"Don't provide us with water?" Wang Zhong said disdainfully: "How dare he!"

Then he said calmly: "When the spring irrigation is over, I will write a report letter. All the folks in Jintan Village, who are over eighteen years old and who are at home, will sign it, stamp their fingerprints, and hand in the letter.

, I don’t believe that no one can cure that person named Chen.”

"Wang Zhong, don't be impulsive. Since the water station has already provided water, there is no need for us to make the matter worse!" Ma Defu excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhong's hand.

Wang Zhong didn't struggle and let him catch him: "This is not called making trouble, this is called exercising our own rights."

"Let me ask you, how much effort and time you and Director Zhang put into mobilizing the villagers to come here to visit the village. Throughout the year, I have never seen you and Director Zhang take a few days off."

"It's okay now. The immigration project to Diaozhuang is still in progress. Something like this happened. Tell me, if this matter is not handled well, how will you mobilize the folks from Xihaigu to come here to Diaozhuang in the future?

?”

"Even when I water the fields, I have to make things difficult, and I have to go to the big leaders to help solve the problem. If those villagers who haven't come here yet hear about this, they will

Do you still dare to come to Diaozhuang? Will they still believe what you say to block Jiangnan’s future?"

Ma Defu said anxiously: "This is just an example. I will report it to the district chief and others when I get back. I promise that something like this will never happen again."

Wang Zhong looked at Ma Defu, sighed, and shook his head: "Defu, you are a staff member of the development zone office. You can talk to the leaders, but what about us ordinary people?"

"I know that you and Director Zhang, the leaders of the county, the staff of the Development Zone Office, Director Wu of the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group, and County Magistrate Chen Jinshan, all of you are dedicated to the common people.

I do everything because I want the villagers to live a good life as soon as possible."

"But do you dare to say that this is the only person like this stupid webmaster named Chen?"

Facing Wang Zhong's question, Ma Defu really didn't know how to refute.

He wanted to argue, but reality deprived him of the confidence to argue.

Ma Defu was even defeated by Wang Zhong's upright eyes. He lowered his head and missed Wang Zhong's gaze.

"I just want to tell those people who like to be short-tongued, abuse their power, and let their personal preferences run wild. Although we are just the most ordinary people, we are not dough to be kneaded by others. I also believe that people like these

He is a scumbag and just a few black sheep. I believe even more that the country will deal with it impartially and give us justice and an answer."

Ma Defu remained silent for a long time after listening to Wang Zhong's inspiring words.

Wang Zhong suddenly raised his hand and patted Ma Defu on the shoulder, saying with emotion: "But Defu, we can't let one or two rat droppings ruin the good porridge of Diaozhuang Immigrants!"

After hearing this, Ma Defu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong, his mouth opened, but he didn't spit out a single word.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong continued: "We not only have to consider the interests and harms, but also weigh the importance."

"There is an old saying that goes: The lesser of two evils is better. Compared with the major event of emigrating to Diaozhuang, which is related to the future of thousands of poor families living in the mountains and valleys, one or two like this

Are black sheep really that important?"

"Tell me, if there hadn't been this on-site meeting this time, the big leaders wouldn't have been there, and if there hadn't been Section Chief Lei who stepped forward, do you think you would have been able to persuade that stupid webmaster named Chen?"

"The wheat seedlings in the folks' fields are almost drying up. Let alone one day's delay, if you delay one more hour or one minute, you don't know how many wheat seedlings will never be saved.

If the Spring Festival irrigation is late this time, who will lose the villagers? The water station? The stationmaster named Chen? Or the country?"

"Okay, okay, stop talking!" Ma Defu finally couldn't remain silent any longer, "I promise you that's all!"

Wang Zhong grinned and said: "How about you write this report letter? You truthfully write the whole story of this incident in the letter. I'm afraid that if I write it, I will bring some subjective wishes into it."

"As for the folks, if you knew that the person who reported the report was the webmaster named Chen, I believe everyone would be happy to sign and fingerprint it."

Ma Defu: "·······"

Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, Ma Defu also knows in his heart that what Wang Zhong said is the truth.

On the other side, the mayor of Qingtongxia City, who was very fond of Ma Defu, immediately asked the director of water conservancy to solve the matter and make sure that the people's fields were watered as soon as possible.

The water conservancy director grabbed station manager Chen and scolded him, and then called the water station in front of the mayor.

After a few words, the water conservancy director immediately changed his expression, deliberately raised his voice into the microphone, and said loudly: "Okay! You have done well and can make prompt decisions. That is a good job. It is not too late for me to praise you, so why punish you!"

"What's wrong?" The mayor frowned and looked at the director of water conservancy who looked happy.

A smile appeared on the face of the water conservancy director: "Mayor, half an hour ago, Chief Lei Henglei of the Chengguan Water Yangtze Station learned that the land in Jintan Village had not been watered today, so he immediately arranged manpower to provide water to Jintan Village.

Tan Village has opened the sluice to release water! The fields in Jintan Village should have been watered by now."

"Section chief? Lei Heng?" The mayor's frown gradually relaxed, and he looked at the director of water conservancy with some surprise and said, "It seems that there are still sensible people in the Chengguan water pumping station."

"Humph!" He groaned as he spoke, and glanced at the ugly-faced stationmaster Chen next to him, his eyes slightly cold.

"Unlike some comrades, they forget their roots when they have some power!" The mayor was born in the hard times and has served in many places in Ningxia. He naturally understands that for the common people, spring irrigation means nothing more than the crops in the fields.

In terms of how important it is.

Especially now that we are in the spring drought season, the crops in the fields are waiting for water to survive.

Upon seeing this, the Director of Water Resources immediately said: "Although Jintan Village has been demarcated from our Qingtong Gorge, the third-level water pumping station at Yuquanying has not been repaired. Our water station has the responsibility and obligation to help Jintan Village.

The villagers have finished filling the water."

"This matter is my negligence, I will review it!" The water conservancy director's attitude was extremely upright.

"Director, Mayor, I..." Stationmaster Chen just wanted to defend himself, but the words were already on his lips, but he didn't know how to explain.

Are you saying that you didn't mean it? Or that you were just angry for a moment and wanted to let those stupid old guys know how powerful they are?

No matter how you explain it, you can't hide the fact that he collected water for irrigation last winter and promised to provide water to Jintan Village, but in fact the water he released was not even enough to cover the top of the feet.

"Okay! You don't need to explain, the facts are in front of you, I can see it, the mayor and the leaders and comrades present can see it!" the water conservancy director scolded angrily.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Director, I..."

"What are you!" the water conservancy director said angrily: "The country gave you the management of the water pumping station, and this is how you manage it? Although Jintan Village is separated from our Qingtongxia, our Qingtongxia is also its natal home.

, have you ever seen any family that, after marrying off their daughter, never takes care of her again?"

"How come Chief Lei knows how important spring irrigation is and how he knows how to ask people to open the gate and release water first to solve the urgent need of Jintan Village!"

"······"

All the people attending the on-site meeting subconsciously distanced themselves from the water station manager.

Before he knew it, he had become a loner.

In the evening, Ma Defu drafted a report letter all night, firstly for the smooth progress of the diaozhuang resettlement project, secondly to appease the villagers of Jintan Village, and thirdly to support what Wang Zhong and the villagers said about Chief Lei who ordered the opening of the gate and the release of water.

.

Although Defu guessed that Chief Lei was not who Wang Zhong said, it was because he couldn't stand what Station Master Chen did and chose to let his subordinates open the floodgates. Otherwise, why would Chief Lei

Instead of asking people to open the floodgates and release water immediately after Station Master Chen went to attend the on-site meeting, he did so after he took the villagers to the water station to ask for an explanation.

After the spring irrigation, the whole village meeting was held again. There were more than 80 households and more than 400 people. Although there were a few hesitants, seeing that everyone chose to sign, they didn’t say anything. Anyone over the age of 18

, all signed the paper and pressed their fingerprints.

At the meeting, under Wang Zhong's suggestion, the whole village collected another 28,000 yuan, plus Wang Zhong's 60,000 yuan, and Ma Defu took it and went to the water station to pay.

As for the report letter, Ma Defu did not take it to Qingtongxia City. Instead, he went straight to the development zone office and handed the letter to District Chief Wang of the development zone, his immediate boss.

One day two months later, Wang Zhong received a call from the water station. Lei Heng's voice came from the phone.

"Stationmaster Chen has been transferred and demoted. Thanks to Comrade Wang, I am now the acting stationmaster of the water station."

"Then we should call Stationmaster Lei now, congratulations," Wang Zhong and Lei Heng said politely.

"It's an agent, it's just an agent!" Although he said it modestly, what came over the phone was Lei Heng's hearty and somewhat proud laughter.

"One more thing. Comrade Wang's problem with the high water supply costs for last year's winter irrigation and this year's spring irrigation has been reported to the above, and I have also discussed it with the leaders of your Yuquan camp. The meaning above is very clear. In your Yuquan camp,

Before the three-level water pumping station was built, all the irrigation water in Jintan Village came from our Chengguan water pumping station. However, the water prices were set too high the first two times. From now on, all irrigation water on your farm will be charged.

Just like other villagers in Jintan Village."

"That's a good feeling! Then I'm here to thank Stationmaster Lei!" Wang Zhong also said with a smile.

"Serving the people is our duty!" You can hear Lei Heng's happiness just from his tone.

Then Lei Heng's voice on the phone changed: "This matter is quite a big deal. According to our director, even a director of your Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group named Wu has asked about it, but the overcharged funds are now gone."

It can't be taken back anymore.

On our side, after several meetings and repeated discussions, the bureau finally decided to provide Comrade Wang’s farm with free water for winter irrigation this year and spring irrigation next year. Even if it is compensation for the two previous high charges, I don’t know what Comrade Wang thinks of this solution.

What’s the plan?”

"I obey the organization's arrangements!" Wang Zhong said without hesitation.

"Then it's settled. If Comrade Wang is free one day, come to our water station and we'll sign a contract in black and white. Comrade Wang can rest assured!"

Ouch! This old boy is pretty good!

Wang Zhong's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "Okay, okay, I'll do it at any time, depending on when Webmaster Lei is free."

"In that case, let's do it tomorrow afternoon! It will be done at three or four in the afternoon!"

"Okay! Then three o'clock in the afternoon."

······

Wang Zhong put down his cell phone, the smile on his face gradually faded, he walked back to Ling Yinong and asked: "Professor, how are you?"
