Chapter 20: Trouble is yet to come

On the second day of the second lunar month, the weather was sunny and sunny. Since the Spring Festival, there have been many good weathers, but there has not been a day more than today.

Today is definitely a good day, and the road repair work in Fengjiao has officially started.

More than 600 people were all lined up and gathered in the designated place. There are technicians from the Transportation Bureau, all the comrades of the Fengjiao Working Group, and more of them are laborers from various villages.

The day before yesterday, more than 80 people took the lead in Birch Back Village, but the technicians were not in place that day, and they didn't know how to do the work. Today, when we arrived at the designated place at the appointed time, the total number of laborers from each village had reached 500.

In front of the neat line, six construction machines were parked, including two forklifts, two hook machines, and two dump trucks. All six machines are covered with big red flowers, firecrackers are hung on the shovel arms and hook buckets, and firecrackers are also placed on the ground in front of the machinery.

Ge Yuqing and Li Guanglei stood at the bend of the highway, looking in the direction of the incoming car from the county seat.

"It's coming, it's coming." Ge Yuqing beckoned and returned to the queue with Li Guanglei.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A white off-road vehicle, wrapped in dust, drove from far and near, and stopped a short distance from the queue.

Ge Yuqing walked quickly in front of the car, opened the car door, and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome to Director Yu to inspect and guide the work!" ”

A middle-aged man stepped out of the car, and it was Yu Dajiang, the director of the county transportation bureau. Yu Dajiang smiled and said: "Lao Ge, don't come to this set, I'm most afraid of hearing you lie, it's not a good thing to designate." ”

"Director Yu, what is this called? With 12 points of enthusiasm, we welcome you, a big leader, how can it be a lie? It's all from the bottom of my heart. Speaking of this, Ge Yuqing lowered his voice, "The working group does things for the bureau, and the bureau supports it, this is originally mutual help and mutual benefit, how can you say that it is not a good thing?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't drag me around." Yu Dajiang waved his hand, looked around, and asked, "Didn't anyone from the town come?" ”

"What, Director Yu, think we don't have enough specifications?" Ge Yuqing replied to the question.

"You ......" Halfway through the words, Yu Dajiang poked his head over and lowered his voice, "Lao Ge, I'm reminding you, don't let people find fault with it, that will be bad for you and the road construction work." ”

Ge Yuqing smiled: "Now that I have just started to do it, I won't trouble the town leaders, and I won't have to worry about the leaders coming or not." When the project is completed and opened to traffic, they will be invited to come, and everyone will also smear some powder. ”

Yu Dajiang pointed at the other party: "You, you." ”

In fact, both sides of the dialogue knew that it was not Ge Yuqing's reason at all, the main reason was that he trusted himself and did not want to treat those people in the town as leaders.

"That's right." Ge Yuqing pointed at Li Guanglei, "Director Yu, this is Comrade Li Guanglei, deputy mayor of Yu Hanlin Town, and also the deputy leader of the working group, and these hundreds of people were mobilized by him." ”

Yu Dajiang stretched out his hand: "Really?" Amazing, amazing. ”

Li Guanglei hurriedly shook hands with the other party and greeted each other, and then went to the front of the team together.

Under the organization of a special person, the people in line clapped neatly and warmly in time.

When the applause stopped, Ge Yuqing said loudly: "Today is the second dragon in February, it is a day when the dragon wants to fly to the sky, representing prosperity and hard work, and we officially start the road repair project on this beautiful day." Due to the tight time, heavy tasks and small funds, our launching ceremony was very simple, and many leaders were not alarmed, but Director Yu of the County Transportation Bureau still came to the scene in his busy schedule. This highway project must be inseparable from the transportation bureau ......"

After Ge Yuqing's enthusiastic opening remarks for a few minutes, Yu Dajiang spoke again. Yu Dajiang's speech was very simple, mainly affirming this spirit and praising people's attitude and consciousness.

After the brief speech, with Ge Yuqing's "start work", firecrackers suddenly rang out, machinery roared, and the scene entered the real work mode.

After turning around the scene, Yu Dajiang pointed to the continuous labor site and said: "Lao Ge, to be honest, I really don't believe that so many volunteer laborers have been summoned in a short period of time. But after reading it, I know that they are definitely good at working in the village, not what you are looking for. Especially listening to people's enthusiasm and dedication, I was even more moved, not easy, not simple. ”

"Director Yu, we can't look at people with old eyes, let alone belittle our enthusiasm and ability. A few days ago, there were not many people, but after Team Leader Li did the work, it ignited people's passion all of a sudden, as long as they are willing to work hard, everything is not a problem. Speaking of this, Ge Yuqing changed the topic, "Director Yu, we are enthusiastic, but we need your strong support." You have a lot of money, and you ...... pluck your hairs."

"Gotta get it, don't do it as soon as we meet." Yu Dajiang waved his hand again and again, and then turned to Li Guanglei, "Team Leader Li is really young and promising, and it is really not easy to mobilize so many people at once." It's just that I'm curious, what kind of tricks did Team Leader Li use to make people volunteer to work? ”

"The main reason is that Team Leader Ge is well led, and Director Birch Back Chang has a high consciousness and has taken a good lead, and he can't do without your support." Li Guanglei said with a smile.

It seems to be easy to say, but Li Guanglei secretly said in his heart: Catch the medicine according to the prescription, and lose one.

Naturally, he didn't fully believe Li Guanglei's words, but Yu Dajiang still praised him. Li Guanglei also learned from Ge Yuqing and flattered the director.

Chang Youli was not far from everyone, and when he heard Li Guanglei's praise for himself, he was secretly happy at the same time, but also distressed, just in order to mobilize these people, he made a lot of money. However, when I think of the future prospects, I am still full of infinite reverie, and I recall that incident in my mind.

On Wednesday last week, Chang Youli received a call from Li Guanglei, still urging him to ask about the road construction. At that time, Chang Youli still replied in an old-fashioned manner, saying that he wanted to contribute, but the villagers were not highly motivated. On the phone, Li Guanglei trained Chang Youli well, saying that Chang Youli was not interesting enough, and said that he should not look for him if he had something to do in the future.

Chang Youli felt helpless, but he also felt very sorry for Li Guanglei, so he went to the working group that night, thinking of explaining to Li Guanglei sincerely. But after knocking on the door several times, no one answered, even though the lights were on in the room. Chang Youli pushed it casually, and the door opened, so he walked in.

It was only when he entered the house that Chang Youli knew that Li Guanglei did not go out, but was making a phone call in the back room. It took a lot of effort to hear clearly that Li Guanglei was talking to a friend on the phone and telling a secret. After hearing this secret, Chang Youli's palms were sweaty and excited, so he didn't wait for Li Guanglei to come out, but immediately returned to the village.

After a night of thinking, Chang Youli personally spent money the next day, invited many people in the village to eat, and made some promises, hoping that everyone would contribute more to the construction of the road. Got the benefits and benefits, and it happened to be the slack season, and people organized all at once.

It was also under the guidance of Chang Youli that other villages quickly gathered manpower, resulting in a total labor force of more than 500 people. Strictly speaking, the role played by Chang Youli is huge, and it should be able to get the first credit in each village. But he was only secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that people would know the secret. In fact, in the past few days, some village cadres have asked him why he was so active all of a sudden, but he coped with high-sounding clichΓ©s, and did not dare to mention a few words about it. As a result, the more mysterious Chang Youli is, the more confused the village cadres become, so they can only follow Chang Youli's example.

After staying at the scene and talking, Yu Dajiang politely declined Ge Yuqing's invitation to lunch on the grounds of "saving money to do business" and returned to the county seat by car.

As soon as Yu Dajiang left, Ge Yuqing called Li Guanglei to the car, first praised Li Guanglei, and then quietly asked: "Guanglei, it is really not easy to mobilize so many people at once." But I do wonder, how do you do it? ”

"Move with affection, know with reason." Li Guanglei said lightly, and repeated the reasons he had said before.

"Really?" Ge Yuqing obviously didn't believe it.

"Can it still be cooked?" After laughing, Li Guanglei suddenly said, "Team leader, what do you think about this." ”

After a little hesitation, Ge Yuqing said: "This matter has been under construction in less than 100 days from the beginning of the idea, and it is indeed not easy to have so many people and all kinds of support from the Transportation Bureau." This is all due to everyone, and you are even more indispensable. ”

Li Guanglei waved his hand: "It's not time to talk about credit at all, but to think about the next trouble, and the trouble is still to come." ”

Ge Yuqing's expression was also serious: "Yes, for us, this project is very huge, and there will definitely be many difficulties in the future." However, then again, things are man-made, and people will win the day, don't we also start a lively start now? ”

"Having faith is a good thing and a must, but it is also necessary to be rational and objective. Now we are moving, and it looks very lively, but the hidden dangers are obvious, and difficulties are everywhere. Now the construction can be started, one is the manpower and equipment support of the Transportation Bureau, and the other is the selfless dedication of the village. In addition to these two points, we can say that there is nothing, the main thing is that there is no money. Now it is only a cushion, there is ready-made equipment from the Transportation Bureau, the cost of stone is very low, and there are so many voluntary laborers. But once it arrives, it is a project that requires money, especially cement, and it is absolutely impossible to do without money. Li Guanglei said very solemnly.

Ge Yuqing sighed: "I'm thinking about what you said, and I'm also thinking of a way, but there will be a period of time until then, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, as long as it's done in full swing now." ”

Li Guanglei shook his head: "Team leader, with all due respect, the current boom is not stable. Let's talk about the villagers first, now they are doing their obligations in vain, and this time cannot be very long. In ten days, the solar calendar will enter April, and the villagers' preparation for farming will begin, and it is impossible to say how many people will come at that time. Then let's talk about the Transportation Bureau, Director Yu and you are classmates, and the drawings, personnel, equipment and fuel are all supported, but after all, he is a unit resource, and there may be changes at any time. Finally, let's talk about funds, not to mention large expenses, let's talk about everyone's lunch and dinner money, carriage and horse expenses, and stone money, how long can our little funds last? ”

was full of enthusiasm just now, and after Li Guanglei said this, Ge Yuqing couldn't help but feel melancholy, and at the same time understood why Li Guanglei was worried in the past two days.

As Li Guanglei said, it wasn't long before trouble came.
