Officer Li stretched out his hand, took Yin Xianren's hand, and said, "You have worked hard!" Come to us, don't you get used to it? The people here are simple, everyone is kind, you don't look at the mountains and roads, everyone gets along in harmony, the atmosphere is harmonious here, the scenery is pleasant, and it is suitable for human habitation. Yoon Hyun Ren nodded and smiled, his nose kept humming, which was obviously coping, or perfunctory.

He rarely does farm work, only likes to drink and smoke, and the work at home is basically taken care of by his wife, who is outside the home, working with peace of mind, and his wife is at home, cooking, laundry, farming, and taking care of grandchildren.

He has two sons, in the countryside, there are more than two sons in the family, or respected, if only a girl is born, this family will be looked down upon, feel that it is cut off from grandchildren, the most serious view, only a daughter is equal to never have a child, because a girl was born, grew up to marry, married someone else, with someone else's surname, then troublesome, so it is generally believed that daughters are not heirlooms, only sons are, even the poorest people, as long as there are sons, there is hope, the family that gives birth to a girl is a family with a mountain of gold, It is not necessarily your own, at least to marry.

The eldest son of Mr. Li's family works in the local forestry department, gets married and has children in the local area, and the public institution guarantees income during drought and flood, so there is no livelihood problem, so there is no need to go out to work.

The second child is a soldier outside the home and is currently studying in a military school.

"We want to take a look at the water source in Jiajiapo, do you have time?" Conan asked.

"No, I'm going to inform the five guarantee households what kind of faucets they need and register." Officer Li said that he immediately refused.

Conan knew that he would not go, he knew that Director Li would not go, he had a set of words and another account in his heart, if he went, Yin Xianren would definitely suspect him, because, as soon as he went, the villagers would give him baijiu as usual, and he drank baijiu, just like drinking boiled water, after drinking, he would talk a lot, and if he talked too much, he would not reach the meaning, or the words were too rich, and the words he said exceeded the original meaning, and it was easy to make mistakes, and it was the smartest not to go, and it would seem stupid to go. For Yin Xianren, who came to the village for the first time, Officer Li still needs time to observe, and then attack after finding Yin Xianren's weakness, so that he can have a chance of winning.

Conan looked at Yoon Hyun-in, he was a little breathless and anxious to leave. Conan said to him, "Let's go, let's see, follow this path, and we will get there." ”

Follow the road down, then along the path, and start up the mountain.

There is a farmhouse on the side of the road, with no courtyard wall or gate, and it walks along the edge of the courtyard and up the hillside.

The first part of the road they walked was located in the territory of Lijialiangzi, and after walking for about 20 minutes, they entered Jiajiapo.

Most of the surnames of the Li family Liangzi are Li, and similarly, most of the surnames of Jia Jiapo are Jia, and there are also miscellaneous surnames, but unfortunately there is no power.

A family passing by in Conan, surnamed Wang, moved from the forest area to settle down, just a dwarf, there are no mountains and forests, no land, and even walking has to borrow the road, which is repaired at people's expense, and you need to negotiate with others to take other people's roads.

This family is weak, and they can only be a man with their tails between their legs in the village.

Many immigrants from the Three Gorges Reservoir area have returned to the plains, and some of them have secretly returned to their hometowns, and they are not used to living on flat land, preferring to return to their original places at the risk of not having a hukou, and they are accustomed to the mountains and rivers and fresh air, as well as the family affection and human flavor of the villagers, and it takes a long time to adapt to strange places and strange people.

Conan saw what the villagers called the school. There were only four square rooms, no tiles, a cast-in-place concrete roof, no glass from the windows, and a few pieces of broken glass, hanging from wooden frames, grinning at people. The playground is overgrown with weeds, there is a small square platform, and it can be seen that it is a place for flag-raising, but unfortunately there is no flagpole, only a nest where the flagpole was once buried.

There are no desks or chairs in the classroom, only blackboards with paint peeling. The scene of weeds and bud poles piled up in the classroom, an abandoned elementary school, devastated and desolate, Conan believes is a portrayal of people walking to higher places and water flowing lower. Many villagers put their children in schools with good conditions, and some went out to work, so they took their children with them and went to school in the work area. The level of education at the bottom of the mountain is considered to be higher than that at the mountain. There is no basis for this, it may be a false rumor, or it may be a blind spot in understanding.

Speaking of this, Yin Xianren sighed and sighed that there were also "black-hearted people" in the depths of the mountain. Conan said, "Where there are people, there is sin!" Yoon Hyun-in gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right! ”

"Conan, why are you not familiar with the road, did you wait for me to come to the village group?" Yin Xianren said.

"Where, where! I usually walk from the main road and rarely take the small road. I have walked this path once or twice, and I am not very familiar with it. For you, because you came, there is little mountaineering, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk well, and I will not be able to go far. Conan said.

Yoon Hyun-in sneered a few times and said, "Oh, is it? Thank you so much. ”

Conan thought to himself, it's bad, this person was specially sent by the person in charge, the purpose is obvious, it is to supervise and inspect Conan's work in the village, but what he said is very good, what to say to learn, to learn from experience, to return to the state, in order to carry out new projects, lay the foundation, the purpose is very simple, is to investigate Conan, to see if he has any problems. If there is a problem, it is necessary to give a bad evaluation, deduct salary, and be fined during the year-end evaluation.

After that, be careful when you speak, don't go through your brain, say anything, you put your heart into him, maybe in the future you will use this as a weapon of attack, so that people will die without a place to be buried. As the saying goes, "the heart of defense is indispensable", it seems to be true.

Yin Xianren proposed to rest for a while, Conan has no opinion, who made Yin Xianren older.

On the loess, I saw some bluestone exposed outside, and after being washed by the rain, it looked clean. Yoon Hyun-in found a stone to sit down, and Conan also found one, sat down to gasp, wipe his sweat, and gossip. The sound of frogs was heard in the distance, there was water in Jiajiapo, and the southerners loved to eat rice, so they opened up paddy fields that could be used to grow some rice.

The terraced fields on the hillside, planted with rice, are rich in layers, level by level, and have a strong sense of three-dimensionality.

If you can draw, it will definitely be beautiful. Conan liked to read villain books since he was a child, but he never learned to draw seriously. I can only remember this beautiful scenery in my mind. There is a camera, because after taking it, it has to be taken to the photo studio to wash it out, which is too troublesome. Besides, Yin Xianren is next to him, and if Conan takes a picture of the scene, Yin Xianren may have to tell the whistleblower. After thinking about it, Conan couldn't help but take out the camera.

After resting for a while, the two continued to climb. When he saw a wider dirt road in the village, Conan said to Yin Xianren: "This is the main road in the village, I often walk from the main road, it is not effortless, but it takes more time." Yoon Hyun-in nodded.

Up and down the roadside, there are some peasant households, relatively concentrated, and the water pipes pass by the hillside behind the house, Conan said: "The water pipe trough has not been excavated yet, because the crops have not yet been harvested, and if you have to dig at this time, the conditions are not yet ripe." Destroying other people's seedlings is to be compensated. We don't have this money in our budget. Only by doing their ideological work did the villagers support it. ”

"These farmers in the middle are not beneficiaries, they have made their own simple pools, and this time they do not benefit, which is also a hidden danger. Because, the farmers of the Li family need water, and the water pipe must pass through them. Conan continued.

"It's just that the funds are too limited, and there is no budget to help them solve the draft problem, since they don't benefit, I'm afraid they won't support water conservancy projects, it's not good to bury water pipes, and they won't let the farmers in Li Jialiangzi eat tap water." Yin Xianren said.

"That's right. I'm worried about this issue as well. If not, this project will fail. Conan said.

"Go for it, work hard for the better." Yin Xianren said.

When they came to the water source pool, they saw that there were three water cellars, but only one of them had water above it, and the other two cellars had no water. It's weird. There was a water cellar, the water had overflowed, and it flowed into the ditch next to it, and the water and grass were lush next to the ditch, and a black snake crawled through the ditch and quickly burrowed into the potato seedlings next to it.

"This water cellar was built with the assistance of the Late Autumn Township Water Plant. A person from this village is an assistant of the county branch, I heard that it is a relative of Mr. Wan, Mr. Wan is more popular, arranged for him to take the selection examination, was admitted, and wanted to work in the company. After all, he is from this village, and his parents still live in Liangzi, Li's family, and it is difficult to draft. They diverted the water from here to a pool on the hillside behind Mr. Li's house, and through the water pipe, the water was drawn to every household, including the old house of Jia's assistant's parents. Conan said.

"So, the Li family also has the surname Jia?" Yoon Hyun-in asked.

"Yes. We asked the water conservancy service center to withdraw the project from the village, otherwise it would not enter the village to implement the project. At that time, I thought that they were doing things differently from what our unit did, and we had to do better than them. If they don't withdraw the project, we will be mixed with them again, so that the people will be confused, and they will not recognize our work. There is no way to account for donors. Conan said.

At this time, Conan's phone rang, and as soon as he answered it, the microphone said, "May I ask if you are Mr. Ji from the Mars Foundation?" Conan said, "Yes." ”

"I want to meet you, I don't know if it's convenient." He continued.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Conan said.

"I'm in the village now, at Director Li's house, you wait, I'll ask him to come and tell you." He said.

Director Li said in the microphone: "Mr. Ji, please come to my house, there is something important." ”

Conan is still inseparable from Secretary Li, the management committee elected by the masses exists in name only, and Jia Mingzhu is like mud, and he can't stick to the wall at all. No, the project is not over yet, it can't be said, for the interests of the masses, in order to let the villagers eat tap water, I can only go and talk about it.

"Brother Yin, I think it's better to go and have a look. You tell me? Conan turned his head and said to Yoon Hyun-in.

Yin Xianren said: "Okay! Let's see what's going on, and by the way, let's see how the pool is built. ”

"Alright then, let's go." Conan said that the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

They walked for about half an hour on the road to Li Guanguan's house, and the residents of Jiajiapo and the higher up the mountain had to take this road. A road connects Li Jialiangzi and Jia Jiapo, and if it weren't for this, there would be nothing in this village that could connect the families.

Above and below the road are households, and above and below them are cultivated land and mountain forests. Steep and dangerous, there are mountains and forests; The terrain is gentle, and it is basically reclaimed as arable land, and every inch of land is valuable, and even the surrounding stones are planted with scattered crops. What a needle!

When I arrived at Director Li's house, I saw a white and chubby gentleman sitting in the main room of the hall, dressed more elegantly, it seemed that he was a businessman or a politician, and he attached great importance to the appearance of dressing and grooming, Conan suspected that he was using a mask, or else, he looked like he was in his 50s, but he looked like he was in his 30s.

When the "white-faced local tyrant" saw the two of them, he immediately stood up, and Director Li made an introduction, saying: "This is Mr. Ning Leining from Chuyang." He came to talk to them about the plumbing. ”

"This is a procurement negotiation that requires the participation of the members of the management committee who are responsible for procurement." Conan said.

Director Li said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." As he spoke, he dialed Jia Mingzhu and Li Huafa's phone. Not long after, Jia and Li hurriedly came, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked, "What is the important matter, Director Li?" ”

"Now that the pool has been completed, the next step is to install the water pipe, but the water pipe has not been bought yet, today, Boss Ning came from afar, just to talk to you about this matter." Officer Li said.

Jia Mingzhu turned his head and wanted to leave, he said: "I said what is the matter, it turns out that this is the matter, I know, you will buy it if you like it, I have no opinion, if it's okay, I'll go first, my wife is still on the slope, waiting for me to do something." Jia Mingzhu was completely heartbroken, feeling that doing this kind of thing was thankless, and choosing him as the director of the management committee was not as effective as Secretary Li's words, and when he returned home, he was also beaten by his wife, and felt that he couldn't do anything. He suffered from the conspiracy of Director Li, and he couldn't tell the bitterness. Although Director Li is an officer, he is not as high-level as the director of the management committee, but the current situation has been reversed, and the influence of Director Li has overshadowed Jia Mingzhu.

"Don't rush to leave. I'm done talking about it, and then you can go. Officer Li said.

"According to the procurement system of the management committee, the purchase of water pipes must be carried out by the person in charge of procurement among the members, and you are responsible for procurement, and you are the best candidate. The number of water pipes bought is large, which is not a trivial matter. At least more than half of the 2 million yuan water conservancy project is the purchase of water pipes. This is a big deal and cannot be ignored. If the water pipes are not good, it will be impossible to get water, and everyone's hard work will be in vain. At critical moments, everyone still needs to make sacrifices. Officer Li said.

"In that case, let's talk." Jia Mingzhu said.
