Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Li Rui and Ling Shuyao had already been in Little Dragon King Village for three weeks to help the poor. Living in such a poor mountain village could be described as a year. They could not eat well, they could not stay well, there was no entertainment, and there were very few social engagements. They had to deal with the lazy, greedy, and cunning poor people all day long. It was really boring. But fortunately, the two of them finally made it. The first batch of poor people who responded to poverty alleviation had already started their own small businesses. Scorpions, otter rabbits, ducks, and so on bloomed everywhere. Although there was no poverty alleviation effect for the time being, the framework was finally set up. If there were no accidents, there would be a considerable harvest next spring. In addition to Zhang Liwen, who took the path of making rockery and bonsai, there were more than 80 poor people in Little Dragon King Village who had taken the lead to join the ranks of poverty alleviation. It could be said that Li Rui and Ling Shuyao's poverty alleviation pilot work had achieved great success.
After learning about this situation, Song Chaoyang was quite satisfied with the two's work. He thought that there was no point in them staying any longer, so he let them go back.
So, it was time to say goodbye to Little Dragon King Village.
Different from the warm welcome they received when they came, when the two of them left, only a few village cadres, Hu Liquan, Zhang Liwen, and more than a dozen people came to see them off.
The farewell scene was relatively quiet compared to the welcome scene, but Li Rui was very happy. The reason was none other than the fact that the people who had welcomed him earlier had only welcomed him because of his status and the fact that he had Song Chaoyang behind him. They did not truly welcome him as a person. However, the people who were sending him off today had truly come to send him off. Why did he say that? In the process of helping them out of poverty, he helped them see the hope of becoming rich and gained their recognition. That was why they were willing to take the initiative to see him off. To be able to exchange the sincerity of these poor people, the dozens of days of suffering before were nothing.
Looking at Hu Liquan, Zhang Liwen, and the other old acquaintances, Li Rui was really reluctant to leave them. He glanced at Li Feiyan, who was standing beside Zhang Liwen, and felt even more upset.
He called Zhang Liwen aside and said with a frown, "You promised me that you would take Yan 'er to the county hospital for a physical examination. Why haven't you gone yet?" Zhang Liwen just laughed. Li Rui wished he could kick him in the face and said, "Fine, I'm being a busybody. What does it have to do with me whether you have children or not? In the future, I won't care about you anymore. " Zhang Liwen quickly said, "Aiya, Director Li, it's not that I don't want to go. I'm just thinking that if I have the time, I might as well make a few more bonsai. Making bonsai is money, but going to the hospital for a checkup is money … "
Li Rui was so angry that he almost laughed. He thought about it and said, "How about this, I'll leave you my contact number. When you go to the city to deliver bonsai, give me a call. I'll contact a friend at the city hospital to do a checkup for you and your wife. If you do a checkup in the city, no one in your village will know. No one will laugh at you. "Zhang Liwen said," Fine, I'll have to trouble you. Haha. "
Li Rui left him his contact number and turned around to shake hands with Hu Liquan and the others. Finally, he saw the village director, Xie Sanping, and shook hands with him.
Xie Sanping held his hand and asked, "Director Li, are you going to come back?" Li Rui said, "Maybe I will, maybe I won't." Xie Sanping asked, "Then are the city's poverty alleviation funds going to come down?" Li Rui secretly sneered. He thought that this guy was only thinking about the tens of millions in poverty alleviation fund that he had casually mentioned. He had no interest in helping the poor in the village out of poverty. He and Ling Shuyao had been busy these past few days, but he had never taken the initiative to help with any coordination or persuasion. Was he still worthy of being the village chief? He wanted to tease him, so he said seriously, "The city is approving it. It will be released in a while. Quickly think of a good project and find someone to sign it. "
Xie Sanping's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said happily, "Really? That's great! But if you leave, who will I find to sign it? " Li Rui smiled and said, "The city will send a new cadre. If no one comes, it will be handed over to your county's poverty alleviation office. You can do as you see fit." Xie Sanping nodded and said, "Okay, okay. I'll start preparing now. Haha, this is good news."
When they were on the road, Li Rui sighed and said, "I finally know how difficult it is to be a basic cadre. I also know how difficult it is to help the poor." Ling Shuyao ignored him and only asked, "What's the first thing you're going to do when you return to the city?" Li Rui thought for a while and said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I'll treat you to a big meal. After dinner, we'll find a place to relax. How about that?" Ling Shuyao snorted and said, "I'm too lazy to move."
Li Rui shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything. He made up his mind to find Xuefei tonight. He would first go to the Drunken Immortal restaurant to eat and drink. He would then find a place to take a mandarin duck bath. After he was clean, he would go to the Simmons and have sex with her for three thousand rounds. These days, he was really bored. Other than a few dreams, he didn't have any chance to vent. It was simply not a man's life. It was really depressing.
Perhaps because she knew that Li Rui was going to return to the city, Lin Yali suddenly called him. First, she complained to him that Li Ming was basically not at home recently. Then, she asked him to help find out what happened to Li Ming. She wanted to know if he was being pestered by a woman or something else. Finally, she said that she would treat him to dinner.
Li Rui asked, "Dinner is good. Can my gan ge come?" Lin Yali said, "If you call him, he will definitely come. But I don't want to call him. It's just the two of us." Li Rui said, "Okay, you find a place with good taste. I think the Drunken Immortal restaurant will be good. Let's order a few more dishes. Okay, I've been in the corner of the mountain for almost a month. I'm so hungry that I've almost turned into a hungry wolf." Lin Yali laughed and said, "Then later, I want to see what a hungry wolf like you looks like."
Li Rui received a call from Song Chaoyang in the morning that he was allowed to return to the city. But by the time he finished packing his house and luggage, it was already noon. Therefore, he had to eat lunch before leaving. In addition, there was a delay when he said goodbye. By the time he rushed back to the city, it was almost time to get off work.
After returning to the Municipal Party Committee, Li Rui and Ling Shuyao parted ways downstairs. On the surface, the relationship between the two was still cold. It was no different from before they left.
Li Rui returned the car keys first, then went to his boss, Song Chaoyang's office to report on his work during this period.
He gave a concise report for more than half an hour and basically explained everything clearly. Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "This time's poverty alleviation pilot project did indeed discover many problems, but also solved many problems. We summed up a lot of experience and lessons learned. This will be a reference for our next poverty alleviation campaign. Xiao Rui, you did well. Hmm, you've lost a lot of weight. Life in the village must be very difficult, haha. "
The two chatted for a while. Song Chaoyang said, "Later, write a detailed poverty alleviation report. The content can be complicated and focus on the experience and lessons learned." Li Rui nodded and agreed. Song Chaoyang said, "You've been in the countryside for a while. It must have been very tiring for you. I'll give you two days off. Go back home and have a good rest." Li Rui shook his head and said, "I don't want a break. I don't want a break. Working in the village is actually not tiring. It's just that it's inconvenient. I can go back to work tomorrow. But tonight, I want to take a bath … the village doesn't even have a bath. Haha. "Song Chaoyang naturally agreed. He waved his hand and let Li Rui get off work early.
Li Rui came out of his office and returned to his desk. He saw that there wasn't a huge backlog of documents on his desk. He knew that someone must have taken over his secretary's work. He didn't know if it was his teacher, Yuan Xiaodi, or the Secretary-General. He thought for a while and walked towards Du Minsheng's office. Du Minsheng was not only his direct superior, but also his future wife's uncle. They hadn't seen each other for so long. Since he was back, it was reasonable to go and tell him. This was a good opportunity to show his respect.
When Li Rui pushed open the door to Du Minsheng's office, he saw him working at his desk. He walked over quietly and said, "Secretary-General, I'm back." Du Minsheng looked at him and said, "Are you used to living in the countryside?" Li Rui nodded and said, "I'm used to it. I can't help it even if I'm not used to it. I have to force myself to slowly get used to it. Look, I've only taken two baths in the three weeks I've been in the village. Now I'm covered in mud. " Du Minsheng heard this and laughed, "I guess Song Chaoji must have given you a break. Go home quickly, take a bath, and have a good rest for two days." Li Rui said, "Yes, I'm going back to take a bath. But I don't plan to rest. I'll be back to work tomorrow." Du Minsheng nodded and said, "That's good too."
After chatting for a while, Li Rui asked about his secretary's work. When he heard that there was nothing urgent, he said goodbye and left.
After leaving the Municipal Party Committee, he hesitated. He didn't know if he should go home to take a bath or find a bath. The advantage of taking a bath at home was that it would be faster and wouldn't affect his dinner date with Lin Yali. But the disadvantage was that he wouldn't be able to clean himself too well. If he found a bath and found a bath master, he would be able to clean himself up, but it would definitely affect their dinner date. What should he do?
While he was hesitating, Lin Yali called again.
