Taking Dagang and others with him to Guinan Province, Li Zhendong considered having someone to help him along the way. And the enthusiastic, proactive and protective attitude of Dagang and others along the way, in Wang Lianxiang's eyes, was simply amazing! Sometimes, the eldest son Xiaodong inadvertently shows an aura of giving orders to Dagang and others, and these young people also do not compromise and appear to obey orders. Wang Lianxiang really didn't know what to say and looked at him with doubtful eyes several times. Looking at his son and then at the young men, Wang Lianxiang was at a loss. If you have doubts, you will naturally seek explanations. Wang Lianxiang found an opportunity to avoid Dagang and other people and asked about something she felt was wrong. It has something to do with County Magistrate Hu! Li Zhendong just explained it in a few words. He said that he had helped County Magistrate Hu with many things, and this time he sent a few people to take care of him when he was traveling far away. Thinking of Hu Changjun, Wang Lianxiang thought deeply for a moment. At County Magistrate Hu's house, I saw with my own eyes how my son got along with Magistrate Hu's family. They could chat and laugh with each other casually, and the loving attitude of Magistrate Hu and his wife towards Li Zhendong could not be faked. Wang Lianxiang believed that it was the person sent by County Magistrate Hu. Of course, there were many doubts about this, but Wang Lianxiang did not delve into it and chose to ignore it. Wang Lianxiang also had to admit that with the help of these young people, the journey became very easy and simple. Wang Lianxiang told Li Zhendong, you must remember that County Magistrate Hu is so kind to you. Yeah, yeah, whatever his mother said, Li Zhendong responded. I got off the train at two or three o'clock in the afternoon and set foot on the land of Jinshi. Looking at familiar and unfamiliar scenes. Li Zhendong searched bit by bit in his long-distant memory. The exit of the train station is a small square. There are mostly private houses on both sides, a mess of low and old bungalows. There are very few buildings. Directly ahead is a large road extending along the river to the city center. A few dozen meters away, the four-story Railway Hotel stood abruptly. The economy of Guangxi Province is underdeveloped. Until the early 1990s, Guinan Province's economic development had always been at the bottom of the country. Not to mention the early 1980s, it was after the mid-1980s. 1987. After statistical verification, the national government departments announced a set of figures at the seventh session of the National People's Congress. This set of numbers is conclusive. The average net income of farmers across the country is 463 yuan. Gui Province is only 350 yuan; the national per capita grain output is nearly 400 kilograms, while Gui Province is only 299 kilograms; the national per capita fiscal income is 230 yuan, while Gui Province is 74 Yuan. The gap is big enough. The land where Li Zhendong stands now is the Jincheng area. In this era, the regional establishment has not yet been abolished. Transformed into a city. It should be more accurately called Jincheng area. This Jincheng area is even more backward to the point of clanking. The Jincheng area governs eleven counties (urban areas), all of which are extremely backward counties. There are seven national key counties for poverty alleviation, relief and development, two are autonomous region key counties for poverty alleviation, relief and development, and two are ordinary poor counties. Well, you can¡¯t find it anywhere that¡¯s not poor. Almost all rely on state poverty alleviation assistance. The Jincheng area is not wealthy and the transportation is not developed, but the scenery is very beautiful. Because it is a typical karst landform in geology. Whether it's on the surface or underground. The Jincheng area is rich in tourism resources such as peak forests, peak clusters, caves, etc. ??The barren mountains and ridges that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. Hidden deep inside is a strange and rugged beauty. There is a small amount of virgin forest with many wild animals. There are beautiful mountains and flat lakes. There is a relatively large river in the Jincheng area, flowing between high mountains. You can take a boat tour and go straight upstream. The scenery on both sides of the river is even more wonderful. Li Zhendong, who has been here once or twice, still remembers it. The person who picked up the car was not his father, Li Guotang. Standing in the small square is a young officer in his twenties, surnamed Liang, full name Liang Junping. Officer Xiaoliang held up a sign. After contacting Li Zhendong, he looked at Wang Lianxiang's group of people and was still thinking: Didn't the chief say there were only three people in the family? Asked about his father Li Guotang. Xiao Liang said that it would take a few days for the chief to go to a foreign office for a business trip and explain to him how to pick someone up. Wang Lianxiang is used to it. It is common for Li Guotang to go on business trips. In the past few years, he spent eight months of the year on business trips. It will be better after becoming a leader. There is one hanging on the back of the door at home, which contains the clothes that Li Guotang needs frequently, etc., all prepared in advance. When you get anxious, say you are going on a business trip, bring enough food stamps and money, and leave immediately. Xiao Liang brought over a jeep. It was originally estimated that there would be three people in it, but he didn¡¯t expect there to be so many people. Moreover, the chief¡¯s family carries a lot of packages with them. He didn't know it was a farewell gift. We can only hire a few tricycles to transport goods and people. The weather in Guizhou Province is much warmer than that in Hunan Province. When leaving Hunan Province, aEveryone wears thick clothes. After getting off the train, carrying a lot of luggage, and moving around, I started to sweat faintly. Dagang took off several military coats, revealing the clothes underneath. A suit. Several people were tall and well-dressed, and many people on the street were watching. The urban area of ??Jincheng area is not large, and a main road connects the north and south of the river. Starting from the train station, crossing the bridge, we arrived at the military station not far away. The troop station is at the bottom of a mountain. It¡¯s understandable that the chief¡¯s family wants to check out their housing first. Xiaoliang took people to the place. Li Zhendong took a look, haha, it was still the old house from the previous life. A flat house with four main rooms, a kitchen and a yard. Compared with Hunan Province, the buildings are much larger. There is a row of weeping willows in front of and behind the house. This area is full of bungalows, and they are all occupied by the families of military cadres. Li Zhendong's family came to see the house, and a group of children stood not far away and looked at it. The younger brother Li Zhenxi was running through several empty rooms. Enter through the front door and exit through the back door. He turned around and shouted, "Brother, let's play hide and seek." When Dagang and the others heard this, they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. It is difficult for a few people to imagine that Mr. Li plays like an ordinary child. Go, you little kid, who has time to play hide-and-seek with you? There are a lot of things to deal with now. Rooms need to be cleaned and tidied up. Items brought from Hunan Province. I couldn't look at many things in the car. I just briefly looked through a few bags, mostly food. This is the time to check. Fortunately, it is winter, the weather is cold, and the food does not spoil easily. Even if it¡¯s not broken, it needs to be cleaned. When someone brings a lot of bacon, they have to tie a rope between the nails on the wall to hang the bacon up to dry. Xiao Liang saw the chief¡¯s family packing their luggage. After opening it, there was a lot of food inside. Sorry to stay longer. He said he would go back to the office to deal with things first and come back later to take them to the army guest house. The car sent here to transport furniture to the Hunan Machinery Factory has not returned yet. Taking the train is much faster than taking the car. It probably won't arrive until tomorrow. Tonight, I will stay in a military guest house for one night, or go to a regional government guest house. Wang Lianxiang walked around inside and out. She didn't look very satisfied, nagging "The place is too big" and "Wouldn't the house be bigger?" Li Zhendong was quite puzzled by what his mother said. "What's the benefit of being big? You have to pay a lot more money." Wang Lianxiang shook his head. Rent costs? How many can there be? Li Zhendong has read the documents issued by the army on housing charges. It has been implemented since 1979. The "Standards and Measures for Fees for Officers' Quarters" issued by the Ministry of National Defense in 1958 were abolished. The cost of dormitories for cadres: one and a half cents per square meter for independent houses (high-level leaders); one cent per square meter for single-family buildings; and 0.5 cents per square meter for single-family units. The house is a mixed structure (masonry, stone and wood structure) and costs 2 cents per square meter. There are no water meters or electricity meters installed. The electricity fee is 3.5% per square meter and the water fee is 1.5% per square meter. After the water meter and electricity meter are installed, charges will be based on actual consumption; the cement floor in the house is calculated at two cents per square meter; the yard is natural soil and does not count; the walls painted with lime are one cent and a half per square meter. ; Installing glass windows costs one penny per square meter of glass window area; plus some other odds and ends. " Single cadres who live in collective dormitories are charged 50 cents per person per month for accommodation; there are employees in the army, and the wages of employees are lower than those of military cadres at the 23rd administrative level. The monthly accommodation fee is three cents; cadres who live in semi-basements are charged half the fee; there is no charge for studying in military academies and living in offices, basements, tents, thatched sheds, and temporary work sheds. Cadres below the regiment level (including regiment level) who are stationed at the border and on the islands are provided with half-cost housing. There is no charge for housing for single company cadres. ? High-level cadres above military level (including consultants) due to work needs. There is no charge for a reception room set up inside the dormitory; the barracks arranged by the army for staff serving the commander, and the accommodation fees for civil servants, secretaries, guards, cooks, and drivers are the responsibility of the commander. There is no charge for working rooms such as the Huaguo Bank, Post and Telecommunications Office, Xinhua Bookstore, and state-owned stores located in the military barracks. This house, not counting the yard, is only about 100 square meters, and costs more than ten yuan a month. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about this little money, right?¡± Li Zhendong¡¯s mouth was crooked. He already bought countless houses in the Lingnan Shenzhen District. My mother is worried about the room fee here. ¡°This is a small amount of money?¡± ¡ ¡°One yuan and three cents is responsible for a day¡¯s meals. Do you want to order meals?¡± A good-looking girl looked at the handsome young man in front of her, her eyes flashed. The group of people who came in looked a little different. Wang Lianxiang chose this place because of its proximity. When going through the accommodation procedures, workthe staff asked. The army guesthouse is on the street next to the gate of the station. Li Zhendong is very familiar with this place. In the previous life, my mother found a job here after her job was transferred from Hunan Province. After organizational arrangements, I went to work in this guest house and managed the canteen of the guest house. Li Zhendong has been here frequently. In the large yard behind the guest house, there is a small pond of more than 100 square meters. There are a few bamboos in the small pond. Although the pond is small, the fish in it are not small. It is probably because the fish pond has never been cleaned. Li Zhendong secretly caught fish there, and caught a bighead fish weighing more than ten kilograms. ¡°We¡¯re only staying for one night, we don¡¯t need it anymore.¡± Li Zhendong shook his head. Three meals in a triangle package for one yuan, how much better can this food be? In the early 1980s, the army¡¯s guest houses began to implement corporate management. For those who come to the guest house for accommodation or meetings, each person is charged an additional one yuan and three cents, and they are responsible for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Less than one dollar and three cents are not responsible for food and drink. This kind of regulation once spread to all hostels in the army. Finally, the leader of the Logistics Department of the Lingnan Provincial Military Region learned about this matter. Then a notice was issued, requiring all army hostels not to impose this provision. Management fees and other expenses cannot be withdrawn from the food expenses of the residents. Convenience must be provided to diners and meals must be organized according to actual conditions. "Then we have masters cooking here. You can see what you need." The girl never forgets to sell. Look at this girl, she looks good! Li Zhendong waved his hand, Dagang understood, nodded, and a waiter entered the canteen. In less than a moment, the waiter came out, "There aren't many meat dishes." Li Zhendong smiled at the girl and shook his head. I have a few big men with me, and there is nothing I can do if I don¡¯t have food. "Let's go for a walk outside and see where it's suitable to eat." Li Zhendong spoke. The younger brother agrees most with the elder brother's decision. The street is so lively. I was already climbing up the window and looking out when I was in the car. ¡° He said he was going outside to take a look, but in fact, Li Zhendong already knew where there were good places in the city. Jinshi is the center of the entire region and an important transportation artery in northwestern Guangxi. It brings together specialties from all over the country, and the supply of goods is guaranteed to be good. Even though all the counties and districts in Jincheng area are not rich, the strange thing is that there are also many rich people! Still eating delicacies from the mountains, game, and rivers. Sometimes, Li Zhendong secretly makes some malicious guesses. Is part of the relief subsidies from the country and Guangxi Province being eaten? "However, there is a good place, and Li Zhendong did not directly say where to go. If I tell her where to go directly, my mother will definitely not agree. Even if Dagang and others pay, it won¡¯t work. Not to mention, there was nothing my mother could do once she got there. Li Zhendong led a group of people through a narrow alley and turned into the city center. Just next to the square in Jincheng area. The busiest place in the entire Jincheng area is here, with a statue standing in the middle of the streets extending in all directions. The Municipal People's Cinema is right next to it, which is the activity center of Jinshi. Surrounding the cinema, there are several alleys with stalls selling things, street food stalls, etc. The streets were full of shouts, giving Li Zhendong a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time. Officer Xiaoliang originally wanted to lead the way by himself, but the young man was already walking in front. After not walking far, Xiao Liang discovered that the boy seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he arrived at the city center after a few rounds. I was quite confused, had the chief's son been here? When he arrived at the place, Xiaoliang was surprised, it was a local guest house! Come to a place like this? (To be continued)
