However, when they saw Su Xinghui, they all showed sincere smiles and shouted "Township Head Su". Su Xinghui also nodded and smiled, and greeted them.

Qu Ziqing said: "Little Su, it seems that you are very familiar with the villagers here!"

Su Xinghui said: "This is the village I have come to the most."

Chen Hanshu nodded and said: "No wonder, it seems that these villagers respect you very much."

Long Kangrong said: "Is it because you are a deputy township head?"

Su Xinghui said: "Before I became a deputy township head, they were like this."

Speaking of this, Su Xinghui said with emotion: "These common people are really cute and simple. You have done a little thing for them, and they can remember it for a lifetime. This is why I mixed in the officialdom, because in this position, I can do more things for them."

Su Xinghui's words made several calligraphers and painters silent. They thought about Su Xinghui's words. After a long time, Ye Jinian nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, and it is also what I thought simply before, treating all officials as bureaucrats. In fact, in the officialdom, there are also realists like you who want to do some practical things!"

Su Xinghui laughed: "I dare not accept such a high evaluation. I can only say that I will try my best to meet this requirement."

At this time, Fang Youcai came over. He heard some villagers say that Su Xinghui came and brought a few old men to see the scenery at the entrance of the village, so he hurried over.

From afar, Fang Youcai shouted: "Township Head Su, why don't you go in and sit when you come to our village? What are you doing standing here?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Fang Zhishu, these are several famous calligraphers and painters in our province. Today they came over because they wanted to see the scenery here and wanted to sketch here, so I brought them to see."

Fang Youcai hurriedly walked over and said: "We don't have any good scenery here, it's a drag on the old brothers."

Qu Ziqing smiled and said: "You say there is no good scenery with such good scenery, too humble, right?"

Fang Youcai said: "I really don't think there is anything good to see here."

Chen Hanshu said: "This may be because Fang Zhishu has lived here for a long time, so he doesn't think the scenery is good. It is like entering a room of orchids and not smelling the fragrance."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Fang Youcai smiled and said: "You are all cultural people, I don't understand what you are saying. As long as you like it, just paint it, and we are responsible for entertaining you."

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Fang Zhishu, you have to entertain them well. The calligraphy and paintings they write this time are going to participate in the provincial calligraphy and painting exhibition. If they paint more of the scenery of Yezhugou, isn't your Yezhugou Village famous in the whole province?"

Fang Youcai heard it and said happily: "That's good, several old brothers, come with me to the village committee to have a cup of tea."

Several people nodded and followed Fang Youcai to the village committee.

Fang Youcai ran into the village committee office first, called Gao Daping, scalded teacups and brewed tea for several people, but several people didn't enter the office, but entered the conference room, which is the temporary reading room.

Fang Youcai and Gao Daping each carried two cups of tea and followed into the reading room. They saw several calligraphers and painters pulling books from the bookshelf and flipping through them. He put the teacups on the table and said: "Drink tea, drink tea."

Qu Ziqing asked: "Is this a reading room run by your village?"

Fang Youcai said: "Yes, in the past half year, thanks to Township Head Su, the village's economy has improved a bit. It is also following Township Head Su's suggestion that we set up this reading room. Even these books were mostly brought by Township Head Su."

Several people became interested when they heard it, and asked Fang Youcai to talk in detail.

Fang Youcai talked about Su Xinghui's deeds, from his suggestion to set up breeding farms and bamboo weaving factories in the village, to helping find experts and sales channels, letting the village slowly get rid of poverty and become rich, and finally dragging a car of old books from the county Xinhua Bookstore to enrich the village's reading room, all of which were said once.

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "Fang Zhishu, don't say these things, it's just making the teachers laugh."

Qu Ziqing shook his head and said: "How can I laugh? After listening to Fang Zhishu's words, I am very moved. I really understand the meaning of what you said just now. Indeed, you can do more things in the officialdom than being a calligrapher and painter. If there are officials like you in the officialdom, our country has great hope!"

Chen Hanshu said: "You are really not simple. A poor mountain village, in the case of not completely getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, has already set up a reading room. Anyway, I have walked so many places in these years and haven't seen it."

Ye Jinian also nodded and said: "Yes, let alone in such a place, even in the countryside of Jiangcheng, I haven't seen any village that has set up a reading room. How can such a village not become rich in the future?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. A village that can have such spiritual pursuit, why worry about not being able to create enough material wealth to make them rich in the future?
