Early the next morning, Pei Yunyan left the provincial capital with two girls, one of whom was Xiao Song, a clerk in the provincial department, and the other was Xiao Gao, a newcomer to the Higher Education Department.

The two girls didn't know where they were going, but they only heard that they were going down to do poverty alleviation research. The two who have lived in the city for a long time rarely go to remote mountainous areas, and they are still very much looking forward to it.

In the late autumn season, the mountains are no longer green, and there is less green shade on the roadside, but there is also a special charm, and the two girls are very excited to see it.

Pei Yunyan didn't have such interest, her mind was full of rumors and Zhao Linran.

When she came out this time, poverty alleviation research was one thing, but more importantly, she went to the place where Zhao Linran worked to understand his past in person, so as to investigate his behavior and character.

Due to her distracted mind, Pei Yunyan almost went the wrong way.

So the three of them took turns to drive, and at ten o'clock in the morning, they came to Baimo Town, Chongcheng County.

"Wow, that's beautiful, isn't it?"

Looking at the golden ginkgo trees on the side of the road and the fiery red maple leaves not far away, the two girls were amazed.

Pei Yunyan also didn't expect it, she only knew that this was an old area, and it should be very backward, and Zhao Linran had been the mayor of the town.

sighed all the way, until they entered the sheep intestine depression area, and the three of them were almost stunned.

Picturesque scenery, endless traffic of vehicles, smiling pedestrians.

"Pei Hall, is it poor here?" Xiao Song asked tentatively.

"I haven't been here either, I'll talk about it when I get to it." Pei Yunyan motioned for parking on the side of the road and asked the villagers about the village leaders.

Then, according to the instructions, the three of them drove to the village committee and happened to meet Director Niu who had just come out of the house.

Hearing that the three of them were from the Provincial Department of Education, Director Niu was very suspicious: "I didn't receive a notice from the town." ”

"Because it was just an education survey, and I was worried about disturbing the work in the town, I didn't contact him in advance." Pei Yunyan explained, and asked Xiao Song and Xiao Gao to show their documents.

Director Niu checked it carefully, and immediately became enthusiastic: "Three leaders, I'm really sorry, please bear with me, the main reason is that I am afraid of being deceived by scammers." ”

"Are there a lot of liars?"

"In the past few years, there were very few, the village was so poor that there was nothing to deceive. It's just that in the past two years, after the village has developed, there have been more tourists, and the number of scammers has also increased, and the names made up are bigger than the other. ”

"Was you poor before?"

"Very poor, very poor, eight mountains, one water and one field, few fields, low yield, and no other side business, every family is very poor. It wasn't until Mayor Zhao came and positioned the village as an ecological park that attracted huge investment that the village completely changed the face of poverty. ”

Mayor Zhao?

Hearing these three words, Pei Yunyan subconsciously wanted to ask, and hurriedly shut up.

Director Niu paused for a moment and immediately invited: "The three leaders came into the house for tea." ”

Pei Yunyan said: "We drank on the way." Let's go to the school first. ”

"Okay, let's go to the school first, and eat in the village committee cafeteria at noon." Director Niu should come down and walk towards the school with the three of them.

Since the village committee is located at the entrance of the village, they haven't seen the houses just now, and when they wait to go to the village, the three of them are all surprised: this house is also too good, catch up with the small villa, is it still rural?

However, there are also individual houses that are very dilapidated. Of course, the break is relative, and it is also a red brick house, but compared with the brand new "small villa", it is obviously far behind.

"Old cow, ...... at noon"

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman appeared, halfway through her words, and hurriedly changed her words, "You have guests, then wait until you have time." ”

Director Niu smiled "hehe" and pointed to the back of the woman leaving: "The three leaders are smiling, and the rural people have a loud voice." ”

"It's okay." Pei Yunyan responded politely, and her eyes also glanced at the house where the woman returned, which was very old, at least more than ten years.

After a while, they came to the school, and the three of them were surprised: the school was very beautiful, with a huge yard and a three-story building.

"Are there so many children in the village?" Pei Yunyan asked.

Director Niu said: "Before leaving office, Mayor Zhao deliberately emphasized that if you want to be rich for a long time, you must pay attention to education. Later, when the village had money, this school was built, and in addition to offices and classrooms, a good multi-purpose room was also set up, but not much was actually carried out, mainly teachers who lacked relevant skills. Secretary Su of the town also attaches great importance to this matter and is helping us solve it, but teachers with this skill prefer to go to big cities, so there is no way to carry it out. ”

At this moment, the principal came out, and when he heard that the provincial education department was coming, he was immediately very nervous. But then when he talked about the school, he immediately spoke fluently, his face was full of excitement, and he mentioned the word "Mayor Zhao" many times.

At noon, Director Niu wanted to leave three people for dinner, but Pei Yunyan insisted on refusing.

Ke Xiao, the executive deputy mayor of Baimo Town, rushed to leave the guests.

The luncheon was not luxurious, but it was absolutely sumptuous, with a large table full for eight people, focusing on local produce.

The owner's kindness was difficult, Pei Yunyan had to leave Xiao Gao to drive, she and Xiao Song both drank wine, it was a local wine, and the taste was very good.

Halfway through the wine, Ke Xiao took advantage of the wine and made a request: "Leader, you have also seen that there is a shortage of professional skills teachers in the village, and the whole town is lacking, please help the leaders solve some problems." The town held a special meeting to study, and all skilled teachers who can come to meet the requirements, whether they are in the staff or teaching, all enjoy normal salary, and the town will subsidize 3,000 yuan per month. ”

"I can try to get in touch." Pei Yunyan agreed to a limited extent.

"All professional skills teachers who have worked for the agreed years will also be awarded honorary townspeople of Baimo Town, and the honor level is related to the length of service." Ke Xiao said again.

"Honorary townspeople? Is there anything there? Xiao Song was very puzzled.

Ke Xiao said with a smile: "The plan was proposed by Secretary Su, and the idea was Director Zhao...... It was grown by the original Zhao Zhen. Director Zhao said that Bomo Town will be very famous in the future, and honoring the townspeople is definitely a great honor. We all believe in Director Zhao's words, it is he who has brought about great changes in Baimo Town, and what we didn't dare to think about three years ago has become a reality. ”

"We have seen great changes in Yangguwa Village, and the results are indeed remarkable, but I think common prosperity is more important, but there are still a few old houses in the village, such as the eldest sister with a loud voice I met today." Pei Yunyan asked.

Director Niu laughed "hehehe": "That loud-voiced woman is my wife, and the old house she went back to is my house, and the other old houses belong to several of their village committees." ”

Several others nodded: "It's our house." ”

Director Niu continued: "When I started eco-tourism, many people didn't understand or believe it, but I believed in Mayor Zhao. So I promised in public that if ecotourism could not develop, my family would not change to a new house for the rest of my life, and I would also change it with the most broken house in the village, and several of them followed suit. Later, when the village became richer, other families built new houses, and we were persuaded to rebuild them. But we felt that there was still a distance from the goal, so we insisted on staying in the original house, in fact, it was still very comfortable, after all, the facilities at home have been updated. ”

"You have mentioned Mayor Zhao all the time, at least twenty or thirty times, too exaggerated personal strength, right?" Xiao Song borrowed the meaning of wine, and was a little open-mouthed.

Ke Xiao said: "We didn't mean to mention it, but these things are indeed led by Mayor Zhao, and they can't be avoided at all." ”

"I don't believe it. You are his former subordinate, and you should have been promoted by him, so you naturally think of him well. Xiao Song's words were even more excessive.

Director Niu had a cold face: "Before Mayor Zhao came, I was the village director, and I still am." He didn't promote me, and I can assure you that we're telling the truth, without any exaggeration. ”

"What guarantees do you take? Do you want to be the village chief? Xiao Song's words were full of ridicule.

"What shall I take?"

Director Niu suddenly raised his voice, suddenly grabbed his shirt, and pulled off the buttons of his clothes with a "stab", revealing his entire chest, and there were several hideous scars on his chest.

"I take the honor guarantee of the veteran of the Southern Xinjiang Rotation."

Looking at the scene in front of them, the three of them were very shocked, and Xiao Song was immediately dumbfounded.

But Pei Yunyan still tried her best to save face for her subordinates: "Director Niu, it's too heavy to guarantee the honor of a veteran." Is it worth it? ”

Director Niu immediately said: "This leader, let me ask you, is it still important to tell the truth for the life-saving benefactor?" ”

A lifesaver? Pei Yunyan was a little confused for a while, and she didn't know how to answer correctly.

"Looking for a daughter-in-law, Mayor Zhao is looking for a daughter-in-law." At this moment, a muffled voice suddenly sounded, and a short and fat man rushed in and rushed straight to Xiao Gao.

"Ahh Xiao Gao screamed in fright, and the whole person hurriedly dodged.
