It didn't take long for Jia Mingzhu and Jia Xinyi to come, they smiled and talked as they walked, met Conan, Yin Xianren and Tang Rui, and asked, "How many people do you need help?" ”

"One is in charge of the record, and I'll take care of it. Two people help open the way, two people help hold the ruler, you two, call two more, and that's it. Tang Rui said.

"Just call Jia Youniu and call Li Huafa in addition, isn't it all together?" Jia Xinyi said.

"Jia Youniu is honest, Li Huafa is timid, you really know how to use people, okay, just do as you say, who called you my uncle?" Jia Mingzhu said.

Conan saw him smiling flatteringly, and couldn't help but feel sick for a while, how could he choose such a person as the director of the management committee? However, in Hupo Village, which has always practiced the patriarchal system, it is impossible to implement something similar to everyone being the master, Jia Mingzhu knows this very well, so he simply became a slave, how good it is to be safe and comfortable in this way, and the righteous indignation against Officer Li and Officer Jia at the beginning was just a performance, which deceived people's trust, and finally the handle of the real power was in the hands of Director Li. Jia Mingzhu is still an ordinary villager, and with the support of the foundation, he is temporarily regarded as a puppet, a chess piece, playing with position through an invisible hand, and entering the chess game, either life or death. Outsiders look at the excitement, insiders look at the doorway.

Jia Xinyi screamed at the bottom of the hill, like the kind of sound that hunters shouted when they were hunting, and it didn't take long for there to be an echo, and it was also a scream, and in less than ten minutes, Jia Youniu stood in front of everyone and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Jia Xinyi said: "Measuring water pipes." ”

Jia Youniu asked Jia Mingzhu: "How to do it, Director Jia?" ”

Jia Mingzhu waved his hand and said, "Where is it, where am I the director, don't scold me." The real director didn't come, he didn't, I was just a tool. Everyone knows this, so let's not say it. ”

"We want to eat tap water, it's all up to you, we can't do it without you." Jia Youniu said.

"It's up to everyone." Jia Mingzhu said.

"Everyone is going to act quickly, get down to business, roll up your sleeves and work hard, and I will rush back to the township water plant after I finish it." Tang Rui said.

So, Conan and Yoon Hyun-in followed them towards the water source. When the group just arrived at the water source next to the three water cellars, a strong man jumped out, five short stature, chest muscles are very strong and developed, arms are on par with Conan's thighs, see people with a smile on their faces, the voice is like a bell, as soon as they speak, the sound travels far away, and talk to him must be three steps away, otherwise they will be hit by the sound wave.

"My name is Jia Maogang. It's the water pipe. He said.

Conan suddenly remembered that he had seen him at the first mass congress, the person who had been chased away by Officer Li at that time. Conan entered the village to help the villagers of Li Jialiangzi to do water conservancy projects, and it was a test for him to do a good job in management and charging.

It is still unknown who will take care of the water and who will charge for it, and it is also a challenge whether the impact will affect his current income. Conan didn't know the situation either, and didn't know what he really wanted.

"You, we've seen you." Conan said.

"yes. When you have a meeting, you don't have to say anything, and you leave. Jia Maogang said.

"Yes, I had something to do at the time, and I had to hurry up to find a house and prepare to rent it in the village." Conan said.

"My house is down there, I can't finish the water here, give it to some people over there, I'm managing the old pipe network, I will collect the water bill, and I'll repair it if it's broken." Jia Maogang said.

"In the future, we will establish a water management system, and we need to vote on who to choose as a water manager." Conan said.

"Hope to be chosen." Jia Maogang said.

After he said this, he was about to leave.

"Don't go yet, I need your help. You are familiar with the route of the old water pipe, please help point it out. Jia Xinyi said.

"Yes, I do. Don't forget me if it's good in the future. Jia Maogang said.

As he spoke, everyone began to measure from the farthest water cellar, and Jia Maogang pointed out the location where the old water pipe was buried, and then Jia Youniu and Jia Mingzhu pulled the tape measure to measure, and Tang Rui recorded.

When he walked to the place overgrown with thorns and needed to cut down the branches, Li Huafa appeared. Come and help Jia Xinyi chop branches. When Jia Xinyi saw Li Hua coming, he blamed him for a few words, and then ordered Jia Youniu to cut down miscellaneous branches and vines, and he and Jia Mingzhu took the tape ruler, and Tang Rui recorded the number reported by Jia Xinyi.

Jia Xinyi saw that Conan and Yin Xianren were left behind, Yin Xianren was fat, too lazy to drill the thorny jungle, so he didn't want to go, Conan saw that he refused to go, and was worried that Jia Xinyi would make a ghost, and when he was in a dilemma, Jia Maogang said: "Mr. Ji, you don't need to use it, it's very difficult to walk here." I have a foundation at home, and I have measured it before, and it will not be much worse. ”

"Your family has original records, so we don't need to measure them." Tang Rui said.

"It's been many years, and now that the address of the pool has changed, it should be remeasured." Conan said.

"Yes. We need to grasp the first-hand information and purchase the water pipes we need according to the facts, no more, no less, no waste, so that we can explain to the donors. Yin Xianren said.

"Yes. The original records of Jia Maogang's home can be used as a reference. Ji Conan said.

Tang Rui did not insist on his opinion anymore. Follow the measurement team and move forward slowly.

Conan said to Yin Xianren: "The water pipeline line is parallel to the village road, Brother Yin, we can take the big road and follow the team above." Sometimes, the water pipe may be buried next to the road when it reaches the front. ”

Yoon Hyun-in agreed to the proposal, and the two of them followed the road. Jia Xinyi kept counting the numbers.

Jia Xinyi is a goose plucking goods, has been coveting the water pipe for a long time, his family lives at the slope of Jia Guan's house, the water source is not a problem, can not eat, and urgently needs to replace the water pipe. At the beginning of the project, as members of the project site office, they had already made it clear that they could not let Director Li take all the benefits. Director Li also basically agreed with their opinions, and they should take care of them thoroughly, and they should not miss anything and miss a major event.

Director Li drank two sips of wine, and many chores needed the help of Secretary Jia and Jia Finance, and it was difficult to be perfect and foolproof by relying on Secretary Li alone.

As the saying goes, "one fence has three piles, and one hero has three gangs." If Secretary Li wants to do a good job in the village work, not be criticized, and live up to his own alcohol addiction, he must rely on the members of the village committee.

Jia Xinyi has already left the heart to get water pipes for himself, and when he reported the number, he deliberately shouted more, so that when he planned to do so, it was possible to have the remaining water pipes. As long as the water pipe reaches the village, it can't be used up and wants to pull it away, but there is no door. Jia Xinyi played "Little Jiujiu" well, and naturally generated an account in his heart, which in the eyes of outsiders, is a conspiracy at all, and people are ready to play a few moves without knowing it.

Tang Rui didn't know, he was still stupidly recording every piece of data, as long as he listened carefully and watched Jia Xinyi's movements, he understood how his wishful thinking was played. Tang Rui didn't expect it to be so far-reaching, just to complete the task, make the plan, and cope with the errand.

Several people measured the distance from the water source to the farthest farmer's house, Tang Rui made a careful record, and then gathered at Director Li's house.

Director Li knows that this is a big deal, but the disease does not change, or greedy for a cup, the current wine is distilled, with a high degree, unlike the wine brewed in the past, which is equivalent to rice wine, no wonder Wu Song drank eighteen bowls, if he drank distilled wine, not to mention that the three bowls of the store are not enough, it is one bowl, and it can also knock down a hero. Not to mention eighteen bowls? Even a man who is beaten with iron will get drunk, and he will have been eaten by a tiger a long time ago. If the tiger eats the man, he will get drunk, and maybe he will be eaten by the wild wolf, and after the wild wolf eats it, maybe the whole wolf pack will not be good, and there may be more stories. Who knows? No one knows. Only those who drink alcohol know. Similarly, if it is put on Li Bai and drinks distilled wine, not to mention that it is the drinker who leaves his name, he can't write a poem, he has already fallen asleep, and he went to play in the black sweet country, and he is having fun, what kind of poetry do you write? It's better to talk about it when you're tired of playing.

Officer Li's wine has been half awakened, but it is still not good to speak, just like the tongue is short, he may not have eaten pork for a long time, he wants to eat it, no, he bites off his tongue to relieve his cravings, of course, he is normal, when he does not drink, his teeth are broken because of drinking, and a lot of them fall out, and when he speaks, there is no pronunciation of teeth, or the pronunciation of the teeth is not compact enough, which will cause him to say something that is not clear, like inaccurate pronunciation, which affects communication with people.

While making tea for the visitor, his wife scolded Director Li: "Death does not admit mistakes, death does not repent, it is really not a person!" In the ditch where you die in the future, there will be no one to collect your body. ”

Everyone listened to his wife's swearing, it was very unpleasant, and such vicious words were said, which shows that the relationship between Director Li and his wife is a little tense, and it may have reached the worst point. If you want to talk about wine, it is the fault that it causes.

Jia Mingzhu persuaded her: "Don't say a word, isn't it safe to come back?" ”

It's okay not to persuade her, but after persuading, she became more and more angry, and said: "What's the good thing about doing this, being an officer, I really hang out every day, don't do serious things, don't leave the house every day, I'm busy inside and out, and I have to take my grandson, he is busy with the affairs of the public family, and he drinks his stomach, who cares?" Aren't you the director of the management committee? How did it go the other way around? You're like an officer, he's like a director! I wondered, who of you is organizing this? ”

When she asked, Jia Mingzhu didn't dare to say anything, and what people said was reasonable. The director of the management committee didn't do anything, but he was very busy. How do you explain this?

Officer Li seemed to be accustomed to this kind of complaining, and after listening to everyone's gossip report, he said, "Thank you for your help. Next, Tang Rui went back to make a budget. In addition, I also want Tang Rui to look at the water pipe sample and take it back for an experiment to see how the quality is. ”

As he spoke, he took out the sample of the water pipe that Ning Lei brought last time, and there were two specifications. Tang Rui said: "Okay, I'll take it back for testing and testing to see how the quality is." I will come to the village the day after tomorrow to hand over the plan and test results, and I need the support of all members of the project office to do a good job in the work of the villagers for the installation of water pipes, so as not to encounter obstacles and successfully complete the project. ”

"Okay, that's all for today, my head is still drowsy, but the pigs still have to be fed, let's all go back." Officer Li said.

Conan wanted to leave a long time ago, but for the sake of face, everyone didn't move, and he was embarrassed to move, so bear with it. Unexpectedly, the closer the person, the more unpleasant the speech, as if a curse is a blessing.

Conan and Yin Xianren said goodbye to Secretary Li and returned to his rented farmhouse from the small road, Yin Xianren said: "I'm really tired today, I need to take a break, I'll lie down for a while, and call me to cook in 20 minutes." ”

Conan nodded, and went back to their rooms. After Conan returned to the room, he recorded what he did today, and in a few simple words, he could know the real progress of the project, and he would be able to write a report in the future. It's really a good memory, but it's better to have a bad pen.

It is said that after Tang Rui returned to the Late Autumn Township Water Plant, he began to sort out the measurement data, and then estimated how much purchase funds were needed. In addition, the samples retrieved were also tested and analyzed. At this moment, Tang Rui's mobile phone rang.

Tang Rui answered, it was a stranger, Tang Rui asked, "Who are you?" ”

A sentence came out of the microphone: "I'm a plumber, and I want to ask you out for dinner." ”

"I don't know you, and I'm very busy right now, so I can't accompany you." Tang Rui said.

Tang Rui hung up his phone, and when he was done, he returned home and saw a stranger coming to the house, who seemed to be an uninvited guest. Sitting on the sofa and drinking tea, Tang Rui's wife was busy in the kitchen, and when she heard the sound of Tang Rui coming back, she ran out, took the tool kit in Tang Rui's hand, put it in the shoe cabinet, and said, "I'm back, this guest said that he was your friend, and he came to see you and said that he was looking for you." You talk first, I'm going to get busy. ”

Tang Rui sat and looked at this person who didn't look like an ordinary person, dressed up, and looked like a successful businessman, but Tang Rui didn't know him, and was about to speak, the man introduced himself and said: "My name is Ning Lei, I am a classmate of the younger brother of Mr. Wan of the county branch, a plumber, I heard that Engineer Tang has just returned from Hupo Village and is in charge of Hupo Village, so I came to see you and express my admiration." ”

Tang Rui didn't come back to his senses, Ning Lei took out a wad of money from his bag and said, "I was in a hurry when I came, I didn't bring any gifts, I don't know what to buy for your child to eat and play, this is a bag for her, please accept it." I don't have anything to say, I just hope that you can conduct scientific experiments and calculate the water pipes needed in the village. Complete the task with quality and quantity. ”

When Tang Rui saw the money, he felt very cordial in his heart, and his words suddenly changed, he said: "It's not easy for you, you came from a great and distant place, and you have worked hard." Don't leave today, let's have a light meal at my house. ”

"No hassle. My classmate asked me to have dinner in Guizhou City in the evening. I can't miss my appointment. Ning Lei said.

Ning Lei said, he didn't drink the tea anymore, for fear that Tang Rui would regret it, so he immediately stood up and left. Tang Rui pretended to be humble and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here, I'm here, what bag do you bring, it's true!" ”

Tang Rui sent Ning Lei away, returned to the house, picked up the money, counted it, there were 50,000 yuan, he smiled, pondered in his heart, and knew that it was time to do this next.
