"Since everyone is not going to leave." Qiao Xi looked at an individual in the village committee, nodded and said, "Then from now on, we will have a meeting!" ”

She found the party membership list in the village and called out everyone's name. As her voice fell, she got up one by one and replied.

Because every time I come to a meeting, there will be a subsidy of ten yuan, and this meeting is also full of all people.

Village Chief Zhang Shouye sat at his desk, found a pen and paper, and turned around, "Secretary Qiao, you can talk about the content of this meeting, I'm very curious, the reason why you mobilized everyone to gather everyone." ”

He made enough gestures, if Qiao Xi couldn't say that she was ugly, let her make a fool of herself in public.

The others also understood Zhang Shouye's thoughts, and also showed a little contempt for Qiao Xi.

"I've brought everyone together because I have something to announce." Qiao Xi smiled slightly, and his face gradually became serious, "I came to our Xiaoquanzi Village to take up a post because I brought a poverty alleviation fund from the town party committee for the construction of our village, and I came to discuss how to use this money." ”

Everyone lit up, and their breathing became short.

Qian Xifeng, the women's director, hurriedly came over and asked, "Secretary Qiao, how much money did the town give?" ”

Qiao Xi took out a check from the town from his bag, "Two hundred thousand." ”

Qian Xifeng sat on the chair behind him in shock, "Two hundred thousand? So much? ”

The annual income of the Xiaoquanzi Village Committee is only 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, and after removing the funds of the village committee and miscellaneous repair fees, there are only a few left.

200,000 is a huge number for them.

Zhang Shouye swallowed his saliva, his brain spun quickly, and suddenly such a large amount of money came, how to spend it.

The other party members became excited, stood up one by one and shouted: "Secretary Qiao, since the above has given 200,000 poverty alleviation funds, of course we are going to send them door to door." ”

"There are a total of 200 households in our village, and on average, each household is 1,000 yuan, how good is that!"

"It can't be counted like this, some households have two people, like our family has five or six people, I think it should be averaged to people!"

The 200,000 yuan allocated by the town party committee for poverty alleviation has become a big fat bite in the eyes of these people, and in order to obtain the greatest benefits, they quarrel fiercely.

Zhang Shouye smoked the cigarette pouch pot hard, glared at them, and spewed out a puff of smoke: "Can you have a little brain, divide the 200,000 yuan, and you will be out of poverty?" This 200,000 yuan, no one should mess around, I want to use it to buy a wheat harvester, the wheat in the village will be ripe in a short time, so there is no need to contact the wheat harvester everywhere. ”

Since the old village chief had spoken, the rest of the people were silent and nodded, "Then listen to the village chief!" ”

Zhang Shouye walked over and wanted to take the check in Qiao Xi's hand, "Secretary Qiao, just leave the matter of buying a wheat cutter to me." I'll take a good look at it and buy the best quality for the least amount of money. ”

His hand was empty, and Qiao Xi took the check away.

Zhang Shouye looked at Qiao Xi with some unhappiness, "Secretary Qiao, what do you mean?" This is the money that the town gave us to Xiaoquanzi Village, do you want to take it for yourself? ”

Qiao Xi pressed down his palm and motioned for him to sit back in his chair, "Village Chief Zhang, I know that you bought the wheat cutter for the sake of the village, but there are priorities, and the matter of the wheat cutter can be put aside for a while." When the wheat is ripe, we can contact the wheat harvesters in other villages to help harvest the wheat, and our village does not need to raise a wheat harvester with hundreds of thousands of yuan. ”

"And what do you want to do with this money?" Zhang Shouye's face changed slightly.

Qiao Xi's eyes were firm, and he said word by word: "Build a school for the children in the village." ”

"What?" Many people present were surprised.

Zhang Shouye, who had just sat back in his chair, stood up angrily, "Build a school, I don't agree, our children here don't need to go to school, and whose children are not helping to work." ”

Qiao Xi sighed, "Village Chief Zhang, adults can endure a little hardship, but children are the hope of a family." When the youth is strong, the country is strong, and our country also needs them. ”

"I don't listen to these big things." Zhang Shouye shouted angrily: "Besides, it doesn't cost 200,000 yuan to build a school, and it is a waste to spend money here." ”

Qiao Xi patiently explained: "We are not only building a school, but also allowing students to learn and succeed in it. There are so many left-behind children in our village, we need to give them the same opportunity to study as the children in the city. And if the school is to continue to operate, this money cannot be spent elsewhere, but must be kept for the children. ”

"I disagree!" Zhang Shouye walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned his head and shouted to the party members who were at the meeting: "Do you say that you are buying a wheat cutter or building a school?" ”

"Buy a wheat cutter!" Almost everyone shouted at the same time.

Zhang Shouye nodded slightly, "This is a meeting in the village, and any decision needs to be voted on by everyone, and those who want to buy a wheat cutter raise their hands." ”

He was the first to raise his hand, and a pair of hands followed suit.

Everyone looked at Qiao Xi, Zhang Shouye became proud, the affairs of the village still need to be decided by his old qualifications, Qiao Xi is just a female doll in her twenties after all.

"There is no need to continue the discussion." Qiao Xi crossed his hands on the table, and said with an unmoving expression: "I just want to listen to everyone's opinions, I have already reported to the town party committee about the construction of the school, and I have also obtained their consent." ”

Zhang Shouye couldn't speak, stuffed tobacco into the cigarette pouch pot, and smoked in a muffled voice.

The 200,000 yuan was brought by Qiao Xi from the town, and he was the first secretary of the village, and he was affirmed by the town party committee, and he lost his temper at all.

"Village Chief Zhang." Qiao Xi walked over, and in Zhang Shouye's surprised gaze, he put the check in his hand, "You are a native of Xiaoquanzi Village, and the matter of building the school will be handled by you, and you will take care of it for the children." ”

Zhang Shouye's eyes were a little complicated, he was silent, and said: "Don't worry, I will remember every money clearly, even a penny will be used on the blade." ”

"Then I'll thank you for the children." Qiao Xi nodded, and looked at the people around him with a commanding tone, "Except for the village cadres, the rest of the people dispersed." ”

In addition to Zhang Shouye and Qian Xifeng, a man in his thirties was also left.

Chen Feng is a member of the village party committee, a former failed student in the college entrance examination, wearing a pair of highly myopic glasses, his hair is messy, and he looks a little wooden. Because I had ink in my stomach, I wrote notices and ran errands in the village committee.

Zhang Shouye went to contact about the construction of the school, and Qian Xifeng went to the town to handle the five guarantees for Zhang Cripple's family.

Qiao Xi asked Chen Feng to accompany him to see the entire Xiaoquanzi Village, to find out the root cause of the poverty in Xiaoquanzi Village.

Xiaoquanzi Village is surrounded by bare and barren mountains, overgrown with shrubs and weeds, and occasionally you can see a few sparse mountain trees and trees.

Qiao Xi stepped on the potholed dirt road, his brows furrowed more and more, the mountains were full of traces of felling, and the original green waters and green mountains became devastated.

"Why are the trees on the mountain almost cut down, what's going on?"

Chen Feng next to him said very little, he kept his head down, and when he heard Qiao Xi's words, he rubbed his hands and raised his head, "Secretary Qiao, our village has not had any income over the years, and we have sold some wood, as well as cutting down trees to build houses and firewood. Some time ago, the old secretary held a meeting to study and planned to cut down all the trees on the mountain to see if he could plant corn, so that he could also bring a certain amount of income to everyone. ”

Qiao Xi sighed lightly, looked at the surrounding mountains and fell into deep thought, the state has been supporting afforestation, but here it is the opposite, it is illegal to destroy forests and open up wasteland!

The slopes of the hill are full of wheat fields, and it is harvest season, the sun is scorching, the ground is steaming, and the wheat has faded to emerald green and turned yellow.

Last night the wind blew in the middle of the night, and the wheat fell into pieces, and the fields were full of people with hats supporting the wheat. Clusters of wheat were lifted up, and a piece of wheat was plucked off and tied up.

Looking at the past, it was all a busy scene.

"Secretary Qiao." Chen Feng said a little unconfidently: "Its practical method of supporting wheat will only break the wheat and reduce the yield." ”

When Qiao Xi looked over, he lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "This is just my idea, not necessarily right." ”

"Why don't you tell everyone?" Qiao Xi asked rhetorically.

Chen Feng raised his head hesitantly, revealing a little bitterness, "Everyone won't listen to me, and it's useless to say it." ”

Qiao Xi groaned slightly, "You have a holiday with everyone?" ”

"Not really!" After a long time, Chen Feng smiled, "I failed everyone, and everyone should dislike me." ”

Chen Feng's parents died early when he was young, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and the old and young in the village also thought that he was a good seedling and provided him with school, hoping that he would have a future and lead everyone out of poverty, but he didn't expect Chen Feng to fail in the college entrance examination, and everyone complained about it.

Listening to Chen Feng's narration, Qiao Xi was a little silent for a while, and sighed slightly, "You go and tell everyone what you think." ”

Chen Feng hesitated and took two steps back.

"Chen Feng!" Qiao Xi's eyes became sharp, and he said word by word: "Tell me what you are afraid of, afraid that everyone will poke your backbone again and scold you for not being admitted to college back then?" ”

Chen Feng didn't say a word, and nodded for a while.

Qiao Xi suddenly became angry, looked at the man who was half a head taller than him, and shouted angrily: "Chen Feng, is it because of your cowardice that you can watch the yield of wheat planted by everyone with peace of mind?" Are you still not a party member? Or are they not cadres from our Xiaoquanzi Village? ”
