Chapter 0157
At noon, there were several loud noises, and Xia Jian appeared at the west end of the village riding his Yamaha. Several young people who had just finished work gathered around him. Everyone talked about it, and some people looked around and touched.
An extremely rare look.
Mr. Xia appeared out of nowhere. He chuckled and said, "Xia Jian, you bastard, you only know how to enjoy yourself. Take Mr. Xia for a swim on the Xichuan River."
A rather naughty young man said to Mr. Xia: "Third Master! This is an electric donkey. It is different from your donkey. Can you, the old man, ride it?"
"Go, go, go! The electric donkey is also a donkey. Anyway, it is a human being who rides it, not the donkey." Mr. Xia trembled, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
Xia Jian walked over, helped Mr. Xia onto the motorcycle, and said with a smile: "Third Master, please sit tight. This donkey is obedient, but it moves very fast. Be careful of bumping your old man."
Xia Jian's words made everyone burst into laughter.
The motorcycle started running lightly in front of everyone, and in a blink of an eye it drove onto the village road of Xichuan River. Xia Jian slowed down and looked at the greenhouse expansion project that was about to be completed in the distance, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.
"Boy, Third Master saw you right. Under your leadership, Xi Cun's good days are not far away." Third Master Xia sat behind Xia Jian and shouted at the top of his voice.
Xia Jian smiled and said, "It's all the result of everyone's efforts. In fact, I didn't do anything."
Along the way, the villagers returning from the fields kept saying hello to Xia Jian, which made Xia Jian feel very happy. Rural people are honest and will recognize anyone who does practical things.
Hey! It’s strange, why didn’t I see Chen Erniu and the others? Could it be that the tap water pipeline has been laid? Xia Jian muttered in his heart, turned the car around, and rode towards the village.
When they arrived at the door of Xia Sanye's house, Xia Jian helped him down. The old man seemed a little tired. He smiled and said: "Boy, when you are free, take me to the ancestral graves again. I want to see what you have done."
What does the built reservoir look like?”
Xia Jian responded and quickly ran towards the village committee.
In the office of the village committee, Zhao Hong and Chen Erniu were both there. When everyone saw Xia Jian, they shouted happily. After Xia Jian motioned for everyone to sit down, he pointed at Chen Erniu and asked, "Water pipe?"
How is the installation going? Why don’t you see anyone starting work today?”
"The installation outside the village has been completed. As soon as the materials arrive, the installation inside the village will start tomorrow. However, everyone has dug the channels in advance, and the installation will be quick, which will only take a day or two." Chen Erniu was a little confused when he saw Xia Jian.
Unhappy, he replied hurriedly.
Xia Jian didn't say anything and just nodded silently. It seemed that he was worrying a little too much.
Zhao Hong glanced at Xia Jian and said with a smile: "The second batch of expansion of vegetable greenhouses is basically completed. Seedlings will be raised tomorrow. However, there are not enough workers and we need to recruit them."
Xia Jian thought for a while and said: "Immediately broadcast to the whole village to recruit new workers. However, the educational level of the workers recruited this time must be controlled. Zhao Hong will be responsible for this matter. Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu will
Fully responsible for water diversion work"
Everyone responded. Xia Jian thought for a while and then said to Song Fang: "You organize the villagers to rehearse Yangko and start a drum band in their free time at night. You may not be familiar with this matter. Let Mo Yan assist you."
Finish"
Upon hearing this, Song Fang asked happily: "Is there a big leader coming to our village?"
This woman is from the south. She thinks fast enough. Before Xia Jian said anything, she made a guess. Chen Erniu, who was sitting next to Song Fang, rushed to say: "It's just us."
If the village is like this, it’s time for some leaders to come and check it out. Maybe we can set a model for our village.”
"Well! It seems that everyone is quite smart. There is indeed a leader coming, so everyone has a heavy workload these days. You must not be sloppy at all. If you can't finish it, you will work overtime at night." After Xia Jian finished speaking,
Ready to go.
Zhao Hong asked hurriedly: "When will the leader of this inspection come?"
In such a hurry, Xia Jian forgot about this link. Xia Jian said a little embarrassedly: "Today is August 12th. We will set it on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole village will bring water into the village. At the same time, we will also welcome
Leaders came to inspect "
"This is a very good day for us, but the leader may not be able to come. You'd better make a phone call to confirm." Zhao Hong reminded Xia Jian with a little worry.
Women are cautious. Xia Jian really didn't expect this. Now that Zhao Hong said it, Xia Jian immediately grabbed the phone on the table. The person who answered the phone was Ouyang Hong. When he heard that Xia Jian asked the leader to come to his village for inspection,
She said with a smile: "Fifteenth month is round, and the leaders also have families, so let's decide on August 16th!"
When Xia Jian heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Ouyang Hong's words. He smiled and said: "The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen yuan, which is not a bad day. Let's go sixteen!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Jian told everyone what Ouyang Hong meant. Xia Sanhu, who had been silent for the whole time, smiled slightly and said, "Sixteen is not bad. Firstly, it's a good day, and secondly, it gives us time.
Erniu! Let's go to the village to check first. If the materials arrive and some places are not done well, wouldn't it be a waste of work?" Xia Sanhu said, then got up and walked out the door.
Chen Erniu followed out a little reluctantly.
Mo Yan glanced at Song Fang and said, "Sister Song! Let's go too! This Yangko team is not easy to deal with. We need to find a few old people with authority to lead it." Song Fang laughed and followed Mo Yan.
He also left, leaving only Zhao Hong and Xia Jian in the office.
"Does it take two days to buy a motorcycle?" Zhao Hong asked Xia Jiandao a little unhappy.
Xia Jian glanced at Zhao Hong and said in a low voice: "It's not possible in Pingdu City. Good motorcycles are smuggled and cannot be bought on the market, so I waited until night and got one on the black market."
"We are a poor place, so long as we have a bicycle, everyone just heard that you took Mr. Xia to Xichuan River, so they ran to wait for you, wanting to have some fun. Unexpectedly, you had a long face and asked about work first.
Are you in trouble?" Zhao Hong said, then turned around and poured a glass of water for Xia Jian.
As soon as he saw the water, Xia Jian felt that he was not only thirsty but also hungry. Because he got up late this morning, he didn't even bother to eat breakfast when he got downstairs, so he ran back on his motorcycle.
After taking a sip of water, Xia Jiancai took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing, but I had a lot of emotions along the way. I feel more and more that the burden on our shoulders is very heavy, so when I see everyone sitting here, I can't help but feel a little bit.
"My son is anxious. It's because I didn't do well. Please remind me more in the future."
"Who are you to me?" Zhao Hong rolled her eyes at Xia Jian and said, but they both laughed at the same time, each of them having a bit of fun.
At Wang Degui's house, Chen Yueqin was smiling all over her face. While serving tea and water to Wang Degui who had just entered the house, she asked with a smile: "His dad, you came back so quickly this time. Isn't it because he didn't agree?"
Wang Degui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily: "It's done. With my old face, even though my relatives said they were unhappy, they still called the city in front of me."
"Dad! Are you saying that I can report to the city government now?" Wang Youdao asked anxiously as soon as he walked in the door. This was a bit inconsistent with his usual personality.
Wang Degui glanced at Wang Youdao and said in a low voice: "There's no rush, we'll go there tomorrow, but my relatives have said this time that they want you to perform well during the internship. It's up to you whether you can stay in the city government office."
Wang Youdao nodded and said, "Okay dad, I know what I should do and I will never let you down."
Wang Degui took a sip of tea and suddenly asked Chen Yueqin: "There is a new motorcycle parked in front of the village committee. Everyone is looking around. Whose is it? No one in our village can afford this thing.
Son?"
Chen Yueqin snorted coldly and said, "Who else could have bought it? Xia Zecheng's son. Didn't this bastard buy it with the village committee's money?" Chen Yueqin said a little suspiciously.
Wang Degui couldn't help but coughed twice and said: "This bastard, it's really confusing to have so much money. If he really touches the village's money, he will be finished."
Wang Youdao, who was about to go out, stopped when he heard his father say this, with a sly smile on his face. After a while, he said: "It's best to use the village's money."
August 16th is the most unforgettable day for people in Xiping Village.
The water house at the west end of the village has been built, and pipes have been delivered to every villager's home. Everyone is waiting and looking forward to the water being released today. Everyone is extremely excited for the arrival of this historical moment.
Just after ten o'clock in the morning, four or five small cars drove over from a distance. Xia Jian stood on the water house and looked far away. The leader was a jeep. This should be the vehicle of the Pingyang Town Government. The second one was
It was a Santana. As soon as he guessed it, he knew that the people in this car should be the leaders of the municipal government.
When the car was still more than a hundred meters away from the village, Xia Jian shouted loudly: "Start!"
Suddenly, the west end of Xiping Village was filled with drums and music, and the rehearsed yangko troupe also danced from both sides, creating a lively scene. The villagers also put on their best clothes, and it felt like they were celebrating the New Year.
The car stopped and Ouyang Hong was the first to get out. As soon as she saw Xia Jian, she ran over and lowered her voice and asked, "Are you all ready? Vice Mayor Chen is here in person."
"Okay, don't worry!" Xia Jian said with certainty.
Ouyang Hong smiled slightly and said, "That's good, let's welcome him together."
Without saying a word, Xia Jian followed Ouyang Hong and stood in front of Vice Mayor Chen's car. The driver opened the door and Vice Mayor Chen walked out. When he saw Xia Jian, he shook Xia Jian's hand politely and said
: "Thank you for your hard work, young man"
"It's not hard, this is what they should do." Before Xia Jian could say anything, Secretary Wang of the Pingyang Town Party Committee, who was standing aside, rushed to speak. He looked so excited that you could see the crystal clear sweat on his bald head.
