Rebirth of the Non-Mainstream Village Chief

Chapter 16 Inspection Ferry
The two villages in Gangdong and Gangnan broke out in a collective fight for the ownership of the ferry. As the head of a village, Tian Shaowu could no longer pretend to be stupid.

On the second day after the incident, he called the two village chiefs, Zhao Gongbo and Chen Cangwei, to the village. He first gave a stern reprimand, and then made a statement of impartiality.

After all, the old village head played a disgraceful role in this transaction. He ate food from Gangnan Village and took money from Uncle Chen.

How to deal with it?
Both sides are not fuel-efficient lamps, and both sides are bound to win the ownership of the ferry...

"Or...the village can take back the ferry." Gu Changhong saw that the leader was worried about this matter because he couldn't eat and sleep, and he had gained a few silver hairs in just one night. Naturally, he felt distressed and racked his brains to come up with a clever plan for the leader.

Didn't the two of them risk their lives for the sake of a ferry?Then give them a drudgery, let the two of them draw water from the bamboo basket, and see how they continue to make trouble.

Tian Shaowu smiled wryly and shook his head.

Director Gu, who only knows how to juggle with guns, still thinks it's easy!
In this way, doesn't it mean that the contradictions are concentrated in the village?

Then someone must be sent to manage and operate the ferry, who should be sent?
From outside the village?

Wouldn't that mean he would be driven away by the people of those two villages in less than three days?

Continue to use people from Gangnan Village?

Can Gangdong Village agree?
Changing of the guard in the East Village?

Can Gangnan Village bear it?
The two villages are half to half?
Don't operate the ferry, just change it to a ring!
A lot of question marks dangled in front of Tian Shaowu's eyes, which made him dizzy and just wanted to sleep.

The state of the leader is very bad. Gu Changhong, who thinks he is very discerning, once had the idea of ​​not worrying about the leader anymore, but the benefits Chen Cangwei promised were too tempting.

"Major, Chen Cangwei said that he had reported to you the matter that Chen Cangwei begged me for. I think the easiest and most practical way is to arrest people directly. If that kid can handle it, I will be blamed..."

Tian Shaowu waved his hands impatiently, and replied: "It's an eventful time, so don't make any more trouble. There's still some time left for the general election in Gangnan Village. When the turmoil at the ferry subsides, it's not too late for you to do it again."

Gu Changhong felt a little regretful.

In this way, such a big piece of fat can only be eaten a few days later. I am not afraid of being late, but I am afraid of long nights and many dreams. What a pity if I can't eat it!
"Well, it's still the head of the township that's thoughtful, so what, I can't help you here, so I'll go back first."

Gu Changhong exited the mayor's office on tiptoe, and gently closed the door of the office from the outside, leaving Mayor Tian alone on the sofa to take a nap... Oh, no, thinking about work.

Tian Shaowu, who didn't sleep well all night, really fell asleep now, not only snoring evenly, but also had a dream by the way.In the dream, he went to inspect the ferry in person, and as a result, the ferry suddenly turned into a flood dragon, which set off monstrous waves on the river and dragged him into the bottom of the river. The river was so cold...

Tian Shaowu woke up suddenly.

call--

It turned out that he didn't know who turned on the electric fan for him.

"Prepare the car, I'm going to Zhaojiabu Ferry for a walk."

……

There are more than 23 folks in [-] villages in Shigang Township. If they want to go to the urban area of ​​Chancheng, the Zhaojiabu Ferry is the closest and most convenient.

Although there is a bridge on the upper reaches of the Xijiang River, and another bridge on the lower reaches of the Xijiang River, if one uses the river bridge, at least one has to detour and walk an extra [-] miles or so.

For folks who use two legs to measure the distance, a journey of more than [-] miles is equivalent to more than half a day's travel time. For cyclists, it is at least two hours of energy wasted. If you take a bus, you have to transfer at least two buses in between.

And crossing the river from Zhaojiabu Ferry, within a few steps of crossing the river, there is a bus station, and the shuttle bus to downtown Chancheng takes only 10 minutes, which is very convenient.As for the road in the village, folks can choose to take the public bus, or take the village tractor, or ride a bicycle.

This highlights the strategic position and significance of Zhaojiabu Ferry in terms of transportation in Shigang Township.

As the head of a township, Tian Shaowu is not very familiar with Zhaojiabu Ferry.

He is not from Shigang Township. He lived on the east bank of the Xijiang River when he was a child, and came to Shigang Township after he took part in work as an adult.When I first came to work, I often went back to my hometown. Later, I got married and had a child in Shigang Township, and I only went back once or twice a year.Whether he goes back often or once or twice a year, he takes the bus.

Later, when he became the head of the township, he didn't have to take the Zhaojiabu Ferry, because the government provided him with a special car, a jeep eliminated by the county.

On the way, Tian Shaowu still wanted to squint for a while, but the bumps of the vehicle made it impossible for him to fall asleep, so he simply rubbed his face, forcibly lifted his spirits, and made some preparations in advance for the next inspection.

"Who is in charge of Zhaojiabu ferry now? I mean the specific person in charge, not Chen Cangwei."

There were only the driver and him in the car. This question was obviously addressed to the driver.

The driver is a native of Shigang Township. His hometown is not far from Gangnan Village, so he is quite familiar with the situation at the ferry.

"The seventh uncle of the Liu family in Gangnan Village."

"Seventh uncle of the Liu family? Shouldn't he be too young?"

The driver master is two years older than Tian Shaowu, he must be called an uncle, so he must be quite old.

The answer is indeed so.

"That's right, the old man was a person who went to the battlefield before liberation. He is over [-] years old, and the ordinary young people with a strong body can't compare."

Tian Shaowu suddenly felt his heart twitch twice, this old man, he seems to have such an impression!
Oh, I remembered... When I visited Gangnan Village three years ago to inspect the village affairs, an old man almost smacked Chen Cangwei in the face with a long bamboo pole used for punting, saying that he wanted to vent his anger on his grandson.

This seventh uncle of the Liu family has a fiery temper. When we get to the ferry, we have to be careful with our words and deeds. Don't make him angry. The old man threw himself into the river with a bamboo pole...

The road conditions were better and a little bit worse, but finally bumped to Zhaojiabu Ferry.

Tian Shaowu was very lucky. When he got off the car, the ferry had just landed on the west bank.

It was already in the afternoon, and few people would rush to the urban area of ​​Chancheng at this time. Therefore, there were far more people getting off the ferry than boarding the ferry.A villager recognized Mr. Tian, ​​and everyone greeted Mr. Tian to give up the front seat, but Tian Shaowu just smiled and waved, and consciously lined up at the back of the boarding queue.

When I got on the boat, I saw the old man standing at the bow of the boat.

"Uncle Liu Qi, do you still recognize me? Tian Shaowu from the village!"

Uncle Qi turned his head, squinted his eyes and looked at him twice. He was old and his body was strong, but his blindness was not forgiving.

"It's the head of Tianxiang, what's the matter, you want to cross the river to go to Chancheng?" Uncle Qi raised his hands and looked at the shore, then greeted him: "Why don't you drive up? Although our ferry is not big, it can carry your jeep."

Tian Shaowu smiled and said, "I don't cross the river, I'm here to see your old man."

Seventh Uncle was startled for a moment, then thought of something, and then with a bright smile on his face, he came up to him and took Mayor Tian to the cockpit.

"Major Tian is here because of the fight for the ferry between the Gangdong and Gangnan families?"

Tian Shaowu didn't intend to hide it from the grumpy old man, so he briefly explained the situation, and poured out some embarrassment from the village government to Qi Shugong.

Seventh Uncle really hit it off at one point.

Before Tian Shaowu finished speaking, the old man burst into foul language.

"The second son of the Chen family is such a jerk. How could he cause so much trouble for the village government for the sake of the village's self-interest? I didn't like what Chen Laosan did at the beginning, but when I came back, it was a done deal. Now that you, the mayor of Tian, ​​are in charge of the work of the township government, the boss of the Zhao family sees hope and wants to bring back the Zhaojiabu Ferry. That, that, that's reasonable!"

Tian Shaowu couldn't help but beam with joy, and quickly asked: "From what Uncle Liu Qi said, it should be agreed to return the ferry to Gangdong Village?"

Uncle Qi replied firmly: "Of course! What was the behavior of Chen Laosan back then? Yes, it was called bullying and stealing. If this kind of thing was put on the table, he, Chen Laosan, would have no face to meet the ancestors of the Chen family. It's not that Chen Er'er doesn't know, but he has been going on with Gangdong Zhao's family for so long, is he trying to discredit his third uncle's famous name?"

Tian Shaowu said with emotion: "Uncle Liu Qi really understands righteousness. Our father and I have the same views on this matter. I am also worried that this matter will ruin the reputation of Uncle Chen's family!"

Regarding the so-called Fengshui Village Movement, Uncle Qi said that he didn't believe in it before but now he does. He just wanted to strengthen the foundation of the existence of the so-called big men.As for the village movement in Gangnan Village, Uncle Qi didn't take it to heart at all. The big shots have shown up, so do you still care about the village movement?

Besides, Gangnan Village doesn't belong to his Chen family's clan. What kind of shit does his family's ancestors have to do with the current Gangnan Village?Now Gangnan Village is counting on his grandson of Liu Qiye, who is born in the year of snake.Snakes are transported on the mountain, and they will drown if they fall into the river.

"Major Tian, ​​don't worry about this anymore. Tonight, I'll go find the second son of the Chen family. If he agrees, he must agree. If he doesn't agree, he must agree. Within five days, the ferry must be returned to Gangdong Village."

When Tian Shaowu was too excited to speak, Qi Shugong added another sentence while the iron was hot:
"However, it seems that the ferry at this ferry is not enough. If Gangdong Village wants to take back the ferry, it has to agree to add a bigger ferry to the ferry."

Tian Shaowu shouted in his heart: Uncle Seven of the Liu family, you are really my uncle, as long as you can help me settle this matter, I will let Zhao Gongbo add two more ferries.
