Fairy Mountain is located in the north of Zhouli Township, with an altitude of 1,884 meters.

On this morning, Chen Guan led Fan Zhongzhong, Hou Shuangcheng, and Yi Jingfu to Caoshi Village at the foot of Fairy Mountain.

If Zhouli Township is a mountainous township, Caoshi Village is a deep mountain village in Zhouli Township, and it is still 13 kilometers away from Zhouli Street, where the township government is located!

Caoshi Village has a total of 900 people and 8 villager groups, distributed in the ditch and valley on the sunny slope of Fairy Mountain.

The road leading to Caoshi Village is only one width wide, the jeep is driving on the winding mountain road, the driver Xiao Li's forehead is full of sweat beads, and occasionally encounters a frame car on the road can not dodge, must stop the car, and think of letting the frame car pass, the jeep can continue to move forward.

When the car arrived at Caoshi Village, Chen Guan took a closer look, this village is not big, the whole terrain is like a rattan chair, the village is located on the sunny slope of a mountain beam, from north to south, there are village committees, clinics, sales outlets, primary schools, residents, the houses are mainly adobe walls, tile roofs of tile houses, including schools, are also this kind of houses, but there are also newly built brick to top of the new tile houses, there is no bungalow.

Caoshi Village is actually the largest natural village in Caoshi Administrative Village, with about 40 households and more than 200 people.

Yang Chengwu, the village party secretary, is not in the village committee, so he should have gone to work in the fields.

Someone came from the township, and a little girl from the village sales point hurriedly ran to call Yang Chengwu.

Yang Chengwu really went to work in the field, and when he came back with the little girl, as soon as he saw Fan Zhongzhong, Hou Shuangcheng, Yi Jingfu, Xiao Li and others, he greeted him warmly: "Coming?" Have you drunk the soup? ”

Fan Zhongzhong and Yang Chengwu should be very familiar with each other, and introduced Yang Chengwu to Chen Guan and made an introduction.

Yang Chengwu grinned, smiled, and said to Chen Guan: "I heard that our township transferred a secretary Chen who can be literate and martial, and he is very young, but I didn't expect to be so young!" The township hasn't been notified of the meeting yet, and I'm still thinking about going to the township tomorrow to see and meet Secretary Chen, but I didn't expect Secretary Chen to come first! Let's go, go to the house and sit down, and the people in my house will come back soon and boil water and cook for us! ”

When the local mountain people in Mingshui call their lovers, they don't say daughters-in-law, cousins, mothers-in-law, etc., they generally humbly call them "people in the house", the meaning is very complicated, there are not only the remnants of the low status of women in the feudal thought of the past, but also the simple expression of the mountain people, as well as the intimacy between husband and wife.

Chen Guan did not follow Yang Chengwu to his house, saying that he would go around first and strive to get the village groups to take a walk.

Chen Guan wanted to go to the village groups to have a look, but Yang Chengwu naturally had nothing to say, but said that the village was too scattered, and if he wanted to go around, he would have to run for a day.

Chen Guan asked if the jeep couldn't drive to the villagers' groups?

Yang Chengwu said that the jeep could go, and it depended on Xiao Li's skills.

Xiao Li on the side was so anxious that he waved his hand: "You don't need to look at the technology, no matter how good my skills are, it's useless, it's all pure country dirt roads, I can only take a frame car, I can't drive over!" ”

Yang Chengwu was not convinced, saying that it was clear that the tractor could go, why couldn't the jeep go?

Chen Guan was too lazy to listen to Yang Chengwu and Xiao Li raise the bar, turned his head and left. Yang Chengwu had no choice but to trot in front of Chen Guan to lead the way.

The village groups in Caoshi Village are indeed too scattered, and those who cross the mountains and mountains can clearly see the village, but as a result, it is indeed difficult to walk from the head of the ridge to the bottom of the ditch, and from the top to the slope.

These people are all cadres in mountainous towns and towns, and they often go to the countryside, and climbing mountains and mountains is commonplace, but they will be tired if they keep walking like this. As a result, when he arrived at a village called Yuan Pimple, Fan Zhongzhong said that he had to rest, and he had to drink saliva.

Yang Chengwu is the village party secretary, and he grew up here, so he is very familiar with the situation of each family. This is the first time that the newly appointed township party secretary has come to Caoshi Village, and it is the first township party secretary in many years who is willing to go over the mountains and mountains to various natural villages.

As soon as he entered the door, without waiting for Yang Chengwu to speak, Xiao Li shouted: "Sister-in-law, are you at home?" Hurry up and boil water to cook, we're hungry! ”

It seems that Xiao Li and the family are very familiar.

A middle-aged woman about the same age as Yang Chengwu walked out of the house, and when she saw Yang Chengwu leading a few township cadres into the door, she said, "Are they all here?" Hurry up and sit down, I'll pour you tea first, and the meal will be fine for a while! ”

When Chen Guan saw that the woman was neatly dressed and spoke generously, he knew that this family must be a cadre family, that is, one of the cadres in Mingshui, with a man working outside and a daughter-in-law working at home.

Sure enough, after Yang Chengwu led Chen Guan and them into the house and sat down, he introduced to Chen Guan that the woman's name was Zhang Aiju, the man was Dr. Yang Xiuming from the township health center, two children, the daughter Yang Liwei also worked in the township health center after graduating from school, and a boy went to school in the township. Usually there is no one at home, this is the harvest of autumn, Zhang Aiju came back to greet the harvest.

Chen Guan understood in his heart that Yang Chengwu was afraid that Chen Guan would pay attention to hygiene and go to other villagers' homes to be dirty.

In fact, Chen Guan is a mountain baby, although Wulongyu has good mountains and rivers, and every household is surprisingly clean, but after all, it is a rural area, and he has to deal with farm fertilizer every day, no matter how clean he is, he will inevitably lose the earthy smell on his body, Chen Guan has never disliked the dirty homes of ordinary people.

After Zhang Aiju carried the teapot to brew the tea, she took out the white sugar jar and put two spoonfuls of white sugar in everyone's teacup, and then brought it to Chen Guan and them.

Fan Zhongzhong, Yi Jingfu, Hou Shuangcheng, and Xiao Li should be very familiar with Zhang Aiju, but Chen Guan was present, and none of them dared to joke, and they all pretended to be the same as the real ones, all of them drank water with teacups, and did not say a word.

Zhang Aiju didn't know Chen Guan, and Yang Chengwu didn't have time to introduce Chen Guan to her, she couldn't imagine that this young man was the newly appointed secretary of the township party committee and the leader of Zhouli Township. However, Fan Zhongzhong and they are all township cadres, and they are usually familiar with each other, and when they come to the door, they must have to cook.

When Zhang Aiju went to cook on the fire, Yang Chengwu said to Chen Guan: "Secretary Chen, Caoshi Village is the most remote mountain village in the township, and it is also a key poverty alleviation village. However, two or three waves of poverty alleviation teams have come, and they have all come from the city and county, and they have also done a lot of practical things for the village. Five groups in our village now have access to tap water and electricity, but the only big problem is that the main road leading to the village in the township is still a dirt road, and it is impossible to go out on a rainy day. Can you think of a way to build a road for us, even if it's a gravel road, so that we can run big cars. Everyone in our mountains has been looking forward to a big road rain or shine for several lifetimes! ”

This Yang Chengwu looked smirked, but he was the only village party secretary in the village that Chen Guan had turned around to make a clear appeal to him in person!

Fan Zhongzhong, Yi Jingfu, and Hou Shuangcheng looked at Chen Guan, because they had traveled to so many villages, and they had never heard Chen Guan criticize or praise the work of any village, nor had they seen him give specific instructions. Even if there are instructions, they are also mentioned to these township cadres.

Chen Guan drank tea and asked casually, "How many walk-behind tractors are there in the village?" ”

Yang Chengwu counted his fingers for a long time, said that there were three, and explained that the reason why there were so few was because there were still several villagers who could not run tractors on their roads, and if the roads were repaired, there would be more people buying tractors.

Yang Chengwu then began to settle accounts for Chen Guan, saying that if he bought bricks from Zhouli Street and shipped them back, the price of the bricks was one and a half cents a piece, and when they were transported to Caoshi Village, the freight alone was divided to one and a half cents, and each brick was one and a half cents more expensive than Zhouli Street! This is also one of the main reasons why there are few new houses and bungalows in Caoshi Village. Is the cost too high?

Chen Guan knew this in his heart, Wulongyu had the problem of saving zài, buying bricks from Longwan Town, each piece was a dime, and the freight cost was a dime for transporting it back to Wulongyu. There is no machine brick factory in Zhouli Township, and the bricks have to be transported from near the county seat, and the price itself is expensive, and Caoshi Village is farther away from Zhouli Street, the road conditions are worse, and the freight is more expensive.

Of course, Wulongyu has now built a tourist highway, and the problem of excessive freight has been solved!

Yang Chengwu swore that Caoshi Village has many woodlands, barren mountains, and a large land area, and there are many cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens! If the road can be built, the appearance of Caoshi Village will change a lot!

As if in order to persuade Chen Guan, Yang Chengwu then said: "Last year, the Municipal Bureau of Radio, Film and Television came to help the poor, and nothing else could be done, so he said that he would build a TV station for the village." I thought to myself, building 10 TV stations is not enough to build a road! However, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television is not a transportation bureau, and it does not have so much financial strength, so it can only repair the TV station for us. On the day of the cultivation, the young men in the village gathered around the village committee to watch TV, their eyes staring at the women on the TV, all of them straightened, like hungry wolves. I thought to myself, it's bad, because of the traffic jam, the boys can't talk about their daughters-in-law in recent years, and there are more and more singles, so I can watch TV, I have to make jokes! Sure enough, after watching TV, the eldest and second eldest of the Wang family, couldn't think about it when they went back, and they all drank pesticides. Fortunately, I found it early, and quickly called the township health center, Yang Xiuming is from my village, and I rushed back on a motorcycle after receiving the call, and gave the two stinky boys an enema, and then rescued them. Secretary Chen, tell me, isn't this all a disaster caused by no road? If the road is open, the boys in my village will definitely find a match! ”

After hearing this, Chen Guan said: "It's true, not only in your village, but also in many rural areas, the girls go out to work after graduating from school, and they don't come back, and the boys are getting more and more difficult to find a partner, and the bride price is getting more and more!" ”

Yang Chengwu continued: "If this development continues, the population of our village will become smaller and smaller. In thirty or fifty years, there may be no people on this mountain! ”

Chen Guan asked again: "Are the villagers willing to move to Zhouli Street to live?" ”

This is an important signal, Fan Zhongzhong, Hou Shuangcheng, and Yi Jingfu's ears immediately puffed up!

Yang Chengwu didn't think about it, and said directly: "Of course I am willing!" Move to Zhouli Street to live, at least the babies can talk about their daughters-in-law! ”

After speaking, Yang Chengwu looked at Chen Guan, shook his head, and said, "Secretary Chen is coaxing me, how can we move to Zhouli Street to live!" Where will people give us homestead landing? ”
