"In our town, the young and strong ones are all working in the county, and the better ones earn more than two thousand yuan a month, and the almost ones are seven or eight hundred, which is much better than farming in the town. In the past, I did a project to attract investment, but in the end I couldn't do it. ”

Uncle said 'investment promotion', Su Ming also knows a thing or two.

The government's poverty alleviation efforts are very large, and if businessmen are willing to invest in poor areas, the government will give very preferential policies, and even give subsidies in various ways.

It was originally a good thing, but it led to a situation of subsidy fraud. Some unscrupulous businessmen do not come to invest in construction at all, but they see the subsidies and policies given by the government, take a handful and leave, leaving a mess in the local area.

Su Ming still remembers that a few years ago, a major event occurred in the county: a big boss from other places claimed to invest in the county to establish a large chemical plant with a scale of 1,000 people, and asked the county government to approve a large piece of free land for him to build a factory, and then the county government came forward to coordinate and used this land to mortgage the bank for a loan of 40 million......

As a result, the boss took the loan on the front foot, and disappeared on the back foot. The factory has not been seen so far, leaving only a large area of broken factories that have not yet been built, which is equivalent to the county government using its own land to find a bank loan of tens of millions, and the money was taken away by the boss, and finally not only the land was given to the bank, but the remaining money had to be repaid by the county government.

Maoxi County was originally a poor county with extremely low fiscal revenue, and after this happened a few times, it was burdened with a heavy economic burden, and it was even more difficult to develop. At the same time, the county leaders and the townships and towns also have a vigilant attitude towards foreign investors, and the overall investment environment is much worse than before.

This has fallen into a vicious circle, the more the whole Maoxi County attracts investment, the more it must have a large amount of upfront investment. A lot of investment has been wasted, and as a result, the county is getting poorer and poorer, and businessmen who really want to invest. There are fewer and fewer of them. Naturally, the people in the county can't make money.

Su Ming can't manage the affairs of the entire county now, and to be honest. He also has no responsibility or ability to alleviate poverty. What he is thinking about now is just how to make the life of the people in Sunzhen better, after all, this is where he grew up, and the people in Sunzhen are also his relatives and friends.

"Uncle, are you willing to go to other places to work, such as going to the city, although a month is not much. But there are three or four thousand, which is much better than in the county. Su Ming asked.

Uncle nodded: "Of course it's good to go to the city, but I'm afraid of arrears." I used to have two co-workers who went to work in the provincial capital for a year, and guess what, they worked in vain, dragging their wages and not paying them. The boss said, if you have the ability, you can sue! If we people have no education and no background, how can we win? I heard that there are also bosses who settle accounts. There are seven deductions and eight deductions, and the money in hand is only less than half of what was agreed at the beginning. It's better to work in the county. ”

The second uncle listened to them on the side, and interjected: "Su Ming, you know a lot of people in the city, if there is a trustworthy boss who introduces you to your uncle, he can endure hardships." In the future, if you can make more money, you can also provide for the second girl to continue to go to school, if you can be admitted to a university like you, the second girl will have a head start in her life. ”

Su's mother probably knew what Su Ming was thinking. But she didn't talk much, she understood that there are difficulties in doing business. If she opens her mouth now, it will be tantamount to putting a tight spell on Su Ming. In the future, if you can't do it, how can you go back to your hometown to meet people?

"Well, I know, if I have a job, I will definitely give priority to taking care of the people in our bamboo town."

After chatting for a while, Su Ming's family said goodbye, went out of the house, didn't go far, and arrived at the old Gu Tou's house in the east.

The old couple opened more than a dozen acres of land on the hillside, followed the experts in the county for advice, and specialized in greenhouse planting, so there are often some out-of-season vegetables and fruits. He is a well-known good man in the town, every time it is time to harvest, whoever wants something, as long as it is not too much, he will give it directly to others, and the tomatoes that Su's mother eats in winter or something, but a small half of them are sent by Lao Gutou.

Probably a good person has a good reward, Lao Gu Tou gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Gu Baoxian was admitted to the county's secondary school a few years ago, and he is a more competitive young man in the town; The second son, Gu Baojun, also has good grades and is the class leader in the county's middle school.

When I entered the door, Lao Gutou's family was gathered together, listening to an aunt in a flower dress with her eyebrows dancing and introducing something.

"Third aunt, you are really diligent, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you came to help people protect the media and pull the fiber."

Su Ming wanted to laugh when he saw this aunt, widowed and widowed, widowed at the age of twenty-five, and for the next thirty years, he professionally helped introduce people. In more than a dozen towns in Maoxi County, there is no one who doesn't know her, if it is said that you can get a merit by facilitating a marriage, these three aunts are estimated to be qualified to be a little bodhisattva or something.

Seeing Su Ming and them coming, a table of people also stood up, first smiled at each other and said goodbye, the third aunt pointed to the table and sat at the table, a young man with glasses said: "Old Gu Family Baoxian is also nineteen this year, first set a marriage for him, and get married when he is old in the future, and also have a matter on Lao Gu's mind." ”

This quiet young man is Gu Baoxian, and the younger one on the side, with two bars on his arm, is his younger brother Gu Baojun.

"Do you fancy it?" Su Ming looked at a large number of photos on the table with a smile and asked Gu Baoxian.

He smiled a little shyly and said, "My dad has the final say." ”

Lao Gu seemed to have drunk early this morning, his face was flushed, and he said, "I ordered one for the baby, the girl looks smart, and the family is good." Just wait for the next year to sell the vegetables and fruits on the mountain, and then you will have the money to hire. ”

"Oh, congratulations!" Su Ming clenched his fists.

"Dad, I want to find a job first." Gu Baoxian said.

"You can find your job with peace of mind, and it will not affect the family relationship." Old Gu Tou said.

The third aunt also laughed: "Baoxian, learn from your Brother Su Ming, look at your Brother Su Ming, the big Buick is all open." You will also find a good job in the future, and you can also help your brother, and your aunt will tell your brother about family affairs when the time comes. ”

"Third aunt, don't get involved with me." Su Ming laughed, also took out two thick red envelopes, handed them to the two brothers, and said, "My mother gave it, take it." ”

It's okay not to say this, when Su Ming said this, the third aunt collected the photos on the table, took out a few more from her arms and added them together, and handed them all to Su's mother, "Your Su Ming should get married at this age, do you have a suitable girl?" Just rush to Su Ming's condition, and then look at our Su Ming, I dare to pack the ticket, the girl in our county, there is no such thing as not agreeing. If you don't like these people, I'll look for them again, even if it's the county magistrate's girl, I'll tell Su Ming. ”

Mother Su glanced at Su Ming with a meaningful smile and said, "His third aunt, I'm afraid that this child will have a good ...... in the city."

"Oh oh, yes, yes, look at my brain!" The third aunt patted her head and said to Su Ming: "But Su Ming, don't look at the girls in the city who are dressed up in fancy ways, they are all spoiled to the sky, and marrying them back is really not as good as the girls in the town who can run a family." ”

Su Ming smiled, thinking that no matter how pampered he was, it would be like Nangong Yan, it was good.

After talking, Su Ming said goodbye to his mother, left a few relatives and friends, ate outside at noon, and when he got home, it was almost dark.

Soon after entering the house, I was about to sit down for dinner, when I received the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, and there was a commotion, and I heard someone shouting: "Wild boars are destroying the crops!" (To be continued.) )
