Chapter 8 Drawing a Blueprint

【1】

Yesterday, it had just rained, and the villagers could not go to the fields to do farm work, and the villagers who had been working hard for days were finally able to rest at home. But the new branch secretary Zhang Guangming couldn't stay idle. After he went to inspect the situation of the crops, when he saw the seedlings overnight, as if the queen mother used her milk to feed the children who had just recovered from a serious illness, he saw that they were full of spirit, "all of them looked tender and tender." The new branch secretary is also relieved.

On the way here, something very embarrassing happened to him—he was thinking about all the things in the village and did not pay attention to his feet, when one of his feet was suddenly tripped by a pinch of dry branches that had fallen from the firewood stack, and he almost fell on a pile of pig dung soup. Anxious, he muttered in his heart: "Eh, you almost threw me in the mouth and ate!" After he stood firmly, he couldn't help but raise his head to take a look, "Whose firewood and pig manure are piled up on the side of the road outside the gate?" He saw a large pile of leaves, branches, and roots piled up in front of the house of "Qin Banxian", it seems that it was the rain soaking last night that blew the wind, so he blew over these firewood stacks, and the firewood lying on the ground occupied most of the road. There is also a large pile of poultry and livestock manure next to it. This pile of dung was drenched by last night's rain, and it turned into soup, eh, this fishy and smelly disgusting death. He couldn't help but take a closer look at both sides of the road, "Yo, it's not just his dung heap outside the house. He saw that the same was true of every house. He just watched, and his feet stepped on the sheep dung soup again. He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "I'm really embarrassed all the way!" Zhang Guangming was full of worries along the way.

The new party secretary walked into the office of the brigade and used a loudspeaker to inform the cadres of the village committee that they had all come to the brigade for a meeting. He shouted twice in a row, and then sat quietly in his chair, thinking about the chaos that had come. I secretly thought about the saying in my heart: "There is food and clothing, harmony and friendliness, lack of food and clothing, and chaos in the village." How can we ensure a bumper harvest in drought and flood? How can we solve the problem of leaky houses? How can we give awards to model workers in the village if there is no money? All these things need money. So how do you make money? I, the head of the village, have to plan and calculate. He thought about it for a moment and then said, "Yes, hey!" and he laughed twice, and it seemed that the idea king had come up with a good idea.

Zhang Zhishu opened the desk drawer and wanted to find a pen from it to write a work plan. However, there were no pens in it, but there was a box of small crayon tips of various colors. He saw a roll of white paper in the drawer, so he took it out and laid it flat on the table, and began to draw the grand blueprint. After Zhang Guangming finished drawing, he put the crayon head back in the drawer. As soon as his hand left the paper, the paper rolled up.

At this moment, he immediately called Secretary Li of the commune to ask him for instructions: In order to get this poorest village in the county out of poverty, I want to lead the villagers to engage in side business, and I hope Secretary Li will approve it.

Secretary Li lowered his voice and said, I can support you in secret, what do you want to do with a side business? Then Secretary Li said, goodbye!

Zhang Guangming analyzed the profound meaning of the leader's words in his heart, which can be understood as Secretary Li agreeing with my plan to engage in a side business, but in the current situation, he does not dare to take such a big risk.

At this moment, I saw a cadre of the brigade, with his trouser legs rolled up and his feet covered in mud and water, and walked into this small office one after another. The new branch secretary was busy and warmly beckoned everyone to sit down for a meeting.

At the meeting of village cadres, the new branch secretary asked each village cadre to introduce the demands of the villagers and the current situation of the village.

Captain Gui Xiaobao was the first to speak, and he sighed and said: "Hey, now the villagers need to eat and wear warm clothes first, but can we do it? Take last year as an example, as soon as the spring corn in the village was revealed, someone stole it, and peanuts and sweet potatoes were stolen in real time. ”

The village director slapped his left palm on the back of his right hand, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I'm out of tricks!"

The new branch secretary sighed and said: "If the beasts are poor, they will bite, and the villagers are really hungry and eat everything." "But in order to harvest the crops, we must resolutely prevent this phenomenon from happening again this year!" He was deeply disturbed by the poor life of the villagers. He dissected it again and said, "Then we have to find the reason first." I think the reason for the poor life of our villagers is that there is no economic support for a side job! But what about a side job? This problem is a thorny problem. "They all said, yes, the difficulty in our village is the lack of money.

Zhang Zhishu asked, "Then how can I make money by doing a side hustle?" They were speechless for a moment. The new branch secretary immediately unfolded a picture that had been drawn. The members of the team immediately gathered around curiously to watch. I saw that there was a courtyard with an earthen courtyard wall on the map, the courtyard wall was a mud wall, and the outside of the wall was full of lush gourds. Rows of bamboo, rows of maple trees and rows of ginkgo trees are painted in the courtyard. There are also willow and wattle trees. Outside the woods is an earthen kiln, and inside the kiln there are people carving paintings on the left. On the right, there are also weaving workers. The compilers were also divided into several groups - bamboo finishing group, wattle finishing group, wicker finishing group, etc. In the large lotus pond in the south of the village, the water in the painting is divided into a grid by nets, and in each grid of water, a variety of aquatic animals and swimming poultry are lifelike, and it looks as if they are really swimming in the water.

Everyone looked at this painting and was amazed.

They asked:

"Look at our new branch secretary and this craftsmanship, this picture you painted is really good! Do you want to hang it on the office wall?"

"Bright, when did you learn to draw? I didn't think you could paint?"

"It's so realistic, it's good, it's good, you want to hang this picture in your house?"

The new branch secretary happily pointed to the drawing and said, "My father passed on the craft of carving and painting to me, so I learned to paint." This painting is not hanging here either, nor is it hanging in my house. Let's not talk about it, let me tell you about my work plan. Everyone looked down at the drawing, and then looked up at the branch secretary, and their eyes showed doubts. Zhang Zhishu said solemnly, "We have to formulate various rules and regulations for our village, and let the whole village strictly abide by them." For example, rewarding diligence and punishing laziness, punishing evil and promoting good, dealing with dirty and disorderly, building roads and digging wells...... I'm done, will you discuss and discuss to see if you win?" everyone nodded after listening to what Zhang Zhishu said.

"I will talk about the establishment of a carving factory and a weaving factory, as well as the establishment of a fishery for the development of the village. When they heard the plan of the new branch secretary, they were very surprised and said "Ah?" in unison. Gui Xiaobao said, "So your purpose for drawing this picture is here!"

Zhang Zhishu nodded and said very firmly: "Self-reliance, hard work, hard work, hard production, more food, self-sufficiency." "What I said is the call of the party at the moment, and we must respond positively and act immediately. We have to work hard, but we must not work aimlessly. I see that the vegetables and fruits planted now have not yet been maned, so everyone led the members to quickly manure the crops and fields to "increase nutrition". The new branch secretary said earnestly, "I see, the harvest is proportional to the effort, and if you are diligent in managing the fields, you will not worry about the harvest of the crops." Everyone agreed with him.

Then Zhang Zhishu said a few words smoothly: "To get rid of poverty, you must work hard, and you are not afraid to sweat when you jump out of poverty." As long as you are willing to work hard and make your dreams come true!" Everyone nodded thoughtfully as they listened to his philosophical speech.

Gui Xiaobao was full of doubts and was very worried: "Judging from the picture you draw, do you want to set up an engraving factory and a weaving factory, and also set up a fishery......?" What does the commune allow us to do?" the new branch secretary said that he had already consulted Secretary Li, and he meant to support us in our side business, but we had to act secretly.

"What kind of thing doesn't need money? But what can we do if our village is short of money?"

Zhang Guangming said boldly, "Think about it, our village is indeed very difficult, and we can't afford to do a side job." Then I'll advance the funds first. Let's build a large-scale underground carving factory and weaving factory, and we will also run a large-scale fishery. ”

When everyone heard this extremely dangerous and abrupt remark, their eyes widened in shock.

They babbled:

"My mother, are you going to have a side hustle?"

"Oh my God, how much do you have to invest?"

"No matter how much money I invest, I'll figure out a way? I'll think about it, if our village wants to make money, only by finding a way to engage in a side business can we make the village rich! Won't this be able to earn money for digging wells for our village? Won't we be able to repair the dilapidated houses of poor households in the village? Won't we be able to issue prizes to advanced model workers?" After hearing this, they all nodded. "I will first take out the family's money to invest in the village, even if it is my meager contribution to the construction of the village!"

The village cadres all agreed with the grand vision drawn by the new branch secretary.

Zhang Guangming said in a big way at the village committee meeting that he took out his own money to do a side job for the village. But when he returned to his own house, he was troubled. Let's discuss this matter with my wife, I'm afraid that she won't agree, don't discuss, this is not a small amount. He thought about it and decided to give his wife a try. He said, "I want to do a side job in the village, so let's take a look at this picture I drew first." After Li Yue'e watched carefully, she said, your plan is good, but you need a lot of funds, what about now? I'm afraid your plans will fall through. Her husband stared at her face and asked, "Do you think there's any way to do it?"

Li Yue'e blinked, thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I understand, Wen Yad, you want to use the money that our family is going to build a house, don't you?"

Zhang Guangming didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Is there any other way?" Li Yue'e After thinking about it for a while, she said, I think this is the only way. Okay, Wenya Dad, you can take it and invest in the village! Although our house is leaking, then we have to repair it, and we can still live in it. When Zhang Guangming heard this, he wanted to take a sip of honey, which was sweet. He said, "That's it." ”

He looked at the blueprint he had drawn, and he saw the hope for the development of the village.
