Chapter 57: The Poor and Backward Shangqingling
"It's here!"
Pointing to a small mountain village in the smoke in the distance, Lin Daxiang's face was full of joy, and he said to Wang Ping.
Lin Daqing and Lin Dasong's faces also began to have some joy, and they walked much faster.
This is Shangqingling!
Looking at this mountain village that he had been to once before, Wang Ping's mood was very complicated.
Although what he saw was cooking smoke and felt very close, Wang Ping knew that the distance he walked here was not close.
The four of them walked quickly towards the front.
Everyone is no longer surprised that Wang Ping can travel so easily on this mountain road, but they have a little more respect for Wang Ping in their hearts, and the people in the mountains value people who still have the ability, Wang Ping is so young that he is the deputy head of the township, and he is a great cadre, and now he is so easy to walk on the mountain road, not slower than them, which is capable in itself, and he can't accept it.
Wang Ping himself didn't understand what the situation was, anyway, now it was not difficult for him to walk this mountain road like the wind under his feet, and even as long as he marched with all his strength, it was not slower than these old mountain walkers, and even he felt that he could be faster.
Wang Ping while walking, while recalling what he learned about the situation of Shangqingling, seriously speaking, Shangqingling is not small, here are three village-like residential areas together, used to be three surnames living here, slowly, with the intermarriage between the three surnames, coupled with the continuous combination of outsiders, and then formed a large residential area, now the population has reached about six hundred, of course, there are many men who go out to work, and there are only two or three hundred people left here all the year round.
In this Dahekou Township, the village of 600 people is not very large, but it has become the most headache in the township.
"There are a lot of foreign surnames in this village, right?" Wang Ping asked.
Lin Dasong said: "Isn't it? Before the liberation, many people ran to this mountain, and at that time it was heard that many surnames were integrated into it, and now there are many people with non-three surnames in the village. ”
Wang Ping nodded secretly, and it was time for Haode to investigate the family surnamed Huang.
"In addition to these three surnames, what kind of surnames do you have in your village?"
Lin Daqing said a lot of surnames.
"I heard that before liberation, the surname Huang was also very famous in your village." Wang Ping asked tentatively.
The three of them looked at each other, and Lin Daqing said: "There is no more famous surname Huang, the person surnamed Huang is a small surname in the village, and there is not much Liliang." ”
Wang Ping thought to himself that this matter might be a little difficult.
Lin Daxiang said: "The child's mother is surnamed Huang, and our family still has some fate with the surname Huang, but it is true that the person surnamed Huang is not much old." ”
Then Lin Daqing smiled and said: "Your wife was married by you because she didn't have shili." Otherwise, a flower will be planted in your body! ”
"What? Lao Tzu is so weak? You ask, in this Shangqingling, am I Lin Daxiang a good man? ”
A few people argued.
Wang Ping looked at Lin Daxiang, pondered for a while, shook his head again, and thought that Vice Governor Huang's surname was Huang, even if he had a sister, he should also be surnamed Huang, and the sister's child should be married, and the surname could not be surnamed Huang anymore, so even if Lin Daxiang's wife is surnamed Huang, it is estimated that the relationship with Vice Governor Huang is not very big.
I don't believe that if I find out all the people surnamed Huang one by one, I won't be able to find out the relatives of Vice Governor Huang!
While thinking about the matter, the four of them entered the village.
As soon as he entered the village, Wang Ping had a headache for the situation here, the houses were very dilapidated, and now there were some rich people in each village who were repairing the houses, but there was no new house that was built, and the tiles on the houses left many years ago had become broken, and there was a lot of grass growing on the houses, and the windows were closed, even if there were one or two open doors, it was dark to look in.
"Didn't someone go out to work? Why didn't anyone take the money to come back and repair the house? Wang Ping asked.
Lin Daxiang said: "The people in the village are all working people, and it is good to be able to support themselves, and there are so many people who have made some money to buy houses in the county or township, and they have all moved out." ”
Lin Dasong said: "Then there are only one or two people, most of them are still here." ”
Wang Ping didn't ask any more, everything he saw here was so poor, and when he saw the villagers sitting outside the house looking at them in distraction, Wang Ping felt his heart heavy.
"Township Chief Wang, you're here!" As soon as I entered the village, I saw Wu Facai, the village party secretary, greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Old Wu, hello!"
Wang Ping shook hands with Wu Facai in the past.
Wu Facai is a man of almost fifty, and he is wearing a very shabby suit, but he has a rope tied around his waist, which looks very strange, but this Wu Facai is also in good spirits.
"Township Chief Wang, Lin Daxiang volunteered to pick you up, but I didn't go, I'm sorry!"
"Where, where, thanks to their help with the luggage, otherwise I wouldn't have been here."
Wu Facai smiled and said: "Last time Lin Daxiang said that you gave him 2,000 yuan, the village specially repaired his house, and you lived in their house during your time in the village, if there is any need, let Lin Daxiang do it, you're welcome." ”
"Okay, everything will be up to the people when I get here."
Wu Facai said to Lin Daqing and them: "Send the luggage over quickly, Township Chief Wang is also tired, let him wash his face or rest for a while." ”
It can be seen that this Wu Facai is also very prestigious in the village.
After saying this, Wu Facai said to Wang Ping: "Township Chief Wang, the situation in this village is like this, it is very difficult!"
"I'm here to carry out the work, don't treat me as an outsider, let's discuss and solve any situation together."
When he arrived in a new place, Wang Ping was not familiar with the place, and he didn't want to talk too much, he also wanted to see the situation here.
Wu Facai accompanied Wang Ping to Lin Daxiang's house.
It seems that Lin Daxiang's home is far more magnificent than ordinary families, the whitewashed wall, the earthen foundation wall has also been redone, it looks much more solid, the roof tile has also been replaced, there is a small courtyard, the yard is paved with bluestone, and a few chickens are chasing in the yard.
Seeing the new look of Lin Daxiang's home, Wang Ping knew that it must be some repairs that he had made with the money he gave him.
"Township Chief Wang, I have asked the children to keep accounts of the money you take, and let them tell you then."
Lin Daxiang is obviously happy that his family can have such a change.
Hearing the news of Wang Ping's arrival, some women came out of the house at once, although everyone's clothes were very shabby, Wang Ping could still feel it, and their faces were full of kind smiles.
Wang Ping saw so many women appearing, and when he looked at them, he also secretly praised in his heart, this village looks very poor, but the women here are all smart, and they are good-looking.
