"Baoling? Do you mean you are in Baoling County now?" Wang Yaguang's voice suddenly increased several times, which surprised Lu Zhijian. He would not have been so shocked by going to the county, right?

"Yes, I've been appointed as the deputy director of the county government office, but I can't compare with the deputy director of the county party committee office. Yours is real. I'm on duty. After the two-year term, I may be able to arrange a deputy section-level position when I return to the regional administration." Lu Zhijian explained patiently.

"Are you in Baoling County now?" Wang Yaguang asked again: "Are you in the county now?"

"Here, I'm off to work, where can I go back at will?" Lu Zhijian asked curiously: "Do you know how far Baoling is from Wuling? 47 kilometers, but it takes two hours to drive. Generally, long-distance buses need to be nearly two and a half hours to get there. I plan to go back to Wuling a month, and I usually work well in the county."

Wang Yaguang is quite familiar with Lu Zhijian's style, and he is down-to-earth and willing to work hard. He doesn't complain much. When he played as a guard in the school team, there were actually two guards who were not as good as him. However, they were related to him and he was bullied. Lu Zhijian didn't say much. He fought if he could fight. If he couldn't fight, he wouldn't be able to fight. But every time the school team organized training, he still trained conscientiously. Unlike some people, he had already left after slapping his butt.

"Well, are you in the dormitory now?" Wang Yaguang said straight without waiting for Lu Zhijian to answer: "One of our senior brothers, Han, has arrived in your Baoling. I just called him about the school anniversary. He said that he had just arrived in Baoling and would probably inspect the actual situation in Baoling County these days. I think you can visit it. I guess your county doesn't know it yet, and he didn't tell you."

"Who?" Lu Zhi asked in a desperate situation. It seemed that the senior brother who came here was quite big.

"Sha Zhengyang, he is our senior brother of 86, and now he is the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission. Maybe you have heard of his name. He is now in Baoling Hotel, and he will conduct an investigation in your county tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It will be okay if you go and be familiar with each other." Wang Yaguang said quite decisively: "You must go there, maybe this is your opportunity."

Whether to go or not is a matter of attitude. What kind of attitude does others have after going there are two different things.

There may not be any chance after going there, but if you don’t go there, you will definitely not have the chance. There are so many students from the Wuling area. Even in the Wuling area, not counting before the Cultural Revolution, there are only a hundred graduates from the Han University after the resumption of the college entrance examination. In the Wuling area and various cities and counties, there are probably not less than a hundred people? Not everyone can catch up with these opportunities.

"Ah?" Lu Zhijian, who has heard of Sha Zhengyang's name, was the youngest deputy director of the Provincial Development and Planning Commission, less than 30 years old. However, Lu Zhijian didn't know that the other party was from Han University, and he didn't know why the other party arrived at Baoling so suddenly. "Yaguang, is it appropriate for me to go? I haven't seen it before. Is it too abrupt to run over to ask for a meeting so rashly?"

"It's abrupt!" Wang Yaguang couldn't help but curse, "He came to investigate. You are a junior brother. Why is it called "Dangqi" when you go to a visit? Besides, you were in the administrative research office of the Administration and now in the county government office. He will definitely ask you some situations and questions. This is just the time when you show it. If you don't say anything else, in the future, when you meet your secretary, county magistrate, or the leader of your administrative office, just mention your name and praise you a few words. It will catch the leader's eyes. Maybe that's your luck!"

The unceremonious criticism made Lu Zhijian feel much more awake. For him, he was embarrassed. He was a little thicker and even if he hit a wall, he would not lose much. As Wang Yaguang said, if he could get into the eyes of the other party and ask a few words in front of the leader, then his arrangements after returning to the administrative office might be much brighter. He should go with this.

"Okay, I'll go there." Lu Zhijian made up his mind, but then he thought, "Yam, do you think I need to buy something?"

"Buy something?" Wang Yaguang originally wanted to laugh at the other party. Sha Zhengyang still lacks such things as you, but after savoring it, I think it is inappropriate. People don't blame him for the gift. Sha Zhengyang may not care about the value of the gift itself, but this is a courtesy and a respect for Sha Zhengyang. Maybe this Senior Brother Sha likes this tone?

"Okay, don't buy valuables such as tobacco and alcohol. As far as I know, Senior Brother Sha hates these behaviors, but when you visit him, you are in the name of his junior brother, there is no need to be too expensive. Just buy some of your local specialties, such as bracken, vegetarian vegetables, and tribute tea. It not only reflects your local characteristics, but also has a friendship." Wang Yaguang has indeed understood Sha Zhengyang's situation and is very clear about Sha Zhengyang's style.

"Okay, then I'll go and prepare immediately and go to Baoling Hotel to visit Senior Brother Sha." Lu Zhijian didn't talk much nonsense, "Ya Guang, thank you this time. When you have time, you will come to our Wuling to gather together."

Lu Zhijian put down the phone and went out.

He originally wanted to report to his direct superior's office director Zhou Hua, but after thinking that if he reported to Zhou Hua, Zhou Hua would definitely report to the county magistrate. The whole county would know about it. If he went to a hotel to meet, he was afraid that Sha Zhengyang might not like this situation. So after thinking about it over and over again, he still felt that it was more appropriate to visit him in the name of a junior.

He could also feel it from the conversation with Wang Yaguang on the phone, that is, Wang Yaguang and Sha Zhengyang seemed to be familiar with each other, which also made him a little envious.

Although Wang Yaguang's family is well-off, he should still be said to be very average in terms of connections with the upper class, but he is so familiar with Sha Zhengyang. What does this mean? It means that he is quite sensitive in this regard and will seize every opportunity anytime and anywhere. He will be much slower in this regard, otherwise he would not have finally had a chance to go to the county to work and train, but was ranked in Baoling.

From this, it seems that I still have to learn from Wang Yaguang in many aspects. Fortunately, Wang Yaguang is not bad to me and can still think about myself in this kind of thing.

Walking down the street, most of the shops and restaurants in this small county are already closed.

This is the case in the small county town. There are not many migrant populations, only tens of thousands of people. At night, there are only a few places with business.

One is in the teahouse, and almost everyone who likes to play cards has already been on the table.

The second is cinemas, video halls, billiards rooms, and one or two dance halls. The cinemas are not good now, and few people watch it. The video halls and billiards rooms are doing well, but the consumer group is only a little bit, and they are relatively concentrated. The dance halls also depend on the situation. There are a little more people on weekends, and they are usually deserted and they probably won’t be open for long.

The third is the riverside park on the riverside, where a group of elderly people are walking or practicing dancing, and the number is not large.

Other places are basically dark, dim street lights, undulating streets, and occasionally there are one or two small hotels and teahouses running in corners. Lu Zhijian has been here for almost half a month and probably knows what the activities are in these small hotels and teahouses. Some women who are applying powder come out from time to time, aim at their respective targets and pose. Occasionally, they reach a deal and disappear into the darkness.

Not only Baoling is like this, but the entire Wuling area, except for Wuling City, as the location of the Wuling Regional Administration, has a relatively developed economy and a larger population of migrant population. The other counties are similar, but the situation in Baoling is even worse.

Wuling area has always hoped to change cities like other regions, and hope to withdraw the areas and build cities as soon as possible. However, with the current economic situation of Wuling area, it seems difficult to achieve this goal in a short period of time. Except for Wuling City that barely took the name from the national-level poverty-stricken counties to support the scene, the other six counties are perfectly impoverished counties, and they are much behind much more than those poor counties in Wanzhou, not only in one aspect, but in all aspects.

While walking, I was thinking about where to buy some local specialties. There should be several such shops on the streets of the county town that buy local specialties, but they should have been closed. After thinking about it, there is probably only one of the largest local specialties shops near Baoling Hotel, and I can only go there to purchase them.

You can quickly walk around Baoxi Avenue where the county government is located, and then there is a relatively steep slope. It can make people breathe a few breaths when you walk up. Cross Shunhe Street is Minhe Road where Baoling Hotel is located.

At first glance, Lu Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief and walked in quickly and browsed it. He found that there were many types of local specialties, including vegetarian vegetables, bracken, dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, and other wild vegetables, as well as medicinal wine, mountain bacon, and braised chicken [.] bacon, smoked rabbit and smoked geese. Of course, there are also various local teas with a wide variety but not very famous ones, as well as some gadgets with rattan bamboo weaving.

To be honest, let’s not talk about the quality and taste of these local specialties, but the packaging is difficult to impress. Lu Zhijian also took a long time to choose a few.

Two packs of tea, one is the local famous high-altitude tribute tea, and the other is selenium-rich green tea; one ham and Baoling smoked ham are famous far and wide. They are mainly made of mountain black pigs, and then slaughtered by local free-range black pigs in the mountains, and then marinated and fermented with various processes. Finally, they are smoked with local mountain grass. The process is complex and the taste is extremely delicious.

Tea is not expensive, and two packs are only eighty yuan, but one ham is not cheap, more than two hundred yuan. It cost Lu Zhijian about 300 yuan at once, which still made Lu Zhijian feel a little sad.

He didn't even have a partner, and he originally said he would save some money. After the housing reform, the regional administration is preparing to build a batch of houses. Naturally, he would not be able to make a new house, but the old house he moved out might be able to get a house.

The old houses were not large in size, probably only fifty or sixty square meters, which satisfied Lu Zhijian. Even so, it would probably cost more than 10,000 yuan.

He has not saved any money until now when he started working.

My father is a middle school teacher in a township in Laifeng County. Laifeng is also a poor county that is not much better than Baoling. He has suffered all his life. His mother is a housewife and has been in poor health. He also has a sister studying Wuling Master College and is about to graduate.

My mother was in poor health and was hospitalized for medication intermittently. My father's income was basically only responsible for family expenses, while his sister's school expenses were basically based on him.

Fortunately, my sister is also very sensible and she usually pays very little at school, but after all, she is a girl. He is a brother and can't make her sister too wronged.
