Chapter 40

Both Director Bai and Luo Dapeng looked very ugly. No one would look good if they were pointed at their noses and scolded.

Mrs. Xu thought for a moment, thinking that this group of old residents were weak persimmons and had to be pricked. Glancing at the figure outside the window, she said solemnly: "The atmosphere in the community needs to be rectified. This is the report record I asked the patrol team for. So far, on average, we have to deal with 1.6 fights and 9.7 quarrels every day. The reasons are These are trivial matters with no serious consequences. The patrol team can only give verbal education. But the role of verbal education," she smiled, "is understood by everyone, so the frequency of quarrels and fights can be said to be zero. It's rising day by day. This is what the patrol team knows. What the patrol team doesn't know is that they want to know more."

Director Bai straightened his face: "We can discuss this issue at the next meeting. What we are discussing now is the power grid and pets. We must consider the safety of all residents."

Qiao Xi sneered: "If you leave the most important things alone and deal with us first, you must make things difficult for us and step on us to establish your prestige, right?"

Director Bai said angrily: "Comrade, please pay attention to your attitude!"

Qiao Xicai didn't blame him, nor did he depend on him for a living: "My attitude is that with the current public security atmosphere, my family will never dismantle the power grid. Why do we need the power grid? Don't you have any idea? Those of us who have installed the power grid have all the power in our homes." A little bit of foundation, but a lot of people are jealous. There was a massacre in the community last year, and all eight members of the family were killed. The murderer targeted his house because it had no power grid and no pets, making it easier to attack. Now that there is a power grid, there are always people around my house. Once there is no power grid, those people will come in sooner or later if something happens. You will feel sorry for me and then happily divide our house. You won't just fight this. Idea?"

As soon as these words came out, the old residents suddenly changed their colors. There were people hanging around outside the Qiao family, and naturally there were people at their house, otherwise why would there be such fierce opposition.

Director Bai, who was slapped with such a big label, changed his face. He had no conscience, he was not so vicious, and he did not expect this far. He just felt that the gap between the rich and the poor between the old and new residents was too big, and the new residents would inevitably be dissatisfied. He suppressed the arrogance of the old residents to gain the approval of the new residents.

Mr. Wang couldn't help it anymore: "I won't demolish my house. There is such a big sign saying there is an electrical hazard. Can't you see it? A child can't read or understand, so what are the guardians doing? There's a risk of falling when walking, right? The road has to be plowed. Falling may cause bleeding, but the electric shock only hurts, not even a wound. Why do you ask us to dismantle the power grid? If we are not residents, our safety is not safety. If other people cannot take a little risk, we can risk our lives. We old residents are inferior, right? Do other residents of the community who need to be renovated know that their status is so low? ?"

"You know this, who signed the consent form in the first place? You didn't say before that you wanted us to tear down the power grid and kill the pets. Oh, when they moved in, they thought we were an eyesore, so they wanted to kill us to make room for others. Who is your leader? I'm going to find your leader, it's not like this."

"Yes, go to the leaders above. Less than a month after moving in, they started to target us original residents. Ask them clearly what they mean. Are we living a better life than ordinary people? Who is in the way? "

"We rely on ourselves if we don't steal or rob. What's wrong with living a better life? Don't you officials have a bad life?"

…

Director Bai's temples were twitching as his head was buzzing. How could this group of people be so capable and still want to find a leader? Not to mention that they had some connections, but that there was Mrs. Xu sitting next to them. This woman wanted to Unlucky for yourself.

Seeing that Director Bai was speechless due to the rebuke, Luo Dapeng quickly came to his rescue and said, "Everyone, everyone, please calm down, calm down! We are discussing, not enforcing it, right? It is indeed reasonable to worry, and we can understand it, and we can discuss it carefully to see if there is a way to get the best of both worlds."

"It's nothing to discuss. This matter is non-negotiable. If you have some free time, you can discuss how to rectify the trend. Today you are just stealing and stealing, but tomorrow you will dare to kill people and set fire. Don't think I am alarmist. If you don't curb the evil trend at the beginning, you will stop everything in the future. Can't stop."

"When the social atmosphere returns to normal, we will dismantle the power grid ourselves without you having to tell us."

Qiao Xi glanced at the window and handed the words to Mrs. Xu who seemed to be prepared: "Director Lin, the atmosphere in our community needs to be rectified, especially the problem of cadres and their families bullying others. The impact is too bad and is not conducive to uniting the masses. "

Luo Dapeng's cheek twitched heavily.

Director Bai breathed a strange sigh of relief, the focus of the fire was moved.

Mrs. Xu nodded slowly: "The noise in the community all day long is really not conducive to everyone settling down to live and produce."

"That's not the truth," Qiao Xi said seriously. "To put it bluntly, if the punishment is not enough, some people will become more and more emboldened and go too far. Others see it in their eyes, and there is no need to pay for doing bad things. There are a few people who can still persist. If you are a good person, let's talk about Comrade Luo's mother."

Luo Dapeng, who was named, cursed secretly, "You're not done yet, are you?" "Comrade Qiao, about the misunderstanding between you and my mother."

"It's not a misunderstanding. Your mother often cuts in line. If someone points it out, she will be scolded or even beaten. And because you are the son of a cadre, others often choose to keep things quiet, and your mother becomes more and more domineering. "Director Lin, you can look at the patrol team's work log, there must be a lot of records about her."

Mrs. Xu had already found the relevant records and glanced at Luo Dapeng lightly: "There were two fights and seven quarrels. The reasons included cutting in line, watching a movie too loudly late at night and quarreling with the neighbors, discussing right and wrong and being overheard by the parties involved. The neighbors accused him of stealing food and property from home. Valuable objects."

What a talent, Qiao Xi marveled.

Director Bai, who was in the same camp, even looked at him with suspicion. It had only been 23 days since he moved in, and there were nine recorded disputes. What the hell was Luo Dapeng doing all day long, fighting with others? A son raised by such a mother... He was vaguely aware that he was being used as a weapon by Luo Dapeng. This bastard might be using him to avenge his mother.

"My mother didn't steal anything!" Luo Dapeng hurriedly defended. Other things could be attributed to his low quality. If he was convicted of stealing, he would have to do hard labor.

Mrs. Xu curled her lips: "Comrade Luo, don't be nervous. I'm talking about the neighbor's accusation. The other party has no evidence, so the patrol team recorded it as a quarrel."

Luo Dapeng said bravely: "My mother is uneducated and has a bad temper, so she is easy to quarrel with others. There must be something wrong with her, but Comrade Qiao will not label her as a treacherous person because of personal grudges. . And I am just a small clerk, let alone my mother who bullies others."

"No matter how young you are, you are still a government worker and you represent the government. How could everyone not respect the three points." Qiao Xi lamented, "Although this is the personal behavior of Comrade Luo's mother, the victim will inevitably anger the government. If things go on like this, public resentment will boil, and when we meet again If people with bad intentions fan the flames, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Comrade Qiao, what you said is too much!" Luo Dapeng was so angry that he almost said that his mother was causing harm to the country and the people.

"Comrade Luo, don't be angry," Mrs. Xu said warmly, "Although what Comrade Qiao said is a bit serious, it makes sense. You are a public official, and mother and son are one. To a certain extent, your mother represents you. Your mother often does this There were conflicts with people, and according to the patrol team's records, several of them were indeed caused by your mother's fault, which is not good for your image and the image of the government."

Luo Dapeng's face was full of shame: "Don't worry, Director Lin. I will have a good talk with my mother when I get back and ask her to restrain her temper and value peace."

"It's useless to talk, you have to be punished. Those who have made mistakes can learn a lesson and let others learn from them, so that the atmosphere can be corrected." Qiao Xi said seriously, "Don't go unpunished for a small evil. Cutting in line is a trivial matter, but it is a serious matter. Things that are unavoidable in life, there are not so many big things in life, they are all just trivial things. People who jump in line and disturb the people in the middle of the night are not punished. How can an honest person live his life? "

"If a small evil is not punished, it will become a big trouble." A majestic voice came from the door.

Mrs. Xu and Director Bai were shocked and hurriedly stood up to greet: "Director Huo."

Director Huo is in charge of rebuilding safe communities. Today he made a special trip incognito to visit the first batch of pilot communities. He walked to Jinlan Villa just in time to catch up with this big drama.

Qiao Xi glanced at Mrs. Xu who was pretending to be surprised, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Director Bai wanted to fight Mrs. Xu, but he was too young.

Director Huo looked at Qiao Xi with approval: "Comrade Qiao is right. If you don't punish this or that, more and more people will disobey the law and cause endless harm. In special times, we can be tough. Some. For example, some countries have enacted laws and regulations to punish those who jump in line in public places, usually with detention and fines. They can be forced to work or reduce food quotas, and if they persist, they will consider taking back their houses. If you keep your heart in mind, you will abide by the law, which is conducive to building a harmonious community and allowing the people to work and live in a down-to-earth manner."

Cold sweat broke out on Luo Dapeng's face. Although he didn't mention anyone by name, the one on the left jumped in and the one on the right jumped in. He was just using his mother as an example. After showing his face to the big boss in this way, Luo Dapeng only felt that his future was not bright.

Director Bai also felt that his future was in danger. I don't know how long Director Huo had been here. Did he see his embarrassing scene?

Soon, he knew and saw it because Director Huo took the initiative to mention it.

"Regarding the power grid, your situation is indeed special, and it is reasonable to worry. However, the safety of other residents must also be considered." Director Huo knew that the aboriginal people in this community had narrowly escaped death, and it was inevitable that the grass and trees would be attacked. They needed an external object like the power grid to increase their sense of security. He said gently, "You must place warning signs in conspicuous places around to remind others to pay attention to safety. At the same time, the current is controlled within a range that does not harm the human body. If any store is found to have excessive current, it will be removed. As for pets, you, as owners, Don't worry, outsiders don't know the situation, and it's normal to be afraid. Therefore, your pets cannot leave your own garden. Once they are found in public places, they will be treated as stray pets. If there is an injury, you must bear the corresponding responsibility. May I?"

Of course.

The power grid and pets have been preserved. Although the current and range of activities are restricted, they don't have to pay attention to people under the roof. Everyone takes a step back, the sea and the sky are brighter.

Qiao Xi thought to himself, a big leader is a big leader, he speaks and acts beautifully, unlike a brat like Director Bai who only knows how to show off his authority.

Director Bai was almost pale at the moment. Director Huo's method of handling the situation couldn't be exactly the same as what he wanted to do. It could only be said to be completely opposite. How should he explain it later?

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Qiao Xi and the others. All the old residents left laughing.

Zhao Yuyan was still frightened: "I almost thought I couldn't save Maomao." Maomao was the teddy she had raised for eight years. In this world, apart from her grandfather, she only had Maomao left. Maomao is very well-behaved and will bark whenever a stranger comes near. No. 61 has no power grid, so Maomao relies on Maomao to look after the house.

Qiao Xi warned: "It can get out of the fence, so watch it and don't let it escape."

Zhao Yuyan nodded repeatedly, suddenly feeling guilty and uneasy: "If we hadn't quarreled with the mother who was responsible for the rape, nothing would have happened today. We were the ones who caused everyone's problems."

Qiao Xi explained: "The man surnamed Luo wanted to take advantage of the situation to avenge himself, but the most important thing is that the man surnamed Bai wanted to use our group of old residents to make political achievements for himself. Even if this hadn't happened, he would still have made trouble."

Zhao Yuyan was startled: "It's now like this, how can he still have such free time?"

Qiao Xi said quietly: "At times like this, power is more important. I have never seen Mrs. Xu join politics."

The next day, Mrs. Xu came to visit and asked Qiao Xi with a smile: "I need an assistant to help share the work. Do you want to give it a try?"

This was so sudden that Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Xu spoke earnestly: "The world may not get better in three to five years. Even if you can't finish the food at home, it will expire. For long-term considerations, you must have a stable income. And what happened yesterday, you have also experienced it. Even a small clerk can't do it." Only by being able to give us a hard time and have the right to speak can we ensure that we are not bullied."
