Originally, in the face of Boss Yao from the provincial capital, everyone was somewhat restrained. But with Li Qingyun gagging on the side, the villagers, including Zhang Tieshi, gradually dared to speak openly.

After walking through this muddy path and turning a corner, the road ahead suddenly opened up.

Li Qingyun pointed to the lush apple trees and introduced to Yao Dezhi: "Dezhi, although our Lotus Township is poor, the geographical conditions are still very good, and it is very suitable for planting cash crops. In particular, Zhangjiawa Village is a large planter in the township. ”

"It has a highland climate and plenty of sunlight all year round. Add to that the fertile land, and look at how pleasing these apple trees are. Li Qingyun picked a red apple and handed it to Yao Dezhi, "You taste it, it is definitely an original ecological product, without any pesticides or fertilizers." ”

When Li Qingyun introduced Yao Dezhi, Zhang Tieshi echoed on the side: "Yes, Boss Yao." There is no other one in our village, and this apple is definitely rich. Almost every household in the village has planted a few acres of land. The apples in our Zhangjiawa Village are big and sweet. If you want me to say, it's not bad at all than any 'red Fuji' in that island country. ”

Yao Dezhi took a bite of the apple, chewed it a few times and nodded repeatedly: "Well, don't say it, this apple is really sweet." ”

Li Qingyun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Dezhi, I didn't lie to you." Although the reputation of our apples in Lotus Township is not obvious, the quality is absolutely OK. If you are hard, you will be poor in the township, and you can't afford to build roads. Otherwise, it would have been your noble group's turn to discover it a long time ago. ”

Listening to Li Qingyun's recommendation for the township, Yao Dezhi was amused: "Okay, Qingyun." You know that you are clever and can walk the truth, and if the roads in this village were not so difficult, your apples should not be sold. ”

Li Qingyun nodded gloomily and said, "Who said it wasn't." The weather here is hot and humid, and you can't put down the apples as soon as you pick them. If you don't send it out in time, you can only stop in the field and feed the pigs. So for so many years, although the quality of our apples is very good, it has not been able to get out of this valley. For so many years, we have not been able to build the road for the villagers, and speaking of which, this is also a thorn in the heart of our township government. ”

Zhang Tieshi on the side listened to Li Qingyun's sigh, and he was also embarrassed. He is forty-four years old, and he has been the village chief for ten years. However, in the past ten years, the living conditions of the villagers in Zhangjiawa Village have not improved much. The villagers still live in dilapidated wooden houses and brick houses, eat brown rice and chaff, and travel by bicycle.

There are even a few poor households who often do not have enough to eat. These are the pains in Zhang Tieshi's heart, how he hopes that the township can allocate a little more poverty alleviation funds every year.

But there are difficulties in the township, and Zhang Tieshi also understands this. Hongliu Village and Xiaoyang Village are also poor villages in the township, and the township cannot favor one over the other.

Zhang Tieshi's only hope now is that the township can repair the road to the county. Because Li Qingyun had mentioned when chatting with him before that this road is the lifeline of several poor villages in the township, and it is related to the future of tens of thousands of people in the three villages.

There are not a lot of young clerks in the township, there are more than a dozen, and several of them have backgrounds that are not simple at all. But Zhang Tieshi does value Li Qingyun the most.

The reason is very simple, this young man is willing to endure hardships, can do things, does not have the arrogance of a college student, and can integrate with the villagers. The most important thing is that Li Qingyun's temperament of caring for the villagers and guiding the country is something that others do not have.

Yao Dezhi saw that Li Qingyun was emotional, so he gently pinched his shoulder and said, "Qingyun, I understand what you mean." After seeing the apples in your Zhangjiawa Village, I think there is still a lot of room for cooperation between our Guiren Group and your Lotus Township. When I go back, I will report truthfully to the board of directors and to my old man. As for the question of building roads, I can't do that. This kind of livelihood project has to be decided in your county or even in Shun'an City, right?"

Being able to get Yao Dezhi's reply, Li Qingyun was already quite satisfied. He nodded, turned around and said to Zhang Tieshi who was in a dream: "Village Chief Tieshi, you also heard it. Our boss Yao has spoken, and he is very satisfied with the apples in our Zhangjiawa Village, and he is very likely to cooperate with us!"

"This is really good, it's good that Boss Yao can see it! It's good to see it!" Zhang Tieshi on the side heard this, and the joy on his face could no longer be hidden.

……

After a walk around Zhangjiawa Village, it was close to noon. Zhang Tieshi's brain turned quickly, as early as when Li Qingyun and Yao Dezhi entered the village, he secretly ordered a few people in the village to go down, and at noon they should warmly entertain the rich businessmen from the province.

"Cadre Xiao Li, Boss Yao, you see that it's time for dinner, let's go eat first, and then continue the following activities, okay?" Zhang Tieshi looked at Li Qingyun with a smile.

Li Qingyun smiled at him and politely refused: "Tieshi Village Chief, there is no need to eat." Boss Yao just answered a phone call and is going back to the provincial capital today. Time is too tight, I'll take him to a few other villages in a while......"

"Ah, that's done. Zhang Tieshi was stunned, and immediately spoke: "Then I'll ask the stupid cows to prepare some dry food for you, and you can eat it on the road." ”

Li Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "That relationship is good, I won't be polite to you with Tieshi Village Chief." ”

Yao Dezhi on the side suddenly said: "Qingyun, where is the little girl who dropped out of school you said last time? ”

Before Li Qingyun could speak, Zhang Tieshi reacted: "Cadre Xiao Li is talking about Zhang Xiaohua, right? Her family lives in the west of the village, I'll take you there!"

Zhang Tieshi is so enthusiastic, he naturally has some different ideas. Zhang Xiaohua's family is a notoriously difficult household, and everything that can be helped in the village has been helped, but it can only barely keep this family from starving.

Although Zhang Tieshi sympathizes with the Zhang family, after all, his ability is limited, and he can't help many times.

Now this Boss Yao suddenly proposed to go to Zhang Xiaohua's house to have a look, which is naturally a good thing for this family. If she can get the funding of Boss Yao, it will definitely be no problem for Zhang Xiaohua to continue her studies.

It is also because of this kind of thinking that when Zhang Tieshi led the way, his steps became faster and faster.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, looking at the dilapidated house with four walls, Yao Dezhi was embarrassed. He followed Li Qingyun into the house to visit Wang Meixiang.

Because she took the medicine on time, Wang Meixiang's illness has improved greatly, and she is almost able to go to the ground.

Seeing the village chief and Li Qingyun come to visit her with a stranger, Wang Meixiang's eyes were full of tears.
