Spring Breeze 1991

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Yao Yuan did not expect that as the mayor of a town, it would be so difficult at home.

Three large tile-roofed houses, three generations under one roof, Guan Tianming's old father lived in one, Guan Tianming and his wife lived in one, his son and daughter-in-law's family lived in one, and the kitchen was built of yellow mud, ginseng and dried straw, which was protected from the wind. If it rains, dinner will be settled on the open space in front of the door, and the dining table will be moved out, with a few chairs, and the whole family will eat like this.

Guan Tianming was very surprised by the arrival of Yao Yuan and others. Just as Wang Yu guessed, he didn't give them a good look.

The township is not big, the news has already spread, and Guan Tianming's wife, son and daughter-in-law are not in a good mood either, but it is at least polite not to hit a smiling face.

After Lin Xiaohu and Wang Yu took the gifts out of the car, Guan Tianming's daughter-in-law's attitude improved a lot. Seeing the exquisite goat milk powder, she couldn't help being excited.

Wang Yu smiled and introduced, "Sisters and sisters, this is the imported goat milk powder that Mayor Yao entrusted someone to buy from Hong Kong. It is produced in New Zealand and has very high nutritional value. These cans are suitable for babies under one year old."

This is what Yao Yuan told Wang Yu, and Wang Yu couldn't understand it either. Breastfeeding is basically the norm these days, and the domestic milk powder industry can't keep up. As for imported milk powder, don't even think about it.

A few days ago, Han Ming called and said that he planned to contract a ranch to raise cattle in Inner Mongolia. Yao Yuan simply asked him to try to engage in the dairy industry, buy a milk factory, and follow Mengniu's way, leaving Mengniu with nowhere to go.

Lin Wei said that Yao Yuan is now the king of children. The Spring Breeze Fund was set up to allow children to receive education. From then on, it has been expanded to implement the "A bottle of milk every day" campaign in primary and secondary schools in all impoverished areas of the country, which requires milk. Enterprise support.

Now Yao Yuan began to worry about the infant milk powder issue.

That's not what Kid King is.

Wang Yu helped the Guan family prepare dinner, Guan Tianming's son went to the back of the house to serve the two sows, Yao Yuan, Xu Hui, Lin Xiaohu and Guan Tianming sat and chatted in the front yard.

"You don't have to be like this. I am a party cadre. I will go where the organization tells me to go. I will step back to the second line if the organization asks me to. I have nothing to say." Guan Tianming's tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear anything. Attitude, it seems really open.

But Xu Hui knew that it was very difficult for this veteran cadre who had been the top leader for more than ten years to step down from the position of mayor suddenly.

Xu Hui was not easy to speak, and Guan Tianming regarded him as a thorn in his side.

Seven years ago, Guan Tianming used the same method to let Xu Hui sit on the bench. Today, seven years later, he used the same method to deal with Yao Yuan. Unfortunately, he failed this time. Worked in the position until retirement.

Xu Hui could only look at Yao Yuan.

Yao Yuan spoke surprisingly, and said, "Mayor Guan, Mayor Chen said that if you don't change your mind, you can change people. That's how I understand it."

He handed Guan Tianming a cigarette. Guan Tianming looked at him and took a long time before he took it.

Yao Yuan lit a cigarette, rolled up his trousers, and put on a farmer’s chattering posture, and said, “This year, it has been seventeen years since the reform and opening up. It is true that before 1992, some policies were repeated. Many people have doubts, worrying that the world will change overnight, but after 1992, everyone knows that the wave of economic development has come, and the policy of reform and opening up is unswerving.”

The 1992 years before 14 were generally considered to be the groping stage of the initial stage of reform and opening up. Everyone was groping forward in the dark, with fear, worry, and hesitation.After passing this node, everyone finds that there is nothing to be afraid of, just let go of your courage and take a step forward.

"Some comrades are worried about going the wrong way. The chief teacher said, don't be afraid of going the wrong way, just be afraid of not walking. If you go the wrong way, you can change it. You can always find the right way. If you don't go forward, you will never go the right way. Take Huilong Town as an example, is there really no foundation for the development of industry and commerce? Yes, there has always been, and it has always been there, waiting for us to discover."

After a pause and a puff of cigarette, Yao Yuan said in a very slow voice, "Mayor Guan, the hat of a national-level poverty-stricken town must be taken off sooner or later. It is better to take it off sooner than later. I believe you want to For the sake of the more than 8 people in the town, let alone Liu Chunju's abduction case, you have always attached great importance to it, public security is related to the stable life of the people, and a safe environment is an important part of the happiness index."

After a pause again, Yao Yuan changed the topic, "But, is it just a safe environment? You know, although I haven't been working in Huilong Town for a long time, I have traveled to every village. The one that impressed me the most is It's a family in Longtan Village."

"A family of five lives in a house on stilts. There is only one bed made of wooden planks. A pair of cloth shoes full of patches. The family relies on their backs to sell firewood in the county to make ends meet. They walk tens of miles of mountain roads to the county and sell it for a few yuan a day. You can only eat bibimbap fried with fatty pork, which is the best meal."

Yao Yuan choked up a little while talking.

As a human being in two lives, he thought he had seen too much hardship in the world, but when he saw the numb eyes of that family and saw them in ragged clothes, he still couldn't stop crying.

People are not plants, how can they be ruthless?

Guan Tianming was moved, and Yao Yuan's true feelings were revealed, which touched the side of his heart that had been escaping all the time. He didn't know the suffering of the common people, but he didn't know when it started. He began to ignore these sufferings subconsciously, not because he was insensitive. , but the essence of human nature - unwillingness to be immersed in pain.

Yao Yuan took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice, "However, even though it is already so difficult, the Family Planning Office will still punish them to death. I know that the family used to have a one-story house, at least they are not afraid of wind and rain, because I don’t have the money to pay the super-birth fine, and the house was taken away.”

Speaking of this, Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's all caused by poverty. The fundamental way to solve these problems is to solve the root of poverty."

"Mayor Guan, believe it or not, I'm not interested in being an official. Let me put it bluntly. If I want to be an official, I can stay in the provincial party committee and the provincial government. There is no need to come to Huilong Town. You also I know, and other comrades also know that I am not short of money. In fact, no matter how I spend it, my family’s money can’t be spent. As a new generation of young cadres who have been trained by the party and the state for many years, I hope to do something for the common people. Do your best to do something good for the people."

This kind of words that only appear in the meeting, said from Yao Yuan's mouth at this time, but it touched everyone's heart, no one thought that Yao Yuan was singing high-profile.

Because this is Yao Yuan's true state of mind.

Yao Yuan said sincerely, "Mayor Guan, no matter what position you are in, I hope you can contact the police station, check on Chen Dong and the others, solve Liu Chunju's abduction case, and improve the security of the whole town. request."

Guan Tianming looked at Yao Yuan, feeling old for the first time.

He nodded slowly, and took the initiative to raise his glass.
