The wind and rain outside the window, crackling and rushing rain, as if a late returnee knocked on the window, made the whole quiet night full of a bit of poetry.

Under the golden lamp, Lin Chendui was waving a pen on the lamp on the desk, raising his head from time to time and frowning to think about it, and then continued to write on the manuscript paper like a splash of ink.

This is his dormitory.

Since the vast majority of the cadres are locals, the township party committee and government do not have dormitories in the strict sense of the word, but at best they build a row of bungalows on the slope behind the township government, and the vast majority of them are assigned to single cadres working in the township. The size of the room is not large, and the layout is a little simple, except for a wooden bed, only a desk and chair in front of the window, and nothing else, the only electrical appliance, it is estimated that it can be regarded as the dim electric lamp. As for the kitchen and bathroom, they are all shared, located on the side of the dormitory, and the conditions cannot but be said to be difficult.

Because of this, Zeng Guoqiang, director of the Township Party and Government Comprehensive Office, that is, the middle-aged man with a big belly who Lin Chendui and Jiang Meixuan met at the door of the township government, was also apologetic when he took Lin Chendui to the dormitory, and apologized to him vigorously, saying that the conditions in the township were really limited, and he had wronged the head of the township. also tactfully suggested that Lin Chenwan could live in the only small hotel in the township first, and then find a way later. Although the conditions of the small hotel are not good, there is a separate bathroom, a shower to shower, and a TV with satellite signal to watch. Of course, the accommodation fee can be paid by the township "at its discretion".

To be honest, Lin Chenwan was indeed a little tempted at first.

What made him tempted was not that the township could pay for his accommodation. After selling the stock, he operated a few more orders in the stock market, although it was not comparable to the huge profits brought by the ST stock, but it was finally a small gain, and now he has more than ten tens of thousands in his hand. How much does it cost to have a hotel in this small town in the mountains? At best, twenty or thirty a day is the sky, not to mention the long-term contract, there can be discounts, and it won't cost a few dollars in a month. It's the dormitory in the township, the conditions are really bad, dark and damp, not to mention, the most unacceptable thing for him is the problem of bathing and going to the toilet. Although Lin Chenwan is not a cleanliness addict, he is also from a big city, and he still attaches great importance to personal hygiene.

However, this thought only swirled in his brain, and Lin Chenwan shook his head again and politely refused. If he does this special, he will naturally set himself against the local cadres, and if he wants to integrate into it in the future, it will be difficult. Therefore, he finally decided to live in the dormitory.

Zeng Guoqiang was surprised by Lin Chendui's decision, and used some exaggerated words to describe it, and his eyeballs almost didn't fall out. But immediately, he was still extremely enthusiastic to help Lin Chenwan pack his luggage, and took the initiative to bring Lin Chenwan a table lamp from home.

In the afternoon of the same day, the main leaders of the township were not there, and after Lin Chenwan settled down, he invited Jiang Meixuan to have a meal in the town, and after sending her away, he returned to the dormitory to pack up his things.

This night, Lin Chendui was on the hard wooden bed, listening to the insects and birds outside the window, tossing and turning and not falling asleep all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Guangquan, secretary of the township party committee, who had returned from going to the countryside, held a meeting of the township party committee and government team, and very solemnly introduced Lin Chenwei to everyone.

Liu Guangquan is over 50 years old this year, he is a thin old man, with gray hair, a dark face full of wrinkles, wearing a gray cloth coat, and a dry tobacco in his hand, looking no different from an old farmer in the mountains.

Unlike other secretaries in Lin Chendu's impression, Liu Guangquan didn't talk much, but he was sonorous and powerful, and his loud voice like Hong Zhong was extremely loud. And Tao Xingnan, another deputy secretary in charge of party building, always has a smile on his face, but a few hints of gloom flashed in his eyes from time to time, which made Lin Chenwan can't help but increase his vigilance in his heart.

Among the team members, in addition to Lin Chendu, there are four deputy township heads, namely Ma Jingming, the deputy township head in charge of agriculture, forestry and water conservancy; Li Hao, deputy head of the township in charge of industrial and commercial taxation and civil affairs; Feng Xiaohua, deputy head of the township in charge of judicial, land and foreign affairs, and Sun Rongyu, deputy head of the township in charge of culture, education and health. Among them, Sun Rongyu is the only female member, about thirty years old, petite, beautiful, the traces on the face of the melon seeds are a little heavier, and the dress is very fashionable and beautiful compared to others, which makes Lin Chendui's eyes shine. And Sun Rongyu also seemed to be very curious about Lin Chendui, the township chief in his twenties, and a pair of Danfeng eyes swirled on Lin Chendui from time to time.

After the meeting, it stands to reason that as soon as Lin Chenwan arrived, Liu Guangquan and other township leaders should hold a welcome banquet for him, but I don't know if Guantang Township is poor and financially tight, or it is different from the rules elsewhere, it seems that there is no such arrangement at all. However, Lin Chenwan didn't care about this, after the meeting, he went to his office to sit down, and after going to various offices for a while, he took the initiative to find Liu Guangquan, saying that he was going to go to various villages in the township for research and investigation.

Liu Guangquan was also taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Lin Chenwan carefully, and seemed to feel that this township chief, who was younger than his own son, didn't seem to have just come to gild. He immediately expressed his approval, but he gave Lin Chenwan a precautionary shot for the actual difficulties.

Because it is located in the depths of the mountains, many natural villages in Guantang Township are located in the endless mountains, the roads are not smooth, more than half of the villages are not open to traffic at all, and there are several villages, the terrain is dangerous, only through the rugged mountain roads, just walking, it takes more than half a day to arrive. Liu Guangquan was afraid that Lin Chenwan was on a whim, and after really seeing these difficulties, he would retreat.

However, Lin Chendui's perseverance was obviously beyond his imagination, and the next day, Lin Chendui found a staff member who was familiar with the situation from the township government, rode a bicycle with him, and set off with straw hats and dry food. For almost a month, nothing was done, all of which was spent on these researches. Almost every village arrived, with a great deal of first-hand information. After returning to the dormitory, Lin Chenwan immediately drafted the relevant ideas for local economic development after more than half a month of field investigation and research.

The longer the research, the heavier Lin Chendu's mood became. He never imagined that there would be such a poor place in Dongping, where every family is surrounded by walls, although it is not like in film and television works, the family wears a pair of pants, but most of the clothes are patched, and he has not seen anyone wearing neat clothes, as if he has been forgotten by the outside world. These days, he has traveled from village to village, and he has not eaten a few good meals. The village cadres also tried their best to show him, and even killed the old hen that laid eggs, but Lin Chenwan really couldn't bear to take a bite. The longing in the eyes of those salivating children made him feel very uncomfortable.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Lin Chenwan stretched a big lazy waist, and then stood up from the seat. Looking at the time, I couldn't help but be startled, and before I knew it, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Pushing open the window, a rumbling thunder came in, followed by the evening breeze with rain stars, bringing a burst of refreshment.

Lin Chenwan picked up the manuscript on the table again and read it carefully, and felt that there was no problem, so he carefully put it in his briefcase. Of course, these are only preliminary assumptions, and further research is needed to determine whether they can be implemented. Lin Chenwan has already thought about it, and when he has time, he is also ready to invite some experts from his alma mater, as well as provinces and cities to come to Guantang to have a look and give advice. If Guantang wants to develop, it will definitely not work if it continues to follow the current model.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

At first, Lin Chenwan didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was the rain knocking on the door, but soon he realized that someone was indeed knocking on the door.

It's so late and it's raining so hard, who's going to knock on the door?

Lin Chendui was puzzled, and hurriedly walked over and opened the door.

There was a figure standing outside the door, wrapped in a tight raincoat that was dripping rain from the ground. With the faint light in the room, Lin Chendui couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the appearance of the person coming, and said in surprise: "Secretary Liu, why are you here?" ”

"Why, I can't come and see you?" Liu Guangquan didn't wait for Lin Chendui to say please, so he went into the house by himself, took off his raincoat, wiped the rain on his face, and said, "I saw the light in your house on, and I knew you were back." Why, haven't you eaten yet? I asked my mother-in-law to cook you some noodles and you eat them while they're hot. ”

At this time, Lin Chenwan noticed that Liu Guangquan was still carrying an insulated lunch box in his hand, although it was ordinary, but his heart suddenly seemed to be surrounded by huge warmth.

People in the town rest early, and soon after dark, they close their doors and close their doors, unlike the convenience of shopping in big cities, Lin Chendui was already hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, and after thanking him, he took it and devoured it. The noodles are very ordinary, there is not much oil and water, and there are green onions and a few drops of sesame oil floating on them, and they smell fragrant. Lin Chenwan has grown so big and eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, but this bowl of noodles made him feel unforgettable.

"How does it feel to be out all these days?" Liu Guangquan sat aside, lit his dry tobacco pouch again, and smoked it with a chirp, raising his head and asking.

After more than 20 days of running, Lin Chendui is obviously darker and thinner than when he first came, but there is a kind of ability all over his body, which also makes Liu Guangquan impressed. At the beginning, when he learned that the boss had sent a young man in his twenties to join his team, he was very dissatisfied and annoyed, and he once complained: "Green hook doll, what do you know?" Steward? It seems to me that being an old lady is about the same. If it weren't for the county leaders who repeatedly did his job, he would have been able to return a long time ago. However, Lin Chendu's performance greatly exceeded his expectations, from not going out to live in a hotel to sinking down to do research, which made Liu Guangquan feel refreshed.

"Well, maybe this baby is really a person who does things." Liu Guang thought so in his heart.
