On the winding mountain road to Xiaohe Township, a car full of people was struggling to drive, and Chen Youwei was squeezing into the seat with a few peasant-looking passengers at the moment. The passenger car, which could only carry more than 20 people, was crammed with at least 50 people, and many villagers who seemed to have come to the county seat to catch the market were full of people, and the small carriage was full of baskets and bamboo baskets and sacks.

The small space is filled with the smell of countless people's breath and sweat, and there are even people who do not have a sense of public morality, where the old god enjoys the comfort of driving the clouds and fog with cigarettes on the spot.

Chen Youwei's eyes narrowed slightly, calmly looking at the faces of the beings in the carriage, this kind of scene in front of him was actually very kind to him who was born as a civilian. Although the air environment was a little worse and it was true that the carriage was a little more crowded, for him, who had completely accepted everything from the other world, compared to the more difficult life of a mercenary, it was already extremely comfortable.

The work of stationing people in Xiacun has been carried out in an all-round way, and the county party committee has also convened a special meeting to make arrangements for this purpose, and it has been vigorously publicized, and even the Yicheng Daily has been on the page.

However, for millet shrimp like Chen Youwei, these big scenes have little to do with him.

As soon as the propaganda meeting ended, he took his luggage to the bus station to catch an old bus and rushed to Xiaohe Township, the destination of his trip. He had to report to Xiaohe Township before going to his final destination, Liujiawan Village.

The county seat of Shuiyang County is located in the north of the county, while Xiaohe Township is located in the southernmost part of Shuiyang County, adjacent to Hongma County in Jiangbei Province. Liujiawan Village is an administrative village hidden deep in the mountains, and it is said that the total population is only more than 1,000 people.

Chen Youwei took the car at 10 o'clock in the morning and swayed on the winding mountain road for almost three hours before he could see the old streets on the streets of Xiaohe Township from a distance. Chen Youwei, who was carrying luggage, got off the station, and before he could take a good breath of fresh air on the side of the road, he was smoked by the thick black smoke spit out by the heavy bus. The bus quickly filled up with passengers and turned around and left, seemingly unwilling to stay here for a minute longer.

The sun was high overhead, and it was the hottest time of the day, with pedestrians and potholes on the streets of Xiaohe Township. Raising his hand to look at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Youwei easily found a restaurant and simply asked for a bowl of noodles to cope with it.

At this time, the township government must be empty, so Chen Youwei simply sat in the restaurant and rested for a while.

The streets of Xiaohe Township are not too long, the two long streets should have existed for many years in a cross-sectional way, Chen Youwei can even see that some houses are completely stone, looking at the mottled walls and simple shapes, it is normal to say that they have a history of 100 years.

Perhaps the peak period of business has passed, and the idle shop owner has begun to gossip with Chen Youwei. I learned from the boss that today is a gathering in Xiaohe Township, which is also the reason why Chen Youwei waited for half a day at the county bus station before leaving. Fortunately, the daily shuttle bus arrives at noon, otherwise the shuttle bus will be surrounded by the surging crowd of people rushing to the market, and it will not be able to start and leave here for an hour.

Chen Youwei had the heart to learn more about the situation in Xiaohe Township with the boss here, took out the Ximei cigarettes that he often smoked on weekdays and handed them over, and said politely: "It sounds like this Xiaohe Township is quite lively, but I don't think the streets in this township seem to be very presentable, and some of them are too dilapidated, right?" ”

"Young man, the baby in the city, right?" The boss took the cigarette with a smile, lit it and said: "Don't underestimate our Xiaohe Township, it has been the main road from Jiangbei Province to Shannan Province in the south since hundreds of years ago, and many of those old houses were built before the founding of the People's Republic of China." ”

Meimei took two sips and the boss continued: "Don't look at the population of Xiaohe Township, which is not very large, but because it is thirty miles south of this is the boundary of Jiangbei, and twenty miles east is Huaihai Province. Every time people from the two nearby provinces come to our Xiaohe Township, hehe, it is not surprising that there are tens of thousands of people on the set at most. ”

There was no lack of pride in his tone, and the boss may have seen that Chen Youwei did not look like an ordinary person, poured a large bowl of tea, and asked: "Your baby doesn't look like it's from our local, is it here to visit relatives?" ”

Seeing the boss looking at his dress, Chen Youwei shook his head slowly, and he suddenly realized that the outfit of white shirts, black trousers, and leather shoes on weekdays was a little out of place in the current environment.

"No, I'm here to do something in Xiaohe Township." Chen Youwei naturally won't tell the truth.

"Oh? That's the people of the public family, right? The well-informed boss's eyes lit up, and his words unconsciously became much more enthusiastic.

Chen Youwei didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he denied it again and again: "I don't eat public grain, I have some business to do, and I want to come to the township to see the market." ”

Chen Youwei's Yicheng accent made the boss have no suspicion at all, and became more enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "If you do business, it will be even more powerful, don't hide it from you, little brother, we have nothing else in Xiaohe Township, but this tea, chestnut and other mountain goods are famous far and wide." If you want to contact the source, just tell me. ”

"Hehe, that's a good dare, if you really need an old brother, I will definitely look for you." Chen Youwei couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect that the owner of this small restaurant still had some potential as a businessman, and this friendship was so enthusiastic that people couldn't stand it.

"I was only commissioned by the company to explore the way, and I had to consult with the local government department first." Chen Youwei began to grin, if he was really entangled by this overly enthusiastic guy, I am afraid that he would not be able to do anything today.

"Cut, it's not my brother, I don't like what I say, if you want to count on those guys who just eat and don't work, it's definitely no fun." The boss, who was about forty years old, took two puffs of cigarette and sighed: "Those people are all wastes with eyes on the top of their heads, and they are masters who take the public and eat the public, if you really want them to do something, then it's difficult!" ”

Chen Youwei's heart moved, he wanted to know more, and he knew very well that whether it was his current self or his own in another world, he was very lacking in this kind of work and life experience at the grassroots level in the countryside. Perhaps it is in this situation that we can obtain the most authentic information about this rural township, so that we can calmly cope with the difficult environment that is coming.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's not interesting. The transportation in our Xiaohe Township is underdeveloped, the economy is also backward, and those who have the ability will not come, but if there is a relationship, they will stay away and run to the city early. There are only a few guys who have no connections and no ability to do it here. The boss pointed to this street and said to Chen Youwei: "See such a long street, but there are not many restaurants?" Hmph, they are all owed to death by the debts of these gods. These guys in the township government have no other skills, so they know how to eat and eat. ”

Perhaps seeing Chen Youwei's strange eyes, the boss straightened his chest, obviously showing off: "Brother, I still have some relationship, although I owe some debts on weekdays, but in general, I can recover most of them...... Hey hey ......"

Chen Youwei nodded silently, he basically accepted the words of the restaurant owner, and he knew that even if there was some moisture, it was not much different. Eating and drinking are now everywhere, not to mention far away, as far as he knows, the Shuiyang County Guest House in Ludao is overcrowded every day, and most of them are consumed with public funds. What really surprised him was that it was surprising that so many restaurants could be closed by a small township government.

It was not early, Chen Youwei finished paying for the meal and said goodbye to the boss who was talking about Xingnong. The boss is a wonderful person, he was still in a relationship with Chen Youwei before leaving, and even told him that if he wanted to entertain the leaders of the township government, he must come to him.

Chen Youwei waved his hand and left with tears and laughter, but he sighed in his heart, such a capable person is trapped in Xiaohe Township, it is a pity, a pity.

The Xiaohe Township Government is still easy to find, and according to the situation introduced by the owner of the restaurant, Chen Youwei soon came to the gate of the township government. The party committee and government of Xiaohe Township work together according to the usual practice, and the scale here is not large, all of them are old-fashioned brick houses. The only thing that is commendable in the courtyard is that the greenery is well done, and the avenue leading to the office area is lined with tall pines and cypresses, and behind the pines and cypresses is a small flower bed.

Looking at the clean and tidy township government compound, Chen Youwei, who walked into the courtyard, nodded secretly, at least on the surface, the management of the township government is quite formal. Thinking of what the chattering restaurant owner said just now, Chen Youwei shook his head for a while.

Chen ...... Youwei ......" A figure walked out of an office, looked up and saw Chen Youwei stunned, and called out Chen Youwei's name.

"Hello Township Chief Qin, I'm here to report from Xiaohe Township!" Chen Youwei walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward.

"Hahaha, I said why the magpies on this tree keep calling, it turns out that you, a talented man from the county government, are here!" Qin Daming grinned. As the head of Xiaohe Township, Qin Daming knows the situation of the county well, and he has been in contact with Chen Youwei several times because of his work relationship in the core department of the county government's comprehensive office.

"Oh? So you're the one who was assigned to our Xiaohe Township? Qin Daming's eyes flickered, and he was well-informed, and he asked knowingly.

Chen Youwei took out Hongta Mountain and handed it over respectfully, and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that I would have to work under Township Chief Qin in the future, and I would like to ask Township Chief Qin to take care of you more!" ”

Qin Daming, who is in his early forties, has a rough appearance, is born with a loud voice, and patting Chen Youwei's shoulder is a big smile: "Ha Lu haha, who doesn't know that you are a talented man who is the treasure of the county government, and it is our luck that you can come to Xiaohe Township." Come on, come on, sit in the house. ”

took Chen Youwei's luggage, and Qin Daming affectionately led Chen Youwei into his office.

"Didn't Secretary Huang also participate in the mobilization meeting? Why didn't you come with Secretary Huang's car? Qin Daming picked up the water bottle and poured water, and asked seemingly unintentionally, and then Da Ming smiled and said: "Hey, look at my memory, I forgot that Secretary Huang didn't come back tonight." ”

Chen Youwei didn't answer casually, he always kept smiling, respectfully accepted the teacup handed by the other party, and said politely: "Xie Lu Xie Qin, Township Chief." ”

After moistening his throat, Chen Youwei put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Huang is so busy with work, how can I be embarrassed to trouble him, it's good to take a bus over, just to enjoy the beautiful scenery of our Xiaohe Township." ”

Qin Daming smiled again: "What I like the most is to deal with you cultural people...... Yes, yes, although the conditions in our Xiaohe Township are a little worse, we also have our characteristics. Xiao Chen is right, the scenery of our Xiaohe Township is rare to see, and outsiders can't see it even if they want to see it. ”
