With Tian Hong and Zhou Yongxiang taking the lead, and Shi Yufei rallying five or six households to do the same, the ripple effect was enormous. Some people with the surnames Zhou and Tian also got up and started to participate.
Some people are greedy, some rely on their connections, and some are troublemakers, but these people are a minority. Most people can still do things with a conscience. The county is building new rural areas and is building new houses for them for free.
What's wrong with that? The planning map isn't important. What's important is that they've been watching Li Xiuyuan's every move in Meilin Village. He's different from the previous deputy mayor like Tian Zhijun.
Li Xiuyuan is often at the construction site of the Heishui River in Meilin Village. Although he doesn't do the work himself, the fact that Li Xiuyuan, as a deputy town mayor, is frequently present at the construction site already shows that he is a very good leader.
That's already good enough for them.
The conditions are good now, there's someone leading the way, and you can sign contracts in advance and choose good locations, so why not do it?
Sitting on the stage, Li Xiuyuan looked at the three busy demolition mobilization teams and smiled. He thought it was the right decision to appoint Zhou Jianzhong, who was about to retire, as the village party secretary and acting village director.
Without competition, Tian Hong wouldn't have taken the lead, and Shi Yufei wouldn't have arranged for so many people to set an example. Competition brings vitality; if everyone were of one mind, then it would truly be over.
Taking advantage of the large number of people signing contracts, Li Xiuyuan didn't miss the opportunity. He called Zhou Jianzhong over and whispered a few words to him. Zhou Jianzhong nodded, took the microphone, and announced that those who signed contracts first would be given priority in the next stage of village construction.
Fifty yuan a day was a lot of money in the village at that time. Many people wanted to go to the construction site on the Blackwater River, but they didn't have the chance because there were only so many spots available. Many people were envious.
Now that signing a contract first offers such an opportunity, many families who were still hesitant have stopped hesitating. Although it is unknown how long the work will take, the second and third phases of the project will take four months, even if they are based on the first phase.
Even the time required for the second and third phases of the project can only be longer than that for the first phase, and it is impossible for the time required for the first phase to be shorter.
Next, the second phase of the project will begin. By then, spring plowing will be over, and there won't be much work in the fields. Working for a month will earn you 1,500 yuan, and working for two months will earn you 3,000 yuan.
For these villagers, this is already quite good, enough to tempt them.
This sparked another wave of signing demolition contracts, with many people getting up and joining the signing process again.
While the signing ceremony was in full swing at the venue, Wei Ke was in a low mood in the teachers' dormitory next door. She had just said goodbye to her students and was packing her things. She had obtained all the formalities that morning and planned to go back in the next couple of days.
"Teacher Wei, when are you planning to go back?" Xiao Rui asked Wei Ke.
"Tomorrow."
"So fast?" Xiao Rui was a little surprised. He had originally thought it would take one or two weeks, or even after May Day, but he didn't expect that all the procedures would be completed in just one morning.
Wei Ke nodded sullenly. When it was time to leave, she was actually a little reluctant: "Yeah, they're waiting for us at home. Go back soon."
Xiao Rui sighed, forcing a smile, and said, "Alright, then I wish Teacher Wei a safe journey."
