Housing prices in this [-]th-tier town are not high, and a house of [-] square meters may not be as good as half a toilet in S City, but if hundreds of thousands of families are to be relocated, it is not a problem that toilets can solve.

First, we must have sufficient funds.

Second, government support is required.

Third, there must be enough local jobs to accommodate new residents.

Picking out one of these three points at random is enough to cause headaches, not to mention how many messy trivial matters there are, which cannot be finalized with a light touch of the upper lip and lower lip, and the details must be discussed slowly.

So the most important things right now are the two girls, one big and one small.

"Oh, the quilt is moldy. Hurry up and throw it away, Xiao Song, help me get out of the bed and sweep under the bed." Sister Zhao loves to be clean, and it's too disgusting to see such a scene. If it wasn't for the limited conditions, she wished she could This old house was overthrown and a new one was built.

Chen Ban was only responsible for sweeping the floor and throwing out the garbage, and unconsciously filled three large sacks. The dark and smelly old house finally looked brighter and cleaner.

There was still some time, and Sister Zhao decided to cook dinner for the old and the young before leaving, while Song and Wang surrounded the ten-year-old girl and asked her what she thought about going to school in an adult tone.

The little girl is a bit cautious, but she is very assertive when it comes to the future. She said that she really wants to go to school, but her grandfather and younger sister need someone to take care of her. She has to wait for her younger sister to grow up before going to school.

If she had the chance then.

Chen Ban was engrossed in listening, when suddenly someone tugged at the corner of her clothes, she turned her head and looked at the little sister who was only three years old with a thin and yellow face, "Sister, this is for you."

Chen Ban smiled and squatted down, "What is this?"

"It's a chicken feather shuttlecock I made myself."

"You are so skillful and you do it beautifully. Can you kick it?"

The little sister shook her head and stuffed the shuttlecock into her hand, "Sister kicks, sister kicks."

How could Chen Ban know how to kick a shuttlecock, she said to her little sister, "Thank you for giving me such a beautiful shuttlecock, what do you like, I will bring it to you next time."

The little sister thought for a while and said, "Picture books."

Chen Ban rubbed her messy short hair, nodded and said, "Okay, picture book, I will definitely bring it for you when I come back next time."

The older one wanted to go to school, and the younger one seemed to want to go to school too, but it was impossible to leave the old man in his seventies alone in the mountains.

With an idea, Chen Ban stood up and said to Mr. Song, "Otherwise, we can make a compromise and send grandpa to a nursing home temporarily, and my sister can live in the school dormitory..."

Mr. Song asked, "What about my sister, she's still so young."

Brother Wang at the side said, "Or can we foster with relatives? We just need to pay some living expenses."

"I heard from grandpa that there seems to be no relatives who move around."

"If you are poor, no one cares about you in the busy city, but if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains."

Not long after, Sister Zhao cooked the dishes, put them on the small table, and called the old man and the two children to eat. She just heard the conversation of several people, and said while wiping her hands, "Let's take care of it with me."

"what?"

"Actually, I've wanted to tell you a long time ago. I'm getting older every day, and my body and energy are not as good as before. I don't want to run around like this anymore. I plan to find a small village with a better environment for retirement. Um... I can't say Elderly care, retreat to the second line, I can do logistics for you if I have nothing to do." Sister Zhao sighed, "I am childless, and I have a child to accompany me, so my life will not be so boring, what do you think? "

Brother Wang and Sister Zhao have been traveling together for more than ten years. They have experienced many things, and they are no different from brothers and sisters. Hearing her say this, I can't help but feel a little bit emotional. Of course, I am reluctant, but if Sister Zhao can bring the little sister by her side, it will undoubtedly be a blessing. Everyone is happy.

So Wang Ge sat at the small table and asked the old man and the children for their opinions.

The old man is naturally willing to let the two little granddaughters walk out of this mountain, but the two children are afraid that they will leave, and their father will not find them when they come back.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the group could only go back and inquire about the news of the children's father.

After a whole day of drying, the road was not as muddy as in the morning, and the walk was smooth, but everyone was still exhausted when they reached the foot of the mountain.

Brother Wang said, "I drove the car when I came here. You should drive it when you go back."

Mr. Song said, "How can I open one of my shoes?"

Sister Zhao said, "Don't look at me, my legs are weak."

The gazes of the three fell on Chen Ban, looking like they didn't have to force it.

After all, Chen Ban was young, even if he was tired, he was very tired, so he drove the car back to the hotel in one go.

The hotel in the small town is very simple. After Chen Ban took a shower, he slumped on the hard single bed, feeling that his body was no longer his own, and his brain was blank. thing.

Occasionally, Chen Ban would also be curious about how Song Lingchu in the game is doing now, and whether Xiaozhi's past is good or not.

But there are more important things waiting for her to do.

Chen Ban took a deep breath, called the community police station, and asked the police to help her investigate the situation of the father of the two children.

Knowing that Chen Ban is now a volunteer of the poverty alleviation organization for students, the policeman was obliged to call her back the next morning, saying that the father of the two children took the train to N City with a few workers half a year ago. After a while, another person took a bus to a small town, and then lost contact with his co-workers, and there was no more news.

There are usually only two possibilities in this situation, as Sister Zhao said, either she didn’t want to bear the pressure of the old and the young, so she patted her butt and ran away, or something happened and she disappeared or died.

It takes time to find someone.

But no matter what the possibility is, it will be difficult for these two children to wait until their father comes home.

Everyone sat down to discuss and decided to tell the truth to the elderly and children. After all, the future within reach is more important than hopeless waiting.

The father lost contact for half a year, and although the younger sister was ignorant, the grandfather and elder sister were already mentally prepared, and they were sad in silence, so they packed their things and went down the mountain.

Since then, with the joint efforts of the government, volunteer organizations, and caring people in the society, the relocation project for poverty alleviation has been carried out smoothly.

When the resettlement housing was officially put into construction, Chen Ban had already gone to the next city.

Year by year.

She tried her best on this road without stopping for a moment, met many people like Sister Zhao, Brother Wang, and Mr. Song, and made many achievements that made her proud. Her life became full and her direction became clearer. , The shock that once seemed to her to fall apart, but in retrospect it seems to be no big deal.

In this way, the peach blossom season ushered in again, and Chen Ban also ushered in the first economic crisis in his life.

Not her financial crisis.

In the meeting room of the Association of Poverty Alleviation and Aid Volunteers, there are more than a dozen sad faces, speaking different dialects.

"If you want me to say, what happened this time comes down to Lai Xiaochen."

"I don't think you are such a good money, why can you rely on Xiao Chen?"

"She raised the specifications of our condolences. Before she came, what were our condolences, rice, noodles, cooking oil, and 500 yuan in condolences. After she came, it was as big as quilts and clothes, as small as Pots, pans, and pans are often changed for others. It is easy to change from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I am going to see my children now, and I am too embarrassed to give out the 1000 yuan condolence money."

In this regard, some people felt the same way, "It really makes sense to the mother, what I said."

Chen Ban sat in the corner and smiled mischievously, but his attitude was firm, "Anyway, I won't go."

"Don't you want to build a primary school in the name of our association?"

"Of course I would."

"Then it's over. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There are so many celebrities and media in the national charity auction. The key is that there are local tyrants. They sent us an invitation letter, and we have to go! Otherwise, there will be another one in the future." Is it our turn to do something like this!"

"I know, but why do I have to go?"

Everyone stood up in a huff, and put the facts before Chen Ban's eyes, "Come on, look, is there anyone here besides you who weighs less than 150 catties? Everyone looks like they have been corrupt for many years, not to mention others, With my face on the news, who would believe that our association raised money to build a primary school, and would think that I was going to buy a house and a car for my mistress."

"No, in terms of image and temperament, you are the best in our association, and this matter belongs to you."

"Don't be so dictatorial. Let's vote with a show of hands. Please raise your hand if you agree with Chen Ban to be the representative of the charity auction."

Speaking of this, Chen Ban has no reason to shirk, but she really doesn't want to go to this charity auction.

It is reported that Shiban Game Development Company is one of the main creators of this charity auction. If there is no accident, Shi Xiaozhi will definitely participate.

Thinking of meeting Shi Xiaozhi, Chen Ban felt a little flustered.

It has been three years since they separated.

……

The charity auction was held in City B. Chen Ban arrived two days early, and the staff came to the airport to pick her up and go to the hotel where she was staying.

"Is this the first time Ms. Chen has come to City B?"

"No, but the previous few times I came here in a hurry."

"Then this time you have to take a good look around, there are many interesting places in City B."

It was rare for Chen Ban to have two days of free time, and he wanted to relax, so he asked, "For example?"

The staff member smiled, "For example, there is a comic exhibition in the venue next to the hotel these days, and they are all young people around your age, not to mention how lively it is. I saw Spider-Man and Conan sitting together drinking coffee in the morning."

Chen Ban didn't like to visit scenic spots, but was very interested in events like comic exhibitions. After settling in the hotel, she came to the venue alone, and found that it was a bit different from what she had imagined.

It is said that it is a comic exhibition, but there are not many anime characters, most of them are classic game characters.

Chen played these games when she was half a child, and it can be said that they accompanied her throughout her adolescence. Seeing them crowded together in groups now, it really feels like breaking the dimension.

Chen Ban couldn't help but went over to ask for a group photo.

The guests at the comic show frowned slightly when they saw her holding the phone.

"Uh...Do I need a camera? I came here temporarily, so I'm not prepared...I'm sorry."

Chen Ban is beautiful and has a sincere attitude. It is really hard for people to reject her ruthlessly.

"It's okay, the phone is fine too."

"Thank you so much! I really like your cosplay Suzaku God of War, this feather is exactly the same as in the game!"

"Hmm! I have been preparing for the details for a long time!"

Relying on her understanding of the characters in the game, Chen Ban quickly got along with the guests of the comic exhibition, and took a lot of nice group photos. She was satisfied, and the guests of the comic exhibition were also satisfied, and added a WeChat request for return with her.

"By the way, why are all the characters in the game in this comic exhibition?"

"You don't know, everyone came here to participate in the comic exhibition because they heard that Mr. Xiaozhi would come. Of course, they want cosplay game characters."

"Teacher Xiaozhi...is that Xiaozhi I knew?"

"Otherwise, who else is Xiaozhi? Teacher Xiaozhi is truly a legend. He made a streamer at the age of 17, but unfortunately he didn't even have the qualifications to sign it. Now it's hard work!"

Streamer is a stand-alone game, which tells the story of the protagonist as an aspirant, who has gone through hardships and humiliation, and finally pointed his sword at the way of heaven and saved the common people.

Chen Ban was 14 years old when streamers became popular.
