Chapter 254: The Old Place
took Da Gang and a few people to Guinan Province, Li Zhendong considered that there would be someone to help along the way. And along the way, Dagang and others' enthusiastic, active, and maintenance attitudes are simply in Wang Lianxiang's eyes!
Sometimes, the eldest son Xiaodong inadvertently revealed, facing Da Gang and the others, with a momentum of commanding and assigning, and these young people were also uncompromising and obedient. Wang Lianxiang really didn't know what to say, and looked at it with puzzled eyes several times. Looking at her son, and then at a few young people, Wang Lianxiang was puzzled.
If you have doubts, you should naturally seek explanations. Wang Lianxiang found an opportunity, avoided Da Gang and a few others, and asked about some things that she felt was wrong.
It has something to do with County Magistrate Hu! Li Zhendong only explained in a few words. said that he had helped County Magistrate Hu with a lot of things, and this time he went out and sent a few people to take care of him.
Thinking of Hu Changjun, Wang Lianxiang thought deeply. At County Magistrate Hu's house, I saw my son and County Magistrate Hu's family getting along with each other, and they could talk and laugh with each other very casually, and the affection of County Magistrate Hu and his wife towards Li Zhendong could not be faked. Wang Lianxiang believed that it was someone sent by County Magistrate Hu. Of course, there are many other doubts in this, but Wang Lianxiang did not delve into it and chose to ignore it.
Wang Lianxiang also had to admit that with the help of these young people, the journey along the way became very easy and simple.
Wang Lianxiang told Li Zhendong, County Magistrate Hu is so good to you, you have to remember. Well, whatever my mother says, Li Zhendong should do it.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I got off the train and set foot on the land of the gold market. Look at familiar and unfamiliar scenes. Li Zhendong searched bit by bit in his long-ago memory.
At the exit of the train station is a small square. On both sides are mostly private houses, a messy, low and old bungalow. There are very few buildings. Directly in front of you is a large road that runs along the riverside to the city center. A few dozen meters away, the four-storey building of the Railway Hotel can be called abruptly towering.
The economy of Gui province is underdeveloped. Until the early nineties, the economic development of Guinan Province has always been in the last position in the country, the last few. Not to mention the current early eighties, that is, after the mid-eighties. 1987. After statistical verification, the state government departments announced a set of figures at the Seventh National People's Congress session. This set of figures is undoubtedly conclusive.
The average net income of peasants nationwide is 463 yuan. and Gui Province is only three hundred and fifty yuan; The per capita grain output in the country is nearly 400 kilograms, while in Gui Province it is only 299 kilograms; The per capita fiscal income of the whole country is 230 yuan, while that of Gui Province is 74 yuan. The gap is big enough.
Now the land where Li Zhendong is standing, the Jincheng area. During this period, the establishment of regions had not been abolished. Restructuring into a city. It would be more accurate to call it the Kaneshiro area. This Jincheng area is even more backward to the area of the clanging bell.
The Jincheng area has jurisdiction over 11 counties (urban areas), all of which are extremely backward counties. There are seven key counties in the state for poverty alleviation and development, two in the autonomous region, and two in ordinary poverty. Well, you can't find it where you can't be poor. Almost all of them rely on the state's poverty alleviation assistance.
The Jincheng area is not wealthy, the transportation is not developed, but the scenery is very beautiful.
Because it belongs to the typical karst landscape in geology. It doesn't matter if it's on the surface or underground. Peak forests, peak clusters, karst caves, etc., the tourism resources of Jincheng area are rich enough.
Barren mountains and mountains that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. Hidden in the depths of the majestic beauty. There is a small amount of primeval forest with numerous wildlife in the forest. There is a beautiful and magnificent mountain and flat lake. There is a relatively large river in the Jincheng area, which flows between the mountains and mountains, and the scenery on both sides of the river is incomparably wonderful. Li Zhendong, who has been here once or twice, still remembers it.
It was not his father Li Guotang who picked up the car. Standing in the small square was a young officer in his twenties, surnamed Liang, whose full name was Liang Junping. Officer Xiaoliang held up a sign, and after contacting Li Zhendong, he looked at Wang Lianxiang and his group, and thought in his heart: Didn't the chief say that there were only three people in the family?
asked about his father Li Guotang. Xiao Liang said that it would take a few days for the chief to go on a business trip to a foreign unit for a meeting, and he would ask himself to pick up people.
Wang Lianxiang is used to it. Li Guotang is a common thing to go on business trips, and in previous years, eight months of the year were out on business. When you become a leader, it's better. There is a large schoolbag hanging behind the door of the house, which contains the clothes that Li Guotang often needs, etc., all prepared in advance. Get up in a hurry, say that you want to go on a business trip, bring enough food stamps and money, and say that you will leave.
Xiao Liang brought a jeep, originally estimated to be three people, but he didn't expect so many people. Moreover, there are a lot of packages carried by the chief's family. He didn't know it was a send-off gift. Only a few tricycles were invited to transport goods and take people.
The weather in Guizhou Province is much warmer than that in Hunan Province. When leaving Hunan Province, the group was dressed thickly. After getting off the train, I carried a lot of luggage, and as soon as I moved my body, I began to sweat faintly. Da Gang untied several military coats, revealing the clothes inside. All in a suit. Several people were tall and burly, well-dressed, and many people on the street watched.
The Jincheng area is not a large urban area, and a large road connects the north and south of the river. Starting from the railway station, crossing the bridge, it was not long before you arrived at the troop station.
The troops were stationed at the bottom of a hill. The request for the chief's family is understandable to go and see the housing first. Xiao Liang led people to the place. Li Zhendong looked at it, ha, it was still the old house of the previous life. Four main rooms, a kitchen, a yard bungalow. Compared with Hunan Province, there are many buildings. In front of the house and behind the house are a row of weeping willows.
This area is full of bungalows, and the families of the cadres of the army live there. Li Zhendong's family came to see the house, and a group of children stood not far away.
The younger brother, Li Zhenxi, ran through several empty houses. Enter through the front door and exit through the back door. Turning around, he shouted, "Big brother, let's play hide and seek." ”
When Da Gang heard this, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. It was hard for a few people to imagine that Li Gongzi was playing like an ordinary child.
Go, you little hairy child, who has time to play hide and seek with you?
Now there are a lot of things to deal with. Need to clean the room and clean up. Items brought from Hunan Province. I can't see a lot of things in the car, but I just briefly look at a few bags, and most of them are food. This is the time to check. Fortunately, it is winter, the weather is cold, and the food is not perishable. Clean up even if it's not bad. When someone brings a lot of bacon, they have to tie a rope between the nails on the wall and dry the bacon.
Xiao Liang saw that the chief's family was sorting out their luggage, and after opening it, there was a lot of food inside. Sorry to stay longer. He said that he would go back to the office to deal with things first, and then come back later to take them to the army's guest house.
The car sent here to transport furniture to the Hunan Provincial Machinery Factory has not yet returned. Taking the train is much faster than the car. I guess it won't arrive until tomorrow. Tonight we will go to the military guest house for the night, or go to the regional government guest house.
Wang Lianxiang walked inside and out, looking not very satisfied, nagging "The place is too big"
"Isn't it good to have a bigger house?" Li Zhendong wondered what his mother said.
"What's so good about big? You have to pay a lot more. Wang Lianxiang shook her head.
How much does it cost? How many can there be?
Li Zhendong has read the documents issued by the army on housing charges. It was implemented in 1979. Originally, the "Standards and Measures for Charging Fees for Officers' Quarters" issued by the Ministry of National Defense in 1958 was abolished.
The cost of the dormitory for cadres: 1.5 cents per square meter for single-person courtyards (high-level leaders); 1 cent per square meter for a single building; 0.5 cents per square meter for single-family units.
The house is a mixed structure (masonry, wood, timber) for 2 cents per square meter.
There are no water meters or electricity meters installed. Electricity charges are 3.5 cents per square metre and water charges are 1.5 cents per square metre. After the installation of water meters and electricity meters, they will be charged according to the actual consumption; The house is a concrete floor, which is calculated at two cents per square meter; The yard is a natural land, not counting money; lime-brushed walls are 15 cents per square meter; Glass windows are installed, and the glass window area is a penny per square meter; Plus some other odds and ends.
Single cadres living in collective dormitories will be charged five dimes per month for accommodation; There are workers in the army, and their wages are lower than those of the army cadres at the 23rd level of administration. The monthly accommodation fee is charged triangular money; Cadres living in semi-basements are charged half fees; There are no fees for studying in military academies and schools, as well as living in offices, basements, tents, straw sheds, and temporary sheds.
For cadres below the regimental level (including regimental level) stationed on border defense and islands, half of the cadre's housing fee. There is no charge for the housing of single cadres of the company.
High-level cadres (including consultants) at or above the military level because of the needs of their work. A reception room in the dormitory is free of charge; The head of the unit is responsible for the staff serving the chief, the barracks arranged by the troops, and the accommodation of civil servants, secretaries, guards, cooks and drivers.
The Huaguo Bank, the Post and Telecommunications Office, the Xinhua Bookstore, and the state-run stores set up in the barracks do not charge money.
This house does not count the yard, only about 100 square meters, and the cost is more than 10 yuan a month.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this money, right?" The corners of Li Zhendong's mouth were crooked, and he didn't know how many houses he bought in the deep area of Lingnan. Mother is here worried about the cost of the room.
"This money?"
"One Yuan Triangle is responsible for the day's meals, do you want to order food?" A good-looking girl, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, her eyes flickered. The group of people who came in looked a little different.
Because of the proximity, Wang Lianxiang chose here. When I checked in, the staff asked.
The guest house of the troops is located on the street next to the gate of the station. Li Zhendong is familiar with this place. In the previous life, after my mother's work was transferred from Hunan Province, she was transferred here. After the organization and arrangement, it is to work in this guest house and manage the small canteen of the guest house. Li Zhendong has not been missing here. In the large courtyard behind the guest house, there is a small pond of more than 100 square meters, and a few bamboos are thrown in the small pond. Don't look at the small pond, the fish in it are not small, and the fish pond has never been cleared. Li Zhendong secretly fished in it, and caught more than a dozen catties of big-headed fish.
"We're only staying for one night, we don't need it anymore." Li Zhendong shook his head. One yuan triangle with three meals, how good can this food be?
In the early eighties, the military guest house began to be operated as an enterprise.
For those who come to the guest house for accommodation and meetings, each person will be charged an additional one yuan triangular money, and they will be responsible for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Less than one dollar triangle is not responsible for eating. This rule has been extended to all military hostels. In the end, the matter was learned by the leaders of the Logistics Department of the Lingnan Provincial Military Region. Only then was a circular issued requiring that the guest houses of all troops not impose such a rule. Management fees and other expenses cannot be withdrawn from the cost of food for the resident staff. It is necessary to provide convenience for the dining staff and organize meals according to the actual situation.
"Then we have a master chef here to stir-fry, you can see for yourself what you need." Girls never forget to sell.
Look at this girl, it's good! Li Zhendong waved his hand, Da Gang understood, nodded and signaled, and a guy entered the small cafeteria. In less than a moment, the guy came out, "There aren't many meat dishes." ”
Li Zhendong smiled at the girl and shook his head. With a few big men by himself, there is no way to do it without food.
"Let's go outside and see where to eat." Li Zhendong spoke. The younger brother agrees with the eldest brother's decision the most. The street is lively, and I have climbed through the window to look out when I was in the car just now.
said that he was going to take a look outside, but in fact, Li Zhendong already knew in his heart where there were good places in the city. Jinshi is the center of the whole region, and it is also the traffic artery of northwest Guangxi, bringing together special products from all over the world, and the supply of goods is guaranteed to be good enough. Don't look at the counties and districts in the Jincheng area are not rich, what is strange is that there are also many rich people! Still eating mountain delicacies, game and river fresh.
Sometimes, Li Zhendong secretly has some malicious conjectures, is it that part of the relief subsidies from the state and Gui Province have been eaten?
However, there is a good place, and Li Zhendong did not directly say where to go. Tell me where to go directly, and my mother will definitely not agree. Even Dagang and others can't pay for it. Not to mention, my mother couldn't do anything when she got there.
Li Zhendong led a group of people to drive through a narrow alleyway and turn into the city center. It's right on the edge of the square in the Kaneshiro area. The most lively place in the entire Jincheng area is here.
There is a statue in the middle of the street that extends in all directions. The City People's Cinema is right next to it, which is the center of activity in the Golden City. Around the movie theater, several alleys around this area are gathered with stalls selling things, small street stalls and so on. The streets were full of shouting, giving Li Zhendong a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time.
Officer Xiao Liang originally wanted to lead the way by himself, but the young man had already walked in front. didn't go far, Xiao Liang found that the boy seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he arrived at the city center after three or two turns. I wondered in my heart, has the chief's son ever been here?
When I went to the place, Xiao Liang was taken aback, the regional guest house! Coming to this kind of place? (To be continued......)
