Chapter 31 The old man on the side (2)

Xitang is an ancient town to the west of Anhai, close to Yanjiang District in Lingzhou City.

Han Xiaowu has never been there, let alone any acquaintances there. The "acquaintances" I just mentioned are actually Zhang Xiaoyun, the deputy mayor of the returnee who only met once.

I felt that there was no need to rush to add someone else’s WeChat before, but now I have something to ask for, so I can only ask the other party to add friends in the group with shamelessness.

The verification was sent, but I waited for three or four minutes but failed. I was not sure whether I was busy or ignored it directly.

Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Thinking that the old man was leaving early tomorrow morning, Han Xiaowu simply put aside his little self-esteem, tagged Mayor Zhang in the small group, and simply "reported" the whole story with words. He thought about taking a few more photos and posting them to the group.

"There are several Anhai villages in Xijiang. Last time I heard from someone from Suzhong Company that they have projects there, and the project manager seems to have visited you twice."

Mayor Zhang still didn't move, but President Mei was talking in the group.

Han Xiaowu quickly typed and added: "The old man who came back to look for his relatives said the same thing. He said that a boss who was engaged in engineering drove to visit them, saying that they would not have to worry about food and drink now, but they were old and became increasingly thinking about their hometown."

"Whether the leaves fall back to their roots, homesickness is a common human nature. If it were me, I would like to think about it!" Mr. Huang, the Shenghui Machinery, agreed.

After reading the information above, Chu Chanjuan directly sent a voice message: "Xiaowu, this old man insists on leaving tomorrow? Can you persuade him to change his ticket?"

"He wants to go back to his hometown every day in Xijiang, but when he comes back, he wants his home in Xijiang and his children and grandchildren. Besides, the ticket was bought by his cousin's grandson-in-law for him to buy it online. Even if he changes the ticket, he must contact his cousin's grandson-in-law first."

Vice Minister Ye also saw the group chat and thought for a moment and entered a line of text: Chanjuan, Mayor Zhang may be busy and did not pay attention to looking at his phone. Please help contact the United Front Committee of Xiaxitang Town, ask him to call the village and ask the village cadres to go and ask him to help ask."

"Okay, I'll contact you now."

"Tell them that this is also a united front work."

"clear!"

Once the leader spoke, things were much easier.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Chu Chanjuan sent a mobile phone number and then called: "I sent the number to you. The village cadres found the old lady's house, but the old lady still couldn't remember the mobile phone number of her grandson-in-law. Fortunately, the old lady's family was careful in doing things and left a telephone number for the old lady, and wrote all the contact information of the family on it."

"Thank you, leader, I'll contact the old lady's grandson-in-law."

"etc."

"Leader, what instructions do you have?"

"Deputy Secretary-General Han, you said yesterday that you will be my little follower from now on, but just one day has passed, you will assign tasks to me, or the kind of "handling immediately". Touch your conscience and say, who are the ones who are the ones?"

"Of course I am your little follower! Leader, I really don't plan to bother you..."

"No kidding, hurry up and help the old man find relatives!"

"Yes, thank you, leader."

Han Xiaowu called the mobile phone number sent by the United Front sister, and the answer was indeed the old lady's grandson-in-law. The other party figured out the whole story and kept expressing gratitude, and then busy contacting the old man's nephew.

In fact, the old man's nephew was waiting for Grandpa Tang at home, but his family lived in Building 18 and usually entered and exited from the north gate. I didn't know that Grandpa Tang had arrived at the east gate of the community, and even made the onlookers sigh.

When he received the call, he hurried downstairs and rushed to the gate, took the old man's bag, and kept apologizing. He was afraid that Han Xiaowu and the onlookers would misunderstand that he was not concerned about this matter, so he explained with a bitter face: "I took a day off specially. I originally planned to go to Xitang to pick up my third grandfather, but he refused to let him go over and insisted on taking the bus. He said that there was a phone call and contacted me when he arrived at the gate of the community. As a result, he didn't say he was suffering from it himself, and he also bothered everyone to worry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Young people have to go to work, and I have nothing to do. I just want to take a look and then leave. I am neither deaf nor blind. This time I came back from Xijiang alone, didn't I find my cousin? Besides, there is only a little road from Xitang to the city. How can I let the children pick them up?" Seeing the nephew who is closest to blood, the old man was excited again. He held his nephew's hand tightly and cried again.

"I know, you don't want to cause trouble for the kids."

"Thank you, you are all great people, I'll bow to you."

"No, don't, don't do this."

"Yes, they are all from my hometown, what's there to thank for?"

Watching his grandparents and grandchildren helping him into the community, Han Xiaowu then found that his face was wet, afraid of being laughed at, so he quickly took out a tissue to wipe it dry. Looking back, he saw that the residents who were watching the fun had not yet dispersed and were about to ask who had never filled in the questionnaire for the creation of a civilized city, a strange local mobile phone number came in.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Xiaowu, I am Zhang Xiaoyun, Xitang Town! Sorry, I was in a meeting just now, and I didn't look at my phone or reply in time. When I saw the information in the group, I was about to call the village. Chanjuan said in the group that she had contacted me."

"Mayor Zhang, I should be sorry for me. Even though I know you are busy, I still bother you for this little thing."

"Don't be surprised. What's the trouble with a phone call? Besides, Minister Ye said that this is also a united front work. But today it's really a coincidence. When you added me and asked me, I was talking at the venue and didn't help. Sorry."

"Mayor Zhang, you..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We will see you on Friday night and we will talk more about it later."

"Okay, you're busy first."

...

Hang up the phone number of the deputy mayor from overseas returnees and do the job.

It is said that "the eyes of the masses are sharp", and this is not false at all.

I just helped send a few WeChat messages and made a few phone calls, which was a slap. But in the eyes of the onlookers, it seemed like a great thing. I asked the old men and aunts to help fill out the questionnaire for the creation of a culture. Not only did they not disgust, but they were more active and enthusiastic, even offered to take one back to fill in the neighbors who had not filled it out. After filling it out, they would help take it back and hand it over to the building manager.

Han Xiaowu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. After thanking him, he struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Aunt Wang, do you know whose family grows the vegetables in the flower bed in front of Building No. 6?"

"I know, all the old neighbors know, but this matter is not easy to say."

"Why is it hard to say?"

Aunt Wang looked back and squeezed out a mysterious smile: "Xiao Han, you will know how many times you deal with that old lady. That old lady is stubborn. None of us old neighbors dares to provoke her!"

"Where are her children?"

"She lives alone normally, her son is in another place, and her daughter seems to be in Anhai. I don't know where to live."

"I understand, thank you Aunt Wang."

"I didn't help much, I have anything to thank for. It's time for me to go back and cook."

"Goodbye Aunt Wang."

The elder of the building, Zhang, knew very well. The old lady was a difficult bone to crack. She accompanied Han Xiaowu to the parking shed and gave him a vaccination: "Xiao Han, if it really doesn't work, it's fine. Anhai is so big and there are so many places to check, so she may not come to us."

Han Xiaowu took out the car keys and turned around and said, "The inspection team and the inspection team above may not necessarily come to us, but the inspection teams in the streets and the city will definitely come, and they will come to inspect many times."

"But this matter is really difficult to deal with. After all, isn't it just about growing some vegetables in the flower bed? What a big deal!"

"Uncle Zhang, I understand what you mean. I am also afraid that it will cause conflicts by making a big deal, but I don't have to say this. Creating a civilized city is now the top priority in the city. I just came here and have no say. But the directors and the others said that the city has been busy for two years to create a civilized city. I don't know how much manpower, financial resources and energy have been invested. If there is something wrong here and we are not able to be named a national civilized city, so many people, including Director Zhang, Xu Dongmei and Qian Yumin, will it be in vain?"

Lao Zhang asked in a low voice: "According to what you said, this dish must be pulled out."
