Chapter 66 Old Street Demolition 1

The next day, Wu Hao invited the officials who came to send gifts to congratulate him in Min Ning. In addition to the cadres from other counties and cities, Wu Hao symbolically collected 100 yuan, and all the others were returned by him. As for the red envelopes given by Zhou Dun's cadres, Wu Hao immediately returned them after returning to Zhou Dun on the third day. At the same time, he also invited the banquet at Zhou Dun that night, which also meant that Wu Hao's wedding ceremony officially ended.

After completing the biggest event in his life, Wu Hao re-entered his work. Due to the provincial party committee’s trip to Zhoudun, Zhoudun’s tourist attractions gradually began to gain some fame in the southeastern province, especially Zhoudun’s green and all-natural food, which attracted many guests. As the number of customers gradually increased, Zhoudun’s finance finally made its first income. Although the money was still small, at least it allowed Zhoudun people to see hope.

Time passed quickly, and tourists from Zhoudun traveled gradually changed from Southeast Province to surrounding provinces. With the increase of tourists, the deserted scene in the past was gradually replaced by a kind of excitement. Zhoudun’s specialty food even made tourists from all over the country want to eat again. At the same time, some Zhoudun merchants seized the opportunity to process and preserve the green food, and then sold it to tourists who came to Zhoudun for tourism, adding another income to the people of Zhoudun County.

In this situation, the Huangyan Hydropower Station in Zhoudun County finally began to store water and generate electricity after half a year of construction. The commissioning of the hydropower station means that Zhoudun County has officially begun to gradually get rid of the hat of a poor county. As time goes by, when the third hydropower station in Zhoudun County was successfully put into production and generate electricity, Wu Hao had been working in Zhoudun for three years.

Three years are not long, but short, but many things happened in these three years that made Wu Hao arrive happy and sad. First of all, Jiang Yu quietly resigned from Wu Hao's concealment not long after Wu Hao got married, and then left a letter to Wu Hao and left Zhou Dun. When Wu Hao heard the news, he quietly looked for Jiang Yu. However, because Jiang Yu's parents had a car accident, they were no longer alive, so Wu Hao could not find her at all. He called Jiang Yu's mobile phone but was always transferred to the voicemail. Wu Hao was afraid that Jiang Yu's mobile phone would be shut down, so he would almost save some money in Jiang Yu's mobile phone to use it as the last contact between himself and Jiang Yu. In the second half of Wu Hao's marriage with Shen Hanyan, Shen Hanyan became pregnant. Considering that his current situation is no longer suitable for being mayor.

So Shen Hanyan officially submitted a report to the Southeast Provincial Government for resigning from the position of mayor. In order to take care of Shen Hanyan, the Southeast Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government placed her organizational relationship in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, so that she could rest assured to raise her baby at home. However, because Wu Hao was really busy with work, and Wu's mother had to take care of Xiao Nianqian, Shen Hanyan was taken back to the capital to take care of her and gave birth to a girl in May of the following year. At that time, Wu Hao learned about Shen Hanyan's successful childbirth, and happily rushed to the capital immediately. At the same time, he told his parents about Shen Hanyan's childbirth on the phone. Although Wu's mother did not show a very happy look when she learned that Shen Hanyan had a girl, Wu Hao could clearly feel that she was a little disappointed from her mother's tone. After all, China's idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is quite serious.

At the same time, Zhoudun County has undergone tremendous changes in the entire county town, not only has the economy gradually grown, but people's lives have gradually improved. The scene of "sweet potatoes as food and grass, fire cages as cotton jackets" in the old society is gone forever. In the past, "bamboo strips are lighted as lamps", and now every village has roads. Looking back, when Wu Hao first came to Zhoudun, the per capita net income of farmers in Zhoudun County was only 1,600 yuan. Now the per capita income of farmers in the county has reached 8,000 yuan. In the whole three years, it has increased seven times. Urban and rural residents have built new houses more and more. The "old three pieces" (watches, bicycles, sewing machines) in the past are no longer surprising. Now the "new four pieces" (TV, washing machines, calculators, refrigerators) have begun to enter the families of urban and rural residents.

At the same time, with the development of economic construction and Wu Hao's attention, Zhoudun County's education, science and technology, culture, health and sports have also developed greatly. Zhoudun is located on the northern edge of Fujian and Ningxia. It has a sudden and backward culture. There are 2 complete middle schools, 8 junior high schools, 1 vocational middle schools and 1 primary school each, and 282 primary schools. Due to the low awareness of farmers before, many students have lost their school. However, with Wu Hao's strict control, three years later, Zhoudun rural primary school has achieved "nothing and having" (school schools have no dangerous houses, classrooms, and everyone has desks and chairs). The "four rates" of primary schools (enrollment rate, consolidation rate, graduation rate, and popularity rate) meet the second-class standards issued by the province.

As the finances became rich, Wu Hao began to think about the demolition of old streets while increasing the welfare of civil servants in the county. With the rapid development of Zhoudun County's economy, the old streets in Zhoudun County naturally became one of the reasons that hindered Zhoudun's rapid development. In the general environment of the market economy, demolition is often the most troublesome job for the government. Many times, the conflict between the government and the masses arose in such a working environment. For this reason, Wu Hao specially convened the top leaders of the county party committee, county government, and various relevant departments to the county party committee's small conference room to hold the first discussion meeting on the reconstruction of the old streets.

Wu Hao sat in the main seat of the conference room, looked at the cadres underground, and spoke, "Everyone! Today I called you all together mainly because there are two tasks that need to be discussed at the meeting. The first is the issue of establishing nursing homes in the suburbs. There are many elderly people in our county, and a large part of these elderly people are old revolutionaries. Back then, they sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for our country, which delayed their lifelong affairs. Now they are old and can't walk anymore, so we should help them and give them a peaceful old age. Now we will start to vote for this work first. Please raise your hand if you agree to this work." Wu Hao said here, first take the lead in raising his hands.

Wu Hao raised his hand, and the others raised his hand one after another. When Wu Hao saw that everyone raised his hands to express his approval, he immediately spoke, "Okay! The first work was approved unanimously. Now we will carry out the second work, which is the demolition and rebuilding of the old street in our county. Due to the long time in our county, many houses in the old street are currently in dilapidated states, and the houses there are wooden structures. In addition, once fire occurs in our hometown, it will definitely cause a fatal disaster. In the past, our finances were not rich and could only stare at them. But now that our finances are rich, we must first consider this work. Of course, demolition work has always been the work that local governments do the least, but out of responsibility to the masses, we must treat this work as a serious matter. Now everyone talks about their opinions, say whatever they have and speak freely!"

Because everyone knows Wu Hao's personality, after Wu Hao finished speaking, a "buzzing" discussion sounded in the conference room, and everyone whispered to each other about the work agenda that Wu Hao had just proposed.

After a long time, Wang Chengjiang first broke the noisy scene and said in a rigorous tone: "The old street has always been a time bomb in my heart. We don't know when this bomb will explode. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, Wu Ji proposed the plan for demolition of the old street, and I agreed with it. However, it is definitely not an easy task to demolish the old street smoothly. Because of the reasons left over from history, once we start this plan, many problems will follow us one after another, such as the resettlement of residents in the old street, the demolition compensation problem, etc. So I think we must not step on this minefield before we think of a proper solution."
