Today, Meixi Village began to pave a small square, Zhu Fulai, the head of Xiufeng Village, a brother village, led more than a dozen young and middle-aged men to help, they were all strong, agile, and full of energy, from 8 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the evening, the paving work of the small square was completed.
Early the next morning, the villagers ran to the neem tree one after another to look at the small square that had been laid out last night.
In the sunlight, the concrete of the small square is inlaid with colorful pebbles.
While everyone watched and talked and laughed, they thanked the village for making this wise decision, and at the same time, they were also very pleased that they had made a modest contribution to the tourism cause of the village.
Someone said: "We can have such a beautiful colorful small square, thanks to the village chief Zhu of Xiufeng Village, it is he who led the brothers of Xiufeng Village to help, the small square can continue to operate, and it will have such a smooth and smooth effect now!" ”
Someone said: "Our village is not manpowered, Village Chief Zhu and Village Chief Niu are good friends, how can he stand by and not come to help!" ”
Someone said: "Actually, Village Chief Niu and Village Chief Zhu are not only good friends, you don't know, this Village Chief Zhu is also the future son-in-law of our Meixi Village, and the most important thing is that the power of love plays a role, so that Village Chief Zhu does his best to help each other!" ”
Someone asked, "The power of love?" Who did Village Chief Zhu fall in love with in our village? ”
Someone replied: "Zhou Yafang!" ”
There was an uproar in the crowd, and they began to talk about the love between Zhou Yafang and Village Chief Zhu. Although Zhou Yafang and Huang Fengchun divorced, they already regarded her as the daughter of Meixi Village in everyone's hearts.
The village cadres began to set up stone tables and stone benches around the small square inlaid with pebbles, build flower ponds and make meritorious monuments, and the onlookers who worked talked and laughed every day, and it was very lively.
Some people proposed that the inscriptions and names of Huang Da Niu and Hua Qiangqiang should be engraved on the merit monument, so that future generations would know that the construction of Meixi Village was their credit, but Huang Da Niu and Hua Qiangqiang disagreed.
Huang Daniu joked: "I don't know if you have seen it on TV, but I have seen that when many leaders are in office, in order to show their calligraphy style, they want their own celebrities to be famous for centuries, and they leave inscriptions everywhere." Later, he made a mistake, and his inscription became an eye-catching mark, leaving a lot of trouble for future generations, all said not to set up a biography when he was born, I think this monument should not be on as well, and it can't be erased when it is engraved! ”
A villager said with a smile: "It turns out that the village chief Niu is afraid of making a mistake, so he can't delete the engraved name?" Then you just don't make mistakes! ”
Huang Da Niu laughed "hahaha", and then said, "This is a good idea!" It's a pity that I'm afraid that I can't do it, and I say that people are not saints and sages, who can be without fault? I'm a big rough person, maybe I made a mistake if I was cold, but it's better not to engrave the inscription! ”
"Hahaha......" everyone let out another burst of laughter.
Hua Qiangqiang said earnestly: "I really want to only do good deeds and not make mistakes for the rest of my life, if I say that I have engraved an inscription on the merit list and left my name, which can restrain me from making mistakes in the future, it is naturally a great thing, but we have done what we should do, and we don't need to show off ourselves so much." ”
Everyone looked at Hua Qiangqiang and Niu Village Chief with admiration.
Some villagers said sincerely: "Secretary Qiangqiang and Da Niu Village Chief, to put it mildly, if you don't engrave an inscription on the merit list and leave your name, our hearts have long engraved your name and deeds in our hearts, and they will never be erased!" ”
Huang Daniu and Hua Qiangqiang were moved and said, "That's enough!" ”
The laughter under the neem tree continues.
A young man said, "Neem tree, neem tree, this tree is not very good, cut it down and plant it for other trees." ”
The big cow mother said, "What is the sin of the neem tree, to cut it down?" I disagree! You see how good this tree grows, it has witnessed a lot of things happening here, and it has also sheltered us from the wind, so we can't cut it down and leave it as a souvenir, we are going to live a good life, we don't forget the hard days of the past, just like don't forget the neem tree! ”
An old man said: "Da Niu Ma said it is so good, there is no bitterness, where does it come from sweetness!" Besides, the neem tree only has a bitter character in its name, but it always brings us benefits, such as giving us cool and allowing birds to perch. ”
Everyone nodded their heads to indicate that the old men were right.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you said it so well, it's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years! Grandma must have a lot of stories under the neem tree in her belly, and I will come here to listen to Grandma tell us future generations when I have time, okay? Said the offspring who was going to cut down the tree.
"Ouch, Brother Housheng, you have lifted up my old woman! I have no culture, but I know the truth of gratitude, we should not only be grateful to the people who have helped us, but also grateful to God for creating such a beautiful environment for us! Da Niu's mother paused and said, "It's no problem to listen to the story, I come here every day to sit and wait for you to come!" ”
"Hahaha......" was another burst of laughter.
Da Niu's mother couldn't help but be a little emotional, and continued to gush: "Now that we are engaged in tourism in Meixi Village, not only can we not dig and destroy the original environment, but also the names of the species left over thousands of years cannot be changed, and they are still the most true, pure and beautiful in the original!" Just like the neem tree is the neem tree, you can't call her a sweet neem tree, originally her fruits, leaves, and roots are all bitter, so it's called the neem tree, and no good name can replace her, which is called protection...... Protection...... Protecting the original ......"
The old man couldn't stop talking.
Everyone was also whispering and thinking, trying to do a favor to the big cow mother and say the correct word.
At this time, Huang Daniu, who was inspecting the work on the side, spoke: "Mom, it's not to protect the original, it's to protect the ecology!" ”
"Yes, yes, protecting the ecology, in fact, it means the original!" Da Niu Ma said stubbornly.
"Hahaha......" the group laughed again.
Huang Da Niu said: "Mom, let me talk to everyone!" ”
Da Niu's mother pushed the words to her son as if she was relieved: "You said that you said that you came, you are the village chief, not who said it?" Let's talk about it! ”
"Hahaha......" the group laughed again.
Huang Da Niu said seriously: "Actually, not only can't you cut down neem trees, but you can't cut down any tree on the mountain in the village, you must protect them." You say that people in the city come to us for tourism and vacation, and it is rare for us to have anything here, isn't it just the mountains here, the water here, the grass and trees here, and the green water and green mountains are the gold and silver mountains! How can a bare mountain look good without trees? We must use forests to create landscapes, promote tourism with scenery, and make money with tourism. We run a tourist village to make everyone rich, but also to prosper the rural culture, to cultivate a new type of farmers, to do this, we must not only get rid of the bad habits in life, but also to get rid of the bad habits in the mind, such as not spitting and throwing garbage, not speaking foul language, not smoking in public, etc., to learn more, so as to improve their own cultivation and quality, so that some good lifestyles rise to the level of art, and the way of labor rises to traditional culture, such as using cattle to plow, singing mountain songs, Drinking tea, drinking, waiting......"
The scene was silent, everyone seemed to be listening to the teacher's lecture as if a primary school student, listening attentively to the Huang Daniu village chief said happily, everyone sometimes thought, sometimes smiled, sometimes nodded, sometimes applauded, and the neem tree became a sea of joy.
