On the soft and comfortable bed, the little boy Huang Jing rubbed the pillow, smacked his lips a few times, then slowly opened his eyes and saw Chen Hongmei sitting beside the bed.

"Are you awake?"

"Yeah." The little boy curled up in the quilt and didn't want to get up. In the rural southwest in winter, it really takes great courage to get up.

Chen Hongmei smiled and said, "Look where you are sleeping?"

The little boy shrank his neck and pulled the quilt around his neck tighter. "Sleeping on the bed."

"Whose bed?"

The little boy looked down in confusion, then suddenly sat up. His face turned pale with surprise, confusion, and finally fear. "Mom, what happened to me... I didn't mean it... you guys..."

"Okay! Lie down first." Chen Hongmei pushed him back onto the bed and covered him with the quilt.

Feeling the warm and comfortable touch and the light weight of her palm, she couldn't help but touch it a few more times, thinking that if she had money in the future, she would buy a quilt like this at least, which would satisfy her in winter.

The distracting thoughts flashed away, and she smiled as she picked up the little boy's clothes from the side and helped him put them on while saying, "Expert Xu said that if you want to sleep here, you can sleep here. It's okay."

The little boy snorted, "I won't sleep with him!"

Chen Hongmei smiled mischievously, "Then how did you climb up here last night?"

The little boy blushed, "I was looking for you guys."

Chen Hongmei scratched his nose and said, "Okay, get up. I'll boil some water for you to take a bath today. Don't make the bed dirty for Expert Xu."

Wrapped in layers of "onion skins", the little boy was warm but also bloated. He was led out by his mother, "Where's the old man?"

Chen Hongmei smiled and said, "Your husband has gone to the town to sell oranges, and Expert Xu has gone to the village committee to do some work."

The little boy pouted, "I didn't ask him!"

Chen Hongmei brought porridge and kimchi, and took an egg, "Okay, let's eat. Men, don't be so stingy! Didn't the other expert Xu give you a gift to apologize?"

The little boy turned his head and saw that the exquisite box was still lying on the cabinet intact.

He pursed his lips and started to eat rice silently.

......

Xu Jiyuan was sitting in the office of the Niujiao Village Committee.

This is an office that he alone has, a privilege only enjoyed by the village director and the village party secretary.

No matter what the people in Niujiao Village understand about experts and science and technology, since he was invited by Secretary Huo and was here to help them get rid of poverty and become rich, the village committee headed by Huang Youquan still gave him enough respect.

At 9:10, a village committee staff member knocked on the door and said, "Expert Xu, Committee Member Fan is here. The village chief asked me to invite you to the meeting."

"Oh, okay!"

Xu Jiyuan stood up and went to the meeting room with a stack of documents and work notebook.

In the meeting room, Qianfu Town Organization Committee Member Fan Fusheng, together with a town staff member, were sitting and chatting with a group of cadres from the Niujiao Village Committee. When they saw Xu Jiyuan coming in, Fan Fusheng stood up and greeted them enthusiastically. After a brief greeting, he pushed Xu Jiyuan to the main seat without saying a word.

"Village Chief Huang, let's start!" Fan Fusheng glanced at Huang Youquan.

Huang Youquan nodded and said, "First of all, I would like to thank the town committee and town government for their great efforts..."

Fan Fusheng interrupted directly: "Let's stop talking nonsense. Everyone here is ours. Let's get down to business."

Xu Jiyuan glanced at him and thought to himself: The staff in Qianfu Town are all pretty good, much better than those fat-bellied people who only know how to talk big and eat and drink.

He was a young man, living in an era when evildoers were rampant, and he had subconscious prejudices against people and things within the system. However, after several contacts with the cadres of Qianfu Town, his impression of them improved a lot.

Huang Youquan smiled awkwardly, "Commissioner Fan is right, let's get down to business. According to the communication meeting held in the town the day before yesterday and the plan provided by the expert group, we are now going to discuss a land acquisition and transplanting plan for a fruit orchard."

"Leaders and experts don't need to worry about land acquisition. We will make sure it's done well. As for the transplanting plan, we need leaders and experts to give us some advice!"

"Yes." Fan Fusheng nodded and looked at Xu Jiyuan, "Expert Xu, I'd like to trouble you to give me some advice on this transplanting plan."

Xu Jiyuan said modestly: "It's not so much about giving advice as it is about learning and discussing together."

In these verbal exchanges, Xu Jiyuan's response was not excellent, but at least he lived up to his family's teachings and was steady.

Fan Fusheng smiled slightly, took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, and said with a smile: "Before coming here, I reported to Secretary Huo and Mayor Qingfeng. Secretary Huo meant that the two most important points in this transplantation plan are how to protect the interests of the villagers and improve cooperation and execution; and how to make a reasonable layout and try not to go back on the past. Planning should be long-term. What do you think, Expert Xu?"

"That's exactly what you said." Xu Jiyuan nodded and said, "Secretary Huo is indeed an expert in rural work. These two points are also the two points that our expert group recommended Niujiao Village to do well after discussion. According to our experience, specifically, the subsidies for transplanting, the response methods for various situations, the distribution method of income, etc. should be designed well, and the layout of the planting area should be properly planned. For those with high demand for irrigation water, more irrigation culverts should be built; for those with high requirements for soil fertility, deep plowing and composting should be done in advance; for those with requirements for soil looseness and light, all these must be set up in advance according to the situation. In addition, road traffic conditions should also be taken into consideration, otherwise it will take much more effort to make adjustments after the park is formed in the future."
