After breakfast, Li Rui told Lu Qingman that he was going to the Qingyang Hotel to see if Song Chaoyang had returned. After that, he took a taxi to the Qingyang Hotel.
Song Chaoyang was obviously not back yet. Otherwise, she would not have promised Li Rui three full days off at the beginning of the holidays. Li Rui wandered around the Qingyang Hotel aimlessly for a while. He did not see Li Xiaoyue or Dong Jieyu. Feeling bored, he went to the Municipal Party Committee building diagonally across the road. He wandered around the secretary's office and waited until it was almost ten o 'clock before returning home. On the way back, he found a Xinhua bookstore and went in to buy a few children's books and history books. He also bought a new bag and a set of stationery. After putting the books and stationery into the new bag, he thought that he was about to do something very meaningful and nodded contentedly.
Before leaving the bookstore and taking a taxi again, he called Ou Yangxin. After the call was connected, he asked, "Beauty, it looks like it's going to rain. Are we still going into the mountains?" Ou Yangxin faintly sighed, "It seems that my charm as a confidante is not big enough. A rain … no, it hasn't even rained yet, and someone is already backing out." Li Rui laughed, "Look at what you're saying. I'm just looking at your willpower, that's all. I'm not backing out. In fact, even if it's raining, as long as my Ou Yangxin wants to go, I'll go with her even if it's raining. " Ou Yangxin burst out laughing, "Don't joke around. Let me see your actions." Li Rui said, "Okay, then it's settled. We'll leave at 12: 30."
Ou Yangxin was shocked, "Why so early? You're not eating? " Li Rui said, "Before we go into the mountains, you have to accompany me to Wulong County. So we have to leave early. I'll eat early, so you should eat early too." Ou Yangxin curiously asked, "Why are we going to Wulong County?" Li Rui teased her, "To see my little lover." Ou Yangxin was stunned for a moment, but after a while she laughed and said, "Why don't you just go and see your little lover? Why do you have to bring me along?" Li Rui smiled and said, "It's on the way. Besides, I only have time to see her today." Ou Yangxin snorted and said, "Let's go, I want to see what your little lover looks like." Li Rui laughed out loud, as if he had profited greatly from her.
The two of them agreed on a place to meet and then hung up the phone.
When they got home, Li Rui asked Lu Qingman for instructions, "In the afternoon, I'm planning to go to Wulong County to see the child I've paired up with. I'm going to give her some books and stationery. After all, we're paired up and have registered with the Municipal Youth Volunteer Committee and the Municipal Youth Volunteer Association. It won't be appropriate if I don't visit her. Besides, I only have time today, so I want to go see her. Also, I have to accompany a friend into the mountains to investigate the wild vegetables project. I want to see if we can set up a poverty alleviation project. "
Lu Qingman was sensitive when she needed to be, such as when she heard the name of a woman related to Li Rui. Most of the time, she was very virtuous and gentle. Therefore, when she heard Li Rui's request, she agreed without hesitation. She even asked if he wanted to buy new clothes for the child.
Li Rui didn't know the measurements of the child he had paired up with, Xu Jianhua. Besides, it had been almost a year since they had paired up. The little girl's body must have changed again. Therefore, it would be difficult to buy suitable clothes for her. Therefore, he could only reject Lu Qingman's suggestion.
At noon, Li Rui finished his lunch in advance. After washing up in the bathroom, he said goodbye to Lu Qingman, picked up his newly bought schoolbag, and walked to the meeting place with Ou Yangxin. In fact, it wasn't anywhere else. It was the roadside by the west gate of Shengjing Hotel. He avoided the main entrance of the hotel, which was crowded with people coming and going. He didn't want to be seen being intimate with the beautiful general manager, Ou Yangxin.
When he arrived, Ou Yangxin had already parked her Mercedes-Benz sedan by the roadside. He walked to the front passenger seat with a smile, opened the door, put his schoolbag on the front passenger seat, and said to his friend sitting in the driver's seat, "Come and sit here. I'll drive."
Today, Ou Yangxin, the general manager of the hotel, was dressed very sportively. She was wearing a black Adidas sportswear. The sportswear was a little loose, but it better set off her slender and beautiful figure. It was also tall where it should be and sunken where it should be. It was very fanciful. She wore a pair of white sneakers on her feet. At first glance, it was obvious that she had specially prepared for mountaineering. When she wore this sportswear, it did not detract from her beauty and charm. It added a bit of youthful and healthy aura to her, which made her even more charming and moving. Li Rui took in her appearance in his eyes and liked her even more.
Ou Yangxin saw him put down the schoolbag that was obviously for students. She was very surprised. She stared at it with her big beautiful eyes and asked puzzledly, "What is this schoolbag for?" Li Rui did not answer, but asked instead, "You guess?" Ou Yangxin glanced at him charmingly and said, "How do you want me to guess? Who knows why you suddenly bring a schoolbag with you? Could it be that you want to carry wild vegetables? " Li Rui smiled and said, "If you don't want to guess, then forget it. Get out of the car. I'll drive. We have to hurry. We don't have much time in the afternoon. The sky is getting darker and darker. I hope it doesn't rain. Do you have an umbrella in the car? "Ou Yangxin said," I have one. Don't worry, it won't rain. "After saying that, she got out of the car.
The two of them got into their respective cars. After fastening their seatbelts, Li Rui turned the car around. He turned left at the crossroads and drove all the way east. His destination was Wulong County, which was directly east.
He focused on driving. Ou Yangxin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, held the schoolbag and observed it. After a while, she suddenly asked, "What's inside? It's quite heavy. Can I open it and take a look?" Li Rui nodded and said, "Of course, why not? Do you still need to ask?" Ou Yangxin said seriously, "Of course I have to ask. What if there's something inside that is not convenient for me to see?" Li Rui smiled and asked, "What could be inside that is not convenient for you to see?" Ou Yangxin smiled and pursed her lips, saying, "Who knows? Maybe it's something that you brought for your little lover. You were afraid that I would see it and laugh at you, so you deliberately put it in the schoolbag as a cover. " Li Rui laughed and said, "That's right. There are things inside that I brought for my little lover. You can open it and take a look."
Ou Yangxin was half convinced and half doubtful. She opened the zipper of the schoolbag and looked inside. When she saw that there were children's books and stationery inside, her expression changed slightly. She said in surprise, "What are you doing?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I'm going to see my little lover. The things inside are for her to use. Why are you still asking?" Ou Yangxin curled her lips and said, "Your little lover is still in school, right? You won't even let a student go? Tsk tsk, you're really a beast in human face. "Li Rui laughed again and said," You just realized? I'm a beast in human face. You just wait. When we're in the mountains and there are only the two of us, I'll show you my beast heart. "Ou Yangxin smiled and rolled her eyes at him, saying," You really don't have the guts … "
The two of them talked and laughed all the way, so they didn't feel lonely on the road. Li Rui drove very fast, so they arrived at Wulong County in half an hour. They spent another ten minutes to arrive at Tudi Village and finally parked the car in front of Xu Jianhua's courtyard.
After getting out of the car, Li Rui picked up the schoolbag and called Ou Yangxin. They walked into the courtyard and soon saw the little girl, Xu Jianhua. Today was a national holiday, so Xu Jianhua was also on holiday. At this time, she was feeding the hens at home. First, she used a knife to chop up the cabbage and rotten leaves on the chopping board. Then, she poured them into a large aluminum bowl. She put in a certain proportion of bran and some other ingredients. Finally, she added water and stirred them evenly. Then, she picked up the large aluminum bowl and walked to the front of the chicken coop. She scooped spoonfuls of food into the food bowl in the chicken coop … It was really a hard job.
Li Rui and Ou Yangxin saw that although she was thin and small, she was skillfully doing the work that should have been done by an adult. They were greatly shocked.
When Xu Jianhua saw Li Rui, she was very happy. She didn't care about feeding the hens. She hurriedly put down the big spoon and ran in front of him. She said, "Hello, Uncle Li." She looked up at him with eyes full of affection and gratitude.
Li Rui squatted down and put his arm around the shoulders of this thin and weak girl, who was only 13 or 14 years old. He first asked about her recent situation and family situation. He also deliberately asked about the difficulties she encountered in life and study. After that, he encouraged her to study hard and strive to be admitted to a university in the future. Finally, he gave her the schoolbag and the things inside it and took out 500 yuan to supplement her family expenses.
The little girl was very sensible. She accepted the schoolbag and other gifts, but she was determined not to accept the 500 yuan. Later, Ou Yangxin persuaded her and gave her an idea. "You can wait until you grow up and earn money. Then you can return the money to your Uncle Li." Only then did she reluctantly agree.
While the three of them were talking, Xu Jianhua's grandmother came out of the house. After learning about Li Rui and Ou Yangming's background, she hurriedly went back to the house to make tea for them. Li Rui tactfully declined her kindness.
Before leaving, Li Rui deliberately gave Xu Jianhua his phone number and told her to contact him for help if she encountered any difficulties. The little girl agreed, but no one knew if she would call him when she was in trouble.
