Chapter 7: Strange Village
Last time, it was said that Manager Jia was pondering whether to agree with him to go to Hecun, Ji Conan really didn't count in his heart. It is normal for the staff of the branch to think before and after doing things, and they will not make mistakes if they think carefully. In particular, we should be more careful when it comes to the use of money, because the advantage of non-governmental organizations is that they have project donations, have special personnel to supervise, and are responsible for implementing them in place, and everything else is a disadvantage.
Non-governmental organizations fundraising, if they don't do it well, they will be scolded. Donors can supervise the actual use of the project funds, and will not be used for non-application projects, that is, the money to buy a car is only to buy a car, not a house, and the money to buy a house can only buy a house, not a car. Categorized at a glance. If it is misappropriated for other purposes, it will be held accountable, and it will also affect the reputation, and there will be no more next time, and the cooperation will be terminated, unless the donor sees your achievements and then goes back to talk about cooperation, otherwise, don't think about it in this life, and the loss is quite large. This is also the Matthew effect, which is very distressing.
Ji Conan has been pondering this, and compared with Manager Jia, he is even more immature and naΓ―ve. It stands to reason that everything needs to be done in an upright and upright manner, and it is much better to directly explain the principles of the organization and to do what you want to do, without having to hide it.
It seems that entering the village is not an easy task. Some things seem simple and easy to achieve, but when you actually take action, you find that they are not like that. There are always some detours. It's like seeing a mountain, if you go to that mountain, you can't always get there, it looks close, you walk far, and when you get into the eyes, this thing often happens, and it's not strange at all. If you ask someone for advice, apply or something, you must be mentally prepared for rejection, and this will happen nine times out of ten.
If you always suspect that the other party will deny, you will try your best to take detours and try to achieve your goals. This is fraud, even if it is not successful, there is a heart of fraud, and with a heart of fraud, it is an impure motive, and if you will cover it up, you will show your feet, and sooner or later you will be exposed.
Manager Jia has gone through ups and downs, especially in the workplace, and reacts fiercely to the things that appear at the first time, and he has long been aware of Feng Feifei and Miss Liu's practices, but in order to see clearly what they want, and then come up with countermeasures.
However, he is still uncertain about Ji Conan, because Ji Conan is not in Jiangcheng, but in Guizhou City, Guizhou does not belong to Xiangyang, although Guizhou is not far from Xiangyang. Ji Conan still has to know more about Guizhou, he is exploring, gradually becoming clear, knowing himself, seeing his weaknesses clearly, and then punching hard, hitting his weakness, often a fatal punch, however, it seems that Ji Conan is still relatively immature in terms of professional titles, and he has not practiced the viciousness of the family, as if he still has a hand, waiting for it to slowly clean up later.
Manager Jia looked at him and said slowly: "You go, no problem, I believe you." But just do what you do. As for the inside and outside, they are all locals, and they are tacit, so I won't say much about the rest. If you have done legal service work, you must understand the law and will not knowingly commit crimes. Besides, in our small place, do something, there is no impermeable wall, we will know what happened at the first time, concealment is not the way, report as soon as possible, solve it as soon as possible, hide it, it is not a way after all. I believe that you are a smart person and will not do anything illegal and undisciplined. β
Ji Conan couldn't wait for Manager Jia to say this, so he nodded vigorously, and said involuntarily: "Thank you so much, without your help, I really don't know what to do." β
Manager Jia said, "It's okay. Lao Deng, you can send Assistant Tan and Mr. Ji to Hecun. Send it back, I also have to report to the head office, I need to use the car, go back quickly, pay attention to safety! "Old Deng" sighed, and he had already run downstairs and drove to the parking lot.
Ji Conan finally relieved, fortunately he didn't have any luggage. Bring your backpack, say goodbye to Manager Jia and the rest of the staff, and go downstairs to get in the car.
Lao Deng is an old driver, when he was a soldier, he was a car soldier, often galloping on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he has developed a skill, no matter how bad the weather is, no matter how bad the road conditions, he can easily deal with it.
There is nothing difficult for the small town of Guizhou, a place with "eighteen bends on the mountain road". His skills are top-notch, and if you're lucky enough to be part of a movie with passion and speed, he's a great player. If you need a stuntman, you can think of hiring him as soon as possible.
Manager Jia's arrangement is also out of the protection of Ji Conan, after all, Ji Conan's backstage is relatively hard, and there are some backgrounds that others do not have. It is precisely because of his thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness that he is where he is today. Even ordinary speeches are taken very seriously, and they must be drafted.
Ji Conan's representative organization, the first time he came to the depths of the mountains, in any case, it is also an organization from other places, so it is natural to consider whether he has a purpose to do good deeds, is it engaging in other famous halls? So, good things are not easy to do. These relationships are intricate and have to be handled carefully. No profit can not be early, they are all smart people. Life is to live for two words, one word is name, and the other word is profit. If you don't seek profit for yourself, some people say, you want to destroy the heavens and the earth.
This car is the car that picked up Miss Bi and Ji Conan at the dock, and at that time it was still a relatively luxurious Santana, one of the Volkswagen series. Black, shiny paint, and a steady walk, but it just looks old-fashioned and sturdy, and the car is speeding by, rolling up a large number of fallen leaves.
Ji Conan thought that it would be good to have a broken car, but he still doesn't have a car of his own. It's easy to comment on others, it's a small goal, and it's not easy to achieve. This goal seemed unthinkable twenty years ago, and twenty years later it is commonplace.
The car went along the national highway, crossed the red deer pond, and it was downhill. It is said that there is a spring in this place, and in the past, wild horses and wild deer from the mountains would come to this place to drink water, so it was named "Red Deer Pond". The trees on the mountain have been replanted a lot over the years, and they look lush.
It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when the grass and trees are growing wildly, and it seems that the young shoots have turned into complete leaves, and they are all rushing to stretch out into the open area, competing for the sun, rain and dew, accumulating nutrients and strength, and preparing for the depression of autumn and winter. In the autumn and winter slaughter season, it is another scene. The change of the seasons makes people feel that life is changed and beautiful, how comfortable and satisfying it is to live on earth, and of course, the absence of other worries is the main characteristic. I look forward to the early birth of such a world.
After walking the downhill road, it is uphill. The car did not continue to drive forward, but drove up from a forked path, this fork in the road, all the way to the destination, the secondary highway and the main highway are not the same, the fork road is narrow, the risk is greater, the angle of the curve also tests people's driving skills, sometimes it is better to climb the mountain.
For such a mountain road, Lao Deng disdained, despised strategically, but was very cautious in tactics, he had experienced this, fearless.
Ji Conan also knows that ninety percent of those who drive accidents are driving fast, and most of the people who have accidents when they go down to the river to swim are tide-makers, and the water is very good, dare to challenge and take risks, and there are always unexpected things that happen, causing tragedy, and at the same time, on the other hand, if the driving skills are not good, don't be cool, don't be in the limelight, otherwise you will die ugly, it is better to be modest and cautious, learn more, do more and talk less, it is generally good.
Strictly speaking, this road is not a road, it is full of potholes, and Lao Deng is a cow, so he simply rocked the car up the hill and parked at the entrance of the poorly decorated village committee. The words written on the wall of the house are very beautiful, it is not printed by the computer, the font is like a Wei tablet, vigorous and powerful, it seems to be a big stroke, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the deep mountains.
Ji Conan looked at these slogans very rhyming, and the color of the words on the wall had become dull with the wind and sun.
On some old earthen walls, there are some familiar quotations written on them. There is nothing wrong with this, and it still works even today.
They were greeted by Secretary Tan of Hecun, who said welcome welcome and let us come to his house. There was also a stove on the mountain, on which was boiling a pot of water, which had been boiled and was steaming suddenly.
Half of Hecun Tan's house is made of mud walls and half of it is made of cement bricks, and the cement brick house has been simply renovated.
The interior wall is a half-person high wall brick, sticking to the wall, is a dark yellow pattern, such glazed bricks as a wall skirt, easy to clean or wipe, because the ash and water vapor of the stove or the smoke of the hot pot are easy to stain the wall, such a design, must be a smart person, with large wall tiles can keep the interior clean.
Secretary Tan of Hecun is thin, dark, and short, no matter how you look at it, he is not the branch secretary in his impression. Perhaps it is the special geography and environment of the mountainous area that shape people into this.
Ji Conan looks at Manager Jia, he is not short, at least taller than Ji Conan. It is said that Manager Jia's father is a lumberjack, perhaps looking at the previous generation, genetics plus acquired training, to Xiang's generation, it has become like this.
Hecun Tan is slow to do things, and he is cautious in speaking, and he has been trained in the small meeting of the conference, which is probably like this. Assistant Tan of the branch explained a few words to him and was about to leave.
Officer Tan of Hecun wanted to keep him for dinner, but he was refused.
Before leaving, Assistant Tan of the branch said to Ji Conan: "Mr. Ji, I'm leaving, I'll live in Officer Tan's house in Hecun for the next two days, and when the township technicians have time, we'll come back to the meeting." Good bye! After he finished speaking, he got into Lao Deng's car and walked down the mountain with a bumpy ride.
Officer Tan of Hecun saw them off and came back, sitting by the fire and drinking tea.
Ji Conan also drinks tea. The water was still steaming.
"The call I received in the morning was from the town, saying that you were coming. On behalf of all of you, I welcome you. For generations, we have wanted to solve the problem of draft. It's good you're here. You go upstairs and then come down to eat. β
Secretary Tan of Hecun said, taking him upstairs. Between the earthen wall house and the new house, there is a staircase, all wooden, squeaking when stepping on it, there is an incandescent light bulb full of ash and oil smoke at the staircase, and the lamp is turned on as soon as the Hecun Tan officer pulls the rope, and it turns out that the problem of electrification has been solved here.
Since the light bulb has not been wiped for a long time, the light that shines through is not far away, similar to no light. It's the same as still exploring in the dark. Passing the bend of the wooden staircase, the natural light from the second floor allowed him to see the steps of the staircase after the turn.
Ji Conan went up to the second floor, and it was very bright. Actually, the mud-walled house also has a second floor, all wooden, with miscellaneous items on it, probably a warehouse, because there are still some crops piled up there.
Officer Hecun Tan pointed him out a room, which was on the side of the mountain.
Through the window, you can see vines strung up along the rocks, clinging to the stones, the tenacity is touching, and there are some unknown flowers and plants, the stones are iron-blue, and they look cold.
The face of Officer Tan of Hecun looks old and old, and he doesn't like to smile, which makes people feel that he can't be approached, but the room he arranged is okay and quiet.
Maybe the head office has already greeted him, saying that Conan likes to be quiet, and the news has been revealed layer by layer, and Officer Hecun Tan is doing it according to the instructions.
Officer Tan of Hecun asked Conan if he had breakfast, and he said that he did.
Secretary Tan of Hecun said that he didn't have it yet, and then asked Conan to rest for a while, and he went down to have breakfast, and then talked about the work in the village after dinner.
Ji Conan put down his luggage and backpack and began to organize his diary. In the hotel for the past two days, it was noisy, and there was no way to keep a diary, so I had to write down the content that had fallen. After writing the diary, Secretary Tan of Hecun also finished eating.
A young girl appeared in front of me, not tall, with delicate eyebrows, a slender figure, black hair, clear eyes, like the eyes of a pigeon, very spirited, and long flowing hair.
Ji Conan asked, "Who are you?" β
She said: "I am the daughter of Officer Tan of Hecun. My dad asked me to invite you downstairs for dinner. β
He said, "Okay, come right away." β
After she finished speaking, she went downstairs "poof", strangely, she walked up the stairs, not slow at all, in the dark corridor, full of debris and food crops and fertilizers, etc., maybe she practice makes perfect.
Ji Conan explored the stairs down to the living room, their living room, and the dining room.
The dining table is a round table of aluminum alloy on the stove, which is a dual-purpose table, and it is also a boiler, which can keep warm and keep the food warm, so as not to cold the stomach and hurt the body.
The meal has not been removed, and when I saw their dishes, four dishes and one soup, bacon and hot pot bones, the fire was very strong, and the soup in the pot was tumbling with bones and meat, and the fragrance came to my nose.
Ji Conan thought to himself, the food here is better than that on the plains, it's really hard to imagine, what is the significance of them coming to this village to help the poor? Whether this village really needs it or not. For Miss Liu, who came from other places, it also took a lot of time to explain.
However, Ji Conan didn't think about it anymore.
This year's project is operated by the county branch and related units, who only supervise. The poverty alleviation point he chose was not set by him. He just does his job. Moreover, it is not surprising that the family conditions of Officer Tan of Hecun Village are better than those of other villagers, so there is no need to generalize.
Ji Conan was thinking about it, and a woman came in from outside. Who could this be?
