At this moment, I saw a middle-aged man and woman walking out of the gate with a girl.

"Hey! Xiaolu is back?" the middle-aged woman said.

Qin Lu greeted her with a smile: "Uncle Fang, Aunt Li, are you here? Are you leaving now?"

"We've been here for a while, yo! Xiao Ning is here too!" The middle-aged woman looked at Liu Ning.

"Aunt Li, Uncle Fang, Xiao Min." Liu Ning greeted them with a smile.

"Sister Xiao Ning, are you going home this Sunday?" the girl came to Liu Ning and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Min, sister will come back. Will Xiao Min come with her parents?"

"Sister Xiaoning, I want to tell you a secret when the time comes."

"Well! Okay, sister Xiaoning is waiting to hear Xiaomin's secret. Uncle Fang and Aunt Li, these are my brother and my sister-in-law, and these are brother Haiyang and sister Xiaohong."

"Sister Xiao Ning, I have met this big brother and this big sister." The girl said at the side, pointing at Liu Yan and Fan Lili.

"Oh! Where has Xiao Min met Big Brother and Big Sister?" Liu Ning asked.

"A few months ago, it was also at this door."

"Haha! That's right! I happened to take Xiaoyan and Lili to the train station that day, and when I was leaving, I met Uncle Fang's family." Qin Lu said to Liu Ning.

Liu Yan took Fan Lili's hand, walked to Xiang Ran and Li Zishu, nodded to the middle-aged man and woman and said, "Hello!"

Fang Ran stretched out his hand and said: "It's Liu Yan and Fan Lili, I heard Minister Qin and Director Yue mention you many times, we meet again."

"Yes! What a coincidence! We met at the gate twice, and we came and went in a hurry." Liu Yan said with a smile.

"Haha! This is called not being a family, not entering the same house." Xiangran held Liu Yan's hand and continued: "I believe we still have a chance to meet."

When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately remembered what Qin Lu had said before, smiled knowingly, and nodded.

Li Zishu on the side held Fan Lili's hand tightly: "It's time for us to leave. You are tired after riding the train all day. Go home and have a good rest!"

Liu Yan and Fan Lili watched Xiang Ran's family leave and followed the group into the gate.

Seeing their son and wife come back, the old couple couldn't close their mouths with joy.

Yue Min pulled Liu Yan sadly and said, "Hey, son! I haven't seen you for more than four months. How are you like this?"

Then, he wiped the corners of his eyes: "Old Qin, look at your precious son. He has become dark and thin."

"Mom, it's nothing. Look, Haiyang is similar to me. Look at the scar on his head..."

Seeing this, Qin Huaiguo pointed to some rattan sofas in the yard: "Come, all four of you, sit down and talk to me about your work. What have you done?"

Then she said to Qin Lu: "Xiao Lu, you work in the Ministry of Agriculture. Come and listen. Let Xiao Ning accompany your mother."

…

That night, after dinner at Qin's house, Liu Ning was about to go back to school: "Brother, sister-in-law, we are busy with work. You should take care of yourselves and don't be too tired!"

"Don't worry! Remember to call your parents often when you have time," Liu Yan said.

The brother and sister hugged each other, and Liu Ning reluctantly got into the car.

After watching the car disappear, the group of people walked in the direction of Yang's house.

…

The next morning, under the leadership of Qin Lu, four people came to the Ministry of Agriculture and visited Liu Jiang, deputy director of the Development Planning Department.

When Liu Jiang saw the four people, he jokingly said: "Look at you young people, you didn't want to stay in Yanjing, so you had to go to the poor mountains and ravines.

Look at you, you are all dark and thin, Honghong, have you suffered?"

"Uncle Liu, we are not meant to enjoy happiness. We are all people who like to make troubles."

"Girl, you have gone through so much trouble and you still talk so harshly. Don't your parents feel sorry for you?"

"Hey! My parents never feel sorry for me, they just like to see me risk my life like a tomboy.

By the way! Uncle Liu, my dad said that since you work in the Ministry of Agriculture, you should visit places like Huaining more often when you have time, instead of staying in the capital and big cities."

"Haha, you two, father and daughter, are so talkative. That's what I said. It's been more than ten years since your dad changed his career. You should find an opportunity to invite some old comrades in Yanjing to visit him.

Okay! I have a meeting later, let’s get down to business!”

"Uncle Liu, if nothing else, we just hope that the Ministry of Agriculture can consider the actual difficulties and development needs of Yuqing County and Boxing County, and provide certain support from the perspective of poverty alleviation work."

With that said, Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang reported and explained the situation of county road construction to Liu Jiang respectively.

"Well, last weekend, Liao Kaiming and Wang Lifeng, I and I went to Political Commissar Yang's house, and Political Commissar Yang told us about this.

Don’t worry! From the Ministry of Agriculture, we will support you with poverty alleviation funds.

But not much, at most only 10% of the total investment in road projects.

Put these materials here with me, and after the meeting I will ask the relevant departments to go through the internal process first, and the money can be transferred in as little as a week."

"Thank you Uncle Liu!"

"Don't be polite to me, I can't write two Lius in one sentence. Are you right?!" Liu Jiang said to Liu Yan: "The Ministry of Agriculture is not rich either, so it can only do its best. I hope you understand.

The big head still has to look at your Uncle Liao and Uncle Wang. Remember to make an appointment with you this afternoon!"

Pei Xiaohong said: "Remember! Uncle Liu, you still have a meeting, so we won't disturb you. I'll leave the 10% to you!"

"Don't worry! My temper is the same as your father's. I act resolutely and do what I say."

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Lu and a group of people visited Liao Kaiming, deputy director of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Ministry of Transport, and Wang Lifeng, deputy director of the Highway Department.

We submitted the design plan of the County Highway Bureau, the review opinions of the Municipal Highway Bureau, and the Provincial Department of Transportation, as well as the approval opinions of the county government, Huaining Municipal Government, and Jiangning Provincial Government on highway construction.

"Uncle Liao and Uncle Wang hope that the ministry can provide certain financial support for the construction of these two county roads."

"You little girl, you have such a sweet mouth. Don't worry! We will have a meeting to discuss tomorrow morning. You haven't left so soon, have you?"

"We want to go back as soon as possible, but we have to get accurate information before we can go back and explain to the leaders! We have been out for a week, and there are still a lot of things going on in the county."

"Okay! Let's go as fast as we can. Where do you live?"

"We all live at home in Dongcheng District."

"I'll give you news the day after tomorrow at the latest, so don't come here. If there's any news, we'll call and report to Political Commissar Yang."

"Remember, go back and say hello to your parents!"

"Okay! I'll go to Huaining with Uncle Liu if I have the chance."

At noon on the third day after arriving in Yanjing, Liu Yan and Fan Lili were at home when they received a call from Qin Huaiguo from the ministry: "Lao Yang just told me that special funds from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Communications have been approved! The Ministry of Agriculture 10%, the Ministry of Communications

20%."

"Dad, we will go buy train tickets later and return to Ningcheng tomorrow. Please take us with you. Thank you Uncle Yang."

"Leaving tomorrow? Tomorrow happens to be Sunday, and Xiao Ning is coming back. Why don't you stay one more day?"

"Dad, I also want to stay a few more days, but there are too many things going on in Jiangning!"

"Okay! Let's talk about it when we go home tonight."

...

After buying the train ticket back to Ningcheng, Liu Yan immediately reported to Tan Bin on the phone the situation of the province and Yanjing trip: "Jiangning Province 10%, Ministry of Agriculture 10%, Ministry of Transportation 20%, there is still a difference.

60%.

Vice Mayor Tan, could you think of a way from the city's finances to see if you can support it a little bit? Even if..."

Before Liu Yan finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Liu Yan.

I only heard him say on the other end of the phone: "Don't even think about it! Huaining City's finances are very difficult. It's not that you don't know that you can't get a penny out of it.

The remaining 60% of the project construction funds can only be raised by you, both from the county and the commune."

"Deputy Mayor Tan! You and I both know the situation in the county. There is money there! The commune is even more poor."

"It's useless to talk nonsense. Let me tell you Liu Yan, it's useless to go to the leaders of Yanjing to intercede.

I don't accept this kind of thing. In principle, it's useless for anyone to intercede on matters.

After taking care of you and Haiyang, what about other projects? Do I still want to be the deputy mayor?"

"Deputy Mayor Tan, you can't just be the boss of this matter, right?"

"Liu Yan, it's not like you don't know Yuanyuan's mother's temper. When she was in the Yongfeng County Finance Bureau, she was known to be stingy.

After coming to the Huaining Municipal Finance Bureau, I tightened my grip even tighter!"

"Deputy Mayor Tan, please give her another chance!"

"It's useless! She has warned me about this matter a long time ago, saying that no matter how important the child's affairs are, she should not let go of anything when it comes to money.

Huaining now has many places to spend money. At this time, every place is important.

If you open these two holes, what will happen to the other holes? People will point at my spine!"

Putting down the phone, Liu Yan looked at Zhou Haiyang with a frustrated look on his face: "You have heard it, right? Even if you and Xiaohong's father come forward, it will be useless.

Sorry, I really have no choice! Yuanyuan's father said it, and Yuanyuan's mother said it first. Let us find a way ourselves."
