Chapter 20: Passing the buck
Looking for a water bureau?
Zhang Mingquan's phone call surprised Su Ce, and after he finished speaking, he wondered even more, didn't he agree to build the road? Why did he go to the township chief? and let the township chief think of a way?
"What's wrong?"
Mao Ye saw that Su Ce began to lose his mind after answering the phone, and couldn't help but ask.
Su Ce told Zhang Mingquan's phone call again, and did not forget to add, "Zhang Mingquan just denied the idea of building our road in the morning. ”
"Looking for the Water Conservancy Bureau, can the Water Conservancy Bureau take care of our affairs?"
Qin Hansheng snorted weirdly on the side, "This is obviously the usual kicking ball, you push me, I push you, and in the end, it won't work." ”
"Hansheng's statement is not impossible, Zhang Mingquan will not be so kind......"
Halfway through the words, Mao Ye seemed to think of something, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that we are used as gunmen, if you can ask for funds to build roads, he will push the boat down the river to support us." With the help of the village committee, the village committee will have a reason to participate in the follow-up planning of the reservoir, and he will be able to contract the reservoir to his brother-in-law naturally."
Mao Ye looked at Su Ce, and then at Qin Hansheng.
Qin Hansheng nodded quickly, while Su Ce frowned.
There is no fuel-efficient lamp!
In the morning, he refused himself with righteous words, and when he saw that there were benefits in it, he immediately turned his head to find the township chief, but he just moved his mouth and threw the hardest and most difficult work back to Xiaba Village.
Success has the credit of the village committee, and if he can't succeed, he will not lose the slightest, and he can still leave behind a favor who will do his best to help.
Su Ce really couldn't get used to Zhang Mingquan's approach, but he had to admit that his abacus played well.
Water Bureau, go try?
With the mission, Su Ce didn't dare to miss any opportunity, even if the hope was slim.
The next morning, Su Ce got up early and rushed to the county seat.
The Water Conservancy Bureau is not a majestic unit, nor does it have the vicious and snobbish security guards in TV novels, so Su Ce rode the motorcycle directly into the yard.
"Hello leader, where is the reservoir management office?"
This is what Master Mao taught Su Ce, no matter who you see, just call the leader, and make sure that no one throws your face at you. Of course, it is limited to those who work in the public service.
Sure enough, when the pimple-ridden man behind the desk heard the word leader, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand and pointed outside, "Turn left on the second floor and turn the third room, there is a sign hanging." ”
"Thank you, leader. ”
After Su Ce thanked him, he immediately went upstairs, found the sign of the reservoir management, and reached out to knock on the door.
"Come in. ”
Pushing the door open, there were two men sitting in the room.
One looked to be forty or fifty years old, with a yellowed cup of tea in front of him, and his eyes stayed on his phone. The other one was a little younger, about thirty years old, turned his head to look at Su Ce and asked, "Is there something?"
"Hello leader, I'm Su Ce from Xiaba Village. ”
Su Ce hurriedly handed the two of them cigarettes, and when he took the cigarette, the middle-aged man looked up at Su Ce, and it was only a glance.
"What's the matter?"
The younger man lit a cigarette and asked again.
"Leader, our village is going to build a road to the dam, and Zhang Mingquan, secretary of the village committee, asked me to come and report. ”
The young man frowned slightly, and looked at the man playing with his mobile phone opposite, "Lao Li, is the section chief here?"
"Isn't it? ”
The middle-aged man didn't raise his head and said a word back.
The young man hesitated for a moment, perhaps noticing Su Ce's eager gaze, and then slowly got up, "You wait here first, I'll go and see if the leader is there." ”
After a few minutes, the young man came back in, "Follow me." ”
Su Ce immediately followed, and came to the door of an office, where the young man motioned for Su Ce to enter, and then turned to leave.
The office door was not closed, but Su Ce did not dare to be reckless, and knocked lightly on the door twice politely, and after the man in the room looked up, he shouted leader with a smile.
"You're from Xiaba Village?"
"Hmm. ”
Before Su Ce could sit down, he was asked by the man.
"Isn't Xiaba Village going to be withdrawn and reorganized? Why are you thinking about building roads again? Are you building them?"
The man didn't let Su Ce sit down, and asked three questions in an arrogant tone, with doubts in his eyes.
Such a tone made Su Ce feel a little uncomfortable, but he had to endure it, keep a smile and quickly replied: "Our village does not agree to withdraw the village and merge the group, Secretary Zhang Mingquan suggested that I come to the leader in charge for help, and there is still a lack of funds for road repair." ”
Before he came, Su Ce had made up his mind that no matter what purpose Zhang Mingquan had for letting him come to the Water Conservancy Bureau, it was a fact that he had called him, and he had to speak under his banner.
The man frowned and looked at Su Ce, and after a while, he sighed and said, "The bureau has no plans to build roads, let alone a budget for road repairs, so this matter can't help you." ”
Such an answer was expected by Su Ce, but he couldn't help but be disappointed, and said unwillingly: "Leader, we have guarded the reservoir in Xiaba Village for so many years, even if it is ......."
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the man stretching out his hand, and his tone was not as soft as just now, "It's not that I have already sent you a notice, what age is it, you don't need to guard the reservoir anymore, and the Xiaba Reservoir will be managed by the higher authorities in the future." Okay, I still have something to do, you can go back first. ”
Su Ce opened his mouth slightly, and when he saw that the man looked down at him, he could only turn around and leave.
Coming out of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Su Ce was in a bad mood.
The competent authorities didn't care, the village committee didn't support it, and the villagers didn't understand, which made Su Ce feel that he was fighting alone.
A series of disappointments and more and more helplessness made Su Ce at a loss.
Can the road really be built?
When I returned to the village, I saw the familiar fish pulling cart at a glance.
Cui Bingwang took the initiative to greet Su Ce, and Su Ce responded with a wry smile.
"What's wrong with Village Chief Xiaosu?
Mao Ye stayed here to record the weight, and when he saw that Su Ce's face was not good, he didn't ask much and handed him the paper and pen in his hand directly.
Su Ce shook his head, "Master Mao, you record it, I'm going to go up to the dam to have a look." ”
The last time he encountered a problem, Su Ce thought of a way on the dam, and his mood became comfortable. This time, Su Ce still wanted to try.
Watching Su Ce go up the mountain, Cui Bingwang asked curiously, "Uncle Mao, what's wrong with Xiao Su?
In Cui Bingwang's view, there is nothing else that can make young people lose their souls except the relationship between men and women.
Mao Ye sighed, "It's not about building roads." ”
"Build roads?"
Cui Bingwang's eyes moved, and he handed Mao Jianjun a cigarette, "What's the situation?"
......
When Su Ce went up the dam, he happened to meet the people carrying the fish coming down the mountain, and he forced a smile to greet them, and then walked up to the dam.
Today's wind is a bit strong, standing on the dam you can hear the whistling wind, the water surface is blowing waves and crashing against the dam.
Perhaps the wind and waves were too strong, and the fishing friends no longer stuck to their posts, and gathered together in twos and threes to chat. Seeing Su Ce appear, many people stretched out their hands to signal Su Ce to come over.
"Why is Village Chief Xiao Su sad?
"What you said is not right, with the appearance of Village Chief Xiao Su, how can you fall out of love?"
"Lao Zhang, what you say is a bit one-sided, although this is a society that looks at faces, but money ......"
Halfway through the words, the fishing friend automatically shut up and smiled apologetically at Su Ce.
Everyone sees the situation in Xiaba Village, and poverty is the biggest characteristic.
Su Ce knew that these people were deliberately ridiculing themselves, and he also knew that they had no bad intentions, so he smiled indifferently and squatted beside them, perhaps because of the anguish in his heart that needed to be released, and unconsciously said that the road construction was blocked.
"It's a good thing to build roads, do the cadres of your village committee have brains?"
"That's right, in the early years, there was a slogan that you want to get rich and build roads first, this is the experience of iron fighting, why don't you agree?"
"Village Chief Xiaosu, why don't they agree?"
Every word you say to me is all words in support of road construction, which makes Su Ce's heart surge with a warm current, and there is an extra layer of smile on his face.
"The village committee is reluctant to pay, and we don't have the money ourselves. ”
Hearing Su Ce say this, many fishing friends showed a sudden expression, and their voices were much less.
"Don't be discouraged, Village Chief Xiaosu also has a lot of income from selling fish every day, just accumulate it for a while. Someone spoke out to comfort Su Ce.
"Village Chief Xiaosu, how much money are you missing? If it's not too much, we will support you, and it's embarrassing to fish for free every day." You'd better build a parking lot by the dam when you build the road, and we'll be able to get the car up when we come back. ”
I don't know who mentioned it, and the fishing friends around Su Ce showed expressions of interest.
