Chapter 165: Drinking Water, Remember the Well Digger



When I returned to the city, I found that it was not raining.

Zhuang Sheng first sent Chen Jianmin and his wife and Chen Lei and his wife to the shop, then sent Liu Ruonan back home, and then drove to the car wash.

Liu Ruonan plans to have a good rest and go to the bank tomorrow to inquire about the situation.

The next day, when Liu Ruonan got up, Zhuang Sheng was still not there. As usual, there was a hot meal on the table.

After Liu Ruonan washed up, had her meal, and changed her clothes, she did not go to the shop to find Chen Lei, but went directly to the bank.

After asking, I found out that her loan had been approved.

Liu Ruonan's heart was temporarily relieved, and she felt a lot more relaxed for a while.

Liu Ruonan put the money in her bag, took a taxi and went straight to the factory.

Ning Haotian now lives in the factory. He has a single bed in his office and sleeps here at night. A few days ago, Liu Ruonan sent some kitchen utensils, and Ning Haotian cooks for himself.

After not seeing him for a few days, Ning Haotian actually cultivated a vegetable garden in the open space in the yard and started growing vegetables.

Liu Ruonan looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help laughing.

When I entered the office, Ning Haotian was eating. He had stewed cabbage and tofu that he had made himself, and added some vermicelli.

Liu Ruonan sat down opposite him, looked at the vegetable garden outside and said jokingly, "Are you trying to be self-sufficient?"

"Isn't it? This place is remote and there's nothing. If I can't be self-sufficient, what else can I do?" Ning Haotian said, looking somewhat helpless. It was such a big place, and now he was the only one living there. It was indeed a bit lonely. Fortunately, he was used to being alone and didn't care about it.

"Why are you here?" Ning Haotian turned his head and glanced at the vegetable garden outside, then turned around and asked Liu Ruonan.

Liu Ruonan took the backpack over, took out a stack of money from it and placed it in front of Ning Haotian, saying, "I've got something good for you."

Ning Haotian looked at the money in front of him and asked in surprise, "Passed?"

"What do you think? The money has arrived." Liu Ruonan turned her head to glance inside the office, then turned back and looked at Ning Haotian and asked, "Are there any dishes and chopsticks left? I'm hungry too."

"Yes, wait, I'll get it for you." Ning Haotian said as he stood up to get it. After getting the bowl and chopsticks, he served a bowl of food to Liu Ruonan, handed her the chopsticks, and gave her a steamed bun.

The food was bland and tasteless, not as good as Zhuang Sheng's. However, in this environment, being able to cook for oneself was already quite good.

After Liu Ruonan finished her meal, she said to Ning Haotian, "I'll leave the road construction to you. I have something important to deal with."

"What important thing?" Ning Haotian asked curiously.

"Oh, by the way, how is the recruitment going now?" Liu Ruonan responded irrelevantly.

“It’s still ongoing.”

Liu Ruonan nodded and said, "The budget for road construction, including labor, is about 20,000. I'll leave you 20,000 for now. You can use it as you wish. If it's not enough, you can come back for more."

Liu Ruonan said this and turned to leave. Ning Haotian muttered in dissatisfaction behind him: "You left all the mess to me, and you became a hands-off boss."

"Dividends." Liu Ruonan joked, then left.

It was already afternoon when they returned to the city. Zhuang Sheng came back early today. After Liu Ruonan gave him the money, she sat down to chat with him. She wanted to tell him what she was thinking.

In fact, since we are building a road, we might as well build the village road as well.

In addition to the road leading to the town, the village can also build a road leading to the national highway, which also passes by their factory.

In this way, everything is connected, and maybe there will be a chance to help the people in the village become rich!

After hearing what Liu Ruonan said, Zhuang Sheng thought about it for a while and then nodded in agreement.

In Zhuang Sheng's heart, there is no reason to oppose Liu Ruonan. As long as Liu Ruonan wants to do something, he will support her unconditionally. Moreover, what Liu Ruonan wants to do is not selfish or arbitrary.

Why would he object to such a kind decision?

Now that the decision has been made, Liu Ruonan decided to go back to her hometown again.

Zhuang Sheng’s unit could no longer take leave, so Liu Ruonan asked Chen Lei to go home with her.

After returning to the village, Liu Ruonan went straight to the village committee and found the village chief.

When the village chief saw that the person coming was Liu Ruonan, he walked forward with a happy face.

"Comrade Ruonan, why is it you?"

Liu Ruonan still felt a little awkward when she heard the village chief call her like that, so she said to him, "Uncle, you should just call me Ruonan!"

The village chief chuckled twice, then poured tea for Liu Ruonan and Chen Lei.

You know, Liu Ruonan is a rich person now. I wonder what’s the matter that she suddenly comes to their village committee?

"Uncle, I came here today because I actually have something to discuss with you." Liu Ruonan spoke in advance.

"You say." The village chief responded.

"I came back two days ago to celebrate my grandma's birthday, and it happened to rain. The roads in our village were really impassable after the rain. Have you ever thought about repairing the roads in our village?" Liu Ruonan said.

The village chief was startled at first, then said helplessly:

"Ruonan! It's easy to say that, but how could it be so easy? You know the situation in our village. Where can we get the money? Building a road costs a lot of money, and it's not something you can just build it on your own! Earlier, we thought about raising funds, but who was willing to do it? We are all honest farmers, selling some food to make a living, and we live a tight life. Who would be willing to spend money on building a road?"

The village chief spoke at length, expressing his frustration. He had considered this before, but the villagers all said they had walked this road their entire lives, and who had the money to spare for road repairs?

From then on, the matter was shelved, and the village chief never mentioned it again.

"How about this! Uncle, if I say, I'll pay the money and our village will do the labor, and I'll pay for the construction of this road, will the villagers agree?"

When the village chief heard Liu Ruonan's words, he slammed the table and stood up, his eyes full of disbelief: "Ruonan, what did you say? You said you would pay to repair the roads in our village?"

Liu Ruonan nodded heavily to show her affirmation.

The village chief quickly stepped forward, shook Liu Ruonan's hand, and said sincerely, "Nannan! You are the pride of our village! They say that when you drink water, you remember the well diggers, and you are the most true portrayal of this. Now that you have become rich, you still remember the villagers. Now you are willing to fund the construction of roads for our village. The villagers will definitely be grateful to you."
