"Ding Bang" rang a bell, waking up Li Xiaohe, who was taking a nap.

Who calls at noon? Li Xiaohe took the mobile phone and looked at it, and when he saw that it was not turned off, he ignored the noise outside.

One bell rang, and the second bell rang over and over again.

Realizing that something might be wrong, Li Xiaohe got up from the bed and went to the outhouse.

Seeing that it was the internal phone ringing, Li Xiaohe frowned slightly and answered: "Hey, who's it?" ”

"Township Chief, I'm Qian Xi, I have something important to report." The voice pressure on the phone was low.

Li Xiaohe said "oh": "Old Qian, is there something wrong?" ”

"Hurry up and hide, I don't think they're good." The other party's voice was very anxious, "It's dozens now, and I heard that there are still people on the way here." ”

Li Xiaohe had already guessed, but still asked, "What the hell is going on?" You make it clear. ”

The voice on the phone was very cautious: "Township chief, a lot of people came to the door, saying that they were looking for you and asked you to pay for the basket." I was worried that they would make a fuss when they came to you, so I said that you didn't seem to have come back from a meal, so I told them not to make a lot of noise. They said they were waiting for you, and now they are all squatting in the shade outside the door, as if they are waiting for more people to come. I'm quietly calling you in the house right now, and some of them are hanging around the door, probably guarding against me.

I see that they are all angry, and they must not be good, so you should go out and hide first. The front door is not good, so I go out from the backyard over the wall, and the back yard wall is not high, so I step on something and go out. Otherwise, when do you go out, call me, and I'll sneak over. Then I will squat at the base of the back wall, and you will step on my back, and as soon as I stretch my waist and get up, you will go up the wall. ”

Li Xiaohe smiled: "Old Qian, thank you, you are really thoughtful." But I'm not going to hide, and I haven't done anything wrong. By the way, why did they make me pay for the basket, and where did this start? ”

"They said that the baskets they had made up were all stored by the township, and now that the baskets are broken, the township will have to lose money, and they have to ask the township chief for it." After a pause, Qian Xi said, "Before lunch, I heard people talking about the basket, and I didn't know what was going on at that time. After a while, I locked the little door on the street door while they were not looking, and I closed it at noon anyway. ”

"Lao Qian, you have always been very conscientious, your work is very good, and I am very relieved to have you in charge of the security of the entire township government." Li Xiaohe said, "You can continue to stick to your job, and you don't need to care about them." By the way, don't open the street door, open the door, the small door, the more you close, the more people want to enter, and when it is really opened, they may not enter. ”

"That'...... Township Chief, you still ......" Halfway through the words, Qian Xi changed the topic, "Township Chief, what is there to call me." Don't look at me as young anymore, but if I provoke my old man, I still don't scare them. ”

"When you need old money to contribute, I will look for you, and I must not act rashly." Li Xiaohe instructed, he was really afraid that this half-old man would stab Lou Zi.

Qian Xi replied very simply, "Yes, I know this is discipline." I hung up first and continued to scout the enemy. The voice on the phone stopped abruptly.

Putting down the earpiece, Li Xiaohe sighed: "It's still here." In fact, when he was in that compound in the morning, he had already realized this, and knew that the instructions were also in vain.

"Pedaling", "Tuk", footsteps, knocking sounded one after another.

People are coming? Li Xiaohe didn't speak, but listened attentively.

A low voice came from outside the door: "Township Chief, Township Chief, are you here?" I'm Qin Mingsheng, just me. ”

After waiting for a while, Li Xiaohe gently came to the door of the suite, pushed the door of the house, and made a "clang" sound. Then he lazily said, "Who?" ”

"Township Chief, I'm Qin Mingsheng, and I have something important to report." Qin Mingsheng's voice was very anxious.

"Wait, noon, what's the matter?" Li Xiaohe muttered, walked slowly to the door, and opened the latch on the door.

The door was pushed open, Qin Mingsheng flashed into the house, looked back again, quickly closed the door, and leaned against the door panel. He said in a low voice: "Township Chief, I know, people know." Who said that? It must be Hao Dazhu. ”

Li Xiaohe walked to the desk and said, "You have no head or tail, you are in a hurry, what is the matter?" ”

"Township chief, all the villagers who are weaving baskets have been found, some are at the gate of the street, and some are under the eaves. There were also people who thought of the office center area, so I sternly refused. I told them that this was a first-level government, not a vegetable market, so they would not be allowed to come around. After a pause, Qin Mingsheng asked urgently, "What about the township chief?" ”

"Lao Qin, what do you say?" Li Xiaohe asked rhetorically.

Qin Mingsheng suddenly stood up: "What should I do?" I...... I'm here, if I don't keep them in baskets, there's nothing. You look at it now, it's too late to say anything. However, it was not me who took the initiative to say it, it was they who repeatedly asked for it, and I also asked the township chief for instructions at that time. ”

"Did you tell me?" Li Xiaohe was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, it seems that you proposed to find a place in the township." yes, that's what you said, and then you got to the compound. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of it, let alone the courtyard, and I wouldn't have been in this trouble. More is better than less. ”

"Township Chief, you ...... I consider myself unlucky, alas. Qin Mingsheng hung his head and became dejected.

"Old Qin, then you have to find a way, so many people outside are waiting." Li Xiaohe urged again.

"I, I'm so confused right now that I can't figure out a solution. Since the township chief also said that it was my business, then I will go out to face them, who asked me to mention this matter more. Qin Mingsheng said in a angry tone.

Li Xiaohe said "oh": "You go to face it, how to face it?" ”

Qin Mingchang sighed: "Let's discuss it as much as possible, anyway, a slap won't make a sound, if they didn't happen to say that there was no place, I wouldn't mention that courtyard, if Hao Dazhu can take a look in time, maybe it will be less moldy." Everyone is responsible, try to discuss, if they can admit bad luck, it is best, if it really can't work, the township ...... I'll take care of it. Hey, that's unlucky. ”

"If you think they are unlucky, will they admit it? If you talk about doing less, they will agree? Li Xiaohe asked one after another.

"What if they don't recognize it? It's not like I made the basket like this. If they really don't approve of it, then what's the matter, and that's all I can do anyway. Qin Mingsheng had a broken and broken tone.

Li Xiaohe stared at the other party: "Lao Qin, you can't solve the problem at all, and it's not the attitude to solve the problem." As grassroots civil servants and township cadres, whenever we encounter problems, it is not what we have done or what we have done. The important thing is whether the problem is solved and how it is solved. Now it seems that you have no solution, so I will face them. ”

"You...... Do you have a good idea? Qin Ming was born with a spirit, "What way?" ”

"Let's take it one step at a time." Li Xiaohe said, "You go and take a look, have the village cadres of the villages involved arrived?" If you don't arrive, call him immediately and ask him to come, otherwise he will deal with the basket maker in the village. Also, when someone asks how to deal with it, you say it's being studied. After the village cadres arrived, we all went to the site of the compound. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Qin Mingsheng turned around and walked away, and when he reached the door, he turned around and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

"If you want to go, you will go." Li Xiaohe's tone was very polite.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the basket was stored in the compound.

Hundreds of villagers focused here, the scene was chaotic, there were all kinds of words, some yelling, some noisy, and sighing.

"Didi", a whistle sounded, and the township chief's special car entered the compound.

The car door opened, Li Xiaohe got out of the car, and under the attention of everyone, he came to the door of the west warehouse.

With the arrival of Li Xiaohe, the noise at the scene stopped.

Glancing at everyone, Li Xiaohe said: "Everyone, I will ask Hao Dazhu to open the door of the warehouse in a while, and everyone will take a look at the scene first and take a closer look." But you can't touch it, let alone take it, if the basket in any village is messed up, moved to a different place, or is missing, the village director will go back to deal with it himself, and no one should tell the township. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." The reply was loud.

"Okay, line up according to the village, each village has two teams, and the village cadres stand at the front. When you look at it for a while, you must also march forward in a line, and you can't act privately. If any villager does not follow the requirements, I'm sorry, or the village chief will handle it himself. Speaking of this, Li Xiaohe stopped.

Soon, hundreds of people lined up in multiple columns.

Li Xiaohe turned his head and said, "Hao Dazhu open the door." ”

Hao Dazhu agreed, stepped forward, opened the door lock with a "click", and then opened one door with a "creak", and then opened another. In a short time, all three doors opened.

Everyone bent their eyes and stared hard into the dimly lit warehouse.

"Let's see." Li Xiaohe said a word and let go of the door.

"Kick and kick", the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and many long lines in front of the door instantly poured into the warehouse.

"Ah, how did that happen?"

"It's a white brush at this point."

"It's all like this, gray doesn't slip."

"It's all gray eggs, what's the matter?"

"No, it can't be like this, I don't do it, I don't do it."

A twitter of grumbling came out.

Li Xiaohe still had his back to the warehouse, without any expression on his face, and he had nothing to do with himself.

Looking at Qin Mingsheng again, it is a different situation. His face was full of frustration, remorse, and unwillingness, standing there shaking his head and sighing, and peeking at Li Xiaohe from time to time.

After more than ten minutes, the villagers who went in walked out of the warehouse one after another and stood there and made noise.

After everyone came out, Li Xiaohe took Qin Mingsheng and went around the warehouse before coming outside again. Glancing at everyone, Li Xiaohe asked, "After watching the scene, what do you think?" ”

"The basket was fine when I came, why did it become like this, you have to explain to us." Someone shouted.

"We're going to say the law."

"We're going to say the law."

Loud shouts resounded throughout the courtyard and spread far away.
