Chapter 1074: Water Use Troubles
Ye Shu was reported again!
To be precise, all the family members of the Special 1st Brigade were reported!
what is the reason?
Ye Shu followed Xuan'er on the way home in a hurry. After listening to what she said, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
It turned out to be about water use!
Ye Shu and her friends are planting vegetables in the yard. It’s hot now and the seeds have just been planted. In order to make the seeds germinate as quickly as possible and grow healthily, they need to water them more!
As a result, because of this incident, someone wrote a letter of complaint, accusing Ye Shu and others of being extravagant!
The two people responsible for handling this matter today are from the water plant, and they were brought here by Zhang Aifang.
When Ye Shu came back, several people were looking at Zheng Lan in silence.
A comrade from the water plant said, "The water from our water plant is indeed only for domestic use. If you want to irrigate, you'd better not use it."
Zheng Lan and Zhang Aifang were both speechless and didn't know what to say.
When they saw Ye Shu coming back, they all looked at her.
Ye Shu, however, thought more than they expected and immediately asked, "I heard that it was because someone wrote a letter of complaint. What did the letter say specifically?"
This was the first time for the people at the water plant to deal with such a matter, and it happened in the military district’s family compound.
They really don't want to make this trip, but if they don't deal with the report letter, they will have to take responsibility if there are problems in the future!
That's why I had to come here. When I heard Ye Shu ask this, I knew she was a very insightful person.
I kindly reminded her: "Your family compound only has one water meter, and you use a lot of water to grow vegetables."
Ye Shu understood. It was similar to what she guessed on the way back. Someone must be jealous of them growing vegetables and watering them every day, so he wrote a letter of denunciation!
She immediately asked, "Comrade, we will definitely improve this water usage issue in the future and will definitely not waste water. Please rest assured!"
It’s just a vegetable patch in front of the house. Can’t the water used for washing vegetables and rice be used for watering?
Can’t you pour water after washing and mopping the floor?
It's not like they are planting large tracts of crops that require a lot of water for irrigation, so this is not a problem.
Ye Shu directly put forward her idea: "Comrades, we want to install a new water meter. Is that possible?"
The comrades at the water plant looked at each other and replied, "We need our construction specialists to come and inspect it. If there are no problems, we can proceed."
Ye Shu nodded: "Okay! Do we need to go and apply?"
The comrades from the water plant are also easy to talk to. Mainly because they also feel that what happened today is very speechless. They had to come here. They are really thankful that the military wives are willing to cooperate!
So he was willing to give Ye Shu a favor: "How about this, you write an application to install a water meter, and I'll bring it over for you."
Ye Shu: "Okay! Please wait a moment."
She immediately wrote an application form and asked the two men to help take it over. When she came out of the room, she also took out two packs of cigarettes to give to the two men.
But they refused to accept anything.
Ye Shu noticed that one of the men glanced at the candy in Guaiguai's hand, so he understood what he meant and grabbed a candy for each of them.
"Please both of you make the trip and take these back to feed the younger generation at home."
They came here today to handle the matter after receiving a letter of complaint, and they absolutely cannot accept anything from others.
So you definitely can’t take the cigarettes, otherwise you won’t be able to explain it later.
But candies don’t matter. After all, when you visit someone’s home nowadays, a polite host will give you a handful of candies.
After sending the people away, Ye Shu, Zheng Lan and Zhang Aifang looked at each other in silence, really speechless!
Zheng Lan sighed: "Forget it, forget it, wait until we have our own independent water meter, and then we can use our own water!"
Now the entire military district’s family compound uses one water meter, and the total water consumption is distributed to each individual every month.
It is not distributed evenly among households, but evenly among individuals, so it is relatively fair.
The reason why they suddenly did this is simply because they saw that they were using more water to irrigate the vegetable fields, so they started to calculate in their minds!
Zheng Lan sighed again: "It's my fault. I used to be so extravagant..."
Hey!
In the past, farming was done in the wilderness!
The water was directly carried up from the river, so they could use it however they wanted and didn't have to worry about it at all!
It’s not that they don’t feel sorry for the soldiers carrying water.
But fetching water every morning and evening is a necessary part of their training. If they don’t use up all the water, it will be inconvenient for them!
Alas, things are really different now!
Ye Shu patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. The vegetable garden doesn't use much water. The water used for washing vegetables and rice can be used to irrigate the garden. We just need to turn up the water meter."
Zheng Lan thought again: "Then I have to talk to Xie Jinglan and the others and see how they will do it."
They lived in the staff building, but just like the people in the courtyard, they marked out a piece of land in the open space downstairs and planted some fruits and vegetables.
However, in order to facilitate management, several families jointly allocated a piece of land, everyone planted some, and managed it together.
That night, when Xie Jinglan and her friends came back and heard about this, they immediately said, "Then why don't we all get together and install one water meter!"
Because it costs money to open the water meter individually, in order to save a little, we don’t open the water meter for each household individually.
And coincidentally, they either live on the same floor or upstairs or downstairs, so it is actually convenient to pull the water meter.
Naturally, there is one water meter for several households in the courtyard, so there is no need for each household to have a separate water meter.
When Jin's wife heard about this awful thing, she immediately started cursing:
"I thought the people in the military compound were all well-educated! I didn't expect them to be worse than the folks in the countryside!"
"If you dislike our excessive water use, just tell us earlier! No one is taking advantage of anyone else! Is there any need to resort to all this reporting?"
"You're really not ashamed!"
She also heard that someone had reported Ye Shu, and that the special investigation team had been arrested by Huo Lu. She applauded even more:
"Good catch! It's time to let them know how many eyes the Horse King has!"
Ye Shu smiled helplessly: "Okay, you should take a break too. Don't keep talking about this unlucky thing."
Sister Jin nodded: "Yes, yes, you are right, I will listen to you!"
After Huo Yisheng arrested someone, he naturally had to conduct a thorough investigation. He would find out who was behind the scenes bullying his wife. No matter whether it was a big or small matter, anyone who dared to stab him in the back would have to pay the price!
However, before this, a major incident occurred in the family compound.
To be precise, it was not in the staff housing complex, but in the entire education sector across the country that a very sensational event occurred.
