Chen Qiaoshan stood under the lotus tree, as if he had forgotten everything in the past.

Hibiscus is also called Hehuan. Hehuan exorcises anger and daylily forgets worries.

He looked at Yan Xiaoqin with a smile beside him, and his irritability gradually calmed down.

Su Qiong drove a car to pick up people at the school gate. She discussed with Yan Wengang for half a night last night. After all, her daughter is already an adult, and it is not appropriate to treat her the same way as before.

Chen Qiaoshan’s news is full of heated news. He is actually a good choice for his daughter to really have to be friends. The couple discussed for a long time and finally reached a consensus. They were not rejected or encouraged by their relationship. However, they had to give their daughter privately that they should pay attention to their daily relationship, as girls could easily suffer losses.

Su Qiong took the initiative to say hello, Chen Qiaoshan was flattered. He chatted with Yan Mama with a little care. Yan Xiaoqin was very happy and happily pulled Chen Xi into Yan Mama's car together.

How could a mother not understand the changes in her daughter's expression? Su Qiong felt very uncomfortable. Although there would be such a day sooner or later, when she was facing it, her parents were still a little emotional.

Chen Qiaoshan still lives in Sun's house at night, and Sun Dafu called in the afternoon, and there was something wrong with buying machines.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Qiaoshan was pulled over by Sun's father, "Come on, Dashan, let me introduce you to you. This is Wang Zhongliang, who is the deputy director of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau. Just call Uncle Wang!"

Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly greeted: "Uncle Wang!"

"You are Chen Qiaoshan, I know you, the young man is very good!"

It seems that Sun Dafu has introduced himself in advance, "Uncle Wang, I am a junior, just call me Dashan!"

Wang Zhongliang had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his waist was straight, and he was probably in his early forties. He had no extra fat on his body, and he could not tell the appearance of a deputy department-level official.

Sun Dafu said: "Dashan, Lao Wang and I are comrades-in-arms. After more than ten years of friendship, you can find him with your problems!"

Chen Qiaoshan suddenly realized that no wonder he looked so energetic. He was also a soldier, but he became a deputy director and was able to maintain his military style. It was really rare.

"Who is your comrade-in-arms with you? You are a fire-headed army. I am a scout!"

"Get out of here. If I hadn't helped you, you would have been assigned to feed pigs. How could it be your turn to show off here!"

"Okay, Xiao Wang and Dashan, come and sit here. Let's have a meal and talk!" Mr. Sun began to greet him.

Wang Zhongliang smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Sun, I won't be polite to you!"

It can be seen that Wang Zhongliang and the Sun family have a good relationship.

At the dinner table, Chen Qiaoshan briefly talked about the situation at home and talked about buying a machine.

Wang Zhongliang said: "Don't say, it's really possible to dig wells, the market is really big!!"

Dad Sun asked, "What do you say?"

"The countryside is short of water, and the rainfall is very small in recent years. The city has prepared for drought relief this year!"

"Is it really that serious?" Mr. Sun interrupted.

Mr. Sun was assigned to work at the train station when he was discharged from the army. The whole family lived in the city, so it was not surprising that he didn't know the situation in the countryside.

For them, whether it rains or not has little impact. For the people who farm, the amount of rain directly determines the harvest of the year. Whether it can be harvested or not depends entirely on God's mood.

In recent years, there has been a drought and the ground is severely short of water. It can only be irrigated by pumping water. However, not one household has water shortage, and they all go to pump water, which leads to insufficient power supply. At this time, the government can only give priority to ensuring power supply in cities, and rural areas will shut down power limits, forming a vicious cycle.

In the summer, Sun's living room is still air conditioned, and the electricity consumption on this day is comparable to irrigating ten acres of land, but the countryside can only watch.

Chen Qiaoshan said helplessly: "Our village is already dry, and my family has to travel two miles to pick up water."

Everyone in the Sun family was a little surprised, and the old lady Sun asked, "Why is the news not broadcast?"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled bitterly. There were only two days after SARS, so there was no time to pay attention to the drought in remote rural areas at this time.

Wang Zhongliang said, "Aunt, this is just the beginning!"

Chen Qiaoshan had no choice. From the city to the town, and from the town to the village, the government alone would not solve the problem for a while.

"Uncle Wang, my family wants to buy a well drilling machine. What are your ways?"

"Dafu told me in the afternoon that there is one in Nanyang Machinery Factory. Their factory has business relationships with us. I have inquired about it and there are several models!"

"It's mainly for digging wells for farmland!"

"This machine is not cheap, it's probably less than 20,000!"

In rural areas, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount. In 2002, the per capita annual income in rural areas was less than 2,800. Wang Zhongliang belonged to the Agricultural Bureau, and no one knew better than him.

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "The money is fine. Do we need to go to the factory to bring it up?"

Wang Zhongliang smiled and said, "No, just get some deposit and get it over. They have a bad business these days, and the machinery factory can't do it anymore!"

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned, "Uncle Wang, what should I do if the after-sales service of that machine is there?"

Wang Zhongliang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. It's not that good. The state-owned factories are now starting to compete for reputation in the market, and they will not be able to defeat it for a while!"

...

After the serious talk, the atmosphere gradually became warmer. Sun's father and Wang Zhongliang began to fight for wine. In their words, as cadres, they should be able to write, speak, eat and drink.

After a few glasses of wine, the two started talking and recalling the past.

Wang Zhongliang was really a scout. He participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and made a second-class merit. Later, he was promoted to the military academy and went around in circles to the deputy regiment level. As a result, he was forced to transfer to the local area when he encountered a major disarmament. He was arranged to be the deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau for several years.

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wang, have you really been on the battlefield?"

"That's right, I was a scout at that time and had been at the forefront of the battlefield!" Wang Zhongliang's tone was very proud.

Fatty Sun interrupted and said, "Uncle Wang, aren't you afraid of death when you go to the front line?"

Mr. Sun glared at his grandson and taught a lesson: "What nonsense!"

"Everyone has my mother, who can't be afraid of death? So what can you do if you are afraid of death? You really don't have time to consider this issue on the battlefield."

After Wang Zhongliang finished speaking, he stared at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "Dashan, the newspapers talk about you every day about being brave. Are you afraid of death when you go into the water?"

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned, thought for a while and said, "It should be afraid!"

Sun Guangming said: "How come I remember you didn't mean to be afraid at all?"

Chen Qiaoshan said angrily: "At that time, I just thought about saving people, but I didn't think so much about it."

"Isn't this the same thing, a truth!"

Although Wang Zhongliang said it lightly, Chen Qiaoshan knew that going to the battlefield was far from that simple. Although he had not experienced it personally, the information in later generations was well developed and he had seen too many real and miserable scenes.

Just before March 20, the United States launched a war against Iraq, and announced the end of the operation in mid-April, which only took half a month. However, Chen Qiaoshan knew that the war was far from over and lasted for more than nine years, directly causing the deaths of more than 100,000 people. The cruelty of the war can be seen.

This topic is too heavy and no one wants to talk about it. The atmosphere on the scene is a little silent for a while.

Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Uncle Wang, do you know the people from the Agricultural Machinery Station?"

"What do you ask about this? Agricultural machinery stations do not sell well drilling machines!"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little strange, Wang Zhongliang's tone was a little strange, he explained: "I want to buy some supporting facilities."

Wang Zhongliang said: "I can't help with this, so it may be more troublesome to find me!"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little depressed. He threw it away halfway. Isn’t this awesome!

Sun Dafu explained: "Dashan, let's talk about this matter again. Lao Wang has a little conflict with Li Chaoyang from the Agricultural Machinery Station!"

Wang Zhongliang was unwilling to do it, "He is worthy! He is Li Chaoyang, who is just a corrupt man. He wants to do whatever he wants, but he just doesn't do practical things!"

This is the social atmosphere, and it will take a long time to suffer before the country will start to fight corruption in an all-round way.
