Chapter 90: Power is coming
"Yes, it's that Gao Jialin, who was admitted to Shanghai Pujiang University two years ago." Yu Liming answered immediately. The name Gao Jialin was known to everyone in Kuanzhou County, especially those of them in the system. Who could ignore such a talented person who sent so many leaders in?
"It's not easy for someone in our county to get into university. Now that we're here, let's go to his house for lunch. Xiao Li, remember to pay for the food later." Huang Zhicheng finally found the opportunity to say this.
According to regulations, cadres who go down to inspect and dine at ordinary people's homes must be paid for meals. If it were someone else, people might refuse the money after a few attempts, but when Huang Zhicheng went to Gao Jialin's home, he would definitely not leave any loopholes.
The top leader had said it, what else could Yu Limin say? He quickly gave directions to the driver, "Turn left at the next intersection. Then turn right. Do you see those new kilns in front? This is Gao Jialin's home. After he went to college, he earned money by writing books, so he built a few new kilns for his family. Now his family is the most prosperous place in the entire Yujiahe Township."
"Gao Jialin is quite filial." Huang Zhicheng kept this in mind. When he went to his house later, he would definitely talk more with Gao Jialin's parents to understand their needs and see if there was any way he could help. This would be better than just chatting with Gao Jialin.
"A car is coming. A car is coming. It's a small car."
When the car drove into Gaojia Village, the children were the first to get excited. They shouted loudly and ran along with the car. It was so rare to see a car in a country village. Even the smell of gasoline sounded so good.
The adults stood in front of the door, anxiously watching the car approach, wondering where the car came from and whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. "Is it some big leader? What is he doing in our village?"
As soon as the car arrived at Gao Jialin's house and hadn't parked yet, Yu Limin hurriedly opened the door and got out, "Jialin, is Jialin in the house?"
Gao Jialin came out of the house. "Are you there, Mayor Yu? Please come in and sit down."
"It's not just me. Today, Secretary Huang from the county came to inspect the preparations for the water conservancy construction in the township. It happened to be dinner time, so he wanted to come to your house for a meal. I hope I won't disturb you, okay?" Yu Liming asked kindly.
"What's the bother? Please come in. I'll ask my mother to cook two more dishes." Gao Jialin welcomed them in.
"I've heard of your name a long time ago. I passed by today and came to sit with you. Yes, you are indeed a handsome man." Huang Zhicheng came over to shake hands with a smile, without any airs of a boss. He also specifically reminded, "You don't need to cook too much. I will eat whatever your family usually eats today."
Gao Jialin just listened to this but didn't take it seriously. He quickly made tea for them, got some melon seeds, peanuts and red dates, then went to the kitchen and whispered to his mother to borrow some fresh meat from Gao Jiawang's house so that she could come back and cook some delicious dishes.
There is no electricity in Gaojia Village yet, so there is only bacon at home. If you want to eat fresh meat, you have to buy it now.
When he came out, he saw Huang Zhicheng looking at his home with great interest. "Your cave house is really nice. It would be great if the people in Kuanzhou County could all live in new caves like this."
"Secretary Huang, Mayor Yu, let me show you around." After showing the living room, Gao Jialin came to his room. In the inner room was the kang where he slept, and outside by the window was a new desk. On the desk were Gao Jialin's textbooks and various books and materials.
Huang Zhicheng saw the internal reference that he had just seen yesterday at a glance, and he became more certain, because according to the confidentiality level of this internal reference, an ordinary college student had no right to browse it. There was only one reason why Gao Jialin was able to get it, that is, he published an article on it and someone sent him a copy.
He walked to the desk, picked up Gao Jialin's notes and flipped through them, then took out a brand new copy of "Spring Breeze in Meilong Town". "I saw the introduction of this book in the newspaper a long time ago and have always wanted to buy it. Unfortunately, our Xinhua Bookstore in Kuanzhou has not yet received it."
"The publishing house has given me many sample books. If you like this one, I'll give it to you." Gao Jialin said as he picked up a few more books and handed them to Yu Liming and Huang Zhicheng's secretary. Since they had met each other, everyone must have one. If he didn't give one to anyone, he would offend that person.
"Okay, I won't be polite then." Huang Zhicheng opened the cover, pointed at the title page and said, "Please sign your name for me again. I want to keep this book well."
After Gao Jialin signed his name, Huang Zhicheng took the book and stuffed it into his briefcase. This book would be a keepsake in the future. When Gao Jialin became rich, he would let his children take it to visit him. Wouldn't that give him something to talk about? After walking around the house, four cold dishes were ready. Several people came to the living room and sat around the eight-immortal table. Several leaders, Gao's father and son, and several village cadres just filled the eight-immortal table.
The wine was also heated up, and everyone was ready to toast Huang Zhicheng with the first glass of wine, but he stopped them, "I have caused a lot of trouble for Brother Yude today, so this first glass of wine should be toasted to Brother Yude."
Everyone was chatting, eating and drinking, and Huang Zhicheng was very eloquent, and he quickly made everyone let go of their restraints and start talking and laughing.
After a few rounds of drinking, Huang Zhicheng felt that the atmosphere was about right, so he asked, "Brother Yude, is there anything going on at home that needs help from the county?"
"No, no, life is good now. I couldn't even imagine it a few years ago." Gao Yude shook his head repeatedly. He was very satisfied with his current life. The only thing he had to worry about now was Gao Jialin's marriage problem. But there was no rush for that as the child hadn't graduated yet.
"Hey, don't answer so quickly, think about it slowly." Yu Liming chimed in.
After asking several times, seeing that Gao Yude was still the same, Huang Zhicheng could only ask Gao Jialin, "Jialin, tell me."
"It's indeed fine at home, but I've always wanted to buy a tape recorder for the village primary school so that they can learn Mandarin. Children in our country are at a great disadvantage in Mandarin. Unfortunately, the village still has no electricity, so it won't be of any use even if I buy it." Gao Jialin took the opportunity to say.
The leaders have asked, so it would be a shame not to tell the story. If the village can have electricity, not only will the children in the school have better learning conditions, but families will also be able to use electrical appliances. Gao Jialin has long wanted to buy a TV and a washing machine for his family.
"This is an easy problem to solve." Huang Zhicheng smiled happily. It was worth his special trip. He finally paid off the favor. "The county is formulating a rural electrification plan for next year. I will go back and take a look. I will try to arrange Gaojia Village as early as possible."
He turned back and reminded, "Comrade Limin, if the people from the Power Bureau come here, you must cooperate well."
Gaojia Village was about to have electricity. The news spread like a whirlwind, and the whole village was in an uproar.
