Chapter 1124: Into the Mountain
Lin'an County is located in the mountainous area of southern Zhejiang, and it is one of the most remote counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. It is precisely because of its remote location and the continuous mountains that most of its jurisdiction is that Lin'an County is also the poorest county in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Even the county seat is a little dilapidated, not to mention that it can't be compared with prefecture-level cities like Su City and Wuxi, and even the suburban counties of these two cities are far behind.
When the pickup truck was slowly driving on the narrow streets of Lin'an County, Zhao Xue, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, couldn't help but sigh quietly: "The conditions here are really not good, no wonder Sister Wanqing will set this year's year-end charity trip here!"
Xiao Ping carefully drove to avoid a big pothole on the road, then glanced at the thigh of the girl Bai Shengsheng and said: "I will enter the mountain tomorrow, at this time, it must be very cold in the mountain, you have to change your clothes." ”
Zhao Xue frowned at Xiao Ping and said, "What's wrong with my dress?
"It's okay if you don't change it. Xiao Ping said casually: "I will tell Wanqing, if you don't change, you will stay in the county seat to take care of the family, anyway, you need to leave two people to be responsible for contact and scheduling." ”
"You ......!" Zhilu said that Li Wanqing would definitely listen to Xiao Ping, and Zhao Xue didn't have anything to do, so she said angrily after a while: "Hmph, change it!"
Xiao Ping said this for Zhao Xue's good, and of course he had a clear conscience. Xiao Ping was also not interested in being angry with a girl, and turned a blind eye to Zhao Xue's dissatisfaction, which also made her feel that she had nowhere to use her strength.
The convoy stopped in front of a guest house in the county seat, which was where Li Wanqing had stayed in advance. The conditions of the guest house are average, but the environment is clean. The most important thing is that there is a large parking lot that can park all the cars in the fleet.
In fact, although the county seat of Lin'an is located in the middle of nowhere. But there are also a few hotels with better conditions. However, Li Wanqing adheres to the concept of "using every penny on the blade", and she never hesitates to spend money on charity. But he is very frugal with his own people. However, colleagues in the charity foundation have become accustomed to Li Wanqing's style, and they all take it for granted, and even Zhao Xue has no objections.
I got the news in advance that the Xianhu Foundation was going to Lin'an County to carry out charity activities, and the county also sent two people to receive everyone. One of them is Fang Qiang, deputy director of the county civil affairs bureau, and the other is Liu Guodong, vice president of the county Red Cross Society.
The two of them were also very enthusiastic, especially Fang Qiang, who was more obvious, he shook hands with everyone one by one. You can see that the excitement and excitement on the face is not fake. This also made Xiao Ping's impression of Fang Qiang a little better, and there are not many cadres who are so enthusiastic about their own work at the moment.
Because of the delay at the entrance of the expressway, by the time everyone settled into the guest house, it was already dark. Fang Qiang and Liu Guodong warmly invited everyone to dinner, and Xiao Ping noticed that although the amount of meals was relatively large, they were basically local home-cooked dishes, and there were no particularly high-end dishes. And there were only drinks on the table, but no alcohol. This made him nod secretly in his heart again, it seems that Fang Qiang and Liu Guodong are very real people.
After dinner, Fang Qiang and Liu Guodong both stayed. Discuss the next itinerary with Li Wanqing and several other major leaders. Although Lin'an County is poor, the area under its jurisdiction is really not small, and most of it is mountainous with difficult roads. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the convoy into several routes into the mountains and go to the villages to distribute charity goods. In this way, we can complete this charity action and benefit more people in a limited time.
After careful discussion, the two sides reached an agreement. Tomorrow the convoy will be divided into four teams. Led by Li Wanqing and three other veteran employees of the foundation, they went into the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang to carry out charity activities.
And Lin'an County is here. In addition to Fang Qiang and Liu Guodong, the Civil Affairs Bureau will send two other staff members who are familiar with the local environment as guides. Move with the convoy.
Li Wanqing was very satisfied with Lin'an County's arrangement, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lin'an County for your strong support for our charity action, I will trouble Director Fang in the next few days." ”
Fang Qiang smiled heartily: "What did Miss Li say, your foundation has come all the way to the county to send warmth to the poor people, of course we have the obligation to cooperate well, otherwise we will really have no face to face the blind date people." ”
We will go into the mountain early tomorrow morning, and we will have a lot of preparations to do. So after agreeing on the next itinerary, Fang Qiang and Liu Guodong said goodbye and left, and everyone dispersed and went to their respective busy.
The next day, the convoy was divided into four groups under the leadership of their respective guides, leaving the county and heading towards the vast mountains.
Xiao Ping was naturally in a group with Li Wanqing, and Zhao Xue was also sitting in the passenger seat like yesterday. Xiao Ping's threat yesterday worked, and today the girl added an extra pink down jacket, and the miniskirt was replaced by tight jeans. Although skinny jeans still can't hide the lines of Zhao Xuemei's legs, they are much more comfortable than short skirts.
However, today's Zhao Xue is not as casual as yesterday, because there are three more people in the back seat of the pickup. They are all staff members of the charity foundation, and because there are not enough vehicles after grouping, they can only take Xiao Ping's pickup truck.
Taking the lead has always been Li Wanqing's work style, so the villages that Li Wanqing's group is going to are also the most remote and the roads are the most difficult to walk. In the convoy, except for a Mercedes-Benz truck specially transferred by Zhou Jun, only Xiao Ping's pickup truck and the Land Rover can walk more easily, so each car can only seat a few more people.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping's pickup truck was modified by Ye Dexiang, and the interior space is very spacious, not to mention that there are only four people in total, even if there are two more, you can sit comfortably. The two pickup crew members were lucky enough to have suffered less bumps along the way.
After the three cars left the county seat of Lin'an, they headed straight west, and it took a long time to enter the mountainous area. Strictly speaking, the mountainous area of southern Zhejiang can only be regarded as a hilly area, but when people are in it, they can't help but sigh at the magnificence of nature.
The road is lined with rolling hills on both sides, and as you get deeper into the mountains, the road becomes narrower and more difficult to navigate. The road is so narrow that there are only enough for two trucks to cross each other, and the road is even more potholed. Xiao Ping drove with full concentration along the way, carefully avoiding various obstacles on the road, and his speed was naturally not fast. After walking all morning, the number on the odometer did not increase much.
By noon, the convoy finally reached the first village on the booked route. (To be continued......)
