Shi'ao Village under the cover of night is extraordinarily peaceful, with wisps of fluttering smoke and sporadic dog barking, like a paradise, without quarrel with the world.

There are people at the entrance of the village who have been waiting eagerly, and after seeing the sound and shadow of their group of four, they immediately greeted them, led by a middle-aged man, whose face was weathered and engraved with deep wrinkles, but his eyes were quite resolute, and he did not seem to be knocked down by the closed and difficult life, but had the strength to not admit defeat.

"Are you from the city council member Zhou?" the middle-aged man asked tentatively, although they are very closed here, but with the development of society, there are often adventure-loving travelers who find this place by mistake, and the enthusiastic villagers will always try their best to entertain them, and then escort them out of the mountains.

"Yes, I'm Zhou Miaoling, you should be Village Chief Zhao, right?" Zhou Miaoling had already contacted the village and made an appointment with the village chief to wait for her here.

Village Chief Zhao Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Welcome...... Welcome...... You have finally arrived, I am thinking that if I don't arrive again, I will take someone into the mountains to find it, please come here, Teacher Gongsun is going to show his skills, and he has been busy working in the village committee for a day. ”

The original team of four people expanded to more than ten people at once, and walked towards the village committee, and from time to time there were children peeking through the cracks in the door from time to time, and after getting the tacit approval of the parents, they also joined the team, chattering, asking this and that, and the peaceful village suddenly became a little more noisy and angry because of the arrival of these four strangers.

The road in the village is naturally no street lights, fortunately the distance is not far, and soon I saw a flagpole erected in the middle of a courtyard dam not far away, and a light bulb with a high wattage was connected to it, which illuminated the whole yard as bright as day, and there was a big pot in the middle of the yard, which was steaming, and there were many people who were busy there, and they could smell the fragrance of the food from afar.

"Sister Miaoling, you have a really big face, it is estimated that the whole village has come to receive us, this is too heavy!" Lin Weiying has lived in a big city since she was a child, she has never seen this kind of formation, she is very excited, and the hard work of the road has long been forgotten.

"What's stewed in this cauldron?, why does it smell so good!" Ge Xiao snorted vigorously, tossing all day, he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, he walked like flying, walking at the front of the team, and a few big bags on his shoulders had been shared by everyone, so he was naturally as light as a swallow.

Village Chief Zhao enthusiastically introduced: "Today we deliberately killed a pig, in order to entertain a few VIPs, it was regarded as the New Year in advance, the countryside is rough, and it is common to wait until the New Year to eat fresh pig R, so this group of dolls have come over to make you laugh." ”

"Village Chief Zhao is too polite, why make it so grand? We just came to see the children, and we will go back the day after tomorrow, where can we be considered VIPs!" Zhou Miaoling didn't expect Shiao Village to attach so much importance to their arrival, and was a little embarrassed.

Although Wu Yi didn't say a word, he was secretly confessing in his heart, this village chief Zhao talked extraordinarily, reasoned and well-founded, and seemed to be a knowledgeable person, and it was a bit condescending to be the head of this village.

The village committee and the school in Shi'ao Village are built together, all of which are made of local materials, laid the foundation with huge stones, and then built with logs, the wood is dark black, and it looks a little old after the baptism of the years.

"Teacher Gongsun, the distinguished guest you invited for us has arrived, why don't you come and say hello!" Village Chief Zhao shouted loudly, and soon walked out of the rising fog A man with glasses, because the temperature changed suddenly, as soon as he came out, the lenses were not full of white mist, his vision was blocked, and he stumbled over, tied a flower cloth apron around his waist, although it was already night, he was full of sweat.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Miaoling, it's a pleasure to meet you. Zhou Miaoling took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said with a smile.

"Gongsun Zhe, fortunately, my hands are full of oil, just shake hands and be free!" Gongsun Zhe nodded, and it wasn't until he got closer that he realized that he was actually not very old, and his appearance was also very gentle, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very generous.

Zhou Miaoling took out wet wipes from her bag and asked Gongsun Zhe to wipe his hands, but this guy rubbed a few times on the apron, wiped his glasses clean with wet wipes, and put them back on.

"Come, come, come...... Sit here, and we'll be seated right away. Village Chief Zhao shouted, breaking this little embarrassment, lined up more than a dozen tables, and more than half of the people in the village were probably here, everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Wu Yi put the table at the front, and deliberately entered the village to be accompanied by the respected old birthday star, plus the village chief Zhao Wuliang, the only village teacher Gongsun Zhe, is already the highest level of reception lineup in Shiao Village, which also shows that they attach importance to this investigation.

The dishes are not very rich, with a large pot of stewed pig R as the main dish, which adds shiitake mushrooms and potatoes, although the quality is not good, but it tastes very delicious, plus a few stacks of seasonal vegetables, all of which are pollution-free ingredients cultivated in the deep mountains, very fresh.

There is also a large pot of liquor on the table, sorghum wine made from mountain springs, clear and pure, full of aroma, but this degree is quite high, Lin Weiying just tasted a small sip, and her little face was already red, like a ripe apple, which looked particularly attractive.

Because there are not so many politeness in the village, after the village chief Zhao symbolically said a few words, he officially opened the banquet, because Wu Yi is just the boss behind him, and the main work is still taken care of by Zhou Miaoling, so he has already emphasized that this time he is a small follower, and all things are handed over to Zhou Miaoling to deal with.

"Director Zhou, thank you for coming, I really didn't expect that just an email would bring hope to the children. I toast you. Gongsun Zhe picked up a glass of liquor, stood up and said sincerely.

Zhou Miaoling first got the information of Shiao Village, which was sent to her by Gongsun Yu, the two have communicated on the phone many times, and they have a certain understanding of each other, and they have been friends for a long time, but when they met for the first time today, he was also amazed, this director is not only very enthusiastic about charity, but also looks so beautiful, far beyond his imagination.

"The original intention of our ruling on the establishment of the charity fund is to help people who really need help, and within the scope of Huaxia, anyone in need can apply to us, this is a matter of duty, and Mr. Gongsun is too polite. Zhou Miaoling also got up, and after gently clinking glasses with him, he drank all the liquor in the cup.

Gongsun Zhe was a little stunned, this is a fifty-three degree liquor, how can this director be the same as drinking cold boiled water, just now they each toasted a glass, Zhou Miaoling did not refuse to come, and there was no reaction at all, but there was a little more red halo on his fair face, like a blooming peony, which was extremely beautiful.

Director Zhou can work tirelessly to this isolated Shiao Village, which is admirable, urban white-collar workers like you are sitting in the office reading documents, and you are trekking through mountains and rivers to the first scene in person, I am afraid I can't find a few. Gongsun Zhe also tilted his neck, drank the whole cup, and suddenly even the root of his neck was red.

If he knew that Zhou Miaoling was originally the sales manager of Tianhong Group, he would not be stupid to fight with her, this cup had just been drunk, and Zhou Miaoling filled it for him again.

"Teacher Gongsun can go to this deep mountain alone to teach, the conditions are so difficult, but he never thought of giving up, but tried every means to improve the teaching conditions for the children, such a character, is admirable, this cup I respect you, do it first, you are free to do it. After Zhou Miaoling finished speaking, a glass of liquor trickled down again.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Village Chief Zhao took the initiative to come over and relieve the siege and said, "Teacher Gongsun, you don't know how to drink, I'll drink this cup for you!"

There is such a baby bump in the village, if he falls, more than 30 children in the village will have to go to herd sheep again, that is not good, as the head of a village, naturally he can't let this kind of thing happen.

"No...... No...... This is Director Zhou's toast to me, it is my great honor, how can I let my eldest brother do it for me?

Everyone was in a hurry, sending Gongsun Zhe, who was already paralyzed, to the house to rest, Zhou Miaoling was a little embarrassed, and pulled Lin Weiying in to take care of him, and Ge Xiaotian, who had a bold temperament, had already been pulled over by a group of strong men to fight wine, this guy was the most unprovoked, and in a few words, he served a big bowl, and at this moment the fierce battle was in full swing, and it was no longer Wu Yi's table.

At this time, on the table, there was only Wu Yi who was busy and the respected old man Hu, one old and one young drinking sorghum wine, pulling homely cooking, but he didn't feel lonely, the old man was ninety and two this year, it was simply a living dictionary in the village, and he was very interested tonight, and he kept talking about the past in the village.

"Old man, you are well-informed, have you ever seen this poisonous snake?" Wu Yi saw that no one noticed him, and took out the black snake that was caught on the road.

As soon as he saw the triangular head and colorful patterns, the old man Hu who was talking about Xing was stunned for a moment, like a rabbit, and bounced out in an instant, this speed can live for at least another ten years, and in the blink of an eye, he is already more than a meter away from Wu Yi.

"Where did you get this stone col soldering iron? Kill it, it's a deadly thing. Old Man Hu looked at the brown snake with palpitations, and said with a solemn expression, the little wine just now had long been scared away.

"Shi Ao soldering iron head, this name sounds very fresh, is it very toxic?" Wu Yi looked closer, and asked with some surprise.
