24 Something Happened (16)

Fang Damei and Qian Jun went to Songlintuo Village to deal with things.

Guo Rongrong pulled Zhang Jing from the elevator to room 2178. The two of them talked intimately again.

"Zhang Jing, there is Fang Damei to deal with the affairs over there, we can rest assured. It's my business, and I need your help. Guo Rongrong said. I heard that you are a Songlin Tuo. I think you came out of this village back then. So you know very well the people of this village. Our next step is to get into the role. You need to do your homework. Otherwise, if you rush in, this scene is likely to be repeated today. The Academy of Forestry is here to help the poor, and they are still so resistant. We are here to do business, and they will blackmail us. It is not enough to understand a few things. After entering the village, how to prevent those villains from falling for them and not causing trouble for Qi Dazhi. That's what I'm going to do. The main thing is that we have to gain a firm foothold in Songlintuo. You have to do your homework. We are not familiar with this place. It's all up to you to help introduce. Today, our two sisters have a good chat. ”

Zhang Jing said, "You can't blame us Songlin Tuo people. Because our place has been poor and backward for too long. Since we are a high altitude village. The surrounding villages have become wealthy. Only our village is still so poor. If you want to talk about poverty, in fact, life is much better than before. At least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Our older generation relied on the sky to eat, and we didn't eat the next meal. Compared to before, of course, I feel complacent. And because it's a high altitude. It is not easy for people in the village to come out, so they are not receptive to new things outside, which is also an important reason why we are struggling on the poverty line. ”

"The high altitude is one reason. As a direct result, there is less contact with the outside world. Closure is definitely not a no-no. The main cause of poverty comes from isolation. This is also understandable. The elderly are content and happy or self-sufficient. This is all understandable. And what about young people? Can young people endure such a situation? ”

Zhang Jing replied, "Many people recognized the situation here in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and they couldn't bear it. When you are younger, you will be admitted to school. When I was older, I went to work. Whether it's going to school or working part-time, I want to escape from this. Closed small mountain village. Of course, studious people are rare, like me and Qi Dazhi. Since the opening of the 40 years ago, it is true that dozens of young students have passed the exam. But no one returned home. Didn't use what they learned to build their hometown. Those who stick to their hometown are their parents, their wives and children. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are the current situation of the left-behind people. In a village of more than 2,000 people, there are still four or five hundred people left. What else is there besides the elderly, children, and left-behind women? ”

Guo Rongrong said, "People are the center of everything, and if there are no people in the village, there will be no life." It is also impossible to get out of poverty. The fact that a family of people who go out to work is lifted out of poverty does not mean that the whole village is lifted out of poverty. There are also many people who have given it outside, throwing their wives and children in the village. These left-behind women, left-behind children, have no outside income, and cut off contact with their relatives outside, then the women become widows, the children become orphans, and they are even poorer. This is also understandable. Who makes money out there? I would like to go back to that conservative, backward, and poor mountain village. These are some of the basic information I learned when I was helping people in other remote mountainous areas, and I don't know if this is the case here. ”

Zhang Jing said, "You're so right. There is also a slight difference between this and other places, that is, there is a family of rememberers. One of the larger families in this village is the Ma family. Ma Tiesuo, director of the village committee, is the representative of the family's interests. Why can he be the village chief? Just because there are now four or five hundred people in the village. There are more than 200 people in Lao Ma's family, accounting for the absolute majority. He was the only candidate to be put forward when the head of the village committee was auditioned. In order to complete this election, the township government did the work of the other two families. Only then did we gather three candidates and complete the election. This is how the village committee is elected in this way in the quadrennial elections. Isn't this child's play, you say? Can the people chosen in this way wholeheartedly represent the common people on the road to prosperity? He came out to be the head of the village committee, and the villagers instructed him to exercise his rights. But in order to complete the election work, the township leaders of the township government seemed to beg him. That's where I am at the grassroots level. Everyone is a little helpless! ”

Guo Rongrong said, "What about the party branch of this village? What about the party branch secretary? ”

Zhang Jing said, "There are not many party members in this village. The old branch secretary has been working for more than 30 years. In the early days of reform and opening up, the old branch secretary was in his prime, but he was also forty or fifty years old. Lead everyone to break the big pot of rice and engage in a joint production contract responsibility system. From not having enough to eat to solving the problem of food and clothing. Therefore, the WeChat of the old branch secretary in the village is particularly high. But living in a high-altitude village all year round, the old branch secretary has also changed many geriatric diseases. Running to the hospital twice in three days, where is there still energy. I'm going to do the work in the village. But no one else can be elected as the branch secretary. The work of an actual village depends on the director of such a village committee. Because he is young, Ma Tiesuo has the final say. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Then Qi Dazhi came over to serve as the first secretary of the village." The biggest resistance must come from the horse iron lock. ”

Zhang Jing said, "This person is really interesting. Pleasant on the surface. He himself is about the same age as me and Qi Dazhi. It should be said that we grew up together. It turned out that his father was the head of the village committee of this village. Eight years ago, when he was in his early 20s, he took his father's class. I was elected head of the village committee. If you do it, you will be re-elected. This is already his third term. Who said that he is not yet 30 years old, and he can be regarded as an old cadre in the countryside? He is not only young and energetic. He also knows how to be sophisticated. Many people in their old Ma family looked at his face and did things. He also surrounded many people from top to bottom, and many people spoke for him. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Then I understand, Qi Dazhi must have worked very hard." ”

Zhang Jing said, "On the surface, you can't see that he is the biggest resistance. And his statements are very resolute, and his words are sonorous and powerful. He doesn't show up for anything. How many people in their family have come forward? On the one hand, they should protect the interests of their old Ma family, and on the other hand, they should take advantage of the village collective. He still speaks in a high-sounding manner, but he is bound to be biased towards the people of his own family. The secret was already open in the village. No one can change that. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Then I want to change this situation." ”

Zhang Jing said, "What do you do to change it?" ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Interests. Farmers are the most affordable. We treat people from his family as well as people from other families. We pay all the people we recruit. We rent all the houses for rent. I don't believe that he can stand in the way of us in front of the other side. ”

Zhang Jing said, "But if he knows that you are here through Fang Damei's relationship, he will know that it has something to do with me and Qi Dazhi." He's going to find a way to put up obstacles. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "So what Fang Damei said is very right, we don't go through your relationship." We found a way to establish contact with Ma Tiesuo and go in and do business through his connections. Let him not only not put obstacles in our way, but also give us the green light. ”

Zhang Jing said, "You are chatting with me today, is it because you are looking for this key to open the horse iron lock?" ”

Guo Rongrong said, "This metaphor is really vivid. ”

Zhang Jing said, "However, I want to remind you. You establish contact with him and enter the village with his relationship. will be ostracized by other families. This is the family power in the real village. This reality you have to admit. Therefore, you have to rely on his relationship to get in, but you can't get very close to him. This requires an artistic grasp. Guo Dong, I see that you have been in business for so many years, and you must be a master in this regard. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "I hope so." Another thing I want to know is what is the total population of the village? What is the current resident population? How many houses are empty. What kind of empty houses can we use to build a homestay? ”

"The total population of the village should be 2,700. It currently has a permanent population of less than 500 people. There should be more than 1,400 households. At present, there should be no less than 700~800 empty nest houses. If you want to make a homestay, there may not be a few pieces. interspersed. There are still a lot of resources. Some houses were built over many years. No one has ever lived in it. It's all those who work outside, earn money outside, and go home to repair their houses. The family went out to work again. Because the quality of life in the village is so poor, I have to go out. If you haven't gone out to work, you don't know what it's like outside, so you'll be here and there. Anyone who has worked outside has enjoyed the outside life. It won't be here, or it will be here for a long time. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Is there a person who is particularly popular? ”

Zhang Jing said, "Qi Dazhi's father, Qi Laoshuo, is one, I guess you can't use this person." Qi Dazhi won't let his father follow you to do this. Except for him, there is basically no one in the younger generation. If you want to say that you can talk about things, Ma Tiesuo's fourth aunt is a character. She is not only very popular in the Ma family, but also in other neighbors who evaluate him as a warm-hearted person. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Is this person educated? ”

Zhang Jing said, "This person is forty-five or sixteen. Should be a junior high school student. I don't know how much knowledge has been returned to the teacher, and how much is left for himself? ”

Guo Rongrong said, "As long as you have a cultural foundation." ”

Zhang Jing said, "Then he's fine." ”

"This is the right person. He will come forward, and we will have another manager in charge of operations. Isn't that a great match? ”

Zhang Jing said, "You're already in the role now. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "No, no, Fang Damei is in a hurry." ”

Zhang Jing said, "You have a really good relationship with our husband. ”

Guo Rongrong said, "People's hearts change people's hearts." ”

Zhang Jing said, "Sisters can treat each other so honestly, I really envy you." ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Because he has done things in front, we have to defend him." ”

Zhang Jing said, "Let you say that." I admire our husband even more. ”

The two of them were talking lively, and Zhang Jing's phone rang.

Zhang Jing said to Guo Rongrong, "I'm sorry, sister, I'll answer the phone first." ”

Xiao Yun's eager voice came from the phone, "Xiao Jing, come back quickly." Xiaojie and I can't stop either of us. I don't know what Ma Tiesuo said to Qi Dazhi on the phone. Qi Dazhi had to go back to the village. What do you say? ”

Zhang Jing said into the phone, "You wait, I'll go back immediately, don't stop him first." ”

After speaking, Zhang Jing hung up the phone.

Guo Rongrong asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Jing said, "Something happened, Qi Dazhi had to go back to the village." ”

Guo Rongrong said, "Why did something happen again?" ”
