Zhouli Township is located in the west of Longwan Town and the east of Duhe Township, 40 kilometers away from the county seat.

After Chen Guan got out of the Public Security Bureau, he originally planned to go home for lunch, but thinking about Miao Kunsheng's demeanor when he spoke, and then thinking about the enthusiasm of his comrades-in-arms in the Public Security Bureau, he felt that he couldn't stay in the county seat for a long time, and he had to talk for a long time when he met an acquaintance.

Chen Xuezhi and Zheng Yulian went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables, thinking about making dumplings for their son at noon.

Putting down the phone, Zheng Yulian suddenly remembered that her son was going to Zhouli Township to pass by Longwan Town, and she could go back to Wulongyu to have a look, so she immediately picked up her mobile phone and called her son, asking him not to leave in a hurry after returning to Wulongyu, and after a while, she and Chen Xuezhi rushed back immediately.

What answered Zheng Yulian was Chen Guan's "don't go back to Wulongyu".

Chen Guan is not a Dayu who controls the water, and he has no intention of passing through the door three times without entering, but he is indeed guilty now, and feels that he has not yet arrived after serving as the secretary of the Zhouli Township Party Committee for half a year, so he can't say it. Therefore, rush to Zhouli Township!

When he left the county seat, Chen Guan originally wanted to call Yu Kecheng, the head of Zhouli Township, and tell him that he had returned to Mingshui and would go to Zhouli Township to report to work today. But after thinking about it, he didn't make this call, he wanted to make an unannounced visit to find out the real situation in Zhouli Township.

When the car arrived at Longwan Town, Chen Guan deliberately slowed down the speed of the car, looked out the window, and saw that there were tourist cars and vans on the tourist road leading to Wulongyu in Longwan Town, and then looked at the billboard of "Good mountains and good waters, Wulongyu, welcome you in the Bai family compound" standing on the roadside bridge, the images of Bai Aixiao and Bai Aiyue sisters are still so beautiful and moving, and the deep dimples are full of smiles, so they are relieved, so they continue to go west.

Unlike Longwan Township, Zhouli Township is all mountainous and does not have a flat area.

The Mingshui River flows out of the mountains at the junction of Zhouli Township and Longwan Town, and enters the beautiful and rich Mingshui River, the land on both sides is fertile, the crops are luxuriant, the houses are like houses, and the traffic is strange, it is indeed a good place.

Zhouli Township is all mountainous, and there is no Pingchuan.

Chen Guan originally returned to Wulongyu and the county seat from Tonghua Town, and passed through Zhouli Township. It's just that at that time, he never thought that he would one day become the secretary of the party committee of Zhouli Township, and he didn't pay attention to the situation in Zhouli Township. This time is equivalent to his first time in Zhouli Township.

Out of the boundary of Longwan Town, along the road in the valley to the west, until he saw a family of two breaking corn in the field on the side of the road, Chen Guan stopped the car, got out of the car and walked over.

"Brother, are you busy?"

"Hey, hey!"

"This corn is good, the ears are big, the grains are full, it looks like six or seven hundred catties of one acre of land!"

"Hey, hey!"

The people in the mountains are warm, but they are not good at words, seeing that the man is only busy breaking corn, Chen Guan felt a little bored, so he said again: "You are early corn, right?" Ripe so early. ”

Then the man replied, "Your eyes are good, my kind of corn is early, and it ripens early." However, I planted it in the nest. The late corn is not ripe yet, and I am afraid that it will not be broken until the National Day. ”

Early corn is left in advance and planted in spring. Late corn is planted after the wheat has been harvested. In the past two years, interseeding has also been implemented, which is a new technology, which is to plant corn in the ridges of wheat seedling fields. In this way, the corn ripens early.

Chen Guan asked the man how many acres of corn he planted.

The man replied that he had planted five or six acres.

Chen Guan thought about it for a while, and said that with these five or six acres of corn, the family would not have to worry about their life this year.

When he said this, the man shook his head when he heard this, saying that he made a fortune from agriculture, and there was no door!

Seeing that Chen Guan had been standing, the man was embarrassed to work anymore, walked over and sat down on the corn stalk bale, took out a pack of banana leaf cigarettes for a few cents, handed one to Chen Guan, and asked Chen Guan to sit down and smoke.

Smoking a cigarette, the man settled the account for Chen Guan, calculated the input of wheat, starting from seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, and calculated it all the way to the yield and price per mu. That is, to live by the autumn harvest.

In the end, the man said that when the reform and opening up was just a few years ago, the production was contracted to the households, and the enthusiasm of the croppers for farming was mobilized at once. At that time, selling grain for 10,000 yuan was famous. Not now, the price of fertilizers is rising, the price of pesticides is rising, the price of everything is rising, that is, the price of food is not rising. The slope land in the mountains is not as watered as the water in the river, the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood, and the yield is high, the slope land in the mountain, the soil quality is good, at most it is an acre of land to beat seven or eight hundred catties of wheat, which has to be the heart of the depression and the dam nest in the village. In general, the yield hovers between two or three hundred catties and five or six hundred catties. A year with a lot of rain will bring a good harvest; In the event of a drought, production is drastically reduced. Therefore, don't be a farmer these days, you will be tired and tired and not make money!

In fact, Chen Guan knows these situations in his heart, his family is an old family in Wulongyu, and he has been farming with his parents since he was a child, can he not be clear?

Chen Guan asked if the township and the village did not organize everyone to plant some cash crops?

The man said, don't mention it, whoever listens to the township will be fooled! The township called on everyone to plant green onions, but the green onions grew very well, but unfortunately they couldn't be sold; The township called on everyone to grow medicinal herbs, saying that one pound could sell several pieces. As a result, no one bought the medicinal herbs, and all of them were thrown away. The common people also figured out that the information in the township was all late information, and it was all a slap in the ass. If there is a lack of that kind of medicinal material in front, the price will naturally rise, and whoever grows it will get rich. When everyone plants it in the second year, it will naturally be worthless, and whoever plants it will be unlucky!

The man concluded that this is all a bad thing done by the township cadres with good intentions, and it is understandable. The key is that the current township cadres and village cadres are a group of people who eat people's food and don't do people's affairs, except for collecting family planning fines and collecting villages to retain township co-ordination, what else will they do? Rely on them, the year is wrong!

Chen Guan heard that his face was full of fever!

The mother-in-law, who was still breaking corn, spoke, and shouted at her own man: "You bastard, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Don't you see a police car parked on the side of the road? Aren't you afraid of being arrested and detained? ”

At this shout, the man really kept silent, and after smoking, he ignored Chen Guan and went to break corn again.

Chen Guan had no choice but to get up, return to the car, and continue to drive.

Zhouli Township Government is located on the side of the highway from Mingshui to Tonghua Town, in addition to the town police station, town tax office, industrial and commercial office, credit cooperative, supply and marketing cooperative, non-staple food store, township health center, grain depot, primary school, middle school and other township departments, is a few individual stores, individual restaurants, a street is only a few hundred meters long, very deserted.

Compared with the prosperity of Tonghua Town, Zhouli Township is obviously too backward!

It was time for lunch when Chen Guan drove into Zhouli Street.

Look at the watch, it's already past 12 o'clock, and when I go to the township government at this time, it is estimated that there is no food in the canteen. Chen Guan simply sat down in a restaurant on the street that looked fairly clean, looking at the price list posted on the wall, thinking about what to eat.

It's meal time, and there are quite a few people eating in the restaurant.

Chen Guan was wearing a white shirt and jeans, standing there tall and big, and at first glance he was not an ordinary person.

The owner of the restaurant was very enthusiastic, and came over to look at Chen Guan, saying that rice, stir-fried vegetables, mutton soup, mutton stewed noodles, egg noodles, soup noodles and everything are available, and if you want to drink beer, there are cold dishes.

Chen Guan asked for a bowl of mutton stewed noodles.

Before the rice was served, I saw a middle-aged man in a tax uniform come in with a pot, and shouted when he came in: "Lao Zhang, come to a bowl of mutton soup!" ”

It turns out that the owner of this restaurant is surnamed Zhang!

The owner of the restaurant, Lao Zhang, had already put the pot on the fire, ready to make stewed noodles for Chen Guan, but when he heard the shout, he immediately put down the pot in his hand and walked out, with a smile on his face, and greeted: "Wang Tax, rare guest?" Okay, you wait, I'll make you the fresh mutton soup that I just boiled today. ”

After speaking, Lao Zhang took the pot in Wang Shui's hand and entered the operation room. After a while, Lao Zhang walked out with a pot of mutton soup, and carried a plastic bag in his hand, which contained seven or eight baked cakes, and handed one piece to Wang Tax.

Wang Shui didn't even mean to pay for it, so he left with a pot and baked cakes.

As soon as Wang Tax's back disappeared, Lao Zhang's wife began to scold Lao Zhang, saying that Wang Shui was his father or his father? Is it worth his filial piety? That big pot of mutton soup came for nothing? How many bowls of lamb soup do you sell to earn back?

Lao Zhang scolded his wife for having long hair and short knowledge, so she had nothing to do and sit there to peel green onions, less verbose!

Chen Guan thought that it would be his turn to make braised noodles for him next, so he sat down at a table and smoked a cigarette, waiting for the stewed noodles to be served.

It was really a coincidence on this day, Lao Zhang was just about to make stewed noodles for Chen Guan, and four more people came in, and as soon as they entered the door, they began to order cold dishes and a bundle of beer.

The restaurant dishes are more profitable than the noodles, and if someone wants to drink, Lao Zhang must be busy serving cold dishes and getting beer first.

Chen Guan waited for a while and couldn't wait for the stewed noodles he wanted, and was about to get up and leave, when he heard Lao Zhang say to the four drinkers: "Director Li, when will Secretary Chen of our township come back to take office?" ”

A middle-aged man in his forties replied: "Then you have to ask Secretary Chen himself, or go to Secretary Miao, County Magistrate Wang, Secretary Cui, and Minister Yao in the county." Can I know when Secretary Chen will take office? ”

Another man picked up the beer bottle and poured it into the glass, saying as he poured it, "me!" If Secretary Chen doesn't come, you are opening a hotel; Secretary Chen, you still open a hotel. Secretary Chen doesn't go to work or not, will you be a ball? ”

Lao Zhang cried and said with a sad face: "Secretary Chen doesn't go to work or not, it's too much of a problem for me." I'm waiting for him to come and settle the bill for me! There are a lot of white strips in the township, and every time I go to ask for money, I say no, saying that I will wait until Secretary Chen takes office. If Secretary Chen never comes to Zhouli Township to take office, won't I want this money? ”

Director Li, who was in his forties, said, "So that's what you're worried about!" I'll tell you, it's coming. It turned out that Secretary Chen went to the training camp for half a year, but now it has been more than half a year. Maybe I'll be back to work one day! ”

Lao Zhang still said with a sad face: "When Secretary Tong left, let me go to find Yu Kecheng, and now Yu Kecheng is the township head, and I will wait for Secretary Chen to take office." But I can't afford to wait, if Secretary Chen doesn't take office again, my hotel will be closed. The two of me went to work in the canteen of the township government, cooked for the big guys, and waited for the account. ”

Director Li said: "Then dare to be kind, you go quickly, Lao Hu of the government canteen doesn't have your skills, you can take him away, we can also enjoy the taste and eat something delicious!" ”

Lao Zhang was said to have lost his temper completely, sighed and returned to the operation room, and then began to make braised noodles for Chen Guan.

After the stewed noodles came up, Chen Guan chewed slowly and ate unhurriedly. It wasn't until the four of them drank beer and finished eating, signed the white slip that Lao Zhang took out, and left, that Chen Guan settled the bill.

At noon on September 16, Chen Guan drove the police car assigned to him by the county bureau into the Zhouli Township Government compound.

Chen Guan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhouli Township, quietly came to office!
