Chapter 40: Helping to Fight Drought (2)
Ding Chenggong really didn't expect that his godsister would have such a high prestige among the villagers!
Under Ding Chenggong's careful escort, Zhao Fanghua confidently came to the middle of the two leaders, and said with a slight smile: "What's wrong with you, leading your brothers and nephews to the sweet water well left by your ancestors, dancing with knives and sticks, like words!" ”
"You can't say that, Mayor Zhao!" The red-faced man immediately jumped out and said loudly: "His old Zhang family relied on his own family to be the village head, so he refused to let go of the key to the well!" ”
"Yes, their Zhang family holds the key to the wellhead, so they will provide convenience for their own family!"
"Their surname Zhang can use water if they want to, and our Hu family has to wait in line for water, only once a day, and we are only allowed to pick two buckets of water!"
"That's it, their surname Zhang is too bullying!"
As soon as the red-faced man's words came out, he attracted the grievances of his family!
"Stop talking nonsense!" The leader of the old Zhang family immediately jumped out, pointed to the stone tablet at the mouth of the well and said loudly: "Look at this inscription!" It is clearly written that this sweet well was laid by our ancestors of the Zhang family! The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, what is wrong with our Zhang family using a few more loads of water! ”
Seeing the two groups of people arguing and arguing again, Zhao Fanghua immediately waved his hand and shouted coquettishly: "If you still want to listen to me, shut up for me!" ”
Only then did the two groups close their mouths, glared at each other with hatred, and then turned their eyes to Zhao Fanghua.
"This year's drought and not enough water are enough, we all know this!" Zhao Fanghua immediately said calmly: "Everyone let each other take a step, what's not to do!" In the future, the key to the wellhead will be handed over to the village committee, and the whole village will use it fairly regardless of surname! ”
"But this well was built by the ancestors of my Zhang family, why should he be cheaper, his surname is Hu!" The leader of the Zhang family immediately widened his eyes: "This is not fair, we are not convinced!" ”
"This well was dug by the ancestors of your old Zhang family, this is true!" Zhao Fanghua said seriously: "But don't forget, the last few words engraved on this stone tablet!" ”
As he spoke, Zhao Fanghua pointed to the stele and read aloud: "Although this well is made by my Zhang clan, the water is given by God, and the villagers with foreign surnames use it for passers-by." I, the Zhang clan, must not be embarrassed! ”
"You don't listen to the admonitions of the ancestors!"
After reading the last few sentences of the inscription, Zhao Fanghua said sternly: "The ancestors of your Zhang family are so generous and selfless, allowing villagers with foreign surnames and even passers-by to use water at will. You, the descendants of the younger generations, are so selfish, holding the key to the well, restricting the water supply of the villagers in the same village! Don't you feel ashamed of your ancestors? ”
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhang's family lowered their heads a little ashamedly, but they still held the farm tools in their hands tightly and refused to disperse around the well!
"I already knew that these peasants were not easy to persuade!" Song Qingshan, the deputy mayor who was standing on the side, immediately smiled proudly and whispered to Liu Qinghua: "Who of us wouldn't talk about empty words?" Your Secretary Liu's eloquence is not better than her? I can talk about her to stink! ”
Ding Chenggong has long seen the crux of the problem. Born at the bottom of society, he knows that the people at the bottom value their vital interests the most. In order to compete for the scarce resources they rely on for survival, they will not be bound by false morality!
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately paid attention, gave Zhao Fanghua a gentle look, and led her to the side of the car.
"Success, at this critical juncture, what are you looking for me!" As soon as he came to the side of the car, Zhao Fanghua said impatiently: "You don't see how troublesome things are!" ”
"If you don't provide everyone with enough water, what's the use of just talking empty words with red mouths and white teeth!" The situation was urgent, and Ding Chenggong couldn't care about being polite, and said bluntly: "The key to the matter is to let everyone have water!" ”
Zhao Fanghua immediately frowned, and said seriously, "Of course I know!" But for a while, let me get some water! ”
"Isn't there still me!" Ding Chenggong immediately smiled confidently: "I'll call Chen Pengfei and ask him to pull five truckloads of bottled water immediately!" ”
"Just you have a lot of money!" watched Ding Chenggong think about himself everywhere, and did not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket to solve problems for himself. Zhao Fanghua couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, but after thinking about it for a while, she immediately objected: "No matter how much money you have, can you buy water for the whole village to drink every day?" That's not the way to go! ”
"Let's get past the current level first!" Ding Chenggong smiled confidently and said: "I believe that we will all think of a way together, and we will soon think of a good way!" ”
"You can eat hollow rice balls for me!" Zhao Fanghua waited for Ding Chenggong to glance at him angrily, then took a long step, squeezed back to the wellhead, and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, I have tried our best with Secretary Liu and the leadership team in the town to bring sponsorship for everyone." Got five truckloads of bottled water! In a while, it will be sent to everyone! ”
As soon as the words came out, the villagers who had been silent immediately became excited, and involuntarily put down the farm tools in their hands and looked at Zhao Fanghua with hope!
"Xiao Zhao, this kind of thing is not a joke!" As soon as he heard Zhao Fanghua's words, Liu Qinghua suddenly became nervous!
Afraid that he would not be able to honor his empty words, he immediately pulled Zhao Fanghua aside and persuaded him seriously: "This word said in public can't be fulfilled, but it will cause a big mess!" ”
"Don't worry, Secretary Liu, the sponsor is my younger brother Ding Chenggong!" Zhao Fanghua immediately smiled confidently and said, "He will definitely do what he says!" ”
"This kid is quite reliable when he talks and does things!" As soon as he heard that it was Ding Chenggong's sponsorship, Liu Qinghua immediately put his mind at ease and said with a slight smile, "It's still your Xiao Zhao who has great ability, there is a way, and you will solve the big problem as soon as you come back!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Song Qingshan, the deputy mayor of the town, who had been fighting with Zhao Fanghua Ming, immediately whispered: "This is going to take out real money!" This kid isn't necessarily so generous! ”
"My brother isn't that kind of person!" Zhao Fanghua smiled confidently, didn't say much, and quietly waited for the arrival of the new century high-tech team.
Before you know it, a full hour has passed. Seeing that it was already sunset, night was falling, and the promised convoy still did not arrive!
The villagers, who had been waiting for a long time, gradually lost their patience and began to talk in a whisper.
"It's been more than an hour, why hasn't the convoy delivered water yet!"
"It's time to come, it's only more than 40 minutes of car road in the city here, even if you encounter a traffic jam, you should come!"
"Shouldn't you be an official, you have that empty talk to fool us!"
The villagers' discussions are getting louder and louder, and a few guys who can't bear it have boldly come to Zhao Fanghua and asked loudly!
"Mayor Zhao, why haven't you come to the water delivery team you promised us!"
"yes, it's supposed to be here too! The adult dolls in the family are waiting for the draft, are you urging it! ”
"Mayor Zhao, we believe in you, don't fool our Zhuang family!" The little man with the most anxious temperament jumped directly in front of Zhao Fanghua and said unceremoniously: "If you dare to lie to our Hu family, don't blame us for not giving face!" ”
"Don't give face? What do you want! Without waiting for Zhao Fanghua to reply, Ding Chenggong immediately stood up and blocked in front of Zhao Fanghua like a black iron tower!
As soon as he saw this little man, he suddenly blocked in front of him, and took the initiative to shield himself from the wind and rain. Zhao Fanghua's heart was suddenly very happy. She has always been reserved and elegant in front of the public, but she actually took the initiative to hold Ding Chenggong's big hand and enjoyed the warm feeling of being protected by her beloved man!
"We ...... We will use the guy in our hands to snatch it from the hands of the surnamed Zhang! Looking at Ding Chenggong's cold eyes, the little man couldn't help but be frightened!
But in front of everyone, he refused to admit defeat, but he still had the courage to puff up his chest in the face of Ding Chenggong!
"Look, what am I talking about, this kid has caused trouble!" As soon as he saw Ding Chenggong arguing with the villagers, Song Qingshan immediately said to Liu Qinghua: "Secretary Shen, you should stop them in time now!" ”
"How to stop it?" Liu Qinghua immediately became interested.
Song Qingshan immediately said seriously: "Hurry up and severely criticize Zhao Fanghua in public, and let her review it in public!" Let the villagers give their breath, and the matter will pass! ”
Looking at the situation that was about to get out of control, Liu Qinghua pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Now that the matter is over, I can't take care of Xiao Zhao's face." Who made her recognize such an unreliable younger brother! ”
Saying this, Liu Qinghua coughed, came to Zhao Fanghua with a gloomy face, and shouted: "Xiao Zhao, how did you do it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the roar of a truck on the side of the road not far away!
When I looked up, I saw that there were five Dongfeng trucks on the road!
What's even more exciting is that every car is filled with bright bottles of drinking water!
As soon as they saw the Dongfeng convoy full of drinking water, the long-awaited villagers immediately dropped the farm tools in their hands and rushed forward with joy!
"Secretary Liu, what did you just say about my sister?" Seeing that his convoy finally arrived at the scene, Ding Chenggong immediately came to Liu Qinghua and asked reluctantly: "You seem to be asking, what is my sister doing?" ”
"Yes, I'm asking Xiao Zhao what he's doing!" Liu Qinghua immediately smiled embarrassedly, turned his face and said to Zhao Fanghua: "Xiao Zhao, what are you doing, you have won such timely support, and you don't tell me in advance, so that I can prepare early!" ”
Looking at Liu Qinghua's embarrassed look, Zhao Fanghua's heart didn't know how happy it was!
But out of basic officialdom politeness, she still reprimanded Ding Chenggong softly: "You kid, how can you talk to Secretary Liu!" It's not big or small, don't hurry up and apologize to Secretary Liu! ”
Without waiting for Ding Chenggong to speak, Liu Qinghua hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." Xiao Ding gave us such timely assistance, I can't thank you too late! ”
