[54] An important decision of Lijia Village, the bridge must be built even if it is in arrears
"Well, okay, we'll talk after we go up the mountain."
After nodding gratefully to Li Bu for alleviating the embarrassment, Shuangxi and Huang Xiaoli sat obediently in their seats and stopped making any sound while looking out the window, quietly watching the dusk scenery of the steep mountain road.
When Li Bu and Shuangxi went up the mountain, the villagers of Lijia Village gathered together in the open space at the entrance of the village just because Li Bu said they wanted to build a bridge.
"Village Chief, I am the only bachelor in my family now. Do you think I don't have to pay this money because I have no wife and no children?" When everyone gathered together to wait for Li Bu to come back, the bachelor in the village asked
Li Zhiyou suddenly approached Li Aiguo and talked about his family's situation with a smile.
There are only a few dozen families left in the village. How could Li Aiguo, the village chief, not know about the situation of Li Zhiyou's family? And precisely because he knew, he taught Li Zhiyou more seriously: "
Zhiyou, if everyone thinks like you do, do you think the bridge in our village can still be built?
Except for Li Wanfu and his family, who have four young people, the rest of the people left in our village are the elderly and children.
They are all old people and children. Do you know what this means?
This means that if we don’t change, our Lijiacun will really have no future.
Zhiyou, you are right to say that you are now a bachelor without a wife and children, but don’t you think that at this time, you should actively participate in it?
Think about it, when the bridge in Lijia Village is completed and our B&B is built, our place will become a major tourist attraction. By then, are you still worried about not having enough money to marry a wife or not being able to marry a wife? "
Li Zhiyou is thirty-six years old this year. He was originally in his prime, but due to living in a mountain village for a long time and doing farm work in the sun, he looks a bit older now, just like he is in his forties.
Looks like a middle-aged man.
In addition, the conditions in Lijiacun are too difficult. It is troublesome for ordinary people to even go in and out of the mountains. Therefore, he has not been able to marry a wife until now, even if nothing happens [Li Bu does not build the bridge]
If so, he will probably continue to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Li Zhiyou, who knew his situation, after hearing Li Aiguo's words, first thought about his own situation, and then directly gritted his teeth and replied to Li Aiguo: "Okay, let's build a bridge. Anyway, we are the creditor Li Bu."
If Lao Li's family fails at worst, I will just work in his orchard to pay off the debt!!"
"That's the right idea.
After the bridge is built, even if you don't want to marry a wife by then, we will have to force you to find a wife.
The population of our Lijia Village is very small, and if there is one person who is not married and has children, this will be the fault and incompetence of our elders." Hearing that Li Zhiyou finally got the idea, Li Aiguo patted him on the shoulder with relief and smiled.
He promised to handle the matter of finding a wife for him in the future.
Hearing Li Aiguo's words, Li Zhiyou nodded first, then walked to Li Wanfu, smiled and flattered him and said, "Uncle Wanfu, you can tell your little boy later that you can let me work in their orchard.
No?
My salary requirement is not high, just two thousand for food and food a month..."
"This shouldn't be a big problem. Brothers Xiaobu and Xiaohong went down the mountain to buy chickens and ducks.
Xiao Bu knows nothing about breeding and planting, and Yanmei, a woman, is simply too busy to do this.
So I'll tell him later that it shouldn't be difficult to get you a job." When Li Zhiyou said he wanted to work at Li Bu's house, Li Wanfu was stunned for a moment, then nodded to express the problem.
Not big.
Of course, he didn't agree directly on Li Bu's behalf, but just agreed to help Li Zhiyou with questions.
Hearing the conversation between Li Wanfu and Li Zhiyou, the villager on the side, Li Dawei, the owner of the van, suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted: "It's broken, it's broken, how did I forget about this?"
Why did I forget to tell you about this? Hey, this is true, why is my mind like this??"
"David, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you shouting so loudly?" Faced with Li David's sudden shouting, the villagers were startled at first, and then looked at him with a puzzled expression.
asked.
After seeing everyone looking at him, Li Dawei immediately covered his head and said with embarrassment; "In the afternoon, Xiaobu called me. He said that our van broke down on the road and couldn't leave, and then he also
Got caught by the traffic police.
When he was caught by the traffic police, Xiao Bu happened to have already obtained his driver's license, so he was lucky enough to avoid being investigated for driving without a license. However, my van was not inspected because it did not have an annual inspection and the expiration date was expired.
Because of this, he was detained by the traffic police and dragged away.
The shabby car was towed away, and it would definitely never come back, so Xiaobu called me and asked me how much compensation I would have to pay. I said at that time that it would be enough to give me a thousand or two thousand, and then Xiaobu said
He said he would compensate me three thousand, and after he hung up the phone, he immediately transferred the money to me using his mobile phone transfer."
"It's just that your old car was impounded. Do you need to scream and scream to scare people?
Besides, didn't Xiaobu give you all the money? He's a member of Lijia Village, and you still want to blackmail him?" The villagers were very unhappy after hearing Li Dawei's confusing words.
Criticized Li Dawei.
Faced with the criticism from the villagers, Li Dawei rolled his eyes and looked at the villagers who criticized him with contempt and said, "Can you use your brains? Did I say what else I want? Xiao Bu is
My nephew, how much more money can I ask for from him? Really.
You don't understand what I'm talking about at all!
What I'm talking about is that Xiaobu originally drove my van down the mountain, but now that the van has been towed away, he doesn't have a car anymore, and now he has bought chickens and ducks, so how should he come back now?
ah??"
"I'll go, yes, Xiaobu's van has been taken away, so how can he come back?"
"Xiaobu is so smart, he should think of a way to come back, such as renting a car from some car dealers."
"He should be able to come back. Why don't you guys make a call and ask? If he can come back, we will wait for him here. If he can't come back, then we can come back to discuss it tomorrow?"
Didi Didi... Didi Didi... Just when the villagers were wondering whether Li Bu would come back today, a brand new car sped up from the bottom of the mountain and then drove steadily in front of the villagers.
Stopped.
The car that came back belonged to Li Bu.
After parking the car, Li Bu took off the car keys with a smile, walked down with Li Hong, and then greeted everyone with a smile alone: "Uncles and uncles, we have gathered so well, and we have come up with the result after discussion."
Is it done?"
"Xiao Bu, what you said, we went back and considered it all night yesterday.
You are right, if we don't start to change now, our Lijiacun will really have no future.
Now that there is a young man like you in Lijia Village who dares to go crazy and fight hard, we old guys should go crazy with you.
We built the bridge, and we shouldered the debt.
If we win, we will enjoy happiness in the future; if we lose, we will be like Li Zhiyou and go to your orchard to work for you to pay off your debt..."
At first, when Li Bu said that building the bridge would require everyone to bear debt, the villagers were very afraid and taboo.
But after thinking about it for a day and a night, they finally figured it out and understood clearly that Li Bu never wanted them to get a penny from the beginning to the end. All he wanted was for the big guys to gamble with him on the land of Lijia Village.
That's all.
In addition, even if they lost in the end, they actually didn't have any losses, including Li Bu himself. At most, he just acted as a private person and donated 6 million in cash to Lijiacun.
So after thinking about all this, no one in the villagers stood up to oppose this time. This time, the villagers all nodded and expressed their willingness to build the bridge, willing to bear the cost of building the bridge, and also willing to use land mortgages to do so.
