After eating in the morning, Li Rui told Lu Qingman that he was going to Qingyang Hotel to see if Song Chaoyang had returned, and after explaining, he took a taxi to Qingyang Hotel.

Song Chaoyang naturally hasn't come back yet, otherwise Li Rui wouldn't have been promised a three-day holiday at the beginning of the holiday. Li Rui wandered aimlessly in the Qingyang Hotel for a while, neither met Li Xiaoyue, nor found Dong Jieyu, he was bored for a while, and ran to the municipal party committee building diagonally across the road, went to the secretary's office and walked around, and waited to pass the boredom until almost ten o'clock, and then went home. On the way, I found a Xinhua bookstore, went in and bought a few children's books and history books, and bought a new schoolbag and a set of stationery.

Before walking out of the bookstore and taking a taxi again, he called Ouyang Xin, and after answering, he asked: "Beauty, it looks like it's going to rain this day, are we still going into the mountain?" Ouyang Xin sighed faintly: "It seems that the charm of my blue-faced confidant is still not big enough, a rain...... No, it's not raining yet, and it's making someone retreat. Li Rui smiled: "Look at what you said, I just look at your will, not to retreat." In fact, let alone rain, even if the knife is used to put sulfuric acid, as long as my Ouyang wants to go, I will accompany her. Ouyang Xin burst out laughing and said, "Don't be poor, let me see your actual actions." Li Rui said: "Okay, then it's decided, set off at half past twelve at noon." ”

Ouyang Xin was taken aback and said, "What are you doing so early? You don't eat?" Li Rui said: "Before entering the mountain, you will accompany me to Wulong County first, so you have to set off early, I will eat in advance, and you will eat early." Ouyang Xin asked curiously, "What are you doing in Wulong County?" Li Rui teased her: "Go visit my little lover." Ouyang Xin was stunned for a moment, and said with a half-loud smile: "You can't just go to see your little sunny person, why don't you take me with you." Li Rui smiled: "By the way, besides, I only have time to see her today." Ouyang Xin snorted: "Just go, I want to see what you look like as a little lover." Li Rui laughed, as if he had made a lot of money from her.

The two made another appointment to meet and hung up the phone.

Back home, Li Rui asked Lu Qingman for instructions: "In the afternoon, I plan to go to Wulong County to visit the left-behind children who are paired with me, and send her some books and stationery or something. In addition, I also have to accompany a friend into the mountains to inspect the wild vegetable project in the mountains to see if we can build a poverty alleviation project base. ”

Lu Qingman is sensitive when he should be sensitive, for example, when he hears the female names related to Li Rui, he is very virtuous and gentle most of the time, so after listening to Li Rui's instructions, he agreed without thinking about it, and asked him if he wanted to buy a new dress for the left-behind child or something.

Li Rui didn't know the size data of Xu Jianhua, the left-behind child he was paired with, not to mention that almost a year had passed since the pairing, and the little girl's size must have changed again, so it was difficult to buy her suitable clothes, so he had to refuse Lu Qingman's proposal.

At noon, Li Rui finished lunch in advance, went to the bathroom to wash up, said goodbye to Lu Qingman, picked up the newly bought schoolbag, and walked to the meeting place with Ouyang Xin.

When he arrived, Ouyang Xin had already parked her Mercedes-Benz sedan on the side of the road, he walked to the co-pilot door with a smile on his face, opened the door, put his schoolbag on the co-pilot's seat, and said to the blue-faced confidante sitting in the driver's seat: "Come and sit, I'll drive." ”

Today, Ouyang Xin, the general manager of the hotel, is wearing a very sporty one, a black Adidas sportswear, the sportswear is a little loose, but it better sets off her slender and slender figure, the same is the place where it should be shrugged, and the place where it should be concave is concave, which is very reverie, and there are a pair of white sneakers on her feet, which is specially prepared for mountaineering. This sportswear is worn on her, which does not damage her glamorous demeanor, but also adds a bit of youthful and toned atmosphere to her, which makes her more and more beautiful and moving. Li Rui saw her image in his eyes, and he liked it even more in his heart.

Ouyang Xin was surprised when he saw the schoolbag he put down, which was obviously for students, stared at it with wide eyes, and asked puzzledly: "What is this schoolbag for?" Li Rui didn't answer and asked: "You guess?" Ouyang Xin glanced at him charmingly, and said: "How do I guess this? Who knows what you are doing with a schoolbag all of a sudden? Could it be that you want to pack wild vegetables?" Li Rui smiled: "If you don't guess, forget it, get out of the car, I'll drive, we have to hurry up, the afternoon time is very tight." It's getting cloudier and cloudier this day, but don't really rain, you have an umbrella in the car, right?" Ouyang Xin said: "There is one, don't worry, it won't get up." After saying that, he got out of the car.

The two got into the car separately, fastened their seat belts, Li Rui drove on the spot and turned around, turned left at the intersection, and drove all the way east, the destination was Wulong County, which was due east.

He drove intently, and Ouyang Xin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was bored holding the schoolbag and observing, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "What is in it, it's quite heavy, can I open it and take a look?" Li Rui nodded and said: "Yes, why can't it, do you still need to ask." Ouyang Xin said seriously: "Of course I have to ask, what if there is something inconvenient for me to see inside?" Li Rui smiled and asked: "What can be contained in it that is inconvenient for you to see?" Ouyang Xin smiled and flattened his mouth, and said: "Who knows? Maybe you brought something to your little lover, for fear that I would see and laugh at you, so I deliberately put it in my schoolbag to cover up." Li Rui laughed out loud and said, "That's right, it's the things I brought to my little lover, you can open it and take a look." ”

Ouyang Xin was suspicious, reached out and unzipped the schoolbag, stared in, and when he saw that it was actually children's books and stationery, his face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "What are you doing?" Li Rui smiled: "Didn't I tell you everything, this is to see my little lover, and the things in it are all brought to her for use, what else do you ask?" Ouyang Xin pursed his lips and said, "Your little lover is still in school, right? You don't even let go of the students? Li Rui laughed again and said, "Did you just find out? I am the human-faced beast heart, you waited, and when there were only the two of us in the mountain, I would also treat you with the beast heart." Ouyang Xin glanced at him with a smile and said, "You really don't have the guts......

The two talked and laughed all the way, but they didn't feel that the road was lonely, and Li Rui drove fast, so they rushed to Wulong County in more than half an hour, and it took more than ten minutes to rush to Land Township, and finally parked the car at the gate of Xu Jianhua's house.

After getting out of the car, Li Rui picked up the schoolbag, called Ouyang Xin, walked into the yard, and soon saw the little girl Xu Jianhua. Today is a national holiday, so Xu Jianhua also has a holiday, at this time is feeding a group of hens raised at home: first chop the cabbage gang and rotten leaves on the board with a knife, and then pour it into a large aluminum basin, put a certain proportion of bran, and then put in some other ingredients, and finally add water and stir evenly, and then pick up this large aluminum basin, walk to the chicken coop, and scoop a spoonful into the food basin in the chicken coop...... It's hard work.

Li Rui and Ouyang Xin were shocked when they saw that she was thin and thin, but she skillfully handled the work that should have been done by adults.

Xu Jianhua was very happy to see Li Rui coming, and he didn't care about feeding the chickens, so he hurriedly put down the big spoon and ran to him, shouting "Uncle Li is good", looking up at him with his eyes, his eyes were full of good feelings and gratitude to him.

Li Rui squatted down, hugged the shoulders of this thin girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, first asked her about her recent situation and family situation, and then specially asked her about the difficulties she encountered in life and study, and then encouraged her to study hard and strive to be admitted to university in the future.

The little girl was very sensible, and accepted gifts such as schoolbags, but she resolutely didn't want the 500 yuan. Later, it was Ouyang Xin who persuaded her and gave her an idea, "You can wait until you grow up and make money, and then return it to Uncle Li", so she reluctantly agreed.

While the three of them were talking, Xu Jianhua's grandmother came out of the house, and after learning about the origin of Li Rui and the others, she hurriedly went back to the house to make tea and pour water for the two. Li Ruiwan rejected her kindness.

Before leaving, Li Rui deliberately left Xu Jianhua's mobile phone number, telling her to contact herself for help if she encountered any difficulties, and the little girl also agreed, but no one knows whether she will call when she is really in trouble.

When the Mercedes-Benz sedan drove out of the poor and backward land township, the two people in the car were in a heavy mood, and no one spoke. The car quickly drove into the national highway and headed northwest all the way to the destination of the mountain, Shijiafen Village, Matou Town, Hanshui County.
