Huo Qianli thought for a moment and glanced at the camera in the corner. "Times are advancing, and the situation is different this year. Can we try our best to do better?"
Everyone followed his gaze and immediately understood his idea. Team leader Gu Chengde said, "Officer Huo, what do you think we should do?"
Huo Qianli pondered for a moment, "Just like the village chief said, it's nothing more than a few points, sanitation, appearance, and public security. In terms of village appearance, can we find a way to improve the situation of garbage being thrown everywhere? In terms of appearance, the town also held a meeting a few days ago to crack down on gambling. We Hushan villagers don't have much money to begin with, so we can have some small entertainment, but we don't need to curb the big-name gambling. In terms of public security, you all definitely have more say than me. I'll just make a suggestion, and we can discuss it in detail."
"Officer Huo, everything else is easy to deal with. You're catching gamblers, aren't you kidding?" Zhan Baoxing said, holding a cigarette in his mouth. "Whether you are in the village or working outside, everyone works hard all year long, and all they want is some fun. If you have money, we'll do it big. If you don't have money, we won't do it. Why would we care so much?"
Another village committee member also nodded and said, "Yes, who doesn't play cards during the New Year in the village? We don't have anything else to do here. We can't just hold our wives in bed and play with them every day!"
Everyone burst into laughter. The women's director spat and cursed, saying that a dog cannot spit out ivory, but since she had eaten and seen it, she didn't feel ashamed.
Gu Daqiang winked at Huo Qianli and said, "Let's not talk about the gambling issue for now. The police station knows how to find a solution. Let's talk about the garbage issue first. This is easy to solve and must be solved. It really doesn't look good to have garbage everywhere."
After discussing for a while, they came up with many solutions, but they found that this simple-sounding task was actually difficult to accomplish. Whether setting up a point or sending someone to collect the waste at the door, there was no effective and inexpensive way.
The most important thing is that everyone is used to just throwing it into the ground somewhere and calling it a day. If this concept is not changed, nothing will work.
With Huo Qianli's current prestige, in the end, none of the three points he raised could be discussed. Everyone just made arrangements according to the old division of labor from previous years and then went home.
After dinner, Gu Daqiang, Huo Qianli, Lao Tang, Hu Lao, and Gu Haitao sat at the door and smoked and chatted. Talking about today's events, Lao Tang chuckled and said, "When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette. The economic base determines the superstructure. Brother, don't you think about the economic base of these villagers now? You can't do these things. Habits are not so easy to change."
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "I'm not forcing you. I just mentioned it casually. If it can be done, it will be done. If it can't be done, we can take our time. But it will be done in the end."
Mr. Hu nodded in approval, "Rural development cannot just be about economic development, it is also necessary to improve rural customs and village appearance."
As the crowd chatted, a villager came running over and said, "Village head, Officer Huo, there's a fight!"
Gu Daqiang stood up at once, "Where is the fight?"
The villagers gasped, "Uncle Yong and his son are fighting!"
???
Uncle Yong’s son was working outside and just came back yesterday?
Gu Daqiang and Huo Qianli immediately stood up and ran out. Gu Daqiang said, "Do you know why?"
The villagers shook their heads and ran back, "I don't know, when I got there I saw Uncle Yong beating him!"
