Chapter 8: Old Squad Leader

Seeing Shi Yonghua and Director Zhang leading the people away, the villagers of Songgang Village rejoiced, since Mayor Zhao had spoken, the crops and fish ponds on the 180 acres of land were saved.

The villagers led by Yuan Lianda and Shanzi surrounded Zhao Changfeng and thanked him vigorously. Zhao Changfeng waved his hand and said, I just did what an ordinary party member should do, what do you thank? You can rest assured that you will take care of the crops, and I will arrange for someone to solve the problem of land requisition compensation for you as soon as possible.

Then Zhao Changfeng asked the villagers how much they knew about the situation in the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line? Why is the No. 1 Python River Bridge thrown here after most of the construction was completed?

"Mayor Zhao, Shanzi knows more about this situation." Yuan Lianda said as he pushed Shanzi in front of Zhao Changfeng, "Shanzi, don't you usually tell us something or something?" Now tell Mayor Zhao what you know. ”

Shanzi scratched his head a little shyly and said, "Mayor Zhao, in fact, I don't know much. It's just that I heard from my classmates who work in the city that the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line didn't seem to be designed like it is now, and the line designed at the beginning was to go south from our Songgang Village after coming to the No. 1 Python River Bridge, and then go to Hengtang and Macong, pass through Dongjiang County, and finally lead to Jiangzhou City. But later, I don't know how it became a direct passage through our Songgang Village, and then a big bend, taking Hongmei, Shitang, Daxi, and then to Dongjiang County. I heard from my classmates that compared with the original design of the line, the current section of the Dongjiang River is not only five kilometers more traveling, but also has to build three more bridges and a tunnel through the mountain, and the cost seems to be more than 100 million yuan. ”

Zhao Changfeng really didn't expect that there would be such rumors in the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line. He said quietly: "Shanzi, what kind of Hengtang and Machong are you talking about, is it closer to the current route?" ”

"It must be close, don't believe you ask me Uncle Yuan." Shanzi pointed at Yuan Lianda and said, "Yes, Uncle Yuan? ”

Yuan Lianda nodded and said: "We don't know anything about this road construction, but from the perspective of distance, we feel that we have to walk Hengtang and Machong at least seven or eight miles closer." ”

Yuan Lianda picked up a branch and gestured on the ground: "And Hengtang and Machong can walk along the foot of the mountain, no need to build a tunnel, and just cross the Python River once." Like the current section of the Dongjiang River, going around on the Python River, four bridges need to be built! ”

Zhao Changfeng pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Shanzi, what is the name of your classmate?" Where do you work? ”

Shanzi was a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, I'm just looking for him to understand the situation, and it won't have any effect on him." Zhao Changfeng said with a smile.

Shanzi bit his lip and hesitated, and Zhao Changfeng said generously when he saw this: "Okay, since you feel embarrassed, forget it." ”

Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, Zhao Changfeng said to Bao Xiaofei: "It's not early, let's go back." Then he said to Yuan Lianda, Shanzi and the villagers: "Folks, goodbye." He walked towards Santana 2000, which was parked under the big banyan tree on the side of the road.

Yuan Lianda stabbed Shanzi hard, and Shanzi finally made up his mind.

Zhao Changfeng opened the car door and was about to get into the car, Shanzi chased after him, he came behind Zhao Changfeng, and turned his head to look at the villagers not far away, and then whispered to Zhao Changfeng: "Mayor Zhao, my classmate is called Lu Dongsheng, who is from Haizhou Transportation Planning and Design Institute. ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Zhao Changfeng smiled and shook Shanzi's hand, and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely not cause trouble to Comrade Lu Dongsheng." ”

Santana 2000 is gone. Shanzi stood in the middle of the road in a daze, looking at his big rough hands, which still had Mayor Zhao's warmth on them.

As soon as Santana 2000 crossed the Lao Python River Bridge, the mobile phone in the handbag rang, Bao Xiaofei connected the mobile phone, and the voice of Ma Qianli, Secretary of the Dongjiang County Party Committee, came from it: "Section Chief Bao, it's me, Ma Qianli of Dongjiang County, Mayor Changfeng is with you now, right?" Can I have a few words with Mayor Changfeng? ”

Bao Xiaofei turned his head, pointed to the mobile phone that pressed the mute button, and said, "Boss, the phone number of Secretary Ma of Dongjiang County." ”

Zhao Changfeng shook his head helplessly, this Ma Qianli's news is really fast enough, I think it should be the Dongjiang section project headquarters that reported the news to Ma Qianli. While thinking, Zhao Changfeng reached out and took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Mayor Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ma Qianli's courteous voice came from the phone, "You come to Dongjiang County to inspect the work, and you don't give notice in advance, so I can arrange the reception work." Now you can see ......"

Zhao Changfeng smiled and said: "Comrade Qianli, don't be so polite, I just hit the Dongjiang River and passed by, so I don't want to alarm the comrades in the county." ”

"Mayor Zhao, I don't care if you pass by or not, since we are on the territory of Dongjiang, our comrades in Dongjiang County must seize this rare opportunity to report to the city leaders." Ma Qianli said respectfully: "Where are you, I will go over to pick you up." ”

"Hehe, next time." Zhao Changfeng smiled and said, "I have now arrived in Haizhou. ”

"Mayor Zhao, this ...... Let others know, don't you scold our Dongjiang County leadership team for dereliction of duty? Ma Qianli's voice sounded full of apology and regret, "Our side is ready, you see ......"

"Comrade Qianli," Zhao Changfeng did not let Ma Qianli continue to play, "Haizhou Dongjiang is a stone's throw away, and there are opportunities." I still have something to do here, so I'll ...... first."

"That doesn't bother you." Ma Qianli hurriedly said: "When is it convenient for you, come to our Dongjiang to guide the work." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Changfeng shook his head gently. In the past, when he was the secretary of the county party committee in Yuehai County, he also had a few photos with Ma Qianli, why didn't he think Ma Qianli was such a person at that time?

At this time, the mobile phone rang again, Bao Xiaofei looked at the phone number, and said to Zhao Changfeng: "It's Director Wei's." This director of health is none other than Wei Jianguo, the former secretary of the Yuehai County Party Committee and later transferred to the Haizhou Labor Bureau as deputy director.

Zhao Changfeng heard that it was Wei Jianguo's phone, so he took the phone, just put it to his ear, and said with a smile: "Old squad leader, I'm Changfeng." What are your instructions? Although Zhao Changfeng's status is now higher than Wei Jianguo's, Zhao Changfeng still maintains enough respect for this old squad leader.

"Mayor Changfeng, you are the city leader, you should have instructed me." Wei Jianguo sighed with emotion, and said with some sadness: "That is, you still remember me as an old squad leader!" ”
