3. Examiner

In the office of Tian Yongsheng, secretary of the town party committee.

Tian Yongsheng and Li Minqiang sat face to face on the sofa in the office, and they talked as if they were having a normal conversation.

Tian Yongsheng smiled and asked, "Has your partner's matter been settled?"

"Well, I can't help it if people don't want it. Marriage is independent."

"You're not young anymore, it's time to consider this matter. If you're not worried, your parents are still worried. I heard that the old man has prepared a house for your wedding?"

"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work. Getting married is not something to be rushed. Dates will naturally turn red in season. Just let nature take its course."

Tian Yongsheng said with a smile: "You work like a dragon, but when you talk about personal matters, you turn into a worm. Personal problems are also very important. If you solve personal problems, you will solve your worries. If you don't have worries, you can work at work."

Do you want to let go and do something big?" Then he changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about something else. What do you think of the current situation in your village?"

"I just came back and I don't know much about some of the situation, so I can't tell you anything."

Tian Yongsheng stood up and poured a glass of water for Min Qiang and said, "Whatever you have to say, just chat."

Li Minqiang took the water cup and said: "What I said may not be comprehensive, nor may it be correct. Some changes have taken place in the village in the past few years since I served as a soldier, but in chatting with the villagers, I found that they have both concerns about the development of our village.

Satisfied and dissatisfied.”

"How do you say this?"

Tian Yongsheng listened attentively.

"What they are satisfied with is that the village is constantly developing. What they are dissatisfied about is that our village is not developing as fast as other villages. It has not yet lifted out of poverty. Some people's families are still living in difficulty. Many young people cannot find wives because they are poor.

Cadres are still unable to solve some practical problems for everyone in time."

"Be specific."

"For example, we picked a lot of fruit produced in the village but couldn't sell it. Many of them rotted under the trees, which made everyone feel distressed. Fruit, grain, and cotton were basically purchased by middlemen, and these middlemen made the devil weigh them down.

The low price has caused the villagers to suffer a lot."

Tian Yongsheng said: "It is indeed a problem for farmers to sell grain, cotton and fruits. What do you think your village needs to do? Of course it is a big deal."

Li Minqiang thought that some of his ideas may not be consistent with reality, so he said: "I haven't thought about it very well."

"It's normal that you haven't thought about it. You don't seek to govern yourself if you are not in your position. Let's change the angle and treat you as a bystander. Let me ask you, have you ever thought about how the economy of your village will develop? No one knows better than your hometown.

Man, although you have been away from your village for a few years, you have grown up in the land of Shagang Village since you were a child, and you should be familiar with the basic situation of Shagang Village. And you are a person who is good at thinking about problems."

Li Minqiang pondered for a while and said: "After listening to the words of the old man Yang Shulin in our village, and discussing with some people, I came up with some ideas: the soil quality in our village is not good, and most of it is sandy soil. Can it be transformed?

If it doesn’t rain, can we dig more deep wells to irrigate groundwater? Can we process agricultural products, especially fruit processing, to solve the problem of farmers selling fruits? Can we set up a factory to allow people who work outside to come back to work? How?

It can improve the mechanization of agricultural production and reduce the labor intensity of villagers... Of course, these problems cannot be solved immediately and must be done step by step. These ideas of mine may be unrealistic and unrealistic."

Tian Yongsheng smiled and said, "This is a big deal. I think you are not just imagining it." Then he asked, "What do you think of the leadership team of your village?"

"I just got home and don't understand the situation yet."

"Then have you ever thought about the position of village party branch secretary?"

"I never thought about it. I just came back and don't know much about the situation in the village, and I lack experience in rural work."

Tian Yongsheng smiled and asked: "Have you done anything before building the reservoir?"

"No."

"Didn't you do a great job? Even Secretary Zhao of the county party committee praised you. Your platoon even won the title of 'Pioneer in Water Control'."

"I was also trying to do it under the command of the town leaders."

"No one knows everything from birth. They all learn by doing." Tian Yongsheng looked at his watch and said, "Let's talk about this first. Dong Datian will be here soon."

"Um."

As soon as Dong Datian rode his bicycle into the gate of the town government, he happened to meet Li Minqiang pushing his bicycle out of the yard.

"Minqiang, have you come to town?"

"Ah, Secretary Tian has something to do with me. I'm going back to the village first."

"All right."

Li Minqiang drove away, and Dong Datian started to mutter: What are you doing with Minqiang?

Dong Datian knocked on the door of Tian Yongsheng's office.

"Secretary Tian, ​​I'm here."

"Well, you can sit down."

Dong Datian sat down uneasily.

Tian Yongsheng closed the notebook in his hand and said, "I came to you to ask you a few simple questions."

Dong Datian sat down and said: "Okay, Secretary Tian, ​​you can ask."

"If you were put in the position of village party branch secretary, would you have the confidence to do it well?"

"Yes!" He said in a swore tone, "I will do a good job even if I risk my life!"

"Have you ever thought about becoming the village party branch secretary?"

Dong Datian replied simply: "I have thought about it."

"what are you thinking?"

Dong Datian said seriously: "I remember a great man said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. I want to be a secretary, not to be an official or a master, nor for my own benefit. I want to be a secretary."

I want to lead our fellow villagers in Shagang Village to find a broad road to wealth."

"Can you tell me specifically where your bright road is? In other words, what do you rely on to lead everyone to get rich? What are the specific methods?"

Dong Datian lowered his head and had no words to answer, because he had not thought about this question yet.

Tian Yongsheng smiled and said, "Since you want to be a secretary, you must have some plans in mind!"

Dong Datian raised his head and said, "Yes!"

"What's the plan?"

"Burn bricks!"

"Burning bricks?"

"Ah! There is an old brick kiln in our village. Just re-ignite it. There is plenty of soil in the countryside. If you re-ignite it and make bricks, you will get money!"

"I have seen that brick kiln. It has not been used for many years. It has collapsed and is in dilapidated condition. Can it still be used to bake bricks?"

"It won't cost much to clean it up."

Tian Yongsheng said thoughtfully: "Well, let's clean up the bricks. Do you have any other plans?"

"As the saying goes, if you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, have fewer children and raise more pigs, and mobilize everyone to raise more pigs."

"Raise more pigs, is there anything left?"

Dong Datian said thoughtfully: "Let me think about it again. There will definitely be other ways. I will report to you after I think about it."

"Okay, you can think about it when you go back."

Dong Datian left Tian Yongsheng's office with suspicion and opened the door of Chang Ziming's office.

"Brother-in-law."

Chang Ziming smiled and asked: "How was the talk?"

Dong Datian stroked his head and said: "I don't know, and I can't tell what Secretary Tian is thinking." Then he asked: "Brother-in-law, I just met Min Qiang. What do you think Secretary Tian has to do with Min Qiang?"

Son?"

Chang Ziming smiled and said: "What can happen? Secretary Tian just thinks Min is strong."

"What do you mean?" Dong Datian asked anxiously.

"What do you mean, I want him to be the secretary."

"How is he doing?"

"Why can't he?"

"He just came back from the army!"

"What's wrong with just coming back from the army? He's educated and well-educated, and everyone likes his intelligence."

Dong Datian said unconvinced: "Isn't he just a high school student?"

"High school students are better than you. You haven't even finished elementary school."

"You don't want to pick up any of the pots, so that means I'm out of luck?"

"Once Secretary Tian came to discuss with me, I recommended you. Secretary Tian didn't say he disagreed, so he wanted to talk to you."

Dong Datian smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law. Since we are pro-three-partners, you have to continue to speak for me at the party committee."

"Oh, there is no turning back when the bow is fired, how can I not say that!"
To be continued...
