Chapter two hundred and fifty seventh gongs and drums
When Shen remembered it, he immediately said to the villagers: "Folks, this is Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee. In order to plan the poverty alleviation in Donggang Village, Secretary Lu will not go back to the county today, but will stay in the village. A symposium will be held to discuss this matter in the evening. Secretary Lu is busy with many things every day and has no time to rest, but his heart is still concerned about the villagers in Donggang Village who have not been lifted out of poverty. Therefore, we should give warm applause to I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Secretary Lu for his love for the people!"
Having said this, he took the lead in applauding. Secretary Chen and Mayor Li also applauded enthusiastically.
The villagers had a look of gratitude in their eyes and wanted to applaud, but they were all carrying things in their hands and couldn't free their hands. For a while, their faces were red and they were at a loss.
Because the villagers could not applaud, the applause seemed a bit sparse.
After applauding, Shen Youbin pointed to the villagers carrying things and said to Lu Ji, these fellow villagers heard that you listed Donggang Village as your poverty alleviation link, and they were very grateful. They also heard that you tonight I am eating in the village, so I spontaneously bring you some local products for you to try. You see----"
Secretary Lu was a little dissatisfied with Shen Youbin's face-to-face flattery behavior, but it was hard to say anything in front of so many villagers, so he could only show a modest smile, hugged the villagers, and said: "Hello, folks! Thank you for your support. It's kind of you to send me so many good things.
However, these chickens, bacon, and pig blood cakes are all fed or made by you with hard work. I can't accept them for free. I have to pay according to the price. I accept your kindness----"
Just as he said this, a deafening sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the entrance of the village opposite.
Then, a large group of villagers came out from the entrance of the village. The villagers in the front were holding gongs, drums, suonas, and flutes, and they were beating and playing hard. The villagers in the back were each carrying something in their hands, including chickens, ducks, geese, and dried fish and bacon. , there are cabbage and cabbage, winter bamboo shoots and vermicelli, pork blood cake and dried beef...
These villagers lined up in a long queue, led by a capable man in his fifties, and went straight to the school gate.
At this time, Qing Tao, Chi Dahua and other leaders also heard the sound of gongs, drums and noise outside. Not knowing what happened, they all ran out of the teacher's office where they were resting, stood next to Secretary Lu, and looked at that person in surprise. A long line of villagers came this way.
The team of villagers stopped at the intersection, and after the drums and drums died down, the capable village party secretary trotted up to Secretary Lu, bowed to Secretary Lu, and said with a smile: "Hello, chief! I am the party secretary of Donggang Village, my surname is Ye , called Ye Zhihui.
I would like to thank the chief for his concern for our Donggang Village, and also thank the leaders at all levels of the city and county for their efforts to alleviate poverty in our Donggang Village. Just now, Director Xie of the village committee and I went to each village group to convey the message of Secretary Lu to our Donggang Village. The good news of being listed as a poverty alleviation linkage point. The villagers were all happy and grateful. In order to express their gratitude to the chief and leaders, everyone spontaneously gathered together and brought some local specialties for the chief and leaders to try. Give it a taste and hope the leaders won’t dislike it.”
As he said that, he turned around and waved to the villagers behind him. Several villagers spread a few thick plastic sheets on the ground, and those villagers who were carrying things lined up and put the things they carried on the plastic sheets. , several large plastic sheets were piled up in an instant.
Secretary Lu took a look at the things. There were more than a dozen chickens, ducks and geese, a dozen pieces of bacon, a few golden river fish, a lot of vermicelli, and dozens of pig blood cakes. In addition, there were winter bamboo shoots, cabbage, and cabbage. , pickles and other side dishes, you can almost open a small food store...
Looking at the villagers again, I saw that they all had sincere and simple smiles on their faces. They were all cautious when putting things on the plastic sheet, and looked extremely pious - obviously, they were all sincere. Sincerely thank him as the provincial party secretary who has brought them hope of getting rich, and use this method to express their inner gratitude...
Thinking of this, Secretary Lu was a little excited inside, and said in an emotional tone: "Folks, thank you very much for your kindness! My name is Lu Zhiyao, and I came to Wantou Town and Donggang Village for research today. To be honest: During my investigation and visit, I saw that there were so many poor households in Donggang Village and so many fellow villagers who had not solved the problem of food and clothing. I felt really uncomfortable. I also felt that I had a heavy burden and a lot of pressure!
Now, our country is moving towards the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. However, Donggang Village has not yet been lifted out of poverty. This is an issue that our party committees and governments at all levels should pay attention to and reflect on. The reason why I want to list Donggang Village as our The poverty alleviation linkage point is to use this method to attract the attention of departments at all levels to the poverty situation in Donggang Village, and provide funds, technology, and ideas for the village-level economic development of your village through various assistance measures. Provide policies to help everyone get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. Moreover, I also want to promote the economic development of the entire Bayou Town through the development of your village, and strive to narrow the gap between Bayou Town and the developed areas in the eastern part of Xinlang County, so that everyone can Under the guidance of the party’s good policies, we can get rid of poverty and backwardness as soon as possible and become rich and well-off together!”
Having said this, he glanced at the chicken, duck, fish, and other dishes on the ground, and said sincerely: "The villagers brought so many good dishes to me and my comrades in the city and county today, and I was really touched. However, I know that your family is not rich, and you have worked hard to feed these dishes or work in the fields. Maybe you are reluctant to eat them yourself. Therefore, today we only need to buy one or two chickens here. , a few other dishes are enough for one meal. Please take the rest back. I would like to express my gratitude to the folks again!"
After the Ye Zhiji finished speaking, he blushed and shouted: "Chief, this is not okay. The folks brought the things sincerely. By accepting them, you are looking up to our folks in Donggang Village. ; If you don’t accept it, it will be hard on everyone’s face!”
Ye Ming saw that Party Secretary Ye was not leaving any room for words, and it was probably difficult for Secretary Lu to answer: Accept it, it is indeed a bit intolerable, and it goes against his principles; don't accept it, it is difficult to refuse the kindness, and it will be considered by the villagers. Secretary Lu looks down on their local products...
After imagining Secretary Lu's difficulties for him, Ye Ming thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of an idea. He leaned his head over and whispered a few words in Secretary Lu's ear.
Secretary Lu said "Oh" and looked at him a few times in surprise. With a satisfied smile on his face, he said, "Okay, let you say it then!" m
