Chapter 901: Irredeemable

up," said Sha Hai. 。"Xiao Zheng called Li Haiyan again and asked, "Is Mayor Xiao free today" Li Haiyan replied, "Mayor Xiao is free this morning, but at 2 pm she has a meeting to analyze issues relate..."Dinner is ready!" Old Man Bama said, "Everyone get ready to eat!" "I'll help!" Zhang Xiwen stood up from her stool and ran to the earthen stove, beside Grandma Ager, helping serve the dishes and rice. 。Xiao Zheng took a look at Zhang Xiwen, apparently someone who had become close with the common people!

In a short while, the dishes and rice were all on the table. There were four main courses: braised beef in jars, double smoked meat, pickled turnips, and wild mushrooms stew. The large bowls were filled with rice. 。The room only had a small table and stools that the two elderly people normally used. There wasn't enough space for so many people to sit down. 。Zhang Xiwen served everyone rice and said, "Leaders, please eat slowly," Then she also served Ag's grandmother and Ba Mo's uncle. She walked to the door, squatted down, and ate facing the mountain. 。Xiao Zheng felt a little awkward and walked out to ask, "Why are you eating while crouching" Zhang Xiwen smiled and said, "The Yi people often had to flee their homes in the past, and it was inconvenient to carry tables. The custom back then was to eat by squatting." 。Moreover, the Yi people are very hospitable and leave room at the table for friends. 。“Old man Bamuo said: 'Guests, we're just used to eating like this. You guys sit inside and eat slowly.'" 。"Hurry and come in for a meal, hurry!" Aunt Ag said. "We don't have much at home, eat it while it's hot, don't let the food get cold!"Xiao Zheng was touched and had to go back into the house. But after a while, Yu Dongnan, the director of the provincial geological bureau, walked out with Xiao Zheng. The rain had almost stopped. The two squatted down beside Zhang Xiwen, Aunt Ag, and Lao Han Bamuo, scooping up rice 。Zhang Xiwen smiled and asked, "Why are you all out here too" Yu Dongnan laughed and said, "Go with the flow!" Xiao Zheng said, "When I was a kid, we ate like this right outside our door too." 。Everyone laughed. 。Other people who were accompanying them also came out. Everyone lined up along the wall in the shape of a "one" and started eating. 。That jar of beef was marinated with Sichuan peppercorns and salt, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, incredibly delicious; the cured pork belly from the local pigs was firm and flavorful! While some people might enjoy delicacies in high-end restaurants in big cities, Xiao Zheng finds that this simple mountain meal is truly down-to-earth, warming to the heart. 。Yu Dongnan was also eating with gusto: "A Ge auntie, is there any more rice" A Ge auntie said: "There's plenty, we'll eat our fill today" 。Everyone laughed, and Yu Dongnan really went inside to get a big bowl of rice, a piece of cured pork belly, and several large chopsticks of pickled radish. He then sat down outside to eat. 。Xiao Zheng saw that he was also cute, and felt that Yu Dongnan was also a very emotional person. He suddenly said: "Secretary Gu Cuiping, you're divorced" 。Yu Dongnan was picking at his food. Hearing Xiao Zheng's words, he suddenly stopped his chopsticks, turned to Xiao Zheng, and stared intently: "What Did I just hear wrong" Xiao Zheng smiled at him and said: "You heard right" 。Gu Cuiping, the secretary, should have been divorced for several years. 。Yu Dongnan felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He wanted to run outside and shout at the mountain, but his identity wouldn't allow him to do so. He nodded and said to Xiao Zheng: "This marriage is over well!"

Zhang Xiwen, Ager, Bama, and some technicians from the technical team beside him all looked at him. 。Although they didn't know the "Gu Cuiping Secretary" that Xiao Zheng mentioned, since she was divorced, it seemed inappropriate for Yu Dongnan to say that her divorce was a good thing, right Yu Dongnan noticed this and hurriedly said to everyone: "We were just joking around, it has nothing to do with anyone else." 。“Everybody, eat! Eat!” Thus, everyone continued to eat their meal. 。But Xiao Zheng discovered that Yu Dongnan, while eating, tears streamed down his cheeks and fell into his rice bowl. 。He discreetly wiped away his tears and started eating voraciously. 。From those tears, Xiao Zheng instantly felt that this man loved deeply, but truly!

Xiao Zheng finished his meal, carried the bowls and chopsticks into the house, took a look at his phone, and found that the signal was surprisingly good. He casually sent a text message to Gu Cuiping: "Secretary Gu, I'm sorry, I let slip about your divorce, and Director Yu Dongnan found out!" Gu Cuiping replied quickly: "Too talkative, isn't it What does Yu Dongnan say" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile and replied: "A man weeps not lightly. Director Yu actually cried..." 。"Gu Cuiping replied again: "You made her cry" 。"Xiao Zheng said, “After I finish my mission, I will invite Director Yu to visit Ninggan and inspect the work." 。At that time, the old scholar will come forward to accompany you. 。"At that time, we'll see if I have time," Gu Cuiping said. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and then stopped replying. 。This matter has made some progress, I'll play matchmaker once the main event is over. 。。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but ask, "These cars..." At this moment, Zhang Xiwen's phone rang. She answered it and then said, "Yes, the technical personnel from the county's natural resources bureau just went up there." 。"Oh, we're finally here," said Xiao Zheng. 。"Director Yu, my team and I will go up first to assess the geological hazards. We have experience in this area." 。Yu Dongnan said: “Good, you go” 。Then, Tong Guorui took his team members and got into the off-road vehicle to quickly catch up. 。Others were waiting here for news. About an hour and a half later, Yu Dongnan received a call from Tong Guo Rui. Geologists had already made a judgment: as long as a digging machine came to clear the mountain road, there should be no problem for the time being, and it would be possible to pass through smoothly. 。Now, we just wait for the highway bureau to send a bulldozer. 。Because the road inside Mengshan is under the jurisdiction of the county transportation bureau, neither the township nor the village has the authority. Excavating with machinery all costs money, and how these expenses are accounted for is a problem. 。But the village head did come to the scene, but there was nothing he could do. Even if the village wanted to proactively dig the mud, they would have to call another excavator, and who knows when it would arrive. 。Thus, all they could do was wait. 。

After two more hours, the two excavators finally arrived. 。But the sky in the mountains had already darkened. 。The Ninggan Province Committee gave Xiao Zheng 10 days, and the second day is about to pass. 。To say that Xiao Zheng wasn't anxious at all would be impossible! However, Xiao Zheng also knew that to accomplish any important task, there would inevitably be some unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes, things wouldn't go smoothly. Sometimes, the only way forward was to wait, to solve the problems at hand, so patience was essential. 。As dusk settled in, at a wooden house about three kilometers from Mr. Bama and Mrs. Ag's place, fourteen people gathered. Some wore jeans, others camouflage fatigues; some had long hair, others shaved heads, some were short, their clothes and gazes equally chaotic. 。Of these people, 4 are locals, and another 10 are from the cloud-gui-xi region, but they all belong to one gang. 。His usual activities were dealing in narcotics. 。

Today they received a temporary task from their superiors. Led by four locals from Mount Meng, it took them three hours to get here. 。At this moment, a shaven-headed man with two grooves shaved out on the sides of his head, even in the gloomy evening, only wore a tight blue tank top. His biceps swelled so much that it stretched the sleeves of the tank top. 。He was passing out tiny packets, each about the size of his thumb, to the other thirteen people. Inside each packet was white powder. 。Their eyes shone like fire, catching some and missing others. Those who missed quickly went underground to pick them up. They opened their small bags and eagerly used their fingers to scoop up the powder and inhale it. 。Immediately, exciting and hallucinatory colors appeared before their eyes. Some people even groaned in pain and unimaginable pleasure. 。The man with two furrows shaved into his scalp shouted to the crowd: "After we finish this job today, next, we all go to Nan Yue to rest and recuperate for a year." 。This year, this white stuff, everyone has something to suck on every day. 。“Oh! Oh!” They all started shouting abnormally. 。 too shabby. 。She purposely chose this place, thinking she could avoid running into acquaintances. 。I never expected to see Mayor Hong here. 。Thinking again, Mayor Hong probably has the same idea as...
