Rebirth as an official

Chapter 14 Why not turn on the light?

Qin Fangfang's eyes lit up when she heard the word university, but then dimmed again.

"My family has no money for me to go to college, so I will stop studying after my third year of high school." Qin Fangfang's voice sounded very lonely.

Li An knew that Qin Fangfang had not finished saying that he had a younger brother who was in high school.

The old man of the Qin family can be regarded as a relatively far-sighted person in the village, and he can always provide for his daughter and son to study together.

Although high school tuition is not much, it costs several thousand yuan a year. The preference for boys over girls in rural areas here is still very serious.

Boys from poor families are generally not allowed to go to school after completing nine years of compulsory education, and few girls in particular can afford to go to high school, let alone college.

There are very many rural girls here who do not go to school.

The reason why Qin Fangfang got married back then was actually to use the bride price given by her husband's family to help her younger brother go to college.

This may be the helplessness of poor families in rural areas. The elder sister exchanges her life's happiness for a younger brother's opportunity to succeed.

"Let me ask you, if you have money, do you want to go to college?" Li An asked again.

At this time, Li An felt that since I had been reborn, such a tragedy could not happen again, so he decided to help this poor girl.

"I've definitely thought about it, but I heard that college costs thousands of dollars a year. How can my family afford it? Besides, my younger brother still has to go to school." Qin Fangfang's voice was a little lonely.

"Fangfang, review your homework carefully. As long as you can get into college, I will find a way to pay for you." Li An said.

"Really?" Qin Fangfang turned around excitedly after hearing this, but forgot that Li An was still holding her clothes.

This sudden movement almost brought Li An into the ditch.

Li An staggered several times before he stabilized his body. Looking at the bottomless ravine on the outside of the path, his face turned pale with fright. He leaned against the side of the mountain and gasped for breath.

"Li Gan, are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Qin Fangfang also realized how dangerous her actions just now were and quickly apologized.

"It's okay, don't get excited anymore, otherwise my life will be lost." Thinking of the dangerous situation just now, Li An was afraid for a while.

"No, Mr. Li, you just talked about going to school..." Qin Fangfang had hope in her eyes again and asked impatiently.

"Fangfang, actually you don't have to worry about college tuition. As long as you can get into college, you can apply for student loans. The university also has relevant policies for poor college students, which can exempt part or all of the tuition. If you are in college If you have excellent grades, you can also apply for a scholarship, which will even cover your living expenses.”

Li An talked about all the national policies for poor college students in one breath.

He was really worried that if Qin Fangfang got excited again, he would really die in the ravine.

"Director Li, is what you said true?"

Qin Fangfang's body was trembling a little. She had already given up on going to college, but now that she heard what Li An said, her desire to go to school started to stir again.

"I am a state cadre, how can I lie about what I say?" Li An said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. The last time someone from the village came, they patted their chests and promised to come." Qin Fangfang muttered quietly.

"What country?" Li An asked curiously.

"Ah, it's nothing. Can you tell me more about the scholarship and policies you mentioned?" Qin Fangfang quickly changed the topic.

"Haha, I will find a place to go online and download a copy of this policy for you when I return to the city that day. Your most important task now is to review with peace of mind and strive to get into a good university." Li An did not care about what Qin Fangfang just said and encouraged him. She studied hard, and there were only a few days until the college entrance examination in June.

"But now, you'd better lead the way. It's getting late." Li An looked at the time on his phone. It was almost 8 o'clock.

"Oh."

"Commander Li, have you ever gone to college?"

"I've been there before."

"What is the university like?"

"University, he is..."

On the dark path halfway up the mountain, a girl was leading the way but refused to stop, asking questions constantly. The young man pulling his clothes behind was not agitated at all and answered patiently. In short, he was full of youthful atmosphere.

.......

In the past, Li An walked on the mountain road for less than 10 minutes for a full 10 minutes at night.

In addition to factors at night, heavy drinking during the day also consumed a lot of his energy.

When he saw the farmhouse where Chen Shanhe was staying, he was already a little exhausted and his steps were a little sloppy.

Every household in the countryside has dogs. Before Li An and Qin Fangfang even approached the house, the dogs started barking so loudly that it hurt their ears.

"Uncle Liu, are you at home?"

Qin Fangfang walked to the yard in front of the house and started shouting at the top of her lungs.

There was a noise in the house, and after a while, the door of the house made a "beep" sound.

An old man with white hair walked out with a flashlight, speaking in a thick dialect

"It seems strange!" (Who is it!)

"I'm Fangfang." Qin Fangfang spoke in a loud voice, and Uncle Liu must have been hard of hearing.

"She's a girl from the Qin family. What are you doing here?" (What's going on here?) Uncle Liu asked.

"This is the resident cadre of our village, here to find the college students living here." Qin Fangfang pointed at Li An and said.

Uncle Liu glanced at Li An and said, "Come in, he lives in that room. Get up and find him yourself." Uncle Qin pointed to a window on the west side of the house, and you could see a faint light inside.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Qin Fangfang replied, and Li An also thanked him and walked into the room.

This is an adobe house, facing north and south, with a living room in the middle, bedrooms on the east and west sides, and a kitchen outside on the east side of the house.

As soon as Li An entered the house, he felt that he was poor, very poor. The word "house with bare walls" is very appropriate here.

There is an old-fashioned wooden cabinet on the north wall of the living room, a few wooden chairs, a light bulb hanging on the beam, and no other furniture.

Qin Fangfang took Uncle Liu and chatted about home affairs in the living room, while Li An figured out the direction and walked towards the west room.

The room had no door, and a curtain hung on the bare door frame.

Li An opened the door curtain and saw a young man with short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, lying on the wooden table and flipping through some information with a flashlight.

"What kind of cool thing is this? Reading with a flashlight is more exciting?"

Li An was a little confused by Chen Shanhe's appearance at this time. Why didn't he turn on the lights?Looking at the small light bulbs hanging on the beams, I was very confused. Could it be that there was a power outage?

Li An stood at the door and did not go in. According to etiquette, he had to knock before entering the house. Unfortunately, the house where Chen Shanhe lived had no door and no place to knock.

You can't smash the wall, you're not collecting protection money.

Li An deliberately made his footsteps loud when he entered the house just now, hoping to attract Chen Shanhe's attention. Unfortunately, this former friend seemed to be fascinated by the information and did not notice it at all.

"Is this Chen Shanhe?" Li An asked.

"Who?"

Chen Shanhe, who was concentrating on his work, was startled by the sound and turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

There was a person standing at the door of the room. Because there was no light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but from the sound of his voice, he seemed to be young.

It's past eight o'clock now. Who will come to find me at this time?

"I'm Li An, the newly arrived village cadre. I'm here to talk to you." Li An introduced himself with a smile.

"Oh, you are that Li An. I heard about you when I went to the township government. Please sit down."

Chen Shanhe stood up immediately when he heard it was Li An, but he was embarrassed to find that apart from a stool, there was only a wooden table and a bed in his room, and there was no place to sit.

"It doesn't matter if I sit here." Li An pointed to the bed. His legs were sore as soon as he stepped off, and he was eager to find a place to sit.

"It doesn't matter, you sit down." Chen Shanhe said a little awkwardly.

As soon as Li An's butt hit the bed, he tried to hold back a moan and finally sat down. I was almost exhausted from walking on this mountain road.

After sitting down, Li An looked at the dark room and asked his doubts.

"I said, why don't you turn on the lights? Is there a power outage?"

"There was no power outage, it was Uncle Liu who refused to turn on the lights."

"Forehead......"
