Chapter Thirty-ninth: The village needs to build roads
The sun above our heads became increasingly fierce, and the cement asphalt road was scorching hot.
Fang Rui was holding the cage in one hand and shielding him from the strong sunlight with the other. He was sweating profusely. As he walked, he thought about Yang Zhicheng, the person he had just fished for.
A few car beeps beeped, and a Changfeng Cheetah off-road vehicle stopped next to Fang Rui.
"Ruizi, you came to the market without even saying hello to your buddies."
The car window rolled down, and Old Bianmian said with annoyance, "It's so hot outside, get in the car quickly."
"I came here just to buy some eel cages and tell you what to do."
Fang Rui rolled his eyes at Lao Bian, went around and opened the door of the passenger seat, and sat on it. The air-conditioning blew on his body, and he felt comfortable all over. He looked at the old and stale decorations in the car and asked, "This car is yours?"
?”
"Hehe, it's a cheap car. I bought it three years ago. I can just drive it." The old man said with a smile.
"Why haven't I seen you drive to my house?" Fang Rui asked.
"Fainted, can this car drive in your place?" Lao Bian said with a black line on his forehead.
"You can drive to the side of the highway and then walk."
"Your home is two or three miles away from the road, why don't you drive people to death?" Lao Bian said, showing a mysterious smile, "But in a few more months, we won't need to ride to your home.
It’s a motorcycle.”
Fang Rui was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Lao Bian smiled and said, "Your village needs to build roads."
Fang Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are just imagining this. This road in our village may not be repaired within a year or two."
Xiaotai'er Village is a relatively remote place. It is two or three miles away from the main highway, and there are mountains and rivers in between. In the early years, the village party secretary and the head of the village mobilized the whole village to build the road. There are more than 100 households in the village.
People are quite supportive. After all, everyone knows that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Labor is easy to handle. The labor force in the village is not bad, and even women can take the lead in the front line. But the problem is funds. The village asked people in the industry to budget.
The approximate cost of building a road shocked everyone in the village. The calculated result was more than two million! This does not include concrete for the road or labor costs.
More than two million yuan, divided equally among each household, is more than 20,000 yuan.
For families in rural areas, more than 20,000 yuan is not an astronomical figure, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge amount of money. What's more, it was money made several years ago, and it is now at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
Logically speaking, the state supports the construction of roads and bridges in rural areas, and the government allocates special funds to subsidize it. Even so, it depends on you, right? The village party secretary of Xiaotaier Village has made n trips to the city
Everyone in this bureau and that department was being kicked around. Finally, the department leader got impatient and yelled at him: Special funds are tight. Do you think your village is the only one who needs to build roads and bridges?
But if you go to the village where such-and-such director or mayor is located, you will wonder, have you arrived at Huaxi Village? It is a bit exaggerated, but this is indeed the way of the world. This is why Fang Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly.
……………………
"Ruizi's road construction this time is a sure thing." Lao Bian said with great confidence.
"Are you so sure?" Fang Rui thought to himself, Lin Fangfang couldn't have mentioned it to his father, and then his father tried hard from behind. Lin Fangfang's father is the executive deputy mayor, and the road construction in Xiaotai'er Village is just a trivial matter.
He didn't just say it and it was all done.
"This morning when I sent Fangfang to the provincial capital, she told me this." Lao Bian didn't rush to drive, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it.
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of all the villagers in Xiaotai'er Village, Comrade Lao Bian." Fang Rui was very happy when he heard this. If the road is not repaired, the appearance of Xiaotai'er Village will never be changed, and so will himself.
In order to develop and expand the breeding and planting industry in the future, there will be no way and it will be very inconvenient...
"Oh, Ruizi, don't mention this, I'm still feeling guilty," Lao Bian said sourly after taking a breath of cigarette.
"Oh, why?" Fang Rui was surprised when he heard what Lao Bian said.
"I mentioned the road construction in your village to my old man a few years ago, but he didn't take it seriously... Recently I also wanted to talk to Fangfang and ask her dad to say hello... But I
Before I had time to say anything, the matter of road construction was suddenly decided..." Lao Bian said slowly, blowing out smoke.
"What's the difference between Lin Fangfang's help and your help?" Fang Rui said with a smile.
"I asked her if she had mentioned it to her dad, and she said she hadn't mentioned it at all... By the way, she said it seemed that a heavyweight leader in the province asked about it first, and then went public this morning.
A special meeting was held here to finalize it..." Lao Bian looked at Fang Rui thoughtfully, "Ruizi, do you think there is a Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger in your village? Who still has people in the province?"
Fang Rui smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, if someone really wants to build a road, it will have to wait until now."
Lao Bian said, "That's not certain. You can't tell whose daughter in your village will marry the son of a provincial boss?"
Fang Rui glanced at Lao Bian with disdain and said, "Our village is big, but there are only so many households. It's such a big deal, if a gust of wind blows over, everyone in the village will know. Such a glorious thing has really happened."
, I don’t know yet.”
Lao Bian was at a loss for answers, "It's impossible for the province to pay attention to a small mountain village for no reason... Then who is behind it?"
Fang Rui thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of anything, so he simply said, "Don't think about it. In short, that person did a great thing." Although he said this, this matter was between Fang Rui and Lao Bian.
