After a while, Ling Shuyao returned to the room and closed the door. She glanced at the stockings hanging on the back of the chair and couldn't help but look at Li Rui who was lying on the single bed. She stared at him for a while and said softly, "Did I turn off the light?" Li Rui opened his eyes and looked at her, saying, "Turn it off. I didn't stop you from turning it off." When Ling Shuyao heard his provocative words, she couldn't help but get angry, "Tsk, why don't you turn it off yourself? I'm not turning it off, you can turn it off yourself. "Li Rui laughed," I was kind enough to leave the light on for you to go to the bathroom. "Ling Shuyao snorted, saying," Hypocrite! You have good intentions? "After saying this, she walked towards the west room with her unique confident and arrogant gait.
Li Rui sat up and shouted, "Stop!" Ling Shuyao stopped and asked, "What?" Li Rui laughed, "Turn off the light before you leave. Otherwise, you're not allowed to leave." Ling Shuyao couldn't help but laugh coldly, saying, "What kind of rule is this? Hmph, I'm not going to turn it off for you today. Let's see what you can do to me! "She continued walking as she said this. Li Rui jumped off the bed and shouted, "You're not going to turn it off for me?" He had already chased after her. Ling Shuyao jogged all the way to the west room and laughed, "If you want to turn it off, turn it off yourself. Don't blame me."
Li Rui chased after her to the door and wanted to push it open, but he raised his hand and put it down again. He went back to the door and turned off the light before returning to his own bed to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Li Rui got up early to cook. He didn't make any complicated breakfast, just noodles and soup.
He didn't know when, but Ling Shuyao's voice suddenly came from behind him. "It's really been hard on you." Li Rui turned to look at her and asked curiously, "What's so hard about it?" Ling Shuyao looked at him gently and said, "As Song Shuji's secretary, you have a bright future ahead of you. If you work for him for a few years, you'll be the deputy head of the county. But now, you have to cook by yourself every day. Isn't this hard on you?" Li Rui could feel from her tone and attitude that she seemed to have become closer to him. He didn't know if it was because he helped her wash her feet and joked around with her last night, but he was still very happy. He said, "Sigh, didn't I get this task? There was nothing that could be done about it. By the way, what plans do you have for your future? Do you want to continue working in the political research department? "
Ling Shuyao said, "I'm just a woman. What future do I have? I'll just eat my fill in the political research department and wait for death. " Li Rui said, "No, I think you're very smart. With your ability, it's not a problem for you to become a government official in the county." Ling Shuyao said, "It's not a problem, but it'll be very tiring. You've known me for a while now. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can endure hardships?" Li Rui laughed and said, "In any case, if there's such an opportunity, I'll recommend you to Song Shuji." Ling Shuyao frowned and said, "Don't do this to me … I'd rather not be promoted and come to this small ravine to help the poor. At least there'll be someone to wash my feet for me."
The two of them looked at each other and could see the smile and warmth in each other's eyes. Li Ruixin was very pleased. He thought to himself that he wasn't far from completely conquering this woman.
After Ling Shuyao washed up and waited for Li Rui to prepare breakfast, they ate together and immersed themselves in the work of the day.
Half of the new application for small loans for the poor had been implemented. Poor families could find someone to be their guarantor and they could also get loans. Therefore, Li Rui's main job today was to help Hu Liquan and the others get loans.
According to the new regulations, a guarantor could only provide a guarantee for one poor family. They couldn't provide guarantees for others at the same time. Li Rui didn't care about this. He contacted Hanshui County's deputy county head, Gu Changshun, who was in charge of helping the poor, and asked him to communicate with the local bank head. The bank head took his identity into consideration and specially approved this rule. Therefore, Li Rui used his salary card as a guarantor to help Hu Liquan and the others get loans.
Hu Liquan only got a loan of 3,000 yuan. The other young men either got 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. In total, they got a loan of more than 40,000 yuan. This amount of money was a huge amount for Li Rui's salary. However, for his financial ability, it was nothing.
Hu Liquan knew that Li Rui also had three treasures in his hands. He could earn more than a million yuan by selling them. Therefore, he wasn't worried about whether he could pay back the loans. He also didn't thank him for his kindness. However, the young men were deeply moved. After the loan procedures were completed, they surrounded him and expressed their gratitude.
With the loan in hand, these people could start the businesses that they wanted to start. Li Rui and Ling Shuyao helped them contact various channels and helped them buy raw materials, equipment, seeds, and so on. After a few days, the nine poor families all started their construction projects in their own courtyards. Some dug holes, some put up sheds, and some built houses. All of them were in full swing and shocked the neighbors. Everyone ran to their houses to watch the bustle. Li Rui and Ling Shuyao took the opportunity to promote the benefits of this project to these stubborn people. However, the results were minimal.
Hu Liquan's scorpion house was the first to be built. He was also the first to start breeding.
The so-called scorpion house was a small house built with bricks and stones. The top of the house was covered with something like linoleum, asbestos, and so on. As long as it didn't rain, it would be fine. Inside the small house, broken bricks and tiles were placed on the ground according to the living habits of scorpions for the scorpions to hide in and look for food. After that, they caught some local scorpions from the mountains and put them in. Then, they were done.
The onlookers were amazed. "You can make money by raising these things? Who would believe that? "" Hu Liquan must be out of his mind. Why would he raise these things? "" I've lived all my life, and I've never heard that raising scorpions could make money. "" Raising scorpions can get rid of poverty and become rich? Are you kidding me? "
When Hu Liquan heard these words, he was neither angry nor refuted. He looked at the people with a smile and said in his heart, "You idiots, I won't really rely on raising scorpions to get rid of poverty and become rich. This is just my trick."
Li Rui pulled Hu Liquan to the side and whispered, "Don't scorpion breeding experts recommend greenhouse breeding? If you build such a small house and can't maintain the temperature, won't the scorpions hibernate? How can they reproduce and grow if they hibernate? " Hu Liquan laughed and whispered, "Others may not know, but you know. I'm just putting on an act. Can I really rely on this to make money? Hehe, you can't. "Li Rui said earnestly," I think your way of thinking is wrong. Yes, you have something to rely on. Once you sell that thing, you'll become a millionaire. But my big brother, you have to think about it. Money will run out. What will you do when it runs out? How will you live a good life? How will your child study, get into university, and buy a house in the future? You have to consider all these. You have to plan ahead. Before the money runs out, you have to find an endless source of money. And raising scorpions is the most suitable way for you to earn money. "
Hu Liquan felt that his words made sense. He nodded and said, "Then what should I do? Don't tell me I have to tear down this small house to build a greenhouse? "Li Rui said," Of course, you have to do what the experts say. You have to remember, from the beginning, you have to fight steadily and surely. Step by step, you have to be strict with yourself. At the same time, you have to be strict with the quality of the greenhouse. Don't be greedy for small gains and ruin the big picture. Only when you have a solid foundation can you develop better in the future. "Hu Liquan said," That's the principle and I understand it. But that will cost more money. "Li Rui said," Go for a loan again. I'll continue to be your guarantor. The investment now is just a small amount of money. You'll understand when you earn money in the future. "
Hu Liquan said, "Oh." Li Rui said, "You can learn from our poverty alleviation pilot project. First, build a greenhouse as a pilot project. If it's successful and you earn money, I don't need to say anything. You'll definitely increase your investment and expand the breeding scale. I hope that you can make the scorpion breeding big and strong and make a brand. Not only will it bring you an endless amount of pure income, it will also help the villagers become rich. If you alone can help ten people escape poverty and become rich, then you'll be worthy of being called a great hero. The whole Little Dragon King Village will remember you, Hu Liquan. If you can help twenty or more people become rich, then you'll be a real hero. Who knows, maybe the next village chief will be you. "
Hu Liquan was very excited by his words. He said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do it properly. In any case, I have a plan in mind and I'm not afraid of losing money." Li Rui patted his shoulder and gave him another reassurance. He said, "You just have to do your best in raising scorpions. You don't have to worry about sales. I'll take care of everything. Even if you lose money, I'll help you pay off the debt. "Hu Liquan was very moved. He said," Director Li, you're really a good friend. You're really a good person. Just because you think so highly of me, this time I'll also make a name for myself. "
After going down the mountain, Li Rui received a call from Li Yulan. She asked him to find the boss of the investment company to sign a partnership agreement. She also asked him to pass on some relevant matters to the boss.
Li Rui turned around and called Ding Yijing to ask her for help. The two of them had already agreed on this matter, so Ding Yijing agreed after hearing.
After they finished talking about business, Ding Yijing said, "You've already returned to the city, right? This time you have to treat me to a meal. "Li Rui smiled bitterly and said," You guessed wrong. I'm still in the countryside helping the poor. "Ding Yijing said," Okay then, we'll talk about it later. "Li Rui asked," You've already received the jujubes, right? Is it still good? "Ding Yijing said," My teeth are still upside down. "Li Rui was shocked. He laughed and said," Really? I remember it was very sweet. "Ding Yijing said," Don't you know that everyone has different tastes? You think it's sweet, but I think it's sour. "
After the call, Li Rui asked Ling Shuyao, "The jujubes I picked for you that day were very sour?" Ling Shuyao nodded and said, "Yes, very sour!"
