Brother-in-law Liu Qingming (Part 2)
Wang Qiang went out temporarily because of something. Chen Jin originally wanted to sit in Han Xue's office on the second floor. But after thinking about it, Han Xue was also very busy. Besides, just now because Wang Qiang mentioned her parents were a little depressed, it's better not to bother at this time. Just take the opportunity to inquire about Liu Qingming at the County Agricultural Technology Station.
The Agricultural Technology Station is a department subordinate to the County Agriculture Bureau, just beside the Beimenlu County Agriculture Bureau. Among the bureaus under Xinmei County, the Agriculture Bureau is a poor jingle department, and the situation at the agricultural technology station is naturally not much better. A row of low-rise bungalows built in the 1960s and 1970s, although the outside walls have been painted, they still faintly reveal the words "Learning from Dazhai in Agriculture".
Because it was Saturday, the gate of the yard was closed tightly, and an old man was sitting there basking in the sun at the entrance of the reception room, and a radio with a red light card beside it was playing the local operas of Chu Province.
"Uncle, do you have an agricultural technician named Liu Qingming here?" Chen Jin asked when he walked to the door. At the same time, he took out a cigarette and handed it up.
With his eyes closed, the old man shaking his head and shaking his head opened his eyes. While taking the cigarette, he took a look at Chen Jin. He saw that the cigarette he passed over was actually Chinese. The old man's eyes suddenly brightened, and there was a 2000 model parked at the door. . The old man was quite "satisfied". There are not many people who can afford China this year and can afford to drive a car. He quickly stood up and said enthusiastically: "Liu Qingming, right? Yes, yes. He happened to be in the work unit today. I will help. You scream.” As he said, he turned his head and shouted at the bungalow in the courtyard: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, someone is looking for."
Because today is a day off, Chen Jin originally just wanted to inquire, but Liu Qingming was in the unit unexpectedly. I haven't seen my brother-in-law for several years, and there is a lot of expectation in his eyes.
The door of the innermost bungalow opened, and a tall, thin, tall young man with glasses came out: "Pharaoh, who is looking for me?"
That's right, it was his brother-in-law Liu Qingming. Although Liu Qingming is thinner and younger than Chen Jin remembered, Chen Jin recognized it at a glance.
"This comrade is looking for you." Old Wang quickly pointed at Chen Jin and said with a smile.
"Qingming, hello!" Chen Jin greeted affectionately.
"Are you?" Liu Qingming looked at Chen Jin suspiciously. He didn't know the young man who looked about the same age in front of him, but he was very affectionate, as if he were an old friend.
"My name is Chen Jin. I used to work for the Transportation Bureau. Now I work in Shicheng." Chen Jin quickly introduced himself.
Liu Qingming hesitated for a moment, but immediately his eyes lit up: "Oh, you are Section Chief Chen. I heard Aunt Wu talk about you a long time ago. Oh, talking about you, hello! Hello! How are you today? "
Thinking that Chen Jin is the secretary of the municipal party committee and the chief of the comprehensive section of the dignified municipal party committee office, Liu Qingming can't help being a little stiff.
"Hehe, Qingming, I am here to thank you for a special trip today. Can I go in?" Finally I saw my brother-in-law, and when he came to this era, his relatives were finally together. Chen Jin was also very happy and smiled.
Only then did Liu Qingming wake up and quickly said, "Of course, of course, please come in soon." The old Wang on the side also saw that the young man visiting was not an ordinary person, and quickly opened the half-opened small door to the largest one. Enthusiastically invite Chen Jin in.
"Thank you, Pharaoh." Chen Jin nodded and thanked Pharaoh.
"Chairman Chen, my office is in the innermost one, please!"
Chen Jin followed Liu Qingming into his office, which was very simple. There were four old mottled desks squeezed into the rooms of a dozen bungalows, and some documents and charts were spread out on the one near the door. It should be Liu Qingming's desk.
Liu Qingming opened the chair behind his desk: "Chen Ke, please sit down." While busy making tea.
"We have limited conditions. The tea is not good. Don't mind." Liu Qingming offered Chen Jin a cup of tea, embarrassed.
"Qingming, you are welcome. I am here to thank you specially. I have seen the greenhouse on the hillside you helped Wujiacun build, and the effect is very good." Chen Jin said with a smile.
"This is what I found from the data. This pattern already exists in many parts of the north. There are many barren hillsides in Wujia Village, which are suitable for this kind of greenhouse." Liu Qingming said shyly.
"However, I have also heard that you originally proposed the alpine vegetables in Wujia Village, and you also helped them to attract investment. This has led to the development of alpine vegetables in several townships in the eastern part of Xinmei."
Chen Jin smiled and waved his hand: "That was not "forced". At that time, I was the assistant to the mayor in Liuping Township in charge of industry. You also know that there is no industry in Liuping! Wujia Village again It’s my hometown, where there are many mountains and little land. It’s really poor, so I thought of such a way. Speaking of it, like you, I also saw this mountain from other sources, so I tried it and I didn’t expect it to succeed. Yes. Yes, the investment you just mentioned was not what I brought, but it was the money my mother made from stocks."
"What is lacking now is funding. Now, except for Wujia Village, other places are facing a shortage of funds. Alpine vegetables are restricted by the climate and temperature, and funding for support in counties and townships is very limited. No other places have the same conditions as Wujia Village. To build large-scale greenhouses, I am also trying to help them with other projects with little investment." Speaking of agricultural production, Liu Qingming seemed a little less restrained. Sitting opposite Chen Jin, he pushed his glasses and said. .
Chen Jin nodded secretly, flipped through the data files on the desk, and found that there were all materials on the cultivation of fungi: "Are you planning to do some fungus projects?"
Liu Qingming nodded: "Yes. I found that there are several villages in Liuping, and there are many caves. I have also visited them on the spot. The temperature and humidity in the cave are more suitable for cultivating fungi, and the wood on the mountain There are also many, you can take local materials, the input cost will not be too large, and farmers can afford it. But the idea is not mature yet."
Chen Jin knew that there were indeed many caves on Yuntai Mountain, including Wujiacun, and many air-raid shelters were dug on the mountain when the whole people were preparing for war in the 1960s and 1970s. Chen Jin didn’t understand how to cultivate mushrooms, but he clearly remembered that there was a period in the future when it was very popular to drink mushroom soup. He often saw stoves in the lobby of the restaurant, and all kinds of mushrooms were stewed in the earthen jars above. , And the price is not cheap. It is indeed a good idea to develop the mushroom industry at this time.
"Your idea is good. If you think your idea is not mature yet, you can go to our Wujia Village to start a pilot program. You don't have to worry about the cost. The Wujia Village Vegetable Cooperative will be responsible for it."
"Really?" Liu Qingming's eyes widened. The Agricultural Technology Station is very poor and can't afford to spend money on research and development, so Liu Qingming's plan can only stay on paper. Unexpectedly, today the secretary of the dignified municipal party committee not only came to see him in person, but also took the initiative to help him solve his urgent needs. Liu Qingming even couldn't believe it was true.
"Of course it is true. My mother is full of praise for you and will definitely help you. Besides, if your mushroom cultivation is successful, won't Wujiacun benefit from it too!" Chen Jin said with a smile.
"I was originally an agricultural technician sent by the Agricultural Technology Station to Liuping Township. These are what I should do, but Aunt Wu is very polite every time I go there." Liu Qingming scratched his head, a little embarrassed in surprise. To say.
Chen Jin and Liu Qingming chatted for a while and found that Liu Qingming was not only very proficient in agriculture, but also quite economically savvy. Ashamed, in fact, Chen Jin and Liu Qingming didn't have too much contact between later generations. When Liu Qingming and his sister Chen Xin got married, he had already developed in Shanghai. On the wedding day, he met Liu Qingming for the first time. Afterwards, except for one meeting at home during the Chinese New Year, he didn’t have much contact with him, but occasionally because of his parents. It's just a phone call. All I know is that Liu Qingming is an honest person who treats Chen Xin very well and is very filial to his parents.
When talking about the preparation of a pickle factory in Wujiacun, Liu Qingming suggested: “There is also a pickle factory in the county, but the efficiency is very poor, and it is basically in a state of shutdown. However, the poor efficiency is mainly due to inadequate management and sales. Some of the veteran workers are still very experienced in making pickles, and the pickles they make taste very good."
Liu Qingming's words also reminded Chen Jin of the loose sweet and sour garlic and assorted pickles that his mother used to buy before. The taste was really good. These are all produced in the pickle factory in the county. It's just that this kind of pickles in jars and cans can't compete with Taiwanese brands like Laocai, which is beautifully packaged in supermarkets. If Wujia Village sets up a pickle factory, it does need experienced veteran workers and technicians. Just relying on a few pickled cucumbers, capers and spicy cabbage in the village, the varieties are indeed a bit single.
"In this case, it is entirely possible to hire some experienced old workers in the pickle factory. Once the factory is built, it will not work just to rely on the aunts in the village."
"I can help contact me about this." Liu Qingming said quickly, and then a little embarrassed: "My parents are old workers in the pickle factory, and now they are laid off just like the other workers in the factory. Although Wujiacun is far away. Point, but as long as there is a job, I believe they will be willing."
"Good, good! It seems that I am really here today. I will call my mother first tonight, and you can contact her for specific matters." Chen Jin laughed.
At this time, Wang Qiang called: "Chen Jin, where are you? I ordered Song Bing and it is almost time to pass."
Unknowingly, an afternoon passed, Chen Jin checked the time displayed on the phone and it was almost six o’clock, and said, “I’m sitting with a friend for a while. That’s OK, you take Xiaoxue first, and I won’t come here. , Go straight over."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jin said to Liu Qingming: "Qingming, if there is nothing to do at night, we will have a meal together."
Liu Qingming was faintly excited when he heard Chen Jin calling himself a friend on the phone. He is also within the system, and he is not stupid. If he can become friends with the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is a good thing for him to meet and not seek. Hearing that Chen Jin also took the initiative to invite himself to dinner, he quickly said politely: "No, no, I won't bother you and your friends at the party."
"They are all my old colleagues in the Transportation Bureau, as well as a few good friends. We are all in Xinmei. We will get to know each other. Go and go together." Chen Jin smiled.
Liu Qingming also saw that Chen Jin was sincere, rubbing his hands and said embarrassedly: "Then I'm welcome."
"What are you polite!" Chen Jin patted his arm, "Go, take my car, let's go there together."
When they arrived at the farmhouse of Song Bing Nursery, Wang Qiang and Han Xue had just arrived. They were standing at the door and talking to Song Bing, as if they were introducing Han Xue to Song Bing.
When Chen Jin's car arrived, it naturally became the focus of attention. Song Bing hurriedly rushed over to open the door of the cab: "Chen Ke, you are a rare visitor now! It's a visitor you can't even invite."
At the beginning, Chen Jin had offended Xu Meixin, the head of the county organization, and was assigned to Liuping Township for helping him get a greening project on Shixin Road from the Changhua Group. Song Bing felt very sorry for this. Unexpectedly, Chen Jin spent less than three months in Liuping Township and developed the Wujiacun Mountain Vegetable Project. He was then favored by Du Hanjie, the municipal party committee member, and became Du Fu’s secretary. While Song Bing sighed and sighed, his mentality also changed. It turned out that he was grateful to Chen Jin, but now he wants to further develop a good relationship with Chen Jin.
His father Song Deming, following Wang Peilin's transfer, has retired from the position of director of finance and became a member of the CPPCC Standing Committee, completely retiring to the second line. He now runs a farmhouse as a sideline business, and his main business is still a greening project. You have no relationship with the officialdom, and it is more difficult to take over the project than to go to the sky. In the current identity of Chen Jin, that was the character he tried hard to curry.
"Brother Bing, if Chen Ke doesn't become Chen Ke, let's call me Chen Jin as before." Chen Jin smiled in the underground lane.
I haven’t seen him for half a year. Chen Jin is still the same. Although he works by the municipal party committee, he has no arrogance. Song Bing is relieved a lot. He smiled and said, "Yes, just call the name. Chen Jin, your original ones. The old colleagues are here and they are arranged in the Peony Room."
"Brother." Han Xue also came over and shouted with a smile. It is obvious that the mood is much better than in the afternoon. Chen Jin nodded slightly.
Song Bing was stunned by Han Xue's "brother". Everyone grew up in Xinmei, and Song Bing was very familiar with Chen Jin's situation. Just now, Wang Qiang just introduced that Han Xue is his company's finances. He thought it was Wang Qiang's new girl, and he was envious in his heart.
"Xiaoxue is my mother's goddaughter, Xin'er's classmate." Chen Jin explained with a smile.
While Song Bing nodded repeatedly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't start the joke just now.
Then, Chen Jin introduced Liu Qingming to everyone.
One is the son of the former county magistrate and the other is the son of the former finance chief. Both are now bosses, and they are both famous in the small county town of Xinmei. Liu Qingming is also known for a long time, and it is a great honor to know him today.
Wang Qiang and Song Bing didn't know Liu Qingming before. Wang Qiang was Chen Jin's best friend. In his eyes, Chen Jin's friend was his own friend. They greeted Liu Qingming enthusiastically.
Song Bing is a very eye-catching person. Although Liu Qingming is only a small farm technician, he came with Chen Jin's car and gave a special introduction. He is definitely not a person who usually follows Cengfan. While greeting him warmly, he said affectionately: "Everyone will be friends in the future. If there is something useful to me in Xinmei County, just speak up."
Song Bing is very good at life, and although Song Deming has retired to the second line, after all, he has been the chief of finance for several years, and his network in Xinmei is still very strong, and the business of Nongjiale is very good. Compared with the last time Chen Jin came here, the row of houses in the farmhouse has obviously been renovated again. Each private room is named after flowers. The Peony Hall, since it is the name of the national flower, is naturally the most advanced room among them. Everyone rushed into the private room, and Liu Jia, Xiao Wang and Lao Dong had already arrived early.
"Section Chief!" Seeing Chen coming in, Xiao Wang and Old Dong quickly stood up.
"Sit, everyone sits. Dong Gong, today you are the oldest. Why sit in the corner, sit up, please sit up." Chen Jin smiled and shook hands, pulling Old Dong to invite him to sit up.
Chen Jin is no longer what he used to be. The always cautious old Dong hurriedly declined, but still couldn't hold back Chen Jin's enthusiasm, and reluctantly sat down beside Chen Jin.
Wang Qiang used to have frequent visits with Chen Jin before, and now he is also involved in the construction of Shixin Road, and he is naturally familiar with the personnel of the Infrastructure Section of the Transportation Bureau, and everyone greeted him happily. The two new faces of Liu Qingming and Han Xue are inevitably introduced again.
Because there were only two women, Liu Jia took Han Xue and sat beside her affectionately. Chen Jin looked at it. The former colleague was bad, and the deputy chief Zhang Jian did not come. He couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Zhang Jian come? Did you notify Liu Jia?"
Liu Jia's face suddenly "showed" a disdainful "color", and said: "Why didn't you notice? I did. I said that our old section chief is back today and invite everyone to dinner. But he said he has something to do and cannot come. I think he must have no face to see you now. He jumped up and down, thinking that if you squeeze you away, he could become a section chief. It is beautiful!"
Wang Qiang also knew some old things between Chen Jin and Zhang Jian, and snorted coldly: "What does this kind of person care about him?"
Lao Dong is a kind man. He glanced at Chen Jin next to him, and persuaded Liu Jia: "Xiao Liu, it's fine for everyone to know something in their hearts. Why do you need to say it? It doesn't sound good to say it."
Although this and that unpleasantness had happened between Chen Jin and Zhang Jian before, Chen Jin never put such a small person in his eyes, and he had forgotten it long ago. Since everyone has a fate with colleagues, why bother about things in the past. He smiled and said, "Since Zhang Jian has something to do, then forget it."
Everyone, the recommendation of the week is too ugly. I voted two for myself for one day's recommendation, which is actually only in the single digits. Recommendation tickets are available every day and they are free. Please help out and vote for a few.
