When he woke up in the morning, Yue Haohan's head was still slightly swollen. Last night, at Wang Hongbin's house in Longwanghe Village, I drank three bowls of rice wine in the next year, and after drinking rice wine, I couldn't bear Wang Hongbin's bitter persuasion, and then drank a few large glasses of liquor; In the rural areas of Jiangyang, when entertaining distinguished guests at home, they generally pay attention to 'roasting yellow wine and two wines' to drink yellow wine first, and then drink soju.

It wasn't until more than ten o'clock in the evening that Yue Haohan and Deng Shaochun walked slowly from Wang Hongbin's house in Longwanghe Village to the station of the management area, and when crossing the Longwang River, Deng Shaochun, who was a little drunk, accidentally fell into the river from the Manshui Bridge, fortunately, the river was shallow, Yue Haohan was still relatively sober, and hurriedly pulled Deng Shaochun up from the river.

Deng Shaochun's clothes were wet with the cold river water, and the person shivered, a little sober, and scolded in his mouth, saying, those bastards in the township only know how to collect money, and don't care about the life or death of our people, Leader Yue, as long as the bridge starts to be built on the Longwang River, Wang Hongbin can donate 2,000, I will donate 5,000.

Yue Haohan supported Deng Shaochun, who was wet, and said, Shaochun, my point of view is that to build a bridge on the Longwang River, you should not have a showdown with the people to raise a penny, the money given above is enough, and it is not easy for the people to earn a penny.

Yue Haohan helped Deng Shaochun, who was swaying left and right, along the way, and sent him home, and then returned to the management area, washed up briefly, poured a cup of boiled water and put it at the head of the bed, and fell asleep.

Yue Haohan, who woke up in the morning, lay on the bed, quietly recalling the words that Deng Xuan told himself on the phone yesterday afternoon, it seems that this time he fought for bridge funds, it was really too impulsive and reckless, for so many years, the bridge on the Longwang River could not be built, not only the lack of funds is so simple, the key is the sense of responsibility of the rulers; But no matter how strong the sense of responsibility is, what can I do, the only thing I can do is to use my own network resources to win funds, but the funds are in place, and it is such a result.

Some of what is happening has made Yue Haohan completely understand one thing in his heart, if he wants to do things, he doesn't want to do nothing, if he wants to do things for the people, he must have the right of the ruling party, and the right is the key!

After thinking about it for a while, Yue Haohan got up, picked up the cold boiled water on the bedside table, drank it in one go, washed up briefly, saw that it was still early, went out of the courtyard of the management area, jogged to the playground of the central primary school in the management area, played Tai Chi twice, and after collecting the moves, he suddenly felt full of energy and fighting spirit.

After punching, Yue Haohan silently thought about the essentials of boxing taught by Luo Xianjie in his mind, stood on his heels to support his spine, broadened his horizons and calmed down, thinking, deep in his heart, a flash of inspiration, right! To set up a heel, what I have to do now is first to set my heel, and only after I have established my heel can I support my back, and only then can I have the capital to fight against those who harm the interests of the people!

Thinking of the mantra of Tai Chi, the troubles that plagued Yue Haohan all night, as if swept away, along the path next to the elementary school, strolling to the Longwang River, looking at the clear river, feeling the natural scenery on both sides of the Longwang River in the early morning, Yue Haohan's confidence was firmer, and his heart seemed to be full of infinite strength.

Back in the management area, Zhu Changyou and Li Huashan were chatting in the courtyard, seeing Yue Haohan enter the courtyard, both of them smiled and greeted Yue Haohan, Zhu Changyou said, Haohan, I heard that the funds you went to the province to fight for have reached the county? When will the construction of the bridge start, I have been in the village for the past two days, and the masses are talking about this matter, and they are all looking forward to starting construction as soon as possible.

Li Huashan said, vast, this bridge is really going to be erected, then you are in the minds of the people on both sides of the Longwang River, but you are a big hero, you don't know, the people have been looking forward to building the bridge for many years, and now they finally see hope.

Yue Haohan came to the two of them, stood still, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, Secretary Zhu, Director Li, you two still don't know, whether the bridge can be built or not, it's hard to say, it's complicated.

Zhu Changyou asked, what? Has anything changed?

Yue Haohan said, the change is very big, I am feeling angry and depressed about this matter; Yesterday, when you were in the village and I was on duty, Township Chief Deng called in the afternoon and said that the county was going to transfer one million yuan from the 2 million yuan of bridge construction funds it had won to repair the road from the county seat to Shijiawan Town.

Li Huashan said, how can this be? One million dollars is enough to build a bridge?

Zhu Changyou said angrily, vast, the money is what you got from the province, find them to theorize! How can we not take the lives and deaths of the masses on both sides of the Longwang River seriously.

Yue Haohan said, who are you looking for to theorize? Looking for Secretary Gu of the county party committee and the county magistrate Feng of the county government? A sentence decided by the organization, I will send it to you, Secretary Zhu, you have also worked for decades, you should know that the organization is powerful, this organization is not an individual, but sometimes it is a person, a specific person, or a specific group of people, can you go against the organization?

The three of them were chatting, Zhang Cai'e came out of the kitchen and called everyone to have breakfast; When they arrived in the kitchen, Zhang Cai'e had already prepared a bowl of white rice porridge for each of the three of them, and then brought the fried two green vegetables and the freshly baked oil film to the restaurant, and the three of them chatted and ate around the dining table.

After the meal, Zhu Changyou said, vast, Director Deng has a cold, rest at home, today you continue to be on duty in the management area, I and Huashan, Lao Hu, we still go to a few villages and then walk, urge the arrears, touch the bottom of the family planning objects, the last time Secretary Zhu Guofu Zhu came, the arrangement should be confiscated family planning fines as soon as possible.

After Zhu Changyou and Li Huashan left, Yue Haohan went to his bedroom, took out the book "The Wisdom of the Book of Changes" that he bought in the bookstore next to Jianghan University before graduation, went to the duty room, threw the book on the desk, prepared to pour a cup of tea, and then looked through the contents of the book, picked up the boiling water bottle, and found that it was empty.

Zhang Cai'e poured tea into Yue Haohan's teacup, put down the water bottle, sat down on the long chair in the duty room, looked at Yue Haohan, looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yue Haohan looked at Zhang Cai'e, and asked, Sister Zhang, what do you seem to have on your mind?

Zhang Cai'e said slowly, big brother, you are right, in fact, I really have something in my heart for a long time, I am embarrassed to tell others, I feel ashamed; Since you came to work in this management area, I see you as a brother in my heart, and I want to talk to you, if you don't say it, I will be suffocated in my heart, you have a good heart, do not dislike us rural people, and are busy fighting for money, Zhang Luo is building a bridge over the Longwang River, everyone says, if only the cadres were like you.

Zhang Cai'e nagged, went around in a circle, and still didn't say what was holding in her heart, Yue Haohan looked at Zhang Cai'e, who was a little embarrassed, and said, Sister Zhang, if you have anything in your heart, just say it directly, you can treat me as your own brother.

Zhang Cai'e blushed and asked, what do you think of Zhu Guofu, the deputy secretary of the township?

Yue Haohan said, Zhu Guofu? What happened to him? I'm not familiar with him, I've only met twice.

Zhang Cai'e lowered her head and said, there is something to say that is embarrassing, but I don't know what to do? It's not good to tell others, I said it, don't laugh at me.

Yue Haohan said, you say, don't worry, how can I laugh at you.

Zhang Cai'e was a little embarrassed to say, the week you went to Jianghan, one day, Zhu Guofu came to our Heiyazi management area to check the family planning objects, and ate in the management area at night, he drank a lot of wine, did not return to the township, and lived in the guest room in the management area at night, before going to bed, he confessed, let me prepare a bottle of boiling water for him to send to the room, I boiled the water, sent it to him, just put down the water bottle, he hugged me, kissed and touched me, and kept saying in his stinky mouth, if I were from him, He can waive all the fines owed by our family.

Yue Haohan stared at Zhang Cai'e and said, "Then in the end, you ......

Zhang Cai'e raised her head, looked at Yue Haohan, and said, where do you think? I didn't get away from him, he ripped my shirt and I scratched his arm, pushed him away, and I ran home and cried all night.

Yue Haohan asked, what about later?

Zhang Cai'e replied, saying, when I was eating in the morning, I ignored Zhu Guofu, he threatened me with a straight face in front of several people in the management area, saying, Zhang Cai'e, if your family's superbirth fine cannot be paid before the end of the year, it will be doubled at that time, and in addition, the township is ready to pick up your house. Big brother, what do you think I should do?

Listening to Zhang Cai'e's narration, Yue Haohan felt very angry in his heart, how could a deputy secretary of the township party committee be such a face, thinking, Yue Haohan involuntarily "snapped" on the desk, patted it, and said, scum! Next time he pesters you again, you will sue him, I don't believe that he Zhu Guofu can cover the sky with one hand?

The sound of Yue Haohan slapping the table startled Zhang Cai'e, straightened up on the long chair, looked at Yue Haohan pitifully, and said, Big brother, he is the deputy secretary and powerful, where can we go to complain? Besides, he couldn't win the lawsuit, and in the end he ruined his reputation.

Yue Haohan said, Sister Zhang, the more you have such concerns, the more unscrupulous he becomes, he just sees you here, sees that you love face, and don't dare to make a noise, he dares to come nonsense, don't be afraid of him, and us.

After speaking, Yue Haohan picked up the cup, drank two sips of tea, and asked, Sister Zhang, how did your second treasure be judged?

Zhang Cai'e said, it is an indefinite sentence, I heard that as long as you behave well, you can reduce the sentence, big brother, in fact, my second treasure is not so bad, he is a temporary wealth obsesser, I heard him say, he did not intend to push the man off the cliff at that time, when he grabbed someone's money bag, pulled, the man fell down.

Yue Haohan asked, then after he served his sentence, have you ever gone to see him?

Zhang Cai'e said that he wrote two letters back, and I also planned to take Sanniu to the labor camp to see him on the National Day, and told him to reform well, and I and the children waited for him at home.

Yue Haohan said, you should go and see, if you and the child go to see him, he will have hope in his heart, will he have the energy to reform well, and he will be able to get a commutation and come back as soon as possible; If you don't look at him, you're afraid that he will break the jar and it will be over.

The two were talking, and there was a sound of jeep brakes, Yue Haohan looked out of the courtyard and said, Sister Zhang, let's talk when you have time, it seems that someone is coming, I'll go out and see who it is.

Out of the duty room, just arrived in the yard, I saw the deputy township head Deng Xuanfa carrying a bag in his hand, walked in, saw Yue Haohan, Deng Xuanfa said, Haohan, just at home, I thought you went to the village, looking for you something, let's go into the office and say.

When she arrived in the office, Zhang Cai'e poured a cup of tea for Deng Xuanfa, put it on the coffee table, and said, Township Chief Deng, you drink tea, and I will prepare lunch for you.

After Zhang Cai'e left, Deng Xuanfa sat down, lit a cigarette and smoked, and said, vast, the Longwang River Bridge Construction Headquarters has been established, and you have been transferred to the headquarters office.

Yue Haohan looked at Deng Xuanfa with a questioning face, and asked, to the township? The headquarters is located in the township?

Deng Xuanfa nodded and said, Yes, in the township, the headquarters office is next to the office of the township party and government office.

Yue Haohan said, isn't this a bit, build a bridge on the Longwang River, the headquarters is located in the township government, it's really Hu Qiu, the project will start in the future, how inconvenient, the township government is so far away, how to serve? How is it regulated? It's not that there is no place in this black Yazi management area, there are so many empty houses, why isn't the headquarters located here, how good is it to work here?

Deng Xuanfa sighed and said, it's hard to say whether the bridge can be erected or not, I don't have any confidence at all now.

Yue Haohan said, what's wrong? Isn't it just that the county deducted a million, if it doesn't work, let's think about it again, there is a way after all, since we have decided something, we can't give up halfway.

Deng Xuanfa said, I thought the same way at first, but now the facts are here, even if you have a way, there is a feeling that you can't do it, and you have nowhere to start. Vast, you don't know it, the entire headquarters is the Wulong Township Party Committee and Government, and the Wulong Township Party Committee and Government is the Longwang River Bridge Construction Headquarters.

Yue Haohan looked at Deng Xuanfa incomprehensibly and asked, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?

Deng Xuanfa said: The commander is Wu Youde, the township head He Anqing is the first deputy commander, the other members of our party committee are all deputy commanders, and Wu Tao, director of the party and government office, is also the director of the headquarters office, in charge of funds and logistics. Tell me, is it that the headquarters and the township party committee and government are mixed up?

After listening to Deng Xuanfa's words, Yue Haohan finally understood Deng Xuanfa's worries, it seems that it is really difficult to build this bridge on the Dragon King River, what does Wu Youde want to do when he does this?
