After dinner, the old village chief gathered everyone again. During this time, everyone came relatively early, unlike before, when they came out after a long time, they vaguely guessed that there was something good again, so their actions were relatively quick.

"Good! Everyone is here, so I'll just say it! This time, I called everyone over, mainly to discuss one thing. Our road has not been repaired for a long time, and there are potholes everywhere, so there is no big problem for people to walk. The key is that there may be more and more cars entering the village in the future, not to mention the image of our village, the traffic is still extremely inconvenient, which is related to the future development plan of our Chujiazhai. Therefore, everyone discussed the time and when to overhaul it. The old village chief said straight to the point.

At this time, the people below are buzzing.

"Village chief, are you going to scrape together money again!" Whether to repair the road or not is not a big problem for them, the key is the problem of pooling money, every time the village chief has a meeting, everyone is the most taboo is this topic.

As soon as this question came up, everyone's reaction became even stronger.

The old village chief pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "It's certain to make money, everyone has earned a lot this year, it's not too much to take out a few dozen yuan, right?" ”

Everyone understands what the old village chief means, and the money should be to prepare to pull some stone powder back to fill the road. Stone powder is a good material, pour it on the road, and then compact it on it. The road surface will be smooth and firm, and although heavy rain will wash away the surface, it is much better than sand. Moreover, there is too much sand on the road, and the car is easy to slip, so everyone usually walks without feeling.

The old village chief had this plan for a long time, but everyone was reluctant to pay for it before, so it was shelved. When there was a village-to-village connection, the old village chief didn't expect the cement road to lead to Chujiazhai, but he still hoped for a decent road.

Stone powder is not expensive, if you go to a stone field not far away, you only need 20 yuan for a cart. The stone powder in the stone quarry is useless at all, especially in the remote mountainous areas, the city is still very useful, but it is too far, the freight is too expensive, it is not cost-effective, and few people buy stone powder. Therefore, almost all the stone powder in the stone quarry is free, and people only charge a labor fee for loading. And they don't make money on stone powder, but on more high-grade stone slag.

If it was before, everyone would definitely not agree with it, at most, everyone would make more efforts, go to the river to get some sand and gravel, and fill in the road. But the words of the old village chief also said to their hearts, this year, everyone has generally increased their income by tens of thousands, and dozens of yuan is not too much, just eat two or three meals of meat.

"Since the village chief and uncle said so, I am not hypocritical, this time I will pay a hundred." A shrewd guy immediately shouted.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, this guy knew that the shell had earned more than 4,000 yuan some time ago, and this time he fished more than 10,000 yuan of gastrodia, adding up to almost 20,000, of course it is not hypocritical!

The others have promised to give as much as they want, and all the village chiefs are in charge. And Chu Shengmin even took out a big sum of five hundred yuan, and really showed a big face. Because Chu Shengyi has a car, this road has the greatest effect on him, and he also took out a thousand yuan, but everyone took it for granted.

As a result, the old village chief also predicted it, and he was not surprised: "Okay! It's good for everyone to agree, tomorrow every household will collect money, and then you won't have any arrears with me. Well? Jiaqiang, don't you contribute a little out? As he spoke, the old village chief suddenly realized that a large sum of money was missing.

Suddenly, everyone looked at the richest man in the village, and secretly said that this kid didn't take some out, it was really unreasonable.

Chu Jiaqiang also knew that he had to take the lead, and doing a good job of the road was the last word, instead of shouting the slogan "If you want to get rich, build the road first!" "What? He nodded at the village chief: "Good! Since we are going to build roads, let's fix them a little better. I'll pay 10,000 personally! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet and terrible. The villagers' eyes widened and they were secretly speechless. The corners of Chu Shengmin's mouth twitched, this kid is still so big-hearted, it's really unbearable. And the old village chief reacted the fastest and immediately took the lead in applauding.

The old village chief was overjoyed and immediately said, "Good! I will remember this merit first, and when the road is completed, I will ask people to set up a road monument at the entrance of the village to record your merit. ”

Everyone is both distressed and envious, 10,000 yuan! This is a large amount of money, and I couldn't save the field after a year of hard work, so I opened my mouth and foamed at the mouth. But it was a great honor to erect a road monument, which made them envious.

The old village chief calculated in his heart that he could only receive a few thousand yuan at the beginning, although the stone powder was not expensive, but the relatively three or four kilometers long road was a drop in the bucket. He planned to lay stone powder on the extremely poor road sections, which should be enough. But with Chu Jiaqiang's 10,000 yuan, the situation is very different, although it may still be insufficient.

"The problem of stone powder is not difficult to solve, if it is not enough, I can make up for it when the time comes. But it's not like everything is fine with stone powder. The main thing is to find a way to compact it, which is a bit difficult to do. At the same time, it is also very important to do a good job in drainage and irrigation measures, otherwise it will be a waste of water to pull more stone powder to pave it. Chu Jiaqiang analyzed.

Hearing this, the old village chief was even more relieved. His biggest concern is that there are not enough resources, and the labor force can be pulled from the village, and each family can pull one or two strong men. I also know where to find the stone that rolls the road, and when the time comes, let my son use the car to pull the big stone back and forth a few times, and he can be as plain as he wants. He had already considered the drainage and irrigation measures, and when the time came, he would just dig the drainage canal of the road deeper.

Chu Shengyi nodded: "Drainage and irrigation really have to be done well, otherwise the whole road will definitely become a river again if it rains heavily, and the damage to the road surface will be too great." ”

"When the time comes, the canal will be dug deeper." At this time, a man said.

The fifth uncle knocked on the cigarette stick: "No matter how deep the canal is dug, it is useless, such a long road, let alone heavy rain, even moderate rain will not be able to disappear." "He's in the business of architecture, that's for sure, and no one here has a better say than him.

Chu Jiaqiang immediately thought of the drainage and irrigation measures in the city, and set up a sewer pipe at certain distances to let the rainwater drain out in time.

"You can imitate the city inside, and every other section of the road, a drainage pipe is placed to drain the rainwater from the side of the mountain horizontally to the bottom of the road."

"The solution is good, but who pays for the drain? Now plastic pipes are so expensive, it's unrealistic. The fifth uncle immediately rejected Chu Jiaqiang's proposal.

Chu Jiaqiang smiled and said, "Who told you to buy plastic pipes?" Aren't there a lot of big spear bamboos on our bamboo mountain? It's much better than a plastic pipe, but it's a little more troublesome, and you have to poke the bamboo in the middle when you cut it down. ”

When everyone heard this, everyone's eyes lit up, didn't they? Ready-made materials.

"Haha! It's still Jia Qiang's flexible brain, so let's just say it. The day after tomorrow, each family took out a manual and went to the bamboo mountain to cut the old bamboo. The old village chief hammered it down.
