Dongshan Township Party Committee Secretary Wen Shicai looks like an old farmer, wearing a blue-gray coat and an old blue hat on his head. His face is tanned and red. When he opens his mouth, he first sees two huge and Yellow buck teeth, and wrinkles all over his face when he smiles.
When the car stopped, Chen Shaoping quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door for County Magistrate Guo Yutang.
At present, Guo Yutang does not have a secretary. Chen Shaoping, the deputy director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, has returned to his old job as secretary to the county magistrate.
Dongshan Township Party Committee Secretary Wen Shicai hurriedly stepped forward, smiling with a frown on his face, showing two big buck teeth, and said with a serious and excited expression: "The Dongshan Township Party Committee and Government warmly welcome County Magistrate Guo to come for inspection!" He held out his hands to shake hands with Guo Yutang.
Guo Yutang nodded, Wen Shicai shook hands politely, and then shook hands with Huo Zhenhua.
Deputy County Magistrate You Hanlu stepped out of the car. She did not shake hands with Wen Shicai, but nodded slightly as a greeting.
With excitement on his face, Wen Shicai led County Magistrate Guo Yutang and his party into the township government conference room, where three large dining tables had been set up.
After everyone finished cooking, the hot mutton was served in a stainless steel basin. In addition to the hot mutton, there was also vegetable soup, cold cucumbers and fried potatoes.
There are no extra seasonings in the hot mutton, just a little ginger is put in to remove the fishy smell. It looks white and has no appetite at all.
In front of each person was a plate of mashed chili noodles made from hot peppers, which served as dipping sauce for the mutton.
County Magistrate Guo Yutang could barely manage to eat a few pieces of mutton, but Deputy County Magistrate You Hanlu couldn't, and couldn't even eat a bite.
The black goats that are purely free-range in the plateau mountains of Dongshan Township have excellent meat quality, but they also have a strong smell. In addition, the cooking method of Dongshan Township is just one pot stew, and there is no special way to remove the fishy smell.
Either You Hanlu doesn't like mutton, or she really can't stand the strong smell of mutton.
Mutton is the highest standard for hospitality in Dongshan Township. Deputy County Magistrate You Hanlu couldn't eat it, which embarrassed Dongshan Township Party Committee Secretary Wen Shicai and Township Chief Huo Zhenghua.
Fortunately, the fried potatoes and cold cucumbers on the table were very suitable to Deputy County Magistrate Hanlu's taste.
After lunch, County Magistrate Guo Yutang immediately heard the details of Dongshan Township. It was fine in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and it was warm. But at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather suddenly became weird and unpredictable, with a cold wind. It got louder and louder, and everyone was shivering with the cold.
It's already early April, but it still feels like winter here.
The poorest township in the entire Cangyang County is still poorer and the environment is worse than Guo Yutang imagined.
There are more than 13,000 people in the entire township, distributed among 87 natural villages. Among them, the most developed one, Mushu Village, where the township government is located, has a per capita annual income of only 3,375 yuan, while the poorest and backward Dashantou Village, The per capita annual income is only more than 1,300...
Moreover, these only exist in government statistics. The actual situation is that there is almost no so-called income throughout the year...
There is no so-called economic growth in the entire Dongshan Township!
Guo Yutang stood on the third floor of the township government. All he could see were low, dilapidated houses made of wooden boards. Occasionally he could see a few adobe houses, but there was almost no house with a brick-concrete structure.
In addition to the township government office building, there is Dongshan Township Junior High School next to it, as well as a two-story teacher office and dormitory building.
Such a place seems to still be stuck in the feudal society of the last century.
Guo Yutang originally planned to inspect several villages, but there was not enough time in one day. Everyone had to follow the 43-kilometer mountainous road from Dongshan Township to Renli Town before dark.
"Director Chen, congratulations. You have now returned to the county government, become a popular person next to County Magistrate Guo, and have even set up the Poverty Alleviation Office yourself!"
Taking advantage of his free time, Huo Zhenghua took the initiative to say hello to Chen Shaoping.
Chen Shaoping heard the thorn in Huo Zhenghua's words and immediately understood what was going on.
"Zhenghua, I personally arranged the selection of people in the Poverty Alleviation Office. This is the trust given to me by County Magistrate Guo. I didn't consider you at the beginning, but do you know why I didn't arrange for you to join the Poverty Alleviation Office later? ?”
Chen Shaoping said calmly.
"Why?" Huo Zhenghua stared at Chen Shaoping. He must get a convincing answer from Chen Shaoping.
When Huo Zhenghua was demoted to Dongshan Township to become the township head, Chen Shaoping once said to him personally, "In the future, everyone will help each other when they stand up!"
Now, less than two months have passed, and Chen Shaoping has turned around and become a popular figure in front of the new county magistrate. He has also personally established a poverty alleviation office directly led by the county magistrate!
However, Chen Shaoping was forgotten in Dongshan Township by Huo Zhenghua!
Today, Huo Zhenghua must hear an explanation.
"Zhenghua, the mission of the Poverty Alleviation Office is to do a good job in poverty alleviation, and the first front line of poverty alleviation is Dongshan Township where you are now!" Chen Shaoping said seriously.
"The Poverty Alleviation Office is not a place to enjoy blessings, but an office that is prepared to work in villages to help the poor. If you enter the Poverty Alleviation Office, you will most likely have to come to Dongshan Township to work in the villages to help the poor. It is better for you to stay in Dongshan Township directly. We can do even better work in the future!”
"Can these properties be the same?" Huo Zhenghua immediately retorted, "Even if you are stationed in the village for poverty alleviation, you are still staff of the county government's poverty alleviation office and are directly under the leadership of the county magistrate. As for me, I am still the unlucky one who was assigned to Dongshan Township. Egg!"
"Zhenghua, you are confused! Dongshan Township is a key township for poverty alleviation, and it is a township that the county chief is watching. If the poverty alleviation mission succeeds in Dongshan Township, won't your function as the township chief bear the brunt?" Chen Shaoping took a photo. Patted Huo Zhenghua on the shoulder and said.
Huo Zhenghua was stunned for a moment, and Chen Shaoping continued: "The Poverty Alleviation Office established by the county government is to assist various townships and departments in carrying out poverty alleviation work. You are the main force! When the time comes, we will cooperate to complete the poverty alleviation work in Dongshan Township. If you get good grades, will you still be assigned to be the township head?"
Huo Zhenghua thought about it carefully and seemed to understand.
"Director Chen, do you mean that I have greater development potential if I stay in Dongshan Township?" Huo Zhenghua asked.
Chen Shaoping nodded vigorously, "In the past, Dongshan Township was a place where people were assigned to jobs. Once poverty alleviation work is fully launched, Dongshan Township will be the first battlefield for poverty alleviation. County Magistrate Guo will definitely invest a lot of resources here to completely transform Dongshan Township and make it a success." A demonstration site for poverty alleviation! In my judgment, big leaders from the province and city are likely to visit here in the future..."
