Chapter 93: Jiangnan and Jiangbei
Money is an important driving force, and without money, ghosts will not be bothered, let alone people. Manager Wan, the leader of the county company, is only interested in money, not in the disadvantaged groups, as long as he has money and smokes high-end cigarettes, who cares about their well-being? Take care of yourself first, take care of yourself, and then serve others.
From top to bottom, when I arrived in the village, not to mention Director Li, everything revolved around money, and I didn't talk without money. If it weren't for the Mars Foundation's money, the village would have ignored Conan and Togo for a long time.
Everyone talked and talked, and soon it was time to go to work. Conan and Togo's task today is to move, and when they are done, they will have to go to the room to organize their belongings and kitchen utensils. Assistant Tan and Conan quit their jobs and went to work.
Togo occupies a quieter room, on the side with his back to the street, he lives poorly in the old dormitory, and this time Conan is not easy to say anything, he can't let everyone get it. The problem is that Togo took the room first and didn't ask Conan's opinion, which is a bit inappropriate.
Togo must be justified, but it is also necessary to be polite, in keeping with the traditions of the countrymen, and not to take the room for granted. Even if you live in a good room, you have to pay attention to humility, so that people feel comfortable, and there will not be a very stiff feeling, over time, Togo will inevitably have some unexpected problems with others. Who knows? Only the Father in Heaven knows.
Then put away the kitchen utensils. When Conan and Togo arrived in the town, they had already bought gas canisters and other utensils that they should have, but when they moved, some things were damaged.
For example, two plastic basins are broken, and one hot water bottle is broken. The young men of the moving company are all violent, and after moving this one, they will drive out the next one.
The small town and county town, like a big enemy these days, seem to be besieged, and everyone is panicking, and they hurry to find a house to move.
The landlord's kitchen is basically new and unused, except that it is covered with dust and there are no traces of oil smoke. Conan and Togo cleaned the kitchen and then cleaned the kitchen utensils, and for the damaged items, the claim was no longer realistic, and the only way to report the matter was to Miss Liu.
I applied to add some things, but Miss Liu didn't approve it, and said that she would use it, maybe she would have to move in the future, and she would buy it when she moved next time. If you are in Jiangcheng or Songgang, as long as Qi Sina needs to buy it, she will approve it immediately, there is no problem of not giving it, and there is no question of saying that you will do your job, and you can't compromise. If you see tatters, it doesn't affect your mood. It still depends on the person.
Conan and Togo had to obey the order, but fortunately, Shen Jing left, so they could spend less, but the necessary items still need to be prepared, but the person in charge did not approve it, and he couldn't report it after buying it.
Forget it, just take it, this little thing is not difficult, is it still a man if it is stumped? Regardless of the kitchen utensils that Miss Liu bought in the Jiangcheng dormitory for the time being, if nothing else, there are five or six kitchen knives alone, preparing for an uprising or what? It's still okay to form a team. The small ones are enough to deter the local tyrants.
Conan thought about it, he was too stupid, didn't there be Zisina in the dormitory? The niece of Feng Feifei, one of the people in charge of the unit, where she lives, what should I do if there are fewer kitchen knives? Besides, Miss Liu and Qi Sina are both girls, and there are still people in meetings at ordinary times, but there is no one in the dormitory at ordinary times.
In Jiangcheng City, many thieves are not afraid of high buildings, are not afraid of being caught, and practice kung fu burglary. You have to prepare a kitchen knife. No matter how good the thief's kung fu is, the two aunts and grandmothers have kitchen knives, whoever sees them is afraid, and they don't even dare to provoke the ghosts.
Thinking about it this way, Conan felt comforted. Don't worry about hot water bottles and vegetable pots anymore, these things are not worth dwelling on. Who told your aunt not to be in charge? Qi is also dry gas, if you are sick, you will cure yourself, no one will replace you, and no one will take care of you when you are angry. Who called you narrow-minded? People who love to be angry are doomed to be unhealthy. It's tried-and-true.
The home in the county town was settled, and the Three Gorges Reservoir would not flood to the current place within a year, Conan was relieved and no longer worried that one day when he came back from the countryside, his home would sink into the water and he would never be seen again, unless he wore a diving suit, and he couldn't find anything under the water. After this side is done, it is time to move to another home, that is, to move a set of things from the village from Ping Village to Hupo Village.
Pingcun's things were loaded into the round-faced girl's car, and the round-faced girl provided Conan with rental information, and also successfully reached a rental contract, which is considered Conan's helper, and she deserves to be taken care of. This car rental from Pingcun to Hupo Village is an opportunity.
Conan and Togo thought of going together, and this time the hero saw the same thing, it turned out that Togo had a good impression of the round-faced girl. When Togo sees a woman, his bones will be soft, no matter what kind of woman he is, he can't stand it. If the beauty trick is used on him when confessing, it will be effective immediately, and there will be no more torture, and he will make it clear honestly. Perhaps, it is possible for Togo to elope with a round-faced girl. Who knows?
Conan invited the round-faced girl for gratitude, and he had no interest in the round-faced girl, but Togo, who was traveling with him, was not so calculating. If you rent a car, you have to pay for whoever you rent, and when the money comes out, both the buyer and the seller are satisfied, then everyone is happy; The amount of money is the industry rule, no matter how far or near the chartered car, 500 yuan a day; As long as it is in the territory of Xiaocheng County, it is this price. In the same way, there is no shortage of round faces. The price is set, and you're ready to go.
The round-faced girl is very familiar with the town, saying that she knows where she is, it can be said that it is the living map of the town, and her driving experience is quite long, she graduated from secondary school and learned to drive, and after getting her driver's license, she began to play the steering wheel, and she has not lost it until now.
Conan takes a car, feels good, and the driver's skill is good; If you don't feel good, then the driver's skills are worse. Conan has been in a lot of cars, and this feeling can't be wrong. He felt comfortable in the round-faced car. When I asked Togo, he said yes.
Conan knew that Togo looked down on him, but Conan didn't care. The gentleman is frank, the villain is often related, the world is axiom, he can't be with Conan, if the leader reuses him, he will keep him by his side, but in fact there is no such arrangement. That is to say, it is still a fantasy to reach the sky in one step. Although Conan is young, he still has feelings for who is good to him and has malice towards him.
Togo echoed, meaning that he didn't want to pay attention. That's it. When you arrive in Pingcun and see familiar things, you can't help but recall scenes from the past.
Conan heard that shortly after the acceptance of the first phase of the project, the old Yan officer died. He died of a heart attack, ten minutes before and after, and by the time he found out, it was too late. His son did not return, and his daughter could not be contacted in the field. The funeral was handled by Xiao Yan, and the neighbors didn't come to take a look. Lao Yan has been in the village all his life, and he has actually reached this step of the field, which can be regarded as okay.
Yan Bo was arrested, sentenced, fined 140,000 yuan, spent 200,000 yuan through the back door, and actually executed a fine of 130,000 yuan, barely saving 10,000 yuan, but the person still didn't come out, locked up in it for 1 year, and it would take 14 years for labor reform, he had two daughters, a wife, and his lover didn't know the number, and the fate of these women, he was on the side of the high wall, and he couldn't know.
Xiao Yan is still in the village, it can be regarded as a smooth road, if the wind is blowing, it is still smooth, he has not encountered any major problems, he is young and promising, and he has a great future.
Officer Wang of Quancun is still in the village for the elderly, but when Officer Chen came out of the exam, he was transferred to the provincial capital to work as a clerk for a large company, and it was his brother's activities that brought him to the province. Things in the village, occasionally inquire, care about it, after all, I was born and raised here, and I have feelings, and I am often haunted by dreams.
Seeing Yan Hong, Conan hurriedly greeted him, and his wife was carrying a hoe to the vegetable garden, and came over immediately. Conan finds his camera and asks the round-faced girl to help take pictures, and after spending so much time with the landlord, he must leave a souvenir. After taking the photo, Conan and Togo packed their things, and Yan Hong and his round-faced sister helped move the things to the car. There is a lot of strength in numbers, and in just ten minutes, it can be done all. Conan waved goodbye to the two old men. I don't know if I'll see you again. The old man is old, and he doesn't know how long he can live in the world, Ji Conan feels a little uncomfortable, it is difficult to meet good people in his life, and these two old people are good people. It's really hard to come by.
After an hour and a half of bumps, the car walked from the newly built highway to the old road, and then from the old road to Guanyin Cave, turned a corner, and arrived at the door of Jia Youniu's daughter's house.
Conan had already called Jia Youniu yesterday, saying that he was going to move in today and asked him to wait at home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car arrived, I saw Jia Youniu standing in front of the house, the door had been opened, and the inside had obviously been cleaned.
The bed frame is also placed in the two bedrooms, one on one side, the room of Conan and Togo, which is not very spacious, and the bed takes up most of the space, leaving some space for toiletries and luggage.
Conan's room has a writing desk, which Togo doesn't have. Conan loves to write something, read books, and needs a desk. Togo doesn't like to write and read. There is no dispute about the ownership of the desk. Conan understood that Togo also wanted a desk, but he didn't find the right reason. If Conan doesn't like to read and write, then the desk must belong to Togo. This is indisputable.
After unloading the things, the round face was about to leave, saying that there was a customer waiting in the county town and asked her to go back. Conan settles the fare with her, and she drives away.
It's just arrived, and everything has to be packed up. After finishing all this, Jia Youniu invited Conan and Togo to the bottom of the slope, where his house was, to eat.
Conan is welcome, it's a mess here, it still needs time to pick it up, eating is a problem, there is no place to buy it, it's all raw, completely self-made. Go to his house to eat first, and then find a way to repay him later. As for Togo, he said, "That's embarrassing." It's okay to eat, but you have to collect money, or you don't go. ”
Conan is there. Jia Youniu didn't know what to do. Conan thought that Togo had different hearts, and if they all went, he would go too.
Thinking about it, Conan said, "Forget it, let's buy instant noodles and eat them." Conan was silent, looking at Jia Youniu, Jia was anxious, and said, "What can I do, I have already prepared, and the old woman is going to say that I can't do anything." ”
Seeing this, Togo whispered, "Then go." I don't know where the store is. The mountains here are sparsely populated, and it's really not easy to find a store. ”
In fact, everyone tacitly knows that their stomachs have long been growling, but hypocrisy still prevails, to see who will pierce this piece of paper first. The goal is the same, the needs are the same, and the rest is to execute it, get a good reputation, and get benefits.
Jia Youniu was very happy, he led the way in front, and Conan and Togo followed. The slope is very steep, the bluestone slabs have been trampled on shining, in the dark woods, the sun shines through the canopy, shining on the path, there is really a bit of paradise.
Jia Youniu's house on the side of the highway was built for his daughter, who worked as a rural teacher for a while, but because the salary was too low, she and her husband went to the south to work.
Before leaving, I heard that there was a good policy, so I applied for the foundation, but I didn't expect that the homestead was quickly approved, so he built a new house on the side of the highway with the help of the villagers. The house is basic, it's always much better than nothing. After working for several years and having a child, the child was left at home and raised by Jia Youniu and his wife. The two of them are relieved to work outside the home. Conan rented a house, and she had some income, which can be regarded as her filial piety to her parents, giving her family some subsidies, and buying some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
While eating and chatting, Jia Youniu introduced the situation in the village.
Hupo Village has a large mountain and a mixed surname, and is a famous immigrant village in history. It is said that before the Qing Dynasty, they moved from Jiangdong, mainly by two surnames, one surnamed Jia, the second surnamed Li, and the third was other miscellaneous surnames. The ethnic group is mainly Tujia, but there are also Miao, Han and other ethnic minorities.
This is not the first time or the last time that the Mars Foundation has done a water project. At present, there are two support units in the village, one is a company and the other is a foundation. The Jia family and the Li family in the village each have an officer, the project leader, and an accountant, also surnamed Jia, who is responsible for bookkeeping.
Not long ago, the Township Water Conservancy Technology Department brought cement to prepare for the implementation of a water conservancy project in the village. Hearing that the foundation had signed a contract with the village, the cement delivery was suspended.
Before the company came to make water, it had attracted a loan from the World Bank to plant orange trees. There are 1,000 acres of orange groves, all planted with orange trees. The World Bank received an application for a green project and agreed to the loan.
As a result, Officer Li, Secretary Jia, and Accountant Jia together diverted the money for other purposes and made a large reservoir, which was called beautiful and used to irrigate the orange orchard. In fact, the pool has no lid and no water comes. There weren't a few orange trees planted, but the money was nowhere to be found.
Speaking of this, Jia Youniu closed his mouth and heard Officer Li coughing outside, Conan didn't know why Secretary Li suddenly appeared here. It's really like a ghost, wandering around, talking carelessly, and maybe being overheard. Words are like water spilled out, it is difficult to take it back, and it is too late to regret it.
