Xie Sanping pretended to ask casually: "Director Li, I heard that during the day today, Hu Liquan's kid invited you to sit at home, can he sit at his house, and even invited our honorable city leaders to sit in a place where the kennel is not as good, I really didn't take you seriously." Li Rui's heart moved, and he said with a smile on his face, "Yes, he invited me to sit at home and asked me some good ways to get rid of poverty and become rich." Xie Sanping said, "He didn't say anything else," Li Rui shook his head and said, "No, he just wants to make money as soon as possible, and the more he earns, the better." Come, Director Xie, I would like to toast you and thank you for your hospitality. ”

The two drank the wine in their cups, and the village security director hurriedly rushed to refill the wine for the two.

Wang Tiekui said, "Director Li, it's not that I look down on people, that Hu Liquan is really not worth dealing with." He didn't have a serious attitude all day long, and he spread rumors everywhere, and the people in the village called him Hu Da Yan. Don't ignore him in the future, but avoid him. ”

Xie Sanping also said: "Don't believe his words." If you listen to him, you can be at fault every year. He's full of guns all day long, and no one in the village likes him, so they treat him as a psychopath. ”

Li Ruixin said, it seems that Hu Liquan's reaction to the embezzlement of poverty alleviation funds by the cadres of the two village committees is really true, no, he hasn't reported it yet, these people can't sit still first, and they join forces to demean him, don't you know that this is to cover up, hehe, that is, I don't want to care about this matter, otherwise, no one can run away from the old few of you in front of me, and he laughed and said, "Mmmm, he sounds a little awkward when he speaks, okay, don't talk about him, let's drink, drink." ”

Everyone toasted and drank and ate a few more bites of food.

Wang Tiekui asked, "Director Li, is there any poverty alleviation funds or material assistance in the city for our Xiaolongwang Village this time?" Li Rui said in his tone, "There should be, and it is estimated that there will be a lot." Wang Tiekui's eyes lit up when he heard this, he glanced at Xie Sanping, and said with a smile, "Oh, how many can you have" Li Rui was full of nonsense, "How can it be tens of millions, it is a poverty alleviation pilot, and we must increase investment." Wang Tiekui believed it and said in surprise, "So much"

Xie Sanping exclaimed in surprise, "My mother, there can be so many," after speaking, he got up and poured wine on Li Ruiman, and asked with a smile: "Then in what form will these money be distributed, just like the poverty alleviation funds issued by the county in the past," Li Rui said, "It should be." Xie Sanping said happily, "Then which leader comes down with this money, if we want to apply, which leader will we find to sign" Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "Except for me, there should be no outsiders" As soon as the words fell, someone under the table kicked him.

Li Rui looked sideways and saw that Ling Shuyao was eating vegetables with her head down, but her eyes were full of disdain, it was estimated that she kicked it, and asked with a smile, "Ling has an opinion" Ling Shuyao pouted and said, "What opinion do I have, you are the supervisor, I listen to you." Li Rui smiled, "That's the best, the best." ”

Wang Tiekui and Xie Sanping had just finished looking at each other, Wang Tiekui personally put a chicken thigh into his bowl for Li Rui, and said with a smile, "Director Li is the best in managing this money, we are also old friends, and it will be easy to apply in the future, right" Li Rui said, "Of course, not to mention, this money was originally going to be invested in your Xiaolongwang Village, and it is also natural for it to be handed over to the cadres of the two committees of your village." Wang Tiekui immediately said, "Director Li, you have also seen that our village party branch and the village committee work together, sharing an old house, the environment is too dilapidated, it can't keep up with the times at all, and it can't entertain guests at all." I think it is necessary to apply for a batch of funds first to upgrade the hardware environment of the two village committees. The environment of the two village committees has improved, so that they can better receive city and county leaders and provide services to the villagers more attentively, isn't that what you say?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "That's natural, this proposal is very good, don't worry, I will definitely support you with this idea." But he scolded in his heart, a group of greedy black wolves, embezzling the special funds allocated by the county poverty alleviation office, and even made up his mind to hit the money of this poverty alleviation activity, I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't know how to write the dead word It annoyed me, even if the dog takes the mouse, you have to settle a few of you first.

Wang Tiekui and Xie Sanping were very happy when they saw that he had promised happily, and beckoned their subordinates to toast him together.

After another round of wine, Xie Sanping said, "Director Li, I heard that some villages on the outskirts of the county have established poverty alleviation, development, production and breeding bases, and the benefits are very good, which has led to the common prosperity of many villagers. I also want to do the same, just one in our Xiaolongwang Village, which can solve at least a dozen labor positions and bring huge benefits to more than a dozen villagers, and I hope Director Li can also support more. After the money is down, I write an application, and you have to sign it for me. Li Rui asked, "How much money does it take to build such a poverty alleviation base" Xie Sanping said, "It's not much, it's enough to pay more than 200,000 and 300,000 yuan, the city doesn't want to allocate tens of millions this time, my money is also a small meaning." Li Rui agreed, nodded with a smile, and said, "I didn't say it, Director Xie, I wrote down this matter, you can just write an application another day." ”

Xie Sanping was very happy, beckoned his daughter-in-law to come over to toast Li Rui, and said a lot of words of gratitude, almost praising him as if he was a recreated parent.

After eating, Xie Sanping personally drove the family van to send Li Rui and Ling Shuyao home, and after delivering them to the door, he opened the back door of the van, removed two cardboard boxes from inside, and said, "Director Li, Director Ling, this is my personal little meaning, thank you for coming to our Xiaolongwang Village to help the poor, I hope you don't dislike it." In the future, let's work together with strength, have money and spend together, hehe, my old Xie is a friend enough, you will know in the future. That's it, I'll go back first, hehe. He smirked and returned to the car, reversed out of the alley, and quickly disappeared at the mouth of the alley.

Li Rui opened one of the cardboard boxes and looked at it, it was a box full of walnuts, although it was not sinking, there were more than ten catties, according to the price in the supermarket, this box of walnuts was three or four hundred yuan, and his heart moved, Xie Sanping had begun to bleed in order to get the poverty alleviation money from his hands.

Li Rui picked up one of the boxes, and when he saw Ling Shuyao standing still, he said, "You don't want it" Ling Shuyao reprimanded, "What do you want, do you know that you are taking bribes" Li Rui laughed and said, "Accepting bribes is to do things for people, but I only accept things, not for him, this is not called bribery." Ling Shuyao snorted, "What shameless truth, let me tell you, as long as you accept his benefits, you won't be able to avoid him in the future." Li Rui said, "Then do you teach me what to do and send him back, I guess he won't want it, and if he really sends it back, he will offend him." Besides, these two boxes of walnuts, you think they are a little valuable, but for the people in the mountainous areas, they are everywhere in front of the house and behind the house, which is nothing at all. You can take it. Ling Shuyao heard that he had a little sense, so she bent down and picked up the box, and said, "I can say okay first, this is what you asked me to accept, and if something happens in the future, don't look for me." Li Rui smiled and ignored her, and went back to the courtyard with the box.

At this time, it was just a little more than a little past evening, and Li Rui did not rest after returning to the house, continuing to discuss the poverty alleviation strategy and determine some details. Ling Shuyao was really unambiguous and accompanied him to study. The two discussed a few words from time to time, and the time was spent in this boring work.

It wasn't until ten o'clock that the two of them washed up and went to bed.

When he slept until one o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Rui was suddenly awakened by the screams of Ling Shuyao in the outhouse, and after waking up, he calmed down, and after making sure that he was not dreaming, he got up from the kang and shouted outside, "What's the matter, Ling Zhu, you let the scorpion sting again"

As soon as the words fell, Ling Shuyao rushed in as if she was being chased by a wolf, but she startled him, turned on the electric light and asked, "What's wrong" At this time, I stared at her, and saw that her face was pale, full of panic, she was only wearing warm underwear, and her pants were completely outlined with the shape of Brother Wen, as for the feet, they were bare, not even shoes, and the two snow-white feet were stepping on the cold ground.

Ling Shuyao quickly ran to the kang head, nervously shouted, "Snake snake, there is a snake" Li Rui was slightly stunned, and said, "Snake, isn't there a snake in this season, isn't it hibernating, where is it" Ling Shuyao had a bewildered expression, and said, "I don't know where I crawled out, anyway, I crawled into my bed, scared me to death, ah, I'm going to die" Li Rui stared at her in disbelief, and said, "It's really fake" Ling Shuyao said. If you don't believe it, go and see that this house is simply uninhabitable, even if there are scorpions, and snakes, I don't live, I don't dare to live, I want to go back to the city, go back to the city."

Li Rui didn't believe her words very much, with a half-believing attitude, got off the kang and put on his shoes, walked to the outhouse, and saw that the room was pitch black, there was no light at all, and he was very puzzled, since there was no light, how did Ling Shuyao know that there was a snake in the bed, walked to the wall and pulled down the lamp rope, and the room was lit up, and then walked to the single bed

But isn't it, just in Ling Shuyao's quilt, near the position of the pillow, there was a small golden snake more than a foot long, lying motionless, except for the snake hyacinth occasionally spit out, it was not obvious that it was alive at all.

Li Rui swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked at the door, and saw that the door was closed, and it was impossible for the snake to climb in, and looked around the corner, but he didn't see any obvious rat holes, so he could rule out the possibility that it crawled out of the rat holes, and then looked up at the roof, which was covered with rafter beam turf, could it be that the snake fell from the roof
