Chapter 72: Human Life
"Township Chief Qin, this road must be repaired, if it is not repaired, the people of our Niujiaoshan Village will be trapped here forever."
"yes, why are we so poor? It is because of this road that things from outside cannot come in, and what is grown cannot be sold. Last year, my family contracted a few acres of land from the next door, and there was a bumper harvest, but the grain could not be sold, because the car could not come in, and no one wanted to come to harvest it. ”
"The most important thing is safety, the baby has to walk this mountain road every day to go to school, and the grandson of the old Li family next door slid down the cliff on the way to school last year......
"There are also the founding army of Wang Erjia and the Dabao in the east of the village, both of whom fell to their deaths on bicycles. This road must be repaired, and if we don't build it, the people of our Niujiaoshan Village will never have a way to live, and sooner or later they will die in this mountain......"
“……”
Qin Feng sat there and listened to the village cadres and ordinary people spitting out their bitterness, and many people shed tears as they spoke, and they became more and more excited, the more Qin Feng listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more panicked his heart became.
Hearing that Qin Feng took a big gulp of cigarettes at the end, and one morning, he smoked out a pack of cigarettes.
When Qin Feng came out of Niujiaoshan Village, he was in a very heavy mood, and after getting off work in the afternoon, he rode a motorcycle to the street to buy a roast chicken, and went directly to Li Dejun's house with two catties of braised beef.
"Sister-in-law, it's time to fight the autumn breeze." Qin Feng smiled and said to Li Dejun's wife who opened the door.
"He guessed that you would come today, the wine is all poured, you wait a while, and the dish will be fried immediately." Li Dejun's wife said with a smile, she is a virtuous and virtuous woman.
Qin Feng walked to the table, and Li Dejun had already poured the wine and was waiting for Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was not polite, put the vegetables he bought, and drank the dishes fried by Li Dejun's wife without waiting for them.
"How did you know I was coming tonight?"
"I went to hail a taxi in the morning, and the office told me that you called a taxi to Niujiaoshan, and I guessed that you would definitely come to me for a drink in the evening." Li Dejun said with a smile.
"The people of Niujiaoshan Village are too bitter, I have been there many times before, but I have never cared too much about this road, but today I am shocked, Lao Li, I feel a little uncomfortable." Qin Feng and Li Dejun touched a cup and drank it in a big gulp.
Li Dejun didn't speak, sighed, and drank wine with Qin Feng.
"The main reason why the people of Niujiaoshan Village are so miserable is that this road is impassable. We can't build such a road for so many years, and we have been ignoring it, and if we can push it, we are all guilty. Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said.
"You want to build this road?" Li Dejun handed Qin Feng a cigarette.
"It's not that I want to, but I have to fix it." Qin Feng's words were categorical.
"Ten years ago, I had the same idea as you, and I came up with the plan to build a road in Niujiaoshan Village. But now I don't have that idea, because I'm desperate, brother, and you'll be as desperate as I am in the future. Li Dejun helped Qin Feng fill the wine glass.
"Why? Is it so hard to build a road? So many highways and sea-crossing bridges have been built, can't such a village road be built? Qin Feng was puzzled.
"It's really right for you to say, the cross-sea bridge is easy to repair, but the road in Niujiaoshan Village is difficult to repair."
"Why?"
"Money, just a word for money. Although the road is not long, it is a mountain road, and it is not possible to get down without 1.23 million, which is still the lowest standard, and it is the standard when I made the plan ten years ago. ”
"According to 1.2 million, who will pay for this money? Niujiaoshan Village is already poor like that, do they have the ability to raise funds to build roads? So this road can only be repaired at the expense of the government. ”
"You also know what kind of bird Bishan Township is, as long as there is a penny in the account, Wang Yunfei will immediately take him away, or try every possible way to get the money into his pocket."
"When the last team was there, because I proposed this, the township government agreed and prepared 300,000 yuan to be left for Niujiaoshan Village to build roads, but the first thing Wang Yunfei did after he came up was to use the 300,000 yuan to renovate the government dormitory, and the 300,000 yuan was used in less than a month. It's really a mother's ......," Li Dejun scolded.
Qin Feng frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you build this road during the last government?" What kind of bird Wang Yunfei is, Qin Feng knows too well.
"I want to repair, but I don't have the ability to repair. The township government has worked hard to scrape together 300,000 yuan, but can 300,000 yuan repair this road? The billets can't be repaired. The construction of the road mainly depends on the county transportation bureau, which has to be approved by the county transportation bureau, approved by the county government, and financed. It's easier said than done, but it's harder than it is to get to the sky. ”
"Shannan County is a poor county, there is not much money, and the rich county government has also invested in the economic development zone of Shannan County and several Chengguan towns, you look at the road over there, it is getting newer and wider every year."
"This can't be blamed on the leaders above, if you want to develop the economy, you want political achievements, you want GDP, you can only invest money in those places, if you invest money in places like Niujiaoshan Village, how much economic effect will it have? Do you have political achievements? ”
"But this is about human life, about the survival of the people, isn't it more important than political achievements?" Qin Feng disagreed with the rhetorical question.
"You think so, but it doesn't mean that the leaders above think the same way. Moreover, the leaders above sit too high, and it is not easy for us to see the people of Niujiaoshan Village, and they may not be able to see it. They also have their difficulties, and from the overall situation of the entire Shannan County, they are not doing anything wrong. Li Dejun said while drinking.
"Shannan County has so much financial revenue in total, and the money is not enough to invest in those places, how can there be money to use in these places? At the beginning, in order to repair the road, I squatted in the county for half a month, begging my grandfather to sue my grandmother, and finally offended the county leaders and didn't make a splash. This matter has been delayed, until finally the 300,000 yuan in the township was embezzled by Wang Yunfei, and I was completely dead. After Li Dejun finished speaking, he took another sip of stuffy wine.
"The road in Niujiaoshan Village is an unsolvable situation, you still don't touch it, if you insist on touching it, you will definitely end up with the same fate as me, the road is not repaired, but it is a commotion, the top offends the leader, the people blame it below, and the inside and outside are not people." Li Dejun was full of sadness when he said this.
"Wang Yunfei insisted on stuffing this matter on your head, and I didn't have a good heart." Li Dejun then said again.
Qin Feng didn't speak, and drank cup after cup with Li Dejun, and finally Qin Feng put down the wine glass and said to Li Dejun: "Old Li, I still want to give it a try, whether it is successful or not, at least I tried my best, and I am also at ease." ”
