Zhao Ke and Zhao Xinshan summed it up and took who to take to the county.

A spitting and a nail, since Zhao Ke said that he would bring a different person every time he goes out, he must do what he says.

"Uncle, are you with you? There is nothing big in the village in the past two days, let's go to the commune to talk about selling bricks, you are there, maybe you can make a decision directly. "

"You can call the shots, too." Zhao Xinshan said this, wanting to experience the feeling of being a tractor, and agreed, "It's okay to go together." ”

Zhao Ke asked: "Who will you bring?"

In fact, it is more suitable to have a person who is changed to open it, but Zhao Ke said that he would not take people out repeatedly...... Zhao Xinshan pondered for a moment and said, "Stone, he is down-to-earth."

The people who bought the pigs were so decided, and the two of them agreed to leave at five o'clock tomorrow morning. Zhao Xinshan went to inform the stone, and Zhao Ke finished packing up his things and went home to rest.

The next day, the three of them casually pad their stomachs at home and gathered at the brigade headquarters.

At this point, many members couldn't lie down, and they had already gotten up for a walk, and saw Zhao Xinshan open the door of the warehouse and come around. Zhao Ke started the tractor, slowly poured out of the warehouse, poured it into the drying field and turned around, and shouted Zhao Xinshan and the stone to get on the car. The stone strode up a few times, and under the eyes of the members, there was a big tooth music. Zhao Xinshan is old, steady and steady, and walked over with a smile. Both of them invariably chose to sit on the front fender of the car, not on the tow.

The scenery in front of the boss is different.

"Sit tight."

After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and the tractor roared by. The members only heard that Zhao Ke came back with a tractor, and they were surprised to see it for the first time.

"That's a fast run!" It's really skillful. "What can we do Director Zhao?" When can we drive a tractor, it's really chic to sit on it......"

The speed of a tractor, of course, is not comparable to that of an ox cart or a bicycle.

Although the degree of bumps is far more than the two, but it usually takes three or four hours to travel, but today it takes more than an hour to arrive, and Zhao Xinshan and Shi completely ignored the bad places.

What's wrong? It's so fast and convenient, it's not good to care about that, that's because they pick fat and pick thin!

"It's so early, the commune hasn't gone to work yet, so it's better to come out later."

The tractor stopped at the gate of the commune compound, and Zhao Xinshan sat on the tractor, holding a cigarette in both hands, smoking proudly under the sight of passers-by.

Stone grinning,

"That's right, come out at seven o'clock, it's too late."

Zhao Ke couldn't help laughing, got up and got out of the car, "Uncle, you two are here to watch the car, I'll go to my sister's place for a while."

"Okay." Zhao Xinshan paused, "Just now I drove directly to the bearing factory, so I don't have to go more than this section."

There are many people in the bearing factory, and there are many people who know Zhao Ke, and they all know that their Zhao Cuner brigade has bought a four-wheel tractor. Zhao Xinshan is a bit of a pity.

Zhao Ke wanted to laugh even more, and echoed: "Yes, my sister hasn't seen the tractor of our brigade yet." "If you have time, I'll take her over and have a look."

Zhao Ke smiled and agreed: "Okay."

At this time, the bearing factory has been full of people.

Zhao Ke went to the dormitory first, Zhao Mian was not there, and then casually asked the three co-workers to know Zhao Mian's location. In the cafeteria, Zhao Mian sat in the corner by the window, with a book in front of him, and the finished dishes were placed in another position on the right hand.

She has always kept studying, and in order to go to the provincial capital for further study, the intensity of study has increased, and almost all of her free time is reading various work-related books.

The morning light is not warm, just like Zhao Mian, her beautiful appearance is just a foil to her gentle background.

When she was focused, no one suspected that she was pretending, and the workers passing by had to look at her more, and couldn't help lowering their voices. Zhao Ke found her and quietly approached from behind.

An acquaintance worker discovered Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke raised his index finger, blocked his lips, and silently "shhhh The worker pretended not to see her.

Zhao Ke walked lightly behind Zhao Mian, quickly and gently covered her eyes, and changed his voice in the tone of a foreign movie dubbing: "Oh~ My dear comrade, say my name, and you will unlock the light."

Zhao Mian's hand was only raised slightly, then put it down again, the corners of his mouth rose, and he deliberately guessed wrong, "Xiaowen?" Zhao Ke shook his head, "Who is Xiaowen?" Is there anyone in this world who loves you more than me?" Zhao Mian's earlobes flushed, "Yes, my family."

"Okay~" Zhao Ke reluctantly said, "I can't refute this answer." Zhao Mian sat peacefully, with no intention of struggling at all.

Zhao Ke joked a few words, then let go of his hand, walked to the opposite side of Zhao Mian, and pretended to be worried: "Sister, you are so honest, I am really worried that you will be easily deceived away."

Zhao Mian asked her with a smile:

"Have you just returned from the provincial capital? Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"I came back the night before yesterday, and I have already returned to the brigade, and now I am going to the county seat to buy pigs." Zhao Ke stretched out his hand to pick up the dinner plate she had used, "We drove the tractor, and the uncle is also here, it's still early, let's go and have a look?"

Zhao Mian clamped the bookmark, closed the book, got up softly, and went out with her.

The two returned to the commune compound.

Zhao Ke's hand was on the car cover and patted, "How is it?"

Zhao Mian was as she wished, showing a little surprise, "I actually bought a four-wheeled vehicle, it's amazing......" Zhao Ke got his sister's praise, and his eyebrows fluttered and he talked about it.

Zhao Mian listened carefully and sighed from time to time.

Zhao Ke was satisfied and regretful: "It's a pity that you have to go to work, otherwise you can sit on the tractor I drive."

It's a pity that Zhao Xinshan can't go to the bearing factory to show off, almost the same.

Zhao Mian smiled, "There will definitely be a chance in the future, I also want to take Xiao Ke's tractor."

She still has to go to work, talk for a while, and then leave.

Zhao Ke sent her a little way, and just happened to meet Officer Cheng, the sisters separated, and Zhao Ke returned to the commune compound with Secretary Cheng. When Officer Cheng saw the four-wheeled tractor of Zhao Cun'er's brigade, he also praised it for a while.

Zhao Xinshan and Shishi's joy was completely hung on their faces, without concealment.

When Secretary Duan came to work on a bicycle, Shi stayed outside to watch the tractor, and Zhao Ke and Zhao Xinshan went in with Secretary Duan.

In the secretary's office, Secretary Duan said while untying his scarf: "It's only been a year, and I've bought a tractor, and your brigade is developing rapidly, which can be said to be changing with each passing day."

Zhao Xinshan's red face was a little worried, and when he heard Secretary Duan's words, he said modestly: "Secretary Duan, you have won the award, we have to continue to work hard."

Secretary Duan hung up his coat, sat behind his desk, and asked, "Are you here for the test field?" Zhao Ke took out the folder from his satchel, took out the materials that needed to be stamped, and handed them to him with both hands.

Secretary Duan took a closer look and confirmed that there was no problem, so he took out the seal ,—— and covered it, and then took out an empty file bag from the drawer and packed it.

"Just let me go here, I'll let people do it in the past few days, don't worry, don't delay your brigade's spring ploughing."

/>

Secretary Duan took off the pen cap, marked it on the file bag, and smiled at the two: "I went to the city for a meeting before, and I received the attention of many leaders and commune secretaries, your brigade is a part of the Shuangshan Commune, you have developed well, and I have a light on my face, this is the glory of our entire Shuangshan Commune."

was praised by the leaders of the commune, Zhao Xinshan couldn't hold back his expression directly, smiled so much that his folds bloomed, and his face was honest. Secretary Duan has seen Zhao Xinshan many times, and he has a serious face, and he is really happy to smile like this. But which captain can not be happy to see that the brigade is getting better and better, and that it is still famous?

Secretary Duan teased funny: "Captain Zhao, in front of other captains, you still have to be modest, so as not to affect unity." Zhao Xinshan's old face was hot, and he coughed, "Yes, what you said is true."

He remembered what he was thinking about in his heart and looked at Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke is the women's director, and when Zhao Xinshan, the captain, is there, she can't overstep her responsibilities.

Zhao Xinshan straightened his face and said, "Secretary Duan, we are here today, and I have something I want to ask you for." Secretary Duan raised his hand and motioned for him to speak.

"It's an agreement to supply bricks to our commune's sauerkraut factory."

As he spoke, Zhao Ke took out the temporary agreement he had signed earlier and handed it to Secretary Duan with both hands.

Zhao Xinshan continued: "After a whole winter of unremitting hard work, our brigade has completed the amount of bricks required by the agreement, and now we have a tractor, waiting for the instructions of the commune, and it can be sent at any time."

Secretary Duan nodded with satisfaction, "Your brigade is doing things, I can rest assured." Zhao Xinshan asked: "Then look, when will we send it over?"

Secretary Duan said: "Spring ploughing is imminent, the commune must first ensure the foundation of the peasants, and when the spring ploughing is over, it is not too late to send it." They expected this answer. Zhao Ke and Zhao Xinshan don't care when the sauerkraut factory starts, what they care about is the money.

Zhao Xinshan said very tactfully: "The amount of bricks is quite large, and our tractor can't pull too much at one time, and we can't finish it in one day or two, so we thought that if the commune agreed, we would transport a batch of them before spring ploughing, so as to relieve the labor pressure of our members and not delay the project of the sauerkraut factory." What do you see?"

When Secretary Duan heard this, he nodded approvingly, "Also, your brigade has a lot of things, and the work is piled up together, which is a bit hectic."

Thank you for your understanding.

Secretary Duan thought for a while and said: "There is still a period of time before the official start of construction, and the sauerkraut demarcated by the commune

The factory site is on the periphery of the commune, and it is inevitable that it will be lost, so it will be pulled to the commune compound for the time being, and you can also directly connect with the responsible officer.

When Zhao Ke heard this, he was a little strange, how could it be the commune's officer?

And Zhao Xinshan replied without thinking: "Eh, then when we come back after buying the pigs, we will arrange for people to send them over one after another." Secretary Duan smiled: Okay.

Since I promised to send it...... Zhao Xinshan said to the point, then you see, when will this brick money be settled?

Brick money ......

Secretary Duan's smile was slightly retracted, he picked up the teacup and drank the water slowly.

Zhao Xinshan looked at him expectantly, suppressing eagerness.

After a while, Secretary Duan put down the teacup again, but didn't talk about the bricks, but instead talked about the road conditions: Xiao Zhao, you are running all the way from the provincial capital, and the highways at all levels should be gone, right? Is there a big difference in road conditions?

Zhao Ke didn't know why, and replied honestly: It's very different.

The national highway is a gravel asphalt pavement, the provincial highway is very diversified, the asphalt road has, the residue pavement is more, and when it is far away from the city, in addition to the main road, it is almost all gravel pavement.

The country's overall economy is now relatively difficult, their province's industrial development is relatively fast, many counties have factories, there are transportation needs, the requirements for the road surface are higher, and each level of highway to be borne by the city and county finance, the financial, material and human resources consumed to build a road are extremely high.

Zhao Ke and the others walked on that section of the provincial road, because it was in disrepair for a long time, and it was intermittently potholed.

But even so, it is much better than the road in Shuangshan Commune.

The main road from the county seat to Shuangshan Commune is a gravel road, and from the commune to the brigades, it is all dirt roads, and every year it freezes or rains, and the roads are muddy, and it is almost impossible to walk.

Secretary Duan said: "The road is smooth, I don't need to say more about the benefits, you must all know it." Our commune should build a cohesive gravel road between the various brigades, which is to vigorously promote the development of the commune.

Zhao Xinshan echoed: Yes, don't say anything else, the time to go back and forth is shortened, you can do a lot of things, and it is convenient to do odd jobs. Like Zhao Cun'er's brigade, it takes three or four hours to enter the commune every time, and it takes more than half a day to go back and forth. Building roads is of great significance.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

/>

These branch roads are still dirt roads, and at most they are leveled and widened. The dirt road is too heavily affected by the weather, and it will become uneven again after a few rains.

Therefore, their brigade wants to spend manpower and material resources to build the road outside the village into a gravel road, and now it is only repaired to the top of the small road at the entrance of the village, and the rest of the road, if it continues to be repaired, it is necessary to mobilize the Zhou Cun'er Brigade, Pan Cun'er Brigade, and Li Cun'er Brigade.

It must be hard, but if you want to develop, it is imperative to build roads.

Secretary Duan should also mean the same thing, but ...... Zhao Ke was faintly a little weird.

And Secretary Duan continued: "Your brigade has developed rapidly, and you have bought a tractor, and you will often enter and exit in the future.

Having said that, being placed in a position with an advantage, something was not right, Zhao Ke subconsciously said: "Everyone is equal, it is the whole commune that benefits, although our brigade is developing rapidly, it is completely our own step by step."

Secretary Duan said calmly: "Of course, the commune is very sure of the efforts of your brigade, but you have to admit that you proposed to build the road because if you don't build it, it will inevitably limit the speed of your development."

Yes, this is one of the reasons, but we can't just mention Zhao Cun'er's brigade.

Zhao Ke distinguished: The commune and the brigade complement each other, and the good development of our brigade does not mean that our brigade has exclusive benefits, the commune's taxes, the leaders' political achievements, and the promotion of other brigades...... It wouldn't be fair to us if we didn't.

Zhao Xinshan didn't quite understand why the two of them suddenly argued, but he didn't delay when he heard Zhao Ke say "political achievements", he was startled and pulled her to remind her.

Secretary Duan did not show any signs of anger, and even admired Zhao Ke, The state advocates the recovery of the economy, and there is a certain relaxation and support in policy, and the commune has always supported your brigade as much as possible.

Zhao Xinshan hurriedly said: Yes, the commune's support for our brigade is the confidence of our brigade.

Secretary Duan nodded and promised: "In the future, the commune will continue to support you within a reasonable range, and we have cooperated very happily before."

Thank you Commune, Secretary Xie Duan.

Secretary Duan waved his hand, and then the conversation changed, but you also have to be considerate and considerate of the difficulties of the commune, last year experienced a flood, and the construction of roads was also undertaken by the commune's finances, and the commune was under great pressure.

Zhao Ke's heart was even more weird, and he was a little inexplicably familiar.

> sure enough, Secretary Duan's next sentence finally returned to "On the sauerkraut factory, the commune's finances are tight, and every dollar has to be spent on the blade of people's livelihood. Your brigade can understand the Commune, right?

Zhao Ke:

Going around in such a circle, waiting here. No wonder she felt familiar, this was a credit with their team. A dog has his day.

Their brigade gave IOUs to the members, and now it is the turn of the commune to give them IOUs to their brigade.... The corners of Zhao Ke's mouth twitched slightly, and to a certain extent, he felt the mood of the members at the beginning.

As soon as Zhao Xinshan heard that he couldn't get the brick money immediately, he said anxiously: "Secretary, the brick money is only a small amount for the commune, but not for our brigade, our brigade is still waiting for the brick money to buy pigs."

Secretary Duan sighed in embarrassment, You are short of money to buy pigs, the commune is in deficit, and the whole commune is in a complementary relationship, and we need to work together to tide over the difficulties.

Zhao Xinshan couldn't laugh, but the commune had no money, what could it do?

Of course, the Commune is definitely not kidnapping you. Secretary Duan discussed with the two of them, The commune can compensate you for your losses in other ways, if you have any ideas, you can mention them, the commune can be satisfied, try to be satisfied.

Zhao Xinshan looked at Zhao Ke and asked her opinion with his eyes.

Zhao Ke recalled the words of the first secretary and asked: The commune built a sauerkraut factory, but it was not contracted to the collective construction team in the county?

Secretary Duan was stunned, No, the commune intends to hire locally. While saving money, local farmers can earn money by doing odd jobs. It's just that the Commune is more troublesome.

Since the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, who earns is not earning? The Zhao Cun'er Brigade is also a member of the Shuangshan Commune. Zhao Ke put forward her idea: "Then let our brigade contract to build a sauerkraut factory." ”

Will your brigade be able to meet the building requirements of the commune?

Zhao Ke said without hesitation: Yes.

With her words, Secretary Duan immediately agreed, Yes, but the money has to be settled after the autumn harvest. He said yes too quickly.

It's like bargaining, the seller asks her to say a price, she says, the other party agrees too quickly, it will make her feel that it can be cheaper, a little bit of a loss.

Zhao Ke frowned slightly, and then mentioned: "The number of workers in the sauerkraut factory, our brigade also needs a few."

Secretary Duan once again readily agreed: "Yes, but

It's that the sauerkraut factory needs fewer workers, and your brigade can only account for one-fifth of them at most

One.

Zhao Ke: ......

In fact, it was normal to settle the payment at the end of the year, and they didn't lose anything. But Zhao Ke just didn't have a trace of joy in making a bargain. Secretary Duan asked: "Do you have any other requirements from your brigade?"

Zhao Ke didn't speak, Zhao Xinshan stopped in moderation, No, we can't make the commune too difficult. Secretary Duan was very pleased, Then sign a contract, which is a constraint and guarantee for both of us. Zhao Xinshan agreed, okay.

Are you all right? Is it here to discuss the details of the contract, or to go ahead and do things first? Zhao Kedao: "We still have to go to the county, come back in two days, and come back to the commune."

Buying pigs?

Be.

Secretary Duan didn't ask them how to buy it, Since you are busy, I won't give it to you.

Zhao Ke and Zhao Xinshan left.

Shi sat on the tractor, watching the two of them enter easily, and came out expressionlessly, puzzled: "Captain, Director Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xinshan was helpless, and directly told us that the brick money was on credit, so we had to make such a detour......

Zhao Ke knew it in his heart.

Directly say that you can't give money, how uncomfortable it is, know it first, move it with emotion, it is not easy to have estrangement, and it does not affect your work.

She hadn't done that before.

Zhao Xinshan said again: "How do I feel that Secretary Duan is waiting for you to put forward conditions?" Let's just say what's uncomfortable.

The advantage she took advantage of by her own ability and what others fed her are two different flavors. Zhao Ke silently stepped onto the tractor.

Zhao Xinshan sat on the wind shield and asked: Do you still want to buy pigs? The rest of the brigade's money, after buying the pigs, there is really nothing left. Zhao Ke is categorical, buy!

It's a big deal, she also has the cheekiness to go to the pig farm on credit!

It's all acquaintances.
