Chapter 304: The Pond
Li Xiaogang thought for a while and said: "If in the past, this little money was nothing to me at all, but now I can also say that I have nothing, this is really a problem!" ”
Seeing Li Xiaogang's frowning and speechless, Erniu didn't dare to disturb, just silently accompanied him on the side, and after a while, Li Xiaogang suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle Erniu, I have a way!" ”
"Oh, what's the way to tell me about it!" Erniu's spirit perked up, and he urged repeatedly.
Li Xiaogang said slowly: "We might as well reach an agreement with them in the name of the village committee first."
As for the salary, we owe them for the time being.
When the pond is dug up, we can use the pond to raise fish, and then use the money from fish farming to pay off their wages, do you think that's okay? ”
After listening to Li Xiaogang's method, Er Niu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! I didn't think of that! I should be able to, I'll talk to them! These people in our village are sincere, and if you heard that you mentioned this matter, there won't be any problems, so you can take a look! ”
When Erniu told Li Xiaogang's opinions to everyone, it was really a crowd of applicants, and their enthusiasm rose unprecedentedly.
Li Xiaogang was determined and quickly drew the drawings.
There is only one more problem, that is, the construction of the pond must occupy the fertile land of several families, and in the eyes of the farmers, the land is the lifeblood! Taking their land is no different than taking their lives! In Li Xiaogang's expectation, the resistance should be very large.
Sure enough, when those few people heard that their land was going to be occupied and they were digging ponds, they stopped doing it! This time, even if Li Xiaogang agreed to use the shares of the pond to exchange with them, it would not work.
Seeing that this project was about to run aground, Li Xiaogang's mouth foamed in a hurry.
Erniu even ran to their homes three times a day to rub shoulders with them. But no matter what he said, they just didn't agree, so Erniu could only return with a feather.
On this day, Li Xiaogang was worried about how to persuade those villagers, Li Ming and Bai Yun suddenly found Li Xiaogang together, which made Li Xiaogang a little puzzled, looked at the two of them suspiciously, and asked, "Dad, Mom." Is there anything wrong with you? ”
Li Ming smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, Li Xiaogang opened it and saw that it was a land contract! Li Xiaogang was taken aback and asked, "This is the contract for the land contracted by our family?" ”
Li Ming smiled innocently, and then nodded seriously.
Take the land contract in your hand. Li Xiaogang looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean......" Li Ming smiled innocently and said: "Child, aren't those families unwilling to give up their land, you take these to exchange with them."
Everyone is reasonable, and they will agree! ”
Li Xiaogang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Then how can it be done!" These lands are your lifeblood, how can I do that! ”
Bai Yun smiled and said, "What is the root of life and not the root of life, it depends on what you kid said." Our lifeblood is your son! You are now doing good deeds for the old and young masters of the whole village, who will support us as parents! ”
Li Xiaogang looked at Li Ming with emotion, Li Ming shook his head and said, "Go ahead!" Besides, your father and I are old and can't plant anymore.
Don't you want me and your mother to enjoy the blessings? ”
"Dad. Mother! Li Xiaogang couldn't help but let out a sad cry.
The two of them said it lightly. But seeing the dark circles under the eyes of the two, Li Xiaogang knew how long the two had struggled to make such a decision. In the end, their love for their son overcame their attachment to the land.
This is the kind of parents who can give up a qiē for the sake of their children.
looked at Li Xiaogang who was in tears. Li Mingyan said: "Look at you, now you shed tears at every turn!" Sue you, although Dad is just an ordinary farmer, Dad also knows that boys don't flick when they have tears! Instead of crying and wiping away tears here, it's better to make a little achievement to show your parents! ”
Li Xiaogang wiped away the tears in his eyes, nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, Mom, it's true that you are farmers, but you are not ordinary at all!" Don't worry, your son won't let you down! ”
After speaking, he bowed to the two, took the land contract, and walked out with full confidence, with such parents and their support, Li Xiaogang firmly believes that even if he wants to poke a hole in the sky, he can do it!
When I came to Erniu's house, Erniu was drinking.
Poured into the stomach cup by cup, his brows wrinkled into a big pimple, and he looked preoccupied! Li Xiaogang looked at Erniu and smiled: "Uncle Erniu, I ......"
Erniu waved his hand and said, "Xiaogang, you're here." Check this out! As he spoke, he took out a few thin pages of paper from his personal pocket, Li Xiaogang knew at a glance that it was a land contract, and said with a move in his heart: "Uncle Erniu, what are you going to do?" ”
Erniu poured a few more mouthfuls and said, "I have already thought about it, take my land and exchange it with them, how difficult it is for me to repair this pond!" ”
Erniu's words made Li Xiaogang stunned, and from this authentic village party secretary, he deeply felt the true meaning of a servant of the people.
I am afraid that even those mayors and provincial governors who are well-educated and think that they have a high sense of government will bow to the wind, and even more so feel ashamed.
Li Xiaogang silently took out the land contract that Li Ming gave him and said, "This is my father's contract, and he thinks the same as you!" ”
Erniu raised his head in astonishment, looked at the contract in Li Xiaogang's hand, shook his head, and said firmly: "No!" I disagree! I am the village party secretary, and I should come if I need to sacrifice, and I can't take their turn.
Hurry up and get the contract back and give it back to your parents......"
Li Xiaogang shook his head equally firmly and said, "No! I proposed to repair the pond, so if I had to make a sacrifice, I should be the ......."
"Shut up! Stinky boy! Erniu suddenly became angry, slammed the wine glass on the table, looked at Li Xiaogang, who was a little stunned, Erniu collected his attention and said, "I'm sorry Xiaogang, I was too excited just now."
You've been studying outside since you were a child, and you don't know how important the land is to the peasants.
This is no longer a question of whether there is a job or not, the land is the root of the peasants, and without the land is like a crop without roots, they will feel unreliable......"
"What about you? Isn't the land important to you? ”
Li Xiaogang looked at Erniu and asked.
Erniu was stunned and said, "Important! Of course it's important! But in my body, there is the happiness of the whole village, and they are more important! ”
Li Xiaogang nodded heavily and said: "Village Chief, you always say that the most regrettable thing in your life is that you haven't studied for a few more years, but in my future, you are much more knowledgeable and nobler than those knowledgeable mayors and governors!" I am a villager of Happy Village, and I am glad to have a village party secretary like you, and I am even more proud! However, it is too difficult for you to accomplish something alone! Let me be with you! ”
Listening to Li Xiaogang's words, a trace of tears flashed in Erniu's eyes, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth, wiped the tears in his eyes, and said, "Good boy, good boy...... Walk! Let's go to them together! Erniu poured a few sips of wine, strode out, and walked out first.
When the villagers watched Li Xiaogang and Er Niu come to the door with a land contract, they were all silent.
The peasants are simple, not mercenary! Erniu is right, what they care about is not money, but the dependence on land in their hearts.
Now seeing that the village chief and Li Xiaogang are going to exchange their land with them, these simple farmers are finally moved, and from their simple faces, Li Xiaogang and Erniu see a kind of hope.
All the villagers gave up the land, and when Li Xiaogang offered to exchange his land with them, he was driven out by the villagers.
Li Xiaogang looked at Erniu with some awkwardness, and Erniu laughed and said, "Boy, it seems that you still don't know enough about farmers!" At this time, you offer to exchange land with them, which is an insult to them! Although the peasants have been poor, their spirit is not poor, and their souls are not dirty! Do you understand? ”
Li Xiaogang nodded and said: "I didn't understand before, since they are so short of money, as long as you have money with them, there is nothing that can't be done, but now I understand, how stupid I was before!" ”
Erniu said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, are you ready to start, I can wait to see you show your strength!" Li Xiaogang said excitedly: "You just look at me!" I'm now full of confidence and it's time for a change! ”
The last obstacle was solved, and the construction of the pond in Xingfu Village officially began.
As the commander-in-chief, Li Xiaogang fell into extreme busyness.
Go out in the morning with the stars and the moon, and go home with the moon and stars in the evening.
Although busy, these few days are the most down-to-earth and happy days for Li Xiaogang.
Watching the pond take shape day by day, getting deeper and bigger day by day, Li Xiaogang's heart was full of pride and a sense of achievement.
The people of the whole village, the men go to work, the women cook rice and boil water at home, and the whole construction site is in full swing, and they are happy.
Li Xiaogang shook the tools in his hand bare-chested, without using divine power, all of them were like ordinary people, sweating like rain in the sun.
That kind of enthusiasm for working together made Li Xiaogang forget his troubles and depression in his heart, as if a fish was swimming in the water and a wolf was galloping on the grassland, and he finally found his home.
"You ...... How did you guys get here? ”
At Li Xiaogang's house, Gao Yuanyuan's family and Liu Changhe arrived together.
Bai Yun greeted in a hurry.
Because Li Xiaogang's family is the largest, everyone chose to cook in his house, so at this time, Li's family was crowded with people, and it was extremely lively and busy.
Gao Yuanyuan anxiously searched everywhere, hoping to see that figure.
Mrs. Gao walked up to Bai Yun with a smile and said, "What, can't we come to see our good relatives?" (To be continued.) (lw0。 ))
