Chapter 322 Tian Xiaoyu
Li Dong and the others went to the resettlement site in the morning to have a look.
There were indeed not many people, most of them were mountain people, and these people were also the hardest hit group this time.
Because there are few people, it is convenient for the government to resettle them.
Su An specially vacated a few government dormitories for these people to live in, and the drinking water and food are also okay.
Li Dong took a brief look, and finally waved his hand. The victims still lacked quilts. In two days, a thousand quilts would be delivered from afar.
The deputy director of the municipal office couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. He liked this kind of job of receiving businessmen, and when he came to visit the victims, he had to bleed a little.
A thousand quilts is not a lot of money, but it can save the government a lot of trouble.
After watching the victims, several people had a light meal together at noon.
In the afternoon, the deputy director of the Municipal Office led Li Dong and the others to the orphanage.
That Tian Xiaoyu who paints is now in the orphanage.
When the flash flood broke out, both of Tian Xiaoyu's parents died, and Tian Xiaoyu had no close relatives, so he was placed in an orphanage.
Tian Xiaoyu is considered a celebrity now.
When director Lin talked about Tian Xiaoyu, he said: "President Li, this girl is still talking about you. Last time you paid tens of millions to buy her painting, the little girl was so happy that she didn't fall asleep for several days. I want to say thank you Uncle Li vigorously.
Later, because the orphanage was too busy during this period, they didn't spare time to send her there.
This time Mr. Li came in person, the little girl must be very happy to know. "
Li Dong nodded and asked, "Is the little girl still in school?"
"I'm here, I didn't dare to delay the children's study. Secretary Liu specifically told us that the flood receded, and we let these children resume classes as soon as possible."
Li Dongdao: "That's good, the child's parents are gone, learn something, and you can have a solid foundation in the future."
Director Lin catered a few words from the side.
When we arrived at the orphanage, the government might have notified us in advance. The director of the orphanage led a dozen children and waited at the door.
Li Dong glanced at Director Lin, and Director Lin hurriedly said: "It should be organized by them spontaneously. I was afraid that Tian Xiaoyu would not be here before I came, so I called and said in advance."
Li Dong nodded and said nothing.
Fortunately, he was going to come and see Tian Xiaoyu before, and Li Dong also prepared some things that the children could use.
Schoolbags, stationery boxes, some snacks and some new clothes, because the space in the car is not too big, Li Dong didn't prepare too much.
However, there are not too many children in the orphanage, and a little for each person is enough.
After distributing the things, Li Dong communicated with the director of the orphanage, leaving Tian Xiaoyu alone.
Tian Xiaoyu is nine years old this year, probably because of malnutrition, she looks like a six or seven-year-old child in the city.
She is small, with withered and yellow hair, and the little girl's eyes are especially big against the background.
The little girl was a little afraid of meeting strangers, seeing that her friends had all left, there was a trace of panic in the little girl's eyes.
The director of the orphanage saw that she was shaking her hands and dared not speak, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Yu, this is Uncle Li who bought your painting last time, didn't you always want to see him? Now that Uncle Li is here, hurry up and call someone. "
"Uncle Li..."
Tian Xiaoyu shouted timidly, and took another peek at Li Dong.
The little girl is young, and she doesn't feel any momentum, but she thinks that Uncle Li in front of her is so young, he should be called brother.
Li Dong stroked her head with a smile, and said gently: "Xiao Yu, aren't you happy to see me?"
"Happy!"
Tian Xiaoyu grinned, revealing her missing two front teeth.
As if feeling that Li Dong was not a bad guy, but also a kind uncle who bought her painting, Tian Xiaoyu gradually let go a lot.
Taking a timid look at Li Dong, Tian Xiaoyu asked, "Uncle, were you the one who bought Xiaoyu's painting last time?"
Li Dong nodded and said: "I bought it, Xiao Yu's paintings are very good, I like it very much."
Tian Xiaoyu laughed shyly, pulled the hem of her clothes and said embarrassedly: "But they all said that my paintings are not good-looking,
He also said that uncle spent a lot of money to buy many orphanages. "
"Whether it looks good or not, uncle has the final say. I say it looks good."
...
After talking with Li Dong for a few words, the little girl gradually became acquainted with Li Dong a lot.
After talking about some of the past, and about the present life, the little girl finally said with a longing look on her face: "Uncle, I want to learn to draw in the future. The teacher and auntie said that Xiao Yu's paintings are not worth so much money. Uncle bought them." It’s a shame, when I’ve learned it well, I’ll draw another picture for my uncle, and I won’t charge him any money.”
Li Dong suddenly laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, then learn to draw, uncle will draw for me after you."
Speaking of which, Li Dong looked at the director of the orphanage and said, "Director, can I learn to draw here?"
The dean of the orphanage looked a little embarrassed, and Director Lin hurriedly answered: "Yes, definitely. If there is no orphanage here, we can arrange an art teacher to come over."
Li Dong didn't make a sound, but hesitation appeared on his face.
Holding the little girl's hand, Li Dong pondered for a moment and asked Tian Xiaoyu, "Xiao Yu, how are you doing here?"
Tian Xiaoyu said nervously, "It's good, but sometimes I miss my parents."
Li Dongchang breathed out, nodded and said: "Just live well, and uncle will come to see you often in the future, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay!" Tian Xiaoyu nodded happily.
Li Dong smiled, chatted with the little girl for a while, and then let her return to his companions.
Before leaving, Li Dong left 100,000 yuan for the orphanage, without saying anything, and left the orphanage in Tian Xiaoyu's waving hands.
...
Director Lin was sent away, and Li Dong and the others returned to the hotel.
Seeing that Li Dong seemed to be in a bad mood, Liu Qi asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, do you want to adopt this child?"
Li Dong scratched his head and said, "At first, I had this idea. I felt that this child was destined for me, and it was quite pitiful without his parents. But after thinking about it, it was too much trouble. I couldn't even take care of myself, let alone Said to take care of a child.
But you also saw it at the orphanage. Although there is food to eat, the environment is too bad.
Moreover, if someone came here casually, the orphanage would immediately suspend classes. Growing up in such an environment would have a very bad influence on the children.
I'm not the kind of good person who expresses kindness, but I think this girl is quite sensible, and because of the purchase of paintings before..."
Speaking of which, Li Dong himself was a little confused, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll come and see her when I have time, the adoption is too troublesome, besides, the little girl might not be happy."
Liu Qi said with a smile: "How could the little girl not want to? If she can enter Mr. Li's house, it would be a blessing from her previous life."
Seeing that Li Dong didn't speak, Liu Qi said again: "Actually, Mr. Li was thinking about it. I think it would be good if your parents adopted Tian Xiaoyu. You have been busy, and your parents have no one to accompany you. Adopt Tian Xiaoyu." Xiao Yu, just treat your parents as a joke."
Li Dong said unhappily: "I heard you mean it like adopting a kitten and puppy. Are you still amused? Am I so black-hearted?"
Liu Qi smiled and didn't answer.
But in her eyes, if Tian Xiaoyu was adopted by Li Dong, she would actually be like a kitten or puppy.
Li Dong is just a young man who adopted Tian Xiaoyu out of sympathy for a while, but after a few years, can Li Dong still retain this sympathy?
Not to mention Li Dong, Li Dong's parents are similar.
It's not that they don't have kind hearts, the key is that Tian Xiaoyu is not young and can remember things, so it is difficult to cultivate that kind of deep feelings.
If the Li family had no feelings for Tian Xiaoyu, even if Tian Xiaoyu could live comfortably, she would still be an outsider, unable to blend in, naturally no different from a kitten or puppy.
Li Dong let out a long breath, and said after a long time: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Doesn't Tian Xiaoyu want to learn to draw? Later, you pay attention to it and let her learn. I will pay for it. After all, there is a painting between me and her." agreement."
Liu Qi nodded when she heard the words, and did not persuade Li Dong to adopt Tian Xiaoyu anymore.
...
On the last day of March, Li Dong and the others finally arrived in Anyuan.
Without stopping, several people went straight to their destination and arrived at Heming Township under the jurisdiction of Anyuan County.
Heming Township was Li Dong's first target, and the 5,000 mu of land belonged to Heming Township.
Li Dong and the others found a farmer in the nearest place to take them to the wasteland.
When we arrived at the wasteland full of weeds, Li Dong asked: "The terrain here is flat, and there is no shortage of water next to it. Why is no one planting?"
The old farmer who led the way didn't care what Li Dong and the others wanted to do, and explained: "I know here. I used to plant land, but the yield was not good. Later, young people went to the city, and this land was left uncultivated. We people There is no shortage of land, and those who come and go will have no one to plant.”
As soon as he heard that someone had planted the land, Xu Shengzhe hurriedly said: "Then this piece of wasteland belongs to your village?"
The old farmer scratched his head and said: "I really don't know about this, but it doesn't seem to be the case. A few years ago, there was a fruit and vegetable company, and it seemed that they were planning to buy this land as a planting base and grow vegetables in a greenhouse. But it didn't work out. Anyway, it was discussed with the township government, not with our village, so I don’t think it should belong to our village.”
"It's not from your village, why do you farm here?" Xu Shengzhe asked again.
The old farmer smiled and said: "Anyway, it is empty, and no one cares about it. What's wrong with farming. Last year, our village planned to plant poplar trees here. If tens of thousands of trees are planted, they will grow up in a few years." Cut it up and sell it, at least hundreds of thousands.”
"Then why didn't it fall?"
"No capital!" The old farmer despised Xu Shengzhe, how much does tens of thousands of saplings cost.
Besides, the effect of planting trees is too slow, and you have to take care of them. Who would spend this effort? What if they can’t be sold for money after a few years.
Xu Shengzhe didn't care about being despised, and he was slightly relieved.
The current situation looks good, but if the local farmers really plant trees, it will be difficult to buy land.
At that time, regardless of whether it is public land or not, if other farmers plant something, you will not be able to buy it casually, and it will be difficult to get it back if you buy it.
Now the land is still barren, and there are almost no plants to be seen. This is probably the best result he expected.
Next, as long as it is confirmed that the land is state-owned, then you can buy it.
He gave the old farmer 200 yuan and asked the old farmer to go back first.
As soon as the people left, Xu Shengzhe couldn't wait to say: "Let's go to the township government to ask, and the battle will be settled quickly!"
Li Dong asked: "Didn't you say to let someone else do it for you? Let's go by ourselves?"
"One moment and another moment! I even found the reason. Isn't your supermarket cooperating with many vegetable bases? At that time, you will say that you want to build your own vegetable base. It is a seamless excuse, and someone mentioned it a few years ago. The township government will not doubt this matter, as long as the price is negotiated, there will be no problem!"
When Li Dong heard it, he felt that it was quite appropriate, but he still said, "Such a large transaction must go through the city government, right?"
"The city government doesn't know, but it must go through the county government. Leave this matter to me. Let's talk to the township government first. After the negotiation is settled, I will open up the relationship. If it goes well, the contract can be signed in ten days and a half months."
Li Dong thought about it, ten days and a half months shouldn't be a big problem.
However, if it takes a while longer, it will be uncertain. Li Dong most hopes to sign a contract with the township government directly, so that the impact will be small.
Otherwise, I and Xu Shengzhe bought such a large amount of land, and it is impossible to hide it from Jia Wenhao.
Although he didn't say his plan, he would definitely pay attention to Anyuan's side. If Jia Wenhao intervened, he might not be able to buy this land.
Li Dong really doesn't understand the land buying business, but Xu Shengzhe is an expert. All Li Dong can do now is listen to Xu Shengzhe's opinion.
Several people got into the car and drove directly to the township government.
