The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 28

Xiao Guangwei: "I asked the director of the village committee, and he said that in the past, when the former branch secretary Li was in office, someone suggested to get rich from local materials, build a brick factory, burn bricks and sell them, and helped contact a large Boss, we are cooperating with the village, but when people saw it, they immediately shook their heads. There is a lot of yellow mud, but the road is not good. Just like this dirt road, carts can’t get in, raw materials can’t be pulled in, and bricks can’t be transported after burning. Going out, even if there is a tractor for transshipment, it’s a waste of motors and waste of electricity. It’s an extra trick. Tofu has to be sold at the price of meat. People come to build a brick factory to make money. If they have to repair the road, Such a business without clothes and pants, even if he is a big boss, he won’t do it.”

What Xiao Guangwei said was funny, Zhu Xia couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Yes. No one is a fool, and no one's money falls out of thin air. Some big bosses are very picky."

Xiao Guangwei: "Later, the township came forward and said to raise a sum of money so that several villages along the way would raise funds to build roads. After the road was repaired, everyone would share... But the problem came again, and other villages had something to say. If the brick factory was built On our territory, it is natural for us to pay for road repairs. If the brick factory is built in Qingfeng Village, only the Qingfeng Village family will benefit. If this is the case, Qingfeng Village should pay the money, why should other villages invest money?

Qingfeng Village is already extremely poor, and the cooperative brick factory can only use manpower and land, so there is no money to build roads, this will not work.

But they also have something to say: We found the relationship of the big boss to invest, so why give it to other villages?
So... There was a lot of fighting and snatching, but no one succeeded, and finally... Oh, the big boss couldn't agree on it, so he left. I heard that he found a place with convenient transportation to make sand bricks, and he sent it a long time ago. Needless to say, he is now a well-known figure in the real estate industry in Ningcheng.Alas, it is a pity that Qingfeng Village is still struggling on the poverty line. "

Zhu Xia: "It's a pity. The person who suggested building the brick factory still has some vision. I don't know who it is?"

Xiao Guangwei: "It seems to be Li Zhishu's daughter. She is the first college student in Qingfeng Village. After graduation, she teaches in Ningcheng. She lives in Ningcheng and cares about her hometown. I heard that the boss is the parent of her student. She finally persuaded her. He came to cooperate, but it's a pity...sometimes it's not enough to just have the heart."

Zhu Xia: "So it's Li Ying. She's a smart and intelligent person. My father used to praise her for her promise in the future."

Xiao Guangwei: "Is that the sister Yingzi you mentioned earlier, your class monitor?"

Zhu Xia: "Well, that's her. I wonder how she is doing now?"

"I don't know about this. I came a few days later than you, and I only heard such a thing from the village director. As for the specific person, I don't know yet. I plan to go back and talk to the old branch secretary Li. Talk, ask about the situation, and next time I go to the city to meet this first college student from Qingfeng Village, maybe she is now a leading cadre, and I hope she will continue to contribute to her hometown.

Zhu Xia: "I was a classmate with Li Ying for two years. After my parents got their jobs, I followed them to Ningcheng, where I went to school. I only came back for a few days during the winter and summer vacations. I met Li Ying at that time. , she went to middle school in the village and high school in the town, and then we lost contact. Later, I heard that she was admitted to university, and my father asked someone to bring a gift. Later, my parents' work Transferred to the provincial capital, I was also admitted to a university in the provincial capital, and I rarely came back. I never saw her again. In my memory, Li Ying wore a pair of long braids and was smiling. She was a very amiable big sister. .”

Xiao Guangwei: "The one who can be praised by Mr. Zhu must be a great female high school hero. I want to get to know him if I have the opportunity."

Zhu Xia: "Hey, not only do I want to know her, but I also want to get more help through her."

Xiao Guangwei: "Hey, this small thought has been seen."

Zhu Xia: "Everything is for Qingfeng Village, but we must take good care of everything that is beneficial to poverty alleviation and prosperity."

Xiao Guangwei: "You're right, otherwise how would you get this cart of gifts? Hehe, the children can be happy for a while."

Zhu Xia: "Well, when they get rid of poverty and become rich, the children will be happy every day."

Thinking of Li Ying, Zhu Xia decided to visit Uncle Li Li Fumin after returning home.

It's been almost a month since I came to Qingfeng Village, and I haven't visited the old man yet.

Not to mention the good relationship between the two families, even Li Ying's father should visit him.

But the strange thing is that she saw many old acquaintances in Qingfeng Village after she came back.

Everyone greeted her warmly, but Li Fumin had never been seen before.

Uncle Li should know that he is back. According to the past situation, I have no time to visit his house. He will come to see his eldest niece by himself, or Mama Li will ask him to go to the house for dinner, but he has been back for a month. , It's a bit strange that I haven't met the Li family face to face?

Well, you must go and have a look when you go back.

Zhu Xia made up her mind.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a loud noise coming from the slope.

"Yo Ho Ho, Secretary Xiao, Teacher Zhu, here we come."

It turned out that the brigade from Qingfeng Village had arrived.

It is said to be a large group of people, but in fact it is the village director leading more than a dozen left-behind people in the village, carrying hoes and shovels, followed by the village principal Wang and a few older children.

Most of the villagers are middle-aged and elderly people, and the young laborers in Qingfeng Village have all gone out to work.

In the crowd, Zhu Xia did not see Li Fumin's shadow.

The village director who led the team was Wang Jinfa, who was the nephew of Accountant Wang.

Accountant Wang's wife has been doing business for several years, and their family became the first people in Qingfeng Village to get rich.

Wang Jinfa: "Secretary Xiao, as soon as you go out, you will pay two of them. This is a rewarding return."

Xiao Guangwei: "It's nothing to do with me. It's all donated by Mr. Zhu's classmates to the village school. I just brought it back by the way."

Wang Jinfa: "Teacher Zhu is really extraordinary. Let us see what it means to be capable."

Wang Jinfa's mouth is comparable to that of his uncle Wang Accountant.

Principal Wang Chunsheng stepped forward: "On behalf of the school, I would like to thank Teacher Zhu and Secretary Xiao."

Zhu Xia: "Don't be so busy thanking you, the car is stuck in a mud puddle, I have to find a way...or I'll just stay here overnight."

Wang Jinfa: "Oh, I said a long time ago that this road should be repaired, it can be repaired, but no one listens to me... Hehe, people speak lightly."

Wang Chunsheng: "Forget it, stop bragging and punching, get the car out first."

Wang Jinfa kept his mouth shut. Wang Jinfa respected this next-door cousin who was the principal.

So with a greeting, those old men who were watching the excitement came over.

Seeing the old and the young in front of him, Xiao Guangwei felt a little sad.

The main force in the fight against poverty is gone, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left at home. This battle must be fought.The courage on my shoulders is not light.
