Chapter 159: Victory in the First Battle

As long as the people who often work are very aware of the powerful relationship in this, they will not wait stupidly for the master's family to take care of the meal, that is, to meet and ask if they have eaten, if they say they have not eaten, then there is no follow-up, if they say that they have eaten, it is okay, nothing has happened, this is just the colloquial language of greeting, if they do not eat, they will not be invited to eat at home, or in the future, for example, they will eat at home at noon, if they are stupid, they may still starve in the end, which means that they have not said anything, just like Londoners meet and say haha, saying how the weather is, it is commonplace to talk about the weather in London, Hardly surprising.

In the countryside, it is a very grand thing to top the house, and it is necessary to set off firecrackers to celebrate, and it is exempt here, it is a matter of the big guys, everyone is the master, who is the firecracker to celebrate? However, because of the power of habit, people still think that this matter is important in their minds. But Jia Mingzhu didn't arrange it, everyone only played, that is, arranged, who would pay for the money? Looking for Ji Conan, there was no way to reimburse, and he was also embarrassed to find Superintendent Jia, and only set off firecrackers for one minute on the top of his house. Although I heard Secretary Li's fake greeting, this polite way was still accepted by everyone.

Officer Li's polite diplomacy won everyone's favor, and the next step was Officer Li's order. He divided the teams into small groups. Women are responsible for mixing concrete, men are responsible for handling, and the other men are responsible for using vibrating rods to level concrete.

When the sun had risen, the lid of the pool was half-done, and everyone was highly motivated, regaining the feeling of working together in the big group in the past, only without the sound of red flags and horns, accompanied by the honking of car horns and the roar of vibrators on the road.

When everything was going well and well, the vibrator suddenly became mute. The villagers who operated it, carefully inspected, and found no faults. When he was puzzled, Li Zhishu came down and said: "The vibrator is not broken, it is a power outage." ”

"There's a power outage? So what to do? Jia Mingzhu asked.

"You still have to do it, or you will lose all your efforts. These things are very difficult to solidify, and it is easy to solidify when the weather is so hot. You have to think of a way. Officer Li said.

"This power supply bureau is also yes, this is an international project, if it is not done well, the impact will be bad. I still have to find a way to send electricity. Jia Mingzhu said.

"I'll get in touch." Officer Li said.

Conan heard Officer Li calling the township power supply station, "Why don't you notify the power outage in advance?" ”

"What's going on?"

"Our village is doing a big project, it is the Mars Foundation that helps our village to solve the problem of drinking water, and is pouring concrete, it is hot again, the cement is drying up quickly, who will pay for this loss? Who is responsible? ”

"Alright, alright, forget it!"

Officer Li turned off the phone, angry, and the villagers also started to talk about it, and they were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the power supply bureau.

Director Li said: "The township responsible person has not received a notice, and it is the power supply bureau that overhauls the line today. Some trees are too dense and need to be cut down, otherwise, they are prone to accidents during thunderstorms. They workers are busy with this. Also, summer is the time when trees grow wildly, what are they doing early? ”

Jia Mingzhu said: "My son's classmate is in the power supply bureau, why don't you ask him to see if he can supply electricity?" ”

"You can give it a try, and without the vibrator, the construction is tough and it doesn't work well," Conan said. ”

Officer Li said: "No, this route involves a lot of places, and it is not so easy. If we want to find someone, we will go directly to the county to see if it can work, and I am afraid that finding the power supply bureau will not work. ”

A woman said: "Lao Li is right, you can ask, the county clerk is still from our village, this bit of face should be given." ”

Another woman said: "It's the husband of the show, why is it your husband, you are stinky and beautiful!" ”

There was a burst of laughter from the women.

Qian Zhongshu said very reasonably, "Where there are many chickens and ducks, there is a lot of dung; Where there are many women, there are many laughs. ”

Everyone can take this opportunity to relieve the tension and busyness just now, and take the opportunity of the power outage to have a good rest.

"I'm the husband of all women." Li Zhishu said.

"If you're our husband, what about the show? Can you sleep in a bed? The woman said.

"Look at what you said, why can't you sleep, if you can't sleep, sleep on the ground." Li Zhishu said.

"Sisters sleep on the bed, your eldest man sleeps on the ground, right, sisters?" The woman said.

The women shouted in unison, "Yesβ€”β€”! ”

"I won't sleep!" Li Zhishu said.

"Don't sleep? It's not like I haven't slept. I drank too much wine at other people's houses, and I looked everywhere, so you went down to the pit and fell asleep, didn't you? The woman said;

"yes. However, the hero didn't mention that he was brave back then. Officer Li said.

"Are you still a good man? How brave you are! Drinking Yong is pretty much the same. Be careful that your family shows don't want you. The woman said.

"She's half-old, who wants it? Could it be that there are still young offspring who want her? Li Zhishu asked.

"That maybe. When the lamp is pulled, isn't it the same? The woman said.

There was another burst of laughter from the women.

Officer Li left, and he went to the pool to have a look. The villagers are leveling the part that had just been shaken.

After the vibration of the vibrating rod, the concrete has a layer of cement slurry on the surface, and after a sip, it is shiny and good-looking, which is considered a success. Wait for about half an hour, you can cover the grass curtain, avoid the exposure of the sun, let its interior slowly condense, and so the water volatilization, within 24 hours, it will be solidified, and then sprinkled with water for maintenance the next day, do it every day, even do it for half a month, no need to water again, and wait until 20 days later, you can remove the mold, and the pool cover will be completed.

Because of the power outage, the remaining part of the vibrator could not work, which was not expected by everyone. When there is no electricity, the power supply is very timely, but when I want to use electricity today, there is no electricity.

According to the past practice, the power supply bureau pulled the power outage without prior notice, and the mountain was sparsely populated, and people complained, and there was no doorway. Wait until you find the power supply bureau in person, and go back and forth once, not to mention the cost of a lot of money, it is difficult to have people who ask for their lives for the people, anyway, everyone has no electricity, and it is not that they can't get along with me. Everyone is waiting.

Some large electricity users, if they don't use electricity, it will affect their business, and they don't want to go to Guizhou City to find the power supply bureau theory, and when they go, maybe they get off work, or on the way to or back, they send electricity again, and you have no evidence to complain.

In this way, the power supply bureau became the boss, everyone was silent, allowing it to transmit power or cut off power, sending without notifying, stopping without notifying, limiting power without notifying, everyone was in the dark, using it if it has, and not using it if it is not.

However, today is a special day.

After Officer Li had a polite conversation with the county, he explained the reason. The county was busy, and he knew the situation and promised to ask the director of the power supply bureau about the situation immediately.

Director Li breathed a sigh of relief.

He told everyone to get on with it. Before the call comes, it can't be stopped, otherwise, the concrete won't work. As soon as he gave the order, everyone moved.

Look at the sun already hanging in the middle of the sky, it's noon.

"At noon, everyone has been working since the morning, and it is time to eat something. Zoom in on the vacation to go back to get food, and it is estimated that no one will come in the afternoon. What do you think? Officer Lee asked Conan.

"You mean ......?" Conan asked.

"I want to keep everybody here. The project is not finished, and you can't give up halfway. There is no vibrator, it is done manually, and it is pounded with rebar. At noon, everyone bought something to eat in the small shop. The requirements are not high, and they are not expensive. What do you think? Officer Li said.

"Wait a minute. I'll ask the leader for advice. Conan said.

"Okay." Officer Li walked away and continued to direct everyone to do things. He also took the time to give them a hand, helped them get on the concrete, and asked the man to carry the basket, and he helped to help him.

Conan dialed Miss Liu's phone, and he also wanted Miss Liu to feel the atmosphere of the construction site, which was in full swing, and Miss Liu would definitely affirm Conan's work. In fact, this approach seems that Ji Conan is a little naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, you just do it again, Miss Liu doesn't trust you, only trusts Togo, followed by Yin Xianren, and finally Ji Conan. If there is really no one to trust, Miss Liu would rather not believe anyone here, of course, that fat girl Feng Feifei, she must trust, she has no choice, who made people choose Feng Feifei at a glance? This is a later story, so I won't say it for the time being, and I'll talk about it later.

Then, Conan reported the situation to Miss Liu, and by the way, raised the question of lunch, but unexpectedly, Miss Liu readily agreed, allowing each person a bowl of instant noodles, two ham sausages, and a bottle of mineral water.

After receiving Miss Liu's instructions, Conan gestured to Officer Li. Officer Li walked over with a smile, and after listening to Conan's words, he went to make arrangements. Anyway, someone pays the bill, and he is extraordinarily attentive.

He went straight to his brother's shop, brought a box of instant noodles, a box of mineral water and a pack of ham sausages, didn't know where he got the strength, he just moved the things to the construction site, and then shouted for everyone to rest, and with the assistance of Jia Mingzhu, distributed food and water to everyone. Jia Mingzhu is very good at arranging such things, and he is also relatively upright, distributing food, and will not favor one or the other. No one is worried about running out of food.

While eating, everyone joked, and Conan didn't know why they were so happy and in a good mood when they were so tired.

"Don't forget, this meal at noon was Mr. Ji's treat." Li Zhishu said.

Everyone thanked Conan. Conan waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no welcome, everyone try to eat as much as possible." If you haven't eaten enough, say yes. This is the person in charge of the Mars Foundation to everyone's affirmation of your work, please have a working meal, it's nothing, everyone is very willing to do their own thing, worthy of recognition, worthy of praise, your every move proves that you love each other, is a group of people who are united and friendly. ”

Indeed, everyone still knows how to be grateful, and no one asks for more. Conan knows very well that people who do farm work all year round will definitely not be able to eat such a little thing, and they will not be able to eat enough. However, there is no opinion. Even, some women left ham sausages and refused to eat them, saying that they were leaving them for their children to eat. It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world. Ji Conan remembered that when he was a child, his father worked overtime, had a working meal, and sent two meat buns, but he was reluctant to eat them, took them home, and shared them with the children. Ji Conan thought of his child again, is he a grateful person? However, as soon as this thought appeared, Ji Conan was ashamed, he was not a grateful person, why did he ask for a child? You can do it yourself first, and only when you do it well can you educate your children to be convincing.

Conan was really touched by the simple, kind and hard-working folks.

After eating, resting for a few minutes, everyone went on to work. After the car delivering the sand and gravel came, Secretary Li asked Jia Mingzhu: "Look, the car is here, is the sand and gravel enough?" Do you want this car to be dragged out? ”

After Jia Mingzhu asked the villagers who were more experienced in making houses, he said: "I still need a car, so I don't want it." The last car. Remember, what comes from Dora is pulled back, and we only need the last car. ”

Director Li glanced at Jia Mingzhu, did not speak again, and did not bother with Jia Mingzhu. Jia Mingzhu means that Director Li is deaf and let everyone hear it, that is, Director Li can't hear it. Officer Li told his nephew that he was going to pull the last cart of gravel, and then went to arrange other things.

At this moment, Director Li's elder brother ran over and said, "It's coming, it's calling." ”

Officer Li hurriedly ran down to tell the villagers who were carrying out the irrigation project, and the construction workers picked up the vibrator and started working. The sound of the vibrator made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and now that they don't have to worry about the pool lid not being solid.

It was really hard to pound the concrete with rebar, and the villagers' shirts or T-shirts were basically wet with sweat and clinging to the flesh, and some villagers simply took off their shirts and worked shirtless. The muscles on his body were dark and shiny. The beads of sweat on his forehead and face shone even brighter in the light of the sun. The clothes that were set aside had a layer of white salt, like a map.

By the time the sun was in the west, the work was complete. Everything returned to calm, as if it had not been a hot labor. The mountain village returned to its usual state. Occasionally, a numb cart came running from the other side of the mountain, and suddenly ran and ran away. The shuttle bus to Jiangcheng began to slowly go up the hill and then down the mountain, very careful, such a car is sleeper, it has to run for a night, and it will not arrive in Jiangcheng until dawn.

Jia Mingzhu kept a few men to deal with the aftermath, and the others disbanded. These men are skilled workers, including carpenters, rebar workers, and bricklayers, who perform the final treatment of the concrete surface, and they are always busy, unlike porters and mixers, who are quick and tiring in their work, but not tormented. Those who stay will not be able to return home until late.
