Is the road in Hushan Village bad?

Regardless of whether one has a conscience or not, anyone with eyes can see that this road is rotten!

It's okay on sunny days, at least the motorcycles can still move around, but when it rains it's like a mud pit and there's no way for cars to pass through.

Does this bad road have any impact on the villagers of Hushan Village?

If anyone says no, the old man from Group 3, Zhan Anquan, who is already lying in the ground, will get up and talk to him about reason.

Do the villagers of Hushan Village want the road to be repaired?

This is basically all nonsense. There are slogans everywhere saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Well, even if they don’t understand, who doesn’t want their life to be better?

However, despite these obvious facts, when Huo Qianli said he wanted to build a road, he was still met with opposition.

To be precise, almost everyone is opposed.

"Repairing the road? Did you get hit on the head by the door?"

"Where did you get the money? Use that money to help me fix up my house!"

"That's right, there's no need to go to a repair shop on this road! Isn't it okay to save the money to cut two plates of pig head meat and drink two taels of wine?"

"The green hook kid (describes young people who are ignorant) is always thinking about nonsense things."

"Although Cadre Huo is very capable, he is still young after all. It is impossible for him to build the road."

An old party member in the front row even stood up and looked at Gu Daqiang, "Daqiang boy, Cadre Huo has not been here long and doesn't know the situation well, and you don't even know how to give him some advice? Ten years ago, the town said they were going to build a road, but that led to trouble and even death!"

Gu Daqiang had a constipated look on his face and glanced at Huo Qianli with resentment.

He didn't expect that Huo Qianli didn't give up!

Still the same as before, once you have made up your mind, you must find a way to do it.

But in his opinion, it would be impossible to succeed by just forcing it!

Under his gaze and amid the voices of opposition from below, Huo Qianli remained unmoved and continued to look at the field with a calm smile.

Seeing Huo Qianli's look, Zhan Baoxing, who was always quick-witted, suddenly had an idea and said loudly, "Officer Huo, have you asked the government for subsidies?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone became excited.

There is no intention to let them pay for road construction themselves, but if the government pays for it, they would still want to take advantage of it by letting them build roads.

And it’s huge!

"Yes, yes, most likely. I was saying it, how could such a capable person like Officer Huo propose building a road for no apparent reason?"

"That's right, Officer Huo is really good. As the saying goes, heroes emerge young. Compared to him, my grandson is nothing. Well, I'll go back and beat him up tonight."

"If the government is willing to allocate funds, maybe this road can really be built!"

Amidst the excited voices, there were also some murmurs of opposition.

"The government has given us money and we have divided it among ourselves. Why go through so much trouble?"

"That's right, to improve everyone's life. There's no need to repair this road. Only a few people walk on it every day."

"Split the money! I want to drink some good wine from a bottle and smoke some good cigarettes that cost five dollars a pack."

Huo Qianli coughed lightly, and the buzzing discussions below suddenly stopped. Regardless of their thoughts, everyone looked at Huo Qianli expectantly, waiting to hear from him about the unearned benefits.

Huo Qianli smiled and shook his head, "There is no funding, and no subsidies."

What the hell!

Everyone was immediately disappointed and contemptuous, and some even spat and cursed in the direction of the stage.

Gu Daqiang also sighed inwardly. If he had known it was for this matter, he should not have agreed to Huo Qianli's request to call a meeting.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. Just listen to what I have to say."

Huo Qianli still smiled, "When I say road building, I don't mean to build it into a town's asphalt road or even a county town's cement road. I mean to fill the roadbed with some stone slabs and level the road surface with some gravel. Then..."

Huo Qianli said leisurely: "The cooperative now has centralized land, and the entire planting and irrigation route has changed. I also saw that some ditches in the village are abandoned and blocked. Those that need to be unblocked should be unblocked, those that need to be modified should be modified, and those that need to be newly built should be newly built."

"These are all very necessary. As you all saw a few days ago, the trucks pulling agricultural machinery could hardly get in. From now on, whether it is to deliver materials or to collect goods, they have to pass through the village. Even for everyone's travel, this road is necessary. At the same time, in order to meet the requirements of large-scale planting and scientific land management, we also need to build water conservancy irrigation and all related facilities."

"All this doesn't cost much. We just need to contribute some manpower and work according to the plan. We can finish it in one or two months."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, just like Gu Daqiang's reaction at the beginning.

You, Officer Huo, seem to be a very smart person, but why are you just telling stories here?

We are not even repairing the road, yet you still want to do this and that. Didn’t you sleep with the hook closed last night and have these big dreams?

However, even though they complained in their hearts, after careful consideration, many villagers in the cooperative gradually began to feel that there seemed to be some truth in it!

According to what Officer Huo said, there is no need to spend any money. As for the labor, they are all local farmers. What they have the most is manpower. The most important thing is that these things can really be used by the cooperative!

The villagers in the cooperative gradually calmed down, but for the villagers in Group 1 and Group 2, this was pure fantasy.

The villager from Group 2 who had been hit by a chestnut by Zhan Baoxing earlier shouted, "Comrade Huo, I think what you said makes sense. Let's lead the cooperative to rectify it!"

His voice was so loud that everyone looked over.
