Qiao Liang's hand suddenly hurt. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was pricked by the damaged area of the Kang mat.
Qiao Liang lowered his head and looked at the kang mat, pondering for a moment, and suddenly something happened in his heart. Rural people have the habit of putting things under the kang mat. Parents often do this. I just browsed other places, but I haven't seen it here yet.
Qiao Liang came down next and opened the kang mat. A burst of dust suddenly rose up and got into Qiao Liang's nostrils. He couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
Then Qiao Liang looked intently at the kang mat, and sure enough, there were a few crumpled notes.
Qiao Liang picked up the pieces of paper and carefully unfolded them one by one, smoothed them out and looked at them carefully.
When he saw one of the pictures, Qiao Liang's eyes suddenly lit up——
This is a receipt, with a few lines written on it: Today I received money from Zhang Zhimin for saplings from Qiaojiayu Village, Mazhuang Town, including 1,000 poplar saplings, 2,000 willow saplings, and 2,000 apricot saplings, totaling ××× yuan
…
The signing date was exactly 5 years ago.
Great, this not only proves the number of saplings purchased by Zhang Zhimin, but also proves the time it took to plant the trees.
Damn it, you can't find it even after you've worn iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. Qiao Liang was suddenly excited and said to Zhang Zhimin: "Second uncle, I found it. This is it."
Zhang Zhimin also became excited: "Hey, it's been so long. I didn't expect to find it again. I forgot about it. I just put it here casually."
Qiao Liang carefully folded the note and put it into his pocket, then he and Zhang Zhimin went out of the inner room, sat down and continued drinking tea.
"Second uncle, don't worry. Since we have proof, we must compensate you." Qiao Liang said.
Zhang Zhimin nodded: "Okay, Liang Zi, since you are in charge of this matter, you should favor my second uncle more and compensate me more."
Qiao Liang thought for a moment: "Second uncle, there are strict standards for how much compensation you should pay. I can't do whatever I want."
Zhang Zhimin's face tightened: "Liang Zi, please stop fooling my second uncle. What standards are not standard? All you have to do is raise your hand and say something. I will pay you 10 yuan more for each tree. Isn't it easy?"
"Second uncle, if you say that, I will make a mistake. Let alone paying 10 yuan more for a tree, not even 1 yuan." Qiao Liang said patiently.
Zhang Zhimin's face turned even more ugly: "Liang Zi, I hugged you when I was a child. We are still fellow villagers. You can't even help me with this little thing. You really went out to hang out in vain."
"Second Uncle, if you are really short of money, I can pay you the extra compensation out of my own pocket, but I can't pay it out from the government." Although Qiao Liang's voice was euphemistic, his tone was firm.
Zhang Zhimin became angry: "Okay, Liang Zi, since you said so, let's not talk about this matter today. I will continue to report it to the top. Anyway, a group of high-ranking officials will come to our village the day after tomorrow, and I will have to reason with them.
no."
When Qiao Liang heard this, he became anxious and furious. I guess Zhang Zhimin's stubborn temper got worse.
But Qiao Liang knew that at this time, he obviously couldn't confront Zhang Zhimin, otherwise there would be a stalemate.
Qiao Liang thought calmly for a moment and looked at Zhang Zhimin: "Second uncle, you have watched me grow up since childhood. How come we, Qiaojiayu, have been able to pass the exam for a college student for so many years? That's me. It's not easy for me to get to where I am now.
, you don’t want to see me being punished for making mistakes, do you?”
"So what?" Zhang Zhimin asked angrily.
"Second uncle, think about it, if I make a mistake and lose my job, not only will I be unlucky, not only will my parents be embarrassed, but all the folks in Qiaojiayu will be disgraced," Qiao Liang said.
Zhang Zhimin was silent for a while.
Qiao Liang continued: "Second uncle, regarding your matter, there is no doubt that the town is at fault. I have criticized the town leaders just now. They and the county leaders will be at my house now. I will let them be responsible later."
I apologize to you and admit my mistake.
At the same time, based on your actual situation, when handling this matter, and without violating the regulations, I will try to ask them to compensate you according to the highest standards. If according to the highest standards, the amount of compensation for these 5,000 trees is not small.
Yes, you should be satisfied.
Also, if you insist on making additional compensation demands that do not meet the regulations, I will be in trouble, and everyone will be in trouble, because the regulations are written in black and white, and anyone who violates them will be held responsible. In this way, this matter will continue to drag on, and it will be difficult for everyone to do so.
It’s not good for you, and it’s not good for the government. If you keep dragging things like this, you won’t see any cash. How can it be more beneficial than putting the money in your hands now, and you can still earn interest by depositing it in the bank..."
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, Zhang Zhimin was a little moved.
Qiao Liang continued: "Of course, you said that if your requirements are not met, you have to report it to the provincial leaders the day after tomorrow. Of course you can do this, but have you considered that if you really do this, what will happen to you?
Are you really good to the city and county? Will it really help solve the problem?
The big leaders in the province may ask about this, but they are just asking, and the implementation still has to be done below. Now I will solve this problem, and I can guarantee you the highest compensation standard. But after passing this village, there is no such store. After that,
But I may not be responsible. If it were someone else, who can guarantee that you will be held to the highest standards?"
Zhang Zhimin looked at Qiao Liang and felt a little moved.
Qiao Liang then said sincerely: "Second uncle, Secretary An has assigned me to handle your matter this time. If I can't handle it well, Secretary An will definitely be dissatisfied with me. If the big boss is dissatisfied with me, then what will happen to me?"
My future will be affected. As an elder who has watched me grow up, I believe that of course you would like me to get better and better, and don't want to see me go downhill."
"This is natural." Zhang Zhimin said.
"That's good." Qiao Liang clapped his hands, "Second uncle, after I have said so much, you should understand my difficulties and painstaking efforts. I am caught between the public family and the second uncle. On the one hand, I want to treat the public family
On the other hand, I have to try my best to satisfy my second uncle. Of course, I am sure that my nephew will not be embarrassed by my second uncle's satisfaction."
Zhang Zhimin lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then took a long breath: "Okay, Liang Zi, I have figured it out. If you deserve it, you will help me get justice. If you don't deserve it, I don't want to do it anymore. I will listen to you in everything."
Qiao Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Emma, it's not easy to convince this stubborn donkey.
"Let's go, uncle, go to my house for a drink. Let's have a few drinks together."
"Let's get rid of this." Zhang Zhimin couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he thought of the Qiao Liang family and the county and town leaders.
"Hey, second uncle, don't worry about anything. We have to solve the problem completely in person. How can we solve it if you don't go? Besides, if I don't invite you to go, do you want my dad to come?" Qiao Liang said.
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Zhang Zhimin agreed and followed Qiao Liang to his house.
After entering Qiao Liang's house, everyone was still sitting in the yard drinking tea, and Lu Qian was helping her mother cook in the kitchen.
Seeing Qiao Liang and Zhang Zhimin come in, everyone understood what Qiao Liang had just done.
Qiao Liang asked Zhang Zhimin to sit down and then introduced everyone to each other.
Facing so many county and town leaders, Zhang Zhimin seemed a little embarrassed.
