On the last day of the May Day holiday, Li An took a long-distance bus to Yangdong County early in the morning with his backpack.

The "friendly exchange" with his father last night lasted for more than two hours. The initial conversation turned into a fierce argument. If Li An had not returned to Fuqiang Village to work the next day, the "friendly exchange" would not have been possible. may last overnight.

The long-distance bus then transferred to the bus and then to the shuttle bus to Guanmiao Village. It took four hours of back and forth before we arrived at the market town of Guanmiao Township.

The town is not big and only has one street. There are two-story bungalows on both sides of the street, with various signs hanging sparsely on the roofs.

Li An got off the shuttle bus and looked around, and saw five or six motorcycles parked in front of a hotel not far away. Several men were squatting or standing, smoking cigarettes there in boredom.

These people are the most distinctive "motorcycle taxi" drivers in the town.

Since the roads leading to the villages in Guanmiao Township are all dirt roads and cannot be accessed by ordinary cars, the business of using motorcycles to transport people into the villages has been eliminated.

Li An walked over with his backpack and said to one of the drivers: "Master, how much does it cost to go to Fuqiang Village?"

"50 yuan." The driver took one look at Li An's dress and said casually.

Looking at the frivolous look in the driver's eyes, Li An clearly regarded him as a fat sheep from out of town and wanted to kill him.

"Ten yuan." Li An reported a price.

"No, I don't even have enough gas money to go there." The driver shook his head like a rattle.

"Forget it." Li An walked towards the other driver neatly.

"Thirty, leave at thirty." When the driver saw Li An turning around and leaving, he immediately lowered the price.

"fifteen."

"25."

"Twenty, if it doesn't work, forget it."

"Alright alright."

After a round of haggling, the two parties finally reached a deal.

The driver started the motorcycle with some frustration, "I didn't expect you, little kid, to be so good at bargaining. I won't make any money on this trip."

"Master, you haven't lost money. Your motorcycle only costs 4 yuan of gas per 5 kilometers. The current price of gas is 5 yuan. Let me do the math. You can only spend 15 yuan on gas every time, and you still earn [-] yuan." Block." Li An began to analyze.

The driver was obviously taken aback when he heard this. His actual cost was indeed similar to what Li An said. He said with some surprise: "What are you doing?"

"I am the resident cadre of Fuqiang Village." After Li An finished speaking, he got on the back seat of the motorcycle.

"No wonder, the calculation is so clear." The driver muttered, turned the accelerator and drove towards the east.

The mountain road leading to Fuqiang Village is winding and rugged, and it took nearly half an hour to cover the less than eight kilometers of mountain road.

The motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the village committee. After Li An got off the car and paid, he saw the driver parked the car at a canteen not far away. He probably didn't want to go down the mountain empty-handed and was waiting here to see if he could pull it away. To guests coming down the mountain.

Li An pushed the door open and walked into the yard. Although he had been away for several days, the yard was clean. It seemed that it was cleaned every day, most likely by Chen Shanhe.

Walking into the party member activity room in the middle, Li An saw Chen Shanhe and Xu Kai playing Go.

Xu Kai kept playing with the black chess pieces in his hand, with a slightly proud smile on his face.

Looking at Chen Shanhe opposite, his brows were furrowed, his expression was very tangled, and the white chess piece between his fingers had not yet fallen.

"Shan He, have you thought about it? It's almost 10 minutes." Xu Kai urged.

Li An walked closer and saw that the "big dragon" with white pieces on the chessboard was in danger of being eaten by black pieces. No wonder Chen Shanhe thought about it for so long.

I asked why Xu Kai was smiling so happily. He was about to become a "dragon-slaying warrior".

For amateur Go players, when is the most enjoyable time to play chess?

That is to set up an ambush at every step, lure the opponent into your trap, and then eat the opponent's "big dragon" to achieve the reputation of "Dragon Slaying Warrior".

It was obvious that the honest Chen Shanhe was no match for Xu Kai. The game was over and there was almost no chance of a comeback.

"Shanhe, don't stare at the dragon. Maybe you can give it a try here." Li An pointed to a place on the lower right.

Chen Shanhe looked in the direction pointed by Li An, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Just now, I didn't notice that one of the two eyes of the chess piece that Xu Kai had inserted into his sphere of influence in the lower right corner was a fake eye. If he handled it well, he would win the piece of Xu Kai's piece.

Although Dalong was slaughtered by Xu Kai, if this piece is won, the outcome will be a stalemate until the official stage.

"Hey, hey, hey, you are a true gentleman watching chess without speaking. Li An has lost his grace." Xu Kai became a little anxious.

He had seen it a long time ago, but just now he was betting that Chen Shanhe would not see this step, and planned to make up for this loophole after eating the big dragon.

"I speak out for justice, and I can't let you bully honest people." Li An counterattacked.

"Forget it, forget it, no more." Xu Kai threw the chess pieces into the chess basket. He obviously lost interest in being disrupted by Li An.

"The villagers' wages have been paid."

When Li An saw that Xu Kai stopped playing chess, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

He had been dealing with his own affairs for the past two days and Xu Kai was here, so he didn't worry too much about Murakami's affairs.

"Let me tell you about this." Xu Kai said solemnly: "I paid all the wages you asked for to the villagers, and I was not forced to keep [-]% of the wages."

"The situation that day was like this..." Xu Kai began to describe the situation at that time.

After returning from Xuanhu that day and saying goodbye, Xu Kai and his party returned to Yangdong first. Not long after, Cao Xulong also came over with money.

However, unlike what was expected, Zhanda Company had transferred [-]% of the villagers' wages to the township government a few days ago, so Cao Xulong only brought [-]% of the wages.

Faced with the sudden change, Xu Kai, Chen Shanhe, and Liu Changfa held a temporary discussion, and Xu Kai decided to pay out all [-]% of the wages that would be returned, and asked each villager to write a receipt.

"Li An, you won't blame me for taking the initiative." Xu Kai was still a little worried about Li An's dissatisfaction. After all, it was Li An who wanted the money back.

"Xu Kai, you did the right thing. If it were me, I would do the same. Furthermore, the decision to leave [-]% of the villagers' wages as the cooperative's funds was somewhat inappropriate and did not comply with the procedures."

Li An approved of Xu Kai's approach. After all, he understood the principle of obeying authority in emergencies.

"We summoned the villagers to pay wages. Is there any reaction from Wu Wangtian?" Li An asked.

"There's no movement." Chen Shanhe shook his head and then said with some complaint: "I originally wanted to tell the villagers that [-]% of their wages were still in the hands of the township government and ask them to ask the township for it, but Xu Kai wouldn't let me say that. .”

"You almost got into trouble." Chen Shanhe was shocked when he heard what he said, but luckily Xu Kai stopped him.

Li An explained to Chen Shanhe earnestly: "Shanhe, our identity is after all, we are village cadres representing the government. You encourage the villagers to go to the township government to ask for money. To put it nicely, you are fighting for the interests of the villagers, but to put it badly, you are fighting for the interests of the villagers. If you encourage villagers to go to the township government to cause trouble, how much impact will it have on the township government? Furthermore, if this matter gets out, it will also be a stain on your political future."

"But, but..." Shanhe wanted to explain something, but he was too stupid and couldn't explain the reason, which made him seem a little aggrieved.

"I know you want to fight for more benefits for the villagers, and the starting point is your hobby, but our method must be legal and appropriate. Thank Xu Kai quickly, otherwise your kid's political future may be over." Li An moderated Don't use your tone of voice to discourage your friends too much.

"Is it that serious?" Chen Shanhe felt that Li An was being alarmist again.

"Shanhe, when you were still a small person, this matter may not have any impact on you, but when you reach a critical stage in the future, this matter may be used by your enemies as a weapon to attack you. So no matter when and where you do anything, you can’t leave behind any criticism, especially things related to politics,” Ang Lee continued to explain to Shanhe.

"What about the remaining wages of the villagers?" Chen Shanhe asked.
