I got up early. After washing up, I went out. I bought two packs of Soft Cloud cigarettes from a small shop on the side of Xinjie Street, and also bought a lighter. I walked quickly and arrived at the intersection of Shunzhong Lane. I looked at the time and saw that it was just right.

It was half past seven. There were still fifteen minutes left before the agreed time. But Mu Yi did not hesitate and called Jin Lily.

"Are you up?"

"You've gotten up early. How about you?"

"I'm here."

"Then I'll come out right away."

Hang up the phone. Soon, Jin Lily appeared in front of Mu Yi.

Mu Yi looked at Jin Lily: "Why did you get up so early?"

Jin Baihe smiled and said, "Don't laugh. It was mainly because I was a little excited. I woke up several times during the night. It was not even dawn at all, so I finally got up until Xiaoqing and the others got up to study. So I got up."

"Then why don't you give me a call?"

"Didn't you agree on the time?"

Because there was still plenty of time, the two of them came to a clay pot rice noodle shop while talking and ordered two bowls of clay pot rice noodles.

The boss quickly used iron tongs to grab two bowls of rice noodles in a clay pot that were still boiling, and then brought a small bowl and a spoon. Then the two slowly picked out the rice noodles from the clay pot and put them into the small bowl.

, then use a spoon to scoop some of the soup from the casserole into a small bowl, let it dry for a while, and then pick it up with chopsticks to eat. Take a mouthful of fragrant and glutinous rice noodles, and then drink a mouthful of delicious soup. It is very satisfying.

On the way to the "Fangfang" store, Mu Yi bought some fruits for Jin Lily at the fruit stall. Then he came to the store. After chatting with the proprietress for a while, Master Hong also drove to the "Fangfang" store.

At the door, everyone helped to move and quickly put some things in the car.

After getting in the car, Mu Yi handed a pack of cigarettes to Master Hong.

"What are you doing?"

"Brother Hong, pick up the cigarette."

Master Hong smiled and joked, "I like cigarettes." He put the cigarette in his pocket.

This joke made Jin Lily's face turn red with embarrassment. Mu Yi quickly said: "Xiyan is issued with two packs. At that time, I have to ask Brother Hong to help me more."

"It's no problem, brother. Just tell me when the time comes. I have to help you with this."

The car quickly drove out of the county town, passed Tianhuang Temple, Huayang Township, and then passed through Taiyang Town, then drove toward the mountains along a mountain road in the northwest.

Seeing that Mu Yi was silent, Master Hong said, "Have you been here before?"

"No."

"This is Dazhai. My old house is here. After here, it is the boundary of Yudong Township. Pass through Yudong Township, continue to drive forward, and climb to the top of the pass to reach the territory of Jinshan Township."

"Oh. Far from it?"

“It’s not far, it only takes about an hour to drive there.”

Sure enough, the car started to climb after passing the houses of Yudong Township. After driving on the gentle slope for about ten or twenty minutes, I saw a very tall mountain about ten kilometers away on the right.

"Brother Hong, what kind of mountain is that mountain?"

"That mountain is the famous Maoer Mountain. The TV signal station in Xigui used to be on top of it. But this mountain is not a good mountain."

"Why?"

"Because there are fires in this mountain almost every year."

"Why?"

"Because there is no water on this mountain. So there are no trees growing, just some bare grass. It is also very difficult to rescue if there is a fire. But it is also very strange. Every time a wildfire burns, it is basically

Let the weeds burn naturally, and then the rain soon put out the fire. I don’t know why.”

"That's a bit magical."

"Yeah. The older generation said there might be a lazy god living on top of Maoer Mountain."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that this god is very lazy. He lived there and didn't use any magic to make Maoer Mountain have water, and he was too lazy to move it. Only the wildfires on the mountain started burning, and the smoke made him unbearable.

, he just used some magic to put out the fire. Do you think he is too lazy?"

"Hahaha. It's really a bit lazy."

Unknowingly, the car had reached the top of a hill.

"This is Guanding. After getting off Guanding, we will reach Jinshan Township. Below Guanding is Pingyuan Village. Most of this village is rotten fields and peat soil is everywhere. The people are ethnically diverse.

It’s hard to grow crops well.”

Sure enough, when we got off the top of the pass, what we saw was the "Pingyuan Village" with its vast plains. Looking around, in addition to a relatively concentrated number of households, there were not many, and there were rotten ponds everywhere. The roads here were easy.

The road is completely dirt. Fortunately, the weather is not bad today. If it were raining, it would probably be muddy.

Master Hong's speed increased a lot. The car continued to drive along the dirt road, on a gentle slope that was extremely difficult to detect. After driving for another ten or twenty minutes, a cement road appeared in sight, with dense farmhouses and households on both sides. This

It is an obvious sign. This should be the "street" of Jinshan Township, and the township government should be somewhere here.

Sure enough, the car entered the house and drove slowly for a few minutes before turning to the left of the road. The wooden sign of Jinshan Tibetan Township in Xigui County was clearly hung on the red tile wall next to the gate. The gate and the gate of Valado Township

Almost exactly the same, it is also a steel pipe door.

Master Hong drove the car into the courtyard of the township government. He saw a green jeep parked inside. Look at the fresh wet car marks left on the courtyard. It should be the jeep. It is probably about the same size as the jeep.

Muyi and the others arrived a little earlier.

The cadres in the township government heard the sound of a car entering the township government and walked out of the house.

A chiseled middle-aged man in his late thirties came over.

"Excuse me, which unit do you belong to?"

Master Hong: "Oh. I am Hong Biao from the Work Safety Bureau, and we are here to send Golden Lily."

The middle-aged man said, "Oh, welcome, welcome. I am Chen Axia, the mayor of Jinshan Township." As he said this, he introduced another middle-aged man in his forties standing next to him.

"This is Secretary Hu from our township."

Master Hong recognized Secretary Hu at a glance. "Hey, Mr. Huaping. You have been transferred here to be the secretary."

"Oh, you said it, old cousin Biaozi."

Mu Yi thought to himself, Master Hong and Secretary Hu are still old cousins.

Yu Mengtian had already seen Jin Lily and ran over, and the two started chatting.

Master Hong hurriedly called to Jin Lily: "Xiao Jin, why don't you come and see your secretary and mayor soon?"

Jin Baihe and Mu Yi hurried forward to say hello to Secretary Hu and Township Chief Chen. Mu Yi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened them and spread the cigarettes for everyone.

After everyone greeted each other and exchanged simple greetings, Master Hong said, "My cousin, where is Xiao Jin's dormitory? Move her things in and put them away first."

Secretary Hu raised his hand and pointed to a row of renovated small bungalows to the north of the township government. The third one over there.

Master Hong got in the car and drove directly to the door of the third house.

Everyone followed. A young man in his early thirties ran over with a bunch of keys and opened the third door. Then he took off the three keys with the number 3 on them and gave them to Jin Lily.

"Xiao Jin, this is the key to your room."

Jin Lily looked at the person in front of her who was giving her the key. She didn't know how to address them. She could only say: "Thank you. Thank you."

This person is also a straightforward person. "My name is Yuan Qinglong, and I am the deputy secretary here."

"Oh, it's Secretary Yuan. Thank you."

…

Everyone helped and quickly moved things into Jin Lily's house. This was the first time a middle-aged woman in her forties walked over to the house.

Yu Mengtian hurriedly introduced to Jin Lily: "Lily, this is Rao Xingxin and Rao Niang from our hometown."

Jin Baihe: "Please forgive me."

Mu Yi took out a basin and a handkerchief to collect water and helped Jin Lily wipe the dust in the room. Rao and the others helped Jin Lily lay the bed and floor. Master Hong, Old Biao Hu and the others were bragging and chatting outside...

Soon Jin Lily's house was almost tidied up.

When Mu saw that there was no coal or fire in Madam Rao's room, she asked, "Madam Rao, how do you solve the food problem here?"

"Oh. We eat in the dining group here. Everyone just pays a nominal 100 yuan for living expenses every month."

"That's really convenient."

"I see that Xiao Jin also brought a stove."

"Muyi, how about you take the stove back?"

"Forget it, it's better to stay here. It's better to buy some briquettes and light a fire, so that the room will be warmer. You can remove the moisture. It will be more convenient for you to boil some water to boil your feet at night."

"That's right. Xiaomu is right."

"By the way. Madam Rao, is there anyone selling briquettes here?"

"If anyone delivers briquettes to the township government, just let them know when the time comes."
