Chapter 257: Gongs and Drums
As soon as Secretary Shen saw Secretary Lu come out, he immediately said to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, this is Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee. In order to plan the poverty alleviation in Donggang Village, Secretary Lu will not return to the county seat today, but will live in the village, and a symposium will be held in the evening to discuss this matter. Secretary Lu is so busy that he doesn't even have time to rest, but he is still worried about the villagers in Donggang Village who have not been lifted out of poverty. Therefore, we should express our heartfelt thanks to Secretary Lu for his pro-people and love for the people with warm applause! ”
At this, he was the first to applaud. Secretary Chen and Mayor Li also applauded warmly.
The villagers showed a grateful look in their eyes and wanted to applaud, but they were all carrying things in their hands, and they couldn't spare their hands, and their faces were red for a while, and they were at a loss.
Because the villagers couldn't applaud, the applause was a bit sparse.
After applauding, Shen Youbin pointed to the villagers who were carrying things, and said to Secretary Lu: "Secretary Lu, these fellow villagers are very grateful when they hear that you have listed Donggang Village as your poverty alleviation point, and I heard that you are eating in the village tonight, so I spontaneously sent you a few local products, please taste it." You see—"
Secretary Lu was a little dissatisfied with Shen Youbin's face-to-face flattery, but in front of so many villagers, it was difficult to say anything, so he had to show a modest smile, hugged his fists at the villagers, and said, "Hello folks!" Thank you for your kindness in sending me so many good things. However, these chickens, bacon, and pig blood are all hard fed or made by you, and I can't take them for nothing, I have to pay according to the price. I've received your heart—"
As soon as he said this, a deafening sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village opposite.
Then, a large group of villagers came out of the entrance of the village. The villagers in front of them held gongs and drums, suona, and flutes, beating and drumming vigorously. The villagers in the back each carried something in their hands, including chickens, ducks and geese, dried fish and bacon, cabbage and cabbage, winter bamboo shoot vermicelli, and pig blood and dried beef......
The villagers lined up in a long line, led by a capable man in his fifties, and went straight to the school gate.
At this time, Qing Tao, Chi Dahua and other leaders also heard the sound of gongs and drums and the noise outside, and they didn't know what was going on in Ludao, so they all ran out of the resting teacher's office, stood beside Secretary Lu, and looked at the villagers who came here in surprise.
The villagers' team stopped at the intersection, and after the flag died down, the capable village party secretary trotted to Secretary Lu, made a gesture to Secretary Lu, and said with a smile: "Good chief!" I am the branch secretary of Donggang Village, surnamed Ye, and my name is Ye Zhihui. I would like to thank the leaders for their care for our Donggang Village, and also thank the leaders at all levels of the city and county for their efforts to alleviate poverty in our Donggang Village. Just now, Director Xie and I of the village committee went to the villager groups to convey the good news that Secretary Lu had listed Donggang Village as a poverty alleviation point. The villagers were all overjoyed and grateful. In order to express everyone's gratitude to the leaders and leaders, everyone spontaneously gathered together and brought a little souvenir, please taste the leaders and leaders, and hope that the leaders will not dislike it. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and waved to the villagers behind him. A few villagers spread a few thick plastic sheets on the ground, and those villagers who carried things lined up and put the things in their hands on top of the plastic sheeting, and several large plastic sheets were piled up in an instant.
When Secretary Lu looked at those things, there were more than a dozen chickens, ducks and geese, more than a dozen pieces of bacon, a few golden river fish, a lot of vermicelli, dozens of pig blood cakes, in addition, there were various side dishes such as winter bamboo shoots, cabbage, cabbage, pickles, etc., and it was almost possible to open a small food store......
Looking at the villagers again, I saw that they all had sincere and simple smiles on their faces, and they were all careful and reverent when they put things on the plastic sheeting—obviously, they were sincerely thanking him, the secretary of the provincial party committee, who had brought them hope of prosperity, and in this way expressed their inner gratitude......
Thinking of this, Secretary Lu was also a little excited in his heart, and said in an emotional tone: "Folks, thank you very much for your kindness!" I am Lu Zhiyao, and today I am going to Wantou Town and Donggang Village to investigate. To tell the truth: when I saw that there were still so many poor households in Donggang Village, and so many villagers had not solved the problem of food and clothing, I felt really uncomfortable, and I also felt that the burden on my body was very heavy and the pressure was very great!
At present, our country is moving towards the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. However, Donggang Village has not been lifted out of poverty so far, which is an issue that our party committees and governments at all levels should pay attention to and reflect on. The reason why I want to list Donggang Village as my poverty alleviation linkage point is that in this way, I want to arouse the attention of all levels and departments to the current situation of poverty in Donggang Village, and to provide funds, technology, ideas, and policies for the village-level economic development of your village through various means of assistance, so as to enable everyone to get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. In addition, I also want to promote the economic development of the entire Wantou Town through the development of your village, and strive to narrow the gap between Wantou Town and the developed areas in the eastern part of Xinleng County, so that everyone can get rid of poverty and backwardness as soon as possible under the guidance of the party's good policies, and become rich and well-off together! ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at the chickens, ducks, fish, and other dishes on the ground, and said very sincerely: "I am indeed very touched by the fact that the villagers have sent me and the comrades in the city and county so many good dishes today. However, I know that everyone's family is not rich, and these dishes are all made by you who have worked hard to feed or work in the fields, and you may not be willing to eat them yourself. So today we just need to buy a chicken or two and a few other dishes in it, enough to eat one meal. Please take the rest back. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to the folks! ”
After listening to Secretary Lu's speech, the Ye branch secretary blushed and shouted: "Chief, this is not good." The villagers brought things with sincerity. If you accept it, you can afford to look down on our fathers and villagers in Donggang Village; If you don't accept it, you won't be able to get over your face! ”
Ye Ming saw that this Ye branch secretary left no room for words, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for Secretary Lu to answer: Take it, it is indeed a little unbearable, and it also violates his principles; If you don't accept it, it's hard to refuse, and it will be considered by those villagers that Secretary Lu looks down on their native products......
After imagining his difficulties for Secretary Lu, Ye Ming thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of an idea, so he leaned his head over and whispered a few words in Secretary Lu's ear.
Secretary Lu let out an "oh", looked at him a few times in surprise, showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "Okay, then it's up to you!" ”
