Chapter Fifty-Three: A Frontier Town
When Lin Fengyu, Bai Menglou, and Wu Tingzhong arrived at Meto Town, it was already dark.
Although there was a motion sickness medicine prepared by Bai Menglou in advance, Lin Fengyu was still very uncomfortable, and the beautiful scenery such as snow peaks, forests, and lakes along the way was not tempting for her at all.
When she arrived at Meto, she felt as if her bones were falling apart, and she had no strength at all. Therefore, after following behind Bai Menglou and briefly greeting the local officials, he went to the guest house to sleep.
It is said that it is a guest house, but in fact, the conditions are very poor, it is just a place to rest, and there are too many people to accommodate it, Lin Fengyu seems to understand why Bai Menglou does not bring a few more entourage, which is also to reduce the reception pressure of the local government department.
Lin Fengyu won't pick and choose now, even if she puts a bed in the corner of the leeward wall, she can fall asleep immediately.
The next morning, Lin Fengyu was called up by the waiter.
She got up and washed up and went out to take a breath, only to feel refreshed, the air here is not a trace of pollution, with a trace of chilly freshness, which is incomparable to the air of the city. Bai Menglou and Wu Tingzhong were still washing, and she walked around the neighborhood accompanied by the waitress Xiao Ye, only to realize that this was a good place.
The mountains here are crisscrossed, the terrain is mostly steep, and the altitude varies greatly. In the distance, you can see snow-capped peaks, reaching into the sky, but at the foot of the mountains are often verdant trees, as if laid with a thick green carpet. The river rushes down from the cracks in the distant mountains, towards a blue jade ribbon, shining dreamily in the morning sun.
At her feet is a rare piece of flat land, known locally as the "Dam", and the seat of the town government of Meto. Such a big one can't find a second one within a radius of hundreds of miles, Xiao Ye proudly told Lin Fengyu.
The Hope Primary School built with the assistance of Dinghan Company is on this flat land.
Xiao Ye said that Meto is very beautiful, but the transportation is extremely inconvenient, so it is also very poor, and the educational facilities are very backward. The local leaders and ordinary people are very grateful to Dinghan for donating to build Hope Primary School, the demolition is basically smooth, and the construction progress is okay. However, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, many workers have to go home, so it is still difficult to put it into use at the beginning of the spring semester.
While talking, the two came to the restaurant, and at this time, Bai Menglou, accompanied by Deputy County Magistrate Chu and Wu Tingzhong, also came to the restaurant.
The breakfast in the restaurant is local butter pancakes, wild vegetable soup and other special foods, which taste quite good, and Lin Fengyu only had a comfortable meal at this time.
"According to your requirements, we have been in strict accordance with the drawings of the construction, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the project. After the completion of this hope primary school, it will be the largest primary school in our county, with the most complete facilities, you see, this 1.3-kilometer-long sports training ground, no second school has, this patriotic education base, can continue to develop for the students of this school, I consider that it can also be developed for the students of the county! County Magistrate Chu was very excited, "I, the deputy county magistrate in charge of education, would like to thank Chairman Bai and your company!" ”
"County Magistrate Chu, it is the responsibility and requirement of enterprises to report to the society. I'm concerned about when it's going to be done. Bai Menglou said decisively, "You know, the patriotic education base still has a later project, if the school's capital construction cannot be completed before the start of school after the holiday, it will affect the overall progress!" ”
"This, in fact, is already relatively fast. The key now is that the workers have to rest during the spring, and they are homesick," said Ai Ai, a long-term employee in Chu County, "and although they are paid double wages, there are still many people who do not want to work!" ”
"How many times the wages are opened, and the workers can not stop working during the Spring Festival?" Wu Tingzhong, who had been silent, asked.
"Triple as much!" County Magistrate Chu was silent for a moment, "If you can triple your salary, and you can triple your salary from now until the fifteenth day of the first month, you can keep progress!" ”
"Quadruple salary," Bai Menglou added, "Those who leave will not be hired after the spring." Minister Wu added additional expenses to the project account after breakfast. ”
After breakfast, County Magistrate Chu accompanied Bai Menglou and Lin Fengyu to inspect the construction site.
"The air here is fresh, how about we walk there?" Bai Menglou said.
"Then we'll walk over!" County Magistrate Chu hurriedly said. Bai Menglou looked at Lin Fengyu, Lin Fengyu knew that this was actually asking her, so he nodded hurriedly. So, County Magistrate Chu accompanied Bai Menglou in front and Lin Fengyu behind, and the three of them walked to the east of the dam.
"Miss Lin is the first time to come to Meto, right? How does it feel? The county magistrate Chu was afraid that Lin Fengyu would be snubbed, so he turned around and asked, "The chairman has made three or four trips for this project, and the chairman is for the benefit of the people of Meto." ”
"There is no industrial pollution here, the air is fresh, and it is as beautiful as a fairyland!" Lin Fengyu praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, it's just too remote and inconvenient," replied the magistrate of Chu, "our county borders India!" It is 200 kilometers south of India and it enters. ”
"Oh, no wonder it's so hard for us to make a trip!" Lin Fengyu said, "But the jurisdiction area of your county is so large!" ”
After walking for about 40 minutes, the three of them came to the construction site, only to see that the main project of the five-story teaching building had been completed, and the workers were decorating the interior. In front of the school building is a sports training ground more than a kilometer long, and workers are laying cement.
"In the future, the school will organize sports meetings here!" County Magistrate Chu pointed to the runway and said, "How good! ”
Bai Menglou attaches great importance to the training track, personally measures the thickness of the cement, and even goes to the cement mixing place to take some mixed cement and put it in a plastic bag, saying that he wants to test the quality of the cement.
"Chairman rest assured, we are very strict in monitoring, and there will be no cutting corners!" The magistrate of Chu swore an oath.
"We have great trust in County Magistrate Chu! Our personal relationship is not bad, but the project needs to be supervised, and any negligence can bring harm to the children! I don't want the school to be in tatters as soon as it is put into use, I want it to not break down for thirty years! ”
Lin Fengyu suddenly chuckled in his heart, and a question jumped out: "Why is the student training track so thick?" The cement is at least thirty centimeters thick! ”
Then, the three of them came to the opposite side of the runway. It is a very large area, surrounded by a wall, and only a small building can be seen outside the wall, about five stories high.
Entering the fence, it is more messy inside. Deputy County Magistrate Chu was a little embarrassed: "This is a late-stage project, so the progress is slower, but the main body is over." ”
"The equipment you brought in the early stage is placed in the greenhouse." Deputy county magistrate Chu pointed to the greenhouse in the distance and said.
Lin Fengyu looked in the direction pointed by Deputy County Magistrate Chu and was suddenly taken aback.
The nose of a fighter jet is exposed in the greenhouse!
