Xiao Rui thought that Qiao Xin was scaring him at first, but now when he saw that there was only one sheep intestine path into the village in this endless mountain range, he was intimidated.

Fortunately, he insisted on exercising every day, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up with Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin walked in front to lead the way, her steps were light, and it was as if she was not struggling at all to climb the mountain.

He Xiaoxiao and the other members of the research team were far behind them.

They had never climbed such a steep hill before, and every now and then they had to stop for a break.

"Mayor Qiao, do you often climb mountains? Look at your thin and small body, you have so much strength! Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Xin: "I'll tell you the truth! I worked as a women's director in the village committee for a year, and at that time, I came in with the staff of the family planning station every day to work on family planning. ”

"No wonder you're so familiar with this place, and your mountain-climbing fitness has also been honed here, right?" Xiao Rui looked at her with admiration and said.

"Yes! I had just graduated from university at the time, and I was full of passion to contribute to the construction of my hometown, but I didn't think that I would be assigned to be a women's director in this remote place, and I would often come into the village in the middle of the night. Because these superborn villagers run to hide during the day, we can only wait for them to fall asleep at night, and then we quietly go to block their doors and take them to have birth control surgery. So we can only take tough measures. I remember a woman pointing at my nose and scolding: You came at such a young age to do such a thing of cutting off children and grandchildren, be careful that you will get retribution in the future. At that time, I was so aggrieved that I cried......" Qiao Xin gushed to Xiao Rui about the past.

Xiao Rui listened very fascinated, and the two walked to the top of the mountain unconsciously.

At this time, He Xiaoxiao shouted in displeasure: "You two plan to leave us behind, right?" ”

Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui looked back, only to find that the others were still crawling halfway up the mountain.

Especially He Xiaoxiao, she is fat, and she usually doesn't like to exercise, so she is already tired and out of breath.

She saw Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui talking and laughing along the way, and she panicked with jealousy. I thought that Qiao Xin, a rural girl, wanted to rob Xiao Rui with her? There are no cracks in the door.

Although she is not Bai Fumei, she was born in a big city and her parents are intellectuals.

And Qiao Xin was born in a poor and backward mountain, she has no father since she was a child, and she still relies on bank loans to finish college.

The more He Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more proud she became. She planned to find an opportunity to confess to Xiao Rui.

……

A group of people stopped and walked for more than three hours before finally arriving in the village.

Most of the houses in the village are still dilapidated tiled houses with yellow mud walls.

At this time, a tall and thin man came to him, he recognized Qiao Xin, and ran forward excitedly: "Mayor Town, are you here to help the poor?" I also want to apply for the subsistence allowance from the government, but I don't know who to go to, so I'll apply to you directly. ”

Qiao Xin glanced at him and asked, "Did you just come back from the drug rehabilitation center?" ”

Thin man: "Yes, I quit, last night the village chief held a meeting and said that our village will get government support projects, I didn't expect you to come so soon, mayor, I'm not greedy, give me more than 400 yuan a month for the subsistence allowance, I will be satisfied." ”

Qiao Xin said sharply: "I won't agree to your application for the subsistence allowance, people like you who sit and wait for the government to help the poor every day, the more they help them, the poorer they get!" ”

The people present looked at each other, thinking that Qiao Xin's words were too straightforward, right?
