"Your call is temporarily unreachable, please call again later." Cheng Liping can't remember how many times he has heard such a voice broadcast. The number was given to him by Yaya, it is impossible to make a mistake, it is now the 4G era, and it cannot always be a signal problem, so it is more likely that Cheng Hongbin will cut out the magnetic card of the mobile phone by himself.

Cheng Liping was a little worried, and called Du Deyong again. As soon as he connected, Du Deyong said anxiously: "I was about to call you, but your phone came in." What, is there any news of Cheng Hongbin recently? ”

Cheng Liping said: "No, I want you to help check and see where he is now." ”

Du Deyong said: "Your brother is not the same as before. According to the news from Guangxi, he often crossed the border without permission and even smuggled himself to Macao a few days ago, and now the police in various places have already targeted him, so if you can contact him, persuade him to turn himself in as soon as possible. ”

Cheng Liping didn't speak, and slowly hung up the phone. Sure enough, it is still the closest family member who knows Cheng Hongbin, this brother who grew up with him since childhood, has really become extremely strange. Judging from the traces of his activities, he may have done illegal and criminal acts, whether he surrendered himself or continued to sink like this, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.

After thinking about it, Cheng Liping decided to hide this matter and not tell Aunt Cheng and Yaya for the time being.

Since the demolition of the Vantone Market, the family's financial resources have been cut off. Dad and Mom have no place to sell miscellaneous grains, and Cheng Liping can't sell fruits anymore, because the Zhaoge Fruit Wholesale Market is closed under the threat of Boss Wu. The second elder sat at home and summed it up, and decided to take out the family business he had saved over the years, and let Cheng Liping do some business and strive to get out of the way.

Cheng Liping took the bank card, turned around and stuffed back the small cloth bag where his mother stored valuables while his parents were not paying attention. He had been a real man for several years and could not allow himself to risk his parents' hard-earned money again. As for what to do in the future, Du Deyong has already reminded him to go to the coal mine subsidence area in the east of the city to contract a reservoir and develop the aquaculture industry.

Licheng is a northern city, and the consumption demand for aquatic products has always been low, so no one in the local area breeds fish and shrimp. But Du Deyong is a southerner, and he told Cheng Liping with his gluttonous experience that as long as he works hard, after the beginning of spring next year, it will be his time to succeed.

Cheng Liping agreed with a smile and rode his bicycle to the subsidence area in the east of the city for half a day. These areas were originally fertile fields, but after large-scale coal mining, they gradually collapsed, forming "lakes with dense ponds". Peasants who had lost their homes were forced to relocate, bought houses in the city with their life savings, and began to become city dwellers. Some farmers who were reluctant to leave contracted to raise white geese and gray ducks here, and in addition to selling eggs, they also supplied meat ducks and geese to restaurants.

inquired about the rent of the pond, which was within the range of Cheng Liping's expectations. On the recommendation of the farmers, Cheng Liping took a fancy to a large pond away from the road. This pond covers an area of about ten acres, and the annual rent is only 6,000 yuan. ”

Uncle Peng is an old thin old man, took the cigarette and put it on his ear, and said in a teaching tone: "This is all good land, all of it has been ruined, now the pond is under the management of the Chengdong Sub-district Office, when you go to go through the formalities, remember to prepare a few red envelopes, otherwise, things will not be easy to do." ”

Cheng Liping thinks it makes sense, the king of Hades is easy to provoke, the little ghost is difficult, he has to do business well, it is serious to take down the pond quickly, it doesn't matter if there are a few red envelopes. When I got home, I told my parents about the situation, and my parents were also very satisfied, so they went to buy a few red envelopes in person, and one of them was stuffed with 200 yuan.

The next morning, Cheng Liping rode to the Chengdong Sub-district Office. The office hall was bustling with people coming and going. Those who run social security, those who cooperate in medical care, and those who apply for old-age subsidies are all crowded together, and no one maintains order. Cheng Liping took the number, stood obediently behind and waited, constantly being cut in line by some women and old people, until two o'clock in the afternoon, when it was his turn.

Cheng Liping approached the office window and said with a smile: "Hello, I want to contract the reservoir in the subsidence area......"

Before she could say anything, the woman wearing bright lipstick in the window waved her hand impatiently and said, "The contracted reservoir will be handled on Friday, so you can wait until Friday." ”

Cheng Liping frowned and pointed to the notice board in the office hall, and said, "It's written there, Monday to Friday, from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon." ”

The female clerk said very politely: "A notice is a notice, a rule is a rule, I said, you wait until Friday to come back." ”

Cheng Liping was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to get angry with a woman, so he remembered what Uncle Peng had told him, so he immediately took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the female clerk. The female clerk glanced left and right, covered it with her palm, pretended to glance at the form on the computer, and said, "In this way, you go to window No. 4 and wait, Director Liang goes to work at half past two to see if he can help you." ”

Cheng Liping turned to the No. 4 window and waited for more than half an hour before a puppy and dumpty man with a blushing face and a thick neck opened the service window with a full burp, and asked with a mouthful of wine: "What's the matter with you?" Let's go to the first few windows. ”

Cheng Liping said: "Director Liang, the comrades at window No. 4 asked me to wait for you here. ”

Humpty Dumpty squinted his drunken eyes and said, "It's too busy today, you can come back tomorrow." ”

Cheng Liping had no choice, stuffed a red envelope over, and said, "For small things, Director Liang will help you, and it will be done soon." ”

Liang Fatzi picked up the red envelope with a big grin, shook his hand casually, and two red banknotes fell on the desk. "Oh, young man," said the fat man, "what to do, you can say." ”

"I want to contract a pond, more than ten acres of land, which is close to Peng Xianming's duck farm." Cheng Liping hurriedly said.

The fat man hung his head, as if he was asleep, and after a few minutes, he let out a loud hiccup and said, "The pond, the pond is gone, and the contract is over." ”

Cheng Liping said: "Why is it gone, I just went to see it yesterday, and many of them are empty." ”

Liang Fatzi rolled his eyes and said, "I said it's gone, it's gone." ”

Cheng Liping endured the anger in his heart, and consciously stuffed a red envelope. Liang Fatzi stretched out his hand to take it, still opened it as it was, saw that it was still two hundred yuan, lay in front of Cheng Liping, and said, "Young man, you don't know how to do things, you know?" ”

Cheng Liping simply threw all the red envelopes in his hand to Liang Fatzi, Liang Fatzi didn't move, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's three again, I guess, six hundred yuan, right?" ”

Cheng Liping crossed his hands on his chest, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Director Liang's vision is very keen." ”

Fat Liang wiped the saliva from his mouth, threw the tissue on Cheng Liping, and said, "I said just now, young man, you, you can't do anything." Ten acres of ponds, send me a thousand yuan, what do you want? Ah, what do you think? ”

These two sentences of "what do you want" are full of contempt. Cheng Liping stepped forward and asked softly, "Director Liang, you can tell me the number." ”

Liang Fatzi stretched out five thick fingers and said slowly: "Fifty thousand, one point less, the pond can't be taken." ”

Cheng Liping smiled and said, "Bring it, it's a bank card." Director Liang, otherwise, I'll go in and talk to you. ”

Liang Fatman's eyes lit up, pointed to the independent office behind the office hall, and said, "You go to the door first and wait, I'll pee and come over in a few minutes." ”

In fact, Liang Fatzi's fat body is very flexible, perhaps under the influence of alcohol, his speed is much faster than usual. Opened the door of the office, threw a few forms to Cheng Liping, stretched out his fat palm, and said vaguely: "Give me the bank card, fill out the form and wait for me to stamp it, and the pond will be yours." ”

Cheng Liping locked the office door with his backhand, picked up the form and stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a sneer: "Ten acres of ponds, the annual rent is only 6,000, and you will ask for 50,000 yuan when you open your mouth, and you are not afraid of dying." ”

Fat Liang's eyes widened, and the fat on his face was trembling: "Bastard, you ...... You're fooling me. ”

Cheng Liping sat on the sofa for a long time, quietly looking at Liang Fatzi. Liang Fat Man walked to the desk with his ass and reached for the phone. Cheng Liping grabbed it quickly, kicked the phone against the wall, and with a crisp sound, the red telephone broke into pieces, leaving only the microphone broken in two and still shaking on the ground.

"You...... Do you still dare to do it? I'll call the police to arrest you, I'll tell you. Liang Fatzi relied on the strength of the wine, and he was not afraid at all.

Cheng Liping walked up to Liang Fatzi, and his face was split with a few big ears. Liang Fatzi He had suffered this kind of crime, and the whole person was stunned, and he sat on the chair with his ass, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth. Cheng Liping took a few tissues to wipe his hands, and said in disgust: "My face is full of oil, even if I am really a pig, I am not as fat as you." ”

Liang Fatzi covered his face and shouted in fright: "What are you going to do, this is the government, don't mess around......"

Cheng Liping lay on the table, looked at Liang Fatzi, and said, "Do you still know that this is the government, openly asking for bribes, bullying the people, did the government ask you to do it?" I've been in the government too, and I've never seen a fool like you. ”

Liang Fatzi shrank back in fear, and said tremblingly: "What do you want to do, I can't do it for you, don't do it, don't do it." ”

Cheng Liping took out the form, threw it to Liang Fatzi, and said, "You can stamp the seal first, and I will write the content myself." ”

Liang Fatzi blinked his eyes and said, "First stamp, young man, it's not that I won't do it for you, this doesn't meet the regulations." ”

Cheng Liping didn't say a word, grabbed the water cup on the table, and threw it on the wall behind the fat man Liang. Liang Fatzi screamed again, hurriedly took out the official seal from the drawer, and quickly stamped a few forms with red stamps. Cheng Liping looked at it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, put the form in his arms, turned his head and left. As soon as I walked out of the office door, I saw Liang Fatzi take out his mobile phone from his pocket, and it seemed that he was going to call the police.

Cheng Liping smiled, pushed open the door and walked in, without waiting for Liang Fatzi to shout, he took out his mobile phone first, and said calmly: "Director Liang, you want to call the police, right?" Yes, you can report now. I have recorded everything just now, you drink alcohol during working hours, violate the relevant regulations of civil servants, and ask for bribes from the people, which is a serious illegal act, and it is a dereliction of duty to let the masses come again another day at every turn. Do the math, is your problem serious, or is my problem serious? ”

Liang Fatzi drooped with an old face, didn't dare to answer the words, and consciously put the mobile phone on the table.

Cheng Liping left satisfied. After leaving the office gate and getting on his bicycle, he felt a little different from before. Maybe he wants to live an ordinary life too much, but in the past six months, he has endured too many compromises. Even when he first learned that Chengjia Village was going to be demolished, he didn't think about fighting, and it wasn't until Wang Laosan led people to rush to the gate of his house that he found his former self.

It is okay to pursue an ordinary and peaceful life, but no one can be above dignity and freedom. Wang Laosan can't do it, Liang Fatzi can't do it, and other similar characters, of course, can't either.
