On the third day after the two hot news events in Dayangtun, the consultation meeting arranged by the Dayangtun Village Committee on issues related to dried fruit planting was held in the compound of the village committee as scheduled. Due to the effective publicity and communication with the villagers in the early stage of the village committee, the villagers generally attach great importance to this project, and there are many people pouring into the compound today. The prospect depicted in the document rekindled the hopes of many people in the village, who had turned into ashes, and had the urge to give it a try.

The villagers who came sparsely gathered more and more in the compound, and the seats in the venue seemed to be not enough for each person, Chang Jiucheng ordered in advance to move out all the chairs that could be sat on, but obviously there was still a big gap between the number of chairs and the number of participants. Fortunately, the villagers are quite conscious, many people are carrying their own small stools, some people are simply ready to sit cross-legged on the ground in front of the temporary rostrum, and some young people have strong legs and feet, and they don't care too much after standing for a long time. After all, "Lao Jiu" is a man of temperament, and when he saw that the villagers were so enthusiastic, he felt a burst of excitement, just like at the last moment of the broadcast the day before yesterday, so much so that when he went to the rostrum to make an opening speech, he forgot the words that Li Jinming had written for him several times, and said directly: "Fellow villagers, if you have any questions about growing dried fruits here today, just ask! If we know, we will definitely answer them!" He originally planned to invite two agricultural experts to provide some professional advice to the villagers today, but the experts are not easy to invite, and the reception fee is still secondary.

In the village, people are unlikely to be as punctual as an army rally or a schoolboy is to report on such an event. Within half an hour of the brief speech of "Lao Jiu", there were still unhurried villagers who were late. Chang Jinzhu's family also sent people to come, Chang Feihu, as the representative of the whole family, sat in the farthest row from the rostrum with Erlang's legs crossed, no one paid attention to when he came, and his appearance seemed to be only symbolic.

When "Lao Jiu" spoke, Li Jinming swept the crowd under the stage and did not see Li Sanlaizi.

At this time, the foolish prince was rushing to the town with Dante and the White Snake.

To paraphrase the most familiar language of the news, it can be said that the first hour of the consultation session was spent in a positive, warm and harmonious atmosphere. Based on their support for Secretary Chang Jiucheng's new policy of revitalizing the village's economy through agriculture, the people of Dayangtun Village, who are eager to get rid of poverty and become rich, enthusiastically raised very constructive questions about the new policy and expressed their understanding of the new policy, reflecting their great concern for the content of the policy that is actually related to themselves. The cadres of the village committee did not refuse to come to the meeting, answered questions with sincerity and patience, and elaborated on the purpose of the new policy and the long-term and short-term goals.

The words are general, but they are also in line with the facts, but they are too high-sounding. In fact, the scene is not as serious as a meeting of an agency, nor is it noisy like a job fair, but like a chat between old neighbors. With the guarantee of "Lao Jiu" to "ask though" and "definitely answer", everyone really dared to speak freely, raised their hands, got consent, and asked questions in country slang. This project concerns the whole village, and other people's questions may contain things they did not expect, so when one person expresses his confusion or concern, the others listen quietly and wait for the village committee's answer. The first few people's questions took the village committee the most time to explain, because their questions were representative and reflected some of the villagers' general concerns. "The number of trees in each area of responsibility is different from that of other areas, and everyone is definitely willing to have more trees, not fewer trees. At that time, how to coordinate? What should the people who finally get to the responsibility area with few trees do?" "Some hills have more walnuts, some mountains have more apricots, and they have to be assigned to each family's responsibility area like this. Then fix these two sellers, in case the price of walnuts and apricot pits is cheap and expensive in which year, they only accept one of them, and the other does not accept or collects very little, what can people who mainly plant the kind of dried fruits that are harvested less?" The problem is that with our current ability, we can't afford to bear some responsibilities! Do you think that managing a tree in a responsibility area is not just watering and fertilizing it and taking care of it, but if there is a big drought and no rain, or if there is an outbreak of pests and diseases that we have not seen before, what can we do? Is the village committee prepared to deal with this kind of thing? "For example, you said that the village in Beijing made a fortune from dried fruits, so did they control all the sales channels a long time ago? Are the sellers who cooperate with our village the same as theirs? No, that's theirs…… What is that called, competitors? To be honest, what is the strength of our sellers? Have you really competed with them?" Such a question had long been anticipated by Chang Jiucheng and the cadres of the village committee, and they had already devised some plans for the possible situations mentioned in it, so they were able to answer them calmly and fluently, and the questioners and other villagers were also very satisfied with their answers. Later, when the big problems were gone, some people began to ask some bits and pieces of personal concern, such as "the sun is less on the shade side of the mountain, can you separate the yin responsibility area and the yang responsibility area, and then each family has at least one piece of the yin side and the yang side, so as to save whose responsibility area is all squeezed to the shade side, and suffer from grievances before planting trees", "The branches in the responsibility area of their own family are stretched out to the responsibility area of others, and the dried fruits that fall on the ground should be counted as who's" There is also an old smoker who said that smoking is not allowed in the forest area, for fear of causing fires, but many people like him in the village are too addicted to smoking and uncomfortable, so can they open a vacant land in one or several locations on several mountains for them to smoke when they are addicted to smoking in the labor process of maintaining trees and harvesting fruits. "It's like the smoking area on the train. As soon as one of the smokers shouted, "It makes sense," the big-shouldered daughter-in-law sitting next to him slapped him on the shoulder: "Dead ghost, you still want to smoke! Your lungs are as black as the bottom of the pot, aren't you? Look what you've smoked? Your thighs are not as thick as my arms!" The audience immediately burst into laughter.

Chang Feihu never asked questions, and he sat in the last row with his legs crossed. The chair under his ass wasn't something he had brought, and he thought it was very similar to the one his brother had sat on when he was in charge of the compound. How many hours had passed, and seeing that the villagers' consultation was coming to an end, and there were no more meaningful questions, he suddenly changed his posture, put his legs down and put them together, his hands on his knees, and his body straightened.

"Secretary, I still don't understand something. A stupid, dark, coarse man in the middle of the crowd raised his hand. "Lao Jiu" motioned to teach him, he stood up and said: "I looked at this document, it says very well, but to achieve the most satisfying goal in the end, that is, the whole village will have to wait for several years from now to get rid of poverty and become well-off by planting dried fruits, right?" "Lao Jiu" personally answered his question, he did not use a microphone during the whole consultation meeting, he did not want to create an oppressive momentum, not to mention that his loud voice was enough for the villagers present - and "standing" - to hear clearly, "You can't become a fat man by eating a bite, we have been poor for so long, and if we want to get rid of poverty, we have to follow the plan step by step." If you think about it, we still have to plant some saplings on the mountain, and it will take time for the saplings to grow and bear fruit. In addition, what is it called to build a seller and a market...... The production and marketing chain, long-term stability, also has to spend some work. ”

The man nodded, and said, "I think that if we want to plant so many trees on these hills and harvest so many dried fruits, it is not enough to rely on the people left in the village now." If every family wants to take good care of the trees in their area of responsibility, they have to call back the people who are working outside, right?" "Yes, this will be the case when it becomes large-scale in the future." Lao Jiu replied. The man nodded, and suddenly raised his voice: "So, in order to plant walnuts and apricots on the mountain, everyone has to call back all the people who are earning money outside, and work hard to serve those trees for several years before it is possible to earn money to get rid of poverty and become rich, right?"

The man's words instantly caused panic in the crowd. Most of the people in the village have members in the prime of life working outside, think about their relatives, although they are hard and tired, sometimes they are looked down upon, and they can't see each other all the year round, and they may not be able to return home for the New Year, but they have a stable salary to support themselves, and even cushion their families. If they were to come back and plant trees, they would have to give up their wages first, and the whole family would have to work hard for a few years without this stable guarantee before they could embark on the road to prosperity, possibly ......

"You misunderstood what the secretary meant. Letting the part-time villagers come back to plant dried fruits is the last effect we hope to achieve, not a step to be taken at the beginning. Seeing that "Lao Jiu" had a wrong face, his lips were tense and he was silent, Li Jinming hurriedly explained for him.

"Oh, even if that's the case, in fact, whether our dried fruits can be sold at a good price is not all up to how well we grow them. A short young man in the front row didn't raise his hand to stand up, "The seller and the market are also crucial." After a few years of work, who can guarantee that there will be no problems on both sides? If we finally plant the trees and have a bumper harvest of dried fruits in a few years, but the sellers have changed their minds or encountered some troubles, their strength has declined, and we can't sell so much, then we won't have a bumper harvest in vain?"

Before the village committee could respond, a young man in the back row also got up and said, "Yes, just now someone asked the seller if he has the ability to control the channel and help us sell the dried fruits well." We don't know the sellers listed on the actual documents, we haven't seen them, and we didn't tell them when we selected them......"

The words of the three of them stirred up the consultation meeting like a turbulent wave on the calm water, and the crowd in the audience talked about it one after another, and the voices became louder and louder, mixed with doubts and worries.

Everyone in the village committee was at a loss for a while, and some people wanted to maintain order in the venue with an ordered tone, but before they could speak, they were stopped by "Lao Jiu" waving his hand. "Lao Jiu" stared at these three people, and after a closer look, he only felt that they were all dumbfounded, and they could have such thoughts and skills of taking words out of context and shaking their tongues? If the three were his younger brothers and sons, he would definitely reprimand them severely. But he can't do this, it's not the family, it's the village committee, and he lets everyone speak freely. His gaze moved to Chang Feihu in the last row, and the kid was still sitting like a schoolboy listening attentively, with no expression on his face.

What happened at the consultation meeting was not only seen by the participants in the compound, but also by the two young men in mountaineering suits outside the gate of the compound. They were not from their own village, because most of the villagers had gone to the village committee, and no one saw when they entered the village, and no one in the village even noticed them, except for the owner of the commissary. They explained their intention to the old man who was guarding the door, and the old man said that the people who worked here were busy at this time, and they couldn't do it for the time being, so they would come back when the meeting was over. Later, the old man was called to set up the venue, and the two were attracted by the sound of discussion inside, so they did not go far.
