Chapter 519 Visiting the Village
Coincidentally, someone in Baishi Village had just had a quarrel.
Lv Songli and his people asked around and found out that it was just a trivial matter. Two women were arguing, exposing each other's shortcomings, and quarreling with each other, and then slowly they got really angry and started fighting.
The men from both sides also came out. If someone hadn't stopped it in time, it would have evolved into a fight between two families, or even two major families.
And the one who stopped the development of this situation was the person they were going to investigate this time - Aunt Wang.
After listening to the whole story, Lv Songli and Lu Wei found that Aunt Wang was indeed quite suitable to be a women's officer.
Among their group, Chen Haifeng was a local expert and was particularly familiar with the villages in this area.
Lv Songli and his group were led by him to the village chief's house first.
When they arrived, the village chief rushed back from outside.
"Village Chief Wen!"
When the village chief saw Chen Haifeng, he was kind and a little respectful, "Officer Chen is here? Who are these people?"
"They are all my colleagues." Chen Haifeng said vaguely.
Village Chief Wen nodded, and didn't dare to ask any more questions. After hearing Chen Haifeng's purpose, he was going to take them to Auntie Wang's house.
The village chief's wife came out to see him off. After sending him away, the village chief's daughter-in-law curiously asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, is there a female clerk in the group just now?"
The village chief's wife nodded and said, "It should be."
The village chief's daughter-in-law was surprised. Pingzhou has changed a lot in the past two years. Before, she only heard that female workers could work in workshops and earn monthly wages, and some people became female managers. Now the head of their Pingzhou is a woman, and now there is a female clerk in the government?
Although she didn't know Lu Songli's identity, it didn't stop her from being surprised.
"I don't know why they went to find Auntie Wang?"
"You'll know when your father-in-law comes back."
They walked towards Auntie Wang's house.
Along the way, the road was very clean, and it was obvious that someone had cleaned it.
Chen Haifeng asked about this matter at the signal of Lord Lu.
Village Chief Wen waved his hand, "Well, what's the big deal? The Pingzhou government has arranged people to clean the official road outside regularly. We will take turns to clean it in the village, at least to clear the road. Isn't it more convenient for everyone to go anywhere?"
Village Chief Wen seemed to think that this matter was not worth mentioning.
Lv Songli and his group were silent after hearing this. After the government office took the lead, the people consciously did the rest.
Next, Chen Haifeng talked to Village Chief Wen about the situation in Baishi Village, and then asked him if there were any difficult things in the village.
After hearing this, Village Chief Wen looked at Lu Songli and Lu Wei and hesitated whether to say it.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"The villagers want to send their children to school, but the nearest private school is too far from our Baishi Village. We want to raise money to build one, but it's not enough. We discussed with the two nearby villages, and the three villages contributed together. It's okay. I hope the government can help with the teacher of this private school." What Village Chief Wen didn't dare to say was that it would be great if the government could support the construction of the private school. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was more important to hire a good teacher. What if the government felt that the requirements of Baishi Village were too many and rejected one or two of them, then it would be a loss.
Lu Songli thought to himself that the village chief of Baishi Village was quite thoughtful.
"Village Chief Wen, you are very conscious." Lu Songli smiled at the side.
"No, no, Mr. Lu, thank you for your compliment." Village Chief Wen learned from their conversation that the man in front of him was surnamed Lu. When he heard this surname and thought of the person who is now in charge of Pingzhou, he was a little grumbling in his heart, but he felt that it was not such a coincidence, right?
"It's not that I am conscious, but in our Pingzhou, illiterate children are suffering too much now."
Young people go out to find work, and better jobs require literacy, and such jobs pay more.
"Village Chief Wen, the Pingzhou government is already thinking of ways to solve these problems you are worried about. It won't be long before the government is going to build a batch of schools to facilitate children's studies."
Village Chief Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, "This is good, this is good. When will it start to be built? Will there be one in every village?"
"How can it be built in every village? We can only try to build one between three or four villages." Lu Songli smiled.
The old man, Village Chief Wen, smacked his lips and said, "That's good."
"In addition to the school, a health center will be built, but the health center will be built a little slower."
After Village Chief Wen understood what a health center was, he was very satisfied with the arrangement of the Pingzhou government office. When the health center is built, it will be much more convenient for the common people to see a doctor.
Lv Songli told him, "It takes time to train doctors. There are still too few doctors in Pingzhou."
"But before that, literacy classes will be opened first."
Village Chief Wen was surprised to hear this. He didn't expect that many illiterate people in the village would have the opportunity to read and learn to write?
Lv Songli gradually popularized some of the things that the Pingzhou government would do next with the old village chief.
The first thing is to build a village committee team. This is the foundation. After it is done, there will be literacy classes, schools, and health centers later...
Village Chief Wen quickly said that he would definitely cooperate with them.
"Secretary Lu, no, Lord Lu, you are the superior of Secretary Chen, right? You don't have to deny it, the old man can see it." Village Chief Wen said proudly.
Lu Songli laughed, "I guess so."
On the way, when talking about Aunt Wang, Village Chief Wen also gave her affirmation.
"She is less selfish and fair in her comments and judgments. All the ladies and young men in the village admire her. I think it will work for her to be a female official."
Wang's family
Aunt Wang and her daughter were busy pressing oil in the kitchen, and at the same time they were discussing the matter of breaking up the fight just now.
"Mom, you are so powerful. If you hadn't persuaded Aunt Wei and Aunt Liu, they would have fought."
"Hey, your mother only has some persuasive skills. She doesn't deserve such praise."
"The key is that others are willing to listen to your advice."
Aunt Wang didn't hide her secrets and said to her daughter, "This is a skill. To break up a fight, you have to understand the reason why they are quarreling. The most important thing is not to be biased. You can't just talk about the faults of one party, and when criticizing others, you have to You can criticize her on the matter, but you can't deny her character. For example, you can't say that she has an extreme temper and has bad moral character. "
After Lu Songli, Lu Wei and others went to Mrs. Wang's house and knocked on the door, Mr. Wang was weaving baskets in the main room. When he heard the door ringing, he went to open the door.
After they entered the yard, they happened to hear the conversation between Aunt Wang and her daughter.
Master Duan Shui, Lu Songli said in her heart.
Others also nodded secretly. After hearing this, this Aunt Wang was indeed very good at handling neighborhood disputes.
Uncle Wang saw the village chief bringing so many people, and they all looked different from ordinary people, so he asked a little awkwardly, "Village Chief, what's the matter?"
Village Chief Wen: "Go to the main room and talk."
Uncle Wang quickly invited people into the house.
"We are here to find your man, please call him over."
Uncle Wang was extremely worried. He murmured and did not move.
Village Chief Wen urged him, "Hurry up, it's a good thing."
At this time, Lu Wei smiled and said, "I guess they are refining oil in the kitchen, look at the fragrance filling the room."
Lu Songli also nodded, "It seems that the common people are living a pretty good life."
Village Chief Wen added, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone will try their best to cook something delicious at the end of the New Year. The past two years have been good, and everyone is willing to buy some meat during the Chinese New Year."
At this time Aunt Wang came in a little cautiously.
Village Chief Wen quickly called her in.
"My lords, do you have any business with me?"
"Don't be nervous, Aunt Wang. We are looking for you because we have something to tell you..."
Aunt Wang never expected that because she was good at mediating neighborhood disputes, she would be appreciated by the Pingzhou government officials and promoted her to be a women's officer.
Although there is no salary, some rice, flour, grain and oil benefits will be given during the New Year and holidays.
