Chapter 3817

In such a situation, only Su Xinghui could remain calm. He didn't know how many thrilling moments he had experienced in his life. This scene couldn't scare him. He comforted Ge Bin and another male comrade named Xiao Yang, who were trembling, saying it was okay, everything was over.

Liu Cuilan looked at them in astonishment and asked what happened.

Su Xinghui told her the whole story. Liu Cuilan was also scared and pale. She said, "Then you are really lucky. The reason why Jiaoshi Gou is called such a name is because stones sometimes fall from the mountain. People and livestock have been smashed to death before. Stones haven't fallen much in recent years. Why did you run into it today? If you had left earlier, you would have been smashed into meat pies."

When Liu Cuilan said this, the two girls who had just stopped vomiting felt nauseous again and squatted down to vomit again. Liu Cuilan hurriedly stepped forward to pat their backs to make them feel better.

Su Xinghui said to Old Shen, "Township Head Shen, I'm afraid we can't go back today. You should make a call to the township government and ask them to clear the road."

While patting the backs of the two girls, Liu Cuilan turned her head and said happily, "That's great, then you can sleep at my house today?"

Su Xinghui admired this woman's brain circuit a little. Such a thing happened today, and she could still laugh.

Old Shen nodded. He took out his mobile phone, made a call to Secretary Liu, reported the situation that happened today to him, and asked Secretary Liu to send someone to clear the mountain road.

After hanging up the phone, Old Shen said that Secretary Liu said that the township might not have such large machinery, and it had to be transferred to the county. It won't work today. Let's see if the road can be cleared tomorrow.

Therefore, tonight, we can only stay in Jiaoshi Village for one night.

Liu Cuilan said happily that she wanted to arrange for them to stay at her house. Su Xinghui said, "Let's do this, the two girls will stay at your house, and we men will stay at the village committee."

Liu Cuilan hurriedly said, "How can you stay at the village committee? The conditions are too poor, or stay at my house?"

Su Xinghui said, "Why can't you stay? Aren't there folding beds? This is enough."

Ge Bin and his colleague also said they would stay here. Although Old Shen and Wang Baocai felt that the conditions here were a bit poor, since Ge Bin and the others said so, they could only accompany them.

Liu Cuilan had no choice but to agree. Now the other village cadres were all drunk like dead pigs and couldn't wake up in a day. Liu Cuilan couldn't make any decisions alone.

There were quite a few folding beds in the village committee. They were all used by the geological team that came here for survey some time ago. They didn't take them away when they left. These folding beds were foldable and didn't take up space at ordinary times. They could sleep when opened at night. Now it is summer, and there is no need for bedding, which is quite convenient.

Liu Cuilan said, "Then go to my house for dinner."

There were no restaurants in the village, and other ordinary people didn't seem to welcome them very much. Now going to Liu Cuilan's house for dinner seemed to be the only choice, so everyone nodded and agreed. Anyway, they had to pay for the meal.

Liu Cuilan happily took everyone back. Su Xinghui and Ge Bin also knew why she was so keen on letting everyone eat and live in her house, because they found through auditing the vouchers that Jiaoshi Village reimbursed a lot of hospitality and accommodation expenses every year.

There were no restaurants or hotels in Jiaoshi Village. Where did these food and accommodation expenses come from? Didn't they come from eating and living in the village cadres' homes?

On the receipts for those food and accommodation expenses, a few guests eating and living in the village cadre's home for one day was one or two hundred yuan. This income was not low in the current rural areas.

Arriving at Liu Cuilan's house, Liu Cuilan got busy. She sent her half-grown daughter and son to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden. She was busy killing chickens and cutting meat. Usually, she was so lazy that she didn't even clean the village committee office, but now she was so diligent. It seems that the power of money is not small.

Soon, a table of dishes was served. This table of dishes was still quite rich, with chicken, meat, and eggs, as well as several vegetables from the Liu family's vegetable garden. Everyone started to eat. No one mentioned drinking. After experiencing that thrilling meal at noon, who would dare to talk about drinking in front of Su Xinghui?

After dinner, Ge Bin habitually took out one hundred yuan and asked Liu Cuilan to write him a receipt. Liu Cuilan sent her daughter to make the bed for the two girls, and then went to the village committee with Ge Bin and the others to write him a receipt, and by the way, set up the folding beds to let them rest.

Arriving at the village committee, Liu Cuilan wrote a receipt, stamped it, and took out a few folding beds, which were unfolded in the village committee office and the room next door where Ge Bin and the others audited in the afternoon. Su Xinghui went to the only small shop in the village to buy a box of mosquito coils. Now it is summer. If you don't light mosquito coils at night, you can't sleep.

Su Xinghui, Ge Bin, and the other male colleague slept in the room where they audited the vouchers. In the evening in the countryside, there were no entertainment projects. Even if they had mobile phones, there was no network here. Even if they turned on the traffic, there was no signal, so they could only sit outside the room and chat.

Old Shen and Wang Baocai also sat outside the room and chatted with them for a while. They naturally talked about the thrilling moment on the mountain road in the afternoon. Thinking of that scene now, they all felt their legs were a little soft.

Just now, Old Shen and Wang Baocai also called home to report safety. However, they didn't say the danger they encountered in the afternoon on the phone. Why let the family worry about such things? But at this moment, they all had lingering fears.

It was really too dangerous. A few seconds earlier or a few seconds later, they might have been hit by stones, and they would have become martyrs now.

However, experiencing danger together also made them feel closer to each other.

Old Shen talked about his son. His son worked in the county. Wang Baocai also talked about his daughter who was in school. Ge Bin's son was still in elementary school, and another male colleague named Yang's daughter was in kindergarten. They were all fathers. Thinking that they were almost separated from their children, they felt scared.

Chatting and chatting, Su Xinghui talked about Li Erdan, "Township Head Shen, Secretary Li seems quite capable!"

As soon as Li Erdan was mentioned, Old Shen shook his head, but he refused to say anything. He said, "He is quite capable, and he has courage in doing things."

Wang Baocai was even more tight-lipped and refused to say anything about Li Erdan, only perfunctorily saying that he was quite capable.

The fear of Li Erdan in their words could be heard at once.

Since this was the case, Su Xinghui didn't talk about Li Erdan anymore. He said, "Is Jiaoshi Village too poor? It's already 2007, why is this place still so poor?"

Old Shen said, "There is no way. Anpei Township is poor, not just Jiaoshi Village. The geographical conditions are too poor. There are mountains everywhere. It is not easy to build a road. Look, there is no signal for mobile phones here. It takes a long time to make a call. Infrastructure is still very backward. How can the economy develop?"
