Li Rui noticed her existence, subconsciously turned his head to look, and laughed after a look, it was his eldest baby Yao Xuefei, look at her, and look at Zhao Chun diagonally opposite, I couldn't help but want to compare the second daughter, in fact, if you really want to compare, the second daughter's beauty can be said to be indistinguishable, Xuefei is slightly stronger and not too strong, and the second daughter's figure is also the same slender and colorful, even the height is about the same, it can be said that it is an opponent in chess, but a key point that cannot be avoided is that Xuefei is the master of the city TV station, The well-known beauty host is a household name in the city, and she has such a laurel or halo, and her comprehensive beauty is naturally going to win a lot over Zhao Chun.

Over there, Song Chaoyang, Fang Qingyun and other city and county leaders had already finished meeting, left the small square, walked along the highway and went deep into Dawangzhuang, while inspecting the terrain and environment on both sides of the highway and the buildings along the street, and at the same time learning about the progress of poverty alleviation in the village with the director of the local poverty alleviation office and the village party secretary.

Dawangzhuang is also a poor village, with more than 300 households and more than 1,200 people, most of whom are poor households, including more than a dozen extremely poor households. In ancient times, the Fairy River rushed out of an incomparably wide huge river valley in Dawangzhuang Village, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, the river channel in the river valley narrowed, leaving only the southern (Heyin) forty or fifty meters wide river channel to cross the water, and the north (Heyang) backed by the huge area of the mountain because of the siltation effect of the river carrying sand and gravel, silted up into a plain of sand and gravel land, higher than the river channel is more than ten meters. The villagers of Dawangzhuang settled on this plain with a radius of three or four miles and the gentler slopes next to it. The road leading to the Fairy Cave Scenic Area also passes through the village from the south of the village, along the curved course of the Fairy River, all the way up, to the west and north, and finally to the Fairy Cave Scenic Area after passing through Jiupo Town.

There is little arable land available in the village, and it is all gravel land, so there are almost no crops to grow, only some drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant crops, and there is no harvest all year round, so almost every family in the village is struggling to survive and live below the poverty line all year round. Those with slightly better family conditions can raise some sheep, cows, or other animals at home, but they can only barely be self-sufficient, and they cannot get rid of poverty and become rich. The strong laborers in the village, like most young and middle-aged people in the countryside, all go to the city to work to make money, but the money saved in the end of a hard year is only a few thousand yuan, and almost all of it is used to supplement the family, and by the end of the year, there are only 1,800 yuan left in their hands, and what can this money do in this era?

The whole Dawangzhuang Village, like other poor villages located in the deep mountains, seems to have been abandoned by the modern and fast-developing society, backward, closed and poor.

Of course, the national, provincial, municipal, and county governments have not forgotten Dawangzhuang, especially Shuanghe County. Since the late nineties of the last century, Shuanghe County began to carry out poverty alleviation in Dawangzhuang Village, but unfortunately it has been supported for more than ten years, and the effect is not very significant, but it has successively helped several village party secretaries and village directors. After these village cadres became rich, they either went to the county seat or even Qingyang City to buy a house and settle down, or they went to Jiupo Town to build a house and settle down, leaving behind those still poor villagers and the dilapidated and vicissitudes of the village.

At the end of last year, after the spring breeze of the city's poverty alleviation campaign blew up, the city and county levels increased their assistance to the impoverished villages, and Dawangzhuang Village was thus reborn; some villagers began to develop the breeding industry after receiving technical training from the agricultural departments at the city and county levels, and engaged in the breeding of rabbits, goats, and firewood chickens; with the support of the government, some villagers decided to take advantage of the geographical advantages of this tourist avenue at their doorstep to engage in tourism services, and to operate farmhouses, restaurants, hotels, and bamboo raft ferries on the river along the road. Some villagers have started planting fruit trees in the mountains, learning to benefit from the mountains at their doorstep. All in all, the poverty alleviation movement has been vigorously carried out in the village, and although it has not achieved results so far, it has also embarked on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

After listening to Zhao Sanxi, director of the Shuanghe County Poverty Alleviation Office, Song Chaoyang was noncommittal, called Du Minsheng, Luo Bin, and Fang Qingyun to his side, and pointed to the highway under his feet: "This highway is the only passage to the Fairy Cave Scenic Area, and it is also the only passage to the venue of the 'Shoufu Association'. The quality of the first impression is directly related to whether we can successfully demonstrate the achievements of poverty alleviation. Therefore, our current research and work focus is to do a good job in the image of residential courtyards and commercial buildings on both sides of this highway, that is, along the road. It's a priority!"

After hearing this, Du Minsheng was afraid that Fang Qingyun, the magistrate of Shuanghe County, would not be able to understand his deep meaning, and explained: "Just as the city's poverty alleviation campaign wants to highlight Shuanghe as a pilot county for poverty alleviation, we will carry out poverty alleviation in the poor villages along the river in Jiupo Town, and we must also grasp the typical, this typical is not a specific village, but a specific area, this area is the farmhouse courtyards and various buildings on both sides of the highway in front of us. The first sight of the leading cadres participating in the First Support Conference is also the best position for us to show our achievements in poverty alleviation. ”

Without waiting for Fang Qingyun to speak, Robin nodded first and said, "Clearly, for example, we judge whether a city is a big city, Whether it is modern or not, we will only pay attention to how many high-rise buildings there are in the city, and will not look at the shantytowns hidden behind the high-rise buildings, the same reason is in front of us, we must first support the poor households on both sides of the road, help them change the face of the roadside courtyard houses and other buildings, make them as beautiful as possible, and highlight our poverty alleviation achievements, as for the poor households in the depths of the village, ignore them for the time being, after all, the provincial and municipal leaders cannot see the inside, and they will not necessarily go to the village to see. ”

Song Chaoyang commented: "Mayor Luo's example is very good, that's the reason. Although this is a bit of a favoritism and uneven distribution of profits, there is no way. In fact, this is the same as the state mobilizing the strength of the whole country to build a super city like Beijing and Shanghai, and it is like the province mobilizing the strength of the whole province to build the provincial capital Jingnan, which is an unfair thing, but in order to achieve political goals, it can only be done in this way. Of course, having said that, we are not engaged in a face-saving project, but we are only giving priority to the poor households in these areas for the time being, and we are definitely not abandoning the poor households elsewhere. ”

Fang Qingyun listened to the three city leaders explain one after another, how could there be anything that he didn't understand, and said: "I already understand what you mean, secretary, and I will also convey the key points to the members of the county team when I go back, and work together to make a plan as soon as possible." ”

Song Chaoyang smiled faintly and said, "It's good if you understand, let's continue to move forward, and talk while investigating." ”

Li Rui couldn't hear these words at all, he was in the middle of the research team, no one cared about it and no one supervised him, but he was also leisurely. As he walked, he observed carefully, and saw that the courtyards of the houses in Dawang Village were basically located on the plains and hillsides north of the road, while to the south of the road, on the edge of the fairy river, there were either no courtyards or only a row of farmhouses. This is also very easy to understand, the so-called "gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall", the common people also know the truth of not living by the river, if you live by the river, you will immediately return to the pre-liberation period, and live on the north side of the road, far away from the river, there is less risk of destroying the house and breaking the house.

After walking out of dozens of meters, Song Chaoyang, who was walking in the front, stopped, and the position where he stood was also the typical life and business mode of the courtyards along the street in Dawang Village and even the first-line poor villages along the river: first of all, the ordinary houses of the life type, the courtyard gate was built on the side of the road, next to it was the dilapidated and broken brick wall or the local earthen wall built with loess and wheat straw bricks, and the courtyard gate was a colorful iron gate, many of which were rusty and extremely ugly; Thorns and other debris, and even pig dung heaps and horse dung heaps, are sloppy and dirty in the eyes; the houses in the courtyard are all dilapidated old houses, and the moss on the roofs alone shows the history; the old girls in the village are holding babies or leading small children, wandering around the roadside at the door, dressed in tatters, and looking sluggish and silly, showing the true colors of the poor people. And such a courtyard is not one, the houses within the line of sight are basically like this, and it is almost impossible to see a two-story small building or a slightly higher grade brick wall compound.

In addition, those business-oriented buildings either transform their own courtyards into farmhouse hotels to operate, or build two or three brick houses on the roadside, open small restaurants, small supermarkets, and small shops, and some casually open a vacant land to make a living by washing cars, and even build thatched houses for a fee. These commercial buildings are not uniformly planned, and they are diverse in height, depth, shape, color, and decoration style, and they look not only not beautiful, but dazzling and inexplicable.

After Song Chaoyang saw it, he was very saddened, and called a group of leading cadres of the city and county over, gathered in a circle, pointed to all kinds of buildings on both sides of the highway, and said: "This place must be renovated, and it must be redesigned and planned in a unified manner! Look at it, what is it like now? The houses are backward and dilapidated, dirty, and the shops are in a mess, each doing its own thing, and this is really a poor village! But we must not show such a poor village to the provincial leaders!"

Everyone nodded their heads and whispered in agreement.
