The blind date was cheated, I directly chose to escape the order

Chapter 389 I hope our family donates more

"The thing is like this, do you still remember that there is a stone bridge at the west end of the village?"

Dad also simply reminded me.

Zhou Yu nodded, "I know, what's wrong?"

That stone bridge is located at the west end of the village. When Zhou Yu was young, in fact, all the houses and residents in their village lived at the west end of the stone bridge.

As far as Zhou Yu’s village is concerned, it is an area where the children of the Zhou surname gather. They are neighbors, but they are actually relatives. descendants of ancestors.

And their ancestral house surnamed Zhou is on the west side of the village. Just because a road was built here later, people felt that it would be more convenient to rely on the side of the road, so they moved their homes from the west end of the village to the present one after another. East of the village.

That stone bridge originally connected the stone bridges on both sides, so it became a main passage in the middle.

Now almost all the families have moved to Dongtou, and the old houses on the west side are basically abandoned, and no one lives in them for a long time. The original old houses have also become dilapidated houses, not collapsed Yes, it is directly covered by weeds.

That is, the ancestral house that has been around for some years will be cleaned up briefly every year during the Qingming Festival, but it is basically abandoned.

But the stone bridge still exists, because the river connected by the stone bridge is the largest farmland irrigation river in the whole village.

The river is still relatively spacious. If there is no bridge, it will take a lot of effort and time to cross the river.

"That stone bridge collapsed?"

"That stone bridge has existed for a long time, and it has already become very fragile. It even fell down a few days ago."

"However, the bridge is broken, but it is impossible for our village to let such a large piece of land sit idle there, and our Zhou family's ancestral house is still there, so the village called on each of our families to donate money to Build a new bridge."

Dad also briefly talked about this matter with Zhou Yu.

"It's no problem. If you build a bridge, you can build the bridge. If you have to pay for it, our family will pay for it."

When Zhou Yu heard it, he didn't think there was any problem, so he said without hesitation.

"Pay money, we definitely have to pay, but that's where the problem lies."

Dad shook his head and said, "The village head and the others just said that this time, every household will donate money to repair the bridge. After the repair is completed, a monument will be erected, and the name of every villager who donated money will be engraved on it." On it, whoever donates more will have the name engraved on it, and the engraved characters will be bigger."

"What's wrong with that?"

After Zhou Yu heard this, he also asked curiously.

Although this method is a bit crude and hateful, it should be something that the village can't do. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the villagers to honestly donate money to repair the bridge.

This kind of donation to build bridges and benefit the village was originally a very good thing and a good thing.

But this kind of good deeds may not be understood by everyone in the countryside.

And in the countryside, although many of these villagers used to be family members, they are still fellow villagers. For example, when there are some weddings and funerals at home, these neighbors will be invited to come to participate, but this does not mean everyone The idea is the same.

For example, the restoration of this stone bridge this time is a very good thing for Zhou Yu and his village, and even for their Zhou family, but when it comes to paying money , and here comes the trouble.

"According to the estimate of the village, if you want to build a bridge connecting the other side of the river, the total cost of even the most common concrete bridge is basically around 120 million. The village and the town can provide about half of the financial support, that is, It is said that the total gap is about 60 or so.”

"If this bridge is rebuilt, it will be mainly used by our large and small Zhouzhuang, with a total of more than 160 households."

"On average, it's equivalent to about 4000 yuan per household."

Dad also briefly talked about the repair of the bridge, including the amount of money that needs to be donated.

"That's not a lot!"

Hearing this number, Zhou Yu nodded slightly. This is really not a lot.

"This money is really not much, at least not much for a family like ours, but the problem is that not every family and everyone thinks so. There are also some families in the village with poorer and more difficult conditions. , It is indeed a bit embarrassing for them to come up with 4000 yuan."

Dad also followed Zhou Yu's words and said simply.

Zhou Yu also expressed his understanding, because there are indeed some families in the village.

For example, the five-guarantee household has no children and nothing, and even needs relief from the village or neighbors for daily life, let alone asking him to pay for it.

In addition, there are some families whose conditions are not very good because someone in the family is sick or disabled, and it is also difficult to come up with money.

This will inevitably lead to situations where some families cannot afford so much money, or even do not.

As the saying goes, do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

In rural areas, this is the most feared situation.

"It's not all rumors. You married Weiwei, and now you are rich, and our family is also rich. The cadres in the village found me. I hope our family can donate a little more money for these families in difficulties. part of the money."

Having said so much, Dad finally got to the point.

"This is no problem."

Zhou Yu nodded, and then agreed, "If it's really difficult for the family, it's okay if our family donated this part of the money.

Although in this way, their family will inevitably become the one who donated the most money, but it can be regarded as doing good deeds and doing good deeds. Zhou Yu is also well-off now, donating a little more is not a big problem. "

"There is a problem, a big problem..."

But Dad gave him a blank look at this time, and hummed angrily.

"If it is just to help these needy families to donate, then naturally there is no problem at all. Even your mother and I definitely agree with it, but the problem lies in this. When we donate more money, then we The name on the stone tablet at the head of the bridge must be on the top, and it will be engraved the largest, and other people will not be happy."

Dad also explained it to Zhou Yu carefully.

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that his three views had exploded. At this time, he couldn't help complaining, "Co-author donating more money and helping the folks in the village, did a good deed, or is it a mistake?"

"Okay, don't complain. Many things in the village cannot be judged simply by reasoning or not."
