It was gray and white, and when I stretched out my hand, I could only see five fingers.
It looks thick and powerful to the eye, but feels empty to the touch.
I stood quietly under the sky for a while. No rain fell, but my hair and clothes were wet.
Heavy fog, this is the first fog in Xiaotai'er Village since the beginning of autumn this year. The fog rises, blocking sight and blocking the way, which brings great obstacles to all work and travel.
Fortunately, in early autumn, the sun comes out early and the temperature is high.
Once the light shines through, the smoke gradually dissipates.
As the light intensifies and the temperature rises, the fog becomes smooth and smooth in the sky, looking like light smoke-like streamers. They float above the rivers and fields, gradually dissipating and evaporating out of thin air.
, being in it feels like being in a fairyland.
The fog is still drifting away, the road is already a little wet, and the green fields on the roadside are covered with crystal particles, which are dazzling under the sun.
The fog dispersed and drizzle fell.
The villagers of Xiaotai'er Village did not care. They waded through the fog and headed to the village entrance as if they were going to the market. The cement road was bustling with people, noisy and joking, cheering, laughing and cursing. It was very lively along the way.
"Well, after many efforts and many twists and turns, this road is finally going to be smooth. I am going to die now, and I can rest in peace." A villager in his late seventies trembled with a few chins.
Bai Xu sighed excitedly and said with emotion.
"Yes, with this cement road, the people of Xiaotai'er Village can finally walk out with their heads held high, instead of bowing their heads and bending their backs like before..." Another older man
The old man also felt deeply.
When the older generation of villagers who were walking along the way heard this, they sighed one after another, recalling the hardships and sweet memories. The younger generation disagreed and burst into laughter. Yaya, who was holding Yu Yinghong's left arm, asked, "Grandma, grandma, grandma
, why can you hold your head high and hold your chest high if this road is built, but why should you bow your head and stoop if this road is not built?"
Yu Yinghong touched Yaya's head and said with a faint smile, "Not having this road means being blocked, being blocked means being poor, and being poor means being beaten. If you are beaten, can you still hold your head high... Those small roads in the past are...
There are many narrow pits, and when walking, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. If you don't lower your head and bend your waist and focus on the road, when you step on it, you will not know which hill, field or river you will roll into.
Especially at night, the road becomes even more difficult..."
Yaya nodded as if she understood, and Yu Yinghong did not explain further. Let alone a child of Yaya's age, even an adult, if he did not experience this kind of thing personally, no matter how much he explained it in detail, he
Nor can I truly understand the feeling of helplessness with no road ahead.

The reason why the villagers are so excited is not to go to the market.
Today is the day when the village road arch bridge was rebuilt and reopened to traffic. The opening ceremony was relatively simple and low-key, so the villagers who were accustomed to simplicity came to cheer after breakfast. If they beat gongs and drums like last time,
There was a funeral-like display of fireworks and firecrackers, and of course the villagers wouldn't even bother to do it.
The villagers who came from home stood on both sides of the river bank, looking at the stone arch bridge that spanned the two banks again, feeling its majesty and strength, and they talked with emotion and joy.
There was a sound of car engines from the entrance of the village, and a black car and a Jinbei van drove over quickly. Some distance away from the bridge, the car door opened, and a group of people from the city got out, waiting for the people next to them.
The village party secretary Liu Fumin and the village chief Fan Mu'an saw the rush and stepped forward to greet him.
After experiencing the tragedy of the last bridge collapse and the two high-profile incidents of Xiaotai Village model villager Fang Rui's heroic rescue, these officials can be said to have changed from the last time's arrogance and aloofness. They are now
The tone of the speech was very low, and he was kind and friendly, as if he were meeting his own parents. He smiled and said hello to the villagers and shook hands...
The ceremony was really simple, and there were no nonsense scenes that were empty and meaningless. Even the pig-blooded plot of representatives from all walks of life cutting the ribbon to announce the official opening of the ceremony was eliminated by the director.
After the big officials finished their performance and mingled with the people, a middle-aged man who called himself the deputy mayor of Pingyang walked to the middle of the bridge and made a small speech on behalf of the city.
Inflammation, and then solemnly announced the cause of the last bridge collapse accident.
The reason is actually needless to say. The villagers of Xiaotai'er Village have already thought of it with their toes. What else can they do, cut corners and stuff their own pockets with the taxpayers' hard-earned money?
…
Then the relevant responsible persons were found. Among these relevant responsible persons, except for most of the small shrimps and crabs, Deputy Director Sun of the Construction Bureau in charge of road construction and bridge construction in Xiaotai'er Village was dismissed. At the same time, other relevant persons were found out.
There were multiple corruption incidents, the data were horrifying, and the consequences were serious... This bridge collapse incident also had an unexpected outcome that some people expected. Deputy Director Sun revealed the big brother behind him, the Secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee.
The huge data made Deputy Director Sun feel ashamed in the detention center. While banging his head against the wall, he sighed that the secretary was still a secretary after all.
The director is working hard but he is unable to catch up...
For the results of this investigation and the arrest of a group of top scumbags, the villagers who had been waiting for a long time responded with extremely warm applause and cheers. Some even went to the village entrance with their own money to buy firecrackers and lit them on the spot.
So he let it go. The people's hatred for corrupt officials is really evident from this.
……………………
People from the city came here this time, and the village road arch bridge was rebuilt and opened to traffic. The main purpose was to give an explanation to the villagers of Xiaotai Village in person, and at the same time to make a certain gesture to certain people in a certain direction. As for the town
All the people here are just accompanying people to make soy sauce.
After the announcement, a group of people headed by the deputy mayor went through the motions as usual. With smiles on their faces, they went to the sparkling Li River under the leadership of the village party secretary Liu Fumin and the village chief Fan Mu'an.
In Hewanzi, they went to the foot of the beautiful Lishan Mountain. After seeing the mountains and rivers, they went to inspect the rice in the fields, etc., after pretending to be experts, and then at the request of the deputy mayor.
Get off and walk to Fang Rui's house.
This plot was not arranged by the director in advance, it was all improvised by the deputy mayor.
Liu Fumin was caught off guard. He nodded in response while continuing to lead the way. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Fang Rui at high speed, asking Fang Rui to clean up the house and wipe the dust off the tables and stools.
After that, I filled the pot with water and put it on the fire. I took out the treasured tea leaves and other things. The most important thing is to catch the chickens and the eels as soon as possible. The city and town adults will definitely like them.
When Fang Rui got the notice, he was accompanying Nini to entertain the little monsters with fish and other food. In the main room, Lin Fangfang and Murong Qian were playing checkers, and Xu Lijiao was serving as the chief adviser to both sides. As soon as Fang Rui heard the news, the villagers
Party Secretary Liu Fumin frowned when he explained, (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on the mobile website (.). Your support is my biggest motivation.)
