Zhang Shouye's prestige in the village has always been there, and everyone who was still complaining about Qiao Xi for closing their plastic factory before went to clean the water tower obediently.

The water in the water tower was released, medicated, cleaned, disinfected, and cleaned under the guidance of two people from the Environmental Protection Bureau.

After all this, the water tower turned on the pump again, and the water in the reservoir was gradually full, and the EPA people checked the quality of the water again, because it had been polluted by the plastic factory for many years, and the water quality was somewhat poor, barely up to the standard of drinking water.

Chen Yang recorded all the data and said to Qiao Xi: "Secretary Qiao, you must remember not to let the villagers drink raw water anymore, and the water tower must also be cleaned every Monday, mainly to protect the environment here, and the water quality will be greatly improved." ”

Qiao Xi thanked the two people from the Environmental Protection Bureau again for sending them all the way to the entrance of the village, and watching them, the van disappeared.

Zhang Liang's factory was shut down, which caused a lot of sensation in the village, even if he knew that the children's diarrhea was related to the wastewater discharged from their factory, he did not find a theory.

Zhang Liang has done a lot of good things in the village over the years, and he keeps them all in his heart.

On the morning of the next day, Zhang Liang took the money to go to the town environmental protection bureau to pay the fine, Zhang Shouye went out and stopped him, handed him a bag of tea, "Give this bag of tea to Director Zhang of the Environmental Protection Bureau." ”

Without saying a word, he walked home with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Liang drove the van to the Environmental Protection Bureau, but Zhang Shouye was bored at home all morning and did not go to the neighborhood committee.

At noon, Qiao Xi knocked on the door and came over, carrying a plastic bag in her hand, which contained the pig's head meat she had just bought, as well as peanuts and a bottle of liquor.

"Old village chief, I'm here to eat, are you welcome?" Qiao Xi looked at Zhang Shouye with a smile on his face.

Zhang Shouye sat down in the courtyard in a sullen voice, smoked a cigarette pouch and pot, and didn't want to pay attention to Qiao Xi.

"Secretary Qiao, leave her alone, sit down." Zhang Shouye's wife came out of the kitchen next to him and handed over a maza in her hand.

Qiao Xi thanked him and handed the things he was holding to Zhang Shouye's wife.

"Secretary Qiao, if you come over for dinner in the future, you can come empty-handed." Zhang Shouye's wife wiped her hands with her apron and took the things over, with a gentle smile on her kind face all the time.

She also knew that her son Zhang Liang stopped the factory because of Qiao Xi, and not only had to go to the Environmental Protection Bureau to pay fines, but also had to pay liquidated damages for delayed orders, but she has always been very open, the family is safe, and the money is enough to spend.

In addition, she also learned that the children in the village had diarrhea a few days ago because of the wastewater in Zhang Liang's factory, she was also a little guilty, and scolded Zhang Liang fiercely last night.

"Old village chief, are you still angry with me?" Qiao Xi smiled and moved Ma Zha closer to Zhang Shouye.

"How dare I? Are you a resident cadre sent by the town? Zhang Shouye took a hard puff of his cigarette pouch and said no more.

The atmosphere was silent all of a sudden, Qiao Xi thought for a while and said: "Old village chief, I came here today not because of Zhang Liang's matter, but about the renovation of dilapidated houses in our village, this is almost autumn, and the town is almost about to allocate funds to poor households to repair their houses, I want to ask you if you have any candidates for this engineering team?" ”

There are 22 houses in the village that need to be renovated, and this is a big project, and it is necessary to find a reliable engineering team.

Zhang Shouye was smoking the cigarette pouch as always, his dark face did not have too much expression, seeing that the tobacco leaves were about to run out, he knocked the tobacco pouch pot on the ground, reloaded the tobacco, and continued to smoke.

His wife came out and set the table in the yard, brought out a plate of scrambled eggs and a plate of fried shredded pork with celery, and the remaining peanuts and pork head meat were brought by Qiao Xi, and the pork head meat was cut into pieces and cucumber slices were also served.

"Secretary Qiao, eat quickly, don't be cold." Zhang Shouye's wife handed Qiao Xi the chopsticks and glared at Zhang Shouye several times.

Zhang Shouye was silent for a while, picked up the liquor brought by Qiao Xi, looked at it a few times, and poured a little into the cup.

Qiao Xi smiled when she saw this.

Zhang Shouye took a sip, put another piece of pig's head meat in his mouth, chewed it a few times and looked up and said: "I think that the engineering team for the renovation of dilapidated houses should not go to the town to find it, and can directly let the people in the village form an engineering team, and they can use it at ease, and they can also solve part of the idle labor force." ”

Qiao Xi nodded slowly, "This is indeed feasible, but if you have found someone with experience as a dry mason, the renovation of dilapidated houses is to transform dilapidated houses, and the quality must be controlled." ”

Zhang Shouye heard that Qiao Xi agreed with his opinion, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, and he talked more, and recited the people in the village who knew how to work as masons to see who was suitable to join the engineering team.

Qiao Xi also got to know the people in the village, and then expressed his opinion, and it was most suitable to find someone who was honest and willing to work.

The atmosphere eased, Zhang Shouye also drank a little wine, the more he talked, the happier he became, and he also felt that his idea was good, the houses of the people in difficulty had been settled, and the restricted labor force could also have a place to play, the best of both worlds.

When Zhang Shouye opened his mouth again to talk to Qiao Xi, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang, he answered the call, and then his face changed.

"What did you say, Director Zhang? You sent Zhang Liang to the police station? ”

It was Director Zhang of the Town Environmental Protection Bureau who called Zhang Shouye, and he smiled bitterly, "Old village chief, don't say that, why did I send Zhang Liang to the police station." It was his birth that polluted the environment so badly that he needed to go to the police station to prepare the case. He himself admitted that some time ago, the child had diarrhea because of the wastewater in his factory, which has violated the law, and as for how the police station will characterize it, this is not something that our environmental protection bureau can control. ”

Zhang Shouye's brain boomed, sat on the ground, and hung up the phone in a daze.

Lin Qingwan hurriedly went to help Zhang Shouye, but was pushed aside by him.

Zhang Shouye jumped up, pointed at Qiao Xi and shouted: "Now that you are satisfied, Zhang Liang has been arrested by the police station, if this sentence is given, how can you let me Zhang Shouye live?" ”

Qiao Xi was shocked, "Zhang Liang was arrested by the police station?" ”

When Zhang Shouye's wife, who was still eating just now, heard this, the chopsticks in her hand fell on the table, glanced at Qiao Xi, got up from the table and walked into the back room heavily.

Zhang Shouye grabbed the eye bag pot on the table, pinned it to his waist, and pushed the bicycle out of the door.

Qiao Xi chased after him, "Old village chief, where are you going?" ”

"Where can I go? To see my son, of course? Zhang Shouye roared angrily, stepped on the bicycle and pedaled out.

"Be safe on your way." Qiao Xi became anxious, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and he stayed at the door for a long time.

The door behind her suddenly rang, and she turned her head to see Zhang Shouye's wife closing the door.

His son was arrested because of Qiao Xi, which is uncomfortable in anyone's heart, and this is no longer something that money can solve.

Qiao Xi was in a very bad mood, returned to the village committee and called Sun Honggang, secretary of the town party committee, and she told the ins and outs of the matter. In particular, Zhang Liang has done a lot of practical things for the village over the years, and he did not realize that the pollution of the environment in his factory was not his own consciousness, not subjective consciousness.

"Qiao Xi, don't blame yourself too much, we are a country with a legal system, and anyone who violates the law must be punished accordingly. I'll find out about this and tell you when there's news. ”

The news that Zhang Liang was arrested by the police station soon spread in the village, and everyone complained a little about Qiao Xi, and many people talked about it behind their backs.

Qiao Xi walked on the hillsides in the afternoon, and the chicken seedlings he bought some time ago had grown up, and the pheasants of every household were put on the mountain to raise.

She looked at the manure pulled here and there, and her brow couldn't help but furrow.

"Little Mom, is this your chicken?" Qiao Xi looked at the woman who was driving a few pheasants in front of her and walked over, "If you have time, clean up the chicken manure here as soon as possible, which can be used to fatten the cornfield." Staying in the mountains not only smells, but also pollutes the mountains here, and we can't pollute the environment because of chickens. ”

Xiaobao's mother suddenly snorted, pinched her waist and shouted, "If I don't clean up, you will also send me to the police station?" Secretary Qiao, your ability is getting bigger and bigger now, do you want to learn Bao Qingtian's iron-faced selflessness? Hmph, the mouse carries a gun, and it will only be in the nest! ”
