Chapter 28 Visiting Chen Yanshi and Gao Yuliang
"Okay, mayor, then I'll share my immature thoughts. Please feel free to criticize and correct any shortcomings!"
I think our township should vigorously promote agricultural technology to increase grain production, which will improve the township's finances.
Of course, if we want to vigorously promote agricultural technology, we must first help people increase their income.
Therefore, vegetable cultivation should be vigorously promoted and the planting area should continue to be expanded.
The road connecting the village to the county seat was repaired to facilitate smooth travel for cars.
The post office's trucks were used to help villagers transport vegetables to the county town, as the bus alone could not help more villagers sell their vegetables in the county town.
Besides, the township needs to develop other industries; relying solely on agriculture cannot lead the 8.3 residents of all 46 villages to a better life.
Qi Tongwei said that the development of Gushanling Township can only be done step by step.
It's impossible to expect any major changes all at once.
First of all, the conditions in Gushanling Township are very poor, and the transportation is also inadequate.
Secondly, there was serious internal strife, with Party Secretary Wan Jiaxian and Township Head Yan Maoqing clearly at odds.
"Your idea is excellent, and the township will consider it."
In future work, I will think more about ways to help the village develop.
After listening, Yan Maoqing felt that Qi Tongwei was still holding back some things, but what Qi Tongwei said were also suitable methods for the development of Gushanling Township.
But he could understand Qi Tongwei's concerns; performing too well would only lead to suppression.
"Yes, Mayor!"
Qi Tongwei could tell that the township head, Yan Maoqing, was not very satisfied with his answer.
Because the methods he mentioned are things that many people could think of, and they are not new.
After leaving the township government compound, Qi Tongwei went to the post office.
The Agricultural Daily sent me a sample copy of "Some Explorations on Improving People's Lives with Vegetables" and a 20 yuan fee for the article.
He's going to collect his royalties.
Time flew by and it was mid-January when the township finally paid everyone's wages.
Qi Tongwei received three months' salary, and after deducting the cost of food, he received a total of 210 yuan.
In addition, the 320 yuan that Qi Tongwei spent on rapeseed was also reimbursed.
After deducting the 100 yuan for expenses over the past two and a half months, Qi Tongwei had 750 yuan in his pocket.
Qi Tongwei sent 300 yuan home and kept the remaining 350 yuan for himself.
Qi Tongwei doesn't plan to go home for the Spring Festival. He's going to Jingzhou to research materials at the Handong University Library and expand on the book "The Rise of a Great Power".
I need to get the 50 yuan payment per thousand words as soon as possible.
Qi Tongwei treated everyone at the agricultural technology station to a meal, and then treated the station director Yan Shihai and deputy director Tian Xiaojuan to a separate meal.
Without the help of his superiors and colleagues, Qi Tongwei could not have done such a good job.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei treated Qin Huai and Cao Aikang to a meal separately to thank Qin Huai for his help and Cao Aikang for his three months of dedicated teaching.
Afterwards, he invited Yan Shihai, Tian Xiaojuan, and Zhu Zhiyong, the executive deputy township head in charge of agriculture, to have a meal together.
Without the support of leaders, Qi Tongwei would not have received the two awards for outstanding individuals.
Qi Tongwei arranged for the villagers of six villages—Gushan, Lingshan, Qingshui, Lingxia, Lingshang, and Ling'an—to sell vegetables.
While preparing for the vegetable planting plan after the New Year, the vegetables with short growth cycles were processed before and after the New Year.
The land for planting these vegetables should not be left empty; we must hurry up and plant vegetables there.
January will be over soon.
A few days later, the village was given a holiday.
Qi Tongwei first visited Luo Chengcai, the organization minister, in the county town, and then took some local specialties from Yantai Mountain to Jingzhou.
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Wang, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I've come to visit you both and wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"
Qi Tongwei entered the room and put the things on the coffee table.
"Tongwei, you're here, why did you bring anything?"
Chen Yanshi thought that Qi Tongwei had come to him for help because he couldn't endure working at the grassroots level anymore.
Qi Tongwei has high aspirations, and working at the grassroots level does not meet his requirements.
"Uncle Chen, here's a local specialty from Yantai Mountain for you two to try."
Qi Tongwei said that even if Chen Yanshi was aloof, he wouldn't refuse such a small local specialty as Yantai Mountain.
Moreover, his purpose was to thank Chen Yanshi and avoid being accused of being ungrateful.
"Alright, we'll accept it then."
Wang Fuzhen said that her family had helped Qi Tongwei so much, so it was only right for Qi Tongwei to bring some local specialties to thank them.
"Chen Hai, how's the student council work going?"
Qi Tongwei told Chen Hai that he hadn't paid attention to anything related to Handong University since the National Day holiday.
“It went pretty smoothly!”
Chen Hai said that as a key leader of the student union at Handong University, he is quite busy, but he can manage.
"Tongwei, how's your work at the grassroots level?"
Chen Yanshi asked, wanting Qi Tongwei to state his purpose.
He didn't believe that Qi Tongwei had come just to visit him and his wife.
“Working at the grassroots level is quite difficult, but dealing with ordinary people all day long is a great way to develop oneself.”
Qi Tongwei said that working in agriculture in rural towns is a real learning experience.
"Work hard and lead the people to a better life as soon as possible."
Chen Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; at least Qi Tongwei hadn't come to ask him for help.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei and Chen Yanshi chatted for a while longer before saying goodbye.
"Senior, have you been paying attention to Handong University lately?"
Chen Hai saw Qi Tongwei out and asked outside the courtyard gate.
"No, I work in agriculture and I'm exhausted from going to the countryside every day. I simply don't have the energy to pay attention to Handong University."
Chen Hai, you have no idea how difficult agricultural work is; many farmers don't cooperate with our work.
Qi Tongwei said that he only pays attention to it occasionally, and most of the time, he doesn't want to pay attention to Handong University at all, nor does he have the energy to do so.
"Teacher Liang Lu is still paying attention to you. Aren't you afraid of being stuck in Gushanling Township for the rest of your life?"
Chen Hai asked, and Liang Lu now seemed determined not to let Qi Tongwei off the hook until he bowed his head.
If he were Qi Tongwei, he would be genuinely afraid that Liang Lu would keep him stuck in Gushanling Township.
"Chen Hai, Secretary Liang Qunfeng, as the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, does indeed have a great influence in Handong."
But Handong is not just Liang Qunfeng's Handong; above him are the provincial governor and the provincial party secretary.
Several other members of the provincial party committee standing committee were in the same position as him.
Qi Tongwei said that the Liang family couldn't control everything, and Liang Lu didn't have the ability to keep him trapped in Gushanling Township for the rest of his life.
After saying goodbye to Chen Hai, Qi Tongwei went to Gao Yuliang's home at Handong University.
"Teacher Gao, Teacher Wu, the New Year is coming soon, so I've come to visit you both and wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"
When Qi Tongwei arrived, it was already dark. He chose this time to come because he was afraid of running into that old woman, Liang Lu.
"Tongwei, how's work in the township?"
Gao Yuliang asked, "Since we met once during the National Day holiday, we haven't been in contact at all."
Gao Yuliang thought that Qi Tongwei had already left him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei came to visit him and wished him a Happy New Year in advance, just before the Chinese New Year.
“Teacher Gao, with your guidance, I am doing very well in Gushanling Township.”
Qi Tongwei talked about his work in Gushanling Township.
"Not bad, you didn't embarrass Handong University or the Department of Political Science and Law."
Gao Yuliang was very pleased that Qi Tongwei had achieved such good results so soon after starting his job, and had even won the title of advanced individual at both the county and township levels.
This is a good example for Handong University and the Department of Political Science and Law.
“Teacher Gao, I was being immature when you called me in July. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”
The agricultural work in Gushanling Township was at the bottom of the county. After the National Day holiday, I started to take charge of a region.
Four of the six villages I'm responsible for are the most underdeveloped. I've been so busy that I forgot to contact you. Please forgive me.
Qi Tongwei said that half a year had passed since the incident in July, and he had apologized at that time.
But when he came to Jingzhou during the National Day holiday, he did not apologize again, which must have made Gao Yuliang feel uncomfortable.
"Tongwei, that matter is in the past. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't blame you."
Now that you've made your choice, you must stick to it.
Gao Yuliang waved his hand, saying that a professor like him wouldn't bother arguing with Qi Tongwei over something so trivial.
"Thank you, Teacher Gao!"
Qi Tongwei said happily, he was really afraid that Gao Yuliang would take it seriously, after all, he would need Gao Yuliang's help many times in the future.
