Hu Mingchen stood on the bridge, the canyon was forested, there was no fixed water, and the mountains on both sides were also bleak, and this cold environment stimulated Hu Mingchen's emotions even more.

At the beginning, if the people of Huangni Village wanted to leave the village, they had to pass through this canyon stream, and Hu Mingchen himself had experienced it countless times. Even, not long ago, because of the rising water, Hu Mingchen almost fell in this stream.

Now, Gangou, a stream that usually does not have much water, finally has a bridge, and the villagers are finally no longer worried about being afraid, and they can walk on a stable bridge wherever they want.

Although this bridge is weak and small, it is far inferior to Chairman Mao's use of "a bridge to fly north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare." The Yangtze River Bridge is described, but for the people of Huangni Village, this is the bridge of life, and this is the bridge of people's livelihood that changes from the moat to the road.

"Xiao Chen, what, it's the first time you cross this bridge, it's very touching, right?" Hu Jianqiang lit a cigarette and accompanied Hu Mingchen to stand on the bridge and look at the canyon road.

"Of course, I am very touched, how many years have we been looking forward to such a bridge. Now not only people can walk, but even cars can pass, if a few years ago, it would be unimaginable. Hu Mingchen said with emotion.

"It's not all up to you, if it weren't for you, this bridge wouldn't have been repaired, tens of thousands of yuan, the village can't take it out at all, and the township can't take it out. In order to open to traffic before the Chinese New Year, everyone is not afraid of hardship and tiredness. The villagers are motivated, but unfortunately they didn't have money before, buy cement, buy steel bars, buy *, buy sand and gravel, if you don't pay for it, these things will not be there. Hu Jianqiang spat out the flue.

"Don't just say that I, you, the village director, have the same contributions, all of this has been done under your organization and operation, and of course, the efforts of the villagers. ”

"Since I became the village director, those are all duties, and the villagers don't think it's great to take the initiative to participate, but they think that your family has paid for it, if they don't make a good effort, they will have no face when they walk this bridge in the future, hehe, and even after the bridge is repaired, some people suggest that you build a merit monument to your family." That's why I called you and asked what you meant, and you vetoed it. ”

"What kind of merit monument is a tree, it doesn't make much sense to spend more money. The real word of mouth is in people's hearts, not on a stone tablet. I am willing to spend some money to help build roads, for everyone, but also for ourselves, I have never thought about who I want to be virtuous, behave and do things, all according to my conscience, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. Hu Mingchen said.

At that time, many people did suggest that Hu Jianqiang should set up a merit monument to commend him, so Hu Jianqiang called Hu Mingchen, and when Mingchen heard this meaning, he refused without thinking about it.

"That is, you can figure it out, I'm afraid that if you change someone else, I'm afraid that no one will take the initiative to do it. Why, do you still want to see it? The whole family is waiting for you to go back. Hu Jianqiang shook his head and said.

"Ah, let's go, go home. Hu Mingchen sighed, turned around and pulled the car door and sat in the car.

Hu Jianqiang followed the car and drove back, from the side of the bridge to the village, there is a long section, almost nearly two kilometers without people, and this section, due to the steep mountains and thin soil, there are almost no people.

After entering the village, the deserted and withered situation became gone, there was little smoke in every house, children frolicking in front of and behind the house, and even sporadic firecrackers could be heard.

When they hear the sound of cars, both adults and children will run to their doorstep to take a look. Seeing that it was Hu Jianqiang's car, the adults would greet him warmly, and even leave him for dinner.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Hu Jianqiang naturally could not eat at someone else's house, not to mention Hu Mingchen, who had not returned home for several months in the car. However, the warm greetings of the villagers reflect Hu Jianqiang's image and status in everyone's minds.

The construction of the road through the village has really made Hu Jianqiang a hero in the village and a figure who chats after tea and dinner.

The former village director, Wu Luhui, has been completely compared to Hu Jianqiang, and no one takes him seriously anymore.

The eyes of the people are bright, he has been the village chief for so many years, and there has been no change in Huangni Village, he is still so poor, and there is still no access to roads and electricity. As soon as Hu Jianqiang came up, in just half a year, he opened up the road leading to the outside of the village, and built a bridge over the dry ditch.

"Hey, why did this road still pass from Wu Qinghui's house, remember that he didn't let him occupy his family's land at the beginning? Why didn't the road go from above?" When the pickup truck drove to the back of Wu Qing's house, Hu Mingchen asked curiously.

Along the way, Hu Mingchen kept looking at the situation on both sides of the road, although the road was only repaired, but Hu Mingchen felt that Huangni Village seemed to have changed, so his glance was full of curiosity.

Wu Luhui's turtle son didn't agree at first, and for this, he also had a big quarrel with his brother Wu Luhuang's family, and the two families almost fell out and fought, and later their elder Wu Qing came out to mediate. Under the pressure and relief of Wu Qing and Wu Luhuang, Wu Luhui finally relented, and I also considered making it as convenient as possible for the people in the village, so the road finally passed through this place. Hu Jianqiang explained.

"This kind of person is just looking for anger on his own. Hu Mingchen echoed.

"Although Lu Xiu has gone to the side of the three of them, the relationship between the Wu Luhui family and the two brothers Wu Luhuang is still a little stiff, and they have not completely reconciled. All of this was provoked by Wu Luhui's turtle son, if he hadn't been as tidy as he had at the beginning, how would he have gotten to where he is now. Now he doesn't have much prestige left in the family, even in their group. Hu Jianqiang said while driving.

Although the road was dug through, because it was a dirt road, it was full of potholes, the pickup truck was not driving fast, and there was not even a retaining wall on the side of the road, so it was necessary to be careful.

All the way down, the pickup truck drove for a few more minutes, and finally drove to the side of Hu Mingchen's bungalow.

As soon as the brakes sounded, Hu Yujiao and Hu Yandie ran out of the door to catch up, followed by Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai.

"Didn't you take a lot of things home last time? Why did you get so many things this time?" Jiang Yucai asked seeing Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang constantly moving things down from the pickup truck.

"These things are for my grandmother and my father's family, and some of them are for Hu Mingyi's family and the surrounding neighbors. Hu Mingchen replied.

"It's understandable to bring something to your grandma and daddy's house, how can you even have the neighbors around, are you really too much money to spend?" Jiang Yucai frowned.

"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and usually people help our family, and a little bit of invaluable things is nothing. Hu Mingchen said indifferently.

"The doll belts are all brought, talking about what they are doing, really. To be a man is to be grateful, just like Xiao Chen said, no one has ever been harsh on us. Hu Jianjun helped Hu Mingchen and said.

"I think your two cubs are sassy bags. ”

"Don't chatter, go back to your fire, don't stew. Hu Jianjun waved impatiently at Jiang Yucai.

When the things in the car were moved, Hu Mingchen did not ask everyone to mention them at home, but distributed them nearby, and asked Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao to send them to the Tong family and the neighbors of the Xu family, and Zhong Ying and Hu Erhua's were handed over to Hu Jianqiang to help take them back. Hu Jianye's house and Hu Mingyi's house were sent by Hu Mingchen in person.

"Xiao Chen is back, hey, I asked your father this morning when you will come back, what are you ......" At the door of Hu Jianye's house, Hu Jianye was overjoyed when he saw Hu Mingchen.

"Daddy, I've just arrived, I've come back from the city, and I'll bring you something for the New Year, which are two bottles of wine, a pack of sugar and a cigarette, and a box of fruit. ”

"Oops, what...... We also bought the New Year's goods, why do we want you to bring them. Hu Jianye hurriedly helped Hu Mingchen take the things.

Liu Chunhua and Hu Xiangxiang heard the conversation outside in the kitchen, and hurriedly came out, seeing that it was Hu Mingchen, and then looking at the things that Hu Jianye took over, Liu Chunhua's smile was even brighter than Hu Jianye's.

"Xiao Chen is back, do it quickly, do it quickly, I will cook the dishes immediately, and I will eat at my house in a while, Xiangxiang, hurry up and grab some melon seeds and peanuts to ...... Xiao Chen"

"Auntie, don't need it, don't need it, my family is ready, I just send something, and I won't eat it." Sister, you don't need to catch melon seeds and peanuts, I haven't entered the house yet, I'll go back. Hu Mingchen hurriedly refused.

Now Liu Chunhua has been judged to be the same as before, which is of course due to the fact that Hu Jianjun arranged a living path for Hu Mingyong and Hu Jianye, so that they have an income, so that the family's economic conditions have been improved.

Now the whole village is stammering Hu Mingchen's family, in such a situation, how can Liu Chunhua not change his attitude. Now Hu Mingchen's family has made a fortune, and a little leakage between his fingers is enough for ordinary people to eat, drink, and Lazar.

Leaving Hu Jianye's house, Hu Mingchen sent some gifts to Hu Mingyi's house.

Long Cui'e wanted to leave Hu Mingchen for dinner, and Hu Xiaomin and Hu Xiaohua even pulled Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen was so bad that he got out of his family's enthusiasm and went home. If today is not the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is estimated that Hu Mingchen will not be able to run away, and if he does not eat this meal, he will not be able to leave directly.

In the past six months, Hu Mingyi's family has changed even more, because with the movie theater in the township, his family has an income of thousands of yuan a month, and during the Chinese New Year, his family must be carefully prepared and done well.

That's it, Hu Mingyi and Hu Dehua haven't gone home yet.

On the way home, Hu Mingchen was in a relaxed mood. His own efforts have improved the lives of some people around him, and such gains and satisfaction are not easy for ordinary people to experience.
