Chapter 64: United
Sun Honggang smiled, since Qiao Xi said that Zhang Shouye and the other people in the neighborhood committee were busy, he was relieved. He didn't want them to come to the village committee because they were lazy, and if that was the case, he really had to give them a good lecture.
Serving the people is not just about shouting slogans, but about putting them into action.
Qiao Xi led a few people to the dilapidated houses that were being renovated, and found various expenses on the account book and pointed them out to Sun Honggang.
How much money was spent on building materials such as bricks and cement, and how much labor costs were spent, I told Sun Honggang one by one.
Director Ma of the Poverty Alleviation Office walked around the house, looking at the busy masons, and asking various questions about the house from time to time.
The male reporter carried a camera and kept filming, and several renovated houses had been built, including the house of Zhang Cripple's family.
Her house used to be surrounded by half-height earthen walls, and the house leaked rain all year round, but now it has become a three-room gray tile red brick house, with a cement yard, aluminum alloy doors and windows, and the house looks spacious and bright.
After the death of Zhang's mother and son, Qiao Xi helped apply for the five guarantees, and now the government supports food, clothing, medical care and housing, and the most basic life is guaranteed.
Today is Sunday, Nan Nan is lying on the table writing homework, Zhang's mother is by her side, peeling an apple in her hand, and sending it to Nan Nan's mouth from time to time.
Nan Nan happily took a bite again and again, and then concentrated on writing a few crooked words in the Tian character grid.
Qiao Xi led Sun Honggang to push the door in, and Zhang's mother was surprised, so she quickly moved the stool and handed it over.
As soon as Nan Nan saw Qiao Xi coming, her sister and sister shouted and threw herself into her arms.
"Would you like my sister to see the homework she wrote?" Qiao Xi rubbed Nannan's head and walked to the table.
Nan Nan took Tian Zi Ge in her hand, and her little face showed shyness, "Nan Nan's handwriting is not good-looking." β
Qiao Xi smiled and took her Tian character grid, the rows of words were written neatly, and the font was indeed a little naΓ―ve, but the rows of words were read together, but it was the most powerful sentence.
I love you, Motherland!
Sun Honggang also looked at the Tian character grid written by Hui Nan Nan and nodded, "Children are the hope of the motherland, and it seems that they are doing the right thing to run a school in the village." β
Together with Director Ma of the Poverty Alleviation Office, he asked Zhang's mother about some things, all of which were concerned about her life.
Zhang's mother was not good at words, so she rubbed her hands stiffly, "I'm doing well now, with the government and Secretary Qiao, I have hope for my life." β
Sun Honggang and Director Ma nodded one after another, this is what they want to see the most, so that the poor households have hope and hope in their hearts, so that their lives can be a little better, a little better.
The male reporter carried a camera to shoot the surroundings and did some interviews with Zhang's mother. Qiao Xi used to carry Nan Nan outside the house, Nan Nan was too young, she was worried that she would one day have an inferiority complex because of poverty, and she didn't want her to be exposed in front of the media.
Caring for children starts with their mental health.
Leaving Zhang's mother's family, Qiao Xi led Sun Honggang and others to several other difficult households, and their dilapidated houses were renovated. Moving into a new house, everyone's face was filled with gratitude.
Sun Honggang became in a very good mood, walked to the alley outside, and said to Qiao Xi: "Your Xiaoquanzi Village has done a good job, every penny has been spent on the needy groups, and it has lived up to the government's expectations of you." β
Qiao Xi shook his head and smiled, and then led a few people towards the mountain.
"Qiao Xi, you should tell us now, what are the old village chiefs all busy with?" Sun Honggang became more and more puzzled, they came down to check the renovation of dilapidated houses, it had been two or three hours, and they had not seen other members of the neighborhood committee rush over, which seemed very strange.
"Secretary Sun, you'll find out soon."
Walking along the road at the edge of the village, there are mountains in front of you, and there is no need for Qiao Xi to explain more, Sun Honggang has already seen the busy people all over the mountain.
"What is this doing?" His face was full of surprise, he walked a few steps quickly, went up the mountain, and saw that everyone was digging tree pits, and the tree pits all over the mountain made him even more surprised.
Zhang Shouye saw Sun Honggang not far away, hurriedly put down the shovel in his hand, wiped the sweat with his cuffs and walked over quickly, "Secretary Sun, when did you come to our village?" β
"What are you doing here?" Sun Honggang didn't answer, and pointed to the tree pits all over the mountain and asked.
"Plant trees." The wrinkles on Zhang Shouye's face were glowing red, and he pulled Sun Honggang's arm, and wanted to walk around to explain.
Coincidentally, at this time, there was a horn sound at the bottom of the mountain, and many people looked down, and there were two cars below, one was Ji Xuyang's car, followed by a big truck, and the saplings were piled high in the body behind.
Qiao Xi had already gotten out of the car first, and greeted Ji Xuyang who walked out of the car door, "You bought this sapling very quickly?" β
Ji Xuyang smiled calmly: "It's not because your Secretary Qiao designated to go to the forestry department of your town to buy saplings, and you didn't leave the town, so it didn't take too long." β
The body at the back of the truck had been lowered, and inside was a pile full of saplings, each with a piece of fresh dirt wrapped in plastic paper at its roots.
Qiao Xi glanced at it a few times and asked Ji Xuyang, who came with her, "What kind of sapling is in this car?" β
"Here are three kinds of saplings." Ji Xuyang pointed to the area divided by the car and said: "One is an apple sapling, one is a pear tree, and the other is a jujube tree. This is only a small part, and today we have to work overtime to plant all these in the mountains, so that the survival rate can also be guaranteed. We plant the seedlings at the same time, so that we can plant them in an orderly manner according to the plan. β
Qiao Xi nodded again and again, and then shouted towards the mountain: "Old and young masters, come and unload the car." β
The villagers rushed down from the mountain, and Ji Xuyang called his staff from the crowd, "This is the sapling of the apple tree, pear tree and jujube tree, you take everyone to take the sapling to the place we planned, one tree pit and one sapling." β
"Got Mr. Ji!" A staff member shouted loudly, and then a few simple divisions were divided, each responsible for the relevant saplings, standing on the side of the mountain to guide the villagers to prevent them from being sent to the wrong place.
Each area on the mountain is planned, and when the trees and flowers are planted, it is a beautiful picture.
Chen Feng and the village party members climbed into the car and handed the saplings to the villagers below. The villagers carried it up the hill again, and there was a lively and busy scene everywhere.
Qiao Xi looked at the two people in the crowd and was stunned for a moment, and the secretary of the town party committee and Director Ma of the poverty alleviation office also joined the team carrying the saplings.
As for the male reporter they brought earlier, he was carrying a camera and taking pictures around, which was a good opportunity for publicity.
The development of poor villages has come without warning!
"Secretary Sun, Director Ma, why did you come over to help?" Qiao Xi helped a villager, carried a few saplings on his shoulders, and hurriedly followed over and asked.
Sun Honggang glared at Qiao Xi while carrying the sapling to the mountain, "Okay, you Qiao Xi, such a big thing has been hidden from us." β
"Didn't I want to surprise you and Director Ma?" Qiao Xi smiled bitterly.
Sun Honggang snorted, carried the sapling up the mountain, turned his head and said to Director Ma of the Poverty Alleviation Office behind him: "Old horse, your physique is really lacking in exercise, two years younger than me, and not as fast as me." β
Director Ma laughed out loud and followed closely.
Qiao Xi was also going over to move the saplings, but was pulled aside by Ji Xuyang, frowning and saying, "There are so many people, I don't need you." β
Qiao Xi smiled: "It's okay, this is the work in the village, I should take a hand." β
Ji Xuyang sighed and put the bill for buying saplings into her hand, "If you have time to calculate the accounts, right, you don't need to move the saplings." β
After saying that, he took off his outer suit jacket, entered the crowd, picked up the sapling, and strode up the mountain.
Qiao Xi looked at his back as he walked away, and felt a sweet feeling in his heart inexplicably, and then picked up the bill of the sapling and looked at it.
Gradually, the saplings on the car were unloaded, and everyone began to plant the trees in the pits dug in the mountains and fill in the soil.
Under the guidance of the staff of Jinding Company, I went to the river to get a bucket of water and began to water the saplings.
The secretary of the town party committee looked at it for a while, thought about it, and pulled Zhang Shouye to the side, "Come to the village chief, it's too troublesome to water like this, so let's arrange for someone from the water company to come over and lay a pipe on your mountain, which can not only save water, but also make it much more convenient." β
Everyone's hearts are together, just to take off the hat of poverty in Xiaoquanzi Village.
