The sensation caused by the construction of the air-raid shelter this time is much bigger than the last time it was said that the drainage pipes should be repaired. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's no longer a one-sided praise, and there are a lot of doubts in between.

He believed that the Socialist government was a little anxious for quick success and quick profits, and that building air-raid shelters was a face-saving project for the people and money.

Some old people even went directly to Zhang Guochang and offered him advice, hoping that the Socialist Party would seriously consider the construction of air-raid shelters.

Hu Lao, who was almost eighty years old, came to Zhang Guochang's office on crutches, and as soon as he entered the door, he took Zhang Guochang's hand and said, "Secretary Zhang! Since the Socialist Party came to Sivuga, it has indeed done a lot of good things for our people! We also believe that the Socialist government is indeed the government of our people. ”

Zhang Guochang smiled and helped Hu Lao to the sofa before answering, "Thank you for your understanding and trust!" Serving the people is not just a matter of talking. ”

"All the old people, please take a seat!" Zhang Guochang beckoned several other old people to sit down and personally brewed tea for them.

"How many old people are here today? What does Guochang need to do, just say. After Zhang Guochang poured tea for a few people, he asked with a smile.

Zhang Guochang knew that these old people would not come to him if they had nothing to do, especially Hu Lao, since he reprimanded him, although the relationship eased a lot later.

But on weekdays, he basically avoided himself, and went to the orphanage several times by himself, but he didn't see him.

Hearing Zhang Guochang's inquiry, Hu Lao and the others looked at each other, and finally Hu Lao opened his mouth and said slowly: "Secretary Zhang! Xiao Lao'er heard that Secretary Zhang was going to build a drainage pipe like an air-raid shelter, I don't know if it's true? ”

"That's the thing!" Zhang Guochang nodded, he couldn't hide it, and he didn't plan to hide it.

"This!" When Hu Lao heard Zhang Guochang admit it in person, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"What? What does Hu Lao think is wrong? Zhang Guochang knew that the people had opinions on the construction of drainage pipes like air-raid shelters, but now when he heard Hu Lao ask about the drainage pipes, his heart changed and he understood their intentions.

"Secretary Zhang thinks twice! Such a large-scale construction project is really not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of Shiwuya! I am afraid that it will cause unrest among the people! ”

In fact, how to cause uneasiness among the people, Hu Lao and they don't know, but they instinctively have a fear of such a big project.

Just like when the Qing Dynasty built a railway, a group of literati and scholars, and the widows of the scholars shouted.

What kind of railway construction destroys the dragon vein, disturbs the ancestral cemetery, and seeks death and life one by one to block the railway construction.

In fact, this is all a fear of the unknown.

Zhang Guochang didn't pay attention to it, but a few old scholars and old gentlemen came to the door, and he had to explain to them patiently.

Zhang Guochang calmed down and slowly explained: "Hu Lao and the old people don't have to worry, Guochang can guarantee here that the construction of drainage pipes is a project to benefit the people, first, no money will be levied, and second, no people will be recruited for free." ”

"All the work was done by the indigenous prisoners in the camps to atone for their atrocities, and we paid more than market wages to the craftsmen who participated in the construction."

"This ......" Hu Lao was about to say something, but a knock on the door interrupted him.

"Come in!" Zhang Guochang knew that knocking on the door at this time must be an important matter, and it just so happened that he was not very willing to entangle with these old pedants.

"Report! The patriarch of the Xu family, Elder Xu and others asked to meet. The guard pushed the door open and came in to report.

"Oh! Please! As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the door to greet him.

As Zhang Guochang's footsteps walked towards the door, Xu Lao had already pushed the door in with the support of the eldest son of the Xu family.

Zhang Guochang hurriedly walked a few steps, supported Xu Lao and complained: "Old Xu, your illness is just right, why did you come in person, if something happens, the younger generation will come to listen to the teachings." ”

Xu Lao recovered well, but such a big operation was still a little painful, and Xu Lao's voice was a little weak, "Secretary Zhang!" My old bones are rejuvenated thanks to your skillful hands! The grace of saving your life, I have always wanted to thank you in person, how can I make a big shelf for you? ”

Zhang Guochang helped Xu Lao and instructed: "Look at your old complexion, you are recovering well, you must not be reckless, you must stay in bed!" And don't be angry anymore, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren! ”

"Old Xu, are you here?"

"I heard that Secretary Zhang is planning to build drainage pipes, public toilets and other projects, which is a good thing, and it is a good thing for the benefit of the people of Quanshi Wuya! The Socialist government is worthy of being the government of the common people, and is willing to do practical things for the people! ”

"Secretary Zhang is a good official! If the officials of the Nationalist Government were like Secretary Zhang, why should we worry that the Japanese would not be able to drive away and that the country would not be able to prosper! Xu Lao praised repeatedly.

"Xu Lao has won the award! Guochang just did a little thing within his ability! Zhang Guochang hurriedly said modestly.

"My old bones, I can't help with anything else, I discussed it with several other patriarchs, we don't have anything else, but we have also accumulated a little family business over the years, and we each donated 100,000 US dollars for the construction of drainage pipes, Secretary Zhang must not be too little."

Hu Lao on the side listened, his face was hot and painful, they had just protested against the construction of drainage pipes by the Socialist government, and Xu Lao donated money to support the construction.

The key is that the identity and status of Xu Lao are incomparable to Hu Lao, Hu Lao is just the patriarch of a small family, and he usually makes a living by teaching.

Xu Lao is the patriarch of the largest family in Shiwu Ya, and his influence in Shiwu Ya is not comparable to them.

"............" The few old pedants who followed Hu Lao were also red-faced and speechless.

Zhang Guochang ignored Hu Lao and them, stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Lao and several of their family patriarchs, "Guochang is a thank you to the people of Shiwuya for their high righteousness. ”

"It's just that Guochang can't ask for this money! The kindness of several seniors Guochang received the ......"

"What? Secretary Zhang looks down on us? Think our money is dirty? A mighty old man who came with Xu Lao waited for a moment and shouted loudly.

This old man Zhang Guochang knows, this is the head of the Zhu family, the old lady Zhu, who is over eighty years old, still blind, deaf, and speaks loudly like Hong Zhong.

"Old man Zhu misunderstood! Guochang definitely has no intention of looking down, but the money for the construction of drainage pipes is enough. Zhang Guochang hurriedly explained.

"If a few old men have a heart, they can donate money to the country, the little devils are invading our country! To resist aggression, our country is poor, guns and ammunition need to be imported, and it is the time when there is a shortage of money! ”

"We know this, and we have donated money and materials to the country a few times, but we ............ Alas! Don't say it! Old Man Zhu sighed and stopped talking.

"Secretary Zhang! Now we believe in you! We can rest assured that the money will be handed over to you! As for where the money goes, we don't care! Xu Lao took over.
