Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 71
The foreman of the construction team was called Captain Cheng. They came to Yujia Village by car from the town that day, but they couldn't drive in after less than half the distance. They all walked into the village.

People can walk in with two legs, but the materials and equipment for road construction cannot enter, which has become the biggest obstacle to road construction.

This day, at Captain Cheng's suggestion, Yang Shouwang called some respected old people in the village and a few promising young people in the village together, and they had a small meeting on road construction.

"Folks, now we have encountered some problems in road construction. This problem... Sigh! It's up to you to become a leader." Yang Shouwang didn't know much about these professional things.

Captain Cheng sighed, and said to everyone: "I know that the folks have an urgent desire to build roads, but now we are facing a very big difficulty. Materials cannot be transported in, and equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, and road rollers are even more difficult." If you don’t come, it’s too difficult to start work, so we have to push back on the road construction.”

"Push it back? When will it be pushed back? Now the seafood in our village can't be sold, and even the goods in my supermarket can't come in. It's all on the back of the animals to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. It's deadly!" Uncle Liu of the supermarket immediately became anxious.

Not only he was anxious, but everyone in the village was also anxious. When they didn’t make any money before, no one took it seriously when the road was bad every year during the rainy season. Now that they earn a few hundred yuan less a day, how many people are so anxious that they can’t eat.

"In order to build the road, everyone collected money from their own pockets, just to open to traffic as soon as possible. If we continue to wait, what's the point?" Yang Dajun asked anxiously.

"That's right, I can't wait anymore. My child is still waiting for the money from selling seafood to get married, and the woman is urging her."

"Anyway, we took the money, and you don't work, it doesn't make sense!"

The crowd made a lot of noise, and there was a lot of reaction. This was what Yang Shouwang expected. He understood everyone's feelings, but the money was paid by everyone, so he was embarrassed to blame everyone.

"Uncle, please stop arguing and listen to what the captain Cheng said. Since they called us here, we are here to discuss this matter. Arguing will not solve the problem. Let's calm down and talk about it."

As a promising young man in the village and a major contributor to road construction, Wang Tianhui's words are more effective than the village head.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they didn't say anything more.

Captain Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Wang Tianhui gratefully, and continued to say to everyone: "Xiao Wang is right, we will solve problems if we have problems, and we have a certain understanding of the road conditions these days. If it’s too long, it’s only one month, and as long as the road can bear loads and machinery comes in after one month, we’ll start construction right away!”

"One month?! That's impossible! Absolutely not! How can I wait for a month? One month will worry me to death!" Uncle Xu was the first to stand up and object.

Except for the old woman who wanted to see her grandson, everyone in his family was earning money. This stopped, and he was the most angry.

As soon as he objected, everyone also objected, all expressing that they couldn't wait.

Captain Cheng said excitedly: "Normally speaking, it will take three months to do this job when it enters the dry season. If your village chief almost knelt down and begged us on the way, we would have planned to return to the town at that time. I can't live!"

Seeing that the villagers didn't understand, Captain Cheng became angry. Yang Shouwang saw that the conversation between the two sides had froze again, so he looked to Wang Tianhui again for help.

"Tianhui, you are a college student and you have a good brain. Can you think of a way for everyone?"

Wang Tianhui thought for a while, looked at everyone's eager faces and said: "There is no solution, but it is very difficult. It requires everyone to work together and work together."

"Tianhui, tell me, as long as we can build roads, we will obey you!" Uncle Xu took the lead and said.

"Yes! I listen to you!" Everyone echoed.

Captain Cheng felt a little funny, "I can't do anything without equipment, what can you do?"

"Team leader, if we villagers take over the work of the equipment and use manpower to do it, can you start the construction?"

When Wang Tianhui said this, everyone suddenly realized.

Captain Cheng felt even more amused, "Young man, are you kidding? Yujia Village travels more than 30 miles to and from the town, and a lot of materials have to be transported every day. Even if you can transport it, you can't do the job of repairing the road with excavators and bulldozers." Competent? Mixing concrete, paving, and engraving all require machines, and manpower is too difficult. This is not to say that it can be done with dozens of people, and it is very difficult.”

Wang Tianhui didn't waver at all, and asked directly: "The roads in the town were built 50 years ago. At that time, there were no such equipment. Didn't they also be repaired? And it is not worse than the roads built now. We can do the work that people could do in the past. Capable, there is nothing else in our Yujia Village, except that there is no shortage of people working, as long as everyone agrees, then this job can be done!"

After Wang Tianhui finished speaking, he looked at everyone and asked: "Uncle, if everyone in our village works together to help, then this will not be a big problem. It depends on the attitude of each of you. If you do it, then we will do it. If you don't want to do it, then wait a month and decide!"

Everyone looked at each other, discussed in a low voice, and then represented by Uncle Xu, said: "We believe in Tianhui's words, and if he says it is feasible, then it will be feasible. We peasants have nothing else but strength. What do you say? We'll do whatever we want for you, as long as you can start work right away, we didn't say anything!"

"Yes! I agree!"

"Old Xu is right, as long as the road can be built, we have nothing to say!"

"We're sure to do well!"

"Ok, deal!"

Everyone, old and young, agreed, each with great determination.

Yang Shouwang's eyes were red, he nodded gratefully, stood up and said, "Okay! Thank you everyone, I believe you will be able to do a good job. If we are united and united, there will be no difficulties that cannot be solved!"

Captain Cheng was moved by the honesty and simplicity of the villagers. He has been in the construction team for so many years and has built many roads. This is the first time he has seen the whole village contribute money and help build roads.

"Captain Cheng, what do you think of Tianhui's idea?" Yang Shouwang asked with a little pride.

Seeing how determined the villagers are, Captain Cheng slapped the table and said, "Since everyone can overcome such a big difficulty, what else can I say? As long as the materials are ready, we can start work at any time!"

"Great!"

The crowd stood up and applauded excitedly.

"Tianhui, thank you for having me." Yang Shouwang patted Wang Tianhui's shoulder excitedly.

If it weren't for him, Yang Shouwang might not be able to repair the road in the village in his life.

The village head held a small meeting to mobilize the masses, and asked everyone to go home and inform the villagers that, except for the elderly with limited mobility and dolls wearing crotch pants, all men in the village must participate in road construction.
