Fortunately, he had done some homework, just in case. He probably studied the map of the mountainous area near Beixi Town, so he vaguely remembered the approximate scope of the mountain village, so he gathered his energy and took her in the direction of the mountain village.
And go.
Finally, the two of them were lucky enough to find Dagou Village, a natural village located in a mountain stream, before the sun went down. Otherwise, they would have had to go camping, which would have been miserable.
The people in the village looked at the two uninvited guests with great curiosity, but did not dare to come forward to talk. Liu Siyuan was so tired that he was out of breath and had no extra energy to chat with them, so he directly grabbed an old man and asked
Where does the village branch secretary Lao Litou live?
Seeing that he could tell the name Lao Litou, the old man relaxed his vigilance and led the two of them enthusiastically to the village branch secretary's house.
Under the leadership of the old man, Liu Siyuan knocked on Lao Li Tou's door.
Lao Litou's full name is Li Zhaocai, which is very festive. However, he is obviously very prestigious in Dagouzi Village. The old man leading the way knocked on the door and heard him yelling angrily: "Who is it? Knocking on the door for nothing."
The old man said honestly: "Secretary Li, there are two people from the city looking for you."
Li Zhaocai muttered in a fierce manner why city people would come here at such a time. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes suddenly went straight, and then an unusually bright smile appeared on his face, and he loudly said: "Oh, what's wrong with this today?"
Secretary Liu has been called. Why didn’t you inform me, Old Li, in advance when you came to Dagou Village? Oh, I understand that the leader is paying a private visit incognito. Hey, I said, Old Zhao, call everyone in the village quickly.
Secretary Liu, the secretary of the town committee, wants to speak to the villagers..."
Liu Siyuan was so tired that he couldn't speak. He quickly grabbed him, but unfortunately it was a little late. Li Zhaocai's voice was very loud. Soon, all the villagers at home rushed to the door of Li Zhaocai's house, which made someone really nervous.
It's hard to get off the tiger, so I can only pretend to say a few words.
Fortunately, he has spoken a lot in official terms over the years, and now he also talks about it casually. For example, at the beginning, I came to visit the villagers on behalf of the town party committee and the town government. How have you been doing recently? In the middle, he affirmed the work of the village branch.
I would like to praise the villagers again. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to mention them. Finally, I believe that our Dagou Village will have a better tomorrow.
Then, under the leadership of Li Zhaocai, everyone applauded loudly. Liu Siyuan wiped his sweat and took a peek at Xiao Yuhan, who had been hiding aside to watch the show, but saw that she seemed to be unable to help but smile.
This is the first time Liu Siyuan has seen her smile. Don't tell me, Xiao Yuhan's smile is particularly beautiful...
Later, Liu Siyuan told Li Zhaocai that it was too late today to go back to the town. He asked Secretary Li to arrange a place to stay and settle down.
Li Zhaocai said without hesitation, "How about using Secretary Liu's instructions? I have already made arrangements and they will stay at my house."
Liu Siyuan took a look and realized that his family had the best conditions in the entire village, so he agreed.
It happened that the family was about to finish their meal, so they added two pairs of chopsticks, and the two of them had dinner at Li Zhaocai's house. Liu Siyuan was a little worried about Miss Xiao and glanced at her, only to see that she was silently holding a piece of white paper between her hands.
I gnawed on the steamed buns and felt relieved.
Liu Siyuan suddenly remembered that he had not seen Li Zhaocai's teenage grandson, so he casually asked: "Secretary Li, where is your grandson?"
Li Zhaocai chuckled and said, "My grandson is studying in the town."
Xiao Yuhan couldn't help but curiously interjected and asked: "Where are the children studying? Are they not going home so late?" At this time, he looked a bit like a reporter.
Li Zhaocai sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Secretary Liu should know that our baby is studying in a primary school in the town. It takes three hours to walk from our mountain village on the mountain road. It is really not possible to go back and forth every day, so we can only rent a house in the town."
, let him stay there."
Xiao Yuhan asked again: "A primary school student lives alone outside? Then you can rest assured?"
Li Zhaocai asked with a strange look on his face: "What are you worried about? Anyway, living with a few other children in the village can save some money on rent. We can also have dinner together and take care of each other."
Seeing that Xiao Yuhan still looked unbelievable, Liu Siyuan also explained for him: "There has never been a road in the village, and the transportation is very inconvenient. If the children want to study, they can only rent a house in the town, and usually come back once on the weekend."
Xiao Yuhan said "oh" and thought for a while before saying: "Then why don't your town hurry up and build a road to the town? Then the town can arrange a school bus."
Liu Siyuan was dumbfounded by her question. Fortunately, Li Zhaocai knew how to stand in his way: "What this girl said is too one-sided, and it's not easy for Secretary Liu. From the perspective of our village, of course we hope to build a cement road as soon as possible, but
With such little income every year, how can the town have any spare money to build roads? What’s more, we are surrounded by mountains, and the cost of building roads is too high. We also understand the town’s difficulties... But Secretary Liu, the rent in the town has increased so much in the past two years.
It’s too cruel. Many families in the village can hardly afford to rent a house for their children to study. It’s not an option to continue like this.”
Liu Siyuan could only express his position quickly, and he would definitely ask about this matter when he got back. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yuhan glance at him with disdain, obviously mocking his bureaucracy.
Li Zhaocai never asked about Xiao Yuhan's relationship with him from beginning to end. It can be seen that he is also an old man and knows how to deal with the world. He just took advantage of Xiao Yuhan's departure and quietly asked Liu Siyuan whether to arrange one room or two rooms for the night. Liu Siyuan quickly said
Of course there are two rooms. He then explained that this girl was a reporter from the central government who came for an unannounced visit. Li Zhaocai was so frightened that he quickly asked him if there was anything wrong with his performance just now. Liu Siyuan smiled and comforted him and said that Secretary Li was sensible, principled and performed very well.
.
In the evening, Li Zhaocai arranged a room for the two of them. Fortunately, the house he built himself had three floors and there were many empty rooms. However, Liu Siyuan was secretly thinking about the sanitary conditions in the village, and did not know that Xiao, who claimed to be able to endure hardships,
What will happen to the eldest lady?
He had been tortured for a whole day and was really too tired to bear it. He didn't care about Xiao Yuhan and almost fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. Unfortunately, Miss Xiao didn't let him go. Within an hour, there was a knock on the door.
After waking up, he opened the door depressingly and found Xiao Yuhan standing there with a cold face. He lamented in his heart why the young lady didn't let him go so late.
Xiao Yuhan looked at him with sleepy eyes and disheveled clothes. She blushed rarely and said in a very soft voice: "Come out with me."
Liu Siyuan didn't react at all and said casually: "Get out? Why are you going out when you can't see your fingers outside?"
Xiao Yuhan's face turned red and she just refused to answer his question. Fortunately, he finally regained consciousness and vaguely guessed something and asked, "Are you going to the latrine?"
Sure enough, she nodded, and then whispered: "You also said that I can't see my fingers outside, but I am a bit..."
Liu Siyuan had no choice but to put on his clothes, return to the room and get a flashlight, and then took her to the hut outside the house. The sanitary conditions in rural areas were indeed incomparable with those in the city. The huts were all outdoors, just set up a shed, far away.
Just a strange smell.
Xiao Yuhan frowned and looked at the dirty latrine and smelled the smell. He hesitated for a long time. Finally, due to physical needs, he had no choice but to let Liu Siyuan stand ten meters away and watch him turn his back.
, and then began to excrete.
It's a pity that she forgot to ask someone to cover her ears. As a result, Liu Siyuan knew just by hearing that the eldest lady had diarrhea. It was probably because the daily food was too expensive and it was rare to eat village food. His spoiled stomach couldn't bear it.
.
Xiao Yuhan may have been severely affected by the "harsh environment" and was weak due to diarrhea. Her thoughts were not very clear at the time, and she was not aware of the problem until Liu Siyuan sent her back to her room and asked her, "Is there something easy in my room?"
Only when she asked whether you wanted it or not did she realize the seriousness of the problem...
