The Tao River is like a jade belt, passing around Pingyang Town.

Standing on the bank of the river, Xia Jian looked at the river and suddenly felt mixed feelings, as if all this was related to this water. Ouyang Hong straightened her long hair that was blown by the wind, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?" So focused"

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little sad" Xia Jian looked into the distance and said lightly.

Ouyang Hong let out a sigh of relief, and said meaningfully: "Whenever I see the barrenness here, I secretly make up my mind that I must let the people here live a happy life, but the reality is far more cruel than I imagined, fortunately, your appearance gave me the motivation to stay here, otherwise I would have packed up and left."

"No, it won't!" Xia Jian asked half-jokingly, in fact, he knew in his heart that it would be too difficult for people who were used to living in big cities to take root here.

A gust of wind blew, and the sky was full of dust.

Ouyang Hong looked at Xia Jian and said with a smile: "The change here depends on you."

"Let's work together!" Xia Jian also said with a smile. In fact, Lao Xiao has already read the report on the venture group's investment in rural development, and he is very satisfied, this is what Wang Lin called to tell Xia Jian, Xia Jian wanted to tell Ouyang Hong about it, but hesitated, and still didn't say it, he wanted to wait for everything to be a foregone conclusion, and it was not too late to say it.

The two of them talked and laughed, time passed quickly, Xia Jian suddenly felt that between him and Ouyang Hong, there was a feeling of falling in love, as soon as he thought of this, his heart fluttered, and people didn't dare to look at Ouyang Hong anymore, is this what it is like to be in love, Xia Jian scolded in his heart, this is too fucking uncomfortable.

When Xia Jian and Ouyang Hong returned to the town government compound, the village chiefs of more than a dozen villages had almost arrived, and Ouyang Hong said to Secretary Li: "Xiao Li, let everyone enter the conference room, let's have a meeting"

Xiao Li is a twenty-three or four-year-old girl with glasses, medium build, and a more sven look, according to Ouyang Hong, she has just graduated from college and has been assigned to work in Pingyang Town.

The conference room is two open rooms, there are a few tables in it, and there are long rows of chairs behind the tables, looking at the simple office equipment of the town government, Xia Jian secretly decided that he must make this place change, this is the face of the whole town.

Ouyang Hong beckoned Xia Jian to sit in the front row, he sat on the rostrum, Ouyang Hong whispered a few words to Xiao Li, Xiao Li counted the number of people one by one, and gave Ouyang Hong an OK gesture.

Ouyang Hong coughed dryly, making a few chattering people stop their voices, and then said: "I called everyone here in such a hurry today to tell you a good thing, that is, we want to harden the rural road from Xiping Village to Pingyang Town into a cement road."

As soon as Ouyang Hong's voice fell, the leaders of the villages began to discuss, of course, there was everything, some people said that it was unnecessary, they had been gone for so many years, and what was hardened, of course, there were also people who strongly agreed, Xia Jian sat at the front, did not speak, he had been listening.

Ouyang Hong patted the table lightly and said loudly: "Okay, I heard just now, someone said that there is no need to harden this road, who said it, please tell me your reasons"

"Mayor Ouyang, that's the case, you see our Zhangwan Village, there are only sixty or seventy households, and almost none of them come to this side, this road is less walked, besides, if the government pays for the road, we don't say a word, we must support it, but look at it like this is to let all of us get it ourselves, then forget it, our village can't get a penny" said a short and fat man who was less than forty years old.

Ouyang Hong sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Zhang Hai, the village chief of Zhangwan Village!" As the head of a village, how can he be so ideologically conscious? Did I just say that I want your village to pay for it? Who else doesn't want to harden this road, it's just nonsense, what do you say after so many years, according to you, we should live in a primitive society"

Ouyang Hong suddenly fluttered, and the venue was so quiet that the sound could be heard by a needle.

It is no wonder that the reason for the slow development of rural areas is that people's minds have not been emancipated, everything is thinking about the past, just as usual, and can not get rid of the old and innovate, so how to talk about development, Xia Jian only then understood that Guo Meili is not optimistic about the real reason for rural investment.

The village chief of Zhangwang Village is in his thirties, a capable, named Li Guiping, he is sitting next to Xia Jian, when he entered the house just now, they chatted with each other a few words, and saw him smile slightly and said: "Mayor Ouyang, what do you do, you just speak, we have more than 200 households in Zhangwang Village, and we will definitely not drag everyone back."

Zhangwang Village is also a large administrative village, just downstream of Xiping Village, about ten miles away, this time their village was also affected, but the situation is not very bad.

"Village Chief Li said well, I'll talk about the general plan, let's discuss it, this township road hardening, starting from Xiping Village, ending at Pingyang Town, about 15 kilometers, there are 16 administrative villages along the way, the general person in charge of this township road hardening is our Mr. Xia, he is now the village head of Xiping Village"

When Ouyang Hong said this, Xia Jian had to stand up and say hello to everyone, and immediately someone behind him said: "Being the village chief at such a young age, it seems that there is really no one in Xiping Village" If it were in normal times, Xia Jianjian would have a few theoretical words with him, but not today.

"What's wrong! I've heard someone say he's too young to be the village chief? Then I'll tell you, don't look at his age than any of you, but he is now the CEO of Buchuan Entrepreneurship Group, the post-disaster reconstruction of Xiping Village is his leader, there are people who are not convinced, you can go to Xiping Village now to see, where is the current village appearance, which of your villages can be compared" Ouyang Hong said more and more popular.

She habitually slapped the table again, and then said: "Xiping Village rebuilt in the second batch, he ran back a loan of 2.5 million, now Xiping Village, every household lives in new houses with red bricks and green tiles, the village cooperative has also been established, and more than ten acres of vegetable greenhouses will be put into production immediately, this is the way to get rich, you have to learn from him, not despise it"

"Mayor Ouyang, I have time to organize everyone to go to Xiping Village to study, I heard from the people in the village that the current Xiping Village is not the same as in the past," Li Guiping said, and he could see the yearning on his face.

Ouyang Hong nodded and said: "This is a must, I will talk about the work distribution of hardening the township road this time, Xiping Village is the general responsibility, all the expenses are paid by Xiping Village, and the rest of the villages, according to the population, labor force is provided, and sand and stones are provided."

As soon as Ouyang Hong's words were finished, everyone first whispered, as long as they don't let their village money, everything is easy to say, farmers have strength, don't they just do some work? Xia Jian knew this best.

Sure enough, Zhang Hai, who had been criticized just now, stood up with a big belly and said: "I agree with this, sand and stones, what Xichuan River has, that is, how much should our village have?" This has to be clarified because we are a small village, so it is a problem to get too much."

Ouyang Hong glanced at Xia Jian, meaning to ask for his opinion, Xia Jianma understood, he turned around and smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry!" Village Chief Zhang, how many materials are needed for the hardening of this road, when the road repair team arrives, I will ask them to calculate the total number of materials, and then divide it according to the number of heads in our sixteen villages."

"That's good, it's very fair," Zhang Hai said, and sat down.

Ouyang Hong smiled and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" If there is, put it forward, or I will pass it as a whole, and if any village can't complete the task, don't blame me for being polite."

Ouyang Hong said very resolutely, Xia Jian also saw the tough hand in her work, don't look at these rural people, ordinary people really can't lead, what's more, they are all the top figures in every village.

The meeting ended like this, Xia Jian looked outside and found that it was dark, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Ouyang Hong.

Ouyang Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all here, let's have a light meal together!" “

"What's delicious in Pingyang Town, it's so late, I'd better go back and eat what my mother made!" Xia Jian said, turned around and left.

Ouyang Hong stood in front of Xia Jian on one side, and said with a little displeasure: "Why don't you understand a little bit of fun, I'm a woman, please eat, you pick and choose, is there a person like you?" Besides, the fried noodles of the old Yang family in the east of the village are really good, and it is not good for you to change the taste."

This is indeed the case, after Ouyang Hong said this, Xia Jiancai felt that he was a little too much, he smiled and said, "I'll say hello to Fang Fang, let's go together."

In the night, an old street in Pingyang Town, under the faint light, is like a long-term sick old man, and there is a scene of defeat everywhere.
