The construction team has more and more people, and the project is progressing day by day.
The next day, the work area secretary Zhang Qingcai came to see Sun Zongyuan with a sad face.
"Zongyuan, that household near the No. 3 bridge culvert refuses to be relocated. I've tried everything, but they're just not moving. It's driving me crazy."
"What other problems could possibly worry our secretary?" Sun Zongyuan joked.
"We have never done any demolition work, so we don't really have any experience in this field. If this family lags behind, Secretary Li will definitely criticize me."
"I'll go and take a look. Let's work out a way together to get him to demolish the house as soon as possible and not delay anything." In his previous life, Sun Zongyuan participated in and took the lead in countless demolitions, big and small. Due to his outstanding performance in the demolition in the area, he was awarded the "Third Class Merit" and also gave speeches in counties and districts to share his demolition experience.
Walking into this "nail house" that was being demolished, I learned that the owner was called You Qiwei. He had two daughters, and their clothes were shabby. His mother was blind, and his wife was suffering from the sequelae of polio. Light shone through the cracks in the three thatched houses. The house was a mess, and a few corn cobs were boiling in an iron pot. You Qiwei, shirtless and wearing only shorts, sat on a wooden stake and cursed loudly:
"Fuck it, if anyone comes to demolish my house, just try it. If anyone dares to do so, I will send my mother and wife to that person's home."
"Brother, I'm here to repair the road. Don't be angry. If you have something to say, just say it. After seeing your family, I realized how difficult your life is."
"Leader, you are the only one who understands me. I have it so hard. If you demolish my house, where will I live? When will it take me to move out by myself? I can't even afford to eat. The school is so close, but my two daughters can't afford to go to school. I feel sorry for my two children."
"Qiwei, don't worry, there will always be a way to solve your problem. Trust the Party Committee and the government!"
After leaving Youwei's house, Sun Zongyuan said, "I will report this issue to the leader, you guys go ahead and do your work."
Sun Zongyuan rode his bike to the office of Party Secretary Li. Seeing someone inside, he waited at the door for more than ten minutes. When Secretary Li escorted the people outside out, he saw Sun Zongyuan at the door and asked, "What's going on?"
"Secretary Li, there is a situation I need to report to you."
"Okay, come in and talk."
Sun Zongyuan briefly reported on the situation of Youwei in Honghua Village.
"Secretary Li, this is the situation. In order to complete the road construction as soon as possible, I have to solve this household's problem."
"Zongyuan, if you have any ideas, don't hide them, just tell us."
"I think it's like this. You Wei's family is burdened with heavy financial burdens and their situation is special. We need to provide long-term subsidies for those in need. We can provide some cement and have the village allocate a site for them to build houses and resettle them properly. We can't let the road construction discourage the people." Sun Zongyuan, with experience from his previous life, reported slowly.
"I think his mother has cataracts. We can contact the county hospital to perform cataract removal surgery. The cost of the surgery is not high."
Sun Zongyuan glanced at Secretary Li and didn't seem angry. After a moment's deliberation, he continued, "Although his wife has mobility issues, she should be able to cook. She could be arranged to help out in the elementary school cafeteria. His two daughters are eight or nine years old and still haven't started school yet. They could go to elementary school for free. This family is in such a difficult situation."
"This time Yang Zhiwu is building a bridge and culvert, and I want Youwei to follow him and earn some money to support the family."
After finishing speaking, Sun Zongyuan looked up at Secretary Li.
"You've said it very comprehensively. Let's do as you say. I'll make arrangements with Township Chief Zhao later. We need to get things done, and do it well. We can't let the people behind our backs scold us for being ungrateful. The village has a responsibility for this. They didn't report or help such a needy household. How despicable!"
Soon, Township Chief Zhao organized a meeting with the work area, Honghua Village, primary school, health center, and Sun Zongyu and others. Township Chief Wang reported on Youwei's relocation and asked them to actively do a good job according to the division of labor, especially the inadequate and absent early work in the village. He criticized them and ordered them to complete the construction of resettlement housing as soon as possible. The first task was to find a house to live in for a month so as not to delay the road construction.
Township head Zhao emphasized and praised Sun Zongyu for his comprehensive work suggestions. At the same time, he asked the work area to study the demolition work more and do more mass work.
After Youwei's problem was resolved, the relocation and demolition were completed within two days and the construction proceeded smoothly. During this period, the main leaders of the county education bureau, transportation bureau and party committee and government went to the construction site to inspect and guide the work. They highly praised Honghua Township for attaching importance to education and actively building rural roads. In particular, the leaders of the transportation bureau and the education bureau said that if the quality of the project is up to standard, the two bureaus will hold on-site meetings throughout the county to promote the experience of Honghua Township.
Secretary Li Jianguo and Township Chief Zhao both agreed readily and expressed their determination to achieve results beyond their imagination!
Honghua Township used to be a backward township. It had not appeared at any county-wide meeting for four or five years. This time, the two leaders were even more determined to register and show up in the county!
The armed forces department was responsible for using explosives to blow up the hill. They found several experienced veterans, set up a cordon far away, and carried out concentrated blasting during the time period after students were out of school. Since the amount of explosives used was scientifically calculated, the blasting had little impact on the surrounding area, and Sun Zongyuan's bottom line of safety was finally guaranteed.
The construction party of Bridge No. 2 came from a neighboring township. A relative of the Director of the Transportation Bureau's hometown took the lead in organizing the construction. It was obvious that they lacked construction experience and were not technically proficient. Sun Zongyuan focused on the construction of bridges and culverts every day, especially on Bridge No. 2. He directed the work on site and almost became the construction team leader. The construction team leader also knew that there was a gap in his skills, so he listened carefully to Sun Zongyuan's arrangements. Sun Zongyuan taught him step by step, checking the truckloads of prepared materials and laying the stones piece by piece, fully demonstrating his good temper and good character as a teacher.
On the fourth day, the road foundation was basically completed. The township changed the original construction plan and laid potato stones on the gravel road, and then covered them with river sand to fill the gaps. On the tenth day, the bridge culvert was basically completed.
It rained heavily for two consecutive days starting from the eleventh day. Sun Zongyuan, Zhang Hongzhi and Song Shicheng, squatted on the construction site every day, fearing that the rain would damage the road foundation and even more afraid that the newly built bridges and culverts would be washed away by the rain. Fortunately, the heavy rain fell from the sky, and the roads and bridges remained intact. Sun Zongyuan's first project withstood the experience of heavy rain.
As soon as the heavy rain stopped, Secretary Li and the mayor came to the construction site and inspected the road project that had been washed by the heavy rain in detail. They praised the excellent foundation of the road construction and said that there was no waste of manpower and material resources.
