The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 24 Xiao Guangwei Returns to the Village

Xiao Guangwei drove his pickup truck, to be precise, the pickup truck on the station, to Taiping Township.

I wasted some time at the Baima Town power station before, mainly to see if the materials sent by the material company were in place.

Seeing that the supplies were in place, we made an appointment to deliver them to Taiping Township tomorrow. In addition, we got what Mr. Zhu needed, which was worth it. on the way.

The road from Baima Town to Taiping Township has been repaired.

I just don't know when the road from Taiping Township to Qingfeng Village will be repaired.

To get rich, build roads first. This is a classic saying. If the roads are smooth, it will also be a good help to the poverty alleviation work of Qingfeng Village, and can speed up the pace of poverty alleviation.

The only way to go out of Taiping Township to Qingfeng Village is to take the machine farming road. It has been raining for the past few days, and the machine farming road is also very bad. Just look at the little pickup truck that is beyond recognition.

It's enough to have a small pickup, at least you don't have to throw ham.

When he was first assigned to the substation in Baima Town, Xiao Guangwei had to go down to inspect the routes. Not to mention pickup trucks, he didn’t even have a bicycle. When he was in the army, he still had horses to ride, so he had to run all the routes in a town by himself. The two legs of the mountain climbed up and down, and the bicycle probably would shake and fall apart.

He and his colleagues walked from village to house in groups of two, and most of the time they walked through barren slopes and mountains.

Tired and thirsty from walking, I couldn't even find someone to drink.

Only by sticking to the place where there are villages can we get saliva.

Later, the conditions improved, and several motorcycles were equipped on the station.

Their linemen also changed their shotguns, and they could ride motorcycles. It was so cool at that time, and in today's words, it was cool.

But the higher hills are still the only way to climb up by yourself.

Later, there was a small pickup truck on the station, which is the standard equipment for emergency repairs.

It shows that the conditions are getting better and better, and the changes are getting bigger and bigger.

The small pickup truck I am driving now is about to be eliminated, otherwise it will not be my turn.

Not long after driving on Jigeng Road, I saw a woman waving at the gate of the farmyard on the roadside ahead.

At first glance, it was Teacher Zhu Xia.

Xiao Guangwei stopped the car, "Mr. Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Xia: "I had a meeting in the village and I'm about to go back to Qingfeng Village."

"You know I'm coming back today, why don't you wait for me in the countryside so that you can take my car back?

Zhu Xia said: "I don't know if you left or not? I didn't get through to you. It's so late, I thought you had gone back. I just stopped at this family's house and said I didn't see your car passing by. I was thinking: You must have not come yet, I am going to wait for your car while walking."

Xiao Guangwei took out his mobile phone and looked, oops, it's out of battery.

"Sorry, the phone is out of battery, Mr. Zhu, come up quickly."

Zhu Xia glanced at the things in the carriage and said, "Secretary Xiao, you've come back with a full load."

Xiao Guangwei: "No, your old classmates are too good."

Zhu Xia: "This...is all..."

Xiao Guangwei: "Yes, he also said that if there is a need, just speak up, and the old classmates should support their work, because the old classmates are participating in poverty alleviation work, and they are also honored."

"It seems that all of my old classmates are capable, and they are big families. You are the right one to find them."

Xiao Guangwei chuckled: "Get in the car, Mr. Zhu, let's talk about it later."

"okay."

Zhu Xia agreed and got on the co-pilot.

Xiao Guangwei: "If I don't come back today, don't you want to go until dark? Why don't you ask Officer Liu from the village to give you a ride on a motorcycle?"

Zhu Xia: "Don't be afraid. It's not like I haven't walked this way before. Forget it, don't bother others. I go and come here. It may be too late when Director Liu sends me back. Don't worry about problems that can be solved by yourself." Don't bother others."

Xiao Guangwei started the car and said, "Mr. Zhu, I really admire you."

Zhu Xia: "What's there to admire, isn't it just walking a little way? People who live here don't walk this way every day when they go out."

Xiao Guangwei: "Mr. Zhu, you only came to Qingfeng Village a month earlier than me. It seems that you already know this place very well, even more familiar than me, who has worked in rural areas for more than ten years."

Zhu Xia: "That's because you don't know me yet, because this is also my hometown. I have lived here for several years and studied in a village primary school for several years."

Xiao Guangwei was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Teacher Zhu to be from Qingfeng Village, too surprised."

Zhu Xia: "I transferred to Ningcheng later. I studied in Ningcheng in middle school. I would come back to live for a few days during the school's winter vacation and summer vacation. I didn't come back until I went to college. At that time, I participated in a lot of extracurricular activities. , plus I have been busy in the provincial capital after work, so I seldom come back.

The year before last, I had the honor to participate in an action jointly initiated by the Propaganda Department, the Education Committee, the TV station and the foundation, which means "be a burning candle, start a blaze of love with a tiny bit of light to help education in remote mountainous areas .” In just a few days, we went to several village schools, and we were deeply touched.I didn't expect the conditions there to be so poor. Children can play football for half a day with a mineral water bottle.They are so cute and need us so much.When most of us feel empty, bored, numb and impetuous in the bustling city, do we think of the longing and peaceful eyes of children?I've never felt so deeply and so close to them as I did then.When the event was over, the children bid farewell to us reluctantly, and chased our car for a long distance. I left in tears...

After I came back, I wrote an article to invite everyone to discuss how to change education in poverty-stricken areas. At that time, the response was quite large.

Later, with the in-depth implementation of poverty alleviation work, some places continued to get rid of poverty, and the local education industry also developed accordingly.

This is something that makes us happy.

Last year, the unit sent personnel to participate in poverty alleviation work. I saw Ningcheng in several places in the province. The changes in Ningcheng in these years have been quite large, and the economy has also developed rapidly. First, the train was opened, and then the high-speed rail. , shortening the distance from the provincial capital, I thought... But I didn't expect there to be such a poor place as Qingfeng Village, so I came here without hesitation.I am very happy to be able to return to my hometown to do something within my ability this time. "

Xiao Guangwei: "Mr. Zhu, you are more familiar with Qingfeng Village than I am. I will ask for your help in future work. You are a leader from the province and a person from Qingfeng Village. You must be more accurate than me in seeing problems."

Zhu Xia: "I'm more familiar with Qingfeng Village than you. Now, I'm still getting to know each other. Let's learn from each other and help each other."

Xiao Guangwei: "Okay. Teacher Zhu, can you tell us about Qingfeng Village in your impression?"

Zhu Xia: "Okay, anyway, there is still a long way to go, so let's go all the way."
