Chapter 769 Public Participation



If the reservoir is really built, the village will no longer have to worry about not having water for irrigation every summer!

However, building a reservoir naturally has both advantages and disadvantages.

This would inevitably tie Xishan Village and Dongxi Village above it together.

Although Dongxi Village resumed individual dining after ending the communal dining system in the past two years.

Moreover, their surplus grain was much more abundant than that of other production brigades, as evidenced by the situation in Xishan Village.

The village chief of Dongxi Village followed suit and started a side business!

Because of this, Dongxi Village has not experienced traffic jams in the past two summers.

After all, you can't just pick up your rice bowl and call out to your parents, then put it down and start cursing!

If we include both villages, then we need to carefully search for the location where the reservoir will be built, so that we don't let anyone control our destiny.

Some people were worried and couldn't help but ask the village chief, "How big will this reservoir be? Where will it be built? What if something happens?"

After all, the many side businesses in the village have probably already made some people in higher positions quite envious.

Who can guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to interfere?

If they hadn't signed a formal supply contract with their superiors, there would probably be quite a few people who wanted a piece of the pie.

Tan Dingguo knew that the supply contract signed with the county town was entirely due to Fu Hongxing.

Otherwise, those ghosts and monsters would inevitably come out and cause trouble.

However, building a reservoir is not something that can be done immediately.

After all, a suitable location for building the reservoir still needs to be surveyed, and once it is decided, it still needs to be approved by higher authorities.

Most importantly, the river in Xishan Village is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are covered with trees.

Aside from the upstream side of the river, Tan Dingguo really couldn't think of anywhere else suitable to build a reservoir.

Because of the news that the reservoir construction involved the entire population, the news that Xiaofeng woke up was not so surprising.

However, when people meet Ning Jing, they can't help but praise her.

If it weren't for Ning Jing's meticulous care, this person, who would have been lying there half-dead in a vegetative state, would be as healthy as he is now.

In the village, almost no one said anything bad about the tranquility.

Of course, with the exception of a few others.

Some were happy while others were sad. When the notice to build the reservoir came out, Fu Hongmin's family was immediately filled with gloom.

For the first time, Fu Hongmin regretted separating from his uncle's family. Otherwise, if they were still a single household, only one person would have needed to work on the reservoir.

But now, in his family, there are only two able-bodied people: him and Liu Mei.

Originally, the eldest son, Fu Jianguo, could have been included, since he was already 15 years old. However, Fu Jianguo is now disabled and bedridden, so how could he possibly work on the reservoir?

It's already considered good if you don't have to ask anyone to serve you.

Uncle Fu's sons are now almost all a huge headache.

Their children are still young, but the couple is determined to send one of them to work on the reservoir.

The key issue is that none of them want to go.

However, the village officials at the brigade headquarters did not give them a chance to escape.

The decision was announced to every household early in the morning, even those who were not present but whose household registrations were still there.

Liu Yaomei's health is very poor now, and Fu Bingqiang rarely appears in the village anymore, causing everyone to almost forget about the old couple.

They originally thought that since they were both old, they wouldn't need to contribute their manpower to the reservoir construction project.

Unexpectedly, their fourth son, Fu Hongye, was still listed on their household registration.

This means that Fu Hongye is now registered under the same household registration as Fu Bingqiang and Liu Yaomei.
