C6 The Goal of Poverty Alleviation
Officer Qiu understood why Boss He would remember his phone number and call out his name all of a sudden. It turned out that Boss He was going to call him to sell King Coconut Trees.
Officer Qiu said with a bitter face, "Boss He, the current market price..."
"Sigh, Boss Qiu is indeed a smart person. The current market price has dropped to 400. Forget it, we are old friends. I will give you a 20% discount. Three hundred and twenty RMB. It can't be any less. Otherwise, my whole family will have to jump off the building. " Boss He sighed.
"Three hundred and twenty dollars!" Song Min, who was standing behind him, could no longer care about the warning given by Officer Qiu. He could not help but shout out. Just now, they were full of ambition. They did not expect that a King Coconut Tree would only cost three hundred and twenty dollars! How were they going to plant it? A King Coconut Tree was planted for five years, and the villagers were really going to drink to their heart's content.
When Boss He heard Song Min's voice, he thought that the other party was unwilling. He called out again. "Boss, I know that the competition is intense now. There are people selling King Coconut Trees everywhere. It's all their fault that they didn't look at the market and planted them like a swarm of bees. How about this? The lowest price is 200 dollars per tree, and it's more than ten meters tall. You guys can do it. Help me buy some."
When Officer Qiu heard Boss He's pleading voice, he was so angry that he hung up the phone.
Two hundred dollars for a dozen meter tall King Coconut Tree, what else could they plant!
Song Min said to Officer Qiu, "It seems that we still need to make a long-term plan."
"I... Let's think about it." Officer Qiu felt as if his throat had been stuffed by something. He was almost at a loss for words.
Just now, he had promised that there would be no problem with the sales, and the price would be higher than 2,000 yuan. He did not expect that it would only cost 200 yuan per tree, and it was a dozen meters tall King Coconut Tree. It would take at least five years to grow.
Liu Zhenhua said, "In the past, when I was in school, I also looked up a lot of things suitable for farming in the countryside. They are not suitable for our current Fallen Mountain Village."
"Yes, Director Liu, as a university student, you really can see it clearly. 135 Planning suggested that the poverty alleviation of the poor in the countryside was the most difficult task to complete and build a well-off society. It is really a difficult task to get your village out of poverty. If it really doesn't work, we'll report to the higher-ups and see if we can move your village out. " Officer Qiu said.
Song Min shook his head. "That might not be a good idea. Everyone has lived here for generations. If you ask them to move out, they might not be willing. Especially some of the elders who said that even if they died of poverty in the Fallen Mountain Village, they are not willing to move out."
"Let's think of something else," Wang Yao said. Officer Qiu glanced at Liu Zhenhua. "Director Liu, you're a famous university student. Do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Zhenhua's thoughts were very clear just now, and he had considered the problem very well. Officer Qiu no longer treated him as a hothead.
Liu Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "Officer Qiu, I already have an initial idea, but I still want to do research in the village. Three days later, I'll give you a definite plan, okay?"
"You can come up with a plan in three days?" Officer Qiu did not expect Liu Zhenhua to be so fast. He had just asked casually.
"Well, actually, before I went back to the village, I was thinking about the village. I walked around the village yesterday, but I haven't finished the investigation yet. I still want to visit for another two days. At the same time, I want to communicate with my college classmates who are working in the provincial capital. I'll give you a final plan. " Liu Zhenhua said solemnly.
"Alright, we'll be waiting for your plan. Director Liu, there are 308 households in your village who are poor. Even if it is 1500 people, an average of 4000 RMB a year of poverty relief, if all of them are out of poverty, the total annual income of those poor people will be 6 million yuan. The higher ups don't give us high requirements, as long as we complete a third of it, it will be fine. Just do the plan based on their annual income of two million yuan." Officer Qiu said.
Song Min sighed and said, "Officer Qiu, asking them to earn two million yuan a year is easier said than done."
"Sigh, I also know that it's as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Let's work hard together." Officer Qiu did not want to stay here any longer. Just now, he had lost all his face. He did not know if Song Min would tell others about what had happened just now. If this matter were to be spread, it would be even more embarrassing for him.
After Officer Qiu left, Song Min said to Liu Zhenhua, "Zhenhua, it seems that it's right to ask you to come back. Or do you see it clearly? If we really plant the King Coconut Tree, it's all in vain again. Our village has been poor for so many years. We won't be able to last for many years. "
" Uncle Song, the Luoshan Village has raised me. I will definitely find a way to help the Luoshan Village get rid of poverty. " Liu Zhenhua gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Liu Zhenhua left the office and rushed home. On the way, he saw Niu Zhifeng leaning against a tree, swaying.
The tree was a special feature in the Falling Mountain Village. There were many trees growing on the hillside. Every May, there would be flowers everywhere. It was also a beautiful scene.
During the summer vacation, Liu Zhenhua would go to the hillside with some of his friends to pick the fruits. The mature thundercloud fruit was sweet and delicious. It was a commonly used "fruit" for the children in the village.
The Blue Wind Fruit had a strong vitality. They casually threw the Blue Wind Fruit's core on the open space behind the house. The next year, the Blue Wind Fruit Tree would grow.
Niu Zhifeng seemed to be thinking about something as he muttered, "Strange, why did she say thank you to me?"
Seeing this, Liu Zhenhua walked to Niu Zhifeng's side and shouted, "Zhifeng!"
Niu Zhifeng was too absorbed in his thoughts. He was frightened by Liu Zhenhua's shout. He quivered and fell to the tree behind him.
The tree was not tall to begin with, and its branches were thin. How could it bear the weight of Niu Zhifeng's body that weighed more than two hundred kilograms?
Pah! Niu Zhifeng plunged into the forest.
"Help, help!" Niu Zhifeng screamed.
Liu Zhenhua hurriedly pulled Niu Zhifeng out. "Zhifeng, you are too heavy. You should eat less meat."
"Why am I so unlucky today?" Niu Zhifeng even wanted to die now.
Today, he fell down twice and his handsome face was scratched.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Zhenhua asked curiously.
"Zhenhua, I succeeded!" Niu Zhifeng shouted excitedly.
"What succeeded? Did you lose weight successfully?" Liu Zhenhua looked at Niu Zhifeng's fat waist, which was much thicker than a big bucket.
Niu Zhifeng shook his head with all his might and said, "No, I successfully caught up to Lifang."
"You caught up to Lifang?" Liu Zhenhua did not know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He did not know if it was because he did not have breakfast this morning.
"Yeah, didn't you tell me that after I sent a love letter to Li Fang, I would have to see her expression towards me?" Niu Zhifeng said.
Liu Zhenhua asked, "Then how's her expression?"
"Hahaha, that's a smile, and she keeps smiling at me, saying she wants to thank me." Niu Zhifeng laughed until his teeth could not be seen.
"Why would she thank you?" Liu Zhenhua asked curiously.
Niu Zhifeng was also puzzled by this, but in front of Liu Zhenhua, he had to put on a front and pretend to be fat. Besides, he was originally fat.
"Zhenhua, I know you're stupid, but I didn't know you were so stupid." Niu Zhifeng shouted, "Of course Lifang wants to thank me for liking her. She likes me from the start. I'm just waiting for me to write a love letter to confess to her. Now that I've confessed to her, of course she has to thank me. Do I have to thank you?"
Liu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Zhifeng, you have to thank me. That's my love letter."
"That's a deal. I gave you pork belly." Niu Zhifeng waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've shared my happiness with you. I'll help my dad sell pork."
Just as Niu Zhifeng was about to leave, his third aunt, who was in front of him, walked over. "Hey, which untrained child broke my family's branches? The heavens want to take him."
The fat on Niu Zhifeng's face trembled a few times. "Aunt, it might be that he accidentally fell down and pressed down. Don't curse so badly, right?"
"Did he fall and press down? The branches are all broken. Even my fat pig can't be pressed down!" Aunt Ye screamed.
The fat on Niu Zhifeng's face was shaking even more, but he could not refute it. After all, he was the one who broke the tree. Liu Zhenhua quickly tried to smooth things over. "Aunt Ye, did you cook lunch?"
"Oh, it's the village director. I haven't cooked yet." Aunt Ye only just saw Liu Zhenhua now. "My family's person has diarrhea today. I'll pick some Feng Zi leaves and boil some water for him to drink."
Third Aunt picked up the Feng Zi leaves that were crushed by Niu Zhifeng.
Liu Zhenhua was puzzled. "Aunt Ye, can the leaves treat diarrhea?"
"Yeah, many people in our village know about it. We have tried the ancient formula passed down by the old ancestor and found it very effective." Aunt Liu didn't say much to Liu Zhenhua. She took some branches and leaves and left.
"The leaves can cure diarrhea." Liu Zhenhua said to himself.
"Zhenhua, this is true. When I had diarrhea in the past, my mother used the phoenix leaf to boil water for me. It was very useful. But it's a bit bitter. I don't like to drink it. " Niu Zhifeng said to Liu Zhenhua.
When Liu Zhenhua returned to his house, he saw that the chimney on the roof of his house was smoking.
"My house has Miss Conch?" Liu Zhenhua pushed open the door and entered the house. He saw Song Lifang cooking in his kitchen.
"Brother Zhenhua, you're back." Song Lifang seemed to say this every time she saw Liu Zhenhua. Especially now, her words were like a wife waiting for a man to come back.
Liu Zhenhua said embarrassingly, "Lifang, how can I trouble you to cook for me?"
"This is what I should do." After saying that, Song Lifang felt that there was something wrong with her words. She hurriedly said, "You are now busy with the task of getting rid of poverty in the village. It is not a big deal for me to cook for you."
"You also have a lot of things to do at home. I am afraid that I will trouble you." Liu Zhenhua said.
"No trouble," said Wang Yao. Song Lifang blushed and secretly glanced at Liu Zhenhua. "Brother Zhenhua, you need to practice more calligraphy in the future. You are a university student, so you have to write well. "
Liu Zhenhua did not understand what Song Lifang meant. "You want to write well?"
His handwriting was very good. In the past, he had even won an award in a university calligraphy competition.
"Your... your handwriting is a little ugly. If you have time, practice it. It might be better this way." The more Song Lifang spoke, the softer her voice became. Her small face was so red that it was about to drip water.
