Chen Qiao knew that his wife would never give up, so he immediately said the reason he had made up after thinking about it for a day.

"What?!" Mrs. Chen was startled and said, "You...... You actually took a bribe?!"

"Hmm!" Chen Qiao nodded and said, "Although the money is not much, it is still reported, so ......"

"Damn!" Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and said, "What is it that you received a little money? It is impossible to dismiss you because of the matter." Besides, professor at Linjiang University, I don't believe you're the only one who took bribes. If you want to investigate strictly, I'm afraid everyone will be suspicious. ”

"Ma'am, forget it. Chen Qiao said helplessly.

"No, no!" Mrs. Chen immediately shook her head, and then said: "This matter must not be left like this, our family Zihan has just come to the United States to study, and there will be a lot of money to use in the future." If you are dismissed, where will Zihan's study abroad fees come from?"

"I'll figure out a way about money!" Chen Qiao said, "However, let's not pursue this matter." ”

"Absolutely not, in my opinion, this should be someone deliberately manipulating you behind your back!" Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Qiao seriously.

"Even if it were, it can't be helped. Chen Qiao shook his head helplessly and said, "After all, I have no background, for so many years, I have relied on the hard work of one person." Now, if others want to fix me, I can only accept my fate!"

"Old Chen, this is not your style!" Mrs. Chen hurriedly shook her head when she heard this.

"Forget it. Chen Qiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I will go to the provincial capital next year to find a job, there are so many universities in the provincial capital, I can be regarded as a full-level professor in a national undergraduate college, and there should be many schools rushing to ask for me." ”

"Alas......" Mrs. Chen sighed helplessly, looking very depressed.

It seems that things have developed to this point, no matter how much you make a fuss, I'm afraid it's useless. Moreover, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I am afraid that the school will not find anyone. Therefore, Mrs. Chen could only swallow this evil breath. She looked extremely helpless.

"Then you got all your things back?" Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Qiao.

"Hmm!" Chen Qiao nodded and said, "Everything is in the car, and the car is in the garage." ”

"You, you!" Mrs. Chen was even more sad, and said, "If people dismiss you, and you just leave honestly, you won't refute it?"

"Madam, since they want me to leave, if I forcibly stay, it won't do me any good!" Chen Qiao opened his mouth and said: "If I really force me to stay, they will definitely give me small shoes everywhere in the future, why should I bother?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen nodded: "You have some truth in what you said. However, if you go to work in the provincial capital, won't you be able to come back every day?"

"For the sake of our daughter, let's bear with it!" Who can understand the pain in Chen Qiao's heart? University professors, taking bribes, this seems to have been an unspoken rule for a long time. However, Chen Qiao has always upheld honesty and integrity, in fact, he has never accepted such a thing as bribery. However, feelings can't be stopped, and when he really met a girl he liked, he was really a little desperate.

Although that relationship has passed, and the two have parted ways, they didn't expect to be caught by pigtails three years ago. Chen Qiao began to wonder in his heart, who shook this thing out? Not many people knew about this matter, about three or five people. And they are all their friends, when this matter was at the beginning, they were all more careful, and they swore to Chen Qiao that they would definitely keep the secret in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, it has only been three years before things broke out.

Chen Qiao also understands that there is no impermeable wall in this world, and paper can't keep the fire after all. Even if the incident has passed, the impact of the incident is still there. He knew that the tooth he had knocked out could only be swallowed by himself.

Her husband lost his job, and Mrs. Chen's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. The family's expenses are basically dependent on her husband's work. Although I have a few thousand yuan a month, this money is basically only enough for the family's expenses. The cost of studying in the United States is extremely expensive, and 100,000 US dollars a year is needed. Although there are still some savings at home, once these savings are depleted, then ...... The family is on the verge of running out of ammunition and food.

Therefore, Mrs. Chen's heart is very heavy. Fortunately, her husband's teaching strength is excellent, and if he really goes to the provincial capital, he should be able to have a lot of income. For the sake of their daughter, the husband and wife can only endure the pain of parting their love, and they can only live separately.

…………………………

In the revival of the community, in just two days, half a kilometer of road, almost all the street lights have been replaced. Twenty meters of a street lamp, more than 500 meters of distance, on both sides of the road add up to a total of sixty or seventy street lamp poles. Two bulbs need to be replaced for each street light pole. Moreover, there are more than a dozen street light poles that need to be replaced, which requires the use of cranes and the help of ladders. Don't look at the data, but the project is really big.

The work was quickly completed, and the staff of the Fuxing Community Neighborhood Committee carried out the acceptance and then settled the final payment.

"Fortunately, it only cost more than 130,000 in total. Aunt Zhou smiled, but she didn't expect that more than 500 meters, sixty or seventy street lights, the cost was not very large.

"It's because we're sourcing out the skin. Lao Li of the Family Planning Office walked in and said with a wry smile: "In order to save some money, we can be said to have exhausted our minds and worn out our mouths. ”

"Yes, yes, you are all heroes. Aunt Zhou laughed.

"You really don't know!" Lao Li of the Family Planning Office sneered: "I talked to the person who is in charge of the street lamp project, and the people who sell this kind of bulb to the municipal government are 500 yuan each, and it only costs 200 to sell it to us." ”

"Why?" Aunt Zhou was stunned.

"Make money from the government. Lao Li of the Family Planning Office smiled and said, "Moreover, five hundred yuan a piece is quite cheap." Some simply get 1,000 yuan each, and the invoice says 2,000 yuan each, and the reimbursement is 2,000 yuan. ”

Sizzle......

Aunt Zhou couldn't help but gasp.

Just when a group of people from the neighborhood committee were doing the final statistical work. Suddenly, an army-green jeep sped up outside. Three men jumped out of the car, led by a man in a black leather jacket with a gloomy face, eagle eyes and a hooked nose. He was followed by two men. The three of them went straight to the Fuxing Community Neighborhood Committee.

Knock knock knock......

The knock on the door was loud, and people who didn't know thought it was a fight.

Aunt Xiaohong opened the door, she looked at the three menacing men in astonishment, and asked, "Excuse me...... Who are you?"

"We are municipal engineering. The man in the lead came uninvited, broke in directly, then sat down on the sofa of the neighborhood committee, and asked, "What about the person in charge of your neighborhood committee?" Let him come out. ”

"Ahh......h Our Director Zhou is settling accounts inside, and I'll invite you out. ”

After speaking, Xiaohong hurriedly ran towards the finance office.

"Eldest sister, no, someone from the Municipal Engineering Office is here. Xiaohong's face was panicked, and she said, "It looks like you're quite angry, you ...... Hurry up and take a look!"

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she said, "What are they doing here? It doesn't matter if we have any cooperation with them." ”

"You'd better hurry up, or people will tear down our little temple!" Xiaohong looked very nervous.

Aunt Zhou saw that things seemed to be very complicated, so she quickly got up and walked outside.

After going out, sure enough, the aura has changed a little. The man in the black leather jacket on the other side was sitting on the sofa, his complexion was not very good, and his face was even more fierce. The faces of the three of them were gloomy and they looked very unhappy, as if they owed each other millions.

"You guys are ......," Aunt Zhou walked out.

"You're the head of the Fuxing Community Neighborhood Committee?" the man in charge asked.

"yes, I don't know ...... you"

Without waiting for Aunt Zhou to finish speaking, the leading man immediately said: "Have you obtained a construction permit for the street lamp on Fuxing Road? Have you obtained the construction certificate for the municipal project?"

"Ah?!" Aunt Zhou was stunned for a moment, she really didn't think that a road she managed, just to replace a street lamp, even need to get a permit from the Municipal Engineering Office? It's as ridiculous as changing a light bulb in your own home and needing to go to the power supply bureau to get a permit. Aunt Zhou laughed: "What is your surname?"

"Old woman, let me tell you, this is Director Zhao of our Municipal Engineering Office!" a man in the back scolded.

"Oh, it turned out to be Director Zhao!" Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Then may I ask, do I need to go to the Power Supply Bureau or your Municipal Engineering Office to get a permit for a lamp in my own home?"

"You ......" When Director Zhao heard this, he immediately said angrily: "You don't mess around with me, let me tell you, your construction on the road to rejuvenation is illegal construction and must be rectified!"

"Rectification?" Aunt Zhou heard and asked, "How to rectify?"

"Remove all the things that have been replaced, and then go to the Municipal Engineering Office to issue a permit certificate before you can put them back on!" Director Zhao snorted coldly.

"Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?" Aunt Zhou was a little puzzled when she heard this.

The street lights have been installed, and at this time they have to be removed again, and they have to be issued a certificate and then reinstalled. This makes people a little confused, what is this certificate for? Is it possible to have a safety guarantee for the construction with this certificate? The most important thing is that my project has been completed, and nothing has happened, and now I have to spend manpower and material resources to dismantle the things, and I have to open the certificate and install it.
