The Adventures of Liu Pi

五

Lao Liu got rich and became rich overnight.No third person knows how he got so much money.When people were discussing how to spend Lao Liu's money, Lao Liu made a move that shocked the whole village.He wants to help the poor!

What is poverty alleviation?Although the village is said to have a good harvest of food, the village is far away from the city, and the transportation is not convenient.It takes half a day for people to drive donkey carts to the outer ring of the county town.It is also inconvenient for Lao Liu to transport goods in and out of the city, so he plans to build a road.

It is estimated that the country would not dare to spend too much money to build such a road. After all, our country was just standing at that time.Old Liu Ke took it easy and took the initiative to build the road out of his own pocket.The people in the village are happy, most of their children are working in other provinces.There are also many children who cannot go home during the holidays because the way home is inconvenient.If this road can really be unblocked, the benefits will be much greater.But the question is, does Lao Liu really have so much money?

The village head also approached Lao Liu several times in private, most of them advised him not to build the road, after all, it cost a lot of money.Even in this small village that cannot even be accessed by cars, it is almost impossible to have an astronomical figure.But Lao Liu was firm, and his answer every time was "Fix, we must fix it."

As long as the wages come quickly, it will be repaired in Cambodia tomorrow.The leader of the engineering team, Manager Cao is the main designer for this road construction task.When he saw Lao Liu, he drew a drawing and made gestures on it.There are also words like "shovel soil here, build up there".Everyone feels that this person is quite reliable, and he speaks clearly to the villagers.Lao Liu grew up in a cropland, how could he know about engineering on construction sites?Don't just nod along with the big guys.

For the first time in this small mountain village, a car taller than a person appeared, with a big bucket behind it.The village head told people that this is called a truck, and the bucket at the back can hold some sand or stones.This time, it opened people's eyes.

"Manager Cao, how long will it take to finish repairing this road?" Lao Liu asked.

"It's hard to say. It will take two or three months to catch up with the good weather. If it is always cloudy and rainy, it will take a long time, not to mention it is the rainy season."

"Oh, that's it, the salary..."

"Don't worry, we are one of the best engineering teams in the entire county, and we will definitely not let you suffer." Manager Cao said firmly.

Old Liu couldn't guess whether what he said was true or false, but it was the engineering team introduced by the village head, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Lu grew up day by day, Lao Liu was happy, his dreams at night were all about Lu.He dreamed of the joy of his sons and daughters returning to their hometown, and smiled unconsciously.That scene is really beautiful, with green cypress trees on both sides, and the zebra crossing at the intersection is particularly eye-catching...

A few days later, the thing that worried Lao Liu still came. It was still a dark night, and the torrential rain was coming. He was worried that the heavy rain would flood the road, so he took an umbrella and walked to the construction site at the head of the village.It happened that Manager Cao was also standing by the roadside.

"Manager Cao! You haven't slept yet."

"Ha, it turned out to be Lao Liu. I was worried about the road in our village. I couldn't sleep so I wanted to come down and have a look."

After that, Manager Cao's eyes were serious, and he didn't say a word again.

Thankfully, the rain didn't do anything to the road and it wasn't a big deal.Construction can still proceed normally.It's just - Manager Cao still frowned every day.I can't see the smiling faces of the past.

Two and a half months have passed, and the project is coming to an end.That day, Lao Liu invited guests to celebrate the completion of the project and set up a table on the newly built road at the head of the village.I made several tables of dishes, which were very rich.

Manager Cao suddenly answered a phone call, then told the big guy something important, and drove away.The big guys didn't pay much attention to it, and they were all immersed in this happy dinner.

The dinner party was over, and Lao Liu lay comfortably on the bed and planned to take a nap.Just when he was about to fall asleep, the ringtone of his mobile phone pulled him out of his drowsiness.Lao Liu was suddenly awakened.Squinting at the phone screen.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Old Liu, old Liu, it's not good! In the middle of the road you built...a big hole collapsed, and a car fell down. Well, it seems that people were killed! Come quickly."

"Huh? Another hole? Wait for me to go right now, what the hell is going on."

"Come quickly, the family of the deceased will sue you to court."

"Damn it, let her sue! I'm afraid you won't succeed. Where's Manager Cao? What does the construction team say."

"There are no members of the construction team. They don't answer their calls, and they can't get in touch with anyone. I haven't seen their shadows."

Lao Liu's heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought flashed in his mind: The construction team ran away!

The family came from the city and wanted to take the newly built road to Zhao Village next door. Who would have thought that they would fall into this big hole halfway along the way.When someone pulled him out, he was completely unrecognizable and had no breath.His mother was crying beside him, for some reason, seeing this scene, Lao Liu seemed to have a very familiar feeling in his heart.

"Look for the bastard surnamed Cao, and someone from the engineering team will come out to me and explain to me what's going on."

"Boss Cao has escaped!"

He comforted the middle-aged woman, and kept looking for the village head among the crowd beside him.He called the village chief, but no one answered.Called again, still no answer.

The village head ran away too!

Old Liu was completely angry, cursed loudly, and then slammed his fists hard at the newly built road.This smashing actually smashed a nest out of the ground.He was dumbfounded, and tore open the land with his hands.It turned out to be full of sand and stones, only covered with a layer of asphalt.There is no reinforced concrete!It's no wonder the road doesn't collapse.

The family insisted on taking him to court and asking them to pay 50 yuan in compensation.Lao Liu's money has been used to build roads, so what money is there?People in the village told him that if this matter is not good, he will have to go in for a few years.As soon as Lao Liu was scared, he quickly asked someone to check the procedures for road repairs. As long as the procedures were correct, the construction team was responsible.At the beginning, the village chief said he would handle these things. After all, he knew more than Lao Liu, so Lao Liu also trusted him with confidence.The village head of Neitian took a few forms for Lao Liu to sign, and Lao Liu didn't know how to read, so he signed it without thinking too much.But who would have thought that there are no bullshit procedures, this road is clearly a "three no products"

Lao Liu was taken away by the Public Security Bureau, and the police also began to arrest Manager Cao based on the clues provided by the villagers.

When they got their original agreement and contract, Lao Liu was the only person responsible for all the above.According to the law, Lao Liu's crime should be sentenced to more than five years! And from this point of view, it has nothing to do with Manager Cao and the others.This is clearly planned to bully these uneducated rural people.

Aunt Wang was helping them with the investigation at the Public Security Bureau all day long. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair turned white. It was obvious that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

The case is still under investigation, and Lao Liu's heart is completely cold.He couldn't figure out why he was being treated like this. He clearly wanted to be rewarded for the sake of the village, but now everyone was putting the responsibility on him.He was helpless and angry.Almost all the words that modify sadness can be reflected on his face.Once again he lost hope in life.

Those two moles grew out unconsciously.

After several months of this, the person is still missing, Lao Liu's eyes are still empty and dull, and Aunt Wang's eyes are still red and swollen.When people talked about this incident, they still scolded Lao Liu in the same way.

Looking back on his life, Lao Liu experienced countless times of hope and countless times of despair.He was beaten by his parents when he was a child because he didn't go to school well, and later he became successful in farming; he once thought of ending his life when his children left, but then met Aunt Wang again; once a heavy rain flooded his fields , but found another piece of gold; an earthquake once shook his house out of a big hole, but found another underground palace...

Almost all of his life is a roller coaster life, happiness reaches the extreme, and sadness falls into the abyss.He is 53 this year, and he has completely lost hope in life.If it wasn't for the prison railings to stop him, he would have died long ago.The only hope here is Aunt Wang. She goes to the detention center to see Lao Liu every day. Even if she can't see him for many times, she is waiting outside. Sometimes it is windy and rainy, and you can see him. The figure of Aunt Wang standing at the gate.No matter what happens, Aunt Wang will never be absent at any time.She has always believed in the blooming of the flower of hope.

There is no joke in life this time. Boss Cao was caught, and Aunt Wang was very happy. Whenever she saw a villager, she said, "My old Liu is coming out."But Lao Liu seemed to have seen through everything, and did not show joy on his face.

This incident changed Lao Liu's whole being. He became very angry, scolding people every now and then, even if there was something that made him dissatisfied with the task.He played cards, drank and smoked in the card room all day.I seldom go to the field to see it.Aunt Wang kept persuading him to move on the ground, but he didn't listen, and sometimes she told him she was angry, and even quarreled and beat her.But Aunt Wang didn't complain at all. She believed that there was no difficulty or difficulty.
