The official way of rebirth

Tang Yi just smiled and chatted with Mao Haishan. Mao Haishan was even ready. As long as Tang Yi mentioned the photo at the beginning, he would find an excuse to return the photo to him. As for other things, he was worried about it.

It's amazing. No matter what the consequences are if you hand over the photo, it will be more comfortable than having a headache every day in your own hands. And I think that Tang Yi will be more wary of himself in the future, but he will not regard himself as an opponent because of this photo.

of.

After dinner, Tang Yi returned to the office. Mao Haishan looked at Tang Yi's back and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the afternoon, Tang Yi received a call from Wu Heng, secretary of the Youth League Committee. The caller mentioned that a prosecutor from the Procuratorate also gave many books and educational chess as gifts to the students of Hope Primary School during the New Year, and that the prosecutor was also planning to go to Hope Primary School.

Let’s take a look at the elementary school. I’d like to ask if I can take this prosecutor with me when I visit the children at Hope Elementary School tomorrow afternoon.

Tang Yi didn't want to go to the countryside in a big way. He just informed the Youth League Committee and the Education Bureau to select a few typical Hope Primary Schools and send cadre representatives to visit the children with him tomorrow afternoon. Being able to go to the countryside with Mayor Tang was of course an opportunity to show his face.

The competition was fierce, especially in the Youth League Committee, where there were many young cadres and young people were eager for progress. In the end, Wu Heng had no choice but to make the decision to personally accompany Mayor Tang to the countryside. As for the Education Bureau, the director went to study abroad, and Huang

The deputy director acted as representative.

Tang Yi heard that a prosecutor also sent Hope Primary School books, so he became curious and asked Wu Heng the name of prosecutor. Wu Heng said a female prosecutor named Chen. Tang Yi smiled knowingly, but he happened to have something to talk to Chen.

Let's talk about it.

Before getting off work in the evening, Tang Yi received a call from Chen Dalhe. Chen Dalhe said hesitantly: "I think I found the photo."

Tang Yi was a little strange. Chen Dahe was always straightforward. If he found something, he found it. If he didn't find it, he didn't find it. What do you mean by "seemingly found"? This is not his style.

I made an appointment with Chen Dahe to meet at the small bar on the top floor of the Xinhua Hotel. When Tang Yi saw the photo that Chen Dahe took out, it suddenly dawned on him that it was a photo of himself and Qi Jie, but it had been painted black with black ink. It was impossible to tell who was in the photo.

Who it was, even if it was me. If I hadn't thought about it first, I wouldn't have thought it was a photo of me and Qi Jie.

In the afternoon, someone from the city bureau’s lost and found office brought a wallet that they had found. When the staff at the lost property checked the lost property, they found a business card with a small steel cannon inside, and they hurriedly reported it. In the rush, the person who found the wallet was

No trace left.

There is only a bunch of keys in the wallet. That's this photo.

Tang Yi weighed the photo and smiled slightly. It seemed that it had really reached Mao Haishan's hands. It was a blessing that he came up with this method.

Tang Yi put away the photo, clinked glasses with Chen Dahe, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Dahe slowly took a sip of beer and wanted to ask what to do with Dazhi, but Tang Yi didn't mention it. He couldn't open his mouth either. He wouldn't mention the name Dazhi to Tang Yi casually. He thought to himself, Brother Tang Yi

There's always a way, right?

Although Tang Yi wanted to stay in Kuancheng, he inevitably followed a small convoy, mainly the county magistrate in charge of culture and education in Kuancheng, the cadres from the Youth League Committee, the Education Bureau and other departments. This was Tang Yi's refusal.

The secretary of the city and county party committee and the county magistrate and other teams proposed to accompany him to the countryside. Seeing that Tang Yizhen had a serious look on his face, the enthusiasm of Kuancheng party and government leaders to accompany him to the countryside subsided.

Chen Ke, however, was sitting in the Education Bureau's car just like Wu Heng.

In front is a small car from Kuancheng leading the way, followed closely by the Audi, and behind that is a car from the Municipal Education Bureau and several other cars from Kuancheng.

Tang Yi looked at the car where Chen Ke was sitting in the rearview mirror, feeling a little helpless, but he had no chance to say that.

It is the same routine in several Hope Primary Schools, visiting classrooms, visiting teachers' teachings, talking cordially to students in a certain class, handing out gifts, and the Young Pioneers expressing their gratitude on behalf of all students. When handing out gifts, there is no basic understanding.

Not seeing the innocent smiles on the children's faces, they all sat upright. After getting the wrapped books, they put them on the desks. They should have been arranged long ago. I think the teachers had warned them not to do this or that.

Tang Yi just sighed softly. In his current position, it is no longer easy to get in touch with the real side of society. This cannot be changed by just a few orders.

According to the planned arrangement, the school we went to next was relatively remote. The convoy stopped in front of a rugged mountain road. Tang Yi led the team on foot for more than half an hour on a mountainous road of three miles before arriving at this school. The principal

During the discussion, Tang Yicai discovered that the principal was different from teachers elsewhere. He was knowledgeable and extremely wise. After asking about it, he found out that he was a national special teacher. After he retired, he was unwilling to be lonely and used his remaining talents.

Tang Yi chatted with the principal, but when he realized that it was a little late, he realized that it was already dark.

Originally, there was a more remote Hope Primary School in the plan, but it had to be entered through this ravine and walked for another hour. Wu Heng suggested that since it was too late, we should skip it.

Tang Yi asked the person in charge of the Kuancheng Education Bureau next to him, "Can they be notified?"

The person in charge said with a look of embarrassment: "Don't talk about telephones there, there is no electricity."

Director Huang of the Municipal Education Bureau glared at the person in charge, why was he so confused?

Sure enough, Tang Yi stood up: "Then let's go now, don't keep the children waiting!"

The principal nodded approvingly.

Wu Heng was very eloquent, "Mayor, I think it's too late. If I rush there now, I can only stay there for the night. I've been to that primary school, with one teacher and seven or eight students. It's the nearest village to the primary school."

There are only a dozen or so families, so we people have no place to stay at all, and it is too much trouble for the villagers, don’t you think?"

Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "Then just a few of us will go. You, Director Huang, me, Comrade Xiao Chen, and comrades from Kuancheng, please all go back!" Wu Heng saw that Tang Yi was not just posturing, so he stopped talking.

.

The cadres in Kuancheng County had an excuse and were eager to return to the warm home in the county. It was too cold in the mountains. The three-mile mountainous road just now made some cadres complain endlessly. They were not excited to follow the mayor for inspection. Of course, there were also some

The cadres hoped to go with the mayor, but Tang Yi gave the order and the objective conditions really did not allow it, so the group had to watch the mayor and others go down the path at the school gate.

Baligou Hope Primary School.

It was already after six o'clock when Tang Yi, Wu Heng, Director Huang, Chen Ke, and Jun Zi arrived at the Hope Primary School. In early spring, night had fallen.

Baligou Hope Primary School is very simple. There is only one classroom, no walls, and it stands alone on a barren slope. Children from nearby mountain people come here to study. There is no administrative village here. The mountain people live naturally scattered, and the largest natural village is only about a dozen

Households.

Further north, we are already very close to the deep mountains and old forests. Those deep mountains are also the most common refuge for refugees who are unfamiliar with the situation in the country but have fled North Korea. Refugees often starve to death in these deep mountains.

It was a dark sky with no lights. You could vaguely see some figures standing in front of the classroom.

Wu Heng led the way and walked up. He asked, "Is it Teacher Xiao Zhou?" It wasn't Wu Hengqiang who had chosen a few Hope Primary Schools that the mayor would visit. Naturally, he wanted to have an overview of these primary schools.

Understand. And this most remote and representative primary school should be more focused on understanding.

There are seven students in a classroom, ranging from eight to fifteen years old. They all started from the first grade of elementary school. However, for the older ones, Teacher Xiao Zhou accelerated their progress. After all, they are older.

As you get older, your ability to absorb knowledge will become stronger.

"Yes, you are from the city?" the girl's sweet voice said.

As we got closer, we could see through the faint moonlight that a pretty girl in her twenties was standing in front of the classroom leading seven or eight children of different heights. Although most of the children's cotton-padded clothes were wearing thick

patches, but they are all clean and tidy.

Wu Heng walked over, shook hands with Teacher Xiao Zhou and introduced himself, and then introduced Tang Yi, Director Huang, and Chen Ke, Jun Zi, to Teacher Xiao Zhou.

Obviously, when shaking hands with Tang Yi, Teacher Xiao Zhou was very excited but also very reserved. He said shyly: "I thought you weren't coming."

Wu Heng explained from the side: "I proposed to come see you tomorrow, but Mayor Tang was afraid that you would wait, and he couldn't bear it."

Teacher Xiao Zhou turned around and said loudly to the children: "Have you seen the mountain road that the mayor walked all night to see us? Do you think the mayor is okay?"

"Okay!" A neat and clear child's voice.

"Then what should you do to repay Uncle Mayor?"

The next answers became confusing. A childish voice said loudly: "Study hard and make progress every day." A childish voice said: "I want my mother to make pancakes and sell eggs to the mayor's uncle." This is probably only eaten during the Chinese New Year at home.

Delicious food arrived.

Hearing that these were not arranged children's sounds, Tang Yi laughed, and immediately felt that this trip was not in vain. When Junzi distributed the books he carried to the children, he even laughed loudly and said "Thank you" in confusion.

The voices of "Uncle Mayor" and "Thank you, Uncle".

Tang Yi said to Teacher Xiao Zhou: "It's too late. Let the children go home. Let's stay here tonight and come back to see the children tomorrow. Ah, are their homes far away?" Then he sighed and shook his head.

: "Formalism!"

Director Huang and Wu Heng were both a little uncomfortable.

Teacher Xiao Zhou smiled and said: "Mayor Tang, don't say that. These children are used to walking on mountain roads. Sometimes, we finish school later than this. Besides, the notice from the Education Bureau does not require us to wait for you at night.

, I really want these children to meet you, maybe

, now some of them are still young and will not understand the meaning of meeting you, but when they grow up and recall the past, this moment is a precious treasure worth remembering in their lifetime, and they will know that this world is full of warmth.

and love.”

Tang Yi didn't expect that Teacher Xiao Zhou was very eloquent, so he smiled slightly: "Anyway, let's send them away now. If anyone is far away from home, we will send them off separately."

Teacher Xiao Zhou waved her hands hurriedly and said: "There is only one child who lives far away. Today, I will take her to Baligou to stay for one night. Her family has agreed. For the other children who do not live in Baligou, I will give them to them.

Already."

Baligou is a natural village with only a dozen households. Some villagers have no idea about the mayor and don't seem to be in awe, but they sincerely respect Teacher Xiao Zhou.

After communication with Teacher Xiao Zhou, the villagers from the family with the best conditions in the village gave up their three main rooms and went to the village to build a dormitory for Teacher Xiao Zhou for one night. Tang Yi and others were arranged to live in this family.

The residents had kerosene lamps, so Teacher Xiao Zhou went to borrow one and filled it with kerosene.

The two rooms in the east and west are kept warm by the kang. The little girl who is farthest from home is called Daya, and she will also stay here tonight.

This farmer's house didn't have much decent furniture, and it was just a few wooden stools borrowed by Teacher Xiao Zhou. But they actually ate egg pancakes. After Tang Yi greeted them, a few people sat in circles around the wooden table, eating pancakes.

, drank egg soup to ward off the cold. Daya ate it with gusto, which made Tang Yi feel uncomfortable.

After dinner, Tang Yi chatted with Teacher Xiao Zhou and Daya to learn about the local customs and customs. He even asked Teacher Xiao Zhou if he had any ideas to help the villagers get rid of poverty.

Teacher Xiao Zhou sighed: "I know how to teach and educate people, and how to get rid of poverty and become rich, but I am just an outsider."

Maybe it was because the walls of the villagers' houses were so thin that the mountain wind could blow in. It was very cold in the house. Teacher Xiao Zhou suggested: "Let's sit on the kang and chat."

Tang Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's talk all night today. Teacher Xiao Zhou agreed, knowing that Mayor Tang will definitely not be used to living in such conditions. He will not cover the villagers with quilts.

Tang Yi turned back to Wu Heng and Director Huang and said, "When you are tired, go to sleep. You don't need to accompany me!"

Wu Heng and Director Huang were so cold that they hurriedly went to the West House. Although they couldn't sleep on the villagers' bedding, they felt much warmer when they lay on the warm kang with their clothes on and covered themselves with quilts. After a while, the two of them were

Fell asleep.

Junzi didn't get on the kang. He sat leaning against the corner with the general's coat pulled over his head, taking a nap there. Tang Yi knew what he was thinking. In any case, without him present, he, two girls, and a little girl

Sitting around the kang is not appropriate either.

A low wooden table like that in rural areas was placed on the kang. The wooden table was covered with a light gray tablecloth. Tang Yi, Chen Ke, Teacher Xiao Zhou and Daya sat around the table. Tang Yi and Chen Ke sat across from each other, looking at Chen Ke.

Ke's little face turned red from the cold, and Tang Yi felt pity for her.

The kang head was warm and although a little hard, it was quite comfortable to sit on in the cold weather.

While chatting, Tang Yi saw that Da Ya was a little tired, so he smiled and said: "If you feel sleepy, just go to bed, we have to go to school tomorrow." Although the next day was Saturday, older children like them did not

On rest days, Teacher Xiao Zhou is trying to catch up with the progress and make up for the lost time of these children.

Teacher Xiao Zhou said: "Tomorrow, I will give them all a day off. It is not good to be too tight. I will lend you to help them relax." Tang Yi said "oh", and Chen Ke suggested: "I, I promise

There seems to be a pair of checkers left in the house, let’s play chess? Let’s chat while we play.”

Tang Yi nodded, and Chen Ke stood up, walked to the kang and sat down to put on her leather shoes. She was wearing a dark blue uniform, and she wore snow-white socks to show off her feet. She picked up the delicate black leather shoes and put them on her feet, tying the shoelaces.

Tang Yi was stunned for a while, then looked away, smiling bitterly in his heart, this little Chen Ke, said she was

She is a child, but she is becoming more and more feminine. She is a woman, but looking at the serious look on her face when tying her shoelaces, it is clear that she is as focused as a child, as if she was childish when she first met her.

So perfect that I just had the idea of ​​helping her put on her shoes and taking care of her.

Perhaps, she looks strong and pretends to be mature, but in fact she is the most helpless child who needs love the most.

Tang Yi sighed softly. He didn't even know when Chen Ke sat up again and put the checkers in place.

"Mayor Tang, you can smoke on the ground. Just flick the ashes on the ground." Teacher Xiao Zhou could tell that Mayor Tang was smoking.

Tang Yi shook his head, touched Da Ya's little head, and said, "Don't choke this child. Passive smoking is more harmful."

Teacher Xiao Zhou said with a smile: "It's rare to see a leader with a public heart like you..." Then he realized that he was too relaxed and spoke freely. He picked up the checkers and said, "I'll go first!"

Tang Yi smiled and turned around, only to see that Chen Ke was in a daze, staring blankly at his hand touching Da Ya's little head. A long, long time ago, she once liked the warmth brought by this hand...

Tang Yi was slightly startled, then slowly retracted his hand, coughed slightly, and picked up the checkers to move.

While playing checkers and asking about things at Daya School, Chen Ke also chatted quietly with Teacher Xiao Zhou. Teacher Xiao Zhou was very interested in the work of the Procuratorate and asked long and short questions, but Chen Ke took the trouble to answer every question.

As he spoke, Tang Yi stretched his feet under the table, but he touched a soft and cold little foot. Tang Yi was slightly startled, and immediately knew that it was Chen Ke's foot. Chen Ke sat down hugging his knees.

A pair of beautiful feet had just reached the bottom of the table, but his own feet were stretched too far.

Tang Yi wanted to retract his feet, but by some mistake, both feet stretched out and clamped Chen Ke's cold feet, using the heat from the soles of his feet to bring her warmth. Tang Yi could feel that Chen Ke's two beautiful feet

It tightened for a moment, but did not move, letting Tang Yi clamp it with both feet.

Tang Yi looked up and saw Chen Ke looking sideways at him while talking to Teacher Xiao Zhou, with no expression on his face.

In the first game, it was Daya who won. Naturally, all three of them gave in to her. It was the first time for Daya to play. She cheered happily after winning the game and placed the chess pieces excitedly. Teacher Xiao Zhou said with a smile: "This is

I won’t let you play, so don’t cry if you lose.”

In the second set, Tang Yi spoke less, because he gradually felt that the feeling of his feet under the table seemed to be getting more and more wrong. At first, Tang Yi subconsciously wanted to give Chen Ke's cold feet some warmth, but

As time goes by, something strange

A feeling of excitement came to mind, especially at the beginning, Tang Yi's feet slowly rubbed against Chen Ke's feet. The smooth and soft soles of Tang Yi's feet were itchy and crispy. When he suddenly woke up, Tang Yi's feet could not help but

He dared to move again and wanted to shrink back, but he was a little reluctant to let go.

At this time, Teacher Xiao Zhou suddenly asked: "Mayor Tang, are your feet cold? Do you want a quilt to cover them?"

Tang Yi hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "The earthen bed is quite warm." He moved his body and took the opportunity to retract his feet. He secretly glanced at Chen Ke, but saw that Chen Ke still had no expression. Tang Yi sighed inwardly.

, I don’t know how she feels about herself now. Thinking about it, I don’t seem to have a positive image in front of her except at the beginning. He even “molested” her when he was in danger, but he was not married at that time, and the situation at that time

, whether he can't help himself or whether a man's nature is good, he can still justify it. At most, she thinks that she is a bit lewd. Today, her actions will probably make her despise. Will she feel that she is already married, but not

He knew that he loved himself, but he still wanted to take advantage of her, but he was too lazy to take care of himself because of his face. He was full of energy and visited a few households of mountain residents before leaving. However, Teacher Xiao Zhou and Chen Ke were obviously wilted.

On the way back to Anton, Chen Ke took Tang Yi's car. Before getting off from Hope Elementary School, Tang Yi had revealed to Director Wu Heng and Huang that he and Chen Ke were old colleagues. Wu Heng and Director Huang were both going there.

I need to do something in Kuancheng.

Chen Ke naturally took Tang Yi's car. When Chen Ke leaned on the seat, opened his mouth and yawned widely, Tang Yi couldn't help laughing: "She has become an iron lady, and she still acts like a child.

Yeah, not paying attention to image at all."

Chen Ke turned his head and looked outside the car.

Tang Yi felt embarrassed and thought for a while and said: "Ah, I have something to ask you for help. A friend of mine got into some trouble and was charged with intentional injury. I'll tell you about the case. Take a look.

How can I help him?"

Junzi slowly pulled the car over and said, "I'll go down and smoke a cigarette."

Looking at Jun Zi smoking at the front of the car, Chen Ke, who had always had a straight face, suddenly laughed and said, "The traffic police won't come to check you again in a while, right?"
