Today's Binh Duong Town can be said to be a different town.

Even the town's government has changed dramatically, and two years ago, it was still a low-rise tiled house. A conference room with more than a dozen broken tables is still fresh in Xia Jian's memory.

The moment he pushed open the door of the conference room, Xia Jian's face immediately smiled. Rows of tables covered with green tablecloths were filled with teacups, and the village chiefs of each village were already sitting there, laughing and laughing one by one.

Deputy Mayor Zhao was sitting on the rostrum and was looking at some information, as soon as he saw Xia Jian and Ouyang Hong, he immediately stood up and beckoned Ouyang Hong and Xia Jian to sit on the rostrum.

It may be that Ouyang Hong's identity is different now, she sat on the top, and the bottom suddenly became silent, you must know that these old farmers generally have low cultural quality, and it is really difficult for them to be like this.

As soon as Xia Jian looked up, he saw Zhao Hong, as well as Chen Haiping from Shuijing Village, He Sanwa and several other familiar faces.

"Hello everyone! In the midst of your busy schedule, I have gathered you here mainly to discuss with you the future development of our Binh Duong Town. This may be known to many people, he is the general manager of the Venture Group, and now he is also the honorary mayor of our Pingyang Town, so he also has the right to lead to you," Mayor Zhao said, looking at Ouyang Hong beside him.

Ouyang Hong nodded and said, "Everyone has seen that the development of Xiping Village, as well as the leisure agriculture in our town, are now starting to make a lot of money." At present, Mr. Xia has built a fruit industry base in five villages including Shuijing Village, which is a very good project.

"Mayor Ouyang, we also want to grow apples in Xiahe Village, and we need Mr. Xia's investment," a man in his forties said loudly.

Deputy Mayor Zhao glanced at Ouyang Hong, he smiled slightly and said, "Village Chief Sun, is this your personal idea, or the thoughts of the entire village?" You have to make it clear, let's discuss it with Mr. Xia again."

"Most of the land in our Xiahe Village is semi-sloping, and personal research believes that it is the most suitable for growing apples. Now we can't catch up with planting crops, and only by developing cash crops can the whole village get rich," said Village Chief Sun with confidence.

Xia Jian was no stranger to this village, and he couldn't help asking: "It's a good thing to grow apples, but I want to ask, how to solve the problem of irrigation water?" Because in addition to irrigation, apple trees also need a lot of pesticides and pest control, which requires water."

"I and the people in the village have already thought about this, the Xichuan River is not far from our village, we can use the pump to pump water for irrigation, and we can also make artificial ponds in each orchard, so that the problem can be solved," said the village chief. Xia Jian couldn't help but nodded.

Ouyang Hong and Deputy Mayor Zhao whispered a few words, and then asked Deputy Mayor Zhao's secretary to make a detailed record.

Throughout the afternoon, the meeting was carried out in a very orderly manner, because there were successful cases in Xiping Village, so everyone was very interested in today's meeting. At the meeting, Xia Jian also made a speech to guide everyone to lean on the road to prosperity.

Originally, it was planned that the meeting would end from time to time, but it was held until about six o'clock in the evening, and the village chiefs of many villages were not able to take their turn to speak.

It was not easy to gather these people together, and later, at the request of Deputy Mayor Zhao and Ouyang Hong, Xia Jian accompanied the two of them and extended this meeting until eight o'clock in the evening.

When the meeting came out, the sky was already full of stars. Ouyang Hong was a little embarrassed and said, "What should you do?" “

"What else can I do? You can't go to check it out with the stars and the moon! I'm going back to Xiping Village, and I'll go to Shuijing Village tomorrow morning, so you can do it yourself! Xia Jian said, and walked towards the place where he parked.

Ouyang Hong chased after him in two steps and said, "Don't worry! Let's go to dinner together, and when you're done, you'll go back and I'll live here." Because I still have a meeting tomorrow morning, I definitely won't be able to go to Shuijing Village."

Xia Jian was hesitating, Zhao Hong walked in from the conference room, and as soon as Xia Jian saw her, he beckoned to her. Zhao Hong walked over, smiled slightly and asked, "Are you going back to Xiping Village?" Or go back to the city? “

"Go back to Xiping Village, you can take my car!" Xia Jian said with a smile.

Zhao Hong shook his head and said, "No need, I rode over by myself, you better go first!" “

"Let's go, let's go eat a bowl of noodles together, and then you can go as much as you like," Ouyang Hong said a little unhappily.

When Zhao Hong heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay! Mayor Ouyang has a treat, of course I'm going, there aren't many opportunities like this," Zhao Hong said, and gently pulled Xia Jian.

At this time, Deputy Mayor Zhao came over, Xia Jian pulled him, and the four of them went to Lao Yang's noodle restaurant together. At this time, it is the season again, so there are not many people who eat.

They sat down at one of the innermost tables, and a young waiter walked out, and he asked softly, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"A plate of cold beef tendon, four bowls of fried noodles, and a bowl of noodle soup for each person," Ouyang Hong said loudly.

Deputy Mayor Zhao glanced at the young man and asked, "What about the old Yang people?" ”

"Oh! He was not feeling well and rested for two days. Rest assured, the meal will be ready for you," said the young man, and turned to leave.

At this time, sitting at the door were two middle-aged people in their fifties, only to hear one of them say, "What kind of world? Is this simply a robbery? My son went to get a marriage certificate, your family still needs more than 100 yuan, what kind of premarital check, in fact, I didn't do anything, and I sent two boxes of medicine after I finished it, do you say it's worth more than 100 yuan? ”

"Oops! Don't complain, it's not always like this, these are obviously in private pockets, there is no evidence, what can you do with them? Unless your son's marriage is not married," another middle-aged man said angrily.

As soon as Xia Jian heard this, he deliberately glanced at Ouyang Hong, and Ouyang Hong set his eyes on Deputy Mayor Zhao. Deputy Mayor Zhao was a little embarrassed and said: "It's always been like this, I don't know who made it."

"It's just over a month before the New Year, and from the beginning of the new year, all these unreasonable charges will be abolished. The current Binh Duong town government is not short of this money. But you have to understand that we are secretly taking it down, and we must not bluff," Ouyang Hong said to Deputy Mayor Zhao in a low voice.

Xia Jian asked a little incomprehensibly: "This is a good thing, why do you have to do it secretly?"

"Hey! Don't you know, the current towns and villages are very poor, and everyone knows that these fees do not meet the regulations, but out of helplessness, they can only charge a fee to make up for their daily expenses. If we cancel it explicitly, it will cause dissatisfaction in other towns, so we will do it secretly," Ouyang Hong explained to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian understood when he heard this, it turned out that there was still this doorway. It seems that it is not easy for everyone, and the key problem is that the local area is still too poor.

The fried noodles were served, and the taste was as delicious as ever. The four of them quickly put down their bowls and finished their soup.

Out of the restaurant, Ouyang Hong smiled and said to Deputy Mayor Zhao: "If you want to know what the masses say and think, come to this kind of place more often when you have time, for example, tonight our harvest is not small." Of course, if you look back, similar charges should be abolished."

"That's right, the common people really dare to be angry and dare not speak out about some of your practices. Just like Mayor Ouyang said, there is no shortage of this money in Pingyang Town now, so there is no need to collect it from the people," Xia Jian said to Deputy Mayor Zhao in a serious tone.

Deputy Mayor Zhao nodded and said, "I'll discuss with Secretary Wang when I go back, and cancel all the unreasonable charges" Several people spoke, and before they knew it, they arrived at the town government compound.

Zhao Hong didn't know what to think, she suddenly said to Deputy Mayor Zhao: "My motorcycle is here for you, and I will go back in Mr. Xia's car."

"That's the best, we're quite safe here, next to the gate is the police station, thieves can steal here, that's okay, and then one to twelve o'clock, the big iron gate will be locked on time, you can rest assured to go back!" Deputy Mayor Zhao said with a smile.

Xia Jian said hello to Ouyang Hong and Deputy Mayor Zhao, then opened the car and got in, and as soon as Zhao Hong got into the car, he started the car and ran away.

It's probably the first day of the lunar calendar, so there is no moon, only a sky full of stars. Daben ran as much as he could on the country road retreating to Xiping Village. At this time, there was no one on the road.

Zhao Hong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a happy smile on her face, and she whispered: "How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" ”

"It's hard to say, there are new development projects in Qingshan County now, so I will stay longer," Xia Jian drove the car and whispered to Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong said "um" and said: "Two days ago, my aunt came to me to talk about the matter between me and you, and I couldn't refuse her kindness, so I told her that I couldn't have children, and my aunt burst into tears. But I don't think it's a big deal, and it doesn't matter to me if I get married or not."

"Don't worry, I will be good to you for the rest of my life, what kind of person am I, Xia Jian, you should know in your heart, even if I marry someone else, I will maintain this relationship with you until you are old and die" Xia Jian said with a swear.

Zhao Hong smiled and said, "It's rare that you have this kindness, but what woman will accept you doing this?" So don't think about me either, if there's a suitable one, tie it out! Auntie is really anxious."

"Humph! This is a prerequisite for marrying me, if you can't accept it, then forget it, I will accompany you to fight a bachelor for the rest of your life. But that's fine, how free, I can be good with whoever I want," Xia Jian said, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Hong pretended to be angry and scolded: "What a flowery carrot, I can't wait for all the beauties in the world to belong to you."

The two of them were talking and laughing happily, and before they knew it, the car had arrived at the entrance of the village. Xia Jian found that Zhao Hong is now much more open-minded than before, which may be the tempering of life for people.

"Don't park your car here, let's park at the gate of the village committee! I'll go down first, go back to the warm kang, you will come in a while, in fact, our relationship Aunt and Uncle Xia already know" Zhao Hong whispered, then pulled the car door and jumped down.

Xia Jian was stunned for a while, turned the car around, and drove to the gate of the village committee and stopped, this is the center of Xiping Village, which will be relatively safe.
