At noon, it was lunch at Chu Tianqi's house, the main food was white flour dumplings and rice, and the dishes included fried daylily with meat, stir-fried dried celery, roasted fungus with garlic, fried shredded potatoes with vegetarian vegetables, and some canned meat. Chu Lijuan's craftsmanship is very good, and the food is very fragrant, which is much better than the government canteen.

Ning Junqi ate more than a bowl of dumplings and half a bowl of rice, and she also ate a lot of dishes, and she felt that her stomach was very supportive. The only thing to blame is that the food is too fragrant and the host is too welcoming. You Chunmei was only afraid that Ning Junqi would not be able to eat enough, so she vigorously sandwiched dumplings and vegetables for Ning Junqi, if it weren't for Chu Tianqi's help, Ning Junqi wouldn't have been able to finish eating.

At noon, I sat at two tables in the east room, one on the kang and the next on the kang. Liu Danian and Liu Wenli also participated, and Liu Wenli was invited by Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi. Liu Danian went to invite the township chief to his house for dinner, but the township chief stayed at Chu Tianqi's house, so he stayed to eat with the township chief, and brought a lot of sausages and canned meat prepared at home.

After lunch, before leaving, Ning Junqi went to the Westinghouse again. When Chu Yuliang saw her again, he still said those three words, "Your surname is Li". The Chu family felt very embarrassed about Chu Yuliang's nonsense, and You Chunmei even said to Ning Junqi from time to time, "Miss Ning is smiling."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi took the 212 car and returned to the Qingniuyu Township Government.

……

As soon as Chu Tianqi entered his office and sat down, Yang Daqing came over.

"Township Chief Chu, there are a few things to report to you. Yang Daqing sat down and said.

Chu Tianqi nodded to Yang Daqing: "Say it." ”

Yang Daqing began to report: "Before the Spring Festival, I told the village directors about the establishment of rural economic cooperatives, and asked them to publicize and mobilize the villagers. First of all, many village leaders are not enthusiastic about this matter, although they have many reasons, but I feel that they are mainly worried that the cooperative's implementation of the people's * management method of equal members will have an impact on their existing rights and authority. Secondly, many villagers equate this cooperative with the people's commune of a few decades ago, and some people even say that it is a 'big pot of rice' and a 'big canteen', saying that this is a step backwards and is not optimistic about this new thing. Third, many villagers, including some village cadres, think that some things should be done by the government for them, and they just wait for them to be ready-made. ”

"It's not surprising, and it's no wonder they have such an idea, mainly because they don't see the huge benefits of setting up this organization. Take the seven vegetable villages as an example, they did what the township asked them to do last year, which not only saved trouble and worry, but also made a lot of money. Therefore, they are accustomed to waiting for such a 'good thing', but they are not aware of the many drawbacks of this method. Chu Tianqi said calmly, "No matter how anxious we are, we can't be in a hurry, after all, this requires them to be voluntary." In this way, you should first choose the villages with a positive attitude from these villages, and encourage them to set up first, and once someone takes the lead, it will be easy to do. ”

Yang Daqing nodded and said, "Okay." Then he continued: "I have also done some work on the sale of medicinal materials. I have some information through my classmates and friends, but if I want to find the consignee, I still need to go out and look for it and go to the relevant companies to have a look. ”

Chu Tianqi took over and said, "I also have this idea, and I have also asked someone to do some research in the past few days. I'm going to go to Pizhou, the 'Northern Medicine Capital', in the next few days, and I originally planned to go with the two of us, but now that the matter is urgent, I'll go by myself first. You have other tasks, you have to go to the province with Mayor Ning to follow up on the certification of organic vegetables. ”

"Oh, that's right. Good. Yang Daqing said in a frustrated tone: "Originally, I wanted to go on a business trip with Township Chief Chu, but it seems that I can only go later." When am I going to the province?"

Chu Tianqi laughed: "Wouldn't it be better to go to the province with the township chief? I'm just going to a small place." When the township chief goes to the county to hold the people's congress, you will set off, and I will set off. ”

"Okay, Township Chief Chu, I've finished my report, do you have anything else?" asked Yang Daqing politely.

Chu Tianqi waved his hand and said, "It's gone, you go and get busy." ”

"Okay. Yang Daqing agreed and walked out.

……

After Ning Junqi returned to the office, he has not been idle. First, Hao Xiaoyan came to report on the work, then answered a few phone calls, and finally prepared documents for the county government. It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that I finished the work at hand.

She leaned back in her chair and stretched* a few times. Thinking about what happened today, especially what happened in the Chu Tianqi family.

The basic situation of Chu Tianqi's family is basically consistent with his own estimate, and everything is like an ordinary farmer's house. The houses and courtyards are old but clean, the family is simple and welcoming, and the meals are homely but delicious. It's just that Chu Yuliang said to himself three times, "Your surname is Li", which made her think about it.

Chu Tianqi's family thought that Chu Yuliang was talking nonsense, because Chu Yuliang and Ning Junqi had never met, and they were originally surnamed Ning, but he just said that his surname was Li, what is this not nonsense?

But Ning Junqi felt that Chu Yuliang's words were not nonsense, because the sentence "Your surname is Li" may be right, Ning Junqi is Sui's mother's surname, and her father's surname is Li. And there are many places where I look similar to my father.

It's only been less than five years since I and my father came to Hexi Province, and I've never heard my father talk about having such a friend in the local area. But judging from Chu Yuliang's tone and eyes when he spoke, it was clear that he had identified the sentence "Your surname is Li", could it be that this Chu Yuliang had another identity......?

The more Ning Junqi thought about it, the more chaotic it became, so he simply plugged in the door, walked into the suite bedroom, closed the bedroom door again, and took out his mobile phone to dial a number.

The phone was quickly connected, and a kind middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Qiqi, why did you remember to call your father, is there anything you need your father's help with?"

"Dad, I miss you, can't I give you a call? Call you frequently, you said it would affect your work. If you are beaten less, you blame it. I'll call you today, you think I'm begging you to do something. Ning Junqi said coquettishly, "Comrade Li, don't be so complicated in your thinking, okay?"

"Hahaha......" "Lao Li" on the other side of the phone laughed, "Qiqi, it seems that it is right to let you go to work at the grassroots level, it has only been more than half a year, and you have made such great progress." Dad's words have elicited so many of your feelings, indicating that you have considered the problem more comprehensively. ”

"Dad, are you praising me? Why do I feel like you're talking about my broken mouth?" Ning Junqi continued to coquettishly, and then smiled "Hehe" and said, "Dad, how did you talk to Aunt Yang?" Mom has been gone for so many years, you should also hurry up. After all, I'm almost fifty years old, and I'm relieved to have a companion with me. ”

"Qiqi is really sensible, and she still thinks about her father. Don't rush, just let it be. Besides, aren't you still by your father's side?" Lao Li's tone seemed calm, but in fact he was excited, his daughter had grown up, and now she was starting to worry about her father's affairs.

Ning Junqi sighed lightly: "Hey...... Dad, over the years, you have been a father and a mother at the same time, and it is not easy to pull me up. I can't be with you all the time now, you must be very lonely, and it's better to have a companion. Besides, I can't stay with you for the rest of my life. ”

"Dad's business, you don't have to worry about it. Lao Li said in a relaxed tone, "Listen to your tone, do you have a favorite?"

"Dad, you're here again, I'm still young, and I want to focus on my career, this is what you taught. Ning Junqi said embarrassedly, and then changed the subject, "There is one thing I need to talk to you about." ”

"Oh, let's hear it. Let's see what kind of national event Qi Qi is talking about. Lao Li quipped.

"Dad, be serious. Ning Junqi replied, "I encountered an incident today, which is a bit strange. In the morning, a patient pointed at me and said, 'Your surname is Li,' and he said three times in a row. Their family thought he was talking nonsense, but when I looked at him and listened to his tone, I felt that he was talking normally. Besides, don't they all say that my nose and eyes look like you, and will he know you?"

"Really?" Lao Li's tone also became solemn, "We have only been in Hexi Province for more than four years, and there are only a few people in the province who know about our relationship, and others should not know? By the way, what is his name? What does it look like?"

Ning Junqi said without thinking: "His name is Chu Yuliang, he is a barefoot doctor in Liulinbao Village, Qingniuyu Township, Yuchi County, Woyuan City. By the way, he has a foot without a toe. ”

After listening to Ning Junqi's words, the other party did not move, and after a while, Lao Li's voice came: "I don't know, there is no such person in my impression." Probably nonsense, by the way, you're saying he's a patient?"

"Well, Dad, I always felt that he was normal when he spoke. He went up the mountain to collect medicine in order to save someone, but he fell off the mountain and knocked on his head. Because of excessive blood loss, the hospital took a lot of effort to save him. Later, he was discharged from the hospital, and he was still in a coma, and I heard that he often talked nonsense. I woke up on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and can now know the people in their family. Ning Junqi said about Chu Yuliang's situation, "By the way, Dad, a piece of shrapnel was taken out of his head, Vice Dean Gao said that this shrapnel is at least thirty years old, and Vice Dean Gao is the little Gao you said." ”

Once again, there was no movement in the microphone, and only the sound of breathing could be heard coming from inside, and the breathing was very loud. After a long while, Lao Li's voice seemed to be a little tired: "Qiqi, I really can't think about it, I'll think about it when I come down." It's not early, so you can rest. ”

"Okay, goodbye Dad. ”

"Goodbye. ”

After saying "goodbye" to each other, the father and daughter hung up the phone.

……

On the other end of the phone, Lao Li was still holding his mobile phone in his hand. The few words his daughter said on the phone made his heart ripple.

The surname is Chu, there is shrapnel on the head, and he knows that his daughter's surname is Li. "Could it be him?" Lao Li muttered to himself, and the image of a person appeared in his mind.

"No, isn't he dead? Besides, the name is wrong, and one foot doesn't have a toe yet. Maybe it's a coincidence? Maybe that patient has another Lao Li in his memory. Lao Li denied his idea, but at the same time another question arose: A barefoot doctor would have more than 30 years of shrapnel in his head?
