Chen Laosan's face turned stern again, "I don't know what you are talking about."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Huo Qianli said, "If you leave, I'm afraid this matter will really be unresolved."
Chen Laosan paused, Huo Qianli pulled him back, and then said, "You want to solve your son's marriage problem, whether it's a house or money, it's impossible to do so through road construction and demolition. The government has opened the door for you, and the rest of the families must follow suit. If your family adds a hundred, the government will have to pay several thousand more in total, so the government will definitely not agree."
"But, in fact, it doesn't have to go through these two things." Huo Qianli looked at Chen Laosan who was about to get angry again, "I can give you a third way."
He smiled and said, "The industrial park is just starting up. It's not difficult to find a job for your son and possible daughter-in-law. As long as they are willing to come, they can earn money, live close to home, and have a future. Isn't this a more long-term and reliable thing than giving you a little money or an extra room?"
The questions he had asked the village chief of Yutou Village earlier were about Chen Laosan's family situation.
As soon as he heard Chen Laosan only say that it would be delayed for a few days without giving any reason, he guessed that there must be something wrong. Then he happened to find out that he had a son who had graduated from a junior college and brought his girlfriend back for the New Year. He went to his girlfriend's house for the past two days.
The village chief said that Chen Laosan's son was not particularly outstanding, but he had good character. In addition, college students were also very competitive in this mountain village. While Huo Qianli was thinking about how to solve the problem, he began to think about catching rabbits by robbing straw.
Chen Laosan thought silently for a while, then shook his head, "What kind of money can I make from this mountain scrambler? I can earn more than this by working outside for a month!"
"Yes, I don't deny it. Even if your son and daughter-in-law are very capable, they can only make 3,000 yuan a month at most in the management committee. If they go to a big city, they may easily earn 4,000 or 5,000 yuan. But..." Huo Qianli looked at him, "Have you ever thought about how expensive it is to eat and live in a big city? He earns 4,000 or 5,000 yuan, and rent and food can cost him 2,000 or 3,000 yuan. In the end, he still doesn't make as much as he does here."
"Besides, he works in the Management Committee, and the head of the Management Committee is the secretary of our town. He is also a leader in the county. If your son does a good job, he may have a chance to become an official in the future. Is this something he can earn by working outside?"
"I'm being honest with you, and there's only so much I can do. If you still don't agree, there's nothing I can do about it. I can only report it truthfully, and I can't control whether they change the route or not."
"Oh, by the way, whether you agree or not, I'm telling you that you can't tell anyone else about this. Your son is a college student after all, and someone else, a junior high school student, asked me for this treatment. Think about it yourself, don't you feel bad?"
"As for the beating, to be honest, you should have calmed down now. Huitoushan Ancient Town will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
After saying that, Chen Laosan stood there without moving, and Huo Qianli stood up and walked back to the yard.
Gu Daqiang and several staff members cast inquiring glances, and even Old Man Lan looked up.
Huo Qianli shook his head gently, "I've said everything I can. Whether it succeeds or not depends on him."
After a cigarette, Chen Laosan came back and looked at Huo Qianli, "Where is the agreement? Sign it for me!"
......
Half an hour later, in the darkness of the night, everyone sent Old Man Lan to the side of the road where he parked his car. They watched him silently ride his motorcycle into the night. The long beam of light from his headlights gradually disappeared from their sight, just like his burned-out political life.
A staff member whispered: "This person's career should arrive early."
Another person next to him sighed, "Actually, it seems today that he usually does a pretty good job at his grassroots work."
These young staff members felt sympathetic and couldn't help but feel a sense of grief. "One mistake negates everything. Is that really a good thing?"
"You can't think like that!"
Huo Qianli spoke softly but firmly, "Reality often makes people feel very unfair. Why should a good person be accused of being exposed for doing a bad thing, while a bad person can be praised for turning over a new leaf when he does a good thing?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Why can't we tolerate good people making mistakes?"
Several staff members deeply agreed with Huo Qianli's words and couldn't help but speak up.
"But everyone, wrong is wrong, right is right, why can adding a premise change the nature of it?"
Huo Qianli looked at them and said, "What we oppose is always to deny the whole thing just because of one bad thing, but right and wrong are never ambiguous. We can't say that a good person did a bad thing, and the bad thing is not a bad thing."
Someone else objected, "But if the merits and demerits are offset, then the merits outweigh the demerits! This kind of treatment is too cruel!"
Huo Qianli shook his head. Their ideas were once his own. He had raised this question to Han Zhiyuan at that time.
Han Zhiyuan talked to him a lot, and there were a few words that he still remembered.
"It is a common idea to offset one's merits with one's demerits, but it is also an extremely wrong view in terms of governing philosophy."
"Just imagine what would happen if the working philosophy of "one good thing covers up a hundred bad things" became mainstream in our government work."
"As long as you make achievements at work and don't kill people, making some mistakes is just a minor issue. Political achievements can cover up all kinds of mistakes, and you can get honors and promotions. What will be the consequences if such a concept becomes the motto of our leading cadres?"
Huo Qianli didn't say much, but the staff present were all silent.
"Let's go back. It's freezing cold, go home early."
Huo Qianli turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and the faint light shone on the rugged mountain road. Everyone carefully set out on the return journey.
In the woods, the light flickers like a few fireflies flying around.
"Cadre Huo, if this is the case, what should we do in the future?"
“Like now.”
"Now?"
"Trembling with fear, treading on thin ice."
----------------
Before I knew it, it has exceeded 500,000 words.
Regardless of the result, it can be regarded as a small milestone in my new attempt.
So, let's have a little lottery.
The welfare building below is being built, and the winning floor will be announced in the group tomorrow.
500,000, choose five welfare floors, the prizes are:
A 50 yuan Jingdong card, a 30 yuan Jingdong card, a 20 yuan Jingdong card, a cash red envelope, and one more I haven’t decided on yet (I wanted to post an autographed photo but felt it was too shameless).
Welfare Building.
