Chapter 13 Opening Ceremony
New Road in Yanjia Village is open to traffic today.
Under the arrangement of the village chief Yan Guanyu, a grand opening ceremony will be held, and the town mayor and relevant leaders of the city will be invited to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Young people who went out to work in the village were also called back. More than a hundred and dozens of people gathered at the entrance of the village to beat drums and drums, and passing vehicles rolled down the windows to slow down and watch for a while.
I saw the banner read:
"Warmly celebrate the full opening of the hard-bottomed village road in Yanjia Village"
"Thank you for the Party's construction of a new countryside and wish the motherland prosperity"
At around 10 o'clock, a salute sounded, and Yan Guanyu, holding several leaders, cut off the red silk cloth blocked on the road. The brand new "Yanjia Village" village sign was also unveiled, and thunderous applause suddenly sounded at the scene.
A passionate young man spontaneously bought some fireworks and firecrackers, which soared into the sky. Although the fireworks were not visible in broad daylight, the sound of Yanjia Village could be heard very far.
Under the shooting of the reporter, several leaders walked up to deliver a generous speech, with flashing lights flashing. After the speech, several official cars were the first to pass through the new road, followed by more than a dozen small bridge cars, two of which were the new cars just picked up by the young man in the village.
The straight main road is 6 meters wide, with red flags waving in the wind on both sides, and the atmosphere on the scene can be said to be quite in place.
"It's really a prosperous scene." Standing on the top of the mountain, Yan Jun couldn't help but sigh.
"Puchi!" Zhang Yingtian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help laughing and looked at him with a smile: "Don't be so angry. The government also needs publicity for poverty alleviation. Officials also need political achievements. Don't expect every civil servant to be a ***. That's unrealistic. Besides, the morale of the villagers is high, at least they can be happy. There is nothing wrong with it."
"Then please ask our representative Zhang, why don't you join in the fun? With your contribution to Yanjia Village, you can even use a pair of scissors to cut the red cloth?" Yan Jun couldn't help but tease.
Zhang Yingtian didn't agree with it, looked down at the village and said lightly: "I don't need these!"
Yan Jun looked at her side face and suddenly felt that this was a kind of domineering aura like Wu Zetian.
Zhang Yingtian looked back and asked in turn: "Why, they didn't invite the boss of Yan Jun to participate in the ceremony? No matter how you said, you spent 100,000 yuan, right?"
Yan Jun smiled, he wasn't invited yet...
Yan Guanyu is actually unhappy recently. She was suppressed by Zhang Yingtian in poverty alleviation work and could only become a fight. It was not that Zhang Yingtian wanted to steal his limelight. The two had different positions, but the main reason was that they lacked abilities became a foil.
Zhang Yingtian is a government official, and he is very famous, so Yan Guanyu endured it. But the top students who became jokes in the village also stole his limelight, so he couldn't bear it. He was publicizing both openly and secretly that Yan Jun paid the money for the road to the fruit farm and for his own interests...
But I don’t think that there are standards for the hard-bottom roads in the new rural areas of the government to alleviate poverty. They can only be 4 meters, not more or less. They can spend more money to pave longer roads, but not wider roads. This is a fixed standard. Even Zhang Yingtian does not have the power to apply for construction. If there is no Yan Jun’s 100,000 yuan, the village can only raise funds by itself.
"But our Yan Jun boss is not a vain person, otherwise he would not have maintained such a high degree of education and returned to the village to develop." Zhang Yingtiandao.
"I finally feel better after hearing what you said." Yan Jun said artificially.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The craze for opening new roads did not end there, but it was pushed to its climax in a few days.
Two consecutive days, two older young villagers in Yanjia Village succeeded, and even their wedding was put on the agenda.
Now the number of men and women is unbalanced, and it is not easy for older young people in the village to find a wife. In the past, the matchmaker brought people to the door for a blind date. When the woman saw the backward situation of Yanjia Village, she was inevitably disliked. But now that the road has been repaired, it is also a key poverty alleviation demonstration site in the province. It gives people a completely different impression. Once the matchmakers matched each other, they were all done without much talk.
Yan's father just came back from studying outside today. When he learned the news, he was depressed. After breakfast, he went out alone and did not return home until the evening.
During dinner, Yan's father suddenly said, "You are already old and your peers are already married and have children. You can't hold on like this anymore. If you have a girlfriend, take it home for everyone to see."
This is asking knowingly.
Yan Jun was also unexpected. He looked at Zhang Yingtian next to him and said, "No hurry."
"You don't have to worry, your mother is anxious! I'm anxious! When your mother gets old, who will take care of your child?" Yan's father's voice unconsciously increased.
Yan Jun suddenly lost his words.
"I have already shown you everything. There is a good girl in Jiangcheng. A female college student who studies Chinese medicine. Her family also runs a pharmacy. She has good conditions in all aspects. She is about the same age as you. People will come to the village tomorrow. If you don't take good care of me, I will deal with you!" Yan's father said in a rough voice.
This is to take action first and then report.
"Even if you want to go on a blind date, you must at least get my consent? If you ask without asking, call someone. What if there is already someone outside?" Yan Jun also got upset for a moment. He could understand his parents' concern for his marriage, and he was not unacceptable to ask him to go on a blind date, but he was a good decision and arranged his blind date first and then report, which was really unacceptable.
"Take someone back to me!" Yan's father slapped the table.
"You... are unreasonable!" Yan Jun was so angry that he couldn't fight with him, so he could only put down his bowls and chopsticks and went up the mountain alone.
Zhang Yingtian at the dinner table was a little confused and a little embarrassed, and he was a little confused about how to deal with himself for a while.
"Xiaotian, what you said to him, please help me persuade me." Yan's father suddenly said.
"This..." Zhang Yingtian didn't expect that he would be affected, so he smiled bitterly and agreed.
Fruit field.
Yan Jun was still full of anger, and he had just eaten a few bites and felt empty and uncomfortable.
Anyway, I have to solve the supper for the ugly slave. After all, I have collected gold and silver from others. I simply picked a big fat chicken and cut my throat and plucked my hair. After one knife, my entire neck was cut off, and my hands were a little heavy.
"Oh, I'm having a small meal!" Zhang Yingtian said with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Yan Jun was a little embarrassed.
"Your father asked me to come up and persuade you to cooperate with a blind date tomorrow." Zhang Yingtian said and laughed. What's the matter? I have to say that Yan's father is really a wise man, and his move is simply heartbroken.
Yan Jun suddenly felt something in his heart, so he found firewood to boil water but refused to give him a reply.
"It's not easy for uncles. I'm worried that ordinary girls will not be worthy of you, so I went to the blind date corner in the city to find a partner for you. I've seen all the photos on my phone. It's a very good girl." Zhang Yingtian said softly.
"But there is no such person as him." Yan Jun was bitter.
"Actually, it's pretty good. At least I can choose. I don't even have the chance to choose. Whoever my parents ask me to marry, I can only marry whom. In order to get the blessings of my family, I don't even dare to resist. Do you... understand what I mean?" Zhang Yingtian looked at him.
Yan Jun fell silent.
"It's really not easy for girls to come here to go on blind dates. You can't embarrass others. Together and entertain them tomorrow, maybe you can drink your wedding banquet soon. Solving marriage problems is also a way to help the poor!"
At dusk in June, the sunlight made Zhang Yingtian's back very slender.
Chapter completed!
