At this moment, he felt a huge wave of shock rising in his heart...

How is this possible? Isn't Li Lin a poor kid from the countryside with no background?

How could he be so familiar with the county party secretary?

And looking at the way they are chatting casually... they seem to have a close relationship!

I really don’t know the real talent...I even look down on Li Lin?

What should I do? Should I apologize to him?

Will he forgive me?

At this moment, Zhao Jie wanted to die.

When he arrived at Shangshui Village, Liu Yong said he would not go to the village committee and would go directly to the households.

This time, they came from a poor family where both members were disabled.

Li Lin knocked on the door and called for help.

Soon, the gate opened and a middle-aged man on crutches walked out.

"Village Chief Li, please come in quickly, Xiuzhi...Village Chief Li is here, please come out quickly..."

His wife Wang Xiuzhi heard the shouting and ran out from the kitchen in a hurry.

"Village Chief Li is here? Come on, please take a seat. I'll go get you some water..."

Wang Xiuzhi enthusiastically invited Li Lin and Liu Yong into the house, handed them two cups and started pouring water into them.

It was then that Liu Yong noticed that one of her sleeves was empty...

"Sister, how are you doing lately? Are you having any difficulties? I remember your child is in high school, right? Has he received the education subsidy?"

Li Lin picked up the worn-looking teacup and put it to his lips without any hesitation.

Liu Yong no longer felt thirsty after taking a look at the teacup. Although it was cleaned very well, he still had some psychological barriers.

Wang Xiuzhi also sat down. When talking about the education subsidy, she smiled with satisfaction. "My family is doing well, and my child has received the education subsidy. If it weren't for the subsidy, I'm afraid my child wouldn't even be able to go to school."

She was not exaggerating. Both of them were disabled and completely unable to work, and the family of three had completely lost their source of income.

Prices are high now, and the monthly living expenses for a child in high school are at least 500 yuan.

Even though it's only 500 yuan a month, it's a huge problem for the two of them.

Since his family was identified as a poor family, three of them have been included in the minimum living security system, two of them enjoy disability benefits, their children go to school for free, and they also receive nutritional meal subsidies.

All these government subsidy incomes combined are barely enough to keep the family going.

"Sister, in addition to these basic policies, are there any other assistance measures?" Liu Yong asked with a smile, his eyes gentle.

Li Lin then hurriedly introduced, "Oh, this is our county..."

Liu Yong raised his hand to interrupt Li Lin's introduction, and introduced himself with a smile, "I am an ordinary employee of our Weishui Township Government. I came here today to learn from Mayor Li how to carry out poverty alleviation work."

Wang Xiuzhi looked at Liu Yong with a smile and said seriously, "So you are the leader of the township. Seeing that you are so old, I thought you were a big leader from the county."

Liu Yong laughed when he heard this. "Oh? According to you, when you are older, you should be a leader in the county and you can't hold a position in the township?"

"Well, what I mean is that there are so many people and things to do in the village, and young people like Mayor Li can only have the energy to manage it if they are leaders in the village. If they are older, they will not have so much energy to do business, and they should return to those idle units in the county..."

Liu Yong's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that a rural lady would have such a profound understanding of township cadres. He couldn't help but say with emotion,

"What you said makes sense, elder sister. Nowadays, towns and villages are like a needle in a thousand threads. All departments' business is directly inserted into towns and villages. It is really difficult to cope with it without a good body!

Especially in the past few years, we have been working day and night to fight against poverty. If the township leaders were all 50-year-old men like me, they would have been defeated long ago!"

Wang Xiuzhi laughed again, "Oh, from the way you sound, you really sound like a county leader! At least you must be the deputy county magistrate, right?"

Liu Yong and Li Lin couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard this.

After leaving Wang Xiuzhi's house, Li Lin and Liu Yong walked side by side on the village path.

Liu Yong looked at Li Lin carefully and suddenly asked seriously, "Xiao Lin, do you plan to stay in Weishui Township, or do you want to return to the county to be a director?"

Now we get to the point! Li Lin was originally wondering why Liu Yong came to see him suddenly, but now it seems that he came to talk to him on behalf of the organization.

However, the form of this conversation was quite unique. Just walking around and chatting in the village made Li Lin feel relaxed.

"Secretary Liu, to be honest, if I don't make some achievements in the village before leaving, I will not be willing to leave!"

Li Lin's expression was serious and it was obvious that he had said this after careful consideration.

Liu Yong nodded solemnly, "Good! You have great ambition! I was worried that you couldn't stand the exclusion of these people in the village and that you would desert."

"Now it seems that my worries were unnecessary. You are able to withstand pressure, are motivated and have courage. I am really impressed by you."

"What the lady just said is very right. Today's towns and villages need young people like you to govern them!"

Li Lin was deeply encouraged, and the surging passion in his heart returned!
