After being reported by Zhang Wei and several influential newspapers, Hailang Village suddenly became popular. Many tourists, especially out-of-towners, drove here to take photos and enjoy the natural snow scenery. Yang Sheng's "Yang's Tavern" was even a customer.

In Yingmen, many people have vacated their houses for tourists to live in, but the supply still exceeds the demand.

Guo Dingshou was so happy that his face burst into laughter, and he couldn't help but praise Li Yuanlang: "Secretary Li, if it weren't for the external publicity of you and Reporter Zhang, how would such a good thing happen in the village? To tell you the truth, big guys now

My hands cramp even when I count the money.”

"As long as everyone has money in their pockets, those of us who are cadres will be considered qualified. However, Party Secretary Guo can make money, but I want to tell everyone to make money with conscience, and don't be like Xue Xiang, who is ruthlessly robbing customers."

"Absolutely. Please rest assured on this. I, Guo Dingshou, will never allow anything to smear the image of the village to happen on any given day."

Li Yuanlang encountered trouble in Hanjiatun. The cause of the trouble had nothing to do with Hanjiatun. It happened at Hanjiatun Elementary School and was caused by Leng Yinghua.

But it is by no means a bad thing, it can be said to be a happy event. Leng Yinghua passed the postgraduate entrance examination at Donghe Normal University in the provincial capital through self-study. Because she needed to be off work for two years, the school only had three faculty members, including Principal Han's wife.

If she left, the school would already have a shortage of teachers, and Principal Han would not be able to handle the workload alone, so Leng Yinghua secretly hid after receiving the admission notice and did not plan to study for a graduate degree.

Later, Principal Han found out about this and forced her to go to school. Leng Yinghua refused to say anything. Firstly, the school was short of people, and secondly, she was really affectionate for the children and was reluctant to leave them alone.

When Li Yuanlang came, Principal Han was earnestly persuading Leng Yinghua and told Li Yuanlang the whole story.

Like Principal Han, Li Yuanlang also disagreed with Leng Yinghua's behavior. He said that it was so difficult to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and it would be a pity not to study after he finally passed the examination.

Leng Yinghua said very stubbornly: "Secretary Li, it's not that I don't miss it. I also know what being a graduate student means to me. But you see, the children's expectant eyes and desire for knowledge. They need me.

, I really can’t live without them.”

Li Yuanlang solemnly said: "Teacher Leng, I admire you very much for your integrity. But have you ever thought about it? If you don't study, it will not only be a loss for you, but also a loss for the education industry. The country needs talents like you and needs you.

Pass on more knowledge to the next generation. You can go without worry, I will find a way to rearrange a teacher here, which will never delay the children's need for knowledge, so that this matter can achieve the best of both worlds."

"Really?" Leng Yinghua didn't seem to believe it. Who would be willing to come to such a poor place as Hanjiatun?

"It's true. I guarantee it with my personality." Li Yuanlang said sonorously and forcefully: "I have already told Director Hu of the Education Office to convert you and Principal Han's wife into public teachers. From now on, teachers in all villages

, and the term private teachers will no longer appear.”

Principal Han was excited, and Leng Yinghua even had a blush on her cheeks. This Secretary Li is different from the original township leaders of Shuiming Township. He has done many real good things since he took office. For example, Hanjiatun Primary School, the newly built

The school building, the newly installed radiators, and these teaching instruments and equipment were all made without Secretary Li's care and personal supervision.

"Secretary Li, with your guarantee, I agreed. I will register after the new year. When I return from my studies, I will definitely return to Shuiming Township and Hanjiatun Primary School to continue serving the children."

"I'm waiting for that day." Li Yuanlang's tough big hands and Leng Yinghua's tender hands like lotus roots were clasped together.

Time flies. It’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. Li Yuanlang accompanied his father, Li Yizhao. He took his father home and cooked a few of his father’s favorite dishes. He had a reunion dinner with his father, talked and told

News of his own engagement to Shui Tingyue.

Dad was so excited that although he couldn't speak, he kept nodding his head. He also made gestures with his good hand, which meant urging Li Yuanlang to marry Shui Tingyue quickly so that he could see his grandson as soon as possible.

After dinner, Li Yuanlang watched the Spring Festival Gala with his father. He said he was watching TV, but he didn't stop for a moment. He called Jin Sheng, Wang Zumin, Zheng Haiyang, He Yongzhi and other county leaders one by one to wish them a happy New Year.

At the same time, Ji Tianhou, Shao Wanyou, Zhang Quanlong and others also called Li Yuanlang to wish each other New Year greetings. In addition, Shuiming Xiang and other leadership team members, Zhang Guorui, Chang Ming,

Gao Canru, Li Wei, Yuan Chunqiu, Fan Gang and others all called him one after another.

Even though the control over gift-giving during the Spring Festival is very strict, village cadres such as Xin Minghao, Han Zhongwang, Ma Zesheng and Guo Dingshou Yangsheng found out that at Li Yuanlang’s father’s house, they all brought a lot of mountain products in large and small bags on the morning of their thirties.

It was his own property that was worthless, so he insisted on Li Yuanlang accepting it no matter what.

Li Yuanlang couldn't resist, so he had to give them something of equal value in return. He wouldn't accept anything if they didn't agree.

After making a round of phone calls, Li Yuanlang hesitated and finally called Su Fangwan. Her father had just passed away not long ago, and her brother had gone to who knows where. He was unaccompanied in the county. Li Yuanlang was worried that she would be too lonely to spend the New Year alone.

Fortunately, Su Fangwan was with her classmates. Hearing a man's voice coming from the phone, Li Yuanlang was inconvenient to ask more questions, but he became worried after hanging up the phone.

& nb bsp; He didn't have no idea about Su Fangwan, but he didn't want to hurt her. And he was also afraid. Once he was contaminated, it was not good for him to Su Fangwan.

Forget it, don't think about her anymore. If she really finds her other half, it wouldn't be a good thing.

After that, Li Yuanlang had a phone call with his sister Ye Qingrou and told her that he would rush to the capital in two days to hold an engagement ceremony at the Gu family. Ye Qingrou was extremely surprised after hearing this and said that she would definitely attend and give it to her future sister-in-law.

A very special gift. As for what it was, she answered with a smile in two words: Keep it secret.

My father is in poor health. His sister can only attend the meeting, which makes me sad just thinking about it. Compared with the entire Gu family, my side is really too weak.

The last moment before going to bed was, of course, reserved for Shui Tingyue. Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue talked on the phone for a long time, and they agreed to meet up at the Guangnan Airport the day after tomorrow and rush to the capital together.

.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuanlang prepared some gifts, which were all local specialties he asked Han Wei to buy. They were not worth much. He went to Jin Sheng, Wang Zumin, He Yongzhi, Zheng Haiyang and other county leaders to pay New Year greetings. Generally speaking, New Year greetings

They all chose after the second day of the Lunar New Year. Because Li Yuanlang was going to the capital, he had to advance to the first day of the Lunar New Year.

When talking and chatting with these leaders, Li Yuanlang did not hide anything. Anyway, everyone knew about his engagement and received everyone's congratulations.

No one else mentioned it, just Zheng Haixin. Knowing the news that Li Yuanlang was getting engaged, he raised his eyebrows and said tastefully: "Don't think about your Wenwen Township all day. Let me ask you, I will let you choose a house for me."

Have you chosen the location of the factory?"

Li Yuanlang chuckled and said, "How can I not take Miss Zheng's matter to heart? I have chosen it for you a long time ago. It is right next to the township government. The area is open and close to the main road. Transportation is very convenient.

"

"Okay, I'll go take a look after the Chinese New Year and do some on-the-spot investigation. Let me tell you, if you dare to fool me, I will make you look good." Zheng Haixin raised her pink fist in a serious manner and waved it in front of Li Yuanlang's eyes.

Shake.

Li Yuanlang asked in confusion: "What's your opinion? Do you want to give me a beauty treatment? I'm not ugly to begin with."

"Stop being narcissistic." Zheng Haixin curled her lips and said, "If you dare to lie to me, I will say..."

"What did you say?" While the two were chatting, Zheng Haixin was washing the tea sets in the kitchen, and there was no one else around. Li Yuanlang became bolder and dared to speak without any scruples.

"Just say, just say you have a crush on me." Zheng Haixin smiled, but Li Yuanlang was frightened. "Pfft!" The sip of water he had just taken into his mouth spurted out.

Zheng Haixin laughed so hard that her flower branches trembled wildly, and her sizable and proud bust trembled non-stop, scurrying up and down.

It's too scary. If Shui Tingyue knew this, he wouldn't be torn apart. Zheng Haixin, what are you thinking about? You are committing murder, do you know?

After visiting the county leaders, Li Yuanlang asked Ji Tianhou to take him to Feng Yiduo's house.

Feng Yiduo retired at home to take care of his old age, with his children and grandchildren around his knees, fully enjoying the joy of retirement life.

Seeing that the two men who were young men back then have now become township leaders in charge, the old man felt very happy.

I asked them about their respective work conditions and gave them some suggestions. Let them work hard, think more about the people, and do things for the people. For no other reason, just have a clear conscience.

And he left Li Yuanlang to have a meal at home, and Ji Tianhou kept him company. He drank some liquor, and the day passed in a flash.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuanlang sent his father to a nursing home to settle down. He said goodbye to his father and drove to Guangnan City.

The flight was at 11 noon. Li Yuanlang drove directly to the airport and met Shui Tingyue and her family in the VIP terminal.

Not many people came to see him off. After all, there were only Liu Benjie, secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Huang Liwei, Shui Qingzhang's secretary, and Zheng Zheng who were celebrating the New Year.

Xu Zhongde went back to his hometown in the countryside to celebrate the New Year, so he didn't come, so he sent a solemn representative to send Shui Qingzhang on his behalf before setting off.

Everyone was old acquaintances, and they greeted each other and exchanged a few words after meeting. Gu Hongyan was as indifferent to Li Yuanlang as ever, and Li Yuanlang was used to it anyway. As long as Shui Tingyue was nice to him, that was enough.

Huang Liwei, Zheng Zheng and Li Yuanlang are all brothers, and their relationship is naturally warm. It's just not convenient to overdo it. They can just smile and understand each other tacitly.

When no one was paying attention, Zheng Zheng made a joke in Li Yuanlang's ear by saying something dirty: "Brother, when you come back from the capital, will you be pregnant with little Li Yuanlang?"

"It's not formal." Li Yuanlang gently elbowed Zheng Zheng, while Huang Liwei on the side suppressed a smile, but it was just a bad smile.

He was very grateful to Li Yuanlang. Since the last time they had a heart-to-heart talk, Shui Qingzhang's attitude towards him had changed a lot. He even had an in-depth talk with him and gave him reassurance.

Li Yuanlang must have helped, and Huang Liwei was extremely grateful for this.
