Chapter 45: Commencement
"Secretary Qiao......"
Zhang Shouye looked at Qiao Xi, he thought that Qiao Xi would agree to his resignation without hesitation, but he didn't expect Qiao Xi to tear up his resignation letter directly.
Qiao Xi looked at Zhang Shouye deeply and sighed lightly, "Old village chief, if you resign, who can help me implement the national poverty alleviation policy, and who can help everyone take off the hat of this poor village with me?" ”
Zhang Shouye's eyes showed shame, and he shook his head, "Secretary Qiao, it's already good if you don't blame me, where can I still have the ability to help you, if it weren't for my stubbornness, Xiaoquanzi might have developed a long time ago." ”
"Old village chief, you can't say that." Qiao Xi's eyes showed a bright light, "I remember that when I was about to come to Xiaoquanzi Village to take office, Secretary Sun of the town party committee told me that Xiaoquanzi Village has an old village chief who is dedicated to serving the people. In those years, when there was a drought in the village, you paid out of your own pocket to dig wells and install running water for the village. When the crops were not harvested, you sold all the valuable things left by your ancestors and helped everyone get through this hurdle. I think everyone has this in mind, and there is no one more qualified for the position of village chief than you. ”
The surrounding people seemed to have returned to those years, and they were a little emotional when they thought of this scene, and they shouted not to Zhang Shouye to resign, and they only recognized him as a village head.
"Okay, everyone, don't talk about it, I've already made up my mind." Zhang Shouye squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette bag and pot in one pocket. Thinking of those things in the past, I feel more and more ashamed of the present, and feel that I have selfishness now.
Qiao Xi looked at Zhang Shouye, and suddenly shouted angrily, "Zhang Shouye, are you really sure you want to resign?" Do you want the whole village to blame me, thinking that it was me Qiao Xi who forced you not to be the village chief? ”
"!" As soon as Zhang Shouye heard this, he stood up from the ground, walked to the steps in front of the village committee, pointed to the people below and shouted angrily: "You have all heard me clearly, don't talk nonsense in the future, Secretary Qiao can come to our village, it is a blessing for our village, everything she does is for the big guy." I, Zhang Shouye, want to resign because I know that I have done something wrong, and I have nothing to do with her Secretary Qiao. ”
The crowd below all came over and said: "Old village chief, we all believe what you say, and we also believe in Secretary Qiao, you can stay and continue to be the village chief, we will always believe you." ”
The sincere words and the simple faces made Zhang Shouye suddenly choked.
Qiao Xi came over and patted Zhang Shouye on the side of the shoulder, and said, "Old village chief, you also heard the words of the big guy, everyone is reluctant to let you be a good village chief." And I also need your help, so I implore you to stop mentioning your resignation and join me in this battle against poverty. ”
Zhang Shouye was slightly silent, finally thought about it, raised his head and said loudly: "Secretary Qiao, I listen to you!" ”
Qiao Xi smiled, and the people around him also smiled.
What happened in the neighborhood committee quickly spread in the village, especially about the Zhang Liang Plastics Factory, and many people were happy when they heard that the factory would have a new piece of equipment and that it would be expanded.
The machinery and equipment in Zhang Liang's factory were pulled to the city, and Li Degui, the owner of the equipment factory, would leave all the parts that could be used on the original machine in order to give Zhang Liang money to terminate the contract.
More than half a month later, good news came from the village, and the money for the renovation of dilapidated houses was allocated.
There are 22 poor households in the village whose houses are under renovation, so Qiao Xi and Zhang Shouye have held several meetings of all party members, mainly to study how to resettle the residence of the poor households during the renovation of dilapidated houses, and to form a construction team of people in the village, which can also bring income to their village.
Qiao Xi was in charge of the renovation of the dilapidated house, and Zhang Shouye was a little unhappy before, feeling that Qiao Xi lacked experience on the construction site, and may have brought unnecessary trouble due to negligence.
Now he doesn't think like that anymore, with him by Qiao Xi's side, he can help her keep an eye on it. There is really a mistake, just like what Secretary Sun of the town party committee said, don't look at Qiao Xi who is in charge of the renovation of the dilapidated house, he is the one who is looking for something really happens!
Cultivating new cadres and smoothly handing over power is also what Zhang Shouye needs to do now.
In the following period of time, Zhang Shouye did not hesitate to tell Qiao Xi about his experience as a village chief over the years, and helped her set up the first construction team in the village.
Qiao Xi has a full schedule every day, going to the town to buy cement and other building materials, comparing one family to another, and bargaining one by one.
The dilapidated houses in the village were demolished one by one, and the construction team was divided into three groups of people to enter the three households to start construction, so that the speed of building the houses could be faster.
Each government subsidy is 20,000 yuan, and in addition to the foundation, it is almost rebuilt, so that the poor households can live in a safe house.
Qiao Xi walked to a dilapidated house renovation resident, some of the masons were living cement, some were moving bricks and walls, they were very busy, the big frame of the house had been erected, and when she entered the house, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
A man in his thirties was lying lazily on the ground playing with his phone.
He was a little blind, Qiao Xi had never seen him in the village, and the other masons were covered in lime cement, and this person was relatively much cleaner.
"Who are you? Why don't you go out to work? Qiao Xi asked.
The man raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Xi, and when he saw that it was a girl, he waved his hand unhappily, "Who am I who cares about you, hurry up and do what you should do!" ”
"Stand up for me!" Qiao Xi hates this kind of lazy person the most, as if he has no bones, "Are you from our Xiaoquanzi Village?" What are you doing here? ”
A mason working outside heard the sound inside, hurriedly ran in, saw the situation in front of him, quickly pulled the man on the ground up from the ground, and explained to Qiao Xi with a smile: "Secretary Qiao, this is my wife's younger brother, who is idle at home, so I will pull him to work together." ”
Qiao Xi recognized him, his face turned cold, and he scolded: "Zhang Shun, who asked you to bring him here, I said that the masons here are just you people, in addition to knowing the roots, I also believe in your craftsmanship, you can build a solid house, and you are also right to trust us." ”
Zhang Shun is in his forties this year, not tall, with a scruffy beard, and was reprimanded by a girl, and his heart was a little unhappy, "Secretary Qiao, doesn't the government allocate 20,000 yuan for every difficult household?" If I don't spend 20,000 yuan, I can't keep the money, what's wrong with me adding someone more? Besides, I also asked the old village chief about this, and he had already nodded and agreed. ”
"You mean to let your wife and brother make money here and cheat the government out of money?" Qiao Xi's body trembled faintly, and he picked up his mobile phone and called Zhang Shouye, "Old village chief, where are you?" Come to me right now. ”
Hearing Qiao Xi call Zhang Shouye, Zhang Shun's face changed, and when he wanted to stop him, Qiao Xi had already finished calling and hung up.
A few minutes later, Zhang Shouye came over on a bicycle, put the car at the door, and hurried in, "Secretary Qiao, what's going on?" ”
Qiao Xi pointed to Zhang Shun's wife and brother, and said angrily: "You put him in the construction team?" ”
Zhang Shouye was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look, "This person is from our village?" ”
Zhang Shun hurriedly took out a cigarette roll and handed it over, "Old secretary, smoke first, I'll tell you about this slowly." ”
Zhang Shun planted his wife and brother in the construction team under the banner of Zhang Shouye, and the salary of their construction team was opened by Qian Xifeng, and Qian Xifeng also thought that Zhang Shouye agreed, and put the name of his wife and brother in the list of employees.
Zhang Shouye stretched out his hand to block the cigarette roll handed by Zhang Shun, pointed to his wife and brother and asked, "Shunzi, don't come with me like this, you have made this matter clear to me, what's the matter with him?" When did I let him in to work? ”
Zhang Shun's face turned red, and he vomited, "Old village chief, my wife's younger brother is looking for a job here and there during this time, so I will let him follow me to learn a trade, anyway, the government will take the money to open the money, and it will not be able to spend the money in the village." ”
Zhang Shouye was angry when he heard this, and kicked at Zhang Shun, "Okay, you haven't grown taller, it's all because of your heart!" It's time to make a fortune with the renovation of a dilapidated house! You fucking bastard, do you know that the renovation of dilapidated houses needs to be accepted by the government, and if something goes wrong, you have to be held accountable! Where do you want to put me and Secretary Qiao?! ”
