Today's Pingyang Town can be said to be different from the past.

Even the town government has undergone tremendous changes. Two years ago, it was still a low tile house. A conference room with more than ten broken tables makes Xia Jian still remember it fresh.

The moment he pushed open the door of the conference room, Xia Jian immediately had a smile on his face. Rows of tables covered with green tablecloths were filled with teacups. The village chiefs of each village had already sat there, talking and laughing.

Deputy Mayor Zhao was sitting on the rostrum and was looking at some information. As soon as he saw Xia Jian and Ouyang Hong, he immediately stood up and greeted Ouyang Hong and Xia Jian to sit on the rostrum.

Maybe Ouyang Hong’s identity is different now. When she sat upwards, the bottom suddenly became silent. You should know that these old farmers generally have low cultural quality, so it would be really difficult for them to do this.

As soon as Xia Jian looked up, he saw Zhao Hong, Chen Haiping, He Sanwa and other familiar faces from Shuijing Village.

"Hello everyone! I'll be here in my busy schedule. I'm mainly discussing the future development of our Pingyang Town with you. Many people may know this. He is the general manager of the Entrepreneurship Group and is now the honorary mayor of our Pingyang Town, so he also has the right to lead the way." Mayor Zhao said, looking at Ouyang Hong beside him.

Ouyang Hong nodded and said, "Everyone has seen the development of Xiping Village and the Xiuxian Agriculture in our town, and now we have started to make a lot of money. Currently, President Xia has built a fruit base in five villages including Shuijing Village. This is a very good project. I wonder what you think. Today we can speak freely and let's discuss it together."

"Mayor Ouyang, our Xiahe Village also wants to grow apples, and we need Mr. Xia's investment," a man in his forties said loudly.

Deputy Mayor Zhao glanced at Ouyang Hong, and he smiled slightly and said, "Captain Sun, is this your personal idea or the idea of ​​the whole village? You have to make it clear and we will discuss it with President Xia again."

"Most of the land in our Xiahe Village belongs to half slopes. Personal research believes that it is most suitable for growing apples. Nowadays, crops cannot be kept up. Only by producing economic crops in the people can the whole village become rich," said Village Chief Sun with confidence.

Xia Jian is not unfamiliar with this village. He couldn't help but ask: "Planting apples is a good thing, but I want to ask, how to solve irrigation water? Because in addition to irrigation, apple trees also need to be used for the prevention and control of diseases and pests, which all require water."

"     The villagers and I have already thought about this. Xichuan River is not far from our village. We can use water pumps to pump water for irrigation, and we can also make artificial pools of livestock water in each orchard. This problem can be solved." Village Chief Sun was very informed. Xia Jian couldn't help but nodded.

Ouyang Hong and Deputy Mayor Zhao whispered a few words, and then asked Deputy Mayor Zhao's secretary to make detailed records.

The meeting was held in a very orderly manner throughout the afternoon. Because of the successful cases of Xiping Village, everyone was very interested in today's meeting. At the meeting, Xia Jian also made a speech to guide everyone to the road to wealth.

I originally planned to end the meeting from time to time, but it was held until after six o'clock in the evening. There were still many village heads in the village that were not yet on their turn to speak.

It was not easy to gather these people together. Later, at the request of Deputy Mayor Zhao and Ouyang Hong, Xia Jian accompanied them and continued this meeting until 8 o'clock in the evening.

When the meeting came out, there were already stars in the sky. Ouyang Hong said a little embarrassedly: "What do you do?"

"What else can I do? You can't go checking every day! I'm back to Xiping Village, and go to Shuijing Village tomorrow morning, so you can do it yourself!" Xia Jian said, and walked towards the parking place he parked.

Ouyang Hong followed up and said, "Don't worry! Let's go for dinner together. You go back after you finish, and I will stay here. Because I still have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I will definitely not be able to go to Shuijing Village."

Xia Jian was hesitating, and Zhao Hong walked in from the conference room. As soon as Xia Jian saw her, he waved to her. Zhao Hong walked over and asked with a smile: "Are you going back to Xiping Village? Or to the city?"

"Go back to Xiping Village, take my car!" Xia Jian said with a smile.

Zhao Hong shook her head and said, "No need, I rode my bike over by myself, you should go first!"

"What are you going to go? Let's go eat a bowl of noodles together, and then you can go as you like," Ouyang Hong said a little unhappy.

When Zhao Hong heard this, she laughed and said, "Okay! Mayor Ouyang treats me, of course I have to go there, there are not many opportunities like this." Zhao Hong said, gently pulling Xia Jian.

At this time, Deputy Mayor Zhao came over, and Xia Jian pulled him and the four of them went to the Lao Yang family noodle restaurant together. At this time, it was this season again, so not many people were having dinner.

They sat down at the innermost table, and a Nianhong waiter came out and he asked softly: "What are you eating?"

"A plate of cold beef tendon, four bowls of fried noodles, and then a bowl of noodles soup for everyone," Ouyang Hong said loudly.

Deputy Mayor Zhao glanced at the young man and asked, "Where is Old Yang?"

"Oh! He is feeling uncomfortable, so he rests for two days. Don't worry, you can definitely prepare the meal for you." The young man said, and turned around and left.

At this time, two middle-aged men in their fifties were sitting at the door. One of them said, "What kind of world is it? Is this just a robbery? My son went to get a marriage certificate, and your family still needs more than 100 yuan for books. What kind of pre-marital examinations are there, but in fact, I didn't do anything. After I finished, I gave two boxes of medicine. Do you think it's worth more than 100 yuan?"

"Oh! Don't complain, it's still like this all the time. These are obviously all in private pockets, without any evidence. What can you do to them? Unless your son's marriage is not remarried," another middle-aged man said angrily.

As soon as Xia Jian heard this, he deliberately looked at Ouyang Hong. Ouyang Hong turned his eyes to Deputy Mayor Zhao. Deputy Mayor Zhao said a little embarrassedly: "It has always been like this, I don't know who decided it."

"The New Year will be in more than a month. Starting from the new year, all these unreasonable charges will be cancelled. The Pingyang Town Government is not short of this money now. But you have to understand that we are secretly taking it away and we must not make any noise." Ouyang Hong said to Deputy Mayor Zhao in a low voice.

Xia Jian asked a little confused: "This is a good thing, why do you still do it secretly?"

"Hey! You don't know that the townships are very poor nowadays. Everyone knows that these charges do not meet the regulations, but out of helplessness, they can only charge one fee to make up for their daily expenses. If we cancel it explicitly, this will cause dissatisfaction among other townships, so we do it secretly," Ouyang Hong explained to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian then understood after hearing this. It turned out that there were such tricks here. It seemed that it was not easy for everyone. The key problem lies in that the local area was still too poor.

The fried noodles were served and the taste was as delicious as ever. The four of them quickly put down the bowl and finished the noodle soup.

After leaving the restaurant, Ouyang Hong smiled and said to Deputy Mayor Zhao: "If you want to know what the masses said and what they thought, come to such places more when you have time, for example, we will gain a lot tonight. Of course, if you look back, charges like this should be cancelled."

"That's right. Some of the people's actions towards you are really angry but not afraid to speak out. Just as Mayor Ouyang said, Pingyang Town is not short of this money now, so there is no need to collect it from the people anymore." Xia Jian said to Deputy Mayor Zhao in a serious tone.

Deputy Mayor Zhao nodded and said, "I will discuss it with Secretary Wang when I go back and cancel all the unreasonable charges." Several people said and arrived at the town government compound without realizing it.

Zhao Hong didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly said to Deputy Mayor Zhao: "My motorcycle is here for you, I'll take Mr. Xia's car back."

"This is the best. Our place is quite safe. Next to the gate is the police station. It would be great if the thief could steal it here. After twelve o'clock, the iron gate will be locked on time. You can go back with confidence!" Deputy Mayor Zhao said with a smile.

Xia Jian greeted Ouyang Hong and Deputy Mayor Zhao, then opened the car and got in. As soon as Zhao Hong got in, he started the car and ran away.

It was probably the beginning of the lunar calendar, so there was no moon, only stars in the sky. Daben ran to the country road retreating to Xiping Village. At this time, there was no one on the road.

Zhao Hong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a happy smile on her face, and she whispered: "How long are you going to stay here this time?"

"It's hard to say. There are new development projects in Qingshan County now, so I will stay for a longer time." Xia Jian drove the car and said to Zhao Hong in a low voice.

Zhao Hong said "Yes" and said, "Two days ago, my aunt came to me to talk about the matter between me and you. I couldn't refuse her kindness, so I told her about the inability to have children. My aunt burst into tears when she heard it. But I felt that this was nothing, and it didn't matter to me whether I got married or not."

"Don't worry, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. You should know who I am Xia Jian. Even if I get married to others, I will maintain this kind of relationship with you until you get old and die." Xia Jian said confidently.

Zhao Hong smiled and said, "It's rare that you have such kindness, but which woman would accept you doing this? So don't think about me, just get married if you have the right one! Auntie is really anxious."

"Hmph! This is the prerequisite for marrying me. If you can't accept it, then forget it. I will accompany you to be a bachelor for the rest of my life. But that's good, I'll be free. I'll be good to whoever I want to be good to you," Xia Jian said, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Hong pretended to be angry and cursed: "What a fickle radish, I wish all the beauties in the world belong to you."

The two of them were happily talking and laughing, and before they knew it, the car had arrived at the entrance of the village. Xia Jian found that Zhao Hong is much more open-minded than before, and this may be the training of life for people.

"Don't park the car here, just park at the gate of the village committee! I'll get off first, go back to warm the kang, you'll be here later. In fact, our aunt and Uncle Xia have already known about it." Zhao Hong finished speaking in a low voice, then opened the car door and jumped down.
