The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 5 Meeting Xinyuan
Xinyuan is the name of a teahouse.

This name is so poetic, it is worthy of being a cultural person.

In the afternoon, Xiao Guangwei came to the teahouse in the park early.

When he saw the decoration in Xinyuan, he once again sighed that the things made by cultural people are different. There are still studios and tearooms, which are completely different from those old-fashioned teahouses in towns.

There is also a garden outside the Moon Gate.

Isn't the pond in the garden the same lake that used to be in the park?
When I was young, I would go boating in the park on holidays. At that time, I thought the lake in the park was so big, but now it seems that it is just a small pond.

Is it because people have grown up or have their horizons broadened?

Maybe both.

Xiao Guangwei smiled, walked through the Moon Gate and stood by the pond.

There are clusters of green bamboos and misty waves.

"Sir, are you here for tea? Please sit here."

A waiter wearing a Chinese-style double-breasted floral dress came over to say hello.

Xiao Guangwei: "My surname is Xiao. I have an appointment with the boss here. Please let me know."

"Okay, wait a moment, I will inform the boss."

The waiter turned and left.

Xiao Guangwei sat down on a chair in the garden.

This is a good place, it is rare to find such a quiet place in the busy city.

Hehe, I also steal half a day's leisure.

This is all the blessing of Teacher Toju.

Teacher Zhu is not simple, and it seems that her classmates should not be underestimated.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by a loud voice shouting: "Which one is Secretary Xiao?"

Xiao Guangwei looked back, and saw several men and women walking in from the other side of the Moon Gate.The one who started it was a burly and strong man, and he was the one who asked just now.

Xiao Guangwei stood up: "I am."

The strong man stopped in his tracks and dodged to let the people behind him come up.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Xiao Guangwei and said, "Secretary Xiao, hello, I'm Liu Jianguo."

"Brother Jianguo, my name is Xiao Guangwei. You can call me by my name or Lao Xiao, but don't call me Secretary."

"Okay, sit down."

Several people sat down around the table.

Liu Jianguo introduced three other people to Xiao Guangwei.

The strong man was called Wang Dayong, and the other two ladies were Chen Lili and He Xiuli, and they were in charge of running the teahouse.

Liu Jianguo: "These are all our classmates. There are several more in Ningcheng. Everyone wants to know about Zhu Xia's situation. However, the other classmates are all at work now and have no time to come. They are just a few of our representatives."

Xiao Guangwei: "I didn't expect you to be able to find them after 30 years of separation."

Liu Jianguo said, "Yeah, I'm also wondering, how did Zhu Xia find me?"

Xiao Guangwei said: "In our Baima Town, there are cadres from Ningcheng's education system who went to help the poor. Teacher Zhu found out about you through them."

He Xiuli: "Then how did Zhu Xia go to your place? We have never heard of that place called Qingfeng Village."

Chen Lili: "After graduating from middle school, we were separated. Those who went to technical schools went to technical schools, and those who went to technical secondary schools went to technical secondary schools. Only some students went to high school to take the university entrance exam.

I remember that Zhu Xia had good grades, she must have been admitted to university, the monitor should know. "

Liu Jianguo: "Although we were not in the same class in high school, Zhu Xia was a top student in high school and was very famous in her grade. Later, she was admitted to Western Normal University, and we never met again."

Wang Dayong: "Secretary Xiao, tell us about Zhu Xia. Has she changed much? I wonder if she can still be recognized?"

Xiao Guangwei: "I don't know what she looked like when she was young, and whether she has changed a lot. Oh, by the way, I have a picture of her now, let me show you."

Xiao Guangwei took out his phone and took out some photos.

"On June [-] this year, Mr. Zhu took the photo when he celebrated Children's Day with the children at school."

In the photo, a group of children surrounded a middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman was wearing a red scarf, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

Chen Lili: "Well, it's her. She hasn't changed much, and she can be recognized at a glance. Especially these almond eyes, they look so pretty when they smile."

He Xiuli: "Isn't Zhu Xia always teaching in rural areas?"

Wang Dayong: "How is it possible? Why would such a good school go to the countryside? At least they are middle school teachers, university teachers or state officials in the city. Didn't you see that our mayors all graduated from Western Normal University?"

He Xiuli: "Hey, Dayong, I can't tell, you still know the background of the mayor."

Wang Dayong patted his head honestly and said: "Hey, I was also selling fruit, and I didn't know until I looked at the bulletin board when I was free."

Liu Jianguo: "Old Xiao, we classmates talk endlessly together, which makes you laugh."

Xiao Guangwei: "It's okay, it's very good, only classmates can be so casual when they are together. I envy you very much. Especially there is such a good place."

Chen Lili: "After that, I will come here often when I have time."

Xiao Guangwei: "I want to come here often. It's really a pleasure to drink tea, look at the scenery, and chat here, but it can't be done. I'm currently stationed in Qingfeng Village, and I won't come back if I don't have anything to do."

Xiao Guangwei briefly talked about his situation.

Liu Jianguo and the others suddenly realized, oh, it turns out that he works for the power company.Now I am stationed in the village to participate in targeted poverty alleviation.

Wang Dayong: "We thought you were the secretary of Murakami.

Then Zhu Xia also went to help the poor! "

"Ms. Zhu is a poverty alleviation cadre who came directly from the province. She came to Qingfeng Village last month. I heard that she used to work in a newspaper, but this time she came down with a joint working group.

Members of this joint working group come from the Propaganda Department, the Education Commission, TV stations, newspapers, and a foundation. These units jointly launched a support education action to help children in remote mountainous areas.

I was also just assigned to Qingfeng Village as the village secretary last month, and I was almost in touch with Mr. Zhu.Teacher Zhu is teaching in a small village, and I don't have much contact with her, and I don't know much about her situation. "

"So that's the case. Since Zhu Xia asked the class monitor for help, it means that the conditions there are really poor."

Xiao Guangwei: "Yes. That's why Teacher Zhu Xia asked everyone for help."

Wang Dayong: "There is nothing to say, the old classmate has spoken, we must do our best, Secretary Xiao, everything is ready, how to get it done, did you come by car? We will help you get into the car."

Xiao Guangwei: "This time I came back to borrow the pickup truck from our substation. That car is too dirty, so I'm sorry to drive into the city, so it's parked in our material company."

Liu Jianguo said with a smile: "Your pickup truck is indeed shameful. I saw it yesterday morning, and it was near our unit."

Xiao Guangwei: "So we just passed each other."

Liu Jianguo: "We will meet sooner or later if we are destined."
