"Hedong is the capital of Beijiang Province and an old industrial city. With the rich coal resources given to it by nature and the continuous stream of river water, the industry here has sprouted since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, gradually growing and growing, and has grown to this day.

Although many surrounding cities have experienced natural disasters such as famine, this place has always been like a paradise, and people seem to be more energetic.

However, with the depletion of resources in recent years, Hedong has also shown signs of destruction.

The history of the construction of this city can be traced back to the mid-1980s. At that time, the urban planning here was regarded as a benchmark. However, many main roads have become bumpy due to disrepair. Some places even have exposed stones. Most of the residential buildings and office buildings on both sides of the street are old-fashioned. Most of the two-story door-head rooms along the street are signs made of lanterns. At night, the light boxes light up and the light is dim. A scene from the 1990s is old and dirty.

What is more terrifying than the desolation of the city is the depression of people's hearts. Perhaps due to long-term abundance, people here have become conservative and unprofitable, and the whole city has gradually become quiet, and more and more young people with great enthusiasm and ability have begun to escape.

Seeing that being caught up by surrounding cities, Hedong City is under increasing pressure and accelerating the pace of development and transformation. The North-to-East expansion strategy was launched under this background. In the North-to-East expansion plan, the demolition and transformation of Luohe Village is crucial.

According to the plan, in the next five to ten years, the new district will be built on industries such as financial Internet. The most core of them is a CBD, including the construction of a two-way 10-lane ultra-wide high-end office building group and large supermarkets. In order to attract enterprises in this province and other provinces to settle in, the local government also plans to relocate the best hospitals and schools in the city here.

The reconstruction of Luohe Village can be said to have a single impact. It is related to whether the entire new city construction can be carried out as scheduled, and also to whether Hedong City can overtake and return to the top position in Beijiang Province.

Luohe Village is located in the suburban junction of the southeastern Hedong City. It has a cultivated land area of ​​more than 300 acres and more than 300 villagers. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of people from the Luo family moved here from Sichuan and named Luohe Village. Today, Luohe Village has about 200 households in Luohe Village, which is still the largest surname. The surname Xu is second only to the 100 families of the clan. In addition, there are foreign surnames such as Wang Chen.

Of course, with the advancement of urbanization and the gradual increase of villagers going out to work, the countryside in China is far from being a traditional gentry society, and the big surnames are no longer the dominant party of the rural autonomy structure. Some rural talented people with pioneering spirit and management minds are gradually emerging and becoming the leaders of the village. The same is true for Luohe Village.

Speaking of rural talented people in Luohe Village, 37-year-old Xu Changlin is considered the number one person. Xu Changlin's family is the second largest surname in Luohe Village. Although it is a big family, he was born in a standard small family. His father and brothers were five, but he was the only one born.

What's even more unfortunate is that my father suffered from lung disease in his early years because of working, and left the mother and son behind. Not only that, in order to treat his father, the family spent more than 100,000 yuan, but also owed a lot of debts.

Since childhood, Xu Changlin chose the path of most of his peers and came out to be a social group after graduating from junior high school. As the saying goes, society is the best university. Xu Changlin gradually adapted to the law of survival and was well-behaved: 10 years ago, a highway under construction passed through Luohe Village, and the stone and earthwork of the roadbed and piers needed suppliers. Xu Changlin seized this opportunity and borrowed 100,000 yuan from relatives and neighbors, and took over this project and earned the first pot of gold in his life.

Xuchanglin, who tasted the sweetness from the project, became uncontrollable, and contracted various construction site projects everywhere, opened a restaurant in the township, and became a well-known successful person in the local area.

When business is good, Xuchanglin is in a prosperous business and wants to show his strength in the village. In the village committee election two years ago, Xuchanglin and Luo Jingchen ran on the same stage. The villagers thought that Luo Jingchen's family had great power and had prestige in the village, and there was no doubt that they were elected, but they did not expect Xuchanglin broke through the siege like a dark horse and was finally successfully elected.

Compared with Xuchanglin's grassroots origins, Luo Jingchen is more like a faith-like existence in Luohe Village.

In the early 1980s, Luo Jingchen became the first high school student in the village - knowledgeable and well-written. At that time, anyone in the village had a wedding and wedding invitation and had to write for him; if he had any difficult family chores, he would also solve it. In addition, his family was huge and older, and over time, the villagers saw his perspectives rising more and more. When they talked to him, they would sit upright and called him uncle respectfully.

In the village committee team, the pair Xu Changlin and Luo Jingchen are a strange existence.

Xu Changlin, 37, is the village committee director, and Luo Jingchen, 61, is the deputy director; elders and juniors are the deputy. In the small circle of Luohe, this topic is enough for the villagers in the village to discuss for half a year, which is a strange thing.

Xuchanglin is a rookie in the officialdom and has been in politics for less than one term (three years). Luo Jingchen has been a village cadre for more than ten years. In terms of qualifications and prestige, he is above Xuchanglin. This is a strange second.

As for the third strangeness, the first two strangenesses are not considered strange. Why do you say that? The Luo family and the Li family have never been in conflict with each other. This is an open secret in the village.

In rural areas, a large number of people is the hard truth. The Luo family is a big surname and has a natural sense of superiority. Although the Li family has few people, there have been many capable people in recent years, so they naturally do not want to be inferior to others. The big surname always wants to suppress the small surname everywhere, but sometimes they can't help, so there is no way, so they use their fists to reason, so conflicts happen from time to time.

The villagers originally thought that the village committee had many conflicts, but on the contrary, Luo Jingchen told the younger generations many times in public and private occasions that family conflicts and public affairs are different. It is not important who is the village director. The key is to lead the villagers to become rich. If a Luo family deliberately makes trouble, Luo Jingchen will be the first to refuse. As soon as this was said, none of the people of the same clan dared to disobey. Xu Changlin knew that he was not worthy of prestige, so he tried to discuss everything with Luo Jingchen.

Because of this, the two became a golden partner in the town, which brought many benefits to the development of Luohe Village.

The year before yesterday, Xu Changlin was elected as the village director for the first year, and rebuilt the road to the outside world through fundraising throughout the village. Of course, the big part of the money was the one who came from Xuchanglin. Last year, under the promotion of Xuchanglin, everyone selected a sanitation officer from the villagers to be responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the village. Luohe Village's appearance has greatly improved. Among them, Luo Jingchen also played a significant role.

Farmers are the most practical, and the criteria for evaluating good and mediocre officials are also very simple: can they bring benefits to everyone? Xu Changlin and Luo Jingchen have done so many things in two years, so they are naturally recognized and supported by the villagers."
