Song Chaoyang asked with concern: "The poverty alleviation funds have been in place, why are the villagers still unwilling to carry out breeding projects?" There are many reasons for this, for example, there is a serious shortage of strong labor, and the young and middle-aged people have gone to work in the cities, and only the old, young, women, and children are left in the villages, so many things cannot be done; for example, the villagers' sense of self-help and self-help is obviously weak, and their thinking is backward, and they are unwilling to do anything even if someone comes to the door; for example, some people have a sense of cunning among small farmers, and after receiving the cattle, sheep and cubs purchased by the village with the money for poverty alleviation, they actually secretly sell them, focusing only on immediate interests and not thinking about the future. Alas, poverty alleviation work is very difficult to do. Song Chaoyang heard this situation for the first time, and couldn't help but be a little shocked, and said, "There are still such people?"

The director of the county poverty alleviation office interjected: "Secretary Song, you don't know, there is a more humane person than this kind of person." Through poverty alleviation in our county, a poverty-stricken household in a poor village has initially formed a small-scale farm of 35 pigs based on six pigs, and the annual family income has increased from 3,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan. As a result, some people in the village were jealous, and ran to his pigsty at night, secretly fed pig feed soaked with pesticides, and more than 30 pigs were poisoned on the spot. Later, the man was arrested by the police station and asked him why he was poisoned, and he said that he could not see that the family was better off than him. ”

Song Chaoyang frowned, didn't say anything, and ordered: "Find a poor household that has not carried out poverty alleviation, and let's go in and sit down." ”

The deputy county magistrate beckoned Du Weiguang, the mayor of Jiupo Town, to come over and arrange the task on the spot. Du Weiguang looked for the head of Xishan Village again, the head of Xishan Village was a man in his forties, his face was red, and he grinned bitterly when he heard this: "After the last flood, everyone in the village has become extremely poor. Du Weiguang knew where the main point of Song Chaoyang's order was, and said to the village chief: "Find a farmer who is already very poor and does not accept the county's poverty alleviation help." ”

The village chief thought about it, chose one, and asked people to go over to inform them first, and he accompanied these big leaders to walk slowly over there.

Coming to this poor household, Song Chaoyang had a long talk with the head of the family. There are seven men and women in this family, two old people stay at home to watch the family, by the way to take care of the grandchildren, the two pillars of the family son and daughter-in-law have gone to the provincial capital to work, the family has four acres of mountainous land on the mountainside in the north of the village, and there are two pigs and more than a dozen chickens in the yard. The entire source of income of the five people left behind comes from the crops planted in the mountains and a few animals raised in the mountains.

Song Chaoyang asked: "Fellow countryman, your son and daughter-in-law work in the provincial capital, and when they go home during the Chinese New Year, how much money can they bring back?" The old man said: "They have to rent a house in the provincial capital, they have to eat, they have to buy clothes, and they can bring back seven or eight thousand yuan when they go home." Song Chaoyang was a little shocked, a family of seven, only earning seven or eight thousand yuan a year, and asked: "How can two people earn this?" The old man sighed: "Alas, the two only have their son to work, and the daughter-in-law used to serve him, and he didn't make money, and he spent a lot in the provincial capital, so he couldn't save a few dollars." Song Chaoyang said: "Since you don't make much money in the provincial capital, why don't you stay in the village?"

The old man said: "No matter how little money you earn in the provincial capital, you can still see the living money, and you can work in the village for a year, and you don't have much money." Song Chaoyang said: "Isn't there a poverty alleviation project in the county? Why don't you participate?" The old man said: "What do you say about raising cattle and sheep?" Alas, you can't do it, we haven't raised them, we can't raise them, we have to build sheds and circles, and prepare food. Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Aren't you just idle?" Why don't you have idle time?" The old man laughed: "Don't worry about being idle like this." ”

Song Chaoyang frowned.

Next, I visited a few difficult households, and basically every head of the family can say the reasons for the same, although they can't stand scrutiny, but people just identify these, and no one can do anything about them.

Li Rui has already adopted Xishan Village as a mutual help pair for his secretary, and wants to do a good job of pairing poverty alleviation in the village, and strive to be a model in the office, but after visiting this trip, he saw that the poor households here are so lazy and tired, and his heart was half cold, and he said secretly: "If the poor households in the village have this attitude, don't come yourself, it is estimated that it is useless to come." If you are poor, you can help, but if you are poor and lazy, you can't help. ”

Walking down in a circle, Song Chaoyang also had a new assessment of his poverty alleviation plan, his brows were clenched together, and his face was not very good. It seems that this matter is far from being as simple as I imagined. What I originally thought was that with a call in the city, the party committees and governments at all levels in the city would take action to fight a beautiful battle of poverty alleviation, and they would soon achieve results, and they would have a status in the provincial party committee Secretary Huang. Now we can see how easy it is to help the poor? Just changing the attitude of these poor households is a big problem. Their attitude can't be changed, even if they move to gold and silver, they will give up.

After returning to the compound of the Jiupo Township Party Committee and Government, Song Chaoyang immediately convened an on-site discussion meeting on poverty alleviation work, which was attended by all the cadres at the four levels of cities, counties, towns and villages, to talk freely about the various problems encountered in the poverty alleviation work and discuss solutions. The meeting lasted for more than three hours and lasted until dark in the evening. Li Rui took notes and wrote down more than a dozen pieces of paper, and his wrists were sore, so he waited until the meeting was over.

After having dinner in the town, Song Chaoyang did not rush back to the city or return to Shuanghe County to stay, but came to Xishan Village in the dark and visited several poor households again. This time, he came prepared, had a way to deal with various problems, and also had a new plan, so when he faced these poor households again, he was a little more confident and chic.

In one of the farms, Shiba Dog barked incessantly in the yard, and Song Chaoyang and the other people chatted and laughed with the head of the household in the dim light in the living room.

Song Chaoyang asked: "Fellow, you have such a big yard at home, why don't you build a few sheds to raise a few cattle and sheep?" The head of the household is a man in his forties, and he sighed when he heard this: "Cattle and sheep are not easy to raise, there is a lot of grain straw and grass to eat, and the slaughter is slow. Song Chaoyang smiled: "The cattle are slaughtered slowly, but the sheep are not slow." You have meadows all over the mountains here, and it is the most suitable for raising sheep. Raise a dozen or dozens of sheep, the big sheep can sell meat, sell skins and sell cashmere, the small sheep can be sold directly, and the big and small sheep can be raised together in two echelons, forming a cycle, and you can't make money?"

The head of the household shook his head and said: "The sheep are not easy to raise, they have to get sick, they have to eat salt, and they also pull sheep dung and beans everywhere, which are dirty, tired and smelly." Song Chaoyang said with a smile: "If you want to make money, do you care about these? How can there be a good errand that can easily make money now?" The head of the household smiled: "I see that you are good officials, and you can make a lot of money by doing nothing all day." ”

The village chief reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you mean to do nothing all day, and if you don't do anything, you will come to your house to teach you the great truth of poverty alleviation? ”

Song Chaoyang was not angry, and asked with a smile: "That fellow, what do you think you can do to make money?" The head of the household said: "You can't make money by doing anything in this ravine, if you want to make money, you have to go out and work in a big city." Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "No, I don't think your idea is right." Our ancestors have an old saying, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, this must have its truth in it. Relying on such a vast and rich Taihang Mountains, I don't believe that you can't adapt measures to local conditions and find no way to make money? In this, there may be subtle links that our poverty alleviation cadres have not taken into account, and there are also your own ideological concepts that are playing tricks. If you want to get rich, if you want to change the current face of poverty, the first thing is that your own thinking must be changed......"

After coming out of this house, Song Chaoyang walked along the potholed mountain road to the entrance of the village in the dark night, and said to Du Minsheng and other entourage: "It seems that if you want to do a good job in poverty alleviation, you must first change the ideological outlook of the poor people. In addition, we should also consider developing one or two typical models, so that some people can get rich first. When everyone sees that they make money, they will scramble to follow suit, to put it bluntly, the role model is not enough......" Du Minsheng nodded and said: "Poverty alleviation is not difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is simple, but as long as the work is done well, there will still be achievements." ”

Everyone could hear the implication of his words, which meant that the poverty alleviation work in Xishan Village had not made any achievements, and it was due to the failure of the work to be done.

Hearing this, the deputy county magistrate in charge of poverty alleviation and the director of the county poverty alleviation office felt a little uneasy.

After returning to the town, Song Chaoyang and the others stayed in the largest hotel in the town, the conditions were relatively simple, and there was not even a bathroom. Many people didn't take a bath, and after a simple wash, they lay down on Simmons and fell asleep.

Li Rui really wants to get together with Li Yulan, if he doesn't get together tonight, I'm afraid there will be no chance to meet in private tomorrow, so he sat on the edge of the bed after washing, touched his mobile phone and was about to send her a text message, but when she heard the dingdong ring, her text message had already arrived first.

Li Yulan asked: "When are you leaving tomorrow?" Li Rui replied: "It is estimated that it will be tomorrow morning, where are you?" Li Yulan quickly replied: "I am in the dormitory of the small building of the town party committee, and I am afraid that you city leaders will have orders, so I will be specially left on duty." Li Rui wanted to tell her that she didn't need to be on duty, but thinking that this might be an order from the county leader, she probably wouldn't listen to what she said, so she had to give up and text out: "Take time to meet." ”
