Chapter 51 The Lunatic Building the Road (4)
"Are the drawings in Liu Gong's hands?"
"It's in the hands of Master Liu." Speaking of the drawings, Township Mayor Gao was full of bitterness. He said: "Engineer Liu is good at doing work. Don't be careful when he is an intellectual. He does things well and doesn't pay. No matter what good things he says, he just won't give the drawings. We went to Qinglin Township several times and didn't keep our word, so he was even more careful."
The town party committee and government agreed to build roads, which made Hou Weidong feel confident, and the problem of drawings was even more difficult. He said: "People always talk about feeling emotions. Engineer Liu is an intellectual. As long as he is sincere, he will definitely open up the gold and stone."
Hou Weidong wanted to start work on the spot. He said to the township chief Gao, who was still gasping for breath, "Captain Gao, we won't go up the mountain. It's still early anyway, so I'll just go to the city to find Engineer Liu."
Township Mayor Gao was amused and crying, "Brother Hou, you really want to exhaust your brother. I have a heart disease, so how dare you compare with you young people? Besides, Engineer Liu has been on the construction site for a long time and rarely is in the office. If you didn't agree in advance, you will probably be disappointed."
What Mayor Gao said was indeed reasonable, so Hou Weidong did not insist and followed him back to Qinglinchang Town.
In the evening, he went to Tiebingsheng's home and finished teaching the course. He finally couldn't help but tell the good news that the Party Committee and the government agreed to build the road.
Tie Ruiqing said happily: "Teacher Hou, when will the road be repaired? After the road is repaired, will the bus be opened? My mother goes to the city to purchase goods, so she doesn't have to hire a horse helper at the foot of the mountain?"
The horse gang seems to be a legend a long time ago, but because Shangqinglin Township does not have highways and when it comes to house repairs, transportation becomes a problem. Therefore, the horse gang has become a major feature of Shangqinglin Township.
Hou Weidong said proudly: "Of course, when the road is connected, there will be drastic changes in Shangqinglinchang Town, and the outside world will bring in a lot of advanced things."
In Qinglin Town Junior High School, Tie Ruiqing was the only one who was admitted to Yiyang No. 1 Middle School. After she arrived in the city, her clothes, uses, and play were all incompatible with her classmates. For this reason, she was blunt and her self-esteem was greatly hurt. She was a strong girl, and the grievances she suffered in the city were deeply buried in her heart. She won her due respect by studying hard and improving her grades.
Therefore, she felt deeply distressed about the closure of her hometown, and she couldn't help but jump when she heard the news of building a road.
Tiebingsheng's reaction was quite similar to that of the village cadres. He thought to himself: "Hou Weidong is a college student, has a good level of education, and is also good at dealing with people and things, but when he arrived in Qinglin Town, he didn't even sit on the hot side and wanted to build a road. It was really fantastic." Tiebingsheng reads history well and has insight into the world. He dares not look down on a newborn calf like Hou Weidong, because many things in the world were created by Qingtou Qing. A mature person thinks about it and is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and it is not easy to create miracles.
"How much is the town planning to pay for this road construction? The town is very nervous and owes the teacher three months' salary. Where can I get the money to build the road?"
Money is courage, clothes are faces, and Tiebingsheng is the principal of the primary school, but without money in his hands, he cannot keep good teachers of high quality, teaching facilities cannot be improved, and many good ideas and ideas cannot be implemented. Therefore, when he heard about building roads, his first idea was money.
"Master Qin asked us to start construction first. When the town's economy is abundant next year, we will use rewards instead of compensation. In order to build roads, the town has set up a leadership group with Mayor Su as the team leader." Hou Weidong concluded: "The town still attaches great importance to the construction of roads."
Tie Bingsheng looked at Hou Weidong's expression and did not want to expose him. He sighed in his heart and said, "I don't know when this road will be repaired."
The next day, Hou Weidong arrived in Dushi Village and told the two village cadres about the matter.
Hearing that the town didn't pay a penny, Qin Dajiang cursed, "Those bastards in the town just know how to collect money and do nothing. In order to promote double-three feet, they can give out 50,000 yuan as a reward. Agricultural technology, huh, we old farmers have planted land for decades, and we still need to teach the town. This money is a waste and can be used to build roads."
Director Jiang said in a muffled voice: "We will not hand over the coordination of the tuition this year, and we will not leave the accumulation work and volunteer work. We will use it to build the road and see what the town says."
Secretary Qin said excitedly: "I won't pay all the money this year. I'm just a farmer. At worst, I won't be the secretary."
Hou Weidong did not expect the two of them to be so excited. He did not know the attitude of the town towards accumulation and volunteer work. However, from their words, he realized that accumulation and volunteer work must be very important to the town. He hurriedly advised: "Secretary Qin, Director Jiang, don't be angry. Secretary Zhao and Mayor Qin both support us in building the road. As long as the construction starts, they will always find a way. The most important thing now is to start construction."
Qin Dajiang was so powerful that he had a big head and a thick waist. He raised his head and said, "If you don't take a penny, is it a support? Support a hammer."
Hou Weidong was a little embarrassed.
In order to be much more loyal, Director Jiang sniffed his head for a while and said, "Old Qin, do you think this matter is still correct?"
Qin Dajiang vented his anger and sat down next to Director Jiang in a depressed manner.
Hou Weidong Road: "Building a highway is not high-tech. We don't lay cement roads, it's mainly based on labor. I think this highway can be built. If you two give up, you don't know when this road can be repaired."
The two village cadres still sat down without saying a word.
Hou Weidong asked, "Whether you two can tell me whether to build a road or not."
Qin Dajiang raised his head and said, "Hou Dao, it's not your business, why are you in a hurry?"
Building a road is Hou Weidong's self-salvation, and he made up his mind in front of the secretary and the mayor. He spoke too much, like an arrow from a string, and could not be taken back at all. Seeing the appearance of the two, he said angrily: "I am really the emperor and the eunuchs are anxious. No wonder they have not been able to build a road for decades. The men who go to Qinglin are all cowards. When encountering difficulties, they only know how to escape and talk. You give up, and the turtle son will mention the matter of building a road in the future."
Qin Dajiang held his head in both hands, thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Hou has made sense. This time we can't give up. If we build roads, we don't build roads!"
"Old Jiang, you and Tang Guiyuan are classmates, so you go to work in Jianshan Village. I go to find Zeng Xiangang from Wangri Village. As long as Jianshan and Wangri work can be done, we will start to act." Qin Dajiang looked rough on the outside but had a fine inside. He glanced at Hou Weidong and threw a problem to him, "Hou Weidong, you and Engineer Liu are both intellectuals. I will leave the drawings to you. Let's work together to strive to start construction in early September and to pull out the road lines in November."
Hou Weidong agreed immediately, "Okay, leave this matter to me. I will be responsible for the drawings, and you will be responsible for the organization."
Having reached a consensus with the two village cadres of Dushi Village, Hou Weidong had a simple meal in the village, and before he could drink, he returned to Shangqinglinchang Town.
The screen door in the sky in Gaoxiang was closed, probably taking a nap. Hou Weidong originally wanted to knock on the door, but he thought it was not appropriate, so he went downstairs and opened the office. Seeing that there was a lot of dust on the table, he brought a bucket of water, wiped it carefully with a rag, and then swept the ground clean. Then he looked at the newly arrived People's Daily in the office for a while. After the establishment of the postal agency, the newspaper was very timely. The People's Daily was at most four or five days in the evening, and before it was a half-monthly newspaper.
At around three o'clock, he finally heard the voice of the Township Mayor Gao. Hou Weidong put down the newspaper in his hand and ran upstairs.
"Captain Gao, do you have a phone call from Engineer Liu? Let's call Engineer Liu and make an appointment with him for a date."
The head of Gaoxiang slept with sweat. He looked at Hou Weidong, who was also sweating profusely and said, "I have no money when I see Engineer Liu, and I still can't get the drawings."
"Captain Gao, just call one. If you can get the drawings, you have to try it."
"Brother Hou, you are really good at scheming. OK, okay, I'll look for a phone book, which should have the phone number of Engineer Liu."
Liu Dingjiang was making pictures in the engineering department of the county transportation bureau. Suddenly the phone rang. He answered the phone and heard that it was the township leader Gao, and said, "Captain Gao, when will I give me the money? In order to make pictures, I have worked hard and paid. Two years ago, Town Lord Gao, you should pay the money."
