On the mountain road to Swanchi Village, Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming walked for more than two hours. Along the way, Zhou Tianhao and Tan Dongming were introducing the situation of Swanchi Village. The village cadres were in the village and did not come down, so they were too far away.

Zhao Changhe was very moved. He couldn't stand it anymore when he walked it once. The people of Swanchi Village often had to walk on such mountain roads. It was really hard and difficult. If the road could not be built, I would be sorry to the people in the village. When Zhao Changhe said this, Zhou Tianhao was very happy. Zhou Tianhao was not sure about the 5 million yuan he asked for from above. Although the county stated that he would give 1.5 million yuan to build the road, who knew if it could be implemented? If it was not given, Zhou Tianhao would have no choice.

The village cadres, village secretary and village director were all waiting at the village secretary's home. Farmers had already come to help inform him. When they saw Zhao Changhe, everyone was very moved. After so many years, the people of Swanchi Village didn't know anything. The county party secretary had been to the village.

Zhao Changhe sat for a while, asked about the basic situation in the village, and asked about it and went to the village to take a look.

After walking through three families in a row, Zhao Changhe was in a heavy mood. There was no electricity on Swanchi Village and could not see any good houses. There were not many young people in the village. Most of the people at home were women and children, as well as older elderly people. The three families they visited were all slightly worse.

I was still having dinner at the village secretary's house, and the meat balls were also prepared.

"Secretary Zhao, Director Cai, an outsider in Swanchi Village is not very far away, so why not go and have a look?"

Zhou Tianhao was a little careful when he said this. After all, the county had a relatively unified understanding of these foreign farmers. If Zhao Changhe had any concerns, he might not have gone to see it.

Zhao Changhe did not speak immediately, but looked at Cai Zhiming. Then he looked at Zhou Tianhao.

"Xiao Zhou, according to your opinion, should I go and have a look?"

"I think you can go and have a look. I have always thought that this is a real problem. If you go and see, you know the actual situation, which is also the right thing to do. Of course, you are different from Director Cai. If you go and see, it will cause some speculation and words, it will be the trouble I caused."

Zhao Changhe smiled.

"Haha. Xiao Zhou, you are provoking, why don't you go? Since you have come to Swanchi Village, you should go and have a look. No matter what you decide to do in the future, they have been in Tianxing County and have lived in Swanchi Village for so long. I am the county party secretary. When I get here, I have to check their living conditions and care about it."

After dinner, the village secretary, village director and village cadres accompanied Zhao Changhe and his party, the village family planning specialist, responsible for continuing to raise funds. When it comes to paying the funds this time, the village secretary was very moved. After the heavy snow last year, the relief in the village was implemented very quickly. Moreover, after the beginning of the year, cadres from the Civil Affairs Office also came here and brought food. Therefore, this time for fundraising, the people in the village were very enthusiastic, and every household tried every means to pay the funds. The people all believed that the township government was doing good things and doing things for themselves, and they had to pay the money.

Zhao Changhe gave an instruction that the conditions in Swanchi Village are difficult and there is no road access. The farmers here are more difficult than those in other villages. They must consider the actual situation of the farmers' families. The funds that should be exempted must be exempted.

Half an hour later, Zhao Changhe arrived on the small hill where Zhou Tianhao once stood. Looking at the situation opposite, Zhao Changhe was also shocked.

Several old men from the middle of the foreign households have already come. Zhou Tianhao introduced them to the county party committee secretary Zhao Changhe and the county party committee office director Cai Zhiming, and several old men shook hands with Zhao Changhe and others, and they seemed very excited.

Song Cuihuā's father was obviously the most influential among these old men. He looked at Zhou Tianhao and Tan Dongming and spoke quickly.

"Secretary Zhao, Director Cai, our 2,000 people have moved to Swanchi Village for a long time. Although we are outsiders, we live here. This time, the village has built roads and raised funds without including us. We are a little dissatisfied and embarrassed. You give us a review and we still have to pay the money. I have told the village leaders that the village secretary said that the township has not made a decision and it is difficult for him to collect our money. The village considers our difficulties, but we are in difficulties and we have to find a way to pay the money. These days, we have collected some money from below, and I am going to hand it over to the village."

Zhao Changhe looked at Zhou Tianhao, meaning that Zhou Tianhao had to say this.

Zhou Tianhao was in a dilemma. The county’s policies were clear, and under the current conditions, it was not convenient for him to express his opinion. However, Zhao Changhe came here and did not express his opposition clearly, which means he was acquiesced.

"Old man, I thank you on behalf of the village. Your life is too difficult. I think I should not pay the fundraising matter."

"Secretary Zhou, don't say that, otherwise it will hurt the hearts of 2,000 of us. The village has taken into account our relief, and the village has also helped us implement it. After the beginning of spring, a lot of food has been received, and we cannot always eat relief. We have to take out the money we should take..."

Several old men spoke up and said they had to pay the money.

Zhou Tianhao was in a dilemma. He looked at Zhao Changhe and stopped talking.

"Friends, Secretary Zhou thanked you on behalf of Shanqian Township just now. Now, on behalf of the county party committee, I thank you. Building a bridge is a major event for Shanqian Township and a major event for the whole county. Your life is so difficult, and you have considered paying the fundraising funds. We cannot refuse this intention. I think the village will accept it."

What he saw next made Zhao Changhe even more sad, especially when he saw some girls with a young expression who were still young, who had already married and took on the burden of the family. In the empty house, there was almost nothing valuable. Zhao Changhe sighed constantly.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tianhao and Tan Dongming accompanied Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming down the mountain.

Along the way, Zhao Changhe talked a lot. He said that he did not expect that the life of outsiders was so difficult. No one cared about it. No one asked. Zhou Tianhao only gave them some relief after he came. Such a situation could not be continued for a long time. Some girls who should have studied in school got married before they had experienced the true meaning of life. How could such families get rich? Because of the household registration restrictions, children cannot go to school and the next generation will be delayed. If no measures are taken, there will be more and more problems in the future.

When I returned to the township government, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. The township had already prepared a banquet. What Zhou Tianhao didn't expect was that Gu Changshun actually arranged his life in a restaurant opened by Gu Changgui.

Zhou Tianhao secretly told Cai Zhiming that life was arranged in a restaurant in the market town, and that restaurant was opened by Gu Changgui. Cai Zhiming certainly understood the meaning and whispered a few words with Zhao Changhe.

Just at this time, the township government canteen was also ready to have a meal, and Zhao Changhe smiled and spoke.

"It is said that the conditions in Shanqian Township are difficult, and the county cadres are unwilling to come here. Lao Cai, I see that we will go to the cafeteria to experience life and see how the cadres here live their daily lives."

Zhao Changhe said while walking towards the cafeteria. Zhou Tianhao followed Cai Zhiming and said that life had been arranged. Zhao Changhe glared at Zhou Tianhao.

"Xiao Zhou, you are planning to arrange for us to have dinner in the restaurant. In the past two days, I have seen so many poor households in the village and are still interested in eating in the restaurant. Well, go to the cafeteria to have dinner. After the meal, a meeting will be held in the evening, and all the members of the township team will participate."

At seven o'clock, the team meeting of Shanqian Township was held. Before the meeting, Zhao Changhe shook hands with all the team members and said that everyone had worked in Shanqian Township, thanks for their hard work.

On behalf of the township government, Zhou Tianhao reported on the work of Shanqian Township since the beginning of the year, focusing on the bridge repair and fundraising. Zhou Tianhao's report was not long. After that, he asked Gu Changshun if there was any supplement. Gu Changshun finally seized the opportunity and spoke, saying that the conditions in Shanqian Township are arduous, but everyone's work is hard and they will definitely build Shanqian Township better.

During Gu Changshun's speech, Zhao Changhe had no expression on his face, and he could not tell whether he had any opinions or his attitude.

Gu Changshun spoke for more than half an hour. After Gu Changshun finished speaking, Zhou Tianhao stopped asking for advice and asked Zhao Changhe and Cai Zhiming to give instructions.

Zhao Changhe looked at all the team members and spoke.

"The conditions in Shanqian Township are very difficult. This is what everyone knows. I went to the Swan Pool Management Area and went to Xiaba Village and Swan Pool Village. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw the situation of the poor households. The reasons for this poverty are many aspects, not the responsibility of anyone, but we are here to reverse this situation..."

"The traffic constraints are one of the biggest reasons. I heard that some people suggested building a floating bridge, thinking that the farmers in Shanqian Township are in difficulty and should not increase their burdens. They were worried this time, so they went down to take a look, but the actual situation was not like this. The farmers were very enthusiastic. They all knew that the bridge was built in the village for them. They had no objection to fundraising. Even if they sold their valuable things at home, even if they borrowed money, they had to pay the fundraising funds. In their opinion, it was a shame that they could not pay the fundraising funds..."

"What a great common people, we should think about it carefully. What should we do for them? The county party committee and county government will pay close attention to the matter of building bridges in Shanqian Township. I just need to start as soon as possible to ensure quality..."

When Zhao Changhe left Shanqian Township, he clearly told Zhou Tianhao that the matter of building a bridge must be well grasped and no accidents can occur. The bridge is too important to the people of Shanqian Township.
