Chapter 4 Vow to get rid of poverty

【1】

At dawn, Zhang Guangming was woken up by the roaring of many dogs on the street. He immediately put on his clothes, pulled on his shoes, and opened the street door to see that he was stunned. I saw the people of the village walking in groups in the direction of the outside of the village. The young man carried the burden on his shoulder, supporting the old man, and sighed as he walked. Zhang Guangming ran to chase after everyone, and shouted loudly: "Folks, are you going out to escape the famine and ask for food?" Everyone turned their faces to look at him. He came to everyone and said in a loud voice, "Folks, it's not a good idea to leave your hometown and go out to beg!"

And the crowd wept and said:

"Now that my family has eaten all the food, even the leaves and wild vegetables, what can I do if I don't go out to ask for food?"

"If you stay any longer, you'll starve to death!"

"Yes, yes, you see that after the flood, it's still cloudy, and it's going to rain again. If there is a way, we are reluctant to leave our hometown!"

Zhang Guangming listened to their words, and his eyes immediately showed sympathy. He said, "I tell you, it won't rain these days." It will be sunny in less than three days!" everyone looked up at the dark clouds covering the sky, and looked at Zhang Guangming in disbelief. "I still have a lot of sorghum noodles, millet, dried beans, and dried sweet potatoes...... I'll give it to all of you, and for the time being, you'll settle your famine.

As soon as Zhang Guangming's words fell, everyone was overjoyed and rushed to his house like a tide.

Zhang Guangming came to the kitchen to open a warehouse to put grain, and after a while, he finished distributing the grain and dried vegetables at home.

Li Yue'e got up, and as soon as she went out of the house, she saw her husband helping the villagers, and she didn't blame her. She herself immediately went to share the cents and cents she had earned from sewing clothes for others over the years. Everyone was moved to tears by the kindness of Zhang Guangming and his wife. They said words of thanks, and with unexpected gifts, they went home contentedly. Zhang Guangming looked at the backs of the poor villagers and secretly made an oath in his heart: "I will resolutely research new varieties of high-quality and high-yield grain, cotton, and other crops for the village! I must find a way to get the villagers out of poverty and let the villagers have food and clothing!"

Early in the morning, the old branch secretary got up, and he hurried to the brigade to the loudspeaker, and shouted that he would come to the brigade in the morning to hold an election meeting.

The old branch secretary came to the office desk of the brigade, first picked up the phone, reported his illness to Qiu Weimin, deputy secretary of the commune, and asked the commune to send cadres to join him in presiding over the meeting to elect the baton. Deputy Secretary Qiu was very sympathetic to the secretary of the village party branch, who was conscientious and responsible for his work. After discussing with Secretary Li, the head of the commune, he agreed to Song Yongxi's request to abdicate and make way for Xian due to his serious illness. He said that he and Xiao Li would arrive soon.

As soon as the villagers heard the old branch secretary shouting on the loudspeaker, they held a meeting to abdicate and make way for the virtuous. Everyone understands the old branch secretary's retirement due to illness.

The village cadres entered the gate of the brigade one by one, and the masses dragged their feet, each with a straw mat, and sat down with a thin and weak face.

"This village party secretary is a very important position, but it is a big issue related to the future development of this Muyehua Village! Old Song, you don't dare to be handsome at will, you must choose the best and the best!" Qiu Weimin said to Song Yongxi.

"I understand this, I propose to choose among the model workers, don't worry, I know it. The old party secretary turned his face and said loudly and emphatically to the villagers, "Zhang Guangming, a county agricultural technician, is also on the list of electors!" The hard condition for this new party secretary is that he must be a Communist Party member with advanced ideology and high consciousness, master professional agricultural knowledge, be honest and honest, and have a strong sense ......of responsibility.

After Lao Song finished speaking, Qiu Weimin whispered to him, "You are doing it very correctly!" He turned his face and said loudly to the crowd, "Everyone should raise their hands to vote according to the conditions said by the old branch secretary! This is both simple and clear at a glance." ”

The crowd whispered below: "Let's see if the old branch secretary will be nepotistic?"

The old party secretary named the party members one by one and asked the villagers to elect them, but the support rate was not high. When the old branch secretary mentioned Zhang Guangming, the cadres and the masses "uproared" and raised their hands high. Zhang Guangming unexpectedly passed it with a 100% support rate, just and fairly.

Qiu Weimin whispered to Song Yongxi, I know this person because I saw the deeds of him leading the people of Heze County, Shandong Province to plant a bumper harvest of grain and cotton in the Agricultural Science and Technology News. He first cultivated a new variety of high-yield corn, which was made into a scientific film by the province and screened in the province, and now he has cultivated a new variety of cotton with a high yield. I heard from Secretary Li of the commune that it was once again made into an agricultural science and technology film by the province, but it has not yet been screened. Lao Song said that Zhang Guangming is not public, and he didn't mention it to me. Qiu Weimin said happily that Zhang Guangming had won wide acclaim from our peasant friends in the whole province! The old branch secretary nodded excitedly at this time. He patted the hand of the young cadre Qiu Weimin and said, hehe, I didn't see the wrong person, right?

Song Yongxi shouted loudly into the megaphone again: "Next, I would like to invite Zhang Guangming, the new party branch secretary, to speak for everyone!"

I saw Zhang Guangming walking to the table with a subtle smile. The new branch secretary first held the megaphone with his hand, and then glanced at the crowd with a solemn expression, and saw that they were all looking at him with expectant eyes. Zhang Guangming looked at the masses with blazing eyes, and he bowed to everyone first and then to the cadres on the stage with a sincere attitude. Only then did the new branch secretary turn around and say in a firm tone, "I, Zhang Guangming, thank you for electing me as an agricultural technician to be the leader of our village, and I will have the responsibility to lead everyone to overcome obstacles and fly high and far! Today, I am here to make a solemn promise to you: In the future, I will let all the members of the club strictly supervise the village cadres! Then I will now express my heart with a poem! This new branch secretary, who loves poetry and writing, proudly recited a poem:

"Diligent Government for the Village"

I am willing to pull the horse for diligent ploughing, and gallop steadily and forever.

Dare to be a pawn in advance of the wind and rain, and do not be a fly and tiger disaster for the people.

Hand in hand with the villagers to work hard to overcome obstacles.

Overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers, and work together to get rid of poverty.

Turning the tide is not a dream, the majestic magnificence is earth-shattering!

Qiu Weimin listened to Zhang Guangming's sincere verses, looked at each other with Li Jianjian, and then raised his slap in unison. The two of them clapped their hands and said loudly, "Okay! Well said!" The old branch secretary also wanted to shout good, but before the good words could be spoken, his liver hurt so much that he had to stop.

At this time, the new party branch secretary of Muyehua Village was in high spirits. His high-spirited face was sincere. Yin Xishan shouted first, Zhang Guangming, you are using poetry to speak instead of you, old man, I asked you what you mean? Several other old men and old ladies also said the same. Zhang Guangming said, "I'm sorry," and with a powerful movement and a sincere tone, he expounded in more detail the poems and thoughts he had just said and his own thoughts to the masses with three I want and four nevers. "I feel honored that everyone elected me as the head of the village. For the development of the village, I will devote myself to the public, I will be conscientious, and I will serve the villagers wholeheartedly! I will never be a person who acts arbitrarily and arbitrarily; I will never be a bad village official riding on the head of the people; I will never do anything that harms the interests of the villagers; and I will never do anything that harms the public and private interests!" The people of Muyehua Village suddenly looked at each other with shining eyes, exchanged glances, and then straightened up, and threw their blazing eyes at the new branch secretary. The new branch secretary was like a fire that ignited the struggle in the hearts of the villagers, burning in their chests, and the masses nodded heavily and applauded them most warmly in approval. When the new branch secretary saw it, he became even more emotional, and he continued to say enthusiastically, "I want to be transparent and meticulous in the accounts, and never do deception or deception." Please believe me, I will come up with a way to get rich! I will lead everyone to do a great job, a special job, to take off the poor hat!"

"That's right!"

The new branch secretary looked up at the sky and said, "Comrades, let me tell you a great piece of good news, first? I can't say that the sky will be clear in three days, and I will say now that the sun will be hanging in the sky in less than five hours." Everyone couldn't help but look at the dark clouds in the sky and wonder. Zhang Guangming continued, "I will think of saving the crops, everyone can rest assured!" The new branch secretary's loud and passionate poems infected every villager. I heard him say that the sky will soon be clear, and people at this time are like drinking a cup of strong coffee, and they are all full of energy.

The crowd shouted "Good!" Another round of warm applause rang out, and the crowd at this time was excited. Listen!

The mood of the new branch secretary also became more and more excited, and he raised his voice in high spirits and said solemnly: "Comrades! We must work together to engage in production, and the cadres and masses dare to overcome a thousand difficulties." To get rid of poverty, you need to work hard and be a role model!"

The crowd shouted, "Yes, be a role model!" and they all stood up and shouted. Everyone looked at the new branch secretary with excited eyes again.

In order to boost the morale of the peasants, Zhang Guangming said loudly, "As the saying goes, 'The people's hearts will move together,' then we will swear to throw away the poor hat!

When the villagers heard this, their eyes immediately filled with tears of excitement. Everyone stood up in unison and swore loudly and solemnly: "Work hard to change the poor face of Makino Flower Village!"

Qiu Weimin, Li Jianshe and Song Yongxi were also excited.

Zhang Guangming said energetically: "From now on, we will use our hard-working hands as plows." In the "Book of Rites: The Royal System", it is said: "Three years of ploughing, there will be one year of food." As long as you are willing to work hard, please believe that there will always be a harvest if you work hard! You must believe that God rewards hard work! Do you think this is the reason?" the crowd nodded.

"It seems that Old Song, you know how to appoint meritocracy!" Qiu Weimin smiled and praised Song Yongxi in a low voice.

Song Yongxi smiled happily and said, "I am responsible for the villagers, so I have to be as virtuous as you said!"

The election meeting was successfully concluded with warm applause and cheers. Everyone is full of hope for the future development of Makino Flower Village.
