Chapter 430 International Friends 6

The convoy left the streets of Hushan Town and followed a simple potholed loess road paved with winding sand towards Cuijiagou, which is located southeast of Hushan Town.

Cuijiagou is located in the southeast of Hushan Town, only three miles away from Hushan Town, is a small village of 100 households, because the village is close to Hushan Town, and is adjacent to the highway, so the economic development of the village is much better than those villages in the mountains of Hushan Town, but even so, there are still many poor families in the village, and the inequality between the rich and the poor is a common phenomenon, which is understandable.

The reason why the village of Cuijiagou was chosen in the spring was also a lot of thought, first, the road to Cuijiagou is easier to walk, although it is a loess road, but there is always a road that can allow the bus to pass, if it is replaced by some villages, not to mention the bus, even the car can not pass, the members of the delegation and leaders at all levels should park the car on the road far away from the village, and then walk into the village, although the situation of the poor families in those villages will be more miserable, but the spring is not sure whether the Japanese friends and leaders at all levels can bear this sin, so the spring of such a choice thinks that Japanese friends and leaders at all levels will be more willing to acceptSecond, when I visited in the spring a few days ago, I found that there was a large vacant land in front of the Cuijiagou Village Committee, which was just enough to park these accompanying vehicles, and if it was changed to another village, parking would be a problem; third, the poor family to be visited today was very representative of the poor students in Hushan Town, this poor student is called Yang Jiachao, the sixth grade this year, studying in the central primary school of Hushan Town, Yang Jiachao's father was paralyzed by illness a few years ago, and his mother left the young Yang Jiachao and left home because she couldn't bear the poverty of the family, and there has been no news since then, Yang Jiachao grew up with her grandmother, and now only Yang Jiachao and her father who is paralyzed in bed are left in the family, and the elderly grandmother, the three of them depend on each other.

No matter how bad the road conditions are and how slow the speed is, the distance of the three-mile road is just a matter of talking.

Spring commanded the police car to drive to the open space in front of the Cuijiagou Village Committee, and the vehicles behind also drove over, lined up in front of the village committee.

The first thing I did after getting off the bus in the spring was to find Qian Jin, director of the Education Commission, and Xu Wenkai, the deputy mayor in charge of education, and specifically reported to them the situation of the poor family we were going to visit today.

Xu Wenkai and Qian Jin both affirmed the approach of spring, and Xu Wenkai asked Song Chunshan, secretary of the party committee, to report the specific situation of Yang Jiachao's family. So, a group of dozens of people walked to Yang Jiachao's house in the south of the village under the leadership of Spring.

It is the busy season of farming, most of the strong laborers in the village go out to work or work in their own fields, there are only a few old people chatting in the shade of the Cuijiagou Village Committee on the street, while busy with the work in hand, while taking care of the children in their respective families, the face naturally reveals a kind of kindness and simplicity, satisfaction and happiness of laughter, everywhere reveals a kind of leisurely and quiet leisure, there is a unique charm of no quarrel with the world and poverty and happiness, people can't help but respect. Some of these old people may have never walked out of the mountains in their lives, and they have never seen the scenery outside the mountains, but they have worked hard in this barren yellow land from generation to generation without regrets, running for survival day after day, and busy for their children.

The roar of vehicles and the barking of dogs in the courtyards of the village caused by the arrival of strangers also disturbed the old people and children who were enjoying their families in the streets. Seeing police cars and a large number of vehicles appearing in the village, and so many well-dressed officials got out of their cars one after another, the old people who were chatting in the streets did not know what was happening in the village, and they all picked up their children, carried their own things, turned around and left in a panic, and disappeared behind the closed courtyard doors in a blink of an eye.

Spring smiled bitterly, the common people are afraid of seeing officials, and they are even more afraid of getting into trouble, this is a practice formed for dozens or hundreds of years, and it is understandable that the villagers do this. It seems that the "diligent administration and proximity to the people" shouted by officials at all levels every day is not just empty words that can be said, but it is necessary to lay down their bodies and do it in a down-to-earth manner. Only when these officials and gentlemen truly treat the common people as their own food and clothing parents, can the common people treat these officials as family members. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the road will still be far before we can get to the point where "the government and the people are like a family".

From the front of the Cuijiagou Village Committee to the house of Yang Jiachao, a poor student, there are more than a dozen rows of houses in the middle, and in the spring he leads a group of people to walk slowly between the village houses. Although Cuijiagou is a relatively wealthy village in Hushan Town, the houses where the villagers live still have all kinds of things, from the earthen thatched houses in the forties and fifties, to the gray tiles and white gray walls in the sixties and seventies, and the red tiles and red brick houses that are fashionable now. This kind of thing is not unusual, and it is common in almost every village in the Toyama area, where the winds of reform have just been blowing. "Let some people get rich first" is one of the strategies of the country's economic reform and development, and it is this part of the people who get rich first that leads the economic development of the poor mountainous areas of Hushan. These villagers, who live in red brick houses and gatehouses, are the representatives of this part of the people who got rich first, and it is these people who have imperceptibly led the development of material and spiritual civilization in the Hushan area.

In the procrastinating procession, the spring suddenly found a very strange phenomenon, those Japanese friends got off the car and began to take pictures around with their cameras, and they were specifically looking for those dilapidated places to shoot, and a few Japanese pointed to the homemade TV antennas erected high in the courtyards of the villagers, curiously asked the translator what this was for, the translation was indispensable and laborious explanation, followed by the Japanese crackling pictures, and there were a few young Japanese chattering and laughter。

Spring couldn't help frowning, although Spring didn't understand what the Japanese were saying, but the performance of these young Japanese people seemed to be a little unscrupulous, and the kind of disdain and arrogance that flashed in their expressions made Spring suddenly feel a little unhappy in his heart. These photos taken by these Japanese will not be used as propaganda to scandalize the Chinese after they go back? Immediately, Spring felt ridiculous for his own thoughts, how could people do such boring things when they came from thousands of miles to send messengers of love and goodwill?
