The two drove to Hexing Village, the most remote Yangdianzi Township. The roads were all dirt roads, and the pits were bumpy and difficult to walk. Luoliche drove very slowly. Even so, it took more than an hour to arrive.

Luo Li parked his car at the entrance of the village and got out of the car. It was almost noon.

Lin Shi and Luo Li walked around the village along the village road. Most of them were earthen houses, and few of them had brick and tile structures. Their appearance attracted the villagers to come out of the house, not knowing where strangers came from.

Lin Shi saw a little girl with pigtails at the door of the family. She squatted down and smiled and said to the girl: "Little boy, how old are you?"

The little girl said timidly: "Eight years old!"

"Have you read?"

"not yet?"

Lin Shi touched the little girl's head: "Why didn't you go to study?"

Before the little girl could speak, an old man walked out of the yard, holding a dry tobacco in her hand, and shouted: "Yadan, come back!"

When the little girl heard the call, she ran back to the yard without looking back.

Lin Shi stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle, can we go in and sit down and talk to you a few words?"

"Where did you come from and what do you do?"

Luo Li continued: "Uncle, we are from Fengyuan City. I am a small boss of a private enterprise. I want to develop farmers to grow cash crops. She is my girlfriend. Let's investigate the situation in the countryside. Are you willing to talk to us about the situation in the village?"

Lin Shi gave Luo Li a blank look. This guy actually took advantage of her. He was so bold!

Luo Liquan pretended not to see this guy, even a county magistrate, he dared to tease him.

The old man glanced at the two of them, sniffed the dry tobacco, and then said, "Come in!"

Luo Li made a call, Lin Shi walked up to the front and whispered: "You are so brave!"

Luo Li said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you offended me!" He didn't have the word offense in his heart.

The two followed the old man into the house.

Lin Shi asked, "Master, what do you call me?"

The old man said: "My surname is Ma, and I am the village party secretary of this village. Are you really the city doing business?"

Lin Shi didn't expect that the old man was actually a village cadre. She smiled: "It turns out that you are the village party secretary of Hexing Village, so you are disrespectful!"

Secretary Ma said: "You don't seem to be doing business!"

Lin Shi smiled: "What do you think I'm doing?"

"You are an official!" Secretary Ma's eyes were very vicious. "I am a very accurate person. You don't have the kind of philanthropy like a businessman. You can't tell me that you are talking and sitting. You can't deceive me!"

Lin Shi did not hide it from Secretary Ma. She smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, your eyes are so vicious. Yes, I am not a businessman, he is not my boyfriend, he is my driver!"

Lin Shi corrected Luo Li’s introduction just now. Luo Li said it was her boyfriend. She was so good that she directly defined Luo Li as the driver. This woman has a strong desire to take revenge.

Secretary Ma said: "I have seen a long time ago that he is worthy of you. He is not a person on the same road at all!"

Luo Li: "a##￥a#￥…a…a…”

Lin Shi held back her laughter and glanced at Luo Li. Seeing the guy's expression, she forced her smile.

Secretary Ma said: "Then you are the leader of the city? Why are you here to our Hexing Village? Here is so poor that you can jingle. What's the beauty of it?"

Lin Shi said: "Old Party Secretary, I won't hide it from you. I am the new county magistrate of our Sha County. My name is Lin Shi. I haven't officially taken office yet. I came to you just to see the real situation in our Sha County rural areas!"

"What? Are you the county magistrate?"

Secretary Ma was so scared that he dropped the dry tobacco on the ground and widened his eyes. The county magistrate was too young, and the heaviest thing was that he was so beautiful!

Lin Shi bent down and helped Secretary Ma pick up the dry tobacco. Secretary Ma hurriedly took it over.

"County Magistrate Linlin, please leave quickly. Look, I am a little dirty here. You can sit down. Do you want me to notify the village?"

Lin Shi smiled and said, "Secretary Ma, don't be reserved, and don't tell the village that I'm here this time, no one knows. I just want to see the real situation in the rural areas of our Sha County. Our Sha County is a poor county and the farmers are not rich. As parents, I am really anxious. I really want to bring our people to prosperity. We are like chatting about family matters today. Don't be reserved, say whatever you want!"

Secretary Ma recovered his emotions at this time. He whipped a mouthful of dry tobacco to relieve his emotions.

"Well, County Magistrate Lin, what do you want to hear?"

Lin Shi said: "You, don't call me the county magistrate, just call me my name, Lin Shi!"

"This is not good!"

"What's wrong with it? Secretary Ma, how many years have you been the branch secretary of this village?"

"It's been almost twenty years!"

Secretary Ma squirted a cigarette, "I have been the branch secretary of the village since the production team, and it has been almost twenty years."

"You have done a lot these days. Over the years, our village has changed a lot, right?"

"It's still true. In the past, when the production team was eating big pot rice, few of them could eat enough food. Later, land contracting and co-production contracting responsibility system were established. The land was distributed to farmers, and everyone could eat enough food. There were really no ones who couldn't eat enough food. There were more than 800 people in our village, and no one was hungry, and the worst thing was that they could eat enough!"

Lin Shi smiled and said, "After the reform and opening up, do you think the village has changed a lot?"

Secretary Ma said: "There are many people going out in the village, and some people make money. Young people like to go out. For those of me, they don't want to go out. Many young people don't want to come back when they go out. It's easy to make money in the city. Digging food in the ditches makes you unable to get home!"

Lin Shi nodded and chatted with Secretary Ma for a while. The old secretary gradually let go. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said everything.

What Lin Shi wanted was this effect. Secretary Ma was the old secretary. From the production brigade to the reform and opening up, he had the most thorough understanding of the changes in the countryside. The two of them had a chat for two hours.

Luo Libai was chatting with a rogue. He went around the yard and started playing games with Yadan. When he got back to the car, he took some snacks for the little girl, and made the little girl giggle.

When Lin Shi came out of the room, she saw Luo Li and the little girl playing with stone scissors and cloth, and she was speechless!

Luo Li smiled and said, "Sister Lin, Secretary Ma, have you finished chatting?"

Lin Shi said: "I learned a lot of things with Secretary Ma, and it's time for us to leave!"

Secretary Ma said, "Daughter, just eat and leave before leaving. Why are you anxious?" The two chatted very thoroughly and became familiar with each other now. The old secretary even used the word "daughter", which shows that Lin Shi treats the masses from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Shi smiled and said, "Secretary Ma, next time, next time I come here, I will definitely have dinner at your house. I am in a hurry this time, and there are other things to do, so, I won't eat here this time, you always include it!"

Secretary Ma said: "Daughter, you are such a good leader. With a leader like you in Sha County, we will definitely be able to achieve a well-off life!"

After saying goodbye to the old branch secretary, the two got into the car. Luo Li drove the car and smiled at Lin Shi in the back seat, saying, "Sister Lin, I have been chatting with the old branch secretary for so long. What enlightenment and help do you have?"

Lin Shi said: "It is indeed not easy for farmers to be rich. I have learned a lot of first-hand materials. I am a little confused. I have to think about it when I go back!"

Luo Li smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing to think about. The three rural issues are related to national quality, national economy and people's livelihood, economic development, and social stability."

"etc"

Lin Shi interrupted Luo Li: "Three Rural Areas, what you mean by the three rural areas"

Luo Li realized that at this time, the country had not formally proposed the concept of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers"!

Luo Li smiled and said, "The three rural areas, of course, refer to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers!"

Lin Shi chewed these three nouns and looked at Luo Li with something different in her eyes!
