The car bumped on the road. Chen Zhigang was driving. He Wei, secretary of the Qilihe Party and Government Office, was sitting in the passenger seat and Cao Rui was sitting in the back.

He Wei turned his head and glanced behind him, and found that Cao Rui had his eyes slightly closed and seemed to be taking a nap. He Wei said cautiously: "Secretary, which way are we going?"

Cao Rui opened his eyes and said:

"Zhigang, He Wei, you are both locals from Qilihe. Qilihe Town covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers and has a total of [-] administrative villages. Can we visit all these villages today! We don't need to disturb the villages. Just take a quick look at it..."

He Wei and Chen Zhigang were shocked and looked at each other. Chen Zhigang said:

"Secretary, I'm afraid it will take a whole day to run this lap!"

Cao Rui said: "Let's go for a run first and plan the route. If we can't finish today, we still have tomorrow..."

Chen Zhigang didn't dare to say anything else, so he drove along the gravel road. He Wei thought that there were some poor roads in several villages and she didn't know if she could reach her destination today.

Cao Rui has been working as secretary in Qilihe Town for more than half a month. Everyone knows that Secretary Cao is under great pressure.

On the one hand, the problem of grassroots organization construction in Qilihe Town is now highlighted. Taohuapu is taking the lead, and Sanmutang Village and Qilihe Village are also ready to move behind. In addition, there are also problems with unity within the town government, and the mayor, Qin Ke, has made some mistakes.

But Secretary Cao still has the ability. In half a month, he has raised millions of dollars from above. In addition, the renovation of the town government dormitory and courtyard has officially begun. Anyway, the young cadres in the town have felt it. An atmosphere of positivity and progress.

He Wei himself is from Qilihe Town. After graduating from technical secondary school, he was assigned to work at the livestock station. After Cao Rui came, he reassigned the young cadres and He Wei was transferred to the town government office.

In terms of age, Cao Rui is only three or four years older than him, so he is basically the same age. He Wei admires Cao Rui for being able to become the top leader in the town at such a young age.

Qilihe Town is a large area, and it is full of mountains. Once you climb one mountain, there is another mountain. Often there is a mountain between villages. Anyway, after entering, you will climb over mountains and ridges, and you will feel like you are wrapped in the mountains.

Chen Zhigang drove to each village and stopped for a while. Cao Rui took a look, walked around, chatted with fellow villagers, and then rushed to the next village. He Wei suddenly turned to Cao Rui and said:

"Secretary, we will go to Taohuapu in the next village! This section of the road is very dangerous!"

Cao Rui nodded. He had been to Peach Blossom Shop and Xu Aimin's house. However, when he lowered the car window a little, he saw a completely different scenery outside. Here were steep peaks, rugged rocks, and cars. On a gravel road, outside the road is a cliff with endless depths.

Cao Rui took a look and felt a chill in his heart. He had grown up in the county town. Where had he ever seen such an exciting and dangerous road?

The car moved forward slowly. The road was dangerous and sharp, especially when turning. Cao Rui was really sweating for the driver. He walked down from the top of the mountain and slowly walked to the foot of the mountain. His eyes suddenly went dark.

Cao Rui looked up and saw that the car had actually entered a stone cave. The stone cave passed through forty or fifty meters. After passing through it, when his eyes lit up again, he suddenly became enlightened.

Looking outside again, the scenery has completely changed. Through the window, what I can see is endless fields. They are not completely flat, but like steps, not the kind of terraced fields. It is very unique.

Houses stand on this staircase-like land, either clustered in a group or arranged in a line. There are houses with brick structures, houses with wooden structures, new houses and old houses, but no matter what kind of house, there are Strong ethnic customs.

There is a stream in Taohuapu. The elders say "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom Pu", which means that the stream in Taohuapu is almost ten miles long. Follow the stream all the way up, and the terrain will get higher and higher until you reach the uppermost stream of the stream. It is like reaching a mountain. Halfway up the mountain, a dam was built artificially. Behind the dam is a winding reservoir.

There are four words "Peach Blossom Reservoir" on the reservoir embankment. Cao Rui stood on the reservoir embankment, overlooking the villages below. It was a bleak winter, and there was a peaceful and beautiful scenery as far as the eye could see. Cao Rui was really drunk.

He waved He Wei over and asked, "He Wei, you said this is the Peach Blossom Shop. I've been to Chairman Xu's house. Why isn't it this way?"

He Weidao: "Chairman Xu is from the back mountain. This is the front mountain. The front mountain is the real Taohuapu. The back mountain used to be where Xu Jiashan merged with the village!"

Cao Rui nodded, subconsciously thinking of what Qin Ke said, "Poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people." He couldn't help but ask: Is this a poor mountain and bad water? Shili Peach Blossom Shop This was the first time in his life that Cao Rui saw such beautiful scenery that made him obsessed.

Are all the people living in this kind of place really unruly? Cao Rui would never admit it anyway.

He thought that as the secretary of the town party committee, he had never even seen the true face of Peach Blossom Shop, so what qualifications did he have to call the people here "unruly people"?

After all, the work is still not done meticulously. It can even be said that the work method is simple and crude. It does not really take root among the masses and does not really listen to the demands and wishes of the people. Otherwise, how could there be such a grassroots level that can resist the town government? What about the will?

"He Wei, tell me why the election issue in Taohuapu has never been resolved?" Cao Rui said.

He Wei was shocked and nervous, not knowing what to say.

He used to be in charge of animal husbandry and was not very familiar with village elections. Cao Rui said: "Don't be nervous, just say whatever you think. We are just chatting, not an exam..."

He Weidao:

"Secretary, people in the mountains have a narrow way out, and they need people to do anything big. As far as the situation in Taohuapu is concerned, Peng Dakun was a bricklayer, and now he is contracting projects, and many people in the village work with him.

There are interests involved, so no one dares to offend him. This is the reason why Peng Dakun has high prestige in the village..."

He Wei paused and then said: "Yang Qifu is a pig butcher. Pig raising is the most important economic income for the people in the village. The pigs raised by the people depend on Yang Qifu for trafficking, so Yang Qifu can also speak in the village. He and Both Peng Dakun and Peach Blossom Shop are talented people!"

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment, clapped his hands and said:

"He Wei, you said it well. I have listened to so many cadre reports, and no one has spoken as clearly and thoroughly as you."

He Wei's face turned red, but he was very happy in his heart. He felt that there was always something positive about working with the secretary, which made him feel that he had to work hard.
