Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan smiled, although the mountain people are simple and open-minded, but this spirit of being content with the status quo is really disagreeable.

And the root cause of Blueprint and the villagers' lack of progress' has to be attributed to our Township Chief Zhong, who 'always asks for money'.

It is precisely under the guidance of Township Mayor Zhong to vigorously carry forward the 'spirit of turning the edge' that Jinxi Township has repeatedly asked for rich funds from the county and the province, which can ensure that these villagers will not be too poor and will always remain in a class that cannot be fed but will not starve to death.

Each time, Township Chief Zhong was able to name a large number of reasons why the township construction was in urgent need of funds, the livelihood of ethnic minorities was in urgent need of poverty alleviation, and the location and transportation improvement of ethnic townships were in urgent need of support.

A few years ago, the leaders of the provincial party committee headed by Ning Lizhong approved a hydropower project for Jinxi Township in order to promote the economic development of the ethnic township.

Of course, he was also heartbroken, but there was a way to remedy it, that is, in the second year, he changed the name of the original project and reported it, which won more funds, and in five years, he actually ran up to more than 6 million yuan of various support funds, which can almost create an unprecedented historical record, and it is no wonder that none of the leaders above are waiting to see him.

Therefore, Township Chief Zhong's mentality became more and more calm, as for the people in the countryside, they all knew that he was working hard for everyone's life, even if there was no change in the township except for some mountain roads and a few power lines, and the people's income did not increase, but they never complained about him.

As for those poverty alleviation funds, rumors say that the head of Zhong Township never takes more than a penny, but some of the funds have become wages, some have repaid the debts of the township, and some have been used to help those poor households.

Subsequently, Chen Mingyuan didn't say a word more, and after Blueprint got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Zhu Zhentao helped: "Secretary Chen, in all fairness, Township Chief Zhong is actually a good person, at least upright, and sympathetic to the people, let's just say that most of these villages have simple customs, and there has never been petty theft or ruffians, and the overall trend is still good." ”

"I admit he's a good guy, but he's not fit to be a good officer."

Chen Mingyuan chuckled lightly and said meaningfully: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, if you don't solve the problem from the source, even if he can be full of the world's fate, he will also drink to quench his thirst, and it is the common people who will suffer the most!" ”

…………

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and in the afternoon of spring dawn, Qingtan Village is immersed in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, listening quietly, and there are vaguely beautiful folk songs echoing in the slowly swaying bamboo sea.

Chen Mingyuan walked in the village, looking at the surrounding mountains and bamboo seas, only to see the mountain wind blowing strongly, wave after wave of bamboo branches in the wind undulating non-stop, like the tide of the sea endlessly, sweeping the world, resounding in this piece of Lang Qiankun, directly making people's hearts wide and happy.

Although he is not very satisfied with the development of Jinxi Township, Chen Mingyuan still feels comfortable with the simple and kind kindness of the villagers, and sometimes even thinks that he is trying his best to change and improve the appearance of this hidden village.

Perhaps, the choice is left to the villagers themselves.

As he walked, he gradually noticed that the village was surprisingly lively, with families jubilant, some pounding food and snacks, and others setting up a round table in the open space in the middle of the village, as if preparing for a grand event.

"Tomorrow is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, also known as the Wufan Festival, which is the traditional festival of the She people."

A melodious and pleasant sound pierced the ear holes, and at some point, Ye Qingxue appeared beside her, holding the glutinous rice wrapped in black rice leaves, and explained softly: "At this time of year, the people of all over the country will steam black rice in order to commemorate the national hero Lei Wanxing, and then have a family meal and hold a dance party. ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled: "Then we really owe this national hero's blessing." ”

Ye Qingxue pursed her cherry lips, smiled slightly, and gently curled the corners of her pink lips, like the finishing touch, outlining that stunning face vividly, beautiful and moving, and then watching her walk under the light and shadow, the pure white and soft silk leisure suit, and the surrounding green set against each other, more and more show her icy and jade characteristics.

Chen Mingyuan looked a little distracted, and in a trance, a green and graceful shadow jumped out in front of him, what a déjà vu.

Ye Qingxue saw him staring at herself in a daze, and her snowy cheeks couldn't help but appear a touching crimson, lowered her eyes, and said shyly and flatteringly: "What are you looking at!" ”

Chen Mingyuan shook his head, and suddenly, a strong wind blew, instantly blowing the bamboo forest, only to see that from the bamboo forest in the distance, there was a sudden wave, which was a whole piece of bamboo being suppressed and blown by the strong wind. A moment later, when the wind passed, the verdant waves fell neatly in the same direction along the mountains, like the waves of the sea. At the same time, the sound of countless green bamboos shaking turned into a "whoosh" sound, and they kept whispering.

Looking at this beautiful scenery of heaven and earth, Ye Qingxue was also hooked, watched quietly for a while, brushed the green silk on her ears and temples, and whispered: "I suddenly remembered the spring three years ago...... When I was in Yeosan. ”

For a moment, Chen Mingyuan's heart twitched violently, stopped, looked back in the direction of the west, and then passed, it was Lishan City, looking back at the past three years ago, Yiren didn't know where Lu Dao was at the moment.

When she said this heartfelt words that took all her courage to reveal, Ye Qingxue only felt that her heart was numb, her chest was short and stuffy several times, and a layer of delicate pink floating in her ears gradually became rich, and she was clutching her fists and silently waiting for a response, but in the end, she waited for a sentence that made her body cold.

"Any news of her lately?" Chen Mingyuan's expression was calm, but his eyes dimmed a little.

Ye Qingxue looked at his face, her starry eyes immediately dimmed a little, gritted her silver teeth to endure the sourness in her heart, looked at the walking toes, and said lightly: "I haven't contacted her for a while, I don't know ...... very well" But as soon as she saw his lonely demeanor, she couldn't bear it, so she added: "But when I was hospitalized, she contacted me once, and she was still recuperating outside, so we don't have to worry." ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded silently.

Ye Qingxue took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "Have you decided to go to her next?" ”

Chen Mingyuan retracted his gaze and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a shout from behind him.

"Brother Chen, look who I found!"

Peaches jumped behind the two of them in a hurry, and pulled the She girl next to her.

Chen Mingyuan looked back, couldn't it be the vegetable girl Lan Qianyi.

"Brother Chen, hello, hello!" Lan Qianyi hurriedly bowed, and he didn't know if he was panting or excited, and his face was flushed.

Chen Mingyuan stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "I'm here for a trip, don't be so formal, let the villagers see it, and think I'm here to show off my authority." ”

Lan Qianyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Brother Chen is a good person, just now I heard that you sent a lot of items to everyone, and they all praised you for your kindness." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled and asked, "How is your mother's condition?" ”

Lan Qianyi smiled and said, "It's much better, after taking a few pills in the past few days, you can come out and walk around." ”

"It's not enough to just take medicine, when I'm free, take her to the city to see a doctor, if you have difficulties in this regard, I'll let Peaches know when I turn around." Chen Mingyuan admonished, glanced at her tanned skin again, and sighed: "In addition, at the age you are studying, it is better to go back to school as soon as possible, only when you learn knowledge, you will have a greater ability to improve the situation at home." ”

Lan Qianyi was suddenly depressed and speechless, she didn't want to go back to study, but the predicament at home made her have no energy or conditions to relive these things.

Chen Mingyuan is a little uncomfortable, the children here go to school is also a big problem, the nearest primary school is dozens of miles away, I don't know how many mountain roads to walk every day, not to mention the tuition and book fees are only a few dozen yuan, but for the villagers of this mountain village, it is a huge expense.

At this time, Zhu Zhentao and others also came up, and Chen Mingyuan instructed: "Even if poverty cannot be eliminated temporarily, at least the education of these children in the mountains must be guaranteed. ”

Zhu Zhentao nodded again and again, and understood that Secretary Chen wanted to build a hope school nearby, which was not very difficult, even if he did not collect donations from the society and enterprises, it would be more than enough to set aside about 200,000 yuan from the poverty alleviation funds, and if the scale was reduced, tens of thousands of yuan would be enough, and he pondered for a while, and said: "However, the poverty alleviation fund is still under the management of the Finance Bureau, and I am afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns......

Chen Mingyuan naturally knew his little bit of caution, because of the problem of poverty alleviation funds, he still hated Miao Yu to the core, waved his hand, and said: "It is related to the people's livelihood, and County Magistrate Huang will understand and support it, in addition, in view of Ruining's heavy poverty alleviation plan, I will discuss with Mayor Liang when I go back, and divide the poverty alleviation work from the county government office and agricultural office, and set up a poverty alleviation and development office separately, you have a preparation in advance." ”

Zhu Zhentao was overjoyed, if he could set up a poverty alleviation office alone and then take charge of it himself, the authority would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds, and at that time, he could not only get rid of Huang Shishen's constraints, but even trample Miao Yuxi under his feet!
