Li He still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about Huang Hao's attitude when he left. God!
Little Lai said that he was afraid that if he did something bad, Li Long wouldn't be able to do business in the county safely. He still had to think of a way to deal with it, so that he wouldn't have to be careful every day. He didn't have the problem of being soft-hearted, and he wasn't used to being on guard against people behind his back.
In less than two days, the well digger finally arrived. He had pushed it from before the New Year to after the New Year. It could be seen that their business was also booming.
Li He roughly chose an area and began to choose the location of the water mouth. The well couldn't be too deep or too shallow. Under normal circumstances, it was appropriate to be 15-20 meters deep.
After choosing the location, the three well diggers began to work. The tools were very simple. Two shovels, a blower, and a pump. It was still the old-fashioned way of working.
Every day, a meal was provided at noon. After three or four consecutive days, they dug to the deep water layer. The hole was built with red bricks, and a well was dug. The pump pumped the mud and sewage for half a day, and it settled for two days.
Li He asked Li Long to go to the county to buy a pump and a water pipe. He placed it in the well and pumped it directly into the water tank at home.
Wang Yulan was happy that she could save a lot of effort. Although she needed electricity, there was no electricity meter, and the electricity bill was the same. Only a fool would not take advantage of it.
Liu Chuanqi didn't say anything. He had spent 40,000 yuan to build a school and dig a well in the village, so how much money could the electricity bill be worth?
Moreover, after the well in the village was dug, everyone praised Liu Chuanqi.
However, Li Fucheng wanted to save trouble, so he didn't dig the well as he had expected. He thought that he and the old lady were old and it was inconvenient for them to carry water, so he made a water press.
He didn't like the humming pump motor either.
It was more practical to kill the well.
Li He went to the county and treated Bian Mei to a meal. "I'm sorry, you didn't attend your wedding."
Bian Mei smiled and said, "I can't afford to treat a busy person like you."
She got married last year. Perhaps it was because she had been living a comfortable life, but she was becoming more and more charming.
"Are you still in the department store?"
If I don't work at the department store, where else can I go? "Bian Mei continued," I have to apologize to you. I really couldn't help you with your brother's matter last time. Think about it, no matter how capable I am, I can't go against the director. "
Li He smiled. "Of course I understand, but you're powerless."
If Mei was really that capable, how could she stay in the department store? At best, he's a pimp. As he grew older, he no longer had the arrogance that Li He had when they first met. Instead, he became more and more composed.
"You're not just treating me to a meal, are you?"
"Let me ask you something. Do you know anyone in the Water Conservancy Bureau?"
"Of course there is. Why do you ask? Mayor He is in charge of water conservancy, you don't have to ask me, right? "
"I want to know everything. Can you do it?" Li He still didn't want to let Huang Hao go so easily, including Director Bai's youngest son. He might be a time bomb at any time, but he couldn't do anything to Director Bai's family for the time being. So, he decided to pick on his cousin first.
"What's his name? Let me see if I know him. The county is only this big." Bian Mei raised her glass and clinked glasses with Li He.
"Huang Hao." Li He briefly told Bian Mei about the situation, but hid the fact that they were relatives.
"I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." Bian Mei thought for a moment and smiled. "You can just call Mayor He. It's a piece of cake."
"There's a rank difference between the two of them," Li He replied impatiently. It was easy for someone of He Jun's rank to raise Huang Hao's rank, but it would be difficult to deal with him as a whole. It was too obvious that He Jun was abusing his position to take revenge.
Bian Mei asked, "What do you think he cares about the most?"
"Promotion, of course. His whole family is obsessed with being an official," Li He blurted out without thinking.
Bian Mei said resolutely, "The biggest harm to a person is to destroy what he cares about and make it impossible for him to get promoted."
Li He was very interested in this question. "Then tell me what to do. I'll listen to you."
"Actually, he's just a low-level officer. He can't do anything. As long as you keep him under control, he won't be able to do anything. So let's make it impossible for him to get promoted. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Who is his enemy? " Bian Mei purposely kept him in suspense.
Li He said, "Compete with him for the position of deputy section chief."
"That's it. Let's go and make friends with his opponent. Once his opponent gets promoted, he can be suppressed."
Li He said, "I don't know anyone in the Water Conservancy Bureau. I only know Huang Hao."
"If you trust me, leave it to me." Bian Mei twirled her fingers and smiled. "But you need to pay for it."
"How much?" Li He only wanted to save himself some trouble. As long as he could keep Huang Hao under control, he didn't need to worry.
"Seven hundred and eight yuan, right? It's a treat, how can it be a small amount?"
Li He took out a stack of money from his bag and placed it in front of Bian Mei. "Here's a thousand yuan."
Bian Mei was not in a hurry to take it. She smiled and said, "If you can't do it, don't blame me. In the end, you still have to look for Mayor He. Even if you can't get rid of him, you can still suppress him. As long as Mayor He is in charge of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Huang Hao can't even think about getting promoted. "
"I trust you." Li He did not want to look for He Jun. If he went to He Jun for such a small matter, he would be endlessly annoying. Although it was the easiest way to look for He Jun.
After saying goodbye to Bian Mei, Li He went to the family area of No.1 Middle School and threw a thousand yuan to Teacher Jin.
"Ah, why did you give so much?"
"To show filial piety."
Before the old lady could refuse, he turned around and left.
Because Four started school early this year, he could not stay at home for long. As soon as he finished talking to Li Long and Da Zhuang, Wang Yulan grabbed him and nagged him about marrying a wife. Tears were about to fall from her eyes again, as if she was really worried about him.
Li He was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that she would cry. He coaxed and lied to Wang Yulan.
Before he left, he purposely went to say goodbye to the hunchback.
There was a large wheat field in the east of the village. The winter wheat that was sown in autumn was growing vigorously and had already overflowed the ridge of the field. The smell of the green seedlings made people feel relaxed.
The hunchback was using a hammer to fix the rotten door. In fact, it could not be called a door anymore. It was more like a wooden fence.
"No, it's blowing wind. My daughter can't stand it."
In front of outsiders, he said "my daughter", but when he was talking to himself, he said "my daughter".
Li He said, "Have you ever thought that you can't raise a child by relying on these two plots of land? She's still so young. Let's not talk about clothes and food first. Later on, school will be the most expensive."
