dream village

"You! You don't understand!" Zhang Tao flicked Yaqing's nose with his finger, and said, "The situation of these workers is really pitiful. They haven't been paid for seven or eight years, and their lives are worse than those of us. Farmers are still suffering. If they continue to stay in the remote mountains and old forests that are almost isolated from the world, food and clothing cannot be guaranteed at all. Naturally, it is a dead end. But going back to their hometown is also difficult. Some have stayed in the forest farm for half their lives. Many people don’t even have land, and their hometown doesn’t even have a shelter, how do you think they can survive?”

"These workers are emaciated and ragged, they are indeed pitiful." Yaqing nodded sympathetically.

Then she argued a little unconvinced, "But they can't take such an extreme method! Besides, this is just a legacy of previous governments. How can it be pushed to the current government?"

"Their way is extreme?" Zhang Tao became angry for no reason. He pushed Yaqing away, and raised his voice accusingly, "How can you say such a thing? Who forced them to take this step? Are they willing to make trouble? Are you willing to humblely kneel before the township government? They tear off their dignity just to beg for food and a way to survive."

He suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "They have been petitioning for more than ten years, but who has cared about them? Should they be honest and good citizens, dying of poverty, exhaustion, and death in the forest farm?" Death from illness or starvation? The government is the government of the people, and it exists to serve the people and solve problems. This is their duty and obligation. The previous government kicked the problem down, do you think the common people still have a way to live? What value and significance does this government still have?"

Yaqing was stunned again, what's wrong with this guy!How come the government has so much resentment?However, what he said seems to make sense!

She took the initiative to lean over and said timidly, "The township government also attaches great importance to this matter, and conducted a special research in the morning."

"Research? It's probably nothing!" Zhang Tao snorted coldly and interrupted Yaqing, saying, "Nanchong Forest Farm is a township enterprise with independent accounting, but in fact these officials are just selling trees in the forest farm. Come here to hug money, how can they usually have such kindness?"

"How can you be so paranoid?" Yaqing argued weakly.

Zhang Tao pulled Yaqing into his arms, looked down at her, and reprimanded her old-fashionedly, "It's not that I'm paranoid, but that you are too naive. Go and have a look when you have time. This forest farm has basically been destroyed, except for a barren mountain and wild forest. It is a young forest built with loans from the World Bank, and it can be said that there is not a single tree that can be felled. You said that the current government will spend money and effort to take care of this forest, so that I don’t know which government will benefit from it more than ten years later?”

"You're right about that. Almost all the cadres of the township government have this in mind. No one is willing to do this stupid thing of planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade." Yaqing also echoed.

"That's right! Now these officials don't have the consciousness of benefiting one side at all. What they seek is quick, easy and economical achievements and benefits. Those facades, image projects, or quick-resulting coal mines, factories and other enterprises are the only ones. It is their favorite."

After venting, Zhang Tao calmed down, and he asked again, "Is there any result from your meeting?"

"As you said, it is indeed impossible." Yaqing smiled, and said helplessly, "There are two main difficulties, one is the wages and resettlement of employees; the other is the later management and cultivation funds of the forest farm. The township government can't make ends meet. Where is the money to pour into this unfathomable hole?"

"Should we just let the forestry farm and its employees survive on their own?" Zhang Tao sneered.

"At the meeting, some people proposed to break the burden and contract out the forest farm. However, this involved some specific matters related to the property rights of the forest farm, which were not easy to handle, and this opinion was rejected on the spot. Some people proposed to hand over the forest farm to the surrounding villages. Reasonable. This opinion has been agreed by many people.”

"Yes! This is the fundamental way out for the forest farm!" Zhang Tao agreed with joy.

"In the end, everyone's opinions tended to hand over the forest farm to your village or Gaotang Village."

"What qualifications does Gaotang Village have?" Zhang Tao immediately objected, "The entire land of Nanchong Forest Farm was originally drawn from our village, and it is only natural that it is handed over to us now, and it is only convenient for us to manage it."

"This is a hot potato! Is your village willing to take it?" Yaqing asked.

"Of course I am willing!" Zhang Tao followed up and asked again, "Tell me quickly, do you have any conditions?"

"The specific conditions haven't been discussed yet. Secretary He came here today mainly to ask for opinions. However, I don't think the conditions will be too high. The township government is also very anxious to break the burden."

"You have to pay attention to this matter for me. You must hand over Nanchong to us." Zhang Tao said eagerly.

"Why should I help you?" Yaqing asked slyly, blinking her eyes.

Zhang Tao hugged Yaqing vigorously and said, "Because...because you are my parent officer and a cadre stationed in the village!"

"This reason doesn't count. I'm just a supporting role. The village head Zi is the real village cadre in your village."

Zhang Tao thought for a while, and said with a look of infinite longing: "Because I plan to build my dream villa in Nanchong, and then build a beautiful villa in the villa. Then..."

"Then what?" Yaqing asked anxiously.

"Then pick up the hostess and return to the villa, and live a carefree fairy life!"

"Mistress!" Yaqing pinched Zhang Tao's hand and asked, "Who?"

"Qing'er, are you willing?" A happy and bright smile appeared on Zhang Tao's face.

"Me!" Yaqing shouted without thinking, "I am willing!"

"Congratulations on becoming the first hostess of the villa!" Zhang Tao happily picked up Yaqing and spun her around.

"What?" Yaqing said in surprise, "First!"

Zhang Tao also realized that he had slipped the tongue, and hurriedly explained, "I must pick a guy to build such a grand dream project! Isn't there another hostess?"

"Yes!" Yaqing nodded in approval, "We want to build this villa into a world-class one, and I will be the biggest hostess!"

"That's good! Let's fight for our dream villa from now on!"

"Fight!" Yaqing said firmly.Of course she didn't take Zhang Tao's construction of the dream villa seriously, but what she was fighting for was only her love.

At this moment, she is enjoying the sweetness of this sudden love.She asked dreamily, "Tao, is this true?"

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Tao was also immersed in his dream.

"Tao, I love you!" Yaqing murmured.

"I love you too!" Zhang Tao responded.

He was about to take action and do what lovers should do, when Yaqing asked inappropriately, "What did Li Ming say to you last night? Did he run you away?"
