Old Xu is good at carpentry work, and the cart is piled with small stools, chopping boards and other things he made.
At the same time, the family also planned to buy some cloth at the market to make clothes for their eldest son to go on his blind date.
At about half past six, the Xu family arrived at the county road only one mile away from Longwangzhuang Town.
But here they could no longer move forward because there were several large bulldozers compacting the road on the county road ahead.
The road is full of slag.
In the Longwangzhuang Town Committee, several town leaders waved their hands nonchalantly and interrupted the staff's report.
"What's the big deal if I miss a big market?"
"Didn't you see that bulldozer out there?"
"If you miss today, I won't be so kind as to drive to you again!"
"This kind of good thing doesn't happen once in a few years, and you still want to push it out?"
"Go get two packs of good cigarettes and give them to the guys driving the roller and the truck."
The leader lowered his voice.
"Please help me, a few technicians. After you finish compacting the slag and dirt pits on the avenue, go to the gate of our elementary school and compact it as well."
"Also, we'll ask the excavator who's digging the road at the town gate to help clear the ditch."
"So what about today's big market?"
"It's not a big deal. Do we have to go into town to hold the fair? We can just hold it outside the town."
Just as the town staff were about to leave with bitter faces, the employee of the Mining Bureau who had been in contact with Longwang Town walked in with an apologetic look on his face.
"The town leaders are truly sorry. We were inconsiderate and didn't remind our driver in advance that today was our town's big market."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect them to dig up the road as soon as they arrived."
"Hey, don't say that!"
Several town leaders were very polite.
"If we don't cut the road, how can we fill it with slag? If people walk around, won't the slag be everywhere?"
The man's face was still full of apology.
"Fortunately, I consulted the leaders of our Economic Revitalization Office in time."
"Our leaders have urgently ordered that the old parking lot closest to our village be cleared for our town's fair. There's nothing but cement floors and asbestos-tiled sheds there!"
"Don't worry, everyone. Our security department is in charge of maintaining order at the fair."
"It means people going to the market have to walk two more miles. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
"Oh, how can you, the Mining Bureau, be so thoughtful? This is just a small matter!"
"No, no, no, no, it's absolutely necessary. Our leader said that if your town's fair ends up being held in the wild, I will definitely be punished!"
The same scene also happened in the Zhaowangzhuang Town Committee, more than three miles away from the old parking lot of the Mining Bureau.
