The strongest peasant city

Chapter 301 The Pond
Li Xiaogang thought for a while and said: "If in the past, this little money was nothing to me, but now I can say that I have nothing. This is really a problem!"

Seeing Li Xiaogang's frowning and silent expression, Er Niu didn't dare to interrupt, but just accompanied him silently. After a while, Li Xiaogang suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle Er Niu, I have a solution!"

"Oh, let's talk about the solution quickly!" Er Niu's spirit lifted, and he urged repeatedly.

Li Xiaogang said slowly: "We might as well reach an agreement with them in the name of the village committee first.

We owe them the salary for the time being.

After the pond is dug, we can use the pond to raise fish, and then use the money earned from fish farming to repay their wages. Do you think this is okay? "

Hearing Li Xiaogang's method, Er Niu slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that! It should be possible, I'll go and talk to them! These people in our village are sincere, and if I hear This matter was proposed by you, and there will be no problems, just watch it!"

When Er Niu shared Li Xiaogang's opinion with everyone, there were indeed a lot of responders, and their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

Li Xiaogang was determined, and quickly drew out the blueprint.

There is only one problem, that is, the construction of the pond must occupy several good fields. In the eyes of the farmers, the land is the lifeblood!Occupying their land is no different from killing them!In Li Xiaogang's expectation, the resistance should be great.

Sure enough, when those few people heard that their land was going to be taken to dig ponds, they stopped doing it!This time, even if Li Xiaogang agreed to exchange Chitang's shares with them, it would not work.

Seeing that this project was about to run aground, Li Xiaogang was so anxious that his mouth was blistered.

Er Niu even ran to their house three times a day, trying to talk to them, but no matter what he said was breaking the sky, they just didn't agree, so Er Niu could only return home every time.

That day, Li Xiaogang was worrying about how to persuade those villagers. Li Ming and Bai Yun suddenly found Li Xiaogang together, which made Li Xiaogang a little puzzled. ?”

Li Ming smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Li Xiaogang opened it and saw that it was a land contract!Li Xiaogang was taken aback, and asked, "Is this the contract for the land contracted by our family?"

Li Ming smiled honestly, then nodded seriously.

Holding the land contract in his hand, Li Xiaogang looked at the two suspiciously and asked: "You mean..." Li Ming smiled honestly and said: "Son, aren't those households unwilling to give up their land? You take these to exchange with them.

Everyone is a reasonable person, they will agree! "

Li Xiaogang hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I do that! These lands are your lifeblood, how can I do this!"

Bai Yun smiled and said: "What kind of life is not life, look at what you said, our life is your son! You are doing good things for the whole village. If parents don't support it, who will support it!"

Li Xiaogang looked at Li Ming moved, and Li Ming shook his head and said, "Go! Besides, your father and I are old too, and we can't grow any land.

Don't you want me and your mother to enjoy the happiness of life? "

"Dad, Mom!" Li Xiaogang couldn't help but let out a sad cry.

Although the two spoke lightly, seeing the dark circles under their eyes, Li Xiaogang knew that the two had made such a decision after a long period of self-struggle. In the end, their love for their son overcame their attachment to the land .

This is the parent who can give up everything for his children.

Looking at Li Xiaogang who was crying, Li Ming said seriously: "Look at you, you are crying every now and then! Let me tell you, although Dad is just an ordinary farmer, Dad also knows that men don't cry lightly! Instead of crying here Instead of wiping tears from your nose, you might as well make some achievements to show your parents!"

Li Xiaogang wiped away the tears from his eyes, nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, Mom, it's true that you are farmers, but you are not ordinary at all! Don't worry, my son will never let you down!"

After speaking, he bowed to the two, took the land contract, and walked out with full confidence. With such parents and their support, Li Xiaogang firmly believed that even if he wanted to poke a hole in the sky, he could do it. arrive!
When I came to Er Niu's house, Er Niu was drinking.

Cup after cup poured into his stomach, his brows were wrinkled into a big pimple, it looked like he was preoccupied!Li Xiaogang looked at Er Niu and said with a smile: "Uncle Er Niu, I..."

Er Niu waved his hand and said, "Xiaogang, you are here. Look at this!" He took out a few thin sheets of paper from his close pocket, and Li Xiaogang knew it was a land contract at a glance, and said with a heartbeat: "Uncle Er Niu, what are you doing?"

Er Niu took a few more sips and said, "I've already decided to exchange my land with them. No matter how difficult this pond is, I will repair it!"

Li Xiaogang was stunned by Er Niu's words. From this authentic village party secretary, he deeply felt the true meaning of the people's public servant.

I am afraid that even the well-educated mayors and high-ranking officials who think they have high political awareness will be willing to bow down to that kind of sacrifice, let alone feel ashamed.

Li Xiaogang silently took out the land contract contract that Li Ming gave him and said, "This is my father's contract, he thinks the same as you!"

Er Niu raised his head in astonishment, looked at the contract in Li Xiaogang's hand, shook his head, and said firmly: "No! I don't agree! I am the secretary of the village party committee, and I should come if sacrifices are needed. It's not their turn anyway." .

Hurry up and take the contract back and return it to your parents..."

Li Xiaogang shook his head firmly and said, "No! I was the one who brought up the matter of repairing the pond, so if sacrifices are to be made, I should be the one to do it..."

"Shut up! Brat!" Er Niu suddenly became furious, and slammed the wine glass onto the table. Looking at the dazed Li Xiaogang, Er Niu calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Gang, I was too excited just now. .

You have been studying outside since you were a child, and you don't know how important this land is to farmers.

This is no longer a question of rice bowl or not, the land is the root of the farmers, without the land it is like a crop without roots, and they will feel unreliable..."

"What about you? Isn't the land important to you?"

Li Xiaogang looked at Er Niu and asked.

Er Niu was stunned and said: "Important! Of course it is important! But the happiness of the whole village is on me, and they are more important!"

Li Xiaogang nodded heavily and said: "Village Chief, you always say that the most regrettable thing in your life is that you didn't study for a few more years, but in my opinion, you are more knowledgeable than those mayors and senior officials who are full of knowledge. More, more noble! I am a villager of Xingfu Village, and I feel lucky and even more proud to have a village secretary like you! However, you alone cannot make a forest, and it is too difficult to accomplish something! Let me be with you!"

Hearing what Li Xiaogang said, tears flashed in Er Niu's eyes, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he wiped away the hot tears in his eyes, and said: "Good boy, good boy... let's go! Let's talk to them together! " Er Niu took a few sips of wine fiercely, strode forward, and walked out in the first place.

When the villagers watched Li Xiaogang and Er Niu come to the door with the land contract, they were all silent.

Farmers are simple, not mercenary!What Er Niu said is right, what they care about is not money, but the dependence on land in their hearts.

Seeing that the village chief and Li Xiaogang wanted to exchange their land with them, these simple farmers were finally moved. From their simple faces, Li Xiaogang and Er Niu saw a kind of hope.

All the villagers gave up those lands. When Li Xiaogang offered to exchange his own land with them, he was driven out by these villagers.

Li Xiaogang looked at Er Niu with a little embarrassment, Er Niu laughed and said: "Boy, it seems that you still don't know enough about farmers! At this time, you proposed to exchange land with them, which is a kind of kindness to them." Insult! The peasants are always poor, but their spirits are not poor, and their souls are not dirty! Do you understand?"

Li Xiaogang nodded and said: "I didn't understand before, since they are so short of money, as long as you have money with them, nothing can't be done. Now I understand, how stupid I was before!"

Er Niu said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, are you ready to start work, I can wait to see you show your strength!" Li Xiaogang said excitedly: "You just look at me! I am full of energy now! Confidence, it's time for a change!"

With the last obstacle resolved, the construction of the pond in Xingfu Village officially started.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Xiaogang was extremely busy.

Go out in the morning wearing the stars and wearing the moon, and return home in the evening with the moon shining and the stars sparse.

Although busy, these few days are the days when Li Xiaogang feels most at ease and happy.

Watching the pond taking shape day by day, getting deeper and bigger day by day, Li Xiaogang was filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.

All the people in the village, the men go out to work, and the women cook and boil water at home. The whole construction site is full of enthusiasm and fun.

Li Xiaogang was shirtless and vigorously shaking the tools in his hand, without any supernatural power, everything was just like ordinary people, sweating profusely in the sun.

That kind of enthusiasm for working together made Li Xiaogang forget all the troubles and anguish in his heart, just like a fish swimming in the water and a wolf galloping in the grassland, he finally found his destination.

"You... why are you here?"

At Li Xiaogang's house, Gao Yuanyuan's family and Liu Changhe came hand in hand.

Bai Yun greeted in a hurry.

Because Li Xiaogang's house is the largest, everyone chose to cook at his house, so at this time Li's house was full of people, and it was extremely lively and busy.

Gao Yuanyuan anxiously searched everywhere, hoping to see that figure.

Mrs. Gao walked up to Baiyun with a smile and said, "Why, why don't we come and see our good in-laws?"
