The villagers near the gate fled away, while the villagers in other places stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the arched gate, which collapsed into a pile of large broken ice blocks.
After the bald man came to his senses, he walked to the pile of broken ice and shouted loudly, "Cancelled! The festival will be canceled soon! Can we still see the gate now that it looks like this?"
Itakura Mika followed and asked angrily, "Isn't this another good thing you did? You wanted to force us to cancel the festival, so..."
"Shut up!" The bald man interrupted Mika Itakura with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Even if I don't do such a thing, the festival will end this year!"
With that said, the bald man impatiently kicked an ice cube in front of his feet, "Hurry up and clean up these things for me, the festival is cancelled!"
"No, the festival does not need to be cancelled," Tetsuya Shiota stepped forward with a solemn expression, staring at the bald man and said, "I will repair the door before tomorrow morning, so you won't have any complaints, right?"
When the bald man saw that other villagers were showing resistance and did not want to listen to his words, the bald man snorted coldly and left the square with the young man.
Shiota Tetsuya didn't say anything vindictive to the bald man, he just turned around and asked Itakura Mika calmly, "Mika, are you willing to help me?"
Itakura Mika regained her energy and nodded seriously, "Of course!"
The surrounding villagers also expressed their opinions one after another.
"So are we!"
"Let's all come together!"
…
after an hour.
The villagers had lunch and returned to the square to work again.
Dr. Agasa and others who were invited by Itakura Mika to watch the Ice Withering Festival were also busy and joined the team to rebuild the gate.
If you want to rebuild the gate, you must clean up all the broken ice blocks on the ground, carve out each word of the "Ice Withering Festival" with large square ice bricks, and then fix those ice bricks into an arch.
The broken ice cubes were piled together, the small ones were as big as fists, and the big ones were bigger than the basin.
Chi Feichi, Dr. A Li, Chong Shi Subaru and some villagers picked up the broken ice blocks and put them on the cart to build the ice.
The five children and other villagers used carts to transport the ice cubes to other places. One of the five children pulled and the other four pushed, and they energetically pushed the cart filled with ice cubes away.
Dr. A Li felt guilty when he saw Chi Feichi and Chong Shi Subaru working with nimble hands and feet.
I want you to do the work."
"It's okay," Chi Feichi carried an ice cube to the cart and put it away, calmly comforting Dr. A Li, "Help as much as you can, just think that we are experiencing the preparation process of the festival, and we can also exercise by the way.
Body."
The crime of infidelity in the morning also gave him the idea of helping with the work, but this time it was realized.
And he's not the only one. Dr. Ali, who is in his fifties, down to children of seven or eight years old, and him and Subaru Okashi in the middle, are all helping with the work.
'Directly turned into the 'Ice Withering Festival Props Preparation Team'.
Of course he wouldn't have any objections, after all, he was idle, and coming to help could not only exercise his body, but also let the sin of infidelity rest for a while, so that he would no longer have strange thoughts that would cause his stomach to twitch.
"Mr. Chi is right," Chongshi Subaru felt that Chi Feichi did not leave much room for him to perform this time, so he just agreed, "It is a rare experience to help prepare for the Ice Withering Festival."
Itakura Mika was picking up broken ice cubes at the side. Hearing what the three said, she thanked her loudly, "Thank you for your willingness to help!"
A villager and his companion came back with an empty cart and asked hesitantly, "Mika, is what Yamaguchi said before true? Will the village not hold the Ice Withering Festival again next year?"
Other nearby villagers temporarily stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Itakura Mika.
Itakura Mika sighed and quickly cheered up, "The top priority now is to hold this Ice Withering Festival. There is still one year until the next Ice Withering Festival. Let's work together to find a solution.
’s...I won’t give up fighting for the festival anyway!”
Seeing Itakura Mika's determined look, other villagers felt that they should not be downcast. While continuing to work, they discussed ways to continue holding the festival next year. From time to time, some people complained about the current village chief, which also made Chi Feichi
I found out some things about the village.
The bald middle-aged man who had an arrogant and powerful attitude before, and who had the qualities of a victim in a certain incident, is the current village chief of Kawato Village, and his name is Yamaguchi Taro.
The young man following Taro Yamaguchi is Taro Yamaguchi’s secretary, Kazuki Kogi.
Before Itakura Mika's father passed away, Yamaguchi Taro was a member of the village committee. However, Yamaguchi Taro usually had a bad temper, and some of the development suggestions he proposed were not very good. He was not as approachable as Itakura Mika's father and could consider the villagers' needs.
interests, so Yamaguchi Taro has never been able to compete with Itakura Mika's father.
Last year, Itakura Mika's father died in a car accident. At that time, there were rumors that Taro Yamaguchi had done something to him, but in the end the police investigation concluded that it was an accident.
After that, Yamaguchi Taro won over other members of the committee and gave a speech to the villagers, saying that he had experience and would inherit the legacy of Chief Itakura and lead everyone to live a good life. With all the operations in place, he would soon become the leader.
The new village chief was appointed.
And Kogi Kazuki had been working under Yamaguchi Taro a long time ago, and naturally became the secretary of the new squad leader.
Before Taro Yamaguchi became the village chief, the two of them were a little more restrained. Especially during the time when the new village chief was elected, the two of them were relatively low-key and harmonious. After Taro Yamaguchi became the village chief, the two of them gradually revealed their true colors.
Some villagers mentioned that many of the street lights in the village were broken and wanted the village to spend public money to repair them. Xiaomu and Xing said that the village chief was very busy and a few street lights in the area was not a big deal, so they let everyone solve it themselves.
Some villagers feel that there are no guardrails in the activity field outside the village. The road is slippery in winter and it is unsafe for children to run and jump. They hope that the village can repair it. Yamaguchi Taro said that children's safety education must be done well and guardrails cannot be relied upon to solve the problem.
Taro Yamaguchi did not spend anything, and some of the repairs and construction in the village were approved by Taro Yamaguchi, but whether it was approved or not all depended on Taro Yamaguchi's mood.
Those who don't respect Taro Yamaguchi enough and don't listen to Taro Yamaguchi's orders will not have their suggestions and ideas taken seriously by the village chief, Taro Yamaguchi. However, those who praise Taro Yamaguchi and listen to Taro Yamaguchi's instructions will be able to gain success in village affairs.
Some benefits may be deprived of others.
At the same time, Yamaguchi Taro is also trying his best to clean up the village committee, and wants to completely turn the village into his own hall.
Itakura Mika had doubts about Taro Yamaguchi after her death in a car accident. In addition, she was a member of the committee. Influenced by her father, she was not satisfied with Taro Yamaguchi's work attitude. Moreover, because of her father's accumulated reputation in the past, he could win many people.
Support has caused a lot of trouble for Yamaguchi Taro.
Now the people in the village are gradually divided into two groups.
A small number of people, like Xiaomu and Yuki, followed Yamaguchi Taro for profit. Under Yamaguchi Taro's deliberate arrangement, these people either joined the committee or were responsible for a certain construction project in the village, and they have made a lot of money for their families.
Less convenience.
This group has a small number of people, but it has a lot of momentum.
Most of the people stood behind Mika Itakura. Some of these people had been targeted by Taro Yamaguchi, or had their own interests infringed upon by the 'Yamaguchi faction' inexplicably. They had a lot of resentment towards Taro Yamaguchi, and some could not see it.
They were used to what Taro Yamaguchi did and felt that it was not a good thing for Taro Yamaguchi to be the village chief. There were also some people who were favored by the previous village chief and did not want to see Taro Yamaguchi bullying the orphan girl of the former village chief. Tetsuya Shiota belonged to the third type of people.
There are many people in this group, but they are a bit unsystematic.
Because many people just think 'I want fairness', 'I hope there is a good village chief in the village', 'I want Miss Itakura Mika not to be bullied', they are not as ambitious as the Yamaguchi group, even Itakura Mika
I just thought, 'I want to prevent Yamaguchi from doing things that are not good for the village.' I never thought about overthrowing Yamaguchi and becoming the village chief myself. The top and bottom people only unite together when protesting, and they don't usually stick together, so the overall lack of
Organizational, not factional.
In fact, this is the state that villagers in a healthy village should have. Everyone can protest against certain decisions and things, but they will not take the initiative to harm others for personal interests and grudges. If these people are like this
The Yamaguchi faction targets people like that. After the Yamaguchi faction is eliminated, they become accustomed to targeting people, and internal fights will gradually begin. Kawato Village will be finished sooner or later.
However, in this case, this group with a large number of people can only barely fight against the Yamaguchi faction, and they are even bullied most of the time, and many people feel timid when facing Yamaguchi Taro.
Just say that today, the only one who had a direct conflict with Yamaguchi Taro was Itakura Mika. No matter how dissatisfied Shiota Tetsuya was, he did not say any unpleasant words to Yamaguchi Taro. It seemed that being rude was the limit. However, when most of the villagers were showing off their power, most of the villagers just
Silence expressed his disapproval, but in his heart he still regarded Yamaguchi Taro as the village chief.
Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Japan cares more about the upper and lower classes, and as the village chief, Taro Yamaguchi controls most of the committee. If he wants to target a certain person or a certain family, there are many ways to do it. Villagers who have not been targeted in the first place feel timid.
Considered normal.
From a developer's perspective, the situation in Kawadu Village is too troublesome.
The villagers are divided into two groups, and a new round of conflict may arise at any time. One party cannot overwhelmingly control the other in the short term, which also means that there may be more than one conflict, and development is likely to be affected by this.
It is impossible for the developer not to get involved, because the Yamaguchi faction is a villain, and some people have decided that they are superior to most of the villagers. If the developer is fair, it will be unfair to them.
Tourism development is a long-term project that requires continuous investment of funds and continuous operation and profitability. Developers are not afraid that the village will not sign a development agreement with them, but they are afraid that after the village signs an agreement with them, someone will cut off water, electricity, circuits and puncture tires and railings at random...
Let’s not talk about the future, let’s talk about the present. The villagers preparing for the festival in the square today are all supporters of Itakura Mika. With Taro Yamaguchi’s arrogant provocation just now, the villagers here have already acquiesced that the Dongdu Leisure Industry has nothing to do with those in Yamaguchi.
It's a group. Some people have already begun to express resistance to Dongdu's leisure industry, and some bad-tempered people have already begun to curse.
As a result, when Dr. Ali heard a villager expressing dissatisfaction with Dongdu's leisure industry, he turned around and quietly observed his face. Seeing that he had no reaction, he hesitated to speak and looked at the person who expressed dissatisfaction with a frown.
They were probably worried that telling them about Dongdu's leisure industry would make the atmosphere awkward, so they quickly gave up and lowered their heads to pick up some ice cubes. When they heard another villager talking about Dongdu's leisure industry, they thought again.
