In the past three days, Huang Weining has traveled all over Qingyang City, from east to west, north and south, and she has gone to places where her grandfather Huang Xinghua has been; she has also gone to places where her grandfather has not been, and the scope of the places she has inspected is even broader than that of the whole city after Song Chaoyang came to Qingyang last year to investigate and investigate.

Today, Huang Weining came hundreds of miles to the northern poverty belt of the administrative region of Qingyang City, and visited the education situation here, Li Rui accompanied her to visit for more than half a day, and successively inspected the primary and secondary schools in four townships and eight villages in two counties. Li Rui felt a little sorry for her delicate jade feet wrapped in low-heeled deerskin scoop shoes.

Huang Weining shook his head and sighed with a solemn expression: "I never thought about it - even now I can't believe that there is such a poor place in China, and the children here are even standard, no, it is official...... Not right, uh...... I don't know how to describe it...... There is not even a complete set of clothes, everything in the village primary school is even more miserable, fence walls, thatched huts, a few benches, no lecterns, no blackboards, this is a classroom? It is also a school? I can't imagine how the children can go to class in the wind, rain and even winter?"

Jiang Meixian next to her listened to her heart, and her beautiful face was full of sympathy.

Li Rui sighed and said: "No way, the environment here is too bad, it is a typical poverty due to the environment, lack of water, little land, the only little arable land is still barren, and the crops of every household belong to the type of harvest from the sky, and they may have just enough to eat for a year, and they can't even eat enough." In addition, the impoverished counties have no financial revenue, and they all rely on the poor county hat on their heads to get financial relief and barely survive, and the county's education system can receive even less financial subsidies, most of which have to be invested in key primary and secondary schools in the county, so how can they have the spare money and energy to manage these poor village primary schools in the deep mountains?"

Huang Weining frowned and shook his head, and after half a sound, he pointed to a small village with sparse houses in the southeast direction of the mountain, and said, "Let's go to that village to have a look, and we can return after seeing this village." ”

Li Ruishun looked in the direction of her finger, frowned slightly, and said: "It's a bit far there, don't go, it may take seven or eight miles of mountain roads to go down, and what's even more terrifying is that our car is parked in the township, and we have to go back the same way when we go to this village, which is equivalent to walking fifteen or sixteen miles." ”

Huang Weining glanced at him and said, "You can't hold on?"

Li Rui smiled bitterly: "It's not that I can't hold it, I'm worried that you won't be able to hold it, you usually pamper yourself, where have you walked so many roads at once? Are they all uneven mountain and stone roads? Your feet will not be able to stand it, I don't know how many blisters to make, then you won't be able to go anywhere tomorrow." ”

Jiang Meixian next to her smiled when she heard this, but her eyes were full of warmth when she looked at him.

Li Rui asked strangely, "Cindy, what are you smiling at?" Jiang Meixian smiled: "Mr. Li, I found that you care about everyone around you. ”

Huang Weining said lightly: "I can't go anywhere, I'll rest at home." Li Rui nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, listen to you, you are the boss, and the boss is the biggest." ”

Huang Weining pursed his lips and smiled, and walked down the mountain first. Li Rui smiled bitterly and glanced at Jiang Meixian and followed. The road down the mountain is potholed, and it is full of rocks, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to step on it, walking ten steps is equivalent to walking a hundred meters on flat ground, or even more difficult, but there is no way.

The three of them came to the village, asked the villagers about the location of the village primary school, and rushed all the way.

On the way, passing by a small courtyard with the sign of the two village committees, Li Rui subconsciously glanced inside, but saw that two people came out of the courtyard, a woman and a man, the woman walked in front, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a ponytail, a snow-white complexion, a delicate appearance, a slender figure with a bit of plumpness, dressed very fashionably, at first glance, she was not from the village.

Li Rui was shocked when he saw this woman's face, immediately stopped, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, surprised and delighted, and shouted, "Apprentice?"

In fact, he didn't shout this, the woman had already seen him, and she was very surprised after recognizing him, and when she heard his "apprentice", the joy on her face suddenly turned into infinite sadness, her eyes were red, and she cried instantly, crying and shouting: "Master!"

This woman is none other than Li Rui's eldest apprentice, Jiang Wei of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau Office.

Li Rui was about to step forward and ask her why she suddenly appeared here, but she cried out at once, and Huang Weining and Jiang Meixian next to her looked suspicious, angry and funny, and stepped forward and said: "I said why are you crying? ”

Jiang Wei didn't listen at all, grabbed his arm, and whimpered: "Master, save me, if you don't save me, I'm going to die here, he Shi Dalin is really not a thing, he can't kill me in the bureau, so he sent me here to help the poor in the village......"

Li Rui saw that the man behind her was looking over, and hurriedly whispered: "Don't say it yet, wipe away your tears, and find a place where no one is around." If you don't explain how I can save you, don't worry, the master will always be by your side. ”

Jiang Wei nodded, sobbed twice, and said, "I regret it now, when you recommended me to be a secretary to the female leader, I didn't agree, I ......"

Li Rui said: "Don't talk about it, when is it, quickly wipe away your tears." ”

Jiang Wei sighed, wiped the back of her hand twice, grabbed Li Rui and walked to the secluded place diagonally, and told her the sins she had suffered.

It turned out that Shi Dalin, director of the office of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, saw that Jiang Wei could not be subdued, so he took the opportunity of this "city-wide poverty alleviation campaign" to justifiably send Jiang Wei to the poor ravine in the north of Xi County, and let her be stationed in the village to help the poor. But Jiang Wei herself is a weak woman, and she has been sitting in the office, how can she understand poverty alleviation, after coming to this poor village and staying in the village, she doesn't understand anything, and there is no one to ask for advice, the result is that she messes around all day long, and she also knows that she can't go back to the city if she can't get results, and she is also very anxious to get angry, but what's the use?

Having said that, Shi Dalin just used this insidious and vicious trick to force her to be obedient, you can't do it, it's okay, then listen to me obediently, and I will find a way to get you back; if you don't plan to get along with me, that's fine, you can do it, do it, and make a difference, otherwise, you will never want to go back.

If she were another woman, she might have succumbed to Shi Dalin, but fortunately, Jiang Wei was more stubborn in this regard, and she would never pretend to be a man she didn't like, not to mention that she had long hated Shi Dalin to the bone, and she would not succumb to it. So the two of them were consumed, but Jiang Wei really couldn't stand the hard and boring life in the mountain village, and she had reached the verge of collapse, otherwise she wouldn't have cried as soon as she saw Li Rui.

After hearing this, Li Rui hated his teeth, and said in his heart, Shi Dalin, you are a dog thief, you are really ruthless, you are so cruel to my big apprentice, do you really think that I have nothing to do with you? Don't feel a little ashamed in my heart, I have already promised this well-behaved disciple in front of me to help her deal with Shi Dalin, but it has been half a year, and I haven't hurt a single hair of Shi Dalin, how can this be worthy of people's ardent expectations?

He took a deep breath and asked, "Where do you live now?" Jiang Wei said with a bitter face: "I live in a lady's house, her wife has passed away, her son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all working in other places, she is the only one in the family, the village party secretary arranged for me to live in her house, I usually eat with her, three meals a day are stick noodle porridge, I am about to drink and vomit, I want to vomit when I say stick noodle porridge now, uh......" After speaking, he covered his mouth, it really looked like he wanted to vomit. Li Rui couldn't cry or laugh, raised his hand to take her hand down, and said, "That's it, you endure it for two more days, I want to find a way to save you back." This time, I will say that I can't do it, so you will divorce me as a master. ”

Jiang Wei pleaded with rain: "Master, you must save me this time, otherwise I will really die in this poor ravine, and you will never see me again." Li Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can endure it for two more days." Jiang Wei nodded again and again, and asked again: "Master, why are you here, what are those two beauties doing?" Li Rui briefly introduced the identity of Huang Weining's second daughter, and explained the purpose of this trip. Jiang Wei said: "The village primary school is right, I know the road, I will take you there." I've been in the village for the past few days, and I haven't done anything, but I've learned all the roads in the village. ”

Li Rui looked at her pitiful appearance, smiled bitterly, took her to Huang Weining's second daughter, made a brief introduction, and asked her to take her to the village primary school.

Half an hour later, when Li Rui was about to leave, Jiang Wei dragged his arm and whispered: "You must save me back as soon as possible, I have nowhere to buy an aunt's towel when I come to my aunt now, and there are men peeping on the wall in the thatched house during the day, I am really worried that I will be ...... one day" Li Rui exclaimed incredibly: "Really?" Jiang Wei said: "What am I lying to you for?" There was a hole in the wall of the thatched house in the courtyard where I lived, and people began to look at me through the hole, and I found bricks to block it, but they continued to look at the wall unscrupulously, as if they had never seen a woman, I was so scared. ”

Li Rui nodded heavily, and a hint of cold light appeared in the tiger's eyes......

At half past seven in the evening, Li Rui, Huang Weining, and Jiang Meixian's two daughters returned to the city, and had dinner with them again - Huang Weining invited them and sent them back to Huang Weining's house - Jiang Meixian also moved over, and then dragged her tired body away, but she didn't go home, stopped on the side of the road, took out her mobile phone and called Dong Jinli.

"Hey, Brother Jinli, how is your relationship with Shi Dalin now?"

Dong Jinli said with a smile: "It's Xiao Rui, what have you been busy with lately? Why did you suddenly ask about Lao Shi?"
