At noon, Tan Huizhen, as she said before, left Ding Xiang to come down and have lunch at home. However, Ding Xiang had no way to show his cooking skills, because the Guo family also hired a nanny.
Accurately speaking, it is a part-time worker. Tan Huizhen invited her from her hometown, a knowledgeable aunt who would 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 ate this meal with trepidation, because Guo Zhengyan also came back for lunch, and Mayor Guo also worked on weekends, but he was a little more leisurely than usual. On Sunday, he was busy with some official business in the morning. For emergencies, he would arrange an afternoon off to read books or something.
Guo Zhengyan is much more majestic than Tan Huizhen. Sitting across from him, Ding Xiang felt as if he was being stared at by a tiger.
On the other hand, Tan Huizhen saw that Ding Xiang only knew how to cook rice, and she also greeted Ding Xiang to eat more vegetables: “Don’t worry about losing weight! I know you young people are all thinking about losing weight and looking good, but all of them are yellow-faced and thin, like What? Eat more meat, eat more vegetables.”
Guo Ziyan also took care of Ding Xiang, she saw Ding Xiang’s nervousness, and 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 changed Are you fat?”
Guo Zhengyan also saw Ding Xiang’s nervousness. He thought it was his habitually stern face that scared the guests, so he picked up a tissue on the table, wiped his mouth, and talked to Ding Xiang: “Little Ding, are you from Xiangxi? Where is Xiangxi?”
Ding Xiang hurriedly straightened his waist and sat upright and answered, “Uncle Guo, I am from Yanye County, Maota City, Western Hunan.”
“Maota City…” Guo Zhengyan thought about it carefully, nodded lightly, and said, “I have a little impression, almost ten years ago, something happened there, and the state’s poverty alleviation funds were misappropriated, At that time, the ministry sent a group of people to investigate. I didn’t go, but I heard that there was a lot of trouble, and some of your leaders in Xiangxi were kicked down.”
Ding Xiang opened her mouth but didn’t make a sound. She didn’t know how to answer this topic.
Ten years ago, she was still reading ignorantly on the mountain. She didn’t know that the world was so big and so exciting. How would she know about those officials and gentlemen?
“Don’t talk about work as soon as you go home!” Tan Huizhen said a fair word for Ding Xiang, “How would these children know what you said?”
However, Guo Zhengyan did not agree with Tan Huizhen’s statement, and said very seriously: “Young people, you can’t always focus on the entertainment industry, but also learn more about family affairs, state affairs and world affairs!”
“Uncle Guo is right. I really don’t know much about it. I will read more news in the future.” Ding Xiang did not defend himself, but honestly admitted his mistake.
As a matter of fact, it is the same. She usually follows Yang Huan and the others, and watches gossip news to see more…
“I heard Ziyi said that your hometown is still in the Miao village on the mountain?” Guo Zhengyan then asked, “Has the traffic problem in the mountain been solved? No matter where it is, if you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, you must first The problem to solve is transportation.”
Ding Xiang can talk a little bit about this question. After all, it is something he has experienced. I saw Ding Xiang answer honestly: “Yes, it is because the road has been unable to be repaired, and in our stockade, everyone is exposed to the sun. They can’t even sell it. In fact, everyone’s life is a bit isolated from the world. Although they have been on the phone now, they still haven’t solved the problem of financial resources.”
“In recent years, the country has been implementing a rural road policy, and there is financial support…” Guo Zhengyan just wanted to say that there is a solution, but soon, he also thought of some problems in the middle, and sighed softly. , “However, with more monks and less porridge, it may not be possible for your hometown to apply for this grant.”
“Even if the application is received, it may not be implemented!” Speaking of this, Ding Xiang felt a little depressed in her heart, and she accidentally vented some of it, but soon, she also realized that she could not show too much negative Energy, quickly brake the car.
But who is Guo Zhengyan? He had done so many age checks in the past, and he should not be too precise about Ding Xiang’s small emotions. He keenly noticed that there was a problem, so he frowned and asked, “Xiao Ding, why do you say that?”
Ding Xiang hesitated, not knowing how to speak. And she was a little worried that if the Guo family knew about those things in her hometown, would she have some bad views about her hometown?
Guo Ziyan was watching while eating.
She wants to help Ding Xiang tide over the difficulties today. Even if there is no chance to get Guo Ziyi some things, Guo Ziyan is willing to help Ding Xiang. Who made her really like Ding Xiang? What’s more, Ding Xiang’s cakes are really delicious, which is a plus in Guo Ziyan’s heart.
“That’s it!” Guo Ziyan said, “Sister Ding Xiang and her family, the former leader in the village was very bad, greedy for the substitute fees of many rural teachers in many places, and did not send teachers to the children in the mountains. Sister Ding Xiang I finally earned some money and sent it home, trying to get them to hire a better teacher for my children, but they were greedy too!”
As soon as Guo Ziyan chatted on the phone, she told Ding Xiang’s story, and Ding Xiang didn’t have time to stop it.
“Xiao Ding’s money was also stolen?” Tan Huizhen asked in surprise, “What’s going on? Why did Xiao Ding send the money back?”
Ding Xiang was helpless, so she had to briefly talk about what happened. Of course, she reduced the story of her own achievements in it, but focused on telling about the problems she and Yang Huan encountered, Yang Yi and Guo Ziyi went to Xiangxi to help them handled properly.
“Later, Big Brother Yang also invited people from Hope Primary School Project to help solve the problem that the younger brothers and sisters in the mountains had difficulty going to school, and also hired some substitute teachers. Now the younger brothers and sisters’ learning is no longer a problem!” Ding Xiang said.
But where is Guo Ziyan willing to “let it go”, she rushes to say: “But I still think that you are great, Sister Ding Xiang, you don’t earn much money, you save money, and you want to send the money back to those younger brothers. My sister is reading!”
“How can there be greatness?” Ding Xiang said embarrassedly, “I just repay my gratitude. In the past, the villagers helped my grandma and took care of me when I grew up. When I grow up, I will also do something to give back to them.”
“No matter what, you must not forget your roots in being a human being! Repay your gratitude and help, Xiao Ding, what you have done is indeed worth learning from Ziyan.” Guo Zhengyan raised his water glass to Ding Xiang and said, “Also Worth my study!”
Ding Xiang was stupid and waved his hand quickly: “Uncle Guo, don’t say that!”
Guo Zhengyan ignored Ding Xiang’s embarrassment, turned to Tan Huizhen and said regretfully: “There are really not many children like Xiao Ding now. If she hadn’t already had a job, I would have her go there after graduation. If you are a civil servant, you will be tested in our discipline inspection department, and we need such upright, sincere, and unprofitable talents!”
Tan Huizhen said angrily: “People’s children have their own ideas, you don’t want to see one and want to pull you on the front line of discipline inspection. Over the years, how many people have you cheated and how many good children have plunged into yours? In the big pit, you don’t go home every day, pretending to be mysterious, don’t you have any idea? Besides, the discipline inspection department is not yours anymore, you are the mayor, it’s not your responsibility, don’t worry too much, save others Say your hands are long!”
Guo Zhengyan rarely showed a smile, he shook his head slightly and said with a smile: “That’s true, I won’t say it~IndoMTL.com~ After chatting so much, their lunch was finished, Ding Xiang saw everyone put down their chopsticks. , stood up subconsciously and helped to clean up the tableware.
“Xiao Ding, sit down, how can you do these things?” Tan Huizhen hurriedly shouted.
“Auntie, I’m free anyway, and let me help!”
…
Here at Yang Yi’s house, Lan Xin finished eating the cake with a bulging belly, and sat on the sofa with Xixi watching TV (she watched Xixi’s TV, no need to pay gold coins), and watched it for a while before watching it. To Xixi’s father holding a laptop, came 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’s side to watch.
“But I haven’t finished watching the TV yet…” Lan Xin looked at Xixi, watched TV again, muttered a few words, and finally slipped off the sofa helplessly and moved over slowly.
