"That would cost 10 to 20 million. I asked everyone if they could overcome it first. Let's build the main roads in the village first. The small roads are only one to two hundred meters, three to four hundred meters long, but there are many small roads, so the investment is not small." Wu Baogen

He said hurriedly.

When Wu Baogen said this, everyone looked at each other, and the township chief said: "Weren't you very happy just now? Don't you want the village to build roads? This is a good thing. Mr. Chen is willing to practice. This is to benefit the people.

This is a good thing.”

"Yes, this is a good thing. How can it become a new rural area in one go? Don't worry. In fact, on small roads, every family squeezes out some money to build a cement road to the door of their house. Each household contributes a little, but it is actually not much.

I estimate that if one family contributes two to three thousand yuan, it will definitely be done well." A captain was busy trying to smooth things over.

"Damn it, Captain Gu, you're talking easy. Do you know how much corn you need to sell for two to three thousand yuan? How many watermelons do you want?"

"Captain Gu, you really can stand and talk without hurting your back. This is two to three thousand yuan. We grow crops a year and the harvest is only so much. I work in the county shoe factory and it only costs more than a thousand yuan a month. That's me."

Two months’ salary.”

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to practice, don't practice."

Under the continuous words, some villagers left my yard unhappily, and as time went by, more and more villagers left. In the end, Fu Guoqing smiled awkwardly, and I felt even worse.

"Mr. Chen, rural people are like this, they all care about themselves, don't worry about building roads -" Fu Guoqing said.

"The main road in the village must be repaired," I said.

"Okay, okay! Then when I go back, I will file a report and say that you invested in building this road. When the time comes, I will get the banner and report it to the newspaper. By the way, Lao Chen, aren't you a soldier? Your family review

Has the family been honored?" Fu Guoqing asked hurriedly as he spoke.

Generally speaking, there is a sign for "Glory Family", but I didn't put it up at the door of my house. I guess I noticed it when the National Day just came, so I asked.

"No." My dad smiled awkwardly.

"Village Chief Wu, this is a glorious family, you have to do it early." Fu Guoqing looked at Wu Baogen and continued.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Baogen nodded quickly.

"It's okay then. I just came here. The roads in this village are indeed not very good. Xiao Wang, let's go back first."

Soon, Fu Guoqing and his driver left my house, and my parents rushed to see him off. Wu Baogen and I looked at each other, and several other captains also smiled at each other.

"Chief, go slow!" Wu Baogen and others watched the mayor's car leave and waved continuously.

After seeing off the mayor, several captains also said goodbye and left. This time, it was quite deserted, and only our family and Mr. and Mrs. Wu Baogen were left.

"That's too much. What are you talking about?" My dad looked ugly.

"Old man, this was originally a good thing, but now it's like we owe everyone something," my mother said.

"Hey, Chunxi, don't worry about it. The people in this village are so virtuous. When they see your home is in good condition, and when they hear that the road is to be built, they want everything to be good. It doesn't cost them money anyway. What's this called?

Do you know? This is called good fortune leading to conscience, poverty leading to treachery, and they are all a group of masters who are not easy to serve." Wu Baogen sighed and continued.

"Old Wu, I really didn't expect this. This is really a good intention with bad intentions." My dad said unhappily.

"Anyway, we are doing our job. Chunxi, I know that you are willing to spend money for the good of the village. That is because you have made up your mind. As for what they say, don't take it to heart. Don't do it for the sake of face. Do you really fulfill their wishes?" , your money is not brought by the strong wind. Tens of millions to build a new rural area is neither fish nor fowl, and it is not a model village. The township head really thinks that you are nothing, and he wants to compare our rural areas with those in big cities. Is this possible? People in big cities and rural areas can earn more than a thousand yuan a month when they retire at the age of sixty. What we have here, even the benefits cannot keep up, and we still want to make a fool of ourselves and pretend to be fat." Wu Baogen continued.

"Uncle Baogen, I know, how should I put it? I guess the township head also hopes that the area under his jurisdiction can develop, but the township and even the county really don't have money. My personal abilities are only these. I can't fight in a big way." Go and do it, it will break your muscles and bones, what am I doing, I just feel that the road in the village is not good, so I plan to build the road, how can I think so much." I said.

To build a new countryside, we have to go to every house, paint walls, and manage rivers. It is such a big battle. I even think that tens of millions is not enough, but I am not easy to have an attack. After all, I am in Shanghai and have been there. In rural areas, just planting trees in rural areas is not enough. How can we compare with rural areas in big cities?

"Anyway, just don't think about it so much. And Lao Chen, don't take it to heart either. Chunxi has a good heart, but everyone can't understand it. I believe that over time, after taking this path of cultivation, my mentality will be different. You don’t know that roads in other villages have not been repaired, but our village is at least starting to do so now,” Wu Baogen continued.

"Hey!" My dad sighed.

After bidding farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Wu Baogen, our family of three returned home. My mother was preparing dinner, while my father was sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the living room, a little dazed.

I comforted her a little and told my dad that I would go check out the new house in Xuancheng tomorrow, and my dad felt better.

When I walked upstairs, I saw Zhou Ruoyun and Jiang Fang. The children's aunt had already arranged for them to go to bed.

"Husband, if you don't tell me, I know what just happened. We all heard it from the balcony." Zhou Ruoyun said.

"Hey, everyone is not satisfied." I sighed.

"Xiao Chen, this is human nature. If you have money, everyone will think this is what you should do. Just like if a celebrity donates one or two million to disaster relief, the trolls on the Internet will think it is less and more morally kidnapped. They never think about it. In fact, even if celebrities don't donate a penny, it doesn't matter. However, due to the pressure of public opinion, they still donate too little. People talk, but if you practice cultivation, you all hope to get benefits. You wish you could practice it at your doorstep. It’s so cheap. For them, if you don’t take advantage of it, how can they consider so much and consider your feelings? For them, anyway, you If you have money, you have to do this. If you don't say so, that would be stingy." Jiang Fang said.

"Yes, it is indeed the case. Everyone said it very smoothly, as if it was natural for me to spend money, but the captain said that every family should spend some money to repair the path in front of their house, but none of them were happy. I just cried so much." I nodded and continued.
