Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Children of the Poor Are in Charge of the House at an Early Age

The car continued to drive forward, and Liu Jianjun didn't dare to show off his so-called political achievements along the way, for fear that it would backfire like just now, so he just silently considered the matter of building the road. Through the original understanding and the communication just now, he knew that Leng Yunfei was a person who did practical things, and in his place, no matter how good he said it and how close he was, it would be in vain if he couldn't get results.

Liu Jianjun was also a hot-blooded man who embraced the masses and wanted to benefit one side, he worked in Taihe Township for almost ten years, and naturally wanted to do something for the parents and villagers on this side, but over the years, he has been involved in the whirlpool of power struggle, and now he seems to be a little embarrassed when he thinks about it.

Now that Mayor Leng has given instructions, he has strengthened his confidence and determination to do a good job in this matter.

The car was bumpy, and Liu Jianjun suddenly saw a thin figure outside the car, carrying some firewood on his back, dry firewood cobs with forks, dry corn stalks, and some small tree branches. These things were haphazardly tied with a rope and tied to their thin backs, and they looked so uncoordinated, and their steps were a little stumbling.

As if hearing the sound of the car behind him, the thin figure ducked to the side of the already narrow road, looking at the car with some nervous trepidation. The car got closer, and as if he hadn't given in enough, he took two steps back. There was farmland on the side of the road, and it had been harvested in autumn, and the field was empty, but because it was raining and it was very muddy, he stepped on the thin mud in the field with his foot when he stepped back, and suddenly he sank into it, and his shoes were dirty, and his pants were stained with mud.

Alas, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, but in such a cold weather, how can parents rest assured that their children will pick up firewood alone? Before he could sigh, he suddenly froze.

Hey, isn't that the Xu family's child Xiaowei that Mayor Leng is looking for? Didn't the big boss of Feiyuan Company take her to the city a few days ago? Why are you still here? Liu Jianjun was afraid that he would admit his mistake, so he took a closer look, this should be right, just a few days ago, he personally accompanied the big boss of Feiyuan Company to the Xu family, and he had only seen this child, and at that time he felt that this child had a good life and met a nobleman, so he was very impressed, how could he admit his mistake?

didn't care to guess the reason, so he hurriedly pointed to the thin figure outside the car and said to Leng Yunfei: "Mayor Leng, this kid is the Xiaowei you are looking for." ”

Hearing what Liu Jianjun said, Leng Yunhong immediately looked in the direction of his finger, and said with a suspicious look on his face: "Didn't you say that she was taken to Changfu Middle School to study?" How did it end up here? ”

Liu Jianjun also showed a very puzzled look, but his tone was very decisive: "Yes, I also think it's strange, but I personally sent her and the big boss of Feiyuan Company into the car that day, and I will definitely not admit my mistake." ”

Leng Yunhong hurriedly asked Xiao Wang to stop the car, pushed open the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the little girl, Liu Jianjun and Du Guoping hurriedly followed.

Seeing an uncle get out of such a good car and walk towards her, the little girl was even more nervous, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run behind.

"Xiaowei, don't run, don't run, you don't know me? I'm your Uncle Liu over there! Seeing that the little girl wanted to run, Liu Jianjun hurriedly called, this is going to let this Xiaowei run, although it has nothing to do with him, but wouldn't it be better to be able to show his ability in front of Mayor Leng?

Hearing her name called, the little girl stopped, turned her head and looked timidly at the uncle who called her name, and after a while, she seemed to recognize him, and the look of fear and vigilance in her eyes faded away, but she still did not speak, just looked at the three of them.

"Your name is Xiaowei, right?" At this time, Leng Yunhong walked in front of her, squatted down, and looked at her with pity.

Perhaps because of the wetness of the firewood, the little girl's whole body was wet, and her body seemed to be shaking with a chill, and in the gap between the long hair that was a little messy and clinging to her pale cheeks, a pair of deep and black and white eyes stared at Leng Yunyu with a look of awe, and even looked at Liu Jianjun from time to time, as if Liu Jianjun, the person she knew, made her feel a sense of security.

Liu Jianjun hurriedly stepped forward and said to the little girl very kindly: "Xiaowei, this is the mayor's uncle, this time I took a special trip to see you, don't be afraid, the mayor's uncle is good." The tone and content were very kind, but when it came out of the mouth of a man with a fierce face, it felt like Grandma Wolf was coaxing Little Red Riding Hood, which was quite funny.

At this time, Du Guoping took a coat from the car and put it on Leng Yunping. Coming out of the warm car, it was indeed still a little chilly, and even Liu Jianjun seemed to shiver. He looked at Du Guoping's actions, and he was very emotional, this is worthy of being a caring person around the leader, his heart is so careful!

However, Leng Yunfei didn't seem to accept this feeling, but took off the coat from his back, wrapped it in the little girl, and said, "Xiaowei, it's too cold here, go, get in the car with Uncle, and Uncle will send you home." ”

The little girl seemed to be a little scared, and seemed to be a little curious about the car, she looked at Liu Jianjun, Liu Jianjun gave her a hint of encouragement, and she was a little cowering and twisting and being pulled to the front of the car by Leng Yunfei.

Before getting into the car, Du Guoping wanted to take off the firewood on her back, but when she touched the firewood, she broke away and Du Guoping quickly ran to the side, looking at Du Guoping very vigilantly, as if this person was going to snatch his baby away.

Du Guoping smiled helplessly and said to her: "Xiaowei, you can't put firewood in the car, let's not want it, okay?" When you get home, Uncle will go and get you more firewood. ”

As soon as she heard what he said, the little girl took a few steps back, and still held the rope that tied the firewood in her hand, as if she was worried that the firewood would disappear as soon as she let go, and it seemed that she valued this firewood very much.

Du Guoping had no choice, he could only look at Liu Jianjun, Liu Jianjun also had a headache, this Xiaowei is obviously a very tough character, it seems very difficult for her to give up these firewood, but don't give up, this mayor's No. 2 car is used to load firewood, and it's not a joke to pass it out, and it can't be pretended. But Du Guoping's eyes, he can't ignore it, let's not say that he is at the deputy department level, the level is half a level higher than himself, and what is even worse is Mayor Leng's secretary, and he is thinking about taking refuge in Mayor Leng, to offend him, can he be good in the future?

When he was in a dilemma, Leng Yunphong spoke, asking the driver Xiao Wang to open the trunk of the car and let him load the firewood inside. Liu Jianjun was overjoyed, and hurriedly went up to the little girl to compare and explain, and explained again and again, the little girl went to look at the trunk by herself, and then thought about it sideways, and seemed to think that it was feasible, and put down the firewood on her back with the help of Xiao Wang and Liu Jianjun, and put it into the trunk of the car one by one, and then carefully followed Leng Yunfei into the car, and looked around after getting into the car.

The moment the car started, the little girl seemed to be startled, but the fear was quickly replaced by surprise, and looking at the changing scenery outside the window, a childlike innocent smile finally appeared on her face. But no matter what Leng Yunfei or Liu Jianjun or Du Guoping said to her, she didn't say a word, at most, she opened her eyes wide, look at this, look at that, a pair of big eyes seemed to be able to speak, but what she said, everyone was confused, and no one understood.

Under the guidance of Liu Jianjun, it didn't take a few minutes to arrive at the place.

Houmu Village leans on the side of the mountain, in Taihe Township is also a relatively remote place, although it is called a village, but the whole village is not very many households, and it is not completely together, plus the weather is not good these days, therefore, Leng Yunping's No. 2 car came, and it did not cause a big sensation, that is, some idle and bored adults and children looked strange, and they seemed to be pointing behind the car and seemed to say something, looking strange.

It's no wonder that although Leng Yunping's No. 2 car is an old Santana car, it is well maintained and still looks very magnificent, especially in this remote mountain village where you can hardly see a car, there has never been such a car, and there is a motor vehicle at most that is a tractor, which is still old-fashioned. What is this car for, who is looking for, everyone is very curious.

Xiaowei's current home is a common yard in the countryside, an earthen house, and the gate is a courtyard of twenty or thirty square meters, and the yard is just a middle house, an old-fashioned three rooms, that is to say, there is a hall house and three bedrooms. The courtyard is connected to the main house on both sides, with a kitchen and a thatched house on one side, a pigsty in the thatched house, and a cattle pen and a utility room on the other, which generally holds harvested rice, firewood, and other messy things.

Liu Jianjun explained to Leng Yunping: This is Xiaowei's second uncle Xiao Jiefang's home, and it is also Xiaowei's temporary home. Xiaowei's father came here from other places, and her relatives were not in the local area, so after their family had an accident, Xiaowei also lived in her second uncle's house. At the beginning, there was a dispute between the two uncles over who would raise Xiaowei, but in the end, the eldest uncle Xiao Jianshe supported Xiaowei's grandparents and refused to raise Xiaowei anymore, and after mediation, the second uncle's family also reluctantly agreed to raise Xiaowei because the government allocated Xiaowei's land subsidies to them.

A while ago, Feiyuan Company sent Xiaowei a condolences of 3,000 yuan, and said that he wanted to bring Xiaowei to Changfu, but this time he made his uncle Xiao Jianshe angry, and changed his mind to raise Xiaowei. However, Xiao Wei's uncle Xiao Jianshe obviously refused to give up, and threatened to make trouble, so that Xiao Jiefang could not be allowed to embezzle Xiao Wei's money. This matter has caused a lot of uproar in the local area, but everyone knows what the purpose is.
