Secretary Xiao said what to do, what to do with the town axe. Ordinary people look like a great thing, begging dad to worship grandma, hot face sticking to people's cold buttocks, they can't find a butt to stick, but as long as someone above says a word, then it's OK, everything is easy to do. No matter what Xiao Chen thinks or how he feels, but this is the case in the system, he himself knows it very well, and he can only sigh in his heart.

"Well, Zhu Zhishu, I listen to your tone, there should be other grievances, right? I think so, we have limited time today, so let's talk as we go, okay? Xiao Chen said to Zhu Dachun with a smile.

Zhu Dachun naturally didn't dare to say no to Xiao Chen, so he hurriedly responded, and then led the way.

Xiao Chen came all the way to know the difficulties of farmers in the countryside. The road was already narrow, the most ordinary dirt road, it was already uneven, and after the rain two days ago, the whole road was full of potholes, and when you stepped on it, it was full of mud and water. If you hadn't worn rain boots, you would have been in big trouble. It is estimated that if you step on it in leather shoes, it will be all yellow mud, and every foot will be mud poured into it.

Even with rain boots, the road is very difficult. The road was originally made of earth and pebbles, but after the rain, the mud adhered to the pebbles and could not be seen, and it could slip violently if you stepped on it. Xiao Chen was inexperienced, he didn't look at the road much when he walked, but looked left and right at the barren fields on both sides and the rolling green hills in the distance, and slipped without going far, so frightened that Huang Rui and Xu Fei next to him hurriedly stretched out their hands to help, and the group of cadres who followed behind him also shook their hearts suddenly, if Secretary Xiao fell here, these people who were responsible for arranging the itinerary would probably have to be frightened for a while.

Unexpectedly, although Xiao Chen slid a little, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he had already stood firm on his own before Huang Rui and Xu Fei's hands could reach it.

"Secretary Xiao be careful!"

Xiao Chen turned around and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry. Zhu Dachun heard the movement behind him, turned his head, and was a little at a loss: "Secretary Xiao, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Chen laughed: "It's okay, it's just that I was thinking about things, I was distracted, my feet didn't fall steadily, and I slipped a little." ”

Zhu Dachun was a little relieved, Xiao Chen had already waved his hand and said, "Let's continue walking." Everyone took action again, Huang Rui was worried that Xiao Chen would come again, so he consciously approached a little closer. Xu Fei was anxious at the moment when Xiao Chen's feet slipped just now, but at this time, he snickered in his heart: No matter how steady you are and you haven't walked a bad road, you still have to slip your feet, if you fall down just now, hehe...... But thinking about it, she also deliberately approached Xiao Chen a little.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and asked at this time: "Zhu Zhishu, these trees on the mountain are camellia trees, right?" ”

Zhu Dachun responded: "Yes, it's all tea trees." ”

"With such a big mountain, you can make a lot of tea oil in the village every year, right?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile: "I heard that the price of tea oil is still relatively good." ”

When Zhu Dachun heard this, he laughed honestly and scratched his head: "It's okay, a tree can probably produce two to three taels of oil, and now the tea oil is sold for eight yuan a catty." ”

Xiao Chen asked again: "How many Camellia oleifera trees are there in a household?" How much oil can be produced in a year? ”

"It's hard to say, the Camellia oleifera tree is not a spectrum, some places produce more Camellia oleifera fruits, some produce less, and another is that some people pick tea fruits cleanly, and some are sloppy...... There's a difference. According to the general rule, almost a family can have one or two thousand catties of tea fruit, and about one hundred to one hundred and fifty catties of tea oil. ”

Xiao Chen snorted and asked, "Then how do you use these tea oils, eat them yourself or sell them?" He thought in his heart, eight yuan a catty, a hundred catties is also eight hundred yuan. At present, the average worker in the city is about 400 yuan a month, and a little better is about 500 yuan, and 800 yuan is a lot of income in the countryside.

"Of course I eat it myself, if I don't eat my own, do I still go to buy oil to eat?" Zhu Dachun seemed very strange that Secretary Xiao would ask such a question, and added: "The rapeseed oil I bought is not as delicious as tea oil." ”

"Oh, that's right." Xiao Chen nodded, he suddenly found a very speechless question, he didn't know how much oil a family had to eat in a year. But Zhu Dachun didn't know, Zhu Zhishu continued: "But some people think that rapeseed oil is actually similar, so they sell their tea oil and then buy cheap rapeseed oil to eat, so that they can save about 300 yuan a year." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, wondering in his heart, can this tea oil form an industry? Just pondering, Zhu Dachun shouted: "Secretary Xiao, look ahead, there is the oil mill in our village, not only the oil in our village is squeezed here, but several surrounding villages are squeezing oil here." Zhu Dachun was a little proud when he said this, this oil mill was built by him more than 20 years ago, and it was his "political achievement".

Xiao Chen looked up and was startled, the so-called oil mill was just made of the kind of home-fired paper-burning adobe bricks common in the countryside, not to mention any decoration, even the walls were not smooth. The area is about 150 square meters at most, which is the size of two classrooms, and it looks tattered, and it feels as if it will collapse at any moment.

Xiao Chen held back the shock in his heart: "This is your oil mill?" After the camellia fruit from several surrounding villages is harvested, they all come to you to extract oil? ”

Zhu Dachun saw Xiao Chen's appearance and understood what he was thinking, so he was a little unconvinced, and said: "Secretary Xiao, don't look at our oil mill looking shabby, oil extraction is not ambiguous." ”

Xiao Chen didn't argue with him, and said, "Let's go, anyway, let's take a look." ”

Zhu Dachun led him to the door of the oil mill, Xiao Chen walked to the door and looked inside, it was dark inside, and he vaguely saw dirty water flowing on the ground, and some of the platforms were all black, as if it was a layer of oil dirt, Xiao Chen's brows were a little wrinkled, the oil from the oil mill, in addition to the oil itself is indeed fresh tea oil, the hygiene is probably similar to the gutter oil that was exposed more than ten years later, right?

When Zhu Dachun saw Xiao Chen's appearance, he knew that he was afraid that he was dissatisfied with hygiene, but he was still a little dissatisfied. I heard that there are some families in the city who have to take off their shoes when they enter the door, and they are really not afraid of trouble.

"Secretary Xiao, don't look at us here to look unclean, our oil is still very clean, it is all squeezed by ourselves." Zhu Dachun was a little anxious when he said this, the oil mill is his own political achievement, and it cannot be erased.

Xiao Chen was noncommittal and asked, "Is there a charge for oil extraction?" ”

Zhu Dachun was stunned: "The money is not collected, 10 catties of oil are squeezed out and collected for one catty, and the oil mill is sold to maintain the operation of the oil mill, and everyone will share the extra money as a subsidy." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, this sounds fair. "Well, let's go, go to the five guarantees." Xiao Chen turned her head and almost bumped into Xu Fei, Xu Fei was extremely serious this time, and she was almost recording Xiao Chen's words and deeds.

Xiao Chen smiled: "Comrade Xiao Xu, why do I think you seem to be remembering "Living Note"? Then he went on his own.

Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Chen's back, and said in his heart: You think you are the emperor, and you are still "Living Note", you are really not ashamed.

The group continued to walk into the mountains, the road became narrower and narrower, and it became worse and worse, and many cadres were already tired and panting, especially some middle-aged cadres from the district party committee office and the propaganda department, who complained in their hearts that the town government axe would not be able to do things, and arrange to meet a five-guarantee household, and arrange it so far, isn't it harmful?

What surprised them was that Xiao Chen, who looked polite and polite, actually didn't feel tired at all, but the speed of the team still became slow because many cadres couldn't keep up.

The houses in Huaye Village are built separately, and you can see a family when you walk for a while, and the villagers here don't know if they are a little afraid of these leaders from the city or unwilling to face them face to face, anyway, when they see Xiao Chen and them coming, they all avoid them from afar, which makes Xiao Chen's mood heavy again.

Don't look at the 94 years, the houses in the village are still mostly bungalows, and there is no decoration, not to mention tiles and 888, it is good to brush a layer of lime. There are still a few households, which are still wooden houses, and they are the kind that have thresholds at the entrance of the hall houses, which gives Xiao Chen a more intuitive understanding of the economy of Caochang Town or the rural areas of Dingqing District.

When he arrived at the house of the Wubao household, Xiao Chen was completely shocked, in the mid-nineties, there were still wooden planks and thatch to build a house to live in. When Xiao Chen stepped forward, he saw several village cadres and cadres from the town who had come here in advance leading an old woman estimated to be over seventy years old.

Seeing the old woman's trembling movements, Xiao Chen felt that it was a sin to let her come over to greet her, and hurriedly walked over to meet her.

Before Xiao Chen could speak, several cadres had already spoken: "Secretary Xiao has worked hard!" ”

"Secretary Xiao, please inside."

……

Xiao Chen responded casually, looked at the old woman, and said loudly: "Old man, hello, my name is Xiao Chen, and I came to pay you a greeting on behalf of the district party committee and district political axe!" ”

The old woman had already smiled, listened to Xiao Chen's words, and nodded again and again: "Xiao Chen? Well, okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

Xiao Chen and the surrounding cadres were stunned, Xiao Chen??

Hu Cheng suddenly glared at several cadres who came to greet the five guarantee households in advance, and those few people trembled in their hearts, how could this old mother be like this, I had already told her that I wanted to be called "Secretary Xiao", and they introduced Xiao Chen, so you climbed up the pole and called Xiao Chen, who are you.

A few people who were close hurriedly pulled the old woman secretly, and the old woman reacted and said busily: "Oh, oh, I made a mistake, little secretary, please inside." ”

Xiao Chen is really a little crying and laughing at this time, Xiao Chen for a while, Xiao Secretary for a while, there is no right sentence, but it is not easy to explain, at this age, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it for a while, forget it, the little secretary is the little secretary, at the age of the old woman, it is not wrong to call yourself a little secretary.
