Walking along the dirt road on the village to the Li family, Gu Sting gently knocked on the door of the Li family, and Gu Sting was welcomed in by Li Weiyan.

"Dad, the village chief is here."

Li Bangguo had already learned about the road construction from Li Weiye's mouth, and when he saw Gu Sting coming at this moment, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sting is here to build the road?" ”

Gu Sting nodded.

"Don't worry, if you need help, just say it, only we can help." Li Bangguo patted Gu Siting's shoulder and said.

Gu Sting didn't expect Li Bangguo to support his decision so much, and his heart was moved, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I just came here today to discuss with you how to repair this road?" ”

Li Bangguo smoked a dry cigarette, and the smoke was filled, covering his face, "You can fix it as you want, you can't just fix it just to save money, since you can fix it a little better, you don't need to fix it in the future." ”

Gu Sting said again and again, "That's the reason, I also mentioned this to my friend before, and the construction he gave was to build a cement road, use a little cement, and the road built can be walked for more than ten years." ”

Li Bangguo nodded, "Well, that's how it should be." ”

Li Weiye also agreed, but was worried that the funds were not enough, "But do we have enough money in the village now?" ”

Gu Siting smiled and said, "Boss Cao transferred the money to our passbook, so we still have some money in our hands now." ”

Li Weimao patted his thigh and said: "Since you have money, you can repair it, repair the road, and you don't have to worry about soiling your shoes and pants on rainy days." ”

Everyone said yes, bowed their heads and discussed, and finalized the matter of building the road.

On the second day, Gu Stin issued a notice.

"Notice, notice, please gather at the factory immediately, please gather at the factory immediately."

Everyone walked out of the house and asked curiously, "What's going on?" Something can't be a big deal, right? ”

"Bah, look at your crow's mouth, you don't hear the tone of the village chief's voice and are not in a hurry at all, how could it be that something happened, according to me, it should be a good thing."

Everyone talked about it and walked quickly to the factory.

The people on the village soon gathered at the side of the factory.

After a brief greeting, Gu Stin said the purpose of the gathering, "Folks, as the saying goes, 'if you want to get rich, you must first open the road', and calling everyone here today is to tell you something, we plan to build the avenue in the village into a cement road." ”

"What? Going to build a road? ”

"yes, why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"How much does it cost to build a concrete road?"

There are many opinions, but many more are skeptical.

"Everyone quietly, I know this is a bit shocking to everyone, but I got the news that the road from Pinghe County to Jiangchun Town will be built into a cement road next year at the latest, and this section of the road is repaired at the expense of the state, which belongs to the national highway, but the section of the road leading to the town in our village is not counted as a national highway, so the government will not pay to help us repair it, that is to say, the road to the town in our village must be repaired at our own expense, so this road is repaired now, and it will be repaired next year, in this case, Wouldn't it be better for us to build the road one step earlier than other villages? ”

Pinghe County is located in a remote mountainous area, Jiangchun Town is surrounded by mountains, and the roads are also turning around, and the state can pay for the road from the county seat to the town, which is a great joy for the people of Jiangchun Town.

The section of road leading to the avenue of each Zhuangzi is not very long, and as long as it is planned, it does not need to spend a lot of money.

The men figured this out, and nodded in unison in favor of Gu Siting's suggestion. The women don't have much knowledge, and when they see that their own masters are nodding, they will naturally nod their heads.

On the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is appropriate to get married and break ground.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zicheng took a string of firecrackers and lit it at the position of Zhuangkou.

Hearing the loud sound of firecrackers, the people of Fenghezhuang have to gather at the entrance of the village with hoes, dustpans and shovels.

The old rule of the farmer is that a feng shui master must be present to build a house and build a road. Mr. Feng Shui set the compass, if today's day is suitable for construction, it will start, and if it is not suitable, it will be another day.

Zhuangkou.

Gu Sting, Zhang Zicheng and Li Weiye brothers were following behind Mr. Feng Shui, listening carefully to the matters that need to be paid attention to when starting construction, and firmly remembering them.

"Alright, today's day is a good day to start work, you can start work." Mr. Feng Shui put away the compass and said to Gu Sting with a smile.

"Thank you, master. Wei Ye, you take the master to take a rest. Gu Sting gave Li Weiye a look, and Li Weiye led Mr. Feng Shui to Gu's house.

After Li Weiye entertained the feng shui master, he stuffed the red envelope prepared in advance into the hand of his husband.

Mr. Feng Shui took the red envelope and touched it casually, the smile on his face became brighter, "Mr. Li, you go and get busy, I'll just sit here." ”

Li Weiye also needed to be responsible for the construction of the road, and when he saw that Mr. said this, he instructed a few women to entertain Mr. and then went to work.

"How? Sir, are you still satisfied with the amount we gave? Seeing that Li Weiye was back, Gu Siting hurriedly asked Mr. Feng Shui if he was satisfied with the red envelope.

Li Weiye nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. is quite satisfied, although he didn't say it, but I see that he is smiling very happily." ”

"That's good, that's good. Let's get busy, the road will be repaired as soon as possible, and we will be at ease as soon as possible. ”

Gu Siting and others, as the main responsible persons of the village committee, did not carry out special policies, and all of them joined the road construction brigade with tools in hand.

The road of Fenghezhuang is a small road, potholes, fine on sunny days, but when it rains, there is water everywhere, and the road is also muddy, which is very difficult to walk.

"Zicheng, you take a group of people from the river to pick up some fine sand and come back to fill in the potholes on the road." Gu Sting said to Zhang Zicheng.

"Ah, okay!" Zhang Zicheng ordered a few people and went to the river with a dustpan and a hoe.

Gu Sting turned to Li Weimao again and said, "Weimao, you take a few people to clean up the weeds on the road." ”

"Great!" When Li Weimao heard this, he also nodded a few people to do it.

After dividing everyone into jobs, Gu Sting went to the town on a young man's motorcycle, ready to take the car to the county seat to buy cement.

The people of Fenghezhuang perform their own duties, and open roads and cultivate roads in a hurry.

In order to prevent everyone from suffering from heat stroke, Gu Sting asked the old people in the village to cook herbal tea at home, and after it cooled, it was sent to the road to quench the thirst and heat of the people who worked.

The old man on the village was annoyed that he couldn't contribute, and when he heard Gu Sting say this, they all actively took out their own herbal tea herbs and were busy making herbal tea in the kitchen.

The sun slowly rose to the center of the sky, and Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and directly instructed the old people in the village to start making lunch for everyone.

"Li Hui,, I still want the Sting family, you two will go and steam rice." Aunt Wang Liujiao pointed to Li Hui's mother and Gu Siting's wife and said.

The two responded in unison, picked up the tools for steaming rice and walked into the river. There are many people, and the steamer for steaming rice is a big pot of rice, two people hold the steamer, and one person carries the rice, and goes to the river to wash the rice and wash the steamer.

"Sister of the Li family, your family will fry two or three dishes, and the rest of the families will also fry a few dishes each." Aunt Wang unequivocally commanded everyone to get busy.

Except for Li Yuedi and Lin Zixi, everyone else in the Li family went to help on the road.

"Xiaoxi goes, let's go home and cook." Li Yuedi pulled Lin Zixi, and the mother-in-law and grandson went home together to prepare stir-fry.

Li Yuedi went to the vegetable garden with a vegetable basket and picked a lot of fresh vegetables.

Looking at the ingredients on the board, Li Yuedi couldn't help but ask Lin Zixi, "Xiaoxi, which dishes do you say we should make?" ”

Lin Zixi pondered for a while like a little adult and said, "Grandma, why don't we make a big pot of mung bean syrup, my sister also soaked a pot of mung beans last night." ”

"Really? I don't know, let's go and see if the mung beans are ready. Li Yuedi came to Lin Zichen's place to soak mung beans, and saw that the mung beans had already been soaked, so she prepared to make a pot of mung bean syrup according to Lin Zixi's suggestion.

It's still early, and after the mung bean sugar water is boiled, you can put it in the well to ice it.

Li Yuedi plans to make another cold dish that Lin Zichen taught her, which is sour and refreshing, and the most appetizing.

The mother-in-law and grandson were busy around the stove, and in the end they made cold dishes, cold vegetables, cold noodles, and mung bean syrup, all of which were suitable for eating on this hot day.

"Xiaoxi, go and bring the flat pole." Li Yuedi brought the iced mung bean sugar water up from the well.

"Eh, here we are." Lin Zixi ran and took the flat pole placed behind the door to Li Yuedi.

Li Yuedi hung the wooden bucket containing mung bean syrup on one end of the flat shoulder, and hung the basket containing cold vegetables and cold noodles on the other end, and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall with it.

Aunt Wang Liu, who was directing everyone to put the dishes, chopsticks and dishes on the table in the ancestral hall, saw Li Yuedi coming with a flat burden, and hurriedly urged a few women with great strength to go up and take it.

Everyone lifted the lid of the barrel, and suddenly a cold smell of sugar water wafted out.

"Ouch, it's still mung bean syrup, you know it's delicious as soon as you smell it." A woman said with a smile.

"yes, huh? What's in this basket? Another woman asked.

Li Yuedi said with a smile: "Oh, this is a cold salad, that is, cut cucumbers or something, add seasonings and mix them, this cold noodles are similar, the weather is hot, people have no appetite to eat, these are the most suitable to eat." ”

No wonder the other women were surprised, no one else in this Pinghe County knew that the dish could do this.

Just looking at the cold vegetables and cold noodles in the basket, everyone couldn't help but drool.

Aunt Wang Liu's first time seeing such food, it was not too early to see it, and urged everyone to hurry up and put the food on the table.

Zhang Zicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the scorching sun in the sky, and said to everyone: "Everyone stop, it's noon, everyone go back to eat first, rest well, and then continue to work in the afternoon." ”

When the men heard this, they picked up the tools in their hands and went to the river, sweaty, or went to the river to wash and refresh.

The women also went home to make lunch, and as soon as they put down their tools, the children came to inform them that they could go to the ancestral hall for lunch.

The women, who had been tired all morning, suddenly heard that they didn't need to cook, and that was not a cool feeling.

They each went home and changed into dry clothes, and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

"Come on, come on, drink a bowl of sugar water first to get rid of the heat."

As soon as you step into the door of the ancestral hall, an elderly woman serves everyone a bowl of cold mung bean syrup.

Smelling the sweetness of the sugar water, the hunger in the stomach was finally drawn out, and everyone found a place to sit down and prepare to start.

The men also rubbed their way to the ancestral hall, and after smelling the smell of sugar water, they all took the bowl and served it first.

Li Yuedi's cold dishes are very popular, and almost everyone's first chopsticks are either cold dishes or cold noodles.

"Oh, Wei Ye, Wei Mao, you guys are so oral, it's so delicious to eat this on a hot day." Zhang Zicheng was envious of the two Li Weiye brothers while picking cold noodles in his mouth.

"Isn't it, this noodle tastes so refreshing!" Others chimed in.

Although some of the women present were a little dissatisfied with their men's behavior of disliking their cooking skills in public, they had to admit the deliciousness of cold noodles and cold dishes, and they all made up their minds to learn from Li Yuedi how to make this cold dish.

The people who ate the lunch were full of oil and went home with burps, and the elderly women happily cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, thinking that they would cook something delicious for the others in the evening.

Although these old people didn't say anything, they seemed to compare each other's cooking skills in their hearts, so they naturally tried their best and were not to be outdone. R1152
