Without waiting for the car to stop, a thin man trotted towards the convoy, and ran accurately in front of Qi Tianxiang's car, and when the car stopped slightly, he quickly opened the car door and greeted Qi Tianxiang with a respectful smile.

"Hello Secretary Qi, welcome to our village for inspection and guidance, you are the biggest leader our village has received in recent years!"

As soon as Qi Tianxiang got out of the car, his hands were tightly held by a pair of big hands, and they kept shaking, very cordial and affectionate. [Ran^Text^Library] []

"This is Comrade Qingfeng, director of the village committee of Qinghe Village, and an outstanding leader of the masses to get rich." Feng Juncai walked over quickly, and introduced to Qi Tianxiang with a smile: "I am nearly sixty years old, and I am busy with the affairs of the village before and after running, and everyone is tired and thin. ”

"Secretary Feng will flatter people with a high hat that doesn't cost money, and it's not okay if you don't appreciate it." Qing Fengshou looked at Feng Juncai and joked honestly, as if he was not satisfied with Feng Juncai's praise, and hurriedly said to Qi Tianxiang with a smile on his face after speaking: "Secretary Qi, please come and sit in the house, it's too hot outside, and you can't stay still." ”

As he spoke, Qing Fengshou grabbed Qi Tianxiang's hand and almost pulled Qi Tianxiang into the house, for this kind of enthusiastic and almost rude behavior, Qi Tianxiang could only smile helplessly. Qi Tianxiang can still distinguish between truth and falsehood, but he doesn't want to worry too much, and he understands in his heart that behind this enthusiasm, it is not all false, and the intention to get closer to each other cannot be ruled out.

Under the dazzling light from outside, he suddenly entered the house, Qi Tianxiang's gaze was difficult to adapt for a while, and he waited for a while before slowly returning to normal. The so-called village committee is actually just a farmhouse, the only difference is the village rules and regulations posted on the wall, and some slogans, slogans and other things to distinguish the purpose of the house. A few old-fashioned desks with old colors are put together, and there is barely an office environment, but from the placement of the desks and the position of the chairs next to the desks, it is clear that this office is not full of people coming to work every day.

Instead, there were benches on the side of the wall, which made Qi Tianxiang immediately smell the smell of the past and feel the intimacy of the collective existence. It seems that only these seemingly casual benches bear the imprint of a bygone era, and also distinguish the boundary between reality and history.

"Secretary Qi, please take a seat." Qingfeng pulled Qi Tianxiang into the office, slowly let go of his hand, proudly looked around the furnishings in the office, and slowly said to Qi Tianxiang: "Our remote village, the conditions are very average, and please don't mind Secretary Qi, in fact, most of the village committees are roughly the same." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked around the office, watching the people behind him walk in one after another, and the room soon became a little crowded, so he didn't respond positively to Qing Fengshou's words, but looked at Qing Fengshou and said gently; "I also talked to you Secretary Feng just now, your name is good! Auspicious, auspicious, but also full of abundance and joy, if every sowing of the seed, there is the same result as your name, how happy it would be! ”

"How can there be so many harvests to celebrate! I've lived to be 60 years old, how many times have I ever encountered a real harvest celebration? Qingfeng Harvest seemed to understand the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, and said self-deprecatingly: "Now is not much time for ordinary people to celebrate the harvest!" Not to mention whether it is a bumper harvest or not, it is a bumper harvest, and it is difficult to reconcile, it is not easy! ”

Looking at Qing Fengshou shaking his head and complaining, Feng Juncai took over the words, and seemed to say unintentionally: "Secretary Qi came here this time, not to see your office conditions, in the morning, I saw not only your mature cornfield, but also your lotus fragrant reservoir, whether to celebrate the harvest is your old buddy's business, but now Secretary Qi's mouth is dry, it's always okay to drink some water first!" ”

Seeing Feng Juncai's intimidating and angry expression, Qing Fengshou knew that Feng Juncai had seen through his trick, so he smiled and said: "Of course you can't snub your guests, I may not have other good teas here, and Secretary Qi of Lotus Qinghuo Tea must not have drunk it, no matter how hot it is this season, drinking lotus tea will clear your heart and eyes, and there is absolutely no problem with benefiting qi and calming your nerves." ”

Qingfeng said, and hurriedly beckoned the people in the village to pour tea. Hearing the order to celebrate the harvest, the people in the village immediately went in and out, and soon everyone had an extra cup of clear and green tea in front of them. It is said that it is lotus tea, but in fact, it should be called lotus leaf tea more accurately, and the smell emitted is more bitter than floral.

Qi Tianxiang glanced at the lotus tea in front of him, and then looked at the slightly crowded cadres in the room, and said with a faint smile at Qingfengshou: "The place in your house is too small to dance, I think it is better to move a few benches and talk openly in the yard, or you can invite a few old people from the village to come over, and everyone can chat together, easily exchange ideas and requirements, and also give advice to the county." ”

"I see that Secretary Qi's instructions are very wise, find a few representative villagers to come over, everyone is open to talk, any opinions and requirements are put forward, Secretary Qi can also learn more about everyone's ideas, or the real situation at the grassroots level." Feng Juncai followed Qi Tianxiang's topic, looking at Qing Fengshou with a deep sense of provocation in his eyes, as if he had anticipated Qing Fengshou's true thoughts, knowing that not all the villagers agreed with his idea, because Qing Fengshou was forcing himself to reduce his commission, and many villagers were also forcing him to let go of the collective monopoly of farmhouses along the reservoir, so that he could get some specific benefits in the upcoming feast of leisure tourism. This is also the weakness of Qingfeng, once the county decides to withdraw, the collective monopoly operation along the reservoir is bound to give up some interests, after all, the cultivated land along the reservoir actually belongs to the villagers, so this is also the purpose of his hope that Qingfeng Harvest will engage in corporatized management, which can not only solve the problem of land use, but also better balance the income expectations of the villagers.

"Or, have a symposium, there will be time anyway." Feng Juncai consciously raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and slowly thought about it: "Secretary Qi has other arrangements in the afternoon, and he has to leave after dinner." ”

"There are so many people in this room at once, it's a little crowded." Qing Fengshou glanced at Feng Juncai deeply, seemed to grin tacitly, and then turned his face to Qi Tianxiang and said with a smile: "It's not to refute your face, you have also been busy all morning, and it's almost time to eat, why don't I take you to see the changes in our village and give some specific instructions for the construction of our new countryside." ”

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang did not have a clear intention of objecting, Qingfeng stood up and asked Qi Tianxiang to go first. Then after Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi went out, they hurriedly walked out of the office, walked out of the small courtyard of the village committee, and took the lead in front of a tour bus, waiting for Qi Tianxiang and his party.

"Please Secretary Qi and Secretary Feng to get in the car to the county magistrate." Qingfeng smiled at Qi Tianxiang and the others and said, "I will take the leaders to the village for a walk. ”

After Qi Tianxiang got into the car, Qingfeng waved a villager and whispered a few words, and then slowly got into the car and started slowly.

"This is a tour bus specially purchased by Lao Qing for tourism, which can not only tour along the reservoir, but also take guests to the crop fields to play." Feng Juncai explained to Qi Tianxiang, who was sitting next to him: "And all the roads along the reservoir restrict motor vehicles, and all vehicles are parked in the reservoir parking lot, and then change to electric tour buses to travel, which is environmentally friendly and safe, very convenient, and very thoughtful." ”

"It's a lot of ideas, so it's not only standardized, but also a good scenery for the tour bus to shuttle through the green shade of the reservoir." Qi Tianxiang was in a good mood and said leisurely.

"And it's free to use, whether it's a group or an individual guest, it is delivered to the place where you want to go safely and on time." Qing Fengshou took over and said: "This is Secretary Feng's suggestion, which seems to provide convenience, but in fact, it also effectively controls the movement of tourists, and can adjust the density of people at any time according to the flow of passengers, and arrange the route of guests." ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Qingfeng's words, did not speak, but turned his face and glanced at Feng Juncai deeply, with a heavy sense of appreciation in his eyes.

The tour bus left Qinghe Village, along the cement road, out of the village, and slowly drove towards the mountains behind the village, Qi Tianxiang looked at Feng Juncai suspiciously, seeing him smile and not speak, knowing that he meant that there was no need to explain, and there would be a result soon.

It didn't seem to have much time, the tour bus stopped on a half-slope platform, got out of the car, and saw a large open field, and the excavator in the distance digging deep in front of the non-stop dirt slope. When you turn around, you will be greeted by the smooth mirror-like reservoir not far away, as well as the scattered houses in Qinghe Village, which overlook and converge harmoniously, forming a harmonious picture of a natural and quiet waterside village, which is very idyllic.

"It's beautiful here, standing here in the reservoir and the small village are all under my nose, I can't see enough." Qingfeng walked to Qi Tianxiang's side, sighed sincerely, then turned around and pointed to the empty field in front of him, and proudly said to Qi Tianxiang: "This is our new Qinghe Village, and we are going to dig some more inside, so that we can build our new farmer's home." ”

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang's attention turned to the empty field, Qing Fengshou said proudly: "If you look at it again in two years, this will be a brand-new two-story building with orderly planning, and there will be more than 60 families in the village, and every family will live in one building, how beautiful it should be." ”

Qi Tianxiang understood the intention of celebrating the harvest and built the new village on a slightly higher platform, which can not only save arable land, but also effectively protect the water quality of the reservoir, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. I couldn't help but be amazed by the long-term consideration of the village, so I said while watching: "It's really good here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is pleasant, but what about the village below, after leveling, replanting?" ”

"I can't bear it, I don't have dozens of acres of land, the income from recultivation is not large, and it also has an impact on the overall environment around the reservoir. Qing Fengshou looked at Qi Tianxiang's puzzled eyes, and couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "Secretary Feng is far-sighted, and suggests that after our new village is built, the old village should properly retain some distinctive houses and courtyards, and the appearance is still the original countryside, and the closer to the countryside in the past, the better, the inside is decorated according to the appearance of the hotel in the city, and the village and family hotel are built, so that the people in the city can feel the original style of the countryside, and let the young children of the present be novel." ”

"It's a good idea, it's practical." Qi Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but turn around and look at the village at the foot of the slope, imagining the appearance of becoming a country hotel, and said with emotion: "The idea is very forward-looking, so that young people who are tired of the noisy life of the city can relax and return to the countryside, get close to nature, not only can they take a leisurely vacation, but also think about the true meaning of life well, this idea is good!" ”

"This is all Secretary Feng's thoughts, including the new village we are going to build now, which is the place that Secretary Feng chose for us, which used to be a barren grass slope, and it was Secretary Feng who suggested that we level it out, which does not occupy an area and does not require effort." Qingfeng Harvest seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say, and it was difficult to suppress his excitement and said to Qi Tianxiang: "Secretary Feng and Xiang County Magistrate are the affairs of our village, but they are not less worried, from the construction of reservoirs, to village planning, from the planting of lotus vegetables, to storage and deep processing, as well as the selection and production of field crops, they are all heartbroken, and they always have to come one or twenty times a year, and the people in our village say that Secretary Feng and Xiang County Magistrate are our village's own secretary and county magistrate. ”

"That's how it should be, they themselves are the secretaries and county magistrates of all the villagers in Qinghe Village." Qi Tianxiang looked at Qingfeng Harvest firmly and solemnly, then turned his face and looked at Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi appreciatively, nodded deeply, and said sincerely: "What reward is not as good as the people's sincere appreciation, the gold and silver cups are not as good as the people's reputation, you have done it, and you have done it very well, this is not easy." ”

Looking at Feng Juncai and Xiang Youzhi's embarrassed expressions, Qi Tianxiang didn't want to say anything, so he smiled and asked Qing Fengshou, "Come down and show me something!" ”

"The school and the nursing home are doing well, but there are no outstanding features, so I won't invite Secretary Qi to see it." Qing Fengshou pondered and said, "Just ask Secretary Qi to go to our farmhouse and taste our farmhouse food." ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled and nodded, which can be regarded as agreeing to the request to celebrate the harvest. Turning around and getting back on the tour bus, he watched the surrounding scenery, let the tour bus take him, slowly skirted the village, and went straight to the reservoir.

The tour bus stopped in front of a courtyard, and Qi Tianxiang followed the harvest into the farmhouse. Under the pergola erected in the courtyard, Yao Ling, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang and the people in the county all sat leisurely around the two stone tables, and when they saw Qi Tianxiang and them coming in, they all stood up one after another.

Qi Tianxiang waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, walked slowly to the pergola, looked at the grape vines crawling all over the grid, and the clusters of heavy grapes hanging down between the dark green leaves, he suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and also felt much cooler, turned to Feng Juncai behind him and said: "What is the paradise like, I really haven't seen it, I guess it's just like that!" ”

"That's where it is! Let Lao Qing take you to the backyard to see, that's the real countryside! Feng Juncai smiled heartily and said: "A puddle of green leeks, a few tomatoes, the long beans on the vine trellis and the thorny cucumber with the top flower, which seem to crush the vines, and the eggplant hidden low under the wide leaves, glowing with a mysterious purple luster, as if playing hide and seek with others." It's the season when the vegetables are fragrant, and it's beautiful! ”

"I really didn't expect that Secretary Feng, who is five big and three coarse, would still be so introverted and express his feelings in a crepe manner." Qi Tianxiang was very interested, jokingly teasing everyone, watching everyone laugh good-naturedly, he looked at Qingfeng and said, "Since Lao Feng said so, then let me feel it too!" ”

As the harvest slowly walked through the two-storey building, to the back of the building, as Feng Juncai said, the courtyard was full of green and a fruitful scene, several different areas planted with different vegetables, red tomatoes, green leeks, purple eggplants, white beans, and cucumbers with thorns on the top flowers, these inconspicuous common vegetables, concentrated in a courtyard, appear fresh and abundant, so that people suddenly have a sense of cordiality and joy, with a very beautiful visual impression.

After looking at the vegetable garden in the backyard, Qi Tianxiang entered the small building with the bumper harvest, looking at the rooms with bright windows and clean windows, as well as the internal environment with complete living facilities, he was very satisfied, although he didn't say anything, but the excitement was irrepressible.

"It's really good, such an environment, such a state of life, the ancients could never have imagined." Qi Tianxiang returned to the pergola in the front yard and said to Feng Juncai with satisfaction: "You are right, we should really celebrate the harvest at noon." ”

Some of the words caused laughter in the courtyard, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was immediately lively, and lasted until the end of lunch.

Since Qi Tianxiang proposed not to drink, lunch was eaten quickly, and the table was full of peasant dishes, especially the lotus vegetables-based "cold lotus vegetables", "honey fresh lotus root", "lotus leaf steamed pork", "fragrant lotus root pork rib soup", although they were all very ordinary home-cooked dishes, Qi Tianxiang ate very fragrant and comfortable.

Qingfeng Harvest continued to introduce the characteristics of each dish to Qi Tianxiang, the practice and nutrition are very detailed, such as a number of treasures, it seems that it is a kind of enjoyment to say it, but rarely move chopsticks to eat, but keep putting vegetables on Qi Tianxiang's plate, each dish always gives Qi Tianxiang some first, and then warmly beckons everyone to eat. tried to divert the topic several times, but when Qi Tianxiang was enjoying the dishes, he couldn't open his mouth, so that he couldn't find the right time for a meal.

After the meal, Qi Tianxiang proposed to go to the next stop and rest on the way. Although Qingfeng was a little reluctant, he had to send Qi Tianxiang to the car with joy, and kept saying, please come back in a few years, and then take a look at the changes and development of Qinghe Village.

Qi Tianxiang said goodbye to Qingfeng with a smile, until the car drove far away, and the smile did not disappear on his face, as if this smile came from the heart and was fixed on his face
