Wang Lan's singing was excellent, melodious yet powerful, gentle yet passionate. She performed "Qing Ping Le. Liu Pan Shan" with exquisite skill, invigorating the spirits of these leaders who had come from the misty rain of Jiangnan. The audience erupted in thunderous applause, and some couldn't help but shout: “Director Wang, you sing so well!” “Director Wang, you are so talented!” “A native of Ninggan is both a singer and dancer!”Xiao Zheng was also quite surprised. In the Ninggan Reception Office, there was someone who was almost like a professional singer. 。Xiao Zheng looked towards the leaders in front of him, Lu Zaixing, Zhang Wei, and Gu Cuiping. They were clapping too, but not as enthusiastically. After all, as leaders, they were more restrained. 。Wang Lan addressed the microphone and said, "I apologize for this humble performance in front of all the leaders! Now, I'd like to introduce you all to the Ninggan's wine order. Perhaps you might find it useful these days." 。"I'm teaching everyone for free, no charge!"
Everyone laughed. 。Some people also cheered with a "Good!" 。Lu Zai-xing and Gu Cuiping glanced at each other. 。In fact, Lu's trip out this time was mainly to implement the decisions and deployments of Huaxing, promote pairing assistance work, and the key point is to solve problems. 。This requires a resolute attitude and a tough style. 。Therefore, he did not want people to drink alcohol, let alone get drunk. 。Of course, Gu Cuiping was also aware of this. 。But now, receiving them at the airport are the Head and Deputy Head of the Reception Office. This Deputy Director Wang even taught everyone a drinking toast! Could this not be a sign that they will be greeted with a grand feast of wine later?
During this era, alcohol was in vogue, and there was no prohibition yet. For a place to welcome guests, the most direct and effective way was undoubtedly through drinking. 。The person from Jiangzhong came to support the partnering, Ninggan side would definitely have some expression, this is inevitable. 。Only Wang Lan's voice could be heard, spreading through the microphone: "Leaders, I don't know how Jiang Zhong's drinking order is. But our Ning Gan's drinking order is quite complicated. Today, I'll tell you one that's easiest to remember..." 。Listen carefully everyone <<< 。Gu Cuiping naturally wouldn't care to listen. She could drink, but in this situation today, she wasn't planning on drinking. 。To come to a poor area and drink people's wine and eat their food, in her view, would be inappropriate. 。Some deputy department heads and section chiefs were still quite interested, listening intently with their ears perked up. 。Ning Gang Reception Office Deputy Director Wang Lan introduced: "The drinking rule for this fist-bumping game is as follows: 'One star, two joys, three branches, four steps, five leaders, six connected, seven glances, eight horses tied, nine drops, ten full.'" 。Wang Lan also introduced how to guess punches, etc. 。Some cadres in the river were playing games on their seats. 。
After a whole day of flying and driving, some officials are indeed tired and need to relax. Some people also plan to have a good drink of Ninggan wine later. 。But at this time, Gu Cuiping, the head of the Discipline Inspection Team sitting in front, cleared her throat twice. The cadres who were playing rock-paper-scissors reminded each other and fell silent. 。Even the cadres of Ninggan had noticed that the leaders from Jiangzhong still adhered to strict discipline, preventing the inspection team's cadres from being too frivolous and lax. 。“Wang Director, why don’t you give the leaders here a brief introduction about Ninggan? Let them understand us better and more comprehensively.” 。Wang Lan then said: “Okay” 。“
To all the leaders of Ningxia, we are a precious land in the northwest of our motherland. Located upstream of the Yellow River, it was an indispensable part of the ancient Silk Road. The majestic Helan Mountains stretch across the northwest, while the imposing Red Sixth Pan Mountain stands guard in the south. The mighty Yellow River meanders through nine bends, nurturing the beautiful and fertile Ningxia Plain, creating a 'Jiangnan on the frontier' with fragrant rice, abundant fish, and overflowing fruits…”
This description made Xiao Zheng feel as if he had arrived at an ancient homeland rich in history, prosperity, and natural beauty. He almost forgot his mission of poverty alleviation.” 。However, our Ninggan province is also a province with very unbalanced development. 。The main reason is that the northern part of Ninggan is an irrigation area using the Yellow River, the middle part is a dry and barren ridge belt, and the southern part is mountainous. 。The Yellow River Irrigation District created "Jiangnan of the North," but the central and southern regions are not ideal, so their development lags behind. The common people's lives are difficult..."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng felt that what Director Wang said was relatively realistic. 。Xiao Zheng took out his information again and found that Jiang Xiaohui's hometown, "Xihai Tou", should be in the central arid ridge zone, which is the place Jiang Xiaohui said was "hell" compared to "Jiangnan on the Grassland". 。In that case, the advance inspection team should prioritize visiting the central arid zone and southern mountainous region to gather firsthand information. This will lay a solid foundation for research and development of poverty alleviation measures in the future. 。As Wang Lan's introduction, in the depths of the night, the bus had already entered the city center of Yinzhou. 。Unlike the dry, dusty, and gray northwest city Xiao Zheng imagined, this Yinzhou at night is a sight to behold. With twinkling lights, winding rivers, imposing buildings, and abundant vegetation, it's not as beautiful and prosperous as Hangzhou, but it certainly rivals Jingzhou in charm. 。It seems that after all, it is the provincial capital. The provincial capital in the northwest is still the provincial capital. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. 。This Yinzhuang, should be the core area of "Jiangnan on the Silk Road". 。。Ninggan side received the Jiangzhong inspection team with VIP treatment!
The bus stopped 。Registration is handled with the assistance of specialized personnel, followed by a welcome into the residence by a local service attendant. 。Leaders at the director level and above have single rooms on the first floor, while deputy directors also have single rooms on the same floor. Everyone else shares two-person rooms on a lower floor. 。Xiao Zheng, Ma Kai, Jiang Xiaohui and others were all on the lowest floor. 。When checking in, Ma Kai requested to room with Xiao Zheng so that they could enter and exit together at night. 。Lu's room was next to Gu Cuiping's. 。After Lou, the secretary, had arranged a room for Minister Lu, she accompanied him to Director Zhang Wei's room at the poverty alleviation office and then asked Lou to call Gu Cuiping over. 。Minister Lu asked: "Are you all still comfortable living here?"
Director Zhang Wei replied: "It's comfortable, the conditions here are not much worse than in Hangzhou." 。"It's so nice here! We came to help with poverty alleviation, not for a vacation," said Gu Cuiping. 。The local government's conditions are also not good, they could have arranged for us to be alright. 。“Zhang Weidao: ‘People know we are from the Jiang area, and they want to show the utmost respect to their host. This is understandable.’” 。"
Gu Cuiping looked at him and said, "This is understandable. As the saying goes, 'Even if you are poor, you can't mistreat your guests'! But we still need to communicate with the other party. The reception standards can be lowered appropriately, and we should save wherever possible. This money could allow several children in poverty-stricken areas to go to school for a year." 。Minister Lu nodded and said, "Director Gu is right. " 。

Waste not, want not.

。Mr. Zhang, please convey our thoughts to the counterpart's reception manager. Of course, be mindful of your approach and manner. 。“Yes, Minister Lu, I understand. I will be careful.” 。"
Gu Cuiping said again: "Minister Lu, just now in the car, the reception office was teaching us how to play rock-paper-scissors. It seems that they are going to entertain us with a big feast tonight." 。In my personal opinion, this is also inappropriate. 。We came here for poverty alleviation, but ended up feasting and drinking. If the local people find out, they will surely be indignant; if those in Beijing find out, they will also think that our Jiangzhong cadres have problems with their work style. 。"This time I brought along Chief Gu, and it was obviously the right decision!" Lu Zaixing nodded in agreement. "With Chief Gu by our side, constantly reminding us, our conduct is guaranteed." 。But, there's one thing 。I once queued in Ninggan, the government and people here are very hospitable and also value face. They are rough around the edges but with passion. 。We traveled far and wide to help with poverty alleviation, they certainly hope to treat us well. 。If we were just cold and impersonal, always sticking to the rules, it would seem too heartless and aloof. 。We do more than just poverty alleviation work; we're also building relationships. Only when the bond between our Jiangzhong and Ninggan people is strong can we effectively carry out the rest of our tasks. 。We have accepted the Huaxing mission, and poverty alleviation must be effective. Therefore, poverty alleviation work is a two-way street. It's not just that they need our help, but we also need the assistance of the local people. 。This way, we can all work together and do a good job. 。“Having listened to Minister Lu's speech, it's like reading ten years' worth of books.” 。"Minister Lu, it seems that my previous thought was too simplistic." 。My supervisory work is not just about addressing issues factually, but also about considering the effectiveness of poverty alleviation efforts in my approach. 。"Minister Lu said with great pleasure: “You two are very quick learners, I’m very pleased.” 。However, there's one point that Chief Gu wants you to pay attention to. 。Food needs to be eaten, drinks need to be had, and the atmosphere needs to be right, but none of it should go overboard. 。It's best if we can drink less, and definitely avoid getting drunk. 。This is something that needs to be grasped. 。The next meal is our first human touch in Ninggan, we must grasp it well. 。“OK, Minister Lu. Could you give me ten minutes? I want to say hello to my colleagues and let them know what’s going on.” 。Minister Lu said: "That's very good." 。Let's go down in ten minutes. 。Gu Cui-ping went to chat with everyone on the two floors below, unifying their thoughts. 。
503 is the room of Xiao Zheng and Ma Kai. 。Because he was waiting for his leader to call them to eat, Ma Kai opened the door and turned on the TV, watching a program featuring dances by local Hui girls. 。Xiao Zheng was muttering under his breath, "One Xingxing, two Xixi, three Zhizhi, four Dengdeng, five Kuishou, six Lianlian, seven Qiaochiao, eight Mashuan, nine Jiudi, ten Manduan." 。Then he went over and over the gesture, flipping it this way and that in his mind, making the motions with his fingers, already becoming familiar with it. 。Ma Kai smiled and said, “What? Are you going to play rock-paper-scissors with me?” Xiao Zheng didn't tell him the truth, but replied, “I just think it's fun.” 。"Ma Kai said, "Tonight, let's go have some drinks with the Hui women. You can play games and drink with them!"
"Who wants to drink with Hui women?" an elderly woman's voice sounded outside. 。At the sound of Disciplinary Inspection Team Leader Gu Cuiping's voice, Ma Kai sprang up from the bed like a spring, smiling and greeting her: "Team Leader Gu, what brings you here?"
