The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 34 Dinner at the Village Committee IV

Wang Deshun: "Secretary Xiao, I support the construction of the road with both hands. When it is built into a concrete road, not only can you ride a bicycle, run a tram, or even push a chicken bus, you can walk faster... It takes us a day to go to the countryside. Hei. If the road is repaired here, you can come back in the middle of the morning. If you ride a bicycle, you can run back and forth several times a day. "

"Yes, yes, I just don't know how to fix this road. Is there any regulation?"

"It's not easy to let the villagers take the money."

This sentence is on point.

The lively conference room suddenly fell silent.

When it comes to money, no one dares to talk big.

When we talked about building the expressway before, everyone promised that we would never delay, so what?That's because the construction of expressways requires the occupation of villagers' fields or houses, and the state has to compensate them.

The roads leading to each village are repaired and paved with cement or asphalt on the basis of the original organic farming roads.

There will be no major changes to the roadbed, and it will not occupy the villagers' fields. Not only will there be no compensation, but it may also require the villagers to raise funds for apportionment or something.

The key to why the roads could not be repaired in the past few years was that there was no money.

The towns and villages are also poor, so they can only contribute part of the money.For other parts, the villagers had to raise their own funds, and the villagers couldn't get it out, so this road has never been completed.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

When Wang Jinfa saw it, he said quickly: "Isn't it a good thing to build roads? Why are everyone downcast?"

"We all know it's a good thing, but it's a bit difficult for us to take the money out.

If you can get the money, the road has been repaired a few years ago, and you still have to wait until now. "

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and the conversation seemed to be unable to go on.

Wang Jinfa glanced at Xiao Guangwei.

Not sure how to proceed.

This is the dilemma of being a rural cadre.

On one side are the prescribed tasks to be completed as explained by the above.

On one side are the villagers from the village.

They are really not rich.Some even tighten their belts to get by.Although the young people in the family have gone out to work, they can still earn a thousand dollars and come back.

But life outside is not so easy.

Some work outside the home all year round, and even the expenses of food and clothing, children's tuition fees, and medical treatment for the elderly can't leave a few savings.

Some even worked until the end of the year when the contractors owed their debts and did not pay wages.

Some of them not only did not earn any money, but also needed money from their families to bring them back.

Wang Jinfa, the village director, knows everything about every family in the village.

There are only a few families in the village who live a little better, and most of them are still struggling on the poverty line.

As long as they get the money out to build roads, that's really hard.

Xiao Guangwei broke the silence and said, "I know that this is a major issue that concerns everyone's vital interests, so I'll let you know in advance... How is the village road repaired..."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, some even clenched their hands nervously.

Xiao Guangwei said: "Hey, when it comes to money, everyone is nervous, let's take it easy."

"Secretary Xiao, you don't know that no one dares to say it's easy when it comes to money issues. I can't let go of this."

Xiao Guangwei: "Well, let me tell you that you don't need to pay for this road."

There was only a sound of breathing from below.

Xiao Guangwei: "Really. The Village-to-Village Highway Project, referred to as "Village-to-Village". It is a major measure of the country to build a harmonious society and support the construction of new countryside. It is a popular project. "Project, this project refers to China's efforts to realize asphalt or cement roads in all villages in five years, so as to break the traffic bottleneck of rural economic development and solve the travel problems of 5 million farmers. The project is mainly funded by the state and the province. Compulsory apportionment of part of the local finance (city and county) funds to farmers is absolutely not allowed.”

"What, Secretary Xiao, is what you said true?"

Xiao Guangwei: "It's not what I said, it's the state's policies and regulations, and if there are documents, it's clearly written in black and white."

Turning to Wang Jinfa, he said, "Director Wang, the spirit of these policy documents must be communicated in a timely manner in the future, and published in the village committee to be open and transparent."

"Okay, okay, Secretary Xiao. I wrote it down, Secretary Xiao, it will be different when you come, and I know what to do."

"You know what a fart. I used to tell you to study more and you were going to play with mud and beading beads. Now you can't even be a village director."

Principal Wang came in with a bowl of vegetables, and reprimanded Wang Jinfa unceremoniously.

If someone else dared to ridicule Wang Jinfa like this, Wang Jinfa would have jumped up to refute it.To this principal's cousin, Wang Jinfa did not dare to do anything wrong.

"Thanks to Secretary Xiao for coming to our village, you have to learn more from Secretary Xiao in the future."

"sure."

Principal Wang: "Oh, there are you old men, all of you are either my elders or my brothers. I'm not talking about you. It's okay, don't be bragging and writing manuscripts, or just sit at the card table Smoking and playing cards, it is better to go to the village committee to see and learn, to understand the situation...

The newspaper ordered by the village committee may not be read by many people, and it may have been wiped away by someone. "

Hahahahaha.

President Wang's words caused a roar of laughter.

It seemed he was on to something.

Following Li Jinfeng also came out with a pot of vegetables.

"The food is ready, can we have dinner?"

Xiao Guangwei said: "Yes, yes. The big guys may be starving. I will stop here for today. You should tell your family members when you go back, especially those young people who work outside. They should know the world. .

Come, Pharaoh, and fetch some bottles of good wine.I invite everyone to drink. "

Wang Jinfa: "Don't, just drink bulk wine. My small shop only uses these bottles of wine for appearance. It's not enough for them to drink between their teeth. When they get rid of poverty in the future, they can drink whatever good wine they want."

Principal Wang: "Right, let's drink bulk wine today."

In the kitchen, Zhu Xia was cooking fish, and she kept turning around the stove, not thinking about Li Ying for the time being, nor knowing what happened in the village committee ahead.

Boil vermicelli with cabbage, stew radish in bacon soup, stir-fry garlic sprouts with bacon, and stir-fry vegetables.

Several home-cooked dishes have become particularly delicious through her skillful cooking.

Even Li Jinfeng, who helped her, couldn't help picking up a chopstick and tasted it, and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhu. With the same ingredients, why can't what we make be called gourmet food? It's just pig food?"

Principal Wang said: "This is the difference between a gourmet and your rural mother-in-law."

The last big dish, fish with pickled cabbage

A smell of sauerkraut and fish filled the whole kitchen.

Yao Ma: "Big sister insists on not showing off her skills. I haven't eaten it yet, and my mouth is watering when I smell it."

"Mom, you can stop the fire."

Zhu Xia added green onions and celery, simmered for a while with embers, and the pot was ready to serve.

"Mr. Zhu, hurry up, hurry up...I'll be waiting for you."

Principal Wang helped put the dishes on the table and then came in to call Zhu Xia.
