Chapter 241: Special Lunch

After the coordinator finished explaining, he said some official words and clichΓ©s, Conan didn't remember, he left them and went to busy his own business, it was said to be a meeting, but what kind of meeting, I don't know, this is a secret, as a staff member of a civil organization, it's not easy to say, and there is no need to guess, it's just a trivial matter, arguing, and in the end it has to be dealt with according to the opinion of the "number one person". Ji Conan thought to himself, trivial things, who happens to them, is a big thing. Insiders are obsessed, outsiders are sober, and probably don't know what it's like. The song is good, the song has a story, and the people who listen to the song listen to the story and emit different feelings.

Jiang Menshen suggested going back to the hotel, he said: "It's a bit far to go to the village, and besides, there is nothing in the village project office, so there is still some tea supply here, which is more comfortable." ”

Guests follow the host, to this mountain, to sing the mountain song, lest you not be able to follow the customs, break the rules, especially the Miao ethnic minorities, more careful, do not make decisions casually, if the relationship is destroyed, then the consequences are very serious, it seems to be a trivial matter, in fact, it will involve many aspects of the problem, have to be careful.

Everyone went upstairs, and the host quickly poured tea for everyone, just after eating, it was good to drink some green tea.

This is the green tea base, on the way here, Conan saw a lot of tea gardens, neat, with the mountain changes and looks, it looks more soothing, a bit like the female body in the art, just a green beauty body.

Also, there are some beautifully built tea factories, one after another, with neat piles of firewood stacked under the eaves.

After the beginning of spring, maybe these firewood will play a big role, not used to grow fungus, but used to roast tea, the process of tea has been many years, it is a traditional craft, most of the people here will roast, the woman is responsible for picking tea, the man is responsible for making tea, the annual tea income is half of the farmer's, the other half, rely on the income of part-time work.

As for planting and breeding, there is no income, just general, most of the things grown such as baogu sweet potatoes are fed to pigs, and a small part is eaten by themselves; The things they raised were pigs and sheep, which they also killed for the New Year, made into bacon, or slaughtered and sold the sheep, and the latter were pickled, smoked, and kept for themselves to eat, or for their children to eat, and they worked, took away, and ate at the place where they worked. Both. Tea making is more expensive, and they can also come back to help when it comes to tea picking season.

Tea picking is a kind of technical work, need to invest time, and can not be operated by machine, must be used by hand, every spring, is the time when tea picking is particularly busy, at this time, some people say that this is a culture, tea picking is a non-field important activity, but also part of the income of tea farmers.

After listening to his introduction, Conan understood in his heart that this village officer may not have manpower, and he is more concerned about the development of the village, especially the need for water, and has been shouting for many years, and there are such problems everywhere, but unfortunately, no one came to help them, and when they met Conan, they were like seeing a savior.

Everyone sat down in Yin Xianren's room, drinking tea while waiting for someone, the cadre in charge of the project has not yet come, I heard that the cadre is stationed in the village, squatting in the village, to develop the White Stork Village, without him.

Township cadres are one level higher than village cadres, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are too late, and this is the special feature of this level.

Everyone was gossiping, Jiang Menshen was born in the army, and after being a soldier, he was demobilized to the village, and later because he joined the party in the army, he performed well, and he was a "five good soldier". Later, he participated in the self-defense counterattack, fought Vietnam, returned to the village, was elected as the village clerk, and after several years of hard work, became a village officer. He was upright, retained some of the work style of the troops, and resolutely carried out the tasks of his superiors without ambiguity.

If the superior makes the wrong decision, it must be carried out according to the wrong method, and there is no room for negotiation.

The people are a little afraid of him, but they can't do without him, and without him, there is no suitable person to lead everyone forward. With him, he had to reprimand them with a straight face as he admonished a new warrior. The villagers were afraid of him, hated him, and loved him, and as a result, being a village official was like eating raw rice, which was very uncomfortable, but if he didn't eat it, he had nothing else to eat.

He has two children, a son and a daughter, who are eligible and have no fine, but his daughter-in-law is not in good health and has no fine, but he sent the money to the hospital, although he was a little unwilling to send it over, but there was no way, because of his wife's illness, he was dragged down, saved some money, and dedicated it to the hospital.

A pair of sons and daughters have gone through difficult years, they all went to work outside, and the son graduated from college and was assigned to a better unit, which can be regarded as having some savings, which can supplement the family, and in addition, can share some medical expenses for them.

His wife has an ordinary gynecological disease, but this ordinary disease is not good all year round, and she also needs to donate to the hospital. Even if this donation is unwilling, reluctant, this problem has been entangled with him, many years have passed, he still has not been able to solve it, he loves her, is willing to protect him, and is willing to spend more money, but he doesn't have much money, the salary is a little more than 10,000, this is the annual salary, in addition, the telephone bill is also a lot of expenses, so many people in the village, sometimes notify the meeting or something, all need to use the telephone.

However, the reimbursement of telephone bills has become a problem, and there are many yamen, and it takes several trips to reimburse a ticket.

Other people's houses have built new buildings, his house is still an old house, compared with his neighbors, he is more than ten years behind, not for his wife's illness, he has already erected the building, and it is taller than other buildings, all beautiful.

After listening to his introduction, the three of them sighed, they didn't know how to comfort him, they couldn't imagine that after walking so many villages, he was still a poor officer. This is rare. I generally feel that doing things for everyone and being kind-hearted should be rewarded well, not the other way around. If everyone is dedicated to goodness and has money, and everyone strives to follow suit, it will definitely make a big difference in the atmosphere. This is an afterword, Ji Conan knows in his heart that he just can't say it, and if he can say it, he may not realize it. It's like a fantasy.

As he was talking, a staff member sent by the Township Coordination Office came in, and he reported to his home: "I am the Township Coordination Officer stationed in the village, and I am responsible for liaison work. My surname is Xiangxin, I work in the office of the Township Coordination Office, and I welcome everyone to come to my township to support the development of White Stork Village. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and when he saw this scene, everyone stood up and shook hands with him, he was like a gentleman, graceful, but his hand was like being frozen by ice cubes, symbolically shaking hands with everyone, that elegant gesture, it seemed that he was very noble, disdainful of shaking hands with Yin Xianren and Togo, who were like farmers.

Conan visibly sensed his disdain, that something was wrong. Togo's face is black, but this tan is not tanned, it is born like this; Yin Xianren's face is not white, and he doesn't like to smile, the boss has a face, such a guy, at a glance, is the appearance of a small boss of a rural commissary, not at all like a person sent by a large international organization, how to infiltrate the agency is doubtful, may not be able to find a suitable staff and have to be hired, other than that, there is no other explanation.

He was a little disappointed, but looking at Conan, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, the project may not be successful.

He chatted with everyone for a while, and then turned to the topic and asked, "Excuse me, how much money do you want to invest in White Stork Village this time?" ”

"Two hundred and forty thousand." Togo said.

"How much?" Bu Xiangxin asked again.

"240,000 yuan."

"Dollars?" Bu Xiangxin's eyes lit up, hoping that he guessed correctly, if he guessed correctly, it would be a lot of investment, he hurriedly asked.

"Renminbi." Yin Xianren said coldly, he had already smelled the copper smell on Bu Xiangxin's body, which was very strong.

Bu Xiangxin listened, and suddenly felt that his legs were weak, he sat on the bed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoked one, and handed it to Jiang Menshen, who took the cigarette and said, "Come, smoke one." ”

Jiang Menshen said, "Thank you, Lao Bu! ”

"No thanks, these comrades don't smoke?" Bu Xiangxin asked, and the two eyeballs turned left and right, like glass marbles rolling around in a bowl, and there was never a fixed place.

Conan hurriedly waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive the smoke away, and his heart was very disgusted with this passive inhalation, and he said again and again, "We don't smoke." ”

"It's good not to smoke, it's good not to smoke, save money, save money."

"Where, we don't smoke, we don't save much money, it's better to smoke, we can make friends." Yin Xianren said, and quickly added: "Smoking can bring people closer to each other and connect feelings, which is a must for social interaction, otherwise it will not be mixed." The tobacco industry is thriving, there is no need for advertising, and business is booming. ”

Yin Xianren took over the conversation and said the benefits of smoking, this guy may smoke again, but the time has not come, and when the time comes, he will definitely relapse. It's just that he doesn't run a commissary now, which means that the grocery store in his hometown can no longer be touched, and he doesn't have much energy to make a comeback, after all, time is not forgiving.

The small boss doesn't smoke, that's a joke, only smoking, his cigarettes can be sold, because smoking is originally a support for the tobacco cause, even if the tobacco contains a lot of taxes, he is willing to pay. Ji Conan saw Yoon Hyun-in's hypocrisy. Yoon may have made a lot of money selling cigarettes. With cigarettes, it can bring him more wealth.

The number of smokers, Conan estimates, the current Chinese people definitely occupy the first place, the tobacco sector, in China is definitely the richest man, followed by hospitals. The most common patients who are treated in hospitals are people who suffer from various diseases caused by smoking. Smoking causes more harm than all. Crucially, people who passively inhale secondhand smoke are also contaminated. Passive secondhand smoke is unpleasant.

As a staff member of the institution, the salary is too small, Conan does not dare to smoke, and if he gets sick from smoking, he is afraid that he will have no money for treatment.

Besides, if you smoke cigarettes, you have to buy cigarettes, and buying cigarettes is also a big expense, buying cigarettes, paying taxes, which is equivalent to double taxation, Conan doesn't have much money to pay taxes, so he simply saves this head, saves money on cigarettes, and in addition, saves money for medical treatment, why smoke? Is it for social needs? How many people have received help from their smoker friends?

Seeing them smoking, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Conan was worried about Jiang Menshen, this guy, there is a wife at home, he must have an impact on his cardiopulmonary function when he smokes, he is sick, how to take care of the patient? Maybe he'll die first, and his wife will still be sick, or die, who knows?

The people in the mountains are probably like this, they see life very lightly, because life is gone in an instant, today is still there, tomorrow will not be there; No one can predict that those who are still alive today will lack arms and legs tomorrow, because the living conditions in the mountainous areas are relatively poor, the traffic is inconvenient, and accidents and car accidents are frequent, and accidents often occur.

Bu Xiangxin said: "Your money is definitely not enough, and you can only solve the drinking water problem of one group at most." ”

"Not necessarily, the projects we are doing in Chuxi are all like this, and they can't be used up." Togo shook his head and said with pride and pride.

"That's Chuxi, this is Jiufeng, it's different, the time and place are different, and the experience is different. There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and you have to change according to the situation. Bu Xiangxin said, his eyes slanted at Togo very contemptuously, but Togo didn't notice.

"I know very well that these 240,000 can definitely solve the drinking water problem of the whole village, if you don't believe it, we'll see." Togo and Bu Xiangxin looked at each other, and neither was convinced.

Conan thought to himself that if he had been invited to dinner at noon, it might not have been the result. You know, eating people with a soft mouth and taking people with short hands, he doesn't get anything, maybe he is doing things with complaints, and he is talking with resentment.

Bu Xiangxin rolled his eyes, as if he had already said confidently: "If your foundation wants to implement this project in White Stork Village, if you don't increase the money, I'm afraid it won't work." If the money is added, it may be barely completed. ”

"How much more is it going to be?" Yin Xianren was a little shaken, he took over the conversation and asked immediately.

"It needs to be doubled again, which is a total of 720,000 to barely finish." Bu Xiangxin said that his eyes began to roll up to the sky, which was the rhythm of going over the wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, but he didn't expect that this Bu Xiangxin would open his mouth wide and ask for two times, it is estimated that the Township Coordination Office is trying to find a way to get money, and when he encounters a stupid hat like the Foundation and hits the muzzle of the gun, if he doesn't shoot at this time, when will he wait? If we can dig up gold from the Foundation, I am afraid that we can solve some of the practical difficulties at the moment. Besides, the hometown of the boss of the provincial head office is here, how can it be done without strong support?

With this level of relationship, Yin Xianren is smart and knows how to turn corners, he said: "In this way, we need to go to the village to see how much money is needed, and we can discuss it again and try to make this project go smoothly, there will definitely be difficulties in the middle, but we will work together to find a way to overcome the difficulties, and finally complete the project and achieve the goal." What do you think? ”
