I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 112

Entering Shuiqiao Village, they were all in the village because they called in advance and Bai Yuning and the other three were just visiting homes these days.

It was almost time to eat, and the sky was filled with smoke from every household in the village, except for the yard where the poverty alleviation group was located.

"Cadre Bai, these are home-made pickles and chili sauce. When you cook porridge and eat highland barley, just put a steamed bun or something with rice. Don't dislike it."

Bai Yuning took the pickle bottle and said with a smile: "How could it be possible, Aunt He, the three of us all like spicy food, so this chili sauce is the best."

Aunt He was very happy when she heard this and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, you eat, and I will give it to you after you finish eating." After that, she turned around and walked home happily.

Bai Yuning watched the other party leave with a smile, and from time to time he took a few handfuls of beans, a few eggplants and the like, which were vegetables in the current harvest season.

Just at this moment, the wooden door of a house at the intersection opened, and an elderly man, bent over and wearing a cane, walked out with Duoduo: "...Grandma, don't worry, the daughter you reported does not care for her in old age, no matter what You, we will definitely pay more attention to the problem of not giving money, but there are standards for disbursing this poverty subsidy, so I have to go back and check your family’s information."

"How come you are such a little girl? I am an old woman who cannot lie to others. My family is in this situation and is even poorer than Old Donkey's family. Why doesn't the government send money to my family?" The old man refused to let Duo Duo leave. , waving the cane and saying nonsense.

When the old man's son who was in the yard heard this, he came out of the yard angrily, protected the old man and started shouting.

"My grandma is so old, and you guys are still making noises about her. Why, even if she is a cadre, she can bully others..."

When Bai Yuning saw the situation here, he immediately put down what he was holding and trotted over there.

Uncle Chen Wu and the village party secretary, who were still in the village government, heard the commotion and walked out very quickly. When they saw the person who often made trouble, they looked at each other and slowed down, and walked slowly towards there. past.

In the car, because the window was open, a few words were blown in the wind. Growing up in the city, I had never seen this kind of domesticity and various quarrels and mediations. Huang Yuwei found it interesting and couldn't help but poke her head out in interest. Enjoy watching the excitement.

Chen Mu glanced away and looked helpless at the expression on someone's face.

But she still very considerately stopped at a position where she could see and hear clearly, so that she could see enough.

People over there are still arguing.

The old man's son said in a loud voice: "Don't just say that you read the information. This sentence has been said every day from a few years ago to now. Everyone says that the subsidy just won't come. I think you cadres are deliberately not giving it to my family. "

"Zhuzi, don't talk nonsense. Your family's conditions do not meet the regulations at all. How can we possibly give you poverty alleviation subsidies?" Chen Wushu said angrily.

Before he finished speaking, the old man over there wiped away his tears again, looking aggrieved: "I miss my two daughters. The third one is heartless. If she doesn't come back to see me, she won't do it." Don’t give me money!”

"Grandma, we will get in touch with your daughters about this and persuade them to come back..."

The old man held many hands and burst into tears: "Daughter, I'm hungry. Those three are heartless. They haven't come back for so long. They didn't even wash my clothes during the Chinese New Year. I wish my old lady could die!"

Huang Qingwei in the car heard some confusion and sympathy on his face.

There is usually nothing to kill time in the countryside, so there are constant quarrels. The shortness of East Street and West Street is what the villagers love. However, when several nearby families heard the commotion here, they just took out their heads and looked at it. Then he curled his lips in disgust and returned home.

Ten minutes later.

Huang Qingwei soon felt tired of listening to the repeated words of persuasion. She stretched her head back, feeling a little bored and couldn't help but yawn.

Chen Mu glanced at her and smiled: "Don't you think it's boring?"

"Yeah." Huang Qing replied with a slight wilting, but thinking of the old man's poor appearance in shabby clothes and constantly wiping tears, and thinking of the old man's son who seemed to be a little lame in his legs and feet, but still defended the old man, she couldn't help but sit up straight and thought about it. After thinking about it, he said: "Chen Mu, that old man looks so pitiful. She said she hasn't eaten for three days. Can you take me to buy some rice and noodles and send them to her?"

Chen Mu looked at this kind girl and felt warm in his heart, but still shook his head and said, "No."

"Ah?" Huang Qingwei said in surprise.

Her expression is very easy to understand, and the words "You are so unsympathetic" are clearly written on her face.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly and opened his mouth to explain: "This family's situation is very complicated, not that simple."

When he was about to explain in detail how complicated it was, he saw many people who had tried to persuade them without any results and ran back to the yard where they lived, and moved out the vegetables and small half bags that the villagers had given them in the past few days. flour.

Bai Yuning helped fill the water tank in the old man's home.

Uncle Chen sighed when he saw this, grabbed Duoduo who was still trying to help with the cooking, and shouted sternly: "Aunt He, it's time for dinner, it's time to cook, it's time to eat, you are still gathering at the door Why, do you want to give up the village stage to you, and you go there to make a noise?!"

The old man's son was not happy yet and kept yelling.

Uncle Chen Wu was immediately angry. He glanced at his legs that were so nimble when walking and jumping, and said angrily: "Zhuzi, it seems that your legs are no longer troublesome after this quarrel!"

"Uh!" Zhu Zhu, who was still arguing, suddenly became angry and muttered a few words, then helped the old man into the yard and closed the door with a "snap".

Uncle Chen Wu was a little angry when he saw that many of them were not accompanied by village cadres to visit their homes. He said earnestly: "The situation in Shuiqiao Village is a bit special. Some things cannot be written clearly in the documents. The next time you visit, please remember We will work with the village cadres to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."

Seeing that the farce was over, Chen Mu turned to look at Huang Qingwei: "Let's go, I'll take you over to rest."

"Ah."

"If you like to watch the excitement, there is a lot of excitement here, and you will definitely be able to see it to your heart's content."

"Ah?" Huang Qingwei didn't understand, but nodded anyway and got out of the car with the food he ordered at Bao'anzu Restaurant.

Chen Mu unloaded the two large suitcases and pushed them to the courtyard where Bai Yuning and the others lived.

At this time, Uncle Chen Wu and the village party secretary were still at the gate of the yard.

"Where's Cadre Niu?"

"He went to the fields to determine each household's status of highland barley sowing for the coming year."

"Hey, Cadre Bai, you three have to make a fire to cook later. It's going to be very troublesome. Why don't you come to my house to eat."

"Thank you, Party Secretary, no need, someone will bring us food today."

The sound of suitcases gurgling on the gravel road came closer and closer. Bai Yuning saw the two people approaching side by side and said with a smile, "No, the person bringing the food is here."

Chen Mu smiled and greeted: "Fifth Uncle, Third Uncle Li."

Uncle Chen turned his head and saw Huang Yuwei standing beside Chen Mu. His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked directly: "Xiao Mu, who is this?"

Huang Qingwei's cheeks turned slightly red and she unconsciously glanced at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu coughed dryly and said sheepishly: "Tourist, tourist!"

Seeing his appearance, Uncle Chen immediately understood and slapped his thigh. Although he couldn't ask further due to his status, he still looked very friendly.

"Hello, tourist, little girl, if Chen Mu bullies you, come to me, Uncle Chen Wu, and I will beat him up for you."

"Fifth Uncle." Chen Mu was helpless.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Li San shook his head and smiled: "Okay, it's dinner time. We two old guys are blocking the door. How can we eat? Let's go." After that, he looked at Bai Yuning and Duoduo: "cadre Bai, cadre Xu, we'll leave first."

Bai Yuning stopped for a moment: "Village Chief Chen and Party Secretary Li, what we said in the afternoon about the villagers' intention to plant fruit trees, it is best for us to hold a meeting in the past few days to discuss on-site, so as not to miss the best planting time. "

Uncle Chen thought for a while and said, "It's okay to have a meeting, but it's the highland barley harvest season. The morning and afternoon are busy farming times, so we can only have a meeting at noon."

"Okay, let's set it at noon tomorrow." Bai Yuning made the decision.

After the two of them walked away, a few people entered the yard.

What catches the eye are four skewers of chili peppers hanging in front of the door of the house above.

There are fertilizer bags on the ground on both sides of the yard. On the bags, there are balls of long beans and soybeans that have not yet been depoded. Strings of long beans are also hung on the water tanks and bamboo poles in the yard. Occasionally, there are also strings of long beans hanging on them. You can see many long handfuls of purple eggplants.

Huang Qing slightly rounded his eyes.

She had only seen such a lively courtyard on TV.

Bai Yuning took the box, took Huang Qingwei's little hand, and walked towards the room that had just been packed for her.

Chen Mu touched his nose, took the food he just took from Huang Qingwei's hand, and asked, "Where do you put these things?"

"Oh." Duo Duo then realized what he was doing. He set up the table against the wall and put a few more bowls and plates on the table.

Chen Mu put the packaged mutton, bowls of vegetables, wheat offal soup, boiled chicken, green wheat steamed buns, and the dipping sauces he prepared on the table one by one.

Just at this time, Niu Jiawang, who went to the fields to check the yield of highland barley, also entered the house and greeted Chen Mu. After seeing these delicious foods, he consciously washed his hands and went into the kitchen to take out the dishes.

Because the Tu people pay attention to eating and hygiene habits, even though there are one Tu people and two Xia people living in the yard, their bowls and chopsticks still have three colors and patterns, and each person uses his own bowls and chopsticks, and they will never mix them. .

He placed the bowls and chopsticks one by one according to the pattern and the usual positions, and then took out two sets of guest bowls and chopsticks. When he was about to place them, Chen Mu quickly stopped and said: "Brother Jiawang, no need, I Both Qingwei and Qingwei have eaten."

Remembering that there were several large watermelons in the car, he thought about it and decided to move them over.

Duo Duoduo was turning the beans in the yard and preparing to dry them into dried beans. Niu Jiawang looked at so many beans and his face turned green.

The Tu people only eat a small amount of green vegetables, and they hardly touch beans, so when they saw something like this and smelled it, Niu Jiawang couldn't bear it.

He asked with a blue face: "Why are there so many beans again?"

"It was a gift from the villagers." Duoduo replied helplessly.

"This is too much!"

Duoduo also had a worried face: "What can we do? Every household in the village has opened a small vegetable patch outside their home or yard. Every time they go there, they have to pick some. I saw it in the yard at night. I know how to give it away, but I can’t refuse it. What else can I do if I don’t let it hang out? I can’t just throw it all away.”

Especially in the past two days, when they came to visit the elderly and poor households, they would do whatever they could. In order to express their gratitude, those people naturally gave them some fresh vegetables grown in their own fields when they had nothing to do.

It's hard for them to refuse this.

You can't just watch a shaky old man hand over a handful of vegetables and then have them shove it back.

You can't even throw it away!

They still want to start working here and throw away all the vegetables that were kindly sent to them, so that the villagers know what to think of them?
house.

Huang Qingwei made the bed by herself, and Bai Yuning helped her clean it up. Within ten minutes, the two of them called each other's names affectionately.

"Qingwei, what's your relationship with Chen Mu? He seems to care about you very much." Bai Yuning asked curiously as he took a basin of water from the yard.

Huang Qing blushed slightly and murmured in a low voice: "It's just the relationship between tourists and tour guides."

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that my old classmate is a big pervert, and he gets horny when he sees it." Bai Yuning teased in a longer tone.

But I was still surprised in my heart. I thought that there were girls who wanted to chase me but they just declined, but I didn’t expect that there were actually girls out there!

Looking at Huang Qingwei's beautiful face and good figure, Bai Yuning had to say with emotion: This old classmate of mine is really discerning.

After hearing that the two were classmates, Huang Qingwei blushed and leaned over, asking about something. After a while, snickers broke out between the two.

……

At this moment, Chen Mu, who was quite discerning, had just opened the trunk and was about to take Xigua out when he heard the phone ring.

"Hey, Mumu, where did you, a forest farm owner, wander off without doing your job?" Zhang Zizheng said with a helpless voice.

Chen Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why didn't you call me in advance when you came to see me? I will be somewhere else right now. If you are not busy, just ask me for a while. I will rush back as soon as possible."

"Okay, come back as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mu didn't waste any time. He drove back a few times and picked up six or seven watermelons and put them in the yard.

Bai Yuning shook his head and joked: "Old classmate, I have been here for so long, and you have never been here again except after treating me to a feast."

She looked at Huang Qingwei, who had just changed her clothes, and joked: "The situation has changed again when it comes to Qingwei. Before this person arrived, you came over in advance to help clean the room where she was going to sleep, and delivered fruits. Yes. Am I out of date? Is the relationship between tourists and tour guides so good these days? "

Huang Qingwei, who looked at Duo Duo with rosy cheeks, also chimed in and joked: "Yes, Chen Mu, the tour guides I met always tried their best to cheat my wallet. I have never met such a good tour guide like you. Come on, Introduce it to me and tell me where I can find such a good tour guide?!"

"Haha, I am the only one in the world, there is no other semicolon."

Huang Qingwei said that he was powerful, but when it came to the actual situation, he was so shy that he turned into a mimosa——

I could only lower my head shyly, not daring to face him openly.

"Qingwei, there is something urgent for me at the forest farm. I have to go there quickly. Monitor, Qingwei, please take care of me."

"I know, I will definitely help Tour Guide Chen take good care of his tourists." Bai Yuning joked at the end and sent them out.

Huang Qingwei also quickly followed.

The three of them walked out of the yard, and Bai Yuning suddenly said: "Chen Mu, the village has been very dissatisfied with you for only bringing tourists to Tibetan villages and not bringing people to your own village. They are even more dissatisfied after asking about the tourist reception fees. When I visited them in the past two days, I kept saying that their houses are just as shabby, but you are so cruel and unwilling to help them make money."

Huang Qingwei had just arrived and didn't know anything about this, so she just listened obediently and did not interrupt.

Hearing this, Chen Mu said: "The farmhouse needs a selling point. Is there any selling point here that can attract tourists?"

"We all know this and will explain it to them, but you have to be mentally prepared."

As for the psychological preparation, Bai Yuning did not say anything.
