Chapter 70: Pursuing the Victory (4)

PS: The third update, let's enjoy some flowers!

"Village Chief Wang, I saw that you frowned just now, is this just for this?" Luo Fei asked suddenly.

Wang Yi smiled, shook his head and said nothing, Lin Jinhong and the two were a little strange, but Wang Yi was reluctant to say it, and it was not easy to force him to ask. Lin Jinhong took two breaths vigorously, "Anyway, the gambling wind in Sanxi Town must be stopped, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later." After the river diversion in the village is built and the flood problem is thoroughly rectified, the people's will will be settled, and it is estimated that it will get twice the result with half the effort when the time comes. Let's go to Minister Wang's house first! The three of them walked out of the village committee office building.

After walking a few steps, an old man came to him, wearing a vest and holding a cigarette holder in his hand, smoking a cigarette. The old face that has been eroded by time is full of vicissitudes, but the wise eyes are not much cloudy.

When Wang Yi saw the old man, he was very respectful, and he was busy helping him, "Uncle, why did you come out on such a hot day!" ”

The old man looked up, saw that it was Wang Yi, and said, "Ayi, I just wanted to go to the village committee to find you, and I met here!" ”

"Uncle, if you want to find me, just let someone say, why do you need to run by yourself, the sun is so strong, how can I, a junior, feel at ease." Wang Yi looked at Lin Jinhong and the others in embarrassment as he spoke.

Lin Jinhong glanced at the old man a few times, and also ran to the old man's side to help the other side, "Let's go, anyway, we're not in a hurry!" ”

"You're Mayor Lin, aren't you?" The old man's wise eyes swept over Lin Jinhong, and he nodded slightly, "The young man is good, he has done a lot of practical things, good, good!" ”

"Old man, I'm still young, I can't stand the praise!" Lin Jinhong smiled embarrassedly. Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Helping the old man into the village committee office building, Lin Jinhong and Luo Fei were about to come out, but they were waved by the old man to stay, "It's nothing, you all can hear it, it's okay!" When Lin Jinhong heard this, he didn't insist and sat down again.

"Dafu came to me just now and asked me, an old man, to come out and administer justice, saying that you don't think about the villagers." Speaking of which, after the old man finished smoking the cigarette in the cigarette holder, he reached out and pushed away Lin Jinhong's cigarette, put the cigarette holder on the sole of his foot and knocked it a few times, took out a box of tobacco from his trouser pocket, loaded it slowly, and continued: "Although I am old, my eyes are not blind. It is a glorious thing that there is a high-ranking official in the village. However, in recent years, Daliao Village has also been tossed enough. ”

When Lin Jinhong heard this, he was a little excited, "Old man, thank you for your words, to be honest, although I am determined to solve the problem of frequent floods in Daliao Village, I don't know the bottom of my heart." No, although the town has already issued a document, it has not been able to implement it, for fear that it will not get the support of the villagers of Daliao Village. Now there is a sentence from an old man, which seems to have taken a reassuring pill. ”

Lin Jinhong didn't say this to be sycophants, he knew that this old man should have a very high rank in the village, otherwise Wang Dafu would not have asked him to come out to teach Wang Yi a lesson. If you can get the support of the old man, the construction of the diversion river will be at least half successful.

"I hope the old man can say a few words at a critical moment!" After Lin Jinhong finished speaking, he looked at the old man with a nervous expression.

The old man nodded, sighed and said, "As long as it is for the good of the villagers in Daliao Village, I will not be partial." ”

After the old man finished smoking the second cigarette, he asked Wang Yi to send him back, but this time Lin Jinhong and Luo Fei did not follow.

"Brother Luo, I sometimes really wonder if there is a god of luck standing behind me. At every critical moment, there is always another village. Lin Jinhong joked, "You can come whatever you want." ”

"To tell you the truth, I'm a little jealous when you say that, haha......" Luo Fei laughed, "It's not that there is a god of luck standing behind you, but everyone has a god of luck standing behind them, but some people try hard to catch luck, and they are caught, and some people don't try." Just like just now, if you hadn't gone up to help the old man, I guess the conversation wouldn't have gone so smoothly. ”

Not long after, Wang Yi came back, and the trouble between his eyebrows at this moment had lightened a lot, and it was obvious that the old man on the road had something to say to him. "Mayor Lin, Deputy Mayor Luo, let's go to Wang Ji's house!"

The three of them walked out of the village committee office building again, and on the way, Wang Yi introduced the identity of the old man. The old man's name is Wang Qigen, 87 years old this year, is the highest ranking person in Daliao Village, participated in the Anti-Japanese War in his early years, is a veteran soldier, and has a wide range of knowledge. Lin Jinhong didn't expect that the old man would be so old and still an old soldier.

Daliao Village is a small village, and it is not a long way from the village committee to Wang Ji's house, and his family is not very far from their ancestral grave. Wang Ji's house doesn't look special from the outside, a big courtyard full of potted flowers, and five third-floor brick houses. Lin Jinhong stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked curiously: "Village Chief Wang, during the spring flood, there should be water here." ”

"Yes, but every year Chunxun Wangji's family will go to live in the county seat, and they also have a house in the county seat."

No wonder, the feelings run to enjoy themselves, and let the villagers of Daliao Village flood once or twice a year. Lin Jinhong muttered, and then motioned to Wang Yi to call the door.

Soon, footsteps sounded behind the door, and it was Wang Dafu who came to open the door, he was stunned when he saw Wang Yi and Lin Jinhong, and then smiled wryly, "Mayor Lin, Deputy Mayor Luo, why are you two here, please come in!" He spoke loudly, and it stands to reason that a few people were standing so close to each other, so there should be no need to say so loudly.

Lin Jinhong knew what he wanted to do, and sure enough, three more people came out of the house, and it was Wang Ji who walked in front.

"It turned out that Mayor Lin and Deputy Mayor Luo were here, what a rare guest, a rare guest! Come on, please come in! ”

Wang Ji's attitude was very enthusiastic, which surprised Lin Jinhong, he took the initiative to shake hands with him last time, but he ignored it, and today it was like seeing his father.

Everyone walked into the house, and Luo Fei, who was following behind Lin Jinhong, looked at the two people beside Wang Ji in surprise.

After entering the house, he sat down after a while of greetings, and Wang Ji did not introduce the two people around him. Lin Jinhong just wanted to speak, but felt that the clothes behind his back were gently pulled. So by serving tea, he glanced at Luo Fei out of the corner of his eye, saw that there was a different color in his eyes, and he knew it, so he put down the cup.

"Mayor Lin is here, is there something wrong?" After Wang Ji saw Lin Jinhong put down the cup, he didn't speak for a long time, and asked in person.

Lin Jinhong snorted, "It's nothing, passing by outside, stop by to take a look, didn't bother?" ”

"Eh, how can you bother, Mayor Lin and Deputy Mayor Luo are distinguished guests that we can't even invite!"
