Tian Hong left the village office, and soon his voice came over the village's loudspeaker, announcing a meeting. Li Xiuyuan looked at Zhou Jianzhong standing to the side.
"Director Zhou."
"Hey, Li Zhen, I'm here."
"The reason we're not letting him directly contribute his private plot is also for your sake, understand? Otherwise, it would be fine for the village cadres to take the lead, set a good example, and demonstrate some integrity, understand?" Li Xiuyuan said to Zhou Jianzhong. His refusal of Tian Hong was just an excuse. This was to protect Zhou Jianzhong, so he naturally had to make it clear so that Zhou Jianzhong would appreciate it.
Otherwise, Zhou Jianzhong would still be completely bewildered, thinking that it was really the reason he had given on the surface.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianzhong was visibly shaken. Looking at Li Xiuyuan with deep gratitude, he said, "Thank you, Mayor Li."
He already understood what Li Xiuyuan meant. The only issue with Tian Hong's family was that the road construction would involve land acquisition, and Tian Hong was simply being generous by contributing. Since they didn't need to exchange land, the loss wouldn't be significant.
It's just a small plot of land, it doesn't take up much space.
But his house was demolished for redevelopment. Can he really refuse the house? If he doesn't have the house, where will he live?
Tian Hong's move was not only a betrayal of him, but also put him in a very difficult position. If Li Xiuyuan agreed to let Tian Hong give up his private plot, it would be difficult for him to remain as the village party secretary and acting village director.
Don't say things like, "Tian Hong's family is involved in land acquisition, while your family is being relocated." The villagers won't listen to you or understand you. They'll just think, "Tian Hong is willing to contribute land and make contributions to the village, but you're not."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand: "Alright, go ahead and get busy. Prepare for tomorrow afternoon's mobilization meeting."
"Sigh." Zhou Jianzhong left Li Xiuyuan's office with a face full of gratitude.
At 5 p.m., all three demolition mobilization teams returned. The effect was evident after Zhou Jianzhong signed the contract that afternoon. Two households with the surname Zhou also signed, and there was another household with a different surname. Including Zhou Jianzhong, there were a total of four households.
Li Xiuyuan held a brief summary meeting: "Good, not bad. One hundred and thirteen households. Four households signed up today, leaving one hundred and nine households. Today can be considered a start. With a breakthrough, the work ahead will be much easier. Alright, that's all for today. Everyone go back and rest early. Tomorrow morning we will hold the guidance group's office meeting."
This afternoon, we'll hold a demolition mobilization meeting in Meilin Village.
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he announced the adjournment of the meeting. Although it was only five o'clock and the sky was still bright, it was the weekend after all, and going home early would allow them to rest a little longer.
In addition, Li Xiuyuan had arranged a dinner party that evening and also needed to return to the county early.
After leaving the meeting room, Li Xiuyuan drove straight back to the town. He first went to his dormitory to get his dirty clothes, and then returned to the county. He had been so busy that he had completely forgotten about buying a washing machine for the dormitory in the town.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xingdong, as the director of the Party and Government Office, would certainly have this kind of awareness. But the key is that Zhang Xingdong is now the leader of the demolition mobilization team. Not to mention caring about these things, many tasks of the Party and Government Office are sometimes delayed.
Li Xiuyuan didn't speak, so naturally he didn't notice.
After returning to the county, Li Xiuyuan went home first to wash the clothes that needed washing and to pack them to take to town the next day.
