Chapter 1055
A few days later.
It was a sunny morning.
Dong Xuebin drove up and down all the way, and finally arrived at the place where he was going to take office three days later according to the map. Because there were still a few days until Letter of Appointment took office, Dong Xuebin did not plan to go to the city to report now. Instead, he planned to wander around the county first, familiarize himself with the environment, and get a feel for the local culture and atmosphere, so that he could work here in the future.
The road is very bumpy, with big dirt roads and potholes. The Power of Time and Wealth 1055
Fortunately, Land Rover's off-road performance is among the best in the world, not to mention this kind of land, even the desert.
Seeing an old man on the roadside, Dong Xuebin stopped the car immediately.
After getting off the car, Dong Xuebin immediately said, "Fellow, please let me ask, how to get to Zhenshui County?"
"Ah?" The fellow carrying the pole looked at him and mumbled a lot of words, but Dong Xuebin couldn't understand a word of it.
Dong Xuebin had no choice but to repeat it slowly, "Uncle, do you know how to get to Zhenshui County? Which way?"
The fellow spoke with a local accent and could probably understand what Dong Xuebin said, but Dong Xuebin couldn't understand him, so communication was a problem. It's no wonder that this is a remote mountainous area, and it's still in the west. The accent is very different from that of northerners, and he is an old man, so he probably can't speak Mandarin. After not understanding it for a long time, Dong Xuebin stopped asking. After thanking the old man, he turned his head and found a young man passing by.
"Brother." Dong Xuebin said, "Do you know how to get there Zhenshui County?"
"Zhenshui County?" The young man looked at him suspiciously, "This is it." Although he had a heavy accent, Dong Xuebin could barely be understood.
"Here?" Dong Xuebin was stunned, "How to get to the county seat? Is it still far away?"
The young man pointed to the distance honestly and said, "It's just past the mountain. It's not far."
"Okay, thank you very much." Dong Xuebin got in the car again after knowing the way.
Dong Xuebin has never had much idea about National-Level Poverty County because he has never been exposed to it. Although Yantai County was also a poor county at the beginning, Dong Xuebin only now understands that poor counties at the municipal and provincial levels are different from those at the national level. The difference is really too far. Dong Xuebin Almost no cars were seen along the way, let alone private cars. Except for trucks and vans, there were not even bicycles. The most were agricultural tractors, and then there were endless farmland all around, giving a desolate feeling. Therefore, Dong Xuebin, the Land Rover Range Rover worth four million, is also extremely conspicuous. Almost everyone who passes by will take a look at this car, but Dong Xuebin probably does not recognize the value of this car. Here, even if it is a Guangben worth two hundred thousand, everyone will probably pay attention.
It's really annoying!
Is this National-Level Poverty County??
The further we drove towards the county seat, the more profound Dong Xuebin's emotions became.
Fortunately, after passing this mountain and entering the county town, Dong Xuebin finally saw some people, and there were some compact cars driving in the middle of the road, but not to mention Capital City, even Dong Xuebin couldn't compare with Yantai County where Dong Xuebin worked before. There were so few people. Poor, there are so few cars. Even in a place like Huitian Township, there are many more cars running in and out of the countryside than in Zhenshui County. From this aspect, Dong Xuebin can also see the general situation of Zhenshui County. If it can be described, there is only one word - poor!
And he is too poor!
High-rise buildings? You can't even see it from here!
Residential complex? If those few that don't even have gates can be considered communities, then let's count them as such! The Power of Time and Wealth 1055
Dong Xuebin took a breath and realized for the first time that a National-Level Poverty County looked like this. Even a village in Fenzhou City would probably be better than this one, right??
How could it be so backward?
Dong Xuebin even has a feeling that this is still within the Republic.
It's no wonder that Dong Xuebin was born in Capital City. Although his family conditions are not very good, it is also the capital, and the living environment is not much different even in suburban counties. Then he went to Fenzhou City to work, but he has never been in a place like this, so Dong Xuebin is really not used to it.
It's definitely a challenge here for him.
But it doesn't matter if there are challenges, Dong Xuebin is never afraid of this!
When my father passed away, I ate steamed buns, pickles Dong Xuebin and Mom at intervals for several years. How hard was it? Dong Xuebin has eaten!
Driving in the county town, Dong Xuebin took a walk around.
Urban construction? Too tacky!
Standard of living? Too bad!
highway? The sports car can't move at all! It's cracked in many places!
Dong Xuebin sighed, knowing that Zhenshui County was probably ranked in the last few dozen even among National-Level Poverty County. He was really poor. Dong Xuebin somewhat admired his foresight., if you drive your own Porsche sports car, hehe, not to mention whether you can get Zhenshui County on the road, or even if you drive to Zhenshui County in the county, it will probably be very difficult. There seems to be no money for road construction here.
Forget it, stop reading.
This is what it looks like.
Dong Xuebin already had a rough idea. After driving around, he found a fairly good community. After communicating with the property management, he paid cash for a parking space, paid for a year, and parked Land Rover in the community's underground parking lot. Generally speaking, if you are talking to Capital City or Fenzhou City, if you are not a resident of the community and cannot provide a real estate certificate, they will basically not let you buy a parking space. But it is different here. It only costs 1,000 yuan a year. As long as you give money, they will sell it. The reason why Land Rover parked here was because Dong Xuebin considered the impact. It was too poor here, and he drove a four-million-dollar off-road vehicle as soon as he took office. It was really a bit weird. Dong Xuebin listened to what Uncle Yang said. He had no background here, so it was better to keep a low profile.
OK.
Find a place to have breakfast.
After leaving the community, Dong Xuebin prepared to take a taxi, but after waiting for twenty minutes, he saw a car passing by, which was still carrying passengers. Dong Xuebin shook his head helplessly, knowing that his mental state had not changed. Of course, there could not be too many taxis in such a poor county, and even if there were people, they couldn't afford them, so Dong Xuebin had to walk all the way north, along the road to find a place to have breakfast.
Front.
A small street stall should come into view.
Dong Xuebin As soon as he saw it, his stomach growled and he immediately walked over.
It's spring, and the temperature difference between day and night is a little bigger here, but it's not too cold during the day. Dong Xuebin sat at a table on the street and shouted to the inside, "Here comes a bowl of tofu nao." The Power of Time and Wealth 1055
"Huh?" the breakfast stall owner said in surprise.
"Uh, do you have tofu nao?" Dong Xuebin said.
The boss shook his head, "No."
"Well, let's do the fried dough sticks." Dong Xuebin settled for the next best thing.
"No fried dough sticks either." The boss looked at him, "Are you from the north?"
"Yes." Dong Xuebin asked, "Then what do you have here?"
The boss said, "Milk, cooked eggs, steamed buns."
Dong Xuebin sweated, "Here's a bowl of milk and two hard-boiled eggs. Thanks."
The milk here is very pure, not the stuff mixed with water like in big cities in the north. Although the eggs are not tea eggs, they are fragrant and delicious. Dong Xuebin tasted it twice and thought it was pretty good. At the end of the checkout, I realized that the things here are simply too cheap. The consumption level is almost one-third and a quarter of Capital City. It is even cheaper. A bowl of milk and two eggs only costs more than one yuan.
The boss asked him for the money, and then asked strangely, "Young man, why are you here? We rarely have outsiders here, and you don't look like you are here for tourism. Besides, who comes to our place for tourism? You wouldn't even pass by. I think you are here to work, right?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here to work."
The boss said, "Did you offend someone? Did you get it distributed to you?"
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "No, it's just a normal transfer."
The boss sighed, "Well, then you have come to the wrong place. Our county is poor and has nothing. If you have money here, you have nowhere to spend it. Which factory did you go to work in? There are only a few factories here, fur factories? Livestock farms?"
Dong Xuebin didn't say anything, he just smiled and said, "I think it's not bad here, it's quite a training place."
"You won't think so in the future. As long as those who have some skills have gone out to work, or been transferred to work outside, who will come back?" the boss said with emotion.
Dong Xuebin looked at this person with dark eyes and wanted to chat with him for a while, "What's your surname?"
"My surname is Yao."
"Then let me call you Uncle Yao."
"Why does your accent sound like Capital City?"
"Yeah, transferred from over there."
Boss Yao immediately said, "That's a coincidence. My daughter also went to college at Capital City a few years ago, and then returned to her hometown to take the Civil Servants exam after graduation."
Dong Xuebin blinked, "What department is your daughter in?"
Boss Yao said, "It's run by the county government."
"Hey, that department is pretty good." Dong Xuebin said smoothly.
But Boss Yao shook his head repeatedly and lowered his voice, "It's not bad. The conditions in our county are too bad and the wages are not high. The good ones are those who are in charge. Where is my daughter? She comes back angry every day. If her mother and I hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to quit her job."
At this time, a clear female voice came from the yard behind the breakfast stall, "Dad, little brother."
Boss Yao looked over and said, "Cui'er, why did you come out? Didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I don't have to go to work today, so I'll help you two clean up. Brother, give me the bowl, and sister will wash it." A woman coming out of the yard took the plate and bowl from a dark-skinned young man.
However, when Dong Xuebin saw this girl who was about twenty-five years old, he was stunned for a moment, "Yao Cui?"
Yao Cui was startled when she heard someone calling her name. She turned around and looked over with a surprised expression on her face, "You are... Dong Xuebin!"
Dong Xuebin I really didn't expect to meet college classmates in such a remote place!
