Xia Bingqing sat in the back seat, changing his previous attitude along the way, he was very enthusiastic about Li Qingyun, and even a little too enthusiastic, which made Boss Xia a little surprised, his daughter He knew that even those noble children in the capital didn't like to take care of him, how could he just look at this young man who was not good-looking.

Xia Bingqing seemed to be very curious about Li Qingyun, and asked questions about Li Qingyun, which was very unnatural.

"Li Qingyun, why do you want to be a civil servant, since you are studying economics, why don't you go into business?" Xia Bingqing asked with a smile staring at Li Qingyun. "Qinxi University is one of the top universities in China, especially the economics major is ranked among the top five in China, in addition to many famous economists, there are many successful businessmen are also from this school, if you do business or find a multinational company to work, how is it better than staying in this poor and remote place." ”

Li Qingyun smiled, Xia Bingqing was right, with his own ability, it is not difficult to find a stable and well-paid job, someone once said this to himself, but this is not the life he wants.

Regarding this question, Li Qingyun simply said: "Everyone has their own ambitions." ”

"You just want to be an official like that?" Xia Bingqing suddenly asked meaningfully.

Suddenly hearing this, Li Qingyun was in a trance, because someone had asked him this sentence before, it was a person he didn't want to think about anymore, every time he thought of her, his heart felt a little guilty and tingling.

Xia Bingqing looked at Li Qingyun quietly, waiting for his answer.

"Miss Xia, I think you have seen all the way, the people in Yuanbei County are very poor, the people are very bitter, I grew up and saw a lot of things, many people have to bow to life because they are poor, because they have no money, I choose to study economics in the hope of finding a way to get rich, and being an official is a dream all along, I want to lead the people to get rich and get rid of poverty. ”

Li Qingyun is telling the truth, but there is another reason, Li Qingyun didn't say it, there was a girl in college who had a very good family background, it is said that the family has produced many high-ranking officials, she is the president of the student union, she is the vice president, the relationship between the two is very good, they love each other, and they almost became boyfriend and girlfriend, but on the day of graduation, a person who claimed to be the girl's aunt found him and asked him to leave her, saying that it was impossible between them at all, one was the proud son of heaven, the other was an ordinary person, the gap was too big, and promised that as long as Li Qingyun left the girl, he would give one million。

Li Qingyun refused, which was an insult to him, and he wanted to prove himself, to prove that he had the ability to change his own destiny and the fate of others.

Since then, Li Qingyun has not told the girl that he returned to his hometown after graduation and was admitted to the civil service.

"Xiao Li is good, there are not many officials who are dedicated to the people now, you have to work hard, I believe your dream will come true." ”

Li Qingyun's words attracted Boss Xia's appreciation.

"Hehe, thank you for your good words, I believe that where there is a will, there is a way, and the hard work pays off. ”

Xia Bingqing scoffed at Li Qingyun's words: "Cut, as the saying goes, if you marry a wealthy lady and work hard for ten years, you are stupid, you originally had such an opportunity, but you gave up." ”

Li Qingyun was stunned, he always felt that Xia Bingqing had something to say, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and Li Qingyun just quipped: "Hehe, our men in the northwest never eat soft rice." ”

Everyone talked and laughed, and the car drove for an hour to reach Xingzhuang Village, where Phoenix Mountain is located, and then everyone abandoned the car, climbed up the mountain along a path, and walked for another hour to reach Phoenix Mountain.

Looking at the weeds all over the mountain, Boss Xia frowned: "Xiao Li, do you know that there is a tomb in this Phoenix Mountain, it is relatively old, about forty or fifty years old." ”

This stumped Li Qingyun, although he was more familiar with Lotus Township, but how could he know what happened decades ago.

At this time, an old man of about sixty or seventy years old was carrying a hoe down the mountain.

"Uncle Hou, are you going home for dinner after hoeing?" Li Qingyun said loudly at the old man.

The old man also recognized Li Qingyun, and responded with a smile: "It turned out to be a cadre of Xiao Li from the township government, and he came to our village to inspect again, let's go, go back to eat with me, your old aunt made noodles, your favorite food." ”

Although Li Qingyun has been working for a short time, he is very familiar with most of the people here, including Uncle Hou, Uncle Hou's two sons, one is a worker in the coal mine, and the other goes out to do odd jobs, and he is not at home all the year round, and the old couple in the family are not rich, so Li Qingyun bought them rice and noodles out of his own pocket to send condolences, and the old couple is also very good to Li Qingyun.

"Hehe, I still have something to do today, I will definitely go another day, by the way, Uncle Hou, do you know that there is a tomb in Phoenix Mountain, it has been about forty or fifty years. ”

"Oh, you really asked the right person, few people in the whole village know that this Phoenix Mountain does have an old grave, just in that willow forest, all these years of wind and rain, the grave is estimated to be difficult to find. Uncle Hou thought for a while, pointed to a sparse willow forest in the distance and said.

Hearing this, Boss Xia's expression was excited.

Li Qingyun was very surprised, this Boss Xia is thousands of miles away, and he came to the northwest from the capital to find a tomb, it seems that this tomb has a relationship with him, and it is likely to be Boss Xia's relatives, so Boss Xia is also from Xingzhuang Village.

"Uncle Hou, can I ask you a favor and go with me to confirm the location, I won't tell you, these people are from the capital, and this tomb is ......" Speaking of this, Li Qingyun looked at Boss Xia.

Boss Xia understood, and then said: "This grave is my grandmother's grave, speaking of which, my ancestral hometown is also Smashing Gate Xingzhuang Village, and we are also fellow villagers." ”

"Hehe, that's fine. ”

Uncle Hou was very enthusiastic and waited for Li Qingyun and the others to come to the willow forest.

The willow forest was overgrown with weeds, but Uncle Hou finally found the exact location of the tomb according to his memory, and the slightly raised mountain bag and some weathered stones scattered around it indicated that there was indeed a forgotten grave here.

"That's right, it should be here, thank you, Xiao Li, you are a good comrade. Boss Xia's excited eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly praised Li Qingyun inexplicably.

Li Qingyun didn't think much about it, and helped Boss Xia pile the scattered stones together.

"Bingqing, come here, kowtow to your grandmother, your grandfather's greatest wish is to be able to return to Wutong Mountain one day to sweep your grandmother's grave, but due to work and physical reasons, it has not been realized, and now we have fulfilled this wish for your grandfather. Boss Xia's voice was a little choked, and it could be seen that he was holding back tears.

Li Qingyun stood aside, and when he heard Boss Xia's words, he understood that the people in this were really related to Boss Xia.

Boss Xia and Xia Bingqing stood up after kowtowing, Boss Xia held Li Qingyun's hand and said, "Xiao Li, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the hurry, you say?" asked Li Qingyun.

"I'm in a hurry this time, I'm going back soon, and I'd like to ask you to find someone to help me fix my grave. ”

It stands to reason that he is a public official, and there should be no feudal superstition, but repairing a grave is not superstition, this is a kind of respect for the dead, not to mention that this is not a big deal, thinking of this, Li Qingyun agreed.

When I went down the mountain and returned to the township government, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, before getting off the Mercedes-Benz, Boss Xia asked Liu Zhi to leave 20,000 yuan for Li Qingyun as the cost of repairing the grave, and also left Liu Zhi's phone number for easy contact.

"Li Qingyun, right, there is a saying that you can't hide from the first day of junior high but can't hide from fifteen, and your evasion can only mean that you are a coward. ”

After Li Qingyun got out of the car, Xia Bingqing suddenly said such a sentence inexplicably, and Li Qingyun was confused.

At the same time, what Li Qingyun didn't notice was that in an office of the township government, Niu Changsheng, chairman of the people's congress, had just returned from the county seat, and was looking out of the window at this time, and happened to see Li Qingyun walking out of the Mercedes-Benz.

I don't know if I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it, and the string of license plate numbers of the Mercedes-Benz car shocked Niu Changsheng.
