Chapter 559: Live as You Wish
The person who spoke was the deputy county magistrate of the counterpart poverty alleviation county who was responsible for receiving Sheng Lanlan.
"How far does this have to go?"
"It will take at least two hours, and there will be no road after this ridge, so you have to change to a donkey cart and go down the ridge into the village. ”
"Forget it, it's better to walk in a donkey cart!"
Sheng Lanlan's decision-making was so wise that it was hard to climb the stone shuttle-like mountain roads in sneakers. If you take a donkey cart, you can't break up the shelves.
"In fact, the natural resources of Guniuling are still very good, and there is an immortal cave in the back mountain, but there is no money to develop it......"
Finally ushered in a god of wealth, and the deputy county magistrate tried his best to attract some investment to drive the county's GDP. Sheng Lanlan didn't care to listen to him, Ou Suyang half-supported and half-supported her, she was walking hard and sweating profusely.
"The road here is so difficult, why don't you build the road?"
"Who doesn't want to build roads, but they have to have money! Other resources that are better than here don't have money to build roads, and here doesn't contribute to the county's economy at all, so it's their turn to build roads......
The deputy county magistrate wore hard-soled leather shoes and was supported by two assistants to walk and stumble. He didn't expect Sheng Lanlan and Ou Suyang to really go to Guniuling Village.
According to his thoughts, it is already great for the God of Wealth to donate money to help the poor, and he even has to visit the poverty alleviation targets in person.
Sheng Lanlan doesn't want the poverty alleviation fund to be left behind, and the money must be used to help those who really need it. It is impossible to imagine the limits of poverty without seeing for yourself.
Every house is made of stone, and it is simply covered with linoleum to protect it from rain and wind. There are black holes in the house, and a few wooden planks are put together to make a bed, and those who can spread two broken beds on the bed are already considered well-off.
"There's no water or electricity here. ”
"How can you live without water and electricity?"
Sheng Lanlan didn't dare to look at the dull eyes of the villagers, let alone the eyes of the unclothed children hiding behind the rocks and peeking out.
"This village has been around for more than 100 years, and it's all been like this. There is water in the cave in the back mountain, and the villagers have to carry it if they want to use water. ”
Sheng Lanlan grabbed Ou Suyang's hand tightly, and the nerves stimulated by poverty could not be calmed.
The poverty here is beyond her imagination, and to help these villagers, it is not enough to build a school or dig a well.
"We have to hurry back to the county, stay a little longer, the sun will go down, and the road will be even more difficult. ”
The deputy county magistrate led the way in front, and Sheng Lanlan and Ou Suyang held hands with each other and walked up the stone ridge. Suddenly, a little girl rushed out of the stone house on the side and rushed towards Sheng Lanlan.
"Sister, please save my mother, my mother is dying......
The little girl looked like she was six or seven years old, with a sallow face, tattered clothes, and her hair disheveled like a bush of thatch at the back of her head. A pair of slender eyes were full of tears, kneeling in front of Sheng Lanlan and Ou Suyang, crying one after another.
"Xiaohua, what are you doing!"
The deputy county magistrate turned around and scolded the little girl, and motioned to the two assistants beside him to pull the little girl away.
"Sister, you are a living bodhisattva, please save my mother. ”
Xiaohua was pulled by two assistants and pulled towards the stone house. Sheng Lanlan couldn't bear to look at it.
"You let her go, we just happened to have medicine, let's go and see. ”
There was a woman lying motionless on the broken bed of the stone house, and Ou Suyang stepped forward to probe the woman's snort and touched her forehead again.
"Maybe it's cold. ”
Sheng Lanlan hurriedly went to the backpack to find medicine, took out a bottle of cold medicine and was about to hand it over. Ou Suyang held her hand, shook his head, and took out a small bottle of liquid medicine from the mezzanine of the medicine box.
Sheng Lanlan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that the little girl's mother did not suffer from the wind chill at all......
"I'll feed you. ”
Sheng Lanlan snatched the medicine in Ou Suyang's hand, ignored the sour smell on the woman's body, and poured the medicine into her mouth.
"Your name is Xiaohua?"
"Hmm. ”
"Your mother will be fine, you remember to give her some hot water in the evening." ”
Xiaohua nodded sensibly.
Sheng Lanlan and Ou Suyang went up to the top of the slope and sat in the car,
"It's so hard here! I don't know how to help them. ”
Sheng Lanlan leaned on Ou Suyang's shoulder, and it already made her sad when she arrived at a place to alleviate poverty.
"Take your time, let's do our best. ”
Ou Suyang patted Sheng Lanlan's face. Sheng Lanlan turned her head to look out the window.
"Isn't that a little flower?"
I saw that on a boulder on the edge of the stone ridge, a thin figure kept looking this way.
"What a pathetic kid!"
"Her mother will be fine, and it will not be pitiful to have a mother's child. ”
"I hope so, but look at their home......"
Sheng Lanlan couldn't go on.
Back in Zhongzhou, the Shenglan Fund pulled out the largest amount of money to build roads and water and electricity in Guniuling. As long as the road is open, the children in the village can go to school and see a doctor in the town.
"You said that it will be two years before you can get through, will Xiaohua be delayed at that time?"
"What new ideas do you have?"
Ou Suyang saw Sheng Lanlan's thoughts. After returning from Guniuling, Sheng Lanlan often put small flowers on her lips.
Sheng Lanlan also felt that she had some kind of fate with Xiaohua in the dark. Every time she closed her eyes, it was as if she saw Xiaohua looking at her with a pair of Danfeng eyes full of tears.
Sheng Lanlan always felt that she had to help that child as soon as possible, and she couldn't wait for a day.
Things were done quickly, and Zhang Yanqiu was particularly efficient in doing this kind of thing. As long as Wang Zhiyuan made a few phone calls, Xiaohua was sent to the county to study in a residential primary school.
Sheng Lanlan set up a special scholarship for Xiaohua, and asked Zhang Yanqiu to send her living expenses on time every month.
The first time I received a letter written by Xiaohua in pinyin, Sheng Lanlan took a long time to understand the meaning.
"Xiaohua knows how to be grateful!"
Xiaohua does know gratitude, and it has been ten years since she kept in contact with Sheng Lanlan, and later became the enemy that Sheng Lanlan had to face. This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
On this day, Sheng Lanlan just got up from a nap in the office, and Wu Lijun came.
Wu Lijun's change surprised Sheng Lanlan.
"Mr. Lan, I'm taking the liberty to disturb you today. ”
Wu Lijun was wearing a lemon yellow and decent professional dress, wearing delicate light makeup. The opening is a professional standard smile, sweeping away the smell of the past.
"Welcome, welcome!"
Sheng Lanlan knew that Wu Lijun had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
Wu Lijun and Yue Guozhi have been married for more than half a year, and they have never thought of thanking Sheng Lanlan as a matchmaker. Today's sudden visit is certainly not to express gratitude.
"Yue Guozhi and I divorced by agreement. ”
"Oh?"
Sheng Lanlan was not surprised by Wu Lijun's straightforwardness.
"Actually, I am very grateful to you for helping me to be a matchmaker, without this experience, I may still be addicted to the dream of being with Yue Guozhi and unable to extricate myself. ”
Wu Lijun smiled with a smile on her face.
"You will be happy when you live your life. ”
Sheng Lanlan didn't want to ask the inside story of Wu Lijun and Yue Guozhi's divorce.
