Jinxi Township is located in the southwest corner of Wenhai, and then to the west, it is already very close to the deep mountains and old forests, which can be called the most inhabited area of Ruining County and even Wenhai City, except for some villages on the banks of the valley and the native She people, few outsiders set foot in the daily life, even the vigorous town construction has not been able to splash the slightest ripple here, as if it is a forgotten corner.

Perhaps, it was selectively forgotten by the bustling red earthly world.

Surrounded by mountains and mountains, Santana drove on the path at the foot of the mountain, bumped several times, Chen Mingyuan was dizzy, and his body seemed to be scattered.

Lao Xu controlled the steering wheel with all his might, and said with a depressed face: "Secretary, it is estimated that it will be overhauled when you go back." ”

Zhu Zhentao, director of the agricultural office, was in even more miserable condition, his face was as pale as paper, he was slumped in the back seat, he was out of breath and inlet in little, and he looked like he would faint at any time.

This time, Chen Mingyuan did not inform the township leaders below, and only took Zhu Zhentao and the driver's secretary and set off, where to investigate and investigate, so that these township leaders were like headless flies, and they couldn't find a clue.

At present, the group has come to the westernmost part of Jinxi Township, where there is a secluded village called Qingtan Village.

The road to Jinxi Township is in good condition, but it is a little winding, and it has been circling around the mountain.

The road to Qingtan Village can be said to be very bad, the road is full of big potholes, the car passes, the tires will suddenly fall, and then suddenly bumpy, the people in the car fly up from the seats, more ups and downs than a roller coaster!

"Let's rest for a while, and wait for the people in the back."

Chen Mingyuan saw that everyone was tired, so he beckoned to get out of the car, and as soon as the car stopped, Zhu Zhentao almost climbed to the side of the road, retched twice, and then gasped and gradually calmed down.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Mingyuan handed over a bottle of water, it was really embarrassing for Zhu Zhentao, a lot of old people, who had followed him through mountains and rivers in the past few days, and half of his life was almost gone.

Zhu Zhentao took the mineral water and took a sip first, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I often went to the countryside when I was young, and I have climbed the steep mountain roads that are more difficult than this, but I have been sitting in the office for a long time over the years, and my physical strength can't keep up, and there will be nothing to do at the rest meeting." After a pause, he pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "Don't worry, secretary, if you go around the front, you will be Qingtan Village." ”

Chen Mingyuan lit a cigarette and silently stared at the green forest of the valley in front of him.

The investigation has entered the fifth day, the longer the research time, the heavier Chen Mingyuan's mood is, it can be said that Jinxi Township is the most remote and backward township in the whole Wenhai, the township has a total of more than 50,000 people, nineteen administrative villages, basically agriculture, forestry, very little industry, that is, the township and a few villages with slightly better economic conditions have run a few small factories, which can only maintain and feed a few people, there is no profit at all, due to the high mountains and long roads, information blockage, local farmers grow vegetables and fruits are not very popular to buyIt is not cost-effective to sell it by yourself, you can't eat it all, you can only see it rot in vain, and the per capita annual income of the whole township is only about 1,000 yuan, which is a real poor township.

As for Qingtan Village in front, according to Zhu Zhentao's previous feedback, there are only more than 50 households in the village and about 200 people, all of whom are from the She ethnic group.

At this time, Chen Mingyuan noticed the road under his feet, which was obviously a road that had not been built for a long time, but it was already potholed and dilapidated, and some of the asphalt on it had fallen off, revealing the roadbed below.

Zhu Zhentao noticed his gaze and explained: "This road was just renovated last year, and it didn't take long for it to become like this, not that it cut corners, it was mainly crushed by the cart that pulled the wood, or it was not used for repair, and the cart was overweight." ”

Lao Xu wondered: "That can be designed according to the highway standards of the Economic Development Zone, so it will break down after only one year of repair, what a waste of money." ”

Zhu Zhentao smiled bitterly and said: "Who doesn't want to, in fact, there were leaders who proposed a plan to connect villages and villages with highways earlier, but unfortunately they were questioned by several Standing Committee members. ”

"Hey, but the township chief Zhong was also stubborn, and went to the provincial capital to ask for a sum of money, and then organized the villagers to build the road by themselves, but the road was not built like four, and there was nothing the township could do." Speaking of this, Zhu Zhentao sighed and said with emotion: "If you want to get rich and build roads first, because you want to get rich and well-off, so the feelings of people in the mountains for roads are unimaginable to outsiders." ”

Chen Mingyuan had mixed tastes for a while.

When there was silence, an off-road vehicle drove up behind him, and after stopping, the window fell, Ye Qingxue poked her head out, took off her sunglasses, and called: "Why don't you leave?" ”

Chen Mingyuan turned around and joked with a smile: "If your God of Wealth doesn't arrive, how can we be embarrassed to enter the village." ”

Ye Qingxue glanced at him angrily, and at the same time, her slightly pale eyes were also a little ruddy, if it weren't for her motion sickness halfway, the trip would not have been dragged down.

The window on the other side was also pulled down, and Mu Taotao's little head was poked out, with a bitter little face, and said weakly: "Brother Chen, how long is the road, the tires are not flat, and my stomach will be flat first!" ”

Yin Qingning, who was in the driver's seat, pouted and said, "Who told you that you had to come out with you, I told you that this time I didn't come out for fun." ”

Peaches argued sullenly: "You all came out, what are you leaving me to do at home, besides, it's not like I didn't help with the work!" ”

Chen Mingyuan and a few people looked at each other and smiled bitterly, his own dignified research in the countryside was mixed in by these living treasures, but it was like camping in the wild.

After Ye Qingxue proposed to help the people in her hometown, considering the huge supplies that needed to be distributed, Chen Mingyuan simply asked Yin Qingning and Mu Taotao to accompany her, first, she could take care of Ye Qingxue's body that had not recovered for a long time, and then after this girl followed her to Ruining, she would not go out of the gate all day long, and simply take her out to go out to go out while the spring flowers were blooming.

Re-entering the road, the two cars drove along the rugged mountain road for about 20 minutes, and arrived at the entrance of Qingtan Village at noon.

When he really saw the landscape of the village, Chen Mingyuan was a little surprised, before coming, he thought that this village must be a family of poor walls, but what is surprising is that this village hidden in the green forest of the valley has some characteristics of paradise. Simplicity and beauty.

What's even more remarkable is that every household in the village has access to electricity, although the conditions are still very simple, but finally have some modern atmosphere.

Ye Qingxue, Taozi and others were attracted by this picturesque scenery, but the fatigue of the journey was left behind, full of novelty left and right, the driver Lao Xu and others were also stunned, and couldn't help muttering: "This kind of place also needs poverty alleviation?" ”

In fact, everyone is still blinded by the peaceful scene in front of them, but everyone does not know that this kind of bamboo building with yellow straw roof and wooden wall is the simple hut where the early She people often lived.

At this time, many people in the village ran out and circled around the car and the crowd, feeling curious and fresh.

Entering the village, Chen Mingyuan came to the village party branch secretary Blueprint De's house, they reported their identity as an agricultural commissioner sent by the county to investigate the spring planting situation in the village, Blueprint De's Chinese is very fluent, people are also very kind, just about to have lunch, they entertained a group of people.

The round table for eating is placed under the eaves of the courtyard, and the table is placed with seasonal vegetables and fruits such as roasted bamboo shoots, flower shiitake mushrooms, green sword beans, etc., revealing an original freshness, especially to mention, it is still the black rice steamed with black rice leaves and glutinous rice, which is crispy and delicious, and it can be seen from Mu Taotao's appetite that he swallowed three rice balls raw and still unsatisfied.

Most of the villagers in the mountains were simple and welcoming, and when they learned that they had been sent by the county to help everyone, some of them brought some dishes and snacks, as well as a small jar of home-brewed rice wine.

In line with the principle of courtesy, after eating a few mouthfuls to pad her stomach, Ye Qingxue beckoned Yin Qingning and Lao Xu to take out the condolences that had been prepared in the morning from the trunk, most of which were daily necessities and medicines, but they were precious to this isolated village.

Looking at the jubilant scene of the villagers, Blueprint took a sip of hookah and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, I rushed down from the city and brought so many gifts, if only the government could have more officials like you." ”

"In fact, the leaders above have always been concerned about the situation in the rural areas at the grassroots level, and they have also been trying to change the backward conditions in the mountainous areas.

Chen Mingyuan took a sip of sweet and delicious rice wine and said, "Old man, I heard that you have been the village party secretary for nearly ten years, so if you have any ideas, talk to us now." ”

Blueprint shook his head and said, "There's nothing to say, the village can be as it is now, and everyone and I are very content." He pointed around and said, "Look at our small mountain village, now there is electricity from house to house, and cement roads have been built outside, what a blessing this is, we don't dare to ask for anything more." ”
