Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

There's Sha Ruijin in the province; that old guy has amazing political skills.

Conversely, if they can't get in, it can only mean that Sha Ruijin has ulterior motives towards the Zhong family.

Let's put promotion aside for now.

After all, the final result will involve a complicated process and will take at least two months.

That is, something that happens around the end of the year.

Qi Tongwei's biggest headache right now is legal education and public awareness campaigns!

These two problems left him exhausted.

Managing people is much harder than managing the economy.

Since the human trafficking incident, many ordinary people have come to inquire about selling pigs or donkeys.

what?

Can we sell it?

It turns out they still don't distinguish between people and livestock, and are afraid that selling livestock will break the law.

Qi Tongwei couldn't understand it.

One is human trafficking, the other is livestock trafficking. How can you confuse such a simple thing?

Therefore, Qi Tongwei could only have the publicity department keep working on it, even going door-to-door to educate people about the law.

The problem is that many ordinary people are illiterate.

When I told them, they just smiled and nodded, but after a few days, they couldn't remember anything anymore.

The most bizarre thing is that they are illiterate and don't send their daughters to school.

This is the one thing Qi Tongwei cannot tolerate the most!

According to Sun Liancheng's statistics, there are approximately 1500 school-age children in the entire Yanyuan County.

Of these, 1200 were male.

There are only 300 girls.

Based on this ratio, almost half of the girls are of school age but are not attending school.

Have you done your work?

It's definitely done!

But it's useless. Some parents are very blunt: girls will get married in the future, and once they're married, they'll be someone else's daughter. What's the point of going to school?

Qi Tongwei was furious.

But there was nothing we could do.

Not everything can be explained logically, and not everyone can be reasoned with!

There is a saying.

Poor and remote areas are a real headache.

The person is fine, but their thinking is rotten. Solving this problem won't be a matter of a day or two.

With only two months left until the Chinese New Year, Qi Tongwei didn't want to delay any longer. If he went to the city after the New Year, the education problem in Yanyuan County had to be solved!

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

They won't listen to me.

We can only find another way.

Use strong measures.

Therefore, a meeting on education was held at the county government.

Hosted by Qi Tongwei.

All county government leaders, as well as the village party secretaries, must attend.

This was a genuine reform conference.

Conference on Ideological Reform.

Zhong Xiaoai once said that when the people of a place have progressive ideas, then they are not far from a prosperous life.

Before the meeting, Qi Tongwei made a special phone call to Zhong Xiaoai to hear her opinion.

"Tongwei, it takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person. Changing the mindset of a place is not something that can be done overnight."

“I know, but time is running out,” Qi Tongwei said softly. “Next year, I might have to work in the city. I won’t feel at ease until this matter is resolved.”

"So, you're planning to resort to underhanded tactics?"

"The idea is to at least ensure that every little girl can go to school."

"Are you sure?"

"The common people's thinking is nothing more than weighing the pros and cons." Qi Tongwei said with some helplessness, "Before, I wanted to persuade them with kind words, but most people didn't listen. If I don't take action now, it might be too late."

The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now.

Qi Tongwei didn't want to wait any longer.

We can't afford to wait.

Even if he has to resort to methods against ordinary people, even if they don't understand him now, or even hate him, he doesn't care.

He knew exactly what he needed to do.

Every child must be able to go to school!

Chapter 193 He Misses His Girl

Zhong Xiaoai could sense Qi Tongwei's determination.

Some things are difficult.

But she believed he could do it.

"Tongwei, once you've made a decision, go ahead and do it boldly. The people of Yanyuan County may not understand now, but one day they will thank you."

"Whether they understand or not, I don't care. It's enough that you understand." Qi Tongwei said softly, "Xiao Ai, I miss you so much."

"Me too."

After a two-second silence, Qi Tongwei tentatively asked, "Xiao Ai, I want to go back to Handong for the Spring Festival this year. Can you come?"

“Sure,” Zhong Xiaoai replied without hesitation. “I heard your new house is all built.”

"How did you know?"

“Of course I know.” Zhong Xiaoai said with a little pride, “It’s a two-story building. You paid for it, Wang Hua supervised the construction, and the decoration style is quite fashionable.”

"you've been to?"

“I’ve been there.” Zhong Xiaoai paused for a moment. “This year on the Double Ninth Festival, I burned paper money for my uncle.”

Qi Tongwei felt a lump in his throat.

Instantly, his eyes turned red.

"Xiao Ai..." Qi Tongwei's voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

He said thank you three times.

He knew that there was no need for him and Zhong Xiaoai to say thank you.

But he still couldn't help it.

I couldn't even hold back my tears.

This year on the Double Ninth Festival, he also burned paper money, but he drew a circle and burned the paper facing south.

This is a pity.

The son's regrets about his father.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhong Xiaoai made up for this regret.

"Xiao Ai, let's get married next year."

“Okay!” Zhong Xiaoai said calmly. “I’ll marry you whenever you come to marry me.”

End of December.

The wind in Shaanxi and Gansu is like a knife, blowing so hard that you can't open your eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei remained unsettled for a long time.

He misses his girl.

Want it so so much.

He was deeply rooted in Shaanxi and Gansu, bringing benefits to the people. But ultimately, he was also made of flesh and blood and had feelings.

After Qi Qingshan's death, Zhong Xiaoai became the object of all his emotions.
