Chapter 0814 - Build a road for the village
Ren Tianfei's return suddenly gave the old Ren family a lease of life. Ren Haicheng, who was cleaning, ran out with two dirty hands. He looked at his son Ren Tianfei and said, "Are you back?"
"You're back, how's it going?"
Ren Haicheng smiled innocently and said, "It's almost, it's nothing." When I built a new house and moved, I lost all the useless things."
"It's better to clean up the useless things as soon as possible, and put them at home to take up a spare place"
As soon as Ren Tianfei's words fell, a few neighbors heard that Ren Tianfei was back, so they came over to say hello, and Ren Tianfei hurriedly ran back to the house to get cigarettes and candy. It's a form of hospitality that has been passed down for many years.
There were several waves of neighbors, and Ren Tianfei received them very politely one by one. It wasn't until Ren Tianfei's mother brought the cooked meal that some of the neighbors who came to see Ren Tianfei left.
Huzi smiled coldly and said, "It's all snobs, why haven't you seen them come before?"
"This is called being poor in the downtown and no one asking, and being poor in the mountains has distant relatives. Tianfei is now a famous person, and no one in the village says that he has made a lot of money."
Liu Cheng on the side said with a smile.
Ren Tianfei sighed while eating the noodles his mother cooked for him, and said: "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and I am a false name." It's really hard to compare with the bosses who are really rich, and besides, where is the money earned?
Ren Tianfei had just finished eating, and he was about to ask Liu Chengjian about the cold storage, when suddenly the village chief Yao Dongsheng came. As soon as the man entered the door, he laughed and said, "Tianfei! You're back, you're really anxious."
"Oh, that's not right, village chief! Tianfei can't come back, why are you in a hurry? He doesn't seem to have much to do with you!"
Huzi laughed and deliberately made a joke about the village chief.
Yao Dongsheng raised his foot and kicked, and Huzi dodged with a flash. Yao Dongsheng laughed and said, "You rabbit cub! Talking is neither big nor small, and he dares to joke with the village chief. Am I not able to remember Tianfei? My family is about to graduate with big characters, can I find Tianfei to be my son-in-law?"
"Hey, it's late, the village chief, people are flying, maybe they are going to get married in the first month"
Huzi deliberately angered Yao Dongsheng.
When Yao Dongsheng heard this, his face changed slightly and asked Ren Tianfei: "What he said is true? This rabbit cub runs the train with his mouth full, and he really doesn't have a word of truth."
Ren Tianfei handed Yao Dongsheng a cigarette and said with a smile: "I have a girlfriend, but I haven't got married so soon, and I may have to wait for two years."
"Oh, okay, you can only see which southern girls you have brought to the house. To get married, it has to be our girl. So what you say about girlfriends and the like is all fake, and it's unreliable. ”
As soon as Yao Dongsheng's words fell, Ren Tianfei's father heard the voice and walked in. Yao Dongsheng and Ren Haicheng have a good relationship. So without waiting for Ren Haicheng to speak, Yao Dongsheng took off his shoes and jumped on the big kang. In the winter, only the kang is warm.
When Ren Tianfei saw that his old friend was coming, he stopped working. After washing his hands, he also went to the kang, then lit a cigarette and smoked it.
Ren Tianfei is not stupid, he is like a mirror in his heart. Yao Dongsheng is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the reason he said that his daughter graduated and made him a son-in-law is just a pretense.
Liu Cheng gave Ren Tianfei a look, and when the two of them were about to go out, Yao Dongsheng spoke, and he said with a smile: "Don't go! I'm here to find you two big bosses."
"Oh, village chief, let's wait until the end of the New Year to talk about something. Now everyone is busy, what else to talk about. You also save money, first buy the New Year's goods"
Liu Cheng said, pulling Ren Tianfei and leaving.
Yao Dongsheng was anxious, and he shouted loudly: "Liu Cheng, don't try to escape. When will the promise of the villagers to build the road be fulfilled, this big word is said by yourself, and you can't help but admit it."
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Did I say it, you were waiting for me here?" I still said that we must repair this road, but there are too many things in front of us, and we really can't take care of it."
"Okay, you Liu Cheng, as soon as you have the money to talk, you start to put on a score? Don't you forget, when the fruit selection factory was built, who took the initiative to build roads for the people in the village? You are good, the fruit selection factory was also built, and the money was also earned by you, why didn't you admit it as soon as you turned your face?"
Liu Cheng was anxious when he heard Yao Dongsheng say this, and he pulled his throat and said, "Village Chief Yao! Yes! I took the initiative. But we are going to build two large cold storages at the beginning of the year, which will cost a lot of money, you say......"
"Then what do you mean to wait until you have earned enough money to build this road for the village? I can wait, but some people can't. Besides, when you want to cultivate in the Year of the Monkey, you may not have your share in cultivating."
Yao Dong bit life and death, it seems that he came prepared. Ren Haicheng squatted on the side and inhaled the incense, but he didn't say a word. Ren Tianfei's grandfather, Ren Zhen, has been busy in the yard, and for some reason, he hasn't entered the house.
Ren Tianfei couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled Liu Cheng and said, "Sit down! Huzi, and you." I ask you, you've thought about it, tell the truth."
"What did Township Chief Guo of Dongyang Township say? This matter really can't be delayed any longer. Let's discuss it with the three of us, and we can think about building the road."
When Yao Dongsheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's still Tianfei who talks and counts, it's like you two slippery heads."
Liu Cheng didn't pay attention to Yao Dongsheng anymore, but let out a sigh of relief and said, "The day before yesterday, Township Chief Guo called me and told me that there is no problem with the affairs of the land. I signed a contract on the eighth day of the first month, but I didn't book the machinery and equipment on both sides, because it was a bit too late for the New Year."
"In that case, we don't need to be in such a hurry. Anyway, the cold storage is built to put the apples, as long as the apples are not affected when they come down, the cold storage can be built later. So I think that as soon as the New Year is over, the road will be built on the fourth day of the first lunar month. The village contributed manpower, including transport vehicles. We only pay for the materials, and we also need to hire the relevant technicians."
Ren Tianfei said, and slapped the board on the spot.
Yao Dongsheng laughed and said, "It's still the eldest nephew." You can rest assured, the whole village will work every day, even if there is no work to do, you have to stand and wait for me."
"Uncle Yao, since this is the case, then we have something to say clearly. From Chujiazhuang to the national highway, there are more than ten miles to say. The stones and sand needed had to be sifted by the villagers in the dam. We only produce cement, and we will ask professional technicians to come and guide. The machinery and equipment are also paid for by us, and there are unreasonable routes to be rerouted. Whoever goes to the land must obey without reason. As for compensation, that's your business."
Ren Tianfei said to Yao Dongsheng with a serious face.
Yao Dongsheng blinked his little eyes and was silent.
At this time, Ren Zhen walked in from outside. He coughed dryly twice and said, "What? Is it difficult to let the villagers go to the dam to sift some sand by themselves? Tianfei and their money are also earned back by sweat, not by the strong wind." Yao Dongsheng: Have you ever thought about it, how big is the pile of cement placed in more than ten miles? What kind of machine money is there, you are too dark-hearted!"
As soon as the old man spoke, Yao Dongsheng's face turned red, and he stammered a little and said, "Dad Ren, don't be angry first, aren't I discussing with Tianfei and them?"
"There's nothing to discuss, you go back and immediately convene a village cadre and villager congress. Let the whole village work hard to sift the sand and select the stones. In addition, according to the requirements of the technicians, the roadbed was leveled, and then Tianfei invited the technicians to come and start the construction. The village has to agree, and the construction will start after the year, and it will not agree to pull it down. It's not a family of us."
Don't look at Old Man Ren's age, but what he said was not only powerful, but also very reasonable.
Ren Haicheng, who had been smoking a cigarette, also said coldly at this time: "I think what my dad said is very good, just this way." If the people in the village don't agree, then forget it. Everyone should take this bad road, and you will save your worries."
"Okay!"
Yao Guisheng said as he jumped off the kang and put on his shoes and left. Ren Tianfei sent him to the gate, and Yao Guisheng didn't reply with a little angry head.
Ren Tianfei returned to the upper room, and Ren Zhen said angrily: "What a bullshit leader, I just want to be the shopkeeper behind my back." He gave an order and asked you to pay for the road to be repaired, and when he was done, he went to the town to ask for credit, he thought too well!"
"Ren Ye is mighty, if Yao Dongsheng comes next time and talks nonsense, you will knock him on the head with a crutch"
Huzi laughed and said.
Ren Hai let out a sigh of relief and said, "Don't talk about this matter anymore, he can discuss it, and you will help repair this road." If the villagers don't agree, then don't care"
"Hmph! More than ten miles of cement, plus the money for road workers and machinery and equipment, that's not a small amount. This Yao Guisheng really thought that we were printing money. You and Uncle Ren are busy, I'll take Feitian to talk about something."
Liu Cheng snorted coldly, and he pulled Ren Tianfei and walked outside.
The three of them came to Liu Cheng's office in the fruit sorting factory. Unexpectedly, Liu Cheng put a big iron stove in his office. The fire in the iron furnace was blazing, and the whole house was warm.
Ren Tianfei walked over and sat on the chair next to the fire, and he asked with a smile, "Are you planning to celebrate the New Year here?" But it's nice to stay here and quiet at night"
Ren Tianfei said as his eyes looked around the room.
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "You're right, it's quiet to live here, just go over when it's time to eat."
Liu Cheng said, opened a small cabinet in the room, and took out two plates from the cabinet. One plate of pork head meat, and the other plate of vinegared peanuts with wine. Huzi looked at it, and without saying a word, dragged out a cardboard box from under the bed, and took out a bottle of liquor from it after tearing it apart.
Ren Tianfei smiled and said, "It's early! It's still early for the New Year! Now that I'm drunk, what should I do about the New Year?"
"Drink less, let's drink while talking about something," Liu Cheng said and began to pour wine.
