    [417] In rural areas, Xiaoqiang decided on his own initiative to distribute liberation shoes and socks to every migrant worker, and word of this reached the Prime Minister.  .Some comrades in the Government Affairs Council suddenly jumped out and scolded Cao Xiaoqiang for not knowing the sufferings of his superiors and making arbitrary suggestions to increase costs. Moreover, the costs were huge. The market price of a pair of cloth and rubber shoes was 2.6 yuan, which was worth the monthly salary of a female migrant worker!  However, the Prime Minister remained calm and said at the meeting: "I think Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang's inspection this time was very effective. He truly realized the difficulties at the grassroots level and the hard work of the working people. The work of regulating Huaihe River has been from the beginning.  It is Comrade Xiaoqiang who is personally participating in the management. He said it is necessary, which means it is very necessary. But I think he is still a little conservative and scrupulous. I support Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang¡¯s opinion, but I think the number of socks needs to be increased every month.  Give me two pairs. Anyone who has worked knows that wearing socks is the most expensive thing, but if you don¡¯t wear socks, it will hurt your feet and cost you shoes.¡± There was a silence in the meeting, and the comrade who had raised the issue immediately shut up.  Immediately some comrades pointed out that without investigation, there is no right to speak. Since the central government has sent Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang to investigate, it must fully trust the front-line comrades and make timely adjustments to the policy. This is very good and fully takes into account the positive surname of front-line comrades.  .  The Prime Minister¡¯s absolute support for Cao Xiaoqiang can now be seen even by a blind man.  At the meeting, some cadres laughed and complained: "That's the secretary to the chairman, prime minister and commander-in-chief. If you work against him, you will get three bumps on the head if you go out with just one sentence. This guy is so efficient in offending people."  ¡­¡± ¡°In order to treat everyone equally, all water conservancy projects being launched across the country are all implemented in accordance with this subsidy standard.  Xiaoqiang dared to say this mainly because the factory wholesale price of Jiefang shoes in 2011 was only 12 yuan a pair, and the socks were only 50 cents a pair, so the cost was not high.  Probably in order to completely dispel Xiaoqiang's attempt to escape to North Korea to participate in the Korean War, the chairman's message came down, asking Xiaoqiang to continue to stay in Anhui and conduct in-depth research on the current situation in the countryside.  No matter what the chairman thought specifically, this is how Xiaoqiang understood it after receiving the telegram.  He calculated that he would have to wait in this poorest province until the Prime Minister came to inspect, and then he would probably start carrying out tasks again when he returned to the northern capital with the Prime Minister. During this time, he really had no time to go to North Korea to show his face.  "Okay, then I'll just stay in this poor place Oh, I miss the candied haws, popsicles and soda drinks in Beidu! It's too hot in the summer in this ghost place in Anhui. I'm so poor in the world.  It feels like I have returned to the Stone Age The anti-Xunx headquarters is so poor that they don't even have an electric fan" Xiaoqiang made up his mind and left as soon as he finished his time.  "However, it would be unreasonable to stay in the guest house all the time, blowing on this electric fan specially moved from the mayor's office.  So Xiaoqiang took Dongzi and hung out in the engineering headquarters.  On this day, the engineering department was going to survey a small reservoir. Xiaoqiang thought that this was a good opportunity to go sightseeing, which was at least better than staying in the headquarters and watching the drawings and watching the progress of the project, so he proposed to lead the team himself.  The water conservancy project personnel these days are all weak-legged. The leaders from the central government want to go down together, and they don¡¯t take much care. They just bring a few more soldiers to strengthen the security work.  Because the countryside is mountainous and the roads are difficult to walk, everyone took a tractor together.  After these days of use, all the construction workers were full of praise for the adaptability of the hand-held tractor, saying that this thing is easier to use than an American Jeep. It is not only excellent in off-road performance, but can also haul goods and people. It is really amazing.  Excellent means of transportation.  Xiaoqiang climbed onto the tractor bed and sat on the edge of the frame. Seeing Li Xiuying sitting in front of him, he smiled and said, "Li Xiuying, you have learned to drive a tractor so quickly!" Li Xiuying was wearing a Chinese-style blue single cloth gown with loops today.  , much better than the previous strapless homespun work clothes.  Probably due to wear and tear from carrying things, there are only large patches of gray cloth nailed to the shoulders, and the rest of it is not very old.  "Hello, Chief." Li Xiuying turned around, swung the tough and shiny big braids that she kept twisting with scissors on her tightly bulging chest, and smiled shyly.  Early in the morning, her face was washed very clean. Under the sun, the fine hairs on her unopened cheeks had a soft and healthy glow.  "My master drives it, and I sit next to him and learn it. This is a good idea that Minister Qian came up with. If you learn it alone, it will be a waste of fuel! This way, learning will not delay things." Xiaoqiang nodded: "It is a good idea." Investigation.  The team members crowded onto three tractors and headed toward the countryside along the rural dirt road.  The cool summer breeze blows on the face, making people feel happy. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I was very excited at first, humming a song.  But within an hour, I felt a little unbearable.  "Dongzi, kettle." Dongzi, who was sitting opposite Xiaoqiang, quickly took out one of the two military green kettles that were straddling his body, unscrewed the lid and handed it over.  Xiaoqiang took a sip. The water smelled like plastic from the spout, which was not very drinkable.  ¡°Master Liu, are we almost here?¡± Xiaoqiang asked the tractor driver in front.  "Reporting to the chief, we are almost there. Lizhuang Village is ahead." Li Xiuying, who had been watching the driver carefully working on the tractor, turned around and said: "Chief, my home is in Lizhuang Village." "Oh." Xiaoqiang replied. He didn't know Li Xiuying.  What do you want to say?  Li Xiuying added: "My father and the village chief have prepared meals, and we will eat at my house at noon. There are many uncles in front of my house, in a shady place, not exposed to the sun." Xiaoqiang would feel sorry for himself and said with a smile: "  Okay, what do you eat for lunch in the village?" Li Xiuying turned around from the front row while holding the railing, and said excitedly to Xiaoqiang: "Yesterday, the village killed a lot of pigs, except for those sold to the engineering team.  The good meat is left to cool in the well." Dongzi said proudly: "I eat meat often in Beidu. The key is to cook it well, and the fat must be cooked" Xiaoqiang kicked Dongzi.  He scolded: "You foodie, remember to help others when you get back to work." Dongzi quickly said seriously: "Yes." Li Xiuying quickly said: "No, no, no, how can I let you work, then it won't work." Xiaoqiang said to the survey  Xu Jie, the leader of the team, said: "Will everyone go to the village to eat later?" Xu Jie had a dark face and was wearing a white round-neck old man's shirt with the name of the Huaihe River Regulation Committee printed on the chest in large red characters.  He said to Xiaoqiang: "Well, every time I come down, I eat at a fellow villager's house. The team gives five cents of food subsidy to each person in the village based on head count." He who didn't talk much along the way thought for a while and asked softly.  "Secretary Cao, have you met Chairman M in Beidu?" Xiaoqiang glanced at Xu Jie with a smile and nodded.  Xu Jie's eyes suddenly shone with envy, but before leaving, his leader warned him not to ask questions. This was discipline, and Xu Jie knew he must abide by it.  So he had to suppress his curiosity and carefully observe this mysterious leader from the northern capital.  The tractor drove all the way to the reservoir construction site. It was already nine o'clock. Xiaoqiang calculated that it took two and a half hours on the road.  After listening to the report from the construction workers, Xiaoqiang checked the relevant construction sites. It was time to eat.  The workers on the construction site ate in a temporary canteen, and the survey team¡¯s food was left in the village, so Xiaoqiang and his party rode a tractor to Lizhuang Village.  With the reception of the village chief, we came to Li Xiuying's house in the village. It is a three-room thatched house with a concave shape. The walls are made of yellow adobe mixed with straw. The roof is covered with thick new thatch. There are no courtyard walls. The open yard  They were pieced together with stones and embedded in the mud, and they were swept clean.  In the open yard, a row of four square tables has been placed under the big tree.  Everyone sat down and started eating without saying any polite words. The brown rice cooked in the farmhouse's wood-fired stove was very fragrant, but the pork was cooked badly, with three fingers of fat, but there was no soy sauce, so Xiaoqiang could see it.  I lost my appetite and didn't even touch a chopstick.  But the food enjoyed by everyone in the survey team was delicious.  Seeing that Li Xiuying was not there, Xiaoqiang thought that she might have gone into the house to eat.  Team leader Xu Jie joked: "Village Chief Li, you are doing great this time. You brought out big meat. In the past, when we came to eat, we only had steamed buns or pickles." Village Chief Li Songhe was introduced to be only forty, but  He looks like a sixty-year-old man with wrinkles all over his face.  He held the big bowl with a smile and said while eating: "Isn't this a notice from the headquarters, saying that the leaders are coming to inspect the construction site today and they want us to prepare some meat. Oh, why don't you eat meat, leader? Come on, come on  "A big piece." Li Songhe said, and took the largest piece of fat meat from the big bowl on the table to Xiaoqiang. It was white and shiny.  Xiaoqiang quickly pushed it away and said, "I've been having a stomachache for the past two days, so I can't eat greasy food. Dongzi eats it." Dongzi quickly took the meat from the village chief with chopsticks, bit it in his mouth and started chewing it, feeling satisfied.  ¡°This is what I cook in my hometown, without soy sauce, white fat meat, chewy, and full of oil in every bite.¡± Dongzi obviously likes this tune.  Xiaoqiang had never had the slightest confidence in Dongzi's taste. He wiped his sweat and said, "These sour beans are delicious and can be eaten with rice." Li Songhe saw that the chopped sour beans were very popular with the leaders, so he quickly shouted: "Xiuying  Ah, Xiuying, go to Widow Wang¡¯s place quickly and get some more beans, cut them up and mix them with sesame oil. The chief likes this. ???? Li Xiuying hurriedly ran out of the house and said, "I know, I'll go." Xiaoqiang started riding the tractor in the morning. He was tired of sitting on the tractor, so he got up and said, "I'll go with you." "Hey." Li Xiuying agreed.  .  "I'll go too," Dongzi said.  "You eat well." Xiaoqiang ordered.  Dongzi sat down and continued eating.  Li Xiuying led the way, Xiaoqiang followed closely behind her.  The dirt roads in the village are full of potholes, and the air at noon is filled with a faint smell of smoke from firewood stoves, mixed with the strange smell of animal excrement and the rotten smell of rot.  Xiaoqiang wrinkled his nose and lost his appetite even more.  He just wanted to leave that awkward dining table. Everyone there probably thought that he was too delicate to look down on the fat, but he couldn't explain that he had no ill intentions and was just a picky eater.  "The beans were pickled by Widow Wang. She specializes in pickling vegetables and selling them in the city." Li Xiuying explained.  Arriving at the hut of Widow Wang's house, Xiaoqiang saw five large vats lined up at the door, covered with heavy wooden lids. The wooden lids were thickly covered with straw and waterproof broken reed mats. Li Xiuying said hello, and Widow Wang came out.  , open a jar and take out pickled beans.  When Xiaoqiang was thinking about where to poke his leather-shoeed feet in a less dirty place, a little girl emerged from the low thatched hut. She was about seven or eight years old, sallow and thin, with messy and yellow hair, and a slug on the back of her head.  Wearing a braid, it was tied hastily with a string of unknown color.  A pair of small feet were not wearing socks, and they were kicking and dragging on a pair of large, tattered gray cloth shoes that they got from somewhere. The toes were exposed in the front and the heels were exposed in the back.  Seeing Widow Wang open the pickle vat, the thin child stepped forward, reached into the vat, pulled out a pickled bean, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.  When Widow Wang saw it, she took the pickled beans from the child's hand and threw it back into the vat, then slapped the girl's skinny arm.  "A starving ghost is reincarnated. Salt and salt don't cost money! They are going to be sold for money in exchange for food." The little girl didn't seem to feel any pain. She timidly hid behind Widow Wang and stuck her head out to enjoy the food.  Licking the salty water from his hands, he exposed his dirty, bony and thin back.  Occasionally, he raised his big eyes and glanced at Xiaoqiang and Li Xiuying.  Li Xiuying blushed anxiously and said: "Aunt Shuixiu, don't hit the locust flowers. What do children know? Isn't she hungry?" Wang Shuixiu didn't say anything, picked a handful of pickled beans from the vat and stuffed it to Li Xiuying.  , fearfully said to Xiao Qiang, who was wearing a brand-new 65-style green military uniform: "The chief is making a joke, the child is not sensible, he only knows how to eat. These pickles were ordered by the construction team. If they are too short, I will be sorry for the political axe."  " Xiaoqiang thinks that Widow Wang is about thirty years old, but judging from the fact that farmers are getting older these days, she should be less than thirty years old.  In appearance, she is pale and very thin. Her newly cut short hair is draped untidyly on the back of her head. Because of her thinness, her shoulder bones are obviously protruding, and they stand on the shabby clothes and the white washed green cloth.  The shirt was patched on the shoulders like Li Xiuying as usual, and the hem was also tattered with scattered threads.  Xiaoqiang said casually: "Sister, it's okay, don't scare the child." After saying that, Xiaoqiang took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his trouser pocket and handed it to Huaihua: "Your name is Huaihua, right? Uncle, please  You eat sweets." Huaihua timidly raised her head and glanced at Wang Shuixiu. Seeing that her mother didn't stop her, she turned her thin, sallow, and sickly face to Xiaoqiang, looking down at Xiaoqiang's chubby face with a look of condescension, fearing rejection.  With a white face, she stretched out a trembling little hand to him silently.  Xiaoqiang felt distressed. He put the toffee in her hand, picked her up and said, "Let's go have dinner with uncle." The child had a milky smell, but Xiaoqiang didn't care.  Li Xiuying hurriedly said: "Aunt Shuixiu, I will send Sophora japonica back after dinner." Wang Shuixiu panicked and shouted from behind: "Tell her to come back by herself after dinner, there is no need to send Chief, the child is heavy.  You tell her to come down and go by herself, don¡¯t run over youXiuying, Xiuying, tell the chief not to dirty her clothes" ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Sincerely thank you Dongdong Dao, longtu168168, weaving vlss  reward!  Thank you everyone!  Storytelling is not easy, I hope you will support me.  If you don¡¯t have money to subscribe, please support it by collecting it.
