Power and Wealth

A few days later.

The wind and the sari one morning.

Dong Xuebin drove all the way to stop and finally arrived at the place where he was about to take office after three days according to the map. Since he was only a few days away from his appointment, Dong Xuebin did not intend to go to the city to report now. Instead, he was prepared to take a walk with the county, familiarize himself with the environment and feel the local culture and atmosphere so that he could work here in the future.

The roads are very turbulent, they are all big dirt roads, the feeling of pits and slumps.

Fortunately, the Land Rover's off-road surname can be one of the top names in the world, let alone the land, that is, the desert.

I saw a man on the side of the road, Dong Xuebin immediately stopped the car.

Out of the car, Dong Xuebin immediately said: "Old town, may I ask, how do you want to go in Xishui County? ”

“Ah?” He looked at him in the township where he was burdened. He mumbled and mumbled. Dong Xuebin could not understand a single word.

Dong Xuebin had to swallow it again and again, "Sir, do you know where to go in Shuishui County? Which way? ”

The old township used a local accent. It was estimated that he could understand what Dong Xuebin said, but Dong Xuebin could not understand him. Communication was very problematic. Not surprisingly, this is a remote mountainous area, or a western one, where accents are very different from those of the North, and the elderly, who probably don't speak Mandarin. After half a day of not understanding, Dong Xuebin stopped asking. After thanking the old man, he found another young man passing by.

“Brother.” said Dong Xuebin. “Do you know how to get to Xinshui County? ”

“Pushui County?” The young man looked at him skeptically, "here it is.” Despite his heavy accent, Dong Xuebin could barely understand it.

“Here?” Dong Xuebin stunned. “What about the county? Is it still far? ”

The young man graciously pointed to the distance, “Just past the mountain, not far away. ”

“Well, thank you very much.” Knowing the way, Dong Xuebin got back in the car.

Dong Xuebin has never had much concept of a poor county at the national level, because he never touched it. Although Yantai County was also a poor county, Dong Xuebin now realizes that the poor county at the municipal level is too far apart from the national level. On this road Dong Xuebin hardly saw any sedans, let alone private sedans. Apart from trucks and vans, he can't even see bicycles, the most is the kind of agricultural tractor, then surrounded by endless farmland, a feeling of desolation. So jointly, Dong Xuebin, a road rocker worth 4 million, is also extremely remarkable. Almost everyone who passes by will look at the car, but Dong Xuebin estimated that they do not recognize the value of the car. In this case, even a 200,000 wide copy of the car is estimated to be paying attention.

What a choke!

This is a poor county at national level??

Dong Xuebin's emotions deepened as he moved in the direction of the county.

Fortunately, after entering the county after this mountain, Dong Xuebin finally saw some popularity, and some compact cars were driving in the middle of the road, but let alone Beijing, that is, compared to Yantai County, where Dong Xuebin used to work, there are few poor people and few cars. Even in places like Huitan Township, there are more cars running in the countryside than in Xinshui County. In this regard, Dong Xuebin also sees the general situation in Xinshui County, if there is only one word to describe it - poverty!

And it's too poor!

A tall building? You can't even see this way!

Residential block? If the neighborhoods don't even have gates, then so be it!

Dong Xuebin only learned for the first time that a poor county at the national level was like this. Even a village in Fenzhou City is a little stronger than this, I'm afraid??

How could you be so backward?

Dong Xuebin even had the feeling that it was still in the Republic.

No wonder, Dong Xuebin was born in Beijing, although his family conditions are not very good, but it is also the capital. Even the remote suburban county is not close to where to go, then went to work in Fenzhou city, and has not caught up with such a place, so Dong Xuebin is really a little bit uncomfortable.

This is definitely a challenge for him.

But it doesn't matter if there is a challenge, Dong Xuebin never cares about this!

When Dad died, Dong Xuebin and his mother ate years apart, suffering? Dong Xuebin ate!

Driving in the county, Dong Xuebin walked and took a look.

Urban construction?

A poor standard of living!

There's no way out of here! A lot of places are cracked!

Dong Xuebin sighed, knowing that even in poor counties at the national level, he was estimated to be the last few dozen places, it was too poor. Dong Xuebin was somewhat impressed with his foresight. If he drove his own Porsche sports car, he would not say that he could not reach Qishui County on the road, he would run with Qishui County in the city. He was probably choked enough, and there seemed to be no money here to repair the road.

Forget it, don't look.

See, that's how it is.

Dong Xuebin had about a bottom in his heart. After driving around, he directly found a pretty good neighborhood. After communicating with the property, he paid a parking space in cash, paid a year's worth of money, and parked the Land Rover in the underground parking lot of the community. Generally, residents who are not residents of a neighborhood in Jingcheng or Fenzhou City will not be able to provide property certificates, but unlike here, it's only a thousand dollars a year and they sell it just to pay for it. The reason for parking the Land Rover here, Dong Xuebin is still considering the impact problem. This place is too poor. He has driven a 4 million off-road car since he first took office. It's a little bit of that. Dong Xuebin listened to Uncle Yang, he has no background here, but keep a low profile.

That's enough.

Find a place for breakfast.

Out of the district, Dong Xuebin was ready to take a taxi, but it took him 20 minutes to see a car passing by. Dong Xuebin shook his head helplessly, knowing that his psychological state had not changed. In such a poor county, of course, there could not be too many taxis, even if everyone could not afford them, so Dong Xuebin had to walk north to find a place for breakfast along the street.

Front.

A small stall on the street should be blindfolded.

Dong Xuebin glanced, his stomach grunted and he immediately walked over.

In the spring, the temperature difference here was slightly higher day and night, but it was not cold during the day. Dong Xuebin sat at a table on the street and shouted to the inside: “Come bowl of tofu brain. ”

“Ah?” said the boss.

“Uh, no tofu brain?” Dong Xuebin Dao.

The boss shook his head, "No. ”

“Well, the oil bar.” Dong Xuebin retreated and asked for the second.

“Neither are the gas bars.” Boss, look at him. "You Northerners, right? ”

“Yes.” asked Dong Xuebin. “What do you have here? ”

“'Milk, cooked eggs, buns,' said the boss. ”

Dong Xuebin sweated, “Here's a bowl of milk, two cooked eggs, thanks. ”

The milk here is very pure, it's not the kind of water exchanged in the big northern cities. Although the eggs are not tea eggs, the scented spray is also quite delicious. Dong Xuebin took two bites and thought it was not bad. At the end of the checkout, he found that the stuff here was just too cheap. The consumption level is almost one-third that of Beijing City, and even cheaper. One bowl of milk and two eggs is just over a dollar.

The boss looked for his money and said, “Boy, what are you doing up here? We rarely have foreigners here, and you don't look like a tourist. Besides, who's traveling here? I don't think you're gonna pass by. You're here to work, right? ”

Dong Xuebin smiled, “Yes, I'm here to work. ”

The boss said, "Are you offended? Sent you an assignment? ”

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, “No, it's just the usual move. ”

The boss sighed: "Well, you've come to the wrong place. Our county is poor, nothing. You have no place to spend your money here. Which factory do you work for? How many factories do we count here, fur factories? Livestock? ”

Dong Xuebin didn't say, hey, smile, “I think it's okay here, it's quite workout. ”

“You won't feel that way in the future, but who else would run back if you had some skills to go out to work or move out to work?” The boss was emotional.

Dong Xuebin blinded his eyes and wanted to talk to him for a while. "Your last name? ”

“My name is Yao. ”

“I'll call you Uncle Yao. ”

“I hear your accent. Why does it look like it belongs in the capital? ”

“Well, it was transferred from there. ”

"That's a coincidence," said Boss Yao. “My daughter had also been attending college in Beijing for several years. She only went home after graduation as a civil servant for the home exam. ”

Dong Xuebin blinked, “What department is your daughter in? ”

"- [sic]“ The county government axe office. ”

“Yo, that's a nice department.” Dong Xuebin said something.

Boss Yao even shook his head and lowered his voice a little. “What, our county conditions are too bad and the wages are not very good. All the good ones are in charge. Where's my daughter? She came back angry every day, and if I hadn't stopped her, she would have resigned. ”

At this point, a crisp female voice came out in the yard behind the stall earlier, "Dad, little brother. ”

Boss Yao looked over and said, "Cui, what are you doing out here? You haven't slept much? ”

“I'm not working today, I'll help you both pack up, little brother, give me the bowl, sister go wash it.” The woman who came out of the yard took a plate and a bowl in the hands of a dark young man.

However, when Dong Xuebin saw this 25-year-old girl, he was stunned, "Yao Cui? ”

When he heard someone shouting her name, Yao Cui was also shocked. Looking back, he gave a surprised look on his face. "You are... Dong Xuebin! ”

Dong Xuebin really didn't expect to meet college classmates in this poor countryside!
