Chapter 519 Water Heater

Xiang Hongyin said: "Are you free now? Can you come to our community?"

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay! I'll come here now."

Maintain good relations with the community.

When doing work, you can't patronize the part of your duties.The relationship between the surrounding units must be harmonious, and they will be willing to provide help when encountering difficulties.

……

More than ten minutes later, Hu Pingtao took Long Xu and Cui Wen into the office of the director of Shangyi Community.

Besides Xiang Hongyin, there were two other women in the room, all of them were not young anymore, they looked like they were in their 40s.

Xiang Hongyin stood up from the chair and walked forward with a smile: "Director Hu came so fast! We are talking here and you are here... Sit down, sit down, I'll pour you tea."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said, "Sister Xiang, you are welcome."

Xiang Hongyin poured water for them respectively, watched them sit down, then walked to the desk, raised his finger to the two women on the side sofa: "Let me introduce to you: this is Mr. Liu Yongxiu, who used to be in He worked for the Provincial Publishing Group and is now retired."

"This is Cao Yujiao, Xiao Cao, a worker in our community."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao couldn't help pursing his lips and showing a knowing smile.

Xiang Hongyin's attitude and thoughts can be seen from the tone of the introduction.

Liu Yongxiu is obviously more dignified, otherwise Xiang Hongyin wouldn't have called her "Teacher Liu".

As for Cao Yujiao... To be honest, she looks obviously older than Xiang Hongyin, but Xiang Hongyin calls her "Little Cao".

The status and status comparison between the two is a judgment.

More importantly, when introducing Cao Yujiao to Hongyin, he mentioned a key word—staff.

Hu Pingtao had dealt with Xiang Hongyin before, so he knew some of her habits of talking and doing things.

If it is a staff member in the community, she will definitely say: This is so-and-so from our unit, rather than being referred to as "staff".

This means that Cao Yujiao belongs to the type who has no career establishment in Shangyi Community and is a temporary employee.

A very simple sentence reveals a lot of information.

Hu Pingtao didn't delve into it, he smiled and asked Xiang Hongyin: "Sister Xiang, why did you ask me to come here?"

Xiang Hongyin didn't say it directly, she turned to Liu Yongxiu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you should tell Director Hu about the specific situation! After all, I am not the person involved, and I don't know the actual situation. I will invite Director Hu over today. It is to let you talk face to face, so that we can better solve the problem.”

These words took her out directly.

Hu Pingtao suddenly felt a bit of contempt for Xiang Hongyin in his heart—he asked himself to come over to help, but he didn't want to show up.

Liu Yongxiu is wearing a lotus color long dress. Although he is in his 40s and almost 50 years old, he still has a bit of charm.

"Hello, Director Hu." She sat upright and looked very elegant: "I'll make a long story short. I live in the old staff dormitory of the Provincial Publishing Group at No. 83 Qianying Road. It's an old house over there, and the previous unit was on welfare. When the house was allocated, I occupied a [-]-square-meter suite. Later, my unit raised funds to build a house in Xiaobanqiao, and I also bought it, but the location is far away, so I don’t often live there after the renovation. Most of the time I live here on Qianying Road.”

"We are a family compound here, separated from the adjacent buildings by a wall. The environment in the yard is quite good, but the house is old and the roof leaks. The unit has paid for repairs several times, but there are too many problems. It's troublesome."

"Isn't our provincial capital always creating articles? One of them is about the appearance of the city. The renovation of the old area is mentioned every year, but in fact it can't be moved. Our compound is full of old houses. A lot of the pasted tiles fell off and looked ugly, so the community discussed with the leaders of our unit, and the community spent money to find someone to knock off all the tiles on the outside of our house and repaint them with a layer of white paint."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "I know about this. The city has allocated a special fund to rectify the appearance of the city."

Liu Yongxiu has some opinions on this: "How easy it is to demolish the old house directly! Why do you want to do this kind of face-saving project? The tiles have been knocked out and the exterior walls are waterproofed, and they have to be painted white. From a distance, it looks really good. It’s beautiful, but it doesn’t really do anything to remodel the house.”

Xiang Hongyin explained with a smile beside him: "Mr. Liu, it's useless for you to get angry at us! It's not my idea, I'm just working below."

Liu Yongxiu frowned: "But this matter belongs to your community! The specific responsibility, and the implementation of the project are all done by your people. Am I wrong?"

Xiang Hongyin was speechless, and could only turn his face away.

Liu Yongxiu ignored her, turned to Hu Pingtao, and continued: "I took a public holiday last week and took my family to play around Lugu Lake. When I got home last night, I wanted to take a bath, but I turned on the hot water tap. , but not a single drop of water."

"I was puzzled at the time, thinking that the property management of the community turned off the booster pump. But after asking, they said that the booster pump hadn't been moved at all, so I asked me to go to the roof to find out what went wrong. .So I took my son-in-law to the top of the building to have a look, and found that my solar water heater was missing.”

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao interrupted her: "You mean, the house you live in doesn't use public solar water heaters, but the kind installed by each household?"

Liu Yongxiu nodded: "In the past, the unit said that everyone raised funds to buy a big one for public use. This will facilitate management, and the annual cost of cleaning the pool can also be charged to the public account. But what did some people say? None of them were willing, and the leaders had no choice, so they simply left it alone and let each of us solve it by ourselves. So from then on, whoever wants to use hot water has to spend their own money to install solar energy.”

Hu Pingtao asked: "How long has your home's solar energy been used?"

"It's too early." Liu Yongxiu remembers it clearly: "I installed it in 400. It was very expensive when I bought it. Even with the installation, the total cost is more than [-], and I have been using it until now."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Go ahead."

Liu Yongxiu said: "I felt strange at the time, how could the good solar energy suddenly disappear? Even if there were thieves in this community, how could they steal the solar water heater inexplicably?"

"I found property management, and they said they didn't know."

"Later when I went home, I thought that maybe the neighbor across the street knew something about playing outside these days, so I went to knock on the door. The neighbor told me that the solar water heater in my house was demolished by the decoration personnel sent by the community."

Hu Pingtao was very surprised by this: "Demolition? Why?"

Liu Yongxiu raised his finger angrily and pointed at Cao Yujiao who was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite: "If you ask her, she did it."

Cao Yujiao felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle, and immediately screamed, "I did it for work, okay? You think I'm willing to tear it down!"

Xiang Hongyin stopped it very unhappy: "Little Cao, stop calling. The comrades from the police station are here. Please explain the situation clearly. I told you, no one blamed you for this matter, but we I won’t let you take the responsibility casually. Everyone’s problems should be solved separately, don’t mix them together!”

Her words had obvious warning elements.

Cao Yujiao squinted at Liu Yongxiu, and muttered unhappily: "You are an old house... how many years old, and the outer walls are old and worn out. I took the workers to the roof to have a look, and there were big cracks. Had to do waterproofing again. The whole roof is full of solar energy from every household, it's a mess."

"There are new water heaters and old ones. When we entered the site, we asked the property management of the community. They said that many people in the community had sold their houses. If the water heaters on the roof are old ones, they are basically broken. In the past Most of the homeowners wanted to save trouble, and they didn’t bother to demolish the house when they sold it, so they just left it there and no one cares about it.”

"Most people who buy a house now have a lot of choices. They can use electric water heaters, gas water heaters, and air energy... Hey, anyway, the original words of the property management at that time said this: If the water heater on the roof is new, it must be There is an owner, so you can’t move it. If it’s a very old one, just tear it down.”

Liu Yongxiu was even more unhappy: "Those people in property management don't understand anything. You just believe what he says? He tells you to eat..."

The following words were too dirty, and Liu Yongxiu's words had already reached his lips. Thinking about it, it was really inappropriate, so he forcibly held back.

Cao Yujiao became a little annoyed, and asked, "Why are you talking?"

Liu Yongxiu glared at her: "What did I say to you?"

Cao Yujiao's cultural level is obviously not as good as Liu Yongxiu: "You said let me eat shit, believe it or not, I will tear your stinky mouth to pieces?"

Hu Pingtao quickly stood up to smooth things over: "You are wrong, Mr. Liu never said such a thing."

Cao Yujiao was relentless: "Although she didn't say it, that's what she thought in her heart."

Xiang Hongyin saw that it would be difficult to end the matter if it continued, so he stood up and persuaded him: "Little Cao, don't talk about it. Teacher Liu didn't mean that. Okay, listen to me, no one is allowed to mention this again, whoever said it? Who am I going to turn against?"

Liu Yongxiu asked sullenly: "She demolished the solar water heater in my house. You must give an explanation in your community?"

Xiang Hongyin turned to Cao Yujiao, and asked depressedly, "Xiao Cao, you caused this. Say it yourself, what should you do?"

Cao Yujiao was in a hurry: "Why did I provoke you! Director Xiang, how can you put all the responsibility on me when you talk about it?"

Xiang Hongyin asked coldly, "Did you dismantle the water heater?"

Cao Yujiao could not deny this: "Yes."

Xiang Hongyin asked again: "Did I ask you to dismantle it?"

"No..." Cao Yujiao suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly defended, "If you hadn't asked me to take someone to re-waterproof, I wouldn't have dismantled the water heater!"

Xiang Hongyin sneered: "You man, if something happens, just clean it up... Let me ask you, where did you throw the old water heater that was dismantled?"

"I..." Cao Yujiao was at a loss for words.

Xiang Hongyin actually knew how to deal with this matter.The reason why Hu Pingtao was invited here today is, on the one hand, to be a witness, and on the other hand, to seek the support of the police station.

She folded her hands on her chest, and said lightly: "The workers who are with you have told me——When you go to the top of the building, you will look everywhere for old water heaters. I bought four of them and sold them all to the waste collection station.”

Cao Yujiao was angry and impatient, and she repeatedly argued: "Those are things that no one wants. Besides, the roof is such a big place. Since it needs to be waterproofed, the ground must be cleaned out!"

Hu Pingtao finally understood.

He looked at Xiang Hongyin and asked suspiciously, "Director Xiang, is that why you called me here today?"

There are so many people, it is not suitable to be called "Sister Xiang" on this occasion, it is better to be commensurate with the position.

Xiang Hongyin tried his best to make his smile look normal.She brewed her emotions, and said with a pleasant face: "Actually, this matter is a matter of mutual understanding. The comrades from the police station also came today. Mr. Liu, you came earlier. Let's sit down and discuss in a friendly manner."

She winked quickly at Hu Pingtao, then turned to Liu Yongxiu, speaking softly but with force: "Mr. Liu, in fact, the maintenance of residential buildings is not our subjective wish. If it is not for the creation of literature, the city's people will I ordered, who would climb to the roof of your house full of food in this hot weather?"

Although Liu Yongxiu has retired long ago, his mind is not confused: "Hey! What you said is wrong. Is the matter done by your people? I definitely support Chuangwen with both hands! Maintenance of residential buildings and renovation of exterior walls, this It is a job in your community, and I can neither intervene nor oppose it."

"But your work is your work, you can't dismantle my solar water heater just because of this!"

Cao Yujiao knew that Xiang Hongyin was helping her, but she had problems with logical thinking, and she was eager to clear up her responsibility.Hearing Liu Yongxiu talking about dismantling the water heater, he interrupted quickly, and even put on a bit of a domineering official tone: "You know, this is a free welfare that the government spends money on for the common people. The houses in your community are dilapidated, far away. It looks like an earthen house from a distance. I will bring workers to waterproof and paint the exterior walls for you, and make it look like new. Is it easy for me?"

Liu Yongxiu looked at Cao Yujiao, and his brows frowned even deeper: "Why do you talk so upside down? I've already said that I support whatever the community does, but you can't use work as an excuse to damage my personal property! "

Cao Yujiao curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "Your solar water heater has been on the roof for many years. It doesn't even have a trademark. The steel frame and frame are full of rust. It's so rotten. The workers just pull it with their hands. Dropped, the bucket was smashed before, and a large piece was deflated... Let me tell you the truth, I only paid 50 yuan for the scraps sent to the waste collection station, and it was only for the sake of the metal components. price."

"To put it bluntly, it's just a pile of scrap metal."

Liu Yongxiu got angry: "Hey, what are you talking about?"

"Even if it's scrap iron, it's my family's scrap iron. What does it have to do with you?"
