Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

When Chu Jianghe took Reporter Xu and the others back to Xiaohe Village, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Nowadays, transportation is not convenient. Unlike the high-speed rail and airplanes in later generations, you can reach your destination directly by driving a car on the highway.

Xiaohe Village is almost [-] kilometers away from the capital. The trains these days are still green trains, which are very slow. The journey takes eight or nine hours, which is normal.

Reporter Xu was tired from traveling all the way. Although he was still thinking about the contents of Chu Jianghe's notebook, he made the bed and lay down on it. He still couldn't bear the fatigue on his body and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark.

I went out to find a place to wash my face, sober up, and then sat down at the desk and picked up a book and started reading.

Unexpectedly, the blank space in this book was filled with words. Judging from the handwriting, it should be Secretary Chu's notes while studying.

Although I don't know much about the economy and it seems to be very difficult, it can be seen from the reading notes that Secretary Chu is very serious about studying.

Could it be that the content in today's notebook is really what Secretary Chu thought and wrote?

In Xu Chunyan's mind, Chu Jianghe's face with a very comfortable smile could not help but appear.

At the same time, I secretly made up my mind to explore the true nature of this guy in the next two days.

After a while, I heard Chu Jianghe talking outside, and then came to the door of the west wing.

"Reporter Xu, can I come in?"

"Please come in."

As the door opened with a creak, Chu Jianghe was seen holding an aluminum lunch box in his hand, raising it to signal to Xu Chunyan.

"Reporter Xu must be hungry. No one answered the door just now. I knew you were exhausted from the journey, so I took the food back and heated it up. What I just brought back, please eat it while it's hot."

Xu Chunyan smiled and took the lunch box, feeling warm in her heart at Chu Jianghe's thoughtful gesture.

At the same time, I was also reflecting on myself, whether I was a little harsh on Secretary Chu.

I can't look down on others just because he is a grassroots cadre in a small place.

"Thank you, Secretary Chu. I'm really hungry."

As a reporter, Xu Chunyan often interacts with people, and she is not a shy person by temperament, so she spoke openly.

When she opened the lunch box, even she was a little surprised to see that the lunch box was filled with a layer of vegetables.

There are chicken legs, braised pork, and even mutton stir-fried with green onions. They are all meat dishes, and they shine brightly under the dim light.

There is also a layer of white rice on the bottom, which makes people want to eat just looking at it.

Seeing the food and smelling the aroma coming out of the lunch box immediately brought out the greedy food in her stomach.

Xu Chunyan said a little embarrassedly: "Secretary Chu, this... this is too expensive."

Every time she goes on a business trip to the countryside, she is prepared to endure hardships.

Although she knew that wherever she went, she would not be treated badly and would be treated according to the highest local standards.

But the rural areas are not rich now. This is the first time I have encountered such a sumptuous dinner.

Chu Jianghe said with a smile: "Reporter Xu, it's just a coincidence that the food at home happened to be improved, so I served you some. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold. Don't worry about Reporter Guo. I'll tell you Same standard."

These things were all given by Zhang Li. Ever since I gave him some ideas, this guy has been sending things to his house every now and then.

It just so happened that Chu Jianghe also had an idea to improve his family's conditions. Besides, his ideas were much more valuable than the things he gave him, so he accepted them calmly.

The weather is getting warmer now, and his house doesn't have a refrigerator. Why don't you finish the good stuff quickly and throw it away when it gets spoiled?

So what he said to reporter Xu is not wrong.

"OK then."

When Reporter Xu heard what Chu Jianghe said, she started to enjoy the food. The food was no worse than the food she had in the capital.

Well, the braised pork is also fragrant, and the mutton stir-fried with green onions is also good...

Chu Jianghe saw that she was enjoying the meal, so he didn't sit there for long and left.

……

The next day, Xu Chunyan got up early.

After washing up, I left the door of the brigade headquarters.

She also wanted to ask what kind of image Chu Jianghe was in the hearts of the members of Xiaohe Village.

Opposite the brigade headquarters is the school's construction site. It's still early and it's not time to start construction yet, but there are already a few people sitting there chatting.

The old men in the village naturally spoke in a non-vegetarian manner and burst out laughing when they talked about something happy.

Xu Chunyan walked forward with a sweet smile and said, "Good morning, fellow villagers."

The few people who were still chatting stopped and looked awkwardly at Xu Chunyan, who was smiling and smiling.

As soon as this young girl looked at her dress, she knew she was from the city. She looked just different from the girls in the village.

Yesterday I heard that Secretary Chu picked up two people from the county and arranged them to the brigade headquarters. It seems that this is the person in front of me.

Xu Chunyan has been on business trips many times, so she naturally knows how to deal with these simple men.

He also didn’t identify himself as a reporter. As soon as he said it, these men would become even more vigilant.

It's like having a family affair, first getting close to these simple rural men.

After these men became familiar with her and relaxed, they began to ask questions of their own. Of course, there were techniques for questioning.

These simple rural men have never chatted with girls in the city.

I was a little overwhelmed at first, but as we chatted, I relaxed and answered all her questions very positively.

"Brother, I think the school we are planning to build in our village is not small. I have never seen such a big school in other villages."

"That's right, but if you look at the entire Changnian Town, who can match the style of the school in our village? We want to build a three-story building, so high!"

This man looked proud and made a gesture to Xu Chunyan.

"Then it will cost a lot of money to build this school, right? Will all the money be collected by the members?"

Another person said: "Where do we have money? This is all money provided by our village."

Xu Chunyan looked at their patched clothes and asked again: "I don't think our lives are rich, so why are we willing to build such a good school?"

These people were pricked by her eyes, but some people still answered: "Secretary Chu has said that we must pay attention to education and let the children learn knowledge well in the future and become a capable person like Secretary Chu."

We cannot say that rural people are short-sighted and did not have enough to eat a few years ago. If we educate them, will they listen?

If you don't even have enough to eat, why should you go to school? If you let the children drop out of school early and go home to help, you can earn a few more work points.

Seeing that life is getting better day by day, I have hope, and then I start to pursue other things.

It is not unreasonable to know the etiquette from the warehouse.

Xu Chunyan did not expect that the importance of education would be so deeply rooted in the people of Xiaohe Village. This was something she could hardly see in other villages.

Xu Chunyan then asked a few other questions, such as the brick factory in the village and the pig farm in the village.

The answer he got was similar to what Chu Jianghe told himself.

It's just that what Chu Jianghe said to himself was more general, and they all said one sentence to the other, and they needed to piece it together by themselves to get the complete information.

Finally, Xu Chunyan finally asked the question that she particularly wanted to ask.

"Then what kind of person do you think Secretary Chu is?"
