those years of rebirth

This is what Chen Xiaoling said in her letter: When I am free, I will carve wood with a knife, and one day, I will always carve you exactly the same.

Every time Chen Xiaoling wrote a letter, it was as if she was sitting and talking with Wang Hengxiao in her hometown before, talking wherever she thought of.

Wang Hengxiao smiled.

Put away this wooden man with nose, eyes, mouth and ears.

I don't know if there will be any improvement next time this girl sends it.

At this time, Wang Hengxiao heard the voices of his parents in the room outside.

"It's about to be watered, and the person at the water pipe station said we have to go to the back."

This is the voice of my father: "I went to find them. In fact, they can't run out of water. Spring is a good time for the snow on the mountains to come down. They take the water to the west to irrigate it. We don’t water the grassland and woods we use.”

"Then what should I do?" The mother's voice was very urgent, which was her temperament: "If the water is delayed, it will happen later."

"I heard from those people that it was Michael who greeted them and refused to water us."

Father's voice was a little worried.

Last time, when receiving the means of production, I had a conflict with Mayor Mai Keti, and forcibly took away the means of production.Although he didn't pursue it afterwards, it seems that the mayor of Mai Keti didn't dare to pursue it because he himself was wrong.But Michelle holds power in his hand and is used to enjoying it. If there is a person who disobeys him, he will naturally be beaten by his power.

It is very easy for Wang Daguo's family to encounter some troubles.

Most of the rural farming in Xinjiang still depends on the sky for irrigation. Rainwater and snowwater are the main sources of irrigation.Therefore, cultivated land can only be built along the mountains, and the settlements are along the line of the Tianshan Mountains.The mountains behind Hehui Township are what the people here rely on.Spring plowing every year is irrigated by snow water from the mountains.In summer and autumn, it depends on rain.

On the mountain, a reservoir was specially built to store water.

Because farming here is really not profitable, the common people have no money to dig their own wells, and the township government has no money to invest.

For the land to be cultivated every year, you must go to the water management station to report in advance. The people at the water management station will arrange irrigation time for you, because there are only a few canals, and they must be irrigated in order, from top to bottom, one team and one team. .But in recent years, at least half of the land in Hehui Township has been barren, so much of this water resource has been wasted.

Fees are charged by mu. How much is one mu of land a year? At this time, it seems to be five yuan per mu of land.

Wang Daguo's [-] mu of land is at the bottom of the brigade, and after the irrigated land of the upper team is completed, it will be the brigade in the middle.It stands to reason that Wang Daguo's land belongs to the second batch of irrigation, but this time the water management station arranged to irrigate the woods and a piece of wild grass on the west side first.Then it was Wang Daguo's turn after a circle.

This time, it was nearly a month late.

At that time, the cotton that has just grown will die of drought.

Wang Hengxiao was very aware of the stakes involved, and frowned in his heart. He was the one who insisted on motivating his parents to fiddle with the [-] mu of land. Naturally, he had the responsibility to make the cotton on the [-] mu of land grow smoothly. To grow up, avoid corruption as much as possible.It was immediately decided to go to the brigade to see Yu Wencheng tomorrow.

Although the police station in Hehui Township has only three or four people, it is fully equipped, with a chief and deputy chief.Some time ago, the old deputy director retired, and Yu Wencheng served as the deputy director at the age of [-]. He is considered a serious and small cadre, and he even came to Wang Daguo to celebrate.

Father can also think of this: "Tomorrow I will go to Xiaoyu and ask him to talk to Mayor Mai Keti to have a look."

Talking to acquaintances is the consistent practice of all Chinese people.

However, Wang Hengxiao and his father have different ideas. The father's idea is to let Xiao Yu go to matchmaking, and then build a good relationship with the mayor of Mai Keti. When necessary, it is okay to give some benefits, as long as he does not Just keep making trouble for yourself.

But Wang Hengxiao's idea is much more radical, allowing Yu Wencheng to report what Michael has done here.

........................

The next day, Wang Hengxiao didn't go to find Yu Wencheng, because he still had to go to school, so he could only go to the brigade to talk to Yu Wencheng on the weekend.And Wang Daguo went to the brigade to find Yu Wencheng, and he asked him to help invite Mai Keti to have a meal with the mayor, and then talk about something.

In Hehui Township, Yu Wencheng regarded Wang Daguo as an acquaintance, and every time he was free, he would go to the brick factory to join him. Therefore, Wang Daguo had absolutely no problem asking him for help.That afternoon, he invited Mayor Mai Keti to the restaurant and ordered a large plate of chicken, dozens of skewers of barbecue, and free beer.

Wang Daguo was naturally the party to treat the guests.

"Hehe, Mayor Mai Keti, come and do it."

People in Xinjiang are bold, and they don't need a cup to drink beer. Wang Daguo has been here for several years, and he has also learned it. A bottle of beer can be eaten immediately.

Mai Keti also likes wine and meat, eating barbecue and big plate chicken with a shiny face, he laughed and said: "Old Wang, I knew it, you want to treat me to dinner."

Mai Keti was extremely proud. He lost face with Wang Daguo last time, but he was aggrieved for a long time. He was thinking about this matter all the time, looking for an opportunity to let Wang Daguo know how good he is, how good he is. It's the head of the township, it's the official.

Farming must be irrigated and watered!

McCarty got it right.

Wang Daguo said with a smile: "Yes, I have always wanted to treat you to dinner. At that time, you were the leader and the head of the township, and you were very busy every day. How can I spare time? Today I finally invite you to dinner... Mo polite……"

Yu Wencheng also laughed and said, "Hehe, Uncle Wang rarely eats out."

This year's money is very tight, every week grocery shopping is planned, Wang Daguo has no spare money to eat out.This time, I had no choice but to ask Mai Ke to mention the mayor, and I was ready to bleed, and I had 300 yuan with me.

In this day and age, 300 yuan is not a small amount. When Wang Daguo worked in a brick factory, his monthly salary was only about [-] yuan.

Although Mai Keti is the head of the township, his real monthly salary is five or six hundred.

Mai Keti nodded, his expression was very smug, he didn't even look at Wang Daguo, he just ate the meat, and then drank the beer heartily.

Wang Daguo knew that this guy was waiting for his statement, so he took out the prepared 400 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into Mai Keti's pocket, and said with a smile: "Mai Keti Township Chief, look, our Cotton seedlings have sprouted in the field, seedling seedlings are coming to an end, and the watering time has been delayed, can you tell the person at the water management station for help? Let us water first?"

Mai Keti's eyes lit up, and he touched his pocket with his greasy hand, and he knew how much he knew. A smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Wang Daguo with more kindness, and laughed loudly: "Hehe, old Wang , the [-] mu of land you planted this year is an important publicity in our township. The county has said that it will give you discounts and conveniences. You can't let other people see that farming is not profitable , it's still difficult!"

"Don't worry, I just talked to Reyimu in the afternoon, and I will make arrangements for you to water you as soon as possible."

Wang Daguo suddenly showed a look of great joy, picked up a bottle of beer, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Mayor Mai Keti, come, drink..."

Snapped……

Yu Wencheng's wine bottle was also touched.

The three drank in one go.

After eating for more than two hours, a large plate of chicken was served in the middle, and it was considered finished, and Mai Keti went back a little drunk.

Yu Wencheng took Wang Daguo, who was also a little dizzy, to the dormitory of his police station to have a rest, and was going to ride a motorcycle to take Wang Daguo back later.

"Uncle Wang, this mayor, Mai Keti, is not a good thing. He ate hundreds of dollars at once? My monthly salary is more than 300 yuan. Damn..."

Yu Wencheng said angrily.

Although he is angry, it is hard to do anything. He is an outsider here. What he can do is to maintain the usual law and order and help the common people do small things, such as looking for lost cattle and sheep, and settling conflicting neighbors wait.However, Yu Wencheng still had an impulse in his heart, wanting to do something exciting, preferably something earth-shattering.

Not long after he graduated from the police academy, and he was still a young man in his teens, he was at the time when he was full of blood and impulsive.

"Hehe, Xiao Yu, there's nothing I can do. He won't let me water more than 1000 mu of land, and the cotton in my field will all dry up and die in the field."

Wang Daguo lay on the bed with some emotion, his face was exhausted and helpless, and said: "People have power in their hands, we ordinary people can only obey..."

Yu Wencheng nodded slightly, with some disappointment and many complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, which was different from his previous thoughts.

In the evening, when Wang Hengxiao returned home, he didn't see his father at home. After a while, he saw Yu Wencheng riding a motorcycle to send his father back. Then he knew that his father went to the brigade to treat Mai Keti to a meal and gave him 400 yuan. Yuan money, and then solved the difficult problem of watering this time.

Seeing his father coming home and lying down, he fell asleep.

Wang Hengxiao was a little distressed, and asked her mother to take care of her father, and took her sister out by herself, so as not to disturb her father's rest, and said a few words to Yu Wencheng.

"Brother Yu, you are a policeman, shouldn't you arrest those corrupt officials who took bribes?"

Wang Hengxiao said in the tone of a child.

Yu Wencheng smiled wryly, patted Wang Hengxiao's head, held Wang Hengxiao's sister in his arms, and said: "It's not that you can catch it if you say it. It's not that simple. I want to catch it too, but I can't catch it." , and also, can’t catch it.”

Wang Hengxiao nodded slightly. He knew that the Xinjiang region took care of ethnic minorities. Although ethnic minority officials could not sit in the top positions, if they committed some crimes, they would be dealt with lightly. Unless it was a serious crime, they would The actual sentencing or something.Ordinary small mistakes, maybe they won't be held accountable, and they will just be punished or something.If you look into it, at best you will be demoted or resigned.
