Su Ziying's gaze met Li Xiuyuan's. She could feel the concern in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Li Xiuyuan had never said anything to show concern for her. Every time he spoke, he was evasive and always used work as an excuse.
But she could genuinely feel Li Xiuyuan's concern for her.
She heard about what happened in Meilin Village this afternoon. The county head will be coming to attend the unveiling ceremony tomorrow. Because it was a last-minute decision, everything is very busy, and Li Xiuyuan has been working hard as well.
But he still came over during the meal.
Shi Yufei brought a chair for Li Xiuyuan, and Li Xiuyuan sat down. At this time, the food was served. For dinner, there were steamed scallion rolls, millet porridge, and four other dishes: scrambled eggs with scallions, shredded pork with green peppers, shredded pork with onions, and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
There weren't many dishes, but the portions were generous. They were all home-style dishes, but for Meilin Village, this kind of food was really good, far exceeding the living standards of ordinary families.
Li Xiuyuan had only eaten a quick bite at noon. After a busy afternoon, he was already starving. He immediately urged everyone to start eating and chat.
Li Xiuyuan mainly asked the four new teachers, including Su Ziying, how they felt about coming to Meilin Village, and if they needed anything, so he could help them coordinate and resolve any issues.
Everyone chimed in, saying that the new teacher was quite satisfied with Meilin Village, especially the food, which was better than what he ate in the town's middle school cafeteria.
After all, the town's middle school has a large canteen with many students and teachers, so the food is often not very good.
However, the cook hired by the village at Meilin Village Primary School is someone who often cooks large meals for the village and is quite skilled. He now serves six teachers and the food he makes tastes very good.
During his visit, Li Xiuyuan didn't make a point of chatting with Su Ziying. He quickly devoured four scallion pancakes and drank a bowl of millet porridge before feeling full.
"Okay, you all chat. If anything comes up, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll be in Meilin Village for the next couple of days. Teacher Xiao knows where my room is. You're all welcome to come anytime."
Li Xiuyuan said something and prepared to get up and leave. Everyone saw him to the kitchen door. Li Xiuyuan looked at Su Ziying, wanting to say a few words to her alone, but he didn't have the chance because he had to be busy.
He only gave Su Ziying a deep look before turning around and leaving with Shi Yufei for the conference room next door.
We need to be cautious about tomorrow's interactive discussion session and organizing the public to participate in the unveiling ceremony.
If it were just a dredging project, there would be no problem. Li Xiuyuan was confident that tomorrow's unveiling ceremony would be a complete success. However, the subsequent demolition and land acquisition work in Meilin Village had not yet been completed.
Who knows, some people might be thinking of causing trouble when the leaders come to the event tomorrow.
There's also the interactive session tomorrow, in front of the media. Although if the villagers say something unpleasant, it can be edited out later, and even if they say it to the media, it doesn't necessarily cause a big stir. But it will make the leaders feel that their control is inadequate.
That evening, Li Xiuyuan spoke privately with several village cadres and veteran Party members who were scheduled to speak the next day. He reviewed their speeches, had heart-to-heart talks, and ensured that no problems arose.
He then called Zhou Jianzhong, Shi Yufei, and Tian Hong aside and asked them if there was any commotion in the village and if they had heard anything about anyone planning to cause trouble tomorrow.
