The leader of the working group is called Mei Hong, the chief is tall and big, but he is not too bold, he is the technician of this well digging and exploration, he is very happy to see Liu Haobing coming, because he knew Liu Haobing's fame when he was in the county, and he also knew Liu Haobing's status in the minds of the people in Lishan Town.

"Mayor Liu, we are relieved when you come, so let's go back and report to Secretary Tian first, as for where to dig the well, we have already explored, if you discuss it at the village and town levels, how about we come down immediately to implement the project?"

Liu Haobing still wanted to stay, but Mei Hong, who was frightened by the villagers surnamed Liu, hurriedly left with a team of technicians.

Liu Haobing looked at the villagers at the scene, and could only say to the branch secretary Ma Dahu: "Let the villagers disperse." ”

Ma Dahu shouted angrily: "It's all gone." ”

The villagers saw Liu Haobing and let them disperse, the villagers surnamed Ma all scolded and left, and the remaining villagers surnamed Liu were still standing in their own cemetery and weeping bitterly, they didn't know if they could defend their ancestral graves with their lives, and some villagers surnamed Liu were worried about the cemetery and also worried about their own drinking water, after all, their drinking water depends on the supply of other villages, if there is a problem with the supply of other villages, and the village can't solve the water source problem, then they will die of thirst, but no one surnamed Liu dares to show a sense of compromise, if it is exposed, it will definitely be subject to family law。

Liu Haobing was in a very bad mood when he saw the villagers messing up like this, so he walked up to Ma Dahu and said, "Then let's go back first, and then discuss." ”

Yes, what can be done without discussion, can't you let the family surnamed Liu lose a few lives in order to dig a well?

Ma Dahu had no choice but to nod, at this time, Liu Haobing suddenly remembered Ma Xiaohu and his wife Zhao Zhen, so he walked up to Ma Dahu and said, "Ma Zhishu, do you have a brother named Ma Xiaohu?"

Ma Dahu was shocked: "Yes, Mayor Liu, I have a brother named Ma Xiaohu, how do you know?"

Ma Xiaohu has been away from home for many years, Ma Dahu knows that his younger brother is in the provincial capital Nanyun to open a hotel and make a lot of money, but he also knows that his brother's difficult thing is that he has no children, for this reason, he is also very sad, after all, Ma Xiaohu is his own brother, his father and mother died early, his younger brother is his only relative, how can he not want him, but Nanyun is too far away from here, far away is not a farmer like himself can go casually, although he is the village secretary, but in the final analysis, he is still a farmer, since he is a farmer, then there is no salary, go to Nanyun I won't be reimbursed, so I stopped myself from going to Nagumo often.

What's more, every time he goes to see his younger brother, his younger brother is in a bad mood, and he is not in a good mood, today he suddenly heard Liu Haobing talking about his younger brother Ma Xiaohu, which made him overjoyed, could it be that Mayor Liu has seen Xiaohu, how is he now?

Ma Dahu's series of questions were spinning rapidly in his mind.

"Mayor Liu, do you know Xiaohu?"

"Recognize. ”

"How did you meet? Tell me about it. ”

Liu Haobing looked at Ma Xiaohu's excited expression and said, "Liu Zhishu, I have good news for you, your brother Ma Xiaohu and your brother's daughter-in-law Zhao Zhen are back and are rushing towards this side." ”

The branch secretary Ma Dahu was overjoyed after hearing this, and said: "What are you talking about, Xiaohu is back, and he is rushing to this side, you are not lying to me, Xiaohu has not been home for more than ten years." ”

Liu Haobing looked at Ma Dahu's excited expression and said, "Ma Zhishu, go and see, he is really back, you know that I don't like to tell lies the most." ”

Ma Dahu nodded after hearing this, and said to Liu Haobing: "Mayor Liu, then you come later, I will go to Xiaohu first." ”

Liu Haobing looked at Ma Dahu's running speed and said secretly: "This is brotherhood." ”

After speaking, he slowly walked towards Ma Dahu's house.

At this time, Liu Haobing walked on the road, his mood was still not relaxed, how to hit this well, how to persuade the people surnamed Liu, this is a difficult problem, however, no matter how difficult the problem must be solved, this well must be drilled, not only to be beaten but also to hurry, and then delay for a few days, the weather will be cold, if the ground is frozen, it will be even more difficult to drill a well at that time.

Thinking of this, Liu Haobing secretly made up his mind that he must overcome this difficulty in the past two days.

Since we want to overcome this difficulty, we must know ourselves and our opponents, who is at the helm of the Liu family, and the problem will be easily solved if this person is at the helm.

Liu Haobing knew that now that the villagers' drinking water was in short supply, there must be people from these Liu families who wanted to move their graves in exchange for drinking water, but they didn't have the courage to say it. It seems that he has to plan this well.

Liu Haobing thought of this and accelerated towards Ma Dahu's house, he knew that Ma Dahu's house was more lively today, after all, his younger brother who had not been home for more than ten years had gone home, which was definitely a great joy for Ma Dahu.

Liu Haobing quickly walked into Ma Dahu's house, and Niu Jufen, who was busy at this time, saw Liu Haobing and hurriedly shouted at Ma Dahu: "Old Ma, Mayor Liu is here." ”

Niu Jufen's voice was almost like a cow howling.

This sound came out, startling Ma Dahu and Ma Xiaohu, who were talking in the room, as soon as they heard that Liu Haobing was coming, they all happily greeted them, because Liu Haobing is not only a friend but also a benefactor to them.

Liu Haobing saw Ma Dahu and Ma Xiaohu coming out, and said, "Xiaohu, I finally arrived home, and the two brothers have met, so they can be more affectionate and affectionate." ”

Ma Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't been home for many years, and I didn't expect that my brother is also old." ”

After hearing this, Ma Dahu touched his white hair and said, "Yes, Xiaohu, you haven't been home for more than ten years, can my brother not be old." ”

After hearing this, Ma Xiaohu nodded slightly and said, "Brother, it's Xiaohu who is not sensible, I'm sorry for you and your sister-in-law, I made you worried." ”

Ma Dahu didn't care about this, as long as his brother could come back, he said: "Xiaohu, don't leave when you come back this time." ”

Ma Xiaohu shook his head and said: "Brother, I still have a mess over there, and I can't do without people, if it weren't for a capable waiter in the hotel this time, we wouldn't be able to come back." ”

Ma Dahu heard that Ma Xiaohu was leaving again, his expression immediately dimmed, but it was fleeting, he was the secretary of a village party branch, and he understood the truth, because many things that happened to the villagers were persuaded by themselves, he knew that his younger brother was now old and had his own family, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to let him leave.

"Xiaohu, how many days are you going to stay when you come back this time?"

Ma Xiaohu saw his brother's expression and said: "Brother, stay tomorrow for a day, I will leave the day after tomorrow, Nanyun is really inseparable from people, besides, brother, since I can come back this time, I will come back often in the future, so let's do it, I am going to close the hotel for a few days during the New Year, how about going home for the New Year?"

Ma Dahu was very happy when he heard it, Ma Xiaohu went home for the New Year, which is an unprecedented good thing, he said happily: "Okay, Xiaohu, that brother is waiting for you, this year our family can have a reunion." ”

Liu Haobing was happy when he saw the two brothers, and he was also happy.

Liu Haobing was let into the room by the two brothers, sat on the kang, and beautifully ate a meal cooked by Niu Jufen for Ma Xiaohu and his wife.

After eating, Liu Haobing pulled Ma Dahu out of the room and said: "Ma Zhishu, it stands to reason that your brother is back today, and I shouldn't bother you with business anymore, but the matter of digging the well must be solved, otherwise, the ground will freeze in another month, and if it freezes, the difficulty of digging the well will increase." ”

After hearing this, Ma Dahu nodded and said: "Yes, but you also saw it today, hundreds of people surnamed Liu blocked the way and did not allow them to dig wells in their graveyards, what can they do, if they dig hard, maybe they will die." ”

Ma Dahu also looked very embarrassed after hearing this, although his surname is Ma, and those people are surnamed Liu, but he is the secretary of the party branch of the entire Majia Village, and he has lived with those people surnamed Liu for most of his life, many of them are his old acquaintances, and he can't bear that heart at this time, Ma Dahu feels very embarrassed.

Ma Dahu said: "Mayor Liu, it stands to reason that this is a big problem involving the drinking water of the villagers, and when necessary, you can forcibly move the grave and dig the well, but I am really afraid of the dead." ”

Liu Haobing nodded and said: "Yes, in order to save people but die, that's not what we should see, it seems that we have to think of other ways." ”

Ma Dahu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Haobing is thinking of a way.

Liu Haobing suddenly said: "Ma Zhishu, I can see from the people of the Liu family today that they mainly look at the face of an old man, who is that old man?"

Ma Dahu said: " That old man is the oldest old man in the Liu family, he is eighty-three years old this year, and has a high prestige in the Liu family, which is not the most important, the key is that he has a son, I heard that he is doing business outside, he is very big, very rich, I heard that he came to Liudong City, he is the guest of the municipal party secretary Qu Shengren, the son is very filial, and he wants to take the old man to the city to enjoy happiness, but the old man is unwilling to live or die, saying that even if he dies, he will die in the land of Majia Village, and his son has no way, so he will give money to several brothers in the clan and let them take care of the elderly。 ”

Liu Haobing nodded, although the information Ma Dahu said was very important, it was not the key to solving this matter.

Liu Haobing continued: "Ma Zhishu, you can tell me about the old man's personality, what hobbies the old man has, what he likes to do, you can tell me." ”

Ma Dahu frowned, thought carefully, and suddenly said: "The old man's personality is very hot, but he is a good person, and what the children usually give, he will give to the poor in the village, so in the village, not only in the prestige of the Liu family, but also in the prestige of the Ma family, however, the old man loves to pray in his spare time, and I heard that he believes in Christ, and often goes to pray to bless his son for safety." ”

Liu Haobing was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that he had to do this.
