Nantai County has always had the tradition of being a hometown of construction, and has sent a large number of skilled workers in the construction industry to all parts of the country. The migrant workers from Nantai are serious, down-to-earth and skilled in work, and are called the Nantai Iron Army by the construction industry.
There is no shortage of skilled construction workers in Zhuwangzhuang, from masons, plumbing and hardware, to strong and weak electricity, painting, electric welding and carpentry. They are equipped with everything. They can pull out a construction team in minutes. Principal Wang’s family said they want to build a house. Folks
They expressed their willingness to help.
Shovels, tile cutters, ash buckets, large saws, planes, levels, and welded pipe pliers and impact drills. You don’t need to borrow these tools. You can take them out directly from home. As for the cement, sand, and bricks, they are even more convenient. They can be delivered to your doorstep with just a phone call.
Liu Ziguang came back to see Wang Zhijun this time. He brought several thousand dollars in cash with him, but it was not enough to build a house. However, he had a card with him, so Zhijun could watch it at home while he took his horse to the county town to withdraw the money.
When I came back, I not only brought 20,000 yuan, but also a trunk of lamps and sanitary ware and other things. Twenty taxis at the entrance of the village had taken away, and the Zhu family were also taken to the hospital.
There was a large shed with colorful strips of cloth inside, with more than a dozen tables and dozens of chairs put in by each family. There were loose cigarettes and tea on the tables, and the brothers sat together and had a great time bragging and chatting.
Almost.
Wang Zhijun's sister and brother-in-law are here, carrying hot water bottles and greeting everyone everywhere, with faces full of joy. The old Wang family and Zhu family live next door, and have been bullied by them for a long time. Today, they are finally proud and proud. How can they not be happy?
The chimney of the pot house was smoking, and a stove was built with bricks outside. A huge black iron pot was propped on it. With so many people eating, one pot was definitely not enough, and according to the rules in the countryside, the owner had to take care of the lid.
The masters of the house ate and drank, so Lao Wang's family also risked their lives and used the money to buy Zhijun a wife.
The food was being cooked, but there was no sign of Principal Wang. After asking Zhijun, he found out that Principal Wang had gone to the township health center to visit the old village chief with his things.
"Uncle Wang is such a kind man." Liu Ziguang said.
"Yes, my father has been a teacher for decades, and this basic salary subsidy is used to subsidize needy students. I haven't worn new clothes since I was a child. I just picked up my sister's old clothes." Wang Zhijun said.
Just as he was talking, a green figure suddenly rushed in from outside. When he saw Wang Zhijun, he shouted loudly: "Wang Zhijun, who injured my father! I will never forgive him!"
The sweat on Wang Zhijun's head immediately started to fall, and he stammered: "Cui Cui, please listen to my explanation."
Only then did Liu Ziguang notice that the girl who rushed in was a girl in her twenties. She was wearing a green shirt and jeans. She was not ugly, but her frown was too fierce. "I won't listen! Wang Zhijun, you
"Tell me, is it because my father didn't agree with our marriage that you beat him up?" The village girl glared at Wang Zhijun and wanted to eat him.
Wang Zhijun was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears, but was speechless and unable to speak.
"Ahem, this... Cuicui, right? You don't dare to talk nonsense. Zhijun is such a kind person, how can he do this?" Liu Ziguang said softly.
Cuicui ignored Liu Ziguang, looked at Wang Zhijun with tears in her eyes and said: "My father is wrong. He dislikes the poor and loves the rich and looks down on you, but you can't do this. Look at what you are like now, and these
How can it be possible for a bunch of random people to get together?"
Suddenly, Wang Zhijun was speechless, raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Cui Cui, it doesn't matter how you scold me or accuse me wrongly, but you can't say bad things about my brother. We are all serious community security guards at work.
It's no use! For my family's sake, these brothers came here early in the morning to fight with the Zhu family, and they haven't eaten yet. I'm willing to be with them, I'm happy!"
"You!" Cuicui's eyebrows stood up in anger, her tears fell down, and she suddenly turned around and ran away.
"*Boy, hurry up and catch up." Liu Ziguang pushed Wang Zhijun.
"Don't chase her. She and I were classmates in middle school, and we had an easy time in the past. But later, her father, the village director, thought my family was poor, so he just returned the bride price. Alas, it's all in the past, don't mention it!"
After saying that, Wang Zhijun waved his hand meaningfully, "Brother, I will follow you from now on and make a good appearance in the city!"
"If you are ambitious, there is no need for a real man to have a wife. Brother Qian Ming will help you find a wife in the city!" Liu Ziguang patted Wang Zhijun on the shoulder and said approvingly.
Although the heroic words came out of his mouth, Wang Zhijun's eyes still followed Cuicui's retreating figure unconsciously. When the emerald green figure disappeared behind the haystacks, Wang Zhijun's eyes dimmed obviously.
…
I was in a hurry at noon, and I couldn't make so much food at the moment, so I just dealt with a casual meal first. It didn't matter. I basically emptied the small shop at the entrance of the village. I had ham sausage, braised eggs, and vacuum-packed pig's trotters.
Chicken wings, spiced dried tofu, and white wine, beer, and Coca-Cola were all brought back. Aunt Wang cooked a pot of noodle soup and steamed a large pot of white flour steamed buns, and that was it for lunch.
In the afternoon, several tractors loaded with bricks and cement prefabricated panels drove up to the gate of the courtyard. The young men, who were well fed and drunk, began to unload the goods together. After all, it is easy to do things with so many people. Thousands of bricks were unloaded without much effort. It was surprising.
The onlookers were stunned for a while. They had never seen such a spectacular sight as dozens of strong laborers building a house before.
The masters were also in place, digging holes, laying foundations, and mixing mud with ash. The tractor drove back for the second time. One truck could only pull two thousand bricks. This time, Lao Wang's family had to build five bays.
The two-story small Western-style building requires at least 120,000 bricks, not counting the courtyard wall and the pig pen. In Liu Ziguang's words, it can be done in one step, and Zhijun's wedding room is also prepared.
Such a building costs more than 100,000 yuan including work and materials. The old Wang family was so poor, how could they afford so much? Looking at the workers working enthusiastically, Wang Zhijun rubbed his hands anxiously and asked Liu Ziguang:
"Brother, my family only has 8,000 yuan, so I can provide it to my parents for their retirement. My brother-in-law's family can only afford 5,000 yuan. How can we pay for these bricks, cement, and sand?"
Liu Ziguang waved his hand generously: "Don't worry, I'll cover it all, no problem."
"But, brother, you're not rich either. You're just a working-class person. How can you afford more than hundreds of thousands?"
"Don't worry about this. I won't do anything you're not sure about. Just wait until you move into a new house."
In the evening, the Wang family officially hosted a banquet to entertain their friends in the city. Although they were just staying at home, the banquet was arranged as if it were a wedding. Chicken, duck, fish and meat were all available, and there were enough cigarettes and wine. The old Wang family also went out of their way to do it.
All the specifications were as good as the best. Even the villagers were shocked when they saw it. They all said that Mr. Sui is a widowed doctor and what happened to Principal Wang, who usually spends every penny in half.
After drinking, some of them went back first and took long-distance buses to the county seat back to the city. Others stayed in the village guest house temporarily and came back to help tomorrow.
In the evening, Liu Ziguang called Mr. Gao again and asked for leave for several colleagues. Mr. Gao agreed wholeheartedly and was so polite that it even made Liu Ziguang a little suspicious whether this old boy was trying to get some bad ideas.
In addition, Liu Ziguang called Bei Xiaoshuai over alone and whispered some words. Bei Xiaoshuai drove away without saying a word.
…
Bad news came in the evening. The old village chief was seriously injured and is still in a coma. The township health center cannot treat him and has transferred him to the county hospital. If the county hospital cannot cure him, he will have to be sent to the city overnight.
At the large hospital in the village, the village chief's daughter had already gone to the township police station to report the crime, claiming that she wanted to find the murderer and bring him to justice.
The Wang family were very worried when they heard this. If someone died, both families would be responsible. Regardless of the sentence or fine, they couldn't afford it.
"It's okay, I have everything." Liu Ziguang patted his chest and said.
Then he turned to look at Zhang Jun, who nodded silently.
…
The next day, when the house was being built in full swing, four or five police cars drove up from outside the village, their red and blue police lights flashing silently, which shocked the people in Zhuwangzhuang. You must know that the township police station is just a police station.
There were only two vans, but what came now was a high-end police car, which can only be equipped by the city police. Could it be that yesterday's group fight was so violent that it alarmed the city?
The work on the construction site was suspended. Everyone stared blankly at the police car driving over. Principal Wang, who was holding a kettle to pour tea for the workers, was stunned. He didn't even know that the water was full. Only the second floor of Zhu's house
A smiling face appeared on the face. Zhu Changlong's shrewish wife was convinced that this was the policeman invited by her husband. Last night, Lao Zhu's family was not idle. They were looking for connections everywhere. On the one hand, they cleared the way for the official, and on the other hand, they gathered people and regained the situation.
.
I didn't expect that there would be so many police when they arrived. They must be people from the county. Let's see how the Wang family ends up this time. Aren't you ruthless? Show your ruthlessness to the police.
The police car stopped at the entrance of the village. Five or six men in civilian clothes got out of the car. Accompanied by more than a dozen police officers, they walked slowly over with their hands behind their backs. They looked around and talked at the same time.
It's like he's here to arrest someone.
"Oh, isn't that Mayor Lu? Why is he here?" One of the well-informed villagers exclaimed in surprise.
"Director Zhu from our township police station is also here." Someone pointed at the fat man at the end of the line with a stuttering look on his face.
The visitors walked to the Wang family's construction site in full view of everyone, looked at the small building under construction for a middle-aged man in a white shirt, and said to Principal Wang with a smile: "Old man, are you building a house?"
Principal Wang* was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. Township Chief Lu became anxious and came over to give guidance: "Principal Wang, this is a leader from the city who has come to our township for investigation."
Principal Wang woke up from a dream and hurried over and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we are building houses. The village has good policies, so what..." At this point, he couldn't go on. For a while, he really couldn't think of anything in the village that would benefit the people.
good policy.
"The country has exempted agricultural taxes, which is indeed a good policy. However, the issues related to rural areas and farmers are not under my control. I am here to focus on the public security situation at the grassroots level in rural areas. How about it? Our village is relatively safe. There is no stealing of chickens and dogs."
If so, remember to call the police and I will supervise their implementation." This middle-aged man spoke very grandly, and he looked like a big leader at first glance.
Under the watchful eye of Mayor Lu, the villagers did not dare to say anything. They all praised the good public security situation in the township. They did not pick up any items on the road and did not close their homes at night.
The leader was very satisfied and shook hands with Principal Wang cordially. He saw Liu Ziguang in the crowd and said hello to him with a smile. Liu Ziguang also raised his hand, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, natural and casual. At first glance, the two of them were old friends.
.
The leader clasped his hands behind his back, walked around for a while, and then walked back. As he walked, he said to Mayor Lu: "I have to go back at noon, so I won't bother you."
Township Chief Lu quickly said politely: "Director Song, why are you going back so soon? The township government has prepared meals at noon..."
Director Zhu was walking at the end. He took a chance to find Liu Ziguang and whispered: "Village Chief Zhu has an injury on his head. His daughter refuses to give up and wants to file a lawsuit. I can't stop it. How do you think this matter will be dealt with?"
Liu Ziguang calmly took out one: "How can I embarrass you? Look, the evidence is all ready."
When I pressed the phone, the screen clearly showed the third son of the Zhu family waving a wooden stick to hit the old village chief.
