"Everyone! After preliminary calculations, we have a total of 2.3 kilometers of road repairs this time. The water channel has been rerouted for a total of more than 500 meters, and 27 new irrigation and water storage caves have been built. In order to save money, we try not to rent large-scale engineering equipment. It is still difficult to complete it before the Chinese New Year. We have two months, so we must hurry up."
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Daqiang sat in the conference room with Huo Qianli's notebook in front of him. He spoke in a deep voice, kicking off the meeting.
It was impossible to go back on one's word now. With a camera in the corner, Zhan Baoxing and the others simply put aside their worries and began to seriously come up with ideas to see how the arrangements could be more reasonable.
When it comes to functional zoning, route planning, and overall design, Huo Qianli may have more knowledge and vision than these villagers;
But when it comes to getting familiar with the village people, how to allocate labor during specific construction, how to make use of everyone's expertise, which company in the town has the corresponding material supply and so on, it all depends on the "rough guys" sitting here.
After all, for those who have lived in this village for decades, they know exactly how many chickens each family raises.
Huo Qianli listened and took notes silently.
After more than three hours, everyone had basically settled down. They went over it again, wrote down the people they needed to contact and the tools they needed to prepare, and then dispersed.
Huo Qianli stretched, looked at Gu Daqiang, and said with a smile: "It's finally started!"
Gu Daqiang sighed inexplicably, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."
Huo Qianli was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Daqiang said quietly, "Studying is really useful! How come Hai Tao's son doesn't work hard enough to get into college?"
Huo Qianli laughed dumbly, "Everyone's path is different. Haitao also has his own strengths!"
"A special skill in sleeping!" Gu Daqiang, like most fathers, is used to repressive education. He is always displeased with his own children and pouted with disdain when he heard this.
Huo Qianli laughed and said something a little more profoundly, "Actually, university is not bad. The main thing is that I learned some methods and tools to look at and analyze problems, and secondly, it broadened my horizons."
He paused after he finished speaking, and added, "Haitao is very smart. The village must have changed a lot in the past two years. Let him read more, learn more, and gain more insights. I will also help him pick out some books to read. It shouldn't be much worse than going to college."
This was what Gu Daqiang was waiting for, and he nodded quickly.
The reason why he supports Huo Qianli's work so firmly as he does now, besides knowing that Huo Qianli is sincere for the village, is also due to Gu Haitao's factor.
Who can not consider their children and grandchildren!
Huo Qianli saw through the little selfishness beneath this public spirit but did not speak out.
Gu Daqiang stood up and said with emotion again: "To be honest, I still can't believe that we can really gather these people together to do something as big as building a road, and succeed."
"It's not done yet, it's not done yet, when it's done, I'll have a happy New Year!"
Huo Qianli stood up with a smile, but the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He picked it up, looked at it, ran quickly to an open area outside the dam, and pressed the answer button.
Due to signal problems, the voice on the other end was still a little intermittent and unclear, but I could still barely hear it.
After nodding, Huo Qianli put his phone in his pocket and ran into the house excitedly, looking at Gu Daqiang who was cleaning up the mess. "Brother, don't mess around here. Let's ride our bikes to town!"
Gu Daqiang asked, "What are you going to do in town?"
Huo Qianli lowered his voice and said something, Gu Daqiang threw away the broom and ran out first, "I'm going to ride a bike!"
Looking at the speed that was inconsistent with his age, Huo Qianli laughed in silence. Is this the power of money?
The call was directly from Zheng Qiang, a high-ranking town official, who told Huo Qianli that the funds promised yesterday had been approved at the town committee meeting and allocated with extremely high efficiency, and asked him to go and get them as soon as possible.
Of course, cash was still the way of life in this era. After all, the cooperative hadn’t even set up a bank account, and there was no place to withdraw money in the village.
While waiting, Huo Qianli noticed Liu Xiaoyu and the photographer sitting in the corner and almost forgot about this side.
He explained it to them, and Liu Xiaoyu and the photographer's eyes lit up, "We're going too!"
Huo Qianli thought about it and it seemed like it might work!
In this town, these guys are like nuclear weapons. Once they are taken out, everyone will be intimidated.
So, two or three minutes later, the three motorcycles set off together and headed for the town.
Liu Xiaoyu sat on one of the motorcycles, looking at the back of Huo Qianli on the car in front, with a bit of frustration and gnashing of teeth in resentment.
Because before getting on the car, Huo Qianli seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to her very seriously: "Let me make it clear first, you are going to go with me, and you have to pay for the motorcycle taxi yourself!"
......
When we came here previously, the crew came in a van and just thought the road was really bad.
Now sitting on the motorcycle and seeing the road surface with their own eyes, Liu Xiaoyu and others finally understood why Huo Qianli would go to so much trouble to repair the road even though he had no money.
During the repeated ups and downs, even though Liu Xiaoyu was very resistant, she subconsciously held on to the motorcycle driver's waist tightly.
Half an hour later, everyone got off the bus in front of the town government.
Seeing Huo Qianli actually walked straight in without caring about anything, and seeing that a person with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius could actually do such a cold thing, Liu Xiaoyu had no choice but to pay the bill depressedly, and then followed him with the photographer.
I informed the guard and soon someone came in.
