Chapter 164 County leaders are coming to Huaixi Village to inspect the work
Faced with the beauty throwing herself at him, Han Ergou smiled and hugged Shao Wenjing, scaring her so much that she turned pale.
"Let me go, you bastard."
Han Ergou was very obedient and let her go, but he did not forget to take advantage of her while doing so.
Shao Wenjing glared at him with annoyance and anger, raised her hand and wiped her face that had been touched by Han Ergou, then turned around and left in a panic.
Han Ergou looked at her fleeing back and chuckled. He sniffed the hand that had touched Shao Wenjing's face and muttered, "What a nice scent."
After he finished speaking, he looked around with a lewd look on his face, and seeing that no one noticed this scene, he walked forward happily.
Han Ergou didn't notice at all that there was a pair of vicious eyes in the corner watching his every move.
“…”
Spring planting is approaching quietly, the earth begins to warm up, and the ice and snow melt into water to nourish every inch of land. The rain makes the soil more fertile and provides sufficient nutrients for seeds to germinate.
With the arrival of spring sowing, the villagers of Huaixi Village began to get busy.
They shuttled through the fields, with laughter and chatter one after another, creating a lively scene.
Seeds are sown in the soil, carrying the hope of a good harvest.
As time goes by, the fields become full of vitality.
The green wheat seedlings sway gently in the breeze, and wild flowers bloom on the ground, adding a touch of brilliant color to the field.
The undulating mountains in the distance seem to be connected with the blue sky, forming a beautiful picture.
Cartloads of clay taken from two feet below the ground are piled up in the yard of the Nanshan Brick Factory. It takes about half a year of open-air sun exposure and snow, rain and frost erosion to decompose and loosen the interior. It is then manually crushed and sieved to leave only the fine, pure clay... before it can be fired into bricks.
Not only is the process cumbersome, but the first batch of bricks requires a lot of time.
Therefore, Zhou Yong found Secretary Zhang and through negotiation, he borrowed a batch of clay from other brick factories.
In early July, with the help of Secretary Zhang, the Huaixi Village Brick Factory officially went into production, and Zhou Yong was appointed as the factory director, fully responsible for the daily operations and management of the factory.
On the opening day of the brick factory, firecrackers were set off and drums and gongs were beating loudly. The faces of the onlookers were filled with extremely happy smiles, and many teenagers cheered.
In late August, the brigade vacated two office rooms and connected them together. Huaixi Village finally had a grocery store, which not only made it convenient for villagers to buy daily necessities, but also enriched their daily needs.
However, grocery stores are not full-category stores. Their business scope is mainly food, supplemented by daily necessities. If you want to buy large items or other items, you still need to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
To put it simply, a grocery store is a convenience store.
Although Huaixi Village is gradually prospering, Zhou Yong is not satisfied with it.
Because he has bigger plans, including providing electricity, improving the education system and solving the water problem.
He knows that education is the key to promoting social progress, so he plans to build a primary school, junior high school and high school in the village to provide high-quality educational resources.
At the same time, electricity is also essential, not just for lighting. Television programs can not only enrich everyone's lives, but also allow more people to have a new understanding of the outside world.
After Zhou Yong sorted out his unfinished goals, he suddenly realized that he still needed to work hard for a few more years if he wanted to live a life with a wife and children.
When his goals are achieved one by one, Zhou Yong will become an ordinary villager, cultivate a vegetable garden, spend more time with his family, go to the mountains to collect mountain products when he has nothing to do, and occasionally go hunting...
"Junior brother?"
When Xu Jianmin entered the office, he saw Zhou Yong sitting in front of his desk in a daze. He stared at his junior for a long time but failed to bring Zhou Yong back to his senses.
"Brother?"
Zhou Yong stared at Xu Jianmin who appeared in front of him in a daze for a few seconds, then he came to his senses and smiled.
Xu Jianmin put the black briefcase in his hand on the desk: "What are you thinking about so intently?"
Zhou Yong stood up and poured a glass of water for his senior brother: "Think about some work."
Xu Jianmin took the water Zhou Yong handed over and asked: "Are you having trouble at work?"
Zhou Yong sat back down and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, if I encounter difficulties at work, I will definitely ask you for help to solve the problem..."
Xu Jianmin chuckled, drank a sip of water, chatted with Zhou Yong for a few words, and then he explained his purpose.
Today, Huaixi Village has been marked as an advanced and model village by county leaders.
Therefore, in early September, the county leaders decided to lead all the commune secretaries of Qingmu County, including the village heads and production team leaders, to Huaixi Village to inspect work and visit and study.
Zhou Yong listened with a blank expression on his face and was very disgusted with the county leaders' inspection of his work.
When Huaixi Village was poor, why didn't any county leaders come to inspect the work?
Now that Huaixi Village has developed, everyone has to go to the grassroots to inspect work. What were they doing before?
"Junior brother?"
Zhou Yong came back to his senses and pursed his lips: "Brother, how many people will come? I can arrange the reception work..."
There were quite a lot of people coming, more than 120 of them, and the food expenses for one meal would cost a lot of money. Zhou Yong cursed in his heart.
"Brother, will the commune reimburse the food expenses?"
If the commune did not reimburse the food expenses, Zhou Yong would just treat them casually. If the food expenses were reimbursed, he would serve them good food and wine.
Xu Jianmin frowned: "The county leaders are coming to Huaixi Village to inspect our work. How is the commune going to reimburse you for your food expenses?"
Zhou Yong said, "Brother, there are more than 120 people. Can you calculate how much food expenses are needed for one meal? The team can't afford it..."
After listening to his junior's words, Xu Jianmin finally realized the financial pressure the food expenses would bring to the Huaixi Village Brigade.
If the meal is just simple food, it is not a big deal, but if it is a big meal with fish and meat, it will be a huge expense.
Moreover, leaders not only have to inspect the work, but also bring people to visit and learn. Even if they go back on the same day, they have to eat at least two meals.
Xu Jianmin thought for a while and said, "How about this? I'll go back and tell Secretary Zhang about the situation and see how to solve this problem..."
Zhou Yong grinned: "Thank you very much, Senior Brother."
Although the brigade was able to pay for the meal, Zhou Yong thought that they should cry poor if they had to, so as to avoid being noticed by the leaders and causing unrest in Huaixi Village.
"It's getting late, so I'll go back."
"Brother, come back after dinner."
Xu Jianmin is always in a hurry every time he comes, mainly because he has too much to do at work.
After Zhou Yong saw Xu Jianmin off, he asked a few people and found out that Li Baotian had gone to the medicinal materials experimental field.
This year, led by Zhou Yong, Huaixi Village opened up an experimental field dedicated to growing a variety of medicinal herbs.
If the medicinal herb planting experiment is successful, the development of Huaixi Village will enter a new level.
When Zhou Yong came over, Li Baotian, wearing a straw hat, was standing in the medicinal herb field with Accountant Sun, gesticulating and talking to each other.
"Why are you here?"
Li Baotian is very concerned about the medicinal materials experimental field and will come to check the progress of the medicinal materials growth whenever he has time.
Zhou Yong came here to convey that the county leaders were coming to inspect the work. Li Baotian and Accountant Sun were extremely excited to hear this. They were so happy that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and their breathing became heavier.
