When Song Xiaolong's machinery and equipment and the excavator appeared on the river beach of the sand and gravel field in Tongping Township, they still caused a great sensation. Especially when they saw the excavator, driven by a focused operator, slowly coming off the modified boat, the onlookers suddenly let out countless exclamations. At this time, excavators were still a rarity. There seemed to be no more than five in the entire Nanping County, and the second-hand one that Song Xiaolong bought was said to be imported from Japan. This little Japan has a very bad conscience, but the quality of the things it produces is still good. That operator is an employee of the construction company in Jiangling City. This time he came to Tongping Township because he had agreed on the terms with the vice president surnamed Li when he bought this second-hand machine. He helped drive the excavator to the sand and gravel field, and Song Xiaolong, a nephew who was responsible for teaching Song Xiaolong, paid him fifty yuan a day. You must know that the salary was quite high at the time. Even Hong Jingtian, the deputy mayor, earned less than 600 yuan per month. On average, the income per day is less than 20 yuan. Although the operator surnamed Liu had strong opinions about the company disposing of the intact excavator to a private owner, he was only a small employee and had no influence on this matter. Besides, Boss Song was a generous person, and he was very tempted by asking him to take care of his apprentices in the sand and gravel field for fifty yuan a day. ¡° Moreover, this matter has been approved by the company, so naturally he will not refuse. After the behemoth landed successfully, it was very simple to get the sand and gravel equipment on board to the shore. I saw the operator driving the excavator onto the river beach, and then made a beautiful rotation, and the long steel arm was extended to the boat. Several workers helped hang the rope on the machine to the giant teeth of the excavator. Then the long arm was raised, and the machine soared into the air very easily. Then the excavator's tracks rotated, and with a huge roar, it drove the machine and equipment to the predetermined installation location. With the help of an excavator, in less than an hour, Song Xiaolong¡¯s machinery and equipment were all placed at the installation location, just waiting for workers to install them. In the following days, the operator surnamed Liu began to patiently teach Song Xiaolong¡¯s nephew Song Yahu. At the same time, the two drove the excavator to help clean up the sand and gravel field. As for Shizhu Mountain, after arriving at the sand and gravel field, they followed Song Xiaolong's instructions and took the dozen or so workers they hired to start building offices and storage rooms. Of course, in order to save money, these buildings are made of cardboard and felt. After all, the sand and gravel field has limited funds, so the money must be used sparingly. Hong Jingtian only told Du Shaoqiang about the situation on the phone after returning from Jiangling City, and did not ask about the sand and gravel yard. Originally, Ke Yulan wrote a letter asking him to go to the provincial capital, but Luo Yunzhong was pressing for the construction of the dock. The drawing design and project budget of the wharf have been done by the township before, so they can just pull it out. However, the 400-meter connecting road was added at Hong Jingtian's strong suggestion. Naturally, drawings were required for the project. Design and engineering budget. In the past two days, Hong Jingtian accompanied the forestry engineers from the Transportation Bureau to carry out engineering survey and design of that section of road. Due to the tight schedule, he was extremely busy and did not even go to the provincial capital that he wanted to go to. After three days of busy work, the survey and design work of the connecting road was completed. Later, Du Gong helped the township government make a project budget. After the project budget was prepared, Hong Jingtian took Lin Gong to Secretary Luo Yunzhong¡¯s office. "Secretary Luo, the survey and engineering budget for that section of the road have been released. This is thanks to the forest engineer." After the forest engineer sat down, Hong Jingtian took out the Hongta Mountain and handed one to Secretary Luo and the forest engineer each. The forest worker took the cigarette and was about to light it when he heard Hong Jingtian's words and said sheepishly: "Secretary Luo, when I came down, Director Tan personally told me that I must help you design this section of the road. I came down Later, the cadres in your township were very cooperative with my work, especially Deputy Township Chief Hong, who has been working on the front line. The credit should mainly be attributed to the comrades in Tongping Township. "Luo Yunzhong did not expect this scholar. Lin Gong was so angry that he could speak like this. He glanced at Hong Jingtian inadvertently and said: "Lin Gong, no matter what, without your strong support, we really can't design this road. On behalf of Tongping The villagers thank you.¡± After some polite words, the forest engineer explained the entire project in detail and said that the project drawings could be completed in three days. Although most of the drawings have been released, formal engineering drawings still need to be stamped by the design office. What Lin Gong has to do now is to take the drawings back and let the design office stamp them after they pass them. Completed??The engineering drawings and related budgets are waiting for the county to approve the project. It can be said that the construction of the wharf and the construction of the connecting road have already seen the dawn of victory. The Luo Yun Center was so happy that he waved his hands and left Lin Gong and the others to have a drink in Tongping Hotel. Then he chartered a motor boat and asked Hong Jingtian to take Lin Gong and the others to Pengxi Town on his behalf. A van took them back to the county town. After Hong Jingtian watched the forest workers and the others leave Pengxi Town, he lit a cigarette and smoked it all the way. When he returned to the dock, Lei Laowu was squatting on the bow of the boat smoking. When he saw Hong Jingtian coming back, he threw away the cigarette butt and greeted him. Go up. "Lin Gong and the others are leaving?" "Let's go, let's go back." Hong Jingtian nodded and ordered. At the lunch meal, all the leaders at home in Tongping Township were present, which moved Lin Gong very much. Naturally, he drank more wine. When he came out of Tongping Hotel, the afternoon boat had already left, and Secretary Luo Yunzhong Let Hong Jingtian charter a boat to take the forest workers back. The only motor boat running for passenger transport in the village is Lei Laowu's. The other one runs from Pengxi to Tongping. The owner of the boat is from Pengxi Town. Lei Laowu saw Hong Jingtian coming to charter the boat and agreed without saying a word. After Hong Jingtian let Lin Gong and others into the cabin, he went to chat with Lei Laowu. Last time he promised to have a drink with Lei Laowu, but he never had time. This time the two of them agreed that after returning to Tongping Township, they would find a few people and have a good meal at Tongping Hotel. The speed of launching the boat was naturally much faster than loading it. When we arrived at Tongping Township and parked the boat, it was almost six o'clock. Lei Laowu asked Hong Jingtian to inform the people, and he ran to Tongping Hotel to make arrangements. At half past six, in the small room on the second floor of Tongping Hotel, Hong Jingtian, Yang Zainan, Xiao Zhigang, Zhou Anguo and Wu Jun from the police station, Lei Laowu, Shi Xuecheng, Zhong Qinghua, the owner of the sand and gravel field Song Xiaolong and Hong Jingtian's brother-in-law There were ten people in Shizhu Mountain sitting together. Song Xiaolong is indeed a well-rounded person. He has only been in the village for a few days and has become very familiar with many cadres in the village. As for the boat owners on the Fuyang River, he knows all of them. The cadres in this township were of course notified by Hong Jingtian, while Song Xiaolong and Shi Xuecheng were invited by Lei Laowu. After the wine was delivered, Lei Laowu stood up immediately, grabbed the bottle with his two big hands and twisted open the double groove he brought, took the glass on the table and started pouring the wine. In order to have a good time drinking tonight, Lei Laowu brought a Shuanggou opera here. After everyone had a glass of wine in front of them, Lei Laowu stood up, raised his glass, looked at everyone and said, "Come on, let me toast everyone here first. You all know that I am a rough man and I can't say anything." What nice words, I'll drink this cup, you can do whatever you want." Hong Jingtian saw that he was very excited and said with a smile: "Boss Lei is a loyal man, so Boss Lei also sits down, everyone here is a friend, tonight. You can drink this wine while sitting down. No one is allowed to stand up. ""Okay, just listen to Mayor Hong." Lei Laowu sat down obediently, still holding the wine glass in his hands. The nine glasses were clinked together, and then they said dry. Lei Laowu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Hong Jingtian glanced at him with some admiration and drank the wine in the glass. Yang Zainan and Zhou Anguo didn't expect to drink so much. However, even Deputy Township Chief Hong drank. Others only drank half a glass. They drank the whole first glass of wine.
