Chapter 12 Road Construction
At the end of the day, the truck in charge of pulling concrete had a problem and got stuck on the road in the back mountain.
This road is the only major road into the village, and if you want to drive into the village, you can only take this road, unless you park on the opposite mountain road and take the side road.
However, it is obviously unrealistic at this time, including the vehicles specially transported by Li Yang in the future, they must also go here.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and started to help.
First, the concrete on the car was poured on the spot, and then everyone worked together to push the car out.
In the evening, Li Yang thought for a long time, and was ruthless, so he simply repaired the road into the village in the back mountain.
However, it is certainly not realistic to build a concrete road, so it can only be paved with stones below and gravel on top.
Li Yang pulled Liu Gang to discuss early the next morning.
For Li Yang's idea, Liu Gang was really stunned for a long time.
"What you said is true, don't you want a penny from the village?" Liu Gang said with wide eyes.
"You don't have to pay a penny in the village, but you will pay all the labor, and I will pay for the equipment and funds," Li Yang said with certainty.
"Okay, there is no money, we can still afford dozens of laborers", Liu Gang patted his chest and assured.
"Good boy, in Lishu Village in the future, if anyone dares to trouble you, see if I don't peel his skin", Liu Gang was a little happy that he couldn't find the north, such a good thing was really the first time he had encountered it.
Li Yang was not on a whim, it was indeed after detailed consideration.
The first reason is that if the vegetable garden is produced in large quantities in the future, there will definitely be more vehicles coming and going, and if the road is not built, transportation will be a big problem.
Second, he felt that he was half of the people of Lishu Village, no matter what, this village carried at least half of his childhood memories, as well as that special memory, in his heart, he was willing to pay this money, and even if he wanted the village to pay, it was impossible, it was not ten yuan or twenty.
The third reason is to buy an amulet for himself, Liu Gang's words are right, after doing this, in this Lishu Village in the future, if anyone dares to embarrass him, it will be difficult to get along with the whole village.
With these three reasons, Li Yang felt that spending 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan to build a road for the village was nothing.
On the second day, the convenient roads in the vegetable garden were laid, and on the third day, the dam was ready to be renovated.
After everyone left, Li Yang told his parents and uncle about the road construction.
To Li Yang's surprise, his mother agreed very much with this matter, and his father was still like that, only responsible for helping, and he didn't say that he agreed or opposed it, anyway, this matter was settled.
At seven o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, Li Yang and the eldest uncle sat at the front of the dam, the eldest uncle took out the cigarette holder, and Li Yang rolled the cigarette for him.
"In my memory, it seems that I have never rolled a cigarette for my grandfather like this," Li Yang said.
"Your grandfather has been a teacher all his life, he doesn't smoke, he drinks a little wine, he is not blessed, if he can live a few more years, he can also enjoy your blessings," said the uncle.
"How many years has Uncle known about this dam?" Li Yang asked.
The eldest uncle glanced at the dam with some remorse, although it was dilapidated, although it was seriously tilted.
"It's been 82 years, it's been 28 years," said the uncle.
"Yes, after so many years, it won't exist tomorrow", Li Yang also sighed.
After a moment of silence, the uncle took the cigarette, pinched it with both hands, then stuffed it into the cigarette holder, lit it with that old-fashioned lighter, took a few puffs, and spit out a puff of white smoke.
"Yangyang, have you thought about it, is it worth it?" the uncle suddenly asked.
"You mean building roads? It's not worth it, I think even if I wasn't in this place, maybe I would do it, it depends on whether I have confidence in what I'm doing," Li Yang laughs.
Until now, Li Yang himself feels as if he is working hard, not only in his usual practice, but also in spending money.
Of course, he also wants to be okay every day, leading a Chinese pastoral dog, going out to walk the dog, admiring flowers or something, or occasionally flirting with beautiful women.
But he knows that he doesn't have that capital, he is already twenty-six years old, and he will be twenty-seven at the end of the year, say hurry, he is almost thirty years old, and he has achieved nothing, what will others think, what will his family think, and his parents still owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in their hands, and their pressure is not less than their own, so what reason is there to be so leisurely.
Therefore, this time he lost almost all his capital, only succeeded, not failed, and he would not let himself fail.
"Well, I believe that you kid can do it, although your uncle is old, but his body is still quite strong, and he can help you, he can't do heavy work, but he can still do chores and cooking", the uncle said.
"Uncle Zicheng, what about them, haven't they come back?" Li Yang asked, Liu Zicheng is the son of his uncle, and Li Yang has no impression.
"They have their own business, the old man has his own life, only everything is fine", the uncle looked into the distance, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
On the third day, a total of three truckloads of concrete renovated the entire dam, and the previously inclined place was supported by wooden stakes on the outside, and a simple frame built under pine wood was inserted into six or seven steel bars, which was considered stable.
To protect against sun exposure, a film is placed on top.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a small excavator was transported to the back road and began to work.
Almost the whole village came out to see the excitement.
The village road extending from the road up the mountain, the total length is about 500 meters, there are high and low, and it is not smooth, the excavator spent a day and a half to dig the high place flat, and the place where the curve is larger is directly straightened.
As for the loss of land, Liu Gang gave a word, all of which will be compensated by the government's land, and in Lishu Village, there is not much else, but there is more land.
The whole road is basically visible at a glance at the end, and then the stones start to be transported up below.
Some large pieces of gravel and whole stones, all pulled up to make the foundation.
Under Liu Gang's call, the men, women and children of the whole village basically went out, with their own hoes and steel drills.
It was also the first time for Li Yang to see that there could still be so many people in Lishu Village, almost more than forty people, almost all along the road.
With the joint efforts of so many people, it took almost only three days to repair the entire road.
The car responsible for pulling the gravel ran more than ten times a day, and the driver didn't have time to eat lunch, so you can see how powerful the masses are.
However, the fly in the ointment is that there is no way to press the gravel, and in this place, the road roller really can't come, so I can only give up.
From the beginning of repairing the convenient road in the vegetable garden to the final repair of the village road, it took a total of eight days, and Li Yang paid 60,000 yuan.
60,000 yuan, Li Yang personally settled the account with his father, which almost emptied all the money in his card at once.
After handing over 60,000 yuan to his father, Li Yang still had 5,000 yuan left in his hand.
In fact, Li Yang still has to thank his father, if it weren't for him, it is estimated that he would have spent an extra 20,000 yuan on these things, which is definitely not an exaggeration.
"No money, right?" Father Li took 60,000 yuan, smashed it in his hand, and squinted at Li Yang.
"It's almost, the living expenses are still kept", Li Yang nodded helplessly.
"So that you know that if you want to start a business and make a career, it's not that simple," Li's father said, took out 10,000 yuan in cash and stuffed it into Li Yang's hand.
