Zheng Huailiang laughed: "Zhenhua, don't be discouraged, this time you were pushed to power, of course, because you are relatively good, graduated from high school, and have been a party member for several years." Don't worry, although I am no longer the village party secretary, I can still be a staff officer for you, and I will definitely help you to the horse!"

Zhenhua smiled: "Thank you, Secretary Zheng, but I don't care personally, it's better to do something for the villagers, if it's really difficult to perform, resign and go out to work." ”

The village cadres do not have much salary, one or two hundred yuan a month, which is about the same as that of private teachers, and the salary of village cadres is very untimely, and it is often settled once a year, just like the work of a bricklayer. Once he was dismissed, he had no retirement salary, and he was still beaten back to his original form, and he was still a farmer who repaired the earth.

Therefore, in terms of personal income, the identity of a village cadre is not very attractive to Zhenhua.

"Look, you see, you are discouraged before you start, this is not your original intention of the three alliances!" Zheng Huailiang patted Zhenhua's shoulder and said, "In the next few years, I will help you plan it first." ”

When it comes to the three knots, Zhenhua's heart is melancholy.

The weight of life gradually wore out the pride of the teenager. A few years ago, I and Xiulian Qi Lei both felt that they were heroes who caught the dragon and the tiger, and there was a golden avenue in front of them, as long as they worked hard, they could soon change themselves and change their hometown. Looking at the bumpy reality now, recalling the pride at the beginning, it is so naïve!

Zheng Huai lit a cigarette and said, "The gentleman hides the weapon in his body and moves when the time comes." Your instrument is your ideals and ambitions at the time of the three righteousness, understand?"

Zhenhua calmed down and nodded: "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely fight for the goal of the original three knots." ”

Zheng Huailiang nodded approvingly and said, "If you have this goal, it will be easy to do in the future." During the three-year employment period, you don't want to do big things, do your job well. In the election in three years, you will have to fight for the position of village chief. In three years, you will be in your thirties, and you will be able to fight for the position of village party secretary. At that time, the long tassel in hand is your chance to show your ambitions. ”

Zhenhua sneered: "This plan is too long-term, six or seven years later, who knows what the situation is?"

Zheng Huailiang patted Zhenhua's shoulder: "You stabilize your heart, hide your edge for the time being, work hard, and I will protect you all the way." If you don't understand anything about the relationship between village affairs and village cadres, you can always come and ask me. ”

This conversation has benefited Zhenhua a lot, which has not only strengthened his confidence, but also no longer confused.

The training of militia battalion commanders officially began, and instructors from the county people's armed forces department and the armed police garrison conducted military skills training for this group of young militia battalion commanders.

In fifteen days, Zhenhua endured a lot of hardships, and also learned a lot of military knowledge and theoretical knowledge, such as queue formation, firearms fighting, first aid, rescue and so on.

After the training, there was an assessment, Zhenhua was born as a teacher, and he absorbed and digested theoretical knowledge quickly, and the theoretical examination was very good, and he won the third place in the county. The comprehensive results are ranked ninth in Zhenhua County.

There are more than 400 administrative villages in the county, and it is not easy to win the top ten.

The county awarded certificates and trophies to Hedong Town and Dongwan Village, as well as Zhenhua personally.

When the good news came, the township was taken aback, but they didn't expect this honor!

Ge Shoudao and He Naiping were even more ecstatic, glad that they had chosen the right person with their discernment and vision. If the original militia battalion commander Ge Shouwen is allowed to go to the training, it is estimated that the ninth from the bottom is about the same.

Zheng Huailiang was also happy for Zhenhua, he knew that Zhenhua's cadre status was stable. Although it is hired, but this time I won the honor, which is equivalent to automatic regularization, and no one can shake the foundation of Zhenhua.

After the training, Zhenhua also had specific work goals: to rectify the militia team in the village, train and train the soldiers, and prepare for the county's militia competition after the autumn.

The two levels of government in the village attached great importance to the militia competition after the autumn, and were also optimistic about Zhenhua, so they elected him as the representative of Hedong Town, organized the basic militia of Dongwan Village, and went all out to deal with this task.

Zhenhua also knew his weakness in the military, and after discussing and studying with the village committee, he decided to recruit veterans from the village in recent years to help him train his own soldiers.

Among the ten key militiamen, four are regular soldiers who have been discharged in the past two years, which gives Zhenhua confidence.

Not long after the training, the mid-season farming began again.

Village cadres do not have to sit on duty, and they are no different from other peasants in the busy farming season, and they are busy with their own affairs at home.

After the noon harvest, it is rice planting and fetching water to fight drought.

Zhenhua's tractors and water pump equipment came in handy again, helping the villagers to fetch water and fight drought, earning thousands of hard money.

But these meager incomes are still a drop in the bucket for Zhenhua's debts. The wages he guaranteed had been paid off, but he owed money to his relatives.

Zhuang Xiaodie was even more miserable, all the income from the afternoon season was used to pay off the debt, so that there was no money to buy the seeds and fertilizers planted in the afternoon, and Zhenhua still guaranteed the credit.

The agricultural tax retention, Zhuang Xiaodie has no money to give, and owes all of it.

Zhenhua approached Ge Shoudao and He Naiping and asked them to give Zhuang Xiaodie some relief and then a grace period.

Ge Shoudao said with a smile: "If you reduce it, you can't be lenient, and if you don't reduce it, you can't reduce it." Whether it's a reduction or a grace period, I don't think Zhuang Xiaodie has any money to give, so just let it go, and drag it out for a day. ”

Since it can be delayed, Zhenhua is not worried and continues his training work.

The militia team of Dongwan Village is the representative of Hedong Town to participate in the militia competition, so the township has allocated 4,000 yuan and some special materials for the training of soldiers in Dongwan Village.

The subsidy standard for each militia participating in the training is 10 yuan a day, and Zhenhua is the battalion commander, 12 yuan a day. In this way, it is indeed higher than the salary of village cadres.

Zhenhua calculated the accounts and felt that the funds could not be used up, so he asked the village party secretary and the director to discuss whether he could borrow three or five hundred yuan from this money to buy a batch of cement culverts for the repair of the machine farming road in the autumn.

To repair the mechanized farming road of the third group of Dongwan, four culverts are needed, which Zhenhua and Gao Sanye have calculated and planned.

Ge Shoudao shook his head: "The militia training funds are earmarked, and they are used in other places, and if they are known from above, they will criticize us." If you don't win a prize in the winter militia competition, the township will think that it is the result of your transfer of funds. So, this one doesn't work. ”

Zhenhua said: "But I am in charge of the village affairs of the 1234 group in Dongwan, and if I don't do anything at all, I will collect agricultural tax retention and family planning fines all day long, and the villagers will have opinions about me." When I take office as a new official, I always have to do something for the villagers, right? I just want money all day long, and if we don't do anything, we will lose the mass base!"

After being a village cadre for two months, in Zhenhua's view, the main task of village cadres at this stage is to ask the villagers for money. Agricultural taxes, retention funds, family planning fines, reminders for public grain, and sometimes cotton collection, as well as organizing peasants to work voluntarily......

And what did the village cadres do for the villagers? Hardly!
