Chapter 389 Arrival at Tieshan Village
When Su Mengyao was working in Dongsheng Village, she had seen some little kids without clothes in the summer, but she didn't think anything of it.
However, some people in the project team were shocked when they suddenly saw these children from the poor villages.
"Why are those children not wearing any clothes?" someone asked softly.
"At their age, they are the most naughty, and their clothes get torn very quickly. To save clothes, adults don't let them wear them."
Lu Ye walked among the project team and explained with a smile, "But generally, children know how to wear clothes after they turn five."
"Why do we have to be over 5 years old?" a woman asked out of curiosity.
"Because the children only realize how ugly it is to walk around naked when they grow up."
Hehe...everyone laughed when they heard this.
Sun Hong walked in front and soon met up with the township head and village cadres of Tieshan Village who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Director Wang, General Manager Shu, General Manager Lu, this is our Santaizi Township Chief Liu, and this is Tieshan Village Party Secretary Li. We in Mulan, from top to bottom, will give our full support to your visit this time." Sun Hong introduced to everyone.
"Hello, leaders. Welcome to our place to inspect our work." Village chief Liu said with a nod.
The old branch secretary, who was a bit old, had never seen such a world before. Looking at Lu Ye and the others, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say a word.
"County Magistrate Sun, let's find a place first for General Shu to have a rest. We can talk about work later." Lu Ye said to Sun Hong.
"it is good..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Hong turned his gaze to Village Chief Liu.
Township Chief Liu hurriedly said, "Let's go to the brigade headquarters first. Everything has been sorted out there. Leaders, go there and rest first."
"Lead the way."
The old branch secretary and Township Chief Liu walked in front, leading everyone to the brigade headquarters.
Lu Ye and the others followed behind and walked towards the village.
The villagers passing by seemed to have seen something very interesting. They hung behind their team not too far away, talking and laughing.
The brigade headquarters in Tieshan Village was several times more dilapidated than the brigade headquarters in Dongsheng Village where Lu Ye and his team lived.
Even the wall was so dilapidated that only half of it remained. The three adobe houses were even more dilapidated. The warehouse containing the production tools was also so dilapidated that there were cracks in the walls.
"Please come in, please come in quickly."
Secretary Li didn't speak until he walked into the yard of the brigade headquarters and greeted everyone.
Shu Tianqi was arranged to stay in the lounge of the team headquarters and lie on the big earthen kang in the countryside.
Although the bedding is a bit old, it is still clean.
"Dad, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Shu Wen stayed beside Shu Tianqi and asked anxiously.
"I feel much better now. Dad is fine."
"I never thought the roads here would be so bad. If we were to invest here, the road conditions would definitely be a problem. Without roads, we wouldn't be able to get machinery and equipment in."
Shu Tianqi said with some emotion.
"No wonder they have been planning this place for so long but haven't developed it yet." Shu Wen also sighed.
Along the way, Shu Wen finally had a concrete understanding of the so-called poverty and backwardness.
These were things she had never been exposed to before.
Those skinny and pale villagers made her feel like she was watching refugees on TV.
Seeing his daughter's worried look, Shu Tianqi smiled and said:
"Agricultural land is a very precious resource in any country. If this place weren't so backward, we wouldn't have the opportunity to invest in such a large farm."
"In fact, the situation here is much better than in many countries in Southeast Asia."
"For example, places like Lenan and Taiguo can't even reach this level in the countryside."
Shu's grain business covers many countries in Southeast Asia, and the main sources of rice are Lenan and Taiguo.
Therefore, Shu Tianqi has a better understanding of the situation in these two countries.
Shu Wen nodded when she heard that.
"Dad, you take a good rest first. I'll go out and take a look."
"okay."
After Shu Tianqi responded, he slowly closed his eyes and rested quietly.
Outside, Lu Ye and Su Mengyao were guarding the door. Seeing Shu Wen come out, Lu Ye asked, "How is President Shu?"
"It's getting better."
"Let him sleep quietly, he will get better faster." Lu Ye said softly.
The best treatment for motion sickness is to sleep and give your brain and organs enough rest.
"Yeah." Shu Wen nodded.
On the other side, Secretary Li and Township Head Liu were busy accommodating the project team members.
The space in the brigade headquarters is limited and cannot accommodate so many people.
There was no other way, so everyone had to be dispersed and some people had to live in the homes of local villagers.
Su Mengyao held Shu Wen's hand and said with a slight smile on her face:
"Tonight, we female comrades will stay here. We can spend time together. I've been to the countryside before, so I'm familiar with the situation there. If you have any questions, you can tell me."
Hearing this, Shu Wen looked at Su Mengyao in surprise: "Have you ever lived in the countryside?"
"Of course, I lived here for a long time." Su Mengyao said with a smile.
"Then you're quite powerful."
Shu Wen looked at Lu Ye: "We live here, what about you?"
"I and several male colleagues from the project team, along with Director Wang and County Magistrate Sun, went to stay at a fellow villager's home."
Lu Ye smiled and said, "The space here at the brigade headquarters is limited. The old branch secretary donated his rest room to General Shu, and the other room is just right for you female comrades."
"Is that so..." Shu Wen nodded.
The situation here is worse than Shu Wen had imagined.
Just as the three of them were talking, a cry of surprise suddenly came from not far away: "Ah~!"
A female member of the project team ran back from behind a wall, covering her mouth.
"This is...this is such a bad habit!" The woman ran back to the yard and shouted almost vomiting.
Seeing his expression, Lu Ye guessed why without asking.
"what happened?"
As Shu Wen's secretary, Mary was considered a manager in the project team. The first thing she did when she heard the voice was to walk up to the woman and ask hurriedly.
"I want to go to the bathroom, but there are bugs crawling everywhere. It's so disgusting." The woman whispered.
There are dry toilets in rural areas, so the situation is naturally not very good.
These people are all from Hong Kong and have never seen these things before, so it will be difficult for them to accept it for a while.
"The rural environment cannot compare to the city. There are some difficulties that we need to overcome." Lu Ye said softly.
Shu Wen frowned.
The situation here was far beyond her imagination.
Seeing this, Su Mengyao leaned over to Shu Wen and whispered something in her ear.
"Is this okay?" Shu Wen looked at Su Mengyao in surprise.
"Don't worry, I have experience in this matter." Su Mengyao said with a smile.
Lu Ye didn't know what Su Mengyao said to Shu Wen, he just saw the two of them laughing.
