After Xiao Dawei finished speaking, Du Minsheng, a member of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, pointed out that Shuanghe County should have a long-term vision in the poverty alleviation work. According to the requirements of the new urbanization, the development plan at the village level should be done well, and the functional layout and spatial layout should be harmonious and unified. The three-year poverty alleviation and development plan should be done well. It should be concrete, specific, and programmatic, with a timetable, roadmap, and responsible subjects. It should be implemented in a distributed manner so that the people could benefit from it.
Deputy Mayor Luo Bin, who was in charge of poverty alleviation, also gave a speech. He pointed out that Shuanghe County should take advantage of this great opportunity of being designated as a poverty alleviation trial county by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. They should absorb resources from all walks of life, unite all walks of life, and push the poverty alleviation work to a new level. They should strive to become a poverty alleviation county in the city.
After the meeting, under the leadership of Fang Qingyun and the other county leaders, Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders went to Dalu Village, one of the poor villages, to inspect the poverty alleviation and development work. They visited the first group of villagers, Wang Tongguo's pig farm, the second group of villagers, Li Fusheng's persimmon plucker farm, and Zhao Xiaoming's wood-ear greenhouse. They climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and walked for about five miles. By the time the inspection was over, it was already dark.
Naturally, they couldn't work when it was dark, and the inspection work for the day was basically over.
The city and county leaders returned to the town and prepared to enjoy dinner.
After the day, Song Chaoyang, Xiao Dawei, and the others were exhausted. Their backs hurt from sitting in the car, their feet hurt from walking, their butts hurt from holding meetings, and their heads hurt from listening to reports. They couldn't take it anymore.
Song Chaoyang specifically told Fang Qingyun that the dinner didn't need to be too extravagant. It was fine as long as they could fill their stomachs, and they could rest early after eating.
Even though he deliberately made this request, when the dinner started, the table was full. There were more than ten large plates of meat, vegetables, and cold dishes. They looked, smelled, and looked delicious. At first glance, it was obvious that they were cooked by a famous chef. How could the chefs in town make such dishes? Fortunately, there weren't any delicacies. They were all dishes that ordinary people could afford. The most expensive dish on the table was just a braised rabbit. It could be said that the food was sumptuous, but not extravagant.
Song Chaoyang saw that it was not too much, so he did not say anything. He told everyone to eat and drink.
During the meal, Li Rui unexpectedly received a call from Ding Yijing.
Ding Yijing's call was very strange. She didn't say anything when the call got through. Li Rui, on the other hand, was very happy. Since she took the initiative to call him when they were having a conflict, it meant that she was willing to reconcile with him. Of course, he had to seize this good opportunity. He quickly walked out of the restaurant and found a secluded corner. He said softly, "You are still the same as when we were young. Every time we quarreled, you would take the initiative to reconcile with me." Ding Yijing still did not speak. Li Rui thought for a while and said, "I was also in the wrong that night. I apologize to you. Please don't be angry, okay?" It would have been better if he hadn't said that. As soon as he said that, the call was immediately cut off.
Li Rui was confused and didn't know what Ding Yijing meant. He thought for a while but still couldn't figure it out, so he called back.
The call was quickly rejected.
Li Rui was even more puzzled. Could it be that something big had happened on Ding Yijing's side? Otherwise, why would it be like this? She didn't say anything and only made half the call. If he called again, she would refuse to pick up. This was obviously impossible under normal circumstances. He frowned and called again, swearing to find out what had happened.
The call was rejected three times in a row. On the fourth call, Ding Yijing finally picked up and said coldly, "Don't flatter yourself. I didn't make the call. My niece randomly dialed it when she was playing with my phone." Li Rui suddenly realized that she was not the one who had taken the initiative to reconcile with him. He felt sour in his heart and asked casually, "Where did your niece come from?" Ding Yijing said coldly, "It's none of your business." Then she hung up. Li Rui snorted and called again, thinking that he would annoy her to death today. Ding Yijing was startled and said, "What do you mean by 'what do you mean'?" Li Rui said, "You and me." Ding Yijing sneered and said, "Me? Me?" Ding Yijing sneered and said, "Me? I'm not good enough for you. Don't you have the beautiful host of the city's television station? Would you still like me? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "You should know why I called her over. It's to let you have a taste of what you let me have. In fact, we are only siblings. She's my godbrother's sister. "Ding Yijing said coldly," Siblings? If you're siblings, would you send her home? "Li Rui was shocked. How did she know that he was the one who sent Lin Yafei home? His mind flashed and he suddenly understood. That night, only Li Zhichao, Yu Zhen and Zhang Bing knew that he was the one who sent Lin Yafei home. Among the three of them, Li Zhichao was the most likely to tell Ding Yijing about this. Could it be that he silently tricked him again? He pretended to be calm and said, "It's not a big deal that I sent her home. I picked her up so of course I'll send her home. I want to ask you, how did you know that I was sending her home? Was it the old class monitor's mouth? "
Ding Yijing said, "Li Rui, let me tell you. Maybe Li Zhichao is not as good as you, but he is better than you in one thing. He is only good to me." When Li Rui heard that she compared him to Li Zhichao again, he immediately exploded with anger. What was more infuriating was that she actually said good things about Li Zhichao. He was so angry that he said angrily, "Okay, okay, then you can go find Li Zhichao …" Ding Yijing interrupted, "I can find whoever I want. It's none of your business." Li Rui suppressed the anger in his chest and said deeply, "Well, it's none of my business. I don't care, and I can't do anything about it. Ding Yijing, it turns out that you've always thought this way. It turns out that in your heart, Li Zhichao is better than me … Okay, I won't say anything. I admit it! "He said and hung up the phone.
After the phone call, Li Rui was full of anger. He didn't want to go back to eat. He stood there angrily and only felt that his mood was worse than ever.
Suddenly, a familiar woman's voice came from behind him. "This is … the Ding Yijing you mentioned before?" Li Rui looked back and saw that his precious baby, Yao Xuefei, was standing not far behind him. When he saw the concerned expression on her face, his heart warmed. He nodded and said, "Why don't you go eat?" Yao Xuefei said, "I saw that you came out, so I came out to take a look." Li Rui sighed and said, "You go eat first. You're exhausted today. You should rest early after eating." Yao Xuefei said angrily, "That's right. I'm so tired today. Even my heels are scratched from walking." Li Rui looked at the high-heeled shoes on her feet and sighed with a bitter smile. "You've worked hard … What if you're worn out? Oh right, I have a band-aid here. You can put it on the wound first. "
Yao Xuefei said, "I have one with me. I've already put it on." Li Rui said, "Next time you go to the countryside with Song Shuji, remember to wear sneakers." Yao Xuefei nodded and looked back to see that no one was coming. She asked in a low voice, "Did you quarrel with Ding Yijing?" Li Rui couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's better not to talk about it. It's annoying to talk about it." Yao Xuefei frowned and said, "What happened? She … she fell in love with someone else? " Li Rui now understood that Ding Yijing didn't really like Li Zhichao. She just said that to annoy him. He shook his head and said, "No, we just quarreled. Then the conflict became bigger and bigger." Yao Xuefei said with a sad face, "Women are emotional creatures. They need to be coaxed. You should apologize to her and coax her. Then everything will be fine."
Li Rui sneered and said, "She was the one who started this. Do I need to coax her? Wouldn't that make her even more arrogant? If it were you, I would definitely coax you. But for her, hmph, she should just stay where she is. " Yao Xuefei smiled and said, "Don't be angry. You can't stay outside forever. Let's go back to the banquet. I'm going back too."
Li Rui sighed. If Ding Yijing was even one-tenth as obedient as this big darling in front of him, he wouldn't be so angry. But then again, if she was like Yao Xuefei, how could she be Ding Yijing? Didn't he also admire her unruly character? Sigh, he thought that he wouldn't need to tame her for long. Now that such a big conflict had happened, it would drag on indefinitely. How annoying.
The two returned to the dining table and continued to eat and drink.
After the meal, the county didn't arrange any other activities. Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders returned to their rooms and prepared to rest.
This was a typical farmhouse hotel. The service facilities were quite simple. There was only the guest room itself. There was no washroom, let alone a bath. If they wanted to use the washroom, they could only go to the only public washroom in the backyard. If they wanted to take a bath, they could forget about it unless they went to the bathtub in town. It was barely possible to wash their feet, but they had to find their own basin, hot water, and towels. It was almost like a self-service service.
Fortunately, the county staff had already considered the possible needs of the city leaders to soak their feet. They arranged the facilities in advance and ordered the hotel to prepare a large amount of hot water. If any city leader wanted to wash their feet, their secretary only needed to inform the county staff on duty, and someone would bring a basin of hot water to their room. The city leaders only needed to take off their shoes and socks and wait for their feet to dip into the basin.
Li Rui watched as Song Chaoyang finished washing his feet. Just as he was about to help him wash his socks, he was snatched away.
