Chapter 1897
Su Xinghui naturally didn't know that this middle-aged man in front of him who was smiling and looked no different from other organization cadres actually had a very bad impression of him. He also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Director Jiang, I am Su Xinghui."
Jiang Danian said, "Why are you in such a hurry to report? You could have stayed at home for a few more days and accompanied your wife and child."
Su Xinghui said, "I want to go to the county early to see the situation, so I can enter the working state early."
Jiang Danian said appreciatively, "County Magistrate Su's work attitude is worth affirming!"
Su Xinghui said, "Director Jiang, you overstate it."
Jiang Danian then asked the staff to process the procedures for Su Xinghui. Hearing Su Xinghui say he wanted to go to Chongjin County immediately, he was too lazy to keep him, so he sent Jin Yaming, the section chief of the Cadre Section, to take Su Xinghui to Chongjin County.
The terrain of Jiangyou Province was generally surrounded by mountains on the east, west, and south, bordering the river in the north, with a basin in the middle, and a large lake, Yanglan Lake. Therefore, Su Xinghui's journey from Hongzhou to Chongjin County, more than 200 kilometers, was basically all plains. The road was not as dangerous as mountain roads. Of course, this highway had been around for a long time, and the current road conditions were not too good, so there was quite a bit of jolting on the road.
It was fine from Hongzhou to Chengshui City. Ke Zhifang sent an Audi to take him. The shock absorption of the Audi was beyond words. The Santana sent by Chengshui City to take Su Xinghui was quite old, so it was jolting enough.
Su Xinghui had good physical fitness and was indifferent to such jolting. He was also watching the scenery outside the window with great interest.
Hongzhou was to the southwest of Yanglan Lake, Chengshui City was to the northwest of Yanglan Lake, and Chongjin County was to the north of Yanglan Lake, to the northeast of Chengshui City. Along the way, they walked on the lake embankment road along the lake, and they could see Yanglan Lake directly from the car window.
Yanglan Lake was a famous large lake with an area of thousands of square kilometers. Looking out from the car window, the scenery was extremely beautiful.
The lake surface was sparkling. It was near noon, and ten thousand golden lights were sprinkled on the lake surface, reflecting dots of golden scales. The lake water was so clear that it could almost be seen to the bottom, and fish could be seen swimming happily in the water.
There were quite a few fishing boats crisscrossing on the lake surface. These were fishermen catching fish. There were also quite a few water birds resting on the shoals by the lake, including quite a few beautiful white swans, as well as quite a few other precious water birds. What a beautiful picture of harmony between man and nature.
Su Xinghui was looking out the window when he heard Jin Yaming say, "County Magistrate Su, have you been to our Chengshui City before?"
Su Xinghui turned his head to look at Jin Yaming and shook his head, saying, "This is my first time here."
Jin Yaming smiled and said, "The scenery here is not bad, right?"
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "It's quite good. I didn't expect there to be white swans here."
Jin Yaming said, "There are quite a lot of white swans here. I estimate you will be able to eat them today."
Able to eat them? Su Xinghui was shocked. These white swans were national second-class protected animals. Who dared to eat them?
He looked at Jin Yaming and saw that he had an indifferent look, as if eating white swans was the most ordinary thing. It seemed that he hadn't eaten few white swans.
Jin Yaming began to talk with great relish: "County Magistrate Su, you came just in time. Now is the season for white swans to fly over from the north. You really have a mouth for food. If you had come a few days earlier, the white swans wouldn't have flown over yet. What you see now is the first batch of white swans to fly over."
Su Xinghui was silent. He didn't expect that he hadn't arrived in Chongjin County yet, and he had already seen this scene that he didn't want to see. Even eating white swans, the people here were really bold!
But this was also a matter of no choice. The more economically backward the place, the more lax the law and discipline. Not to mention eating a few protected animals, even more outrageous things they could do.
Su Xinghui couldn't help but think of the scene he saw when he first went to Changshan County—that table of wild animals was so similar to the scene here! Later, through his own efforts, he finally reversed the trend of eating wild animals in Changshan County. He hoped that in Chongjin County, he could also reverse such a trend.
Su Xinghui asked, "Section Chief Jin, is the meat of the white swan delicious?"
Jin Yaming said, "I think the meat of the white swan tastes similar to the meat of the domestic goose, and it's not as tender as the meat of the domestic goose, but it's more chewy. People with good teeth find it quite good to eat, but my teeth are not good, so I can't eat a few pieces."
Su Xinghui said, "Since the meat of the white swan tastes similar to the meat of the domestic goose, why must one eat the meat of the white swan?"
