Chapter 27 Road Repair
The sun sets, and Yang Ming finally covered the shed on the backyard well. It rains and snows, and the rain, snowflakes and other things will not fall into the well. In this modern society where the atmosphere is seriously polluted, who knows whether there is no chemical agent added to the rain, snow?
Wei Qingqing was still asleep in the house and was struggling hard in the afternoon. She probably couldn't wake up until she was eating.
The red clouds in the sky are burning, and tomorrow is another sunny day.
"All households have to pay attention. At 8:30 tonight, I will go to the brigade for a meeting. One person must be present in each household... At 8:30 tonight, I will go to the brigade for a meeting. One person must be present in each household..." A loud horn sound came over and echoed in the mountains.
‘Bao’ means ‘production brigade’, which is the name of the big pot rice era. It should now be called ‘village committee’, but everyone is still used to calling it ‘battle brigade’.
"The brigade has a meeting?"
Yang Ming was a little surprised, then shook his head and stopped thinking about it. His household registration seemed to be not here, and he was not considered a person here, so he should have nothing to do with him.
Yang Ming made the leftover vegetables at noon hot again. The couple had dinner together. After finishing the meal, it was already 8 o'clock.
Wei Qingqing was wearing cartoon pajamas and sat on the kang and watched "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" with relish. By the way, this cartoon is very popular, and adults and children like to watch it, "Husband, are you going to the brigade for a meeting?"
"What am I going to? Our household registration is not in this village." Yang Ming leaned against the quilt and watched TV together. In the past two days, he always felt that he was developing towards a "big-gray wolf-style husband".
"Knock..." At this time, a knock on the door came, "Sister Qingqing?"
"Is it Mrs. Liu? Come in..." Wei Qingqing said.
Then, Mrs. Liu led her daughter in, "My sister Qingqing, are you going to the brigade for a meeting soon? I want to put Baoer in your place."
"Okay!" Wei Qingqing waved to Zheng Baoer, "Baoer comes here, let's watch TV together."
"Yeah!" Zheng Baoer responded obediently, ran to Wei Qingqing happily, and watched TV with her.
"Sister Liu, what's the matter with the meeting in the brigade?" Yang Ming asked.
"Who knows this? That little thing in the village..." Mrs. Liu said casually.
"Knock..."
Mrs. Liu sat in Yang Ming's house for a while. It was already 8:20. She was about to leave and go to the brigade for a meeting. At this time, another knock on the door came from outside, "Are you brothers from the Yang family? The village chief asked me to inform you that your family also has someone, and you will go to the brigade for a meeting later."
"Who?" Yang Ming quickly got off the kang and put on his shoes, walked outside to see who the person was, but when he got outside, he found that there was no one outside at all.
"I left long ago. This person is the village chief's eldest nephew, named Wang Dafang. If you have anything, you knock on someone's door. If you shout outside, you will leave and don't meet anyone at all. The Wang family moved to our village twenty years ago. At that time, it was flooded and flooded their Wangjia Village. As soon as the township planned, the people from Wangjia Village were dispersed and merged into each village. One of them was merged into our village. The old Wang family is not a thing, and they do everything that is not moral. This time they notify you, there may be no good things..." Mrs. Liu followed out and said.
"Are they going to plot against us? Husband, let me go with you..." Wei Qingqing came out behind Mrs. Liu. After hearing Mrs. Liu's words, she said with some concern.
When Yang Ming saw her wearing pajamas, he ran out. The inside was hollow and his white calves were exposed. The cool breeze in the mountains was quite cool and there were many mosquitoes. After being outside for a long time, he would not get sick anymore and would be bitten by mosquitoes. He said, "You go back to the house and accompany Baoer. I will go with Mrs. Liu. I want to see what they want to do..."
"Then... well..." Wei Qingqing responded and retreated back to the room.
"Let's go! Let's go from here, and we arrived at the brigade at 8:30..." Mrs. Liu said, taking out a flashlight from her pocket, turning it on, emitting a dim light.
So, the two walked towards the brigade together. The night was dark and the light of the flashlight was not bright, but it could illuminate the road. The chirping of crickets along the way was like a quiet serenade, distant and beautiful.
The two walked along the gravel road. On the way, Mrs. Liu briefly introduced the situation in the village to Yang Ming. The whole village did not include the newly moved Yang Ming family, with a total of 105 households, with only two surnames, one was Zheng and the other was Wang. There were 75 households with the surname Wang, and there were 30 households.
The current village party secretary is from the Zheng family, named Zheng Dabao. He is 45 years old and has a very close relationship with Zheng Yunqian. Zheng Yunqian and Zheng Dabao's father, and their grandfathers are brothers. Zheng Dabao is relatively honest and dull. He can become the village party secretary. One is that he has the ability, and the other is that the Zheng family strongly supports him.
The village chief is from the Wang family, named Wang Quangen. He is 50 years old. He is quite greedy and likes to play tricks on his work. He can curry favor with the leaders. Back then, he made trouble for the township leaders and tampered with the household registration. He opened all the adult Wang family members separately. Finally, he was elected as the village chief with the advantage of one vote. There was no such thing as cheating at that time, so the Zheng and Wang families almost had a large-scale fight. At that time, it was quite a big deal, and they removed all the township leaders who helped the Wang family cheat at that time. However, Wang Quangen's position as village chief has been settled and has been sitting until now.
To this day, the relationship between the Zheng and Wang families is in a state of equality and mutual destruction has happened from time to time.
The two of them were talking while walking, and in a short while, they arrived at the village committee. Yang Ming also found out about the situation in the village.
The two of them entered the village committee one by one, and saw a large room full of people, all of whom were the heads of each household. On the rostrum, there were two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin. Mrs. Liu quietly pointed to him. The fat man was the village chief Wang Quangen, and the thin one was the village party secretary Zheng Dabao. On the table in front of them, there was a microphone and a tea tank, and there was still heat in the tea tank.
The two of them came to the end, found a bench together and sat down, waiting quietly for the meeting.
At 8:30, the village chief Wang Quangen glanced at Yang Ming, who was sitting behind, and spoke first, "It's 8:30 now, we're having a meeting now..."
"Today, I went to the village for a meeting. The secretary and the township chief criticized me severely. I was very dissatisfied with the development of our village. The most important thing is that there is no road. When the leaders inspected our village, their butts were swollen..."
"Ahem, Village Chief Wang, did the township leader tell you that their butts are swollen? Do we care about the medical expenses? Don't talk about some things or nothing, just talk about the serious matter..." The village party secretary said with a dark face.
"Haha, the village party secretary taught us a lesson! Then I'll talk about serious things..." Wang Quangen was scolded by a man five years younger than him, and he didn't care. Of course, he didn't know whether he was scolding or not. He just listened to him: "About the road construction in our village, the township leader gave our village a task. This year, it is necessary to build an asphalt road. It costs money to build the road, and it is not young and old. However, the finances of the township are also tight and cannot provide us with financial support. However, in the end, I begged with the township leader for a long time before the township leader gave me a
The power is that our village can contract out the mountains around the village. The mountains are national. If the contract is contracted, the contract fee must be paid. However, in order to support us in building roads, the contract fee will be handed over to our brigade to control it. If it is not enough, everyone will collect some funds... After an afternoon discussion with the village party secretary, Comrade Zheng Dabao, we selected the contracted mountain area, namely the Rabbit Yaozi Mountain at the entrance of the village, Huoqizi Mountain, the Strawmao Mountain in the north of the village, the Huagu Mountain, the Longhu Mountain in the west of the village, and the Flea Mountain..."
"Contracting method, we are also following the trend. We use the auction method. Those with the highest price will get the lowest price, 100 yuan per mu per year, and the contract period will be 20 years. The contract fee can be paid every year, and the minimum price will be 10 yuan per mu..."
"This bastard is planning to plot against you. No wonder Uncle Dabao's face looks so ugly..." As Mrs. Liu listened, her brows frowned and leaned into Yang Ming's ear and whispered.
"How could it be? Isn't it just six hills?" Yang Ming said.
"These six hills are so big. It's not that one mountain is the top of a mountain. The mountain behind your house has dozens of hills, all of them are from the Strawmao Mountain, and there must be hundreds of acres. Huagu Mountain is the mountain behind our house, and there are also many young and young hills. There are about a hundred acres. The two acres of land in your house are between these two mountains, and the other four mountains are also surrounded by the Strawmao Mountain and Huagu Mountain... It is very likely that this Wang, who is named Wang, reported the contracted mountain to the village." Mrs. Liu explained.
