Volume 1 The Long Mountain Road Chapter 20 Take the First Step
Zhou Xiulan was excited, and used all the words she learned from the black and white TV at home: "Oh! Lord Liu, you are a good person, this, how can I thank you?"
Liu Zhengkun was stunned, and hurriedly said: "No, sister-in-law, I am not Lord Liu, I am the director of the Guhe Town Police Station." β
Zhou Xiulan wiped her tears, wiped her hands on her apron, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, director, don't mind, I can't speak in the countryside." β
Qin De walked back and forth in the house twice, turned his head and grabbed Liu Zhengkun's hand and said in a deep voice: "Director Liu......! I'm grateful! But nothing has gone wrong, you don't know what happened to my family these days, ....... Speaking of this, Qin De's nose was sour, and he tried his best to control his emotions, and he didn't finish the rest of the words.
Qin Shanyue took Qin Shanhe's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, father, Brother Dahai is fine!"
Liu Zhengkun looked at the simple furniture and the only black-and-white TV in the house, shook Qin De's hand even harder, and asked, "Where did the sea go?" Why didn't I see him?"
Qin De hurriedly said: "Go to the town, I'll come back to him! β
"Well, let Dahai go to the police station tomorrow and report to me. β
"Thank you, thank you. Qin De couldn't help but thank him.
Qin Shanhe felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and when he saw his mother, he cried, and he was about to cry.
Qin Shanyue took out a piece of candy from her pocket and coaxed: "Xiaohe doesn't cry, eat sugar." β
Seeing the candy in his sister's hand, Qin Shanhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped crying.
Seeing Qin Shanhe's performance, Liu Zhengkun asked puzzledly, "...... this kid?"
"Alas, the river...... Since childhood, there has been a bit of a problem with intelligence, you said that this child is all meat that fell from his mother's body, if his intelligence is not good, he can't do it, just stutter. My family makes the leader laugh!" Qin De said embarrassedly.
"......" Liu Zhengkun was silent, he had also heard a little about Qin Shanhai's family situation from Qinshanhaikou, but he didn't expect it to be difficult to this extent, his throat was like something stuck in the owner, and he couldn't say a word.
"Xiaoyue, hurry up and slaughter the old hen in the nest! I'm happy today! I'll have a good drink with the leader. Qin De commanded.
"Hey. Qin Shanyue answered and walked out the door.
Liu Zhengkun stretched out his hand to stop it, pointed to the leftovers on the wooden table, and choked up: "Brother! To put it mildly, the conditions at home are not very good, and there is a doll waiting for food with an open mouth, what do you eat yourself? These are all corn tortillas and green onions! Even if you kill a hen, can I bear to eat it? Huh?"
Qin De said cowardly: "Leader, where are you talking about this? You came to my house today, that is condescension! What's wrong with eating a stupid chicken? If you don't stay for a drink, where will my old Qin's old face go? The neighbors can't laugh at me?"
Liu Zhengkun was silent for a long time, supported his forehead with both hands, wiped his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay! Brother, today, I won't leave!"
"Well, that's right. Qin De said happily.
Qin Shanyue ran to the chicken nest in the yard to catch chickens, and Zhou Xiulan helped: "I'll go to the village shop to buy a bottle of wine!"
Qin De arranged: "Well, buy a piece of eight, mountains and rivers for aging!"
The chicken was killed, the wine was bought, and Qin De and Liu Zhengkun sat on the wooden bench and chatted.
Zhou Xiulan and Qin Shanyue were busy working in the pot house, the chimney on the roof began to smoke, the pot was burning with firewood, and the chicken began to stew, and there was a circle of white flour cakes around the pot on the ground.
Liu Zhengkun asked Qin Shanhe about the situation in detail, and learned that the child has had intellectual disabilities since he was a child, and now he is eighteen years old and has not improved much.
Liu Zhengkun was well-informed, took out a notebook, and said while jotting down: "I heard that there is that kind of enlightenment school in big cities, although it cannot completely restore normal people, but through learning, it can also make children self-reliant." I have written down this matter, and I will report to the town leaders that the conditions at home are poor, and see if the town can solve some of the expenses!"
Qin De hurriedly thanked him, "If there is really a way to make Xiaohe self-reliant, it is a great thing, I don't dare to think about it, I have received it from a young age to such a big one, and I am used to it, and I am also paralyzed in my thoughts, I always feel that the child cannot be cured, you said this, I have hope again." Leader, you're a good person!"
A pot of chicken was served, and the cake was also loaded with a plate, Qin De opened the mountains and rivers and poured two bowls.
Qin De clinked glasses with Liu Zhengkun from time to time, Liu Zhengkun did not refuse, and really drank a few sips.
The three members of the family all sent the meaty parts of the chicken to Liu Zhengkun politely, only Qin Shanhe was busy gnawing on the chicken legs, sweating profusely in winter!
Liu Zhengkun had mixed tastes in his heart after eating a meal, and thought in his heart, he could do something for this poor and kind family, yes, taking Qin Shanhai well and being a good policeman is the greatest help to this family!
Before leaving, while everyone was not paying attention, Liu Zhengkun stuffed fifty yuan under the rice bowl.
Pushing the bicycle, facing the family standing at the door and waving their hands, Liu Zhengkun turned his head, couldn't bear to look at it again, didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and raised his legs and pedaled on the bicycle.
Zhong Guotao accompanied Mr. Wu to Yanjing on a business trip, the purpose of this trip was mainly to inspect the wood companies here, both in furniture manufacturing technology and sales methods are much ahead of the small county.
The development of the revitalization of the wood industry has reached a bottleneck period, there are log resources, and human resources are enough, but there is still a blank in deep processing.
Mr. Wu knows that from planting saplings to making finished products to sell to consumers, it is a systematic project, from the cutting of trees to the manufacture of timber and transportation, their own companies have their own division of labor, and they can be completed very skillfully.
But how to make high-quality furniture from panels, and then how to sell these furniture, the channels, sales methods, etc., need to learn from the leading companies in the industry, because this is the most profitable head.
The way to revitalize the company's profits now lies in the log resources and the manual labor of employees, and if you want to further develop, you must introduce advanced machinery and technical personnel, and independently complete the integration of production and sales projects, which is the foundation of the industry.
These are all things that Mr. Wu considered, as a driver, Zhong Guotao did not pay much attention to the major events of the development direction of these companies, and he hid some selfishness on this business trip, mainly to find some projects suitable for the old family in these developed cities.
After a conversation with Qin Shanhai, Zhong Guotao felt a lot of emotion, he usually didn't feel anything wrong at home, Qin Shanhai had been a soldier for five years, and after he came back, his hometown had not changed at all except for building a bridge.
The road is still the same dirt road, the houses are still those old houses, the main business of the villagers is still farming, and the younger ones come to the town to do some casual work in their spare time, earning more than 200 yuan a month, even if they have seen the world.
In Shanghe Village, although Zhong Guotao is not led by the Murakami Party, he can be regarded as a relatively lively and advanced thinking among the younger generation. I have always had the idea of finding a way to make the village rich and see the outside world, and this idea is even more determined. On television and in newspapers, it is reported every day which village is in the forefront of becoming rich and well-off, and which village farmers earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. This village has become the richest village in the country, known as "the first village in the world".
The visit went very smoothly, and Mr. Wu was in a good mood, so he wanted to take the opportunity to relax and play for two days.
When you come to the heart of the motherland, you naturally want to appreciate the great rivers and mountains. Let Zhong Guotao drive the car, and the two of them went to climb the Great Wall, see the Forbidden City, and eat some Yanjing's special snacks.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the two to be alone, Zhong Guotao chatted with Mr. Wu about his inner thoughts, Mr. Wu belonged to the first batch of people who became rich after the reform and opening up, so he naturally had deep insight and a unique vision.
After listening to Zhong Guotao's thoughts, Mr. Wu made a sharp evaluation: "Let's talk about the objective conditions first, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads! Your hometown Shanghe Village is at the bottom of our Guhe Town, because what? The biggest reason is because the news is blocked, the transportation is inconvenient, when it rains and snows, not to mention the transportation carts, even the donkey carts can be stuck in the mud.
Zhong Guotao drove the car and couldn't stop nodding, "Mr. Wu, it's difficult to build roads, and it's not something that I can do as a small person, and I can't think about building roads as soon as I come up, everything has to start from small things." β
Mr. Wu was in a good mood, looked at his watch, and said with a smile: "It will take half an hour to get to the place, okay, it's okay to be idle today, then I'll talk to you." β
"Hey. Zhong Guotao responded, staring at the front of the car and listening intently.
Mr. Wu continued: "An enterprise like ours is considered a first-class scale in Shanhe County, but what about here? Today you have also seen, what is the scale here? What grade? How much value has the product been improved? We have experienced decades of wood from planting to finished wood, and how much profit is it to remove the cost of rough processing in our hands? The factory we visited today took our semi-finished products at a low price and went through the factory assembly line, and the money earned was three or five times that of ours! If the company wants to move forward, it must make progress! It is also a principle for peasants to become rich, and it is necessary to change their thinking! However, this change of thinking is the most difficult. β
Zhong Guotao said thoughtfully: "Farmers should farm the land, this is a habit that has been handed down for thousands of years, relying on the land to make a living, thinking that it is a matter of course, because everyone lives like this." β
"Shouting slogans every day about reform and opening up, what is this reform and opening up? To put it bluntly, the first step is to emancipate the mind, get rid of the inherent outdated concepts in the past, take the old farmers in our town as an example, the inherent concept is to plant and harvest, looking forward to a good harvest, eating enough food and not starving is a good life, when the farm is slack, there are many people who do not want to be rich, but do not know how to get rich, the general level of education is low, really let him out of the countryside and leave the crops, except for coolies, there is no better way, so they are willing to farm, as long as there is a good harvest, a year's food and clothing is not a problem, this is also the reason why they dare not take this step, because they are unwilling to break the old model in thinking, more timid and cautiousγ Mr. Wu analyzed.
