Different from the quiet morning in the past, Xiaba Village was busy as soon as the weather was slightly cool, and everyone got up early to cook early.

At half past six, except for Su Daqiang, who was lying on the bed and couldn't get off the ground, all the villagers at home in Xiaba Village gathered at the door of Mao Ye's house, and everyone was full of smiles.

Mao Ye changed into a straight old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, and the dark gray Zhongshan suit made Mao Ye's whole person look more upright, which invisibly made the atmosphere much more serious.

"Who remembers how many years our village hasn't done a big project?"

Mao Ye's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance, sweeping over everyone's faces.

Liu Heiwa was the first to react, turned her head to look at Qin Hansheng and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, Hansheng is the last person in our village to build a new house, it must have been twenty years, right?"

Heiwa is right, after Hansheng built a new house, no one built a house again. Tian Dachun added in due course.

Qin Hansheng had a smile on his face and said affirmatively: "The house I built in the year I built Xiaolan has been twenty-three years. ”

Su Ce looked at Mao Ye silently, he didn't know why Mao Ye asked this, but he could feel that today's Mao Ye was different from before.

"It's been more than 20 years, and Xiaba Village hasn't changed for more than 20 years, and if it weren't for watching the children grow up, I would have thought time had stopped. ”

Mao Ye's face was full of sighs, "Xiaba Village has always maintained this appearance, and it has not added a single brick or tile, but has been going downhill." The house fell, the house collapsed, and the people left. ”

The originally cheerful and relaxed atmosphere became silent because of these words, and everyone had a different demeanor.

"I know you all want to move out sooner, and I think that's the end of Xiaba Village. ”

As he spoke, Mao Ye looked at Su Ce and showed a smile, "To tell you the truth, I am ready, ready to guard the village alone until the day I can't do it." Xiaba Village is guarded by the library, and I am the last person who guards the library, and I should stick to it to the end. ”

Tong Sanwa came out of the crowd quietly, he came to call Su Ce to go over and set off firecrackers, just in time to hear the old man's last words, even though he was not from Xiaba Village, he could feel the heaviness of the old man's words.

"Daqiang is not here, and there are just some things that I don't want to say in front of him. Mao Ye looked at Du Yue, "Xiao'e don't tell Daqiang when she goes back." ”

Du Yue'e didn't know what Mao Ye wanted to say, and she didn't dare to answer.

Others, including Su Ce, looked at Mao Ye suspiciously, how could they get Su Daqiang?

Mao Ye let out a long breath, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, "I don't need to say Daqiang's temperament, you all know it very well." Daqiang followed his father to admit death, and when he became the village chief, he would only guard the current mess, and he didn't have to think about changing it at all. ”

"Don't laugh, if you become the village chief, maybe you might not be as good as Daqiang. Seeing Tian Dachun and Liu Heiwa smiling at the corners of their mouths, Mao Ye unceremoniously nodded to them.

"Da Qiang has a stubborn temper, and it didn't look good before, but today I found out that this is a good thing. If it weren't for his stubborn temper to take over the work of the village chief, it would not be Xiao Ce's turn to fight for him. ”

Just stopped others from laughing, Mao Ye himself couldn't hold back his laughter. looked at Su Ce and said with heartfelt emotion: "Xiao Ce is very good, really good." ”

"Uncle Mao, we all know that Xiao Ce is good, what do you want to say?" Liu Heiwa saw that Mao Ye looked happy, and had the courage to interject.

Mao Ye glared at Liu Heiwa angrily, "You know a fart! When Xiao Ce told you to contract the reservoir, how did you react one by one? A group of uncles can't find endless reasons and excuses, especially you Liu Heiwa, why are you embarrassed to let Xiao Ce contract the reservoir alone?"

Liu Heiwa was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Mao Ye would turn over the accounts at this time, and his face was full of embarrassment. Although Tian Dachun and Zhang Jianshe were not named, they both lowered their heads, secretly silently thinking that Uncle Mao couldn't see me.

"The reservoir contracting fee is 500,000 yuan, and Xiao Ce has carried it down alone, if there is one of you who has such courage, our Xiaba Village will not decay like this. ”

Mao Ye snorted angrily and looked at Tian Dachun and a few of them.

"Uncle Mao, you can't say that, the money that Xiaoce contracted the reservoir was lent out by a few of us, so we also have merit. Liu Guixiang saw that a few old men were trained by Mao Ye and didn't dare to speak, so he stood up and said a word at the right time.

"Yes, Master Mao, we also helped. Fat Ling hurriedly followed.

Mao Ye ignored the two of them, calmed down a little, and said: "The road we built today is the road to a better life in our Xiaba Village, and it is also the road to hope in our Xiaba Village." This is the hope that Xiao Ce brings to everyone, I don't ask you to listen to Xiao Ce in everything, I just ask you not to drag Xiao Ce back, okay?"

The dog nodded again and again on the side, and he also felt that Su Ce was powerful in his heart, but he was stupid and couldn't say it.

The others nodded their heads, Mao Ye's evaluation of Su Ce may be a little exaggerated, but the other statements are absolutely true. Today's road is the road to a better life in Xiaba Village, as long as this road is repaired, the income of everyone in Xiaba Village will increase, isn't it hope!

"Uncle Mao, don't worry, there is hope for the future, who still wants to live a hard life?"

"Xiao Ce is now the boss of several of us, and the employees must listen to the boss. ”

“......”

"Okay, don't be verbose, get down to business!"

Mao Ye noticed Tong Sanwa outside the crowd, stopped the topic at the right time, and walked towards the back mountain with a wave of his big hand with the people of Xiaba Village.

Tong Sanwa walked to Su Ce's side and whispered, "Village Chief Xiaosu, I have prepared firecrackers, and you will come to light the fire later." ”

Firecrackers?

Su Ce was slightly stunned, and then secretly annoyed, he should have bought some firecrackers on the day of breaking ground, why did he forget it!

When I came to the place where the construction was ready in the back mountain, the workers were ready, all of them were in good spirits, and there were several large machines on standby.

"What did Village Chief Xiao Su say?"

The groundbreaking ceremony usually asks the main characters to say a few words, and Tong Sanwa took the initiative to remind Su Ce.

Su Ce shook his head with a smile when he heard this, looked at Mao Ye and asked, "Mao Ye said a few words?"

Mao Jianjun hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused.

"Then set off firecrackers!"

Tong Sanwa turned around to greet her workers, and soon someone reported a large roll of firecrackers, with a diameter of one meter.

Waiting for the workers to spread out the firecrackers and set them up, Qin Hansheng handed Su Ce a freshly lit cigarette. This was the first time Su Ce had set off firecrackers in front of so many people, and he was a little excited in his heart, and his hands trembled a few times before he lit the fuse.

A rapid explosion sounded, and smoke with a strong smell of gunpowder flew out. In the corner where no one was paying attention, Tong Sanwa held three incense sticks and recited words in a certain direction......
