in a backward and remote area at all, but more like the southeast coast.
