Chapter 35: The work is hard
At this time, Chu Tianqi had no time to take care of Ning Junqi's feelings, because he was already on his way to the countryside, but the contradiction between him and her was in the hands of others.
The weather in June was not too hot, and Chu Tianqi felt relatively comfortable riding a motorcycle. Just ten miles out, the gravel road has become muddy, there are many puddles, it seems that it rained yesterday. The weather is so strange: two places a few miles apart, one is raining, the other is probably very clear.
The road became more and more difficult to walk, Chu Tianqi drove the motorcycle carefully, and in particularly difficult places, he got down and pushed the motorcycle.
A "Santana 2000" sedan was parked on the side of the road, with the right front wheel stuck in the muddy water in the ditch next to it, and the other front wheel was on the ground, already suspended from the ground. Originally, Chu Tianqi could pass by from the side, but he still got off the motorcycle and stepped forward.
The people next to the sedan were in a hurry, and a sturdy man circled around the car, wearing gloves, and seemed to be the driver. A bespectacled young man walks back and forth with a briefcase in his hand, his phone in his ear for a while, and then when he takes it down, muttering "broken place".
Chu Tianqi walked over and asked, "Do you need help?"
The driver didn't squeak. The man with glasses saw a passer-by and said angrily, "What can you do?"
Chu Tianqi was about to answer, when a middle-aged man walked over from the side of the crop field and said with a smile: "Young man, do you have a way? "The middle-aged man looked like he was forty-one or two years old, with short hair and a kind speech.
Chu Tianqi noticed that there were a lot of mud spots on the three of them, he looked at the tires stuck in the ditch, and nodded: "Clear the mud first." ”。
Xiao Liu thought to himself: We have already tried, and it is not while cleaning up, and at the same time, there is a new silt flowing over, see what you can do.
"Okay, then please help. The middle-aged man said, and then said to the man with glasses: "Xiao Liu, you two cooperate." ”
Chu Tianqi untied the shovel from the motorcycle and came to the car. The ditch is not deep, mainly because the huge suction of the silt inside sucks the tires, and the key is to remove the thin mud.
Chu Tianqi asked Xiao Liu and the driver to move some stones to the side, put the stones in the ditch, and placed them in the upstream and downstream of the tires, about two feet away from the tires. He used an iron holmium to remove the silt inside, and asked Xiao Liu and the others to quickly put the small stones into the place where the silt was removed, so that after half an hour's efforts, almost all the silt next to the tires was replaced by stones.
Several people worked together to get the car onto the road, the driver started the car, and everything was normal.
"Young man, thank you!" the middle-aged man held Chu Tianqi's hand, "Where are you going?" I'll let the car take you. ”
Letting go of the middle-aged man's hand, Chu Tianqi pointed at the motorcycle with his hand, "I have it, no need for it." With that, he re-tied the holmium to the motorcycle, started the car and slowly drove forward.
The middle-aged man looked at the direction where Chu Tianqi was going, as if talking to himself, and as if he was saying to the people around him: "The method is very important." ”
Chu Tianqi arrived at his destination, Gangou Village, at almost noon, and when he went deep into the villages to investigate, he found that there were hidden safety hazards in the classrooms of primary schools in several villages, and he focused on reinforcing the school houses in the plan, repairing, and even rebuilding. It has been almost a month since the plan was reported to Huang Jingzu and now transferred to Ning Junqi, and there has been no progress except for a few signatures and approvals from Huang Jingzu. And looking at Ning Junqi's attitude, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can have results. But the season waits for no one.
Chang Hai received a call and knew that Chu Tianqi was coming, and he was still waiting in the village committee. As soon as Chu Tianqi arrived, Chang Hai asked, "Assistant Chu, has the plan for the school building been approved, and what are the opinions of the township?"
Chu Tianqi looked at Chang Hai's eager expression, and couldn't tell the actual situation, but said vaguely: "It has been reported to the leader, but it still needs to go through the process, I think we should try our best to do some reinforcement while waiting for approval." ”
Chu Tianqi and Chang Hai went to the village primary school, which has three main rooms and one east room, including two classrooms and a dormitory, and the east room is the teacher's office and kitchen. There are only three children living in the dormitory, all of them left-behind children, their parents go out to work, they eat and live at the school, and the other children go home after school.
There are two teachers in the school, husband and wife, the male teacher is the regular teacher, and the female teacher is only a temporary substitute teacher. When the female teacher Xiao Zhang saw the village director and the township leader coming, she blushed and said a little crampedly: "Director, when can we repair the school building?" Soil often falls in the house, and some of them have wood foam, and it also rains in the house. ”
"The township leaders and I are here to solve this matter. Chang Hai spoke, and took Chu Tianqi to the house again, in fact, Chu Tianqi had already seen it twice.
At noon, Chu Tianqi had dinner at Chang Hai's house, studying solutions while eating.
"Assistant Chu, the school houses were all built in the fifties, and the materials and workmanship at that time were average. After another 40 or 50 years of wind and rain, coupled with insects drilling holes and rats burrowing, it is now a real dilapidated house. Chang Hai sighed, "A few years ago, the village reported to the top, but there was no result, and the village had to cover it with plastic sheeting, and the bad place was muddy, but this is not a way after all!"
"I know this, you have said it, there is no other way. Chu Tianqi asked.
"What else can be done?" Chang Hai was helpless, "Originally, I also considered giving the houses of the village brigade to the school, but those houses are also more than forty years old, especially there is a ditch behind the house, and when it rains, the water from the dirt slope behind will wash the back wall of the house, which is also very dangerous." ”
The two of them thought of some more ways, but they all denied them one by one, the key is that they all involve one word: money, without money, nothing can be solved.
"Do you think this will work?" Chu Tianqi smiled and said, "There are still a few pieces of wood in your courtyard, can you take them out first?"
Chang Hai hurriedly said: "Assistant Chu, those few pieces of wood are also the materials for making rafters, not even enough for a house, and besides, it is for me to rebuild the south room, and now the wood is still a lot worse, so I have been putting it like this." If it is used for the school, I don't know when my south room will be flipped. ”
"Chang, having said that, once the school building collapses, if you injure or kill someone, you will be held responsible, and you may be sentenced to prison if you fail to be the village director. Chu Tianqi deliberately said it more heavily.
Chang Hai was silent, and a worried look flashed across his face.
"Lao Chang, besides, almost all the children in the school are from your Lao Chang family, even the children with foreign surnames have grown up watching from childhood, all of them are grandchildren, nephews, and even grandchildren. If they make a mistake, your conscience will be at peace for the rest of your life. Chu Tianqi decided to strike while the iron was hot, and said earnestly, "Those few pieces of wood are indeed only enough to make a house, so let's rebuild the teacher's office first, once it rains heavily, the teacher and the child will at least have a place to take refuge." ”
Chang Hai was also moved by what Chu Tianqi said, but he still said worriedly: "It's not enough to have a few pieces of wood." ”
Chu Tianqi took his bag, took out five hundred yuan from it, handed it to Chang Hai, and said sincerely: "Take this money to buy some cement, and if there is anything left, buy some plastic cloth to plug the leaking place." ”
Chang Hai hurriedly pushed away the money handed over by Chu Tianqi, and said with a red face: "How can you use your money, you only earn three hundred yuan a month, and you only save five hundred a year." You ......"
"Chang, listen to me, you take this first. Chu Tianqi interrupted Chang Hai's words, "There is also the problem of stones, you can use local materials, and then find the bricklayers, carpenters, and strong workers in the village, and let them work, which is considered to be a volunteer work, and the village will remember it." In addition, your timber will also be converted into money, and the village or village will give you money at that time. ”
Chang Hai saw that Chu Tianqi was thoughtful and determined to give money, so he put the money away and said "thank you" repeatedly.
Finally, it was agreed to flip the teacher's office during the summer vacation.
Chu Tianqi left Gangou Village and rode a motorcycle to another village. In this way, Chu Tianqi has been out for four days according to the progress of running two villages a day, leaving early and returning late.
In the past few days, the township leaders have ignored Chu Tianqi, especially Ning Junqi, as if he didn't exist, seeing that he was either hiding, or twisting his head to the side as if no one was around. Chu Tianqi doesn't care, it's better this way, no one interferes, I can do more, run to the village every day, and save myself from seeing Ning Junqi and Wen Bin's stinky faces.
The school buildings in other villages are in better condition than in Gangou Village, so he arranged for village leaders to organize manpower and use local materials to strengthen them.
The villages had different reactions to Chu Tianqi's arrangement, and some villages were more active and were already making preparations. Most of the village leaders thought that Chu Tianqi was making a big fuss and responded to it face to face, but they didn't think so in their hearts. Regarding the thoughts of some village leaders, Chu Tianqi also understands that he can only supervise and inspect more when the time comes.
Without the strong support of the township and superiors, and the attitude of the villages was generally not very positive, Chu Tianqi's work was very difficult, but he felt a great sense of accomplishment. He has his own way of comparison, the plan has been reported for a month, there is no substantive progress, and he is still pressed by the township chief, and now he has only been in the countryside for four days, and the village has already started to act, this is the result. This comparison is the method of spiritual victory.
On the fifth day of going to the countryside, Chu Tianqi was having lunch at the house of the village director of Wangjiabao when the phone rang. The village director picked up the phone, and just after feeding, a voice came out of the microphone: "Is Assistant Chu here?" The village director hurriedly gave the phone receiver to Chu Tianqi.
Chu Tianqi picked up the earpiece and said, "I'm Chu Tianqi." ”
"Assistant Chu, you must rush back to the township before three o'clock in the afternoon. Wen Bin's voice came from inside.
Chu Tianqi was just about to speak, when a "beep" sound came from the phone, and he had already hung up.
