Until he walked into Wang Tiekui's house, Li Rui hadn't seen any restaurants or shops in the village, and naturally he didn't even think about the hair salon and bathing center, and he was in a trance, could it be that he had traveled back to thirty years ago and there was nothing in the village

The sky has been dark, Wang Tiekui's wife is cooking porridge in front of the earthen stove in the yard, burning branches and weeds, cooking cornmeal porridge, wafting in the yard with smoke from the burning of branches, the smoke is filled, adding a bit of mystery to the darkening night.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a little Shiba dog jumped out, ran to Li Rui and circled around him, sniffing and sniffing, looking very affectionate. Li Rui couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that he was only welcomed by this little dog in this little Dragon King Village.

Wang Tiekui wanted to invite Li Rui in to drink water, but Li Rui waved his hand and refused, saying, "Wang Zhishu, I won't delay your meal." I just want to ask, where do we stay at night, and what should we do if we have dinner at night" Wang Tiekui said strangely, "Ah, don't you go back to the county" Li Rui smiled and said, "We are here to stay in the village, and if we don't go back to the county, even if we go back, we will go back to the city directly." Wang Tiekui asked, "Then you go back to the township," Li Rui smiled bitterly, "Don't go back, just live in our Xiaolongwang Village, why don't you have to live for a month." ”

Wang Tiekui said in surprise, "Isn't there an arrangement in the county?" Li Rui shook his head and said, "It is estimated that County Magistrate Gu thinks that the village will arrange it." Wang Tiekui frowned and scratched his scalp, and dandruff the size of snow chips fell from his hair. Li Rui saw it in his eyes, hurriedly turned his head away, and said in his heart that there was no need to eat tonight.

Wang Tiekui said, "If you live, there are two marching single beds in the village committee, which are prepared for the people on duty, but you are all city leaders, and there are six people, I'm afraid it will not be easy to live" Li Rui said busily, "As long as there is a place to sleep, we don't have high requirements." Wang Tiekui said: "Then live in those two marching beds first." You and Ling are at the highest level, so let's stay with the two of you first. Director Ai, the four of them, I'll think of a way again. As for eating, alas, there is a breakfast stall next to the village Dongtou Primary School, but it is not open at night, it really can't be done, you call Ling Chu over, and make do with a meal at my house. ”

Although Li Rui had been mentally prepared enough, he still didn't expect that there was not even a decent restaurant in the village, so he sighed secretly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's no problem for us to come over for a meal, but it's not good to come and eat all the time, then I can't eat you poor."

Wang Tiekui's wife is a cheerful woman, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of eating, no matter how poor I am, I can't be poor." ”

Wang Tiekui said, "If you think it's inconvenient, then just start the fire and cook by yourself." There are small shops in the village, where you can buy meat, vegetables, and fish. Li Rui asked, "Then where to do it, it's in the village committee, then it's not like talking," Wang Tiekui frowned and said, "Let's make do tonight." Tomorrow, I'll find a way to find you a yard to live in. When you have a place to live, it will be convenient to turn on the fire and cook. Li Rui said happily: "Then it will trouble the Wang branch secretary." Wang Tiekui said, "No trouble, no trouble, hehe, you came from the city to suffer for the sake of poverty alleviation in our village, and our village should help." ”

Li Rui asked him about the location of the shop, said goodbye and left, walked for a while, walked to the shop, bought two buckets of instant noodles from it, and bought two breads and two sausages, and then turned back to the village committee.

Ling Shuyao was still the only one in the village committee, and it was already completely dark at this time.

Although he already hated this woman very much, Li Rui patiently explained the situation to her, and finally handed her instant noodles, bread and sausages, and said, "There's no way, I can only make do with it tonight." After speaking, pay attention to her expression to see if she is willing. Ling Shuyao took these three things into her hand, and said lightly, "You don't have to look at me like this, I will have it, I haven't eaten these before." Li Rui said, "Then let's eat." ”

The two returned to the house, and Li Rui found two warm pots. It's really good, the kettle is full, and the heat is steaming out as soon as the lid is opened, and it looks like it has just boiled in the afternoon.

Li Rui thought while preparing dinner, if only there was a mobile restaurant dedicated to serving him and Ling Shuyao's daily meals, the two of them would be able to devote themselves to poverty alleviation work, unlike now, where they had to worry about eating all the time.

There was no table in the house, and after the two of them soaked the instant noodles, they could only sit on a chair with a bucket in their hands and eat it.

Li Rui couldn't see the appearance of his own eating, but he could see Ling Shuyao's, and after seeing her clearly, he naturally knew his appearance, and his heart was extremely desolate, if he wasn't still Song Chaoyang's secretary, he really felt that he was assigned, and since then he has fallen from the sky to the ground, and his tragic situation far exceeds the dilemma in the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau that day, and he secretly swore that "no matter what, you can only climb up, continue to climb, climb as high as you can, and never fall down." Once you fall off the horse, what awaits you may be the situation in front of you. ”

After eating, you can save washing the dishes and chopsticks, and just throw the garbage on the garbage truck in the yard. Next, there was no entertainment in the village, and the two of them sat in the house in a daze.

Li Rui thought about the work to be carried out tomorrow, and wanted to discuss it with Ling Shuyao, but who knew that she walked out with toilet paper in her hand at this time, so she kindly reminded, "You want to go to the toilet, right" Ling Shuyao said coldly, "You have to take care of this" Li Rui was angry from his heart, and said, "I don't care what you do when you go to the toilet, I just remind you, be careful of the dark road, don't stumble and bump." Ling Shuyao said, "No need, how old am I, I still need you to remind me" After speaking, he walked out with a little butt that was not plump.

Li Rui gritted his teeth with hatred, and after she walked away, he raised his hand to give himself a mouth, and scolded, "Make your mouth cheap"

After self-discipline, he took out his toothbrush from his bag and went to the water press in the yard to brush his teeth. There is no running water in the village, so if the villagers want to drink water, they draw it from the groundwater more than ten meters deep under their yards. In the past, it was an old-fashioned water press, which used manpower to press water, but now, with the popularization of electrification, the old-fashioned water press has been abandoned and replaced with an electric water pump. With the flick of a switch, a steady stream of clear groundwater gushes out of the thick rubber pipes.

The water press in the yard of the village committee has long been abandoned, but the outlet pipe of the electric water pump is still set here, next to the water pipe is a huge water tank, more than half a person high, which is filled with water released in advance, and there is an aluminum cylinder head on the water tank, and a water scoop made of a gourd is buckled upside down on the lid all the year round.

Li Rui walked to the side of the water tank, picked up the water scoop, lifted the lid, scooped half a scoop of water from it, carefully poured it into the tooth jar, and then went to the wall with the tooth jar to brush his teeth.

"Ah" A miserable scream suddenly came from the corner of the wall, scared Li Rui into a clever way, a lot of water in the tooth jar spilled out, followed the reputation, saw that the sound was made by the thatched house in the southwest corner, carefully identified the sound, it seemed to be sent by Ling Shuyao, his heart moved, knowing that it was not good for her to call her when she went to the toilet, but he still wanted to ask her what happened, and hurriedly said, "Ling, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Ling Shuyao had already run out of the thatched house, screaming miserably.

Li Rui easily spotted her running figure, through the light of the courtyard lamp at the door of the house, saw her with her pants in her hands, rushing out like a fish caught in a net, seeing the loose appearance of her belt and pants, she was not even fastened, and she was shocked in the bottom of her heart, what happened to make such a cold and elegant lady so disregarded Sven

"Ling, what's wrong with you," Li Rui asked in confusion.

Ling Shuyao saw him as if he had seen a savior, and ran straight towards him, screaming miserably and in horror, "I was bitten by something I don't know, it hurts to death, ouch, it hurts to death" After speaking, his body shook straight, and he seemed to be unable to stand steadily. Li Rui didn't care about brushing his teeth, he drank saliva and rinsed his mouth, put all the toothbrushes on the lid of the water tank, turned to face her and said, "Where are you?" Ling Shuyao didn't dare to speak. Li Rui's eyes swept over her waist, and saw that her pants were open, revealing a light-colored pair of pants inside, and his heart jumped with fright, how dare he look around, and raised his head and asked, "Tell me quickly, where is the bite a mosquito?"

Ling Shuyao shook her head painfully and said, "How can it be that mosquitoes itch when they bite, but this hurts me to death, I don't know how to describe it, it hurts more than a wasp sting, I can't do it, I'm about to lose my footing." As he spoke, his body began to shake. Li Rui hurriedly went up to support her, and said, "Does it hurt a lot, I'll help you go to the marching bed first, lie down, and then go to the doctor." Ling Shuyao snorted twice, and limped into the house with his help.

Li Rui helped her to one of the marching beds, planning to let her sit on it first, and then lie down slowly, who knew if she would sit or not. Ling Shuyao's facial features were distorted in pain, and she said, "I can't sit, it's mine that bites, my buttocks." As he spoke, he shivered. Li Rui was greatly surprised, seeing that her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and shouted, "You won't let the snake bite, right" Ling Shuyao shouted in fright, "Ah, let the snake bite it must be poisonous, am I going to die" Li Rui thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, there are almost no poisonous snakes in our north, and as long as you don't touch it, it will definitely not bite, is it a scorpion, I know, there are many scorpions in the mountains." You've been stung by a scorpion."
