Chapter 157: Intricate
If it weren't for the good connections of Director Li in Hupo Village, Officer Li would not be able to sit firmly in his position, and would be replaced by others, although the director is nothing in the management committee, he is responsible for the drinking water project, mainly running errands, and after the drinking water project is over, he can do other projects, and with experience, he will be competent for new work.
For Jia Mingzhu, director of the management committee, his flexibility is not enough, and the ability to adjust the direction is poor, but he is stubborn by nature, and more upright, as the saying goes, some two, but he still represents the interests of some villagers, and everyone still publicly elected him as the director of the drinking water project management committee.
In this way, upright people are not suitable to be the person in charge, but people like Director Li and Officer Jia of Hupo Village are suitable for playing tricks, even in the poor countryside, they have to play all kinds of tricks.
Jia Mingzhu is far less cunning than them in this regard, this is the final result of Geng Zhiren, who is not reused, only used. After using it, where it is cool, stay there and wait for the next time to use it, or never use it.
At noon, there is hot pot and a few seasonal vegetables, all of which are relatively fresh. The meat is bacon, and they don't like to eat fresh meat, because it smells fishy and not delicious. When you are used to eating bacon, the new meat will be aside. People in the city love fresh meat, not bacon, salty, or worried. Experts said that bacon should not be eaten all year round, otherwise it is easy to get cancer. People who read television, newspapers and magazines, were influenced and promoted, and as a result, made a splash for meat sellers, who liked the experts too much.
Conan observed that most of the villagers here did not like the speeches of the experts on television, and it was great that in the middle of the TV series, there were TV commercials, some celebrity endorsements, or some fake experts talking nonsense, and at this time, few people honestly stayed in front of the TV to watch their nonsense, but took the opportunity to go to the toilet, or feed the pigs, or do other chores, in short, deliberately avoiding the advertisements of the irritable people.
When it comes to newspapers, magazines, and books, there are almost none, and even if you order magazines and newspapers, which postman wants to deliver them? The mountains are sparsely populated, it is inconvenient to walk, you have to pay for a car, you have to buy oil to drive, the price of oil is high, no one is willing to do good deeds, there is, it is in the city, there are few in the mountains. Conan is talking about the good people who deliver newspapers and magazines. Those people come and go in the wind and rain, decades are like a day, this work is boring and boring, but they enjoy it. Many people have been engaged in an industry for decades, and the industry has been made prosperous, tasteful, and makes people feel that their professionalism is strong, and Ji Conan also hopes to do charity to the end, as long as the conditions permit, he will work hard to do it, stick to it, and see what the result will be.
Speaking of books, there is only an old-fashioned Xinhua bookstore in the county town, and there is one shop after another in the county, selling everything, but there is no bookstore. When ordinary people go to the city, they also buy clothes and food, and there are almost no books to buy, and some of them are those students who are required to buy designated teaching and auxiliary materials by teachers, or students who voluntarily buy extracurricular book mock questions to improve their academic performance, etc., and these students have become the consumer of books. As for the villagers, reading a book is tantamount to a joke and a luxury, or just watching the footage on TV. Reading books gradually left the scope of people's sight.
There are also things with words in the village, which are newspapers and periodicals sent to the village, in fact, those books and newspapers are piled up in the village project office, and Secretary Li of Hupo Village never reads them, hoping to collect the rags and sell them all. But Director Li of Hupo Village knows strategy very well, and every time he holds a project meeting, he talks about the truth, which has to make people wonder if he gets up in the middle of the night every day to read, and also reads those newspapers and magazines, in fact, he has a good memory, just watch TV news. As for newspapers and books, he claimed that he was too old to read clearly, and no one could do anything about him.
Jia Mingzhu They drank liquor and asked Conan what to drink, and Conan said, "Can you do things by drinking liquor?" ”
"You can do things by drinking liquor, but you are bored if you don't drink it." They said.
"I can't drink liquor, so let's have some beer with you." Conan said.
"Okay, refreshing, it should be. If you cheat in front of them, you don't have to do it in front of our people. Jia Mingzhu said.
"Am I faking?" Conan asked.
"Sometimes you have to do it, I know, you have disciplinary requirements, lest someone report it, or complain about you, you will be in trouble, you have to explain clearly, if you don't explain clearly, you will be punished, right?" Jia Mingzhu asked.
Conan smiled and said, "Where?" If you don't drink it, your body is not suitable, drinking it hurts your body, it's not good for your health, and now it's going to kill you, if you have money, you don't have money, you might as well have no money, keep your life, live longer, it's better than anything. Many people live and work hard to earn money, but they hate that there is not much money, and when they earn more money, they are not far from death. Having said that, you didn't mix in those scenes, you were really wronged, talent! ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "I don't want to enter those scenes." It's very simple, I have no one in the court, no one to promote, and no one to protect. Not greedy, okay? Who wants to worry about it? ”
Conan said, "Do you mean that there are many greedy people? ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "I can't catch a handful, there are too many, and there is no one who is not greedy for the powerful." Look at the greed for more and greed for less. ”
Conan said, "Don't talk nonsense, but this statement of yours is very interesting, very fresh, I have only heard of such a thing before, how do you know it?" Without evidence, you can't talk nonsense. It is not possible to spread falsehood. ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "I'll watch it." Judging from the TV, the more honest and honest those who look good, the more they can pretend, and the richer they are, and nine and a half out of ten of those money are unclean. Watch the TV series to know. There are also movies and other things, there are some actors, who act really well, and they bring those people to life. The acting skills are very high and admirable. ”
Conan said, "How so? ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "You are still too tender." I'm dying, I'm going to lie to you. ”
Conan said, "Thank you for the pointers." I can't be either, and sometimes I fantasize that I will be promoted by the person in charge in the future, but now I see little hope. Leaders promote people who are related, or nepotistic, or those who will be in charge. ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "Yes, you will become more and more profound. This society is like this, you should know better than me, it's just that you don't say it, you are a learned person. I don't know, but I know that our Li Jialiangzi and Jia Jiapo are a small society, and many things are similar to the big society and the country. Where there are people, there is a dirty deal. The heart and nature of man are not good. ”
"Well said, come, drink! Drink well, eat well, and don't whine. Conan said.
Conan raised his glass and toasted to everyone, which was considered a return of the courtesy, lest people talk behind his back that he was not polite, no way, wine culture is like this.
Jia Mingzhu said: "Fortunately, you have used other people's donations to the real place, and there is no greed or misappropriation." It's really real, and I don't get any benefit from it. Your approach is commendable, it is good, and it is worth learning! The question you just asked, how can there be cement poles, right? ”
Conan said, "yes." Why didn't you run out? I see everywhere, is there still a place that is not used? ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "The cement pole was pulled into the village during the transformation of the rural power grid. At that time, the slogan was 'Eliminate kerosene lamps', and our village was within the scope of renovation. We got involved in this activity and helped replace the poles. The village asked for some more, and they were piled up on the side of the road. However, there are still many families in groups 7, 8 and 9 that have not been replaced, there is no labor force in the high mountains, and they cannot walk cars, and telephone poles have been piled up on the side of the road for many years. ”
"Then why don't you take it away?" Conan asked.
Jia Mingzhu said: "Who wants to? This kind of thing is thankless, and there is no oil and water to fish, and the telephone poles are too long, who can use them? If it could be used, it would have been gone a long time ago, this thing is not valuable, it can't be used to build a house, it's just for matchmaking. ”
Conan said, "That's too. What are the farmers in the mountains using? ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "Wooden poles. It has been treated with antiseptics. ”
Conan said, "No wonder there are so many wooden poles on the mountain, and I don't know what is going on, is this the end of it?" ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "No, what should I do?" Can you still eat the person responsible for this project? In their report, they said, 'All the things have been replaced, and there is not a single wooden pole in the village'. ”
Conan asked, "Why don't the villagers report the situation?" ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "It's useless, the letter reflecting the situation will come back intact in the end." The person being reported knows who reported it, and you say that this is not strange, it is really very evil. Whoever wants to come out will be hit first. In the 'special period', some people are judges of life and death, and they determine life and death with a pen, even if they don't die, they will be made crazy, who dares to provoke them?! ”
Conan knew in his heart who he was talking about, and immediately said, "Thank you for explaining to me. ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "This electric pole has been accepted, and we don't need money, we can use it." Put it on the side of the road, no one wants it, the thief doesn't even look at it, it's too high, you see, it's really useless. ”
Conan said, "Very good! Wisdom comes from the people. ”
Jia Mingzhu said: "The capping of this pool is related to our vital interests, otherwise, there are few positive ones. When it was time to pour concrete, I just had to inform them, and they rarely wanted to come. ”
After Conan finished eating, knowing that their preparations were finished, Conan asked, "So, when will you start pouring concrete?" I think it's almost ready. ”
"Tomorrow. In the afternoon, I went to inform the beneficiary households, a group of villagers, as long as they want to benefit from the big pool, they must come. Jia Mingzhu said.
Conan said, "Then I'll go back and let me know when you need a meeting." ”
Jia Mingzhu said, "Okay. ”
Conan returned to his house, drank beer, his stomach was a little swollen, went to the toilet, and when he came back, he began to sort out his work notes, and then made up the diary for the past two days.
The weather was still hot, he lay on the bed, blowing a small electric fan, he was too tired for the past two days, and soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
Conan was awakened by the roar of the motor of a large truck passing by, and when he opened his eyes, he thought of the dream he had just had, and he could clearly recall it.
He dreamed that he was sitting in Jiang Cheng's office, and everyone else was holding bills and asking him to sign, Conan asked them one by one to understand the origin and purpose of these bills, and then picked up a large pen and signed his name on it in a dashing manner.
Some colleagues were not very honest, Conan began to reprimand them, pointing out their mistakes, especially to Teacher Feng Feifei, and seriously criticized her, saying that she should not let his niece come to work in this unit, for her Qi Sina, have a good future in the future, and have a happy family, and persuade her to leave the unit and find a better unit, in order to seek a more comprehensive and healthy development.
He reprimanded Togo, saying that he should be expelled for rejecting dissidents, having no principles, being ambiguous in the relationship between men and women, and deceiving superiors and subordinates.
Just as he was about to write a dismissal notice, Conan was woken up by a large truck, and Conan laughed as he recalled.
Generally speaking, dreams are reversed, Conan will never sit in that position in his life, and he has no management talent and courage, it is better to keep to himself, not to dream of being an official, to do his own things in a down-to-earth manner, to do everything well, to be exquisite, and to make people impeccable. Make everyone else happy. Then, we should persist in our own study, be effective, not waste time, and not pursue political ideals.
When you wake up from a dream, it's often clear. What is valuable is that if you can insist on the best, you will strive to do better in the future.
When he was washing his face, Conan received a call from Officer Li of Hupo Village, he called from a landline, and the village would reimburse this expense, but it must be issued by the official telecommunications bureau. In fact, there is no need to reimburse, Jia Xinyi can also "honor" him a sum of money, which is enough to pay for the phone bills, including the mobile phone bill, and they do this just to cover up people's eyes.
Lao Li of Hupo Village called Conan on a landline and said: "Jia Mingzhu will pour the concrete covered by the pool tomorrow, and the villagers concerned have been notified. He couldn't find Mr. Ji's phone number for a while, so he entrusted me to tell you, for fear that you would worry. ”
Conan said, "Thank you, Mr. Lee, please thank him on my behalf, and if he still calls you, you can convey my gratitude." ”
Mr. Li said, "Mr. Ji is too polite. Okay, I'll let him know. ”
Conan hung up the phone, thinking to himself that tomorrow's things were all arranged, but he never saw where the sand and gravel were, only a pile of cement stacked there.
Conan called Officer Li, he thought that Lao Li of Hupo Village must still be near the phone, so he dialed his landline, and sure enough, someone answered on the other end of the phone, it was a woman's voice, asking, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Conan said: "I am Xiao Ji of the Mars Foundation, looking for Lao Li of Hupo Village. ”
The receiver of the phone came: "Lao Li, quick, Mr. Ji's phone, looking for you." ”
