Moreover, what he told his sister Li Qingqing was not a lie. To move up the ladder, you need money, but money alone is not enough. You need connections and background, which cannot be solved with just 20,000 yuan a year.

Moreover, if you make money in the stock market within the next year or two, you won't be short of money, and the higher the market goes, the less money you'll have for these meals and entertainment will be.

You won't need to spend your own money anymore.

Li Xiuyuan chatted with his parents for a while before returning to his room to rest.

The next morning, after getting up and tidying up, Li Xiuyuan drove directly to Meilin Village. He had some spare clothes in the trunk of his car, as he might have to spend the night there.

I had never lived in Meilin Village before, but things will be different from now on. Su Ziying is coming, and I happen to have a lot of work to do in Meilin Village, so I will be staying here more often in the future.

Li Xiuyuan tidied up the duty room prepared for him in Meilin Village. In fact, Zhou Jianzhong had also approached him about renovating the teachers' dormitory, wanting to renovate Li Xiuyuan's dormitory as well.

But Li Xiuyuan rejected him. What a joke! His offer was already quite good.

Renovating teachers' dormitories is meant to improve teachers' living conditions. When higher-level leaders come to inspect, they can only say that the central town has done a good job in education. But what's the point of a deputy mayor living so comfortably in a village?

All you need is a secondhand wooden bed and two cotton quilts; the harsher the conditions, the better. Then compare that to the newly built rural areas.

The title will be ready by then: "An old bed carries a mission, and new houses fill the village with happiness - the deputy mayor is stationed in the village, and Meilin Village has taken on a new look."

After leaving the village, Li Xiuyuan arrived at the Heishui River site. The dredging work on the Heishui River was nearing completion. Zhou Jianzhong quickly came over and reported to Li Xiuyuan.

"Mayor Li, based on this progress, our project is expected to be completed two days ahead of schedule, by the end of May Day," Zhou Jianzhong said excitedly, even though the project is still ongoing.

However, the river water has become clearer and there is not much of a stench anymore. The clear water flowing by is refreshing to look at, and after the dredging, the water flow has obviously increased.

Of course, this is also related to the closure of Jinxin Coal Mine. Jinxin Coal Mine no longer uses water, which saves a lot of water. In addition, during the project, the backfilling and sealing of some water seepage points has significantly increased the water flow.

"Okay, Director Zhou, we need to be extra careful, especially at times like this. Safety first." Li Xiuyuan instructed.

Zhou Jianzhong nodded seriously.

"By the way, has the spring plowing work in the village been delayed?" Li Xiuyuan asked. Zhou Jianzhong nodded: "No, we take turns coming. Those who started spring plowing early have almost finished planting and come to work now. Those who started late have been relieved to go to spring plowing a couple of days ago..."

"That's good. Let's go upstream and take a look." Li Xiuyuan pointed to the distance and took the lead in walking along the upper reaches of the Blackwater River. In May, the spring sunshine was bright and the flowers were fragrant. The Blackwater River, which has been flowing for many years, should be renamed.

For example, the name "Happiness River" was personally chosen by Comrade Yun Yanchang, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and county head!
