Chapter 46: Quietly entering the village
They returned to the county seat and helped Ji Conan buy a return ticket, but did not buy tickets for Togo and Shen Jing, obviously, Lao Tan of the county branch only recognized Ji Conan alone and excluded the two of them, which was not a very glorious thing for Ji Conan, but made Ji Conan very scared and fell into an embarrassing situation. This is deliberately separating Ji Conan from Togo and Shen Jing, splitting the three of them, and then breaking them individually, something will definitely happen in the future.
As for what it is, no one knows for the time being, but this kind of practice actually distances him from Shen Jing and Togo, putting him in an awkward position.
Togo and Shen Jing must not think about it in their hearts. Shen Jing had already had an opinion about Lao Tan, and through this incident, the hatred deepened and the resentment increased.
Not to mention Togo, he knows some technical fur, which is better than Ji Conan and Shen Jinglai, Lao Tan takes special care of Ji Conan, which is a denial of Togo, and Togo will not easily forget this matter. Togo has always had a prejudice against him and does not accept his advantages as a local, and Togo always thinks he is right.
After they separated from Lao Tan, they went home separately.
In the evening, Ji Conan received a call from Miss Liu, one of the heads of the unit, asking if she had moved to the village.
Ji Conan said not yet, she asked, "Why haven't you moved yet?" β
Ji Conan said: "Mr. Jia of the county branch will not let me, but I can ask Mr. Jia's opinion again tomorrow." β
Closing the phone, Ji Conan immediately guessed that it must be Togo's informant. In other words, Miss Liu had already contacted Togo before contacting Ji Conan, and after getting the relevant information, she would ask Ji Conan to verify. Similarly, sometimes, ask Conan Ji first, and then ask Togo or Shen Jing. The three of them are equal, hinder each other, and are responsible to the person in charge, which is convenient for management. This set should have been learned by the fat girl Feng Feifei.
In this case, in the first time, you must communicate with them, even if one or two of them already know the information, you must pretend not to know, you need to say it again, only in this way, can it be satisfied.
He delivered that message to them. Because of Lao Tan's ticket buying just now, they were angry, reacted coldly to this matter, and did not show any opinions. Angry, dinner still has to be eaten. This move proves that Lao Tan has promoted Ji Conan and belittled Togo and Shen Jing. It was this differential treatment that made Ji Conan ride to the wall, and both sides were embarrassed. Actually, there isn't much of a feud, it's all about work. If there is no personal vendetta, why make a feud?
Ji Conan was about to prepare dinner, but Shen Jing stopped him and said, "I'll go, you won't." β
"Okay, thank you then." Ji Conan said.
Togo didn't speak, I don't know if he was tired, but Ji Conan guessed that it was not, it should be angry in his stomach. He didn't speak, just shook his hand-cranked radio and listened to the show.
After dinner, Togo didn't say a word, he went to wash the dishes, Ji Conan didn't know that he would move so fast, this thing was not easy to rob, for fear of affecting Togo's enthusiasm, or making him misunderstand that Togo was not clean, just like that, the three of them dealt with a dinner.
Before washing their feet and going to bed, there was still time for the three of them to study together, and Ji Conan consulted again about this matter.
Togo spoke, and he said, "Since the county branch only recognizes you, you can contact you." We don't want to go, oh yes, it's not us, it's me who doesn't want to, I don't know if Shen Jing wants to go. β
"You said yours, why did you pull me?" Shen Jing said.
"Shen Jing, what do you say?" Ji Conan asked.
"I don't know. You can do whatever you want. I don't have much experience. Shen Jing said.
"You see if this will work. Let's go to the branch tomorrow and talk to Mr. Jia, for the convenience of work, temporarily live in the village to supervise the project and deal with emergencies. Jiangbei, back and forth to rely on the boat, it is not easy to come and go once, it is not easy to supervise the project, worried that the village will be fooled and the materials will be wasted. The project was not completed well, and there was no way to explain it to the unit. This is the first project in Guizhou County, don't mess it up, otherwise it will affect new projects in the future. Ji Conan said.
"Okay, okay, that's it. You go and say. Togo and Shen Jing said in unison.
"I'll go and say, of course it's no problem, I hope everyone will go together and give me courage." Ji Conan said.
"Is there anything else you're afraid of?" Shen Jing said.
"I'm a mortal, and I'm not a superman, so I'm not afraid. I'm also an ordinary person, why don't I be afraid of the head snake? Ji Conan said.
"Okay, you still know that you are an ordinary person?" Shen Jing said with a smile.
"How did I not know?" Ji Conan said.
"It's good to know, today Lao Tan bought you a ticket, but didn't buy it for us, the meaning is very clear, he is rejecting us, and he is promoting you, do you know?" Shen Jing said.
"Really? You're very careful, I don't think. Ji Conan said.
Ji Conan thought to himself, in fact, he was very proud in his heart, this feeling was real and beautiful! This shows that Lao Tan values him very much, distinguishes him from the two of them, and gives him a sense of superiority, isn't he old and proud in his heart? But he still has to pretend to be very innocent on his face, pretend to be modest, isn't it good to pretend that? lest they mess with him in front of the person in charge of the unit, beat him for his small report, and complain about him. Since it was agreed in the evening, they washed and slept separately, and there was nothing to say for the night. Ji Conan felt the atmosphere of battle from the small three.
Early the next morning, they went to the office building of the county branch, and just when Mr. Jia was there, Ji Conan plucked up the courage to tell him what he was going to say last night. After listening to this, Mr. Jia thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "It is said that your request is not too much, but ......"
Ji Conan's heart almost rose to his throat, and his heart beat a drum. He took a sip of tea and continued, "You can't do anything outside of the project in the village. In principle, you can, but you must closely control the progress of the project and cooperate with Lao Tan to implement the project well, I hope you will not let us down. I hope you understand what I'm saying. Don't pretend to be confused. If you don't cooperate well, it won't be a trivial matter if you have problems in the future. β
When Ji Conan heard it, he agreed, and said again and again: "Okay, okay." Mr. Jia strategized and won thousands of miles, and used the right people, we cooperated with Lao Tan, which was very pleasant and smooth. β
Director Jia took another sip of tea, paused, as if swallowing tea, grunted, and then said: "That's it, I sent all my right-hand men, carefully selected, I feel that Lao Tan has rich work experience, and the first cooperation project will be a hit, and you can't give up halfway." Lao Tan is dispatched to cooperate with you, and our company also plans to stop building buildings for the time being, and when Lao Tan is busy with the project in the village, he will come back to concentrate on self-built projects. Oh, by the way, when it comes to living in a project site and working conveniently, I don't think you're fools. Then, the two villages in Jiangbei should have a place to live, preferably between Ping Village and Quan Village. The Hecun village in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively close to the county seat, even if you don't live in the village, it is very convenient to take a car every day. β
As soon as he said this, Ji Conan completely understood, and thought to himself, it turned out that only one of the three villages was allowed to live, and it seemed that they were still wary of them, for fear that they would cause trouble for them and make it difficult to deal with them. He thought that this must have been given instructions by the leaders from the province, and they were just carrying out the orders. One is better than no one. He looked at Togo and Shen Jing, neither of them objected, and the matter was passed.
They originally wanted to go to Hecun today, but because of this incident, they were delayed, and it happened that Lao Tan was going to have a meeting today, and he couldn't go, so he postponed it by a day and put it tomorrow.
The three of them greeted the various departments of the county branch, left the office, and walked back to the dormitory.
After arriving at the dormitory, Ji Conan reported the situation to Miss Liu, the person in charge of the unit, and Miss Liu was very happy and said, "It was done very well and very wisely. Ethnic minority areas are generally closed and not easily open to the outside world, and it is a great grace for us to be able to do projects, which can benefit the people in the mountainous areas, which is our work and our mission. β
Then, Ji Conan said: "We are going to go and look for a house first, rent it after we find it, and move to the village later." β
Miss Liu had no opinion, and said some comforting words, such as hard work, thank you, etc., a bunch of clichΓ©s, pretending to be first-class. I may regret yesterday's aggressiveness, but today I made a 180-degree turn, and the wind was completely wrong. It's hard to find the north.
Ji Conan could only listen patiently, and then said: "It's not hard, it's okay, it should be, it should be, thank you Miss Liu for reminding me." Ji Conan said these nonsense and empty words, and he also felt a little empty, what's wrong? It's really going to burrow with mice. Follow Ultraman to fight monsters.
The three of them were happy to have won the right to stay in the village, and Ms. Liu expressed her appreciation for their ability to work. That is to say, during the probationary period, even if this goal can be achieved, even if it is successful, the three of them may be able to successfully turn into regulars, as long as there are no major mistakes in the future, or the nerves of the person in charge of the unit are not wrong, this is not their problem. In fact, the frequent occurrence of the leader's head on the wrong fire is indeed something they did not expect.
After dinner in the evening, everyone was together and drank the rice wine brewed by Shen Jing, it was very delicious, I really didn't think that Shen Jing still had this hand? Coarse and fine, let them drink fine wine. Everyone had a good time, and then they read. Togo reads in a low tone, very beautiful, but he can't understand it, and when he speaks Mandarin, it's really extraordinary. It made him and Shen Jing laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
It's all over the place, sleep soundly at night, and occasionally think about Shen Jing, what would happen if the two of them were in the same room? That's just horrible. immediately thought of this, and Ji Conan immediately dispelled the idea. It is not right to think in this way, and it has already constituted a crime morally. So, in a daze, he fell asleep again.
They and Lao Tan originally wanted to go to Hecun, but Lao Tan of Hecun was not at home when he had something to do, so it was inconvenient for them to go, and they did not accompany them, so they changed their minds and went to Quancun to see if the contract for the water cellar puzzle there was printed.
When I arrived at Quancun, there was a family at the entrance of the village, and there was a person sitting at the door, without legs, sitting on a chair and weaving bamboo utensils. When he saw them, he greeted them warmly and invited them to his house for a seat. When they saw that he did not seem to be polite, but that he was indeed a little tired, they agreed to sit down, and he asked his wife to bring them chairs, and then made them tea. They chatted over tea.
He is a door-to-door son-in-law. Now there are three people living in this house, he, his wife, and his father-in-law.
His father-in-law was melancholy and melancholy, and he could not see any happiness, while his wife had no expression, and he himself had many words. He claimed to be an old high school student in Izumi Village. His experience can be written into a novel, or made into a movie, a TV series, in short, a good subject. However, he is not a glorious image, he is just an ordinary farmer, who has a lot of experience outside and can speak well.
He turned out to be sound, in an accident, lost both legs, became a half-cut person, however, he is not painful, nor regretful, he is very satisfied with his current life, also do farm work, but also busy with livelihood, such as doing some handicrafts, weaving some bamboo, playing some straw sandals, making some palm broomsticks, are his specialty work, the old man is no longer willing, but also admires his ability as a half-cut son-in-law, all day long laughing, hands are not idle all day long, trying to do some side business, do good things to sell for money, subsidize the family. He looks like this, he won't go out to gamble, but only in and out, he still saved some money, his woman is okay, although he doesn't want to, but he also accepts his fate, who told him to kill a bad star halfway, so that her husband became disabled, although disabled, but not disabled, in short, is still an optimistic person with mental health.
"I have limited mobility. I rely on my wife for help, and my father-in-law also supports me in my side hustle. He said.
This person is really good at talking, coaxing people to death without paying for their lives, and praising his family in front of outsiders, which is something that ordinary Chinese men can't do, or are ashamed to talk about. Only this disabled person is so bold in saying it.
This person is psychologically healthy, not inferior due to physical or physical defects, but cherishes life, makes full use of time, and uses his own hands to increase wealth, although he is disabled, there are many inconveniences, but a positive attitude can cheer him up and give full play to his potential to the limit, for his family, it is not a burden, but a wealth. Coupled with the fact that he has a brilliant mind and a mouth that can speak, he is worth learning from a healthy person no matter what. His father-in-law was busy and talked to him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to do more things and talk less.
He is very capable, even if he is disabled, it does not affect his earnings. He has brains and a pair of hard-working hands, so he doesn't have to worry about having no money to make.
They were just about to leave, and he said something as if someone had suddenly revealed his privacy, which made them feel embarrassed.
