In fact, it was not only Baldhead who was surprised, but also Miao Rou, who looked at her son in surprise and was overjoyed.
Lu Shengli frowned, glanced at the bald head, and said, "Chief leather worker, what are you doing?"
Pi Sanqing grinned widely, pointed at Miao Ju and said: "Sister Miao is a worker in our factory. I happened to see her after get off work and wanted to say hello. Is it Sister Miao?"
Seeing that he was telling lies with his eyes open, Miao Rou was about to open her mouth to explain but was pulled back by her son and said: "It's okay, Mayor Lu, go ahead and get busy. Let's have a drink and get together some other time after I finish my work. "
Seeing that Zhao Xiangdong didn't want to talk, Lu Shengli didn't ask any more questions, but it was by no means as simple as the greeting the foreman said.
So, he turned to look at Pi Sanqing and said with a straight face: "Foreman Pi, Mayor Zhao is my friend. Have we met today?"
Pi Sanqing smiled flatteringly, nodded and bowed: "Now we know each other, we know each other. If I had known that Sister Miao was Mayor Zhao's mother, I would have..."
Seeing that Pi Sanqing understood, Lu Shengli immediately interrupted him and said, "Let's go. Mayor Zhao and I still have something to talk about."
Pi Sanqing said with a playful smile: "Okay, Mayor Lu, Mayor Zhao, Sister Miao, goodbye, hehe."
After seeing Pi Sanqing leave, Lu Shengli turned to look at Zhao Xiangdong and smiled slightly, saying: "Hey, Mayor Zhao, I saw the news about your interview yesterday..."
Zhao Xiangdong and Lu Shengli chatted for a few words and then said goodbye to each other.
"Son, you can do it. When did you become the mayor and why didn't you say a word to your mother?"
Miao Rou got on the battery car and happily slapped her son on the back.
"Deputy, deputy, we just announced it last week. Didn't I want to give you a surprise?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled, feeling a little proud in his heart.
"The deputy is also the mayor! Oh my, my son has made a difference. Your old Zhao family is in trouble. It took five lifetimes for an official like you to appear."
Miao Rou happily praised her son.
"Haha, mom, don't worry, the section chief won't punish you again tomorrow, and he won't dare to deliberately find trouble with you again in the future."
Zhao Xiangdong said.
"I hope so. Hey, does Mayor Lu have a good relationship with you?"
Miao Rou combed her wind-blown hair and asked.
"We have a normal relationship as colleagues. Because we had dinner with him in the county, the main thing is that he and I can talk."
Zhao Xiangdong replied casually.
"Well, it would be great if you could be transferred to our Taoyuan Town in the future."
Miao Rou said happily, never expecting that her son would become the mayor so soon.
"Mom, in the past few months, I have often dreamed of my dad. Alas! Five years later, the suspect seems to have disappeared from the world."
Zhao Xiangdong felt uncomfortable thinking about the day his father had a car accident.
"Yeah! Thinking of your father being crushed by the suspect three times... Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. Thinking of this, my heart hurts."
Having said this, Miao Rou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed: "Tomorrow is your father's five-year anniversary. Let's buy some paper money at the intersection ahead."
The couple rode to the entrance of "Xiantao" village and saw Grandpa Guo squatting at the crossroads herding sheep.
"Grandpa Guo, it's getting dark, why don't you go home?"
Zhao Xiangdong slowed down and said hello to old man Guo who was herding sheep.
"Xiaodong... No, I have to call you Mayor Guo now. Haha, you are promising!"
Old Man Guo stood up, his cloudy eyes full of smiles.
"I think it's better for you to call me Xiaodongzi. Goodbye, Grandpa Guo."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled faintly and rode away.
"Xiao Dongzi, I heard that you have become the mayor?"
"This kid has a lot of potential."
"No, when I was young, I thought Xiao Dongzi looked like an official. Miao Rou has raised a good son."
"..."
When the neighbors standing at the intersection saw Zhao Xiangdong and Miao Rou, their eyes showed envy.
Miao Rou saw her neighbors gathering around her with envious eyes, and she suddenly felt a sense of pride in her heart. She hurriedly got out of the car and greeted her neighbors one by one: "Aunt Four, Uncle Zhuzhu..."
When they got home, Miao Rou asked her son with a puzzled look on her face, "How come the neighbors know that you are the mayor?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled slightly and said, "They must have seen the video of my interview on TV."
When her son arrived, Miao Rou changed her clothes and went to work in the kitchen.
At this moment, the village chief and village director walked in with smiles on their faces.
"Xiao Dongzi..."
""Hey, I should call you Mayor Zhao, haha. "
Zhao Xiangdong saw them and hurriedly greeted them and said, "Village chief, director, sit in the room."
The village chief smiled and said, "Don't sit down. You haven't eaten yet. Director Qiu just caught two wild rabbits on the mountain. Let's go to Director Qiu's house to try his cooking skills."
Director Qiu took the words and said: "Mayor Zhao, let's go, haha."
On weekdays, Zhao Xiangdong had little interaction with them, and sometimes they would not even say a word when they met. Today, they took the initiative to come to their home and invite him to dinner. They felt it was a bit abrupt, and they waved their hands repeatedly: "I'm not going, I'm not going, you guys." Go ahead."
Seeing Zhao Xiangdong's refusal, the village chief took a step forward and said, "Xiangdong, now that you are the mayor, don't you look down on your third uncle?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and said: "Third uncle, don't say that. Don't say that I am just a deputy mayor. I am the county magistrate. You are also my uncle."
Director Qiu stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xiangdong's hand and said: "Haha, isn't this the end? Xiangdong, we don't have any other intentions. We just feel that we rarely meet you. Today I heard from old man Guo that you are back. I'll call the village chief. Here we come. We just want to have a meal, drink and chat for a while, I’m not trying to bribe you, so let’s go.”
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and said, "Uncle Third, today..."
At this time, Miao Rou came out and said with a smile: "Dongzi, since your third uncle has come to invite you, you can go."
Zhao Xiangdong looked back at his mother. Thinking about it, if he refused to go, it would be a bit arrogant. Although he looked down on the two people's flattering faces, after all, they lived in the same village, so he still felt that it was good to be friendly and communicate with each other.
On Monday morning, Zhao Xiangdong came to the Transportation Bureau, but the director was not there. So he asked the office staff again, and the answer was that the director was in hospital and would have to wait for a few days for instructions.
After learning that the director lived in the internal medicine ward of the County People's Hospital, Zhao Xiangdong immediately bought gifts and went to the hospital to visit him. He got news from the director that the country had introduced a new policy and provided subsidies for the construction of rural roads.
Back in Liuhe Town, Zhao Xiangdong immediately logged in according to the website provided by the director of the Transportation Bureau and found out the amount of the subsidy:
The 2006 rural road construction policy and the national subsidy policy for rural road hardening are as follows: 1. 20,000 yuan/km for the creation of beautiful rural roads 2. 80,000 yuan/km for new cement concrete rural roads 3.5 meters wide and above 3. For existing rural roads The highway will be upgraded and widened to 4.5 meters wide at 130,000 yuan/km (widened to 4.5 meters) and 120,000 yuan/km (widened to 5.5 meters wide).
After finding the subsidy information, Zhao Xiangdong immediately printed it out and came to the office of Lu Feiyang, deputy director of the National People's Congress.
"Director Lu, look at this." Zhao Xiangdong came to Lu Feiyang's office, handed him the printed information, and said excitedly: "Great, the new national policy, this is a good policy to benefit rural areas!"
Lu Feiyang looked at the information and frowned, and said: "This new policy was introduced three years ago, and our county has already applied for it, and 8 million in road construction funds have also been allocated."
Zhao Xiangdong was stunned and said, "Then, what about the built road?"
