Chu Tianqi put the phone case in the crossbody bag as he walked, and went downstairs with Ning Junqi.

When he came downstairs, he went directly to the 212 car in the township, and Ning Junqi sat in the passenger seat. Chu Tianqi got into the back seat, and Hao Xiaoyan and Gao Yuan were already in the car. got Ning Junqi's order to "drive", the driver Xiao Meng stepped on the accelerator, and the 212 car started.

People all the way, everyone talked about today's awards, only Chu Tianqi said relatively little, and only took a sentence or two when others asked him.

Seeing Chu Tianqi's preoccupied look, Hao Xiaoyan joked: "Deputy Township Chief Chu, are you still reminiscing about receiving the award, and you haven't slowed down?"

Ning Junqi turned his head and answered: "He, he was stunned by happiness, and it is estimated that he will not be able to slow down for a while." Her words were tinged with sourness.

Chu Tianqi understood the meaning of Ning Junqi's words, but he didn't say anything, just smiled at everyone, and said, "There is nothing to do." ”

Hao Xiaoyan didn't know the episode of "sending a mobile phone", and thought that Ning Junqi was talking about Chu Tianqi receiving the award, so he joked again: "Deputy Township Chief Chu, it seems that you still need to practice well, and you are far worse than the township chief in this regard." You see that the township chief also received the award, but the people just look the same, but you haven't eased up, this is the gap. Speaking of this, she changed her words: "Of course, you are much stronger than me, I would like to be corona like you, but I don't have this opportunity at all." It's really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away!"

"Sister Hao, you don't know, people's happiness came too suddenly, too violently, of course, it will have an endless aftertaste. Ning Junqi still said with jealousy.

Hao Xiaoyan echoed loudly: "Yes, yes, the aftertaste is endless!"

Listening to Ning Junqi and Hao Xiaoyan's singing and harmonizing, Chu Tianqi knew that what they said was not the same thing at all, so he couldn't interject, just smirked awkwardly.

At this time, Gao Yuan, who had not spoken, said coldly: "Looking at the appearance of Deputy Township Chief Chu, it doesn't look like he won an award, but it looks like he was kissed by a beautiful woman." Otherwise, why can't he slow down until now?"

"Hahaha......" Hao Xiaoyan couldn't stop laughing at Gao Yuan, and said after a while: "Deputy Township Chief Gao, your imagination is really rich, isn't it what you see?"

Ning Junqi's face turned red with a "brush", and he said with an unnatural expression: "Deputy Township Chief Gao, I usually see you as a decent person, why do you have times when you are out of tune?"

Before Gao Yuan could pick up, Hao Xiaoyan spoke again: "What Deputy Township Chief Gao said has a certain truth, otherwise, it has been so long since the meeting was dismissed, and he hasn't come down for a long time, who knows what he did." Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly laughed again, and glanced at Ning Junqi from time to time.

Ning Junqi saw Hao Xiaoyan's eyes, and understood what she meant by looking at herself, which was clearly talking about the late arrival of herself and Chu Tianqi. So, he didn't say anything, just turned his head back with a red face and looked ahead.

Hao Xiaoyan not only didn't stop because of Ning Junqi's ignorance, but laughed even harder, and under her influence, Gao Yuan also laughed.

Chu Tianqi muttered, "They are all sick. ”

Hao Xiaoyan obviously heard Chu Tianqi's words, and said in a strange manner: "Don't recruit yourself, haha......" The unbridled laughter of Hao Xiaoyan and Gao Yuan suddenly sounded in the carriage.

……

When we returned to the village, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone went to the government canteen to eat and returned to their respective offices.

The first thing Chu Tianqi did after returning to the office was to take the phone case out of his bag, open the filing cabinet and put it in. Looking at this exquisite box, Chu Tianqi's expression was complicated, he knew that this was Ouyang Yuna's intention, but he always felt that it was a burden, not only because the gift was too expensive, but also because his heart could not accept this intention.

"Ding Woo Woo", the internal phone on the desk rang.

Chu Tianqi locked the filing cabinet, walked to the table and picked up the telephone receiver, and the voice of the director of the Party and Government Office came out: "Township Chief Chu, Secretary Huang asked to notify the meeting to be held before three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and if it is in advance, it will be notified." The main purpose of the meeting was to study the No. 1 document of the Central Committee, and also to implement the spirit of the economic work conference of the county party committee. Speaking of this, the director paused for a moment, and then said, "The secretary especially emphasized that everyone should bring their feelings after reading the article of Ouyang reporter from the provincial newspaper, and everyone should make a statement at that time." ”

Chu Tianqi secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, he still doesn't give up.

Unable to hear Chu Tianqi's echo, the director asked loudly, "Township Chief Chu, do you understand?"

Chu Tianqi came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly replied, "Understood, understood." ”

"Okay, then I'll hang up. After the director finished speaking, the sound of the phone hanging up came from inside.

As soon as Chu Tianqi put down the telephone receiver, there was a knock on the door. He gathered his mind and said, "Please come in." As soon as the door opened, Yang Daqing walked in.

"Township Chief Chu, are you busy now? Today, the repair of the reservoir and the drilling of wells have begun, do you want to go and have a look?" Yang Daqing said as soon as he entered the door.

Chu Tianqi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go to repair the reservoir today, and I'll go to see the well tomorrow." After speaking, he walked out with Yang Daqing and went to the party and government office to find the director to send a car.

……

asked the director to send the new drivers Xiao Hao and Chu Tianqi to the labor site, and Xiao Hao drove another 212 car in the township. Xiao Hao is twenty-two or three years old, with a medium build, hairy hair, and looks very energetic.

Soon, the car arrived at Xiliang Village, where the reservoir is located. Far away, Chu Tianqi saw that the red flag was fierce in the reservoir, and there were many people.

As soon as the 212 car stopped, Chu Tianqi jumped out of the car. At this time, several people had already walked towards Chu Tianqi, and the first one was Liu Danian, the secretary of Liulinbao Village.

From afar, Liu Danian applauded with the people behind him as he walked, and said loudly: "Welcome leaders to come and inspect." ”

Chu Tianqi took a few steps and shook hands with everyone one by one.

"Township Chief Chu, you are in your busy schedule, and being able to go to the construction site in person makes us feel encouraged, full of enthusiasm and confidence. Liu Danian continued to speak flatteringly.

Several village cadres in the back also echoed: "That is, that is, we are full of enthusiasm and a hundred times more hearted." ”

"You're welcome, you've worked hard. Chu Tianqi said

"Don't work hard, serve the people, and share worries for the leaders. Several people said in unison, their voices were still very uniform, and they stood up almost at the same time.

Chu Tianqi couldn't help but laugh at the funny appearance of several village cadres, so he smiled and said, "Leaders, how about we go to the front scene to see?"

"Okay, okay, leader, please. Liu Danian made a "please" gesture and walked forward with Chu Tianqi.

The place where you get off is not far from the reservoir, just a few steps away.

The Qingniuyu Reservoir is not large, but when it was first built, it contributed a lot to the development of local agriculture. Later, with the destruction of the ecology and some other factors, the local drought was nine times in ten years, and the Qingniuyu Reservoir, which was used as a reserve of rainwater and irrigation fields, was slowly abandoned. During the rainy season every year, water can be stored for a few days, and at other times, there is only loess, weeds, and stones.

When he came to the edge of the reservoir, Chu Tianqi saw that the reservoir was dusty and noisy. According to the division of labor, the tools in each person's hands are naturally different. Some with pickaxes, some with shovels, some with baskets, and still others with ropes and woven bags. Some people are plowing, some are shoveling, some are carrying baskets, and some are carrying bulging bags on their backs, transporting miscellaneous materials.

Just after the Qingming Festival, the lunar calendar is late February, and the local temperature is only about 10 degrees during the day, and there are three or four winds. But the labor scene was in full swing, and from time to time someone waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat beads on his face.

"Township Chief Chu, look over there. Liu Danian pointed with his hand and said.

Chu Tianqi looked in the direction of Liu Danian's finger and saw a red flag planted on the edge of the reservoir, a total of nine red flags were planted around the reservoir, and the red flag he saw now was the largest. Under the blowing of the breeze, the red flag was fluttering fiercely, and there were a few words on it, because the shaking of the red flag from time to time could not be seen clearly.

With Liu Danian and the others, Chu Tianqi walked in front of the big red flag. Two people grabbed one end of the red flag, and Chu Tianqi saw clearly the content of the golden font on it: repair the reservoir, lead the high-level recruitment, prevent drought and flood, and benefit the villagers.

"Who came up with the words on this?" Chu Tianqi asked, pointing to the red flag.

"It's what Liu Sanye thinks. Liu Danian replied.

Chu Tianqi nodded, said two "good" words, and didn't say anything more. Instead, he changed the topic and said to Yang Daqing and the village cadres beside him: "You must pay attention to safety, you should keep an eye on the scene, and you must not have an accident." ”

"Yes, yes. They replied.

"Township Chief Chu, the main purpose of this reservoir repair work is to clean up soil, stones, and debris. The tools used are mainly pickaxes, shovels, earthen baskets, etc., and the danger procedures are low. I arranged for village cadres from several villages to take turns to lead the shift, and at least two village cadres were present every day, and the villagers who went out to work that day were also from the village where the village cadres were leading, so that it was easier to manage. I also come here often, one to see the progress and quality, and the other to check the safety hazards. Yang Daqing reported.

"Okay, despite all these measures, we still can't be careless. Chu Tianqi said solemnly, "In addition to the safety of the construction of the reservoir site, we should also pay attention to the safety on the road." ”

Chu Tianqi grew up in the countryside and knew that when people returned to the village after collective labor, they would usually take an open tricycle or other agricultural vehicle. Often a small car is crowded with people, and people will laugh loudly and even laugh on it, which is a safety hazard.

Everyone nodded yes.

Chu Tianqi walked around the scene, and went to the reservoir to see the frozen soil situation, and then prepared to return to the township.

After saying "goodbye" to everyone, Chu Tianqi was just about to get in the car, and Liu Danian spoke: "Township Chief Chu, I want to say a few words to you, is it okay?"

Chu Tianqi turned around and said, "Yes, of course." ”

After getting Chu Tianqi's reply, Liu Danian did not speak immediately, but pointed with his hand and motioned for Chu Tianqi to go to the side.

Chu Tianqi shook slightly, and walked to the side with Liu Danian.

The rest of the people stood by the car, looking at Liu Danian and Chu Tianqi, who were chatting happily in the distance, and were envious. They envied Liu Danian, and envied that he had been promoted from village director to village secretary, and the village director was also nominated by him. I envy him for having such an outstanding "son-in-law".

Liu Danian actually didn't say anything secret to Chu Tianqi, he just said some words of thanks, thanking Chu Tianqi for helping him become the village secretary.

Chu Tianqi was noncommittal, but said, "It's nothing. ”

Liu Danian was proud when he saw the people looking at him from time to time in the distance, and he called Chu Tianqi to the distance, just to create a sense of mystery for the other village leaders, and make them think that he had an unusual relationship with Chu Tianqi.

Chu Tianqi actually understood Liu Danian's little tricks, but he was from the same village, and Liu Danian had helped his family in the past two years, so he gave him this face.

It's just that what Chu Tianqi didn't expect was that the normal work content of today's inspection and repair of the reservoir has become a lever for some people to attack him.
