"In the first month when I became the deputy mayor and in charge of science, education, culture and health in Heishan Town, I encountered something that I would never forget for my life. The principal of Daliu Shu Primary School, who was born and raised in this mountain and the most beloved teacher in the eyes of his fellow villagers, fell in front of me in the lecture hall.

Do you know? Principal Gu is only 38 years old, and he is in the golden age of his life. Logically speaking, such people have absolutely no health problems. But just for the children in Heishan Town, he gave up the opportunity to stay in the county town and came back here without hesitation. He taught for twenty years. Do you know why he fainted in the lecture hall?"

Su Mu asked and answered questions and was not ready to give Ye Xi any chance to answer the conversation. In the rising smoke, he continued: "Because Teacher Gu's body collapsed! He only had a pitiful salary every month. After paying it, he was reluctant to spend it. Except for leaving a part, he took out all the rest to buy books, pens and books. As long as he had time, he would go up the mountain to pick mountain goods and take it to the town to sell it for money and then buy books.

He had fallen from the mountain, and one of his right leg broke at that time. However, he gritted his teeth and just treated it casually in the town health center, and then returned to school to attend classes. He was not in good health, had poor food, and lived in wet and darkness. Finally, on the day I came to school, on the day when he taught for twenty years, Teacher Gu fell down.”

"Falled?" Ye Xi said in shock.

"Yes, I just fell down!" Su Mu's eyes were deep. Now he was not like a college student who had just graduated for one year. The aura emitted from his body was so deep, so mature, and so lethal.

"I personally sent Teacher Gu to the hospital. When I got there, I found that he was terminally ill. I was still able to teach these days, all with perseverance. When the villagers of Heishan Town learned about Teacher Gu's illness, every household did not care about how poor they were. You donated a penny of my penny, and some people even knelt in front of the doctor, crying and begging them to cure Teacher Gu.

It is hard for you to imagine that these simple villagers line up outside the ward every day, waiting for the hospital to draw blood. They can draw as much as they want, and no one says a word. Many of these villagers are also taught by Teacher Gu, and they really want to make Teacher Gu get better."

When she said this, Ye Xi's face was covered with tears. After taking the handkerchief handed over by Su Mu, she choked and said, "Then what later?"

"Later?" Su Mu smiled bitterly, "Later, the god who was raised by this bitch failed to keep Teacher Gu's life, and he finally went. When he closed his eyes, I stayed by his side. He struggled to beg me. If possible, he must let these children in Heishan Town study and not let anyone drop out of school."

Su Mu threw down the cigarette butt, his eyes were a little wet, but he smiled bitterly and lit another cigarette. While using the rising smoke to cover up this emotion, a smile appeared on his face.

"Ye Xi, I don't want to be a saint. I am an official just to gain greater authority and do practical things for these children so that they can sit in a spacious and bright classroom, read the books I like to read, and do what I like to do. For this, no matter how dangerous or difficult the road ahead is, I will move forward without hesitation.

Maybe you, like most people, don’t believe what I said, but I didn’t even think about making you believe it. I promised Teacher Gu to continue his dream. I did this just to seek peace of mind.”

"No, I believe in you!" Ye Xi blurted out, his face full of anxiety, staring at Su Mu's eyes, Ye Xi let his tears fall and said loudly: "Although I have never experienced what you said, I believe in you."

Just believe it!

There is no other complicated reason!

As long as you say, I will believe it unconditionally!

"Okay, Ye Xi, stop crying, see if you see, those children are all looking at us. Don't let them think I'm bullying you!" Su Mu's mood gradually calmed down and said with a smile.

"Bully me! If you dare to bully me, I will never end up with you!" Ye Xi burst into tears and laughed. Su Mu was stunned when he looked like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Silly!" Ye Xi thought happily in his heart, but he said something against his will. "By the way, Su Mu, I really wanted to hear you mention it when I was having dinner yesterday, saying that Xingtang County Education Bureau wants you to renovate the dilapidated primary school house in Heishan Town. Isn't it just here?"

"Yes!" Su Mu couldn't help but feel a little angry when talking about this. "Ye Xi, I originally thought about keeping you here for a few more days, but this matter is very urgent. If you can, we will return to town tonight and you will drive back to Shengjing tomorrow. You will take away three of the four antiques and auction them all for me."

"What? Are you going to use this money to renovate the school?" Ye Xi said in surprise: "This is the business of your Xingtang County. Does the county finance not allocate funds? What does your Heishan Town finance do for food? If all primary schools like Daliu Shu are converted into new bungalows, it won't cost much. Sixty thousand is enough. Can't the dignified county and town governments even take out 60,000 yuan, and they still want you to sell antiques to do this?"

Ye Xi, who grew up in a family of officials, knew these basic rules even though he had not been involved in the system. It was because he knew that he was very puzzled.

"This..." Su Mu smiled helplessly.

"Is it because of that county party secretary?" Ye Xi turned his eyes and guessed that Ye Xi's head was definitely smart when he could become a master's student in economics at Jiangda University. She was not a vase, but a woman with real connotation.

Ye Xi knew that he had guessed well when he looked at Su Mu's expression. He suddenly became angry, "What's this? Is it avenge? Is he still worthy of being the county party secretary? No, I have to call Uncle Li."

"Wait!" Su Mu hurriedly said, grabbing Ye Xi's hands and said seriously: "Ye Xi, promise me that you don't care about this matter and leave it to me to handle it with full authority. I can solve it."

Bang bang!

When Su Mu held his hands tightly, Ye Xi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his face blushed and said in a low voice: "Whatever you say is, but if Su Mu really has something to do, remember to call Mayor Li Xinghua and he will help you."

"I understand!" Su Mu smiled.

"Can you let go of my hand?" Ye Xi whispered.

"Ah...hehe!" Su Mu hurriedly let go of his hand, and the two sat down and said a few casually. After the children there divided the books and returned to the classroom to start class, Su Mu greeted Gu Dingxiang and then drove away from Daliu Shu Village in a Hummer.

When the two returned to Heishan Town, it was not too late, and it was almost noon, so they ate some casually from Wang Laosan. Because they were thinking about this, Ye Xi took three antiques and left without even staying for a night.

Before leaving, Ye Xi said to Su Mu: "It's not impossible to use your own money to work in the office, but doing that will really violate the rules of the officialdom. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will sell the antiques as the first pot of gold for the start of our careers. And I will help people donate the funds for the renovation of dilapidated houses in the school. You can wait for me for five days, and you will definitely give you an answer within five days."

Su Mu knew that Ye Xi would never talk big. She said that five days would definitely be five days. She smiled and sent her away without worrying about the funding of the renovation of dilapidated houses in primary schools. He began to contact the construction team. He started working on it first, and once the funds were in place, construction would be started immediately.

In this case, one month is more than enough!

Town mayor's office.

"Mayor, Su Mu, after he went to Daliushu Village Primary School with that woman to deliver books, he has been looking for a construction team these days. Look at him like that, he seems to be really rich and can start construction at any time." Yang Hu said.

"Is that true?" Yang Song narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "I want to see where he made money from. Don't think that people can spend money here with a good car. You must know that no one is that stupid."

"But, what if the mayor is true? Su Mu has money, it's okay to build a few houses. This is a piece of fat, so you can't just let it go." Yang Hu hesitated.

Yes, what if it is true? Don’t let Su Mu be beaten up by then and give him a political achievement for nothing, otherwise you will be embarrassed. The most important thing is that you can’t get a job with Secretary Xie. No, you must think of a complete solution.

"Mayor, there is something else I need to report to you." Yang Hu knew that his words were effective when he looked at Yang Song's expression, so he stopped talking.

"What's the matter?" Yang Song said calmly.

"It's Xu Yan, the new deputy director of our police station. You said that the size of a palm here is not very good. With me, the deputy director Zhang Weiguo and four policemen, it's so great that he is so arrogant. Why does such a guy appear again? And Xu Yan has been close to Su Mu these days, so he went to the village and contacted the construction team. He was everywhere." Yang Hu said angrily.

The police station that covers the sky with one hand is now not only disobedient, but also has the intention of starting a new mountain. How can Yang Hu be calm?

"You don't have to worry too much about Xu Yan's affairs. He just came here to stay for a few days and would leave sooner or later. Just do your part!" Yang Song didn't want to explain more about this issue and said lightly.

"I understand! I'll do it now!" Yang Hu took the police hat and turned around and left the office. After his figure disappeared, Yang Song hesitated for a while and called a phone number. The moment it was connected, a smile appeared on his face.

"Director Gao, it's me, Yang Song, Heishan Town, I want to have something to do with you first..."

Just as Yang Song was planning, Su Mu was really like Yang Hu said, and Xu Yan were holding a bottle of beer, sitting at a roadside stall in Xingtang County, drinking without hesitation.
