There were already rumors before the Spring Festival, and now it has been finally confirmed.
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "You are well-informed."
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I just came back from a meeting in town. Let me tell you what the meeting was about."
He looked at one of the households and said, "First of all, Mr. Gu Fangming, according to the original plan, your house was not included in the demolition range. In order to save costs, they planned to go through the earth slope behind your house. I negotiated with them and finally included your house."
"First, you can get some compensation, and with a little more money you can build a new house. In the future, you can live in a bungalow like the one in the village committee, or even a building like the village chief's, and live a more comfortable life. Second, if you really don't demolish it, there is a road next to the house, and trucks come and go every day. If someone doesn't pay attention one day, the steering wheel tilts, and a car rushes into your house. It is also very dangerous, and you won't be able to sleep well."
"It's urgent, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you. You guys should decide now whether you are willing to move. If you really don't want to, I'll go talk to the secretary. It's a good opportunity for me to not owe him a favor."
"Yes, yes!" Without further ado, the old man nodded immediately, and then said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Oh, Officer Huo, thank you for your trouble. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow!"
Huo Qianli waved his hand and said, "I am just being public-spirited. If I say that, it will change the meaning."
After that, he looked at the other three families and said, "As for your three families, they are indeed within the demolition area. The compensation for the demolition is initially set at 75 yuan per square meter, and then an additional 800 yuan per person will be given for household registration."
The other three families were not as easy to talk to as the previous one. They looked at each other and remained silent.
Huo Qianli smiled faintly, "Why? Is there anything you can't say in front of me? I thought we had some feelings for each other after more than a year!"
"Officer Huo, don't say that!" A man said hurriedly, "You have done your best for our village, how could we not have feelings for you! Since you said that..."
"Then let's be frank. The money is indeed a little less!" A woman rushed to speak, fearing that her man would be forced into agreeing.
"Yes, Officer Huo, this amount of money is indeed a little too little. We can't even afford to repair the house after demolishing it."
"That's right, we can't live here anymore, you have to find us another place to live."
Someone took the lead and everyone started talking. The common deadlock was about to occur when a voice spoke up.
"What are you fussing about! Officer Huo has already thought of this for you! All you know is to complain about being poor, and you don't even think about Murakami at all!"
Gu Daqiang said coldly: "At the meeting, Cadre Huo almost quarreled with those officials in order to help you get more points."
"It's not that serious. Don't listen to the village chief's nonsense." Huo Qianli smiled and waved his hand. "The price we finally negotiated for is 220 yuan per square meter for bungalows, 100 yuan per square meter for ordinary mud houses, and 1,000 yuan per person for the remaining attachments and seedlings. This is the limit of what I can strive for. I also patted my chest and promised the town leaders that if you can agree to this condition, you must not embarrass me!"
Everyone looked at each other again, and was about to fall silent again.
Gu Daqiang glared at him, "What's wrong with you guys? Are you still not satisfied? Do you think you can take this opportunity to even take down the moon in the sky?"
"You guys saw the farm machinery coming to the village before. Was it difficult to open a road out of the mountain? Did that road have to go through you?"
Huo Qianli still smiled calmly, "You all know that I always speak the truth. It will definitely be more complicated to choose a new route, and the construction company is unwilling to do so. However, if the cost of demolition is too high, they will definitely find another way. Anyway, there are mountains everywhere here, so it doesn't matter. So, everyone, think about it carefully. This is all I can do."
"Think about it!" Gu Daqiang slapped the agreement that Huo Qianli had just written on the table, and pressed it with a pen and ink. "I'll put the things here. When you've made up your mind, sign it and put your fingerprints on it!"
He took out a cigarette and lit it, squinting at everyone, and said calmly: "The last time I signed and put my fingerprints on it, it was to join the cooperative. There are some things I won't say more about, you can figure it out yourself!"
A villager hesitated and said, "Village Chief, how can you make a decision so quickly? Let's go back and discuss it!"
What's the point of discussing this? Once your aunts and uncles come and start talking nonsense, they will give you random ideas and do bad things, and all good things will turn into disasters!
Gu Daqiang complained in his heart and looked at them coldly, "Your family is all here, who else do you need to discuss with? It's not like you need to discuss your family's affairs with your neighbors, or do you want to go to the graveyard to ask for instructions?"
Ten minutes later, Gu Daqiang solemnly put away the paper that was signed and stamped with fingerprints.
Done!
With Brother Huo's help, things become easy!
Then they took the villagers together and began to measure the area of each house.
Huo Qianli, who was in charge of recording data, was very busy when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The anxious voice of a town worker who was sent to work with Old Man Lan to take care of a dozen households in Shangu Town came through the receiver.
"Officer Huo, quickly call some people to help, something big has happened!"
