Chapter 12: Keeping Yourself Happy

"That's right, the countryside is different from the city, and the peasants are not comparable to the workers. Guo Fengping said, "This is fate, who let us be born in a poor mountain village? Who let me not be admitted to university? If I don't end up well and have no real ability, I can only accept my fate and suffer poverty in the mountain village for the rest of my life." ”

Lei Xiaobo said: "Secretary Guo, I don't think this idea is right. ”

Guo Fengping didn't expect this immature young man to dare to criticize her. She frowned, stared at him and said, "What's wrong? Then she sat down at her desk, wanting to hear what this young man she had not paid attention to could say.

Lei Xiaobo said seriously: "Secretary Guo, you should also know that some well-done rural areas are not only very beautifully built, but the income of farmers is also higher than that of people in the city. In some places, there has been a return of people from the cities to the countryside. ”

Guo Fengping nodded in approval and said, "I also know this situation." But here, the situation is different. The transportation is inconvenient, the mountains and rivers are poor, there is not a factory, there is not a single project that can make money, and like a self-sufficient primitive society, where do you get rich? ”

Lei Xiaobo said: "Secretary Guo, you are right. There will be no pie in the sky, but we can make pie. How do we have the conditions in our village? I think there is. In the past three days, I have learned some information and formed some ideas through my visits, so I would like to report to you. ”

Guo Fengping thought for a while and said, "You slow down, I'll call Xie Hongfei, he sent me a WeChat message in the morning and said that he came back last night." I called the other three members of the village committee, and we simply had a village committee meeting. ”

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and called them to inform them one by one. Half an hour later, the members of the village committee arrived one by one. The first to arrive was the village chief Xie Hongfei, and the last to arrive was the village accountant Sun Xiaoying. After everyone sat down, Guo Fengping said: "We haven't had a meeting for more than a month, and we just have a meeting today. Well, let me introduce him first, his name is Lei Xiaobo, and he is a college student village official sent from above, and his position is the assistant to the village party secretary. ”

Everyone looked at Lei Xiaobo, and the village chief Xie Hongfei and the village women's director Wei Fangfang, who had never seen him, saw that he was so young, immature, and young, and there was a look of contempt on their faces. Lei Xiaobo nodded at them and smiled, which was regarded as a greeting.

Guo Fengping also said: "Comrade Xiaolei is very diligent, and as soon as he came, he went from village to village and visited house to house. I learned about some of the situation and formed some ideas, which I would like to report to our village committee. Well, we're going to welcome him below. As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the other three also stretched out their hands and clapped a few times, only Xie Hongfei looked at him in a daze, without clapping.

There is no meeting room in the village council, and the five of them sit in the reception area on the side of the office. Guo Fengping, Sun Xiaoying, and Wei Fangfang sat on the three-person sofa, the village chief Xie Hongfei, and the security director Wang Nenglong sat on the single sofa on the left and right, and Lei Xiaobo sat on the chair in front of the coffee table.

Sitting like this, Lei Xiaobo is like sitting on the rostrum. After all, he had just graduated from college, had never participated in work, and had not spoken at any meeting, so he was a little nervous when he was stared at by five strange colleagues and ten eyes, and he couldn't help but blush. He flipped through the notebook to ease his nerves.

Lei Xiaobo glanced at the words and data recorded in the notebook in the past few days, which were like reassuring pills, which immediately calmed him down. He raised his head and looked at everyone, and said in a somewhat blocked voice: "Okay, leaders and colleagues, let me first report to you what I have learned in the past three days." ”

Xie Hongfei, the village head, and Wang Nenglong, the security director, took out cigarettes, lit them with lighters, and took big gulps, expressing some impatience. Xie Hongfei used a continuous action of spitting smoke rings to show his disdain. He is about fifty years old, the oldest in the village committee, the oldest qualified, and the hardest background, so not only did he not take the strange young man in front of him in his eyes, but he also did not respect Guo Fengping, the village party secretary.

Lei Xiaobo hates smoking, and when the smoke from Xie Hongfei's spit out rushed towards him, he wrinkled his nose and squeezed the smoke with his hand to show that he was very dissatisfied with him. Guo Fengping couldn't see it, so he said in a joking tone: "Lao Xie, Lao Wang, don't smoke, you are not allowed to smoke in public, otherwise you will be fined." ”

Wang Nenglong obediently snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, but Xie Hongfei continued to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, and said with the corners of his mouth raised: "The village committee shouldn't be considered a public place, right?"

Lei Xiaobo thought of the scene when he cheated with someone else's wife last night, and really wanted to expose him in person. But he knew that the time was not yet ripe, so he held back and didn't say anything. He just fought back without humility or arrogance: "No matter how small the village committee is, it is also a collective, of course, it is a public place. The point is, if you smoke a cigarette alone, let four or five of us smoke second-hand smoke, which is harmful to others and not to ourselves. "I thought in my heart, you only care about your own cheating and happiness, but you don't care about the wealth and poverty of the villagers, whether you live or die, are you still a village chief?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Xie Hongfei was said to be very faceless, and his eyes widened and he wanted to reprimand him. Guo Fengping said in a round game: "Xiao Lei is right, he is for everyone's good." The others used a light laugh to ease the tension.

"I'd better report to you first. Lei Xiaobo became serious, and his voice was much calmer, "We have a total of 246 households and 729 people in Qianao Village, with a mountainous area of 18,560 mu and a arable land area of 395 mu. At present, there are 0 industrial enterprises in the village, with an industrial output value of 00,000 yuan, 0 agricultural demonstration parks, 3 animal husbandry farmers, 8 grain farmers with more than 10 acres, the total output value of the village's agricultural and sideline industries is more than 800,000 yuan, the tertiary industry is more than 30,000 yuan, and the per capita annual income is 1,218 yuan. There are 167 rural households below the national poverty line, 234 people meet the government's subsistence allowance, and 6 households are extremely poor. These six extremely poor households are: Zhu Yafang's family in the 12th villager group, You Baofa's family in the 8th villager group, and Gong Jinru's family in the 2nd villager group......"

"Ah, Xiaolei, where did you get the data?" Guo Fengping was the first to exclaim, "There are some data, we don't know, you have mastered it so correctly in just three days." ”

The others also stared at the immature college student in front of them. Only the village chief Xie Hongfei wrinkled his brows, still looking disdainful.

"In short, in a word, our Qianao Village can be regarded as a super poor village. Lei Xiaobo concluded, "It is also located in a hilly area at the junction of three provinces, with complex terrain, severe public security situation, and frequent criminal cases. However, the people here are simple and simple, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are many conditions that can be used, but we have not made full use of them and developed them. ”
