fisherman's evening

Chapter 52
Lao Hai took the notice, read it word by word, and said, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Old Uncle Hai, you read this too fast, read it twice."

No need to guess who spoke, it was definitely Zhang Shugen, he was a master at interrupting.

"Don't interrupt, isn't your skin itchy again?" Lao Hai said, he couldn't stand being interrupted when he was doing business.

"Well, I want to ask, does this mean that we don't need to pay for it ourselves?"

Some villagers began to ask questions.

"Is it okay as long as we contribute manpower?"

"Where can we get the tools and materials for road construction?"

"If the roads are all built for the work on the mountain and in the sea, how will we live?"

One started, and the problems sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Yu Laosan saw that the questions asked by everyone were similar to what he had preset in his heart, so he answered them one by one.

"The purpose of our meeting is to mobilize everyone to contribute to road repairs, and the money problem has been solved."

"As for tools and materials, Dongshan Village promised to help us build roads. We can go to their village to buy tools, borrow animals, and go to the town to buy materials."

"When building roads, we have one or two people from each household, and the work on the mountains and in the sea will make the rest of the family suffer. As long as we build roads, life will be better in the future!"

Yu Laosan explained all the problems to everyone in an orderly and clear manner.

"Secretary Yu, how do you and I live in a single family?" Widow Lin said slightly teasingly, "We can't live together as a partner, can we?"

This sentence caused a burst of booing from the villagers.

But these words are not rough and reasonable. Singles and widows like Yu Laosan and Lin Widow who have only one person left in their families are usually a bit too busy with farm work, and even less busy when building roads.

Before the third child could speak, Xu Qin looked at Widow Lin and said, "Your question, I, the female director, will naturally arrange an errand for you."

"What? Director Xu is going to give me a continuation?" Widow Lin teased, without feeling the slightest blush.

The villagers laughed again.

Yu Lao San knew the widow Lin's temper. The more you talked to her, the more energetic she would be, so he pretended he didn't hear it and continued, "Be quiet, be quiet, and those below who agree to build the road will raise their hands."

Hearing Yu Laosan's words, the villagers began to talk about themselves again. After half a minute, people began to raise their hands one after another, and finally [-]% of them raised their hands.The people in Yujiawa Village are not the kind of unreasonable people. The road construction is for everyone's benefit, and of course they have to participate.

"It's not for my family to build the road. Those of you who don't raise your hands, what are you thinking?" Guangfa's temper flared up again, and he said to those who didn't raise their hands.

Seeing Guangfa like this, Lao Hai felt that it was inappropriate, and said to the villagers who did not raise their hands: "If you have any concerns in your heart, let us solve them together."

"Our family is on the edge of a village. What good will building roads do to my family?" a villager whispered.

Guangfa’s impatience still persisted, and he immediately said: "There is no life in your land? There is no fish in the sea? You don’t want to transport it out to earn money to live a good life? Others’ wives and children have bought good things, and your wife and children are guarding the broken pots. You can't even lift your head up!"

The words were rough and reasonable, and I don't know whether it was because he felt that Guangfa's words made sense or because of the pressure that Guangfa brought him. This person slowly raised his hand, and the rest of the villagers who did not raise their hands almost all raised their hands. hands.

Seeing that almost everyone in the village understood the meaning of road construction, and they all agreed to build roads. Yu Lao San had a complete confidence in his mind. The town solved the funding problem, with the help of Dongshan Village, and the villagers worked together. There is nothing impossible.

Therefore, Yu Laosan told the villagers about his plan and asked the villagers to provide manpower according to the actual situation. Guangfa was responsible for organizing the labor force of the middle-aged, Yu Jun was responsible for organizing the young labor force, and Xu Qin waited for the next day to go door-to-door Encourage the women of the village to support the work of the men.Lao Hai is waiting to go to the town to contact the materials for road construction.Yu Laosan's plan is to go to Dongshan Village to find Tian Liang tomorrow, tell him about his plan, and buy some tools for road construction, and then ask Tian Liang to go to the town to ask for money for the tools.

"Okay, then today's meeting will be held here first." Yu Laosan said: "I will explain it to my family when I go home, and it is a good thing to build roads."

So the villagers dispersed separately. When they came, they came one by one, and when they left, they went in groups.Yu Jun also went out with the villagers, before evening.Going to collect the net cage from the sea with his father.

Seeing that the villagers had basically dispersed, Zhang Shugen leaned forward and asked Yu Laosan and Lao Hai, "Secretary Yu, Uncle Lao Hai, what should I do?"

"You just control your mouth, it's better than anything else." Yu Laosan was slightly angry, and when he saw this kid, he couldn't get angry.

Lao Hai smiled and said, "Go to Yu Jun and ask him to lead you guys to contribute to the village."

Lao Hai is tactful. He knows that if Zhang Shugen is not allowed to do something, something will happen during the road construction. If he is allowed to follow Yu Jun, because of Yu Jun's prestige among his peers, he cannot be called a leader. Zhang Shugen, but at least he can suppress him and prevent Zhang Shugen from doing things that provoke relations and petty theft.

"Hey, Uncle Hai still understands me." Zhang Shugen said as he walked out, "With my ability, the road in the village can definitely be repaired, so I'm going to find Yu Jun."

Yu Laosan looked at Zhang Shugen and felt annoyed, but since Lao Hai said that he would let Zhang Shugen follow Yu Jun to build roads, there is nothing wrong with it. Yu Laosan knew that Yu Jun could suppress Zhang Shugen, but he must start with road Divide your energy on major issues.

"Third brother, I'll go to the town tomorrow and contact you to see if there is anyone who sells sand and cement lime." Lao Hai planned, and said, "By the way, I'll go and see if there's anyone who drives a forklift, which can save a lot of effort." .”

"Okay!" Yu Lao San agreed, Lao Hai was doing things, Yu Lao San was always at ease, so he said: "Tomorrow I will go to Dongshan Village and find Tian Liang."

Guangfa, who was standing aside, became anxious and asked, "Then what should I do? I have done everything that needs to be done."

Hearing Guangfa's question, Yu Laosan found that it was indeed the case. All the people who should sign up have been counted, and the start of work is only after the materials are ready. Guangfa has nothing to do for a while. It looks like this, if you don't find him again Something to do, he can get angry.

"If you have nothing to do tomorrow, take a few people to measure the specific length of this road. Take note of the big rocks that are not easy to move along the road," Yu Laosan said.
