Chapter 118 A dead end
Conan felt very strange and a little surprised. Did the thief appear? Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "What steel bar?"
"He pulled the steel bars in the warehouse home. Everyone who helped him saw it," said Jia Youniu.
"He, who is he?" Ji Conan asked.
"Who else is Jia Caifu." said Jia Youniu.
"Really? No one reported it? It's okay to report the case. Has anyone called the police?" Yoon Hyun-in asked.
"Report? Call the police? No." Jia Youniu said.
"Why not?" Conan asked.
"It's useless. They took the World Bank project publicly to their homes. Some villagers reported it, but the report was not completed. The report letter was returned to them and they took the opportunity to retaliate. Jia's financial order was very large, and everyone knows. Who dares to report it again?" said Jia Youniu.
Yin Xianren and Conan were silent. There was no way to do this problem. Yin Xianren and Ji Conan went to the village to do projects and could not do other things. Jia Caifu was elected by the villagers. There was no way. The project time was short, and they were dismissed and re-selected. I am afraid that the time would be spent on this. The construction period of the project is certain and cannot wait. If you are entangled in this regard, it may affect the progress of the project. The task cannot be completed on time and delay the acceptance. That is not fun. If the acceptance of the second phase project is delayed, the third phase project will be gone, and the impact is very far-reaching. No project can be done, which means that Ji Conan and the others will be unemployed.
Conan regrets why they chose such a village to do the project? It is impossible to withdraw the project now, unless the amount of aid is reduced, but the village will definitely not agree. If they do not agree, they will do this. If they invest in the money, they will still be divided up. The villagers will not benefit, and the purpose of donation cannot be achieved.
"Let's go find Officer Lee to see how he explains it. This matter is not a trivial matter, it will have international influence." Yoon Hyun-in said.
"Okay. Let's go together," Conan said.
Seeing this situation, Jia Youniu retreated a little and said, "You go, I have something to do, so I won't be with you."
Conan knew that he was a little afraid of Jia Cai, the villagers in the village, and they looked up but didn't look down. If the complaints were not made, wouldn't it be a mess? He offended people and made them angry, which was not worth it. Conan could understand Jia Youniu's mood at this time, so he wouldn't force him to go.
Walking from the path, weeds grow wildly on the road, the path has been covered. Green grass and yellow flowers grow on the yellow mud road, not pure soil, mixed with white and brown stones and fine sand. Occasionally, at the turn, there are one or two blue rocks, lying there silently, enduring the sun's exposure and the erosion of rain and snow, the blowing of the four monsoon wind, bluestone or bluestone, still hard and cold. There are birds in the woods, which are gentle and beautiful, whether it is a courtship or a battle, singing or expressing their hearts to each other, only they understand those languages.
When he arrived at Li Gan Shi's house, he had not left the house. After he sat down, Conan said: "Some people say that Jia Caifu built a new house with steel bars in the warehouse. I don't know if you heard about this."
Director Lee's eyes lit up, and he lit a cigarette, made of dark brown tobacco leaves. He took a sip and then slowly spit it out. Neither Conan nor Yoon Hyun-in could bear the choking smell of cigarettes, but he had no complaints. Both of them wanted to hear what Director Lee said.
"I have heard of this. Now this matter has reached the ears of the two gentlemen. I think it's a matter of time. I have never told you about it. Jia Xinyi has never received a salary since he was in the project site finance department. The project office has no such expenditure budget. I will forget it. I will be scolded, and it will be a gust of wind. At least I can benefit from this project. He is different. He cannot get a salary and is not a beneficiary of the project. He needs to consider why he needs to serve everyone? Do you also have to share some physical goods for him? This problem has not been solved and I have been dragging it all the time. You can't just let the horse run away and not give the horse supplies? Jia Xinyi's son is about to get married soon, but the woman is not interested in the old house and insists that they build a new house before they can marry. There is no way, so he has a bad idea." Secretary Li said.
"Oh, then, you know very well how much steel bars he pulled away, right?" Conan said.
"I know, he said hello to me when he pulled me. I was worried and went to see it specifically. I remember there was a bill. He said it was a borrower and agreed to pay it back." Secretary Li said.
"Is this a matter of great significance. You must know that our funds are donated by caring people in Jianghai District. They are not bank loans or money falling from the sky. They are hard-won. Jianghai District is a big city and is typical. The situation here will be known soon. If this matter is not handled properly, it will be an international influence." Yin Xianren said.
Secretary Li blinked his eyes and made a strange hum in his nose, and seemed disdainful to Yoon Hyun-in. He cleared his throat, spit out a mouthful of disgusting thick phlegm, and then rubbed his feet back and forth on the phlegm. Conan saw the blue concrete floor, gray and yellow dust everywhere, and suspected that every part was contaminated by Secretary Li's thick phlegm, so he felt that his feet had no place to put them and he was uncomfortable.
Secretary Li was obviously not interested in Yoon Hyun-in's big hat, and it didn't matter. He felt that this was on my mountain and my territory. I had the final say. Your set of things is not useful here. If you see the big hats for a lot, you are not afraid of being suppressed, and you can't hold it back. He didn't speak and smoked silently.
Conan thought, it’s useless for Yoon Xianren to use Jianghai District to suppress him! People dare to use the World Bank loans, and they can dismantle the east wall to make up for the west wall, and use the east and west. What’s your money? No matter who has the money, when you arrive in Hupo Village, it’s like a meat bun and hit a dog but never return. Who can you tell me about those big truths?
In the past few years, the World Bank loan greening project, they did not repay the funds, but they still solved it. How to solve it is not clear. It may be that when they see something big is wrong, they leave. Even though they know they have no money, they don’t expect to repay it. How can they pay it back? Can you move the pool away? If you can, move it away. Anyway, there is no water in and no lid, so it doesn’t matter. Can trees be cut down? If you can cut down, you can take off it. It takes up arable land, but the oranges have not grown a few, and it also wastes land resources.
"As for the issue of steel bars, I am responsible for supervising Jia Xinyi's repayment. The villagers on the mountain also need steel bars to make small and medium-sized water pools. Please rest assured, two gentlemen!" said Director Li.
"Okay! Please give me some time when I will return it. Otherwise, we will not be able to submit a job." Yoon Hyun-in said.
"In one month," said Director Li.
"Okay, one word is a matter of determination. Happy cooperation!" Conan said. In fact, Conan knew very well that it was impossible to repay within a month. This was their delaying strategy. Building a house cannot be successful in a month. It takes one year to be slow, and it takes half a year to be fast. Jia Caifu has money and can buy it directly without borrowing it. This borrowing is equivalent to be a meat bun and hitting a dog, and there is no return.
"The village has to worry about everything, and I don't think the management committee has played any role." said Director Li.
"This is required by the institution and the project time is relatively short. The management committee needs to be established, which requires long-term training. It is important to find candidates," said Conan.
"The situation has changed now. When we established the management committee in Hongshan Village, Songgang City, there were still some young people in the village who did not go out to work. Now, there are fewer and fewer young people in the village. It is difficult to find candidates and let young people join the management committee. They are all elderly people with rigid thoughts supporting the storefront." Yin Xianren said.
"That's right. The meeting is about to be held. I have notified the Management Committee to gather at Group 5 Jia Sizhi's house and wait for a while to go together. Alas, I, old woman, have been here for a long time and have not made tea yet." said Director Li.
He got up and went out to find his wife. After searching for him, he said to himself: "Maybe he took his grandson to visit. No matter her, let's go! Let's have tea at Jia Sizhi's house."
Conan and Yoon Hyun-in stood up, and Officer Lee asked them to walk in front, and Conan and Yoon Hyun-in gave in and asked him to lead the way. Officer Lee was no longer polite and walked towards the direction of Jia Sizhi's family.
After about 20 minutes, I finally walked along the village-level highway. The village-level highway is actually a dirt road, with bumpy pits and difficult to walk on. The tires of the car drove out deep ditches on both sides, protruding in the middle, grass growing on it, and several large stones with terrifying slashes. Cars with low chassis walking on such roads may be damaged and cause the engine to be shut down. Generally speaking, motor vehicles that can walk on such roads are not only motorcycles, but also agricultural vehicles, jeeps or off-road vehicles. Rotary tillers are not used. The slope of the hillside makes it impossible to operate. Of course, walking such a mountain road is effortless.
Jia Sizhi's home is between the water source and the pool, on the edge of the village-level highway. Conan and the others arrived at his house. He quickly called his wife to pour tea for the guests. He was a high-ranking paraplegic patient, taking medicine all year round, and opened a small shop at home to facilitate the lives of the people around him. Everyone also took care of his family, always looking far and far, and came to his house to buy things. He was originally a healthy person. When he was young, he was a tractor in the village. He was very smart and had no knowledge of machinery. In addition, he was eloquent and became a well-known person. The key is that he was wise, considering problems more comprehensively, and he could mediate disputes and had a high reputation. It was just because of his disability and did not participate in project management. It was a pity.
After a while, people arrived one after another.
When you start a meeting, it is different from the usual meeting. When you have a meeting, you will discuss the problem and solve it. Don’t mess around.
"The pipe trough is about to be dug, mobilize everyone to work together to dig the pipe trough, prepare the water burial, and let Li Jialiangzi eat tap water as soon as possible," said Director Li.
"No. You can't pass behind our house. What if the water pipe explodes?" said the representative of Group 5.
"What do you think you should do?" Jia Caifu asked.
"I don't care, I can't pass the water pipes from us anyway." The representatives of the Group 5 said:
"It's hard, it's hard, can't it fly from the sky?" Li Huafa said:
"Whether or not fly is not our business, we don't have water to eat, who cares about us? Why don't we let water? Are we mistresses?" said the representatives of the 5th group.
"It was all born by an aunt, and it was not born by a second mother. It was treated equally and treated fairly, and there was no discrimination. You can raise your opinions, it's easy to say," said Jia Mingzhu.
"Stop messing around, I'll tell you a plan. I'll see if it's OK. Whoever the water pipe passes by will open a three-way connection in the house, which will become thicker and thinner until the kitchen exterior wall of the household and the indoor water pipes are installed." said Director Li.
"Then, then, how can that work? If every family opens its mouth, can the water reach us? Is it enough? If everyone wastes it, let the water flow openly and use the water to fight drought, we will be thirsty and people pour water into their own paddy fields. Then, can that work?" Li Huafa said.
"What are the opinions of others?" said Director Li.
"I support Lao Li's suggestion. However, every household must install a water meter. Rich people can afford water, even if they release water and resist drought. The water meter reading is charged, how much is per ton, and then discuss it and refer to the previous standards. You can ask the old water manager Jia Maogang's opinion." Jia Mingzhu said.
"This proposal is very good. As long as you are a rich man, you can spend money at will, release water and resist drought, or raise fish. As long as you have money and don't interfere, who can add it?" asked Director Li.
"I basically agree with Lao Li's opinion. I would like to thank the two project directors of the foundation! Thank you for your hard work! I came to our village so far to show my love. I am really a good person I have never met in my life. Everyone gives in and learn from others and show love. Water is not a **, so how could the house collapse? If it collapses, I will be responsible for compensation. Everyone installs a water meter and calculates the water fee according to the readings, and treats everyone equally. I support it!" Jia Sizhi said.
"There is still no guarantee. Several of our households are closer to another water source. We don't want to share a water pipe with Li Jialiangzi. We need to build another water pool. This condition must be met, otherwise we will not be allowed to pass the water pipe." said the representative of Group 5.
"Then, that's OK, you are cruel, you are cruel, who is cruel! If you don't allow us to eat water, we won't allow you to walk. The village road passes by Lijialiangzi, and your agricultural vehicles, including people, are not allowed to walk in front of our door. If you want to leave, you can also take the money to buy the road." Li Huafa said.
"It's boring to make trouble like this, why bother? Everyone is from the same village, and when they go outside, they are all fellow villagers. When they see the fellow villagers, they are crying. Whether they are close or not, the people in the hometown are the people. The water pipes must be connected, and there is no compensation. I originally wanted to dig two months ago, but I considered that everyone's crops were not harvested and they were afraid of destroying the seedlings. Now all the harvests are harvested and the land is idle. I took this opportunity to dig the pipe trough and bury the water pipes. I don't have to carry water and scald pigs this year. If everyone is in a stalemate, the victim will be the big guy." Jia Caifu said. He would say, but what he did is optimistic about is the one who is optimistic about. How to solve this problem needs further discussion.
It seems that Conan heard Jia Caiwu say something very reasonable. However, he cannot think carefully. Once he thinks, he will find loopholes. Fortunately, everyone seems to have not listened to him carefully, or have heard it, but everyone is silent at this time.
