The mayor led us to a fortune

Chapter 21 Mayor Qiao, you are so cute!
After returning from the field, Qiao Xin took everyone to the village school to watch the children in class.

There are only two private teachers in their 50s in the three dilapidated mud tile houses, one teaches Chinese and the other teaches mathematics.

English, physical education, and painting are subjects that cannot be taught by these two aunt-level farmers.

There are three classrooms and three grades, with a total of 26 children, and two teachers take turns teaching them.

After finishing the third grade, these children have to walk seven kilometers every day to go to a regular elementary school outside the mountain.

It was lunch time at this time, and the children each held a bowl and waited in line for the teacher to distribute the meal. Their lunch consisted of a bowl of rice and a dried salted radish.

It is late autumn now, and most of the children are still barefoot and wearing thin clothes.

Xiao Rui and the staff of the research team were all dumbfounded.

He Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "It is already the 21st century, and there are still such poor and backward rural areas?"

Qiao Xin: "The rural living conditions in remote mountainous areas are the same, so our task is very arduous. We must find projects in the shortest possible time to guide and support the villagers here to start businesses, so that they can get rid of poverty and move to the outside of the mountain to build houses as soon as possible."

He Xiaoxiao: "Let the villagers live in tents outside the mountains first, and then we will support them to start businesses. What can they do living in this ravine?"

Qiao Xin couldn't help yelling at her: "Don't forget that these villagers are not ordinary villagers. If they have a comfortable place to live, they will have no motivation to start a business."

He Xiaoxiao was speechless by Qiao Xin, and pretended to walk aside with her mobile phone to make a call.

In the evening, everyone lived in the old house of the village chief. This was the only two-story building in the village. Although the walls were mottled and the paint was seriously peeled off, and the ceiling showed signs of water seepage, it was much better than those crumbling mud houses.

At this time, Qiao Xin was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiao Rui helped her light the fire.

Seeing Qiao Xin chopping bones and cutting meat swiftly, Xiao Rui couldn't help asking:
"Mayor Qiao, do people with sharp mouths work better?"

"Mayor Xiao, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Let's not talk about this anymore. I think you are very economical. What kind of projects do you think we should develop in this village?" Qiao Xin said while cooking.

Xiao Rui looked at her eagerly and said, "You think highly of me, don't you?"

Qiao Xin rolled her eyes and answered the wrong question: "Do you know that your ruffian expression doesn't fit your image?"

"Pfft~ Mayor Qiao, you are so cute!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Qiao Xin's face turned red.

He Xiaoxiao, who was hiding at the door and peeping at them, had a cold look in his eyes with jealousy.

She felt that if she didn't confess her love to Xiao Rui, Qiao Xin would hook Xiao Rui away.

Angry and impatient, she decided to ask Xiao Rui to go for a walk in the village after dinner.

Who knew that when she was about to go to Xiao Rui after dinner, she saw Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui each carrying a big hatchet and said they wanted to go up the mountain to find wild fruits.

He Xiaoxiao was extremely contradictory. She wanted to go with them, but felt that it was awkward for three people to go together. If she didn't go, she missed another opportunity.

Just when she finished debating and decided to follow, she couldn't find Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui.

At this moment, the two were trotting up the mountain.

Qiao Xin: "Hurry up, it will be dark and the mountains will be very eerie."

Xiao Rui ran after Qiao Xin: "Don't you know Taekwondo? What are you afraid of? By the way, are you sure there are really wild lemons and olives on this mountain?"

Qiao Xin: "Sure! I've seen it before. The old people here will use traditional handmade dried olives and lemon curd."

Xiao Rui: "Tell the villagers to make large batches, and then we will help them sell them online!"

Qiao Xin's eyes lit up: "I have a solution, we help them sell souvenirs through e-commerce."
