Chapter 41 The Desire and Eagerness of the Villagers
After dinner in the evening, my mother said that the whole village was meeting at the house of the village party secretary Liu Fumin, and asked Fang Rui if he wanted to go together.
Fang Rui was very interested in building roads, so he went with his mother.
I came to the village party secretary Liu Fumin's house with a miner's lamp, and found that his old hall, corridor, and Shaiguping in front of the house were already full of people. Everyone was talking animatedly. And those who usually get together and fight
The noisy children were also listening quietly to the conversations of their elders at this moment. Although they were young, they also knew that this was a major event related to their life and destiny.
This shows how eager and eager all the villagers in Xiaotai'er Village are to build roads.
However, nine out of ten people who come to the meeting are the older generation and left-behind women. Because of the traffic congestion and lack of specialty resources, in order to make a living for a family of several people, the young and strong laborers in the village have chosen to go out to work. If there is nothing special,
They only go home when farming is busy and during the Chinese New Year.
"Brother Seven, you are talking about road construction. Liu Fumin has been running up and down the city and town a hundred times over the years without success. Why do you think it will be repaired this time?" A man with a withered arm said he was old.
The old man in his seventies said to another old man with pale hair who was older than him.
"I heard from my old woman that a certain brain in the province spoke out, so the city decided to build the road in our village." The pale old man couldn't hide the excitement in his cloudy eyes.
"So that's it, let me tell you. Why did the city and town suddenly pay so much attention to our village, and they were even willing to spend millions to build roads in our village? Haha, it turns out that it's the province's big brain.
That's it...but, the provincial head is far away in the provincial capital, how did he know about the situation in our village?" The withered old man said with a smile, and then frowned.
"He is the brains of the province. The whole province is in his hands. You think he doesn't know what is going on in our province." The white-haired old man was a little too happy and couldn't help but pick up the cowhide.
"Look at what you said, Brother Qi. Our province is so big. No matter how powerful the brains in the province are, he can't know everything, right?" After the withered old man finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at the white-haired old man, looking a bit like an old child.
the taste of.
The white-haired old man looked at him and smiled without two teeth. After smiling, he sighed, "We can't understand these questions. We are too old to bother to understand them. Anyway,
In this lifetime, we can see that our village has built a road that will benefit future generations and generations to come, and we can go there with peace of mind... Otherwise, we won’t be able to be at ease until we die."
When the people nearby heard what the old man said, they all laughed, very simply and honestly, from the bottom of their hearts.
……………………
The village party secretary Liu Fumin is an old man in his fifties. He is relatively short in stature and has a hunched back. He can be said to be unattractive in appearance. But it must be said that Liu Fumin is really a good party secretary. He almost ran out of work for building roads and schools in the village.
Legs, but their abilities are limited and the world is realistic. Although they put all their efforts into it, in the end it was all in vain.
Today, the city decided to take the lead in building roads in the village, which made him so happy that he almost lost his temper. When the city leaders and town leaders came in the afternoon, he wanted to hold them in his arms and kiss them a few times.
Liu Fumin stood in the middle of Shaiguping, his face glowing red, and he looked quite high-spirited, as if he was about to enter the bridal chamber later.
Looking at the equally excited villagers and neighbors around him, Liu Fumin coughed twice, and everyone calmed down and looked at him.
Liu Fumin looked around at everyone and announced the news about road construction that everyone had known for a long time. He also said that this time the road construction was decided by the city and allocated funds from the city finance. Not only did the villagers not have to pay a penny, they even had to pay half of the labor.
Don’t go out…
Liu Fumin changed the topic again, saying that building roads will definitely occupy mountains, fields, and ponds. The government will also provide compensation in this regard, but it will not be too much, so everyone should not have any emotions or opinions.
There was another discussion in the hall in the corridor of Pingli, and everyone was thinking the same thing: let alone compensation, even if there was no compensation, they would not have any objections!
Finally, Liu Fumin said that a temporary canteen would be set up in the village to provide meals for the construction team, and asked who would be willing to help in the canteen for free. As soon as the words came out, hundreds and dozens of people almost unanimously agreed to go.
Seeing that everyone was so united and selfless, Liu Fumin smiled, but voluntariness was voluntary, and fairness still had to be discussed. Excluding those with special family circumstances, Liu Fumin eventually provided one person per household, and the whole village was divided into more than 100 households.
The families were divided into more than a dozen groups and took turns coming to the canteen to cook meals. As for the money, of course it came from the road construction funds.
……………………
All that had to be said and discussed was over, but everyone did not disperse. They were still discussing enthusiastically until late at night, when Liu Fumin and his wife rushed everyone away, and everyone went home one after another.
Walking on the way home, Yu Yinghong kept laughing. As she walked, she asked Fang Rui, who was lighting the lamp behind, "What changes will happen to our village once this road is built?"
Fang Rui said without hesitation, "Within one year, 30% of the people in the village will build new houses."
Yu Yinghong sighed, "Yes, once the road is built, houses should also be built... If there is no road, it is really inconvenient to build houses. Just the dozen or so red brick houses built in our village now
I have a house, a magnetic house, but I don’t have enough money to carry a pole. Think about the two or three miles of paths, every brick, every tile, the first bag of cement and lime, and every load of sand were actually carried back on your shoulders.
"
Fang Rui could imagine the scene of sweat and hard work, and he couldn't help but sigh and sigh in his heart. Now it's better, everything can be shipped directly to his doorstep.
