At noon, Tan Huizhen, as she said before, stayed Ding Xiang down and had lunch at home. However, Ding Xiang has no way to show his cooking skills, because the Guo family also hired a nanny.

To be precise, it is a part-time worker, Tan Huizhen invited from her hometown, an aunt who knows her roots, and she will come over every morning and noon. Of course, even if no one cooks, Tan Huizhen will not invite guests to eat at home, and let guests cook.

This meal, Ding Xiang ate tremblingly, because Guo Zhengyan also came back for lunch, and Mayor Guo also had a job on the weekend, but he was a little more leisurely than usual, on Sunday, he was busy with some official business in the morning, and if there was no emergency, he would arrange to rest for an afternoon and read a book or something.

Guo Zhengyan is much more majestic than Tan Huizhen, sitting opposite him, Ding Xiang feels like he is being stared at by a tiger, and he doesn't dare to gasp, let alone make too much movement.

However, Tan Huizhen saw that Ding Xiang only knew how to grill rice, and beckoned Ding Xiang to eat more vegetables: "Don't worry about losing weight! I know that you young people all want to lose weight and look good, but all of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, what do they look like? Eat more meat and more vegetables." ”

Guo Ziyan also took care of Ding Xiang, she saw Ding Xiang's nervousness, and helped her clip a few chopsticks and dishes, and said with a smile: "Sister Ding Xiang, look at my mother's remarks, now you understand why my brother and I have become fat, right?"

Guo Zhengyan also saw Ding Xiang's nervousness, he thought that his habitual stiff face scared the guests, so he picked up a tissue on the table, wiped his mouth, and talked to Ding Xiang: "Xiao Ding, are you from Xiangxi?

Ding Xiang hurriedly straightened up and replied, "Uncle Guo, I am from Yanye County, Maota City, Xiangxi. ”

"Maota City......" Guo Zhengyan thought about it carefully, nodded lightly, and said, "I have a little impression, almost ten years ago, something happened to you, the country's poverty alleviation funds were misappropriated, and the ministry sent a group of people to investigate. I didn't go, but I also heard that there was a lot of trouble, and some of your leaders in Xiangxi were taken down. ”

Ding Xiang opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, she didn't know how to pick up this topic.

More than ten years ago, she was still studying ignorantly in the mountains, not knowing that the world is so big and so exciting, where would she know about those officials and masters?

"Don't talk about work as soon as you go home!" Tan Huizhen said a fair word for Ding Xiang, "What you said, how can these children know?"

However, Guo Zhengyan did not agree with Tan Huizhen's statement, and said very seriously: "Young people, you can't always focus on the entertainment industry, but also learn more about family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs!"

"Uncle Guo is right, I really don't know much, and I will have to watch the news in the future. Ding Xiang did not defend himself and honestly admitted his mistakes.

In fact, the same is true, she usually follows Yang Huan and them and watches gossip news more......

"I heard Ziyi say, your hometown is still in the Miao village on the mountain?" Guo Zhengyan then asked, "Has the traffic problem in the mountains been solved?" No matter where you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, the first problem to be solved is transportation. ”

Ding Xiang can say something about this question, after all, it is something he has experienced, I saw Ding Xiang answer honestly: "Yes, it is because the road has not been repaired, in our village, everyone can't sell the mountain goods, everyone actually lives a little isolated, although now the phone has been called, but still has not solved the problem of economic resources." ”

"In recent years, the country has been engaged in rural road policies, and there are financial support ......" Guo Zhengyan just wanted to say that there was a solution, but soon, he also thought of some of the problems in the middle, and said with a soft sigh, "However, if there are more monks and less porridge, it may not be that your hometown can apply for this appropriation." ”

"Even if you get the application, you may not be able to implement it!" Speaking of this, Ding Xiang felt a little depressed in her heart, and accidentally vented some of it, but soon, she also realized that she couldn't show too much negative energy, and hurriedly braked the car.

But who is Guo Zhengyan? He had been doing discipline inspection work for so many years before, and he didn't grasp Ding Xiang's little emotions too accurately, and he was keenly aware that there was a problem in it, so he frowned and asked: "Xiao Ding, why do you say that?"

Ding Xiang stood up, a little unsure of how to speak. And she was a little worried, if the Guo family knew about those things in her hometown, would she have some bad views of her hometown because of this?

Guo Ziyan was eating next to her, while observing her words.

She is going to help Ding Xiang tide over the difficulties today, even if she doesn't have the opportunity to pit Guo Ziyi for something, Guo Ziyan is willing to help Ding Xiang, who makes her really have a good impression of Ding Xiang? What's more, the cake made by Ding Xiang is really delicious, which is a plus in Guo Ziyan's heart.

"That's it!" Guo Ziyan spoke, "Sister Ding Xiang's family, the former leader in the township was very bad, greedy for the substitute fees of rural teachers in many places, and did not send teachers to the children in the mountains. Sister Ding Xiang finally earned some money and sent it home, wanting them to hire a better teacher for the child, but they were also greedy!"

As soon as Guo Ziyan chattered on the phone, she told Ding Xiang about it, and Ding Xiang couldn't stop it.

"Xiao Ding's money is also greedy?" Tan Huizhen asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why did Xiao Ding send the money back?"

Ding Xiang was helpless, so she had to briefly talk about what happened, of course, she reduced her exploits in it, but focused on telling about the problems she and Yang Huan encountered, Yang Yi and Guo Ziyi went to Xiangxi to help them deal with it.

"Later, Brother Yang also invited people from the Hope Primary School Project to come over to help solve the problem of the younger siblings in the mountains having difficulty in going to school, and also invited some substitute teachers, and now the younger siblings' learning is no longer a problem!" Ding Xiang said.

But where is Guo Ziyan willing to just "give up", she hurriedly said: "But I still think that Sister Ding Xiang, you are very great, you don't earn much money, save trouble and frugality, and you want to send the money back to those younger brothers and sisters to study!"

"How can there be greatness?" Ding Xiang said embarrassedly, "I am just repaying the favor, in the past, the villagers helped my grandmother and took care of me to grow up, and when I grow up, I also have to do something to give back to them." ”

"No matter what, to be a man is to not forget your roots! Guo Zhengyan looked serious, raised his glass of water to Ding Xiang, and said, "It's also worth learning from me!"

Ding Xiang was stupid, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Uncle Guo, don't say that!"

Guo Zhengyan ignored Ding Xiang's embarrassment, turned his head and said to Tan Huizhen with some regret: "There are really not many children like Xiao Ding now, if she doesn't have a job now, I want her to take the civil service exam after graduation, just take the exam for our discipline inspection department, we just need such a talent, who is honest, sincere, and forgetful of profit!"

Tan Huizhen said angrily: "Other people's children have their own ideas, you don't want to pull them to your discipline inspection front when you see one, for so many years, how many people have you pitted, how many good children have plunged into your big pit, don't go home every day, pretend to be mysterious, don't you count in your heart? Besides, the discipline inspection department is not yours anymore, you are the mayor, you shouldn't be in charge, don't put too much thought, save others from saying that you have a long hand!"

Guo Zhengyan rarely showed a smile, he shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, I won't say it." ”

After chatting so much and their lunch was over, Ding Xiang saw everyone put down their chopsticks, subconsciously stood up, and helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Xiao Ding, you sit, how can you do these things?" Tan Huizhen hurriedly shouted.

"Auntie, I'm idle anyway, and I'll help you!"

……

On Yang Yi's side, Lan Xin finished eating the cake, her little belly was bulging, and she sat on the sofa with Xixi to watch TV (she watched Xixi's TV, she didn't need to pay gold coins), and watched it for a while, only to see Xixi's father holding a laptop and coming down from upstairs.

"Okay! the accompaniment is ready, let's learn to dance now!" Yang Yi greeted the two little girls with a smile.

"Okay!" Xixi was very interested, jumped off the sofa, and ran to her father to watch.

"But I haven't finished watching TV yet...... Lan Xin looked at Xixi, then at TV, muttered a few words, and finally slid off the sofa helplessly and moved slowly.
