Xie Sanping pretended to ask casually, "Director Li, I heard that this morning, Hu Liquan, that fellow, invited you to his house for a chat? Can someone sit in his house? He actually dared to invite our honorable city leaders to a place that's worse than a dog kennel. He really doesn't put you in his eyes. " Li Ruixin moved his head and said with a smile, "Yes, he invited me to his house for a chat and asked me some good ways to escape poverty and become rich." Xie Sanping said, "He didn't say anything else?" Li Rui shook his head and said, "No, he just wanted to make money as soon as possible, the more the better. Come, Director Xie, let me toast you. Thank you for your warm hospitality. "
The two drank the wine in their cups and the village's director rushed to refill their cups.
Wang Tiekui said, "Director Li, it's not that I'm looking down on people, but that Hu Liquan really isn't worth paying attention to. All day long he's not serious, spreading rumors and causing trouble everywhere. The villagers all call him Hu Dali. You can't pay attention to him in the future, you have to avoid him. "
Xie Sanping also said, "You must not believe what he says. If you listen to him, you won't even be able to celebrate the New Year. He talks nonsense all day long, no one in the village likes him, they all think he's mentally ill. "
Li Ruixin said, it seems that Hu Liquan's report about the two village committee officials embezzling money to help the poor is true. He hasn't even reported it yet, but these people already couldn't sit still and joined forces to belittle him. Hehe, it's just that I don't want to get involved in this matter, otherwise, you old people in front of me won't be able to escape. He giggled and said, "Yes, yes, the way he speaks is a bit awkward … Okay, let's not talk about him, let's drink, drink."
Everyone toasted and drank, then ate a few mouthfuls of food.
Wang Tiekui asked, "Director Li, is there any poverty alleviation fund or material aid from the city for our Little Dragon King Village this time?" Li Rui followed his lead and said, "There should be, and I reckon there will be quite a lot." Wang Tiekui's eyes lit up, he looked at Xie Sanping and said with a smile, "Oh, how much can there be?" Li Rui's mouth was full of nonsense, "At least tens of millions. In any case, this is a pilot program for poverty alleviation, we have to increase the investment." Wang Tiekui believed him and said in surprise, "That much?"
Xie Sanping cried out in surprise, "Oh my god, how can there be so many?" After he finished speaking, he got up Li's, he asked, "How will the money be distributed to the city to help the people to help to help to the village. Li Rui said, "It should be." Xie Sanping said happily, "Then which leader will bring the money down here? If we want to apply, which leader should we find to sign? "Li Rui smiled faintly and said," Other than me, there shouldn't be anyone else, right? "As soon as he finished speaking, someone kicked him under the table.
Li Rui turned his head and saw Ling Shuyao eating with her head down, but her eyes were full of disdain. He guessed that she was the one who kicked him, so he asked with a smile, "Does Miss Ling have any objections?" Ling Shuyao curled her lips and said, "What objections do I have? You're the supervisor, I'll listen to you. "Li Rui smiled and said," That's the best, the best. "
Wang Tiekui and Xie Sanping just finished looking at each other. Wang Tiekui personally put a chicken thigh into Li Rui's bowl and said with a smile, "Director Li is the best person to manage this money. We're old friends, so it'll be easy to apply for it in the future, right?" Li Rui said, "Of course. What's more, this money was originally going to be invested in Little Dragon King Village, so it's only right for it to be put into the hands of the village's two committees." Wang Tiekui immediately said, "Director Li, you've seen it too. Our village's Party branch office and the village committee share an old house. The environment is too shabby and can't keep up with the times, so we can't receive guests. I think it's necessary to first apply for a batch of funds to upgrade the hardware environment of the village's two committees. Only by upgrading the environment of the village's two committees can they better receive the city and county leaders and provide services to the villagers more attentively. Isn't that right? "
Li Rui said with a smile, "Of course, this is a good idea. Don't worry, I'll definitely support this idea." But in his heart, he was cursing. A group of greedy black wolves. Not only did they embezzle the county's poverty alleviation funds, they even dared to have ideas about the poverty alleviation funds this time. They must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall. They don't know how to write the word 'death' anymore, right? If you piss me off, I'll deal with you first even if I have to be a dog trying to catch a mouse.
Wang Tiekui and Xie Sanping were very happy to see him agree so readily. They called their subordinates to toast him.
After another round of drinks, Xie Sanping said, "Director Li, I heard that some villages in the outskirts of the county have established poverty alleviation development, production, and breeding bases. The benefits are very good, and it has led many villagers to become prosperous. I also want to set up one in our Little Dragon King Village. It can at least solve more than a dozen labor jobs and bring great benefits to more than a dozen villagers. I hope Director Li can also support it. After the funds are given, I'll write an application, and you'll have to sign it for me. "Li Rui asked," How much money do you need to invest to build such a poverty alleviation base? " Xie Sanping said, "Not much, two hundred to three hundred thousand should be enough. The city is going to allocate tens of millions this time, so my money is nothing." Li Rui agreed to everything. He nodded with a smile and said, "There's nothing to say. Director Xie, I'll remember this. You can write an application some other day."
Xie Sanping was very happy. He called his wife to come over and toast Li Rui. He said a lot of words of gratitude, almost praising him as if he was his second parent.
After dinner, Xie Sanping personally drove the family's van to send Li Rui and Ling Shuyao home. After sending them to their door, he opened the back door of the van and took out two cardboard boxes from inside. He said, "Director Li, Director Ling, this is a small gift from me. Thank you for coming to our Little Dragon King Village to help the poor. I hope you don't mind. In the future, we'll work together and spend money together. Hehe, I, Old Xie, am a good friend. You'll know in the future. That's all, I'll go back first, hehe. "He returned to the car with a silly smile and reversed out of the alley. He quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Li Rui opened one of the cardboard boxes and looked inside. It was full of walnuts. Although they were not heavy, they still weighed more than ten kilograms. According to the supermarket price, this box of walnuts was worth three to four hundred yuan. His heart skipped a beat. Xie Sanping had already started to bleed in order to get the poverty relief funds from him.
Li Rui lifted one of the boxes and saw Ling Shuyao standing still. He said, "You don't want it?" Ling Shuyao scolded, "What do you mean? You're taking a bribe, do you know that?" Li Rui laughed and said, "Taking a bribe is to do things for the person. But I'm only taking things and not doing things for him. This is not taking a bribe." Ling Shuyao snorted and said, "What shameless logic! Let me tell you, as long as you accept his benefits, you won't be able to avoid him in the future. "Li Rui said," Then tell me what should I do? Should I send it back to him? I don't think he'll accept it. And if I really send it back, I'll offend him. Besides, you think these two boxes of walnuts are valuable, but to the people living in the mountains, there are walnuts everywhere in front of and behind their houses. It's nothing at all. You should just take it. " Ling Shuyao felt that what he said made sense. She bent down and picked up the box and said, "I'll say this first. You're the one who asked me to take it. If anything happens in the future, you'll be the one to look for, not me." Li Rui smiled and ignored her. He carried the box back to the courtyard.
It was a little past eight in the evening. Li Rui did not rest after returning to his room. He continued to discuss the poverty relief plan and confirm some details. Ling Shuyao was also not careless. She accompanied him in his research. The two of them discussed from time to time. Time passed in this boring work.
It wasn't until ten in the evening that the two of them washed up and went to bed.
At around one o 'clock in the middle of the night, Li Rui was suddenly awakened by Ling Shuyao's scream from the outer room. After waking up, he calmed himself down and made sure that it wasn't a dream. Only then did he crawl up from the heated bed and shout outside, "What's wrong? Ling Chu, did you get stung by a scorpion again? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Shuyao rushed in as if she was being chased by a wolf. She gave him a fright. He turned on the light and asked, "What's wrong?" At this time, he looked at her and saw that her face was deathly pale. Her face was full of panic. She was only wearing warm underwear. Her underwear perfectly outlined the shape of Brother Wen. As for her feet, she was barefoot. She didn't even have shoes. Her two snow-white feet stepped on the cold floor.
Ling Shuyao quickly ran to the kang bed and anxiously called out, "Snake … snake, there's a snake …" Li Rui was slightly stunned and said, "Snake? There are snakes in this season? Didn't they hibernate early? Where is it? " Ling Shuyao had an incredulous expression and said, "I don't know where it crawled out from. Anyway, it crawled into my bed. It scared me to death. Ah, I'm going to die …" Li Rui stared at her in disbelief and said, "Really?" Ling Shuyao said, "You … if you don't believe me, you can go and see … This house is simply uninhabitable. It's fine if there's a scorpion, but there's also a snake. I don't want to live here. I don't dare to live here. I want to go back to the city, back to the city …"
Li Rui didn't quite believe her words. With a skeptical attitude, he got off the kang bed and put on his shoes. When he walked out of the room, he saw that the room was pitch black. There was no light at all. He was very puzzled. Since there was no light, how did Ling Shuyao know that there was a snake in the bed? He walked to the wall and pulled the cord. The room lit up. He then walked to the bed. If he didn't look, he wouldn't have known. When he saw it, he was so shocked that his heart almost stopped!
Wasn't it true? Under Ling Shuyao's bed, near the pillow, there was a small golden snake about a foot long. The small snake lay there motionless. Except for the occasional spitting of its tongue, it didn't seem to be alive at all.
