Chapter 123: A Pure and Simple Man
In the past 15 days, Xing Yi has basically surveyed all the villages and valleys around the reservoir area.
On this day, he came to the site of the old stone bridge in front of Xiaohewan Village.
The old stone bridge is gone, and the half-dilapidated piers on this and that side of the river bank are like two lions lying on both banks, dying, looking at each other across the river.
People came from both ends of the river with a fiber rope and a wooden boat collected by the people, which could carry more than a dozen people at a time, and ferries back and forth between the two banks.
Xing Yi's mind kept coming back to the scene of the previous stone bridge.
The history of the stone bridge is not short, it has been a hundred years since now, and in the past, people picked horses and walked on the bridge deck, which was more than enough.
Although the bridge railing is firm and the carved pattern is antique, it has been peeled off several layers after a long time, and the lime mortar in the seams has also fallen off.
The bridge is gone, but the stone monument that recorded the construction of the bridge is still standing there.
The stele is located higher.
Engraved on the stele of the character of Li, it is said that a county magistrate in the early years, for the local people to do a lot of good things, the bridge is he before he left to lead and mobilize the squire to raise funds to build, just repaired not long after, people were transferred.
The common people miss the good things he did, select the good bluestone, polish and carve it, stand on the bridge, and engrave three words on it: go to the monument
It is rare that people are still remembered like this after they leave. And when he is in power, he is arrogant, does not do practical things, fills his own pockets, makes people hug each other, and no one mentions it again after leaving, which is sad.
In the previous life, the flood washed away the bridge, and the stone monument also fell into the water, and was washed down more than 100 meters, that is, found in the water near the washed away house.
And the stele pedestal is very strange, taken by a large family in the city to ignore the culture carried on the stele pedestal, only like the pattern carved on three sides, some chic, pleasing to the eye, it is placed under the bonsai, as the foot of the bonsai, stay.
Xing Yi thought that when the construction started, he should mobilize forces to fish up the stele, find a safe place to place it first, and let it continue to stand at the head of the bridge after it is rebuilt.
If someone thinks it is inappropriate, then send it to the cultural relics museum, after all, the items from more than 100 years ago, the engraved words, and the content are very meaningful for the enlightenment of future generations.
In less than half a year, the new bridge will be rebuilt.
The reconstruction of the stone bridge, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with him, and he just thought about the stele and the stele in his heart, and the words on the stele can still be remembered, after all, it can be regarded as a piece of local literature and history, a rare cultural relic. Paying attention to its whereabouts, doing everything in its power to keep it intact and preserved, as a native of the country, is completely deserved.
A gust of wind blew in his face, and half a newspaper flew from nowhere, directly in his face, and when he took down the newspaper, he accidentally saw a row of bold letters: "Wanhe Bridge Design Proposal Solicitation Notice." ”
Xing Yi carefully looked at the date in the newspaper and saw that there were five days left before the deadline, and he didn't know how many more proposals had been collected.
In my memory, the Wanhe Bridge was handed over to a construction unit in another county, but the construction was stopped for some reason halfway, and the original unit was withdrawn, and the drawings were taken away at the same time.
After two months of delay, the county invited Sun Guoxi to a one-day meeting, came back, and announced internally that he would take over the construction of the Wanhe Bridge project, which was actually a mess, and Hongda Company almost exhausted its financial and material resources to complete the task.
I didn't see the solicitation notice in my previous life, is there such a thing Xing Yi didn't understand, he hadn't seen the notice notice, and no one told him about it, but not knowing it doesn't mean that there is none.
Now, half of the newspaper that pounced on his face informed him in this way.
There was a nervous twitch in his brain, kneading and squeezing a few times, and a concept popped up, and this change may have been made for him.
The moment the stone bridge collapsed by the water, I was in the nearby village of Xiaohewan, and when I remembered the situation at that time, the roar of the stone bridge collapse would echo in my ears.
A lot of time has passed, and he has long been looking forward to the reconstruction of the bridge, and it would be great to be able to contribute a little to the reconstruction of the Yuhe Bridge, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity, after all, he was no stranger to this line.
The night in Xiaohewan Village is destined to become a lifelong memory, and the construction of Yin Tianshun's new house has never been able to let go.
The pace followed the mind to the village of Xiaohewan, which is now very quiet, the river flows slowly, the color is no longer so muddy, and the wings of birds are gently skimming over the water.
Listening to the instructions of the villagers, he came to the homestead assigned to Yin Tianshun in the village, and there was a lot of sand, wood and bricks in front of him, but no one started construction.
Yin Tianshun's family is still temporarily living in the warehouse vacated by the village committee.
Team Leader Tian was called from the back mountain and met with him.
Xing Yi asked: "Why is Yin Tianshun's house still not moving?" It's been so much time. ”
Team leader Tian said: "We have to wait for the autumn grain to enter the house, and the construction will start after the wheat is planted. ”
The countryside pays attention to the season, and when the way to live is basically gone, everyone is idle, and that is the time to build and repair houses.
Xing Yi participated in the construction of a house in the factory, and as the saying goes, stones are afraid of going to the house, and it looks like there are a lot of building materials, but when it comes to going up, it is not enough at all.
Team Leader Tian saw his worries, and raised his fingers to settle the account, the above subsidy plus everyone's funding, tailor-made, as big as you can, don't force it.
"How much is the subsidy from above?"
"Forty thousand."
This will be put in the next ten years, maybe there will be more money on it, and the situation is not very good now, which is about the same. It is also necessary to advocate self-reliance and hard work.
Yin Tianshun also came down from the mountain, and after talking, Xing Yi could hear that he was a little reluctant, only with the current materials, the scale of construction could not catch up with the collapsed house.
Xing Yi said to Yin Tianshun: "Building a house is a hundred-year plan, your family of four, your son will live alone when he grows up, and the breeding circle should also be there, not too small, it must meet the needs, in this way, I will be responsible for the cement and steel bars for building a new house." ”
Team Leader Tian looked at him in a daze, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Until he said it again, Team Leader Tian's eyes lit up and said, "I have lived all my life, and it is the first time I have heard an outsider say such things." ”
Team Leader Tian pushed Yin Tianshun: "Don't you hurry up and say thank you, stand there in a daze, haven't you heard clearly, there is no problem with your plan." ”
Yin Tianshun muttered: "I don't want to be big, I just want to return to the original state." ”
Xing Yi said: "It's no problem to be a little bigger than the original, I promised to help you, and I will definitely do it." ”
Several people gathered, and when they learned about it, they talked about it.
"Yin Tianshun is going to wake up laughing in his dream this time."
"I've met a nobleman."
"Good people are rewarded."
"Brother Tianshun, go get a bottle of wine."
