Li Qingkai looked at the construction captain.

“Aren’t you guys from Kanglai County’s drilling team? How did is this your family’s land?”

The construction captain pointed at the other two men.

“We originally came from this village. Back then, my second uncle had been working in Kanglai County. Over the years, farming and raising chickens were not profitable, so I followed my second uncle to learn how to dig wells. 1 didn’t expect such a coincidence to occur this year. I received a job right on my own doorstep.” The construction team leader smiled honestly.

“The well I’m building now will be our land in the future. Even if you don’t give me money, I have to do this job well, don’t you think so, Boss?”

Li Qingkai also felt that this was quite a coincidence.

“In that case, I’m relieved. This task is equivalent to giving your families job. I don’t think you guys will be lazy.”

“That’s for sure. Don’t worry.”

After saying that, the construction team leader called the others to work together and did not slack off at all.

“Young man, you’re now working in Kanglai County’s drilling team. How’s your income?” In his free time, Li Qingkai chatted about family matters.

“The income is alright. I can just about support my family.” The construction team leader said,

“Next year, 1’11 bring my wife to Kanglai County. I’ll rent out the land at home and we’ll barely make ends meet.”

“If you leave, you’ll suffer a huge loss. Don’t say that 1 didn’t warn you,” Li Qingkai said.

“What’s wrong? Is the village going to be relocated?”

“Forget about relocation, but the town has attracted a lot of big enterprises for investment. Dongsan County will get better and better in the future. I can’t say for sure about other aspects, but at the very least, it will be better off than Kanglai County,” Li Qingkai explained.

“Also, the county is preparing to develop the livestock industry. Baiye Town will be the pilot for this. Farmers like you are sure to benefit in the future.”

“These are all nationalistic promises. Boss, don’t try to trick us.”

“Do I look like I’m bluffing?” Li Qingkai said.

“The county has approved all the money. They want to organize a group of people to go to the Northeast to study. Young and strong people like you meet the requirements. Didn’t anyone from your family sign up?”

“Oh? Is there really such a good program?”

The construction team leader and the two people from the same village exchanged glances.

“I didn’t hear my wife talk about it.”

The other two also shook their heads, indicating that they did not know about this matter.

“That’s impossible. This has been going on for a few days. Almost everyone has already been chosen. Baiye Town is a place that the higher-ups are paying attention to. It’s impossible for you not to know of it.”

“I’ve really never heard of it,” said the construction captain.

“The people in our village have a group chat. Usually, they will talk about both big and small matters in the group chat. I’ve never heard anyone mention this.” “If such a good thing really happened, the village would have exploded with news long ago. It wouldn’t be so quiet.”

Li Qingkai touched his chin, unable to understand this matter.

“Something must have happened midway,” Lin Yi said.

“Midway?”

Lin Yi nodded, “As the saying goes, there’s a policy from above, but there are countermeasures from below. The intentions from higher-ups are good, but sometimes issues can arise during implementation.”

With that, Lin Yi stood up and looked into the distance. He said to the construction team leader,

“Bailing Village should be up ahead.”

“Yeah, that’s where we live.”

“Put aside what you’re doing and come with us to Bailing Village. It’ll be easier for us to understand the situation there.”

“Sure.”

The construction team leader put down his work and followed Lin Yi and Li Qingkai into the car, heading towards Bailing Village.

As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they could hear the crowing of chickens and dogs inside.

On the way here, Lin Yi learned that the construction team leader’s name was Song Changxi.

In the past, every family in town bred livestock. They mainly had chickens, ducks, and geese, with each household having no fewer than loo of them.

However, because the market had not been doing well over the years, there were fewer people raising animals now.

“Can we go to your house to take a look?” Lin Yi asked after entering the village.

“Why not? As long as you don’t mind.”

“Then let’s go.”

Under Song Changxi’s lead, Lin Yi and Li Qingkai arrived at his house.

The house was not bad. It was a red brick house with a small courtyard filled with vegetables.

In Bailing Village, this could already be considered a big house.

There was an empty space in front of Song Changxi’s house. There were more than ten men and women gathered there, chatting.

In a sense, this empty space was the CBD of Bailing Village. It was the leisure cultural and entertainment center of the village. It had the same importance as Yanjing’s Wangfujing, Zhonghai’s Lujiazui, and Newyo’s Mattaten in Meiguo.

“Ah, Changxi, why are you back? It’s not even noon yet.”

The woman’s name was Li Jing, and she was Song Changxi’s wife.

“These two are the leaders of the county. They are trying to understand the situation here, so I brought them here.”

After knowing Lin Yi and Li Qingkai’s identities, the person chatting on the empty ground hurriedly stood up.

“Boss, please sit here.”

“Don’t be so nervous. We’re here to inquire about something. You just have to answer truthfully,” Li Qingkai said.

Everyone nodded and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

“The county has a policy to develop the livestock industry. Your Baiye County and the villages below are all going to pilot this. We will select a portion of the young and strong from amongst your villages to send on educational trips. Do you know about this?”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what was going on.

“This news has been spreading for a few days. Don’t you know anything about it?”

Li Jing shook her head. “I really don’t know. No one told us about this.”

“Alright, I understand.”

After a simple chat, Lin Yi and Li Qingkai left. The former said,

“It’s obvious that the policy hasn’t been implemented.”

“Let’s go find the village chief,” Li Qingkai said.

The two of them drove to the village chief’s office, which was a newly renovated activity house.

Inside the room were three people, one of whom was a middle-aged man in his forties. He sat at a desk, holding a Zhonghua brand cigarette.

The other two were sitting on the sofa. There was a sea of tea on the coffee table. They were drinking while chatting.

“Which one of you is Han Jinwu?” Li Qingkai asked.

“I am,” said the middle-aged man with the cigarette. “And you are?”

“I’m Li Qingkai, the director of the county’s Office of Poverty Alleviation. This is Deputy Director Lin Yi. I’m here today to understand the situation.”

After knowing their identities, Han Jinwu and the other two quickly stood up.

“So you are Director Li and Director Lin. Sit, sit.”

After saying that, Han Jinwu handed over a cigarette, but the two of them refused.

“There’s no need to be so polite. We’re just here to understand the situation.” “What do you want to know?” Han Jinwu said cooperatively.

“Regarding the matter of sending people to study in the Northeast, have you received the notification? How is the implementation going?”
