Chapter 329

Lu Zhenghong nodded, "Good, good, good!"

He turned to everyone and said, "Don't underestimate this beautiful girl. She is a bamboo-weaving craft master. A bamboo-weaving painting she weaves can sell for more than a thousand yuan. She can weave one in less than a month. This is much higher than our salary."

The regional and county leaders behind couldn't help but be in an uproar. According to this price and speed, this little girl's monthly income is several times higher than their salary.

Xia Zhu said quickly, "Uncle Lu, I can't be considered a craft master yet."

Lu Zhenghong said, "Your Aunt Song saw the 'Bamboo Township Autumn Rhyme' painting you wove last time, and she said you have already reached the standard of a craft master."

Lu Zhenghong's words made Xia Zhu both happy and a bit embarrassed.

Lu Zhenghong said to those behind him again, "Xia Zhu not only weaves bamboo-weaving paintings well herself, but she is also responsible for teaching others in the village's bamboo-weaving factory. Now the output value created by their bamboo-weaving factory every month is at least ten or twenty thousand. This number is still increasing every month. This is all created by these women. Isn't it amazing?"

For such a small village, it is really not easy for these women to create an output value of ten or twenty thousand a month. In many villages, women can only be called semi-laborers. It's not bad if the value they create can reach half of that of men, but the value created by the women here is more than that of men in many places.

Like Xia Zhu, the value she creates is worth several people who receive a salary.

Therefore, these people all nodded in agreement. This time, they were also convinced.

Lu Zhenghong asked Xia Zhu again, "Xia Zhu, is your father okay now?"

Xia Zhu nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Lu. My father's situation is getting better and better. The doctor said he can throw away his crutches after resting for another year or two."

Lu Zhenghong laughed heartily, "Good, good, good, that's good!"

After saying a few words to Qu Ziqing and the others, Qu Ziqing said, "Secretary-General Lu, go do your work, we are going to sketch."

Lu Zhenghong nodded, "Then you go."

After saying goodbye, Lu Zhenghong went to the village to wander around. He went to the home of the two old people he visited last time. He saw a pair of bright red spring couplets posted in front of their door. Walking into the house, the walls had been whitewashed, and it looked much brighter than last time.

The two old people were sitting on chairs, and they looked much healthier than last time. Seeing people enter their home, they stood up quickly.

Lu Zhenghong said, "Old people, sit down. Do you still recognize me?"

The two old people shook their heads blankly. Lu Zhenghong also knew that when he came last time, the light in this room was not very good, and the two old people were old, and their eyesight was not very good, so it was normal for them not to recognize him.

He asked with a smile, "How is your life this year?"

The expression on the old man's face became vivid. He nodded and said, "Thanks to the Communist Party, thanks to Township Head Su, our life is much better now."

Lu Zhenghong sat down and chatted with him. It turned out that one of the old man's two sons worked in the breeding farm, and one worked in the nursery base, both having salaries. The two daughters-in-law, besides tending to their own few acres of thin land, were weaving bamboo, and could also earn money.

Now their family's monthly income is three or four hundred, and the village also distributed dividends during the New Year, which made them have a good New Year. Their illness is also much better, because the family has money, and the son bought them medicine.

Their family, this New Year, made a set of new clothes for everyone for the first time in history.

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Lu Zhenghong and the people behind him suspiciously and said, "Which cadres are you?"

Fang Youcai said, "This is the provincial..."

Lu Zhenghong turned and made a gesture, stopping Fang Youcai's words, and then said to the old man, "I am just an ordinary state cadre, sent by the province to see everyone's current living situation and see if there are any difficulties."

The old man said, "We have no difficulties now."

Lu Zhenghong looked at the old man's appearance and smiled with relief.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Lu Zhenghong looked around at other families in the village, asked about some situations, then left Yezhugou Village and went to the next village.

In the car, Lu Zhenghong said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, you have done a very good job!"

Su Xinghui said, "This is what I should do."

Lu Zhenghong nodded, "That's what you say, but there are not many cadres who can do the things that should be done! If everyone could do the things that should be done well, what else would our country be afraid of now?"

Su Xinghui was silent. This topic was too big, and he couldn't discuss it with Lu Zhenghong yet.

Subsequently, Lu Zhenghong went to a few more villages to take a look. These villages were mainly engaged in Chinese medicinal herb planting and fruit tree planting. Now the seeds have sprouted, the seedlings have been planted, and it is a scene of flourishing, which made Lu Zhenghong very happy.

Lu Zhenghong also focused on looking at the reading rooms of these villages. He found that the bookshelves in the reading rooms of these villages were the same bamboo bookshelves as in Yezhugou Village, and asked with great interest what was going on.

Su Xinghui told him that this was the bookshelf provided free of charge by Yezhugou Village to other villages.

Lu Zhenghong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Yezhugou Village is a village that became rich first. Being able to take the initiative to provide some help to other villages after they became rich is very rare.

At noon, Lu Zhenghong and his party had a working meal at the township government. After eating, they only rested for a dozen minutes, then looked at a few more villages in the afternoon, and then held a symposium in the township government conference room.

This symposium was mainly to let the accompanying officials talk about their feelings after visiting Meng Hu Ling Township today. These officials naturally gave high praise to the achievements made by Meng Hu Ling Township.

Finally, it was Lu Zhenghong's concluding remarks. He gave very high praise to the achievements made by Meng Hu Ling Township in agricultural reform. He believed that Meng Hu Ling's successful experience and model could be promoted to the whole province, setting off a wave of agricultural reform in the whole province.

Subsequently, Lu Zhenghong asked the relevant personnel of Meng Hu Ling Township if there were any difficulties in their work, and if they needed support from the province, they could bring it up.

Chen Hongfu signaled Su Xinghui to answer this question. Su Xinghui said that other difficulties were nothing, mainly to contact some processing enterprises to invest and build factories in Meng Hu Ling, and truly establish and improve the industrial chain of agricultural industrialization.

After hearing this, Lu Zhenghong nodded and said that the province would consider this issue and introduce some preferential policies to encourage enterprises in this area to come to Meng Hu Ling to invest and build factories.

After the symposium, it was already nearly 6:00 PM. Lu Zhenghong and his party got in the car and left Meng Hu Ling. They were going back to Shangjun County for dinner, then stay in Shangjun County for another night, and return to Jiangcheng tomorrow morning.
