Chapter 016: Inspecting the Ferry
The two villages in Gangdong and Gangnan made a big movement of collective fighting for the ownership of the ferry, and as the head of a township, Tian Shaowu could no longer pretend to be stupid.
On the second day of the incident, he called Zhao Gongbo and Chen Cangwei, the two village chiefs, to the township, first reprimanded him sternly, and then made a statement of impartiality.
After all, the old township chief played a not very glorious role in this transaction, eating the food of other people's Gangnan Village, and taking the money of Chen Sanshu, if this matter was really stabbed in the county, the old township chief would naturally be affected, and he would not be able to escape the involvement, after all, the son-in-law of the old township chief served in the county, and his rank was not low, and he didn't need a reason to let his easily accessible secretary throne be in the soup.
What should I do?
Neither side is a fuel-efficient lamp, and both sides are bound to take ownership of the ferry......
"Or ...... The township has taken back the ferry. Gu Changhong saw that the leader was worried about this matter because he couldn't eat or sleep, but he had a few more silver hairs in one night, so he was naturally distressed, racked his brains, and came up with a clever plan for the leader.
Didn't the two of them risk their lives for the sake of a ferry? Then give them a salary from the bottom of the kettle, let their two bamboo baskets be empty, and see how they can continue to make trouble.
Tian Shaowu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Director Gu, who can only play with guns and sticks, still thinks it's simple!
In this way, isn't it equivalent to concentrating the contradictions in the township?
Then the ferry must be managed and operated, who will be sent?
Are you from another village?
Isn't that less than three days before the people of those two villages join forces to drive them away?
Continue to use the people of Gangnan Village?
Can Gangdong Village agree?
The people of the East Village of the Changing of the Guard?
Can Gangnan Village endure it?
Two villages half against half?
Don't operate the ferry, just change it to a ring!
A large number of question marks dangled in front of Tian Shaowu's eyes, causing him to be dizzy and just want to sleep.
The state of the leader is very bad, Gu Changhong, who thinks he is very discerning, once had the idea of not bothering the leader anymore, but the benefits promised by Chen Cangwei are too tempting, Gu Changhong endured and endured, but after all, he still couldn't bear it.
"Township Chief, the incident that Chen Cangwei begged me to do, said that he had reported it to you, I think the simplest and most practical way is to arrest people directly, if that kid can bear it, count me as ......."
Tian Shaowu waved his hand a little impatiently, and replied: "It's an eventful autumn, don't add to the chaos, there is still some time to go about the general election in Gangnan Village, and when the turmoil at the ferry subsides, it's not too late for you to do it again." ”
Gu Changhong was a little regretful.
In this way, such a big piece of fat can only be eaten a few days later, and I am not afraid of it, but I am afraid that there are many dreams at night, and what a pity it must be if I can't eat it!
"Well, it's still the township chief who has thought it through, so what, I can't help here, so I'll go back first."
Gu Changhong tiptoed out of the township chief's office, and gently closed the office door from the outside, leaving the township chief Tian to nap on the sofa alone...... Oh no, thinking about work.
Tian Shaowu, who hadn't slept well all night, really fell asleep for a while, not only snoring evenly, but also had a dream by the way. In the dream, he personally went to the ferry to inspect, and as a result, the ferry suddenly turned into a dragon, which set off a monstrous wave on the surface of the river, and suddenly swept him into the bottom of the river, and the river water was so cold......
Tian Shaowu woke up suddenly.
Whew-
It turned out that he didn't know who turned on the electric fan for him.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to Zhaojiabu Ferry for a walk."
……
There are more than 27,000 villagers in 23 villages of Shigang Township, and if you want to go to the city area, it is the closest and most convenient to take the Zhaojiabu ferry.
Although there is a bridge in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River and a bridge in the lower reaches, if you take the river bridge, you will have to take a detour for more than 50 miles.
For the villagers who measure the distance with two legs, the road of more than 50 miles is equivalent to more than half a day's rush time, and for the people who ride bicycles, it is at least a waste of two more hours of effort, if you take the bus, you have to transfer at least two buses in the middle, and the delay time is not a few, and it costs money.
And cross the river from Zhaojiabu ferry, cross the river and walk a few steps, there is a bus station, and the shuttle bus to the city of Shencheng City takes ten minutes, which is extremely convenient. As for this part of the road in the township, villagers can choose to take the public shuttle, or take the village tractor, or ride a bicycle.
This highlights the strategic position and importance of Zhaojiabu ferry in the transportation of Shigang Township.
As the head of a township, Tian Shaowu is not very familiar with the Zhaojiabu ferry.
He is not from Shigang Township, he lived on the east bank of the Xijiang River when he was a child, and he came to Shigang Township when he joined the work as an adult. When I first came to work, I often went back to my hometown, and later got married and had children in Shigang Township, and I went back once or twice a year. Whether he goes back often or once or twice a year, he always takes the bus.
Later, when he became the head of the township, he didn't have to take the Zhaojiabu ferry, because the public gave him a special car, a jeep eliminated from the county.
On the way, Tian Shaowu wanted to squint for a while, but the bumps in the vehicle made him unable to sleep at all, so he simply rubbed his face, forcibly lifted his spirits, and made some preparations in advance for the next inspection.
"Who is in charge of the Zhaojiabu ferry now? I'm referring to the specific person in charge, not Chen Cangwei. ”
There were only the driver and him in the car, and this question was obviously asked to the driver's master.
The driver is a native of Shigang Township, and his hometown is not far from Gangnan Village, so he is naturally quite familiar with the situation of the ferry.
"The seventh uncle of the Liu family in Gangnan Village."
"The seventh uncle of the Liu family? Isn't that young? ”
The driver's age is two years older than Tian Shaowu, and he has to be called an uncle, presumably not young.
And so it is.
"That's it, the old man was a person who went to the battlefield before liberation, and he was over sixty years old, and his body was tough and ordinary descendants couldn't compare."
Tian Shaowu suddenly felt that his heart suddenly burst twice, this old man, he seems to have such an impression!
Oh, remembered...... When I went to Gangnan Village three years ago to inspect the village work, an old man carried a long bamboo pole to support the boat, and almost slapped Chen Cangwei in the face, saying that he wanted to vent his anger for his grandson, and that old man was estimated to be the seventh uncle of the Liu family.
This seventh uncle of the Liu family has a hot temper, and when he arrives at the ferry, he has to be careful with his words and deeds, but don't anger him, and the old man pumped a bamboo pole into the river......
The road condition was a little better, but it was finally bumpy to the Zhaojiabu ferry.
Tian Shaowu's luck was quite good, and when he got off the bus, the ferry had just docked on the west bank.
It was already early afternoon, and few people rushed to the city area at this time, so there were far more people getting off the ferry than boarding the ferry. Some villagers recognized Township Chief Tian, and everyone greeted Township Chief Tian and gave up the front position, but Tian Shaowu just smiled and waved his hand, consciously lining up at the back of the boarding line.
When I got on the boat, I saw the old man standing on the bow of the boat.
"Uncle Liu, do you still recognize me? Tian Shaowu in the township! ”
The seventh uncle turned his head, squinted his eyes and looked at him twice, he was old, and although his body was tough, he was not forgiving about his eyes.
"It's Township Chief Tian, what's the matter, you want to cross the river to Shencheng?" The seventh uncle took a look at the shore with his hand, and then beckoned, "Why don't you drive the car up?" Our ferry is not big, but it can carry your jeep. ”
Tian Shaowu smiled: "I'm not over the river, I'm here to see your old man." ”
The seventh uncle was stunned at first, then thought of something, and then showed a bright smile on his face, greeted him, and took the head of Tian Township to the cockpit.
"Township Chief Tian is here for the two families of Gangdong and Gangnan to compete for the ferry, right?"
Tian Shaowu didn't intend to hide it from this grumpy old man, so he briefly described the situation one by one, and poured some of the embarrassing water of the township public family to the seventh uncle by the way.
The seventh uncle is really a little bit.
Before Tian Shaowu finished speaking, the old man burst into foul language.
"This Chen family is really a bastard, how can he cause so much trouble to the township for the private interests of a village? I couldn't look down on what Chen Laosan did at the beginning, but when I came back, it was already a boat. At present, your Township Chief Tian is presiding over the work of the township government, and the boss of the Zhao family sees hope and wants to bring back the Zhaojiabu ferry, so that is reasonable! ”
Tian Shaowu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Hearing Uncle Liu say this, you should agree to return the ferry to Gangdong Village?" ”
The seventh uncle replied firmly: "Of course! What was Chen Laosan's behavior called back then, yes, it was called bullying and stealing, if this kind of thing was put on the table, he Chen Laosan would not have the face to see the ancestors of the Chen family. Chen Eryi didn't know it, but he kept following Gangdong Zhao Jiaqiang like this, did he want to make his third uncle's first name stink? ”
Tian Shaowu said with emotion: "Uncle Liu Qi really understands the righteousness, our two views on this matter can be said to coincide, and I am also worried that this incident will ruin the reputation of the third uncle of the Chen family!" ”
Regarding the so-called feng shui village luck, the seventh uncle said that he didn't believe it before and now believes it, which is nothing more than to strengthen the existence foundation of the so-called big man. As for the village movement in Gangnan Village, Uncle Seven didn't pay attention to it at all, the big guys all appeared, do you still care about the village movement?
Besides, Gangnan Village is not from a clan of his Chen family, what is the current Gangnan Village related to his ancestors? The current Gangnan Village is counting on his grandson of Liu Qiye, and his grandson of Liu Qiye is a snake. If the snake is carried on the mountain, it will drown if it falls into the river.
"Township Chief Tian, don't worry about this matter anymore, I'll go to the second Chen family tonight, he has to agree, if he doesn't agree, he has to agree, within five days, the ferry must be returned to Gangdong Village."
Taking advantage of Tian Shaowu's excitement and speechlessness, the seventh uncle struck while the iron was hot and added:
"However, the ferry at this ferry port is not enough, and if Gangdong Village wants to get the ferry back, it will have to agree to add a bigger ferry to the ferry."
Tian Shaowu shouted in his heart: "Seventh uncle of the Liu family, you are really my own uncle, as long as you can help me settle this matter, I will let Zhao Gongbo add two more ferries."
