After sending Luo Baxian away, Li Mu thought about how to stop for a while.

But before the excitement outside the house passed, another boiling sound came.

"It's endless, isn't it? ”

I just wanted to go out to have a look, but at the door, I happened to collide with my father head-on.

The joy on my father's face couldn't be hidden, "It's a good thing, the town has decided to build a road for our village." ”

"Really?"

Li Mu was stunned, "Dad, where did you hear the news?

The father affirmed and said, "There is no mistake, your Uncle Qiang Lin just came back from outside the village on a motorcycle, and saw that someone on the stone bridge was busy with instruments, and went up to ask, saying that it was to survey the road conditions, isn't this preparing to build the road?"

Li Muyi was right, and when he walked out of the house, it was even more lively outside.

Many villagers who did not leave will surround Li Qianglin, who has just returned from outside the village, talking excitedly, and every word is inseparable from the matter of road construction.

At this time, no one cares about Luo Ba's soft service to Li Mu first, because for the entire Baiyun Village, the world is not as big as the road construction.

Road?

Road!

There are those who believe, and there are those who do not believe.

Li Xuedong resolutely didn't believe it, "Qiang Lin, you won't tell nonsense, right? Last time there was a meeting in this town, I was going to move us all out of Baiyun Mountain, why did you change your mind and say that you were going to build a road in a blink of an eye?"

If Baiyun Village is most concerned about road construction, it should be Li Xuedong, because a few years ago, he engaged in strawberry planting in characteristic greenhouses in his contracted land.

He firmly believes that he will make a fortune through his hard work, but what is the result?

It took a whole year of hard work, invested almost all his savings, and watched the strawberry cultivation in the greenhouse succeed day by day, and he was also happy.

But when the strawberries were fully grown, he cried.

Because of this pothole-ridden dirt road that is more than ten miles long, his dream of making a fortune by growing strawberries has completely failed.

The strawberries that were barely shipped out were all broken on the road, which was a bad look, even if it was big and had a good taste, it couldn't be sold at a price.

It's not that he hasn't thought about increasing the packaging to avoid the strawberries from being damaged, but if you calculate an account, the cost of this packaging will be tens of thousands, not to mention that this is all his own cost, and those fruit wholesalers will not pay a dime more to buy.

In the end, Li Xuedong accepted his fate and sold all the strawberries on the few acres of land that held the hopes of his whole family, and never mentioned any special planting in the village.

In the final analysis, the reason why Baiyun Village is poor is because of this pothole-ridden dirt road.

If you want to repair, you have to break the mountain and open the road, and build a bridge in the water, the cost is too high, and there is a rumor in the town that the whole village of Baiyun Village will be relocated, but there is no fund, and it will not be able to take action for a while.

Li Qianglin said excitedly, "Of course it's true, I asked clearly, those people are from the city's construction company, specializing in road surveys, and the leader of the other party told me that at the end of this month, this road will break ground, and it will be opened to traffic at the end of the year at the latest." ”

The dream of many years has come true, and everyone can't accept it, as if living in a dream.

Li Xuedong was even more unacceptable, and muttered to himself, "If the road had been repaired a few years earlier, my family would not have been in debt! To this day, Dagui is still working in the factory to make money to pay off his debts." ”

Li Dali, the village director, stood beside him, and sighed when he heard the words, "Xuedong, look at the point, this road is really repaired, and we old and young masters in Baiyun Village will have hope in the future." ”

"If the road is really built, my family's life will be better. "My father is estimated to be the happiest one among them, as soon as the road is repaired, Li Mu's contracted Baiyun Mountain will engage in characteristic planting and breeding, and there will be a way out, and there will be no need to worry about losing money.

Li Xuedong secretly wiped a few handfuls of tears, and couldn't help but say when he heard the words, "Yes, your family's life is good, as soon as your son comes back to contract the mountain, he will build the road, I, I~"

When I was excited, I always felt that my chest was stuffy and unbearable, and I wanted to have a seizure but I couldn't get it.

When the people around listened to it, they couldn't speak, and my father was a little embarrassed and kept silent.

It's no wonder that Li Xuedong is so excited that no one can accept it.

When he was engaged in strawberry planting, he lost tens of thousands of dollars because of this road, and he has not paid it off until now, but when it was Li Mu's turn to contract Baiyun Mountain to engage in special planting, the road was repaired.

Do you deserve to be unlucky? Others are destined to be rich?

Li Mu stepped forward and persuaded, "Uncle Xuedong, don't be too sad, isn't this road still repaired after all? You have had successful planting experience before, and you can still continue to plant in the future, and sooner or later you will make a fortune." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Xuedong not only didn't appreciate it, but spit on the ground fiercely, "Plant, plant a fart~! This ghost road, if you don't repair it sooner or later, you just wait for the loss of labor and capital to repair it, and whoever grows strawberries in the future will be raised by his grandson!"

After saying this, he ignored the reactions of the people around him, turned around and left angrily.

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say it, and when he left, they continued to discuss passionately.

"Hey~ It's a trouble, forget it, don't mention him. ”

Li Dali smiled bitterly, turned back to Li Mu and said enviously, "Mu Wazi, this time you have good luck, in the future, there will definitely be one of the leading people in the ten miles and eight towns." ”

Can you not be envious?

The contract right of a full 150 acres of land, all planted with fruit trees will be two or three thousand, and when the road is repaired, there will be no worries about selling it, and the money will be made while lying down.

Li Mu smiled, "Isn't this luck?"

He said that he was lucky, but in his heart there was nothing to be excited about, because even if he didn't plan to repair it in this town, he himself planned to repair it.

"Hehe, when this road is built, you have made money, and you have to treat yourself. ”

Li Qianglin laughed and joked next to him, but before he could say a word, someone shouted, saying that he wanted to take his motorcycle to see the scene, otherwise he would not be at ease.

When Li Dali heard this, he also said, "That's the reason, such a big thing, you have to go over and see it in person! Qiang Lin, you give me a trip, I'll go to the town to see what the above says, maybe the village will raise funds at that time." ”

The villagers who just came to call the motorcycle were dumbfounded, but they didn't dare to compete with Li Dali for the right to use the only motorcycle in the village, so they could only shake their heads helplessly and leave.

If you don't have a car, it won't be difficult for these enthusiastic villagers, your legs are long on you, can't you walk, isn't it just a stone bridge a few miles away, no one is worthy.

Even his father was excited to follow suit, and pulled Li Mu, who was about to go back to the house, "Go together." ”

Li Mu really didn't want to go, "Dad, what's the hurry, anyway, it's going to be repaired, it's the same whether we go or not." ”

"How can it be the same, I don't see it with my own eyes, can I rest assured?"

His father glared at him angrily, and said, "This is really the manifestation of the ancestors, blessed by the Bodhisattva, why don't you come back to contract Baiyun Mountain, and this road will be built?"

In the end, Li Mu did not resist his father's request, and was dragged to the stone bridge.

At this time, the stone bridge can be said to be crowded with people, and everyone in Baiyun Village who can move, from the eighty-year-old white-haired old man to the little doll who has just grown teeth and is still held in his arms, has arrived.

Even Li Xuedong, who scolded and said that he would no longer grow strawberries just now, hid in the crowd and kept looking at the side of the stone bridge.

But no one dared to go up and disturb the technicians who were surveying with instruments and equipment.

Meng Jianshe is the person in charge of the city's first construction road survey team, and this time he was entrusted to survey the situation of the dirt road from Baiyun Village to the urban area.

"What's going on?"

Being stared at by so many people, Lao Meng's work was a little awkward.

But the old and young masters of Baiyun Village, none of them stepped forward to answer, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't move.

In the end, it was his father who pushed Li Mu, Li Mu didn't have a way, walked to the front and handed a cigarette, and asked with a smile, "This old master, what is your surname?"

Meng Jianshe took the cigarette, "Don't give your surname Meng, I said young man, what are you doing here, good guy, such a large group of people came to scare me." ”

Li Mu said with a smile, "These are all from our village, I heard that you came here to build a road for Baiyun Village, so you have to come and see with your own eyes." ”

"Well, I say. ”

Meng Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief, "This road is indeed built for your Baiyun Village, if you want to say that there are capable people in your village! I will walk this road again, and roughly estimate that it is at least twelve miles, if you add the bad road in the suburbs, a total of fifteen miles, and put a single lane in the plain area three meters wide It will cost 134,000 miles, not to mention that it is still a mountainous area, and a double lane will be built, which will cost at least 400,000 upwards, not to mention the money for building bridges and drilling holes." ”

Li Mu wondered, "Wait a minute, what do you mean that our village has capable people? Isn't this the town paying for repairs?"

"The town pays for it?"

Meng Jianshe was surprised, "It's impossible, can we still take the wrong job?" The entrusting party is the city's Founder Construction Company, and it is for you to build roads in Baiyun Village, isn't it your village people who pay for it?"

Li Muzhen was stunned, "Founder Construction Company, isn't this Lu Guangde's company?"

Meng Jianshe glanced at him suspiciously, "Yes, what's the matter, do you still know Mr. Lu?"

"Recognition is recognition. ”

Li Mu dragged his chin and pondered for a moment, and figured out that Lu Guangde not only left a check for one million, but also planned to build a road for the village to repay his life-saving grace.

But this gift is too heavy, right?

Just thinking about it, a person came from behind him, panting and said, "I am Li Dali, the village director of Baiyun Village, thank you to the town for building this road to prosperity for us, thank you so much, come ~ smoke a cigarette." ”

Li Mu looked at him with a sweat in confusion, "Uncle Dali, why are you walking slower than us on a motorcycle?"

"Don't mention it, Qianglin's broken motorcycle, halfway through the run out of gas, I came on foot. ”

Li Dali waved his hand angrily, and handed Meng Jianshe a cigarette, "Comrade, may I ask how much is allocated in this town? Is it to raise funds in the village or something?"

When he asked this question, Li Dali was bottomless in his heart.

Because Baiyun Village is poor, this road was planned a few years ago, and at that time, it was calculated that twelve miles of land plus the cost of building bridges would cost more than 3 million yuan for a single lane.

A small mountain village with more than 100 households, with a total of 600 people, if you don't rely on the above appropriation at all, then it will be 5,000 yuan for everyone.

It's five thousand each!

Based on Li Mu's family, in addition to his income from working in a big city, his parents work at home, and the money they have saved hard in a year is a little more than 10,000 yuan.

Keep in mind that this figure is not a penny saved in addition to any large expenses.

It's the money to buy even a new set of clothes a year.

Money that can only be saved when you eat only one meal of meat a week.

It was the old couple who saved money for Li Mu to buy a house and get married.

Put it in one household, it is an average of 30,000 yuan, just ask this money, how many can get it?

At that time, the town decided to raise half of it by itself and apply for half of the funding, but in the end, it was finally abandoned because Baiyun Village could not make up the remaining 1.5 million.

Meng Jianshe was stunned, "Don't make a mistake somewhere, right?"

Things are a bit abnormal, if there were powerful people in Baiyun Village who paid for the road by themselves, this matter should have spread a lot of news, why didn't even the village director know?

Just wondering, there was a sudden sound of a motor behind him, and an off-road vehicle stopped at the head of the bridge, leaning out of a person.

Meng Jianjian was amused, and pointed back, "The Lord is here, you can ask him to go." ”

Isn't it who Lu Guangde is, but he will be red and smiling.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Li Mu, who was talking to Meng Jianshe in the middle of the bridge, and walked straight over, "Real person, why are you here?"

Li Mu stretched out his finger and pointed at him, "Mr. Lu, what kind of trouble are you making for me?"

Lu Guangde said, "No, isn't this the place where I look at the real person, where you live with inconvenient transportation, and deliberately build a road for you to walk around conveniently?"

"I thank you for your righteousness. ”

Li Mu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, "But this is too expensive, I can't afford it." ”

"You can afford it, you are the great benefactor of my family, without you, I don't know where to be a lonely ghost now. ”

Lu Guangde said sincerely, "So, no matter what, you have to let me do what I can for you, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy." ”

"That's not good, this road will be repaired, it will cost millions, no matter how heavy the kindness, I don't want so much money to pay it back. Li Mu insisted on refusing.

He turned to Meng Jianshe and said, "Do you accept installments for road construction?" I don't think I have so much money on hand now, but you are all here, so let's just repair it first, I will think about a way, can I make some more money to make up for the rest of the road construction money for you." ”

"Don't mind~!"

Lu Guangde was anxious, "Real person, you just look down on me, it's just a few million, I Lu Guangde can still take it, you must let me pay this money, otherwise I will lose my face when I turn around." ”

"What the hell is this called?"

As he said this, Meng Jianshe and Li Dali next to him were completely dumbfounded.

When did you invest millions to build a road, just to make it easier for someone to go out?

Is this money blown by a strong wind?

What's even more speechless is that one insists on giving it, and the other insists on refusing to accept it.

Meng Jianshe was even more speechless, "We are engaged in surveys, and it is Mr. Lu and their company who are engaged in road repair, besides, I haven't heard that the road is repaired and paid in installments, or the two of you will talk about it?"
