Chapter VII Village Chief

After planting the trees, I still had some time, so I completed the ditch water diversion project discussed yesterday.

The ditch does not need to be too big, that is, it only needs to be thirty to forty centimeters high and wide, which is just a small ditch. Without much effort, the ditch running through the entire orchard was completely constructed.

There was a slate maker in the neighboring village, so Wang Aiguo went ahead and ordered the slates.

Wang Long told his father the quantity and size of the stone slabs he needed and asked him to order them according to his requirements.

When Wang Long and Wang Aiguo returned home, uncle Wang Zijian was already waiting at home.

Wang Aiguo said: Uncle, you are here. Wang Zijian smiled and said: I am looking for Xiaolong! Then he told Wang Long that he had consulted in the town and came back to build roads.

When Wang Long heard that he only needed 400,000 yuan to build the road, he smiled and said, "Master, I think if I pay all of the 400,000 yuan, there won't be any need for the villagers to contribute."

Wang Zijian thought for a while and said: Xiaolong, I know you have good intentions, but you can't afford this money alone. After all, it is a matter for the whole village.

Wang Aiguo, who was on the sidelines, also agreed: Xiaolong, your uncle is right. Since you plan to spend money to build the road, the village can raise as much money as you want, and you can take care of the rest;

Wang Long did not continue to say anything; Wang Zijian continued: I also reported to Mayor Lu about your appointment as village chief. Basically there is no problem. Then we will just go through the procedures and let the villagers vote.

I think there should be no objection to your election as village chief.

"Dear villagers, please note that after dinner tonight, we went to the big stone slab in the village for a meeting; after dinner, we went to the big stone slab for a meeting."

A voice came from the village radio to announce the meeting; Wang Long knew that the uncle must have settled the matter; the big stone slab is the most central location of Wangjiazhai, and the location of the village committee is also there. Maybe after the meal, there will be a long story in the village.

Of course, it is also the place where the little bastards in the village play.

After finishing the meal, the family took the small stools and walked to the big stone slab. Of course, our little guy also took his own small stool, but he did not walk there by himself, but in his father's arms;

The little one has also been to the big stone slab. When I was at home with my grandma these days, my grandma also took the little guy to play on the big stone slab. As a result, the little guy made many good friends!

Not long after arriving at the big stone slab, a group of little bastards saw the little guy, and they all gathered around and shouted for the little guy to play together. When the little guy saw his friends, he couldn't wait to get down from Wang Long's arms, and then several little guys came

We held hands and played together.

"Sissi, your dad drove back today. Your dad is so awesome."

"That's right, Uncle Wang Long is the most powerful person in our village. My grandfather said that I will be as powerful as Uncle Wang Long in the future."

When the little guy heard his friends praising his father, he suddenly felt proud.

He held up his little waist and raised his head and said: My daddy is the best; he also bought me a lot of delicious food! When we play together tomorrow, I will bring it to you to eat! Suddenly a group of little bastards were excited

.

Among the group of children, the little one was neatly and neatly dressed. The rest of the little ones were obviously dressed in rural style.

Some clothes are big, some are small; some are dirty here, some are leaky somewhere;

Wang Long didn't mind the little ones playing with them, as he had done the same thing back then;

Besides, in rural areas, people don’t pay much attention to it. Children should be dirty as soon as they are dirty; only in this way can we have the fun of childhood; and it can also help the little ones integrate quickly.

After a while, almost everyone in the village arrived.

There are several very old desks lined up in a row at the entrance of the village committee. In addition to the party secretary, the village committee also has the village accountant, security director, women's director, etc.

Sitting on the rostrum are the uncle Wang Zijian, the security director Wang Aidong, the women's director Luo Chunmei, and the village accountant Liu Cheng;

Wang Aidong is Wang Long's cousin, Luo Chunmei is an aunt, and Liu Cheng is also an old man in his sixties.

Therefore, the entire Wangjiazhai village committee is all elderly. Young people who have no choice but to go out to work are the ones who stay at home.

"Okay, okay, don't talk anymore," Wang Zijian shouted loudly on the podium,

The chatter in the crowd gradually faded away, and Wang Zijian continued: "The main reason for convening everyone for this meeting today is to announce two things.

After saying this, Wang Zijian took a sip of tea and continued: One is about road construction;

As soon as I heard about road construction, it was as if water had entered the pan, and the noise started again, because this was not the first time we talked about road construction.

We know that every family needs to raise some funds. Although the younger generation has gone out to work,

But I have no education and no special skills. I just do some low-paying and heavy-duty work.

The money sent home every month is not much except for the children’s expenses and some living expenses. It can be said that there is no balance;

Wang Zijian patted the table in front of him vigorously and said: "Don't make any noise. Listen to me. I don't think there is any need to elaborate on the roads in our village. Everyone knows what the situation is. They all say that if you want to get rich, build the roads first."

Our village is the poorest village in the whole town, no, in the whole county. If nothing changes, our next generation and the next generation will live the same life as now.

"Old Party Secretary, you also know our situation, how much money each family can contribute!" "Yes, Old Party Secretary, we can't spare any extra money." All of the following words suddenly came out.

Wang Zijian patted the table once and said: Why are you arguing? Listen to what I have to say.

Today I went to the town and asked clearly. The road from the mayor to our village is 12 kilometers long. It costs 2 million to build a two-lane asphalt road. The state subsidizes 80% and the remaining 20%.

Our village will pay for it ourselves, which means we need to raise our own funds of 400,000 yuan;

As soon as Wang Zijian finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately became lively again. Four hundred thousand, even forty thousand was an astronomical figure to them;

There are only 100 households in the village, and each family has to pay 4,000 yuan to build the road. For them, not to mention 4,000 yuan, even if it is more than 400 households, they may not be able to provide land;

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise." Wang Zijian felt that his voice was hoarse. There was no other way. It was all because of some low-educated people.

It can be said that they are uneducated people. How can they have any discipline in meetings? Every meeting is like going to the market;

After calming down again, Wang Zijian continued: Listen quietly to what I have to say. I know the situation of each family in my heart. Don’t worry! You don’t need to pay any money.

As mentioned before, each family only needs to contribute 100 yuan, and then the village committee will contribute 1,000 yuan. The remaining money, Xiaolong, the son who loves the country, said that he should pay all of it.

The people below have done some calculations. Even if each family contributes 100 yuan, it is only 10,000 yuan. Before the village committee paid out, the total amount was only 11,000 yuan, so there is still a shortfall of 389,000 yuan!

Oh my God! How much does this cost?

Then Wang Zijian continued: Xiaolong originally said that he was responsible for all the expenses, but road construction is a major event for the whole village and everyone's responsibility;

After the road is repaired, a monument will be built and placed at the entrance of the village, and the amount of money each family contributes will be recorded on it.

"Another thing is that I am going to let Xiaolong, who loves the country, be the head of our village. In the past few years, I have been shouldering the responsibility of the party secretary and the village head. I am too old and will not be able to work for a few years. Xiaolong has

Culture, and having seen the market, the thought of returning to the village to support the development of his hometown does not reflect the kindness everyone treated him back then." Wang Zijian then told the story of making Wang Long the village chief;

Ignoring the reactions below, I continued: I think everyone has no objections!

The villagers below have no objections. Being a village cadre in their village is a thankless job.

Besides, they are all elderly people, so how can they have the energy to be the village chief? Besides, think about Wang Long spending so much money to raise funds to build roads.

He then agreed that Wang Long was elected as the village chief, and suddenly there was a chorus of approval from everyone below.

"I'll say the ugly things first. Don't think that Wang Long is young and senior. From now on, if you don't regard Xiaolong as the village chief, I won't argue with you."

Then Wang Zijian asked Wang Long to go up and speak a few words as a declaration of office;

Wang Long stepped forward calmly and said to everyone: Grandparents, uncles, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, I cannot achieve what I am today without the help you have given me in the past.

As the saying goes, don’t forget the well digger when you are ready. Since the uncle asked me to be the village chief, I will definitely make our village the richest village in the town, the county and even the province, and let people from all families working outside come back to build together.

our home,

What I want to say here is that I will never let down the trust that my elders have placed in me, so the first thing I ask everyone to do here is to call the young people working outside and ask them to come back!

He said that the village needs them and the family also needs them.

Wang Long came back amid applause. Wang Aiguo and Li Fang, who were standing aside, couldn't help but feel excited when they saw Wang Long. Their child had become successful, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

After returning home, the little guy ran to Wang Long and said: Daddy, Goudan, Erniu and Xiaohua all said that you want their parents to come back. Is that true?

Wang Long smiled and said: Of course it is true! Dad does what he says! The little guy immediately kissed Wang Long on the face and said: Dad, you are the best;

In the town's government conference room, members of the political party committee are also studying the matter of road construction in Wangjiazhai and the selection of village chief.

When Lu Hai told the team members what Wang Zijian had said to him, Li Yufeng, the leader sitting at the top, took the lead and said: Wangjiazhai is the most backward natural village in our town. Now a capable person from Wangjiazhai has come back to help his hometown.

We still need to support its development;

The secretary and the town mayor had already communicated this matter before the meeting. The Guanglong Town team was relatively harmonious, the tone had been set, and other team members had no objections. The matter was voted through by all members. After all,

The poorest villages have developed with their own political achievements.
