Wang Tiekui shouted, "One dry is three cups, otherwise the White Dragon King should be angry." ”

Li Rui laughed and asked, "What if the White Dragon King is angry?" Wang Tiekui said, "There will be floods, there will be landslides and cracks, and our village will be even poorer, don't think about getting rich for the rest of your life." Li Rui was startled, how dare he ask again, raised his head and drained the wine in the cup, the wine entered his throat, and then passed through the esophagus and into the stomach, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling.

But before he could rest for a while, Wang Tiekui poured him full again.

After three glasses in a row, Li Rui felt dizzy, his stomach was so uncomfortable that he just wanted to vomit out, and just sat down to eat a mouthful of food, the village director next to him, that is, the village chief, came over with a smile with a wine, "City leader, let's also toast you three cups, you must appreciate your face." ”

Li Rui understands that although the village party secretary is the highest-level leader in the village, just like the boss Song Chaoyang is in Qingyang City, but in the village, the prestige of the village chief is still more, after all, he is elected by the villagers, so he must have a high prestige among the villagers.

The village chief retreated satisfied, and said to the women's director with a smile, "The city leader has a lot of alcohol, I think I can still drink, it's time for you to go." ”

When Li Rui's ears heard this, he had the intention of crying, and saw the women's director, a woman in her forties who still had the charm of her forties, twisting her waist and swinging her hips, and said delicately, "City leader, this time it's my turn, you have to drink these three glasses of wine, I respect you"

Before the banquet was finished, Li Rui ran to the thatched house and vomited, and after a while, Ai Guowei ran over and vomited together.

The two of them were panting as if they were dreaming while spitting, and Ai Guowei shouted, "Oh, my mother, my mother said that the township cadres drank it, it's special, it's really true, it's going to kill me today." These people don't treat wine as wine, they drink it completely as water, oh my mother, I can't do it, I'm going to drink a stomach ulcer. ”

After barely eating half a bowl of rice, Li Rui couldn't hold on and was dizzy. Gu Changshun hurriedly sent Wang Tiekui to arrange for someone to help him to the house to rest.

Li Rui woke up, it was already sunset, standing in the courtyard, without looking far away, he could see the majestic mountains in the northwest direction, the mountains were close at hand, and it seemed to be within reach. The mobile hotel has been removed, and the courtyard is empty, leaving napkins and disposable chopsticks wrapping paper all over the floor, which is really a mess.

Li Rui frowned, he didn't want to affect the head muscles, he immediately felt that the headache was unbearable, and he hurriedly reached out to press the top of his head and several acupoints on both sides, and the pain was slightly reduced, thinking of the wine field at noon, he still had palpitations, and he couldn't drink like this in the future, otherwise, the poverty alleviation was not successful, and he would have to sacrifice on the wine table first, I heard that there were really leading cadres who died on the wine table, and later they were rated as martyrs, it was really funny, I didn't want to be such a martyr, my eyes caught a glimpse of the garbage on the ground, and I thought, how can the people of the village committee be so sloppy, they don't know how to clean up the garbage。

He walked around the courtyard, but did not find Ling Shuyao's figure, and finally ran to the thatched house in the southwest of the courtyard to put water for a while. This thatched house is the most typical kind of farmhouse thatched toilet in the old generation, using the existing courtyard west wall, and in the southeast two sides with stone as the base, bricks and mud on the wheat straw as the wall, forming a small house in the shape of "Gang", on which a small shed is built with ash wheat straw and wood and bamboo, used to shelter from the rain, the ground is a brick hole with a vertical length of two feet and a width of 20 centimeters, and there is a pigsty behind the hole, and human excrement will flow down this hole into the pigsty. If there are pigs in the pigsty, the pigs will come to eat the excrement, and even some of the pigs who are anxious will come over when they hear the sound of people peeing, and block the hole here with their mouths open, waiting for the excrement to flow down.

The whole latrine is 1.5 square meters in size, surrounded by three sides in the east, west and south, and open to ventilation in the north. The thatched houses in most farmhouses in China are basically like this, and nothing has changed for thousands of years.

Li Rui secretly thought that if he lived in this village committee in the future, it didn't matter if he was a big man who went to the toilet, in the famous words of the master of storytelling Shan Tianfang, that is, "the master who in the thatched house and face outward", but Ling Shuyao is awkward for a woman to go to this kind of toilet. For example, when she is squatting to go to the toilet, what should I do if someone walks over her lower private parts will not be seen clearly by the other party It seems that it is necessary to hang a curtain here, anyway, the cotton cloth is not a few dollars, and it can be pulled up a few meters for ten yuan, which is enough to block the door.

He was thinking about Ling Shuyao in his heart, Ling Shuyao had already walked back from outside the courtyard gate, holding a thermos cup in his hand, drinking water leisurely, he glanced at him, and didn't say anything, just stood in the courtyard and looked around.

Li Rui saw her drinking water, only then did he feel that his mouth was dry, how much he wanted to drink two sips of hot tea like her, and secretly thought, "If you replace her with Li Yulan or Zhang Hui, the other party will definitely take a large cup of hot water and hand it to him to quench his thirst as soon as he sees that he is drunk and wakes up." It's just that this woman doesn't care about herself at all, whether she is drunk or awake is none of her business, she doesn't have the slightest friendship with her colleagues, and she doesn't care about herself. It's ridiculous that I'm still thinking about the inconvenience of going to the toilet for her, hehe, I'm really the number one fool in the world. I was secretly annoyed in my heart, how could I have such a colleague, how beautiful she looked, and how many beautiful women around me cared about her

"From now on, I have to think about her and help her again, and I won't be surnamed Li."

Li Rui made this poisonous oath fiercely in his heart, settled down, and asked Ling Shuyao, "What about the county magistrate Gu?" Ling Shuyao said lightly: "When you are drunk and sleep, people will have already left." Li Rui heard that there seemed to be sarcasm in her words, and couldn't help but say, "Do you think I want to get drunk, it's not that I was poured by Wang Zhishu and them," Ling Shuyao sneered, "Who told you to drink it, you have to drink it." If you learn from me, you will come up and say that you can't drink, or you will get it. Li Rui heard her say lightly and skillfully, only angry, knowing that what she said was reasonable, but still retorted, "Ling, you are a woman, you don't know, when you go to the grassroots level, you have to exchange feelings through drinking, if you don't drink, you can't establish a relationship with grassroots cadres, you can't do things without feelings, and how to carry out poverty alleviation work if you can't do things."

Ling Shuyao didn't let go at all, "Then you drank today, which means that you can do things, so when will you start working?" Li Rui said stupidly, "It's not good today, it's too late, start tomorrow morning." Ling Shuyao said, "Starting tomorrow morning, after working for half a day, it's lunch time, and when you drink at noon, you have to get drunk for half a day" Li Rui was furious and said, "Who told you that I will drink again at noon tomorrow, you don't talk nonsense to me." Today, people specially entertained us and made an exception to drink, and there will be no such thing in the future. Ling Shuyao listened to his tone full of anger, glanced at him, and said, "Don't talk about whether you drink or not, you quickly find someone to arrange a place to live, where to live, how to live, and eat at night, how to eat."

Li Rui glared at her hatefully, and said in his heart You were sent by Secretary Song to assist me, how did you get to the place, you didn't do anything, let it go, everything pointed to me Although I am the person in charge, you can't do this, I regret it very much, I secretly hated that I was blind at the beginning, and I would have a good impression of her, and I didn't talk nonsense with her, and got up to find Wang Tiekui.

Wang Tiekui was not in the yard, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Li Rui walked outside the courtyard, and arrived at an east-west dirt road in the village, looked left and right, didn't see a few people, and didn't know where to find Wang Tiekui, so he returned to the courtyard, planning to discuss with Ai Guowei and others, but after looking for the east and west wings, he didn't find any trace of Ai Guowei and others, and he was surprised in his heart, these four won't go back to the city, I caught a glimpse of Ling Shuyao I don't know where to find a small wooden stool, and I was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the sunset"Have you seen the secretary of the king branch in the village?"

Ling Shuyao just shook her head.

Li Rui said to himself, "What should I do if I can't find him," Ling Shuyao said, "You ask me, I ask who to go?"

Li Rui stared at her deadly, eager to kick her petite and slender body out of the small stool, feeling that he couldn't ask too much information from her mouth, so he simply walked out of the yard again, and went west along the dirt road.

A kind old man who was basking in the sunset at the door told him that Wang Tiekui should have gone home, and pointed out the address of Wang Tiekui's house.

Li Rui sighed and looked for it along the road.

He walked through more than half of the village in one go, and along the way, he also saw the scenery of the village in his eyes, and saw that this village was not small, at least twice as large as Xishan Village. The eastern half of the village is more populous and sits on a high ridge and is barely plain, while the western half is less populated and lives on a mountainside, where a dry river is located at the junction of the east and west and has several dilapidated stone bridges. From the river to the east are the plains, and to the west are the mountains.

Most of the houses in the village are typical northern bungalows, with east and west wings, the houses are built with stone as the base, blue bricks as the walls, and wood as the beam rafters. There are also some houses that are adobe houses, and the roofs are covered with artemisia grass, which makes people feel desolate and desolate at first glance.

Typical impoverished mountain village
