Lao Tan didn't want to stop and listen to Wang Enyi's chatter, but when he saw that they hadn't left, he stopped.

When Mr. Legless asked about special care, he said slowly: "We have already told the village officials that the village committee is studying a special care plan for extremely poor households. Don't worry, there will be good news. ...... I think you should be counted as a household, but the specific implementation rules still have to be taken out by the village, and we are inconvenient to ask. Just be patient. ”

"Thank you, thank you for your care, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the disabled people in the village." Wang Enyi said that the way Ji Conan looked at him was a type of flamboyant tongue, saying one thing and actually doing another. Wang Enyi said with a look of gratitude. This guy pays lip service and does little in practice, which has become a stark example.

Ji Conan listened a little weird, looked at Shen Jing and Togo, they were silent, Lao Tan saw this and hurriedly corrected him and said: "Don't be mistaken, this money is love money, donated by private charities, not from the official, not with financial allocation, it is donated by caring people, through these units according to the plan allocation, I am only the person in charge of the cooperative unit, to figure out the ins and outs of the funds, know who gave it." So as not to cause misunderstanding. ”

"Oh, that's right, I'm mistaken, misunderstood, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I thought it was a project I had done before! I think everyone has it, and everyone has a share in egalitarianism! Wang Enyi said embarrassedly, his eyes rolling around, looking for a target or changing the subject in his mind. As he spoke, he didn't listen to the work in his hands, and his eyes turned flexibly, in short, he did things against time, spoke eagerly, changed topics very quickly, and moved his hands quickly, like a jackal circling around a wounded zebra, looking for an opportunity to bite and bite.

It seems that the relevant units have a lot of projects in this village, and he has received great favors, but he is not satisfied, and is still trying to find a way to ask for it. Because of the good policy, they have benefited a lot, they have received benefits, they are still not satisfied, they still need some, if they really meet the current situation, they will still have a greater appetite in the future. It is better to give them fish than to give them fish. This truth should be understood.

They left his house and walked in the direction of Pingcun. The morning bus has long passed, and the morning bus returns in the afternoon, and it is not a good way, so they have to rely on two legs to go to Pingcun, fortunately, Pingcun is in the downhill place, and Quancun is on the top of the mountain, so there is no need to climb the mountain anymore. They walked all the way, talked all the way, and soon arrived at the house of Xiao Yan, the director of Pingcun.

He happened to be at home. His wife was preparing to sweep the floor in the yard, strangely, sweeping the floor at this time, I don't know why. It looks like it's very frightened, but why is that?

When Xiao Yan saw them coming, he immediately greeted Lao Tan and Ji Conan, and his wife put down the broom, and hurriedly went to get the water bottle, pinched some tea leaves, and made half a cup of tea for each of them. His wife is still worried, she seems to be afraid of something, suspicious, her eyes are always looking at Xiao Yan, for fear that Xiao Yan will have an accident, people are middle-aged, they pay more attention to the relationship between husband and wife, and are more concerned about the health of husband and wife, as long as they can exist healthily, everything is possible, no matter how much planning, no matter how good the plan, without health, everything becomes zero.

"What does Manager Tan have to do?" Officer Yan asked.

"Don't shout like that, is the manager shouting nonsense? Mr. Jia and Mr. Li are the managers, and I am running errands. Today, I want to tell you one thing, which has something to do with Mr. Jia.

"Oh, is it? So important! Do you have to go through Mr. Jia? Actually, I still admire Manager Tan very much. You're too low-key. Sometimes you still need to stand up and speak. Xiao Yan asked.

"Yes, it's very important, listen to me, after Mr. Ji's application, the county branch agreed, to help find a place to live in the village, so that the water conservancy project can be supervised." Lao Tan said.

"This is no problem, solve it immediately, when it comes to stationing, I really think of a place, you see, it should be no problem, the time is limited, it is not early, in order to catch the last ship, you have to hurry up." Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to see. Xiao Yan said.

It seems that Xiao Yan is really resolute, just do what she says. This made them completely subvert their initial impression of him. He looked at the mountains very young, he didn't get rid of the student spirit of the old high school students, and he wasn't sophisticated in doing things, who knew that after dealing with him for a long time, he would understand this person.

Xiao Yan first took them to see the family surnamed Xiong, where the house was a little dilapidated, but it was still fully functional, the kitchen and toilet were separated, there was a yard, and there was a bamboo forest. The problem is that there are too few rooms there, there are no three bedrooms, and if Shen Jing comes, there is no way. Therefore, this family is considered negative.

"Let's look at one more." Xiao Yan said. Director Yan did not admit defeat at all, he was willing to serve everyone, which made people feel very happy and happy. This is also considered a sunshine person.

He took them to a Fang family's house to see. The current hostess of the Fang family is a young and beautiful woman, her husband is working outside, she didn't go out because she was pregnant, and now she lives alone. Her house is very good, but they live there, I'm afraid that some people will gossip after a long time, plus, he and Togo are both men, living in a woman's house, over time, afraid that something will happen, forget it, Ji Conan vetoed it. If this matter is not clear, it is easy to have an accident, and men and women do not kiss, so it is better to pay attention.

He did so, and Togo did not object. Under normal circumstances, Togo does not take a stand, and when it comes to critical moments, he wants to say his opinion, which sometimes surprises people, and his thoughts and statements are very strange.

When he arrived at the third house, Xiao Yan introduced it and said, "These are two old people, and his family has four children, two girls and two sons. The children live outside, but his eldest daughter's house is about 50 to 100 meters away from his house. Usually the old man takes care of this empty house. The eldest daughter's family lives in the county seat. Come back for a few days during the New Year's holidays, and usually this house is idle. I think it's more appropriate, but it's up to you, I'm just suggesting. ”

They listened, looked at each other, and thought it was okay. It's quieter, if you study and train, you can do it in the living room, you don't need much space, one house is enough, and in general the house is fully functional. If there is such a house in the city, it should belong to the local tyrant, or to other rich owners.

There is a yard, there is a roof, you can dry clothes and bedding, there are three bedrooms, and there is a place to sleep when Shen Jing comes; The kitchen is still relatively large, there is a toilet at the back of the house, in short, this house is more suitable, so they decided to rent it.

made an appointment with the landlord to move, and then they returned to Xiao Yan's house and continued to drink tea.

Ji Conan remembered the strange things that happened in Pingcun mentioned by Togo last time, so he asked Officer Yan: "There have been some strange things in Pingcun recently, right?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "Yes, recently in my village, there are three places, three points, high, medium and low slopes, all of which have died, and they are not old or sick, and they are suddenly gone, I don't know what the reason is." ”

While everyone was talking, the wife of the deceased, who lived on a high place, came, sat down and said, "I found this in my husband's snakeskin bag. ”

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper that read: "Yan Aihua, male, 49 years old, from Ping Village, Guizhou County, Jingchu Province, sells blood at my place, and the consequences are at your own risk." According to this. After Xiao Yan read it, he handed the strip to Lao Tan to see, so that's it!

The other two, one lives on the mountainside, the other lives at the foot of the mountain, and Yan Aihua went out to work together, in one place, maybe the three of them are all doing the business of selling blood, and they are very likely to be sick, what the disease is, it is not clear.

"Did Dr. Mu come last time?" Lao Tan said.

"Which one?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Isn't Dr. Mu from the county CDC coming to the village for a water quality test? The last time he was in Izumi Village, he said he was coming. Lao Tan said.

"Oh, yes, yes, he's been here. The last time he came, I wasn't at home, but Director Xu was there, and he called me and told me about it. I have a general impression. What's wrong? Xiao Yan said.

"Does he know about the dead in the village?"

"At that time, it hadn't happened yet, and he probably didn't know it."

"Like Yan Aihua, how many people are working outside the village?"

"There are about 380 of them."

"That's a lot. Where do you usually work? ”

"Generally in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are also people who go to Zhongyuan Province and Zhongshan Province to dig coal."

"Then you sort out a document next time, reflect it to the above, see if you can prepare, and give migrant workers a physical examination when they return to their hometowns. Of course, this is not my job, I just remind you that without a single person in the family, the situation is very different. ”

"Yes. Like this one, when he was in the prime of life, he was gone, and his family lacked a pillar of support, and his income was affected. ”

As they talked, the woman who had just come in burst into tears.

Shen Jing and Xiao Yan's wife hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, and brought her a tissue to wipe her eyes.

Finally, the woman stopped crying, they were going to leave Pingcun, Director Yan left them at home for a light meal, they were in a hurry, afraid that they would not be able to catch the last boat after eating, so they politely declined. Xiao Yan didn't force it, so he let them go.

It just so happened that there was a van to deliver goods to Yan Bo's home, and Yan Bo opened a commissary in the school, and as long as the delivery person received a call, he would deliver it to his door in time. Yan Bo called Officer Yan and asked when he would start to enter the cement, and Officer Yan asked Lao Tan, and Lao Tan said, "It will take another week." ”

Chief Officer Yan immediately told Yan Bo the news.

Then, Officer Xiao Yan asked by the way: "Has the car left?" ”

Yan Bo said he didn't leave.

"It just so happens that Manager Tan and Mr. Ji are here with me, if it's convenient, help lead the way." Xiao Yan said.

"No problem, I'll arrange it." Yan Bo said that it didn't take long for a van to slowly drive into the courtyard of Xiao Yan's house.

"Yan Bo's shopkeeper said that there are a few guests here, I'll come over and pull it, please get in the car, anyway, I have to go back and take you empty, it's good to take you along the way, why don't you say that it's also a friend of Boss Xu?" Said the driver.

They thanked each other and got into the car one by one, considering that Ji Conan and Shen Jing were younger, they took the initiative to sit in the last row, and let Lao Tan and Togo sit in front, so as not to make the road bad and bumpy and uncomfortable.

Back in the county seat, it was already dark. At night, they are too lazy to move, do not go to the street, but fortunately there are some noodles at home, so they put down noodles and eat, they are too tired today, after eating, wash their faces, soak their feet, and fall asleep.

After dawn, Lao Tan called and said, "Go to the cement factory today to sign the contract." ”

Ji Conan and Togo Shen Jing said, Shen Jing said that if she didn't go, Togo would just go. Ji Conan didn't want to force her too much, so he had to ask her to go, so he said, "Okay, let's go, you guard the door." Shen Jing happily agreed.

Ji Conan and Togo climbed the road above the mountain and waited for Lao Tan to come over. This road follows the Yangtze River, winding and twisting, climbing up the mountain, and walking from the bridge when it encounters the river. The road was above their dwellings and could have been an escape route. Since the impoundment of the Three Gorges, the water level has been rising, affecting the geological structure, and local mountain collapses and landslides have occurred. The government posted an escape route map, which included this road, which could be climbed in case of danger.

The cement factory is under the road, and they know that Lao Tan will take a car in this direction, so they don't have to go to the county branch office building to catch a car. Lao Tan will definitely come numbly, and when he sees them, they can save a fare when they get on the bus again.

The cement plant produces a large amount of smoke, in the canyon on the Yangtze River, ethereal, like a long gauze scarf, but this smoke is actually the exhaust gas produced by the cement plant. People inhale this smoke for a long time and it is certainly not good for people.

Lao Tan's car stopped in front of them, and they got into the car and went straight to the cement factory. There are some people in the sales department of the cement factory, some are in the office, some are doing things, inside and out, coming and going, and it is very lively. In recent years, the cement used in the construction of Guizhou New Town is produced here. Coupled with the fact that a large number of farmers build houses and use a lot of cement, the source of which happens to be produced by this factory, it seems that business here is good.

Lao Tan found the head of the sales section and explained his intentions, and the section chief said: "I have known for a long time, and I have communicated many times on the phone, but you are too busy and there are too many things, so I haven't seen you coming." ”

"The price we talked about last time, I made a report and asked the company's leaders for instructions, and the leaders had no opinions. Today, I just invited representatives of donors to sign a sales contract with you. Lao Tan said.

"Now the price of cement has risen." The section chief said that there is nothing to fear, cement is a straining thing, just like the emperor's daughter, she will not worry about marrying no matter what.

When they heard this, they were stunned, Ji Conan was shocked, if the price was not raised, it might be able to ensure the smooth progress of the project in the three villages, but now that the price has increased, the funds are a little enough. I don't know how Lao Tan coped with this sudden situation.
