Chapter 29: The Pain of Not Having Money
Director Wen spread his hands and said that he couldn't help. Lei Xiaobo felt a chill in his heart, but he was still unwilling. He took off the leather shoe on his right foot and stretched out the bloody soles of his feet to Director Wen: "Director Wen, look at it." ”
Director Wen looked at it, frowned, and asked, "How did you get this? You had a car accident?"
Lei Xiaobo said sadly: "I went to Qianao Village for three or four days, and I was worn out by this 'Hades Road', and the soles of my leather shoes were worn out, and several blood blisters were worn out. This section of the road is really bad, and if it is not repaired, the road condition will get worse and worse, and it is likely that there will be a major car accident. Small car accidents happen almost every day, and the people are scolded to death. ”
Director Wen tilted his head, not daring to look at his bloody feet again, but his heart was a little loose, and said, "If it is granted to you, can you also think of some ways in your village?"
When Lei Xiaobo heard this, his heart was immediately overjoyed. He stared at Director Wen with bright eyes, and said confidently: "Half of the funds for road construction are half of the ideas in our village and half of the ideas in your county. Director Wen, what do you think?"
"Half of your village's thoughts?" Director Wen looked at him puzzled, "Do you have money in your village?"
Lei Xiaobo said confidently: "There is no money now, but we are thinking of setting up a factory, launching projects, and selling peaches, and it is estimated that we will have money next year." Therefore, this road can be repaired first, and when it is almost repaired, we can pay for half of the money. ”
"Is this true or false?" Director Wen asked with some disbelief, "This is not a joke, and there must be a basis for what you say." ”
Lei Xiaobo swore and said: "I am the assistant party secretary who has just been sent to this village by the Organization Department of the county party committee, and my name is Lei Xiaobo. I am confident that the economy of this village will be improved, so I hope that the county will support us. ”
Director Wen thought to himself, half of your village's ideas, and I will let Yangshu Township think about one-third, so that our county can build this section of the road with only a few hundred thousand yuan. If it is really repaired, it is also the achievement of our Transportation Bureau, and it is also a project of the county government's targeted poverty alleviation, why not promise him first?!
So, he said briskly: "Okay, Assistant Lei, just do as you say, half of your ideas in the village, half of our ideas." Well, our transportation bureau will study it, first approve your approval for building the road, and then implement the funds and prepare to build it. ”
"Great, thank you, Director Wen. Lei Xiaobo stood up happily and said with a smile, "Director Wen, what is your mobile phone number? Next week, I will call to ask about the approval status." Director Wen hesitated for a moment and reported his mobile phone number to him.
Lei Xiaobo saved his number into his mobile phone, thanked him again, and shook hands to say goodbye. He looked for Guo Fengping as he walked down. Guo Fengping was settled in the gatehouse by the security guards, he walked to the door and said to her happily: "Secretary Guo, go." ”
Guo Fengping followed and asked eagerly, "How is the situation?"
Lei Xiaobo walked forward with his right foot little by little, gasping for breath in his mouth, and said, "It's done, go back quickly." ”
Guo Fengping thought he was joking, so he said: "I'm in a hurry, and you're still joking." ”
Lei Xiaobo moved forward in the direction of the bus station with a limp step by step: "No kidding, the Transportation Bureau agreed to approve it first, and then raise funds to build it together." ”
"Really?" Guo Fengping still didn't believe it. Lei Xiaobo gasped in pain and said, "Really." Guo Fengping found that he was holding his right foot, and he was so painful that he didn't dare to step down, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Lei Xiaobo didn't want to tell her, so he lied: "Foot cramps, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”
Guo Fengping didn't care when he heard that it was a cramp in his feet, and when he looked at the sun in the west, it was almost below the horizon, so he urged: "Hurry up, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to catch the last train." He hurried forward.
Lei Xiaobo jumped forward and chased her, but he still walked very slowly. Guo Fengping walked for a while, stopped and waited for him: "Your foot cramps are not good, do you want to take a taxi?" Lei Xiaobo said: "No." ”
There is a road of three or four kilometers from the traffic bureau to the bus station. It takes at least an hour to walk on such a limp. It's only 6 yuan. In order to save the 6 yuan, Lei Xiaobo gritted his teeth and insisted.
After passing by a leather shoe store, Lei Xiaobo really wanted to go in and buy a pair of Nike shoes, but when he thought that he only had more than 400 yuan, he couldn't help but go in to buy them. In the dormitory, he also has a pair of old leather shoes and seventy percent new travel shoes, which can be worn for a while.
At this time, Lei Xiaobo felt the pain of having no money more deeply, hated poverty even more, and longed for prosperity. It also deepened the understanding of the hardships of the poor and gave them a sense of urgency to help the villagers get rid of poverty and become rich.
Under the urging of Guo Fengping, Lei Xiaobo easily walked to the county bus station. Guo Fengping rushed in, went to the ticket window and asked, dumbfounded. The last train to Qianao Village has just left for more than ten minutes.
Guo Fengping was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "What can I do about this? I'm going to live in the county seat tonight, but I didn't bring any money, I didn't expect to spend the night in the county seat." She walked out to herself, as if in a hurry.
"Is there still a car?" Lei Xiaobo had already walked to the door of the ticket hall and asked Guo Fengping.
Guo Fengping was full of sorrow and complained: "The last train just left for more than ten minutes. told you to go faster, you grinded, said it was a cramp in your feet, really. What should I do now? I don't have any money with me, so where did I think of spending the night in the county seat?"
Lei Xiaobo thought that he didn't have much money on him, and he was a little stabbed by Tottenham on his back. He stayed there, looking around blankly. In this unfamiliar county, he had no relatives, and there was no place to spend the night, so he could only stay in a hotel. How much is the cheapest hotel in the area for a night?
He was thinking like this, Guo Fengping looked at him, actually understood that aspect, and asked with ambiguous eyes, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Lei Xiaobo didn't reflect it, and looked at her stunned: "What did you do on purpose?" Guo Fengping stomped his feet and said, "You deliberately walked slowly and wanted to live in the county seat." You, you're so bad. ”
Lei Xiaobo really couldn't cry or laugh: "What am I doing living in the county?" flashed in his mind, and understood what Guo Fengping meant, so he blushed and said, "No, I don't have this idea at all." Secretary Guo, don't you wronged me, okay?"
Guo Fengping saw that he was sincere, so he believed him: "Then you say, what should we do now?"
She is the village party secretary of the poorest and most remote village in the county, and she usually doesn't come to the county seat, so no one in the county knows her. Except for her husband, who is a traffic policeman, she is also unrelated.
Lei Xiaobo thought for a while and said, "There are several ways, one is to return to the village." The second is that we are looking for a place to stay, isn't your husband a traffic policeman in the county seat? You can live with him and have a reunion with him. ”
