971 Almost Arranged By Dad Guo (4/4, For Ning Xiaojia's Wan Wan
At noon, Tan Huizhen, as she said before, kept Ding Xiang down and had lunch at home. However, Ding Xiang could not show her cooking skills because the Guo family also hired a nanny.
To be precise, it is a time worker. Tan Huizhen invited her from her hometown. She is a well-informed aunt. She will come every morning and lunch. Of course, even if no one cooks, Tan Huizhen will not invite guests to dinner at home and let them cook.
Ding Xiang was trembling with this meal because Guo Zhengyan was back for lunch. Mayor Guo also had a job on weekends, but he was a little more leisurely than usual. On Sunday, he finished some official duties in the morning. If there was no sudden emergency, he would arrange a rest for an afternoon to read books or something.
Guo Zhengyan is much more majestic than Tan Huizhen. Sitting opposite him, Ding Xiang felt as if he was stared at by a tiger. He didn't dare to breathe heavily, and he didn't dare to make too many moves.
However, when Tan Huizhen saw that Ding Xiang only knew how to cook rice, she also asked Ding Xiang to eat more dishes: "Don't worry about losing weight! I know that you young people all want to look good at losing weight, but they all have pale faces and thin skin. What do you think? Eat more meat and eat more dishes."
Guo Ziyan also took care of Ding Xiang. She saw Ding Xiang's nervousness, and even helped her pick up a few chopsticks and said with a smile: "Sister Ding Xiang, look at my mother's remarks. Now you understand why my brother and I have become fatter?"
Guo Zhengyan also saw Ding Xiang's nervousness. He thought that his habitual stern face scared the guests, so he picked up a tissue on the table, wiped his mouth, and spoke to Ding Xiang: "Xiao Ding, are you from Xiangxi? Where is Xiangxi?"
Ding Xiang quickly raised his waist and sat upright and replied: "Uncle Guo, I am from Yanye County, Mouta City, Xiangxi."
"Mowta City..." Guo Zhengyan thought about it carefully, nodded gently, and said, "I have some impression. Almost ten years ago, something happened to you. The country's poverty alleviation funds were misappropriated. At that time, a group of people were sent to investigate. I didn't go, but I heard that it was a big fuss. All the leaders in Xiangxi were beaten down."
Ding Xiang opened her mouth and made no sound. She didn't know how to answer this topic.
More than ten years ago, she was still studying ignorantly on the mountain. She didn’t know that the world was so big and so wonderful. How could she know about those officials?
"Don't talk about work when you get home!" Tan Huizhen said a fair word for Ding Xiang, "How can these children know about what you said?"
However, Guo Zhengyan did not agree with Tan Huizhen's statement and said seriously: "Young people cannot always focus on the entertainment industry, but also need to learn more about family affairs, state affairs and the world!"
"Uncle Guo is right. I really don't know much. I have to read more news in the future." Ding Xiang did not defend himself and honestly admitted his mistakes.
In fact, this is the case. She usually follows Yang Huan and the others and reads gossip news more...
"I heard Ziyi say that your hometown is still in the Miao village on the mountain?" Guo Zhengyan continued, "Have the transportation problem in the mountains been solved? No matter which place, if you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, the first problem to solve is transportation."
Ding Xiang can talk about this problem, after all, it was something he had experienced. Ding Xiang honestly answered: "Yes, it's because the road cannot be repaired. In our village, everyone can't sell the mountain goods. In fact, everyone's life is a bit isolated from the world. Although they have already spoken on the phone, the problem of economic sources has not been solved."
"In recent years, the country has been implementing rural road policies and has financial support..." Guo Zhengyan was about to say that there was a solution, but soon, he thought of some of the many problems in the middle and sighed softly, "However, if there are too many monks and too little porridge, it is not necessary that your hometown can apply for this approval."
"Even if you get the application, it may not be possible!" Speaking of this, Ding Xiang felt a little depressed and accidentally vented some, but soon, she realized that she could not show too much negative energy and quickly stopped the car.
But who is Guo Zhengyan? He has been working in discipline inspection for so many years before, and he should not be too accurate about Ding Xiang's little emotion. He keenly noticed that there was something wrong with it, so he frowned and asked, "Xiao Ding, why do you say that?"
Ding Xiang stammered, a little unaware of how to speak. And she was a little worried that the Guo family would know about the things in her hometown, so would she have some bad views on her hometown?
Guo Ziyan was eating while observing her expressions.
Today she wants to help Ding Xiang overcome the difficulties. Even if she doesn't have the chance to cheat Guo Ziyi, Guo Ziyan is willing to help Ding Xiang. Who made her really like Ding Xiang? What's more, the cake made by Ding Xiang is really delicious, which is a plus in Guo Ziyan's heart.
"That's right!" Guo Ziyan spoke, "The former leader in the village was very bad. He was greedy for the substitute fees for rural teachers in many places, and did not send teachers to children in the mountains. Sister Ding Xiang finally earned some money and sent it home, wanting them to hire better teachers for their children, but they also greedy for them!"
Guo Ziyan talked aloud and told Ding Xiang about it. It was too late for Ding Xiang to stop him.
"Xiao Ding's money is also greedy?" Tan Huizhen asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why did Xiao Ding send the money back?"
Ding Xiang had no choice but to briefly talk about the incident. Of course, she reduced her achievements in it, but focused on telling about the problems she encountered with Yang Huan. Yang Yi and Guo Ziyi went to Xiangxi to help them handle them properly.
"Later, Brother Yang also invited people from the Hope Primary School Project to come over to help solve the problem of difficulty in school for younger brothers and sisters in the mountains, and also hired some substitute teachers. Now the study of younger brothers and sisters is no longer a problem!" Ding Xiang said.
But Guo Ziyan was not willing to "get it off" like this. She rushed to say, "But I still think Sister Ding Xiang, you are great. You don't make much money. You save money and want to send the money back to study for those younger brothers and sisters!"
"Where is great?" Ding Xiang said embarrassedly, "I just repay my kindness. In the past, the villagers helped my grandmother and took care of me. When I grew up, I also had to do something to give back to them."
"No matter what, you must not forget your roots! You can repay kindness and help me. Xiao Ding, what you do is indeed worth learning from Zi Yan." Guo Zhengyan raised the water cup to Ding Xiang with a serious look and said, "It is worth learning from me!"
Ding Xiang was stunned and waved his hand quickly: "Uncle Guo, don't say that!"
Guo Zhengyan ignored Ding Xiang's embarrassment and turned to Tan Huizhen to say with some regret: "There are indeed not many children like Xiao Ding now. If she hadn't already had a job now, I would have wanted her to take the civil service exam after graduation, so we would take the exam for our discipline inspection department. We just need such upright, sincere, and unfaithful talents!"
Tan Huizhen said angrily: "Other children have their own ideas, so don't want to pull them to your discipline inspection front when they see one. Over the years, how many people have you cheated and how many good children have plunged into your big pit. Don't go home every day and pretend to be mysterious. Do you have no idea? Besides, the discipline inspection department is not yours anymore. You are the mayor, and you shouldn't care. Don't put too much thought to avoid others saying that you have a long hand!"
Guo Zhengyan showed a rare smile. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "That's right, I won't say it."
After chatting so much, their lunch was over. Ding Xiang saw everyone put down their chopsticks and subconsciously stood up and helped to pack up the dishes.
"Xiao Ding, you sit down, how can you do these things?" Tan Huizhen shouted quickly.
"Auntie, I'm still idle anyway, and I'll help you!"
...
At Yang Yi's house, Lan Xin finished eating the cake and had a bulging belly. She sat on the sofa and watched TV with Xixi (she watched Xixi's TV without having to hand over gold coins). After watching for a while, she saw Xixi's father holding a laptop and getting downstairs.
"Okay! The accompaniment is ready, let's learn to dance now!" Yang Yi greeted the two little girls with a smile.
"Okay!" Xixi was very interested, jumped off the sofa and ran to her father to watch.
"But the TV has not been finished..." Lan Xin looked at Xixi, watched TV again, muttered a few words, and finally she slid down from the sofa helplessly and moved over slowly.
Chapter completed!
