Chapter 243: Near the Water

Conan felt inappropriate about this place, but he really couldn't see a flat place, even if this is a big world in the mountain village, except for this place, it may be very difficult to find a relatively flat place elsewhere. No wonder there are many people living in the plains, because of the convenience. The mountainous areas are large, and there are not as many people as the plains, which is why traffic restricts population development.

The best place in the village is probably where the village project office is located, and then there is the school, where the buildings are still there, the playground is still there, the children are not there, they all go to school in the town, which is more advanced than here, because it is a township after all, and it is the seat of the higher-level authority.

Jiang Menshen is obviously hopeful about the future of the village project office, but at the same time, he is a little confused about the future successor. It is not clear what he will do in the future, but it has now been shown that he is under a lot of pressure, and this is his first impression of Conan.

He, the demon originally planned to visit the mountain, now look at the mountains on both sides, everyone is a little embarrassed, to say that it is difficult, it is really true here, just to go out, you must learn to fight against the earth's gravity, otherwise, to survive in this place, if you want to be easy, you must walk sideways, that is, it is okay to move in the same level as the house, if you want to leave the horizontal position of the house, you must either climb up or down, in short, living in the mountains, it is unthinkable not to climb the mountain. This kind of movement, innate, must be done, which has created the unyielding character of the mountain people, and tenacious fighting spirit, as well as the simple truth, in order to successfully achieve the goal, we must overcome a lot of resistance, but also know that happiness is not in vain, you need to pay hard work and price, otherwise, success can only rely on dreaming.

Some people get rich by labor, and some people get rich by dreaming. These two kinds of people, the former still has hope, and the latter kind of people don't care as long as they are in a dream, once they wake up from a dream, they are definitely desperate, Ji Conan thinks so, and he is very sure of his own thoughts.

Everyone followed Jiang Menshen upstairs, and then looked at the upstairs room under Jiang Menshen's introduction. In the corridor leading to the house of the village project office office, next to the staircase, a gate is installed, which is made of stainless steel, and the "Iron General" handles the door, and the nickname of Jiang Menshen is not wrong, with "Iron General" and Jiang Menshen, the village project office is safe.

The large conference room is on the first floor, where there are a lot of tables, chairs and benches, which do not seem to be used by elementary school students. Everything there is for adults.

Seeing this, Conan was confused, the things in the school have little to do with the students, these desks and chairs are far from the ones used by the children, thinking of this, he asked anxiously: "Are there many left-behind children in your village?" ”

"It's just a lot. Nowadays, young people are willing to go out to work, and they are more free and simple outside, and the children are left to the care of their grandparents. Jiang Menshen said, his eyes showed helplessness, regret, and it was difficult to express, he always felt inappropriate, but the appearance of powerlessness made people feel pity and empathy when they saw it.

"How many are there?" Ji Conan hurriedly asked, he was more interested in this. Ji Conan asked this for a purpose, and if there is no purpose, there is no need to ask. As long as you ask, it means that you are willing to use your brain, and you are willing to use your brain, which proves that you are interested in the social work. Interest is the best teacher, with interest, you are willing to study this career, willing to use your brain, you will make progress, will help more people.

"I haven't counted it, there are more than 100 in our village." Jiang Menshen said, still uncertain look, indeed, some work is not done by yourself, you need a team, with a team, as long as you are diligent and cooperate with each other, you can maintain a happy mood, and everything will go smoothly.

"More than a hundred?" Togo asked, Togo's question is also Ji Conan's idea. Needless to say, Yin Xianren is even more scheming. In front of the young, Togo behaves young, and in front of the elderly, Togo's performance is unknown.

"Yes, more than 100, there are more than 700 people working outside the village, about two or three hundred households, and most of them don't want to go home to start a business." Jiang Menshen showed a look of affirmation and said categorically. As if these things happened to others, or that others have lice, and it has nothing to do with them, as long as you don't have lice, don't be afraid of being bitten.

"What do you want?" Togo asked, Togo's eyes stared at Jiang Menshen, Jiang was a little hairy, and muttered in his heart, why Togo's eyes were so bright, in fact, Togo's heart was empty, and he was afraid that the project would be yellow, and he would not be able to pay the difference in the future, which would affect the salary.

"How's that?" Jiang Menshen didn't know how to answer, seeing Togo's sudden question, he was confused, he had this feeling, Conan and Yin Xianren also had it, Jiang Menshen's answer was not muddy, it was to the point, and people had to be convinced.

Because Togo's speech was problematic and his Mandarin was not standard, his pronunciation sounded particularly difficult to understand. His home, at the junction of the two provinces, Yin Xianren's home, is also, however, slightly better, Yin Xianren's Mandarin is better, but he is still not good at listening. Sometimes there is no squeak, and the reason is that he is still recuperating from his injuries. People need to recuperate often, in the current environment, they need to look at it often, they need to be quiet, they need to be introverted, and they don't have to think too much, otherwise, there is nothing in the world that can stand up to the sky. Those are all things to consider.

Walking along the corridor, there is the village officer's office, there is no director's office, which Conan knows very well, there are only seats for the number one person in the village, and the rest are errands, and the offices are all in his own home. Then there is the health room, which is where the person in charge of sanitation stays, usually the village sanitation officer, who is a female staff member. As elsewhere, the village's environmental sanitation officer is Jiang Menshen's wife. His wife was sick all the year round, and there were many tasks that she could not complete due to physical reasons, and only through him could she complete them.

He is relatively burly, he looks like a person with high blood pressure or hyperlipidemia heart disease, a little movement, he will sweat, such a body as a village officer is indeed a test, in addition, he also replaces his wife to do some women's work, more hard, no way, the income is too low, a little salary fully pays for the medicine, the family has no savings, the house is still dilapidated, the second floor has not been added, the home is not decorated, or a rough house, such a family, in the whole White Stork Village is a difficult household.

As a village officer, he wants to lead everyone to be well-off and lead everyone to get rich, but when he looks at his home, he seems to be still in the old society, and he has no confidence. The township department is not a charity, and there is nothing he can do about his wife's illness, so he has to let it go, and wait until later, his idea is that for such pressure, he has to grit his teeth and insist, and when he can't insist, he will make adjustments, even if he doesn't adjust, for the development of the whole village, the higher-level department will make personnel arrangements.

He can't complain, because he still doesn't know the details of Conan, and if he knows the details, he may be able to let go of what he says, and he doesn't know what medicine Yin Xianren sells in his gourd, so it's not good to say more. If you get it wrong, it's over. This vigilance, as a person who has been in society for many years, still has it.

At the end of the corridor, there was a room, and Togo said, "Don't fight any of you, this room is mine, and I have booked it." Togo smiled, he seemed to be confident, the project in this village is mainly for him to do, so that unnecessary troubles can be avoided.

There is nothing special about this room, the only good thing is that it is on the very edge, close to the road and close to the mountain, you don't want to go to the toilet at night, you can stand on the balcony and solve small problems. Because the toilet is still at the back of the school building, there are old-fashioned toilets, and the men's toilet has six or seven pits, which is still enough for primary school students in the village-run primary school.

To go to the toilet in Togo, you have to walk through the corridor of half of the building, then go downstairs, and then walk through the corridor on the other side of the half of the building, and then bypass the teaching building and pass through a vegetable field to reach the public toilet, which is more difficult.

In winter, especially at night, you can imagine how cold it is outside, and when you walk around the toilet, the urine is almost frozen back, where can you still pee, solve it upstairs, and fly straight down to 3,000 feet, it is still more convenient, and this convenience is the real convenience.

Strange, there is also a vacant room on the left side of the upstairs, Togo does not want to, the reason is that the room at the end of the corridor, there is no anti-theft door, it is estimated that there are unsafe factors, Togo is a person in the rivers and lakes, at a glance, he knows that there is no room with an anti-theft gate, it will definitely become the object of thieves, with the attitude that more is better than less, he did not take risks.

Because he got ahead of the curve, no one else had a chance. This may be the opinion of the person in charge. Who knows?

Conan felt that it didn't matter, anyway, this place was a temporary residence, and he would definitely have to leave in the future, and at the beginning of the project, he needed the help of Conan and Yin Xianren, and when the project officially started, there would be no problem of help. Then, when the time comes, Yin Xianren and Conan will leave this village and move to another village, unless the village needs them to come back for help, they will come back, and if there is no need, everyone can stay in their own project village until the end of the project.

The task of coming this time was basically completed, and Jiang Menshen said: "After reading it, let's go to the hotel on Hua'er Street." ”

His proposal was met with a response from everyone, mainly because they were afraid of the steep mountains on both sides, and the farmers were right on the mountain, and the blue roofs and white walls in the midst of the green trees were hidden and looming on the mountain, and there were people living there, but it was difficult to meet them.

When everyone left the village project office, Jiang Menshen did not forget to lock the door and let the "Iron General" continue to guard the village project office. They climbed the stairs and walked along the road. After crossing the stone bridge, there was a small house in front of it, between the two houses, and Jiang Menshen said, "This is my son's house." ”

"Why hasn't it been built?" Togo asked.

"Yes, he built half of it, and he had to expand and add more floors, he was a filial son, and he wanted to earn money to treat his mother, so he put this plan on hold. Wait for the money to build later, this location is good, you can rent it out after it is built, and you can have a little income every month. Jiang Menshen said.

Conan listened to it and felt reasonable, aren't the common people just worried about this money? Real estate can make money, but not everyone is qualified to do it, you need relationships, connections, and funds. Nothing, it's better not to get involved in this field.

When I arrived at the hotel, the boss greeted him warmly, the owner of this grocery store himself is a cadre in charge of the department, opening a supermarket and a hotel, he must make money, he earns both wages and profits from supermarkets and hotels, making money at both ends, and it is strange if he is not rich.

But he pretended to be poor, and looked shabby, and when he went outside, he knew at a glance that he was poor, and in fact he was not only rich enough to buy half of Hua'er Street, but also bought houses in the county and city, and with the rent, he could not eat and drink.

Jiang Menshen sent them back to the hotel, looking energetic and energetic, but he was still not tired physically, in fact, he couldn't see his tiredness, and said: "You guys rest and rest, I'll arrange it, and I'll contact you later." ”

Conan saw that it was still early, so he said to Jiang Menshen: "Is there a car to Jiufeng County today?" ”

"I'll look at the time. Well, it's three o'clock, and there's a shift of cars. Jiang Menshen said.

"Okay, then, let's go back today and move our things. After living in the village, how about we plan the project well? Conan said.

Togo listened and hurriedly agreed. He said: "I think the same way, we live here, in fact, it is a delay, it is better to go back, and also save the accommodation fee." ”

"You don't care about this. We have already paid for the accommodation. When you are away from home, it is impossible to run around with the house, and it is up to us to solve the problem of food and accommodation. I still remember what we said in the agreement we signed. We are also fulfilling our obligations and responsibilities according to the agreement, and so are you. Jiang Menshen said.

After all, he has been a soldier and a village cadre for many years, and he still has a set of words and deeds. Speaking of everyone's hearts, to be honest, Conan doesn't want to leave now, because he has to go again, the mountain road is not fun, it bends around, which makes people feel uncomfortable, and in addition, there is also going back to the county seat, and he has to buy food outside. Eating out is not as comfortable as eating at home.

"Okay, since the accommodation fees are out, let's stay for one night, but when we settle the bill tomorrow, let's settle the bill, don't increase the burden on the village." Togo said, beckoning to Jiang Menshen again and again, signaling goodbye.

Togo is in charge of money, and he has the confidence to speak, he made a statement, and everyone had nothing to say, so they had to be silent. Yin Xianren also had a black line on his face, and he didn't know how to feel.
