Chapter 59: Dinner
Today is a festival day for the people of Shangqingling, men and women, young and old people have gathered in a very spacious place, the ground in the middle is set with firewood, there are no other things in the mountain, there are a lot of firewood and bamboo, Wu Facai commanded everyone to light the fire.
Lin Daxiang even asked people to move some long stools and tables here.
Look at those women again, they are already busy talking and laughing, and all kinds of dishes are stir-fried in the pot.
With Wang Ping's money to open the way, the treasured food of each family was taken out.
"Township Chief Wang, drink a little fruit wine that we brewed ourselves today."
Wu Facai's mood was also very good, looking at everyone's joyful appearance, he felt that his face also had a glow.
"It's almost all women!"
Wang Ping looked at the people here and sighed.
Wu Facai said: "Alas, I can't keep people, now that the men are gone, there are only some women left, and some girls have also left recently, I heard that I went to a nightclub or something in the south, really!" ”
Wu Facai sat there silently smoking a cigarette.
Wang Ping also sighed, it is really difficult to say what kind of situation the girls in the mountains will be like after they go out.
Many of the children in the mountains really have no way to go out, they have no skills, and they are not the kind that can speak, and as a result, many girls go into nightclubs or something.
Seeing the situation here, Wang Ping's idea of developing Shangqingling became urgent.
If there were some ideas for Wang Ping's purpose in the past to get in touch with Vice Governor Huang, now Wang Ping is more thinking about really doing something for the villagers here.
Although it was a patchwork of some dishes, the skills of the women here were really good, and looking at the dishes served on the plate, Wang Ping's appetite also increased greatly.
The children were the most lively group, and everyone was already chasing and fighting around the fire.
Wang Ping took this opportunity to talk to the people in the village who were around him about Shangqingling, and learned more about the situation here.
"There are now 312 women, 247 children, 57 elderly people over 60 years old, 6 lonely old people, in addition, 428 adult men, and now 280 men go out to work...... Wu Facai had a very clear understanding of the situation in the village, and told Wang Ping about 1510.
So many kids!
This is something that Wang Ping didn't notice before, but he didn't expect there to be so many children.
What I didn't expect was that the population was more than 600 people in my control, and it should be 800 faster, what is the situation?
It shows that the work done by the township in dealing with Shangqingling is also very sloppy.
Wu Facai said embarrassedly: "Jihua's childbirth work is also a very difficult job here, many people have secretly given birth to children outside and come back, and there is no way to punish them, you have seen it, the family is so poor that there is only that little thing, what else can I do?" ”
"How do you get your children to school?"
"This can't be helped, there used to be a private teacher, and then the teacher also left, and now it's all gone!"
Looking at the grizzled children, Wang Ping's mood was even more uncalm, if such days go on, will the children have a future?
Unintentionally, Wang Ping saw the eldest girl and the second girl, the two girls were wearing new clothes that he bought for them, and today they washed their faces and combed their hair.
At this time, Wang Ping realized that these two girls were really smart, and they were exactly the kind of porcelain dolls.
Why didn't I find them so beautiful before?
Thinking back to every time he saw them, Wang Ping was also happy, every time he was gray-faced, and his hair was draped, where could he see how they looked.
If it weren't for the fact that they were wearing the new clothes he bought for them, they really wouldn't have recognized them.
When he thought of the two girls' mothers, although they were sick and beautiful, Wang Ping was also relieved, how could such a beautiful mother be ugly.
The eldest girl and the second girl were dressed in new clothes, in which they became the two brightest flowers, and the women gathered around the two of them.
When looking at the beautiful appearance of the two girls after changing into new clothes, Wang Ping also sighed that people are right to rely on clothes and makeup.
Among the women in Shangqingling, it is very remarkable to be able to wear such new clothes, and from the eyes of some little daughters-in-law, Wang Ping even came to a kind of heat.
"It's all here today?" Wang Ping looked at the people who came and asked.
Wu Facai said: "They should all be here, there are only six lonely old people left, maybe they don't know yet." ”
Wang Ping stood up and said, "No matter how you do this, you should be invited, and I will invite it myself." ”
Lin Daxiang has been next to Wang Ping all the time, and after hearing it, he hurriedly said: "No, no, Township Chief Wang, just sit down, I'll take someone to pick them up." ”
As he spoke, he hurried away.
Wu Facai also said: "Township Chief Wang, I'll leave it to them to handle it." ”
After Wang Ping sat down, he said: "No matter who it is, as long as it is the people who go to Qingling, they are our villagers, we must care for and love them, and we should have more policies in this regard in the next step." ”
Wu Facai sighed: "No way, a poor word makes trouble, everyone's life is not easy!" ”
The village accountant said on the side: "Township Chief Wang, Shangqingling is the poorest place in the township, we all understand, the township also wants to develop here, and there have been cadres a few times, but the people who came have left after seeing it, no money, nothing can be done, don't look at us here are all women, the women in Shangqingling can do it, they are young, and they are old-aged, they are more diligent than the old men!" ”
Wang Ping looked at those beautiful women one by one, and sighed even more, with their appearance, they were the objects of care when they arrived in the city, but in this mountain village, they could only endure huge pressure.
"How many party members are there in the township?" Wang Ping asked suddenly.
Wu Facai sighed, pointed at the accountant and said, "It's just the two of us, there were a few veterans before, but they all left and went to work outside." ”
Wang Ping looked at the accountant named Zhao Huiping and said: "The three of us are party members, I think a party member has to do practical things for the masses, let's do the work of support first, we must have a look, we are the backbone of everyone, and we should do something practical for them no matter what." ”
Wu Facai looked at Wang Ping's face and said: "Township Chief Wang, I am an uneducated old man, I really can't think of a way, I heard that you are a college student, now that you are here, we have the backbone!" ”
Wang Ping also looked at Wu Facai and found that Wu Facai was also a sleek person, and he pushed the work on himself.
However, what Wang Ping wanted was everyone's support, and the rest was secondary, so he nodded slightly, and the next step was to influence them with his own actions.
