Chapter 24: Stress and Helplessness

Someone whispered, "Hmph, maybe, she became the secretary by that." ”

"Is it that the money for road construction has been embezzled by them?"

Lei Xiaobo couldn't listen to it anymore, stood up with a sigh, and said to the people in the carriage: "Don't talk nonsense, is it okay to wronged people? Secretary Guo is the former secretary of the Ao Village branch, but she has been in office for less than a year. For a year, she has been reflecting on the matter of this road, but there is no money to build the road. Today, she went to the township to submit an application for road repair. In addition, the village is already thinking of a way, if there is no more money above, the village is ready to raise funds to build the road itself. ”

Guo Fengping listened to Lei Xiaobo's words, and his depressed mood brightened. This young man is very sensible, and in addition to helping me out, he can also take credit for me. She looked up and looked at him gratefully, liking the younger brother's assistant all the more.

"Oh, that's right. Someone immediately greeted him and said, "Secretary Guo, I'm sorry, we don't understand the situation." ”

The black-faced man who had just cursed said, "Why am I angry? Because my motorcycle has fallen on this section." The year before last, I broke two ribs and cost tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses.

Guo Fengping felt very guilty, stood up and said to everyone: "Fellow countrymen, I'm sorry, we also feel ashamed of this road, and feel guilty for the inconvenience and disasters caused to you by this road, and we are trying to find a way to solve this problem, please give us a little more time." ”

"How about giving you another year?" shouted the black-faced man.

Guo Fengping didn't dare to express his stance and went to see Lei Xiaobo. Lei Xiaobo nodded at her confidently, and she boldly replied: "We strive to repair this road within a year." ”

A few applause were found in the car. This is an encouragement, an urging, and a pressure, and Guo Fengping's desire to build the road is even more urgent.

At ten o'clock, we arrived at the Yangshu Township Government. The seat of the township government is on a relatively flat plain at the foot of the mountain, which is not very large. On both sides of the road are a row of uneven buildings, the highest of which is five or six floors. On the ground floor of the building are some shops, and above are all houses. This is the street of the township, it is too basic.

They found a printing shop in the town, and Lei Xiaobo took out a USB flash drive and printed out the road repair report. Guo Fengping took out the official seal of the village from his bag, stamped it on it, and walked out towards the township government.

On the west side of the township, the township government has a courtyard built with brick walls, and two wooden plaques are hung on both sides of the courtyard gate, one belongs to the township party committee and the other belongs to the township government. There is a wide cement road at the entrance of the courtyard, and at the end of the cement road is a partial five-story office building. The office building is small, gray and shabby.

Guo Fengping took Lei Xiaobo to walk in from the gate of the township government, walked into the office building familiarly, and then walked up to the second floor, and walked to the easternmost township mayor's office. The road was in the hands of the government, so they went to the township chief.

In the office of the township chief, which is relatively clean, there is a desk that is not too big or small. At the desk, there sat a middle-aged man who was somewhat bald. Guo Fengping walked in with a dignified face, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hello, Township Chief Wu." ”

Seeing that it was her, Chief Wuxiang hurriedly stood up and said enthusiastically: "Oh, it's Secretary Xiao Guo, please take a seat." He looked at Lei Xiaobo, who was following behind, and asked suspiciously, "Is he?"

Guo Fengping said: "He is a college student village official sent to our village from above, named Lei Xiaobo, who just came. ”

Lei Xiaobo stepped forward politely and said, "Wuxiang is good. ”

Township Chief Wu shook hands with him: "Comrade Xiao Lei, Secretary Xiao Guo, sit down." ”

Township Chief Wu let them into the reception area and went to make them tea. Lei Xiaobo really walked into the government for the first time, and the township government was the most basic government organ, but Lei Xiaobo, who had just graduated from university, still felt a little mysterious and a little restrained. His position is the assistant to the village party secretary, and his immediate boss is Guo Fengping, and his boss should be the secretary of the township party committee. The township chief was his indirect boss, but he still straightened up, sat respectfully on the edge of the three-person sofa, quietly looked at the township chief Wu, and waited for Guo Fengping to speak.

He wanted to judge the character and style of Township Chief Wu from his demeanor. Wuxiang Chang is of medium stature, with a square face and good facial features. It is no different from ordinary township cadres, and there is the temperament of a cadre in morale. It's just that the head is a little bald, and the middle is shiny like a light bulb. Coupled with his piercing eyes, Note looks a little shrewd and cunning.

"Secretary Xiao Guo, is there anything wrong with coming to the township today?" Township Chief Wu made tea for them, brought it over, put it in front of them, and asked seriously.

He was in his forties and looked a little older than he really was. Guo Fengping is the youngest village branch secretary in the township, so everyone calls him Secretary Xiao Guo.

"Township Chief Wu, it's still for the sake of the mountain road in front of our village. Guo Fengping sat on the three-person sofa and said with a serious face, "I have come to reflect many times, and I have applied for it several times." If we don't repair it, the people will complain, and they will scold us to death. Just now in the car, I was scolded by a bus of passengers so much that I couldn't raise my head. ”

Township Chief Wu frowned slightly and listened quietly.

"Assistant Lei, you give the report to Township Chief Wu. Guo Fengping turned his head and said to Lei Xiaobo. Lei Xiaobo took out the report from his bag, handed it to Township Chief Wu, and said a little timidly: "Township Chief Wu, the mountain road in front of Qianao Village is really bad. On the day I reported to the village, the bus was so upside down that it almost overturned. ”

Township Chief Wu took the report, looked at it hurriedly, and said, "The report is written at a high level, who wrote it?" Guo Fengping said: "Assistant Lei wrote it." Chief Wu said: "It's not a college student, but there is a big gap between reality and textbooks, and sometimes it's cruel." ”

Lei Xiaobo looked at him and didn't speak. Guo Fengping said urgently: "Township Chief Wu, help us think of a way, even if it is to solve some of the funds." There are only two villages in the whole township, and the problem of a way out has not been solved. ”

Township Chief Wu asked: "How much is the solution to part of the funds?"

Guo Fengping turned his face to look at Lei Xiaobo, Lei Xiaobo said: "If you follow the standard of a first-class highway, the first six kilometers of our village will need about 30 million. The township helped us solve half of it, and our village thought half of it ourselves. ”

"What?" "Township Chief Wu is called Wu Baomin. Wu Baomin's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard, "30 million, half in the township, half in the village?" Wu Baomin laughed happily, "College students just love to imagine." What is the concept of 30 million? Do you know? All the financial income of our township for two years is not enough for you. ”

Guo Fengping and Lei Xiaobo couldn't laugh. Guo Fengping asked: "How much can you solve for us in the township?"

"The township can't even pay the salaries of private teachers, where is the money to build roads?" Wu Baomin said, spreading his hands, "Our township also reported to the county to ask for it, and we have beaten it several times before, but it has not been approved." Even if it is approved, it is estimated that it will not exceed 500,000. ”
