Eleven, light and darkness

In the village committee office.

Dong Datian frowned and the corners of his mouth tightened. He knew from the look that he had encountered something difficult again.

The reason is this:

As soon as Dong Datian entered the office door in the morning, accountant Li Jianming handed him a letter, which read:

Uncle Datian: The migrant workers building the reservoir have been at the reservoir construction site for almost a month. It is really hard and tiring at the reservoir construction site. The food is not very good and the mood of the migrant workers is very unstable. Following Secretary Chen’s instructions, please be sure to send three gifts to the reservoir construction site.

One hundred catties of fine grain are provided to meet the necessities of migrant workers. ——Li Minqiang

Dong Datian knew in his heart that the fine grain mentioned in the letter was white flour, but there was no wheat flour in the village! Dong Datian scratched his head with his big hand and said, "It's really troublesome!"

Wang Wensi came in with a small black cigarette holder in his mouth, glanced at Dong Datian, sat aside and asked, "What happened again?"

"Look, I've only been there less than a month ago...just take a look!" He said and handed the letter to Wang Wensi.

Wang Wensi said while receiving the letter: "I heard from others that the progress of the project is not slow!"

“Eat, drink and have fun all day long!”

Wang Wensi read the letter and said: "Since Minqiang wrote to ask for it, why do you think we have to send it to you?"

Dong Datian glared: "Send it! A well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a man is, and he can stand and talk without pain in his back. What they want is white flour. White flour! White flour! Wherever I can get it for them!"

Wang Wensi lowered his head and said softly: "The government allocates food per person, how can it not be enough to eat? Alas, I really have no words to do things. Taking people out to do things is just like living at home. I plan carefully and keep food and oil.

It’s useless if you don’t have a little bit of calculation power!”

Dong Datian walked around the room impatiently.

Wang Wensi saw that Dong Datian was already angry at the house, but his face did not show that he was happy, so I added more fuel to the fire. He put the small black cigarette holder in his mouth and took two puffs and said: "This is really quite good."

It’s difficult. You say the food at the construction site is good, but some people still don’t want to be there and ask for a shift change.”

"Shift change! Who did you listen to?" Dong Datian's eyes widened.

When Wang Wensi asked him who said it, he was a little embarrassed. If he randomly proposed a person as a scapegoat, it would be troublesome if he went to that person's house to ask clearly about his fiery temper, because there was no such thing.

He said vaguely: "If you ask me who said it, I didn't take it to heart. I just heard some people choking together." In order to make Dong Datian believe what he said, he said one last thing.

, "There is no smoke without fire, and the news has not come from the construction site."

Dong Datian said angrily: "If you still don't want to do it after three meals a day, I've really confused them. Anyone who doesn't want to do it can just come back and I'll do it!"

Wang Wensi smiled and said: "Look, it's no use just saying angry words! One person is in charge of eating for a thousand people, and there are more than a thousand people in our village. There are all kinds of people, good and bad, you have to do it."

Don’t worry, how can the village be without the head of the family like you?"

"I can't own this family and I can't manage it. Whoever has the ability can do it."

"Look at what you said, if you can't do it, who can do it in Shagang Village? They all thought that Minqiang could help you when he came back, but they didn't expect to do it on the reservoir... Oh, I really didn't expect it. The old man in the village

Xiao Xiao, I don’t think anyone has enough material except you. You are the center of the circle in our village, and we are all the radius. No matter how big the radius is, it has to revolve around you, the center of the circle, so you can quit that job."

Dong Datian glanced at Wang Wensi without saying a word.

Wang Wensi continued: "Building the reservoir is an important project in the county, and I'm afraid it has also been registered in the province. How can we not make a show of it? This is our county's first shot at realizing farmland irrigation. Who can

Can you support it? In my opinion, even if you are trying to sell iron, you have to give it away."

Dong Datian glared and said angrily: "You really don't have to worry about breaking your teeth when talking. Smash the pot! Then smash your pot first and let me see. Who doesn't know how to say nice things?"

Dong Datian's strong words made Wang Wensi breathless. He opened his mouth a few times before he said one sentence: "Looking at what you said, weren't I using an analogy?" Then he patted his chest and said, "

If it really comes to that, I will not hesitate even if I lose my head, not to mention smashing the pot. I am not talking nonsense, I have been educated by the party for so many years and I still have some awareness!"

When Dong Datian heard this, he knew that he had gone too far and made the other party unhappy. He did not say anything for a while, but just smoked a suffocating cigarette.

Wang Wensi originally wanted to use a few words to attract Dong Datian's attention to what he said, but when he saw that the other party was silent and became bored, he was a little anxious, but he couldn't show it, so he gently put the cigarette butt in the black cigarette holder.

Popped it out, put the cigarette holder to his mouth again, blew on it, and said, "If we were in Liuzhuang, there wouldn't be any problems with this matter."

As soon as Dong Datian heard this, he picked up the fight and asked: "What's going on?"

Wang Wensi put a cigarette holder in his pocket and said casually: "Why, isn't this an obvious thing? I have a rich family and plenty of money, but why are I worried about not being able to buy wheat in the free market?"

When Dong Datian heard this, he sighed and said, "What's the use of saying this! Now that the land and fruit trees have been contracted to individuals, the money for building schools in the village is not enough even if it is moved here and there. Where can we make it difficult?"

There is still money to buy wheat."

When Wang Wensi saw what the other party said, he quickly took up the topic and said: "If you don't contract it to an individual, just by chewing those acres of dirt at home, no matter how hard you work, you will still be as thick and long, and there won't be any big ones."

Development. Mr. Liu Zhuangfu, do you think that money comes from the crop fields? How much can you earn by serving sesame seeds and pouring broth on the crop fields? A pound of grain is only RMB 80 cents. How much is left after removing costs and expenses? Humans cannot

Even if you choke to death, you have to find some way to make money like Liu Zhuang did."

"The fiberglass fiber reinforced plastic factory in the village is contracted to an individual, so how can we get the money?"

"You can't suffocate yourself to death. If you don't have a fiberglass factory, you can still find other ways."

"What connections do you have?"

Wang Wensi saw that the other party was interested in what he said, so he stood up from the stool and said: "Chickens don't pee, each has his own way." I met Liu San from Liuzhuang at the market and started talking, you

Guess what people say? People are not afraid of not having money, but they are afraid of being incompetent. People make money by eating and drinking delicious food. They make money by transporting people. Don’t say three hundred catties of wheat, it’s three thousand catties.

Thirty thousand kilograms is no problem."

When Dong Datian heard this, the wrinkles on his face spread. Wang Wensi saw that Dong Datian was moved, and thought: I have to get him to take the bait, so she made a move to leave.

When Dong Datian saw that Wang Wensi was about to leave, he quickly stood up and said, "Oh, don't leave in a hurry!"

Wang Wensi sat on the original stool again, took out a small black cigarette holder from his pocket and put a cigarette in it, then put it in his mouth and lit it while waiting to hear Dong Datian's next words.

Dong Datian smiled and said with a pleading tone: "You have been a cadre in our village for many years. You have also worked outside. You have many acquaintances and are considered a capable person in our Shagang Village. Can you also give me some help?" Are we looking for ways to make some money in our village?"

Wang Wensi shook his head and said, "I've thought about this too, but I can't do it."

"What?"

"Have you forgotten that a few years ago, I led others to work in the construction team to earn money. I didn't earn much money, but I was labeled as doing evil things. What happened to me after working so hard for everyone? Zhu Bajie When you look in the mirror, you're not a human being inside and out! Why bother? It's enough to suffer a loss once." After saying that, he raised his butt and started to leave.

Dong Datian said in a comforting tone: "It's true that I was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years. You just said that your head would be dry if you dropped it, but you would be scared if someone just said a few gossips and gave some opinions? Looking at it now, at that time The opinions I gave you were a bit like burning cotton-padded jackets for lice and making a fuss out of a molehill. Besides, you were making money then for personal pockets, but this time you are making money for the sake of the village. They are two different things!"

Wang Wensi didn't say anything after hearing this, but he was happy in his heart. What I wanted was said by this tofu-brained person with brine in his forehead. He took a puff of cigarette, flicked the ash with his middle finger, and spoke slowly Said: "I'm not afraid of this, I've thought about it. The money I earn is for the construction of the village and to contribute to the modernization of the countryside. But there are just a few people who are looking for trouble with glasses! You Put honey in his mouth and bite your fingers. Besides, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."

Dong Datian couldn't hold back his anger and said: "Oh, if there is any way, just tell me quickly! Don't be afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger in the back."

Wang Wensi said: "Chickens have their own ways of peeing and not peeing. They rely on mountains to eat, rely on water to drink water, and rely on big trees to have no shortage of firewood. We can't starve with pancakes on our pillows and beg for food with golden bowls. We in the village Trees are resources, why not use them?”

"You mean selling trees?"

Wang Wensi smiled slightly and said: "As soon as I chop a few trees and send them to the county wood processing factory, won't the money come in? Although this is for water conservancy construction, I'm also afraid..."

Dong Datian waved his big hand and said: "What are you afraid of? We won't plant crops if there are crickets screaming! We cut down the old trees and plant new saplings. Besides, there are so many trees in our village, it won't be easy to cut down a few. You won't find out. You should contact the county woodworks factory immediately and see if they have anything to do. I'll take care of it out of your way. This is also for water conservancy construction."

Wang Wensi was as happy as if he had won a big prize in the lottery. He stood up from the stool and said, "I feel relieved with your words." After saying that, he put the letter into his pocket without Dong Datian's attention and left.

Dong Datian stopped him again: "You have to hurry up. In addition, you tell Yongchang to temporarily borrow some wheat from the villagers, and after selling the trees, buy back the wheat and return it to them."
Chapter completed!
