After getting off work, Yue Haohan went back to his room at the agricultural technology station, borrowed a tricycle from the small shop opposite, and put a sack of Ming Tan that Zeng Jianhui and Li Qingming gave him last night on the tricycle, and gave Deng Xuan a camel.

When Yue Haohan pushed the tricycle to the small courtyard of Deng Xuanfa's house, Lin Ping, a member of the propaganda committee, and Zhu Jinshan, secretary of the branch of Longwanghe Village, were sitting next to a pot of charcoal in the living room, roasting the fire and chatting.

Seeing Yue Haohan pushing a tricycle into the yard, Zhu Jinshan hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and walked out, helping to lift the charcoal on the tricycle and put it next to the kitchen; Deng Xuanfa heard the noise in the yard, came out of the kitchen, and said with a smile, Haohan is here, where can I get this bag of charcoal?

Yue Haohan said: Zeng Jianhui and Li Qingming at the joint checkpoint got it last night, and I still have a bag there.

Deng Xuanfa said, your aunt also said, let me buy some charcoal tomorrow, I don't need to buy this bag; It's cold outside, you hurry into the house and talk to Commissioner Lin, and the hot pot will be ready immediately.

Yue Haohan entered the living room, Lin Ping had already poured a cup of tea for Yue Haohan and put it on the coffee table, Yue Haohan stood in the living room and looked at Lin Ping, and said, Hello Commissioner Lin!

Lin Ping smiled and said, Haohan, sit down and drink tea.

After the three of them sat down by the brazier, Lin Ping asked, Haohan, how does it feel to work here in the township government? Is it not as comfortable as the black Yazi management area? How do I see you being stuffy in the office every day, and you don't come to our publicity office to visit the door.

Yue Haohan smiled and said, Commissioner Lin, I followed my grandfather Luo's instructions, listened more, watched more, and spoke less.

Zhu Jinshan said, I agree with the vastness, and the place of our township government is originally a place of right and wrong.

Lin Ping turned her head and looked at Zhu Jinshan, and said, Secretary Zhu, don't talk nonsense, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth, it's okay to talk about it here, don't talk nonsense outside. Don't forget, Deng Shaojie is an example, drinking and talking nonsense, it will make people hold a grudge, last year's son was a soldier, but he didn't leave.

Zhu Jinshan said that Deng Chen, Shaojie's family, didn't make it last year, but fortunately, in November this year, wasn't he specially recruited from school into the BJ Military Region? It was someone from the army who picked people up directly, and I heard Shaojie say that it was a special soldier. At that time, the chief of the enlistment section of the county armed forces department said that Deng Chen was a special soldier and belonged to a special recruitment, and all the materials for external transfer were secretly carried out by the troops.

Yue Haohan listened to Zhu Jinshan's story, smiled slightly, and did not interject, Zhu Jinshan finished speaking, turned his head to look at Yue Haohan, and asked, Haohan, I heard Deng Shaochun say something once, saying that it was a favor from you, is it true.

Yue Haohan said, the most important thing is that Deng Chen is qualified, the last time I went to Jianghan with Township Chief Deng, I happened to meet my girlfriend Ziying's brother, who came to the Central South Provincial Military Region to coordinate the recruitment of special forces, so I told him Deng Chen's situation, and I really didn't help anything else.

Lin Ping asked with a smile, Haohan, you are college classmates, your girlfriend must be very beautiful, when will you bring it for us to see; Where does your girlfriend work? What for?

Yue Haohan glanced at Lin Ping and said that his girlfriend was in Donghai, and after graduation, he was assigned to the municipal government, and now he works in the preparatory department of the Donghai Stock Exchange.

Lin Ping exclaimed and said, Oh my God! In the East China Sea? Big city, it's too far, what will you do when you get married in the future? Separation? Really, one in heaven and the other on earth, how will you live?

While chatting, Deng Xuanfa came in with a copper charcoal hot pot, a smell of hares' meat, rushing to his face, Zhu Jinshan pulled the dining table and put it in the middle of the living room, Deng Xuanfa put the hot pot on the table, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the tableware.

Some preparations were ready, and everyone let Lin Ping sit on the top, Lin Ping drank the rice wine that Zhang Cailing cooked for her, and Yue Haohan and the three of them drank the corn wine brewed locally in the countryside of Jiangyang.

The first glass of wine was naturally done by everyone, after drinking, Deng Xuanfa let a few people eat the rabbit meat in the hot pot, and after eating for a while, Deng Xuanfa put down the chopsticks and asked, vast, the commencement ceremony of the bridge construction on December 18, do you know?

Yue Haohan said, I know, in the morning, Wu Tao asked me to write a speech for Secretary Wu at the groundbreaking ceremony, and told me that the 18th was ready to start construction. This morning, Miao Xiaoqin transferred 1.5 million yuan of funds for the construction of the bridge from the finance office to the account of the headquarters. Initially, didn't the county say that it would be used for a million dollars? How did it become a transfer of 500,000 now?

Deng Xuanfa picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat, and said, I analyzed it, first, Secretary Chen of the county party committee has always insisted on not allowing the adjustment, and Secretary Gu and County Magistrate Feng had to give in; Second, Wang Haijiang, executive deputy county magistrate, intends to do this, first say that the adjustment of 1 million will be used, Secretary Chen will definitely not agree, and then take a step back and adjust 500,000 yuan, and it will be difficult for Secretary Chen to stalemate again.

Yue Haohan said, I believe, these are the two reasons. In addition, I also heard Miao Xiaoqin tell me in the morning that the project was undertaken by the county second construction company, and after the county second construction company signed the contract, the project was subcontracted to Wu Yongqiang, who built the township government building, and Wu Yongqiang had never built a bridge. Can the quality of the bridge be guaranteed in the future?

Deng Xuanfa said that the project has been delayed for so long, isn't it that Secretary Wu and Township Chief He are secretly fighting for the right to manage funds and the right to issue construction contracts.

Lin Ping said, what can you do in this winter? I feel like it's going to be a ceremony first, and then we're going to put it there, and then we're going to start work next spring. It is estimated that Secretary Wu is afraid of long nights and dreams, so let Wu Yongqiang move first.

Zhu Jinshan said, how did I hear that we are still going to let the masses raise funds, didn't I say that we would not show a penny to the people? Township Chief Deng, is it true that you want to raise funds?

Deng Xuanfa said that there is such a possibility, but there has not been a meeting to study it, and the 1.5 million yuan fund is definitely not enough to build a bridge, and if there is no other source of funds, I estimate that Secretary Wu will fight the people's idea again.

Yue Haohan said, if the county doesn't transfer 500,000 yuan, it's enough, I don't know what Secretary Gu and County Magistrate Feng think? Why do you have to pluck the goose? Is the county really short of these 500,000 yuan in funds?

I heard that the boss behind the road maintenance from the county seat to Shijiawan Town is Wang Pengfei, the son of Wang Haijiang who works in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and Wang Pengfei has partnered with others to open a company, mainly engaged in highway construction.

Deng Xuanfa said, no wonder!

Yue Haohan asked, Wang Pengfei is now working in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? I know him, the year before last, he had dinner with Ning Haiping, the captain of the criminal police team, at a stall, and he brought a group of thugs to make trouble there. Why did he go to work at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?

Lin Ping said, people have a good father, when recruiting, who knows what Wang Haijiang did in the back, as far as his baby son, I know, didn't really graduate from high school, I don't know what to do, if you really pass the exam, just like Wang Pengfei, it is a blessing not to hand in a blank paper.

Deng Xuanfa said, don't say it, don't say it, if you say it, people will be angry in their hearts! We continued to drink. As he spoke, he raised his glass, and several people toasted another glass of wine together.

After eating the chopsticks, Zhu Jinshan put the chopsticks and ate the dishes, and said, yesterday the party and government office asked the management area to notify the village, so that the villages can organize people at home at the time, and tomorrow they will go to the Longwang River to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony.

Lin Ping said, do some showmanship! It doesn't cost anything to engage in this form? Shouldn't the cost still be spent on the bridging funds when the time comes? Originally, the money to build the bridge was not enough, and I don't know what they thought.

Zhu Jinshan said, what do you think, some people are sticking gold on their faces, snatching the fruits of victory from Township Chief Deng and Xiaoyue! In fact, we ordinary people know very well in our hearts, who is really doing things for the people, who can only play lip service, everyone knows.

Deng Xuanfa said, don't talk about it, let's continue to drink. Deng Xuanfa spoke, picked up the wine glass and began to toast, after a round of wine, Zhang Peiling served a few more stir-fried dishes, and then sat down next to Yue Haohan and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.

After everyone toasted a round of wine, Zhang Peiling went to the kitchen to cook dumplings, and when the dumplings were cooked, Deng Xuanfa picked up the door cup and said, let's drink this glass of wine, eat dumplings, leeks and mutton filling.

After the meal, everyone sat and chatted for a while before leaving one after another.

On December 17, Wu Tao, director of the Party and Government Office, took Yue Haohan, Miao Xiaoqin, Huang Caifeng of the Party and Government Office, Huang Shengjie of the Organization Office, and teachers and other staff seconded from the Township Middle School to the Heiyazi Management Area by a bus.

The venue is invited by Wu Yongqiang two bulldozers and an excavator, in the Longwang River by the management area of the central primary school, launched a very large field, it is estimated that it can accommodate more than 1,000 people, in the field close to the river to set up a simple rostrum, behind the rostrum hung a banner with white characters on a red background, which reads: "Wulong Township Heiyazi Management Area Longwang River Bridge Construction Groundbreaking Ceremony", on both sides of the rostrum and the edge of the field opposite the rostrum is planted with a lot of colorful flags.

On the 18th, the weather was unusually clear, just a slight north wind, the temperature by the river was slightly lower, and it was still a little cold in the morning.

When it was almost nine o'clock, hundreds of primary school students from the central primary school of the Heiyazi Management Area also lined up in a neat line, each holding a stool in their hands, and went to the rostrum and sat there neatly in class order.

At nine o'clock, the leaders of the township and county had not yet arrived, the sun was warm, the temperature had risen, and there were about a few hundred villagers nearby.

Waited until about half past ten, looking from a distance from the venue, the 212 jeep of the Wulong Township Government walked in the front, followed by four black Santana cars, which naturally formed a convoy and drove over slowly.

The convoy arrived at the edge of the leveled field and slowly stopped one after another, and the 212 jeep that was walking in front had just stopped, and Wu Youde, secretary of the township party committee, got out of the front passenger seat, and Deng Xuanfa and He Anqing followed closely behind and pushed open the back door of the jeep and jumped out of the car.

After Wu Youde got out of the car, he turned around and walked towards the first Santana sedan that was following closely behind and had just stopped, and when he arrived at the Santana car, Wu Youde bent down and pulled the back door of the car, Chen Guoyun, deputy secretary of the county party committee, came out of the car, shook hands with Wu Youde, stood next to the car and looked around at the crowd, Liu Huamin also got down from the passenger seat and said hello to Wu Youde.

After Wu Youde shook hands with Chen Guoyun, he walked quickly to the second Santana car, and just arrived at the car, Wang Haijiang, the executive deputy county magistrate, had already pushed the car door from the back of the car, walked down, shook hands with Wu Youde with a smile on his face, and said, Youde, yes, the preparation is quite sufficient, it is very lively, and it is very atmospheric.

Wu Youde smiled, shook Wang Haijiang's hand with both hands, and said, thank you County Magistrate Wang for your concern, I have won the award, I have won the award, I am not ready, County Magistrate Wang should criticize more!

After greeting Wang Haijiang, Wu Youde went over to greet the people who got up and down in the two cars behind him, and the last two cars, one car got up and down was Zhang Guoqing, the general manager of the Jiangyang County Second Construction Company, and the other car got up and down was Wu Yongqiang, the engineering agent of the Second Construction Company; It seems that Wu Yongqiang is the actual builder of the Longwang River bridge construction.

A group of people stood on the side of the field, greetings, shook hands, Wu Tao, director of the party and government office, came over, greeted everyone, to the rostrum of the ceremony venue, Chen Guoyun, deputy secretary of the county party committee, and Wang Haijiang, executive deputy county magistrate, stood side by side in the middle, Chen Guoyun stood next to Wu Youde, Wang Haijiang stood next to He Anqing, Wu Youde's left hand position stood Zhang Guoqing, He Anqing's right hand next to Wu Yongqiang, Deng Xuanfa stood on the far left, Wu Tao stood on the far right.
