Jiang Xiaobai asked Jiang Shan to bake the fire in Luo Changsheng's office, and he followed him to Yin Shi's office.

The Coal Mining Bureau and the county government are in a compound, but they are not in the same house, and they need to walk through the outside yard.

While leaving, Jiang Xiaobai said: "Director Yin, go to your house at night, can you stop drinking so strong wine, I drank a piece again last night." ”

Before, he originally told Luo Changsheng that he would be at Li Gen's house tonight, so that he could refrain from Yin Shi's invitation, but after learning that not only Yin Shi had arranged it, but even Ma Ma had arranged it, he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he simply agreed.

Yin Shi laughed: "No problem, let's drink a softer wine tonight." ”

Jiang Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was cold and windy outside, and the two walked quickly, and it didn't take long to arrive.

In Yin Shi's office, the layout is similar to Luo Changsheng's, with a desk, a bookcase, and an indispensable coal stove.

By this time, the fire in the coal stove was already boiling brightly, and the water in the cooking pot above was boiling.

"Tucheng is like this, you can sit casually."

Yin Shi said politely, dragged a chair, let Jiang Xiaobai sit down next to the coal stove, and took two enamel jars to make tea.

After doing this, he took out a few forms for Jiang Xiaobai to fill in.

Jiang Xiaobai read it and filled it out quickly.

Yin Shi took it and said with a smile: "You have a good handwriting, it's a pity not to be a teacher." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

Yin Shi said: "I took these forms to help you get a certificate, and it will take a while for the license to come down." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." ”

He knew that in later generations, he needed to apply for many licenses to operate coal mines, including "Mining License", "Safety Production License", "Coal Production License", "Mine Manager Qualification Certificate", "Mine Manager Safety Qualification Certificate" and "Business License".

It's just that he didn't know what kind of certificates he needed in this era, so he immediately asked Yin Shi for advice.

Yin Shi naturally explained it to him clearly, and said, "If you need a mine manager, I will introduce you to someone at that time." ”

Jiang Xiaobai groaned slightly and nodded in agreement.

He really didn't have a suitable person for a while, he observed Yin Shi, and felt that it was still relatively reliable, and the person introduced should not be bad, just wait for the meeting to investigate.

In the end, the two negotiated the royalties for mining rights and prospecting rights, which were paid year by year according to the area of the mining area, and the Coal Mining Bureau had relevant standards, and Jiang Xiaobai did not bargain, and paid 100,000 yuan first.

Although I haven't gotten the license yet, it's a sure thing.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but rejoice, I am also a person with mines.

After withdrawing money from the bank and paying the money, it was already past ten o'clock.

Jiang Xiaobai left Yin Shi's office, returned to Luo Changsheng's office, and said, "County Magistrate Luo, the matter between me and Director Yin has been completed, so let's go first and go to Li Gen's house to have a look." ”

Luo Changsheng nodded: "You go first, I still have some things to deal with here, and at noon, I and your sister-in-law will come over again." ”

Jiang Xiaobai answered and went out with Jiang Shan.

"Ah, I can finally go to Aunt Luo's house!"

When he got into the car, the little one seemed very happy.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and drove to the east of the city.

Li Gen's home is in the eastern suburbs of Tucheng, a small place called Chestnut Ping, about five miles away from the city, and there is only one Mao Ma Road leading there, so there is no need to ask for directions.

The road is not very flat, there are potholes along the way, the jeep bumps all the way, and after ten minutes I arrive at a large Pingba, where chestnut trees grow everywhere, the tall ones are close to 20 meters, and the small ones are more than ten meters high.

There happened to be a family on the side of Mao Ma Road, Jiang Xiaobai parked the car on the side of the road and went to inquire about the specific location of Li Gen's house.

"Is anyone home?"

Jiang Xiaobai went to the dam and asked loudly at the door.

Not long after, an old man in his sixties came out of the house, seeing that Jiang Xiaobai didn't know him, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello uncle, let me ask where Li Gen's family lives?"

Jiang Xiaobai handed over a Huazi and asked.

The old man waved his hand, he was not used to smoking paper cigarettes, and said: "Oh, you look for a baby, his house is not far in front, you go half a mile ahead, there is a boss chestnut tree on the right, you go from the path next to the chestnut tree, walk forty or fifty meters, the second family is his house." ”

Jiang Xiaobai thanked him and left.

According to the path pointed out by the old man, there was a tall chestnut tree not far ahead, and at this time the leaves on the tree were all gone, and only the bare trunk and branches remained, and the dark gray bark had irregular deep longitudinal cracks, and the gray-brown branches swayed in the wind.

Behind the big chestnut tree was a small hill, and the hill was full of farmland, some of which were planted with radishes or cabbage, and most of which were empty.

A dirt path winds up from under a large chestnut tree between the ridges.

Although there is a word "ping" in the name of Chestnut Ping, it does not mean that it is really flat here, but there is a large flat dam between several mountains.

Jiang Xiaobai parked the car, took a lot of things from the trunk with Jiang Shan, and walked to the path.

There are four or five houses on the slope, all of which are low and old tiled houses, some of which are still built with thatched roofs, and green smoke rises from the tiles of every house.

This is not the time to cook, and it is obvious that the smoke from the roasting fire is rising.

Such a scene is also common in Jiangwan winter, but it is not unusual.

When I passed by the first house, I didn't attract the attention of the owner.

In the winter, people are all at home, unless someone calls the door, so even if the door is open, no one usually comes out.

Soon the father and daughter came to the second family, which was Li Gen's family.

The house built of earth tiles, three main houses, with a drag eaves at the back, a side house on the left, shaped like a "7", has a door on the square and the side house.

The same door was open, but no one was seen.

"Want Want Want ......"

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Shan walked up to the dam, a yellow earth dog on the edge of the stairs stood up and barked at the two of them.

"Don't bark, dog, I'm here to find Aunt Luo!"

When Jiang Shan went to Chen Yuanchao's house before, she was frightened by dogs. But since she raised Jiang Shi, she is no longer afraid of dogs. The yellow dog only barked and didn't move, so she said with a smile.

I thought that this dog, like her river lion, could understand what she said.
