Looking at it from afar, I saw that the people were all gathered together, I didn't know what they were looking at, and they couldn't hear what they were saying, after a while, several people scattered, one squatted on the ground with an iron hammer in his hand, and the other raised the hammer in his hand and fell high and hit it, and soon there was a crisp sound of gold and stone clashing.

Li Rui wondered, these people don't want to use manual exploration of mineral deposits, so when they have to dig until they don't know when they can't figure it out, several people have already shifted their positions and walked to the mountain wall not far ahead, where Ding Ding knocked lightly.

After staring at them secretly for about ten minutes, I saw that they were digging and knocking around, and there was no discipline, the only discipline was that they were all gathered in front of the mountain wall, and other than that, they didn't go anywhere, and they were full of evil doors.

Later, he saw that the sunset was gradually setting in the west, and these people in front of him couldn't understand what they were doing, so they didn't bother to look at it, so he got up and went to another mountainside, the position was slightly lower, and he picked more than two catties of sour dates here, made up four or five catties, and made a big plastic bag, so he went down the mountain with satisfaction.

There is no post office in the village, let alone a courier company, and if you want to mail sour dates to the provincial capital, you have to go to the township or county seat. He thought about it, when Ling Shuyao came back tomorrow and went to pick her up, he would mail these sour dates by the way.

Back in the village, he used the 100 yuan he earned by accident to go to the shop to buy a lot of cooked food, what kind of flower pig's trotters and pig ears, what sausage sauce and meat hillbilly, all kinds of smoked fish, and also bought some raw meat and vegetables, and bought a few bottles of very cheap local wine, and then drove to Wang Tiekui's house, asked his wife to rectify, and asked him to call the village cadres that Xie Sanping knew well on weekdays, and called them over to drink.

Although he wanted to open a fire at his house, but in the end it was a free dinner, how could Wang Tiekui not agree and happily called Xie Sanping and the others and called them to the house, where his wife was stir-frying, and a few of them had already eaten and drunk.

This is also the first time Li Rui invited them to dinner, although it is relatively simple, there are no big fish and meat, but it is also very rich.

Xie Sanping gave Li Rui a glass and said with a smile, "Director Li is so generous today." Li Rui didn't like to listen to this, as if he was sarcastic about his usual generosity, and said that the village chief was not good at speaking, and he couldn't speak at all, and said with a smile on his face, "It's not my own money that is spent." Xie Sanpingqi said: "Oh, it's not your money that was spent, but whose money is it, Director Ling's money, haha." Li Rui shook his head and said, "No, that's the case," and told the adventure when picking sour dates in the afternoon.

Wang Tiekui and Xie Sanping were both indignant after hearing this.

Wang Tiekui slapped the table and scolded, "Damn, where did this come from, it's really lawless for the exploration company to come to our Xiaolongwang Village to engage in exploration and not say hello." Xie Sanping said angrily: "Could it be that there are still minerals in our village, they don't tell us that they want to swallow it privately," Wang Tiekui asked Li Ruidao, "Where are they now, are they still in the village, hum, and when they finish eating, they have to reason with them." Xie Sanping said, "That is, if you want to engage in exploration in our village, okay, you have to pay money or not, why let you explore in vain, everyone says, is this reasonable?"

Everyone agreed in an uproar, and one by one they made suggestions, "I'll go to them in a while, and I can't let them run." "It's really bold to dare to explore privately without saying hello, is there any village cadre like us in my eyes" "That is, you can't spare them if you catch them this time, don't think about leaving without paying the money." ”

Li Rui was amused when he saw that they only had money in their eyes, and he had a deeper understanding of their greed, but he still had to ask them to help coordinate the poverty alleviation work in the future, and he couldn't offend these people, so he echoed and said a few words.

After eating, it was almost o'clock, and these village cadres did not rest, and immediately got up to find the group of people who were engaged in exploration. Li Rui was not interested in this matter, so he went home directly.

He drove back to the entrance of the alley, only to see Shi Dayong, Li Feiyan and another man standing there chatting. When the three of them saw that his car was back, they hurriedly dodged and got out of the way.

With the bright headlights, Li Rui found that Li Feiyan was looking at him with affection, and his heart moved, this girl won't really take a fancy to herself, as the saying goes, opposites attract, she doesn't look bad, and she is from the city, so it is reasonable for this girl to like herself.

He parked the car, got out of the car and met the three of them, and took the initiative to hand it over to the strange man, saying, "You are the owner of the bonsai."

He didn't ask "Are you Li Feiyan's man", but asked him what his hobbies were, which not only covered up his friendship with Li Feiyan, but also pointed out the importance he valued for him bonsai and him as a person.

Even he himself felt that this was a really clever question, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

This man is Li Feiyan's man Zhang Liwen, he originally did not have any good impression of Li Rui, a poverty alleviation cadre from the city, but after returning home, he heard his mother and wife say that the city leader likes his rockery bonsai very much, and the way to get rid of poverty and become rich, which has a good impression of him, and once this good impression is generated, it is turbulent and irrepressible, and he feels that he has met a bosom friend for the first time in his life"Hello city leaders, I am the one who makes bonsai, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Liwen. ”

Li Rui smiled and said, "Well, the rockery bonsai you made is very good, I just want to talk to you." It's best if you're here, so let's go inside and talk. ”

Shi Dayong said, "Go to my house and talk about it, and I'll listen to it too, and see if I can make some money with it, hehe." ”

Li Rui naturally had nothing to do, and nodded in agreement. The four of them entered Shi Dayong's new house. Shi Dayong instructed his daughter-in-law to make tea, and beckoned Li Rui and others to sit down as guests.

Li Rui said to Zhang Liwen straight to the point, "Your rockery bonsai is very good and beautiful, those who love landscapes, poetry and painting or vassal elegance will like it very much after seeing it, especially those who are sixty or seventy years old, have retired at home, and have nothing to do The old leaders and cadres usually like to raise flowers and yo-yo birds, so they will definitely be able to accept this kind of rockery bonsai." If there is a suitable price, it will definitely sell well. Zhang Liwen scratched his dirty hair with his thick mud-covered fingers, and asked stupidly, "But how to sell it?"

Li Rui looked at him, and saw that he was about one meter six or five tall, his body was relatively stocky, he was not ugly, but he was definitely not handsome, the clothes he wore and his image were very sloppy, and the broken leather shoes on his feet were even more disgusting than the broken shoes abandoned in the garbage heap, such a man, if he was in the city, he was afraid that it would not be easy to find a daughter-in-law, but in this poor ravine, he could marry a daughter-in-law like Li Feiyan, which is to say that God is not partial, I am afraid that no one will believe it, thinking that such a sloppy soldier-like guy can enjoy himself happily on a beautiful woman like Li Feiyan at night, so he couldn't help but be depressed, secretly jealous, and glanced at Li Feiyan, Seeing that she was staring at herself with burning eyes, her heart moved, what did she always look at herself like this, did she really fancy herself

When Li Feiyan saw him coming, she hurriedly turned her head, her face was already red, her eyes turned to the man, looked at the man's clothes, and then looked at the man's disgusting appearance, compared with what she saw him just now, and her heart fluctuated.

Li Rui said, "You don't have to worry about how to sell it, I have me, I just want to ask you, do you want to listen to me, do this bonsai business." Zhang Liwen smiled stupidly, "If you can really make money, fools don't do it." Li Rui smiled and said, "Before I start doing it, I have to make it clear, because I have never sold this kind of bonsai, I just think it is very beautiful and can be sold for money, but whether it can be sold for money and how much it can be sold, to be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart." So, in the beginning, you don't have to make too much, and don't put down your old job. You first make four or five of the most exquisite and beautiful rockery bonsai, and I will help you pull it to the city and find a place for you to exhibit and sell. If you can sell it, think about what happens next. ”

Zhang Liwen said gratefully, "I haven't seen anything in the world, I don't understand anything, I don't know how to sell it at all, so I entrust it all to the city leaders." I'll do it when I get back and do it as soon as possible. Li Rui said, "Don't worry, I still have to go back to the city after a while, you do it slowly, do it beautifully and meticulously, and strive for a hit." Zhang Liwen nodded again and again, and said, "Don't worry, leader, I will definitely make a few of the most beautiful ones." "Li Ruidao" The selection of materials should be richer, and the color of the stone, the type of weathering, and the plants matched on it should be as colorful as possible, so as to facilitate the selection of customers with different tastes. Zhang Liwen said, "Okay, okay, I remember it all." ”

Even if this matter is over, next, Li Rui doesn't know what to talk about with this typical farmer, Yu Guang found that Li Feiyan seems to be staring at him again, and his heart moves, if he has the opportunity, he can get along with her.

At this time, Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law came up to refill the water for him, and said with a smile, "Come, city leader, drink more water." Li Rui smiled bitterly, "Don't call me the leader of our city anymore, I don't know when it was spread by you, why do you call me that, I'm not a leader." Just call me by name. After Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law refilled the water for him, she stood beside him and said with a smile, "Director Li, when will you show our family and find a way for our family to get rid of poverty and become rich."
