Chapter 25: Research

A plate of peanuts, a plate of pork head, a large pot of steaming stewed dishes, and a bottle of bow wine, this makes a table of dishes.

Township Mayor Qian held two small stools in front of the small table and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Assistant Zhao, sit down! Don't feel shabby."

Zhao Changfeng said with a smile: "Citizen Qian, I love to eat stewed vegetables, especially when it was cold this day, I took two hot steamed buns and ate a large bowl of steamed stewed vegetables, and my whole body was warm. That feeling was really exciting (local dialect, comfortable, and refreshing)!"

Township Mayor Qian laughed and said, "Assistant Zhao likes it, if you like it, you will win!"

Zhao Changfeng took the initiative to take the wine bottle, unscrew the bottle cap, and poured the wine for the village head Qian. The village head Qian was going to grab it: "Assistant Zhao, I'll come, I'll do it today. You are a hero. I should pour you wine."

Zhao Changfeng stopped Township Chief Qian while pouring wine: "Secretary Qian, what kind of heroes are you? Without your leader, can I do what happened today? So, I should pour you wine!"

Township Mayor Qian felt comfortable and felt that it was not that appropriate anymore. It was not easy to meet a capable subordinate, and it was even more difficult to meet a capable subordinate who did not make any contribution. Comrade Xiao Zhao was indeed good, but unfortunately he was a cadre in the province and he had to go back to the province in the end.

When Zhao Changfeng filled the wine in his cup, Township Chief Qian raised his cup and said, "Assistant Zhao, I'll give it a toast. To be honest, I'm really convinced. How did you come up with such a tricky way to draw lots?"

Zhao Changfeng held the wine glass in both hands and touched the middle and lower part of the wine glass of Qian Township Guard with the mouth of the cup to show respect, saying, "Qian Township Guard, I respect you. This method is actually not uncommon. When I was in college, students often used such tricks when they held event lottery draws."

"Haha, you college students!" Township Chief Qian pointed Zhao Changfeng with his hands and smiled happily: "No wonder Chairman Mao often says that the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are!"

Zhao Changfeng accompanied Township Chief Qian to drink all the wine in the wine glass, and then took the wine glass of Township Chief Qian to add wine to Township Chief Qian.

Township Mayor Qian shook his head and said, "By the way, you can't deal with these poor and lower-middle peasants without such reactionary methods. By the way, Assistant Zhao, please learn from me about Director Li and bring Cui Jincheng to your room."

Zhao Changfeng also laughed and said, "Cometown Chief Qian, I won't learn it anymore, right? I'll be happy when I think of Cui Jincheng's fearless revolutionary image as if he were ready to die. Having said that, this scene is also thanks to Cui Jincheng's outstanding cooperation. Look at Cui Jincheng's performances. To be honest, our country's Hundred Flowers Awards and Golden Rooster Awards can't be played by the best movie actors!"

Township Mayor Qian sighed and said, "Assistant Zhao, it's a pity that Cui Jincheng is just born early and older. If he was only seventeen or eighteen years old now, we will send him to the Film Academy to train him. Maybe in the future, we can win our country an Olympic O award!"

Zhao Changfeng burst into laughter again, but he really didn't realize that the town chief Qian still had humorous cells.

In the following time, Township Mayor Qian did not arrange specific tasks for Zhao Changfeng. Zhao Changfeng was led by Xiao Wang in the office to conduct research in the following villages.

There are nine administrative villages in Liangyazi Township. Except for Qianjin Village and Qinglonggou Village, the other villages are far away from the township government. According to Xiao Wang of the Office, the poverty level of each village under Liangyazi Township is proportional to the distance from the township government. The farther away from the township government, the poorer the villages are.

In addition to Qianjin Village, it is Qinglonggou Village, the richest village in Liangyazi Township. Zhao Changfeng of Qianjin Village did not want to go there, so he chose to go to Qinglonggou Village.

After arriving at Qinglonggou Village, Xiao Wang led Zhao Changfeng to move the village and visited several families. Zhao Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad. The so-called richest village was nothing more than a meal mixed with coarse grains and fine grains in normal years. Although the village also had electricity, half of the families did not use electric lights because they were reluctant to pay the electricity bill and could not afford the initial installation fee of the meter for dozens of yuan. Even those families with electric lights rarely turned on the lights.

Zhao Changfeng asked Xiao Wang, electric lights can't cost much electricity. Since the villagers have installed electric lights, why don't they use them? Xiao Wang said that because the Liangyazi Township Shangao route is very long, the agricultural electricity bill is very high, and it costs 300 yuan at one point. How can the villagers be willing to use it?

At the home of Zhang Changyou, the party secretary of Qinglonggou Village, Zhao Changfeng met the only colorful 14-inch TV in Qinglonggou Village, Meile brand. Zhang Changyou proudly introduced to Zhao Changfeng that the imaging tube of his TV was produced in China according to Japanese standards.

As he said that, Zhang Changyou immediately unbuttoned the dust cover on the TV and turned on the TV for Zhao Changfeng to watch. To be honest, the effect is OK, if Zhao Changfeng didn't care about the snowflakes on the screen.

"The signal is not good, please change the other station!" Zhao Changfeng said.

Zhang Changyou immediately turned off the TV and said, "Assistant Zhao, stop watching it, I'll take it to other villagers' homes."

Xiao Wang smiled and said to Zhang Changyou: "No need, I'll just take Assistant Zhao to transfer."

After leaving Zhang Changyou's house, Xiao Wang told Zhao Changfeng that Zhang Changyou's TV could only receive two programs from two stations. The first set of programs can still be watched in sloppy, and the second set of programs is snowflakes all over the sky. The people in the TV series are always "about winter". As for other channels, they can't receive anything at all. So whenever there are guests at home, Zhang Changyou only watches the first set of programs.

After leaving Qinglonggou Village, Xiao Wang took Zhao Changfeng to other villages to see it. The more Zhao Changfeng looked, the more sad he felt. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there would be such a poor group of people living in China. If he had brought a camera to take pictures of the living conditions of these people and compared them with African refugees, Zhao Changfeng believed that apart from the different skin colors, these villagers would not have had much better life.

He visited three villages in a row, and the shocks brought to Zhao Changfeng by one more than the other. Later, Zhao Changfeng really didn't have the courage to go to Xiao Wang to see the poorest village.

Although Liangyazi Township is poor, the forest coverage rate is still relatively high. The vegetation on the mountain is well preserved, and lush secondary forests are everywhere. However, near these villages, some bare mountains will be exposed, with no grass growing on it, leaving traces of being washed by rain, which seems like a scar suddenly growing on a healthy scalp, making people look very uncomfortable.

So Zhao Changfeng asked Xiao Wang what was going on.

Xiao Wang explained to Zhao Changfeng that the area of ​​arable land in Liangyazi Township was too small, so the villagers tried to cut off trees and clear out land and plant grain on the hillsides. However, because the hillsides here are very steep, most of them are over 30 degrees. After the trees are not cut off, they cannot store soil. After a rain, the soil that has lost its protection of vegetation will be washed away, so only bare rocks are left, let alone crops, even weeds cannot grow.

Zhao Changfeng nodded and then realized.

The task assigned by Township Chief Qian to Xiao Wang was to accompany Zhao Changfeng to conduct research. On the fourth day, Xiao Wang saw that Zhao Changfeng didn’t want to go to the village below, so he told Zhao Changfeng that the scenery in Liangyazi Mountain was actually very good, and there were springs and waterfalls in many places. He could take Zhao Changfeng there to see the scenery and relax.

When Zhao Changfeng heard this, he saw that there was such a place in Liangyazi Township? It’s good to go inside to relax. So he followed Xiao Wang into the mountain.

Starting from the township government and walking up the rugged path. After walking for half an hour, Zhao Changfeng became hot all over and no longer felt the coldness of autumn in the deep mountains. He took off his down jacket and continued to move forward with Xiao Wang in his sweater. After walking about six or seven kilometers, he suddenly heard the sound of waves ahead. Zhao Changfeng was so familiar with this sound. The waterfall in Yuntai Mountain in his hometown was like this.

Sure enough, after turning a corner, a huge waterfall appeared in front of Zhao Changfeng. The waterfall was sixty or seventy meters high and more than 30 meters wide. It rushed down from the top of the mountain with a majestic momentum and fell into a blue blue pool at the foot of the mountain. A gust of mountain wind blew, and gusts of water mist floated over and hit Zhao Changfeng's face, which was cool and eliminated a lot of the heat that was running all the way. Zhao Changfeng suddenly felt refreshed and happy. He temporarily forgot the depression and depression brought by visiting poor villages for several days.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! I really didn't expect that there was such a beautiful world in Liangyazi's village." Zhao Changfeng praised loudly and asked Xiao Wang: "Xiao Wang, there must be many people who come here to see the scenery, right?"

Xiao Wang said: "Who will come from this remote countryside?"

Zhao Changfeng said, "The people from Liang Yazi's village."

Xiao Wang curled his lips and said, "Those old farmers wouldn't come to see this! In their words, this thing is not for food or drink. What's the use? Should we be hungry or hungry?"

Zhao Changfeng was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Wang said again: "Assistant Zhao, if you like to see it, there are many such scenery in Liangyazi Township. There are six or seven waterfalls in Guang. Today we are here now, and I will take you to another place to see it tomorrow."

Zhao Changfeng's heart moved, what? There are so many such beautiful scenery in Liangyazi Township?
