Zhang Xinghai, as a native of Jiangkou, Zheng Yan can see the problem, how can he not see it, but he really has no ability to change.

"Zheng Yan, no matter what, thank you for coming to Jiangkou to invest. In the future, if you still have plans to invest, we still welcome it and will definitely give you the best policy support. ”

"We came over this time and brought you a gift, not a valuable, but a local specialty, I hope you can like it. ”

Originally, Zheng Yan thought that Zhang Xinghai sent him some wild mushrooms and other things, but it turned out to be not.

The entourage took out a stone carved inkstone and a dragon-shaped ornament, the whole is mainly purple, accompanied by green, milky white and other colors, the color is warm and moist, the texture is delicate, and it looks no different from jade.

According to Zhang Xinghai, both items are local specialties, but according to Zheng Yan's understanding, jade is not produced in Jiangkou.

Although Zheng Yan had doubts, he was afraid of being entangled by Zhang Xinghai again, so he didn't say it immediately. As for the value of the items, Zheng Yan didn't think too much about it, presumably with the economic situation of Jiangkou, the other party couldn't afford to send too valuable things.

It wasn't until Zhang Xinghai and his party left that Zheng Yan called Zheng Rong over.

"Zheng Rong, take a look at what kind of material this is. It was given to me by the magistrate of Jiangkou Prefecture, Zhang, and said that it was a local specialty. I think it's not much worse than jade, you see if there's any investment value. ”

"I thought it was a good thing, this is called purple robe jade, which is a local specialty of Jiangkou. Although it looks similar to jade, and there is a jade in the name, it has little investment value. ”

The Zheng family is mainly engaged in the jewelry industry, and Zheng Rong is also more concerned about this aspect. When I first arrived at Jiangkou, I thought it was jade, and I specifically asked someone to understand it, but later found that it was just an empty joy.

"It's not that this thing has no investment value at all, it's just that even the finest purple robe jade is always inferior in texture compared to jade. The locals are made into stationery, tea trays or such ornaments, and the value is not very high. ”

Zheng Yan didn't want to find any business opportunities, and at this time, he completely lost interest in the purple robe jade.

"Zheng Yan, let's go, go out for a walk. It just so happened that the nearby school was almost built, and the Hope Project brought a reporter from the newspaper to do an interview, so let's go and have a look. ”

Zheng Yan happened to have nothing to do, and after hearing Zhao Weimin's words, they walked towards the school together.

A group of people walked on the mountain path, flowers were everywhere, green trees were shady, and the sun was shining on the earth through the leaves, a scene of fairyland on earth.

But when a few people walked to the village, the muddy roads, dilapidated houses, and ragged pedestrians were in stark contrast to the natural scene just now.

"Zheng Yan, what do you want?"

Zhao Weimin has seen countless similar scenes, and after being touched by his heart again and again, he has slowly become accustomed to it. Seeing Zheng Yan standing stunned at this moment, he couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, that's the little girl I saw this morning. ”

Zheng Yan himself didn't expect that the little girl he met by chance in the morning would meet here again.

The little girl was still dressed in her morning clothes, squatting in front of the house, holding a branch in her hand, and constantly writing and drawing on the ground.

There is also a two- or three-year-old child next to the little girl, who should be the younger brother in the little girl's mouth, and every time the little girl writes, she will stop to look at her younger brother, as if she is afraid that her brother will be lost.

"Kid, what are you doing?"

The little girl heard someone talking to her and looked up.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Perhaps because she had already seen her in the morning, the little girl was obviously not as prepared and reserved as she had met in the morning.

"By the way, you haven't told my brother what your name is. ”

"My name is Yanyan. ”

"Then Yanyan, can you tell my brother what you were doing just now?"

"I... I'm practicing writing. ”

When Yanyan talked about writing, her face was a little embarrassed, and she also had a little inferiority.

According to Yanyan, she didn't go to school, but she could write, and Zheng Yan couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Yanyan, didn't you say that you didn't go to school, so who taught you to write?"

"I... I went to school, but I only went to school for two years, and then I stopped going to school, but my dad would teach me how to write at home. ”

Originally, Zheng Yan thought that Yanyan's family conditions were difficult, and her parents were also patriarchal, so she left the opportunity to go to school to her younger brother. Yanyan's statement that as long as her father made money in the factory, she would let her go to school was just perfunctory.

But now, it seems that there is still a hidden secret, since she was once allowed to go to school, and her father usually took the initiative to teach her to read, at least her father supported her to go to school.

Just when Zheng Yan wanted to explore further, Village Chief Xu walked over.

"Manager Zheng, why are you here?"

In normal times, Zheng Yan would definitely correct the other party's title, but at this moment, Zheng Yan only wanted to know about Yanyan's family situation, so he didn't care so much.

"Village Chief Xu, let's just come out and walk around. By the way, this little girl named Yanyan, do you know her family situation?"

"You said that she is from the same village, how can she not understand. ”

After listening to the village chief's story, Zheng Yan understood what was going on.

Most of the people in the village are surnamed Xu, Yanyan's full name is Li Yan, and his father is an educated youth who once went to the mountains and went to the countryside, named Li Jiandong. It's just that because of marriage and childbirth, I lost the opportunity to return to the city and return to my hometown.

Although Li Jiandong did not have the opportunity to return to the city, he did not complain too much, he was very good to Li Yan's mother, and he was also very filial to Li Yan's grandparents. He is also very diligent, and he can be described as hardworking.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes, Li Yan's mother accidentally broke her leg because of the rain when she went up to work in the mountains, not to mention the loss of her ability to work, and used up the family's savings.

The burden of family life suddenly fell on Li Jiandong alone. And the two old men in the family are gone, and the son is still young, so there is really no way, so he has to let Li Yan drop out of school.

"Manager Zheng, Yanyan's family is really not easy, although the people in the village also want to help, but each family has its own difficulties, and it can't help much. ”

"Fortunately, you are here, Jiandong can also go to work in the factory in the future, he is already educated, and I believe that the future should be better. ”

Zheng Yan looked down at Yanyan on the side, and continued to write there. It seems that her life, in addition to working and taking care of her younger brother, is self-taught.

"Manager Zheng, look, that's Li Jiandong. Village Chief Xu pointed to a person and said.
