Chapter 92 The Dilemma of Nanshan Town

Wu Tianming was in his 40s, chatted with Xu Dong, and introduced several other people to him. Those young people were all employees of the town government, and Guozilian was the director of the Nanshan Town Police Station, named Chen Hua. .

Xu Dong also reported his family name, and they had known each other.

"Xiao Xu, your vegetables grow so well, can you promote them on a large scale?"

After chatting for a while, Wu Tianming changed the topic to work again.

As the mayor of Nanshan Town, the most important task on his shoulders is of course to lead the farmers in the eighteen villages of Nanshan Town out of poverty and become rich.

But for a remote place like Nanshan Town, this task is really too heavy.

So after hearing that Xu Dong was from Xiawan Village, Wu Tianming immediately became interested.

"It can't be promoted. My planting technology is only suitable for a small area, so I can't promote it!" The reason why Xu Dong can grow special-grade vegetables depends on the chaotic source water, so of course there is no way to promote it.

Wu Tianming sighed when he heard the words, with regret on his face, "That's such a pity, it's rare for our Nanshan Town to find a good farmer. If we can promote it, then our Nanshan Town has the hope of getting rid of the poverty hat."

"Mayor Wu, is our Nanshan Town really poor?" Xu Dong asked. He knew the situation in Xiawan Village, but he didn't know about the whole Nanshan Town.

"Very poor!"

Wu Tianming said with emotion: "Many families earn less than 2000 yuan a year. What can you do with this money, let alone marrying a wife, and even living is a problem."

Chen Hua said: "A few days ago I encountered an incident. There was a family surnamed Liu in Duanwang Village. Because the family was too poor, all three sons married into other families one after another. On the night when the third son married, they My father cried all night in his ancestral grave, and when he was found the next morning, he had committed suicide by drinking pesticide on the grave."

Wu Tianming nodded: "There are still many such examples, all because of poverty. If everyone has money in their pockets, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Xu Dong said puzzledly: "Our Nanshan Town is backed by Qinglong Mountain, and there is the Fairy River next to it. With such good natural resources, why not develop tourism?"

Chen Hua explained with a smile: "The Mayor Wu you mentioned has all been considered, and they often send people out to attract business and investment. They want to introduce funds to develop the tourism industry. Unfortunately, no one has been willing to come and invest."

"Yes, our Qinglong Mountain and Fairy River are very beautiful, not inferior to those famous scenic spots, but they are not famous, no one knows about them, and no one is willing to come to travel. Those big companies I don’t want to come, and the small company doesn’t have the strength to develop, so this matter has not been settled.” Wu Tianming said.

Xu Dong asked: "How much money is needed for tourism development? For example, Qinglong Mountain, how much money do you need to invest if you want to develop it into a tourist area?"

"We have estimated that at least [-] million will be needed in the initial stage! However, if you add promotional expenses, the investment will be a lot, and at least [-] million will be invested to see the effect. For this matter, Mayor Wu has personally run for the past two years I visited many places and participated in many promotion meetings, but the results were not very good. People saw that we are not well-known here, and they are not even interested in coming to see us." The speaker was a young staff member of the town government.

"Need to invest so much money?" Xu Dong was speechless, "No wonder those companies don't want to come and do development. If they lose money, they don't even have a place to cry."

Wu Tianming and the others all laughed, but there was a strong bitterness in their smiles.

After chatting with Wu Tianming for a while, the cell phone in Xu Dong's pocket suddenly rang, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a call from his old lady.

"It's over!" Only then did Xu Dong remember that he hadn't gone to the Little Sichuan Restaurant to meet the girl, so his old lady had no choice but to blame him.

"Xiao Xu, what happened?" Wu Tianming asked curiously.

"Just now I was only focused on sending you to the hospital, but forgot to go on a blind date, and ended up leaving the girl in a restaurant!" Xu Dong smiled wryly.

Wu Tianming, Chen Hua and others all burst into laughter. Xu Dong greeted them, ran out of the ward quickly, and connected the phone.

Sure enough, He Xiuzhen complained fiercely to him on the phone, saying that the girl had been waiting for him in the restaurant for half an hour, but he didn't even go, so angry that the girl's parents called and scolded the matchmaker. After a meal.

"Mom, I really can't blame me for this matter, I really have something to delay!" Xu Dong explained.

"I don't care what's up with you, anyway, you have to get along with this kiss!"

He Xiuzhen must have been so angry that she hung up the phone.

Xu Dong entered the ward with a sad face on his mobile phone, and made Wu Tianming and others laugh again.

After exchanging contact information with Wu Tianming and the others, Xu Dong hurriedly left and rushed to the Little Sichuan Restaurant, but he didn't even see the girl.

Obviously, the girl had already run away in anger.

Xu Dong couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. Anyway, he let others go today. It's really not a proper way to do this kind of thing.

After having a casual meal at the small restaurant, Xu Dong was about to go back to the village, but just as he got into the car, there was a sudden thunder above his head.

It's already autumn, I didn't expect there to be such a big thunder, it's too rare.

Looking out from the car window, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain heavily.He hurried to the village by car, but before he reached Xiawan Village, the downpour had already fallen.

A series of thunders exploded overhead one after another, and lightning kept streaking across the sky, illuminating the sky.

Xu Dong was worried that the vegetable field would be damaged by the heavy rain, so he galloped all the way back to Xiawan Village.

As a result, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Tian Zhigang running down the mountain with a group of people in the rain.

"Xiaodong, I have dug drainage ditches in the field, so it won't be flooded." Seeing Xiaodong's car, Tian Zhigang hurried over and said.

"Brother Zhigang, thank you, you are still thoughtful!"

Xu Dong heaved a sigh of relief. With Tian Zhigang's help these days, he really felt much more relaxed.

The rain came hard and lasted a long time.It started in the afternoon and lasted until the middle of the night before the rain gradually became smaller and stopped completely after dawn.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong went up the mountain to check the situation in the field.Fortunately, Tian Zhigang led people to dig the ditch in time yesterday, otherwise all the vegetable seedlings in the field would be flooded.

But even so, the vegetable seedlings were still washed up and down.

After working in the field for a long time, just as he was about to go down the mountain, the phone rang again in Xu Dong's pocket.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Ivy calling again.Raising his eyebrows, Xu Dong answered the phone and asked, "Miss Aiwei, what can I do for you?"

"Mr. Xu, we are going to enter the mountain tomorrow, is it convenient for you?"

"Going into the mountain tomorrow?" Xu Dong frowned and said, "It's only raining heavily, and the mountain road must be difficult to walk. I suggest you wait a few more days until the road is dry before going into the mountain."

"No need, we are all ready, as long as you don't mind, Mr. Xu, we can leave at any time."

Since Ai Wei is not afraid of suffering, Xu Dong naturally doesn't care, anyway, accompanying them into the mountain is just to avoid being forced by He Xiuzhen to go on a blind date.

"That's fine, you can just come here tomorrow."
