Chapter 3893

~10 min read 1,983 words

The change of term work in Jiaoshi Village was carried out before the Spring Festival. At that time, the mountain road to Jiaoshi Village was still blocked by heavy snow, so it was difficult to enter or exit, and Su Xinghui was very busy, so he did not come here. Now the snow had melted, so Su Xinghui thought of coming here to take a look.

The new road to Jiaoshi Village had already been built. This new road was both wide and safe, and protective nets were installed on both sides of the road, and the vegetation on the mountain had also recovered to some extent, so now there was no need to worry about stones rolling down and smashing the car. That thrilling experience Su Xinghui had in Jiaoshi Village would never happen again.

This time Su Xinghui came to Jiaoshi Village, naturally through official channels. Laiping County Party Committee Secretary Tang Zhaohua and other county leaders all accompanied Su Xinghui to Jiaoshi Village.

In this change of term, the former Laiping County Party Committee Secretary Deng Shengcai could not continue to serve as the County Party Committee Secretary in Laiping County, but instead, Tang Zhaohua, the former Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, was parachuted into Laiping and succeeded to the post of County Party Committee Secretary.

This was also a very normal thing. The situation in Laiping County was so chaotic before, and Deng Shengcai, as the County Party Committee Secretary, was hard to blame. Other county leaders also bore certain responsibilities. At least they saw such a chaotic situation and did not report it to their superiors. Who could get away with it?

Therefore, in the change of term, Deng Shengcai was transferred to the city and appointed to a vacant position at the department level, while Tang Zhaohua became a County Party Committee Secretary.

Tang Zhaohua was once the Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, which was also a position with considerable real power and very high gold content. However, it was not so easy for him to directly succeed as the Director of the Organization Department in a few years because he was not the Executive Deputy Director. Therefore, coming down to serve a term as County Party Committee Secretary and having political achievements would make it easier to be promoted.

Tang Zhaohua did not get along very well with the Organization Department Director Nie Xingde, but he was now very close to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Qian Jianan, so Qian Jianan arranged him here.

Tang Zhaohua was naturally very familiar with Su Xinghui. When Su Xinghui came down, he sat in the same Ernest van with Su Xinghui, which was meant to accompany Su Xinghui.

Although Tang Zhaohua was now close to Qian Jianan and could be considered Qian Jianan's person, in any case, he did not dare to offend this great Mayor Su. Not to mention that the mayor was several levels higher than the County Party Committee Secretary, just saying that Su Xinghui's father-in-law's current position was enough to make him tilt his neck at a ninety-degree angle to look up. How could he, a small County Party Committee Secretary, dare to get involved in such a vortex?

Tang Zhaohua had been in Laiping for several months and could be considered quite familiar with Laiping. Along the way, he pointed out some recent changes in Laiping to Su Xinghui.

In fact, it had only been half a year since Su Xinghui last came to Laiping, and the changes in Laiping County were not big. However, the county seat could be considered to have had some changes. The urban construction work of the county seat had always been going on, and some infrastructure was also stronger than before. These could all be considered Tang Zhaohua's political achievements after taking office, so he naturally wanted to show them to Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui engaged in the economy and would never focus only on one place. For example, if he wanted to develop a city, besides the urban area, the county economy was also something he attached great importance to. Therefore, the development of Laiping County was also something Su Xinghui was concerned about.

Now the infrastructure construction in Laiping County had achieved initial results, and the urban construction work of the county seat was also getting better and better, which made Su Xinghui feel very gratified.

And for a village like Jiaoshi Village, the road had also been built, which made Su Xinghui even happier. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only after the road is built can the economy possibly develop.

Like Jiaoshi Village, some natural resources were still very rich. Before, the road here was not good, so these treasures could not be transported out. Now that the road was built, the economy here was still very promising.

The car drove on this road very steadily. Su Xinghui listened to Tang Zhaohua's report and nodded slightly, expressing affirmation.

Although Tang Zhaohua was close to Qian Jianan, this person was still very capable. He also started from the grassroots, worked his way up to positions like Deputy County Magistrate and Deputy County Party Committee Secretary, and later was transferred to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department to serve as Deputy Director. He had very practical work experience.

Su Xinghui had never had sectarian prejudices when looking at people. He did not deliberately cold-shoulder Tang Zhaohua just because he was Qian Jianan's person. On the contrary, Su Xinghui would affirm the areas where Tang Zhaohua did well. Such a broad mind was also the reason why Su Xinghui was more popular than Qian Jianan.

Ding Qingyong and Dong Ziqian, who accompanied them, also admired Su Xinghui to the point of prostration. They knew that if it were them, they would definitely not have such a broad mind. In the officialdom, although the organization had always emphasized not forming cliques or small hills, in reality, such things were everywhere. Who could be completely free of sectarian prejudices like this?

Since Ding Qingyong and Dong Ziqian had been following Su Xinghui for this period, they had also learned a lot from him. From how to conduct themselves to how to do things, they had too much to learn from Su Xinghui.

Tang Zhaohua was also very emotional. He had really never seen a leader like Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui's mind was truly too broad, and such a broad mind came from the strong self-confidence he possessed from the inside out. Tang Zhaohua even had some regrets: why did he get so close to Qian Jianan?

However, at that time, he was also unable to help himself. He worked in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and out of work needs, it was normal to be close to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. And he could be considered not to have suffered a loss. Being able to become this County Party Committee Secretary was inseparable from Qian Jianan. Therefore, this thought in Tang Zhaohua's mind only flashed by and was forcibly driven out of his mind.

Soon, the car arrived at Jiashan Village. The leaders of Anpei Township also followed the motorcade at the intersection of Anpei Township and came to Jiashan Village together.

The common people of Jiashan Village were already waiting at the entrance of the village. A group of children also stood at the intersection. They were wearing new clothes, with rouge on their faces, and wearing red scarves. As soon as they saw the motorcade arrive, they began to dance. They were dancing the enthusiastic and unrestrained Yangge dance, which was the local art of Linshan City, and men, women, old, and young all knew a few moves.

As soon as Su Xinghui saw this scene, his face darkened. He asked Zhai Yingjie to speed up. Zhai Yingjie silently sped up and then stopped steadily in front of those children.

Su Xinghui got out of the car and said to those children with a kind face, "Everyone stop dancing. The weather is quite cold. Everyone go back to school."

Those children were a bit at a loss. They stopped. Su Xinghui said sternly to the cadres in the township and village, "Who arranged this?"

The cadres in the township and village saw Su Xinghui's stern look and were all frightened, not knowing how to answer.

Tang Zhaohua also got out of the car and said to the cadres in the township and village, "Who arranged this? Don't you know that Mayor Su hates these formalities the most? In such cold weather, letting the children wait here for so long to welcome Mayor Su, do you have the heart?"

Tang Zhaohua had accompanied Su Xinghui to the county several times before. He knew that Su Xinghui hated using such children to welcome leaders, let alone in such cold weather. He was naturally afraid that Su Xinghui's impression of Laishan would be bad from now on, so he quickly criticized these cadres too.

In the group of children, a little boy of ten or so shouted, "Uncle Su, this is not their fault. It's because we knew you were coming today, Uncle Su, so we were willing to wait for you here!"

Su Xinghui looked at the little boy and found him a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but now his face was also painted with rouge, looking a bit different. He asked, "Little friend, you said this was voluntary by you all?"

The little boy said, "Yes, Uncle. My home is right next to the village committee. Last time you came, you beat those bad guys up and took them all away. I was watching from the side at that time. You were really too handsome. We children all admire you, so today when we heard you were coming, we were all here to welcome you. It's not their fault."

An old lady with white hair next to him said, "Yes, Mayor Su, it was indeed voluntary by them. My granddaughter is also among them. They all wanted to welcome you! They don't know how much they admire you."

This old lady was Li Jianguo's old mother. Su Xinghui looked out and saw that almost everyone in the village had come here, and there were many more than when he last came to Jiaoshi Village. This was because it had been less than a month since the Spring Festival, and many people who went out to work would stay at home for a longer period before going out to work again. Now it was not yet time for them to go out.

The common people said one after another, "Yes, Mayor Su, this was all voluntary by us. These are our own children. If it weren't for you coming, how could we bear to let them welcome leaders in such cold weather?"

"Mayor Su, we have been looking forward to you coming for a long time!"

"Mayor Su, you didn't eat at my house last time. This time you must eat a meal at my house. We have wild boar meat."

"Come to my house today, we have good dishes."

"We have good wine!"

Looking at these simple faces and listening to their simple words, Su Xinghui felt his throat choked by something.

He tried to calm his emotions and said, "Okay, okay, I will stay here for a meal today. Thank you all. But the weather is too cold. Everyone should take the children back and let them go back to school for class."

Hearing Su Xinghui say he would stay here for a meal, everyone was very happy, but they were still arguing endlessly about whose house Su Xinghui should eat at. It looked like they wouldn't reach a result even if they argued until midnight.
