Xiao Zhengping looked at Li Shuiquan, who was full of anticipation, and wanted to tease him, so he replied: "Fake!" I'm kidding you! I'm busy enough every day, where is the time to take care of you? ”

Li Shuiquan glared at Xiao Zhengping, and complained angrily: "You don't have time to come here to amuse me!" As he spoke, he turned around and continued to tidy up his counter, "Your kid is developed now, and you don't come to me to do business when you send Qiangqiang to school, you buy it in the township, right?" ”

"Nope!" Xiao Zhengping replied briefly, and then paused deliberately, causing Li Shuiquan to turn around again, thinking that he was here to buy stationery. But Xiao Zhengping didn't make him Li Shuiquan happy for too long, and immediately choked him half to death with one sentence, "Who bought it in the township, I bought it in the county seat." ”

Stunned, Li Shuiquan laughed, "Hehe, you deliberately got angry with me, right?" ”

"Uncle, why am I angry with you? Isn't this going to the village and coming to talk to you when I pass by! ”

Li Shuiquan turned around, and then tidied up the counter, "Oh, the big celebrities in our village can still remember me, Pingzi, you kid has a conscience." ”

"Hehe, I'm not kidding you. Uncle, if you really have the idea of going it alone, go to Lady Yan to discuss and see if he can arrange it. It's really not good, don't we still have mules, you carry the goods down the mountain, and then use the mule cart to pull them back. ”

Li Shuiquan turned his head to look at Xiao Zhengping, and after making sure that he was not joking, he replied: "Okay, I'll think about it again, and I'll talk about it then." ”

Xiao Zhengping was equal for a while, and when Li Shuiquan finished tidying up the shelves and turned around again, he asked meaningfully: "Uncle, Hu Shanchuan doesn't seem to have moved much recently, is he so quiet?" ”

"Hey, can you not be quiet! I heard that fortunately, what he did had not been legislated, otherwise, if he left a criminal record, his descendants would have to hate him for the rest of his life. ”

"It's really, woe to three generations!"

"Hehe, you kid is really ruthless, pinching his death hole. You don't want to think about it, if it really hurts three generations, the surname Hu can't find you desperately. ”

"If he doesn't fix me to death, I won't fix him to death! Uncle, it's easy for me not to do it, and I have to let him know that it hurts! ”

"Hey, now he knows it's hurting, and he's almost out of breath. No, he didn't ask about such a big thing in the village, he didn't ask, this had to be put on hold as usual, and he Hu Shanchuan didn't wear through the soles of his shoes! ”

"Big deal? What's the big deal? ”

"You don't know yet? Oh, didn't the village take back the livestock shed from you, I originally wanted to learn from you to collect mushrooms, where did you know that Hu Shanchuan was laid down by you, and this year there are no mushrooms on our mountain, and the livestock shed has been idle there. A while ago, Cao Zhishu heard that he was making money by running a brick kiln, so he wondered about vacating the land for the livestock shed and the smoke stove to build a brick kiln. ”

"The public land, he said to take it?! I was going to contract and hold a conference, why is it so easy now? ”

"Open! It must be opened, or it can't be said. However, people can say that the brick kiln is built for the whole village, and every household can share the money when they make money. ”

Xiao Zhengping thought for a while and said, "It's not a bad thing to build a brick kiln, what the city wants now is bricks." But there is not even a head of livestock in the village, so how can the bricks be pulled out when they are burned? ”

Li Shuiquan smiled at Xiao Zhengping, "You have livestock, you can sell those two cattle to the village again, and make another profit!" ”

Xiao Zhengping knew that Li Shuiquan was cold himself, and he was not angry, and explained: "That brick is not smoke, and the county town is not as good as going to the township, how much can the cow pull at once!" I'm just using an analogy. ”

Li Shuiquan said with a smile: "People are not stupid, they have thought of this problem a long time ago." Cao Zhishu said that when the brick kiln was built, he would buy a tractor. ”

While laughing with Li Shuiquan, Xiao Zhengping was thinking in his heart.

Although the whole thing sounded like everything when Li Shuiquan said it, Xiao Zhengping always felt that something was wrong.

After a while, Xiao Zhengping said to Li Shuiquan: "Uncle, you are busy first, I just want to go to see Uncle Shusheng, and ask about this by the way." ”

After that, Xiao Zhengping left the supply and marketing cooperatives and walked in the direction of the village.

Because he came to school with a large family before, Xiao Zhengping deliberately did not ride a bicycle.

When passing by the Erlang Bridge, Xiao Zhengping suddenly remembered that he hadn't walked past this bridge for a long time.

The origin of the name Erlang Bridge, no one can tell clearly, the more unified theory is that a person who ranks second in the family and is called Erlang built the bridge.

The ravine under the bridge is three or four meters wide, and there is more than ten meters deep, and the bridge body is an arch bridge made of large stones, and the chiseling marks on it are very obvious.

The guardrail on the side of the bridge is made of wood, which is easy to rot and is often repaired.

Standing on the bridge, Xiao Zhengping was a little curious, what was so special under this bridge, and why he was reborn in this place.

The terrain of Erlang Bridge is dozens of meters higher than the school, and you can overlook half of the camphor tree on the bridge, and standing on the bridge facing the direction of the sunrise, you can just see the old camphor tree standing at the entrance of the village, Xiao Zhengping thought to himself, this is mostly the deep meaning of building the bridge here.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Xiao Zhengping took another step.

When he arrived at the village headquarters, Xiao Zhengping quietly glanced inside, only to see Cao Yuankui and Chen Jinshan talking, and there was no one else.

The main purpose of this trip was to see Zou Shusheng and learn about the recent situation in the village by the way, so Xiao Zhengping immediately withdrew from the village and walked in the direction of Zou Shusheng's house.

As in previous years, Zou Shusheng's cigarettes had not yet finished baking, and Xiao Zhengping saw smoke coming from his flue-cured tobacco stove from a long distance.

Not long after, Xiao Zhengping came to the courtyard of Zou Shusheng's house and shouted inside: "Director Zou! ”

Soon, Zou Shusheng ran out of the backyard.

Seeing Xiao Zhengping, Zou Shusheng seemed a little disappointed, "It's you, come in." ”

Xiao Zhengping smiled, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and then followed Zou Shusheng into his backyard.

"You kid hasn't come to my house for a while, why did you want to come over today?" Zou Shusheng walked straight to the smoke stove, opened the door of the stove and looked at the fire.

"It's nothing, send Qiangqiang to school today, and stop by to have a look."

"Oh! What's going on with the fungus at home? ”

"Not like that! Xu Xiaohui will come in two days, and the fungus stall mainly depends on her. ”

"Hmmm! Your deer farm is doing well, and even Li Lang has started selling your wine. ”

Xiao Zhengping was stunned when he heard this, "Really? I just came from him, and I didn't hear him. ”

"What is there to say, what the supply and marketing cooperatives sell or not, he doesn't count, behind this must be the county leaders who have done the work."

"Also, he is a supply and marketing cooperative, and he doesn't have a leader to do the work, so he really can't squeeze in."

Maybe it's because they haven't been in contact for a long time, and the two have lost their common topic because of running a factory, and they have nothing to say when they chat.

After a while, Xiao Zhengping asked, "Uncle, I heard that a brick kiln is going to be built in the village?" ”

Zou Shusheng nodded, "The livestock shed and the smoke stove are rotten there, and the Cao branch secretary wants to take them out to contribute to everyone." ”

"Uncle, do you also agree to build a brick kiln?"

Zou Shusheng obviously hesitated, and after a while he nodded, "I don't agree with it, this is a good thing to contribute to the big guys." ”

Xiao Zhengping sighed, "Uncle, I heard this from Li Xianglang, I felt that something was wrong at that time, I walked and thought about it all the way, and the more I thought about it, the more problematic it became." ”

Zou Shusheng smiled bitterly and asked, "Is it a cost problem?" ”

Xiao Zhengping was taken aback, "You also thought of it?" ”

Zou Shusheng sneered: "Fools can't think of it! He Cao Yuankui also didn't want to think about how close people were to the county seat, and how far away we were from the county seat! He kept saying that he bought a tractor and drove it himself, and he thought that the tractor didn't burn oil and people didn't eat! ”

Listening to Zou Shusheng's meal of bamboo tube pouring beans, Xiao Zhengping knew that he had been holding back for a long time, and it was estimated that he had mentioned this issue earlier, but it was not the case that the secretary of the Cao branch was like this.

"Uncle, the premise of talking about cost is that someone has to buy it, even if it can't be sold in the county, it can be sold to the township, it's a big deal to lose some money! What I'm worried about is why people don't buy bricks closer to them, but they go to our hill to buy them? To put it mildly, if the driver is careless or the car has some problem and overturns, it will be a car crash! Uncle, if the brick kiln is opened but no one comes to buy it, the village will lose all its money. ”

Zou Shusheng sighed again and again when he said a word, and finally he shook his head with a wry smile, "This Cao Yuankui, the upper will please the leader, the lower will understand the minds of the people, and he will be stubborn and self-serving, now don't say it's you and me, even the township secretary is useless to persuade him." The township will not persuade him, and the leaders want this kind of cadre who dares to think and dare to do. ”

"Isn't there still a conference? Isn't it enough for the majority to oppose it? ”

"Hmph, it seems that you really don't know Cao Yuankui, let me tell you, he touched the bottom once long before discussing this matter. When he found out, he told people to open a brick kiln to make money, and everyone shared the money equally, and everyone had a share. What do you say about these costs and transportation, can we explain it clearly, and can others explain it clearly? I'm afraid they don't even understand what they need to build a brick kiln! These people, as long as they hear that they have money to make, they don't care about anything, you see, when it comes to the conference, if not 100 percent, at least 90 percent of the people must agree. ”

After speaking, Zou Shusheng suddenly fell into deep thought, his eyes were foggy, he seemed to have seen the result of this matter, and his expression looked very painful.

After thinking for a while, he seemed to think of something, and complained to Xiao Zhengping: "You said that you are too, isn't it over to run the factory, isn't it just a matter of one breath!" You have to be angry! You have to be angry! Now that it's like this, you're satisfied! ”

Xiao Zhengping was stunned, why did it get to me? He smiled and said: "Uncle, you can't blame me for this, the village has to take back the livestock shed, and you have to build the brick kiln yourself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Zou Shusheng realized that he was a little excessive, so he waved his hand, "Forget it, no one is to blame, he Cao Yuankui can do whatever he wants, I don't bother to care." ”

Xiao Zhengping is also very helpless, mainly because his current focus is not in the village, and now the deer farm, wine shop, and back mountain are all things, and he has no energy to pay attention to these things that have nothing to do with him.

"Hey, it's up to us to see if we can stop him when the conference is held." Xiao Zhengping sighed.
