Returning to the Xiping Village Committee, what lingered in Xia Jian's mind was the scene he saw this afternoon, a water village with dozens of households, adobe and tile-roofed houses, and some homes without even a courtyard wall. The entire village

, it is still the same living standard that people in Xiping Village had ten years ago.

Looking at the old people and the naive children who did not know what life was like, Xia Jian secretly made up his mind that he really wanted to do something for the villagers there. Although he was not a great man, he had a bit of conscience. In the poor days, he

He's had enough, and he may never forget the feeling.

"Okay, let's have a cup of tea! Look at the sad look on your face all afternoon. The poverty is not caused by you. You can use as much strength as you can, and no one will say anything to you." Zhao Hong said,

He handed a cup of tea to Xia Jian.

Although Ouyang Hong didn't say anything, her good mood was by no means lighter than Xia Jian's. After all, she was the parent of some villagers. The villagers could not escape poverty. Although it had no direct relationship with her, she still had something to do with it.

"Hey! Zhao Hong, don't we often have some vegetables that are off the shelves in Xiping Village? We send trucks to deliver the unfinished vegetables and distribute them to the villagers in several villages to eat. This can be regarded as our little assistance to them.

After all, they all grew up drinking water from the same Xichuan River," Xia Jian suddenly said to Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. You also know that the quality of our villagers is only so high. Last time our Xiping Village Cooperative lost some money to Zhangwang Village, which also caused dissatisfaction among many people. This matter has been going on for a long time.

Let it calm down. Now we are sending vegetables to these villages. The villagers in Xiping Village can just pick vegetables when they eat in the future. Who has to pay?"

What Zhao Hong said was all true. Xia Jian couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. A drop in the bucket cannot solve the actual problem. We have to speed up the solution fundamentally." Ouyang Hong looked at Xia Jian with pleading eyes and said with a heavy heart.

Wang Lin, who had been silent, said at this time: "Mayor Ouyang, if you want us to invest, you are right, but you have to find a way to improve the hardware facilities, such as building roads and water supply. If these problems are not solved, how can we invest? Besides,

Yes, we are a commercial investment, not a donation. This nature is very different."

Wang Lin hit the mark, leaving Ouyang Hong speechless for a long time. Zhao Hong on the side smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Ouyang, everything Mr. Wang said is reasonable, you can't rely entirely on Xia Jian."

The two women all turned to Xia Jian, which made Ouyang Hong very embarrassed. The government was in trouble, but Xia Jian couldn't handle these problems! Investment and poverty alleviation were indeed two different concepts, and she was too superstitious about Xia Jian.

Built.

Several people had nothing to say for a while. Everyone sat quietly. Xia Jian closed his eyes tightly. He had been thinking about countermeasures. After a long time, he opened his eyes.

Ouyang Hong took a deep breath and asked, "Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

"Let's do this! Our entrepreneurial group will take the lead in establishing the Western Fruit Trading Co., Ltd., and the Xiping Village Cooperative will take shares in the name of the collective, and we will join hands to do it again," Xia Jian said with a smile.

Ouyang Hong chuckled and said, "You can never forget Xiping Village when good things happen."

"It's not that he can't forget Xiping Village, but he is thinking about the money in Xiping Village," Zhao Hong said with a laugh.

Xia Jian's face straightened and he said: "Tomorrow, Mayor Ouyang will lead all the soil sampling. Zhao Hong will go to the provincial capital for testing the day after tomorrow. Mr. Wang will immediately register the Western Trading Co., Ltd. Once these things are completed, Mayor Ouyang will be busy.

"

"Okay, I will immediately apply for a poverty alleviation project to build roads and divert water to several villages in the upper reaches of the Xichuan River, but we have to go hand in hand and cannot wait," Ouyang Hong said with a smile.

Xia Jian nodded and said: "There is no problem with this. Next time I come, I will definitely go to the village to do some investigations. Mayor Ouyang will have to accompany me. There is also the matter of land transfer. You have to clear the relationship in advance.

"

Ouyang Hong agreed wholeheartedly, and Xia Jian's decision had indeed removed a serious problem in her heart. As the few of them talked, they didn't feel that night had fallen.

Ouyang Hong stood up and said with a smile: "I want to go back to Pingyang Town. How did you arrange it?"

"We have to go back, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to do tomorrow," Wang Lin said to Xia Jian. Only Zhao Hong looked unhappy. Xia Jian understood what this woman was thinking, but in this situation,

It's not easy for him to make a decision either.

Ouyang Hong suddenly pulled Zhao Hong and said, "How about we go eat Lao Yang's fried noodles together? His store has added a few new dishes. Everyone who has eaten them thinks they are good. After eating, they go back to the city. You

Just stay at my place and I can just bring you with me when I come up tomorrow."

"Okay! This is a good idea, let's go!" Xia Jian said, taking the lead to go downstairs. Zhao Hong was still a little hesitant, but under Ouyang Hong's constant urging, she still called her home to explain.

Check out the situation of her not going home tonight.

When Xia Jian was thinking about calling home, as soon as he left the village committee gate, he saw Xia Zecheng circling his car, with several people standing around him.

Xia Jian greeted them one by one, and then told Xia Zecheng that he would not go home for dinner tonight. The old man smiled and said nothing, with an obviously disappointed look on his face.

It's less than ten minutes' drive from Xiping Village to Pingyang Town. When they arrived at Lao Yang's fried noodle restaurant in Pingyang Town, the place was already packed and it seemed to be very popular.

Fortunately, when Xia Jian and the others entered, a group of people happened to be leaving, so there were empty seats for them, otherwise they would really have no place to sit.

When Lao Yang saw that these people had a good background, he hurriedly greeted them. He knew Xia Jian and Ouyang Hong. Lao Yang smiled and said to Xia Jian: "Mr. Xia! You haven't been to the shop for some days."

Come on, what do you want to eat today?"

Xia Jian glanced at Ouyang Hong and said with a smile: "Mayor Ouyang said you have a new dish, so let's serve all new dishes. Anyway, it is what you think you are best at. Of course, a plate of fried noodles for each person is indispensable."

"Would you like some beer? We have several kinds of beer in the store," Lao Yang said with a smile. It could be seen that he was getting better and better at business. Not only did he know how to buy noodles, but he also started selling wine.

Xia Jian laughed and said: "Thank you, I will drive this time, next time!"

"Oh! Let's drive! Then don't drink. Otherwise, just have noodle soup or drinks." Lao Yang smiled happily.

Ouyang Hong said at this time: "Lao Yang, don't be polite. Just serve soup. Don't look at strange faces, but we are all friends and don't care about this." Ouyang Hong understood Lao Yang. It turned out that she saw Wang Lin

This was the first time I came to eat at his place. Maybe he saw something different in Wang Lin's clothes and temperament.

After hearing what Ouyang Hong said, Lao Yang smiled and walked away.

Xia Jian asked Ouyang Hong in a low voice: "The business here is so good now, why don't people in town cook at night?"

"That's not true. Most of the people who come here to eat are tourists, and there are not many people in the town." Ouyang Hong said, looking up at the people eating in the restaurant. It felt like she knew everyone in the town.

.

At this moment, the door opened, and three burly guys walked in. The one at the front was wearing a hat, and the two following him had long hair.

Since these three people looked a little weird, Xia Jian couldn't help but take a second look. They were lucky. The restaurant was originally full, but when they were looking around, they saw three people standing on a table diagonally opposite to Xia Jian.

I got up, paid and left. There was just room for these three.

As soon as the three people sat down, the guy wearing the hat took off his hat. My dear, he turned out to be bald. No wonder he was wearing a hat on such a hot day.

The waiter at the restaurant walked over with the menu. Just as he was about to speak, the bald man waved his hand and said: "Three plates of fried noodles, half a pound of cold beef, and minced garlic. After that, we will move the box of beer."

Oops! So free and easy! Could it be that they are ethnic minorities? When Xia Jian was looking at these people, the bald man suddenly looked back at Xia Jian's table, and heard him chuckle and say: "I didn't see many beautiful women along the way.

It turns out that all the beauties are here!”

It is a good thing to be praised by others, but Xia Jian didn't feel comfortable when these words came from this man's mouth. As expected, a guy with yellow hair next to the bald head said: "Brother, there is wine and meat."

There should be beauties, I’ll go over and have a chat and ask them to come over and have a drink with me.”

When Xia Jian heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. He was not afraid, but felt that going out to eat with these women would be a lot of things, and there had already been an incident in this restaurant. Could it be that something else was going to happen today.

Just when Xia Jian was thinking about this, Huang Mao had already walked over. This guy was tall and had a horse-like face. He could be said to be ugly and very unpleasant to look at.

Huang Mao came closer, first looked at the women at Xia Jian's table, and then he laughed and said: "Hey! Are the beauties having a meeting? Look at our table, there is no one there, there are three grown men.

The meal lacks some fun, can any of you come over with me?"

"Crazy, do we know each other?" Zhao Hong was furious. She slammed the table and shouted. Her voice made everyone in the restaurant look over.

Unexpectedly, Huang Mao's face was even thicker than that of the city wall. He chuckled and said, "Once you are new, you will become familiar again. If we go over and have two drinks together, won't we all become familiar with each other?"

"Please go away, you may have seen the wrong person," Ouyang Hong said politely. She may be afraid that Zhao Hong will make the matter worse.

At this moment, the bald man came over swaying. He patted his yellow hair and said, "Let's go, even a few women can't handle it." This guy spoke in a very arrogant tone, and he didn't take Xia Jian seriously at all.

It feels like he is transparent.

Wang Lin glanced at Xia Jian and picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table. Xia Jian saw that this woman seemed to be about to take action. How could he let the woman take action while he was here? This was Xia Jian's principle as a person.

Xia Jiangang moved his body, but unexpectedly the bald man shouted angrily: "Sit down and don't move. I'm very gentle to women, but it's different with men. I'll see blood as soon as I strike."
