Duan Kefan waved his hand very proudly and laughed: "Old branch secretary, I always believe that nothing can be done if you can't think of it, as long as this plan is really feasible and helpful to the future development of Rongshu Village, I am confident that I will be able to win the support of the county......

Wang Caihou was obviously not as optimistic as Duan Kefan, shook his head and said: "I'm just afraid of the difficulty, let's not talk about the county's willingness to allocate money, first of all, Xiaping Village will definitely not agree to your plan, you are a city person may not know, water source is the lifeblood for us ordinary people who farm, it is common for the village group to break the braincase in order to grab the water source, not to mention that you have to dig a tunnel and divert the Xidong River, and the people of Xiaping Village are willing to do it......"

Duan Kefan smiled confidently and said: "It's a matter of people, if there are problems, let's solve them one by one, the old branch secretary, you should know the branch secretary of Xiaping Village, can you take me to get to know him, let's get his work done first......"

"The branch secretary of Xiaping Village?......" Wang Caihou showed a strange smile on his face, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I know but I know, that's an old fox, a dead spirit, and he never wants to suffer a loss, you have to let him agree to you open a tunnel in the Xidong River to divert the water, unless the sun comes out from the west......"

Duan Kefan waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "It doesn't matter if the dead spirit dies, I'm afraid that he is not shrewd enough, then trouble the old branch secretary to lead the way, and we will meet this shrewd Xiaping Village branch secretary......"

He Shoutian, the party secretary of Xiaping Village, and Wang Caihou are contemporaries, five or six years younger than Wang Caihou, but his prestige in Xiaping Village is obviously much higher than Wang Caihou's in Rongshu Village, so he has not stepped down so far, and he can be regarded as the oldest and longest-serving village party secretary in the entire Dajie Town. Under his leadership, Xiaping Village has always been the best and richest village in Dapai Town's economic development, and has been rated as an advanced village every year.

The prestige of the years not only makes He Shoutian speak well in the village, but also in the town, and the first thing every town leader does after taking office is to visit him, the respected village party secretary. He has also been elected as a deputy to the county people's congress and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference many times, and several county party secretaries and county magistrates have personally received him, worn a big red flower for him, and awarded awards.

These undoubtedly make He Shoutian very bullish and temperamental. It is said that there was once a deputy county magistrate who came down to Xiaping Village to inspect, the deputy county magistrate came down from the province to take up a temporary post, he did not know much about the rural situation, and he liked to issue instructions indiscriminately, and the general village party secretary encountered this situation, at most he secretly laughed in his heart, and listened to it, but He Shoutian did not leave any face for the deputy county magistrate, and quarreled with the deputy county magistrate on the spot, and finally directly left the deputy county magistrate and a large group of accompanying town government cadres there, and went home to drink alone, which made the deputy county magistrate very unable to get off the stage, but he couldn't help the old branch secretary, and finally had to make a humble and high-profile attitude to bow his head and apologize to He Shoutian。 Therefore, Wang Caihou said that even if the county agreed to Duan Kefan's plan and promised to allocate money, if He Shoutian could not pass this pass, the plan would still not be implemented.

Although He Shoutian is only five or six years younger than Wang Caihou, he looks much younger than Wang Caihou, his face is full of red light, and his clothes are different from those of ordinary peasants, with white shirts and black leather shoes, and a big back hair, very stylish as an old cadre in the eighties and nineties.

Seeing Wang Caihou arrive with Duan Kefan, He Shoutian was very surprised, and said with a haha: "Brother Caihou, you are a rare guest, our brothers haven't seen each other for a few days, what kind of wind blew your brother here today?" Come, come, sit in the house ......."

said enthusiastically, but He Shoutian's face was obviously a little arrogant, the status of Xiaping Village and Rongshu Village in Dapao Town can be said to be a dragon head and a pig's tail, not to mention that Wang Caihou has stepped down as the village party secretary for many years, and now he is just a flat-headed person, He Shoutian naturally has to hold on, and did not immediately get up to greet Wang Caihou and Duan Kefan after seeing them, but waited for the two to come to the front before they stood up and shook hands with Wang Caihou lightly, as for Duan Kefan who was following Wang Caihou, he just swept it with the corner of his eye, and directly ignored it。

In fact, He Shoutian guessed Duan Kefan's identity, as an old branch secretary who is famous in the entire Dajiao Town, a young college student village official came to Rongshu Village, and he also made Wang Dakui disgraced, He Shoutian naturally heard about it, but He Shoutian was very disapproving, he thought that Wang Dakui was too incompetent, and he couldn't even clean up a college student village official who had just graduated from school, if he was changed to Xiaping Village, he dared not listen to him He Shoutian, see how I clean you up, which also made him very disgusted with Duan Kefan, who had never met, and naturally he would not give him a good look。

He Shoutian's home is more luxuriously decorated than Wang Dakui's house, it is a bit of a country villa, the house is also pasted with floor tiles, He Shoutian's wife is also diligent, and the floor is wiped bright, Wang Caihou looked at the liberation shoes with a hole in the foot and a lot of mud, rubbed his hands a little crampedly, and said: "He Zhishu, let's not enter the house, our feet are dirty, don't step on the floor of your house, you smoke two stools, and we will talk about the vernacular in your yard......"

He Shoutian was just putting on a show, and he didn't really plan to take Wang Caihou and Duan Kefan to his home, and beckoned his wife to take two low-legged benches out, and the three of them sat down in the courtyard, He Shoutian still didn't look at Duan Kefan, and said in a long tone to Wang Caihou: "Brother Caihou, you must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what's the matter?......"

Wang Cai glanced at Duan Kefan, although Duan Kefan didn't know why he met He Shoutian for the first time, he kept ignoring himself as if he was very uninterested in himself, but since He Shoutian had such an attitude, it was obviously not a good time for him to speak, so he nodded to Wang Caihou, and motioned for him to communicate directly with He Shoutian, and he listened for the time being to see what He Shoutian's attitude was.

As soon as Wang Caihou said Duan Kefan's idea of opening a tunnel to divert the Xidong River to Rongshu Village, He Shoutian glanced at Duan Kefan, guessing that most of this plan was thought up by this young college student village official, and secretly said that these students from the city were really unreliable, so he knew that it was whimsical, so he made a big haha and said: "Brother Caihou, you Rongshu Village is really a toad yawning--- what a big breath, this mountain opening tunnel is a big project, and there are tens of millions of dollars to take it?" Besides, the Xidong River belongs to our Xiaping Village, so why should it be diverted to Rongshu Village? Don't even think about it......
