Rebirth 1983

Chapter 194 The First Catalpa Soil
Chen Song and the old branch secretary obviously left first, but when they arrived at the construction site, they found that the villagers who were still behind them just now had already arrived one step ahead and were already waiting at the construction site.

Zhou Yu was gesticulating with some people with tension. Next to him were several mixers and dump trucks. The workers had already put on their hard hats and were waiting.

Before Chen Song arrived, he had already seen the workers in the distance, almost all of them were from the villagers near Chenjiaao and Yangjiacun.

In front of them was the village party secretary of Yangjia Village who had been waiting for a long time. Like Chen Jiaao, the village chief and party secretary was the same person.

The village party secretary of Yangjia Village is a middle-aged man, and standing next to him is the school's Principal Yang. The two are cousins. They arrived early in the morning and talked for a long time. Everyone waited for the auspicious time to arrive and prepare to start construction.

But Chen Song and Chen Jia'ao's old party secretary didn't arrive, so everyone was waiting.

As soon as the two arrived, Chen Jia'ao's village party secretary and principal Yang surrounded them and greeted them affectionately.

"Uncle Chen, this little brother is the big boss of your village, Representative Chen?"

The village party secretary of Chenjia'ao greeted the old village head, and kept his eyes on Chen Song, looking at Chen Song curiously, trying to find out that he was ugly.

He quickly stretched out his hand. Although he is the head of a village and also works as the village party secretary, in fact he has taken the honor of the clan in the village, but in terms of status, he is not comparable to the county people's congress representative. After all, there are more than 30 villages under their jurisdiction in their county, and there are more than 50 village chiefs and party secretaries. In some villages, one person is also the village party secretary and village chief.

However, there are not many deputies to the county's people's congress. After all, the population of the entire county is there. According to the ratio of 5000 people to one deputies to the people's congress, there are at most 20 deputies in the county. In addition, deputies to the people's congress can participate in major meetings in the county, and even propose proposals to the province.

After all, he was an elder, Chen Song stretched out his hand and held the other's hand tightly, with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Uncle Yang, I'm Chen Song from Chenjia'ao. Don't make fun of me, the big boss. I'm a junior. You can just call me Songwazi."

"That's right, Xiao Yang, don't mess with those fancy things, Son Son is one of us, why are you being so polite?"

The old branch secretary chimed in, laughing and cursing.

"Chen Song, I didn't expect you to do this. I really didn't expect it!"

After everyone finished greeting, Principal Yang said with a smile, with a hint of shock to Chen Song in his eyes, and re-examined this young man.

After all, Chen Song also attended classes under Principal Yang when he was a child. Looking at Chen Song now, he couldn't tell that Chen Song was shy and introverted when he was a child, which made Principal Yang feel a lot of emotion.

"What the hell, what else is there that I don't know about?" The old branch secretary suddenly became curious when he saw Principal Yang's words.

"Second Grandpa, it's nothing. Do you remember that you came to my house and told me that you wanted to fight for the implementation of the county-level highway route? Later, Principal Yang also wanted me to promote this matter. No, didn't I just fulfill my promise to you two?"

Chen Song spread his hands to indicate the construction site in front of him, the meaning was self-evident.

"So that's the case. It seems that President Yang and my old man coincidentally." The old branch secretary laughed, deeply moved.

"Hey, I also thought about my cousin talking about it before, so I just wanted to ask Chen Song to try it. At that time, I didn't think there was much hope, but I didn't expect it to happen!"

Principal Yang looked at Chen Song, his eyes were full of love for Chen Song.

"With this road, it's much more convenient to get in and out of the ten miles and eight towns around us. And we have good conditions for attracting business and investment. We don't have to turn around and run back before people arrive like before."

The village party secretary of Yangjia Village sighed with emotion, his brows stretched out, and a faint joy appeared on his face.

"That is, in the future, let's get rich together. The chief designer has said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!"

Several people smiled, full of confidence in the future.

The village head of Yangjia Village is still young and in the prime of his life. Originally, the village had to develop and had many problems. No way was the most difficult thing. Now that this problem is about to be solved, he must do something to lead everyone to a better life.

The old branch secretary is old, and although he wants to bring the village to prosperity, he has no power to do so. However, there is a Chen Song among the descendants of the Chen family. With such a familiar person, he knows that Chen Song will definitely not leave Chenjiaao behind, so he is also full of confidence in the future of the village.

After the few people exchanged pleasantries, someone came to remind them that the auspicious time would arrive soon.

The old branch secretary said with a smile: "Let's go, Songwazi, you have to measure the first ruler, and you have to dig the first soil for this roadbed. Let's go, this is a big event for our two villages, you go!"

"Yes, yes, this matter can be successfully landed between our two villages. The biggest contributor is you. This No. [-] Chutu, except for you, no one else is qualified."

The village party secretary of Yangjia Village also laughed and joked, asking Chen Song to shovel the first catalpa.

Zhou Yu and Zhang Li had been waiting by the side for a long time, with a surveying instrument tucked beside them, and when they saw a few people coming up, they hurriedly said, "Guys, the auspicious time has come, who among us will shovel the first catalpa soil?"

"This kid." The old branch secretary pushed Chen Song from behind and pushed him to the front of the stage.

Zhou Yu picked up the iron catalpa on the side and handed it to Chen Song: "Representative Chen, here you are, the place where the lime line is sprinkled is the range of our road, just dig a piece of catalpa over there! Then we will get on the machine and dig the base layer!"

Chen Song took Tie Chu, glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and stood to the side. At this time, people in both villages started to applaud.

Under the thunderous applause, Chen Song looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, young and old, and women, and his blood boiled in his heart.

Everyone has been waiting for this road for too long. Today, it finally started.

The old village chief stood beside Zhou Yu, discussing the specific details with Zhou Yu. After a while, the old party secretary called the village cadres and said, "Set up the firecrackers. When the first shovel is dug, let's fire the cannons."

The village cadres hurriedly took a few young boys from the village to place the firecrackers on the side of the roadbed.

Several adults holding the child quickly covered the ears of the child in their arms, but the child refused to let go, and broke free from the adults' palms, dancing happily.

Zhou Yu directed the workers and villagers nearby: "Go to the side, go to the side, yes, don't block the laser, otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate."

The big guy quickly backed away, making a lot of noise.

The old branch secretary said with a smile: "Songwazi, with your first shovel, start digging from the place Technician Zhou said. Wherever you dig, we will measure from there."

"It's auspicious time!"

Chen Song trotted over quickly, and shoveled up some soil on the ground, which was regarded as the first shovel.

Significant!

Applause!

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu adjusted the surveying and mapping instrument, and the machine was put on the field. The workers began to dig the grassroots. Chen Song quickly stepped back and watched with everyone for a while.

The sound of firecrackers stopped soon, but the sounds of workers building roads and the roar of machines intertwined, and the surrounding villagers all smiled and talked a lot.

"Songwazi, you're doing well, you've given Dad a face!"

At some point, Chen Aiguo walked up to Chen Song, and a strong and loving palm slapped him on the back, almost causing Chen Song to stumble forward.

"Dad, it hurts!" Chen Song said bitterly.

"Isn't your father happy? Why do you still have an opinion? Your father loves you if he beats you!" Chen Aiguo snorted a few times.

Chen Song didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that Chen Aiguo would hit him again.

"Thank you, son!"
