The motorcade slowly stopped in front of Zhou Yang and others. As the door opened, An Bangguo and others got out of the car one after another.
In addition to the big boss An Bangguo, Zhou Yang also saw many familiar faces in the crowd, including Kang Aihua, Huang Guoan, Wang Yongqing, Li Changqing, and his father-in-law Li Fengnian, etc.
In addition, Zhou Yang was surprised to see that his eldest brother's father-in-law Erdun also came.
He was the provincial organization minister, second only to Anbangguo in terms of position and rank. He didn't expect that what he had done would also alert him.
You must know that he didn't dare to disturb him when he invited someone a few days ago, and I don't know how he knew about it.
In addition to these familiar faces, there are also more accompanying staff. There are sixty or seventy people in this convoy, which is more than the number of people who came last year.
In addition, Zhou Yang also saw that some of the accompanying people were carrying heavy cameras, while others were holding cameras, and they were from the TV station.
These people started to get close to take photos as soon as they got out of the car, or they kept taking photos, appearing very active.
"Lao An, Uncle Erdun, and all the leaders, welcome to Babaoliang Village!"
An Bangguo looked at the crowd of people watching in the reading room and the row of more than a dozen steaming cauldrons at the entrance of the canteen, and immediately said with a smile: "You kid is really putting on a big fight!"
"Hahaha, after a year of hard work, it's time to make everyone happy..."
Erdun Hada also said: "You invited so many people, why didn't you call me? If Director An hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it!"
Zhou Yang hurriedly explained: "Isn't this because I'm afraid of disturbing you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a dozen young men walking outside the school.
I saw two of them in groups, each group carrying half of a big fat pig that had been cleaned, and some others carrying skinned mutton, walking toward the small canteen in a mighty manner.
Seeing this scene, not only Anbangguo, but everyone else was also shocked.
Obviously, these fattened pigs and whole sheep were prepared for the members who attended the meeting.
That a village is willing to entertain its members with these good things is enough to show their strength.
To be honest, such a arrogant approach cannot be said to be done by ordinary villages, even slightly inferior township communes.
"People say that your Babaoliang Village has changed a lot this year. I think it's a bit exaggerated. Now it seems that my situation is smaller, hahaha!" An Bangguo said with a smile.
"You're always joking!" Zhou Yang said.
An Bangguo smiled and said nothing, but he was still deeply shocked.
This is his third visit to Babaoliang Village. The last time was in June when Zhou Yang celebrated his child's full moon.
When I came here, there was a lot of construction going on in the village. Apart from the fact that the village was in a mess and the people were very busy, I didn't feel anything special.
But this time it was completely different. When he entered the village just now, he found that the village had changed greatly.
First of all, the road from the village to the county town is much smoother. Although it is still an ordinary gravel road, there are no potholes like other places. At least the car can run on this road.
Don't look at just this, most villages cannot do it.
Secondly, they found that there were a large number of brick buildings in the village, which was not very common in rural areas.
In this era when adobe and rammed earth were commonly used to build houses, buildings with red bricks and red tiles were particularly eye-catching.
Of course, what is more eye-catching are the red flags flying everywhere in the village.
Red flags are particularly common in Babaoliang Village. They are found in brigade headquarters, schools, medical offices, and educated youth spots.
Coupled with the machine-shaft houses, street lights and red slogans seen everywhere along the way, Babaoliang Village looks particularly unique.
If it were just these, that would be enough, but according to Li Fengnian who was accompanying him, he explained that those brick and tile buildings were all newly built by the village this year, including feed mills, pig farms, sheep farms, schools, etc. In order to build these facilities, the village invested a lot of money this year alone. The funds exceeded 70,000 yuan.
It is not easy for a village of four to five hundred people to earn 70,000 yuan a year, let alone spend so much money to build these facilities.
Therefore, An Bangguo and others were shocked before the official Pink Conference started.
.........
After a brief greeting, Zhou Yang invited all the leaders to the venue.
As soon as he entered the door, the venue quickly burst into warm applause that lasted for a long time.
The villagers are already familiar with An Bangguo, Kang Aihua and others. On the one hand, they have come to the village three times in less than two years, and they had dinner with them in the same house last time. The villagers We were particularly impressed by the couple.
On the other hand, there is a TV installed in the village, and An Bangguo, as the first deputy director of the province, is often on TV.
Every time they see him appear on TV, the villagers will have heated discussions.
So when I saw him coming in, I naturally welcomed him with warm applause.
Anbangguo also responded with applause, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became high!
The venue has been simply decorated. In addition to the podium above, there are three rows of tables and chairs below, which are all prepared for the leaders.
While the villagers applauded to welcome An Bangguo and others, Zhou Yang winked at Wang Ping, indicating that he could start.
Wang Ping understood and immediately asked Li Jianguo to go outside and fire the cannon.
And he came to the stage after An Bangguo and others took their seats and began to deliver the opening speech.
Soon, the sound of firecrackers outside started, and the crackling sound once again made people feel the festive atmosphere.
"Good morning, leaders and fellow villagers, welcome to our Babaoliang Village..."
Since he had experienced this kind of thing several times, and An Bangguo and others were old acquaintances, Wang Ping was not as nervous as before.
In addition, he was obviously prepared, so he finished his opening remarks smoothly, and even attracted An Bangguo and others to applaud him.
After the simple speech, the process of the commendation meeting officially entered!
There is nothing new in this process. It is still the same as last year. Almost every educated youth member who participated in labor was commended.
Even the teachers and students of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry School and the Provincial Medical College were not left behind, and they all received certificates and prizes.
Although certificates and prizes are not worth much, especially the prizes, the most expensive one is only a thermos bottle worth a few yuan, and most people only get a piece of soap or a towel.
But even so, every member of the educated youth who came to the stage to receive the commendation was particularly happy, while the people from other villages watching the ceremony behind them looked at them with envy.
The entire commendation meeting lasted for two hours, and it was not until after twelve o'clock that everyone was commended.
At this time, someone from the canteen was also sent to tell Zhou Yang and others that the food was ready and could be served at any time.
After receiving the notice, Zhou Yang immediately announced that the commendation meeting in Babaoliang Village was officially over. Everyone immediately went out to eat and the dividends were officially distributed in the afternoon.
After informing everyone, Zhou Yang invited An Bangguo and others to a large classroom on the right side of the venue.
This classroom was specially prepared by Zhou Yang for these leaders. There were seven or eight large round tables filled with bowls, chopsticks and teacups.
After everyone was seated, Liu Lu led a group of female educated youths to serve the food.
Today, the village prepared four dishes and one soup for everyone, including mutton stewed with radish, stewed vegetables, stir-fried cabbage with meat, cold vermicelli, and egg soup!
The staple food is fried cakes and steamed buns!
The dishes are not sumptuous, but they are filling.
The only regret is that there is no wine!
Indeed, it was not just the ordinary members of the educated youth who did not prepare wine for today's meal, but also An Bangguo and others.
On the one hand, the price of drinks is a bit expensive these days. Even the worst local soju costs 8 cents per pound, and you also need a drink ticket!
The slightly better ones cost more than one yuan per kilogram!
And there are so many people who can't afford it without four to five hundred kilograms of wine. They can buy three big fat pigs for so much money. It's not cost-effective.
It’s just expensive, but the most important thing is that the people in the village drink alcohol without restraint. Every time we have a banquet, there are people who get drunk and act crazy.
So in order to avoid causing trouble, Zhou Yang specifically told Wang Ping not to prepare wine for everyone.
Although there was no wine, everyone still enjoyed the meal.
After eating, the much-anticipated Babaoliang Village Dividend Meeting officially began.
However, when everyone returned to the venue again, they were shocked by the scene in front of them as soon as they entered...
.........
