Chapter 243 There are too many projects I want to invest in
The first time he arranged for relocation, because there were too many people who wanted to move to Huaixi Village, the brigade refused to allow anyone to move.
The second time he wanted to buy a house and move, Huaixi Village refused to accept villagers from nearby villages just because he was a few days late in raising money.
Now that his grandson is about to go to primary school, Zhang Dalong is thinking about using his connections to see if he can move here so that his grandson doesn't have to go to several places for schooling in the future.
Because there is only an elementary school in their village, if they want to go to junior high school, they have to go to the commune, and if they want to go to high school, they have to go to the county town.
Zhou Yong didn't say anything about this matter because it was not his responsibility.
Zhou Yong was very unkind to push the blame on his father-in-law. As for how Li Baotian would deal with it, that was his business.
Anyway, no matter who moves here, the villagers will dig up their background to see if the family meets the relocation criteria.
Assuming that this family does not meet the relocation criteria, then other relatives can move in. If they are not allowed to move in, the villagers will definitely make trouble.
Therefore, many things Zhou Yong and Li Baotian did were not inhumane, but hundreds of families were eyeing the relocation quota!
Moreover, only 800 houses were built in Huaixi Village, and villagers bought a total of 64 houses. Now there are only 86 houses available for sale.
It can be said that Huaixi Village is a well-deserved large village in Qingmu County, with 650 households and a population of more than 5,500.
Therefore, no matter who wants to relocate, the requirements in all aspects will be very strict.
The four children came home with Li Baotian after school.
“Uncle.”
The moment Li Baotian saw Zhang Dalong, his head suddenly buzzed.
"When did the dragon come?"
Zhang Dalong and Li Baotian started chatting casually, and Zhou Yong got up and went to the back kitchen.
Zhang Guifang had almost finished preparing the meal. Zhou Yong set the table and Zhou Keyin washed her hands and picked up the dishes and chopsticks from the table.
The brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen were not idle either. They brought the prepared meals to the table.
Zhou Kerou was playing with Li Jingan. The food was ready and Zhang Guifang came out of the kitchen, calling everyone to eat.
Five children sat obediently around the dinner table. Even the youngest, Li Jing'an, would not pick up his chopsticks until the adults had sat down and started eating.
Seeing this, Zhang Dalong praised them for being sensible. Zhang Guifang smiled and took over the conversation. Several adults pulled out stools and prepared to sit down.
"Zhou Yong, have a drink with your brother."
Li Baotian has quit drinking for many years, and Zhou Yong always drinks with him when he comes to his house.
Zhou Yong responded and turned to go to the kitchen to get some wine. Zhang Guifang said to herself: "Look at my memory. I took out the wine and put it on the chopping board, but I forgot to bring it to the table..."
While they were talking, Zhou Yong returned to the dining table carrying a basket of loose flour weighing one pound.
"Brother, I have something to do this afternoon, so let's drink less at noon. We'll have a good drink in the evening..."
Zhang Dalong responded with a smile, poured the wine for Zhou Yong to sit down, and everyone started to eat.
During the meal, Zhang Dalong didn't say anything, but just chatted about family matters with Li Baotian, Zhang Guifang and Zhou Yong.
When the five children finished their meal and were about to leave the table, Zhang Dalong took out fifty yuan from his pocket and gave ten yuan to each child.
"Da Long, what are you doing? It's not a festival, put the money away quickly..."
These words were said by Li Baotian.
Zhang Dalong didn't want to take the money back: "Uncle, the New Year is coming soon, I will make clothes for each child..."
After listening to her nephew's words, Zhang Guifang gathered the money that she had placed in front of the five children and handed it to Zhang Dalong.
"Put the money away! They have so many clothes that they don't even need to buy new ones for the New Year..."
Zhang Dalong rejected the money that Zhang Guifang handed over. Li Baotian frowned slightly: "Dalong, you are making it difficult for your uncle. Take the money back, and we will discuss other matters after dinner..."
Li Baotian knew exactly why he came, but he also had his own difficulties.
Seeing this, Zhang Guifang stuffed the money into her nephew's hand and said, "You kid, you don't have to be like this with your aunt..."
Zhang Dalong thought about it and put the money on the table. It was obvious that he came prepared, and Li Baotian sighed quietly in his heart!
The children left the table and went back to their rooms to play. Li Baotian started talking about the current housing purchase policy in Huaixi Village.
Zhang Dalong does not meet the requirements in any aspect. If he moves here, it will cause a lot of trouble for Li Baotian.
Zhang Dalong sighed, and Zhang Guifang was a little unhappy.
"You are so dogmatic about what you do, can't you open a back door?"
Li Baotian also wanted to open a back door for Zhang Dalong, but the problem was that if he did that, and other people came to him, would he open the back door for them?
Zhang Guifang put down her chopsticks with a sad face: "Anyway, I can see that my family can't do anything for you..."
Li Baotian froze. Zhou Yong saw that the couple were about to quarrel, so he said, "Mom and Dad, let's eat first and then talk about this."
Zhang Guifang was in no mood to eat. She glared at Li Baotian and said, "You guys eat, I'm full."
She left this sentence and went back to the house, obviously unhappy with Li Baotian.
Zhou Yong looked at the food on the table and he lost his appetite.
Zhang Dalong looked apologetic: "Uncle, I am sorry for causing you trouble..."
What can Li Baotian say?
He looked at his son-in-law, hoping that Zhou Yong could come up with an idea to solve the problem.
Zhou Yong did have an idea, but the problem was that if Zhang Dalong moved here, what would happen if other members of the Zhang family found out?
If this loophole is opened and other members of the Zhang family are not allowed to move in, they will be unhappy with Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang. However, if they are all allowed to move in, each of them will not meet the relocation criteria.
Zhou Yong found this matter rather difficult. He took a big sip of wine and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Baotian sighed and felt that it was too difficult to be the village chief.
The matter was not resolved at the dinner table. After dinner, Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to the commune to meet his senior brother.
Xu Jianmin went to the county today to cooperate with the investigation. Zhou Yong was worried, so he came to see what the result was.
Because Xu Jianmin had a good attitude, took the initiative to explain the problems, and was not deeply involved with the team, he was only given a verbal warning by his leader.
As for Ji Dongming and his brother-in-law, they have been invited to have tea with the disciplinary inspection department, and they will not have a good ending in the end.
After talking about this, Xu Jianmin and Zhou Yong started chatting.
“When is the chicken farm going to be operational?”
Zhou Yong chuckled: "May or June next year. It's too cold now to build a chicken coop..."
Xu Jianmin took a puff of cigarette and asked: "Besides opening a chicken farm next year, are there any other projects you want to invest in?"
Zhou Yong spread his hands and said, "Brother, there are too many projects I want to invest in, but the problem is that I don't have the money..."
Xu Jianmin looked at Zhou Yong who was crying poor and said, "Come on, your village has no money. Which village dares to say it has money..."
There is money in the brigade’s account, but that money cannot be easily used because it is salary circulation funds.
Xu Jianmin knew the situation of Huaixi Village Brigade. After listening to Zhou Yong's words, he said, "By the way, aren't there still a lot of houses left in the village that haven't been sold? If you sell the houses, won't you have money?"
Zhou Yong glanced at Xu Jianmin who said this, and said with a little helplessness in his tone: "Brother, why are there only houses left in Huaixi Village? Don't you have any idea?"
If it weren’t for Xu Jianmin, would there be only eighty-six houses left in Huaixi Village?
