Tang Yi just smiled and chatted with Mao Haishan, Mao Haishan was even ready, as long as Tang Yi mentioned the photo at the beginning, he would find an excuse to return the photo to him, but he couldn't take care of other things, handing over the photo, no matter what the consequences were, it was better than having a headache in his hands every day, and he thought that Tang Yi would be more wary of himself in the future, but he would not regard himself as an opponent because of this photo.

After the meal, Tang Yi Shi Ran went back to the office, Mao Haishan looked at Tang Yi's back, and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the afternoon, Tang Yi received a call from Wu Heng, secretary of the Youth League Committee, but the phone mentioned that in the New Year, a prosecutor from the procuratorate also gave many books and puzzle chess to the students of Hope Primary School as gifts, and the prosecutor was also going to go to Hope Primary School to have a look. Please ask if you can bring this prosecutor with you when you visit the children at Hope Primary School tomorrow afternoon.

Tang Yi didn't want to go to the countryside with great fanfare, but just notified the Youth League Committee and the Education Bureau to select a few typical hope primary schools, and sent cadre representatives to visit the children with him tomorrow afternoon, so that he could go to the countryside with Mayor Tang. As for the Education Bureau, the Secretary went to study abroad and Deputy Secretary Wong was represented.

Tang Yi heard that a prosecutor also gave Hope Primary School books, but he became curious, and asked Wu Heng's name as a prosecutor, Wu Heng said that the female prosecutor surnamed Chen, Tang Yi just smiled, but he happened to have something to talk to Chen Ke.

Before getting off work in the evening, Tang Yi received a call from Chen Dahe, who said with some hesitation: "The photo, it seems to have been found." ”

Tang Yi is a little strange, Chen Dahe has always been straightforward, if he finds it, he finds it, if he doesn't find it, he doesn't find it, what does it mean to seem to have found it? That's not his style.

I met with Chen Dahe at the small bar on the top floor of Xinhua Hotel, and when I saw the photo taken out by Chen Dahe, Tang Yicai suddenly realized that it was a photo of himself and Qi Jie, but it had been blackened with black ink, and he couldn't tell who the person in the photo was, even if it was himself, if he was not preconceived, he couldn't imagine that this was a photo of himself and Qi Jie.

In the afternoon, someone from the lost and found office of the city bureau sent the wallet that was found, and the staff of the collection office found that there was a business card of a small steel cannon in it when they checked the lost property, so they hurriedly reported it.

In addition to a bunch of keys in the wallet, it was this photo.

Tang Yi looked at the photo and smiled slightly, it seems that it really passed into Mao Haishan's hands, and it was thanks to him that he came up with this method.

Tang Yi put away the photo, clinked glasses with Chen Dahe, and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”

Chen Dahe slowly took a sip of beer, and wanted to ask what to do about Dazhi, but Tang Yi didn't mention it, but he didn't speak easily, let alone mention the name Dazhi to Tang Yi casually. I thought in my heart, Brother Tang Yi will always have a way, right?

……

Although Tang Yi wanted to follow the light car, but after arriving in Kuancheng, it was inevitable to keep up with a small convoy, mainly the county magistrate in charge of culture and education in Kuancheng, the Youth League Committee and the cadres of the Education Bureau and other departments, this was still Tang Yi's rejection of the proposal of the secretary of the Kuancheng County Party Committee and the county magistrate to accompany him to the countryside.

Chen Ke, like Wu Heng, sat in the car of the Education Bureau.

In front is a car from Kuancheng leading the way, followed by Audi, and then behind is the car of the Municipal Education Bureau and the rest of the cars in Kuancheng.

Tang Yi looked at the car where Chen Ke was sitting in the rearview mirror, a little helpless, but he didn't have a chance to say that.

In several Hope Elementary Schools, the same routine is used, visiting classrooms, visiting teachers, talking to students in a certain class, handing out gifts, and the Young Pioneers express their gratitude on behalf of all students. When the gifts were distributed, they couldn't see the innocent smiling faces of the children at all, and they sat upright one by one, and put them on the desks after getting the wrapped books.

Tang Yi just sighed softly, when he reached his current position, it was no longer easy to get in touch with the real side of society, which could not be changed by issuing a few orders casually.

According to the planned arrangement, the next school is relatively remote, the convoy stopped in front of the rugged mountain road, Tang Yi led the team to walk, more than three miles of mountain roads, walked for more than half an hour, only to arrive at this school, and the principal discussed Tang Yi only found that the principal and teachers elsewhere are different, knowledgeable, extremely wise, asked, but it is a national special teacher, after retiring is not willing to be lonely, to exert residual heat.

Tang Yi chatted speculatively with the principal, and when he realized that the time was a little late, he realized that it was already dark.

Originally, there was a more remote Hope Primary School, but it was necessary to enter it through this ravine and walk another hour to get there. Wu Heng proposed that it was too late, so it would be waived.

Tang Yi asked the person in charge of the Kuancheng Education Bureau next to him, "Can you notify them?" ”

The person in charge said with a sad face: "Don't talk about the phone there, there is no electricity." ”

Director Huang of the Municipal Education Bureau glared at the person in charge, why didn't he open his brain?

Sure enough, Tang Yi stood up: "Then let's go, don't let the children wait!" ”

The headmaster nodded approvingly.

Wu Heng is extremely good at talking, "Mayor, I think it's too late, if you rush there now, you can only stay there, I have been to the primary school, a teacher, seven or eight students, and there are only a dozen households in the nearest village to the primary school, we people have no place to settle down, and it is too troublesome for the villagers, you see?" ”

Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "Then let's go, you, Director Huang, me, Comrade Xiao Chen, and comrades from Kuancheng, just go back!" ”

Wu Heng saw that Tang Yi was not posturing, so he didn't say it anymore.

The cadres of Kuancheng County have an excuse, they can't wait to go back to the warm nest of the county seat as soon as possible, the mountains are too cold, and the more than three miles of mountain roads just now have made some cadres complain, and the excitement of starting to follow the mayor to inspect is gone, of course, there are also some cadres who want to go with the mayor, but Tang Yi gave an order, and the objective conditions really do not allow it, so they had to watch the mayor and a few people go down the path at the school gate.

Baligou Hope Primary School.

Tang Yi, Wu Heng, Director Huang, Chen Ke, and Junzi arrived at this Hope Primary School at six o'clock, and in early spring, night had fallen.

Baligou Hope Primary School is very simple, there is only one classroom, no wall, standing alone on the barren slope, the children of the nearby mountain people come here to study, there is no administrative village here, the mountain people are naturally scattered and lived, and the largest natural village is only a dozen families.

Further north, it is already very close to the deep mountains and old forests, which are also the most frequent refuge places for refugees who are not familiar with the domestic situation but have fled North Korea, and refugees often starve to death in this deep mountain.

It's a dark day, and there are no lights. You can vaguely see some figures standing in front of the classroom.

Wu Heng led the way, walked up, and asked, "Is it Teacher Xiao Zhou?" "It's not that Wu Hengqiang has heard of the blog and picked out a few hope primary schools that the mayor will visit, he naturally wants to have a general understanding of these primary schools, and this is the most remote and representative primary school.

One classroom, seven students, ranging from eight to fifteen, all started from the first grade of primary school, but for the older ones, Teacher Xiao Zhou accelerated their progress, after all, they are a few years older, and their ability to accept knowledge will be stronger.

"Yes, you're from the city?" The girl's pleasant voice.

Closer, through the faint moonlight, you can see that a handsome girl in her twenties in front of the classroom is leading seven or eight children of different heights to stand, although most of the children's cotton clothes are covered with thick patches, they are all clean and tidy.

Wu Heng walked over and shook hands with Teacher Xiao Zhou to introduce himself, and then introduced Tang Yi, Director Huang, Chen Ke, and Junzi to Teacher Xiao Zhou.

Obviously, when shaking hands with Tang Yi, Teacher Xiao Zhou was very excited and restrained, and said shyly: "I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Wu Heng explained beside him: "I proposed to come to see you again tomorrow, but Mayor Tang was afraid that you would wait, so he couldn't bear it." ”

Teacher Xiao Zhou turned around and said loudly to the children: "Have you seen it, Uncle Mayor walked the mountain road overnight in order to come to see us, you say, Uncle Mayor is good?" ”

"Good!" Neat and crisp children's sounds.

"Then what are you going to do to repay Uncle Mayor?"

The next answer was chaotic, and a young child's voice said loudly: "Study hard, make progress every day"

A child voice said: "I want my mother's pancake stall eggs for the mayor's uncle to eat." "This is probably a delicacy that can only be eaten at home during the Chinese New Year.

“……”

Listening to these children's sounds, Tang Yi smiled, and immediately felt that this trip was not in vain, and when Junzi distributed the books he was carrying to the children, he caused loud laughter, and the chaotic voice of "Thank you Uncle Mayor" and "Thank you Uncle".

Tang Yi said to Teacher Xiao Zhou: "It's too late, let's go home for the children, let's stay tonight, and come to see the children tomorrow, ah, their home, is it far away?" Then he sighed and shook his head: "Formalism! ”

Director Huang and Wu Heng were a little uncomfortable.

Teacher Xiao Zhou smiled: "Mayor Tang, don't say that, these children are used to walking mountain roads, sometimes, we get out of school later than this, besides, the notice of the Education Bureau does not require us to wait for you at night, I really want these children to meet you, perhaps, now they are still young, will not understand the meaning of meeting you, but when they grow up, recalling the past, this moment, but they will be a valuable treasure worth remembering for a lifetime, they will know that this world is full of warmth and love." ”

Tang Yi didn't expect that Teacher Xiao Zhou was very eloquent, and smiled slightly: "Anyway, let's tell them to disperse now, whoever is far away from home, let's send them separately." ”

Teacher Xiao Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is only one child who lives far away, today, I will take her to Baligou for one night, her family has said that it is okay, and the other few do not live in Baligou, I will send it." ”

Baligou is a natural village with only a dozen households, but some villagers have no concept of the mayor and don't seem to be in awe, but they have sincere respect for Teacher Xiao Zhou.

Under the communication of Mr. Xiao Zhou, the villager with the best conditions in the village gave up his three main houses and went to the dormitory built for Mr. Xiao Zhou in the village to deal with a night, Tang Yi was arranged to live in, this household has a kerosene lamp, Mr. Xiao Zhou went to borrow another one, and it was full of kerosene.

The east and west rooms burned the kang warm, and the little girl who was farthest away from home was called Daya, and she also stayed here tonight.

This farmer didn't have any decent furniture, and it was a few wooden stools borrowed by Mr. Xiao Zhou, but they were really egg pancakes, and under Tang Yi's greeting, several people sat in a circle around the wooden table, eating pancakes, and drinking egg soup to ward off the cold. The eldest girl eats the most with relish, and Tang Yi feels bad for a while.

After eating, Tang Yi chatted with Teacher Xiao Zhou and the eldest girl, learned about the local customs, and asked Teacher Xiao Zhou if he had any ideas to help the villagers get rid of poverty.

Teacher Xiao Zhou sighed: "I understand teaching and educating people, and I am a layman to get rid of poverty and become rich." ”

Probably because the walls of the villagers' houses were thin, as if the mountain breeze could blow in, and it was very cold in the house, Mr. Xiao Zhou proposed: "Let's sit on the kang and talk." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's talk all night today." ”

Teacher Xiao Zhou said well, knowing that Mayor Tang would definitely not be used to this kind of condition, let alone cover the villagers' bedding.

Tang Yi turned back to Wu Heng and Director Huang and said, "If you are tired, go to sleep, you don't have to accompany me!" ”

Wu Heng and Director Huang were already too cold to go to the West House, although they couldn't sleep on the villagers' bedding, but they were much warmer when they lay on the hot kang head and covered with quilts, and after a while, the two fell asleep.

Junzi didn't go to the kang, he sat and leaned against the corner, the general's coat was covered on his head, and he was napping there, Tang Yi knew his thoughts, no matter what, without him, it was not appropriate for him and the two girls to sit around the kang head.

On the kang, there was a low wooden table in the countryside, and a light gray tablecloth was laid on the wooden table, Tang Yi, Chen Ke, Teacher Xiao Zhou and the big girl sat around the table, Tang Yi and Chen Ke sat opposite, looking at Chen Ke's little face that was red from the cold, Tang Yi was a burst of pity.

The kang head is hot, although it is a little hard, but in cold weather, it is quite comfortable to sit on.

While chatting, Tang Yi saw that the eldest girl was a little wilted, so he smiled and said, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow." Although the next day was Saturday, the older children did not rest, and it was also Teacher Xiao Zhou who wanted to catch up with the progress and make up for the lost time of these children.

Teacher Xiao Zhou said: "Tomorrow, I will give them all a day off, it is not good to be too tight, borrow you to relax." ”

Tang Yi sighed, and Chen Ke proposed: "I, I seem to have a pair of checkers left in my bag, let's play chess, right?" Let's talk as we go. ”

Tang Yi nodded, Chen Ke stood up, walked to the side of the kang and sat down to wear leather shoes, a dark blue uniform, Xiuzu was wearing snow-white socks, she picked up the delicate black leather shoes and put them on her feet, tied her shoes, saw Tang Yi stunned for a while, and then retracted her gaze, and smiled bitterly in her heart, this little Chen Ke, said that she was a child, but the femininity was getting more and more, saying that she was a woman, but looking at her serious little appearance when she tied her shoes, it was clearly a child-like focused look, as if she had just met her, full of childishness, I just had the idea of helping her put on her shoes and take care of her.

Perhaps, she looks strong and pretends to be mature, but in fact she is the most helpless and most in need of love.

Tang Yi sighed softly, when Chen Ke sat up again, he didn't know when he would set up the checkers.

"Mayor Tang, you can smoke, cigarette ash, just bounce on the ground." Teacher Xiao Zhou could see that Mayor Tang was smoking.

Tang Yi shook his head, touched the little girl's head, and said, "Don't choke this child, passive smoking is more harmful." ”

Teacher Xiao Zhou smiled and said: "It's rare to see a leader like you with a sense of public morality...... and then knew that he was too relaxed, so he hurriedly picked up the checkers and said, "I'll go first!" ”

Tang Yi smiled and turned around, but saw that Chen Ke was a little distracted, looking blankly at her hand stroking the big girl's little head, a long, long time ago, she used to like the warmth brought by this hand...... Tang Yi was slightly stunned, slowly retracted his hand, coughed lightly, and picked up the checkers.

While walking checkers, while asking about the big girl's school, Chen Ke also chatted with Teacher Xiao Zhou in a low voice, Teacher Xiao Zhou was very interested in the work of the procuratorate, and asked long and short questions, Chen Ke was tireless, and there were questions and answers.

As he spoke, Tang Yi's feet under the table stretched out, but he touched a soft and cold little foot, Tang Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately knew that it was Chen Ke's feet, Chen Ke sat with his knees crossed, a pair of beautiful feet just stretched into the bottom of the table, but his feet were too long.

Tang Yi wanted to retract his feet, but he stretched out his two feet and clamped Chen Ke's pair of cold little feet, using the heat from the soles of his feet to bring her warmth, Tang Yi could feel that Chen Ke's two feet were tense, but he didn't move, letting Tang Yi's feet clamp.

Tang Yi looked up, but saw Chen Ke talking to Teacher Xiao Zhou, and glanced at him sideways, with no expression on his face.

In the first game, but the big girl won, naturally the three of them let her, the big girl is the first time to play, won the chess and cheered happily, and excitedly placed the chess pieces, Xiao Zhou Teacher smiled: "This game will not let you, don't cry your nose if you lose." ”

In the second set, Tang Yi's words were less, because he gradually felt that the feeling brought by his feet under the table seemed to be more and more wrong, at first, Tang Yi subconsciously wanted to give Chen Ke's cold little feet some warmth, but as time passed, a strange feeling came to his heart, especially at the beginning, Tang Yi's feet were slowly rubbing Chen Ke's feet, the piece was smooth and soft, which made Tang Yi's feet itchy and crispy, and when he woke up suddenly, Tang Yi's feet didn't dare to move anymore, and wanted to retract it, but he was a little reluctant.

At this time, Teacher Xiao Zhou suddenly asked, "Mayor Tang, are your feet cold, do you want to cover them with a quilt?" ”

Tang Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tukang, it's quite warm." The body moved, and he took the opportunity to retract his feet. Secretly glanced at Chen Ke, but saw that Chen Ke still didn't have any expression, Tang Yi sighed in her heart, and she didn't know what she thought of herself now, thinking about herself in front of her, she didn't seem to have any positive image except for the beginning, and she was even more "molested" when she was in distress, but she was not married at that time, and at that time, she couldn't help but say that she couldn't help it, whether it was a man's surname, she could still justify herself, at most, she thought that she was a little lustful, today, she was only afraid that her actions would provoke her contempt, would she feel that she was married, But he doesn't know self-love, and he wants to take advantage of her, but he is too lazy to pay attention to himself because of his face.

……

I didn't sleep all night, but the next day Tang Yi was still full of energy, and visited a few mountain people before saying goodbye, but Teacher Xiao Zhou and Chen Ke were obviously wilting.

On the way back to Anton, Chen Ke took Tang Yi's car, and before going to Hope Primary School, Tang Yi had already revealed to Director Wu Heng and Director Huang that he was an old colleague, and Wu Heng and Director Huang had to go to Kuancheng to do some business, so Chen Ke naturally took Tang Yi's car.

Seeing Chen Ke leaning on the seat and opening his mouth to yawn, Tang Yi couldn't help laughing: "They have all become iron girls, and they are still like children, and they don't pay attention to their image at all." ”

Chen Ke turned his head to look out of the car.

Tang Yi was a little embarrassed when he touched his nose, thought about it and said: "Ah, there is something I want to ask you for, a friend of mine is in some trouble and deliberately hurts people, I will tell you the facts of the case, you can see how you can help him." ”

Junzi slowly pulled over and said, "I'll go down and smoke a cigarette." ”

Looking at the soldiers smoking in the front of the car, Chen Ke, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly smiled, "For a while, you won't come to the traffic police to check you again, right?" ”
