Li Rui smiled, ignored her, took out a bowl, and went to Shi Dayong's house.

Ling Shuyao looked back at him walking out of the yard, pursed his lips, and said to himself, "It's not promising, people have to eat some fried meat sauce, what kind of meat sauce is it?"

Li Rui came to the courtyard of Shi Dayong's house and shouted, "Brother Shi, sister-in-law, are you at home?" Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law greeted her from the hall with a smile, and said, "Tell me to call you sister, what else do you call sister-in-law to bring a bowl, give it to me, I'll serve you sauce." Li Rui asked, "Why did Brother Shi go," Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law said, "Who knows where you went, you should eat and don't go back, you know that you are crazy outside." Then he went into the house.

Li Rui was bored waiting outside, so he followed her into the kitchen.

Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law saw him follow up, her big watery eyes glanced at him for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Do you like my sister" Li Rui shuddered with fright, and said in her heart, she called herself over because she had a private thing to say, and it was about herself and Li Feiyan, and she wondered in her heart, how could she ask such a mouth, did she ask for Li Feiyan, so she said vaguely, "I like it, hehe, I like you fellow countrymen." ”

Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law thought that he didn't dare to admit it, but who knew that he directly acquiesced, although it was under the banner of a fellow countryman, she was surprised in her heart, and praised "There is responsibility, Yan'er, she has good eyesight." Li Rui's face was a little hot, and he didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "Let's serve less, I can't eat if I eat more." Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law thought for a while and said, "Don't use the bowl at all, I'll find you a canned food bottle, which can be stored for a longer time." As he spoke, he began to rummage through the cabinets to find cans and bottles.

Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law finally found a canned fruit bottle, rinsed it, filled the whole bottle with freshly fried meat sauce, screwed the lid and handed it to Li Rui, looked at him with a smile and said, "Yan'er likes you too." Don't worry, only I know about the two of you, and no one knows about you. ”

Li Rui returned to his yard depressed, heard the sound of chopping vegetables in the house, and when he entered the house, Ling Shuyao started to make lunch, so he put down the meat sauce bottle and put his hands on the side.

Who knew that Ling Shuyao was unhappy, raised the kitchen knife, and said, "Get up, you don't care about my cooking, you can do what you want, I'll rest." Li Rui smiled and said, "What are you doing, you still want to cut me" Ling Shuyao snorted and said, "I can't cut you, get up quickly, don't make trouble for me." ”

Li Ruizheng had a pair of pants from last night's horse running that hadn't been washed yet, so he went to the yard with a basin to wash it.

As soon as I was scrubbing, I suddenly heard someone shouting "Ah" at the gate of the courtyard

Li Rui looked sideways and saw Huang Cuifen, the village women's director, walking in with a surprised face.

Huang Cuifen shouted, "Ah, Director Li, how can you do the laundry yourself, you get up quickly, I'll wash it for you." Tsk, how can you men do the laundry, it's a woman's job. Let me do it. As he spoke, he ran up and snatched the basin from his hand.

Li Rui didn't pay attention, the basin and the pants in her hand had been snatched by her. Huang Cuifen didn't care what was in her hand, she squatted on the ground and rubbed it when she got it.

Li Rui said in surprise, "Director Huang, you are," Huang Cuifen laughed, "I, I'm here to ask you to go to the house for dinner." How about it, if you are free today" Li Rui said, "No need, today at home" Huang Cuifen rushed to say, "You didn't eat at my house last time, and you have to go over to eat anything today." Isn't it just this one garment, I'll wash it for you right away, and we'll get over it. Li Rui said, "No need, I'll wash it myself, and I won't go to your house to eat."

While the two were talking, Ling Shuyao in the house heard the movement and walked to the door and looked into the courtyard.

Huang Cuifen noticed that there was someone at the door of the house, thinking that Li Feiyan was cooking for him at his house, but she didn't look at it directly, and snorted coldly, "Look at it, you little hen who doesn't lay eggs." Ling Shuyao was shocked and ashamed, immediately angry, and said with a cold face, "Who are you scolding?" Huang Cuifen heard that the voice was wrong, looked sideways, and saw the female leader standing at the door of the house who came down from the city, and where was Li Feiyan's shadow, she was only startled, and hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile on her face, "Director Ling Ling, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you, I didn't mean you." Ling Shuyao was unforgiving, and snorted coldly, "It's not that I'm going to say it, who are you talking to" Glaring at Li Rui fiercely as he spoke, he said that he must have told this village woman that he didn't have children, but he didn't want to give birth, but he didn't want to give birth, and after thinking about it, it was not right, he didn't tell Li Rui about his family situation, he had no reason to know

Huang Cuifen sneered and said, "I, I was going to say it to Li Feiyan, but she didn't come today." ”

Li Rui heard that his head was as big as a fight, and he glared at Huang Cuifen fiercely, and said in his heart that if this girl didn't do good things all day long, she would make trouble for others, if Ling Shuyao knew that Li Feiyan came over to serve her every day, she would not have to ridicule herself

Ling Shuyao didn't care who Li Feiyan was, and only said, "Next time you scold someone, bring your eyes and scold again, don't make yourself shameless." After speaking, he turned around and went back to the house with a calm face.

Huang Cuifen was so embarrassed by her words that she couldn't get off the stage, but she also knew that she couldn't mess with others, so she could only swallow her anger.

Li Rui listened to Ling Shuyao's words, and was very relieved, seeing Huang Cuifen's embarrassed face, he secretly laughed, and sighed, "It's not me saying you, you are also a village cadre, pay attention to civility when you speak, don't scold people everywhere." I won't eat your family's food, you can go. Huang Cuifen pleaded, "Then what is the baggage director, you must give me this face, otherwise you will look down on me." Li Ruixin said, I just look down on you, after thinking about it, he pulled Ling Shuyao out as a shield, and said, "Ling has already made me a share, I want to eat at home." You go back. ”

If Li Rui was alone at home, Huang Cuifen would dare to pull with him cheekily, but now that Ling Shuyao is watching in the house, she doesn't have the guts, she can't use force, and people don't eat soft, so she has no choice but to leave stupidly.

Li Rui returned to the house, Ling Shuyao asked head-on, "Who is that Li Feiyan she said just now, what is she doing here" Li Rui knew that she didn't ask just now and asked, she thought she had escaped a difficulty, but in fact she couldn't get lucky, she organized the language in her mind, and said, "Oh, Li Feiyan is Zhang Liwen's wife in the south of the village, I am helping Zhang Liwen find a way to get rid of poverty and become rich, he is very grateful to me, so he asked his wife to come over to help me wash clothes and cook." Of course, I couldn't accept it, so I let her go back. Ling Shuyao sneered, "You are so blessed." Dare to love me if I am not here for two days, there is someone to serve you. Li Rui said, "What's the matter, I didn't accept it at all." Ling Shuyao said, "You are so stupid, people take the initiative to serve you, what you can't accept, you are not in vain, after all, you have helped others to alleviate poverty." ”

Li Rui was a little surprised, and asked, "Are you serious, or tease me," Ling Shuyao said, "I'm serious." It just so happens that I'm enjoying the happiness too, hehe. Li Ruiyi said rhetorically: "Then how can we do it, as cadres of poverty alleviation and rural areas, it is our own job to help poor households get rid of poverty and become rich, how can we accept the return of others because of this, it is not okay to become an official who is powerful and prosperous, and we must not do that." Ling Shuyao pouted and said, "Cut, you look shrewd, and sometimes you can be stupid." From ancient times to the present, the common people have never disliked the official master as a prestige, as long as the official master can make decisions for them and help them do practical things. You don't even understand this."

Li Rui nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but why is this" Ling Shuyao said while stir-frying, "Why is it very simple, because our China is an official-based society, from ancient times to the present, in any dynasty, the official lord is a high-ranking existence, and the kind and weak people can't afford to provoke it at all." Since he can't afford to provoke him, how dare he dislike the style of the officials and masters, so he can only endure it. In this case, if any official still thinks about the people when he eats and drinks nonsense, it will already be a great happiness for the people. You can say that the common people are easy to be content, and the officials and gentlemen treat them well, and they will be grateful. You can also say that the common people are too stupid and only focus on their own vested interests, and as for how the officials above their heads act as powerful and prosperous, they are selectively blind. But I feel that the common people are too cheap, and their servility has been rooted in their bones, and they don't know the concept of equality, justice and freedom at all, and they are willing to be bullied by the officials and lords on their necks. ”

Li Rui thought so, nodded, and said, "The last sentence should be said carefully" Ling Shuyao continued, "There is a word called shepherd's guard, which is taken from the meaning of the state official as the shepherd and the county official as the guard, which is the meaning of guarding and governing the people." It is interesting why the governor named this pastor. To put it simply, the emperor does not treat the common people as people, but as cattle and sheep and livestock, and sends a minister to appoint him as a state pastor, in fact, he is to let him go to the local area to herd cattle and sheep. How to herd sheep with a whip Do you dare to resist Don't you dare to resist, in fact, the sheep herder whips them with a whip and drives them to the grass, and they are completely satisfied if they can eat a mouthful of grass. As long as it can eat grass and fill its stomach, no matter how hard the sheep herder smokes, it will not remember, and will be grateful. There is an ancient saying that Qin loses its deer, and the world chases it, and there is an idiom called chasing the deer in the Central Plains, which compares the common people to deer, which is actually the same truth. ”
