Lu Yiwei quickly ate a bun. It was indeed the taste of his childhood. It had been a long time since he tasted such delicious food. Compared to the so-called exotic delicacies, this was a real delicacy. He ordered another bun and held it in his mouth, feeling the sweetness in his heart.
"Secretary Lu, look! That's Mayor Huang's car!"
Lu Yiwei looked out the window and saw a dilapidated old Volkswagen Santana driving into the village and heading straight for the village.
"Where is he going?"
"I think he's going to look at the collapsed shed."
Lu Yiwei put on his shoes and said. "Let's go and take a look too."
He did not take a car and followed the village road to the north. From afar, he saw several collapsed sheds. The Volkswagen Santana was parked at the entrance of the shed. When he walked over, the driver recognized him and panicked. He wanted to report to the driver, but Huang Xiaolian shushed him and stood outside the shed to listen.
"Aiya, Jianguo, don't cry. It's not a big deal. I'm here to see you again. Don't worry, I've already spoken to the civil affairs department. They will compensate you later. I've also contacted the county's agriculture committee. They will arrange for someone to guide you in the afternoon. I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why did I sue you the other day? I asked you to light a fire in the shed, but you said it's a waste of coal.
Another man sniffled and said. "Mayor Huang, I'm not blaming you. I'm blaming myself. Last year, I invested more than 300,000 RMB in building the shed. All of it was loans and loans. I haven't seen a single cent of profit. How am I going to spend the new year? Sob sob sob … "
Huang Xiaonian consoled him. "Alright, you're a man. Why are you crying? I was the one who asked you to build the shed, so I'm partly responsible. The town government has no money. I'll pay you after I get my salary this month. "
"How can I take your money?"
"It's fine. I'm alone. Don't cry. Also, go back and coax your wife. Don't go to the county and sue me. It's not a big deal. I can solve it myself. Why bother the county leaders? Everyone is busy. Who cares about your trivial matters? "
"How do I coax her?"
Huang Xiaonian raised his voice. "F * ck, do you need me to teach you this? Just hug her properly at night, and she'll be obedient immediately. "
"Haha …"
Lu Yiwei, who was outside, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. The driver, who was standing at the entrance of the shed, looked at him anxiously from time to time, and then looked inside. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
"Alright, I have other things to do. The secretary will be here in a while, and I have to go and greet him. Don't run around, go back and eat quickly. If the secretary finds out, I won't be able to help you anymore. "
As he spoke, he walked out with his body hunched. The moment he raised his head, he saw Lu Yiwei and was instantly scared silly. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He quickly ran forward and stretched out his hand. "Secretary Lu, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were already here. My words just now were a little inappropriate. I'll definitely correct them in the future."
Lu Yiwei held his cold hand and looked at it carefully. He was as thin as in the photo, but his spirit was even more dispirited. Her long hair fell to one side irregularly and there were traces of a pillow on it. She didn't have time to shave her beard, and her face was ashen. Her eyes were dark, and it was obvious that she hadn't rested well for a few days.
Looking at her attire, the collar of her black shirt was worn until it was shiny, and the sweater she wore was already loose. The outermost brown leather jacket was wrinkled, and the cuffs were peeling off, revealing a patch of white. Her pants were covered in dust, and the leather shoes on her feet made it impossible to make out her original appearance. With her attire, she couldn't even be compared to a village leader, so it was impossible to associate her with a mayor.
Lu Yiwei had always believed that there were more good people in this world, but it was rare to see a Jiao Yulu cadre like Huang Xiaonian, who didn't care about her appearance and was wholeheartedly devoted to the people. But why wasn't such a person put in an important position, but kicked to a remote village instead? Lu Yiwei could more or less see the shadow of himself in Huang Xiaonian, but she didn't do it as well as he did.
Lu Yiwei clenched her fists tightly. They were like old friends at first sight, and he smiled. "You didn't sleep well last night?"
Huang Xiaonian was touched. "I slept for a while, but I couldn't sleep. Last night, I received a call from the County party committee's Office Director Xu, so I didn't dare to slack off and sent people to clear the snow on the roads. We can't let the people have any trouble traveling. "
It was just a few words, but they were filled with emotion. From taking the initiative to pay them, to solving the problems of the masses, Lu Yiwei was very shocked. He patted Grey on his shoulder and said, "Very good, very good."
Letting go of Lu Yiwei's hand, Huang Xiaonian quickly pushed the man forward and said, "Secretary Lu, this is Guo Jiajun, the deputy mayor of Myriad Dragon Mountain Town. He's in charge of agriculture, civil affairs, security, justice, and stability."
Lu Yiwei took a good look at Huang Xiaonian. This lad was very spirited, and his eyes were filled with vigor. Furthermore, he didn't have the slightest bit of timidity, nor did he panic. This kind of person could become someone great. "Your mother's name is Wang Cuizhen, right?"
Guo Jiajun was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "I just came out from your house and ate two steamed buns on the way, haha."
The others laughed as well. Guo Jiajun was in disbelief and said, "My mom's steamed buns are delicious, right? That's her specialty."
Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. Guo Jiajun was courageous, but he didn't have strong desires. Why did others bow and scrape when they saw him? It was all for promotion and wealth. He was neither servile nor overbearing, neither fawning nor flattering, which at least showed that he was an upright person. The type of leader produced the type of person, which was a stark contrast to Red Flag Village.
Turning to another man, Huang Xiaonian introduced, "This is Old Zhao, Zhao Hengsheng, an agriculture staff member."
Zhao Hengsheng was slightly older, so he did the opposite of Guo Jiajun. Overwhelmed by the favor, he shook his hand and said, "Secretary Lu, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to Myriad Dragon Mountain to inspect and guide the work. I … I …"
Before he could finish, he got stuck. Lu Yiwei didn't look down on him and encouraged him with his eyes. In the end, he didn't say it out loud, his face red with embarrassment.
Huang Xiaonian interrupted him and called the middle-aged man standing behind him forward, saying, "This is Li Jianguo, a capable person from the Li Family Village. Last year, he invested more than 300,000 to build more than 10 greenhouses, and this year, he plans to continue expanding and build another 20. "The year after next, he will work with several other farmers to complete the construction of 100 greenhouses. He plans to use five years to build the largest flower planting base in Nanzhou City and even the entire province."
Looking at Li Jianguo, who looked ordinary and short, Huang Xiaonian didn't expect him to be so capable. He said with interest, "Not a bad idea. Did you think of it yourself?"
